Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine.

  Conventionally, by operating the start lever with betting medals, internal lottery to determine the winning combination is performed and rotation of multiple reels is started, and by operating the stop button, multiple reels are stopped, There is known a slot machine in which when a winning combination is won in an internal lottery, a medal is paid out as a dividend for the winning combination.

  In many conventional slot machines, as a result of internal lottery, when multiple winning combinations of different winning combinations or winning combinations are re-winned, the plurality of small winning combinations or An assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) function for notifying information (hereinafter referred to as winning navigation information) necessary for winning a winning combination among the re-playing combinations is provided.

The advantageous state transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift from the normal state where the AT function does not operate/the operating frequency is relatively low to the advantageous state where the AT function operates/the operating frequency is relatively high, As a result of the internal lottery in the normal state, it is executed with the winning of the role with a relatively low winning probability (including the case where the winning probability is relatively low as well. It is common to
There is also known a slot machine that changes the winning probability of the advantageous state transition lottery according to the progress of the game in the normal state. For example, a game is equipped with a so-called high-accuracy zone that counts the number of games in a normal state, and when the number of games is within a predetermined range, the number of games exceeds the number of ceiling games. In such a case, there is known one equipped with a so-called ceiling function for confirming the transition to the advantageous state.

Further, there is also known a so-called periodic lottery type slot machine in which a predetermined game number of point acquisition periods are repeated during a normal state and an advantageous state transition lottery is performed based on the number of points held at the end of each point acquisition period. (See Patent Document 1). In the periodic lottery type slot machine, basically, when the internal lottery result is a rare case, the expected point acquisition value is higher than when it is not a rare case, and the number of points held at the end of the point acquisition period is When it is large, the expected value of the advantageous state transition lottery winning is higher than when it is small (in the rare case that the number of points held at the end of the point acquisition period is zero, Only in exceptional cases, the expected value of the advantageous state transition lottery may be increased).
In a general slot machine, as a result of the internal lottery, the advantageous state transition lottery is not performed unless the lottery trigger role is won, so if you are unlucky, the advantageous state transition lottery may not be performed for a long time. is there. On the other hand, the periodic lottery type slot machine has an advantage that the advantageous state transition lottery can be received periodically regardless of luck. In addition, since a series of production sections from the start to the end of each point acquisition period can be adopted, and a production configuration can be adopted in which the game is excited toward the goal of the advantageous state transition lottery at the end, there is also an advantage that the entertainment can be made more interesting.

  The main controller 31 includes a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, an input/output port 44, and a data sending circuit 45. The CPU 41, the ROM 42, the RAM 43, the input/output port 44, and the data transmission circuit 45 are communicatively connected by a bus. The main control device 31 is also provided with a clock generation circuit 46 that gives a clock pulse to the CPU 41 and a random number generation circuit 47 that generates a random number.

  The CPU 41 executes a program stored in the ROM 42 and controls each control target connected to the input/output port 44 based on a signal input from the input/output port 44.

  The RAM 43 is used as a work area when the program is executed by the CPU 41.

  The input/output port (input port) 44 has a MAX bet button 17, a single bet button 18, a start lever 19, a left stop button 20L, a middle stop button 20C, a right stop button 20R, a settlement button 21, and a left reel position detection sensor. 51L, a middle reel position detection sensor 51C, a right reel position detection sensor 51R, a medal insertion sensor 52 and a medal payout sensor 53 are connected.

  In the input/output port (output port) 44, the credit amount indicator CR/instruction monitor NM, the advantageous zone lamp YL, the payout amount indicator 8, the bet amount display LED 9, the replay display LED 10, the start permission/prohibition display LED 11, and the medal acceptance/prohibition display. The LED 12 is connected as a control target. The input/output port (output port) 44 has a left reel drive motor 61L that rotationally drives the left reel 4L, a middle reel drive motor 61C that rotationally drives the middle reel 4C, and a right reel drive motor that rotationally drives the right reel 4R. 61R, a medal block solenoid 62 for switching acceptance/rejection of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 16 and a medal payout drive motor for paying out medals from a medal storage section (not shown) provided in the main body 2. 63 is connected as a control target.

  When the MAX bet button 17, the single bet button 18, the start lever 19, the left stop button 20L, the middle stop button 20C, the right stop button 20R, and the settlement button 21 are operated, the switches or sensors individually provided to them are used. A signal is output and the signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input/output port 44. Also, every time the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R make one revolution, a signal is output from the left reel position detection sensor 51L, the middle reel position detection sensor 51C, and the right reel position detection sensor 51R, respectively. It is input to the CPU 41 via the input/output port 44. Each time one medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 16, a detection signal is output from the medal insertion sensor 52, and the detection signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input/output port 44. Each time the medal payout drive motor 63 is driven and a medal is paid out from the medal storage portion, a signal is output from the medal payout sensor 53, and the signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input/output port 44.

  Stepping motors are used as the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C, and the right reel drive motor 61R. When the start lever 19 is operated after a specified number of medals have been bet on the game, the CPU 41 inputs drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C and the right reel drive motor 61R, and the left The rotation of the reel 4L, the center reel 4C, and the right reel 4R is started. The CPU 41 outputs the output signals of the left reel position detection sensor 51L, the middle reel position detection sensor 51C and the right reel position detection sensor 51R and the drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C and the right reel drive motor 61R. The rotational positions of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are always known based on the number of outputs.

  When the start lever 19 is operated, the CPU 41 executes an internal lottery. Specifically, the CPU 41 acquires a random number from the random number generation circuit 47 at the timing when the start lever 19 is operated. Then, the CPU 41 refers to the lottery table stored in the ROM 42. In the lottery table, the range of random numbers generated by the random number generation circuit 47 (for example, 0 to 65535) is divided into a plurality of lottery sections, and each lottery section is associated with one or more winning combinations. The CPU 41 determines, as a winning combination, a winning combination associated with the lottery section to which the random number acquired from the random number generating circuit 47 belongs. In addition, when the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 47 does not belong to any lottery classification, the CPU 41 determines the result of the internal lottery as unwinning (pure loss).

  After that, when the rotation speeds of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R become constant, the CPU 41 activates the left stop button 20L, the middle stop button 20C, and the right stop button 20R. Then, when the left stop button 20L, the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button 20R are operated, the CPU 41 determines the timing when the left stop button 20L, the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button 20R are operated and the result of the internal lottery. Based on the above, output of drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C and the right reel drive motor 61R is stopped, and the stop of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R is controlled. At this time, the rotation of the left reel 4L is stopped within the pull-in range in which the symbols for the predetermined number of frames move, with the rotational position of the left reel 4L at the timing when the left stop button 20L is pressed as a reference (pull-in control ). The same applies to the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R.

  Then, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination in the internal lottery is lined up on the activated line. If a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is lined up on the activated line, the CPU 41 determines that the winning combination is a prize, and executes a process according to the winning combination.

  Further, the CPU 41 sends various data to the sub control device 32 via the data sending circuit 45. The various data include a bet signal indicating that the conditions for starting the game are satisfied, a lever-on signal indicating that the start lever 19 has been operated, a left stop signal indicating that the left stop button 20L has been operated, and a middle stop button 20C. Is operated, a right stop signal indicating that the right stop button 20R has been operated, data related to the result of the internal lottery or the AT lottery, and a left stop button 20L, a middle stop button 20C and a right stop. Instruction data for instructing the operation order of the button 20R is included.

In the slot machine 1, the payout rate of the slot machine 1 can be set high or low by selecting the set value of 1 from the 6-step set values of 1 to 6. The larger the set value, the higher the payout rate.
Although illustration is omitted, the input/output port (output port) 44 is connected to a setting change switch and a setting change button which are provided in the main body 2 and are operated when selecting (changing) a set value. The setting change switch is a key switch that is turned on by inserting the setting key and rotating it clockwise, and the setting change button is a push button.

  When selecting (changing) the set value, first, with the front door 3 opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting change switch and rotated clockwise to change the operation mode of the slot machine 1 to the setting change mode. When the mode is changed to the setting change mode, the dual-purpose display 7 displays the current set value. In addition, in the setting change mode, each time the setting change button is pressed, the set value displayed on the dual-purpose display unit 7 is incremented by 1 when the set value is 1, and is set to 1 when the set value is 6. I'm supposed to come back. In this way, by operating the setting change button while confirming the set value displayed on the dual-purpose display 7, it is possible to select the desired set value. By operating the start lever 19 while the desired set value is displayed on the dual-purpose display 7, the selection (change) of the set value is completed. Then, rotate the setting key inserted in the setting change switch counterclockwise to return the operation mode to the normal (game) mode, and remove the setting key from the setting change switch to complete selection (change) work. To do.

In addition, the lottery value of the unsuccessful (miss) in the RT3 state is set to 8816 regardless of the set value, and the probability thereof is set to about 1/7.43.

  In addition, in the slot machine 1, when the replay combination and the bonus combination are simultaneously won, the replay combination is won, and when the small combination and the bonus combination are simultaneously won, the winning symbol of the small combination is given priority. Then, the so-called small win priority drawing-in system is adopted in which the winning symbol for the small winning combination is drawn in on the effective line when the winning symbol for the small winning combination cannot be drawn in.

Next, the non-advantageous state and the advantageous state of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the slot machine 1 of the game in which the push order bell is won, the main control device 31 transmits a command for instructing the correct operation sequence to the sub control device 32, and the instruction monitor NM identifies the correct operation sequence. Display information. The sub-control device 32 notifies the player of the correct operation order by displaying on the effect display device 24 and outputting sound from the speakers 25L, 25R, 26L, 26R in accordance with the instruction command from the main control device 31. This is called an instruction function. A state in which the instruction function cannot be operated is called a non-advantageous state, and a state in which it can be operated is called an advantageous state. Hereinafter, the fact that the main control device 31 displays the identification information on the instruction monitor NM and transmits the instruction command to the sub control device 32 is referred to as operation of the instruction function.
In the slot machine 1, in the non-advantageous state, the advantageous state transition lottery is performed only during the RT1-3 state stay. In other words, the RT states other than the RT1-3 states do not shift to the advantageous state, and the non- advantageous state is maintained. In the non-advantageous state, the advantageous state lamp YL is turned off.

When the above-mentioned advantageous state transition lottery is won, it shifts to an advantageous state. The advantageous state is composed of a first advantageous state in which the instruction function is deactivated and a second advantageous state in which the instruction function is activated, and transitions to the first advantageous state when the advantageous state transition lottery is won. .. In the first advantageous state, the advantageous state lamp YL is turned off.
In the first advantageous state, a lottery relating to whether or not to grant the right to shift to the second advantageous state, specifically, the AT execution right granting lottery is executed, and the second advantage is provided on the condition that the lottery is won. Transition to the state. In the game in which the first advantageous state is shifted to the second advantageous state, more specifically, in the game in which the instruction function is activated first, the advantageous state lamp YL is turned on, and thereafter, the turned-on state is maintained until the advantageous state ends. To be done.
Even in the second advantageous state, as in the first advantageous state, the AT execution right grant lottery and the pseudo bonus execution right grant lottery are executed, but when the execution right is exhausted or the limiter function described later operates. Then, the second advantageous state ends, and after the end, the state shifts to the non-advantageous state.

The slot machine 1 is configured so that the number of balls held decreases in the non-advantageous state where the instruction function does not operate and the first advantageous state. In other words, only the second advantageous state in which the indicating function operates is configured as the holding ball increase period.
Further, as described above, the advantageous state transition lottery is performed only in the RT1-3 state, and as shown in FIG. 10, as long as the game is performed with the specified number of three cards, the RT1-3 state cannot be changed to another RT state. Therefore, the slot machine 1 basically stays in the RT1-3 state at all times. In other words, the slot machine 1 is basically a so-called AT machine that always stays in the RT1-3 state.

The slot machine 1 is equipped with a limiter function relating to an advantageous state. Specifically, the limiter function, when the number of running games in the advantageous state reaches 1500 games, or the difference in the advantageous state (the difference between the number of medals and the number of inserted medals in the advantageous state) is 2400 When it exceeds, the advantageous state is forcibly ended and the state is shifted to the non- advantageous state. Therefore, during the advantageous state, a process of counting each game, the number of executed games, and the difference number is executed, and a process of determining whether or not both count values have reached 1500 games/2400. Specifically, in the process of counting the difference number, in each game in the advantageous state, the number of payout numbers in the current difference number counter is added (when the replay is won, the payout number is used as the payout number to execute the game. The number of inserted medals (hereinafter, referred to as the number of inserted medals) is added, and the number of inserted medals in the game is subtracted. If the result is zero or more, it is maintained as it is, and if it is negative, zero is set. .
It should be noted that, hereinafter, the process in the advantageous state will be described using a flowchart. In each flowchart, a process of counting the number of executed games and the number of differences, and determining whether both count values have reached 1500 games/2400 The description of the processing that is performed, that is, the limiter operation determination processing is omitted.

Hereinafter, the transition control between the non-advantageous state, the first advantageous state, and the second advantageous state, and the game control will be described.
<1. Transition from non-advantageous state to first advantageous state>
As described above, the transition from the non-advantageous state to the first advantageous state, that is, the advantageous state transition lottery is executed only during the stay in the RT1-3 state.
Specifically, in the advantageous state transition lottery, if one of the lottery categories is won as a result of the internal lottery during the stay in the RT1-3 state, there is a 100% chance of winning. Therefore, unless the result of the internal lottery during the stay in the RT1-3 state is unsuccessful (miss), the game shifts from the next game to the first advantageous state. As shown in FIG. 12, the probability that the result of the internal lottery during the stay in the RT1-3 state is unsuccessful (miss) is about 1/15. Therefore, if the game is performed with the prescribed number of three cards in the RT1 state, The period of staying in the advantageous state is several games even if you are unlucky, so you will stay in the advantageous state.

<2. First advantageous state>
In the first advantageous state, the point acquisition period of 40 games is repeatedly executed, and the AT transfer right grant lottery is executed according to the number of points held at the end of each point acquisition period. As a result of the lottery, when the AT transfer right is granted, the second advantageous state is entered, while when the AT transfer right is not granted, a new point acquisition period is started.
If the 16th point acquisition period is started without the AT transfer right being granted continuously for the 15th point acquisition period, at the end of the 16th point acquisition period, the AT transfer right grant lottery will be given. The AT transfer right is always granted. Therefore, the so-called ceiling game number in the first advantageous state is 40 games×16 sets=640 games.
Further, as points, there are a first point number P1 relating to the expected degree of winning of the AT transfer right granting lottery and a second point number P2 relating to the advantage degree of the AT state which is started when the AT transfer right granting lottery is won There are two types, and in each point acquisition period, both points P1 and P2 are added according to the internal lottery result in each game.

  As described above, in the first advantageous state, the point acquisition period is repeated up to 16 times. There is a risk that the player will get bored by simply repeating the same point acquisition period. Therefore, in this slot machine 1, in each point acquisition period, the AT transfer right grant lottery and the AT transfer right grant lottery In order to change the advantage degree of the AT state that starts when you win, we prepared 10 scenarios that define the initial values of the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 for each 16 point acquisition period. is doing. Hereinafter, this scenario is called a map. FIG. 15 shows 10 different maps.

As shown in FIG. 15, ten maps 1 to 10 define the initial value of the first point number P1 and the initial value of the second point number P2 in each of the 16 point acquisition periods. Each 10 is characterized by how the initial value of the first point number P1 and the initial value of the second point number P2 change with the progress of the point acquisition period. Hereinafter, the point acquisition period of 1 is referred to as a set, and the Nth point acquisition period is referred to as an Nth set.
In addition, it can be inferred from the fact that the initial value of the first point number P1 of the 16th set to which the AT transfer right is always granted in the AT transfer right grant lot is 40 in all of the maps 1 to 10. The winning probability in the AT transfer right granting lottery when the first point number P1 is 40 or more is set to 100%. Therefore, at the end of the point acquisition period in which the initial value of the first point number P1 is set to 40, the AT transfer right is granted.

Based on the above, referring to FIG. 15, for example, in the map 1, since the initial value of the first point number P1 of the fourth set is set to 40, the AT transfer right grant lottery is performed at an early stage of the fourth set. This is a very advantageous map for the player to win the game. Similarly, the map 2 is the 8th set, and the map 3 is the 12th set, which is a map to be won in the AT transfer right grant lottery. Regarding maps 1 to 3, the reason why the initial value of the first point number P1 and the initial value of the second point number P2 for 16 sets are defined will be described later.
On the other hand, maps 4 to 10 are maps in which the initial value of the first point number P1 is suppressed to 20 at the highest, and a set in which the initial value of the first point number P1 is 10 or 20 appears in a constant cycle or continuously. It is a map that appears.

  Further, from the viewpoint of the initial value of the second point number P2, as a basic tendency, when the initial value of the first point number P1 is small, the initial value of the second point number P2 is larger than when it is large. The maps (maps 4 and 5) set to (1) and the maps (maps 6 and 7) set so that the initial value of the second point number P2 increases as the initial value of the first point number P1 increases.

FIG. 16 shows the flow of game processing during the first advantageous state.
During the first advantageous state, first, in step S1601, a map lottery process is performed to randomly select one map to be used from the 10 maps 1 to 10 shown in FIG. The specific contents of the map lottery process are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the selection probabilities of each of the maps 1 to 10 are determined for each set value, and FIG. 17 shows the selection probabilities by the value of the numerator with the denominator being 256. For example, the selection probability of the map 1 indicates that when the set value is 1, it is set to 2/256, when it is set to 2, it is set to 7/256, and when it is set to 3 to 6, it is set to 13/256. By the map lottery process, the map number (1 to 10) is determined, and thereafter, the map corresponding to the map number is referred to to determine the initial value of the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 in each point acquisition period. Determine the initial value.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the next step S1602, a start set lottery process is performed. Basically, the first set of the map determined in step S1601 is the start set, but when the start set lottery process is won, any one of the third, fourth, fifth, ninth and thirteenth sets is set. It will be the starting set. In addition, when the start set lottery process is won, the start set is changed even when the maps determined in step S1601 are maps 1 to 3, and therefore the maps 1 to 3 also include the first set of 16 sets. The initial value of the point number P1 and the initial value of the second point number P2 are defined.
18A and 18B show specific contents of the start set lottery process. As shown in FIG. 18A, the winning probability in the starting set lottery process is determined according to the map number and the set value, and FIG. It is a thing. For example, the winning probability when the map number is 1 to 3 is 7/256 regardless of the setting value, and the winning probability when the map number is 4 is 13/256 when the setting value is odd, and is 7 It is set to 26/256 respectively.
FIG. 18B shows the distribution probabilities for each start set, which are distributed when the start set lottery process of FIG. 18A is won, by the value of the numerator with the denominator of 256. Are set to 128/256, 79/256, 39/256, 5/256, and 5/256, respectively.

  Returning to FIG. 16, in the next step S1603, the first point number-added high accuracy state lottery process is executed, and in the next step S1604, the second point number-added high accuracy state lottery process is executed. If the player wins the high-probability state lottery process by adding the first points, the expected addition value in the first point-addition lottery process, which will be described later, becomes higher for one set to be started from now on, as compared with the case where the player misses. Similarly, if the player wins the high-probability state lottery process by adding the second point number, the expected addition value in the second point number-adding lottery process, which will be described later, becomes higher for one set to be started, as compared with the case where the winning is lost.

FIG. 19A shows the specific content of the high-probability state lottery process in which the first point number is added.
As shown in FIG. 19A, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process for adding the first point number is determined according to the first point number P1 added in the previous set and the set value. In a), the probability of winning is shown by the value of the numerator with the denominator being 256.
If the first point number added in the previous set is 0 to 4, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process for adding the first point number is set to 128/256.
When the first point number P1 added in the previous set is 5 to 24, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process in which the first point number is added is 26/256 when the set value is 1 to 3, When the set value is 4, it is set to 39/256, and when the set value is 5 to 6, it is set to 52/256.
When the first point number P1 added in the previous set is 25 to 39, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process in which the first point number is added is 27/256 when the set value is 1 to 2, When the set value is 3 to 4, it is set to 52/256, and when the set value is 5 to 6, it is set to 77/256.
Regarding the first set, since there is no previous set, the first point number P1 added in the previous set is set to zero, and the first point number added high accuracy state lottery process is executed. Therefore, the first set wins the high-probability state lottery process with a first point number with a probability of 50%, and if it is won, it becomes an opportunity.
For the second and subsequent sets, the first point number P1 is added in the rare cases where the first point number P1 added in the previous set is 0 to 4 and in the cases of 25 or more, compared to the cases of 5 to 24. The winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process is set to be high.

FIG. 19B shows the specific contents of the high-probability state lottery process in which the second point number is added.
As shown in FIG. 19B, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process for adding the second point number is determined according to the second point number P2 added in the previous set and the set value. In b), the winning probability is shown by the value of the numerator with the denominator being 256.
If the second point number P2 added in the previous set is 0, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process in which the second point number is added is 26/256 when the set value is 1 to 4, the set value In case of 5 to 6, they are set to 39/256, respectively.
If the second point number P2 added in the previous set is 1 to 4, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process in which the second point number is added is 26/256 when the set value is 1 to 3, When the set value is 4, it is set to 39/256, and when the set value is 5 to 6, it is set to 26/256.
When the second point number P2 added in the previous set is 5 to 8, the winning probability in the high-probability state lottery process in which the second point number is added is set to 52/256 regardless of the set value. ..
Regarding the initial set, since there is no previous set, the second point number P2 added in the previous set is set to zero, and the second point number added high accuracy state lottery process is executed.
For the second and subsequent sets, if the second point number P2 added in the previous set is 5 or more, the probability of winning in the high-probability state lottery process with the second point number added is higher than in the case of 4 or less. It is set to be high.

  Returning to FIG. 16, in the next step S1605, the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 are set to the initial values corresponding to the current map number and the set number, respectively, and the point acquisition period game number is set to zero. set. For example, when the map number is 1 and the number of sets is 1, the first point number P1 is set to zero and the second point number P2 is set to 3 as shown in FIG. Then, in step S1606, the point acquisition period is started.

In the point earning period, first, the internal lottery process is executed in step S1607, the first point number is added in the lottery process in the next step S1608, and the second point number is obtained in the next step S1609, according to the internal lottery result. The additional lottery process is executed.
FIG. 20 shows the specific content of the lottery process for adding the first point. In addition, normally, in the addition state shown in FIG. 20, the case where the player is out of the first point number addition high-accuracy state lottery process in step S1603 of FIG. 16 is shown, and the high-probability is a case where the same lottery process is successful. ing.
FIG. 20 shows the distribution probabilities for each value added to the first point number P1 for each internal lottery result, as a numerator value with a denominator of 256.
When the addition status is normal and as a result of the internal lottery, the addition value is 1, 2, or 3 when each of the eight common lottery combinations is won, each distribution probability is 238/256, 13/256, 5 It is set to /256.
As a result of the internal lottery, the additional value when the winning part of the lottery category weak cherry is won is 2, 3, 5 and the distribution probability is 238/256, 13/256, 5 It is set to /256.
As a result of the internal lottery, the added value is one of 1, 5, 10 when the addition state is normal and the lottery category watermelon role is won, and the distribution probabilities are 204/256, 39/256, 13/ It is set to 256.

When the addition status is high and the internal lottery results in winning the eight-role combination common to the lottery categories, the addition probability is set to 32/256.
If the winning condition is high and the internal lottery results in winning a weak cherry, watermelon, weak chance, strong chance, or strong cherry as a result of the internal lottery, the added condition is the same as normal. Therefore, the description is omitted.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the next step S1610, 1 is added to the point acquisition period game number, and in the next step S1611, it is determined whether or not the point acquisition period game number has reached 40 games. If YES in step S1611, the point acquisition period ends in step S1612. If NO in step S1612, the process returns to step S1607 to continue the point acquisition period.
In the next step S1613, the AT transfer right grant lottery process is executed based on the acquired first point number P1.

FIG. 22 shows the specific content of the AT transfer right granting lottery process. FIG. 22 shows the probability of granting the AT transfer right for each first point number P1 as a numerator value with the denominator being 256.
When the first point number P1 is 0 to 4, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 25/256. When the first point number P1 is 5 to 9, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 2/256. When the first point number P1 is 10 to 14, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 5/256. When the first point number P1 is 15 to 19, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 10/256. When the first point number P1 is 20 to 24, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 25/256. When the first point number P1 is 25 to 29, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 50/256. When the first point number P1 is 30 to 34, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 100/256. When the first point number P1 is 35 to 39, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 200/256. When the first point number P1 is 40 or more, the probability of granting the AT transfer right is set to 256/256.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the next step S1614, it is determined whether or not the AT transition right grant lottery process in step S1613 is won. Start processing and return. The process during the second advantageous state will be described later.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1614, the number of sets is incremented by 1 in step S1617, and the process returns to step S1603 to start the next point acquisition period.

As shown in FIG. 23A, during the point acquisition period, the number of games remaining until the end of the current point acquisition period is displayed in the upper left corner of the effect display device 24. Further, an AT winning expectation degree based on the current first point number P1 is displayed in the upper right corner of the effect display device 24, and an AT continuous expectation degree based on the current second point number P2 is displayed in the lower left corner.
23(b), the correspondence relationship between the first point number P1 and the AT winning expectation degree displayed on the effect display device 24, and in FIG. 23(c), the second point number P2 and the effect display device 24 are displayed. The corresponding relationship with the expected AT winning rate is shown below.

  As shown in FIG. 23B, when the current first point number P1 is 0 to 4, the AT winning expectation on the effect display device 24 is set to 1. When the current first point number P1 is 5 to 14, the notation of the AT winning expectation degree on the effect display device 24 is set to 2. When the current first point number P1 is 15 to 29, the AT winning expectation on the effect display device 24 is set to 3. When the current first point number P1 is 30 to 34, the AT winning expectation on the effect display device 24 is set to 4. When the current first point number P1 is 35 to 39, the AT winning expectation on the effect display device 24 is set to 5. When the first point number P1 at present is 40 or more, the notation of the AT winning expectation degree on the effect display device 24 is set to be fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 23C, when the current second point number P2 is 1, the notation of the AT continuation expectation degree on the effect display device 24 is set to 1. When the current second point number P2 is 2 to 4, the notation of the AT continuation expectation degree on the effect display device 24 is set to 2. When the current second point number P2 is 5 to 7, the AT continuation expectation level on the effect display device 24 is set to 3. When the current second point number P2 is 8 to 9, the AT continuation expectation level on the effect display device 24 is set to 4. When the current second point number P2 is 10 or more, the AT continuation expectation level on the effect display device 24 is set to 5.

In addition, in the case of the high-accurate state of adding the first point number P1, in the case of the high-accurate state of adding the second point number P2 from the normal white to red color of the AT winning expectation degree notation on the effect display device 24 In this case, this is notified by changing the color of the AT continuation expectation degree notation on the effect display device 24 from normal white to red.
It is to be noted that the current first point number P1, the second point number P2, and whether the first point number P1 is in the highly accurate state of addition, and whether the second point number P2 is in the highly accurate state of addition. The method is not limited to this embodiment, and other known notification or suggestion methods may be used.

As described above, the slot machine 1 repeats the point acquisition period for 40 games, and is it transferred to the AT by the AT transfer right granting lottery based on the first point number P1 held at the end of each point acquisition period? It is a so-called periodical lottery type slot machine that determines whether or not. For this reason, when the player fails to enter the AT transfer right granting lottery at the end of each point acquisition period, he/she will be sick.
However, in the present slot machine 1, at the start of the first point acquisition period, for each point acquisition period from 1 to 16 sets, 10 types of maps defining the initial values of the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 are set. 1), a map is selected, and the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 at the start of each point acquisition period are set according to the map. Further, as described above, during the point acquisition period, the display indicating the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 at the present time is displayed on the effect display device 24.
Therefore, the player can guess which map is selected by checking this display at the start of each point acquisition period. The map type is very important as a strategy for winning, because it can be a criterion for deciding whether or not to continue playing the game, that is, for turning around.
Then, from the estimated map type, in the next point acquisition period, if the initial value of the first point number P1 is considered to be a relatively large value, it will be a motive for continuing the game and actually continue the game. However, from the display of the effect display device 24 in the start game of the next point acquisition period, if it seems that his/her expectation is correct, it is possible to give a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction to this. Furthermore, when the player wins the AT transfer right grant lottery at the end of the point acquisition period, in addition to the joy of winning, the joy of capturing by his/her own guess is added, so that the interest can be further enhanced. As described above, according to the slot machine 1, even if the player is out of the AT transfer right granting lottery at the end of each point earning period, it is possible to grant the motivation for the game continuation based on the estimation result of the map type. As a result, it is possible to keep the desire to continue playing the game more than ever before.

  In addition to this, in the slot machine 1, as described above, at the start of the point acquisition period, the first point number addition high-probability state lottery process is performed according to the first point number P1 added in the previous point acquisition period (FIG. 16). Step S1603), the high-probability state lottery process (step S1604 of FIG. 16) is performed by adding the second point number in accordance with the second point number P2. For this reason, if the first point number P1 and the second point number P2 added in the previous point acquisition period are within a range in which winning can be expected in both lottery processes, the game will be motivated to continue. Even when the player is out of the AT transfer right grant lottery at the end of the point earning period, it is possible to keep the player's desire to continue playing more than before.

  Furthermore, in the high-probability state lottery processing for adding the first points, only at the start of the first point acquisition period, the first points P1 added in the previous point acquisition period are regarded as zero and the lottery is performed. In the high-probability state lottery process for adding the first point number, basically, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the first point number P1 added in the previous point acquisition period is 0 to 4, The winning probability is set to be higher than in other cases. Therefore, in the initial point acquisition period, it is possible to expect a win in the high-probability state lottery process in which the first point number is added, and when the first point number-added high precision state is entered, the first point number addition period corresponds to the first point acquisition period. Even if a map having a low initial value of the first point number P1 is selected, AT transition can be expected. In this way, by preferentially treating the first point acquisition period, it is possible to continue the desire to continue playing the game even after the AT ends.

<3. Second advantageous state>
As described above, the second advantageous state is a gaming state in which the instruction function operates, that is, a so-called AT state.
In the second advantageous state of the slot machine 1, a so-called set continuation type AT specification is adopted. The number of games per set is 30 games. For the 1st to 7th sets, even if you do not have set stock at the end of each set, the AT continuous lottery process is executed according to the predetermined continuation rate, and the lottery concerned. If you win in the process, the next set starts. The 8th set completes (ending), and after the 8th set, if the set stock is possessed at the end of each set, the next set is started.

  In addition, during the second advantageous state, in addition to the set stock addition lottery processing relating to the addition of the set stock described above, a pseudo bonus lottery processing for making a lottery as to whether or not to grant the execution right of the pseudo bonus is performed. If the lottery process is won, at least one of the upper line L1, the middle line L2, the lower line L3, the lower right line L4, and the upper right line L5 has a "red 7A" or "red 7B" symbol. A lottery category that can match any of these (specifically, lottery category 7 complete single replay, 7 complete double replay 1, 7 complete double replay 2, 7 complete V replay 1, 7 complete 4 stop replay, 7 complete 7 A pseudo bonus game is executed from the next game after a pseudo bonus preparation state in which a stop replay and a winning of 7 complete V replay 2) are waited for. During the pseudo bonus game, the number of correct operation order navigations when the push order bell is won is counted, and the game ends when the count result reaches 20 times. Note that the number of AT set games is not subtracted during the preparation of the pseudo bonus and during the pseudo bonus game.

FIG. 24 shows the flow of processing during the second advantageous state.
In the second advantageous state, first, in step S2401, AT continuation scenario lottery processing is executed.
<3-1. AT continuation rate scenario lottery process>
In the AT continuation scenario lottery process, one continuation rate scenario is determined by lottery from the ten continuation rate scenarios that define the continuation rates of the 1st to 7th sets, and each one is defined by the determined one continuation rate scenario. The above-mentioned AT continuous lottery process is executed in accordance with the set continuation rate.
FIG. 25A shows the contents of the AT continuation scenario lottery process, and FIG. 25B shows the contents of ten continuation rate scenarios.
As shown in FIG. 25A, in the AT continuation scenario lottery process, one continuation rate scenario is drawn based on the second point number P2 in the point acquisition period in which the AT transition right is granted in the first advantageous state. In FIG. 25A, the vertical axis represents the second point number P2 and the horizontal axis represents the continuous scenario number, and the lottery value (denominator is 256) of each continuous scenario number is shown for each second point number P2. ..
For example, when the second point number P2 is 1, the distribution probability of continuous scenario number 1 is 128/256, the distribution probability of 2 is 85/256, and the distribution probability of 3 to 4 is 13/256 and 5 respectively. The distribution probabilities of 7 are set to 4/256, the distribution probabilities of 8 to 9 are set to 2/256, and the distribution probabilities of 10 are set to 1/256. The case where the second point number P2 is 2 to 10 is as described in FIG.

FIG. 25B shows the continuation scenario number on the vertical axis and the number of continuous sets on the horizontal axis, and shows the continuation rate (denominator is 256) in the AT continuous lottery process at the end of each set, for each continuous scenario number. Is.
For example, in the scenario with the continuation scenario number 1, the continuation rate of the first set is set to 2/256, and the continuation rates of the second to seventh sets are set to 256/256, respectively. The scenario with the continuation scenario number of 10 is a scenario in which the continuation of 8 sets is confirmed at the time when it is determined in the AT continuation scenario lottery process, and is a scenario advantageous to the player. The scenarios of other continuous scenario numbers are as described in FIG.

  Further, as can be seen from FIGS. 25A and 25B, when the second point number P2 is large, a continuation rate scenario that is advantageous to the player is selected in the AT continuation scenario lottery process as compared with the case where the second point number P2 is small. It is set so that the probability of being That is, it is understood that the second point number P2 influences the advantage degree of the AT state.

Returning to FIG. 24, in the next step S2402, setting processing of various data before the start of the initial AT set is performed. Specifically, the set of continuation rate scenario numbers determined in the AT continuation scenario lottery process in step S2401, the AT stock number indicating the remaining number of AT set execution rights is 1, and the pseudo bonus indicating the remaining number of pseudo bonus execution rights. The stock number is set to zero, the AT set number indicating the number of the AT set currently being executed is set to 1, and the payout ratio game counter used for calculating the payout ratio in the second advantageous state is set to zero. Then, in the next step S2403, the number of set games is set to 30, the AT stock number is decremented by 1, and AT setting is started.
In the next step S2404, an internal lottery process is executed according to the game start operation, and in the next step S2405, the number of set games is subtracted by one. The proportion game counter is a game number counter from the game in which the instruction function is first activated during the second advantageous state (hereinafter referred to as the first instruction operation game). Add 1 to the game counter.

In the next step S2406, as a result of the internal lottery processing, it is determined whether or not the push order bell is won. If the answer is YES, the instruction function operation determination processing is executed in step S2407.
<3-2. Indicator function operation determination process>
In the instruction function activation determination processing, it is determined whether or not to activate the instruction function, based on the rate of exit and the number-of-games counter G2 for rate. First, a method of calculating the ball exit rate will be described. The ball-out rate here is the ball-out rate from the first instruction actuation game to the current game. First, a method of calculating the ball exit rate will be described with reference to FIGS. 26(a) and 26(b). 26(a) and 26(b) each show an example of a method of calculating a ball exit rate.

<3-2-1. Calculation of the ball launch rate>
First, the method of calculating the exit rate in FIG. 26A will be described.
As described above, since the slot machine (1) is equipped with the limiter function relating to the advantageous state, the number of advantageous games which is the game counter in the advantageous state is used to determine whether to activate the limiter function. The counter G1 and the difference number counter are provided. In addition to both counters, a proportion game number counter G2 and a proportion OUT number counter OUT2 that start counting from the first instruction operation game are provided. The number-of-progress games counter G2 is a counter that counts the number of games from the first instruction operation game. In the game for which the winning number for the small winning combination has been won since the first instruction operation game, the output OUT number counter OUT2 is not included in the number of small winning combinations actually won in the game, but included in the winning lotting group. Of the payouts corresponding to the small winning combinations, the maximum payout is added. In the game that is won in the lottery category related to the replay role, the number of inserted coins is added. The pitch rate is calculated by dividing the count-out OUT number counter OUT2 by the product of the count-out game number counter G2 and the inserted number, and multiplying by 100.

Next, the method of calculating the ball exit rate of FIG. 26(b) will be described. The difference from the calculation method of FIG. 26A is that the output OUT number counter OUT2 is not provided, and instead, a difference number counter is used. Specifically, it is calculated by dividing the value of the difference number counter by the product of the proportion game number counter G2 and the inserted number, and multiplying by 100 to add 100. There is a difference from the rate of exit determined by the calculation method of FIG. 26A when the player does not play as instructed or when the difference number becomes negative after the first instruction operation game. However, as long as you play as instructed, there is no big difference, and in comparison with the calculation method of FIG. 26A, the counting process of the OUT rate OUT number counter OUT2 can be omitted. There is an advantage that the program capacity for calculating the rate can be reduced.
In the present slot machine 1, since the start-up period during which the start-out rate exceeds 100 starts from the first instruction actuation game, the above-mentioned start-up rate can be calculated by any calculation method. Indicates. In addition, the value of the number-of-progress games counter G2 can be said to be the number of games during the increased number of balls.

  Although not shown in FIGS. 26(a) and 26(b), the slot machine 1 separately counts the number of medals paid out in order to calculate the character ratio. The character ratio is a game and instruction during operation of a character according to the gaming machine rules (in the slot machine 1, during a BB1 game and a BB2 game) with respect to the total payout number OUT3 of medals paid out by the slot machine 1. In the function operation game, the ratio of the accessory operation operation payout number OUT4, which is the total payout number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1, is shown in percentage. Specifically, in the game in which the small winning combination is won, the total number of payouts OUT3 is added. The number of payouts OUT4 is added to the number of payouts OUT4 when a small winning combination is won in a game in which a ruled character is operating or an instruction function operating game.

Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the instruction function operation determination process will be described. As described above, in the instruction function activation determination processing, it is determined whether or not to activate the instruction function, based on the rate of exit and the number-of-games counter G2 for rate. As a result, in the early stage of the increase in the number of balls to be released, while allowing a momentary outflow, by gradually decreasing the upper limit of the ratio of balls to be released as the period of increasing the number of balls to be released, the emissiveness is kept within a certain range. Is suppressed.
FIG. 27 shows the lottery value (denominator is 256) for determining that the instruction function should be activated, with the vertical axis representing the range of the rate of departure and the horizontal axis representing the number-of-games for winning percentage G2. For example, when the value of the number-of-progress games counter G2 is less than 50, the instruction function is activated irrespective of the rate of play. When the value of the number-of-progress games counter G2 is 50 or more and less than 100, the instructing function is activated when the ball ejection rate is less than 225%, and the instructing function is activated with a probability of 50% when the ball ejection rate is 225% or more. .. In other cases, the description is omitted because it is as described in FIG. 27. As a result, when the ball increase period continues for 350 games or more, the ball discharge rate is suppressed to less than 217%.

  Returning to FIG. 24, in the next step S2408, it is determined whether or not it is determined in the instruction function operation determination process of step S2407 to activate the instruction function. If YES is determined, the correct answer operation is performed in step S2409. The corresponding identification information is sequentially displayed on the instruction monitor NM, the correct operation sequence is navigated, and the process proceeds to step S2410. If the determination is NO in step S2406, or if the determination is NO in step S2408, the process proceeds to step S2410.

As described above, in the slot machine 1, the instruction function may not operate even in the game in which the push order bell is won as a result of the internal lottery during the second advantageous state. In the game in which the push order bell is won and the instruction function does not operate, the identification information corresponding to the correct operation order is not displayed on the instruction monitor NM, and the correct operation order is not navigated. Therefore, depending on the order and timing of the player's stop operation, a bell small combination with eight payouts (specifically, one of the bells descending right 01, the middle bells 01-04, and the bells rising 01-04). Will be won, a small winning combination (any one of various 1-bell) with one payout will be won, or the zero point will be displayed.
In addition, as described above, in the RT1-3 state which is the RT state in which the player normally stays in the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. Includes disqualification (loss). Here, the 8 lottery common to the lottery category is a small winning combination of 8 payouts (specifically, the downward bell 01, the middle bells 01 to 04, the right, regardless of the order and the timing of the stop operation of the player. Random lottery wins any of the rising bells 01 to 04), and the single lottery common to the lottery categories is a small win (one of various bells of one lot) regardless of the order and the timing of the stop operation of the player. The lottery category in which any one of the prizes is won and the non-winning (miss) is a lottery category in which a zero is displayed regardless of the order and the timing of the stop operation of the player.

Therefore, in a game in which the push order bell is won and the instruction function does not operate, a small winning combination with eight payouts (specifically, any one of the downward right bell 01, the middle bell 01-04, and the upward bell 01-04 is used. If the result of the internal lottery is a result of the internal lottery, the game will be the same as that of the game that wins the eight-role combination common to the lottery section, and the point that the instruction function will not work and the result will be the same. It is not possible to determine which of the bell and the common eight-card combination was won.
Similarly, in a game in which the push order bell is won and the instruction function does not work, when a small prize with one payout (any one of the various one bells) is won, as a result of the internal lottery, one prize common to the lottery category Since the same applies to the game won for the above and the point that the instruction function does not work, and the result, the player can determine whether the result of the internal lottery, the push order bell or the common single hand is won. Absent.
In addition, in the game where the push order bell is won and the instruction function does not work, if the zero is displayed, the game in which the result of the internal lottery is unwinned (miss) and the point that the instruction function does not work and Since the results are the same, the player cannot determine whether the result of the internal lottery is that the push order bell is won or the win (miss) occurs.
Therefore, in the present slot machine 1, in the game in which the push order bell is won and the instruction function is not activated, the player cannot determine that the push order bell is won, so that the control that does not activate the instruction function is performed. I can't even tell what was broken. As described above, in the present slot machine 1, there is a case where the control that does not activate the instruction function is performed in the game in which the push order bell is won, but in this case also, the player notices this and raises frustration. It adopts a configuration that does not happen.

  Returning to FIG. 24, in the next step S2410, it is determined whether or not a strong rare combination is won. Specifically, the strong rare part refers to a strong chance part, a strong cherry part, an SR part, and an LG part in the lottery section, and it is determined whether or not one of the lottery sections has been won. If YES is determined in the step S2410, the strong rare combination display lottery process is executed in a step S2411.

<3-3. Strong Rare Role Display Lottery Processing>
Next, the strong rare combination display lottery process will be described. Each strong rare role can be identified by the player by the display of the specific outcome that is displayed only in the winning game of each strong rare role, and the player can determine that the specific rare outcome has been won. When displayed, it is a role in which the addition is confirmed or the probability is high. As will be described later in detail, in the case of the lottery classification SR combination and LG combination, when the winning in the strong rare combination display lottery process, that is, when the display of a specific roll is allowed, the addition of the AT stock number is confirmed. Yes, it is a so-called additional player. In addition, when the display of a specific roll is allowed, the lottery category SR combination and LG combination are more likely to have AT stocks added to them than games that have been elected as additional addition triggers excluding strong rare combinations. This is a lottery classification.
In addition, when the left stop button 20L or the middle stop button 20C is operated for the first time in the reel stop operation in the winning game, each of the strong rare roles displays the above-mentioned specific result while the right stop first. When the button 20R is operated, the specific result is not displayed.
In the strong rare combination display lottery process, whether or not to allow the display of a specific roll is selected by lottery, and if not, the identification information corresponding to the stop operation order in which the specific roll is not displayed is displayed. While displaying on the instruction monitor NM, the order of the stop operation is navigated (hereinafter, also referred to as strong rare role non-display navigation).

In addition, specifically, the stop operation order that does not display a specific result is set to reverse push (right → middle → left order) common to all strong rare roles, When performed, one of the middle-stage bells 01 to 04, the downward-rightward bell 01, and the upward-rightward bell 01 to 04 out of the multiple winning small winning combinations included in each lottery section. Therefore, the strong rare role non-display navigation is specifically a reverse-push navigation. Also, as a result of the reverse push navi, the phenomenon that the bell small role with 8 dividends wins is common with the case where the correct answer push order is navigated in the winning game of 6 choice bell GF1, so the player becomes a strong rare role. You will never notice that you have won.
On the other hand, when the order of the stop operations in the winning game of the strong rare combination is other than reverse pressing, any of the strong chances 01 to 04 for the strong chance combination and any of the strong cherries 01 to 12 for the strong cherry combination, Any of SR01-03 will be awarded for the SR combination, and any of LG01-08 will be awarded for the LG combination. A combination of these winning symbols is a "specific result".
If the player wins the strong rare combination display lottery process, the instruction function is not activated (no identification information is displayed on the instruction monitor NM), and the effect display device 24 indicates that the strong rare combination has been won. The display (for example, "!!!!!") is to be displayed.

Next, the meaning of the fixed number and the calculation method used in the strong rare combination display lottery process will be described.
<3-3-1. Fixed number>
The fixed number of sheets is the value of the current difference number counter for determining the limiter operation and an estimated value of the difference number of sheets (net increase number) that can be acquired when all the execution rights relating to the AT currently held are consumed. It is the total value. In this slot machine 1, the execution right related to AT is the number of AT stocks, the number of pseudo bonus stocks, the number of set games, and the remaining number of correct operation order navigations in the pseudo bonus, and is acquired when all of these are consumed. The estimated difference (net increase) is estimated. More specifically, the corresponding difference number (net increase number) of 1 AT stock number is 100, and the difference number (net increase number) corresponding to 1 pseudo bonus stock number is 120, per game in the AT set. The number of net additions is 3, and the number of net additions per correct operation order navigation in the pseudo bonus is 5, and the fixed number is calculated by the following formula. The value of each of the difference numbers (net increase number) is based on the expected value of the ball in the slot machine 1 designed.
Confirmed number = difference number counter value for determining limiter operation + AT stock number x 100 + pseudo bonus stock number x 120 + set game number x 3 + remaining number of correct operation order navigation times during pseudo bonus x 5
The pseudo bonus will be described later.

  As described above, since the slot machine 1 is equipped with the limiter function relating to the difference sheet number as described above, for example, when the operation of the limiter relating to the difference sheet number is confirmed or the possibility thereof is extremely high, A specific result indicating the winning of a rare role is displayed, and even if the execution right related to AT such as the number of AT stock is added, the result is that the limiter is activated with the added execution right. As a result, there is a risk of giving the player a feeling of loss and a feeling of chilling. In order to prevent this, based on the above-mentioned fixed number of sheets, it is judged whether or not it is possible to allow the addition, and if it is judged as No, the order of the stop operation in which a specific result is not displayed is instructed. Therefore, it is supposed that the display of the specific result is suppressed and the addition processing is not performed.

In addition to this, in the present slot machine 1, the number of AT sets is eight or more, that is, after the eighth ending set has been reached, and the operation of the limiter related to the difference number is not yet determined, the advantageous state game Even if the second advantageous state is continued until the limiter according to the number is activated, even if it is determined that the difference number at the time of actuation of the limiter does not reach 2000 sheets, the display of the specific result is suppressed and the addition is made. No processing will be performed.
When the limiter does not get a suitable exit ball, the player may be dissatisfied. Since the limiter relating to the difference number operates in the game in which the difference number exceeds 2400, if the limiter relating to the number of games in the advantageous state is activated, if the player gets a ball close to this limit, this dissatisfaction can be suppressed. However, if the number of balls to reach the limiter is significantly less than 2400, there is a fear that the player will be dissatisfied.
Therefore, in the present slot machine 1, a specification that guarantees as many as 2000 or more balls as much as possible even when the limiter related to the number of advantageous state games is activated and that the player can obtain a certain degree of satisfaction when any limiter is reached It is adopted.
For this reason, even after the ending set is reached, even if the second advantageous state is continued until the limiter relating to the advantageous state game is activated under a situation where the operation of the limiter relating to the difference number is not yet fixed, When it is determined that the difference number at the time of actuation of the limiter related to the number of advantageous state games does not reach 2000, the AT is not ended by the limiter operation related to the number of advantageous state games, and all the execution rights related to the AT are consumed. It is supposed that the display of the specific result is suppressed and the addition processing is not performed so that the AT is completely exhausted.
If it is assumed that the AT continues until the limiter relating to the number of games in the advantageous state operates, the determination of whether or not 2000 balls can be obtained is specifically performed by the following conditions. It depends on whether or not it is satisfied.
Difference number + (1500-number of advantageous state games) x 3 ≥ 2000
Therefore, after the ending is reached, it is determined whether or not the display of the strong rare combination is allowed based on the fixed number, the advantageous state game number, and the difference number.

FIG. 28(a) shows the details of the strong rare hand display lottery process in which the number of AT sets is 7 or less, that is, before reaching the 8th ending set, and FIG. 28(b) shows the number of AT sets is 8 or more, that is, the 8th set. The contents of the lottery process for displaying a strong rare part after reaching the ending set are shown.
As described above, before reaching the ending, even if there is no AT stock number at the end of the AT set, at the predetermined continuation rate (see FIG. 25(b)) based on the current continuation scenario number and AT set number, the AT Continuous lottery is executed. This continuation rate may be 100%, and in this case, AT continuation has already been confirmed. However, since this amount is not included in the above-mentioned determined number, the process is branched depending on whether or not the AT continuation is confirmed at the continuation rate of 100%. Instead of this method, when the continuation rate is 100%, the fixed number is calculated by using the value obtained by adding 1 to the current AT stock number, and the display probability is set according to the range of the fixed number. May be used.

As shown in FIG. 28(a), in the game in which the winning set is either a strong chance hand or a strong cherry hand before the ending set has been reached and the continuation rate is not 100%, the confirmed number is less than 200. 100%, 50% if 200 or more and less than 400, 25% if 400 or more and less than 600, 12.5% if 600 or more and less than 800 On the other hand, if 800 or more, it is determined not to allow the display of the strong rare combination.
Before reaching the ending set, and in a situation where the continuation rate is not 100%, in the game in which the winning combination SR combination is won, 25% if the confirmed number is less than 200, and 12.5 if the number is 200 or more and less than 400. %, if the number is 400 or more and less than 600, it is 6.25% if the number is 600 or more and less than 800, and 3.125% with a probability of 3.125%. , Determined not to allow the display of strong rare characters.
Before reaching the ending set, and in a situation where the continuation rate is not 100%, in a game in which a lottery category LG role is won, the number of confirmed numbers is less than 200, 25%, and the number of 200 or more and less than 400 is 12.5. While it is determined that the display of the strong rare combination is permitted with a probability of %, it is determined that the display of the strong rare combination is not permitted when the number of the cards is 400 or more.

Before reaching the ending set, and with a continuation rate of 100%, in a game in which one of the lottery category strong chance role and strong cherry role is won, if the finalized number is less than 200, 50%, 200 or more 400 If it is less than 25, it is decided to allow the display of a strong rare role with a probability of 25%, if it is 400 or more and less than 600, 12.5%, if it is 600 or more and less than 800, it is 6.25%. If the number is 800 or more, it is determined that the display of the strong rare combination is not allowed.
Before reaching the ending set, and with a continuation rate of 100%, in the game in which the winning combination SR role was won, 12.5% when the confirmed number is less than 200, and 6 when the number is 200 or more and less than 400. .25%, 3.125% if the number is 400 or more and less than 600, and about 1.56% if the number is 600 or more and less than 800, while it is 800 or more. In the case of, it is determined that the display of the strong rare role is not allowed.
Before reaching the ending set, and with a continuation rate of 100%, in a game in which a lottery category LG role is won, 12.5% when the confirmed number is less than 200, and 6 when 200 or more and less than 400 It is decided to allow the display of the strong rare combination with a probability of .25%, while it is decided not to allow the display of the strong rare combination when there are 400 or more cards.

As shown in FIG. 28(b), after reaching the ending set, and in the situation where there is a possibility of acquiring 2000 cards, in the game in which one of the lottery category strong chance hand and strong cherry hand is won, the confirmed number is 1200. If it is less than 50%, if it is 1200 or more and less than 1400, it is 25%, if it is 1400 or more and less than 1600, it is 12.5%, if it is 1600 or more and less than 1800, it is 6.25%. While it is determined that the display of the rare combination is allowed, it is determined that the display of the strong rare combination is not allowed when the number of the 1800 or more images is displayed.
After reaching the ending set, and in the situation where there is a possibility of obtaining 2000 cards, in the game that won the winning combination SR role, if the finalized number is less than 1200, 12.5%, if 1200 to less than 1400 Is 6.25%, 1400 or more and less than 1600 is 3.125%, 1600 or more and less than 1800 is about 1.56% with a probability of displaying a strong rare character, while 1800 If there are more than one, it is determined that the display of strong rare characters is not allowed.
After reaching the ending set, and in the situation where there is a possibility of obtaining 2000 cards, in the game that wins the lottery category LG role, if the finalized number is less than 1200, 12.5%, if 1200 or more and less than 1400 Has a 6.25% chance of allowing the display of a strong rare combination, while it is determined not to allow the display of a strong rare combination if there are 1400 or more.
On the other hand, after reaching the ending set and in the situation where there is a possibility of obtaining 2000 cards, it is determined that the display of the strong rare combination is not allowed regardless of the lottery classification and the finalized number.

  By the above-mentioned strong rare combination display lottery process, it is possible to prevent the limiter operation from reaching the execution right related to the AT and to guarantee 2000 or more balls as much as possible when the limiter is reached.

  Returning to FIG. 24, in the next step S2412, it is determined whether or not the player has won the strong rare combination display lottery process in step S2411. If YES in step S2412 and NO in step S2410, set stock addition lottery processing is executed in step S2414, and pseudo bonus lottery processing is executed in step S2415, and the process proceeds to step S2416. .. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S2412, the strong rare role non-display navigation (specifically, reverse navigation) is executed in step S2413, and the addition processing of steps S2414 and S2415 is skipped. The process moves to step S2417.

<3-4. Addition of set stock lottery process>
FIG. 29(a) shows the contents of the lottery processing for adding the set stock before the arrival of the 8th ending set, that is, the number of AT sets is 8 or more, that is, the 8th set. The contents of the set stock addition lottery processing after reaching the ending set are shown respectively.
As can be seen from FIGS. 29(a) and 29(b), the set stock addition lottery process is, as a result of the internal lottery, one lottery common to the lottery categories, a weak cherry role, a watermelon role, a weak chance role, a strong chance role, and a strong cherry role. It is executed on condition that one of the winning combination, the SR combination and the LG combination is won. For this reason, the single lottery common role, weak cherry, watermelon, weak chance, strong chance, strong cherry, SR and LG are collectively referred to as an additional lottery trigger.
29A and 29B show the lottery value (the denominator is 256) that is determined to be won in the set stock addition lottery processing for each type of the addition lottery trigger combination and the range of the determined number.

Before the ending arrives, as shown in FIG. 29(a), in the game in which one winning hand is common to the lottery categories, the winning probability is 2/256 when the fixed number is less than 200, and the fixed number is 200 or more and 400 or more. The winning probability when the number is less than one is set to 1/256, and the winning probability when the confirmed number is 400 or more is set to zero.
Lottery category In the game that wins the role of weak cherry, the probability of winning is 39/256 when the number of confirmed sheets is less than 200, and the probability of winning is 18/256 when the number of confirmed sheets is less than 200 and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The probability of winning when the number of sheets is less than 8 is set to 8/256, the probability of winning when 600 or more and less than 800 is set to 4/256, and the probability of winning when the determined number of sheets is 800 or more is set to zero.
In the game that won the role of watermelon in the lottery category, the winning probability is 52/256 when the confirmed number is less than 200, and the winning probability is 26/256 when the confirmed number is 200 or more and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The winning probability in the case of less than 13/256, the winning probability in the case of 600 or more and less than 800 sheets is set to 6/256, and the winning probability in the case of 800 or more fixed numbers is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery classification weak chance is won, the winning probability is 64/256 when the confirmed number is less than 200, and the winning probability is 32/256 when the confirmed number is 200 or more and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The winning probability when the number is less than 16 is set to 16/256, the winning probability when the number is 600 or more and less than 800 is set to 8/256, and the winning probability when the finalized number is 800 or more is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category strong chance combination or a strong cherry combination is won, the winning probability is set to 128/256 regardless of the fixed number.
In a game in which one of the lottery classification SR winning combinations and LG winning combinations has been won, the winning probability is set to 256/256 regardless of the number of fixed numbers.

After reaching the ending, as shown in FIG. 29(b), in the game in which the one-winning role common to the lottery category is won, the winning probability is 2/256 when the fixed number is less than 1200, and the fixed number is 1200 or more. The winning probability of is set to zero.
In the game that wins the part of the lottery weak cherry, the winning probability is 39/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 8/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200 and less than 1400, 1400 or more. In this case, the winning probability is set to zero.
In the case of winning a lottery watermelon role, the winning probability is 52/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 13/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200 and less than 1400, 1400 or more The winning probability of is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category weak chance is won, the winning probability is 64/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 16/256 when the confirmed number is 1200 or more and less than 1400, 1400 or more. In this case, the winning probability is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category strong chance combination or a strong cherry combination is won, the winning probability is set to 128/256 regardless of the fixed number.
In a game in which one of the lottery classification SR winning combinations and LG winning combinations has been won, the winning probability is set to 256/256 regardless of the number of fixed numbers.

However, as mentioned above, in the game that wins the strong rare role, the set stock addition lottery process is performed on condition that you have been won in the strong rare role display lottery process, so the actual addition probability is the strong rare role display. It is the product of the winning probability in the lottery process and the winning probability in the set stock addition lottery process.
If you win the set stock addition lottery process, the number of AT stock will be 2 sets for the SR winning game, 3 sets for the LG winning game, and 3 for the additional winning lottery winning game except for the SR and LG roles. Add (add) one set.

<3-4. Pseudo bonus lottery process>
FIG. 30A shows the contents of the pseudo bonus lottery process before the arrival of the ending set of the 8th set, that is, the number of AT sets is 7 or less, that is, the number of AT sets is 8 or more, that is, the ending of the 8th set. The contents of the pseudo bonus lottery process after reaching the set are respectively shown.
As can be seen from FIGS. 30(a) and 30(b), the pseudo bonus lottery process is similar to the set stock addition lottery process, as a result of the internal lottery, one lottery common to the lottery categories, a weak cherry role, a watermelon role, and a weak chance. The winning of any one of the winning combination, the strong chance winning combination, the strong cherry winning combination, the SR winning combination, and the LG winning combination, that is, the winning of the above-mentioned additional lottery triggering winning combination is executed as a necessary condition. FIGS. 30(a) and 30(b) show the lottery value (denominator is 256) that is determined to be won in the pseudo bonus lottery process for each type of additional lottery trigger combination and range of the determined number.

Before the ending arrives, as shown in FIG. 30(a), in the game in which one winning hand is common to the lottery categories, the winning probability is 1/256 when the fixed number is less than 400, and the fixed number is 400 or more. In this case, the winning probability is set to zero.
Lottery category In the game that wins the role of weak cherry, the winning probability is 13/256 when the confirmed number is less than 200, and the winning probability is 7/256 when the confirmed number is 200 or more and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The winning probability when the number of sheets is less than 4 is set to 4/256, the winning probability when the number of sheets is 600 or more and less than 800 is set to 2/256, and the winning probability when the number of confirmed sheets is 800 or more is set to zero.
In the game that won the role of watermelon in the lottery category, the winning probability is 26/256 when the confirmed number is less than 200, and the winning probability is 13/256 when the confirmed number is 200 or more and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The winning probability in the case of less than 7 is set to 7/256, the winning probability in the case of 600 or more and less than 800 is set to 4/256, and the winning probability in the case of the fixed number of 800 or more is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category weak chance is won, the winning probability is 39/256 when the confirmed number is less than 200, and the winning probability is 19/256 when the determined number is 200 or more and less than 400, 400 or more 600 The probability of winning when the number of sheets is less than 13/256, the probability of winning when 600 or more and less than 800 is set to 7/256, and the probability of winning when the determined number of sheets is 800 or more is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category strong chance combination or a strong cherry combination is won, the winning probability is set to 128/256 regardless of the fixed number.
In the game in which either the winning combination SR combination or the LG combination is won, the winning probability is set to 256/256 regardless of the determined number.

After reaching the ending, as shown in FIG. 30(b), in the game in which the one-winning combination is common to the lottery categories, the winning probability is 1/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the confirmed number is 1200 or more. The winning probability of is set to zero.
In the game that wins the part of the lottery weak cherry, the winning probability is 13/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 4/256 when the confirmed number is 1200 or more and less than 1400, 1400 or more. In that case, the winning probability is set to zero.
In the case of winning the watermelon role in the lottery category, the winning probability is 26/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 7/256 when the confirmed number is 1200 or more and less than 1400, 1400 or more The winning probability of is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery classification weak chance role is won, the winning probability is 39/256 when the confirmed number is less than 1200, and the winning probability is 13/256 when the confirmed number is 1200 or more and less than 1400, 1400 or more. In that case, the winning probability is set to zero.
In a game in which a lottery category strong chance combination or a strong cherry combination is won, the winning probability is set to 128/256 regardless of the fixed number.
In a game in which one of the lottery classification SR winning combinations and LG winning combinations has been won, the winning probability is set to 256/256 regardless of the number of fixed numbers.

However, as described above, in the game that wins the strong rare part, the pseudo bonus lottery process is performed on condition that the player wins the strong rare part display lottery process. It is the product of the winning probability in the process and the winning probability in the pseudo bonus lottery process.
If the pseudo bonus lottery process is won, one set is added (added) to the number of pseudo bonus stocks.

In this slot machine 1, since the probability of deviation is larger than the probability of winning in the set stock addition lottery process and the pseudo bonus lottery process, the additional opportunity triggers other than the strong rare combination are reel reels showing the winning of these additional opportunity combinations. Even if the AT execution right is not added to the displayed game, the player will not be greatly discouraged. On the other hand, since the winning probabilities of the strong rare roles are set to 50% or more in the set stock addition lottery process and the pseudo bonus lottery process, a specific reel number indicating the winning of the strong rare role is displayed. In the game, if the AT execution right is not added, the player will be greatly discouraged.
Therefore, in the present slot machine 1, for the strong rare combination, a specific reel outcome indicating a win is displayed in a specific stop operation order in order to maintain a high expected addition value when the specific reel outcome is displayed. In the situation where the execution right related to the AT cannot be added and the specific operation order is notified, the display of the specific reel outcome is avoided.

  In the strong rare part display lottery process, the set stock addition lottery process, and the set stock addition lottery process shown in FIGS. 28 to 30, the processing is switched between before and after the arrival of the ending set. It may be switched depending on whether or not the continuation status of the AT is a status in which it is necessary to consider the operation of the limiter related to the number of advantageous state games, and can be appropriately changed according to the specifications of the AT. In the present slot machine 1, it is appropriate to judge whether or not the ending set has been reached as this condition judgment, so this specification is merely adopted and it is necessary to consider the operation of the limiter related to the number of advantageous state games. When the AT continues up to a certain situation, it is only necessary to switch to the addition processing relating to the execution right of the AT in consideration of the difference in number when the limiter is activated.

Returning to FIG. 24, in the next step S2416, it is determined whether or not the number of pseudo bonus stocks is larger than zero, and if YES is determined, the pseudo bonus process is performed in step S2426. The pseudo bonus process will be described later.
On the other hand, if NO in step S2416, it is determined in step S2417 whether or not the game is an instruction function operation game. Is executed and the process proceeds to step S2419. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S2417, step S2418 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S2419.
In step S2419, it is determined whether or not the number of set games is zero. If YES is determined, the current AT set is ended in step S2420, and if NO is determined, the current AT set is continued. Therefore, the process returns to step S2404.

In the next step S2421, it is determined whether or not the AT stock number is larger than zero, and if YES is determined, the AT set number is incremented by 1 in step S2425 to start the next AT set. , And returns to step S2403.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S2421, that is, if the AT stock number is zero, it is determined in step S2422 that the AT set number is 7 or less, that is, before the ending set is reached, and it is determined as YES. In this case, the AT continuous lottery process is executed in step S2423. Since the AT continuous lottery process has been described, the description thereof will be omitted here. In the next step S2424, it is determined whether or not the AT continuous lottery process in step S2423 is successful. If the answer is YES, in step S2425 the AT set number is incremented by 1 to set the next AT set. To start step S2403, the process returns to step S2403.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S2422 and if NO in step S2424, the advantageous state ending process is executed in step S2427 to end the advantageous state. In the advantageous state end process, the effect display device 24 executes the AT end effect that allows the player to recognize that the AT is ended by consuming all the execution right of the AT, and the RAM 43 of the main control device 31. An initialization process for initializing the advantageous state-related information stored above is executed. Then, in the next step S2428, the process shifts to the non-advantageous state process and returns.

<3-5. Pseudo bonus processing>
As described above, the pseudo bonus process is executed when the pseudo bonus stock is acquired in the pseudo bonus lottery process in the AT set. At this time, the effect display device 24 executes the pseudo bonus final effect to the effect that the execution of the pseudo bonus is finalized.
As the name implies, the pseudo bonus is a pseudo game of the bonus game using the instruction function, and is not based on the winning of the bonus role. For this reason, in the present slot machine 1, when the red 7A symbol and the red 7B symbol are pushed backward while being pressed in the winning game, the symbols are lined up in the reel window 6, and the appearance is as if the bonus combination is won. It is equipped with multiple types of lottery categories that look as if they were played. Specifically, lottery classification 7 complete single replay, 7 complete double replay 1, 7 complete double replay 2, 7 complete V replay 1, 7 complete 4 stop replay, 7 complete 7 stop replay and 7 complete V replay 2 It corresponds to the lottery category. Hereinafter, these lottery categories will be collectively referred to as 7 sets of replays.
Also, during the pseudo bonus process, basically, the same process as that during AT set exhaustion is performed for each game. The difference is that the AT set is not exhausted during pseudo bonus process, so the number of set games is subtracted. There is only a point that is not done. Therefore, the detailed description of the process for each game is omitted.

The flow of the pseudo bonus process is shown in FIG.
First, in step S3101, the preparation for the pseudo bonus is started, and in the next step S3102, the same determination is repeated until 7 replays are won as a result of the internal lottery. If YES in step S3102, in step S3103, a navigation for instructing reverse pressing and red 7 pattern pressing is displayed on the effect display device 24, and in step S3104, a pseudo bonus is being prepared for the game. To finish.
In the slot machine 1, the process of step S3103 is the first to win the 7-set replay after shifting to the pseudo bonus preparation without operating the instruction function (without displaying the identification information on the instruction monitor NM). In the game, it is supposed to be executed by the sub control device 32, but instead of this, the main control device 31 may be the subject of the processing by utilizing the instruction function.
Then, the pseudo bonus is started from the next game in step S3105. During the pseudo bonus, the number of times of navigating the correct operation order by the operation of the instruction function at the time of pressing the push order bell is counted, and the pseudo bonus is ended in the game in which the count result is 20 times. Therefore, in the next step S3106, the same determination is repeated until the number of correct operation order navigations reaches 20, and if YES is determined in step S3106, the pseudo bonus is ended and the process returns.
In the slot machine 1, the number of correct operation order navigations during the pseudo bonus is set to 20 regardless of the type of the 7-set replay that was won during preparation for the pseudo bonus. However, depending on the type, the correct operation order navigation is performed. You may change the number of times.

<4. Regarding processing when changing settings and recovering from power interruption>
Like the conventional slot machine, the present slot machine 1 supplies standby power to the main control device 31 and the sub control device 32 as long as the slot machine 1 is connected to the power supply even when the power is off. The state when the power is off is retained, and it can be restored when the power is off when the power is on. Further, since the backup battery is mounted, even when the standby power is not supplied, the power-off state can be maintained while the alternative power is supplied from the pack-up battery.
By the way, in the operation in the pachinko hall, there are cases where the table will be closed during AT, and such a table is desired to be in a non-AT state or to be changed in setting value when the shop is opened on the next business day. In order to meet this demand, the slot machine 1 is equipped with the setting changing function as described above. Since the method of changing the setting has already been described, the description is omitted here.
Note that, hereinafter, the process of returning to the normal (game) mode via the setting change mode is referred to as setting change. After the setting is changed, the RT state is maintained for the RT state before the setting is changed, and the gaming state depending on whether or not the instruction function is operable is set to the non-advantageous state. Therefore, even if either the first advantageous state or the second advantageous state is present before the setting is changed, the non-advantageous state is set after the setting is changed. Further, as described above, the RT state in the pachinko hall of the slot machine 1 is basically the RT1 state, and therefore the RT1 state is maintained even after the setting is changed.

  As described above, this slot machine is designed on the premise of a game in the RT1 state, more specifically, a game with a specified number of three cards in the RT1 state (RT1-3 state), RT0, RT2 and The RT3 state is designed to be disadvantageous to the player in terms of an exit surface as compared with the RT1 state. Therefore, the RT state in the pachinko hall of the slot machine 1 is basically inevitably the RT1 state, and the RT state before the setting change is maintained after the setting change, assuming that the RT1 state is the RT1 state. I have decided. In many conventional slot machines, the RT state after the setting change is set to the RT0 state, that is, the non-internal bonus state regardless of the RT state before the setting change. However, if this specification is adopted, the RT0 state is changed from the RT0 state. During the period until the transition to the RT1 state, the player consumes wasted time and is forced to make wasted investment. By adopting the specification of maintaining the RT state before the setting change even after the setting change, it is possible to prevent this problem from occurring, except for an exceptional rare case described later.

  Specifically, the exceptional rare case is a case where the RT state is an RT state other than the RT1 state, specifically, the RT0, RT2, or RT3 state. When the player plays an irregular game, or when the backup battery runs out and power is no longer supplied to the main control device 31 and the sub control device 32, so that the initialization process is executed when the power is turned on. In some cases, the RT state after power is turned on may be an RT state other than the RT1 state.

From the above description, the present slot machine 1 has a case where the gaming state relating to whether or not the instruction function can be operated when the pachinko hall is opened is a non-advantageous state due to the setting change, and the first advantage without changing the setting. It can be seen that there are cases where the state or the second advantageous state is set. Further, regarding the RT state, it can be seen that there are cases of the RT1 state and cases of the RT states other than the RT1 state.
By the way, there is a situation in the pachinko hall where the player does not want to know whether or not the setting has been changed. In particular, in the slot machine 1, during the first advantageous state, the game property in which the point acquisition period progresses according to the map is adopted, and normally, as shown in FIG. 23A on the effect display device 24. , The special production for the point earning period is displayed. As described above, only the case where the setting is not changed is in the first advantageous state at the time of opening the store. Therefore, if the first advantageous state is set at the time of opening of the store, the effect display device 24 produces an exclusive point acquisition period. When the specification for displaying is adopted, there is a problem that the display indicates that the set value is deferred. Therefore, the slot machine 1 is devised so that it is not possible to determine whether or not there is a setting change from the display content of the effect display device 24 when the store is opened. Hereinafter, this device will be described.

In the non-advantageous state, the sub control device 32 executes an effect corresponding to the non-advantageous state (hereinafter referred to as non-advantageous state corresponding effect) on the effect display device 24. Since the transition to the non-advantageous state occurs after the setting is changed and after the advantageous state ends, in this case, the non-advantageous state corresponding production is displayed on the production display device 24. FIG. 32A shows an example of the non-advantageous state corresponding effect. As shown in FIG. 32( a ), a message “immediately preparing...” is displayed on the effect display device 24 while the non-advantageous state corresponding effect is being executed.
Then, when the non-advantageous state is shifted to the first advantageous state, the sub control device 32 executes an effect corresponding to the first advantageous state on the effect display device 24 (hereinafter referred to as a first advantageous state corresponding effect). In the present slot machine 1, as a mode of the first advantageous state correspondence effect, as shown in FIG. 23A, the number of remaining games in the point acquisition period, the first point number P1 related to the expectation of winning the AT transfer right granting lottery And a notification mode in which the second number of points P2 relating to the degree of advantage of the AT state is displayed on the effect display device 24, and as shown in FIG. 32(b), the number of remaining games in the point acquisition period, the AT transfer right grant lottery There are two types of concealment modes, namely, a concealment mode in which the first point number P1 relating to the winning expectation degree and the second point number P2 relating to the advantage degree of the AT state are concealed.

FIG. 33A shows the effect transition control by the sub control device 32 in the case where the game state depending on whether or not the instruction function is activated when the power is turned on is the non-advantageous state.
As can be seen from FIG. 33A, the effect display device 24 displays the effect corresponding to the non-advantageous state during the game period from the non-advantageous state to the transition to the advantageous state. During the game period from the start to the end of the advantageous state, specifically, the first point acquisition period that starts with the transition to the first advantageous state, the effect display device 24 displays the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the secret mode. To do. Then, during the game period after the start of the next point acquisition period, the effect display device 24 displays the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the notification mode.

FIG.33(b) has shown the production transition control by the sub-control apparatus 32 when the game state which depends on the operation|movement of the instruction|indication function at the time of power activation is the 1st advantageous state.
As can be seen from FIG. 33(b), as a result of the internal lottery after the power is turned on, the lottery category determined to be won in the advantageous state transition lottery in the non- advantageous state is won, that is, until the advantageous state transition lottery trigger is won. During the game period, the non-advantageous state corresponding effect is displayed on the effect display device 24. As described above, in the advantageous state transition lottery in the non-advantageous state, it is determined that if any one of the lottery categories is won as a result of the internal lottery while staying in the RT1-3 state, the game period is Even if it is bad, it will be a few games. Since it is already in the advantageous state, specifically, the first advantageous state, the advantageous state transition lottery is not executed, and the winning of the advantageous state transition lottery trigger role is used as a trigger for the effect transition.
After that, during the game period until the current point acquisition period ends, the effect display device 24 displays the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the secret mode. Then, during the game period after the start of the next point acquisition period, the effect display device 24 displays the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the notification mode.

  Although not shown in FIGS. 33(a) and 33(b), if the player wins the AT transfer right grant lottery process at the end of the point acquisition period and shifts to the second advantageous state, the sub control device 32 The effect display device 24 executes an effect corresponding to the second advantageous state (hereinafter referred to as a second advantageous state corresponding effect).

FIG. 33(c) shows the sub-control device at the time of transition from the end of the advantageous state (specifically, the second advantageous state) to the advantageous state (specifically, the first advantageous state) through the non-advantageous state. 32 shows effect transition control by 32.
As can be seen from FIG. 33C, during the second advantageous state, the effect display device 24 displays the effect corresponding to the second advantageous state. During the game period from the start of the non-advantageous state accompanying the end of the advantageous state to the transition to the advantageous state, the non-advantageous state corresponding effect is displayed on the effect display device 24. In the advantageous state, specifically, in the game period after the start of the first point acquisition period that starts with the transition to the first advantageous state, display the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the notification mode on the effect display device 24. I am trying.

  As can be seen by comparing FIG. 33( a) and FIG. 33( b ), in any case, from the non-advantageous state corresponding effect after the power is turned on, through the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the secret mode, the notification mode To the first advantageous state corresponding effect. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the presence or absence of the setting change from the transition of the effect on the effect display device 24 after the power is turned on. Further, since it is not possible to make it impossible to determine whether or not there is a setting change without providing a period for the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the secret mode, this period is necessary, but the first in the notification mode in the notification mode. The problem is how to switch to the advantageous state corresponding effect. In the slot machine 1, for the game period until the point acquisition period of 1 ends after the power is turned on, the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the secret mode and the subsequent point acquisition period as the first advantageous state corresponding effect in the notification mode. There is. As a result, the first advantageous state corresponding effect period in the secret mode can be set to 1 point acquisition period at the longest, and the player's psychology of starting a new point acquisition period also moves to the next point acquisition period. It is possible to switch the effect mode at an appropriate timing for switching.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the matters described in the claims.
