In a gaming machine that provides a bonus to a player according to a symbol combination when all the variable display rows are stopped, a plurality of winning combinations including a specific winning combination having different advantages depending on the operation mode of the stop operation means. It is possible to specify a role lottery means for performing a role lottery for deciding whether or not one of the winning roles has been won, a determining means for making a decision regarding an advantageous right in a predetermined game state, and an operation mode of the stop operating means. When the stop operation means is operated in a predetermined operation mode according to the specific winning combination, the symbol combination when the variable display row is stopped is an advantageous symbol combination. In the predetermined game state, as a notification mode that can be notified by the notification means when the specific winning combination is won, a complete notification mode in which the predetermined operation mode is completely identifiable information and the predetermined operation Although the mode cannot be completely specified, there is a partial notification mode that makes it easier to perform the predetermined operation mode than when no notification is performed, and the determination result of the determination means is the specific state in the predetermined game state. By being operated in the predetermined operation mode when winning a winning combination, the advantageous symbol combination is more advantageous than not operating in the predetermined operation mode, and then the specific winning combination If the advantageous symbol combination is again obtained when the player wins, it is further advantageous, and when the determination means is notified in the complete notification mode when the specific combination is won, the stop operation is performed. Regardless of whether or not the means is operated in the predetermined operation mode, it is considered that the advantageous symbol combination is considered, and special processing is performed to make the determination result advantageous to the player. ..

  According to this configuration, when the notification mode at the time of winning the specific winning combination is the complete notification mode, it is considered that the advantageous symbol combination is obtained regardless of whether or not the stop operation means is operated in the predetermined operation mode. Even if the stop operation means is operated by mistake when notified in the complete notification mode, no disadvantage is given to the player. Further, in the case of other notification modes, since the determination means gives an advantageous determination result when an advantageous symbol combination is obtained, it is possible to appropriately give a profit according to the notification mode by the notification means. Further, in the case of the partial notification mode, it is not advantageous unless the stop operation means is operated in a predetermined operation mode. Therefore, the player pays attention to the difference in the type of the notification mode by the notification means, and feels a sense of tension in the game. It can be performed.

  In addition, at least the determining means, including a main control means for controlling the progress of the game, and a sub-control means for controlling the effect according to the progress of the game based on the information transmitted from the main control means, The main control means further includes a notification mode determination means for determining the notification mode by the notification means, and the determination means is configured to notify the notification by the notification means in the complete notification mode based on the determination result by the notification mode determination means. It may be determined whether or not there is.

  According to this configuration, the determining means determines whether or not the notification mode is the complete notification mode by using the determination result of the notification mode determining means that determines the notification mode by the notification means. It is not necessary to provide the above, and it is possible to prevent the processing load from increasing.

  Further, the determination result by the determining means is informed during a predetermined game period in the predetermined game state, and the determining means, when the specific combination is won in the final game of the predetermined game period, The special processing may be performed even when the notification means notifies the partial notification mode.

  According to this configuration, in the final game that informs the determination result, when the specific combination is won, regardless of the type of the notification mode, the notification based on the determination result in consideration of the game is performed before the variable display row is stopped. You can Further, since the decision result considering the final game can be notified, the final game is not wasted and the player's interest is improved unlike the case where the game is configured not to affect the decision result.

  After that, after the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R accelerate, the operation of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, and the operation of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective. The left reel 13L is stopped when the operation of the left stop switch 21L is detected, the middle reel 13M is stopped when the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected, and the right reel is detected when the operation of the right stop switch 21R is detected. 13R is stopped. In this way, by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

  When all of the three left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped. At this time, when the predetermined symbol is stopped at a predetermined position on the winning line (downward right line) of the display window 11 in which the valid symbols are valid, that is, the symbols on the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are symbols relating to winning the winning combination. When the combination is displayed on the display window 11, a prize is won, and the number of medals according to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payout port 39. It should be noted that a predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player instead of or in addition to the payout of medals. The predetermined profit is, for example, the same bet as the winning game without shifting to a bonus game state (RBB1 to 2) due to winning of a bonus role described later or inserting a new medal due to winning of a re-playing role described later. The number of bets, etc., which are automatically set in order to play the next game, can be cited.

  As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7, as the types of winning combinations, a bonus winning combination and a general winning combination (re-playing combination, small winning combination) are preset. The bonus role is a transition role to the bonus game state. A re-play combination (hereinafter, also referred to as a replay) is a combination in which, when a prize is won, the next game can be performed with the same bet number as the prize game without inserting a new medal. The small winning combination is a winning combination in which a predetermined payout (the number of payouts) is obtained.

-Bonus combination Two types of bonus combinations, "RBB1" and "RBB2", are set. Here, when the symbol combination (R7-R7-BAR) related to "RBB1" is stopped on the winning line, a winning is achieved, and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB1). In addition, when the symbol combination (W7-R7-WM2) related to "RBB2" is stopped on the winning line, the prize is won, and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB2). In this embodiment, the bonus combination “RBB1” and “RBB2” is configured so that there is no payout even if a prize is won, but a predetermined number of payouts may be awarded.

Replay combination The replay combination is a plurality of "NRP1" to "NRP15", "IFRP1" to "IFRP5", "CRP1" to "CRP7", "R7RP1" to "R7RP10", and "WRP1" to "WRP5". The type is set. When the symbol combination relating to these winnings stops on the winning line, the next game can be played under the same conditions (the number of bets) as the winning game without inserting medals.

Small role Small role is "BE1" to "BE11", "WM1" to "WM4", "CH1" to "CH19", "ATA1" to "ATA10", "ATB1" to "ATB16", "PZ1". A plurality of types of "PZ52", "PZX1" to "PZX22" are set. Here, “BE1” to “BE10” are push-order AT combinations (winning combination groups “ATLC1 to ATLC2”, “ATLR1 to ATLR2”, “ATCL1 to ATCL2”, “ATCR1 to ATCR2”, “ATRL1 to ATRL2”, “ATRC1 to ATRC2”. : (See FIG. 9)), the winning combination is set when the pressing order is correct when winning. When the symbol combination related to winning of these winning combinations is stopped on the winning line, a payout of 10 (3 bets, 2 bets) is obtained. In addition, the winning mode of "BE1" is a symbol combination in which the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" is aligned on the line descending to the right. The winning modes of “BE2” and “BE3” are as follows: the symbol “BE1 (bell 1)” on the upper stage of the left reel 13L, the symbol “BE2 (bell 2)” on the upper stage of the middle reel 13M, and the upper stage of the right reel 13R. It is a symbol combination (the bell symbol on the upper line) in which the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" is stopped. The winning mode of "BE4" is a symbol combination in which the symbols "BE1 (bell 1)" are arranged in the middle line. In addition, the winning mode of "BE5" and "BE6" is that the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" is on the lower stage of the left reel 13L, the symbol "BE2 (bell 2)" is on the lower stage of the middle reel 13M, and the lower stage of the right reel 13R. It is a symbol combination (the bell symbol on the lower line) in which the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" is stopped. The winning mode of "BE7" and "BE8" is a symbol combination in which the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" is lined up in a line rising to the right. The winning modes of “BE9” and “BE10” are the symbol “BE1 (bell 1)” on the lower stage of the left reel 13L, the symbol “BE2 (bell 2)” on the middle stage of the middle reel 13M, and the symbol “BE2” on the upper stage of the right reel 13R. "BE1 (bell 1)" is a symbol combination that stops (bell symbol on the line rising to the right). That is, when the player presses the push order AT combination and the push order is correct, the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" or the symbol "BE2 (bell 2)" is on a straight line, so the player pushes the order. The correct answer is easy to understand.

  When the symbol combination relating to the winning of "WM1" to "WM4" is stopped on the winning line, three (3 bets and 2 bets are common) payout is obtained. When the winning symbol combination of "CH1" to "CH19" is stopped on the winning line, one (three bets and two bets are common) payout is obtained. When the winning symbol combinations of "ATA1" to "ATA10" are stopped on the winning line, one (three bets and two bets are common) payout is obtained. When the winning symbol combination of "ATB1" to "ATB16" is stopped on the winning line, each one (three bets and two bets are common) payout is obtained. When the winning symbol combinations of "PZ1" to "PZ52" are stopped on the winning line, one (three bets and two bets are common) payout is obtained. When the winning symbol combinations of "PZX1" to "PZX22" are stopped on the winning line, one (three bets and two bets are common) payout is obtained.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 of FIG. 4 sets one setting value from a plurality of setting values (setting 1 to setting 6) having different payout rates (payout rates). This set value is for selecting the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102 described later, and any of the setting values corresponds to each of the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch 56 when the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on while the change processing start switch 56 is on, a predetermined setting change processing is started. .. The payout rate can be calculated by (total payout number) / (total input number) * 100 [%].

  Here, the winning probability in the lottery in the general game is set in a plurality of stages that are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types), and the role lottery shown in FIG. 4 is set for each of the plurality of stages of setting values. A table 671 (general game lottery table) is associated. Then, when the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change this set value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 4 is the type of game (RT0, RBB1-2, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and the set values (setting 1-setting 6) set by the setting control means 101. 4), one lottery table is selected from the plurality of winning lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in the normal game, the table selection means 102 selects the role lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as the role lottery table in accordance with the winning probability setting values (setting 1 to setting 6).

(4) Role lottery means 103
The winning combination lottery means 103 of FIG. 4 includes a plurality of winning combinations (small winning combinations, re-gaming combinations, increasing winning combinations) and a plurality of winning combinations (winning) at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to start the game. The winning combination lottery is performed by determining which winning combination of the winning combination group (see FIG. 8 and FIG. 9) is won based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game. The role lottery means 103 includes lottery value generation means 103a and lottery value determination determination means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generation means 103a
In the lottery value generation means 103a, a random number generation means composed of an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts a clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit is within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal). The generated random number for lottery is extracted at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to generate a lottery value used for winning a lottery or the like. Since the random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, the numerical values generated by the random number generating means are not strictly random numbers. However, since the timing of operating the start switch 19 is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a can be treated substantially as a random number. The lottery value generation means 103a may generate the lottery value using a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate the lottery value using a software random number. The lottery value generation means 103a may generate the lottery value by performing a predetermined calculation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determination means 103b determines which of the plurality of winning combinations (winning combination groups) has been won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a.

  Specifically, in the winning lottery table 671, for each lottery value within the range generated by the random number generating means, which one of the plurality of winning prize groups shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. The correspondence relationship between the lottery value for determining whether or not and the winning combination group is set in advance. The lottery value determination determining means 103b refers to the role lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102, and determines which winning group the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a is set to win, or loses. It is determined which of a plurality of winning combination groups has been won by determining whether the winning combination is set to.

  Further, in the role lottery table 671, some of the lottery values are set so that a plurality of hands are won in duplicate, so the lottery value determination determination means 103b generates the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a. When the determination is made for all the ranges, that is, as the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103, the winning combination groups shown in FIGS. In addition, among the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, for those having a plurality of winning combinations (role names), when the internal winning is achieved, the symbol combinations related to all the winning combinations forming the winning combination group are won. It is in a state where it is allowed to line up.

  Further, the lottery value determination determination means 103b stores, as the winning combination drawing result, information capable of specifying whether or not a bonus winning combination is won in the first data area of the winning combination drawing result storage area 651, and wins the general winning combination. Information capable of specifying whether or not it is stored in the second data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a unique hexadecimal higher combination number is assigned to each bonus combination, and a lower hexadecimal number unique to each general combination (replay combination, small combination). A role number is assigned. Then, the lottery value determination determination means 103b stores the winning combination numbers, which are the winning lottery results and which form the winning combination group (including the case of losing), in the corresponding data area of the winning combination lottery result storage area 651. Remember.

  That is, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the bonus combinations shown in FIG. 8, the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines the higher winning combination number assigned to the winning bonus combination. Any one of "$ 01" to "$ 02" is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651. When the bonus winning combination is lost (non-winning), the lottery value determination determining unit 103b stores the higher winning combination number "$ 00" assigned to the loss in the data area. In addition, after storing "$ 01" to "$ 02" as the high-ranking combination number, this value is maintained until the bonus combination is won, so that the bonus combination is carried over.

  Further, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the general winning combination (re-playing combination, small combination) shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the lottery value determination determining means 103b Any one of the lower winning combination numbers “$ 01” to “$ 0F” assigned to the winning general winning combination is stored in the 1-byte second data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651. When the general winning combination is lost (non-winning), the lottery value determination determining unit 103b stores the lower winning combination number “$ 00” assigned to the general winning combination in the data area.

(5) Reel detection means 104
The reel detecting means 104 of FIG. 4 outputs detection signals of the left / center / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R for driving the left / center / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. The rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected based on the number of supply pulses. In this case, the reel detecting means 104, when the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and when the rotation is stopped, the reels are arranged at a predetermined reference position (in this embodiment, for example, the middle of the display window 11). Detect the corresponding frame numbers respectively.

(6) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 controls the stop of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R using the stop table 672 based on the operation mode of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R by the player and the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103. It is something to do. In order to win the winning combination belonging to the winning combination group determined by the winning lottery means 103, the stop control means 105 is basically all of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, and the winning symbols within the retractable range (FIG. 7). (See) is stopped on the pay line. Since each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R is set with an allowable number of sliding pieces (retractable range: usually, maximum 4 pieces), if the operation timing does not match, the winning line will be a winning symbol. In some cases, it may not be possible to align, and in such a case a dropout (non-win) occurs. Hereinafter, the stop configuration of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R at the time of winning will be described together with the winning combination of the winning group.

  The winning group "RPN1" is composed of "NRP1" to "NRP15" and "IFRP1" to "IFRP5". In this case, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order such that the first stop is the left reel 13L, the stop control means 105 preferentially wins "NRP1" and "NRP2". Perform reel control. "NRP1" and "NRP2" have stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R because one of the winning symbols is within the retractable range, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Be sure to win "NRP1" or "NRP2" depending on the operation timing (without dropping). At this time, the symbol "RP" is a stopped symbol combination aligned in the middle line (see FIGS. 10 and 14 (a)). Further, the stop control means 105, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order such that the first stop is the middle reel 13M, the reels are preferentially won from "NRP3" to "NRP6". Take control. "NRP3" to "NRP6" have stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R because any winning symbol is within a range that can be drawn in, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Be sure to win one of the "NRP3" to "NRP6" depending on the operation timing (without dropping). At this time, the symbol "RP" is a combination of stopped symbols aligned in the line rising to the right (see FIGS. 10 and 14B). Further, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order such that the first stop is the right reel 13R, "NRP7" wins preferentially. "NRP7" is in the range in which the winning symbol can be drawn in, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and accordingly, "NRP7" is set according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Be sure to win the "NRP7" (no missing). At this time, the symbol "RP" is a stop symbol combination aligned on the line descending to the right (see FIGS. 10 and 14C). In the following, "NRP1" to "NRP15" and "IFRP1" to "IFRP5" may be collectively referred to as "basic lip".

  The winning group "RPN2" is composed of "basic rep" and "CRP1". In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel control similar to that of the winning combination group “RPN1”. That is, when the first stop reel is the left reel 13L in the push order, "NRP1" and "NRP2" are the priority winning combinations, and when the first stop reel is the middle reel 13M, "NRP3". In the pressing order in which "-NRP6" is the priority winning combination and the first stop reel is the right reel 13R, "NRP7" is the priority winning combination. Although “CRP1” is a constituent of the winning group, it is provided as a winning combination.

  The winning group “RPBB1” is composed of “R7RP1” to “R7RP10” and “basic lip”. In this case, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order in which the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control means 105 gives priority to "R7RP1" and "R7RP2". Perform reel control to win the prize. The winning symbol of "R7RP1" is "R7 (red 7): left reel 13L"-"R7 (red 7): middle reel 13M"-"BE1 (bell 1): right reel 13R". Therefore, for example, when the right stop switch 21R is operated in a range in which the right reel 13R is the first stop reel and the symbol “BE1 (bell 1)” of the symbol number 4 can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage), the symbol is Stops at the winning line (lower row). Next, when the second stop is the middle reel 13M and the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol "R7 (red 7)" of the symbol number 2 can be pulled into the winning line (middle), the symbol is won. Stop at the line (middle). Finally, if the left stop switch 21L is operated within the range where the third stop is the left reel 13L and the symbol "R7 (red 7)" of symbol number 1 can be pulled into the winning line (upper row), the symbol is the winning line. Stop at (upper). That is, the "R7RP1" is won. The winning combination is a symbol combination in which the symbols “R7 (red 7)” or “FR7 (fake red 7)” are arranged in the middle line.

  In addition, the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" which is a winning symbol of the right reel 13R of "R7RP1" is arranged in a range that can be pulled into the winning line (lower stage) no matter what timing the right stop switch 21R is operated. However, the symbol "R7 (red 7)" which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M cannot be drawn into the winning line (middle stage) depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. In this case, the stop control unit 105 performs reel stop control so as to draw the symbol “CH (cherry)”, which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M of “R7RP2”, to the winning line (middle stage). The symbol "CH (cherry)" on the middle reel 13M has a complementary arrangement with the symbol "R7 (red 7)", and the symbol "R7 (red 7)" cannot be drawn to the pay line (middle row). When the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the timing, the symbol "CH (cherry)" can be pulled into the winning line without fail.

  However, the symbol "R7 (red 7)" which is a common winning symbol of the left reel 13L of "R7RP1" and "R7RP2" cannot be drawn into the winning line (upper row) depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. Therefore, when the symbol "R7 (red 7)" cannot be drawn in, the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with "R7RP3" to "R7RP10" as the next priority winning combination. Even when the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M and it is not possible to win the prize of either "R7RP1" or "R7RP2", "R7RP3" to "R7RP10" are selected according to the operation timing of the left reel 13L. Is configured to win any of the. Therefore, when the winning group “RPBB1” is won, if the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M in the pushing order, “R7RP1” -in accordance with the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Be sure to win one of the "R7RP10". Furthermore, if you press the symbol "R7 (red 7)", you win the "R7RP1" in which the symbols "R7 (red 7)" or "FR7 (fake red 7)" are lined up in the middle line.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control unit 105 controls the reel stop so that the "basic rep" is preferentially won. As described above, since the “basic lip” is not missed, when the winning group is won, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R. Be sure to win one of the roles that belong to the "basic lip" depending on the operation timing. In the following, “R7RP1” to “R7RP10” may be collectively referred to as “red 7 complete replay”.

  The winning group "RPBB2" is composed of "red 7 complete replay", "basic rep" and "CRP1". In this case, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order in which the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control means 105 preferentially sets "R7RP3" and "R7RP4". Perform reel control to win the prize. The winning symbol of "R7RP3" is "RP (replay): left reel 13L"-"R7 (red 7): middle reel 13M"-"BE1 (bell 1): right reel 13R". Therefore, for example, when the right stop switch 21R is operated in a range in which the right reel 13R is the first stop reel and the symbol “BE1 (bell 1)” of the symbol number 4 can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage), the symbol is Stops at the winning line (lower row). Next, when the second stop is the middle reel 13M and the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol "R7 (red 7)" of the symbol number 2 can be pulled into the winning line (middle), the symbol is won. Stop at the line (middle). Finally, when the left stop switch 21L is operated within a range in which the third stop is the left reel 13L and the symbol "RP (replay)" with the symbol number 0 can be pulled into the winning line (upper row), the symbol is the winning line ( Stop). That is, the "R7RP3" is won. The winning combination is a symbol combination in which the symbols “R7 (red 7)” or “FR7 (fake red 7)” are arranged on the middle line and the line rising to the right.

  The symbol "BE1", which is the winning symbol of the right reel 13R of "R7RP3", is arranged in a range that can be pulled into the winning line (lower stage) no matter what timing the right stop switch 21R is operated. The symbol "R7 (red 7)", which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M, cannot be drawn into the winning line (middle stage) depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control so as to draw the symbol "CH (cherry)", which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M of "R7RP4", to the winning line (middle stage). The symbol "CH (cherry)" on the middle reel 13M has a complementary arrangement with the symbol "R7 (red 7)", and the symbol "R7 (red 7)" cannot be drawn to the pay line (middle row). When the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the timing, the symbol "CH (cherry)" can be pulled into the winning line without fail.

  Further, the symbol "RP (replay)", which is a common winning symbol of the left reel 13L of "R7RP3" and "R7RP4", can be drawn into the winning line (upper row) regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. is there. Therefore, when the first stop is the middle reel 13M or the right reel 13R and the symbol "R7 (red 7)" cannot be drawn in the middle reel 13M, the "R7RP4" is always won.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control unit 105 controls the reel stop so that the "basic rep" is preferentially won. As described above, since the “basic lip” is not missed, when the winning group is won, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R. Be sure to win one of the roles that belong to the "basic lip" depending on the operation timing.

  "RPS1" is composed of "WRP1" to "WRP5", "R7RP5", "R7RP6", and "basic lip". In this case, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a pressing order in which the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control means 105 causes the reels to preferentially win "WRP1". Take control. The winning symbol of "WRP1" is "RP (replay)"-"BAR (bar)"-"BE1 (bell 1)". Therefore, for example, when the right stop switch 21R is operated in a range in which the right reel 13R is the first stop reel and the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" of the symbol number 14 can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage), the symbol is Stops at the winning line (lower row). Next, when the second stop is the middle reel 13M and the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol "BAR (bar)" of the symbol number 8 can be pulled into the winning line (middle), the symbol is the winning line. Stop at (middle). Finally, when the left stop switch 21L is operated within a range in which the third stop is the left reel 13L and the symbol “RP (replay)” of the symbol number 10 can be pulled into the winning line (upper row), the symbol is the winning line ( Stop). That is, "WRP1" is won. The winning combination is a symbol combination in which the symbols “BAR” are arranged in the middle line.

  In addition, the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)", which is the winning symbol of the right reel 13R of "WRP1", is arranged in a range that can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage) no matter what timing the right stop switch 21R is operated. However, the symbol "BAR (bar)" which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M cannot be drawn into the winning line (middle stage) depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with "WRP2" to "WRP5" as the next priority winning combination. Even if the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M and the "WRP1" cannot be won, one of the "WRP2" to "WRP5" is won according to the operation timing of the left reel 13L. Is configured. Therefore, when the winning group "RPS1" is won and the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M in the pushing order, "WRP1" ~ depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Be sure to win one of the "WRP5". Furthermore, if the symbol "BAR (bar)" is pressed, the player wins "WRP1" in which the symbol "BAR (bar)" is lined up in the middle line.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control unit 105 controls the reel stop so that the "basic rep" is preferentially won. As described above, since the “basic lip” is not missed, when the winning group is won, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R. Be sure to win one of the roles that belong to the "basic lip" depending on the operation timing. In the following, “WRP1” to “WRP5”, “R7RP5”, and “R7RP6” may be collectively referred to as “BAR complete replay”.

  The "RPS2" is composed of "BAR complete replay", "basic rep", and "CRP1". In this case, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pushing order in which the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control means 105 causes the reels so that "WRP3" is preferentially won. Take control. The winning symbol of "WRP3" is "BE1 (bell 1)"-"BAR (bar)"-"BE1 (bell 1)". Therefore, for example, when the right stop switch 21R is operated in a range in which the right reel 13R is the first stop reel and the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" of the symbol number 14 can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage), the symbol is Stops at the winning line (lower row). Next, when the second stop is the middle reel 13M and the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol "BAR (bar)" of the symbol number 8 can be pulled into the winning line (middle), the symbol is the winning line. Stop at (middle). Finally, the third stop is the left reel 13L, and if the left stop switch 21L is operated within a range in which the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)" of the symbol number 9 can be pulled into the winning line (upper row), the symbol is the winning line. Stop at (upper). That is, the "WRP3" is won. In the winning combination, the symbol "BAR (bar)" is stopped in the middle of each of the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, and the symbol "BAR (bar)" is stopped in the lower of the left reel 13L. That is, in the right reel 13R and the middle reel 13M, the symbol "BAR (bar)" is stopped in the middle row and becomes a tempai, but the symbol "BAR (bar)" is stopped in the lower row of the left reel 13L and the symbol is displayed in the middle row. It is a symbol combination in which "BAR" is not aligned.

  In addition, the symbol "BE1 (bell 1)", which is the winning symbol of the right reel 13R of "WRP3", is arranged in a range that can be drawn into the winning line (lower stage) no matter what timing the right stop switch 21R is operated. However, the symbol "BAR (bar)" which is the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M cannot be drawn into the winning line (middle stage) depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 21M. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with "WRP1", "WRP2", "WRP4", and "WRP5" as the next priority winning combination. In this embodiment, even when the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M and the "WRP3" cannot be won, "WRP1", "WRP2", or "WRP1" depending on the operation timing of the left reel 13L, It is configured to win one of "WRP4" and "WRP5". Therefore, when the winning group "RPS2" is won and the first stop is the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M in the pushing order, "WRP1" ~ depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Be sure to win one of the "WRP5". Further, if the design "BAR (bar)" is pressed, the design "BAR (bar)" is tempted on the middle line, but the result "WRP3" is not obtained.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R or the middle reel 13M, the stop control unit 105 controls the reel stop so that the "basic rep" is preferentially won. As described above, since the “basic lip” is not missed, when the winning group is won, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are pressed when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R. Be sure to win one of the roles that belong to the "basic lip" depending on the operation timing.

  The winning group “RPCH1” is composed of “CRP1”. Since "CRP1" is in a range in which the winning symbol can be drawn in regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the winning symbol is always won (no dropout).

  The winning group “RPCH2” is composed of “CRP2” to “CRP7”. Since “CRP2” to “CRP7” will not be missed, if the winning group is won, be sure to select “CRP2” to “CRP7” depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Win a prize.

  The winning group “BE1” is composed of “BE1” to “BE11” and “CH1”. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that "BE1" to "BE11" are preferentially won. Since "BE1" to "BE11" are not missed, if any one of the winning groups is won, be sure to select any of "BE1" to "BE11" depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Win a prize. In the following, “BE1” to “BE11” may be collectively referred to as “bell”.

  The winning group "BE2" is composed of "bells". As mentioned above, “Bell” will not be missed, so if you win the winning group, you must win one of the roles belonging to “Bell” according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. To do.

  The winning group “CH1” includes “CH1” to “CH8”, “PZ9” to “PZ12”, “PZ21” to “PZ36”, “PZ37” to “PZ52”, “ATA2”, “ATA5” to “ATA7”. It is composed of. The winning winning group is set as a winning combination (winning group). Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, one of the constituent winning hands is surely won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  The winning group "CH2" is composed of "CH9" to "CH19" and "PZX22". The winning winning group is provided as a winning combination (winning group). Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, one of the constituent winning hands is surely won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  The winning group “WML” is composed of “WM1” to “WM4”. "WM1" to "WM4" have the winning symbols "WML" because the winning symbols are arranged at positions that cannot be won in any of them depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Despite being won, some players will be unable to win the prize.

  The winning group “JAC1” includes “BE1” to “BE11”, “WM1” to “WM4”, “CH1” to “CH19”, “ATA1” to “ATA10”, “ATB1” to “ATB16”, “PZ1”. ”To“ PZ52 ”and“ PZX1 ”to“ PZX22 ”. The winning winning group is provided as a winning combination (winning group). Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, one of the constituent winning hands is surely won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Note that the winning combination group is targeted for the combination lottery only in the bonus game state (RBB1, RBB2).

  The winning group “JAC2” is composed of “CH1” to “CH19”, “ATA1” to “ATA10”, “ATB1” to “ATB16”, “PZ1” to “PZ52”, “PZX1” to “PZX22”. ing. The winning winning group is provided as a winning combination (winning group). Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, one of the constituent winning hands is surely won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Note that the winning combination group is targeted for the combination lottery only in the bonus game state (RBB1, RBB2).

  The winning group “ATLC1” includes “BE1”, “ATA1”, “ATA2”, “ATB1”, “ATB4”, “ATB7”, “ATB8”, “PZ5”, “PZ8”, “PZ11”, “PZ12”. , "PZX1" to "PZX4", "PZX20", "PZX22", "CH7", "CH8", "CH11", "CH12". In this case, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the reels so that "BE1" is preferentially won in the pressing order (left → middle → right). "BE1" is in the range in which the winning symbols can be drawn in, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, so that "BE1" is always "when pressed" (left → middle → right). Win the BE1 ”(no missing). On the other hand, in the case of the pushing order (left → right → middle), reel stop control is performed so that the winning combination other than “BE1” among the constituent winning combinations is preferentially won. And, no matter what timing each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is operated, be sure to win one of the constituent roles other than "BE1" (all payout of one medal: one role) Is configured (without omission). Also in the case of other pressing orders, reel stop control is performed so that constituent components other than "BE1" are preferentially won. However, unlike the case of pushing order (left → right → middle), it is impossible to win a constituent role other than “BE1” with a probability of 1/2 and to win any constituent role with a probability of 1/2. Some omissions occur (see FIG. 10).

  That is, when the winning group “ARLC1” is won, when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the correct answer pressing order (left → middle → right), which is one of the 6-option pressing order. Wins "BE1", which allows you to pay out 10 medals. In addition, if the correct pressing order is the same as that of the first stop reel, but if the other pressing order is different (left → right → middle), any of the constituent roles (single role) other than "BE1" Be sure to win the crab. If the pressing order is already different from the correct pressing order at the time of the first stop, there are cases where one medal is paid out and cases where a miss is generated.

  In addition, similar reel stop control is performed for other push-order AT combinations (winning combination group “ATLC2”: $ 10 to “ATRC2”: $ 1B). That is, as shown in FIG. 10, also in the other pressing order AT combination, one of the six pressing orders is set as the correct pressing order, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the pressing order. In this case, among the constituent winning combinations, a winning combination (one of “BE1” to “BE10”) from which 10 payouts can be obtained is won. Further, the first stop reel has the same push order as the correct answer, but if the other push orders are different, a winning combination is surely won in one constituent medal. In addition, when the pressing order of the correct answer is different at the time of the first stop reel, the payout of one medal may be obtained, and the missing part in which none of the constituent roles can be won occurs.

(7) Section shift control means 106
The section shift control means 106 is a non-advantageous section that does not allow the push order AT combination (the winning combination group “ATLC1 ($ 10)” to “ATRC2 ($ 1B)”) to be notified when the winning order is correct. It controls the transition between the advantageous section in which it is possible to notify the pushing order of the correct answer, and comprises an advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a and an increased number counting means 106b. The advantageous section and the non-advantageous section are set for each gaming state (RT0, RBB1F, RBB2F, RBB1, RBB2).

  Specifically, in this embodiment, the section shift control unit 106 is a non-advantageous section and is a 3-bet bet at the initial RT (RT0), or is a 3-bet bet inside the bonus (RBB2F). In some cases, when a winning group other than the winning groups “ALL1”, “ALL2”, and losing is won, the winning section is always shifted to the advantageous section. At this time, the section shift control unit 106 sets the advantageous section flag set in the flag storage area 652 to ON. In addition, even if the winning group "ALL1", "ALL2", or a winning group other than the winning group is won in other gaming states or the number of bets is two, the section shift control means 106 is , Do not shift to the advantageous section.

  The transition condition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section can be changed as appropriate. For example, in this embodiment, when a winning group other than the winning groups “ALL1”, “ALL2”, and losing is won, it is arranged to shift to the advantageous section without fail, but these winning groups (winning groups) A transition lottery may be performed at the time of winning, and the advantageous section may be shifted only when the lottery is won. Further, the type of winning combination group to be shifted to the advantageous section may be changed. Moreover, you may change the kind of the game state used as the conditions of transfer to an advantageous area.

  Further, when the section transition control means 106 is (i) not winning in the AT lottery in the ending standby state after the end of the pseudo BNS (pseudo bonus) described later, (ii) the ending condition of the AT game described later is satisfied. In this case, (iii) when the duration of the advantageous section exceeds the upper limit (for example, 1500 games), (iv) when the number of medals increased in the advantageous section exceeds a specified value (for example, 2400), In the cases of i) to (iv), the advantageous section is shifted to the non-advantageous section. At this time, the section shift control means 106 sets the advantageous section lamp to OFF.

a) Advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a
The advantageous zone continuous game number counting means 106a counts the number of continuous games in the advantageous zone, and counts the number of games from when the advantageous zone flag is set to ON until the flag is set to OFF. Specifically, the advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a increments the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 653 set in the RWM 65 by +1 every time one game is consumed after the advantageous section flag is set to ON. .. In addition, the advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a clears the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 653 to 0 when the advantageous section lamp is set from ON to OFF.

b) Increased number counting means 106b
The increased number counting means 106b counts the increased number of medals possessed by the player. When the medals have been paid out, the increased number-of-medals counting unit 106b adds the number of medals to the increased medal number counter 658 set in the RWM 65. Further, when the number of medals is inserted, the increased number counting means 106b subtracts the count value of the number-of-added-medals counter 658 by that number. However, when it becomes negative, the count value of 0 is maintained. In addition, when the count value of the increased medal number counter 658 reaches the upper limit value (2400 coins) and the advantageous zone flag is set from ON to OFF, the increased number counter 658 counts the increased medal number counter 658. Is cleared to 0.

(8) CZ transfer lottery means 107
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the non-advantageous section is shifted to the advantageous section, the normal state of the advantageous section is first shifted. The normal state is classified into a state where the degree of expectation of transition to CZ (chance zone) is low (CZ normal), a state of high degree of expectation of transition to CZ (high accuracy of CZ), and CZ. In each state, The AT lottery described later is performed. In the CZ, for example, during 10 games, an AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the AT period in each game. The AT period is a period during which the correct pushing order can be notified at the time of winning the push order AT combination (the winning combination group “ATLC1 ($ 10)” to “ATRC2 ($ 1B)”), which will be described in detail later. Therefore, it is provided as an advantageous zone that is easier to shift to the AT period than normal or high accuracy.

  The CZ shift lottery means 107 determines by lottery whether or not to shift to the CZ in the CZ normal or CZ high accuracy of the advantageous section. For example, the CZ transition lottery means 107 performs the CZ transition lottery in each game in the CZ normal or CZ high accuracy. In the CZ transition lottery, the winning probability is set according to the type of winning combination group in both CZ normal and CZ high probability. However, the winning probability is set to a higher value in the highly accurate CZ than in the normal CZ. When the CZ shift lottery means 107 wins the CZ shift lottery, it sets the CZ flag provided in the flag storage area 652 to ON and shifts to the CZ from the next game. The flag is set to OFF when CZ ends.

(9) Pseudo bonus lottery means 108
In this embodiment, during a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games), as in the AT period, at the time of winning the push order AT combination (winning group “ATLC1 ($ 10)” to “ATRC2 ($ 1B)”). A pseudo bonus is provided to notify the correct pressing order. The pseudo bonus lottery means 108 determines whether or not to shift to the pseudo bonus during the normal state of the advantageous section and during the AT period by lottery (pseudo bonus shift lottery). In the pseudo bonus transfer lottery, the winning probability is set, for example, according to the winning combination lottery result. When the pseudo bonus transfer lottery is won, the pseudo bonus lottery means 108 sets the pseudo bonus flag provided in the flag storage area 652 to ON. The flag is set to OFF when the pseudo bonus ends.

(10) AT lottery means 109
The AT lottery means 109 determines by lottery (AT lottery) whether or not to shift to the AT period in the advantageous section. In this embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in (i) the normal state of the advantageous section (CZ normal, CZ high accuracy, CZ), (ii) during the pseudo bonus, and (iii) in the end standby state. When winning the AT lottery, the AT lottery means 109 sets the AT flag provided in the flag storage area 652 to ON.

  For example, in the AT lottery in the normal state (CZ normal, CZ high accuracy), the winning lottery results are those of the winning group “PRCH1”, “RPCH2”, “CH1”, “CH2”, and “WML” (so-called rare role). An AT lottery will be held when one of them is won. Here, the winning probability is set for each type of winning combination group. Further, in the CZ, AT lottery is performed in each game. Here, the winning probability is set individually for each of the winning lottery results (including loss), and the winning probability is set higher as the winning combination (winning group) has a lower winning probability.

  During the pseudo bonus, the AT lottery is performed in each game as in the CZ. In this embodiment, when the pseudo bonus transfer lottery is won, the bonus preparation state is entered. The bonus preparation state is a waiting period until the winning group “RPBB1” or “RPBB2” is won, and a pseudo bonus is set from the game next to the winning group “RPBB1” or “RPBB2” winning game. Counting of a predetermined number of games (30 games) is started.

  When the winning group “RPBB1” or “RPBB2” is won in the bonus preparation state, the liquid crystal display 27 displays the characters “Please press the reverse key to align the red 7 symbols!” And the symbol “” to the player. R7 (red 7) "is notified. As described above, when the player wins the winning group “RPBB1” and presses the symbol “R7 (red 7)” by pressing backward, the symbol “R7 (red 7)” or “FR7 (fake red 7) is displayed on the middle line. ) ”Are available. On the other hand, when you win the winning group “RPBB2” and press the design “R7 (red 7)” with a reverse push, the design “R7 (red 7)” or “FR7 (fake Red 7) ”is available. That is, the pseudo bonus won in the normal state of the advantageous section is started when the red 7 symbols are aligned on the predetermined line.

  The AT lottery means 109, for example, sets the winning probability of the AT lottery to be higher in the pseudo bonus in which two lines of red 7 symbols are lined up at the start than in the pseudo bonus in which only one line is lined up with red 7 symbols at the start. Good.

  The end standby state was ended for one game after the pseudo bonus that was won in the normal state ended without being won in the AT lottery, or for any reason other than the AT period limiter (upper limit of continuation period, upper limit of increased number) In the latter one game, the AT lottery means 109 performs an AT revival lottery or an AT period return lottery in this one game. The lottery can be performed by using, for example, an AT lottery table set for each winning lottery result.

(11) AT management means 110
The AT management means 110 manages the game during the AT period, and the first AT management means 110a that manages the continuation / end of the AT (first AT) of the ally character A and the AT (second AT) of the ally character B. The second AT management unit 110b that manages the continuation / end of the ally character C, and the third AT management unit 110c that manages the continuation / end of the AT (third AT) of the ally character C.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the AT (AT period) of this embodiment includes five stages that sequentially transition, a stage start preparation state provided as a preparation state before the start of each stage, and first to fourth stages. A stage clear bonus to be transferred after satisfying the clear condition in each stage and an ending to be transferred after clearing the last stage (the fifth stage) are set. Each stage is set so that three teammate characters work together to defeat the enemy character set for each stage. In each stage, if the HP of the enemy character is exhausted before all of the teammate characters are incapable of battle, the stage is cleared, and a stage clear bonus of 20 games is fixed. When the stage clear bonus ends, the stage start preparation state is entered. That is, the process moves to the next stage. If all the ally characters are unable to battle before the HP of the enemy character runs out, AT ends. When you complete all 5 stages, you will get an ending. The ending ends when either one of 100 games continues, the number of continuous games in the advantageous section exceeds the upper limit (1500 games), or the number of medals increased in the advantageous section exceeds the upper limit (2400). .. That is, when all the stages (first to fifth stages) are cleared, the AT period of 100 games at the maximum is awarded as a clear privilege.

  The teammate characters A to C have different conditions for damaging the HP of the enemy character and for being incapable of battle. That is, the individual ATs of the ally characters A to C having different ending conditions simultaneously proceed, and when all the ATs end, the entire ATs end.

  In this embodiment, the HP of the enemy character on each stage is set to 10000. Therefore, during the AT period, the teammate characters A to C cooperate to reduce the HP (10000) of the enemy character. When the player wins the AT lottery, the AT preparation state is entered, but the AT preparation state continues until the winning group “NRP1” or “NRP2” is won. Then, in the game in which the winning group “NRP1” or “NRP2” is won for the first time in the AT preparation state, the player can select one ally character. For the selected teammate character, the clear conditions are relaxed in the AT (first to third ATs) corresponding to the selected character only for the stage. The HP of the enemy character on each stage may be determined by a lottery at the start of the stage, and the stage clear condition may be changed.

  In the game in which the winning group "RPN1" or "RPN2" is won for the first time in the stage start preparation state, the selection screen of the teammate character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 before the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective. To be done. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a selection screen in which the left side is the ally character A, the center is the ally character B, and the right side is the ally character C is displayed. Then, when the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is enabled and the first stop reel is the left reel 13L in the pushing order, the ally character A can be selected (FIG. 14 (a)). ). Further, when the pressing order is such that the first stop reel is the middle reel 13M, the ally character B can be selected (FIG. 14 (b)). Further, when the pressing order is such that the first stop reel is the right reel 13R, the ally character C can be selected (FIG. 14 (c)).

  When the winning group “RPN1” or “RPN2” is won, if the first stop is the pushing order in which the left reel 13L is selected, the player will always win “NRP1” or “NRP2”. The winning mode of these winning combinations is a symbol combination in which the symbol “RP (replay)” is aligned in the middle line (FIG. 10, FIG. 14 (a)). Also, when the winning groups “RPN1” and “RPN2” are won, if the first stop is the middle reel 13M in the pushing order, the prizes “NRP3” to “NRP6” are always won. The winning mode of these winning combinations is a symbol combination in which the symbol “RP (replay)” is lined up in the line rising to the right (FIG. 10, FIG. 14B). Further, when the winning groups “RPN1” and “RPN2” are won, if the first stop is the right reel 13R in the pushing order, the “NRP7” is always won. The winning mode of this winning combination is a symbol combination in which the symbol “RP (replay)” is aligned on the line descending to the right (FIG. 10, FIG. 14C).

  Therefore, the AT management means 110 is selected by the player based on the symbol combination determined by the symbol determination means 112 described later in the game in which the winning group “RPN1” or “RPN2” is won for the first time in the AT preparation state. Determine the type of teammate character. Then, the AT management means 110 sets the continuation condition of the ATs (first to third ATs) corresponding to the teammate character selected by the player more advantageously than when not selected. How it is advantageous will be described together with the description of each AT described later. When the teammate character selection is completed in the stage start preparation state, the stage starts from the next game. In this embodiment, the type of teammate character can be selected in the stage start preparation state at the beginning of each of the first to fourth stages.

(11-1) First AT management means 110a
The first AT has a continuous lottery type game property in which if the player wins in the continuous lottery at the end of the set, it continues to the next set. The first AT management means 110a (corresponding to the "determination means" of the present invention) normally sets 20 games as the number of games in one set, and if the teammate character A is selected in the stage start preparation state, 10 games are set. Increase and set 30 games. Further, the first AT management means 110a determines the pt of the first reference pt (point) to be given in each game in the set. The assigned pt of the first reference pt is determined according to the winning combination lottery result.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, when a winning order AT hand (winning group “ATLC1 ($ 10)” to “ATRC2 ($ 1B)”) is won, If the winning order is correct, and if you win one of the winning groups “BE1” and “BE2” where you can get 10 medals regardless of the pressing order, the first criterion pt is If 1 point is awarded and this is the correct answer twice in succession (winning group “BE1” and “BE2” regardless of success or failure), 5 points will be given, and if correct answer is 3 times in succession, 10 points will be given consecutively. The more points you give, the more points you get.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12B, in principle, it is treated as a continuous push combination AT or a winning combination group “BE1” or “BE2”. Continuing to win the winning groups “BE1” and “BE2”, and increasing the first criteria pt to be granted, provided that they continue to answer correctly (winning groups “BE1” and “BE2” regardless of success or failure). It is like this. If the other winning group is won during the winning of the pushing order AT role (or the winning group “BE1”, “BE2”), the pushing order AT role or the winning group “BE1”, “BE2” However, if the pressing order is incorrect, the increase in the number of points given by the continuous correct answer is returned to the starting point (returns to the first consecutive row).

  Further, in this embodiment, during the AT period, a case where all of the correct push order is notified when the push order AT combination is elected (complete notification) and a case where only part thereof is notified (partial notification) There is. Here, if the complete notification is given when the push order AT combination is won, the first AT management means 110a determines that the push order is correct regardless of the actual push order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. A reference pt is given (corresponding to the "special processing" of the present invention). That is, in the case of complete notification, even if the player does not follow the notification and the pressing order is incorrect, the first reference pt is given as the correct pressing order. If the push order AT combination is won in the previous game and the push order is correct, if the push order AT combination is won in the next game and the notification is complete, the first AT management means 110a causes the game to proceed. The first reference pt is given as a correct answer twice consecutively regardless of the pressing order of. The first AT management means 110a determines whether or not the notification is complete notification based on the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111 described later.

  On the other hand, in the case of partial notification in this embodiment, only the pressing order of the first stop reels is notified, but in this case, the first AT management means 110a obtains 10 payouts according to the determination result by the symbol determination means 112. Based on whether or not the winning combination is won, it is determined whether or not the pressing order is correct. That is, when the first AT management means 110a determines that the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111 at the time of winning the push order AT combination is not complete notification, the symbols after all reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped The success or failure of the pushing order is determined based on the determination result by the determination unit 112.

  However, in the case of a so-called rare combination (winning combination group “RPBB1” “RPBB2” “RPS1” “RPS2” “RPCH1” “RPCH2” “CH1” “CH2” “WML”), continuous handling is suspended. That is, when the winning order AT role or the winning group "BE1" or "BE2" is won, the pushing order is correctly answered, the rare game is won in the next game, and the pushing order AT role or the winning role in the next game. When the pressing order is correct when the groups “BE1” and “BE2” are won, the first standard pt to be given is treated as two consecutive correct answers. In addition, when the rare combination is won, the first reference pt is given by a separate lottery.

  However, if the first AT management means 110a wins the push order AT hand in the final game of the first AT set (for example, the 20th normal game), the notification manner determined by the notification manner determination means 111 is completely notified. Even if it is partial notification, the first reference pt is given as the correct pressing order (corresponding to the "special processing" of the present invention). By doing so, in the ending game of each set of the first AT, continuous lottery to the next set can be performed before all reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped, and an effect according to the result can be performed. it can.

  When the granted pt of the first reference pt is determined, the first AT management means 110a stores the applied pt in the first reference pt counter 655 and subtracts the same value as the pt number from the HP management counter 654 (stage). pt subtraction). When a new number of grants of the first reference pt is newly determined in the next game or the like, the first AT management means 110a adds the grant pt to the first reference pt counter 655 each time and sets the same value as the pt number. Subtract from the HP management counter 654.

  When the number of set games set in the set is exhausted, the first AT management means 110a continues to the next set based on the count value of the first reference pt counter 655 (cumulative first reference pt) at that time. A continuous lottery to decide whether or not to do it is performed. In this embodiment, if the cumulative first reference pt ≧ 100pt, there is a 100% probability of continuing to the next set, and if the cumulative first reference pt <100pt, the next set is set as the pt number increases. The probability of continuation to (1) is increased (FIG. 11 (a)). If you win the continuous lottery, it will move to the next set. At this time, the first AT management means 110a clears the first reference pt counter 655 to "0". The first AT management means 110a repeats these processes until the condition for ending the first AT that the continuous lottery is not won is satisfied. The first AT management means 110a sets the first AT flag to OFF when the termination condition of the first AT is satisfied, and waits until the next stage is reached.

  If the teammate character A is selected at the start of the stage (stage start preparation state), one set of 30 games will be maintained as long as the player stays on the stage even if they continue to the next set. To be done. With such a configuration, as the number of games in one set increases, the chances of acquiring the first reference pt increase, so that when the teammate character A is selected in the stage start preparation state, it is more than when it is not selected. However, it is advantageous to continue the first AT.

  When the first AT managing means 110a satisfies the clear condition of the stage (HP = “0” of the enemy character), the first AT is cleared even if the first AT is continuing, and the number of set games is determined. Start again. Further, when the first AT is completed when the clear condition of the stage is satisfied, the first AT management means 110a sets the first AT flag to ON and starts again from the determination of the number of set games (first AT). Revival start). In this embodiment, the acquired first reference pt and the subtraction pt of the stage pt are set to be the same. However, for example, a value twice the acquired first reference pt is subtracted from the stage pt. For example, the obtained first reference pt may be different from the subtraction pt of the stage pt.

(11-2) Second AT management means 110b
The second AT performs a mission acquisition lottery during each set during the set, and if the mission is not acquired during the set, it is ended, and if it is acquired, it is determined that the next set is continued and the mission game (this In the embodiment, the game property is that 10 games are added (FIG. 11B). The second AT management means 110b normally sets 20 games as the number of games in one set, and when the teammate character B is selected in the stage start preparation state, increases by 10 games and sets 30 games.

  Further, the second AT management means 110b performs a mission acquisition lottery in each game in the set. If you win in the mission acquisition lottery, the continuation to the next set is confirmed. At this time, the second AT management means 110b subtracts a predetermined pt (for example, 100 pt) from the HP management counter 654 and determines the type of mission to be performed in the mission game by lottery. Examples of the mission include winning the winning group “RPN1” or “RPN2” three times during the mission game, and winning the push order AT role three times during the mission game. When the mission is achieved in the mission game, the second AT management means 110b further subtracts a predetermined pt (for example, 100 pt) from the HP management counter 654 as a mission achievement bonus. At the end of the mission game, the next set continues regardless of whether or not the mission is completed. The second AT management means 110b repeats these processes until the condition for ending the second AT that the mission acquisition lottery is not won before the number of set games is exhausted is satisfied.

  When the second AT termination condition is satisfied, the second AT management means 110b sets the second AT flag to OFF and waits for the next stage. When the clear condition of the stage (HP of the enemy character = “0”) is satisfied, the second AT management means 110b clears the second AT even if the second AT is continuing and determines the number of set games. To start again. In addition, when the second AT is finished when the clear condition of the stage is checked, the second AT management means 110b sets the second AT flag to ON and starts again from the determination of the number of set games (second AT). Revival start).

  Note that if the teammate character B is selected at the start of the stage (stage start preparation state), as long as the player stays on the stage, even if the team continues to the next set, 30 games per set are maintained. To be done. With such a configuration, as the number of games in one set increases, the chance of acquiring a mission increases. Therefore, when the teammate character B is selected in the stage start preparation state, the second AT of the second AT is selected more than when it is not selected. Continuation is advantageous.

(11-3) Third AT management means 110c
If the third AT is in the correct push order when a partial notification is given when the push order AT combination is won, one point is given as the second reference pt. When the cumulative number of the second reference pt reaches 2 points before the number of times of the incorrect answer pushing order when the partial notification is made becomes three, the continuation to the next set is confirmed. On the other hand, the game characteristic is that the game ends when the number of incorrect answers reaches 3 before the cumulative total of the second reference pt reaches 2 points. Even if the winning order AT combination is not won, if the rare combination is won, the second standard pt is given by lottery. However, when the teammate character C is selected in the stage start preparation state, the number of incorrect answers which is the ending condition of the third AT increases to 5.

  Here, as in the case of the first AT, the third AT management means 110c determines, based on the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111, whether or not there is partial notification when the push order AT combination is won. .. Then, if all reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped in the game, the third AT management means 110c determines that the result of the determination by the symbol determination means 112 is a second winning criterion, if a winning combination of 10 coins is won. The count value of the pt counter 656 is incremented by +1. In addition, the third AT management means 110c also adds a predetermined value to the count value of the second reference pt counter 656 even when the second reference pt-giving lottery when the rare combination is won is won. On the other hand, when the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped in the game, the third AT management means 110c determines that the result of the determination by the symbol determination means 112 is that the winning combination of 10 coins has not been won. The count value of the correct answer number counter 657 is incremented by +1.

  When the count value of the second reference pt counter 656 (cumulative second reference pt) becomes 2pt during the setting, the next game is shifted to the subtraction specialized state. When the third AT management means 110c shifts to the subtraction specialized state, it performs a lottery (subtraction lottery) for subtracting the stage pt in each game, and subtracts the stage pt by the pt number determined by the lottery. The subtraction specialization state is 3 games / 1 set, and when the final game continuation lottery is won, the subtraction specialization state continues to the next set (next subtraction specialization state set). The third AT management means 110c also performs continuous lottery in the subtraction specialized state.

  When the subtraction specialization state ends, the process moves to the next set. At this time, the third AT managing means 110c clears the count values of the second reference pt counter 656 and the incorrect answer number counter 657 to "0". Before the cumulative total of the second reference pt reaches 2 points, the third AT management means 110c determines that the number of times the pushing order is incorrect 3 times (allied character when the pushing order AT hand is elected (partial notification)). These processes are repeated until the ending condition of the third AT, which is 5 times when C is selected) is satisfied. When the ending condition of the third AT is satisfied, the third AT managing means 110c sets the third AT flag to OFF and waits for the next stage.

  When the clear condition of the stage (HP of the enemy character = “0”) is satisfied, the third AT managing means 110c clears the third AT even if the third AT is continuing and newly sets the third AT. Start. If the third AT is finished when the clear condition of the stage is checked, the third AT managing means 110c sets the third AT flag to ON and starts the third AT again (recovery start of the third AT). ). With such a configuration, when the teammate character B is selected in the stage start preparation state, the number of incorrect answers which is the ending condition of the third AT increases, so that the third AT is continued more than when it is not selected. Will be advantageous.

  In addition, the AT management means 110 performs a pseudo bonus lottery in each game in each stage. When this lottery is won, the pseudo bonus is transferred. When the pseudo bonus is won while the stage is in progress, the clearing of the stage is confirmed even in the state where the HP of the enemy character is not "0". In addition, in each of the first to fifth stages, even if the number of continuing games on the stage is 130 games in a state where all ATs (first AT to third AT) have not ended, the HP of the enemy character is “0”. The clearing of the stage is confirmed regardless of whether or not it is ". Therefore, after the end of the pseudo bonus and after 130 games are continued on the stage, the stage clear bonus is performed. At this time, each of the first AT managing means 110a, the second AT managing means 110b, and the third AT managing means 110c resets a predetermined counter to the default.

  Note that, for example, a pseudo bonus may be given to the condition that the winning group “RPS1” is won while the stage is in progress. In this case, when the winning combination (winning group) is won while the stage is in progress, characters such as "Aim for BAR by reverse pressing!" Are displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify the user to press the button. Good. If the player follows this notification, the symbols “BAR” will be arranged in the middle line, and it will be easy for the player to understand that the pseudo bonus has been won. Further, in this case, even when the winning group “RPS2” is won, it is preferable to display a character such as “Aim for BAR by reverse pressing!” On the liquid crystal display 27 to give a notification prompting the user to press the button. .. In this case, even if the player presses the symbol "BAR (bar)", the symbols "BAR (bar)" are aligned in the middle stages of each of the right reel 13R and the middle reel 13M, and a tempe is made, but finally the middle stage. Since the pattern "BAR" is not lined up on the line, it can be used for fake effect of pseudo bonus.

  Further, the AT management means 110 separately performs a transfer lottery to a specialized zone during the stage start preparation state and during the progress of each stage. When the player has won the transition lottery or is in the stage start preparation state, after selecting the type of the teammate character, for example, while the stage is in progress, the game next to the game won in the transition lottery is transferred to the specialized zone. In the specialization zone, 10 games are fixed, and the HP subtraction lottery for each game enemy character is performed. In the subtraction lottery, different lottery tables are set in accordance with the winning lottery results, and it is easier to select more subtraction points for the rare role. The AT management means 110 also performs the subtraction lottery. When the specialization zone ends, move to the beginning of the stage or the stage in progress.

(12) Notification mode determining means 111
The notification mode determination means 111 determines the notification mode of the push order notified by the notification display 60. In this embodiment, as the notification modes, there are a mode of notifying only the first stop (partial notification mode) and a mode of notifying all the pressing orders (complete notification mode) among the six selection pressing orders. The lighting modes of the two 7-segment displays of the notification display device 60 are configured to be different for each type of notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111. You will be able to know if it is a notification of the type. For example, the notification mode determination unit 111 notifies the notification mode “1” when the first stop notifies the left reel 13L, and the notification mode “2” when the first stop notifies the middle reel 13M. When notifying that one stop is the right reel 13R, the notifying mode is "3", and when notifying the pressing order (left → middle → right), the notifying mode is "4", pressing order (left → right → middle) The notification mode “5” when performing notification, the notification mode “6” when performing notification in the pressing order (middle → left → right), and the notification mode “6” when performing notification in the pressing order (middle → right → left). 7 ", the notification mode" 8 "when the notification of the pressing order (right → left → middle) is performed, and the notification mode" 9 "when the notification of the pressing order (right → middle → left) is determined.

  When the push mode AT combination is won during the advantageous zone, the notification mode determination means 111 determines the notification mode based on the gaming state at the time of winning. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, when the push order AT combination is won during the CZ (chance zone), the notification mode determination unit 111 selects the correct push order according to the type of the push order AT combination. , The notification mode in which only the first stop reel is notified of the pressing order of correct answers (partial notification) is determined. For example, when the winning combination group “ATLC1” is won during the CZ, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode “1” to notify that the first stop reel is the left reel 13L. In this case, selection of the remaining reels results in a correct pressing order in which payout of 10 medals is obtained with a probability of 1/2. However, during CZ, not all notifications are given without exception when the push order AT combination is elected, and for example, the notification is made only with a probability of 1/2. Therefore, when nothing is notified, the notification mode determination unit 111 determines, for example, a notification mode “0” indicating that nothing is notified. Note that the method of determining whether or not the notification mode determining unit 111 performs partial notification during CZ can be set as appropriate. For example, as described above, it may be determined whether or not to carry out the partial notification in the lottery, or the notification / not notification may be alternately performed.

  In addition, when the winning order AT combination is won during the stage start preparation state or during the stage clear bonus, the notification mode determining unit 111 notifies all of the correct pressing order according to the type of the pressing order AT combination (complete notification). Mode). For example, when the winning group “ATLC1” is won during the stage start preparation state or the stage clear bonus, the notification mode determination unit 111 notifies the pressing order (left → middle → right). ". In this case, if the player operates the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R according to the display contents of the notification display device 60, the payout of 10 medals can be surely obtained (press order correct answer). However, in the stage start preparation state or during the stage clear bonus, the complete notification is not given without fail when the push order AT combination is won, and for example, the notification is made only with a probability of 1/2. Therefore, when nothing is notified, the notification mode determination unit 111 determines, for example, a notification mode “0” indicating that nothing is notified. The method of determining whether or not the notification mode determining means 111 performs the complete notification during the stage start preparation state or during the stage clear bonus can be set as appropriate. For example, as described above, it may be determined whether or not the complete notification is performed by the lottery, or the notification / not notification may be alternately performed.

  In addition, the notification mode determination means 111, when the push order AT combination is won during the pseudo bonus (during AT and non-AT), the specialized zone, and the ending, the correct order of the push order according to the type of the push order AT combination. All of the above are decided to be informed (complete notification). Unlike the stage start preparation state or the stage clear bonus during the pseudo bonus (during AT and non-AT) or the special zone, the notification mode is decided so that it will be completely notified when the push order AT combination is won To do.

  Further, when the push order AT combination is won during the progress of each stage, the notification mode determination means 111 always determines the notification mode as either partial notification or complete notification. In this embodiment, the notification mode determining means 111 is configured to alternately perform the complete notification and the partial notification when the push-order AT combination is won during the progress of each stage. Therefore, even if you successively win the push order AT combination in the first AT, it will be partially informed once every two times, and unless you apply the push order of the correct answer with a probability of 1/2 by yourself, the continuous correct answer of the push order. It is not supposed to be. It should be noted that the method for the notification mode determining means 111 to determine whether the notification mode is complete notification or partial notification during the progress of each stage can be set as appropriate. For example, a complete notification may be given at first, a partial notification may be given until the pushing order becomes an incorrect answer, and a complete notification may be given after the incorrect answer.

  In addition, since the winning probability of the pushing order AT combination is set to be high, during the CZ, the stage start preparation state, and the stage clear bonus, all the notifications (partial notification or complete notification) are given when the pressing order AT combination is won. First, the medal increase speed is adjusted. On the other hand, in a state where it is advantageous to the player such as a pseudo bonus or a specialized zone, the player's interest is improved by notifying the player when the winning push AT combination is won.

  Further, during the stage start preparation state, stage clear bonus, and ending, there is no advantage / disadvantage depending on the success or failure of the pushing order of the AT order. Therefore, in some of these states, the notification is not performed to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing that it may be advantageous if the pushing order is correct.

(13) Symbol determining means 112
The symbol determination means 112 of FIG. 4 is based on the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, and the display mode of the symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stopped and controlled by the stop control means 105 is predetermined. It is to determine whether or not the display mode has been set, and whether or not the display result of the symbols when the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is a predetermined winning mode.

(14) Payout control means 113
The payout control unit 113 in FIG. 4 gives a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination unit 112, and the symbol determination unit 112 determines any combination (winning combination group). When it is determined that the prize has been paid out, the hopper unit 43 is operated and the prize is won after the accumulated number of credit medals reaches the upper limit value (for example, 50 in this embodiment). The medals are paid out by the number of payouts corresponding to the winning combination, and the player is given a profit. Further, the payout control means 113 increases the number of credit medals by the above-mentioned payout number, instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43, as the medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  Further, the payout control means 113, when it is determined by the symbol determination means 112 that the winning combination has been won in the re-gaming combination, the specified number (3 or 2) of medals have been inserted, and the winning line of the next game is set. Validate.

(15) Medal control means 114
The medal control means 114 in FIG. 4 switches the medal acceptance and non-acceptance by controlling the operation of the medal selector 48.

(16) Command creating means 115
The command creating means 115 of FIG. 4 has information on the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103, information on the operation of the operation tools operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R and the start switch 19, and the push order AT. Information on whether or not the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in the order of pressing the correct answer when winning the winning combination (winning group “ATLC1 ($ 10)” to “ATRC2 ($ 1B)”) and the state of various flags. Information that can be specified, information that can specify the game state (RT0, RBB1-2F, RBB1-2), information that can specify the type of AT character selected by the player, and the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111. A command for transmitting various kinds of information such as information capable of specifying the type to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) is generated. Then, the command generated by the command creating means 115 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 by the command transmitting means 116 described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63.

(17) Command transmitting means 116
The command transmitting means 116 of FIG. 4 transmits the command including various information created by the command creating means 115 from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73 in one way. In this case, gaming states such as the general game state (RT0, RBB1 to 2F) and bonus game state (RBB1 to 2), the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, the symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 112, each reel 13L, 13M. , 13R rotation / stopped state, the payout state of the slot machine 1 such as the payout state of medals by the payout control means 113, and the like are transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

  In addition, the command transmitting unit 116 transmits a command including data indicating the detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, the operation state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17 to the sub control board 73. Further, the command transmitting means 116 transmits a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated by the player to the sub control board 73.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub-control board 73 of FIG. 4 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63, and performs an effect according to the operation or state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 of FIG. 4 receives a command including various information transmitted by the command transmitting means 116 of the main control board 63. When the command receiving means 200 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function of the sub control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determination means 201 of FIG. 4 is for determining the effect content in accordance with the command received by the command reception means 200. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from the effect patterns preset in accordance with the progress of the game and the result of the lottery of the lottery means 103, and the speakers 31L and 31R are used. Effects such as music to be played and voice to be played, and light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R blinking all at once or individually are determined.

  In addition, when the winning content group “RPN1” or “RPN2” is won for the first time after the stage contents are ready to be moved to the stage start preparation state, all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are rotating, The effect contents of displaying a selection screen for the type of teammate character on the liquid crystal display 27 are determined (see FIG. 14).

  Further, when the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111 is a partial notification mode, for example, when the first stop reel is determined to be in the push order in which the left reel 13L is selected (the notification mode " 1 ”) is determined as the effect content in which“ 1 ?? ”is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27. Further, when the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination section 111 is the complete notification mode, for example, when the press order is determined to be the pressing order (left → middle → right) (the notification mode “ 4 ”) determines the effect contents to display“ 123 ”on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27.

  Further, the effect contents determination means 201 displays an effect screen corresponding to the state on the liquid crystal display 27 during the AT period. The AT normal effect screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is divided into a main display area 27a and a sub-display area 27b at the bottom of the screen (see FIG. 15). The main display area 27a is set as an area for displaying the progress status of any one of the first AT to the third AT, and which AT (first to third AT) to display is switched based on the operation of the player. It is possible. For example, each time the effect button 42 is operated, the ATs that are main-displayed are sequentially switched in the order of the first AT (friend character A) → the second AT (friend character B) → the third AT (friend character C). When the effect button 42 is operated at the time of the third AT, the main display of the first AT is returned. The type of the character selected in the stage start preparation state is displayed in the upper left part of the main display area 27a.

  Further, the left part of the sub display area 27b is a display part of the remaining pt of the stage pt for stage clearing, the center part is a display part of the serif indicating the current state of each AT (first to third ATs), and the right part is the main part. It is a display portion for indicating whether or not the AT which is not displayed is continued. For the remaining pt of the stage pt, the count value of the HP management counter 654 is displayed. The dialogue displayed on the dialogue display section is determined according to the situation of each AT (first to third ATs). In particular, when there is a possibility that the main display is not completed or continued, or a situation such as a special subtraction state or a mission game can occur, the dialogue that indicates that is selected by the effect content determination means 201. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the main display is the first AT or the third AT, and when the second AT is completed, the words "Character B withdraws!" Are displayed on the display portion of the dialogue, and the second AT is displayed. Is notified that the process has ended. When the main display is the 1st AT or the 3rd AT and the remaining games of the set game of the 2nd AT are 5 or less, the words "character B seems to be impatient!" Are displayed on the display part of the dialogue. Then, even if the number of set games for the second AT is running low, the fact that the second AT is in danger of ending is notified when the mission acquisition lottery has not been won. Further, when the main display is the first AT or the third AT and if the player wins the mission acquisition lottery, the words "Character B has won the mission!" Are displayed on the display part of the dialogue to inform that effect.

  Similarly, in the case of other ATs (first and second ATs) that are not displayed on the main display, the lines are displayed in accordance with the highlight. For example, if the main display is the 1st AT and the third AT moves to the specialization subtraction state, the dialogue "Chara C is rampaging" is displayed on the dialogue display (Fig. 15 ( See a)). When the player operates the effect button 42 based on this display, the third AT is switched to the main display, and the effect in the special subtraction state can be seen (see FIG. 15B). In this embodiment, when the main-displayed AT (first to third ATs) is finished, the continuous AT is switched to the main display without operating the effect button 42.

  Regarding the display of the right part of the sub display area 27b, for example, when the second AT that is not being displayed in the main is finished, B of the right part is displayed as ×, and the fact that the second AT is finished is displayed. It is notified (see FIG. 15 (a)).

  Further, the effect content determination means 201 determines the effect content such that the liquid crystal display 27 performs an effect such as whether or not to move to the next set in the ending game of each set of the AT which is main-displayed.

  Then, the effect content determination unit 201 transmits a signal including data regarding the determined effect content to the display control unit 202 and the sound control unit 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control unit 202 of FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27, or the upper lamp unit 33 or the lower lamp unit 37L based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201. , 37R and the like, such as blinking the light sources simultaneously or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control unit 203 of FIG. 4 controls the music, the voice, and the like from the speakers 31L and 31R based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201. ..

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, in the first AT during the AT period, it affects whether or not the cumulative value of the first reference pt continues to the next set, and the first reference pt to be given is the pushing order. Affects the correct push order when winning the AT role. In the case of winning the push order AT role during the AT period, there are a case where the correct push order is completely notified (complete notification) and a case where a part of it is notified (partial notification). If you do not answer correctly to the two choices, the correct answer will not be pushed. Here, in the case of complete notification, the first AT management means 110a assigns the first reference pt as the correct pressing order regardless of whether or not the actual pressing order is correct. Therefore, when the player mistakenly operates the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in a pressing order different from the pressing order of the complete notification, not only the payout of 10 medals, which should be obtained originally, cannot be obtained. It is possible to prevent the player from being given an excessive disadvantage that the first reference pt cannot be obtained.

On the other hand, in the case of partial notification, the first AT management means 110a determines whether or not the pressing order is the correct answer by the symbol combination when all reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped, and gives the first reference pt. Decide whether to do. That is, in the case of partial notification, the first reference pt is not given unless the pressing order is actually correct. Therefore, the notification order of the pressing order by the notification display 60 or the liquid crystal display 27 is appropriately set. A profit (first criterion pt) can be given.
Also, in the case of partial notification, the first reference pt is not given unless the pressing order is actually correct, so the player pays attention to the difference in the type of notification mode by the notification display 60 or the liquid crystal display 27. However, it is possible to play the game with a sense of tension.

  Further, the first AT management means 110a determines whether the notification is a complete notification or a partial notification based on the type of the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 111, and thus it is necessary to provide new data for the determination. Therefore, the processing load of the main CPU 61 can be prevented from increasing.

  Further, when the push order AT combination is won in the final game of each set, the first AT management means 110a does not depend on the type of notification mode (complete notification mode or partial notification mode) determined by the notification mode determination means 111. , 1st reference | standard pt is provided as what was the correct order of pushing. As a result, it is possible to perform an effect (an effect that informs whether or not to move to the next set) in consideration of the result of the lottery of the final game of each set, so that the final game of each set is the first reference pt or the next set. As in the case where it is configured so as not to affect the continuation of the game, the final game is not wasted, and the interest of the player is improved.

  Moreover, since the progress statuses of all ATs (first to third ATs) are not displayed on the effect display screen during the AT period, the progress statuses of one type of ATs are main-displayed. It is easy to understand the progress. Further, if there is a situation (showing place) in which an advantageous / disadvantageous event relating to the continuation of the AT may occur in the AT that is not main-displayed on the effect display screen, that fact is displayed on the sub display unit of the liquid crystal display 27. It In this way, by switching the type of the AT that is main-displayed, it is possible to grasp the AT where the show is occurring in detail, so that the player's interest can be improved.

  In the stage start preparation state, the ally character is selected by selecting the type of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that are stopped for the first time. However, if the winning combination and the ease of winning the prize change depending on the pressing order, the ally character is selected. There may be a disadvantage due to the selection of the character. However, in this embodiment, since the selection of the teammate character is performed at the time of winning the replay combination in which there is no advantage / disadvantage between the pressing orders, the teammate character is not disadvantaged.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, the number of games in each of the first AT and the second AT is fixed at 20 games, but the number of games in the set may be determined by lottery at the start of the set. In this case, at the AT (first AT or second AT) corresponding to the selected teammate character, a predetermined value (for example, 10 games) may be added to the initial number of games determined by the lottery.

  In addition, when the push order AT combination is won in the final game of the first AT set, whether it is a partial notification or a complete notification, depending on the pressing order of the actually operated stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Instead, the first reference pt is given assuming that the pressing order is correct, but in the case of partial notification, the first reference pt may not be given unless the pressing order is actually correct. In this case, in the final game effect, for example, until the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stop, the result of continuous lottery to the next set is notified based on the results up to the game before the final game. .. Then, when all reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped in the final game, a revival lottery is performed based on the success or failure of the pushing order in the final game, and if this is won, a revival effect may be performed. ..

  Further, in this embodiment, as a part of the notification, only the first stop reel is notified of the pressing order of the correct answer, but it may be appropriately changed as long as it notifies a part of the pressing order of the correct answer. it can. For example, a display such as “× ??” may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 or the like to notify the pressing order of the incorrect answer of the first stop reel (the first stop is the incorrect answer for the left reel 13L). .. In this case, when no notification is given, the correct answer is 6 choices, whereas the correct answer is 4 choices.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the AT management means 110 determines the type of the selected teammate character based on the stop symbol combination of the winning game of the winning group “RPN1” or “RPN2” in the stage start preparation state. However, the type of the teammate character may be determined based on the types of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for the first stop reel.

  Further, in the CZ (chance zone), the AT lottery is configured to be performed in each game according to the winning combination lottery result. However, in the CZ, a partial notification is provided instead of a complete notification when the push order AT combination is won. From (see FIG. 13), the AT lottery may be performed based on the number of correct answers in the pushing order when the winning combination is won.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a situation (showing place) that may be advantageous / disadvantageous to continuation occurs in an AT that is not main-displayed, a dialogue indicating that fact is displayed on the sub-display unit of the liquid crystal display 27. However, the means for suggesting that may be, for example, voices from the speakers 31L and 31R.

  If multiple ATs that are not displayed in the main display have the same timing, the priorities are determined in advance and the line with the higher priority is displayed on the sub-display. You may do so. At this time, the dialogue that has a low priority and is not displayed in the game may be displayed in the next game.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first to third ATs have completely different game characteristics so that the ending conditions of each AT are different. For example, although the game characteristics are all the same as the first AT, The number of initial games may be set to be different between the first AT and the third AT, and each AT (first to third AT) may be set to have a different difficulty level for clearing the set.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the value that determines the continuation of the second reference pt to the next set is fixed and the value that shifts to the special subtraction state are fixed, but it may be determined by lottery. Good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the slot machine 1 is described as an example of the gaming machine of the present invention, but the present invention is applied to a gaming machine called a parrot, which is a combination of a slot machine and a pachinko machine. Of course, when the present invention is applied to such a gaming machine, a gaming ball (pachinko ball) as a gaming value may be adopted.
