  A mode for carrying out the slot machine according to the present invention will be described based on the following embodiments.

[Structure of slot machine 1]
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. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol array of reels.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a front door 1b pivotally supported at a side end of a casing 1a having a front opening. Inside the slot machine 1, reels 2L, 2C, 2R (hereinafter, left reel, middle reel, right reel) in which a plurality of types of symbols that can be distinguished from each other are arranged in the same order in a predetermined order are arranged horizontally. Three symbols, which are arranged in parallel and are arranged on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, are continuously arranged in upper, middle, and lower three stages in the perspective window 3 provided in the approximate center of the front of the slot machine 1. It is arranged so that it is displayed and can be seen from the player side.

  Each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is rotated by a reel motor provided correspondingly. As the reel 2 is rotated by the reel motor, the symbols arranged on the reel 2 are displayed on the transparent window 3 while continuously changing (variable display). Further, the rotation of the reel motor is stopped and the rotation of the reel 2 is stopped, so that three continuous symbols are derived and displayed as the display result on the transparent window 3. When all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, a plurality of display results are derived and a display result combination which is a combination of the plurality of display results is derived and displayed on the see-through window 3. Hereinafter, the display result combination and the display result derived and displayed on the see-through window 3 are also referred to as a stop result. Further, among the display results derived and displayed through the transparent window 3, the symbol arrangement seen at the top is also referred to as an upper stage, the symbol arrangement seen at the center is referred to as a middle stage, and the symbol arrangement seen at the bottom is also referred to as a lower stage.

  In this embodiment, 21 areas are defined on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R divided by the number of steps (8 steps) in which one symbol moves. One of these 21 areas is referred to as "one frame", and the number of movements (the number of fluctuations) of the symbols due to the rotation of the reel is referred to as "number of frames". A symbol number of 0 to 20 is assigned to each of the 21 areas from a predetermined "reel origin position" of the reel, and symbols of the type shown in FIG. 2 are arranged in each of them. The numbers provided in the left column in FIG. 2 are symbol numbers. For example, the 20th symbol on the left reel 2L is "7".

  The reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate so that the respective symbols are variably displayed from the upper stage to the lower stage. Specifically, the symbol 20 in FIG. 2 passes through the upper stage of the see-through window 3, and then passes through the middle stage and the lower stage. In other words, while the reel 2 is rotating, symbols 0, 1, 2, 3 ... 20 pass through the middle part of the transparent window 3 in order from 0, and after the symbol 20 passes, 0 The pattern passes.

  The reel motor is rotated by operating each of the left stop switch 8L, the middle stop switch 8C, and the right stop switch 8R (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as stop switch 8 or stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) provided on the front door. Stop by that. In other words, the stop switch 8 functions as a derivation operation unit that is operated when the rotation of the reel is stopped. Each of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is associated with each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and when the left stop switch 8L is operated, the left reel 2L is stopped and the middle stop switch 8C is operated. Then, the middle reel 2C is stopped, and when the right stop switch 8R is operated, the right reel 2R is stopped.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the configuration using three reels is illustrated, but the configuration using only one reel, the configuration using two reels, and the configuration using four or more reels are also possible. Good. Further, in the present embodiment, the variable display section for variably displaying the symbols is constituted by the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, but the variable display section may be other than the reel, and, for example, a plurality of them may be provided on the outer peripheral surface. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the symbols can be variably displayed by moving the belt on which the symbols are arranged. Further, in the present embodiment, the variable display section is configured by a physical reel, but the variable display section may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the front of the slot machine 1, a medal insertion portion 4 into which medals can be inserted, a medal payout opening 9 from which medals are paid out, and a credit (the number of medals stored as a gaming value owned by a player). ) Is used to set the maximum bet number out of the specified number (3 in the present embodiment) of bets determined according to the gaming state within that range, the MAXBET switch 6 and the credit. The settlement switch 10 that is operated to settle the medals used to set the medals and the bet number stored therein (return the medals used to set the credits and the bet number), and to start the game. The start switch 7 operated, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R operated when stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R respectively, and the player at the time of performance Accordingly effect switch 56 to be operated are respectively operable by the player.

  On the front surface of the slot machine 1, a side lamp 27 including a plurality of LEDs is provided beside the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. A reel that is provided near the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R so as to correspond to each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and that irradiates each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R with light from the back side or side of the reel. Backlights 28L, 28C, 28C (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "reel backlight 28") are provided. Further, above the liquid crystal display 51, speakers 53 and 54 for outputting sound are provided.

  Further, the front door 1b is provided with a bonus medium lamp 60 above the liquid crystal display 51, which indicates that a bonus (CB, BB described later) is being controlled. The during-bonus lamp 60 is controlled to be turned on and off by the sub control unit 91.

  The display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is divided into a first area 51c and a second area 51d. The brightness of the first area 51c is darker than that of the second area 51d. The effect image is displayed over the first area 51c and the second area 51d. Then, an obtainable number display 61 (display of "LAST ○○○" in the figure, XX indicates the number of medals that can be acquired), a total acquisition number display 62 (display of "TOTAL ○○○" in the figure, XX) ◯ indicates the total number of medals acquired, and the display 63 of the number of acquired medals ("GET ○○○" in the figure, XX indicates the number of medals acquired) is displayed in the first area 51c with dark brightness. Therefore, the player can easily recognize the available number display 61, the total number display 62, and the number display 63. Further, the total acquired number display 62 has a larger character size than the obtainable number display 61 and the acquired number display 63, and is displayed in an area larger than the obtainable number display 61 and the acquired number display 63. .. The total acquisition number display 62 may not be displayed simultaneously with the acquisition possible number display 61 or the acquisition number display 63, but may be displayed at different timings. Even in this case, the total acquired number display 62 may be displayed in a larger area than the obtainable number display 61 and the acquired number display 63.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the front of the slot machine 1, a credit indicator 11 for displaying the number of medals stored as credits, the number of medals paid out due to the occurrence of a prize, and the contents thereof when an error occurs A game auxiliary display 12 that displays an error code, 1BETLED14 that informs that the number of bets is set to 1 by lighting, 2BETLED15 that notifies that the number of bets is set to 2 by lighting, and the number of bets is set to 3 3BET LED 16 for notifying that it is being turned on, insertion request LED 17 for notifying that a medal can be inserted by lighting, and start valid LED 18 for notifying that the start operation of the game by operating the start switch 7 is effective , An advantageous section LE that informs by lighting that it is controlled to an advantageous section described later 19, the game display section 13 in the replay LED20 is provided for informing is provided by lighting the effect that during replay game.

  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 operations on the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the settlement switch 10, and the like, and the insertion of medals into the medal insertion unit 4, and in response to the detected operations, The control relating to the progress of the game is performed by rotating / stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R and turning on / off each LED in the game display unit 13.

  Inside the slot machine 1, a sub-control unit 91 that controls an effect in response 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. Based on the command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 displays an image on the liquid crystal display 51, outputs sound from the speakers 53 and 54, and outputs the side lamp 27, the reel backlight 28, and the bonus medium lamp 60. Controls turning on / off. The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output of the speakers 53, 54 is stored in the RAM 91c. Further, the sub-control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56, and controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the detected operation.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, every time the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, information that can specify the reels 2L, 2C, 2R to be stopped, and stop the reels 2L, 2C, 2R to be stopped. Information that can specify the timing when the switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated and information that can specify the reel stop position are transmitted to the sub control unit 91 as commands. The information that can specify the timing at which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated is, for example, information that can specify the symbol number of the reel that has passed a specific position when the stop switch is operated.

[Outline of Game in Slot Machine 1]
Next, an outline of the game in the slot machine 1 will be described. Here, in the present embodiment, operating the start switch 7 to rotate the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is also referred to as "start operation". Further, when the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated by the operation of the start switch 7, the rotation of the first reel of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped by the first operation (first operation). "First stop operation" means to stop the rotation of the second reel by the second operation (second operation), "second stop operation" means that the rotation of the second reel is stopped by the third operation (last operation) Stopping the rotation of the second reel is also referred to as “third stop operation”. Further, releasing the depression (third stop operation) on the third stop switch (that is, releasing the hand from the stop switch) is also referred to as “third stop release”. In addition, operating the left stop switch 8L, the middle stop switch 8C, and the right stop switch 8R in this order is “forward press”, and operating the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L is reverse press. ".

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a specified number of bets (maximum 3 in the present embodiment) is set by inserting a medal into the medal inserting section 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. 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 LN is a line set to determine whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the transparent window 3 of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the payline LN is set as the middle stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, the middle stage of the right reel 2R, that is, the middle stage, that is, the winning line LN set across the horizontally arranged symbols. There is. In the present embodiment, the pay line LN is set based on the game state controlled by the main controller 41.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state in which the game can be started, the main control unit 41 determines a display result that allows derivation. Further, when the start switch 7 is operated, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels 2L, 2C, 2R to variably display the symbols. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the main control unit 41 stops the rotation of the corresponding reel. By stopping the rotation of the reel, three symbols are derived and displayed as the display result in the upper, middle, and lower stages of the transparent window 3. The rotation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped under the condition that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are manually pressed. In other words, after each stop switch is pressed by hand, the rotation of each reel is stopped and the design is led out to the see-through window 3 even in a state where the pressing is maintained without being released.

  The main control unit 41 is based on the display result in which the derivation is permitted, and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is the derivation operation of the player, and the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. Reel control for stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Here, the player's deriving operation is that the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in order to stop the reels 2L, 2C, 2R and derive the display result.

  When a combination of winning symbols is stopped on the pay line LN and a winning occurs, the main control unit 41 executes a process according to the winning. The process corresponding to the winning includes, for example, a process of giving a privilege. Here, in the slot machine 1, since it is necessary to set a bet number of a specified number in order to execute one game, a medal, which is a gaming value, is consumed every time one game is played. The privilege includes granting a gaming value, a right to execute a game without consuming a gaming value, a right to control an advantageous state such as an advantageous section or a bonus state, and the like.

  Here, the "game (also referred to as a unit 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, but the start switch when playing the game. Since the bet number setting before the operation of 7 and the payout of medals and the transition of the game state are performed after all reels are stopped, these incidental processes are also broadly included in the “game”.

[Setting value]
The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the payout rate of medals changes according to the set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery such as the internal lottery that influences the advantage to the player. The set value is made up of 6 levels from 1 to 6, where 6 is the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value is in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases in stages.

  For example, with respect to special winning combinations (CB, BB) and small winning combinations, which will be described later, when the setting value is 6, the winning probability is highest, and the winning probability decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. However, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is the highest for the player, and as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases in stages.

[Winner]
As a winning combination (also referred to as a "winning combination"), a special combination, a small combination, and a re-gaming combination are provided. The special combination is a combination in which the gaming state is controlled to be a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small combination is higher than that in the non-bonus state by winning a prize, and is a combination accompanied by a transition to the bonus state. 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 the next game can be started by consuming a prize without consuming a medal owned by the player. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a winning combination. In addition, in FIG. 3, “-” is shown for a winning combination that does not win in that state.

  In the present embodiment, the special combination includes a challenge bonus (CB) and a big bonus (BB). When winning the CB, the state is controlled by the CB. During CB, each game, the drawable range of at least one reel becomes narrower than during non-CB, and a challenge time (CT) is allowed in which all small winning awards are allowed to occur. When winning the BB, the state is controlled by the BB. During BB, the winning probability of the small winning combination is higher than during non-bonus (normally, inside RT, inside CB, inside BB). (In the present embodiment, only Bell 1 and the technical intervention player are elected in the BB, and the Bell 1 or the technical intervention player can win the prize. The number of bets in the non-bonus is 3 BET, while the CB is CB. The bet number in and the bet number in BB is 2 BET.

  Small roles include Cherry, Watermelon, Bell 1, Bell 2, and Technical Intervention. During the non-bonus, 8 medals are paid out when winning any of the cherry, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, and technical intervention. During the CB, 15 medals are paid out when one of the cherries, watermelons, bell 1 and bell 2 is won, and 14 medals are paid out when the technical intervention is won. During BB, 15 medals are paid out when the Bell 1 is won, and 14 medals are paid out when the technical intervention is won. The technical intervention player can be won only during CB or BB, and can be won only when the player is reversely pressed. In addition, the replay role includes replay. In the present embodiment, the replay is not won during the bonus.

[Internal lottery]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when all reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, a combination of symbols called a winning combination (winning combination) on the activated winning line is won. The main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not to allow a prize to be generated before each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped and a display result is derived. The winning of the winning combination is allowed in the internal lottery, and the main control unit 41 wins the winning combination when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the operation mode in which the winning combination can be won. In this way, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are controlled. For example, the lottery result of the internal lottery includes a lottery result permitting the derivation of a small winning combination in which a medal is paid out, a lottery result permitting the derivation of a special player, and a lottery result permitting the derivation of a re-gaming role. .. Further, the lottery result of the internal lottery may include a result of simultaneously winning a plurality of winning combinations. For example, the lottery result of the internal lottery may include a lottery result that allows the derivation of the small combination and the special role, a lottery result that allows the derivation of the re-game combination and the special combination, and the like.

  The main control unit 41 wins the internal lottery and sets the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c. The winning flags of the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are valid only in the game in which the flags are set, and are invalid in the next game. On the other hand, the winning flags of the special winning combinations such as CB and BB are valid until the combination of the winning combinations permitted by the flags is complete, and are invalid in the game in which the combinations of the winning combinations are complete. That is, once the winning flag of a special winning combination is won, even if the combination of winning combinations allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and carried over to the next game. Become. A state in which the winning flag of such a special role is carried over is also referred to as an inside state.

[Game state]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the game state. As shown in FIG. 4, in the slot machine 1, as a controllable game state, a normal state, CB inside, CB, BB inside, BB, and RT state are provided. The main control unit 41 controls to any one of the plurality of game states and functions as a state control means. The probability of winning a winning combination varies depending on the gaming state. The winning probability includes 0% and 100%. That is, depending on the gaming state, it may happen that a predetermined winning combination is not won or that a predetermined winning combination is won in each game.

  The normal state is a gaming state that is controlled immediately after the setting change is completed, and the stay rate is high. The normal state is more disadvantageous to the player than CB or BB. Specifically, in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed so that the probability of winning a small winning combination is lower than that of CB or BB. As shown in FIG. 3, in the normal state, it is possible to win any one of the roles of CB, BB, cherry, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, technical intervention combination, and replay. Further, during the normal state, the pay line LN set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle is set as the pay line (see FIG. 1).

  When the CB is won in the normal state or the RT state and the CB is won in the winning game, the state is controlled from the next game to the CB. On the other hand, when the CB is won in the normal state or the RT state and the winning game is not won in the CB, the state is controlled inside the CB in which the winning of the CB is carried over. When a CB wins inside the CB, the state is controlled to CB from the game next to the game that won the CB. In CB, it is possible to win every game in any of the roles of cherry, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, and technical intervention, and not to win replay. In the case of CB, since each game is won as the technical intervention role, the player can win the technical intervention role for each game. In the present embodiment, during CB, the pay line LN is set over the middle row, as in the other gaming states.

  The CB ends on the condition that 150 or more medals have been paid out after being controlled by the CB (see FIG. 3). For example, if you win only the winning combination that produces 15 payouts without winning the technical intervention combination that produces 14 payouts after being controlled by CB, 10 times (15 x 10 times = 150) The control to CB is completed at the time of winning the prize. On the other hand, when the player has won the technical intervention combination once after being controlled by the CB and has won the winning combination for which 15 coins are paid out nine times, the number of medals paid out is 149, which is less than 150. Therefore, the CB is controlled until the small winning combination is won once more. In other words, the number of medals that can be acquired during the CB is the maximum when the technical intervention combination is won once during the CB. Therefore, when controlled by CB, by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R so that the technical intervention combination is won only once, and the winning combination of 15 coins is paid out in the rest of the game. You can maximize the number of medals you can get inside. Therefore, when the player is controlled by CB, the player first plays the game with the aim of winning a technical intervention role with 14 medals, and the number of medals paid out is 15 after the technical intervention role has been won once. There is a tendency to aim for winning a single role.

  If the player wins BB in the normal state or the RT state and wins the BB in the winning game, the state is controlled from the next game to BB. On the other hand, when the BB is won in the normal state or the RT state and the winning game is not won in the BB, the state is controlled inside the BB in which the winning of the BB is carried over. When a BB wins inside the BB, the state is controlled to BB from the game next to the game that won the BB. In BB, it is possible to win either the Bell 1 or the technical intervention role, and not the other roles. In the case of BB, unlike CB, the player cannot win the Bell 1 or the technical intervention role unless the Bell 1 or the technical intervention role is won in the internal lottery.

  The BB ends on the condition that 345 or more medals have been paid out after being controlled by the BB (see FIG. 3). For example, if you win only the Bell 1 that produces 15 payouts without winning the technical intervention role that produces 14 payouts after being controlled by the BB, 23 times (15 x 23 times = 345) The control to BB is completed at the time of winning the prize. On the other hand, at the time when the player has won the technical intervention role once after being controlled by the BB and has won the bell 1 for which 22 payouts of 15 coins are made 22 times, the payout number of medals is 344, which is less than 345. Therefore, the BB is controlled until the small winning combination is won once more. In other words, the number of medals that can be acquired in the BB is maximized when the player has won the technical intervention role once in the BB. Therefore, when controlled by BB, by operating the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R by winning the technical intervention combination only once, and winning the combination that produces 15 coins in the rest of the game. It is possible to maximize the number of medals that can be acquired during BB. Therefore, when the player is controlled by BB, the player first plays the game with the aim of winning a technical intervention role having 14 medals to be paid out, and once the technical intervention role has won, the payout number of medals is 15 There is a tendency to aim for the winning of a piece of Bell 1.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 shifts the state from the CB to the RT state on the condition that 150 or more medals have been paid out in the CB, and 345 or more medals have been paid out in the BB. The state is changed from the BB to the RT state on the condition that it is performed. As described above, the number of paid-out sheets which is the condition for ending the CB is smaller than the number of paid-out sheets which is the condition for ending the BB. Therefore, the CB control period is shorter than the BB control period.

  The RT (replay time) state is a state in which the winning probability of the re-play combination in the internal lottery is higher than in the non-RT (for example, normal state), and the replay game is executed in the RT state with a higher probability than in the non-RT state Therefore, the player can easily proceed with the game without consuming his or her own medal. In the present embodiment, after the bonus ends, the state is controlled to be in the RT state for a predetermined period (for example, 30 games), and if the player wins CB or BB during this period, the normal state is obtained. The state can be controlled by the CB or BB without going through. In this case, since the game does not go through the normal state, the game can be advanced without reducing the number of medals and credits owned by the player as much as possible.

[Reel control]
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is based on an operation mode including an order (operation order) and timing (operation timing) at which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, and a winning flag indicating the result of the internal lottery. Function as a derivation control means for controlling the reel stop.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated to start changing the symbols. The rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped and the symbols are stopped and displayed.

  In non-CB, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the stop switches is 190 ms (millisecond). ..

  The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and the pattern for 80 × 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames is changed, so that a maximum of 4 symbols are drawn in 190 ms. It will be possible. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated and the symbols that are four frames ahead from that symbol, for a total of five symbols. Therefore, for example, when the symbols displayed in the middle row of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the stop switches when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated as a reference, from the symbols It is possible to display symbols up to 4 frames ahead in the middle row.

  For example, when winning CB, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols 0 to 3 or 11 to 20 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle row, the symbol "7" is displayed in the middle row. Is drawn in. For example, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 0th symbol of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, the main controller 41 determines the timing at which the left reel 2L is stopped as the timing at which the left stop switch 8L is operated. After spinning for 3 frames, the left reel 2L is stopped, and the third "7" symbol is stopped in the middle stage.

  During CB, each game CT is controlled. In CT, the retractable range of at least one reel (also referred to as CT reel) is narrower than usual. In the present embodiment, the retractable range of the left reel 2L during CT is narrower than usual. Specifically, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the left stop switch 8L to the stop of the rotation of the left reel 2L is 75 ms (milliseconds), and the operation of the middle stop switch 8C or the right stop switch 8R to the middle reel. The maximum stop delay time until the rotation of 2C or the right reel 2R is stopped is 190 ms (millisecond).

  In other words, when the left stop switch 8L is operated, it is possible to select as a stop symbol, the symbols displayed when the left stop switch 8L is operated, and the symbols one frame ahead from that, for a total of two frames. Is a pattern. For this reason, for example, when the symbol displayed in the middle stage of the left reel 2L when the left stop switch 8L is operated is used as a reference, the symbols from the symbol to the one frame ahead can be displayed in the middle stage. In this way, with respect to the left reel 2L, the retractable range during CT is limited as compared with the normal range. Note that, during CT, with respect to the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R other than the left reel 2L, the retractable range is the same as during non-CB, and a maximum of four symbols can be retracted.

[Example of operation timing]
Before describing an example of reel control during CB and during BB, “first timing” and “second timing” in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of operation timings on the left reel 2L.

  The "first timing" is the timing at which the cherry symbols can be drawn onto the pay line LN within the pullable range. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5, as the first timing, the timing of operating the left stop switch 8L when the orange No. 1 or the cherry No. 2 is located in the middle row, and the bell No. 8 or the cherry No. 9 are The timing for operating the left stop switch 8L when it is located in the middle stage and the timing for operating the left stop switch 8L when the 13th bell or the 14th cherry is located in the middle stage are provided. By operating the left stop switch 8L at such a first timing, even with the maximum stop delay time of 75 ms as in CB, with the symbol displayed when the left stop switch 8L is operated. Since the symbols from there to one frame ahead, the symbols for a total of two frames can be stopped on the middle line LN, the cherry symbols are stopped on the pay line LN.

  The “second timing” is the timing at which the watermelon symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN within the pullable range. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5, as the second timing, a timing for operating the left stop switch 8L when the 18th bar or the 19th watermelon is located in the middle stage is provided. By operating the left stop switch 8L at such a second timing, even if the maximum stop delay time is 75 ms as in CB, with the symbol displayed when the left stop switch 8L is operated. , The symbols up to 1 frame ahead, the symbols for a total of 2 frames can be stopped on the middle line LN, so that the watermelon symbols are stopped on the pay line LN.

[An example of reel control when the CB is normally pressed]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of reel control when the CB is normally pressed. As shown in FIG. 6A, when a start operation is performed during CB, the reels rotate in a state where all the small wins have been won and the game is started.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (B1) after FIG. 6 (A), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing (see FIG. 5) as the first stop operation, the middle row on the pay line LN. The cherry pattern stops. As described above, during CB, the left reel 2L is set to the CT reel, so that the player only plays the cherry on the pay line LN when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing. The design can be stopped.

  After (B1) in FIG. 6, as shown in (C1) in FIG. 6, when the middle stop switch 8C is operated as the second stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do.

  After (C1) in FIG. 6, as shown in (D1) in FIG. 6, when the right stop switch 8R is operated as the third stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to the cherry prize is derived on the pay line LN, and 15 medals are paid out.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (B2) after FIG. 6 (A), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing (see FIG. 5) as the first stop operation, the pay line LN is displayed. Watermelon pattern stops.

  After (B2) in FIG. 6, when the middle stop switch 8C is operated as the second stop operation, as shown in (C2) in FIG. 6, if the operation timing is within the retractable range of the watermelon symbol, the winning line The watermelon design stops on the LN. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (C3), if the operation timing is outside the retractable range of the watermelon symbol, the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line LN.

  After (C2) in FIG. 6, as the third stop operation, when the right stop switch 8R is operated, as shown in (D2-1) in FIG. 6, if the operation timing is within the retractable range of the watermelon symbol, The watermelon symbol stops on the pay line LN. As a result, the symbol combination corresponding to the watermelon winning is derived on the winning line LN, and 15 medals are paid out. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (D2-2), if the operation timing is outside the retractable range of the watermelon symbol, the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line LN. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is not derived on the winning line LN, and the medal is not paid out.

  After (C3) in FIG. 6, as shown in (D3) in FIG. 6, when the right stop switch 8R is operated as the third stop operation, the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is not derived on the winning line LN, and the medal is not paid out.

  In this way, if the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by pressing forward in CB, if the left stop switch 8L can be operated at the first timing as the first stop operation, then the player stops. Regardless of the operation timing of the switches 8C and 8R, it is possible to always generate a cherry prize and obtain 15 medals.

  On the other hand, if the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by pressing forward in CB, the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing as the first stop operation, and then the stop switches 8C, 8R are operated. Depending on the operation timing, the watermelon can be won, but depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8C and 8R, no prize can be generated.

[An example of reel control when reversely pressed during CB]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of reel control when the CB is reversely pressed. As shown in FIG. 7A, when a start operation is performed during CB, the reels rotate in a state in which all the small wins are won, and the game is started.

  After FIG. 7 (A), as shown in FIG. 7 (B), when the right stop switch 8R is operated as the first stop operation, the replay symbol stops on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do.

  After FIG. 7B, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the middle stop switch 8C is operated as the second stop operation, the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do.

  After (C) in FIG. 7, as shown in (D1) in FIG. 7, as the third stop operation, the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing at which the bell symbol is not drawn onto the middle line LN in the first timing. Then, the cherry symbol stops on the pay line LN. Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated when any of the 1st orange, 2nd cherry, 9th cherry, and 14th cherry in the first timing is in the middle stage. , The cherry symbol stops on the pay line LN. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to the technical intervention winning combination is derived on the winning line LN, and 14 medals are paid out.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (D2) after FIG. 7 (C), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing as the third stop operation, the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line LN. .. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is not derived on the winning line LN, and the medal is not paid out.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (D3) after FIG. 7 (C), as the third stop operation, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing within the retractable range of the bell symbol, on the pay line LN. Bell pattern stops at. Specifically, any of the 4th replay, 5th bell, 7th blank, 8th bell, 12th replay, 13th bell, 16th replay, and 17th bell is in the middle row. When the left stop switch 8L is operated when the vehicle is positioned at, the bell symbol stops on the pay line LN. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to the Bell 2 winning is derived on the winning line LN, and 15 medals are paid out.

  On the other hand, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R by reversely pressing during CB, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing as the third stop operation, no prize can be generated. Can not.

  Furthermore, if the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by reversely pressing them in CB, as a third stop operation, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing within the retractable range of the bell symbol, the bell 2 You can win a prize and win 15 medals.

  As described above, during the CB, the player wins 14 technical medals by winning the technical intervention role according to the operation sequence and the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, cherry, and watermelon. Alternatively, it is possible to win 15 medals by winning a combination of 15 coins such as Bell 2, and it is possible to adjust the number of medals to be acquired. Moreover, unlike BB, the technical intervention player wins each game during CB, so that the player can perform such a game for adjusting the number of medals to be acquired for each game.

[An example of reel control when the BB is normally pressed]
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of reel control when the BB is normally pressed. As shown in FIG. 8A, when a start operation is performed during BB, an internal lottery is performed and the reels are rotated to start the game. In this example, a case where Bell 1 and a technical intervention role are simultaneously elected by an internal lottery is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (B) after FIG. 8 (A), when the stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing or the second timing as the first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the pay line LN. To do. As described above, unlike CB, a maximum of 4 symbols can be drawn in the left reel 2L during BB.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (C) after FIG. 8 (B), when the middle stop switch 8C is operated as the second stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do.

  After (C) in FIG. 8, as shown in (D) in FIG. 8, when the right stop switch 8R is operated as the third stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing. To do. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to the Bell 1 winning is derived on the winning line LN, and 15 medals are paid out.

  In this way, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by pressing forward in BB, which of the first timing and the second timing is the left stop switch 8L operated as the first stop operation? Regardless of this, you can always generate a Bell 1 prize and win 15 medals.

[Example of reel control when the button is reversely pressed during BB]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of reel control when the button is reversely pressed during BB. As shown in FIG. 9A, when a start operation is performed during BB, an internal lottery is performed and the reel is rotated to start the game. In this example, a case where Bell 1 and a technical intervention role are simultaneously elected by an internal lottery is shown.

  After FIG. 9 (C), as the third stop operation, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, as shown in FIG. 9 (D1), the cherry symbol is stopped on the pay line LN. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to the technical intervention winning combination is derived on the winning line LN, and 14 medals are paid out. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9D2, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, the watermelon symbol stops on the pay line LN. In this case, the symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is not derived on the winning line LN, and the medal is not paid out.

  As described above, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by reversely pressing during BB, if the left stop switch 8L can be operated at the first timing as the first stop operation, the player always wins the technical intervention prize. Can be generated and win 15 medals. On the other hand, if the player operates the left stop switch 8L at the second timing, no prize can be generated.

  As described above, during the BB, the player wins 14 technical medals and wins the bell 1 according to the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. It is possible to win 15 medals by winning the prize, and it is possible to adjust the number of medals to be acquired during BB. Unlike in CB, unlike in CB, the player can perform such a game of adjusting the number of medals to be won only in the game in which the technical intervention role is won by the internal lottery. The BB control period is longer than the CB control period.

[Specific performance]
FIG. 10: is a figure which shows an example of the specific production | production (1st aspect) in CB. In the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 uses the liquid crystal display 51 to perform a specific effect during CB. Specifically, the specific effect may be executed when the game is operated at the first timing where the winning is more likely to occur than the second timing, while the specific effect is not executed when the operation is performed at the second timing.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 stops left at the timing at which the 8th or 9th symbol provided at a position away from the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L has passed the middle stage in the first timing. When the switch 8L is operated and the 9th cherry on the left reel 2L is led to the middle stage, the specific effect is executed. On the other hand, in the sub-control unit 91, in the first timing, the left stop switch 8L is at a timing when the symbols 1 and 2 close to the symbol 19 of the left reel 2L or the symbols 13 and 14 pass through the middle stage. When operated, the specific effect is not executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, an image showing outer space is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the CB. After the operation of FIG. 10 (A), as the first stop operation, when the left reel 2L is operated at the first timing within the retractable range of the 9th cherry symbol, as shown in FIG. 10 (B1), the pay line The 9th cherry symbol stops on the LN.

  After (B1) in FIG. 10, as shown in (C1) in FIG. 10, a whiteout effect is temporarily performed in which the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51 becomes white, and no image is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 10D1, the specific effect is executed, and an image of a shooting star flowing is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The image as shown in FIG. 10D1 corresponds to the image of the first aspect in the specific effect.

  On the other hand, after FIG. 10 (A), as the first stop operation, when the left reel 2L is operated at the first timing within the retractable range of the 2nd or 14th cherry symbols, it is shown in FIG. 10 (B2). Thus, the 2nd or 14th cherry symbol stops on the pay line LN.

  When the 2nd or 14th cherry symbol is stopped on the pay line LN, after that, as shown in FIG. 10 (C2) and FIG. 10 (D2), the special effect is not executed and the space is still displayed. The image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  After the operation of FIG. 10 (A), as the first stop operation, when the left reel 2L is operated at the second timing within the retractable range of the 19th watermelon symbol, as shown in FIG. 10 (B3), The 19th watermelon design stops on the pay line LN.

  When the 19th watermelon design is stopped on the pay line LN, after that, as shown in FIG. 10 (C3) and FIG. 10 (D3), the image showing the outer space is still displayed on the liquid crystal without performing the specific effect. It is displayed on the display 51.

  As described above, during CB, the specific effect may be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, while the specific effect is not executed when operated at the second timing. Further, in the first timing, the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol provided at a position away from the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, and the left reel 2L is operated. When the 9th cherry of No. is derived to the middle stage, the specific effect is executed, while the 1st or 2nd close to the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L, or the 13th or 14th among the first timing. When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbol of No. passes through the middle row, the specific effect is not executed.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a specific effect mode determination table. A process for determining the mode of the specific effect will be described with reference to FIG. The sub control unit 91 can execute a plurality of types of specific effects having different modes. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 executes one of the specific effects of the first aspect, the second aspect, and the third aspect. The sub-control unit 91 determines the mode of the specific effect to be executed based on the timing when the left stop switch 8L is operated and the set value that is set. Regarding the first aspect, the second aspect, and the third aspect, any aspect may be applied as long as the aspects are different, for example, the number of shooting stars and the speed thereof are different. Good.

  FIG. 11A is a first specific effect mode determination table showing the probability of the mode of the specific effect executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the ninth symbol passes through the middle row. When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 9th symbol passes through the middle row, the number of sliding frames is 0.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, when the set value is 1 or 2, the sub-control unit 91 has a probability of 60% to execute the specific effect of the first mode and a probability of 30% to perform the specific effect of the second mode. As for the execution of the specific effect, the execution of the specific effect of the third aspect is determined with a probability of 10%. That is, when the set value is 1 or 2, the probability that the specific effect of the first aspect is executed is highest, the probability that the specific effect of the second aspect is executed next is high, and the specific effect of the third aspect is It has the lowest probability of being executed.

  When the set value is 3, 4, or 5, the sub-control unit 91 has a 20% probability of executing the first specific effect and a 60% probability of performing the second specific effect by 20%. Execution of the specific effect of the third aspect is determined with the probability of. That is, when the set value is 3, 4, or 5, the probability that the specific effect of the second mode is executed is highest, and the probability that the specific effect of the first mode is executed and the specific effect of the third mode are executed. Have the same probability.

  When the set value is 6, the sub control unit 91 has a probability of 10% to execute the specific effect of the first mode, a probability of 30% to execute the specific effect of the second mode, and a probability of 60% to perform the specific effect. The execution of the three specific effects is determined. That is, when the setting value is 6, the probability that the specific effect of the third aspect is executed is highest, the probability that the specific effect of the second aspect is executed next is high, and the specific effect of the first aspect is executed. Has the lowest probability of

  FIG. 11B is a second specific effect mode determination table showing the probability of the mode of the specific effect executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the eighth symbol passes through the middle row. When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 8th symbol passes through the middle stage, the number of sliding frames is 1.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the set value is 1 or 2, the sub-control unit 91 has a 40% probability of executing the specific effect of the first aspect and a 30% probability of having the second aspect. As for the execution of the specific effect, the execution of the specific effect of the third aspect is determined with a probability of 30%. That is, when the set value is 1 or 2, the probability that the specific effect of the first aspect is executed is the highest, the probability that the specific effect of the second aspect is executed, and the probability that the specific effect of the third aspect is executed. Are equal.

  When the set value is 3, 4 or 5, the sub-control unit 91 has a 30% probability of executing the first specific effect and a 40% probability of performing the second specific effect by 30%. Execution of the specific effect of the third aspect is determined with the probability of. That is, when the set value is 3, 4, or 5, the probability that the specific effect of the second mode is executed is highest, and the probability that the specific effect of the first mode is executed and the specific effect of the third mode are executed. Have the same probability.

  When the setting value is 6, the sub control unit 91 has a 30% probability of executing the first specific effect, a 30% probability of performing the second specific effect, and a 40% probability of performing the second special effect. The execution of the three specific effects is determined. That is, when the set value is 6, the probability that the specific effect of the third mode is executed is highest, and the probability that the specific effect of the first mode is executed is equal to the probability that the specific effect of the second mode is executed. ..

  That is, among the first aspect to the third aspect, the probability that the specific effect of the first aspect is executed is highest when the set value is 1 or 2, and the second aspect is specified when the set value is 3 to 5. The mode of the specific effect is determined such that the effect has the highest probability of being executed, and when the setting value is 6, the probability of the specific effect of the third mode being the highest. Therefore, the player can predict the set value set based on the aspect of the specific effect. That is, the specific effect can be said to be an effect that suggests which of the plurality of setting values the setting value that is set is.

  Further, as can be seen by comparing FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B, the bias of the execution probability is larger when the number of subframes is 0 than when the number of subframes is 1. Therefore, when the number of sliding frames is 0, the accuracy of suggesting the set value is higher than when the number of sliding frames is 1. For example, when the specific effect of the first aspect is executed, the possibility that the setting value is 1 or 2 is that the number of sliding frames is greater when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the number of sliding frames is 0. It is higher than when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing of becoming 1.

  An example in which the specific effect is executed when the left stop switch 8L is first operated has been described, but in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 does not depend on the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. The specific effect can be executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the left stop switch 8L is at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol passes through the middle row. When is operated, a specific effect may be executed.

  Also, when the left stop switch 8L is operated during the second stop or the third stop, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol passes through the middle row, the left stop switch is operated. In the case where the same reel control as in the case where 8L is operated during the first stop is performed, the aspect of the specific effect may be determined according to the table shown in FIG. Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the time of the second stop or the third stop, the number of sliding frames when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbol 9 passes through the middle stage is 0. Then, when the number of sliding frames is 1 when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the eighth symbol passes through the middle row, the aspect of the specific effect may be determined according to the table shown in FIG.

[Game characteristics in CB]
When the player is controlled by CB, the player first plays the game with the aim of winning the technical intervention role with 14 medals, and once the technical intervention role has won, the payout number of medals is 15 They tend to aim for winning the role. When the first stop operation of the left reel 2L is performed, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the symbol combination of the technical intervention combination in which 14 payouts are generated is not derived. On the other hand, when the right reel 2R is first stopped, the technical intervention combination can be derived. Therefore, the player tends to perform the first stop operation of the right reel 2R. Even if the middle stop switch 8C, the left stop switch 8L, and the right stop switch 8R are operated in this order in CB, it is possible to derive the technical intervention role when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing. May be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the probability of deriving a display result in which no winning occurs (probability of being missed) is greater when the right reel 2R is first stopped than when the left reel 2L is first stopped. Is lower. Here, the easiness of winning is determined depending on whether there is a small number or a large number of timings (missing spots) at which a display result that a winning does not occur is derived among the timings at which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the control to the CB is started, the player first stops the right reel 2R for the first time, and after the payout of 14 medals occurs, the player turns the left reel 2L to the first position. 1 tends to stop.

[Timer interrupt processing (sub)]
Next, the timer interrupt process (sub) executed by the sub control unit 91 at intervals of 1.12 ms based on the count value of the internal clock will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process (sub).

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 first saves the register in use to the stack area (Sp1). Next, the sub control unit 91 performs a power failure determination process (Sp2). In the power failure determination process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit, and if the voltage drop signal is input, the voltage drop signal is output even in the previous power failure determination process. It is determined whether or not it has been input, and if the voltage drop signal has been input in the previous power failure determination processing, it is determined that there is a power failure, and the power interruption flag indicating that fact is set.

  After the power failure determination process in step Sp2, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the power failure flag is set (Sp3), and when the power failure flag is set, the power failure process (sub). Move to. In the power interruption process (sub), the sub control unit 91 sets the backup flag used in the activation process (sub) after the backup data is created, or calculates the checksum by calculating the exclusive OR of the backup data. Perform processing such as.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes the command analysis process when the power failure flag is not set (Sp4). In the command analysis process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the command is stored in the command buffer, and if the command is stored in the command buffer, acquires the command from the command buffer. Then, the sub control unit 91 executes processing according to the acquired command.

  In Sp5, the sub control unit 91 executes a payout number counter setting process (Sp5). In the payout number counter setting process, when the payout of medals occurs during the bonus, the sub-control unit 91 executes a process of setting the payout number counter at that time to the payout number counter. The sub-control unit 91 updates the acquired number display and the total acquired number display on the liquid crystal display 51 based on the number of medals set in the payout number counter.

  In Sp6, the sub control unit 91 executes the number display control process (Sp6). In the number display control process, the sub control unit 91 controls various displays on the liquid crystal display 51 during the bonus. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the number of medals that can be acquired in the bonus being controlled (that is, the number of medals that can be acquired by the end of the bonus) and the bonus being controlled. In the display of the number of medals that the player has won, the number of medals that the player has acquired in the predetermined period before the control bonus is started The total acquisition number display in which the number of medals is added is displayed.

  In the total acquisition number display, when the bonus is newly controlled within 100 games from the end of the bonus (so-called continuous change), the number of medals acquired by the player in the previous bonus is newly controlled. The number of medals acquired by the player in the bonus thus displayed is added and displayed. Further, in the total acquisition number display, as long as the bonus is controlled within 100 games, the number of medals acquired by the bonus is cumulatively added and displayed. Therefore, the above-mentioned predetermined period before the control bonus is started is the control period of the previous bonus that was controlled within 100 games that were traced back in the past from the start of the bonus being controlled.

  In this embodiment, two types of bonuses, CB and BB, are provided as bonuses. The display of the total number of acquired coins indicates that the medals won by the player in the previous BB when the BB is newly controlled within a predetermined period (100 games) after the previous BB is finished (so-called continuous change). The number of medals acquired by the player in the newly controlled BB may be added to the number of BBs and displayed, or the CBs are newly controlled within a predetermined period (100 games) after the last CB is finished. In the case of being played (so-called continuous change), the number of medals acquired by the player in the previously controlled CB may be displayed in addition to the number of medals acquired by the player in the previous CB. .. In addition, between CB and BB, when so-called continuous chanting is performed, the total number of medals acquired in these bonuses may be displayed as the total number of acquired coins display.

  Further, for example, the BB ends when 345 or more medals are paid out. Therefore, when the BB is started, the obtainable number of sheets is displayed as 345 sheets. Then, the BB ends in the game in which the display of the number of obtainable images is 0. It should be noted that the display of the number of possible acquisitions starts from 345 when the BB starts, but the BB may end after paying out 345 or more medals. Therefore, the addition of the acquired number display or the total acquired number display may end after the subtraction of the obtainable number display.

  In Sp7, the sub control unit 91 executes a light-off control process (Sp7). In the turn-off control processing, the sub-control unit 91 executes control for turning off the bonus medium lamp 60 that has been turned on during the bonus and the reel backlight 28 that illuminates the reels 2L, 2C, 2R from the back side. The reel backlight 28 is composed of 12 LEDs corresponding to three consecutive symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and each symbol can be independently illuminated. Then, when executing the result notification with the end of the bonus, the sub control unit 91 changes the lighting mode of the during-bonus lamp 60 from the lighting mode of the during-bonus mode to the result notification mode. Then, the reel backlight 28 is turned off, and then the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned off. The bonus medium lamp 60 is controlled to be turned off before the next game of the final game of the bonus can be started. The state that the game can be started is a state in which the operation of the start switch 7 is validated by setting the bet number.

  In Sp8, the sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect execution process (Sp8). In the winning effect execution processing, the sub control unit 91 executes a winning effect according to the type of winning that has occurred during the bonus. The winning effect is executed by lighting or blinking the reel backlight 28. The winning effect includes a first winning effect and a second winning effect. Then, the blinking mode of the reel backlight 28 is different between the first winning effect and the second winning effect. Specifically, the second winning effect flashes more rapidly (flashes) at a faster flashing rate than the first winning effect. The mode of the second winning effect is not limited to this, and may be another mode such as changing the brightness when the reel backlight 28 blinks.

[Payout counter setting process]
Next, the payout number counter setting process executed by the sub control unit 91 in the timer interrupt process (sub) will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the payout number counter setting process.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the payout number counter setting process, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether or not the bonus is in progress based on the command from the main control unit 41 (Sa1). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the bonus is not being performed.

  During the bonus, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the payout of medals has occurred based on the command from the main control unit 41 (Sa2). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the payout of medals has not occurred.

  When the payout of medals occurs, the sub control unit 91 sets the payout number of medals in the payout number counter (Sa3), sets a payout flag that can specify that the medals have been paid out in the RAM 91c, and executes the process. It ends (Sa4).

[About the number display control process]
Next, the number display control process executed by the sub control unit 91 in the timer interrupt process (sub) will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the number display control process.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the number-of-sheets display control process, the sub control unit 91 first determines whether or not the bonus is in progress based on the command from the main control unit 41 (Sb1). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the bonus is not being performed.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the payout flag is set in Sa4 of FIG. 13 during the bonus (Sb2). When the payout flag is set, the sub-control unit 91 performs a number display update control process (see FIG. 15) for updating various displays (acquirable number display, total acquisition number display, acquisition number display) in the bonus. Execute (Sb3).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in Sb2 that the payout flag is not set, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the bet amount has been set (Sb4). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the bet amount is not set. When the number of bets is set, the sub-control unit 91 subtracts two cards corresponding to the number of bets in the bonus from the acquired number display and the total acquired number display (Sb5). At this time, two sheets are subtracted at once. For example, it is subtracted from 345 to 343 without passing 344.

[Regarding display update control processing]
Next, the number display update control process executed by the sub control unit 91 in the number display control process will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the number display update control process.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the number-of-sheets display update control process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether the display update time has elapsed (Sc1). The display update time is the time for updating the obtainable number display, the obtained number display, and the total obtained number display. The display update time is measured by subtracting the time set in the timer. The display update time is the timing of subtracting the obtainable number display in the obtainable number display, the timing of adding the obtainable number display in the obtainable number display, and the total obtained number display in the total obtainable number display after the subtraction of the value is completed. The timing of adding is specified by measuring the display update time. Thus, by updating the display when the display update time elapses while continuing the display for a certain time while measuring the display update time, it is possible to secure the time for displaying the number of sheets indicated by each display. The display can be easily recognized. For example, when the display of the number of obtainable sheets is 0, it can be easily recognized.

  When the display update time has elapsed, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the payout number counter has reached 0 (Sc2). When the payout number counter is not 0, the sub control unit 91 subtracts 1 from the payout number counter (Sc3).

  Then, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the display of the obtainable number of sheets has become 0 (Sc4). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the number of obtainable images is not 0. When the display of the number of obtainable images reaches 0, the sub-control unit 91 adds 1 to the display of the obtained number of images and adds 1 to the total number of obtained images at the same timing (Sc5). The main control unit 41 adds the payout number display (that is, the acquired number display) on the game auxiliary display 12 at the same timing as the addition of the acquired number display.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91, when the obtainable number display is not 0, adds one to the obtained number display, adds one to the total obtained number display at the same timing, and further, at the same timing. The subtraction of the display of the obtainable number of sheets by 1 (Sc6). That is, the sub control unit 91 synchronizes addition and subtraction of various displays. The main control unit 41 adds the payout number display (that is, the acquired number display) on the game auxiliary display 12 at the same timing as the addition of the acquired number display.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in Sc2 that the payout number counter is not 0, the sub control unit 91 clears the payout flag (Sc7). Then, the sub-control unit 91 executes result notification for finally displaying a result image that can specify the result of the game (Sc8).

[Extinguishing control processing]
Next, the extinguishing control process executed by the sub control unit 91 in the timer interrupt process (sub) will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the turn-off control process.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the turn-off control process, the sub control unit 91 first determines whether or not the bonus is being performed based on the command from the main control unit 41 (Sd1). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the bonus is not being performed. During the bonus, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the result notification has been started in Sc4 of FIG. 15 (Sd2). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the execution of the result notification is not started. When starting the result notification, the sub-control unit 91 executes the turning-off control of the in-bonus lamp 60 (Sd3). It should be noted that when the extinguishing control is already being executed, the processes of Sd2 and Sd3 are omitted.

  In Sd4, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not it is the turn-off timing of the reel backlight 28 (Sd4). When it is not the turn-off timing of the reel backlight 28, the sub control unit 91 proceeds to Sd6. The sub-control unit 91 turns off the reel backlight 28 at the timing of turning off the reel backlight 28 (Sd5).

  In Sd6, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not it is the turn-off timing of the bonus lamp 60 (Sd6). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when it is not the time to turn off the bonus lamp 60. When it is time to turn off the bonus medium lamp 60, the sub control unit 91 turns off the bonus medium lamp 60 and ends the process (Sd7).

[About winning performance execution processing]
Next, the winning effect execution process executed by the sub control unit 91 in the timer interrupt process (sub) will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the winning effect execution processing.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the winning effect production processing, the sub control unit 91 first determines whether or not a bonus is being performed based on a command from the main control unit 41 (Se1). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the bonus is not being performed. During the bonus, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a winning combination of 15 coins has been won based on a command from the main control unit 41 (Se2). That is, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not 15 payouts have occurred. When the payout of 15 coins has occurred, the sub-control unit 91 executes the first winning effect and ends the processing (Se3).

  When 15 coins have not been paid out, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a winning combination of 14 coins has been won based on a command from the main control unit 41 (Se4). That is, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not 14 payouts have occurred. The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when 14 payouts have not occurred. When 14 coins have been paid out, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not it is the first prize in the bonus being controlled (Se5). The sub-control unit 91 executes the second winning effect when it is the first winning (Se6). When it is not the first prize, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not it is the final game of the bonus (Se7). The final game of the bonus here is a game in which the bonus ends when 14 payouts are generated. When it is the final game of the bonus, the sub-control unit 91 executes the first winning effect (Se8). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when it is not the final game of the bonus.

  In the present embodiment, the second winning effect is executed when the first payout of 14 coins is generated (Se6), and when the 14 payouts are generated in the game that can be the final game of the bonus, the first prize effect is given. If the game is executed (Se8) and the first payout of 14 coins is not generated and the game is not the final game of the bonus, the winning effect is not executed even if 14 payouts are generated. The first winning effect may be executed when the payout of 14 coins is generated, even when the game is not the final game of the bonus, which is not the case of 14 coins being paid out.

  It should be noted that the configuration is such that when the payout of 14 coins is made once, the number of coins acquired in the bonus is maximized, and when the payout of the first 14 coins is made, the second winning effect is executed. Not only once, but when the payout of 14 coins is the specific time, the number of bonuses to be acquired is maximized, and the second winning effect is executed when the payout of 14 coins of the specific time is generated. It may be configured to do so.

[Example of production]
Next, an example of the effect executed by the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 32.

(Direction when entering the bonus)
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an effect at the time of entering a bonus. As described above, in the present embodiment, the BB is won by deriving 7 sets, and the state is controlled to the bonus state based on the occurrence of the BB winning. As shown in FIG. 18 (A), in the game in which the BB is won and the symbol combination (“7-7-7”) corresponding to the BB can be derived, when the start operation is performed, 7 sets are obtained. A production that encourages out-licensing is performed. For example, the image of "Aim at 777!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the sound of "Aim at 7" is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  Although illustration is omitted, thereafter, when the player performs the first stop operation and the second stop operation at a timing at which the seven symbols can be stopped, the seven symbols are stopped on each of the reel 2L and the reel 2C.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, when the player performs the third stop operation at a timing at which the seven symbols can be stopped, the reel 2R is stopped and the seven symbols are derived. At this time, the player's hand keeps pressing the stop switch 8R. In other words, after the stop switch is pressed by hand, the reel is stopped from rotating and the design is drawn out to the see-through window 3 even in a state where the stop switch is maintained without being released. Further, the speakers 53 and 54 output a "don't" sound that effectively indicates that the reel has stopped. However, the winning determination is not executed unless the reel is stopped and the third stop release is performed and the pressing of the stop switch 8R is released.

  As shown in FIG. 18C, when the third stop release is performed and the pressing of the stop switch 8R is released, the main controller 41 executes the winning determination process, so that the bonus winning occurs. Further, the main control unit 41 executes the game end processing to start the freeze. The freeze control at this time invalidates the bet number setting by the MAXBET switch 6 for starting the next game for a predetermined delay period.

  When a bonus prize is generated, the sub-control unit 91 produces a bonus prize. For example, as shown in FIGS. 18C and 18D, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the image of “BIG BONUS” so as to stop at the center position of the screen while changing from the enlarged state to the reduced state. At the same time, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "pappara" to celebrate the bonus prize. Further, the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned on or blinked, so that the bonus winning is effectively suggested. The winning effect is not limited to the side lamps 27 and the reel backlight 28, and may be lighting or blinking of a lower panel located below the reels. In addition, when the lower panel is normally lit, it may be turned off to perform the winning effect.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (E), an image of the character and "BIG BONUS!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the speaker 53, 54 suggests that a big bonus should be entered. The sound "Bonus" is output.

  In this way, the reel is stopped by performing the third stop operation, the winning determination process is executed by performing the third stop release, and the bonus is won based on the fact that seven combinations of symbols have been derived. At the same time, the state shifts to bonus. Further, when the 7 combinations of symbols are derived, the freeze control is performed to start the freeze, and the bonus winning effect is performed during the freeze.

(Direction when selecting bonus effect)
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining an effect when the bonus effect is selected. In the effect shown in FIG. 18 (E), after suggesting that a big bonus is entered, as shown in FIG. 19 (F), the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is gradually or at once whitened out. The performance is performed. In addition, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "Sheen" in accordance with the whiteout.

  With the whiteout as described above as a border, the screen for the bonus winning effect as shown in FIG. 18E is largely changed to the selection screen for the bonus effect as shown in FIG. 19G. The screen state changes. The freeze ends at the whiteout. That is, after the whiteout, the bet number setting by operating the MAXBET switch 6 becomes effective.

  As shown in FIG. 19G, on the bonus effect selection screen, an image for allowing the player to select an effect in the bonus is displayed. Specifically, an image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to allow the player to select one song from song A, song B, and song C as BGM corresponding to each of the three characters. The player can change the character image displayed in the front row by operating the production switch 56, and each time the player changes the character image displayed in the front row, the music corresponding to the character displayed in the front row is output from the speakers 53 and 54. Is output. As a result, the player can select his or her favorite song while listening to the sounds output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  In the selection of the bonus effect, a stage in which matters relating to the effect during the bonus, such as the appearing character, the background image, the music or the sound effect, and the lighting mode, may be selected may be selected. In addition, when selecting bonus effects, it is possible to select stages with different matters related to notification effects during bonus, such as the mode of notification of winning when rare roles such as cherries and watermelons and the probability of execution of winning notification. May be.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (H), when the player operates the MAXBET switch 6, the music corresponding to the character displayed in the front row at that time is determined as the music in the bonus, and the music is output from the speakers 53 and 54. A "picone" sound is output to indicate that the decision has been made. Here, the speaker 53 and the speaker 54 are divided into channels for sound output, and in the example shown in FIG. 19 (H), the speaker 53 outputs the determined music and the speaker 53 A sound effect “picone” is output from 54. At this time, since the freeze has already ended, the number of bets is also set at the same time by operating the MAXBET switch 6 when the music is decided. Note that the music is not limited to being determined by operating the MAXBET switch 6, but may be determined by other operations such as the start switch 7 and the effect switch 56.

  After the bonus tune is determined in the effect shown in FIG. 19 (H), the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 gradually becomes white or at once becomes whiteout as shown in FIG. 19 (I). Is done. In addition, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "Sheen" in accordance with the whiteout.

  With the whiteout as described above as a boundary, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is largely changed from the bonus effect selection screen shown in FIG. 19 (H) to the bonus effect screen shown in FIG. 19 (J). The state changes. During the bonus, the bonus screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the music selected by the player is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As shown in FIG. 19K, when the start operation is performed, the game in the bonus starts and the reels start to rotate.

  In this way, when the freeze starts at the time of bonus winning and the bonus winning effect is performed during the freeze, the freeze ends with the whiteout as a boundary, and then the effect that allows the player to select the effect state in the bonus is produced. Executed. The player is suggested to control the bonus by an effect that allows the player to select an effect state in such a bonus. When the bonus effect is determined, the game in the bonus is executed based on the determined effect state.

(Specific examples of various displays in BB)
Next, specific examples of various displays in the BB will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 26 are explanatory views of the effects during BB and the flow of various displays.

  As shown in FIG. 20L, when the BB is won, the screen in the BB is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. An effect image is displayed on the screen in BB. In the present embodiment, a moving image background of a moving image is displayed as the effect image. For example, during the bonus, a moving image showing that the character is moving is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the background image of the night. Part of the operating background (in this example, the moon image and the star image) is displayed in the first area 51c, and the remaining part is displayed in the second area 52d. Note that a part of the moving character may be displayed in the first area 51c and the remaining part may be displayed in the second area 52d. As described above, the brightness of the first area 51c is darker than that of the second area 51d. Then, the available number display 61, the total number display 62, and the number display 63 are displayed in the first area 51c. This makes it easier for the player to recognize the obtainable number display 61, the total number-of-gain display 62, and the number-of-acquisition display 63. In addition, the effect of display can be enhanced by not limiting the display of the moving image background to the second area 51d.

  In this example, the BB is won within 100 games after the BB is finished, and the BB is won within 100 games after the BB is finished. That is, an example is shown in which BB has tripled. Therefore, the total acquisition number display 62 is 622, which is the number of medals acquired in the past two BBs. Further, the obtainable number display 61 is 345, and the obtainable number display 63 is 0. In addition, the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned on in the BB medium state by being controlled by the BB.

  As shown in FIG. 20L, it is assumed that the third stop operation is performed in the game, Bell 1 wins, and 15 medals are paid out. At this time, since a winning has occurred, a winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed by lighting or blinking the reel backlight 28.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 20M, the obtainable number display 61 is decremented by 1 to 344. Further, at the same timing, the total acquired number display 62 is increased by 1 to become 623. In addition, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is increased by one to become one. Further, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed by the game auxiliary display device 12 is increased by one to become one.

  In this way, the timing at which the obtainable number display 61 is subtracted for each one is the same as the timing at which the total number acquired display 62 and the obtained number display 63 are added for each one. It is possible to make it easier to understand that one medal has been subtracted after winning the.

  Further, since the timing at which the game auxiliary display 12 is added for each one is the same as the timing at which the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 are added for each one, the game auxiliary display 12 Since the display does not conflict with the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused.

  Further, since the timing at which the total acquired number display 62 is added for each one is the same as the timing at which the total acquired number display 63 is added for each one, both the acquired number and the total acquired number are increased. You can make it easier to understand that you are.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 21N, the obtainable number display 61 is decremented by 1 to 343. Also, at the same timing, the total acquired number display 62 is increased by one to 624. In addition, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is increased by one to become two. Further, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed by the game auxiliary display 12 is increased by one to be two.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 21 (O), the obtainable number display 61 is decremented by 1 to 342. Also, at the same timing, the total acquired number display 62 is increased by one to 625. Also, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is increased by one to three. Also, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed by the game auxiliary display 12 is increased by one to three.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22 (P), the obtainable number display 61 is decremented by 1 to become 341. Further, at the same timing, the total acquired number display 62 is increased by one to 626. Also, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is increased by one to four. Further, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is increased by one to four.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (Q), when the same processing is performed and the subtraction and addition of 15 images in each display are completed, the obtainable number display 61 becomes 330. Further, the total acquired number display 62 becomes 635. Further, the acquired number display 63 becomes 13. Further, the payout number of medals displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 becomes 15.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (R), when the start switch 7 is operated and the game is started after the bet number is set, the two medals used to set the bet number are collectively subtracted from the total acquisition number display 62. It becomes 633 sheets. Further, the bet number of 2 is collectively subtracted from the acquired number display 63 to obtain 11 bets. Further, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R start rotating. Further, the payout number of medals displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is returned to 0.

  In this way, since the number of medals necessary for setting the bet number is collectively subtracted from the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 when the bet number is set and the game is started, the bet number is set. It is possible for the player to easily understand that the required number of medals has been subtracted.

  As shown in FIG. 24A, it is assumed that Bell 1 wins and 15 medals are paid out by performing the third stop operation in the game in which the obtainable number display 61 is one. At this time, the player's hand keeps pressing the stop switch 8R. In other words, after the stop switch is pressed by hand, the reel is stopped from rotating and the design is drawn out to the see-through window 3 even in a state where the stop switch is maintained without being released. However, although the reels stop, the winning determination is not performed unless the third stop release is performed and the pressing of the stop switch 8R is released.

  As shown in FIG. 24B, when the third stop release is performed and the pressing of the stop switch 8R is released, the main control unit 41 executes the winning determination process, and the bell winning occurs. When a bell prize is generated, the sub-control unit 91 produces a bell prize. For example, the image of "15 sheets GET !!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the speaker 54 outputs a winning sound "pyrrolilorin" that suggests a bell winning. Further, the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned on or blinking, which effectively suggests a bell winning. The winning effect is continuously executed until the reel backlight 28 is turned off. The winning effect is not limited to the side lamps 27 and the reel backlight 28, and may be lighting or blinking of a lower panel located below the reels. In addition, when the lower panel is normally lit, it may be turned off to perform the winning effect.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 25C, the obtainable number display 61 is decremented by 1 to 0. At this point, the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 ends. Further, at the same timing, the total acquired number display 62 is incremented by 1 to become 919. In addition, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is incremented by 1 to become 297. Further, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed by the game auxiliary display device 12 is increased by one to become one.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), the total acquired number display 62 is increased by one to become 920. Also, at the same timing, the acquired number display 63 is incremented by 1 to become 298. Further, at the same timing, the payout number of medals displayed by the game auxiliary display 12 is increased by one to be two.

  As shown in FIG. 26E, when the same process is performed and the addition of 15 sheets in the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 is completed, the total acquired number display 62 becomes 933. Further, the acquired number display 63 becomes 311. Further, the payout number of medals displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 becomes 15.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (f), when the addition of 15 cards in the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 is completed, the winning effect and the number notification are ended. After the winning effect is produced, the image of “15 sheets GET !!” on the liquid crystal display 51 disappears, no sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, and the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned off. .. Then, the execution of the result notification is started.

  In this way, the reels are stopped by the third stop operation being performed in the final game of the bonus, the winning determination process is executed by the third stop release, and the symbol combination of the bell alignment is derived. Based on this, a prize is produced by winning the bell 1. In addition, in the winning effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of "15 sheets GET !!", sound output by the speakers 53, 54, lighting or blinking by the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28, and winning effect. After that, all of the image display of "15 sheets GET !!" by the liquid crystal display 51, sound output by the speakers 53, 54, and lighting or blinking by the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are stopped. .. Even when the winning effect is performed by the lower panel, the lower panel does not light or blink. In addition, when the lower panel is normally lit, the lower panel may be lit and returned to the normal state after the winning effect is produced by turning the lamp off.

  As will be described later in detail, as a related image different from the result images 51j and 51k in the result notification finally displayed as an image showing the result of the game, the door image 51b in the door closing effect (FIGS. 27 (i) to 27 (k). )) Is displayed. Then, when the door closing effect is finished and the door image 51b is once displayed as a still image (see FIG. 27 (k)), the spark image 51a (in the spark display as the special image so as to overlap the door image 51b ( FIG. 28 (l)) is displayed. After the spark image 51a is displayed, the result notification is performed and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. When the result notification is started, the extinguishing control of the bonus during lamp 60 is started, and the lighting mode of the bonus during lamp 60 is changed from the bonus during mode (see FIG. 26 (f)) to the result notification mode (see FIG. 27 (g)). Change. In addition, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 outputs the stop operation time SE that is a sound related to the display of the related image before the result notification is performed. Therefore, since the sound related to the display of the related image is output before the result notification is performed, it is possible to prevent the output of the sound from interfering with the result notification.

(Direction of result notification during freeze)
27 and 28 are diagrams for explaining the effect when the result is informed during the freeze. In the effect shown in FIGS. 24 (b) to 26 (e), Bell 1 winning is suggested, and as shown in FIG. 26 (f), Bell 1 winning is finished, and then, as shown in FIG. 27 (g). The freeze is started by the process at the end of the game being executed by the main control unit 41. The freeze control at this time invalidates the bet number setting by the MAXBET switch 6 for starting the next game for a predetermined delay period. The freeze may be started when the third stop release is performed.

  During the freeze, a result notification for notifying the result of the game during the bonus is performed. When the result notification is started, a result start notification indicating the start of the result notification is performed. In the result start notification, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "pyrone" that suggests the start of the result notification, and the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are lit or blinking to notify the result notification. Suggested start. Further, when the result notification is started, the extinction control of the bonus during lamp 60 is started, and the lighting mode of the bonus during lamp 60 is switched to the lighting mode for the result notification.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (h), after the result start notification is given, no sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, and the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned off.

  After the result start notification is finished as shown in FIG. 27 (h), as shown in FIG. 27 (i), a door closing effect is displayed in which a door image 51b is displayed as a related image performed before the result notification. .. In the door closing effect, a pair of door images 51b are moved toward the center of the screen from both ends (left end and right end) of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 to display an animation moving image that closes the door. At this time, the effect image during the bonus is displayed on the back side of the door image 51b, but the effect image during the bonus disappears from the player's view when the door is closed. Further, the brightness and the like (brightness or brightness) of the door image 51b is lower than the brightness and the like of other images different from the door image 51b. For example, the lightness of the door image 51b is lower than the lightness of the result images 51j and 51k described later. By setting the brightness and the like of the door image 51b lower than the brightness and the like of the result images 51j and 51k, the result images 51j and 51k displayed on the front surface of the door image 51b can be made conspicuous.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (i), when the door closing effect starts, an animation moving image such that the door image 51b starts to move from both ends on the front side of the effect image in the bonus is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the speakers 53, 54. Outputs a "go-on" sound that makes the door close.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (j), in the middle of the door closing effect, an animation moving image such that the door image 51b further approaches the center of the screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 51, and the doors are closed from the speakers 53 and 54. A "gogogo" sound is output.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (k), at the end of the door closing effect, the door image 51b is completely closed at the center of the screen, and the effect image in the bonus displayed on the back side completely disappears from the field of view. Such an animation moving image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the speaker 53, 54 outputs the sound of "Gashan" that the door is closed. As a result, a still image with the door closed is displayed for a predetermined period.

  After the door closing effect is finished, as shown in FIG. 28 (l), the spark image 51a in the spark display is displayed as the special image. Specifically, after the door is completely closed by the movement of the door image 51b, a spark image 51a showing a spark is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 on the front side of the door image 51b in the central portion of the screen. The brightness and the like (brightness or brightness) of the spark image 51a are higher than the brightness and the like of other images different from the spark image 51a. For example, the brightness of the spark image 51a is higher than the brightness of the effect image during the bonus and the brightness of the door image 51b. By making the brightness of the spark image 51a higher than that of the door image 51b, the spark image 51a displayed on the front side of the door image 51b can be made conspicuous. Further, when the spark image 51a is displayed, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a "boning" sound like a spark. Further, the side lamp 27 is lit or blinks in a result notification mode (for example, color or lighting interval). Note that the special image is not limited to the spark image 51a, and may be in another form such as a flash or a character.

  After the spark display is finished, the result notification is started as shown in FIG. The result notification is performed using the area where the spark image 51a was displayed, and the result images 51j and 51k showing the result of the game during the bonus are displayed in the area. In the present embodiment, the number of coins (the total number of medals paid out) acquired during the bonus is displayed in the result image 51j. Further, in the result image 51k, the total number of coins acquired during the bonus is displayed. Further, when the result images 51j and 51k are displayed, the speakers 53 and 54 output a beeping sound such that the result images 51j and 51k appear. The side lamp 27 keeps lighting or blinking in a result notification mode (for example, color or lighting interval). The spark image 51a, which is a special image, has a higher brightness than the result images 51j and 51k (that is, the spark image 51a is brighter than the result images 51j and 51k).

  Thus, after displaying the spark image 51a, which is a special image different from the result images 51j, 51k, in the predetermined area, the result images 51j, 51k are displayed in the predetermined area, so that the result images 51j, 51k showing the result of the game are displayed. Since the display can be made conspicuous, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k. Therefore, the result images 51j and 51k can be effectively displayed. In this example, the spark image 51a has a higher brightness than the result images 51j and 51k. Therefore, attention can be paid to the spark image 51a, and since the result images 51j and 51k are also displayed in the area where the spark image 51a is displayed, as a result, attention is paid to the result images 51j and 51k. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (n), first, in the result images 51j and 51k, the first digit (in this example, the number "1" in the result image 51j and the number "3" in the result image 51k) is displayed. It With the display of the first digit, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "pin". The side lamp 27 keeps lighting or blinking in a result notification mode (for example, color or lighting interval).

  As shown in FIG. 28 (o), the second digit (in this example, the number "1" in the result image 51j and the number "3" in the result image 51k) is then displayed in the result images 51j and 51k. To be done. With the display of the second digit, the sound of "pin" is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The side lamp 27 keeps lighting or blinking in a result notification mode (for example, color or lighting interval).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 28 (p), the third digit (in this example, the number "3" in the result image 51j and the number "9" in the result image 51k) is displayed in the result images 51j and 51k. To be done. With the display of the third digit, the sound of "pin" is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The side lamp 27 keeps lighting or blinking in a result notification mode (for example, color or lighting interval).

  By displaying the third digit in the result images 51j and 51k, the player is informed that the final result is 311 and the total acquired number is 933.

  After the final result is displayed in the result images 51j and 51k, as shown in FIG. 28 (q), a caution display is performed to call the game to the player. When the attention display is performed, the attention image 51e is displayed above the result images 51j and 51k. In the alert image 51e, the characters "Let's be careful not to get caught" and the characters "Pachi-slot is a moderately enjoyable game." By performing such an alert display, the player can be prevented from playing excessive games. Further, the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned off while the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. The bonus lamp 60 is turned off before the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is validated.

  In this way, the freeze is started after the notification of the bell winning is performed in the final game of the bonus, and the result notification is performed during the freeze. Further, after the result notification is given, a warning display is given.

  As described above, when the BB ends by paying out 345 or more medals, the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is terminated, and then the addition of the total number-of-acquisition display 62 and the number-of-acquisition display 63 is terminated, After that, since the result notification is executed, the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 can be added after the subtraction of the acquired number display 61 is completed, and the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display It is possible to make the addition of 63 easy to understand, and it is possible to focus attention on the total acquisition number display 62 and the acquisition number display 63, so that the display mode until the result notification is executed can be focused. ..

  In addition, since the extinction control of the bonus medium lamp 60 is started while the result notification is being executed, and the bonus medium lamp 60 is extinguished by the time the start operation of the game next to the final game of BB is validated. The lamp 60 can indicate the end of BB.

  Further, since the door image 51b is displayed as a related image different from the result images 51j and 51k, and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed when a predetermined period has elapsed after the door image 51b is displayed, the result image showing the result of the game. Since the display of 51j and 51k can be made conspicuous, attention can be paid to the resulting images 51j and 51k. Therefore, the result images 51j and 51k can be effectively displayed.

  Further, since the effect that the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned on in the result display mode is executed as an effect related to the display of the door image 51b after the door image 51b is displayed, a result image 51j, 51k. Since the effect related to the display of the door image 51b is executed before the display of, the execution of this effect can prevent the display of the result images 51j and 51k from being obstructed.

  Further, since the door closing effect is displayed in which the door image 51b is displayed as a moving image as the related image, and then the door image 51b is displayed as the still background image as the related image, the door image 51b is displayed as the still background image as the related image. Since the result images 51j and 51k are displayed during the display, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

  In the present embodiment, the display mode of the screen in BB is changed after the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is finished, but the result images 51j and 51k are displayed after the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is finished. It is also possible to keep the display of the obtainable number display 61 without changing the display until the display. In this case, it is possible for the player to easily understand that the number of medals that the player has acquired during BB has reached the number of medals that can be acquired.

  Further, as the result images 51j and 51k, it is possible to display a plurality of result images stepwise. For example, it is possible to display a result image 51k showing the total number of acquired sheets and a result image 51j showing the number of acquired sheets. In this case, the player can draw attention to each of the plurality of result images.

  Further, it is possible to display the related image with a lightness lower than that of the image different from the related image. For example, it is possible to display a still background image with lower brightness than a moving image in the door closing effect. In this case, since the brightness of the related image becomes low, the result images 51j and 51k can be made conspicuous. Therefore, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

  Further, in the above-described example, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), the winning effect is finished and the reel backlight 28 is turned off when the notification of the number of pieces is finished, but the reel backlight 28 is turned off. The backlight 28 may be lit. Furthermore, when the result notification is executed, the form of the winning effect may be changed. At this time, the winning effect is executed such that the blinking of the reel backlight 28 becomes brighter. The winning effect is continuously executed until the reel backlight 28 is turned off.

  Further, the reel backlight 28 is turned off after the result notification is executed (for example, the reel backlight 28 is turned off while the result images 51j and 51k are displayed), and the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned off after the reel backlight 28 is turned off. Alternatively, in this case, it is possible to gradually indicate that the BB ends by turning off the reel backlight 28 and the bonus medium lamp 60 in this order.

  Further, the turning-off control of the during-bonus lamp 60 is a control for turning on the during-bonus lamp 60 in a result notification manner different from the lighting manner during BB, and thereafter turning off the during-bonus lamp 60, and therefore, a different lighting manner. It can be suggested that the during-bonus lamp 60 is turned off. That is, it can be gradually suggested that the BB ends.

(Production when selecting RT production)
FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining an effect when the RT effect is selected. Here, RT (replay time) is a state in which the winning probability of the re-game combination in the internal lottery is higher than in non-RT (for example, normal state), and in RT state, replay is performed more frequently than in non-RT state. Since the game is executed, the player can easily proceed with the game without consuming his or her own medal. In the present embodiment, after the bonus is over, the state is controlled to the RT state for a predetermined period (for example, 30 games), and the player can select the effect in the RT state. it can.

  After the alert display is performed in the effect shown in FIG. 28 (q), as shown in FIG. 29 (r), the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 gradually becomes white or at one time becomes white, and a white-out effect is produced. Done. In addition, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "Sheen" in accordance with the whiteout.

  With the whiteout as described above as a boundary, the liquid crystal is largely changed from the screen for result notification and the screen for alerting as shown in FIG. 28 (q) to the selection screen for RT effect as shown in FIG. 29 (s). The screen state of the display 51 changes. The freeze ends at the whiteout. That is, after the whiteout, the bet number setting by operating the MAXBET switch 6 becomes effective. Further, the display of the number “15” on the game auxiliary display device 12 indicating that 15 medals have been paid out in the final game of the bonus disappears.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (s), on the RT effect selection screen, an image for allowing the player to select an effect during RT is displayed. Specifically, an image for allowing the player to select one of the stages A, B, and C as the stage corresponding to each of the three characters is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The player can change the character image displayed in the front row by operating the production switch 56, and each time the player changes the character image on the stage corresponding to the character displayed in the front row, the speaker 53, It is output from 54. This allows the player to select his / her favorite stage while listening to the sounds output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  A plurality of stages provided in the RT have different RT-related items. For example, the plurality of stages have different matters related to the effect during RT such as the appearing character, the background image, the music and the sound effect, and the lighting mode. In addition, for example, in multiple stages, the manner of winning notification when winning rare roles such as cherry and watermelon and the probability that the winning notification is executed, and the manner of winning notification when the bonus winning is executed and the probability that the winning notification is executed, etc. , The matters relating to the notification performance during RT are different. In addition, for example, in the case of multiple stages, when an advantageous section is added due to internal lottery, the addition probability is likely to change in the up-down mode, and the addition probability is stable in the stable mode. Items relating to payout may be different.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (t), when the player operates the MAXBET switch 6, the stage corresponding to the character displayed in the front row at that time is determined as the stage in RT, and the stage from the speakers 53, 54 is changed. A "picone" sound is output to indicate that the decision has been made. Here, the speaker 53 and the speaker 54 are divided into sound output channels, and in the example shown in FIG. 29 (t), the speaker 53 outputs the music corresponding to the determined stage. On the other hand, the speaker 54 outputs a sound effect “picone”. At this time, since the freeze has already ended, the number of bets is set at the same time by operating the MAXBET switch 6 when the stage is determined. The stage is not limited to being determined by operating the MAXBET switch 6, but may be determined by other operations such as the start switch 7 and the effect switch 56.

  After the stage in RT is determined in the effect shown in FIG. 29 (t), as shown in FIG. 29 (u), the entire screen of the liquid crystal display 51 gradually becomes white or at once becomes whiteout effect. Is done. In addition, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "Sheen" in accordance with the whiteout.

  With the whiteout described above as a boundary, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is largely changed from the RT effect selection screen as shown in FIG. 29 (t) to the RT effect screen as shown in FIG. 29 (v). The state changes. During the RT, the screen during the RT corresponding to the selected stage is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the music corresponding to the stage selected by the player is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (w), when the start operation is performed, the game in RT starts and the reels start rotating.

  In this way, when the freeze is started after the notification of the bell winning is performed in the final game of the bonus, and the result notification is performed during the freeze, the freeze ends at the whiteout, and then the RT An effect that causes the player to select an effect state is executed. It is suggested that the state is controlled to RT after the bonus is ended by the effect of allowing the player to select such RT effect. When the RT effect is determined, the game in RT is executed based on the determined effect state.

(Prize winning production)
The winning effect executed during BB will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 32. 30 to 32 are diagrams showing an example of a winning effect. The winning effect is executed by blinking the reel backlight 28. The winning effect includes a first winning effect and a second winning effect. Then, the blinking mode of the reel backlight 28 is different between the first winning effect and the second winning effect. Specifically, the second winning effect flashes more rapidly (flashes) at a faster flashing rate than the first winning effect.

  As shown in FIG. 30A, when the bell 1 wins (15 payouts) during the bonus (CB, BB), the first winning effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 30B, when the technical intervention combination wins the bonus (14 payouts) during the bonus, when the bonus of the technical intervention combination is the first time in the bonus being controlled, the second winning effect is executed. To do. Note that, in the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the maximum number of coins is obtained when the number of winnings of the technical intervention combination is one, and the second winning effect is executed when the first winning of the technical intervention combination is performed. When the maximum number of winnings is obtained when the number of winnings of the technical intervention is plural, the second winning performance is executed every time the winnings of the technical intervention are equal to the plurality of winnings. It is possible to

  As shown in FIG. 31 (a), in the case of a game in which the technical intervention player has won the prize once (14 payouts) in the past game during the bonus, and the game can be the final game of the bonus due to the occurrence of the prize, When the technical intervention combination wins the prize (14 payouts), the first winning effect is executed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 31B, the result notification is executed after the first winning effect is executed, and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. Although illustration is omitted, the same processing as that of FIGS. 26F to 28P is performed after the winning of the technical intervention role and before the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. Also in this example, the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is completed first, and the total obtained number display 62 and the obtained number display 63 are added while the obtainable number display 61 remains 0, and the addition is completed. After that, the result notification is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), when only Bell 1 wins (15 payouts) and the number of obtainable coins reaches 15 during the bonus, when Bell 1 wins (15 payouts) 1 Execute the winning effect. At this time, as shown in FIG. 32B, the result notification is executed after the first winning effect is executed, and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. Although illustration is omitted, processing similar to that of FIG. 26 (f) to FIG. 28 (p) is performed from the winning of the bell 1 to the display of the result images 51j and 51k.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, for example, BB ends with the payout of 345 sheets or more. Since a maximum of 15 payouts can be made in one game, a plurality of games are played in BB. Since Bell 1 pays out 15 coins, if only Bell 1 wins in BB, when Bell 1 wins 23 times, the payout number becomes 345 and BB ends. In this case, the number of medals to be acquired in BB is the minimum. On the other hand, since the technical intervention part pays out 14 coins, Bell 1 wins 22 times and the technical intervention part wins once (at this point, 344 coins are paid out). The number of medals acquired in the BB becomes the maximum number, as the number becomes 344 (+15). Further, if the technical intervention part is won more than once, the payout number exceeds 345, but does not reach the maximum number of 359.

  After setting the obtainable number and the payout number in this way, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30A, when the winning of Bell 1 occurs in BB, the first winning effect is executed. .. Further, as shown in FIG. 30B, when the first winning of the technical intervention combination occurs during BB, the second winning effect is executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 31, a game in which the technical intervention player has won the prize once (14 payouts) in the past games in the BB, and can be the final game of the BB due to the occurrence of the prize (this embodiment). Then, in the game in which the payout number becomes 344 and the obtainable number becomes one), when the technical intervention combination wins, the first winning effect is executed. In other words, the first winning effect is executed when the BB ends at 358 without reaching the maximum number of 359 by winning the technical intervention combination. In this way, by executing the winning effect, it is possible to prevent the player's mistake that could not be technically intervened so as to obtain the maximum number of medals in the final game of BB.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when Bell 1 wins in a situation in which the technical intervention hand has never won in the game that can be the final game of BB (that is, the number of acquired cards ends at 345 in minimum). At the time), the flow of executing the first winning effect and then executing the result notification. Therefore, even if the technical intervention for obtaining the maximum number of medals is not performed, the player's mistake in which the technical intervention cannot be performed in the final game of BB by executing the common first winning effect in the final game of BB. Can be prevented from standing out.

[Processing timing chart]
A timing chart of the processing of the main controller 41 and the processing of the sub controller 91 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 33 is a timing chart of processing by the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91.

  At timing t1, when the third stop operation is performed and the stop switch is pressed in the final game of the bonus, the main control unit 41 stops the reel based on the detected third stop operation.

  At the timing t2, when the third stop release is performed and the pressing of the stop switch is released, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a winning has occurred by performing a winning determination process. When a winning occurs, the main control unit 41 pays out the number of medals corresponding to the winning and sends a winning determination command capable of specifying the type of the winning to the sub-control unit 91. On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 receives the winning determination command at the timing t3, the sub control unit 91 performs the winning effect.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 has a timer that measures time. At timing t3, the sub control unit 91 starts measuring the predetermined period T. Here, the predetermined period T means a period from the start timing (timing t3) of the predetermined period T until the result images 51j and 51k are displayed by the result notification. In the present embodiment, the predetermined period T is also a period during which a related image (moving image and still image of the door image 51b in the door closing effect) and a special image (spark image 51a in the spark display) are displayed (FIG. 27 (i. ) To FIG. 27 (k) and FIG. 28 (l)). Note that at timing t3, the sub control unit 91 outputs the stop operation time SE that is a sound related to the display of the related image. Therefore, since the sound related to the display of the related image is output before the display of the result images 51j and 51k, it is possible to prevent the output of this sound from hindering the display of the result images 51j and 51k. ..

  In this way, the sub-control unit 91 measures the lapse of the predetermined period T by the timer after receiving the winning determination command, and displays the result images 51j and 51k when the lapse of the predetermined period T is measured by the timer. Therefore, since the sub-control unit 91 measures the elapse of the predetermined period, it is possible to easily manage the display timing of the result images 51j and 51k.

  Further, the main control unit 41 performs the game end process after the winning determination process, thereby performing the freeze control and transmitting a freeze command to the effect that the freeze control is performed to the sub control unit 91. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 controls the liquid crystal display 51, the speakers 53, 54, and the like based on the freeze command in accordance with the execution time of the freeze control executed on the main control unit 41 side to execute the effect for the freeze. To do.

  For example, the sub control unit 91 executes the door closing effect shown in FIGS. 27 (i) to (k) from the timing t4 to the timing t5. Next, the sub-control unit 91 performs the spark display shown in FIG. 28 (l) from the timing t5 to the timing t6. Next, the sub control unit 91 performs the result notification shown in FIGS. 28 (m) to (p) from the timing t6 to the timing t7. Then, the sub control unit 91 performs the alert display shown in FIG. 28 (q) from the timing t7 to the timing t8 after the result notification. After that, the sub-control unit 91 displays the RT effect selection screens shown in FIGS. 29 (s) and 29 (t) on the liquid crystal display 51 from timing t8 to timing t9. The door closing effect, the spark display effect, and the result notification are executed by the sub-control unit 91 over a predetermined time.

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

(1-1) A plurality of variable display portions (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that 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),
A predetermination means for determining a display result that permits derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control portion 41),
A plurality of derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive a display result on each of the plurality of variable display sections;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result (for example, processing for performing reel control by the main controller 41),
State control means for controlling to any of a plurality of types of states (for example, a process for controlling the game state by the main controller 41),
And a production means for executing the production (for example, a process for executing the production by the sub-control unit 91),
Of the display result combinations, the awarding display result combination (for example, the symbol combination of the small combination) accompanied by the awarding of the game value (for example, a medal) is accompanied by the awarding of the game amount of the first amount (for example, 14 cards) A first combination of display result (for example, a combination of symbols of technical intervention) and a second combination of display result for second (for example, cherry, watermelon, bell 1) accompanied by a second amount (for example, 15 cards) of gaming value. , The design combination of Bell 2) and
The plurality of types of states include a normal state, and a first special state (e.g., CB) and a second special state (e.g., BB) that have a higher probability that the derivation of the additional display result combination is allowed than in the normal state. And include
The derivation control means, among the plurality of derivation operation means, when the specific variable display portion (for example, the left reel 2L) of the plurality of variable display portions is variably displayed in the first special state. The specific derivation operation means (for example, the left stop switch 8L) corresponding to the specific variable display portion is operated at the first timing (for example, the timing at which the cherry symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN as shown in FIG. 5). Sometimes, the specific display operation combination has a higher probability than the case where the specific derivation operation means is operated at the second timing (for example, the timing at which the watermelon symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN as shown in FIG. 5) with a higher probability. For example, a display result that constitutes a symbol combination of cherry and a technical intervention is derived (for example, an example of reel control shown in FIGS. 6 and 7),
In the first special state, the production means is a timing at which the specific derivation operation means can draw the first timing (for example, the eighth or ninth of the first timings shown in FIG. 5 onto the pay line LN). ), It is possible to execute a specific effect (for example, an effect that suggests a set value as shown in FIG. 10D1), while the specific derivation operation means causes the second timing (for example, As shown in FIG. 5, when the watermelon symbol is operated at a time when it can be drawn onto the pay line LN), the specific effect cannot be executed (for example, an example of the specific effect in CB shown in FIG. 10).
The derivation control means, when the specific variable display portion is variably displayed in the second special state, and when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the first timing, the first combination of addition display result (for example, , A symbol combination of a technical intervention part) is derived, and when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the second timing, the second assigned display result combination (for example, a symbol combination of Bell 1) is configured. The display result is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in CB, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing at which the cherry symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN, the watermelon symbol is applied to the pay line. It is easier to generate a prize than when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing when the player can draw onto the LN. Further, while the specific effect can be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, the specific effect cannot be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing. Therefore, it is possible to urge the player to operate the left stop switch 8L at the first timing. Further, during the BB, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, 14 medals can be paid out by winning the technical intervention role, while the left stop switch 8L is at the second timing. When operated, Bell 1 can be won and 15 medals can be paid out. As described above, since the operation of the left stop switch 8L at the first timing that facilitates the generation of winning during CB can be used as the operation for adjusting the number of sheets during BB, the left stop switch 8L at the first timing can be used. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation of a plurality of types of bonuses. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved by concentrating the player on the game.

(1-2) A plurality of variable display portions (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that 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),
A predetermination means for determining a display result that permits derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control portion 41),
A plurality of derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive a display result on each of the plurality of variable display sections;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result (for example, processing for performing reel control by the main controller 41),
State control means for controlling to any of a plurality of types of states (for example, a process for controlling the game state by the main controller 41),
Production means for executing the production (for example, a process for executing the production by the sub-control unit 91),
An information display unit for displaying information (for example, a process of controlling display on the liquid crystal display 51 by the sub-control unit 91),
The plurality of types of states are a normal state and a first special state that is a special state (for example, a bonus) in which there is a higher probability that the derivation of the addition display result combination accompanied by the addition of the gaming value is higher than that in the normal state. (Eg, CB) and a second special state (eg, BB),
The derivation control means, among the plurality of derivation operation means, when the specific variable display portion (for example, the left reel 2L) of the plurality of variable display portions is variably displayed in the first special state. The specific derivation operation means (for example, the left stop switch 8L) corresponding to the specific variable display portion is operated at the first timing (for example, the timing at which the cherry symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN as shown in FIG. 5). Sometimes, the specific display operation combination has a higher probability than the case where the specific derivation operation means is operated at the second timing (for example, the timing at which the watermelon symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN as shown in FIG. 5) with a higher probability. For example, a display result that constitutes a symbol combination of cherry and a technical intervention is derived (for example, an example of reel control shown in FIGS. 6 and 7),
In the first special state, the production means is a timing at which the specific derivation operation means can draw the first timing (for example, the eighth or ninth of the first timings shown in FIG. 5 onto the pay line LN). ), It is possible to execute a specific effect (for example, an effect that suggests a set value as shown in FIG. 10D1), while the specific derivation operation means causes the second timing (for example, As shown in FIG. 5, when the watermelon symbol is operated at a time when it can be drawn onto the pay line LN), the specific effect cannot be executed (for example, an example of the specific effect in CB shown in FIG. 10).
The ending condition of the special state includes that a specific amount of game value is given in the special state (for example, CB ends with 150 or more payouts, BB ends with 345 or more payouts) ,
The information display means,
An obtainable amount of the game value that can be obtained in the special state (for example, an obtainable number display 61),
An amount of game value acquired in the special state (for example, an acquired number display 63),
A result image (for example, result images 51j, 51k) that can specify the result of the game in the special state can be displayed in the information display area (for example, the display area of the liquid crystal display 51) (for example, FIG. 28 ( Display example shown in q)),
When a predetermined amount of gaming value is given in the special state, the display of the obtainable amount is subtracted for each unit, and the display of the obtained amount is added for each unit (for example, FIGS. 20 to 23). An example of updating the number of sheets shown in
When the special state is ended by giving a predetermined amount of gaming value, the addition of the display of the acquired amount is ended after the subtraction of the display of the acquired amount is ended, and the addition of the display of the acquired amount is ended. The result image is displayed after the end (for example, an example of a case where a bell is won in the final game in the bonus shown in FIGS. 24 to 26, and a result notification during the freeze shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 performed thereafter. One case).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in CB, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing at which the cherry symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN, the watermelon symbol is applied to the pay line. It is easier to generate a prize than when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing when the player can draw onto the LN. Further, while the specific effect can be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, the specific effect cannot be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing. Therefore, it is possible to urge the player to operate the left stop switch 8L at the first timing. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved by concentrating the player on the game. Further, as shown in FIGS. 24 to 28, when the BB is completed by paying out 345 or more medals, the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is finished and the addition of the obtained number display 63 is finished. Since the result notification is executed thereafter, it is possible to add the acquired number display 63 after the subtraction of the acquired number display 61 is completed, and the addition of the acquired number display 63 can be made easy to understand. .. Further, since it is possible to pay attention to the acquired number display 63, it is possible to pay attention to the display mode until the result notification is executed.

  In (1-2) described above, the "rendering means" includes a display means (for example, liquid crystal display 51) for displaying an image, a sound output means (for example, speakers 53, 54) for outputting a sound, and a light. It may be any of the light output means that turns on or blinks (for example, the side lamp 27, the reel backlight 28). Here, when the "production means" is a display means for displaying an image (for example, the liquid crystal display 51), the "production means" may be the same display means as the "information display means". That is, the "production means" may be replaced with the "information display means". The "rendering means" may be a display means different from the "information display means".

(1-3) In the slot machine of (1-1) or (1-2) above,
The derivation control means,
In the case where the plurality of derivation operation means are operated in a first order (eg, forward push) in the first special state (for example, CB), when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the first timing, This is more advantageous to the player than when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the second timing (for example, when the forward push is performed during CB as shown in FIG. 6, the left stop switch is activated at the first timing). When the 8L is operated, the cherry is always won, whereas when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, the prize may be missed.)
In the case where the plurality of derivation operation means are operated in the second order (eg, reverse push) in the second special state (eg, BB), when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the first timing. A display result (for example, a cherry symbol) that constitutes the first combination display result combination (for example, a symbol combination of a technical intervention combination) is derived.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the CB is normally pressed, the cherry is always won when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, whereas the left stop switch is at the second timing. When 8L is operated, winning may be missed. When the button is pressed backward during BB, the cherry symbol that constitutes the symbol combination of the technical intervention combination is derived when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing. As described above, the operation timing (first timing) of the left stop switch 8L that does not cause a disadvantage during CB is the same as the operation timing (first timing) of the left stop switch 8L for winning the technical intervention hand during BB. However, the pushing order can be different between both bonuses. As a result, the game is not monotonous and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-4) In the slot machine of (1-3) above,
In the case where the plurality of derivation operation means are operated in the second order (for example, reverse push) in the first special state (for example, CB), the derivation control means sets the specific derivation operation means for the first When operated at a timing, a display result (for example, a cherry symbol) that constitutes the first combination display result combination (for example, a symbol combination of a technical intervention) is derived.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the button is reversely pressed during CB, a cherry symbol that constitutes a symbol combination of the technical intervention combination is derived when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing. .. In this way, during CB, when the player presses forward, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, the player is not disadvantaged because the player always wins the cherry tree. When the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing, the technical intervention part can be won for adjusting the number of pieces, so that the operation sequence in which the player is not disadvantaged and the operation sequence for winning the technical intervention part can be separated. it can. As a result, the game is not monotonous and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-5) In the slot machine of (1-4) above,
The control period of the first special state is shorter than the control period of the second special state (for example, CB ends with payout of 150 or more sheets, whereas BB ends with payout of 345 sheets or more). ,
In the first special state, the derivation of the first addition display result combination is permitted for each game by the pre-determination means (for example, during CB, a small win including a technical intervention wins each game).
In the second special state, the derivation of the first assignment display result combination is not permitted for each game by the pre-determination means, and only when the lottery is won, the first provision display result combination of the first assignment display result combination is obtained. Derivation is allowed (for example, the symbol combination of the technical intervention role can be derived only when the technical intervention role is won in the internal lottery during BB).

  Specifically, while the control period of the CB is shorter than the control period of the BB, the small wins including the technical intervention role win each game during the CB, so that each game, the technical intervention role can be won. On the other hand, during the BB, since the technical intervention role can be won only when the technical intervention role is won, in the sense that the game can be challenged for the winning of the technical intervention role in each game, the game is higher than that in the BB. It is advantageous to the person. As described above, during the CB, the player can challenge each game for the winning of the technical intervention combination, so that the CB that finishes earlier than the BB is not more disadvantageous than the BB as much as possible.

(1-6) In the slot machine according to any one of (1-1) to (1-5) above,
The production means is
By executing a specific image by displaying a specific image (for example, an image of a shooting star shown in FIG. 10D1) in the display area,
When executing the specific effect, a background image (for example, an image showing outer space shown in FIG. 10B1) displayed in the display area is changed to a white image (for example, whiteout shown in FIG. 10C1). Image), the white image is switched to the specific image.

  Specifically, in CB, an image showing outer space is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 10 (B1), and then, as shown in FIG. 10 (C1), the liquid crystal display is temporarily displayed. A white out effect is performed on the display screen of 51, and no image is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 10 (D1), a specific effect is executed and a shooting star is flowing. The image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this way, when the image of the specific effect is displayed, the whiteout image is displayed once, so that the player can be made to pay attention to the image of the specific effect.

(1-7) In the slot machine according to any one of (1-1) to (1-6) above,
The production means is
When the first special state or the second special state ends, a result image suggesting the result of the game in the first special state or the second special state (for example, result images 51j, 51k shown in FIG. 28). In the display area,
When a prize is generated in a game (for example, a final game in a bonus) in which the first special state or the second special state ends, a prize notification for notifying the occurrence of the prize (for example, shown in FIGS. 24 to 26. After the winning notification is completed, the result image is displayed in the display area (for example, after the winning presentation is completed as shown in FIG. 26, the result is displayed as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28). Notification will be made).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 28, when the winning effect is generated due to the occurrence of the bell prize in the final game of the bonus, the result notification is performed after the winning effect. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the winning effect and the result notification from being mixed. Therefore, the player can be effectively focused on each of the winning effect and the result notification.

(2-1) A variable display section (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that can be identified,
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,
A winning effect means (for example, a process of performing a winning effect by the sub-control unit 91) for performing a winning effect (for example, the winning effect shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 26) for notifying the occurrence of winning.
A result display unit (for example, a process of performing a result notification by the sub-control unit 91) for displaying a result image (for example, the result images 51j and 51k shown in FIG. 28) showing a result of the game in a specific state (for example, a big bonus). ,
State transition means for transitioning the state from the specific state to a special state (for example, RT state) after the end of the specific state (for example, processing for controlling the state by the main controller 41),
And a delay control unit (for example, a process for performing freeze control by the main control unit 41) for performing delay control (for example, freeze control) for delaying the progress of the game,
When the winning effect is performed in a game in which the specific state ends (for example, the final game in the bonus), the delay control is performed after the winning effect ends (for example, the winning effect shown in FIGS. 24 to 26. 27. After that, freeze starts as shown in FIG. 27 (g), and the result image is displayed during execution of the delay control (for example, as shown in FIGS. 28 (m) to 28 (q)). The result notification is given during the freeze), and the transition to the special state is suggested after the end of the delay control (for example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (s) and (t), the selection of the RT effect after the freeze is finished. (See FIG. 33).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 29, when the winning effect is generated due to the occurrence of the bell prize in the final game of the bonus, the freeze is executed after the winning effect and the result is obtained during the freeze. Notification is given. After the freeze ends, the player selects an effect in the RT state controlled after the end of the bonus. As a result, it is possible to prevent the winning effect and the result notification from being mixed, and it is possible to show the player a smooth effect to the RT controlled after the bonus ends. Therefore, it is possible to effectively display the result images 51j and 51k showing the result of the game.

(2-2) The slot machine 1 displays a caution image (e.g., a caution image 51e shown in FIG. 28 (q)) that calls a player's attention to the game. Processing for displaying a warning by the control unit 41),
When the winning effect is performed in a game in which the specific state ends (for example, the final game in the bonus), the delay control is performed after the winning effect ends (for example, the winning effect shown in FIGS. 24 to 26. 27 (g), the freeze starts, and during execution of the delay control, the attention image is displayed together with the result image (for example, FIGS. 28 (m) to 28 (q). ), The result notification is given during the freeze, and the caution display is given), and a transition to the special state is suggested after the end of the delay control (for example, FIG. 27 (s), (t)). ), The RT effect is selected after the freeze ends (see FIG. 33).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28 (q), the result notification is given during the freeze, and the alert display is also given. As a result, by performing the caution display at a suitable timing during the freeze, it is possible to effectively suppress an excessive game for the player.

  (2-3) The result image is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, FIGS. 27, 28 and 33) after a related image (for example, the door image 51b shown in FIGS. 27 and 28) different from the result image is displayed. As shown in (4), it is displayed when the door closing effect is being executed (a period from t4 to t5).

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, after the result start notification, the door image 51b is first displayed, and the door closing effect is performed such that the door image 51b is closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 33, after the door closing effect is executed for a predetermined period (the period of timings t4 to t5 shown in FIG. 33), result images 51j and 51k are displayed via the spark display. In this way, since the result images 51j and 51k are displayed when the predetermined period has elapsed even after the bonus ends, the display of the result images 51j and 51k can be made conspicuous. Therefore, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k. Note that the predetermined period is the period in which the door closing effect is executed in the example of FIG. 27, but as a modification, the predetermined period is, for example, the period in which the door closing effect is executed and the spark image 51a. It may be a combined period with the displayed period.

(2-4) The slot machine 1 is provided with a notifying means (for example, the game auxiliary display 12) capable of notifying information (for example, the number of payouts),
The notification of the information about the game performed by the notification means based on the winning generated in the game in which the specific state ends is finished after a predetermined period has elapsed since the result image was displayed (for example, shown in FIG. 28 (m)). After the display of the result images 51j and 51k is started and the display of the result images 51j and 51k is ended by whiteout as shown in FIG. 29 (r), the display of the payout number on the game auxiliary display 12 is ended. To).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), when 15 coins are paid out in the final game during the bonus, a number indicating that 15 medals have been paid out on the game auxiliary display unit 12. “15” is displayed on the 7-segment display. Thereafter, while the winning effect, the result notification, and the alert display are displayed, the number “15” is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, but the freeze ends after the whiteout shown in FIG. 29 (r). When shifting to the selection of the RT effect, the display of the number "15" on the game auxiliary display 12 disappears as shown in FIG. 29 (s). This allows the player to be effectively instructed to switch from the bonus state to the RT state by the change in the payout display on the game auxiliary display 12.

(2-5) A suggestion that the state shifts to the special state is a selection effect that causes the player to select the effect state in the special state (for example, an effect that causes the RT effect shown in FIG. 29 (s) to be selected). Included,
According to the selection effect, the effect state in the special state is determined before the state shifts to the special state (for example, before the RT screen shown in FIG. 29 (v) is displayed, The RT effect is confirmed as shown).

  Specifically, the RT screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 29 (v), and then, as shown in FIG. 29 (w), before the game at RT is started by the start operation, as shown in FIG. 29 (t). Thus, the RT effect is determined by the player's selection. As a result, the effect in RT can be decided without digesting the game in the RT state.

  (2-6) When the winning effect is performed in a game in which the specific state ends (for example, a final game in bonus), the delay control is performed after the winning effect ends (for example, FIG. 24 to FIG. After the winning effect shown in FIG. 26 is performed, the freezing starts as shown in FIG. 27 (g), and the caution image is displayed together with the result image during execution of the delay control (for example, FIG. 28 (m)). As shown in FIG. 28 (q), the result notification is given during the freeze, and the reminder display is performed), and the display of the reminder image is terminated by the termination of the delay control (for example, FIG. 29). As shown in (r), the warning display ends at the whiteout), and a transition to the special state is suggested after the end of the delay control (for example, shown in FIGS. 29 (r) to (t)). So Selection of RT effect after the freeze completion is performed referring. Figure 33).

  Specifically, after the alert display is displayed as shown in FIG. 28 (q), a whiteout is performed as shown in FIG. 29 (r), and the freeze ends at the boundary of the whiteout and the caution is issued. The alert display ends. As a result, the warning display can be ended at a suitable timing when the freeze ends.

(2-7) The state shifts to the specific state when a specific display result (for example, 7 combinations of symbol combinations) is derived (for example, 7 combinations of symbol combinations are derived as shown in FIG. 18). Will result in a bonus prize),
When the specific display result is derived, the delay control is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 18C, 7 combinations of symbols are derived and the freeze is started when the third stop and release is performed. ), It is suggested that the state shifts to the specific state during the execution of the delay control (for example, the bonus winning effect is performed during the freeze as shown in FIGS. 18C to 18E). After the end of the delay control, an effect that causes the player to select the effect state in the specific state is executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 19G, the bonus effect is selected after the freeze ends).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18 (C), when the 7 combinations of symbols are derived and the third stop release is performed, the freeze is started by the game end process, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 19E, a bonus winning effect is given during the freeze, and then the freeze ends after the whiteout as shown in FIG. 19F, and after the freeze as shown in FIG. 19G. A bonus effect is selected. As a result, the effect in the bonus can be determined without exhausting the game in the bonus state.

  (3-1) In the result images 51j and 51k, after the special image (for example, the spark image 51a) different from the result image is displayed in the predetermined region (for example, the central portion of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51), the predetermined image is displayed. Displayed in the area (for example, as shown in FIGS. 28 (l) to (q), after the spark image 51a is displayed in the center part of the screen, the resulting images 51j, 51k are displayed in the same center part of the screen. ). The “special image” may be any image as long as it is an image that makes the display of the result images 51j and 51k in the result notification noticeable. Unlike the character image, the special image may be an effect image or a decoration image that complements the image (result images 51j and 51k in the present embodiment) that is desired to stand out. Further, when the images to be highlighted (result images 51j and 51k) are decorated with a plurality of types of colors, it is preferable that the color of the above-described special image is a single color so as to further enhance the image to be highlighted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 28 (l) to 28 (q), spark display is performed before the result notification is performed. In the spark display, the spark image 51a is displayed in the center portion of the screen, and then in the result notification, the result images 51j and 51k are displayed in the same center portion of the screen. Thereby, the display of the result images 51j and 51k showing the result of the game can be made conspicuous, and the player's attention can be focused on the result images 51j and 51k. Therefore, the result images 51j and 51k can be effectively displayed.

  (3-2) From the start of the display of the door image 51b to the elapse of a predetermined period (in the present embodiment, at the timing when the display of the door image 51b is started), the winning effect is performed. Therefore, since the winning effect is performed before the result images 51j and 51k are displayed, it is possible to prevent the attention of the player from being displayed on the result images 51j and 51k.

  (3-3) Also, the liquid crystal display is an effect related to the third stop operation that triggers the display of the door image 51b from the start of the display of the door image 51b to the lapse of a predetermined period. The winning effect using the side lamp 27 which is a means other than 51 is executed. Therefore, since the winning effect using the side lamp 27 is performed before the result images 51j and 51k are displayed, it is possible to prevent the attention of the player from being displayed on the result images 51j and 51k.

  (3-4) The image in which the door image 51b is completely closed becomes the background image in the result notification. The door image 51b is displayed with a lightness lower than that of an image (for example, the result images 51j, 51k) different from the door image 51b. Therefore, since the brightness of the background image in the result notification is low, the result images 51j and 51k can be made conspicuous. Therefore, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

  (3-5) Result images 51j and 51k are displayed when an image in which the door image 51b does not move due to the closing of the door image 51b ending (that is, a background image of the door image 51b) is displayed. Therefore, since the display of the result images 51j and 51k is not hindered by the movement of the door image 51b, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

  (3-6) A means for controlling the progress of the game, which includes a main control section 41 for transmitting a command and a sub control section 91 for controlling the effect based on the command. The sub control unit 91 can control the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, after the freeze command is received in the final game of the bonus (timing t4 in FIG. 33), the elapse of a predetermined period is measured. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the result images 51j and 51k after the elapse of a predetermined period is measured (timing t5 in FIG. 33). In this way, the sub-control unit 91 that controls the liquid crystal display 51 measures the elapse of a predetermined period, so that it is possible to easily manage the display timing of the result images 51j and 51k.

  (3-7) The sub control unit 91 is an effect related to the display of the result images 51j and 51k, and turns on the side lamp 27 during the result notification. Further, the sub control unit 91 turns on the side lamp 27 after turning on the side lamp 27 for a period from when the door image 51b is closed to when the result image is displayed. Therefore, since the side lamp 27 is turned off after the result notification is completed, the control load on the side lamp 27 is reduced.

  (3-8) The spark image 51a is displayed so as to have a higher brightness than an image (for example, the door image 51b) different from the spark image 51a. Therefore, it is possible to draw attention to the spark image 51a and also to draw attention to the result images 51j and 51k displayed in the central portion of the screen where the spark image 51a is displayed.

  (3-9) Perform control in which the result images 51j and 51k are sequentially displayed in order from the first digit (displayed in order from the smallest digit) (first digit → second digit → third digit) Display the numbers in the order). Therefore, it is possible to make the player feel as if a numerical value with a large number of digits is displayed.

(4-1) A plurality of variable display portions (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that 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),
A predetermination means for determining a display result that permits derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control portion 41),
A plurality of derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive a display result corresponding to each of the plurality of variable display portions,
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving a display result in accordance with the determination result of the pre-determination means and the operation of the derivation operation means (for example, a process of performing reel control by the main control unit 41),
State control means for controlling any of a plurality of types of game states (for example, a process for controlling the game state by the main controller 41),
And a production means capable of executing the specific production (for example, a process of executing the specific production by the sub-control unit 91),
The determination result of the aforesaid pre-determination means includes an assignment determination result (for example, a lottery result permitting the derivation of a small winning combination) that allows the derivation of the assignment display result combination accompanied by the addition of the gaming value.
The plurality of types of gaming states include a normal state and a special state (for example, CB) in which the determination result of the pre-determining means has a higher probability of being the grant determination result than the normal state,
The derivation control means, in the special state, when the plurality of variable display portions including the specific variable display portion (for example, the left reel 2L) are variably displayed, the specific variable display of the plurality of derivation operation means. When the specific derivation operation means (for example, the left stop switch 8L) corresponding to the part is operated at the first timing (for example, the timing at which the cherry symbol can be drawn onto the pay line LN as shown in FIG. 5), the specific derivation operation means is operated. The control for deriving the first display result (for example, the cherry symbol) is performed on the variable display portion, and the specific derivation operation means can draw the watermelon symbol on the pay line LN at the second timing (for example, as shown in FIG. 5). Control at which the second display result (for example, a watermelon pattern) is derived on the specific variable display section when operated.
When the specific derivation operation means is operated and a display result is derived on the specific variable display section in a state where a plurality of variable display sections including the specific variable display section are variably displayed in the special state (for example, When the left reel 2L is stopped for the first time) and the display result derived to the specific variable display section is the first display result, the display result derived to the specific variable display section is the second display result. 6 is more likely to be derived than in the case of the above (for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when operated at the first timing, when the derivation of “cherry” is confirmed, the winning of the cherry is confirmed. On the other hand, it is not possible to derive the display result combination in which a win occurs when the stop switches 8C and 8R are operated when operated at the second timing).
In the special state, the production means can execute the specific production when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the first timing, while when the specific derivation operation means is operated at the second timing. The specific effect is not executed (for example, the specific effect is not executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, while the specific effect is executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated in the first iming). ..

  Specifically, when the player first stops the left reel 2L during CB, the player operates the left stop switch 8L at the first timing when a symbol other than the 19th symbol on the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage. Compared with the case where the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing when the 19th "watermelon" of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, the player who has operated the left stop switch 8L at the first timing receives a prize. Easy to do. In addition, although the example in which the left reel 2L is stopped for the first time has been described as an example, among the first timings, particularly the timing at which the “cherry” can be pulled in, when the derivation of the “cherry” is confirmed, Since the winning is confirmed, even if the left reel 2L is stopped for the second time, thereafter, the display result combination in which the winning is generated is derived regardless of the timing of operating the stop switch.

  Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, the specific effect may be executed, while when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, the specific effect is not executed. .. Therefore, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the stop switch is operated at the first timing when the possibility of winning is high. In addition, by executing the specific effect, it is possible to prompt the operation at the first timing in which it is easy to derive the display result combination that causes the winning.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the specific effect is an effect that suggests a set value, but it is sufficient that the operation at the first timing can be prompted, and the specific value may not be suggested. Further, in the present embodiment, in the first timing, the left stop switch 8L is turned on at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol provided at a position away from the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage. It is assumed that the specific effect is executed only when it is operated. However, the specific effect may be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 10th symbol passes through the middle row. Further, the specific effect may be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols of Nos. 1, 2 or 13, 14 are passed through the middle row.

(4-2) In the slot machine of (4-1) above,
Based on the operation of a predetermined setting operation means, a setting value setting means for selecting and setting any one of a plurality of types of setting values (for example, 1 to 6) having different degrees of advantage for the player (For example, a main control unit 41) is further provided,
The specific effect is an effect that suggests which of the plurality of types of setting values the setting value set by the setting value setting means (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the setting value is When 1 or 2, the probability that the specific effect of the first aspect is executed is highest, and when the set value is 3 to 5, the probability that the specific effect of the second aspect is executed is highest, and the set value is 6. The highest probability is that the specific effect of the third aspect is executed).

  Specifically, the specific effect is an effect that suggests which of a plurality of set values the set value that is set is. Since the player can predict whether the slot machine in the game has a high or low advantage by executing the specific effect, it is possible to more prompt the operation at the first timing when the specific effect is executed. it can.

(4-3) In the slot machine of (4-1) or (4-2) above,
The effecting means, regardless of whether or not the derivation operation means corresponding to a variable display section other than the specific variable display section is operated, the operation timing of the derivation operation means corresponding to the specific variable display section is the It is possible to execute the specific effect when operated at the first timing (for example, when operated in the order of the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, the left stop switch 8L, the 8th or 9th symbol) When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the vehicle passes the middle stage, the specific effect may be executed).

  Specifically, the sub control unit 91 can execute the specific effect regardless of the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. Therefore, the operation at the first timing can be prompted regardless of the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated.

(4-4) In the slot machine according to any one of (4-1) to (4-3) above,
Each of the plurality of variable display units variably displays a plurality of identification information in a predetermined arrangement order (the reel 2 is rotated by a reel motor, so that the symbols arranged on the reel 2 are continuously displayed on the see-through window 3). Displayed while changing)
At the first timing, the specific first identification information (for example, the 8th or 9th symbol of the left reel 2L) among the plurality of identification information variably displayed on the specific variable display portion is at a specific position (for example, The timing of passing through the middle stage) and the non-specific first identification information (for example, the 1st and 2nd symbols or the 13th of the left reel 2L, among the plurality of identification information variably displayed on the specific variable display section) No. 14) includes the timing of passing the specific position,
The second timing is the timing at which the second identification information (for example, the 18th and 19th symbols of the left reel 2L) of the plurality of identification information variably displayed on the specific variable display portion passes through the specific position. And
In the special state, when the operation timing of the derivation operation means corresponding to the specific variable display portion is a timing at which the specific first identification information passes through the specific position, the effect means executes the specific effect. (For example, the specific effect is executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol passes through the middle row), the operation timing is the non-specific first identification information indicating the specific position. When it is time to pass, the specific effect is not executed (for example, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols of No. 1, 2, or 13 and 14 pass through the middle stage, the specific effect is performed). Do not run),
The specific first identification information is arranged at a position distant from the second identification information as compared to the non-specific first identification information (for example, symbols 8 and 9 of the left reel 2L are both 19 The numbers 1 and 2 on the left reel 2L are 3 and 4 frames from the symbol 19 on the left reel 2L, while the symbols 13 and 14 on the left reel 2L are the numbers 19 and 10 frames away from the symbol No. Only 5 or 6 frames away from the design).

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91, in the first timing, the left stop switch at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol provided at a position away from the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L has passed the middle stage. A specific effect is executed when 8L is operated. On the other hand, in the sub-control unit 91, in the first timing, the left stop switch 8L is at the timing when the symbols 1 and 2 close to the symbol 19 of the left reel 2L or the symbols 13 and 14 pass through the middle stage. When operated, the specific effect is not executed.

  Here, in the first timing, even when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol of the left reel 2L passes through the middle row, the result is that the cherry of the left reel 2L is 19 No. 1 or No. 2, or No. 13 or No. 14 symbols that are close to the number of symbols, the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols of No. 13 and No. 14 pass through the middle row, and as a result, the cherry tree is won. The payout of 15 medals occurs. Also, there is no difference in the likelihood of winning, regardless of which timing the operation is performed.

  However, the 1st and 2nd symbols and the 13th and 14th symbols of the left reel 2L are closer to the 19th symbol than the 8th or 9th symbol. Specifically, the symbols No. 8 and No. 9 on the left reel 2L are separated from the symbol No. 19 by 10 frames or more. On the other hand, the symbols 1 and 2 on the left reel 2L are separated from the symbol 19 by only 3 and 4 frames. The symbols 13 and 14 on the left reel 2L are separated from the symbol 19 by only 5 and 6 frames.

  Therefore, the time from the 13th and 14th symbols passing through the middle stage to the 19th symbol passing through the middle stage, or the 1st and 2nd symbols after the 19th symbol passes through the middle stage The time to pass the middle tier is shorter than the time from the passage of the 8th or 9th symbol to the middle tier to the passage of the 19th symbol to the middle tier. As a result, when trying to operate at the timing when the 1st and 2nd symbols or the 13th and 14th symbols pass, the 8th or 9th symbol tries to operate at the timing when the middle stage passes. However, it is more likely that the left stop switch 8L will be operated at the timing when the 19th symbol has passed the middle row.

  In this way, the specific effect is executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing at which the possibility that the left stop switch 8L is accidentally operated at a timing when the 19th symbol has passed the middle row is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to urge the player to operate at a timing when it is unlikely to operate the left stop switch 8L at the timing when the 19th symbol passes the middle row.

(4-5) In the slot machine according to any one of (4-1) to (4-4) above,
In a case where the specific derivation operation means is operated and the first display result is derived in the specific variable display section in a state where a plurality of variable display sections including the specific variable display section are variably displayed in the special state, Regardless of the operation of the derivation operation means (for example, the stop switches 8C and 8R) corresponding to the variable display portion during the variable display, a prize is generated (for example, as a stop result of the left reel 2L, " If "cherry" is derived, it will be awarded to cherry),
In a case where the specific derivation operation means is operated and the second display result is derived in the specific variable display section in a state where a plurality of variable display sections including the specific variable display section are variably displayed in the special state, No prize is generated by the operation of the derivation operation means (for example, the stop switches 8C and 8R) corresponding to the variable display portion during the variable display (for example, when the watermelon symbol cannot be drawn in the middle reel 2C or the right reel 2R). "Watermelon" is not derived in the middle row, and the derivation of the loss is confirmed).

  Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, the display result combination in which a winning occurs cannot be derived by the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, it is possible to derive the display result combination in which a winning occurs regardless of the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R. As a result, winning is more likely to occur when operated at the first timing than when operated at the second timing.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the operation is performed at the second timing, the winning can be generated depending on the operation timing. As a result, even if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing, it is possible to prevent the player from being harmed.

  It should be noted that the method for facilitating winning is not limited to this. For example, the timing of deriving the display result in which no winning is generated can be made smaller when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing than when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing. Winning may be made easier to occur. In addition, when comparing the first winning combination that can be won when operated at the first timing and the second winning combination that can be won when operated at the second timing, rotation is performed after operating at the first timing. Of the symbols arranged on the reels, the symbols forming the first winning combination may be made more easily than the symbols forming the second winning combination, so that the winning may be easily generated.

(4-6) In the slot machine of (4-2) above,
The derivation control unit performs control to cause the variable display unit to derive a display result within a pull-in range of a predetermined maximum number of frames in which the identification information is a unit frame when the derivation operation unit is operated (for example, You can pull in the design within the range of 1 or 4 frames),
The first timing is a first specific timing (for example, the number 9 of the left reel 2L, which is the number of frames drawn when the first display result is derived, is less than 1 (for example, the number of sliding frames is 0). And the first non-specific timing in which the number of frames drawn when the first display result is derived is 1 or more and the maximum number of frames or less (for example, the number of sliding frames is 1) (For example, the timing when the number 8 symbol on the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage),
The precision of the set value suggested in the specific effect executed when the derivation operation means is operated at the first specific timing is as follows when the derivation operation means is operated at the first non-specific timing. It is higher than the accuracy of the set value suggested in the specific effect to be executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the deviation of the execution probability is one when the number of sub-frames is 0. Is larger than when the number of sub frames is 1.)

  Specifically, among the timings when the 8th or 9th symbol passes through the middle row, the set value suggestion accuracy is higher when the number of sliding frames is 0 than when the number of sliding frames is 1. .. For example, whether or not the stop switch 8 can be operated aiming at the timing when a specific symbol passes through a predetermined position depends on the skill of the player. For example, a player with a high skill level can operate the stop switch 8 aiming at the timing at which the number of sliding frames becomes 0, while a player with a low skill level operates the stop switch 8 at the timing at which the number of sliding frame becomes 0. Can not do it.

  The same display result is derived both when the number of sliding frames becomes 0 and when the number of sliding frames becomes 1, so that a player with a low skill is the timing when he / she operates the number of sliding frames is 0. I don't know when it will happen or when the number of sub-frames becomes 1. On the other hand, a player with a high skill level can specify whether the timing at which the player has operated is when the number of sliding frames becomes 0 or when the number of sliding frames becomes 1.

  Therefore, for the executed specific effect, the player with a high skill level can know whether it is a specific effect with a high precision of suggesting the set value or a low specific effect value, but the player with a low skill level cannot know. Therefore, the interest of the game of the player with a high skill level can be enhanced more than that of the player with a low skill level.

(4-7) In the slot machine according to any one of (4-1) to (4-6) above,
The derivation control means, in the special state,
When the plurality of derivation operation means are operated in a first order (for example, forward push), a first award display result combination accompanied by giving a game value (for example, medal) of a first value (for example, 15) (For example, a combination of symbols accompanied by a prize of cherry or watermelon) and a non-winning display result combination in which no winning occurs (for example, a losing result), a control for deriving a display result combination is performed,
When the plurality of derivation operation means are operated in the second order (for example, reverse push), the first combination of the assigned display result (for example, a symbol combination accompanied by winning of Bell 2) and the second value (for example, 14). A second display result combination (for example, a symbol combination accompanied by a winning of a technical intervention) and a non-winning display result combination are derived. Take control.

  Specifically, in CB, when the operation is performed by pressing the button normally, any one of the display result combination in which 15 payouts are generated and the display result combination in which any winning is not generated (miss result) The combination is derived. On the other hand, when the reverse operation is performed, among the display result combination in which 15 coins are paid out, the display result combination in which 14 coins are paid out, and the display result combination in which any winning is not generated (miss result) Any display result combination is derived.

  Depending on the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, there is a possibility of winning one of a plurality of small winning combinations with different payout numbers, and there is a possibility of winning only a small winning combination with one payout number. There are cases. Therefore, by changing the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the situation in the CB, it is possible to selectively derive the number of small wins to be acquired, thereby improving the enjoyment of the game in the CB. be able to.

(5-1) A display result is provided by including a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which is identifiable, and variably displaying the variable display unit and then stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. In a gaming machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a prize can be generated according to the display result,
A specific state control means (for example, main control section 41) for controlling to a specific state (for example, BB),
A specific state ending means (for example, a main control unit 41) for ending the specific state when a game value (for example, medal) of a specific amount (for example, 345) is given,
Display means for displaying information (for example, a liquid crystal display 51),
The display means is
An amount of game value that can be acquired in a specific state (for example, an available number display 61),
With the amount of game value acquired in the specific state (for example, the acquired number display 63),
A total acquisition amount (for example, total acquisition number display 62) obtained by adding the acquisition amount of the gaming value acquired in the specific state to the acquisition amount of the gaming value acquired in the predetermined period before the specific state,
It is possible to display the result image that can specify the result of the game in the specific state when the specific state ends,
The display means further displays the total acquisition amount larger than the acquisition amount,
The display means is
When a predetermined amount of gaming value is given in the specific state, the display of the obtainable amount is subtracted for each unit (for example, the portion shown in FIGS. 20 to 23),
When a predetermined amount of gaming value is given in the specific state, the display of the acquired amount is added for each unit (for example, the portion shown in FIGS. 20 to 23),
When a predetermined amount of gaming value is given in the specific state, the display of the total acquisition amount is added for each unit (for example, the portion shown in FIGS. 20 to 23),
The display means, when the specific state ends by giving a predetermined amount of gaming value, ends addition of the display of the acquired amount and the total acquired amount after ending the subtraction of the display of the obtainable amount, The result image is displayed after the addition of the display of the acquired amount and the total acquired amount is completed (for example, FIGS. 24 to 28).

  According to this configuration, since the addition of the display of the acquisition amount and the total acquisition amount is performed after the subtraction of the display of the acquisition amount is completed, the addition of the display of the acquisition amount and the total acquisition amount can be made easy to understand. Further, since it is possible to focus on the acquired amount and the total acquired amount, it is possible to focus on the display mode until the result notification is executed.

  (5-2) After the subtraction of the obtainable number display 61 is completed, the display of the obtainable number display 61 is not changed and the display is maintained until the result images 51j and 51k are displayed. Therefore, it is possible for the player to easily understand that the number of medals acquired by the player during BB has reached the number of medals that can be acquired.

  (5-3) The display area of the effect image is divided into a first area 51c and a second area 51d. The brightness of the first area 51c is darker than that of the second area 51d. Then, the obtainable number display 61, the total number acquisition display 62, and the number acquisition display 63 are displayed in the first area 51c with dark brightness. Therefore, the player can easily recognize the available number display 61, the total number display 62, and the total number display 63.

  (5-4) The number of medals necessary for setting the bet number when the bet number is set and the game is started is collectively subtracted from the displays of the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 (this example). Then, the part shown in FIG. 23). Therefore, the player can easily understand that the required number of medals has been subtracted for the bet number.

  (5-5) The timing at which the obtainable number display 61 is subtracted for each one is the same as the timing at which the total number-of-acquisition display 62 and the obtained number-of-displays 63 are added for each one (in this example, 20 to 22). Therefore, it is possible to easily understand that one medal has been acquired and one medal has been subtracted.

  (5-6) The timing when the game auxiliary display 12 is added for each one is the same as the timing when the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 are added for each one (in this example, 20 to 22). Therefore, the display on the game auxiliary display 12 does not conflict with the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63, so that the player can be prevented from being confused.

  (5-7) The timing at which the total acquired number display 62 is added for each one and the timing at which the acquired number display 63 is added for each one are the same (in this example, refer to FIGS. Part shown). Therefore, it is possible to easily understand that both the acquired number and the total acquired number are increasing.

  (5-8) The control of turning off the bonus medium lamp 60 is started while the result notification is being executed, and the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned off by the time the start operation of the game next to the final game of BB is validated ( In this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 27 and 28). Therefore, the bonus lamp 60 can indicate the end of BB.

  (5-9) The control of turning off the bonus medium lamp 60 is a control of turning on the bonus medium lamp 60 in a result notification mode different from the lighting mode during BB, and then turning off the bonus medium lamp 60 (in this example, 27 and 28). Therefore, it can be suggested that the bonus medium lamp 60 is turned off by setting different lighting modes. That is, it can be gradually suggested that the BB ends.

  (5-10) When a Bell 1 winning occurs during BB, the first winning effect is executed. In addition, when the first winning of the technical intervention combination occurs during BB, the second winning effect is executed. In addition, in the past games in the BB, the technical intervention player has won the prize once (14 payouts), and the game that can be the final game of the BB due to the occurrence of the prize (in this embodiment, the payout number is 344). In the game in which the number of obtainable cards becomes one), the first winning effect is executed when the technical intervention combination wins. (In this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 30 and 31). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's mistake that could not be technically intervened to obtain the maximum number of medals in the final game of BB from being conspicuous.

  (5-11) In the game that can be the final game of BB, when the Bell 1 wins in a situation where the technical intervention role has never won (that is, when the number of acquired cards ends at 345), the first After the winning effect is executed, the result notification is executed (in this example, the part shown in FIG. 31). Therefore, even if the technical intervention for obtaining the maximum number of medals is not performed, the player's mistake in which the technical intervention cannot be performed in the final game of BB by executing the common first winning effect in the final game of BB. Can be prevented from standing out.

  (5-12) A related image different from the result images 51j and 51k is displayed, and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed when a predetermined period has elapsed since the related images were displayed (in this example, in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28). Part shown). Therefore, since the display of the result images 51j and 51k showing the result of the game can be made conspicuous, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k. Therefore, the result images 51j and 51k can be effectively displayed.

  (5-13) The sound related to the display of the related image is output until a predetermined period elapses after the related image is displayed (in this example, the portion shown in FIG. 33). Therefore, since the sound related to the display of the related image is output before the display of the result images 51j and 51k, it is possible to prevent the output of this sound from hindering the display of the result images 51j and 51k. ..

  (5-14) The effect related to the display of the related image is executed until a predetermined period elapses after the related image is displayed (in this example, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in the result display mode). The part that performs the effect of turning on the bonus lamp). Therefore, since the effect related to the display of the related image is executed before the result image is displayed, it is possible to prevent the display of the result image from being hindered by the execution of the effect.

  (5-15) As a result image, a plurality of result images are displayed in stages. Therefore, the player's attention can be focused on each of the plurality of result images.

  (5-16) The related image is displayed with the brightness lower than the brightness of the image different from the related image. Therefore, since the brightness of the related image is low, the resulting image can be made conspicuous. Therefore, attention can be paid to the result image.

  (5-17) An image in which a predetermined image (door image 51b in this example) moves as a related image is displayed until a predetermined period elapses after the related image is displayed, and the predetermined image does not move as a related image The still image of the door image 51b shown in FIG. 27 (k) is displayed when a predetermined period has elapsed (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 27 and 28). Therefore, since the result image is displayed when the image in which the predetermined image does not move is displayed as the related image, attention can be paid to the result image.

  (5-18) The sub-control unit 91 measures the elapse of the predetermined period T by the timer after receiving the winning determination command that can specify that the condition for displaying the related image is satisfied, and the sub-control unit 91 uses the timer for the predetermined period T. When the progress of is measured, the resulting images 51j and 51k are displayed (in this example, the part shown in FIG. 33). Therefore, since the sub-control unit 91 measures the elapse of a predetermined period, it is possible to easily manage the display timing of the result image.

  (5-19) This is an effect related to the display of the result images 51j and 51k, and the bonus medium lamp 60 is caused to emit light in the result display mode for a specific period (in this example, the period of FIG. 26 (g) to FIG. 28 (p)). ), The bonus medium lamp 60 is made to emit light, and then the bonus medium lamp 60 is made to emit light in a fixed manner (in the present example, it is turned off as shown in FIG. 28 (q)). Therefore, the light emitting mode of the bonus medium lamp 60 that causes the bonus medium lamp 60 to emit light in a result display mode becomes a constant state after being executed for a specific period, so that the control load of the bonus medium lamp 60 is reduced. It

  (5-20) After displaying the special image (spark image 51a) different from the result images 51j and 51k in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, the result images 51j and 51k are displayed in the predetermined area (in this example, 28). Therefore, since the display of the result image showing the result of the game can be made conspicuous, attention can be paid to the result image. Therefore, the resulting image can be effectively displayed.

  (5-21) The special image (spark image 51a) has a higher lightness than the result images 51j and 51k (in this example, the portion shown in FIG. 28). Therefore, attention can be paid to the special image, and the result images 51j and 51k are also displayed in the area where the special image is displayed. As a result, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k. it can.

  (5-22) A related image (door image 51b) different from the result images 51j and 51k is displayed, and the result images 51j and 51k are displayed when a predetermined period has elapsed since the related image was displayed (in this example, 27 (i) to FIG. 28 (q)). Therefore, since the display of the result images 51j and 51k can be made conspicuous, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

[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-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

(About special conditions)
In the present embodiment, CB and BB are applied as special states, but RB (regular bonus), which is a type of bonus, and operation modes (operation order, operation timing) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are notified. AT (assist time), RT (replay time) where the winning probability of replay is high, ART (assist replay time) that is AT and RT, CZ (chance zone) where the probability of granting benefits such as AT is higher than usual, etc. Other states may be applied to the special state.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, CB is applied as the first special state and BB is applied as the second special state. However, by selecting and combining any of the above-mentioned states, the first special state and the second special state are combined. It may be applied to two special states.

  In the present embodiment, the ending condition for each of CB and BB is that the payout number in the bonus has reached the predetermined upper limit number. The bonus may be ended when the number of times reaches a predetermined upper limit number or when the number of digesting games in the bonus reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games. Also in this case, the end condition may be set such that the CB control period is shorter than the BB control period. For example, CB may have a predetermined upper limit number and a predetermined upper limit game number smaller than BB.

(About reel control in BB)
When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing in the case of being pressed forward during BB, the symbol combination of the 14-card combination (technical intervention combination) is derived, while the left stop switch 8L is operated at the second timing. When this is done, the symbol combination of the 15-card combination (bell 1) may be derived. Alternatively, in the case of being reversely pressed during BB, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the first timing, the symbol combination of the 14-card combination (technical intervention combination) is derived, while the left stop switch 8L is generated at the second timing. When is operated, the symbol combination of the 15-card combination (bell 1) may be derived.

(About result notification)
In the present embodiment, the result notification is performed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 28, but the result notification may be performed in other effect modes. For example, FIG. 34 and FIG. 35 are diagrams for explaining the effect at the time of the result notification during the freeze regarding the modified example.

  First, the presentation mode shown in FIG. 34 will be described. As shown in FIG. 34, after the door closing effect is finished by the effect shown in FIG. 27 (k), the spark image 51f appears from the edge of the screen as shown in FIG. 34 (l2). When the spark image 51f appears, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a "flickering" sound such that a spark appears.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (m2), the spark image 51f appearing from the edge of the screen moves to the center of the screen. At this time, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "bune" such that a spark moves.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (n2), the spark image 51f moving from the edge of the screen stops at the center of the screen. At this time, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound such as a sparkling sound.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (2), the resulting images 51j and 51k are displayed in the central portion of the screen where the spark image 51f was displayed. As a result, the player is notified of the acquired number and the total acquired number. At this time, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a "don't" sound.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (p2), after the result images 51j and 51k are displayed, a caution display for warning the player about the game is displayed. When the attention display is performed, the attention image 51e is displayed above the result images 51j and 51k. By performing such an alert display, the player can be prevented from playing excessive games.

  In this way, since the spark image 51f moves from the edge of the screen toward the central portion, attention can be paid to the moving spark image 51f, and the result image is displayed in the spark image area in which the spark image 51f is displayed. Since 51j and 51k are also displayed, attention can be paid to the result images 51j and 51k.

  Next, the presentation mode shown in FIG. 35 will be described. As shown in FIG. 35 (13), the first spark image 51g and the second spark image 51h are displayed in the central portion of the screen. At this time, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound such as a sparkling sound.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (m3), a result image 51j indicating the number of acquired images is displayed in the portion where the first spark image 51g was displayed. Further, in the portion where the second spark image 51h was displayed, a result image 51k indicating the total number of acquired images is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (n3), the first digit (the number "1" in this example) is displayed in the result image 51j. Further, in the result image 51k, the first digit (in this example, the number "3") is displayed. With the display of the first digit, the speaker 53, 54 outputs a sound of "pin".

  As shown in FIG. 35 (3), the second digit (in this example, the number “1”) is then displayed in the result image 51j. Furthermore, in the result image 51k, the second digit (in this example, the number "3") is displayed. With the display of the second digit, the sound of "pin" is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (p3), the third digit (in this example, the number "3") is then displayed in the result image 51j. Furthermore, in the result image 51k, the third digit (in this example, the number "9") is displayed. With the display of the third digit, the sound of "pin" is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  By displaying the third digit in the result images 51j and 51k, the player is informed that the final result is 311 and the total acquired number is 933.

  After the final result is displayed on the result image 51j and the result image 51k, as shown in FIG. 35 (q3), a caution display is performed to call the player a caution regarding the game. When the attention display is performed, the attention image 51e is displayed above the result image 51j and the result image 51k. By performing such an alert display, the player can be prevented from playing excessive games.

  As described above, the result image 51j indicating the acquired number is displayed in the portion where the first spark image 51g was displayed, and the result image 51k indicating the total acquired number is displayed in the portion where the second spark image 51h was displayed. Therefore, the display of each result image can be made conspicuous and attention can be paid to the result images.

  In the example of FIG. 35, the first spark image 51g and the second spark image 51h may appear on the screen in order. For example, the second spark image 51h may appear after the first spark image 51g has appeared. Further, the result image 51j and the result image 51k may appear on the screen in order. For example, the result image 51k may appear after the result image 51j appears.

  In this way, since the plurality of result images are displayed in stages, it is possible to attract the attention of the player to each of the plurality of result images.

  In addition, in the result notification shown in FIGS. 28, 34, and 35, when the number of acquired games and the number of consumed games are notified in order from the first digit, for example, as if the reels rotate in a 5-digit area. The numbers may rotate. Then, while the numbers are rotating in the 5-digit region, the number of games acquired and the number of digested games are notified by stopping the numbers in the order of the first digit, the second digit, and the third digit. It may be.

  In this way, since it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the final digit number when displaying the result image, the expectation as to what the final digit digit is like Can be held by someone.

  Also, because the number of digits (for example, 5 digits) that is greater than the final number of digits (for example, 3 digits) fluctuates, a large number of digits is displayed for the final number of digits. It can make the player think of it as if it were.

  In addition, when the first digit is displayed and when the second digit is displayed, the common control is performed such that the remaining digits are changed, which reduces the processing load. be able to.

  In the above example, as the result notified by the result image, the acquired number of bonuses and the number of digested games have been illustrated. However, the result informed by the result image is the result that other players are interested in, such as the number of acquired games and the number of consumed games in the advantageous section, the number of acquired games and the number of consumed games in AT (for example, As long as it is a result, any result may be used.

  In the above example, the result image is described as being one or two images. However, the result image may be three or more images capable of specifying the numerical value updated according to the progress of the game in the advantageous state.

  The result image is not limited to such a numerical value, and may be a result image based on the end of the advantageous state. The result image may be, for example, information that can specify that the advantageous state has ended, for example, a character such as “end”. As described above, the result image is an image displayed in association with the bonus or the end of the AT.

  In the above example, the door closing effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be other effects such as an effect in which a predetermined character is displayed. In any case, these effects are preferably finished by the time the result image is displayed. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player's attention on the display of the result image from being hindered.

  At least one display mode such as an image in a door closing effect, a background image, a result image, and a spark image is used to notify (indicate) the degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue (for example, the AT is restored). Good. For example, if at least one color of the background image, the result image, and the spark image is the first color, there is a high degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue, and at least one color of the background image, the result image, and the spark image will be the first color. If there are two colors, the degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue may be low. With such a configuration, it is possible to attract the player's attention to at least one display mode of the background image, the result image, and the spark image.

  In the above example, it was explained that the 5-digit number fluctuates regardless of the number of digits of the digested game A and the number of acquired sheets displayed as the result image, but only the number of digits corresponding to the number of digested games and the number of acquired sheets. You may make it fluctuate.

(Regarding the advantageous section after the bonus ends)
In the game after the bonus ends, there may be a case where the AT is controlled and a case where the AT is not controlled. Specifically, the advantageous section (CZ or AT) is won by the bonus winning or the rare role winning before the bonus winning, and during the bonus, the advantageous section is controlled and the advantageous section LED 19 is turned on. After the bonus ends, when the advantageous section continues, the advantageous section LED 19 keeps lighting, while when the advantageous section does not continue and shifts to the normal section, the advantageous section LED 19 lights up when the bonus ends. Turn off the light. The slot machine 1 is designed so that even if the advantageous section LED 19 goes out when the bonus ends, the advantageous section LED 19 turns on again within a predetermined number of games even if the advantageous section LED 19 goes out. Good. For example, after the bonus ends, when the push-winning combination (for example, the push-down bell) that wins with a probability of 1 / 1.5 wins in the internal lottery, it shifts to the advantageous zone again and the advantageous zone LED 19 lights up. Good. Alternatively, when the advantageous section continues after the bonus ends, the CZ is controlled after the bonus ends and the CZ is switched to the AT within 10 games, during which the advantageous section LED 19 keeps lighting and the advantageous section does not continue. In this case, the advantageous section LED 19 is temporarily turned off after the bonus ends, but the advantageous section LED 19 may be turned on again by being controlled to the advantageous section (CZ or AT) within 10 games.

  Thus, the slot machine 1 may be configured as follows.

A variable display section (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that can be identified,
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,
A winning effect means (for example, a process of performing a winning effect by the sub-control unit 91) for performing a winning effect (for example, the winning effect shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 26) for notifying the occurrence of winning.
A result display unit (for example, a process of performing a result notification by the sub-control unit 91) for displaying a result image (for example, the result images 51j and 51k shown in FIG. 28) showing a result of the game in a specific state (for example, a big bonus). ,
State transition means for transitioning the state from the specific state to a special state (for example, RT) after the end of the specific state (for example, processing for controlling the state by the main control unit 41),
Delay control means for performing delay control (for example, freeze control) for delaying the progress of the game (for example, processing for performing freeze control by the main controller 41),
A warning display means (for example, a processing for displaying a warning by the main control unit 41) for displaying a warning image (for example, a warning image 51e shown in FIG. 28 (q)) for warning the player about the game. )When,
Informing means (for example, game auxiliary display 12) capable of informing information (for example, payout number),
And a suggestion means (for example, an advantageous zone LED 19) for executing a suggestive effect that suggests that the vehicle is controlled to an advantageous zone (for example, CZ or AT) more advantageous than the normal zone,
When a specific display result (for example, 7 combinations of symbol combinations) is derived, the state shifts to the specific state (for example, as shown in FIG. 18, 7 combinations of symbol combinations are derived to obtain a bonus. Winnings occur),
When the specific display result is derived, the delay control is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 18C, 7 combinations of symbols are derived and the freeze is started when the third stop and release is performed. ), It is suggested that the state shifts to the specific state during the execution of the delay control (for example, the bonus winning effect is performed during the freeze as shown in FIGS. 18C to 18E). After the end of the delay control, an effect for causing the player to select the effect state in the specific state is executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 19G, the bonus effect is selected after the freeze ends),
When the winning effect is performed in a game in which the specific state ends (for example, the final game in the bonus), the delay control is performed after the winning effect ends (for example, the winning effect shown in FIGS. 24 to 26. 27 (g), the freeze starts, and during execution of the delay control, the attention image is displayed together with the result image (for example, FIGS. 28 (m) to 28 (q). ), The result notification is given during the freeze, and the reminder display is performed), and the display of the reminder image ends when the delay control ends (for example, as shown in FIG. 29 (r)). As shown in FIG. 29 (r) to (t), it is suggested that a transition to the special state should be made after the end of the delay control. Selection of RT effect is performed in reference. FIG. 33),
The advantageous section includes the special state (for example, becomes an advantageous section during a bonus),
When the suggestive effect continues to be executed without shifting from the advantageous section to the normal section when the special state ends (for example, when the advantageous section continues and the advantageous section LED 19 continues to light after the bonus ends). And a case where the suggestive effect ends by moving from the advantageous section to the normal section (for example, a case where the advantageous section LED 19 goes out after shifting to the normal section after the bonus ends).
Even when the suggestive effect ends by moving from the advantageous section to the normal section when the special state ends, within a predetermined period (for example, a push order for winning with a probability of 1 / 1.5). Until winning the role, or within 10 games), transition from the normal section to the advantageous section,
The result image is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, as shown in FIGS. 27, 28, and 33) after a related image (for example, the door image 51b shown in FIGS. 27 and 28) different from the result image is displayed. It is displayed when the door closing effect is being executed (time period t4 to t5),
The notification of the information about the game performed by the notification means based on the prize generated in the game in which the specific state ends is ended after a predetermined period has elapsed since the result image was displayed (for example, shown in FIG. 28 (m)). Thus, the display of the result images 51j and 51k is started, and after the display of the result images 51j and 51k is ended by whiteout as shown in FIG. Do),
The suggestion that the state shifts to the special state includes a selection effect for causing the player to select the effect state in the special state (for example, an effect for selecting the RT effect shown in FIG. 29 (s)),
According to the selection effect, the effect state in the special state is determined before the state shifts to the special state (for example, before the RT screen shown in FIG. 29 (v) is displayed, The RT effect is confirmed as shown).

  As a result, even if the advantageous section ends after the bonus ends, the advantageous section is controlled again within the predetermined period, so that it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from decreasing as much as possible.

(About reel control during CB)
Not only the reel arrangement shown in FIG. 2 but also the reel arrangement shown in FIG. 36 may be used to realize the reel control in the CB.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the pay line in the CB, only the pay line LN crossing the middle stages of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R is set, but as shown in FIG. In addition, five pay lines (win line LN1 to win line LN5) may be set. The pay line LN1 is a pay line set across symbols that are stopped in the middle stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the middle stage of the right reel 2R. The pay line LN2 is a pay line set across the symbols stopped on the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R. The pay line LN3 is a pay line set across the symbols stopped on the upper stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the lower stage of the right reel 2R. The pay line LN4 is a pay line set over the symbols stopped on the upper stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R. The pay line LN5 is a pay line set across the symbols stopped at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the lower stage of the right reel 2R.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 38, "cherry-any-any" may be set as the symbol combination of cherry, and "bar-blank-7" may be set as the symbol combination of the technical intervention. Further, a follower, which is a symbol combination of "orange-blank-7", may be provided.

  Based on the modified examples shown in FIGS. 36 to 38, reel control as shown in FIGS. 39 to 41 may be realized. With reference to FIGS. 39 to 41, reel control when the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L are operated in this order will be described.

  FIG. 39 is a diagram illustrating an example of reel control in the CB according to the modification. FIG. 40 and FIG. 41 are diagrams showing an example of the results derived in the CB according to the modified example. In FIG. 39, the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L are operated in this order, and it is assumed that the right reel 2R, the middle reel 2C, and the left reel 2L are stopped in this order.

  In FIG. 39, how many frames are additionally rotated when the stop switch 8 is operated when each symbol of the reel 2 is present in the middle stage of the reel 2 (the number of sliding frames), and the symbol number which is stopped in the middle stage ( Stop position). FIG. 39 (A) is a diagram showing reel control of the middle reel 2C in the state shown in FIGS. 40 (A) and 41 (A) in which the sixth "replay" of the right reel 2R is stopped in the middle stage. is there. FIG. 39 (B-1) is shown in FIG. 40 (B) in which the 6th "replay" of the right reel 2R is stopped in the middle stage and the 10th or 19th "watermelon" of the middle reel 2C is stopped in the middle stage. It is a figure which shows the reel control of the right reel 2R in the opened state. FIG. 39 (B-2) is shown in FIG. 41 (B) in which the 6th "replay" of the right reel 2R is stopped in the middle stage and the 5th or 14th "blank" of the middle reel 2C is stopped in the middle stage. It is a figure which shows the reel control of the right reel 2R in the opened state.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (A) or FIG. 41 (A), in a situation where the No. 6 "replay" of the right reel 2R is stopped in the middle stage, the "watermelon" of the right reel 2R is in the upper stage and the right reel is in the right reel. 2R "7" is stopped at the bottom. Therefore, in the situation shown in FIG. 40 (A) or FIG. 41 (A), there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry, watermelon, technical intervention, and follower, and there is a possibility of winning the bell. There is no. Hereinafter, the reel control when the right reel 2R is stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry, watermelon, technical intervention, and follower will be described.

  First, the reel control of the middle reel 2C when the middle stop switch 8C is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon will be described. When the middle stop switch 8C is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon, the main control unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive the display result corresponding to the watermelon. The display result corresponding to the watermelon is a display result in which the “watermelon” is stopped in the middle row on the winning line. The operation timing corresponding to the watermelon is, among the timings at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated, the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) the "watermelon" to the middle stage when operated. While the main control unit 41 passes the middle reels 6 to 9 or the symbols 15 to 19 (areas indicated by wide diagonal lines in FIG. 39 (A)) on the middle reel 2C, When the middle stop switch 8C is operated, the "watermelon" is pulled to the middle stage. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any timing while the symbols 6-9 of the middle reel 2C or the symbols 15-19 are passing through the middle stage is the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (B), when the right reel 2R's No. 6 "replay" is stopped in the middle row and the middle reel 2C's No. 10 or 19 "Watermelon" is stopped in the middle row, the right reel The 2R "watermelon" is stopped at the upper stage and the middle reel 2C "Watermelon" is stopped at the middle stage. Therefore, in the situation shown in FIG. 40 (B), there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon, and there is no possibility of winning the other winning combination. That is, in the situation shown in FIG. 40 (B), at the stage when the right reel 2R is stopped, there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry, watermelon, technical intervention, and follower. When the reel 2C is stopped, the possibility of winning the technical intervention role and the follower role disappears. The reel control of the left reel 2L in the case where the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon will be described below.

  When the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon, the main control is performed. The unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive a display result corresponding to watermelon. The display result corresponding to the watermelon is a display result in which the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage on the winning line that is set to be valid. The operation timing corresponding to the watermelon is a timing at which reel control for pulling (stopping) the "watermelon" to the upper stage or the lower stage is performed when the left stop switch 8L is operated. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-1), while the main control unit 41 is passing through the middle stage, symbols 4 to 7, 10 to 11, or 17 to 20 of the left reel 2L are passing through. When the left stop switch 8L is operated, the "watermelon" is pulled up or down. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the middle row corresponds to the watermelon at any timing while the symbols 4 to 7, 10 to 11, or 17 to 20 of the left reel 2L are passing through. It is the operation timing to perform.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at any timing while the symbols of Nos. 4 to 7, 10 to 11, or 17 to 20 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle row, the winning line On the LN2 or the pay line LN4, a display result combination in which the symbol combinations forming the watermelon are arranged is derived, and the watermelon is won and 15 medals are paid out. For example, as shown in FIG. 40 (C-1), the left stop switch 8L is at any timing while the symbols of Nos. 4 to 5 or Nos. 17 to 18 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle stage. When is operated, the symbols No. 5 or No. 18 are stopped in the middle tier, and the display result in which the "watermelon" of the left reel 2L is stopped in the upper tier is derived, and the symbol combinations that make up the watermelon are aligned on the pay line LN4. The display result combination is derived, and 15 medals are paid out after winning the watermelon.

  When the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to cherry, the main control The unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive a display result corresponding to cherry. The display result corresponding to cherry is a display result in which "cherry" is stopped in the upper, middle, or lower row on the winning line that is set to be valid. The operation timing corresponding to cherry is the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) "cherry" to the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage when the left stop switch 8L is operated. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-1), while the main control unit 41 passes through the middle stage, the symbols 0 to 3, 8 to 9, or 12 to 15 of the left reel 2L are passing. When the left stop switch 8L is operated, the "cherry" is pulled to the upper stage, the middle stage or the lower stage. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the middle stage corresponds to cherry at any timing while the symbols 0 to 3, 8 to 9, or 12 to 15 of the left reel 2L are passing through. It is the operation timing to perform.

  If the left stop switch 8L is operated at any timing while the symbols 0 through 3 of the left reel 2L, 8 through 9 or 12 through 15 are passing through the middle row, the winning line A display result combination in which the symbol combinations that make up cherry are arranged on any of the winning lines LN1 to LN5 is derived, and 15 medals are paid out after winning the cherry. For example, as shown in FIG. 40 (C-2), the left stop switch 8L at any timing while the symbols of Nos. 2 to 3 or Nos. 14 to 15 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage. When is operated, the symbol No. 3 or No. 15 is stopped in the middle row, and the display result in which the "cherry" of the left reel 2L is stopped in the lower row is derived, and the cherry is formed on the winning line LN2 or the winning line LN5. A display result combination in which the symbol combinations are complete is derived, and 15 medals are paid out after winning the cherry.

  On the other hand, when the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon, the left stop switch 8L is operated at an operation timing that does not correspond to either watermelon or cherry. When operated, the main control unit 41 derives a display result in which no winning of any winning combination occurs. Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 16th symbol of the left reel 2L (the area indicated by the dot in FIG. 39 (B-1)) passes through the middle stage, FIG. As shown in C-3), the 16th symbol stops in the middle stage. As shown in FIG. 40 (C-3), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at an operation timing that does not correspond to either watermelon or cherry, a winning combination is formed on any of the pay lines LN1 to LN5. The combination of symbols is not complete, and neither the payout of medals, the granting of a re-game, nor the granting of the right to shift to another gaming state like a special combination can be obtained.

  When the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry and watermelon, the main control unit 41 draws the maximum display result that can generate the winning. When it is possible to derive within the range (one frame for the left reel 2L), the display result capable of generating a winning is preferentially derived. Further, when it is possible to win any of the roles of cherry and watermelon within the maximum withdrawal range, control for prioritizing the winning of cherry is performed. If there is no difference in the number of payouts, it is not particularly limited which one of the plurality of winning combinations is to be preferentially drawn.

  Next, the reel control of the middle reel 2C when the middle stop switch 8C is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination and the follow combination will be described. In the present embodiment, the display result corresponding to the middle reel 2C of the technical intervention combination and the follower combination is the display result in which the "blank" is stopped in the middle row (see FIG. 38). Therefore, when there is a possibility of winning the technical intervention or follower with the right reel 2R stopped, if the middle stop switch 8C is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention and follower, the main The control unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive display results corresponding to the technical intervention role and the follower role. The operation timings corresponding to the technical intervention role and the follower role are, of the timings at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated, timings at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) the "blank" to the middle stage when operated. While the main controller 41 passes through the middle stage, the symbols 1 to 5 or the symbols 10 to 14 of the middle reel 2C (the region indicated by the narrow diagonal line in FIG. 39A) pass through the middle stage. When the middle stop switch 8C is operated, the "blank" is pulled to the middle stage. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any of the timings while the symbols No. 6 to 9 or the symbols No. 15 to 19 of the middle reel 2C pass through the middle stage correspond to the technical intervention role and the follower role. It is the operation timing.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (B), in a situation in which the 6th "replay" of the right reel 2R is stopped in the middle stage and the 5th or 14th "blank" of the middle reel 2C is stopped in the middle stage, the right reel is "7" of 2R is stopped in the lower stage, and "blank" of the middle reel 2C is stopped in the middle stage. Therefore, in the situation shown in FIG. 41 (B), there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry, technical intervention, and follower, and there is no possibility of winning another winning combination. That is, in the situation shown in FIG. 41 (B), at the stage when the right reel 2R is stopped, there is a possibility of winning one of the roles of cherry, watermelon, technical intervention, and follower, but When the reel 2C is stopped, the possibility of winning the watermelon has disappeared. The reel control of the left reel 2L in the case where the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning a winning combination of cherry, technical intervention, and follower will be described below.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the following combination, the main control unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive the display result corresponding to the following combination. The display result corresponding to the following winning combination is a display result in which "orange" is stopped in either the upper row or the lower row on the pay line that is set to be valid. The operation timing corresponding to the follower role is the timing at which the reel control for pulling (stopping) "orange" to either the upper row or the lower row is performed when the left stop switch 8L is operated. Is. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), when the left stop switch 8L is operated while the symbol No. 20 of the left reel 2L is passing through the middle stage, the main controller 41 indicates "orange". To the top. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the timing during which the symbol No. 20 of the left reel 2L passes through the middle row is the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (C-1), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing while the 20th symbol of the left reel 2L is passing through the middle stage, the 0th symbol stops in the middle stage. A display result combination in which the symbol combinations forming the following winning combination are arranged on the pay line LN3 is derived, and the following winning combination is won and 15 medals are paid out.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to cherry, the main control unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive the display result corresponding to cherry. The display result corresponding to cherry is a display result in which "cherry" is stopped in the upper, middle, or lower row on the winning line that is set to be valid. The operation timing corresponding to cherry is the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) "cherry" to the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage when the left stop switch 8L is operated. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), the main control unit 41 controls the left reel 2L while the symbols 0 to 3 and 8 to 9 or 12 to 15 are passing through the middle stage. When the left stop switch 8L is operated, the "cherry" is pulled to the upper stage, the middle stage or the lower stage. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any of the timings while the symbols 0 to 3, 7 to 10, or 12 to 15 on the left reel 2L pass through the middle row corresponds to cherry. It is the operation timing to perform.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at any timing while the symbols 0 to 3, 7 to 10, or 12 to 15 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle row, the winning line A display result combination in which the symbol combinations that make up cherry are arranged on any of the winning lines LN1 to LN5 is derived, and 15 medals are paid out after winning the cherry. For example, as shown in FIG. 41C-2, the left reel 2L is left at any timing while the symbols 2 to 3 and 10 or the symbols 14 to 15 are passing through the middle stage. When the stop switch 8L is operated, the symbol number 3, 10, or 15 is stopped in the middle row, and the display result in which the "cherry" of the left reel 2L is stopped in the lower row is derived, and the winning line LN2 or the winning line LN5 is derived. A display result combination in which the symbol combinations that make up the cherry are aligned is derived, the cherry is won, and 15 medals are paid out.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination, the main control unit 41 performs reel control so as to derive the display result corresponding to the technical intervention combination. The display result corresponding to the technical intervention combination is the display result in which the "bar" is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage on the winning line that is effectively set. The operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination is, of the timings at which the left stop switch 8L is operated, the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) the "bar" to the upper stage or the lower stage when operated. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), the main control unit 41, when the left stop switch 8L is operated while the symbols 16 to 19 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle stage, Pull the "bar" up or down. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the timing while the symbols No. 16 to No. 19 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage is the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention.

  When the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing while the symbols 16 to 19 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle row, the symbol combination that constitutes the technical intervening role is formed on the winning line LN3 or the winning line LN5. A complete display result combination is derived, a technical intervention is won, and 14 medals are paid out. For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (C-3), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing while the symbols 16 to 17 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle stage, the symbol 17 Is displayed in the middle row, and the display result in which the "bar" of the left reel 2L is stopped in the upper row is derived, and the display result combination in which the symbol combinations that constitute the technical intervention combination are arranged on the pay line LN3 is derived, and the technical intervention combination is derived. And 14 medals will be paid out.

  On the other hand, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at an operation timing that does not correspond to any of the following winning combination, cherry, and technical intervention winning combination, a display result in which no winning of any winning combination occurs is derived. Specifically, the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols No. 4 to No. 6 of the left reel 2L or the symbol No. 10 (area indicated by the dot in FIG. 39 (B-2)) pass through the middle stage. Then, the combination of the symbols constituting the winning combination is not prepared in any of the winning line LN1 to the winning line LN5 (a losing result is derived), and the payout of medals and the provision of the re-play are of special roles. As such, the right to shift to another game state cannot be granted. For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (C-4), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing while the 11th symbol on the left reel 2L is passing through the middle stage, the 11th symbol is moved to the middle stage. Stop. As shown in FIG. 41 (C-4), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at an operation timing that does not correspond to any of the follower, the cherry, and the technical intervention, the winning line LN1 to the winning line LN5 are all displayed. The combination of the symbols that form the winning combination is not complete, and neither the payout of medals, the provision of a replay, nor the provision of the right to shift to another gaming state like a special combination is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped and there is a possibility of winning one of the following winning combination, cherry, and technical intervention winning combination, the main control unit 41 wins the winning combination. When the display result that can be generated can be derived within the maximum pull-in range (one frame for the left reel 2L), the display result that can generate the winning is preferentially derived. Further, in the present embodiment, when a winning combination with one sliding frame number and a winning combination with another sliding frame number in the maximum withdrawal range are different, the winning combination with a large payout number is prioritized. Specifically, the follower and cherry prizes are given priority over the technical intervention. In addition, in the present embodiment, when it is possible to win the winning combination of the cherry and the following winning combination, the winning of the cherry is prioritized. If there is no difference in the number of payouts, it is not particularly limited which one of the plurality of winning combinations is to be preferentially drawn.

  As described above, in CB, when the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L are operated, a display result combination in which 15 coins are paid out or a display result combination in which 14 coins are paid out May be derived, and if none of the display result combinations is derived, a loss result is derived.

  Also, in the case of a reverse push, when one reel is rotating and the other reel is stopped, at the time of the third stop operation, a technical intervening role in which 14 coins are paid out and 15 coins are paid out There may be a situation in which it is possible to win a prize for either the follower or the cherry. In such a case, the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination in which 14 coins are paid out is the timing when the symbols 16 to 19 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage. In addition, the operation timing corresponding to the follower or cherry in which 15 payouts are generated, the symbols 0 to 3, 7 to 10, 12 to 15 or 20 on the left reel 2L pass through the middle row. It is the timing of doing. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), the 3rd symbol is a symbol 5 frames ahead of the 19th symbol. Further, the 12th symbol is a symbol 4 frames before the 16th symbol.

  On the other hand, when the right stop switch 8R is operated at the timing when the fourth symbol, which is 6 frames ahead of the 19th symbol, passes through the middle row, the loss result is derived. Further, when the right stop switch 8R is operated at the timing when the 11th symbol, which is five frames before the 16th symbol, passes through the middle row, the loss is derived.

  In other words, if the deviation from the timing at which the technical intervention combination can be won is within the predetermined range, the loss result is not derived. On the other hand, if the deviation from the timing at which the technical intervention role can be won exceeds the predetermined range, there is a possibility that a loss result will be derived.

  FIG. 42 is a diagram illustrating an example of reel control in the CB according to the modification. In FIG. 42, how many extra frames are rotated when the stop switch 8 is operated when each symbol of the reel 2 is present in the middle stage of the reel 2 (the number of sliding frames), and the symbol number to be stopped in the middle stage ( Stop position). FIG. 42A is a diagram showing reel control of the left reel 2L in a situation where all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotating. FIG. 42B is a diagram showing reel control of the middle reel 2C in a situation where the number “7” of the left reel 2L, number 20, is stopped in the middle stage.

  When the display result corresponding to cherry can be derived when the left reel 2L first stops, the display result corresponding to cherry is preferentially derived. Further, when the display result corresponding to cherry cannot be derived when the left reel 2L first stops, the display result corresponding to bell is preferentially derived. Further, when the display result corresponding to cherry and the display result corresponding to bell cannot be derived when the left reel 2L first stops, the display result corresponding to the follower and the technical intervention correspond to. The display result cannot be derived, and the display result corresponding to the watermelon is derived. The reel control will be described in detail below.

  The reel control of the left reel 2L when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to cherry will be described. In the present embodiment, the display result corresponding to the left reel 2L of cherry is a display result in which "cherry" is stopped in the upper, middle, or lower row (see FIG. 38). The operation timing corresponding to cherry is the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) "cherry" to the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage when the left stop switch 8L is operated. When the left stop switch 8L is operated while the symbols 0 to 3, 8 to 10, or 12 to 15 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle stage, the main controller 41 , Pull the "cherry" to the top, middle or bottom. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any timing while the symbols 0 to 3 of the left reel 2L, the numbers 8 to 10 or the numbers 12 to 15 pass through the middle stage corresponds to cherry. It is the operation timing to perform.

  As shown in FIG. 38, cherry has a role of winning regardless of whether the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R are stopped, if "cherry" is derived on the pay line as the stop outcome of the left reel 2L. is there. That is, when the "cherry" is stopped on the pay line LN1 to the pay line LN when the left reel 2L is first stopped, the timing of operating the middle stop switch 8C and the right stop switch 8R, and the order of operation. Regardless of which, you can get 15 medals by winning cherry.

  The reel control of the left reel 2L when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the bell will be described. In the present embodiment, the display result corresponding to the left reel 2L of the bell is the display result in which "bell" or "orange" is stopped in the upper, middle, or lower row (see FIG. 38). The operation timing corresponding to the bell is the timing at which reel control is performed to pull (stop) the "bell" or "orange" to the upper, middle, or lower stages when operating the left stop switch 8L. is there. In addition, when "bell" or "orange" is pulled to the upper, middle, or lower stage, the timing at which "cherry" stops at any of the upper, middle, or lower stages is the operation timing corresponding to the cherry. When the left stop switch 8L is operated while the symbols No. 4 to No. 7, No. 11, No. 16 to No. 18, or No. 20 of the left reel 2L are passing through the middle stage, the main control unit 41 , "Bell" or "orange" is drawn in the upper, middle, or lower tier, and "cherry" is not drawn in any of the pay lines LN1 to LN5. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any of the timings while the symbols No. 4 to No. 7, No. 11, No. 16 to No. 18, or No. 20 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage correspond to the bell. It is the operation timing to perform.

  As shown in FIG. 36, "bells" are arranged on the second reel 6, 2nd, 6th, 11th, 15th, and 20th in the middle reel 2C, and the "bells" are arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel 2C. Has been done. Therefore, the "bell" can be stopped at the middle stage on the pay line regardless of the timing of operating the middle stop switch 8C.

  On the right reel 2R, "bells" are arranged at 0th, 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th, and on the right reel 2R, "bells" are arranged within 5 frames. Therefore, regardless of the timing of operating the right stop switch 8R, the "bell" can be stopped at the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage on the pay line.

  That is, when either the "orange" or the "bell" is stopped on the pay line LN1 to the pay line LN when the left reel 2L is first stopped, the middle stop switch 8C and the right stop switch 8R are turned on. You can win 15 medals by winning the bell regardless of the operation timing and the operation order.

  The reel control of the left reel 2L when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon will be described. In the present embodiment, the display result corresponding to the left reel 2L of the watermelon is the display result in which the "watermelon" is stopped in the upper, middle, or lower row (see FIG. 38). The operation timing corresponding to the watermelon is a timing at which reel control of pulling (stopping) the "watermelon" to the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage when the left stop switch 8L is operated is performed. When the left stop switch 8L is operated while the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L is passing through the middle stage, the main controller 41 pulls the "watermelon" to the lower stage. Therefore, in the present embodiment, any timing while the symbol No. 19 of the left reel 2L is passing through the middle row is the operation timing corresponding to the watermelon.

  As shown in FIG. 42 (A), when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 19th "watermelon" of the left reel 2L has passed through the middle stage, the main control section 41 causes one frame to slide 20th. A display result in which "7" is stopped in the middle is derived. The display result of the number 20 "7" of the left reel 2L stopped in the middle stage is 0, "replay", number 20 "7", number 19 "watermelon" in the order of upper, middle and lower. It is a stopped result. As shown in FIG. 38, in CB, the left reel 2L is stopped, and the 0th "replay", the 20th "7", and the 19th "watermelon" are derived in the order of the upper, middle, and lower stages. Watermelon is the only part that can win the prize.

  FIG. 42B is a diagram showing reel control of the middle reel 2C in a situation where the number “7” of the left reel 2L, number 20, is stopped in the middle stage. When the middle stop switch 8C is operated in the area indicated by the dot in FIG. 42 (B), the "watermelon" is not derived in the middle stage, and the derivation of the loss is confirmed. Specifically, when the middle stop switch 8C is operated at a timing when the symbols 0 to 5, 11 to 14 or the symbol 20 of the middle reel 2C are passing through the middle stage, the "watermelon" is given to the winning line. I can't pull in the upper middle row.

  On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 8C is operated at the timing when the symbols 6-10 of the middle reel 2C or the symbols 15-19 are passing through the middle stage, "watermelon" is drawn into the middle stage on the winning line. Be done. Note that, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, "watermelons" are arranged on the right reel 2R at Nos. 3, 7, 11, and 20, and "watermelon" at the right reel 2R. Are not placed within 5 frames. Therefore, depending on the timing of operating the right stop switch 8R, even if the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C are stopped and the symbols constituting the watermelon are derived on the winning line, the watermelon may not be won. In this case, the derived display result combination is a missing item.

  In this way, in CB, when the left stop switch 8L, the middle stop switch 8C, and the right stop switch 8R are operated, a display result combination in which 15 payouts are generated is derived, and a watermelon, cherry, or bell is won. However, if the display result combination that causes the payout of 15 sheets is not derived, the lost result is derived.

  Also, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 19th "watermelon" of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, depending on the timing of operating the middle stop switch 8C and the right stop switch 8R, 15 pieces of payout are paid out. The generated display result combination is not derived, and the lost result is derived. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing other than the timing when the 19th "watermelon" on the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, 15 pieces of the 15 pieces of watermelon are operated regardless of the timing of operating the middle stop switch 8C and the right stop switch 8R. A display result combination in which payout occurs is derived.

  That is, when the player operates the left stop switch 8L at the timing when the symbols other than the number 19 on the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage, and when the player turns the 19th "watermelon" on the left reel 2L to the left stop at the timing. Comparing with the case where the switch 8L is operated, it is easier to win the prize if the left stop switch 8L is operated at a timing when a symbol other than the number 19 of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage. Specifically, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when a symbol other than the 19th symbol on the left reel 2L passes through the middle row, a display result in which a winning occurs regardless of the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R. Combinations can be derived. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 19th "watermelon" of the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage, the display result combination in which the winning is generated depending on the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8C and 8R. It cannot be derived.

  In particular, among the timings when the symbols other than the 19th symbol on the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage, the timing (first timing) at which "cherry" can be drawn is not limited to the case where the left reel 2L is first stopped. Since the winning of the cherry is confirmed when the derivation of the “cherry” is confirmed, even if the left reel 2L is stopped for the second time, thereafter, the prize is generated regardless of the timing of operating the stop switch. The result combination is derived.

  In the present embodiment, even when the operation is performed at the first timing and the cherry is eventually won, the operation is performed at the timing (second timing) at which the 19th "watermelon" on the left reel 2L passes through the middle stage (second timing). In either case, the payout of 15 medals occurs. That is, the advantage for the player does not change between the case where the player operates as a result of winning at the first timing and the case where the player wins as a result of operating at the second timing. On the other hand, the easiness of winning is different between the case of operating at the first timing and the case of operating at the second timing, and the case of operating at the first timing is different from the case of operating at the second timing. Winning is easy to occur. Therefore, comparing the first timing and the second timing, the first timing is the more advantageous timing for the player.

  Thus, the slot machine 1 may be configured as follows.

In the derivation control unit, the plurality of derivation operation units are operated in the second order in the special state, and the remaining one variable display unit (for example, the left reel 2L) of the plurality of variable display units is changed. When both of the first combination and the second combination of display results are derivable in the case of display (for example, in the right reel 2R No. 6 of the right reel 2R shown in FIG. 41B). "Replay" is in the middle, and the 5th or 14th "blank" of the middle reel 2C is in the middle),
The derivation operation means (for example, the left stop switch 8L) corresponding to the remaining one variable display portion is operated at the timing corresponding to the first combination of the attached display result (for example, the operation timing corresponding to the follower or cherry). If so, control is performed to derive the first combination of display results (for example, a combination of display results with a winning combination of follower or cherry),
When the derivation operation means corresponding to the remaining one variable display portion is operated at the timing corresponding to the second combination of the attached display result (for example, the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination), the second attached display result Control for deriving a combination (for example, a display result combination accompanied by a winning of a technical intervention role),
Timing at which the derivation operation means corresponding to the remaining one variable display portion does not correspond to any of the first combination of display result combination and the second combination of display result combination (for example, the middle row is numbered 4 to 6 of the left reel 2L). No. or the timing at which the No. 10 symbol is passing) is performed, the control for deriving the non-prize display result combination (for example, a loss result) is performed,
Each of the plurality of variable display units variably displays a plurality of identification information in a predetermined arrangement order (the reel 2 is rotated by a reel motor, so that the symbols arranged on the reel 2 are continuously displayed on the see-through window 3). Displayed while changing)
The timing corresponding to the first added display result combination is the specific identification information (for example, 0 to 3 of the left reel 2L, 7 of the left reel 2L) among the plurality of identification information variably displayed on the remaining one variable display section. No. to No. 10, No. 12 to No. 15 or No. 20) is the timing of passing a specific position (for example, the middle row),
The timing corresponding to the second added display result combination is special identification information (for example, symbols 16 to 19 of the left reel 2L) among the plurality of identification information variably displayed on the remaining one variable display portion. ) Is the timing of passing the specific position,
The specific identification information and the special identification information are arranged within a predetermined range (for example, the symbol No. 3 is a symbol five frames ahead of the symbol No. 19 and the symbol No. 12 is more than the symbol No. 16). Is also the pattern 4 frames ago).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), in CB, when operating in the order of the right stop switch 8R, the middle stop switch 8C, and the left stop switch 8L, before operating the left stop switch 8L. Of the display result combinations in which 15 payouts are generated and the display result combinations in which 14 payouts are generated, any display result combination is derived at the timing when the right reel 2R and the middle reel 2C are stopped. There are situations in which you can do it.

  In such a situation, the operation timing corresponding to the technical intervention combination in which payout of 14 sheets occurs is the timing when the symbols 16 to 19 of the left reel 2L pass through the middle stage. In addition, the operation timing corresponding to the follower or cherry in which 15 payouts are generated, the symbols 0 to 3, 7 to 10, 12 to 15 or 20 on the left reel 2L pass through the middle row. It is the timing of doing. As shown in FIG. 39 (B-2), the 3rd symbol is a symbol 5 frames ahead of the 19th symbol. Further, the 12th symbol is a symbol 4 frames before the 16th symbol. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the fourth symbol, which is 6 frames ahead of the 19th symbol, is passing through the middle row, a loss occurs. Also, if the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the 11th symbol, which is five frames before the 16th symbol, is passing through the middle row, a loss occurs.

  Therefore, when operating the left stop switch 8L aiming at the winning of the technical intervention combination in which 14 coins are paid out, five frames before the timing when the technical intervention combination in which 14 coins are paid out can be generated. If the stop switch is operated at the timing, the player loses the game, but if the timing is within 4 frames, the winning combination of 15 coins can be won. Further, when the left stop switch 8L is operated aiming at winning of the technical intervention combination in which 14 cards are paid out, six frames ahead of the timing when the technical intervention combination in which 14 cards are paid out can be generated. If the stop switch is operated at the timing, the player loses the game. On the other hand, if the timing is within 6 frames, the winning combination of 15 coins can be won.

  Therefore, if a player wins a winning combination of 14 coins and operates the winning combination at a timing for winning the winning combination, even if the timing is missed, the timing is earlier by 1 to 4 frames, or 1 to 5 frames. If the timing is late for a frame, a winning combination of 15 coins will be won. Therefore, even a player with a low skill level is less likely to be lost if he / she is aiming for a payout of 14 coins, and the enjoyment of the game is improved.

(Regarding an example of specific effects under different reel control)
FIG. 42 is a diagram illustrating an example of reel control in the CB according to the modification. In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 stops left at the timing at which the 8th or 9th symbol provided at a position away from the 19th symbol of the left reel 2L has passed the middle stage in the first timing. The specific effect is executed when the switch 8L is operated. It should be noted that the specific effect may be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated even at a timing at which the player can easily aim at the first timing.

  The timing that is easy for the player to aim is, for example, as shown in the symbols 1, 2, 13, and 14 in FIG. 2, even when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotating, the passing has occurred. It is the timing when a symbol near the easy-to-understand "7" symbol passed through the middle tier.

  Specifically, in the modified example, the specific effect is executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the first, second, eighth, ninth, thirteenth, and fourth symbols pass through the middle row. To do.

  A method of determining an effect to be executed when the left stop switch 8L is operated at the timing when the symbols of Nos. 1, 2, 8, 9, 13, 13 and 14 pass through the middle row will be described. FIG. 43 is a diagram showing a specific effect mode determination table according to the modification. As shown in FIG. 43, the sub control unit 91 determines the mode of the specific effect to be executed according to the timing at which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the set value that is set.

  FIG. 43 (A) shows the probability of a specific effect mode executed when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol of No. 8 or No. 9, which is not close to the symbol that is easy to understand, has passed through the middle stage. It is the 1st specific production mode decision table shown. In FIG. 43 (B), like the symbols 1, 2, 13, and 14, the stop switch is operated at a timing when a symbol near the “7” symbol which is easy to understand has passed the middle stage. It is the 2nd specific production mode decision table which showed the probability of the mode of the specific production performed when it was performed.

  As can be seen by comparing FIG. 43 (A) and FIG. 43 (B), the one when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol near the “7” symbol which is easy to understand has passed the middle stage. However, the deviation of the execution probability is larger than when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol of No. 8 or No. 9 in which the symbol which is easy to understand that it has passed is not nearby is operated at the middle stage. Therefore, when the stop switch is operated at the timing when a symbol near the "7" symbol that is easy to pass has passed through the middle tier, a symbol that is easy to see passed is not nearby No. 8 or 9 The precision of suggesting the set value is higher than that when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol of the symbol passes through the middle stage.

  Therefore, in the first timing, it is possible to prompt the user to operate at a timing when a symbol near the “7” symbol that is easy to understand has passed the middle stage. However, the distance from the number 19 where the possibility of winning is reduced is closer to the symbols 1, 2, 13, and 14 than to the symbols 8 and 9. Therefore, although the specific effect with high precision of suggesting the set value is executed, whether the target of the number 1, 2, 13, or 14 symbol close to the second timing passes through the middle stage, or suggests the set value Although the specific effect with low accuracy is executed, the player can select whether to aim at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol far from the second timing passes through the middle row according to his / her skill.

  Although the example of suggesting the set value according to the aspect of the specific effect has been shown, the set value may be suggested depending on whether or not to execute the specific effect. FIG. 44 is a diagram showing a specific effect execution determination table according to the modification.

  FIG. 44 (A) shows the execution probability of the specific effect when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol of No. 8 or No. 9, which is not close to the symbol which is easy to understand that passed, is operated at the middle stage. It is a specific effect execution determination table. In FIG. 44 (B), like the symbols No. 1, No. 2, No. 13, and No. 14, the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol near the “7” symbol that is easy to pass has passed the middle stage. It is the 2nd specific production execution decision table which showed the execution probability of the specific production when it was performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 44 (A) and 44 (B), the execution probability of the specific effect is set such that the higher the set value that is set, the higher the probability that the specific effect will be executed. Therefore, the player can be expected to set a high setting value by executing the specific effect.

  Similarly to FIG. 43, when the stop switch is operated at a timing when a symbol near the “7” symbol which is easy to understand has passed through the middle stage, it is easier to understand that the bias in execution probability has passed. It is larger than when the stop switch was operated at the timing when the 8th or 9th symbol, which is not nearby, passed through the middle row. Therefore, when the stop switch is operated at the timing when a symbol near the "7" symbol that is easy to pass has passed through the middle tier, a symbol that is easy to see passed is not nearby No. 8 or 9 The precision of suggesting the set value is higher than that when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol of the symbol passes through the middle stage.

(About specific effects)
In the present embodiment, the specific effect is performed using the liquid crystal display 51 controlled by the sub control unit 91. The specific effect may be performed using a device controlled by the main control unit 41 (reel 2L, 2C, 2R, etc.). Further, as the device controlled by the sub control unit 91, the speaker 53, the LED provided on the reel 2, the LED provided on the outer periphery of the slot machine 1, or the like other than the liquid crystal display 51 is used to perform the specific effect. You may.

  In the present embodiment, the specific effect is executed regardless of the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. However, the specific effect may not be executed depending on the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated.

  The specific effect is not limited to being executed after the first stop operation, but may be executed at any timing such as after the second stop operation, after the third stop operation, or after the third stop is released.

  The specific effect may be executed not only in CB but also in BB. In this case, also in the reel control during the BB, the first timing and the second timing are provided as the stop timings of any reels, and when the stop switch is operated at the timing recommended to the player, the specification is made. All you have to do is direct the performance. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in the BB, the first timing and the second timing are provided as the stop timing of the left reel 2L. As described with reference to FIG. 9, the player can always generate the technical intervention winning combination by operating the left stop switch 8L at the first timing, thereby adjusting the number of medals to be won in the BB. be able to. In the BB, when the player operates the stop switch 8L at such a first timing, the specific effect is executed, while when the player operates the stop switch 8L at the second timing, the specific effect is not executed. May be The specific performance executed in BB has the same effect contents as the specific effect executed in CB as described in FIG. 10, and the specific effect mode used in CB as described in FIG. 11. The same table as the table may be used. Alternatively, the specific effect executed in the BB has the same effect contents as the specific effect executed in the CB as described in FIG. 10, but the specific effect used in the CB as described in FIG. A table in which a probability different from the mode table is set may be used. Alternatively, the specific effect executed in the BB may have effect contents different from the specific effect executed in the CB as described with reference to FIG. 10, for example, suggesting that the technical intervention role has won. The effect contents to be performed (a winning sound dedicated to technical intervention, a winning image dedicated to technical intervention (character image of “great!”, Etc.) may be used. By doing so, it is possible to suggest to the player that the number of medals to be acquired in the BB can be adjusted by winning the technical intervention role. In this way, the specific effects common to the first special state (CB) and the second special state (BB) may be executed, or different specific effects may be executed.

(About the first timing and the second timing)
In the present embodiment, the timing of stopping the left reel 2L is given as an example of the first timing and the second timing, but the first timing and the second timing are the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. The timing may be to stop.

(Regarding winning awards for BB and RB)
FIG. 45 is an explanatory diagram of a modification in which the number of acquired sheets, which is one less than the result notification, is displayed at the end of BB. FIG. 46 is an explanatory diagram from the end of the RB to the notification of the result according to the modification.

  It is assumed that the total number of medals acquired in BB is 933 and the number of acquired medals is 311. At this time, as shown in FIG. 45 (a), in the game which is the final game of BB, before the result notification is executed, the total acquired number display 62 is set to 932, and the acquired number display 63 is set to 310. , Displayed by one less than the actual total number of acquired sheets and the number of acquired sheets. Then, after that, the result notification is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 27 and 28, and finally, in the result images 51j and 51k, the total acquired number is 933 and the acquired number is 311 as shown in FIG. And

  Regarding the RB, it is assumed that the total number of medals acquired in the RB is 726 and the number of acquired medals is 104. At this time, as shown in FIG. 46A, in the game which is the final game of the RB, the total acquired number display 62 is 726, the acquired number display 63 is 104, and the actual total acquired number and the acquired number are Display the same number. Then, after that, the result notification is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 27 and 28, and as shown in FIG. 46 (b), in the final result images 51j and 51k, the total acquisition number is 726 and the acquisition number is 104 sheets.

  As a result, the BB and RB display modes of the total acquired number display 62 and the acquired number display 63 up to the result images 51j and 51k are made different, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

(About turn-off timing of reel backlight)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), the reel backlight 28 is turned off before the result notification is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the reel backlight 28 may be turned off after the result notification is executed, and the bonus bonus lamp 60 may be turned off after the reel backlight 28 is turned off. By doing so, it is possible to gradually indicate that the bonus is finished by turning off the reel backlight 28 and the bonus medium lamp 60 in this order.

(About subtraction of earnable amount, addition of total earned amount and earned amount)
In the present embodiment, the subtraction of the obtainable amount and the addition of the total obtainable amount and the obtainable amount are simultaneously started to finish the subtraction of the obtainable amount first, and thereafter the addition of the total obtainable amount and the obtainable amount is performed. Although it has ended, the subtraction of the earnable amount is started first, and the addition of the total earned amount and the earned amount is started later than the subtraction of the earnable amount, or the subtraction of the earnable amount is started first. By starting the addition of the total acquisition amount and the acquisition amount after the subtraction of the acquisition amount is completed, the subtraction of the acquisition amount is finished first, and then the addition of the total acquisition amount and the acquisition amount is finished. Good. Also in this case, the result notification is executed after the addition of the total acquisition amount and the acquisition amount is completed.

  In the present embodiment, the subtraction of the obtainable amount and the addition of the total acquisition amount and the acquisition amount are performed at the same timing, but the subtraction timing and the addition timing may be different (the timings may be different). Further, the addition of the total acquisition amount and the addition of the acquisition amount are performed at the same timing, but the timings of these additions may be different (the timings may be shifted). Further, the addition of the total acquisition amount and the acquisition amount and the addition on the game auxiliary display unit 12 are performed at the same timing, but the timing of these additions may be different (the timings may be deviated).

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

  The embodiments disclosed this time are to be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive.
