When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion section 4 or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the bet number using credits. When a specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state, the predetermined pay lines L1 to L5 (see FIG. 1) are activated and the operation of the start switch 7 is activated, that is, the game. Is ready to start. In addition, when the medals are thrown in exceeding the maximum number out of the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount is added to the credit. Further, although a plurality of pay lines are applied in the present embodiment, only one pay line may be applied.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated and the symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are continuously changed. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are being rotated, stop control is performed on the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the rotation of the reels is stopped. The reel is stopped, and the design of the reel is derived and displayed as a display result on the transparent window 3.

In the stop control, control for stopping the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operation is performed within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds in this embodiment) from the time when the operation of each stop switch is performed. Is done. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times in 1 minute, and the pattern for 80 (rotation)×21 (the number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 21 frames)=1680 frames is changed, so the predetermined maximum By the time the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, it is possible to pull in symbols for up to 4 frames. In other words, in the stop control, the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated and the symbols up to four frames ahead of them, a total of five symbols (withdrawal range), are one symbol. Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

Accordingly, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination that is won by the internal lottery described later is selected. If the symbols that make up are within the pull-in range from the symbol when the stop switch is operated to four frames ahead, pull the symbol onto the winning line and stop the rotation of the reel when the stop switch is operated. On the other hand, if the symbols that make up the winning combination that has been won in the internal lottery are not within the pull-in range, the symbols that make up the winning combination that have not been won in the internal lottery are on the winning line. In order not to stop, it is possible to pull in a symbol that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line and control the rotation of the reel operated by the stop switch to be stopped.

When all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, one game ends, and a combination of symbols of a predetermined winning combination on the pay line is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. Is won, and the number of medals determined according to the winning is awarded to the player and added to the credit. When the number of credits reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). Further, on the pay line, when the symbol combination accompanied by the transition of the game state is stopped as the display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the game state is shifted to the combination of the symbols.

In the present embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all reels are stopped. Also, the control of one unit for executing the game (game control) starts when all the controls accompanying the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the types of winning combinations (hereinafter, referred to as winning combinations) are determined according to the gaming state, and it is not necessary to set a small winning combination involving payout of medals and the number of bets. There is a re-gaming role in which a re-gaming that allows the next game to be started is given, and a special role accompanied by a transition to a gaming state (special state) advantageous to the player. Below, the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are collectively called a general winning combination. In order for the winning of each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination. In the internal lottery, before the display result of all reels 2L, 2C, 2R is derived by the main control unit 41, whether or not the winning of each of the above-mentioned winning combinations is permitted (specifically, When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the bet number set, the random number is used for the determination.

Of the winning flags of each combination, the winning flags of the small combination and the re-game combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flags of the special combination are The flag is valid until the combination of the allowed combinations is prepared, and is invalid in the game in which the combination of the allowed combinations is prepared. That is, once the winning flag of a special winning combination has been won, even if the combination of winning combinations permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag will not be invalidated and will be carried over to the next game. There is.

In addition, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, the stop operation order, the operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. The winning combination is a winning combination of a winning combination and a re-playing combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a navigation target winning combination). For the navigation target combination, for example, when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode set in advance, a combination that is a more advantageous stop mode than a stop mode that is stopped when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode, In addition, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode determined in advance, the advantageous stop mode has a higher ratio of stopping than in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode involving awarding of medals but also a stop mode involving a transition to an advantageous game state, a stop mode in which a transition to an unfavorable game state is avoided.

The main control unit 41 executes navigation notification for notifying navigation information capable of specifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display device 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT) which is a possible notification period. The main control unit 41 gives the player the right to be controlled by the AT, starts the control of the AT, and controls the AT. When the AT is controlled, the navigation notification is executed by winning the navigation target combination, and the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are advantageous to the player (for example, the pressing order, (Operation timing, etc.) by using the game auxiliary display 12, and by transmitting a command capable of specifying an operation mode that is advantageous for the player to the sub-control unit 91, the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. A navigation effect to be notified using 51 or the like is executed. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the navigation target winning combination won in the internal lottery can be surely won.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is provided with the game auxiliary display 12 capable of displaying the payout number of medals, the error code, and the navigation information, and the game auxiliary display 12 is used in the navigation notification control. Although the navigation information is notified by using the display device, a dedicated display device capable of displaying only the navigation information may be provided, and the navigation information may be notified by using the dedicated display device in the navigation notification control.

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment can control the game section to be either a normal section or an advantageous section.

The normal section is a game section in which no navigation information is given, and it is started when the next game is started after the advantageous section is finished, and it is decided to shift to the advantageous section by the advantageous section transition lottery. It is ended by being done. In the normal section, the section display LED 19 is turned on to not display the section indicating that the section is controlled to the advantageous section, and the section display LED 19 is controlled to be in the off state.

Further, in the normal section, the advantageous section transition lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, and it is determined whether or not the advantageous section transition lottery is performed and the advantageous section transition lottery is performed. Further, in the normal section, even if the AT lottery target wins in the internal lottery, the AT lottery is not performed, so that it is not decided to be controlled by the AT and is not controlled by the AT. .. In addition, in the AT lottery during the normal section, the probability of winning the AT control is set to 0, so that the AT control may not be determined.

The advantageous section is a game section in which navigation notification may be performed, and is a gaming section that is advantageous as compared with the normal section because navigation notification can be executed. The advantageous section is started when the next game is started after it is decided to shift to the advantageous section by the advantageous section transition lottery in the normal section, and is ended when a predetermined advantageous section end condition is satisfied. . In the advantageous section, the navigation display is first performed after the start of the advantageous section, so that the section display is started at the start of the game in which the payout rate (the number of payouts/the number of bets) of medals can exceed 100%, and the section is displayed. The fact that the LED 19 is controlled to the advantageous section is notified by controlling the LED 19 to the lighting state. Further, in the advantageous section, the navigation information is given when a predetermined navigation condition is satisfied (in the present embodiment, it is controlled to the AT state described later and the navigation target winning combination is won in the internal lottery). The operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, is notified.

Further, in the advantageous section, the AT lottery is performed by winning a predetermined AT lottery target combination in the internal lottery. By winning the AT lottery, the AT state is subsequently entered in which the AT is controlled. Then, when the winning combination for the navigation is won in the internal lottery, the navigation notification is performed, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player is notified, and the advantageous section is , The game section is more advantageous for the player than the normal section.

As the end condition of the advantageous section, the end condition 1 which is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of advantageous section games) reaches the upper limit number of games (1500 games in this embodiment), the net number of medals to be increased in the advantageous section. Is a specified number (in the present embodiment, 2388 (the maximum number of payouts in the slot machine 1 (15) is subtracted from the upper limit of 2400) and the maximum number (3) used for setting the bet number is added. End condition 2 that is satisfied when the value exceeds the specified value)), the end condition that can be satisfied without being based on the number of advantageous zone games and the net number of medals, and the predetermined arbitrary condition (for example, that the AT state ends). And the end condition 3 that is satisfied when a predetermined number of games have passed after the end of the AT state is satisfied, and the advantageous section ends when at least one of the end conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied. To be done.

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, when the game section is controlled to the normal section, the advantageous section transition lottery is performed by winning the advantageous section transition lottery target winning combination in the internal lottery, and the advantageous section transition lottery is carried out. By winning, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section, but when the game section is controlled to the normal section, a predetermined advantageous section transition combination is won, and the game section is shifted to the advantageous section. It may be configured to move to.

[Regarding AT control status]
The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment can control the AT-related control states into a plurality of types including a normal state, an AT state, and an addition state. The normal state is a state in which AT control is not performed. The AT state is a state in which the AT is controlled. The additional state is a state in which the AT is controlled and the fact that the number of games controlled by the AT (the number of AT games) is added is determined at a higher rate than in the AT state.

The main control unit 41 controls the control state regarding the AT to the normal state when the above-mentioned game section is controlled to the normal section. Then, after the game section is shifted to the normal section, while the control state regarding the AT is being controlled to the normal state, a predetermined AT lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, so that the AT state (AT state 1 , AT state 2), an AT lottery for determining whether to control the AT state 2) is performed. Then, when it is determined to win in the AT lottery and the AT state is controlled, a predetermined transition condition (in this embodiment, after winning the AT lottery, a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 The number of AT games according to the type of AT state determined in the AT lottery (100 games in AT state 1 and 50 games in AT state 2 in this embodiment). (Game) is added to an AT game number counter that counts the number of remaining games for controlling the AT state, and shifts to the corresponding AT state (AT state 1, AT state 2). In the AT state 1, a larger number of AT games are provided at the start of the AT state 1 than at the start of the AT state 2, and the AT state 1 is compared to the AT state 2 by the player. Is in an advantageous state for

In the AT state, the value of the AT game number counter is decremented by 1 each time the game is played, and the AT state is terminated and the state is shifted to the normal state at the end of the game when the remaining number of AT games is 0. .. Further, even when the above-described advantageous zone end condition is satisfied, the AT state is ended and the normal state is entered.

In addition, in the AT state, each time the navigation target winning combination described above is won in the internal lottery, control is performed so as to perform navigation notification for notifying an operation mode that is advantageous to the player. In addition, in the AT state, a predetermined additional lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, and an additional lottery is performed to determine whether to increase the number of AT games, and the additional lottery is won. The number of games is added to the number of remaining AT games.

In addition, in the AT state, a predetermined addition state lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, so that the addition state lottery for deciding whether or not to shift to the addition state is performed. Then, when the additional state lottery is won, the precursory period control is performed. In the precursory period control, the period until the transition to the supplementary state in the game won in the supplemental state lottery (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the precursory period) is within a predetermined number of games (4 to 7 games in this embodiment). An additional-state game in which the number of remaining games to be controlled to the additional state is counted at the end of the last game in which the precursor period determined from the above is selected and then the precursor period over the number of games determined by the precursor period lottery elapses. A predetermined number of games (10 games in this embodiment) is added to the number counter to shift to the addition state.

In the add-on state, the add-on lottery is performed with a higher winning rate than the add-on lottery in the AT state in each game, and the number of games won in the add-on lottery is added to the remaining AT game number. Further, the addition state game number counter is decremented by 1 in each game. Then, after the transition to the addition state, the addition state game number counter becomes 0, and before the transition to the addition state at the end of the game in which it is specified that a predetermined number of games (10 games in this embodiment) have elapsed To the AT state. Further, when the above-mentioned advantageous zone end condition is satisfied while the additional state is being controlled, the AT state is terminated and the normal state is entered even when the number of remaining games in the additional state or the AT state remains. Move.

In addition, in the added state, the AT game number is not decremented by 1 each time a game is played, but an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is notified each time the aforementioned navigation target winning combination is won in the internal lottery. Control to perform navigation notification. In the add-on state, the add-on lottery is performed with a higher winning rate than the add-on lottery in the AT state in each game, and the add-on state is more advantageous to the player than the AT state.

In this way, the main control unit 41, when the control state relating to the AT is controlled to the AT state, the predetermined addition state lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, and then the main control unit 41 controls the addition state. After winning the additional state lottery, the precursory period is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and when the precursory period elapses, the control state regarding the AT is controlled to the additional state.

In addition, the main control unit 41 performs a precursory period lottery when controlling in the precursory period, and controls the precursory period over the number of games determined in the precursory period lottery.

The main control unit 41 wins by AT lottery while controlling the control state related to the AT to the normal state, and when transitioning to the AT state, a warning for a predetermined number of games before transitioning to the AT state. It may be configured to control the time period and shift to the AT state when the precursory period elapses.

[Regarding production control related to the precursory period]
The effect control performed by the sub control unit 91 in relation to the sign period will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

As described above, the main control unit 41 performs the additional state lottery by winning the predetermined additional state lottery target winning combination in the internal lottery while controlling the control state regarding the AT to the AT state. By winning the addition state lottery, it is possible to control the addition state thereafter. After winning the additional state lottery, the precursory period is controlled to control the precursory period over a predetermined number of games (4 to 7 games in the present embodiment), and when the precursory period elapses, transition to the supplementary state. To control.

Further, the main control unit 41 can transmit a command capable of specifying the progress status of the game, the control state, etc. to the sub control unit 91 at a predetermined timing. For example, when the internal lottery is performed, the internal lottery A command that can specify the winning result (e.g., winning of a winning combination in the additional state lottery, winning of a winning target in the navigation, etc.), a command that can specify the lottery result of the additional state drawing when the additional state drawing is performed, a lottery period lottery Command that can specify the number of games in the precursory period that was won in the precursory period lottery when performing, and a command that can specify the stop switch that was operated each time the stop switch that stopped rotation control in the game was operated , The operation of the stop switch for stopping the rotation of the last reels 2L, 2C, 2R in the game (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the third stop operation) is finished, and the rotation of all reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped. Then, a command or the like capable of specifying that the game has ended is transmitted.

On the other hand, when it is specified that the sub control unit 91 wins the additional state lottery based on the command received from the main control unit 41 and is controlled in the precursor period, the sub control unit 91 is controlled in the precursor period. A continuous effect described below that indicates the possibility that a benefit (in this embodiment, it is controlled to be in an additional state) may be given by performing a precursor effect control that performs effect control that indicates that the effect is performed, and the continuous effect is performed. While performing the prestage effect that suggests the possibility of being controlled, if it is specified that it is not won in the additional state lottery and is not controlled during the precursor period, control of the production that suggests the possibility of being controlled during the precursor period is performed. It is possible to carry out a fake aura effect control to perform a continuous effect or a preceding effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control unit 41 performs the addition state lottery when the addition state lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the game controlled to the AT state. Then, the command capable of specifying the lottery result of the addition state lottery is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. In addition, when the additional state lottery is won, lottery is performed during the precursory period. Then, a command that can specify the lottery result of the precursory period lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. After that, the precursory period control is performed to wait for a predetermined number of games (4 to 7 games in this embodiment) won in the precursory period lottery, and the AT control state is set at the end of the game when the predetermined number of games has elapsed. The game is shifted to the add-on state, and the next game of the game is controlled to the add-on state.

On the other hand, when the addition state lottery is performed based on the command received from the main control unit 41 and it is determined that the addition is performed in the addition state lottery, the sub control unit 91 starts the indication effect control. On the other hand, when the addition state lottery is performed based on the received command, but it is specified that the addition state lottery has not been won, the false precursor effect control is started.

In the omen effect control, first, the lottery result of the omen period lottery, that is, the number of games in the omen period is specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, and is set in the omen period counter for counting the number of games remaining in the omen period. To do. The precursor period counter is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c of the sub control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 subtracts one from the precursor period counter at the end of each game to count the number of games remaining in the precursor period.

After setting the precursor period counter, the pre-stage effect lottery for determining whether to perform the pre-stage effect is performed. In the pre-stage production lottery, as will be described later, a lottery is performed based on whether or not it is during a precursory period, whether or not the game is a navigation production, and whether or not to perform the pre-stage production and when the pre-stage production is performed. The type of the preceding stage effect (preceding stage effects A to H), whether or not to perform the continuous effect, and the type of the continuous effect when performing the continuous effect (continuous effect A to D) are determined.

If it is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and continuous production will not be performed or if the pre-stage production will not be performed (in the case of non-winning), the pre-stage production and continuous production will not be performed in the game, and the precursor period After updating the counter so that it is decremented by 1, the process waits until the next game is started. On the other hand, if it is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are to be performed or if the pre-stage production is to be performed (in the case of winning), the front stage of the type decided in the pre-stage production lottery in the game. It is controlled so as to produce an effect (see FIG. 10 and the like).

As will be described later, in the former stage effect, the continuous effect is performed by displaying the continuous effect transition suggestion image (see FIG. 10D, etc.) that indicates that the continuous effect is performed in the final stage on the liquid crystal display 51. The first-type pre-stage production that suggests the above, and the second-type pre-stage production that does not suggest that the continuous production is performed without displaying the continuous production transition suggestion image. In the pre-stage production lottery, whether to perform the first-stage pre-stage production or the second-type pre-stage production as the type of pre-stage production is also determined, and when it is determined that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are performed, While it is determined that the first-stage pre-stage production is performed as the front-stage production, when it is determined that only the front-stage production is performed, it is determined that the second-type front-stage production is performed as the front-stage production. There is.

If it is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that only the pre-stage production is performed, the continuous production transition suggestion image is not displayed at the final stage of the pre-stage production, the precursor period counter is decremented by 1, and the next game starts. Wait until done. On the other hand, when it is determined in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are to be performed, the continuous production transition suggestion image is displayed at the final stage of the pre-stage production.

After the continuous effect transition suggestive image is displayed, when the start operation of the next game (the operation of the start switch 7 in the state where the specified number of bets is set) is performed, the continuous effect transition suggestive image The display is finished and the continuous effect is started. After that, in a game in which a predetermined number of games (three games in this embodiment) including the game for starting the continuous production have passed, that is, in the final game of the continuous production, a stop switch for stopping the rotation of the last reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When the operation (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a third stop operation) is finished and the rotations of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the fact that the transition to the loading state is confirmed is notified. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the addition state transition confirmation notification image (see FIG. 9D).

After the addition state transition confirmation notification image is displayed, the start operation of the next game is performed, so that the display of the addition state transition confirmation notification image is ended and the indication effect control is ended, and the main control unit 41 side The control is performed so as to produce an effect according to the addition state.

In the false aura effect control, first, a predetermined number of games (4 games in this embodiment) is set in a false aura period counter for counting the maximum number of remaining games for which the false aura effect control is performed. The false precursor period counter is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c of the sub control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 counts the number of remaining games by subtracting 1 from the false precursory period counter at the end of each game. The false precursory period counter may be a counter common to the aforementioned precursory period counter.

After setting the false aura period counter, the first stage production lottery is performed in the same manner as the above-mentioned first stage production control to determine whether to perform the first stage production, continuous production, and the type of each production when performing the first stage production, continuous production. To do.

Then, if it is determined in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are not performed or if the pre-stage production is not performed (in the case of non-winning), the pre-stage production and the continuous production are not performed in the game, A continuous lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the false aura effect control. In the continuous lottery, it is determined with a 50% probability that the false aura effect control will be continued, and with a 50% probability that the false aura effect control will not be continued. By determining to continue, the false aura effect control is performed also in the next game.

When it is determined in the continuous lottery that the false precursor effect control is to be continued, the false precursory period counter is updated by subtracting 1, and then the false precursory period counter value is not 0 by referring to the false precursory period counter. In this case, the false predictive presentation control is continued, and the process waits until the next game is started. On the other hand, when it is not determined to continue in the continuous lottery (in the case of non-winning), and when it is determined that the false predictive presentation control is continued but the false predictive period counter value is 0, , Control to end the false aura effect control.

On the other hand, if it is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are to be performed or if the pre-stage production is to be performed (in the case of winning), the front stage of the type decided in the pre-stage production lottery in the game. It is controlled so as to produce an effect (see FIG. 10 and the like). When it is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that only the pre-stage production is performed, the continuous production transition suggestion image is not displayed at the final stage of the pre-stage production, and after the pre-stage production is finished, the continuous lottery described above is performed. I do. Then, when it is determined in the continuous lottery that the false precursor effect control is to be continued, the false precursory period counter is updated by subtracting 1, and then the false precursory period counter value is referred to by referring to the false precursory period counter value. If is not 0, the false aura effect control is continued to wait until the next game is started, while it is not determined to continue in the continuous lottery (when not winning), and When it is determined that the false aura effect control is to be continued, but the false aura period counter value is 0, control is performed to end the false aura effect control.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are to be performed, the continuous production transition suggestion image is displayed at the final stage of the pre-stage production. Then, when the start operation of the next game (the operation of the start switch 7 in the state where the specified number of bets is set) is performed, the display of the continuous effect transition suggestion image is ended, and the continuous effect is generated. Control to start. After that, in a game in which a predetermined number of games (three games in this embodiment) including the game for starting the continuous production have passed, that is, in the final game of the continuous production, a stop switch for stopping the rotation of the last reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When the operation (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a third stop operation) is finished and the rotations of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the display on the liquid crystal display 51 is darkened to add the state. A liquid crystal display 51 displays a darkening result suggestion image notifying that the process does not shift to (see FIG. 9E).

After the blackout result suggestion image is displayed, the operation of starting the next game is performed, so that the display of the blackout result suggestion image is ended and the false aura effect control is ended.

Next, the first-stage effect lottery will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

In the first-stage production lottery, a lottery is performed with a predetermined production pattern as to whether or not to perform the first-stage production and continuous production. The effect pattern includes a first group effect pattern for performing the first-stage effect and the continuous effect, and a second group effect pattern for performing only the first-stage effect without performing the continuous effect. The prestage effect includes a plurality of types of prestage effects A to H, and the continuous effect includes a plurality of types of continuous effects A to D.

The first group effect pattern is an effect pattern for performing one preceding effect of the preceding effects A to H and one continuous effect of the continuous effects A to D (for example, an effect pattern for performing the preceding effect A and the continuous effect A or the preceding effect). A production pattern for performing production A and continuous production B) is included. By winning the effect pattern included in the first group effect pattern in the first-stage effect lottery, the combination of the kind of the first-stage effect and the type of continuous effect to be executed is determined.

The second group effect pattern includes an effect pattern for performing one of the preceding effects A to H (for example, an effect pattern for performing the preceding effect A or an effect pattern for performing the preceding effect B). The type of pre-stage production to be executed is determined by winning the production pattern included in the second group production pattern in the pre-stage production lottery.

In the first-stage effect lottery, the omen effect control is performed, and when the number of remaining games in the omen period identified based on the omen period counter is 5 or more, the second group effect pattern is selected as the lottery target. When the number of games remaining in the precursor period is four, the first group effect pattern is selected as a lottery target. In addition, when the aura production is controlled, and the number of games remaining in the aura period is 5 or more, and the second group production pattern is selected as a lottery target, the fact that the aforesaid production is performed is elected. However, when the number of games remaining in the precursor period is four, when the first group effect pattern is selected as the lottery target, the former effect and the continuous effect are performed. The effect is always won, and the type of pre-stage production and the type of continuous production are decided. As a result, in a game in which the number of remaining games in the precursory period is four, one type of pre-stage production is performed, and in the game in which the number of remaining games in the precursory period is three, continuous production is started, The third game of continuous production, that is, the final game is played in the final game, and the notification that the privilege (in the present embodiment, be controlled to be in the additional state) is given is given.

Further, in the first-stage effect lottery, the first group effect pattern and the second group effect pattern are targeted for the lottery when the false precursor effect control is being performed. Further, when the first-group effect pattern and the second-group effect pattern are targeted for the lottery while the false aura effect control is being performed, the effect of performing the preceding stage effect may or may not be won. The fact that the first stage effect and the continuous effect are performed may or may not be won.

As shown in FIG. 6A, in the pre-stage production lottery, it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed, or that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are performed. The lottery is performed so that the degree of expectation that "is given" becomes a predetermined value. The degree of expectation that the privilege is given when the first stage production is performed is based on whether or not the navigation target role is won in the internal lottery, that is, whether or not the navigation production is performed in the game. It is set, and as shown in FIG. 6B, the expectation level G2 due to the pre-stage production being performed when the navigation target winning combination is elected, the pre-stage production is performed when the navigation target winning combination is not elected. It is set to be higher than the expectation level G1 due to being performed.

Here, the appearance rate g1 when the privilege is given to the first-stage effect can be calculated by multiplying the probability that the privilege is given and the probability that the first-stage effect is executed when the privilege is given. .. Further, the appearance rate g2 when the privilege is not given to the first-stage effect can be calculated by multiplying the probability that the privilege is not given and the probability that the first-stage effect is executed when the privilege is not given. The degree of expectation that the privilege suggested when the prestage effect is executed is the appearance rate g1 when the privilege is given for the prestage effect, and the appearance rate g1 and the privilege are given for the prestage effect. It can be calculated by dividing by the added value of the appearance rate g2 when not performed. The probability that the pre-stage effect will be executed when the privilege is given and the navigation target role is elected, and the pre-stage effect is performed when the privilege is not given and the navigation target role is elected. Probability of being executed, a privilege is given, and the probability that the pre-stage production will be executed when the navi target role is not won, and the privilege is not granted, and the navi target role is not won The probability that the pre-stage effect is sometimes executed depends on the degree of expectation G2 due to the pre-stage production being performed when the navigation target combination is elected, and the pre-stage production being performed when the navigation target combination is not elected. It is set to be higher than the expectation G1.

As shown in FIG. 7(a), the continuous effect includes continuous effects A to D having different effect contents. Continuous effect A is an effect in which the enemy character A appears as an opponent, continuous effect B is an effect in which the enemy character B appears as an opponent, and continuous effect C is where the enemy character C appears as an opponent. The continuous production D is a production in which the enemy character D appears as a confrontation opponent. The above-mentioned first group effect pattern includes an effect pattern in which continuous effect A is performed as a continuous effect, an effect pattern in which continuous effect B is effected, an effect pattern in which continuous effect C is effected, and an effect pattern in which continuous effect D is effected. In the pre-stage production lottery, when it is determined that the continuous production is to be performed, which of the continuous productions A to D is to be performed is also determined as the type of the continuous production.

As shown in FIG. 7B, in the first-stage effect lottery, a benefit (in the present embodiment, being controlled to be in an additional state) suggested when the continuous effect D is executed is given. Compared to the expectation level δ, the degree of expectation γ for giving the privilege suggested when the continuous effect C is executed is high, and the benefit suggested when the continuous effect C is executed is given. When the continuous effect B is executed, the expectation level β for giving the privilege suggested when the continuous effect B is executed is higher than the expected level γ of the effect As compared with the degree of expectation β of being provided with the suggested benefit, the degree of expectation α of being provided with the suggested benefit when the continuous production A is executed is increased. ing.

Here, the appearance rate X when a privilege is given to one continuous effect is obtained by multiplying the probability that the privilege is given and the probability that the continuous effect is executed when the privilege is given. Can be calculated. In addition, the appearance rate Y when the privilege is not granted for one continuous effect is calculated by multiplying the probability that the privilege is not granted and the probability that the continuous effect is executed when the privilege is not granted. it can. The degree of expectation that the privilege suggested when the one continuous effect is executed is equal to the appearance rate X when the privilege is given to the one continuous effect. It can be calculated by dividing by the added value of the appearance rate Y when the privilege is not given to the continuous production. The probability that each continuous effect is executed when the privilege is given and the probability that each continuous effect is executed when the privilege is not given are such that the expectation degree α of the continuous effect A is the expectation degree of the continuous effect B. It is set so as to be higher than β, the expectation degree β of the continuous effect B is higher than the expectation degree γ of the continuous effect C, and the expectation degree γ of the continuous effect C is higher than the expectation degree δ of the continuous effect D.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the prestage effect includes prestage effects A to H having different effect contents. The pre-stage effect A uses all of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 as described later, so that the main effect image (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as background image) corresponding to the control state regarding the AT is invisible. And suggests the type of continuous effect that is performed after the preceding stage effect A, and produces in response to the first stop operation and the third stop operation of the stop switch being performed during execution of the preceding stage effect A. This is a presentation in which the content is updated twice. The first-stage effect B is performed in a state where the background image is invisible, suggests the type of continuous effect performed after the first-stage effect B, and the first stop operation of the stop switch during the execution of the first-stage effect B, This is an effect in which the effect contents are updated three times in response to the second stop operation and the third stop operation being performed. The first-stage effect C is performed in a state where the background image is invisible, does not suggest the type of continuous effect that is performed after the first-stage effect C, and the first stop operation and the first stop operation of the stop switch during the execution of the first-stage effect C. 3 is an effect in which the effect contents are updated twice in response to the stop operation being performed. The first-stage effect D is performed in a state where the background image is invisible, does not suggest the type of continuous effect performed after the first-stage effect D, and the first stop operation of the stop switch during the execution of the first-stage effect D, This is an effect in which the effect contents are updated three times in response to the second stop operation and the third stop operation being performed. The first-stage effect E is performed in a state where the background image is visible, suggests the type of continuous effect that is performed after the first-stage effect E, and during the execution of the first-stage effect E, the first stop operation of the stop switch and the first stop operation are performed. 3 is an effect in which the effect contents are updated twice in response to the stop operation being performed. The front-stage effect F is performed in a state where the background image is visible, suggests the type of continuous effect performed after the front-stage effect F, and the first stop operation of the stop switch during the execution of the front-stage effect E. It is an effect in which the effect contents are updated three times in response to the second stop operation and the third stop operation being performed. The first-stage effect G is performed in a state in which the background image is visible, does not suggest the type of continuous effect that is performed after the first-stage effect G, and the first stop operation and the first stop operation of the stop switch during execution of the first-stage effect G. 3 is an effect in which the effect contents are updated twice in response to the stop operation being performed. The first-stage effect H is performed in a state in which the background image is visible, does not suggest the type of continuous effect performed after the first-stage effect H, and the first stop operation of the stop switch during the execution of the first-stage effect H, It is an effect in which the effect contents are updated three times in response to the second stop operation and the third stop operation being performed.

As shown in FIG. 8B, when the pre-stage production H is performed as the pre-stage production, the continuous production is performed thereafter when the pre-stage production G is performed as compared with the degree of expectation h1 that the continuous production is performed thereafter. The expectation level g1 for being played is high, and the expectation level f1 for subsequent continuous production is higher than the expectation level g1 when the front stage effect F is performed, and is higher than the expectation level f1. When the effect E is performed, the degree of expectation e1 for performing the subsequent effect is high, and the degree of expectation d1 for performing the subsequent effect when the effect D in the first stage is performed as compared with the expected degree e1. Is higher than the expected degree d1, and when the predecessor production C is performed, the degree of expectation c1 for subsequent continuous production is high, and when the predecessor production B is performed as compared with the expected degree c1. The expectation level b1 for the subsequent continuous production is high, and the predecessor effect is higher than the expectation level b1 so that the expectation level a1 for the subsequent continuous production is higher when the preceding production A is performed. A lottery will be held.

Further, in the pre-stage production, when the pre-stage productions A, B, C, and D in which the background image is invisible are performed, the degree of expectation a1, b1, c1, d1 that the continuous production is performed after that, the background image is visually confirmed. When the impossible pre-stage effects E, F, G, and H are performed, the expectation levels e1, f1, g1, and h1 for the subsequent continuous effects are increased.

In the first-stage production, when the first-stage productions A, B, E, and F that indicate the type of the continuous production to be performed thereafter are performed, the expectations a1, b1, e1, and f1 for the subsequent continuous production being performed are When the pre-stage productions C, D, G, and H that do not indicate the type of continuous production to be performed thereafter are performed, the degree of expectation for subsequent continuous production to be higher than c1, d1, g1, and h1. Is becoming

Further, in the first-stage effect, when the first-stage effects A, C, E, and G are performed in which the number of times the effect contents are updated in response to the stop operation being performed by the stop switch during execution is performed, the continuous effect is performed thereafter. The expectation levels a1, c1, e1, g1 for being given are the pre-stage effects B, D, F, H in which the number of updates of effect contents in response to the stop operation by the stop switch being performed is relatively large. The expectation level b1, d1, f1, and h1 for the subsequent continuous production when performed is higher than that.

Here, the appearance rate x1 when the continuous production is performed for the one front-stage production is the probability that any continuous production is executed, and the one front-stage production is executed when the continuous production is executed. It can be calculated by multiplying the probabilities. In addition, the appearance rate y1 when the continuous production is not performed thereafter for the one preceding production is a multiplication of the probability that no continuous production is executed and the probability that the one preceding production is executed when the continuous production is not executed. Can be calculated by As for the degree of expectation that the continuous production is executed after that, the appearance rate x1 when the continuous production is performed for the one front production is the appearance rate x1. It can be calculated by dividing the first stage effect by the added value of the appearance rate y1 when the continuous effect is not performed thereafter. The probability that the one pre-stage production is executed when the continuous production is executed, and the probability that the one pre-stage production is executed when the continuous production is not executed, are the subsequent productions due to the respective front productions being performed. The degree of expectation that the above is performed is set so as to satisfy the above relationship.

As shown in FIG. 8C, when the pre-stage production H is performed as the pre-stage production, the pre-stage production G is performed in comparison with the degree of expectation h2 that the continuous production A is performed among the continuous productions A to H thereafter. The expectation level g2 for performing the continuous effect A after that is high, and the expectation degree f2 for performing the continuous effect A after that is higher than the expectation degree g2 when the preceding stage effect F is performed. , When the predecessor effect E is performed as compared with the expected degree f2, the expectation level e2 for performing the continuous effect A thereafter is high, and then when the predecessor effect D is performed as compared with the expected degree e2, The degree of expectation d2 for performing the continuous production A is high, and the degree of expectation c2 for performing the continuous production A after that is high when the preceding production C is performed as compared with the expected degree d2, and the degree of expectation is high. When the pre-stage effect B is performed as compared to c2, the degree of expectation b2 for the subsequent continuous effect A being performed is high, and when the pre-stage effect A is performed as compared to the expected degree b2, the subsequent effect A is The pre-stage production lottery is performed such that the degree of expectation a2 for the performance is high. In this way, when the pre-stage production A is performed as the pre-stage production, the degree of expectation that the continuous production A will be performed thereafter is higher than when other pre-stage production is performed, and although not particularly shown, With regard to the continuous effect, the expectation that the specific continuous effect is performed after that is performed is higher than that when the other preceding effect is performed.

Further, in the first-stage effect, when the first-stage effects A, B, C, and D in which the background image is invisible are performed, the degree of expectation a2, b2, c2, and d2 that the continuous effect A is performed is the background image. The expectation level e2, f2, g2, h2 for the subsequent production A being performed when the invisible prestage productions E, F, G, H are performed is higher.

Further, in the first-stage production, when the first-stage productions A, B, E, and F that indicate the type of continuous production to be performed thereafter are performed, the expectations a2, b2, e2, and f2 for the subsequent continuous production A being performed are , When the pre-stage effects C, D, G, and H that do not indicate the type of continuous effect to be performed thereafter are performed, the degree of expectation that the continuous effect A will be performed thereafter is higher than the expectation levels c2, d2, g2, and h2. It is like this.

Further, in the first-stage production, when the first-stage productions A, C, E, and G are performed in which the number of updates of the production content corresponding to the stop operation performed by the stop switch being executed is relatively small, the continuous production A is performed thereafter. Expectations a2, c2, e2, g2 for what is to be performed are pre-stage effects B, D, F, H in which the number of updates of effect contents is relatively large in response to the stop operation being performed by the stop switch during execution. Is higher than the expectations b2, d2, f2, and h2 that the continuous effect is performed thereafter.

Here, the appearance rate x2 when the continuous production A is subsequently performed for the one preceding production is the probability that the continuous production is executed and the probability that the one preceding production is executed when the continuous production A is executed. It can be calculated by multiplying by. In addition, the appearance rate y2 when the continuous production A is not performed thereafter for one pre-stage production is the probability that the continuous production A is not executed and the probability that the one front stage production is executed when the continuous production A is not executed. It can be calculated by multiplication. As for the degree of expectation that the continuous production A is executed after the first pre-stage production is executed, the appearance rate x2 when the continuous production A is subsequently performed for the first front production is the appearance rate x2. It can be calculated by dividing the one preceding stage effect by the added value of the appearance rate y2 when the continuous effect A is not performed thereafter. The probability that the one preceding stage effect is executed when the continuous effect A is executed and the probability that the one preceding stage effect is executed when the continuous effect A is not executed are The degree of expectation that the continuous effect A is performed is set so as to satisfy the above-mentioned relationship.

As shown in FIG. 8D, when the pre-stage effect G is performed as compared to the degree of expectation h3 that the privilege is given when one succeeding effect is performed when the pre-stage effect H is performed. In addition, the degree of expectation g3 that the privilege is given when the one continuous production is performed thereafter is high, and when the preceding production F is performed as compared with the expected degree g3, the one continuous production is performed thereafter. There is a high degree of expectation f3 that the privilege is given when the player is called, and the privilege is given when the preceding one of the continuous effects is performed when the preceding stage effect E is performed as compared with the expectation level f3. The degree of expectation e3 to be high is high, and the degree of expectation d3 that the privilege is given when the first stage production D is performed subsequently when the predecessor production D is performed is high, When the pre-stage effect C is performed as compared with the expectation degree d3, the expectation level c3 for giving a privilege when the one continuous production is performed thereafter is high, and the pre-stage effect is higher than the expectation level c3. When B is performed, the degree of expectation b3 that the privilege is given when the one continuous production is performed subsequently is high, and when the preceding stage production A is performed as compared with the expected degree b3, the one that is subsequently performed. The first-stage production lottery is performed such that the degree of expectation a3 of the privilege being given is increased when the continuous production is performed.

In the pre-stage production, the background images are invisible when the expectation levels a3, b3, c3, d3 for giving the privilege when the pre-stage productions A, B, C, D in which the background image is invisible are performed. The expectation level e3, f3, g3, h3 for giving a privilege when the preceding stage effects E, F, G, H are performed is higher.

Further, in the first-stage production, the expectation levels a3, b3, e3, f3 for the privilege being given when the first-stage production A, B, E, F that suggests the type of continuous production to be performed thereafter are The expectation level c3, d3, g3, h3 for giving a privilege when the preceding stage effects C, D, G, H that do not indicate the type of continuous effect to be performed is higher. There is.

Further, in the first-stage effect, a privilege is given when the first-stage effects A, C, E, and G are performed in which the number of updates of the effect contents in response to the stop operation being performed by the stop switch being performed is relatively small. The expectation levels a3, c3, e3, and g3 are the pre-stage effects B, D, F, and H, in which the effect content is updated relatively frequently in response to the stop operation by the stop switch being executed. The expectation level b3, d3, f3, and h3 that the privilege is given at the time of being called is higher than the expectation level.

Here, the appearance rate x3 when the privilege is given to the one preceding effect and the one continuous effect is the probability that the privilege is given, and the one preceding effect and the one consecutive time when the privilege is given. It can be calculated by multiplying the probability that the effect will be executed. Further, the appearance rate y3 when the privilege is not granted for the one preceding effect and the one continuous effect is the probability that the privilege is not granted and the one preceding effect and the one continuous effect when the privilege is not granted. It can be calculated by multiplying the probabilities. The degree of expectation that the privilege suggested when the first pre-stage production and the first continuous production are executed is the appearance rate when the privilege is given to the first pre-stage production and the first continuous production. It is possible to calculate x3 by dividing the appearance rate x3 by the added value of the appearance rate y3 when the privilege is not granted for the one-stage production and the one continuous production. The probability that one pre-stage production and one continuous production are executed when the privilege is given, and the probability that one pre-stage production and one continuous production are executed when the privilege is not provided satisfy the above relationship. Is set.

In this way, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform the pre-stage production that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and the pre-stage production suggests the possibility of continuous production. A first pre-stage production (pre-stage production C, D, G, H) that does not indicate the type of the continuous production, and a second pre-stage production (pre-stage production that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and suggests the type of the continuous production. Effects A, B, E, F) are included. Then, in the first-stage production lottery for determining whether to perform the first-stage production, the expectation that the privilege (in the present embodiment, being controlled to be in the additional state) to be given by the first first-stage production is compared. As a result, the degree of expectation due to the second front stage effect being performed is increased.

Thereby, when a specific type of continuous effect is performed after the first front-stage effect is performed, and when a specific type of continuous effect is performed after the second front-stage effect is performed, the suggestion of the privilege is given. When the specific type of continuous effect is performed after the second front-stage effect is performed, compared to when the specific type of continuous effect is performed after the first front-stage effect is performed, However, it has been suggested that there is a high possibility that benefits will be granted. The advantage associated with granting a privilege is determined when a specific type of continuous production is performed after the first front stage production is performed and when a specific type of continuous production is performed after the second front stage production is performed. Since it is different, even when the same type of continuous production is performed, it is possible to change the advantage degree regarding the privilege by the difference in the type of the first-stage production performed before the continuous production is performed, and the first-stage production is preferably performed. You can In addition, since the pre-stage production includes a first pre-stage production that does not indicate the type of continuous production and a second pre-stage production that suggests the type of continuous production, it depends on whether or not the type of continuous production is suggested by the pre-stage production. , It is possible to change the degree of advantage related to the privilege, and it is possible to suitably perform the first stage effect.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is capable of performing a prestage effect that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and in the prestage effect, the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Is a predetermined number of times (two times in the present embodiment), and the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is the third front stage production (prestage production A, C, E, G). A fourth pre-stage production that is more than the production (pre-stage productions B, D, F, and H that are updated three times more than the pre-stage productions A, C, E, and G) are included. In the pre-stage production lottery for determining whether to perform the pre-stage production and the continuous production, the third pre-stage production is performed as compared with the degree of expectation that the continuous production is performed by the fourth front production. The expectation that the continuous effect is performed is high, and the expectation that the privilege (in the present embodiment, be controlled to be in the additional state) is given is high.

As a result, the continuous effect is performed when the third front-stage effect is performed that has a smaller number of updates than the rate at which the continuous effect is performed when the fourth front-stage effect is performed that is updated more times than the third front-stage effect. Even if the ratio is high and the number of updates in the pre-stage production is small, it can be expected that continuous production is performed subsequent to the pre-stage production, and further benefits (in the present embodiment, it is controlled to the addition state). Can be expected to be given, and the first stage effect can be suitably performed.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is capable of performing a prestage effect that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and in the prestage effect, the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Is a predetermined number of times (two times in the present embodiment), and the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is the third front stage production (prestage production A, C, E, G). 4th pre-stage production that is more than the production (pre-stage production B, D, F, H that has been updated more times 3 times than pre-stage production A, C, E, G) is included. Compared with the degree of expectation that continuous production is performed by performing the front stage production, the degree of expectation that continuous production is performed by performing the third front stage production is high and the privilege (in the present embodiment, The degree of expectation of being given a "additional control" is becoming higher. Furthermore, in the third pre-stage production (pre-stage production A, C, E, G), the production is updated according to the first reel stop (first stop) and the last reel stop (third stop). The effect is not updated in response to the stop (second stop) of the other reels. In the third pre-stage production, the production is not updated in the period after the production is updated in response to the stop of the first reel until the production is updated in accordance with the stop of the last reel. Also, it is possible to expect that a continuous effect will be performed subsequent to the former effect, and further, it is possible to expect that a privilege (in the present embodiment, be controlled to be in an additional state) is given. The effect can be suitably performed. Further, in the third front-stage effect, since the effect is updated in response to the first reel stop, it is possible to suggest the possibility of the third front-stage effect at a relatively early stage in the game, and the subsequent effect is It is possible to focus on whether or not it is updated, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the first stage production.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform a pre-stage production that suggests the possibility of continuous production. In the pre-stage production, the main production image (background image) corresponding to the control state regarding the AT is included. Includes a fifth pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects A, B, C, D) performed in an invisible state and a sixth front-stage effect (pre-stage effects E, F, G, H) performed in a state in which the background image is visible. Be done. In the first-stage production lottery, the expectation that the continuous production is performed by the fifth front-stage production is higher than the expectation that the continuous production is performed by the sixth front-stage production. Moreover, the degree of expectation that the privilege (in the present embodiment, being controlled to be in the additional state) will be increased. As a result, the ratio of continuous effects is higher when the fifth front effect is performed than when the sixth front effect is performed, and the privilege (in the present embodiment, is controlled to be in the additional state). ) Is given a higher percentage. The rate of continuous effect is higher when the fifth front effect is performed in the background image invisible state than when the sixth front effect is performed in the background image visible state, In addition, since the rate of giving a privilege (in this embodiment, being controlled to be in an additional state) is high, it is expected that a continuous effect is given and the privilege is given when the background image is invisible. Can be made

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform a pre-stage production that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and the main control unit 41 has a privilege (in the present embodiment, it is controlled to be in an additional state). When the game is determined to grant the privilege to the game to which the privilege is granted, the sign effect control is performed when the sign period is controlled, and the main control unit 41 determines that the privilege is granted. The pre-stage production lottery for determining whether or not to perform the pre-stage productions A to H and the continuous productions A to D in each game during the precursory period including the played game is performed. Then, while controlling to perform the pre-stage production of the type that was won in the game in which the pre-stage production lottery was decided to perform the pre-stage production, the pre-stage production lottery was not decided to perform the pre-stage production. It is controlled not to perform the first stage effect in the game. As a result, when it is determined that the privilege is to be given, the pre-stage effects A to H are performed in the game in which the privilege is to be given, more than in the game in which the privilege is given. In some cases, the first stage production may be performed in a later game. The pre-stage effect may be performed in the game in which the privilege is determined to be given, or the pre-stage effect may be performed in the game after the game in which the privilege is determined to be determined. Any predecessor production in the game in which a possible event (for example, the additional lottery target winning combination in the internal lottery is won and the symbol combination of the additional lottery target winning combination stops on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, etc.) Even if is not performed, it is possible to expect that the preceding stage effect will be performed in the subsequent game.

[About continuous production]
The effect mode of the continuous effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

The sub-control unit 91 suggests the possibility that a privilege (in this embodiment, it is controlled to be in an additional state) may be awarded over a predetermined number of games (3 games in this embodiment), and finally the privilege is awarded. It is possible to perform a continuous effect that informs whether or not to be performed, and as described above, the continuous effect is performed over a predetermined number of games from the game next to the game in which it is determined that the continuous effect is performed in the first-stage effect lottery. .. The continuous effect includes continuous effects A to D having different effect modes, and whether or not to perform the continuous effect and the type of the continuous effect to be executed are determined by the preceding effect lottery. In addition, the continuous productions A to D are produced by using the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 as described later, so that the main production image (background image) described above cannot be visually recognized by the player. I am supposed to do it.

It is decided in the pre-stage production lottery that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are to be performed, and after the game in which the pre-stage production is performed, an operation to start the next game (start switch when a specified number of bets is set) 7) is performed, the continuous effect is started. After the continuous effect is started, a series of effects including a predetermined number of games (three games in this embodiment) including the game is performed, which suggests that the privilege may be given depending on the content of the effect. When it is determined that the privilege is given, the stop operation by the stop switch that stops the rotation of the last reel in the game in which the predetermined number of games have passed, that is, the final game of the continuous production (third stop) When the operation) is finished and the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, a result notification image for displaying that the privilege is given is displayed. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the privilege is awarded, the stop operation (third stop operation) for stopping the rotation of the last reel in the final game of the continuous production is finished, and all reels 2L When the rotations of 2C and 2R are stopped, the display in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is darkened to display a darkening result suggestive image that suggests that it is not determined that the privilege is given.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, in the continuous production B, for example, the continuous production start condition is satisfied (the next game start operation of the game in which the preceding production is performed is performed), and thus the continuous production is performed. A start image B (an image in which the ally character and the enemy character B face each other in this embodiment) is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 (excluding the display area corresponding to the perspective window 3), and the continuous effect B is displayed. It suggests that it has started (see FIG. 9(a)).

After that, a confrontation image in which the ally character and the enemy character (in the present embodiment, a predetermined character corresponding to the continuous effect among the enemy characters A to D) face each other from the first game to the third game of the continuous production (for example, FIG. (b) and (c)) are displayed in the entire display area (excluding the display area corresponding to the transparent window 3) of the liquid crystal display 51 to execute the battle effect, and the privilege is given according to the difference in the content of the battle effect. Suggest the possibility of being done.

Then, in the final game of the continuous production, when it is determined that the privilege is given, the stop switch operation of the third stop in the final game is ended, and all reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. When this is done, the result notification image B that notifies that the privilege is granted (in the present embodiment, an image in which the teammate character has won the battle, and a logo image including the word "WIN" indicating that the player has won) Is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, in the final game of continuous production, when it is not determined that the privilege is given, the stop switch operation of the third stop in the final game is ended, and all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 is caused to display a darkening result suggestive image B that darkens the display of the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

The darkness result suggestion image is a result suggestion image suggesting that the privilege is not determined to be given in the effect mode corresponding to the type of continuous effect (for example, in continuous effect B, the image in which the teammate character lost the battle). Etc.) and a still image arranged on the front side of the image, and a dark image capable of darkening the display of the liquid crystal display 51 (black and transmittance set to a predetermined value (for example, 30%)). Image). By displaying a darkening result suggesting image on the liquid crystal display 51 to darken the display and suggesting the result of the continuous effect, it is suggested that the privilege is not given.

The sub-control unit 91 performs a next game start operation while the result notification image or the darkening result suggestion image is being displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (in a state where a specified number of bets has been set). The start switch 7 is operated), the control of the continuous effect is ended, and the effect of suggesting the control state (AT state or additional state in this embodiment) regarding the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side is suggested. Control.

Although not particularly shown, in the continuous effect A, the continuous effect start image A (in this embodiment, the image in which the ally character and the enemy character A face each other) is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and in the continuous effect C. , Continuous effect start image C (in this embodiment, an image in which the ally character and enemy character C face each other) is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and in continuous effect D, the continuous effect start image D (in this embodiment). Then, an image in which the ally character and the enemy character D face each other) is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display device 51 to indicate that the continuous effect has started. Further, in the continuous effects A, C, and D as well as in the continuous effect B, the confrontation image in which the ally character and the enemy character that have appeared in the continuous effect start image are confronted is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. It suggests the possibility that the privilege will be given according to the difference in the content of the battle production by executing the battle production. Then, when it is determined that the privilege is granted, the result notification image is displayed in the final stage of the continuous effect to notify that the privilege is granted, while the effect notification image is displayed. If the decision has not been made, a darkening result suggestion image is displayed in the final stage of the continuous effect to indicate that the privilege is not granted.

As described above, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment displays the darkening result suggestive image on the liquid crystal display 51 by displaying the darkening result suggestive image when the privilege (being controlled to be in the additional state) is not given in the continuous effects A to D. On the other hand, the display is controlled to darken, while when the privilege is given, the darkness result suggestive image is not displayed and the display of the liquid crystal display 51 is controlled not to darken. In the continuous effects A to D, the darkening result suggestion image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the display in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is darkened to indicate that the privilege is not given.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is capable of performing continuous production using the liquid crystal display 51, and in continuous production, by performing production using the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, control relating to AT is performed. The main effect image (background image) corresponding to the state is set to be invisible from the player side. Since the continuous effect is performed in a state where the background image is invisible, the continuous effect can be made conspicuous and the continuous effect can be focused. Further, it is possible to recognize that the continuous effect is performed because the background image is invisible.

[About the first stage production]
The presentation mode of the pre-stage production performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 15.

The sub-control unit 91 can perform a pre-stage production that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and in the game in which the pre-stage production lottery determines that the pre-stage production is performed as described above, the pre-stage production is performed. Perform the pre-stage production of the type determined in the production lottery. The prestage effect includes prestage effects A to H having different production modes, and whether or not to perform the prestage effect and the type of the prestage effect to be executed are determined by the prestage effect lottery. In the game in which it is decided to perform the pre-stage production in the pre-stage production lottery, it is suggested that by performing the pre-stage production of the type decided in the pre-stage production lottery, continuous production is performed thereafter.

The first-stage effect is composed of a first part performed at the start of the first-stage effect, a second part performed after the first part, and a third part performed after the second part (see, for example, FIG. 10). The sub-control unit 91 first causes the first part to start when the game start operation is performed by the start switch 7 in a state in which the specified number of bets is set. In the first part, the effect is advanced with the effect content according to the type of the former effect.

When the third stop operation of the reels by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is performed while the first part is being performed (when the stop switch related to the third stop operation is pressed), the first part To the second part. In the second part, a white-out image displaying a single white color is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, so that the effect image displayed in the first part is not displayed.

After starting the second part, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the second part is shifted to the third part.

In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the preliminary production lottery that has triggered the preceding production, the continuous production transition suggestion image (the book In the embodiment, the “development” logo image (see FIG. 10F, etc.) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the continuous effect transition suggestion image, an image in a common mode is displayed regardless of the type of the preceding-stage effects A to H being executed. Then, when the start operation of the next game (the operation of the start switch 7 in the state where the specified number of bets is set) is performed in the state where the continuous effect transition suggestive image is displayed, the continuous effect transition is performed. The display of the suggestion image and the first stage effect are terminated, and control is performed to start the continuous effect.

On the other hand, when it is not determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the continuous production transition suggestive image and the above-mentioned darkening result suggestive image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Without doing so, the former stage effect is ended, and control is performed so that the main effect image corresponding to the control state regarding the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side is displayed.

In the first stage production, when the first part is being performed, the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (pressing operation of the stop switch related to the third stop operation) is performed, so that the second part is performed. On the other hand, on the main control unit 41 side, stop control for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the third stop operation is started. For example, when the replay is won by the internal lottery, Stop control is performed so that the replay composition pattern being drawn is drawn in and stopped in preference to the winning line (for example, see FIG. 10E). The sub-control unit 91 controls the progress of the second part of the first stage production independently of the reel stop control by the main control unit 41, so that the reel rotation position when the third stop operation is performed is set. Accordingly, the reel corresponding to the third stop operation may be stopped while the second part of the first stage effect is being performed, or the reel may be stopped while the third part of the first stage effect is being performed. The reel may stop.

On the main control unit 41 side, when the rotation of all reels is stopped and the third stop operation is completed, that is, when the stop switch related to the third stop operation is released and the pressing operation is completed. The winning determination process is performed, and a command capable of specifying the result of the winning determination is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. On the other hand, when it is determined based on the command that the winning of one of the winning combinations has occurred, the sub control unit 91 controls the winning notification effect for a predetermined period of time to control the reel LED 55 to the winning notification mode. Control (not shown). At this time, the sub-control unit 91 independently performs the control of the first-stage effect and the control of the winning notification effect, so that the sub-control unit 91 receives a command that can specify the result of the winning determination from the main control unit 41, that is, all reels. According to the timing at which the second stop operation is finished and the third stop operation is finished, the winning notification production is performed while the second part of the front production is being performed, and the third part of the front production is also performed. Winning notification production may be performed on the way.

Next, an example of the presentation mode of the first-stage production will be described. As described above, in the first-stage production, the first front-stage production (first-stage production C, D, G, H) that suggests the possibility of continuous production and does not indicate the type of the continuous production is performed. A second pre-stage production (pre-stage production A, B, E, F) that suggests the possibility and suggests the type of the continuous production is included.

As shown in FIG. 10, the sub-control unit 91 is performing an AT state effect that suggests that the control state related to the AT is controlled to the AT state, and the main effect image (background) corresponding to the AT state is displayed. When the (image) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 10A), it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed in the pre-stage production lottery, for example, in the second pre-stage production. When performing a certain pre-stage production A, when the game start operation is performed, it is determined that the pre-stage production lottery is performed and the pre-stage production A is performed, and the first part of the pre-stage production A is started. Let In the first part of the front effect A, the front effect image A showing four areas is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image) of the AT effect, so that the background image is invisible. As a result, the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is used to perform the prestage effect A. Further, character images showing the enemy characters A to D appearing in the continuous effects A to D are arranged and displayed on the front side of the preceding effect image A as option images A to D (see FIG. 10B).

Further, in the first part of the front effect A, a predetermined time (main time) is set when the first stop operation of the reel is performed while the front effect image A is being displayed or when the display of the front effect image A is started. In the embodiment, when 3 seconds) elapses, a selection frame image indicating that one of the option images A to D is a selection candidate is displayed on the front side of the one option image (for example, option image C). To place and display. After that, the control of sequentially moving the selection frame image so as to be arranged on the front side of each option image is repeatedly performed, which suggests that any of the displayed option images A to D can be selected (FIG. 10(c). )reference).

When the second stop operation of the reel is performed in a state in which the control for displaying and moving the selection effect image while displaying the preceding effect image A and the option images A to D is repeatedly performed, the effect according to the stop operation is performed. The effect mode until then is continued without changing the mode (see FIG. 10D). After that, when the third stop operation of the reel is performed, the first part is shifted to the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 10E).

Then, after the second part is started, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the display of the whiteout image is terminated and the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the liquid crystal display of the selection result notification image suggesting the selection result of the options in the first-stage production is performed. The entire display area of the display 51 is displayed. The selection result notification image includes a selection result image (an image of the enemy character B in this embodiment) corresponding to the type of continuous effect to be performed from the next game, and the options determined as the selection result (in this embodiment, the enemy By notifying the character B), the type of continuous effect to be performed thereafter (in the present embodiment, the continuous effect B in which the enemy character B appears) is notified. In addition, the selection result notification image is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display device 51 to make the main effect image on the back side of the selection result image invisible. In addition, the selection result notification image is displayed larger than the option image displayed in the first part so that the option determined as the selection result is displayed as one of the plurality of options in the first part. Is also highlighted.

Further, in the third part, a continuous effect transition suggestion image (in this embodiment, a “development” logo image) that indicates that a continuous effect is performed is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (FIG. 10( f )). When the start operation of the next game is performed in a state where the selection result notification image and the continuous effect transition suggestive image are displayed, the preceding stage effect is ended and the continuous effect is started.

On the other hand, in the third part, when it is not determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the selection result notification image, the continuous production transition suggestion image, and the above-mentioned darkening are displayed. Without displaying the result suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51, the pre-stage effect is terminated, and the main-effect image corresponding to the control state regarding the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side is displayed. The control is performed so as to return to the effect according to the control state relating to the AT that has been performed before it is performed (not shown).

In the present embodiment, the example in which the enemy character B is selected as the selection result in the first-stage effect A and the selection result image for notifying the selection result is displayed has been described, but in the first-stage effect A, it is determined by the first-stage effect lottery. It is possible to select the enemy characters A to D as the selection result according to the type of the continuous effect and display the selection result image for notifying the selection result.

Further, in the present embodiment, the image displayed as the option image is determined to perform the first-stage effect and the continuous effect in the first-stage effect lottery, and at least when the predetermined continuous effect is performed thereafter, at least the predetermined amount. If it is a configuration including a predetermined option image that suggests the type of continuous production, it is determined that the first stage production is performed in the first stage production lottery, and if the predetermined continuous production is not performed thereafter, The configuration may include a predetermined option image that suggests a predetermined type of continuous effect, or a configuration that does not include a predetermined option image that suggests a type of the predetermined continuous effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, by displaying four types of option images A to D as option images, a plurality of types of option images that do not overlap each other are displayed, but one option image is selected as the option image. A configuration in which four option images are displayed or a configuration in which two or more option images of different types as option images are displayed may be used.

As shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control unit 91 performs the above-mentioned AT state effect and displays the main effect image (background image) corresponding to the AT state on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 11(a)), in the case where it is decided to perform the pre-stage production in the pre-stage production lottery, for example, when the pre-stage production C which is the first pre-stage production is performed, the game start operation is performed. When this is done, the first-stage effect lottery is performed to determine that the first-stage effect C is to be performed, and the first part of the first-stage effect C is started. In the first part of the front effect C, first, the front effect image C including the ally character image is arranged and displayed in front of the main effect image (background image) to display the background image in an invisible state. The entire display area of the display 51 is controlled to perform the prestage effect C (see FIG. 11B).

In the first part of the first-stage effect C, after displaying the first-stage effect image C, a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of option images 1 to 4 (in the present embodiment, the characters “development” are displayed). The option image 1 including, the option image 2 including the character of “chance”, the option image 3 including the character of “!”, and the option image 4 including the character of “?” are included in front of the front effect image C one by one. And the liquid crystal display 51 is sequentially displayed (see FIG. 11B). The option image 1 has the same mode as the above-mentioned continuous effect transition suggestion image (in the present embodiment, the same characters, shapes, patterns, and colors are included), and is continuously displayed by being displayed as the option image in the preceding effect. It suggests the possibility of directing. The option images 2 to 4 are different from the continuous effect transition suggestion image, and do not directly suggest the possibility of continuous effect, but do not deny the possibility of continuous effect. Further, the option images 1 to 4 do not include suggestive images (for example, images of enemy characters A to D appearing in the continuous effect) that suggest the type of continuous effect, and the types of continuous effect that may be performed thereafter. It is supposed not to suggest.

In the pre-stage effect image C, at least one option image may have a configuration that suggests the possibility of continuous production, and only one option image may have a configuration that suggests the possibility of continuous production. The configuration may be such that two or more option images suggest the possibility of continuous production. Further, as the option images, the option images of one aspect may be displayed in duplicate.

Then, when all of the option images 1 to 4 are not displayed when the reel is first stopped by the stop switch, all the option images 1 to 4 are displayed and the option images 1 to 4 are displayed. A selection frame image indicating that one of the option images is a candidate for selection is arranged and displayed on the front side of all the option images 1 to 4. Further, when all of the option images 1 to 4 are displayed when the reel is first stopped by the stop switch, the selection frame image is arranged on the front side of all the option images 1 to 4. And display it. After displaying the selection frame image, the control of sequentially moving the selection frame image so as to be arranged in front of each selection image is repeatedly performed, and any of the displayed selection images 1 to 4 can be selected. (See FIGS. 11C and 11D).

When the second stop operation of the reel is performed in a state where the control for displaying and moving the pre-stage effect image C and the option images 1 to 4 and the selection frame image is repeatedly performed, the effect is generated according to the stop operation. The effect mode until then is continued without changing the mode (see FIG. 11D). Then, when the third stop operation of the reel is performed, the first part is shifted to the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 11E).

Then, after the second part is started, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the preliminary production lottery that has triggered the preliminary production, the preliminary production suggestion suggests that the result of the preliminary production is notified. An image (in this embodiment, an image including a plurality of concentrated lines toward the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51) is displayed on the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 and is displayed on the back side of the preceding stage production suggestion image. The arranged main effect image is made invisible. Then, a continuous effect transition suggestion image (in this embodiment, a “development” logo image) is arranged on the front side of the former effect suggestion image as a selection result notification image for suggesting the selection result of the options in the former effect. It is displayed on 51 (FIG. 11(f)). The selection result notification image of the first stage effect C does not include the selection result image (for example, the images of the enemy characters A to D, etc.) according to the type of continuous effect, and does not suggest the type of continuous effect to be performed thereafter. Further, the selection result notification image is displayed larger than the size of the option image displayed in the first part so that the option determined as the selection result is displayed as one of the plurality of options in the first part. The display is emphasized more than when it is displayed.

Further, in the third part, when the start operation of the next game is performed in a state where the continuous effect transition suggestion image is displayed as the selection result notification image, the preceding stage effect is ended and the continuous effect is started. Control.

On the other hand, in the third part, when it is not determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the selection result notification image, the continuous production transition suggestion image, and the above-mentioned darkening are displayed. Without displaying the result suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51, the pre-stage effect is terminated, and the main-effect image corresponding to the control state regarding the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side is displayed. The control is performed so as to return to the effect according to the control state relating to the AT that has been performed before it is performed.

In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the option image 1 is selected as the selection result in the first-stage effect C and the selection result image for notifying the selection result is displayed, but in the first-stage effect C, the first part is displayed. It is possible to select any of the selected option images 1 to 4 and display the selection result image for notifying the selection result.

Further, in the present embodiment, the image displayed as the option image is determined to perform the first-stage effect and the continuous effect in the first-stage effect lottery, and at least when the predetermined continuous effect is performed thereafter, at least the predetermined amount. It suffices that the configuration includes a predetermined option image (for example, an option image including the characters “development”) that suggests that the continuous effect is performed, and it is determined that the first-stage effect is performed in the first-stage effect lottery. However, if the predetermined continuous effect is not performed thereafter, the configuration may include a predetermined option image that suggests the type of the predetermined continuous effect, or a predetermined option image that suggests the type of the predetermined continuous effect. A configuration that does not include is also acceptable.

In addition, in the present embodiment, by displaying four types of option images as option images, a plurality of types of option images that do not overlap each other are displayed, but one option image is selected as the option image. A configuration in which four option images are displayed or a configuration in which two or more option images of different types as option images are displayed may be used.

For example, in the case of performing the first-stage effect D (not shown) that is the first front-stage effect, the sub-control unit 91 starts the first part when the game start operation is performed, and then the second stop of the reel. Until the operation is performed, the same effect as in the case of performing the former effect C is advanced. Then, when the second stop operation is performed, the brightness of some of the displayed option images that are not displayed as the selection result is decreased to suggest that the option is not specified as the selection result. .. When deciding the option image for which the brightness is to be reduced, among the options that are displayed but not displayed as the selection result, the brightness is reduced in order from the option that suggests that the situation is less advantageous to the player. By deciding as an option, the option suggesting that the situation is highly advantageous remains, and the player's expectation can be maintained.

Then, in the front stage effect D, when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switch in the state where the first part is performed (when the stop switch related to the third stop operation is pressed), the first part To the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see, for example, FIG. 11E). Then, similarly to the first-stage effect C, control is performed according to the lottery result of the first-stage effect lottery.

In the front stage effect D, it is possible to select any one of the option images 1 to 4 displayed in the first part and display the selection result image informing the selection result.

Further, in the first-stage productions G and H which are the first-stage productions, at least finally, a suggestion image suggesting the type of the continuous production (for example, images of enemy characters A to D appearing in the continuous production) is not displayed. , It does not suggest the type of continuous production that may be performed thereafter. On the other hand, in the front-stage effect B that is the second front-stage effect, similar to the front-stage effect A, if at least the continuous effect is performed thereafter among the enemy characters A to D that appear in the continuous effects A to D, the type of the continuous effect By displaying the pre-stage effect image B including the image of the enemy character corresponding to, on the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, it is possible to suggest the possibility of continuous effect and the type of continuous effect to be executed. ing. In the front-stage effects E and F, which are the second front-stage effects, a suggestion image (in this embodiment, an image of the enemy character B) that finally suggests the type of the continuous effect is displayed as described later. It suggests the types of continuous production that may be performed.

Next, an example of an effect mode of the first-stage effect will be described. As described above, in the pre-stage production, the third pre-stage production (pre-stage productions A, C, E) in which the number of updates of the production corresponding to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is the predetermined number (two times in this embodiment). , G) and the number of update times of the effect according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is larger than that of the third front effect, that is, the fourth front effect (the number of update times is more than that of the front effects A, C, E, and G, 3 times. The first stage effects B, D, F, H) are included.

As shown in FIG. 12, for example, when performing the first-stage effect E that is the third first-stage effect, the sub-control unit 91 starts the first part when the game start operation is performed. In the first part of the first-stage effect E, first, until the first stop operation of the reel is performed, the main performance corresponding to the above-mentioned AT-related control state displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the first-stage effect is started. The output image (background image) is continuously displayed and waits (see FIG. 12A).

When the first stop operation is performed while the main effect image (background image) is being displayed, the pre-stage effect image E that covers a predetermined part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 (the present embodiment). Then, the image of the enemy character B) is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image). By displaying the prestage effect image E in response to the first stop operation of the reels, the first-stage effect content in the prestage effect E is updated.

The pre-stage effect image E is an image that does not cover the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51 and at least a part of the background image is visible. In addition, the pre-stage production image E appears in the continuous production that is determined to be performed in the pre-stage production lottery when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the pre-stage production lottery in which it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed. While the image of the character to be played (the image of the enemy character B in the embodiment) is included, the image of the character that can appear in the continuous production (in the embodiment, the enemy character A in the embodiment is displayed if it is not determined that the continuous production is performed. To any of images D). By displaying the first-stage effect image E, it is possible to suggest the possibility that a continuous effect of the type corresponding to the image of the character included in the first-stage effect image E (in the present embodiment, continuous effect B) is performed. (See FIG. 12(b)).

In the first part of the front effect E, after displaying the front effect image E, the process waits until the third stop operation of the reel is performed. That is, when the second stop operation of the reel is performed, the front effect E is not advanced, and the front effect image E displayed in response to the first stop operation is maintained (see FIG. 12C). .. Then, when the third stop operation of the reel is performed in the state where the former stage effect image E is displayed, the first part is switched to the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 ( See FIG. 12D).

Then, after the second part is started, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the first-stage production including the image of the character displayed in the first part is performed. The main stage performance result suggestive image (in the present embodiment, an image of the enemy character B) that suggests the result is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and is placed behind the front stage production suggestive image. Makes the output image invisible. Then, by arranging and displaying the continuous production transition suggestive image (in this embodiment, the “development” logo image) indicating that the continuous production is performed on the front side of the preceding stage production result suggestive image, the continuous production is performed. The fact to be performed and the type of continuous effect to be executed (in the present embodiment, the continuous effect B in which the enemy character B appears) are notified (FIG. 12(e)).

When the start operation of the next game is performed in the state where the first stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed, the first stage effect is ended and the continuous effect is started.

On the other hand, in the third part, when it is not determined that the continuous production is performed in the preceding production lottery that has triggered the preceding production, the preceding production result notification image, the continuous production transition suggestion image and the above-mentioned Without displaying the darkening result suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51, the pre-stage production is ended, and the main production image corresponding to the control state regarding the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 is displayed to display the pre-stage production. The control is performed so as to return to the effect according to the control state relating to the AT that has been performed before (see FIG. 12F).

In the first-stage effect E, after the whiteout image is displayed according to the third stop operation of the reel, the first-stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed by the third part, or the main effect image is displayed. By being displayed, the effect content for the second time is updated.

In addition, in the present embodiment, an example in which the prestage effect image E is included in the prestage effect E, and the image of the enemy character B is included in the prestage effect result suggesting image to indicate that the continuous effect B is performed is described. By displaying the pre-stage effect image E including the images of the enemy characters A to D and the pre-stage effect result suggestion image corresponding to the type of the continuous effect determined by the pre-stage effect lottery, the corresponding continuous effects A to D are performed. It is possible to suggest a possibility.

As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, for example, in the case of performing the front stage production F which is the fourth front stage production, the sub control unit 91 starts the first part when the game start operation is performed. In the first part of the first-stage effect F, first, until the first stop operation of the reel is performed, the main performance corresponding to the above-mentioned control state regarding the AT displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the first-stage effect is started. The output image (background image) is continuously displayed and waits (see FIG. 13A and FIG. 14A).

When the first stop operation is performed while the main effect image (background image) is being displayed, the front effect image F1 that covers a predetermined partial display area of the liquid crystal display 51 (the present embodiment). Then, the image of the enemy character B) is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image) (see FIGS. 13B and 14B). By displaying the first-stage effect image F1 in response to the first stop operation of the reel, the first-time effect content in the first-stage effect F is updated.

The front stage effect image F is an image in which at least a part of the background image is visible without covering the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the pre-stage production image F appears in the continuous production that is determined to be performed in the pre-stage production lottery when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the pre-stage production lottery in which it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed. While the image of the character to be played (in the embodiment, the image of the enemy character B covering about ⅓ of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51) is included, if it is not determined that the continuous production is performed, the continuous production is performed. An image of a character that can appear (in the embodiment, an image of any of the enemy characters A to D) is included. By displaying the first-stage effect image F1, it is possible to suggest the possibility of performing a continuous effect of the type corresponding to the image of the character included in the first-stage effect image F1 (in the present embodiment, continuous effect B). (See FIG. 13A and FIG. 14A).

In the first part of the front effect F, when the second stop operation of the reel is performed after the front effect image F1 is displayed, the front effect image F2 (main In the embodiment, the image of the enemy character B that covers about 2/3 of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image) (FIGS. 13C and 14). (See (c)). By displaying the first-stage effect image F2 in response to the second stop operation of the reel, the second-stage effect content in the first-stage effect F is updated.

When it is determined that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are performed in the pre-stage production lottery that has triggered the pre-stage production, and it is determined that the continuous production is performed after the continuous production, the pre-stage production image F2. Is displayed, when the third stop operation of the reel is performed, the first part is switched to the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 13D). ).

Then, after the second part is started, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the first-stage production lottery that triggered the first-stage production, the first-stage production including the image of the character displayed in the first part is performed. The main stage performance result suggestive image (in the present embodiment, an image of the enemy character B) that suggests the result is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and is placed behind the front stage production suggestive image. Makes the output image invisible. Then, by arranging and displaying the continuous production transition suggestive image (in this embodiment, the “development” logo image) indicating that the continuous production is performed on the front side of the preceding stage production result suggestive image, the continuous production is performed. The fact to be performed and the type of continuous effect to be executed (in the present embodiment, the continuous effect B in which the enemy character B appears) are notified (FIG. 13E).

In the first-stage effect F, after the whiteout image is displayed according to the third stop operation of the reel, the first-stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed by the third part, or the main effect image is displayed. By being displayed, the effect content is updated for the third time.

When the start operation of the next game is performed in the state where the first stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed, the first stage effect is ended and the continuous effect is started.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed in the pre-stage production lottery that has triggered the pre-stage production, and it is not determined that the continuous production is performed after the continuous production, the pre-stage production image F2 is displayed. When the third stop operation of the reel is performed in the displayed state, the display of the preceding stage effect image F2 and the control of the preceding stage effect are ended, so that the whiteout image and the preceding stage effect result notification image are displayed. , The leading performance corresponding to the control state relating to the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side by terminating the preceding production without displaying the continuous production transition suggesting image or the above-mentioned darkening result suggesting image on the liquid crystal display 51. The output image is displayed, and control is performed so as to return to the effect according to the control state regarding the AT that has been performed before the former effect is performed (see FIG. 14D).

In addition, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the front-stage effect image F1, the front-stage effect image F2, and the front-stage effect result suggesting image include the image of the enemy character B and suggest that the continuous effect B is performed in the first-stage effect F. In the first-stage effect E, by displaying the first-stage effect image F1, the first-stage effect image F2, and the first-stage effect result suggesting image including the images of the enemy characters A to D according to the type of continuous effect determined by the first-stage effect lottery, It is possible to suggest the possibility that the corresponding continuous effects A to D will be performed.

Further, in the front-stage effects A and C, which are the third front-stage effects, like the front-stage effect E, the effect contents are updated in accordance with the first stop operation and the third stop operation of the reel, so that the reel stop operation is performed. It will be updated twice accordingly. Further, although not particularly shown, also in the pre-stage effect G which is the third pre-stage effect, the effect contents are updated in accordance with the first stop operation and the third stop operation of the reel as in the case of the pre-stage effect E. It is updated twice according to the stop operation. On the other hand, in the front-stage effects B, D, and H that are the fourth front-stage effects, the effect contents are updated in accordance with the reel first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation, as in the front-stage effect F. Thus, it is updated three times in response to the reel stop operation.

As shown in FIG. 15, for example, in the case of performing the front stage production H which is the fourth front stage production, the sub control unit 91 starts the first part when the game start operation is performed. In the first part of the front stage production H, first, until the first stop operation of the reel is performed, the main performance corresponding to the control state relating to the above-mentioned AT displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the front stage production is started. The output image (background image) is continuously displayed and waits (see FIG. 15A). The pre-stage production H is the fourth pre-stage production, and is also the second pre-stage production that does not suggest the type of continuous production.

When the first stop operation is performed while the main effect image (background image) is being displayed, the front effect image H1 that covers a predetermined part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 (the present embodiment). Then, the image of the teammate character is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image) (FIG. 15B). By displaying the first stage effect image H1 in response to the first stop operation of the reels, the first-time effect content in the first stage effect H is updated.

The front stage effect image H1 is an image in which at least a part of the background image is visible without covering the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the first-stage effect image H1 is one of continuous effects A to D regardless of whether or not it is determined that the first-stage effect lottery is determined to perform the first-stage effect. An image corresponding to only the effect (in the embodiment, an image of one enemy character appearing in the continuous effects A to D) is not included, while an image common to the continuous effects A to D (the continuous effect A in the present embodiment). To D, images of teammate characters that appear in common. By displaying the first-stage effect image H1, it is possible to suggest the possibility that the continuous effect will be performed thereafter, without suggesting the type of the continuous effect that may be performed thereafter.

In the first part of the front effect H, when the second stop operation of the reel is performed after the front effect image H1 is displayed, the front effect image H2 (main In the embodiment, an image of a teammate character that covers approximately 2/3 of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image) (see FIG. 15C). The second-stage effect image in the first-stage effect H is updated by displaying the first-stage effect image H2 in response to the second stop operation of the reel.

When it is determined that the pre-stage production and the continuous production are performed in the pre-stage production lottery that has triggered the pre-stage production, and it is determined that the continuous production is performed after the continuous production, the pre-stage production image H2. Is displayed, when the third stop operation of the reel is performed, the first part is switched to the second part, and the whiteout image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 15D). ).

Then, after the second part is started, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed, the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, if it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the preceding production lottery that triggered the preceding production, it is determined in the preceding production lottery that triggered the continuous production. By displaying a pre-stage production result suggesting image (an image of a ally character in this embodiment) that does not include an image corresponding to the type of continuous production and suggests only the result of the pre-stage production, in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. , The main effect image arranged on the back side of the preceding stage effect suggestion image is made invisible. Then, by arranging and displaying the continuous effect transition suggestion image (in this embodiment, the “development” logo image) indicating that the continuous effect is performed, the continuous effect A is displayed. It notifies that any one of to D will be performed (FIG.15(e)).

In the first-stage effect H, after the whiteout image is displayed in response to the third reel stop operation, the first-stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed by the third part, or the main effect image is displayed. By being displayed, the effect content is updated for the third time.

When the start operation of the next game is performed in the state where the first stage effect result suggestion image and the continuous effect transition suggestion image are displayed, the first stage effect is ended and the continuous effect is started.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the pre-stage production is performed in the pre-stage production lottery that has triggered the pre-stage production, and that the continuous production is not performed after the continuous production, the pre-stage production image H2 is displayed. When the third stop operation of the reel is performed in the displayed state, the display of the preceding stage effect image H2 is ended and the control of the preceding stage effect is ended, so that the whiteout image and the preceding stage effect result notification image are displayed. , The leading performance corresponding to the control state relating to the AT controlled by the main control unit 41 side by terminating the preceding production without displaying the continuous production transition suggesting image or the above-mentioned darkening result suggesting image on the liquid crystal display 51. The output image is displayed, and control is performed so as to return to the effect according to the control state regarding the AT that has been performed before the preceding effect is performed (see FIG. 15(f)).

In the present embodiment, the prestage effect H does not include the images of the enemy characters A to D corresponding to the continuous effects A to D in the prestage effect image H1, the prestage effect image H2, and the prestage effect result suggestion image, and can be performed thereafter. Although the example not suggesting the type of continuous production having a characteristic has been described, in the prestage production H, the prestage production image H1, the prestage production image H2, and the prestage production result suggestion image including the image of the ally character common to the continuous production are displayed. By doing so, it is possible to suggest the possibility that either type of continuous production will be performed thereafter.

In the front stage production H, which is the fourth front stage production, the production contents are updated in response to the reel first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation, so that the reel stop operation is performed three times. It will be updated. On the other hand, although not particularly shown, in the front-stage effect G that is the third front-stage effect, when the reel is first stopped after the game for performing the front-stage effect is started, the first-stage effect image H1 is generated. A front effect image G1 (for example, an image in the same form as the front effect image H1) covering a predetermined display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is arranged and displayed on the front side of the main effect image (background image). After that, when the second stop of the reel is performed, the display of the first stage effect image G1 is continued, and when the third stop of the reel is performed, a whiteout image or a continuous effect transition suggestion is made according to the result of the first stage effect lottery. An image or a main effect image is displayed, and in the pre-stage effect G, the effect contents are updated according to the first stop operation and the third stop operation of the reel, so that the second operation is performed in accordance with the reel stop operation. It is supposed to be updated once.

Further, in the present embodiment, the front stage effect images H1 and H2 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in response to the reel stop operation being performed, and the front stage effect images H1 and H2 have continuous effects. By not including the images of the enemy characters A to D appearing in 1. but including the images of the teammate characters, it is not possible to suggest the type of continuous effect that can be performed thereafter by the preceding effect images H1 and H2. In each of the preceding stage effect images displayed in response to the reel stop operation being performed, it is sufficient if an image corresponding to at least one type of continuous effect is not displayed. In each pre-stage effect image displayed corresponding to the reel stop operation being performed, an image corresponding to at least one type of continuous effect is not displayed, for example, the reel stop operation is performed. In each of the preceding stage effect images displayed corresponding to that, an image not corresponding to the continuous effect may be displayed, for example, it is displayed corresponding to the first stop operation of the reel being performed. An image corresponding to one type of continuous production is included in the preceding stage production image, and an image corresponding to another type of continuous production is displayed in response to the second reel stop operation being performed. By including "," the kind of continuous effect suggested by the preceding effect image may not be limited to one.

Further, in the present embodiment, the front-stage effect images H1 and H2 displayed in response to the reel stop operation being performed in the front-stage effect H are consecutive in the front-stage effect lottery in which it is determined that the front-stage effect is to be performed. Regardless of whether or not it is decided to perform the effect, an image corresponding to only one type of continuous effect of the continuous effects A to D is not included, but an image common to the continuous effects A to D is included. By so doing, it is a structure that does not suggest the type of continuous production that can be performed while suggesting the possibility of subsequent continuous production, but is displayed in response to the reel stop operation being performed in the previous stage production. The pre-stage effect image only needs to have a configuration that does not include an image corresponding to only one type of continuous staging, and the pre-stage staging image does not include an image corresponding to only one type of continuous staging It may be configured to include images that are not related to the above, and even with such a configuration, it is possible to indicate the possibility that subsequent production will be performed by performing the first stage production, but not the type of continuous production that can be performed. It will be composed.

Next, an example of an effect mode of the first-stage effect will be described. Fifth pre-stage production (pre-stage production A, B, C, D) performed in a state in which the main production image (background image) corresponding to the control state regarding AT is invisible, and sixth front stage performed in a state in which the background image is visible Effects (first stage effects E, F, G, H) are included.

As shown in FIG. 10, for example, when performing the pre-stage production A that is the fifth pre-stage production, the sub-control unit 91 displays the pre-stage production image A in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. , The main effect image (background image) on the back side of the preceding effect image A is rendered invisible, and the possibility of continuous rendering is suggested.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when performing the first-stage effect C that is the fifth first-stage effect, the former-stage effect image C is displayed by displaying the former-stage effect image C in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. The main effect image (background image) on the back side is produced in a state where it cannot be visually recognized, suggesting the possibility of continuous production.

Although not particularly shown, in the front-stage effects B and D, which are the fifth front-stage effects, as in the case of the front-stage effects A and C, a predetermined front-stage effect image is displayed on the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. , The main effect image (background image) on the back side of the preceding effect image is rendered invisible, and the possibility of continuous rendering is suggested.

As shown in FIG. 12, for example, when the sub-stage effect E that is the sixth pre-stage effect is performed, the sub-control unit 91 displays the pre-stage effect image E at a predetermined position in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. Then, the main effect image (background image) is produced in a predetermined display area that is not covered by the preceding effect image E in a visible state, and the possibility of continuous production is suggested.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the sub-control unit 91 displays the front-stage effect images F1 and F2 in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 when performing the front-stage effect F that is the sixth front-stage effect, for example. By displaying the main effect image (background image) in a predetermined display area that is not covered by the preceding effect images F1 and F2 by performing the display at a predetermined position, the possibility of continuous effect is achieved. It has been suggested.

Also, although not particularly shown, even in the front-stage effect G that is the sixth front-stage effect, the front-stage effect image that covers a predetermined part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed as in the case of the front-stage effects E and F. The main effect image (background image) is displayed in a predetermined display area that is not covered by the preceding effect image, and the possibility of continuous effect is suggested.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, when performing the first-stage effect H that is the sixth first-stage effect, the sub-control unit 91 displays the first-stage effect images H1 and H2 at a predetermined position in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. By displaying the main effect image (background image) in a predetermined display area that is not covered by the preceding effect images H1 and H2, it is possible to suggest a possibility that continuous effect is performed. It has become.

In this way, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment causes the liquid crystal display to display the darkening result suggestive image when the privilege (to be controlled to be in the additional state) is not given in the above-mentioned continuous effects A to D. While the display of 51 is controlled so as to be darkened, in the front-stage effects A to H, when the continuous effect is not performed, the non-transition suggestion image is not displayed and the display of the liquid crystal display 51 is controlled so as not to be darkened. Is becoming In the continuous production, the display of the liquid crystal display device 51 goes dark when it is not suggested that the privilege is given, so that it can be suggested that the privilege is not given. Further, in the pre-stage production, the display of the liquid crystal display 51 does not go dark when the continuous production is not performed, so that the continuous production is not performed, that is, the decline in the interest due to the award not being provided is prevented. Can be suitably performed.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is capable of performing the pre-stage productions A to H, and the pre-stage production suggests the possibility of continuous production, and does not suggest the type of the continuous production. (Pre-stage production C, D, G, H) and a second pre-stage production (pre-stage production A, B, E, F) that suggests the possibility of continuous production and suggests the type of the continuous production. Including. The pre-stage production includes a first pre-stage production that does not indicate the type of continuous production and a second pre-stage production that suggests the type of continuous production, and depending on whether or not the type of continuous production is suggested by the pre-stage production, In the present embodiment, since the degree of expectation of the fact that the state of being added is controlled) is different, it is possible to change the advantage degree regarding the suggested benefit, and it is possible to suitably perform the prestage effect. ..

Although not particularly shown, when the navigation effect is performed in the second mode and the pre-stage effect C is also performed, the navigation images 2a, 2b, and 2c are arranged and displayed on the front side of the option images 1 to 4, and By controlling the display sizes of the navigation images 2a, 2b, and 2c to be smaller than the display sizes of the selection images 1 to 4, each navigation image is displayed so as not to cover all of the selection images. Further, when performing the navigation effect in the first aspect or the second aspect, when performing a pre-stage effect other than the pre-stage effect C, the display size of each navigation image is an image displayed in the pre-stage effect (for example, By controlling the display size to be smaller than the display size of the option images A to D of the front effect A and the front effect image E of the front effect E, etc., each navigation image is displayed so as not to cover all the images of each effect. It is designed to let you.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20, in the former effect C, after displaying the option images 1 to 4, the control for sequentially moving the selection frame images to be arranged in front of the option images is repeatedly performed and displayed. The control suggesting that any one of the selected option images 1 to 4 can be selected is repeatedly performed until the third stop operation is performed (see FIGS. 20A to 20C). On the other hand, in the control of the navigation effect, after displaying the navigation images 1a, 1b, and 1c, each time the effective stop switch operation is performed for each reel, the corresponding navigation image disappears and another navigation image is set to a predetermined value. The control is performed so as to change the mode (the first mode 1a or the first mode 1b) (see FIGS. 18A to 18C). When the prestage effect C and the navigation effect are performed in the same game, the prestage effect image C of the prestage effect C, the option images 1 to 4, and the navigation images 1a, 1b, and 1c may be superimposed, but the navigation images 1a and 1b. 1c is arranged to be displayed in the foreground, and the navigation image 1a has a transparency of 0%, while the navigation images 1b and 1c have a transparency of more than 0%. Since they are displayed, the option images 1 to 4 displayed on the back side of the navigation images 1b and 1c are visible. The display sizes of the navigation images 1a, 1b, and 1c are smaller than the display sizes of the selection images 1 to 4, and the selection images 1 to 4 displayed on the back side of the navigation images 1b and 1c are displayed. The option images 1 to 4 displayed on the back side of the images 1b and 1c are visible.

Then, when the third stop operation is performed, in the front-stage effect C, control is performed so that the white part image is displayed by shifting from the first part to the second part, and in the navigation effect, the third stop operation is performed. Control is performed so that the corresponding last navigation image disappears and the navigation effect ends. As a result, when the third stop operation is performed, neither the selection images 1 to 4 nor the navigation images 1a, 1b, 1c are displayed (see FIG. 20(d)).

Then, in the first-stage effect C, when a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed after starting the second part, the second part is switched to the third part. In the third part, when it is determined that the continuous production is performed in the preliminary production lottery that has triggered the preliminary production, the preliminary production suggestion suggests that the result of the preliminary production is notified.

When it is determined that the double navigation effect is to be executed in the above-mentioned effect lottery, control is performed so that the double navigation effect is performed. In addition, by determining that a predetermined type of double navigation effect will be executed in the effect lottery, color navigation option images (yellow navigation option image, blue navigation option image, purple navigation option image, red navigation option image, green navigation option image) Execute the double navigation effect that displays the option image).

The first area is an area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The second area is an area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. For example, as shown in FIG. 23A, in the double navigation effect A, the sub control unit 91 displays a yellow navigation option image corresponding to the winning of a predetermined small winning combination in the first area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. A blue navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay combination is displayed, and a purple navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C is displayed in the second area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. indicate. In addition, when the predetermined small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the yellow navigation option image is displayed in the first area, and when the re-game role is winning, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area. When the specific combination C is won, either the yellow navigation option image or the blue option image is selected and displayed by lottery in the first area.

After that, the sub-control unit 91 displays any one of the yellow navigation option image, the blue navigation option image, and the purple navigation option image as the selection result so that they can be specified. When the yellow navigation option image is displayed, the winning of the predetermined small winning combination is suggested (not shown), and when the blue navigation option image is displayed, the winning of the re-gaming combination is suggested (see FIG. 25(e)), When the purple navigation option image is displayed, the winning of any one of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C is suggested (see FIG. 25(f)). A specific execution example of the double navigation effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 25 to 31.

As shown in FIG. 23B, in the double navigation effect B, the sub control unit 91 displays a purple navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C in the first area. At the same time, the yellow navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the predetermined small winning combination or the blue navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the re-playing combination is displayed in the second area. In addition, when the predetermined small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the yellow navigation option image is displayed in the second area, and when the re-game role is winning, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area. When any one of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C is won, the selection image of either the yellow navigation selection image or the blue selection image is determined and displayed by lottery in the second area. .. After that, one of the purple navigation option image, the yellow navigation option image, and the blue navigation option image is displayed in a identifiable manner as the selection result.

As shown in FIG. 23(c), in the double navigation effect C, the sub control unit 91 causes the yellow navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the predetermined small winning combination in the first area or the blue navigation corresponding to the winning of the re-game winning combination. The option image is displayed, and the green navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination B is displayed in the second area. It should be noted that when a predetermined small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, a yellow navigation option image is displayed in the first area, and when a re-game role is winning, a blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area. After that, one of the yellow navigation option image, the blue navigation option image, and the green navigation option image is displayed in a identifiable manner as the selection result.

As shown in FIG. 3D, in the double navigation effect D, the sub-control unit 91 displays the green navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination B in the first area and the specific combination A in the second area. , And a purple navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination B and the specific combination C is displayed. After that, either the green navigation option image or the purple navigation option image is displayed as a selection result so that it can be specified.

The sub-control unit 91 determines which of the double navigation effects A to D is to be executed when it is determined in the aforementioned effect lottery that the double navigation effect is to be executed. FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining the execution ratios of the selection suggestion effect and the double navigation effect. The selection suggestion effect will be described later.

When the predetermined small winning combination is won by the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect A with a probability of 80%, executes the double navigation effect B with a probability of 15%, and double with the probability of 5%. The navigation effect C is executed. The double navigation effect D is not executed when the re-game combination is won.

When the re-game combination is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect A with a probability of 80%, the double navigation effect B with a probability of 15%, and the double with a probability of 5%. The navigation effect C is executed. The double navigation effect D is not executed when the re-game combination is won.

When the specific combination C is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect A with a 50% probability and the double navigation effect B with a 50% probability. In addition, when the specific combination C is won, the double navigation effect C and the double navigation effect D are not executed.

When the specific combination A is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect B with a 20% probability, executes the double navigation effect C with a 20% probability, and doubles with a 60% probability. The navigation effect D is executed. In addition, when the specific combination B is won, the double navigation effect A is not executed.

When the specific combination B is won by the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the double navigation effect B with 20% probability, executes the double navigation effect C with 20% probability, and doubles with 60% probability. The navigation effect D is executed. In addition, when the specific combination B is won, the double navigation effect A is not executed.

When the specific winning combination A is won in the internal lottery, the winning of the specific winning combination A may not occur depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the eyes). When the specific winning combination B is won in the internal lottery, the winning combination of the specific winning combination B may not occur depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the eyes). On the other hand, when the predetermined small winning combination, the re-playing winning combination, and the specific winning combination C are won, the winning occurs regardless of the pressing order (operation procedure) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R and the operation timing. That is, when the specific combination A is won and when the specific combination B is won, it is necessary to push the key to win the prize. It is not necessary and you can win the prize regardless of the operation procedure or the operation timing (no omission).

Therefore, when the specific winning combination A or the specific winning combination B is won, it is necessary to call attention to the player that the player needs to be pushed. From this, when the specific combination A or the specific combination B is won, it is suggested that the purple navigation option image (any one of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C is selected). Including a red navigation option image (indicating that the specific player A has won) and a green navigation option image (indicating that the specific player B has won) It is set so that the execution ratio of the double navigation effect is higher. The red navigation option image or the green navigation option image suggests that a press is required.

Specifically, when the specific combination B is won, if the navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay combination or the specific combination B is performed, the double navigation effect C is created by the blue navigation option image and the green navigation option image. The probability (20%) of executing is higher than the probability (0%) of executing the double navigation effect A with the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. In this way, comparing the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect C, when the specific combination B is won, the green-navi option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple-navi option image.

Further, when the specific combination A is won, if the navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the replay combination or the specific combination A is performed, the probability of executing the double navigation effect C by the blue navigation option image and the red navigation option image (20%) is higher than the probability (0%) of executing the double navigation effect A with the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. In this way, by comparing the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect C, when the specific combination A is won, the red-navi option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple-navi option image.

In addition, when the specific combination B is won and the navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination C or the specific combination B is displayed, the double navigation effect D is executed by the green navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. The probability (60%) is higher than the probability (20%) of executing the double navigation effect B with the blue navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. In this way, comparing the double-navi effect B and the double-navi effect D, when the specific combination B is won, the green-navi option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple-navi option image.

Further, when the specific combination A is won and the navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination C or the specific combination A is displayed, the double navigation effect D is executed by the red navigation option image and the purple navigation option image. The probability (60%) is higher than the probability (20%) of executing the double navigation effect B with the blue navigation option image and the red navigation option image. In this way, by comparing the double-navi effect B and the double-navi effect D, when the specific combination A is won, the red-navi option image is performed at a higher rate than the purple-navi option image.

Further, when the specific combination C is won, the double navigation effect C and the double navigation effect D in which the green navigation option image is performed are not executed. By doing so, when the green navigation option image is displayed, the player becomes aware of the fact that he/she presses, so that the player can appropriately press.

Further, when the specific combination C is won, the double navigation effect C and the double navigation effect D in which the red navigation option image is performed are not executed. By doing so, when the red navigation option image is displayed, the player becomes aware that he/she presses, so that the player can appropriately press.

On the other hand, for example, when the double navigation effect A (blue navigation option image and purple navigation option image) that does not include the green navigation option image is executed, the player has the impression that he or she does not need to press the button. I often have one. In particular, since the winning probability of the re-playing combination that does not drop is higher than that of the specific combination A and the specific combination B, when the double navigation effect including the blue navigation option image is executed, the player needs to press the button. It is easy to have the impression that it does not exist.

Therefore, when executing the double navigation effect A in which the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area, the highest probability when the re-gaming combination is won. It is executed at (80%), is executed at 50% when the specific combination C is won, and is made difficult to be executed when the specific combination B is won (0%). This increases the possibility that the player does not have to press the eyes when executing the double navigation effect A.

When the re-game combination is won, the double navigation effect A is executed with the highest probability (80%), so that the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image. In addition, when the double navigation effect A is executed and the purple navigation option image is selected, it is possible that any one of the specific combination A, the specific combination B, and the specific combination C has been won. However, the execution probability (0%) of the double navigation effect A when the specific combination B is won is set to be lower than the execution probability (50%) of the double navigation effect A when the specific combination C is won. Therefore, when the purple navigation option image is selected, there is a high possibility that the specific combination C has won.

As described above, when the double navigation effect A in which the blue navigation option image is performed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area is performed, the blue navigation is performed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image. The navigation option image is selected. When the purple navigation option image is selected, it is highly possible that the specific combination C has won. By doing so, even if the player does not push the key, there is a high possibility that the player will win the re-playing combination or the specific combination C without any omission, so that the advantage of the player is impaired as much as possible. Can be prevented.

Further, comparing the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect B, when a blue navi option image is displayed in the first area, an item image in a blue mode (in this embodiment, an image of juice in a glass) is displayed. On the other hand, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 23A), the item image in a blue mode different from that displayed in the first area (in the present embodiment, the dish image is displayed). The image of the cake placed on (1) is displayed (FIG. 23B), so that the blue navigation option images are displayed in different modes. By doing so, the display modes are diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

In addition, the display mode is the same in the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the first area (FIG. 23(b)) and the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area (FIG. 23(a)). Item image is displayed as a purple navigation option image. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the specific combination A, the specific combination B, or the specific combination C having a high degree of advantage.

Here, until a specific period until the AT lottery is performed and wins the AT lottery and shifts to the AT state, or until the additional state lottery is performed and wins the additional ride state lottery and shifts to the additional state When the re-playing combination is won in the specific period, the double navigation effect C is more easily selected than the double navigation effect A. Specifically, during the specific period, as shown in FIG. 29, the execution probability of the double navigation effect A is 80% and the execution probability of the double navigation effect C is 5% when the re-play combination is won. On the other hand, in the interior, the execution probability of the double navigation effect C is higher than the execution probability of the double navigation effect A. That is, when the double game effect C is executed when the re-gaming combination is won, there is a possibility that the player is in a specific period having a high advantage (winning the AT lottery or the addition state lottery). high.

Next, a selection suggestion effect that can be performed during execution of the double navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described based on FIGS. 29 and 25.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can simultaneously execute the selection suggestion effect when executing the double navigation effect. In the selection suggestion effect, the sub-control unit 91 selects a navigation option corresponding to a winning result having a high degree of advantage before any one of the navigation option image in the first area and the navigation option image in the second area is selected. Suggests that the image is selected.

As shown in FIG. 29, when the double navigation effect is executed when the re-game combination is won, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 10%. When the double navigation effect is executed when the specific combination C is won, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 60%. When the double navigation effect is executed when the specific combination B is won, the selection suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 90%.

In this way, the selection suggestion effect is executed at a higher rate when the specific combination C or the specific combination B, which has a higher degree of advantage than the re-play combination, is executed. It is suggested that the navigation option image corresponding to the winning result with high frequency is selected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 25, before any one of the blue navigation option image in the first area and the purple navigation option image in the second area is selected in the double navigation effect A (FIG. 25(f)). In addition, the selection suggestion effect (FIG. 25(c)) that suggests that the purple navigation option image corresponding to the winning of the specific combination C having a high advantage is selected is executed. In the present embodiment, as the selection suggestion effect, the purple navigation option image is changed to a greater extent than before the selection suggestion effect is executed, and the purple navigation item is controlled so that it is visible as if it is emitting light. It is suggested that the purple navigation option image is selected by displaying the option image more emphasized than the blue navigation option image.

Next, the presentation modes of various double navigation effects will be described based on FIGS. 25 to 31.

FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of the double navigation effect A. It is assumed that the replay combination or the specific combination C is won by the operation of the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the double navigation effect A is determined by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 25A, by executing the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. Further, by operating the start switch 7, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R start rotating.

As shown in FIG. 25B, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two symbols of the re-play combination are stopped on the pay line L2. As a result, the symbol combination of the replay combination and the symbol combination of the specific combination C can be stopped on the pay line.

Further, when a symbol is drawn to the middle reel by the second stop operation, a selection suggestion effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 25(c). As described above, the probability that the selection suggestion effect is executed is 10% when the re-game combination is won and 60% when the specific combination C is won. Therefore, it is suggested that the purple navigation option image is more likely to be selected than the blue navigation option image by executing the selection suggestion effect. That is, it is suggested that the specific winning combination C, which has a higher advantage than when the re-playing winning combination is won, is highly likely to be winning.

Next, as shown in FIG. 25D, when the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display the whiteout image, and then, , The double navigation effect is further shifted from the second part to the third part after a lapse of a predetermined time, so that the state transitions to the state of FIG. 25(e) or FIG. 25(f) in accordance with the winning result of the internal winning. ..

In addition, by performing the third stop operation by the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (pressing operation of the stop switch related to the third stop operation) while the first part of the double navigation effect is being performed, the sub control is performed. While the second part of the double navigation effect is started on the section 91 side, the stop control for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the third stop operation is started on the main control section 41 side. When the re-gaming combination is won in the lottery, the stop control is performed so that the winning re-combination winning combination is drawn and stopped in preference to the winning line (see FIG. 25(d)). ). The sub-control unit 91 controls the progress of the second part of the double navigation effect independently of the reel stop control by the main control unit 41, so that the rotation position of the reel when the third stop operation is performed. Accordingly, the reel corresponding to the third stop operation may stop during the second part of the double navigation effect, or the third stop operation may occur during the third part of the double navigation effect. The reel corresponding to may stop.

On the main control unit 41 side, when the rotation of all reels is stopped and the third stop operation is completed, that is, when the stop switch related to the third stop operation is released and the pressing operation is completed. The winning determination process is performed, and a command capable of specifying the result of the winning determination is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. On the other hand, when it is determined based on the command that the winning of one of the winning combinations has occurred, the sub control unit 91 controls the winning notification effect for a predetermined period of time to control the reel LED 55 to the winning notification mode. Control (see FIGS. 25(e) and 25(f)). At this time, the sub-control unit 91 independently controls the double navigation effect and the winning notification effect, so that the sub-control unit 91 receives from the main control unit 41 a command capable of specifying the result of the winning determination, that is, all the commands. Depending on the timing when the reel is stopped and the third stop operation is completed, the prize notification may be performed while the second part of the double navigation effect is being performed. In some cases, a prize notification may be performed while the game is being held.

When the re-gaming combination is won by the internal lottery when the lever is ON, the blue navigation option image is selected and the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first part as shown in FIG. 25(e). It is displayed in a display mode larger than when. In addition, the symbol of the re-gaming combination is stopped on the winning line L2 of the right reel by the third stop operation, and the winning of the re-gaming combination occurs. It should be noted that there is no need to push the key for winning the re-game role. Further, as described above, in the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

When the specific combination C is won by the internal lottery when the lever is ON, the purple navigation option image is selected and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first part, as shown in FIG. 25(f). It is displayed in a display mode larger than when. In addition, the image of the predetermined small winning combination is stopped on the winning line of the right reel by the third stop operation, and the winning of the specific winning combination C occurs. It should be noted that there is no need to push the key for winning the specific combination C.

As described above, in the double navigation effect, when the symbol combination is stopped by the third stop operation (FIGS. 25E and 25F), the navigation option image (blue navigation option image) and the first option in the first area are displayed. One of the navigation option images in the two areas (purple navigation option image) is selected, and the winning result is suggested.

Further, in the selection suggestion effect, when the blue navigation option image is performed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area, the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image. To be done. Further, when the purple navigation option image is selected, the ratio of winning the specific combination C is higher than the ratio of winning the specific combination B.

Next, a comparative example of the double-navi effect B and the double-navi effect D will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. 26 and 27 are diagrams for explaining a comparative example of the double-navi effect B and the double-navi effect D. 26(a) to 26(d) are for explaining the production mode of the double navigation effect B when the specific combination C is won, and FIGS. 27(a) to (e) are the double navigation when the specific combination B is won. The effect mode of effect D will be described.

First, the presentation mode of the double navigation effect B when the specific combination C is won will be described. It is assumed that the specific combination C is won by the operation of the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the double navigation effect B is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 26A, by executing the double navigation effect B, a purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display device 51 and a blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area. ..

As shown in FIG. 26B, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two symbols of the re-play combination are arranged on the pay line. This indicates that either the replay combination or the specific combination C can be won. In this example, when the symbols are stopped on the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect is not executed.

When the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, as shown in FIG. 26(c), the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display the whiteout image, and then a predetermined time elapses. By doing so, the double navigation effect is further shifted from the second part to the third part, whereby the purple navigation option image is selected in the third part. In addition, the symbol of the predetermined small winning combination is stopped on the pay line L2 of the right reel, whereby the winning of the specific winning combination C occurs. It should be noted that there is no need to push the key for winning the specific combination C.

Next, an effect mode of the double navigation effect D when the specific combination B is won will be described. It is assumed that the specific combination B is won by the operation of the start switch 7 (lever ON), and the execution of the double navigation effect D is decided by lottery.

As shown in FIG. 27A, by executing the double navigation effect D, the green navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. The display of the green navigation option image suggests that the specific combination B may have won. In addition, the display of the green navigation option image suggests that it is necessary to push the eye.

As shown in FIG. 26B, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two symbols of the re-play combination are stopped on the pay line L2, and the symbol of the specific combination B is won. Two stops on line L4. This indicates that either the replay combination or the specific combination B can be won.

Further, when the symbol is stopped on the middle reel by the second stop operation, the selection suggestion effect may be executed as shown in FIG. 26(c). As described above, the probability that the selection suggestion effect is executed is 60% when the specific combination C is won and 90% when the specific combination C is won. Therefore, when the specific winning combination B as described in FIGS. 27(a) to (e) is won, rather than when the specific winning combination C as described in FIGS. 26(a) to (d) is won. However, the selection suggestion effect is easily executed.

In order to win the specific winning combination B in the third stop operation, it is necessary to press the eye. Since the green navigation option image is displayed, the player presses the specific reel B, which is the winning symbol on the right reel, to stop at the winning line L4. When the third stop operation of the right reel is performed, as shown in FIG. 27(d), the double navigation effect is shifted from the first part to the second part to display the whiteout image, and then a predetermined time has elapsed. By shifting the double navigation effect from the second part to the third part by doing so, the green navigation option image is selected in the third part of the double navigation effect, as shown in FIG. 27(e). Further, when the pressing is successful, the symbol of the specific winning combination B is stopped on the winning line L4 of the right reel, and the winning of the specific winning combination B occurs.

In this way, in the double navigation effect, when the symbol combination is stopped by the third stop operation (FIG. 26D, FIG. 27E), the navigation option image in the first area and the navigation option in the second area Either the image or the image is selected.

Further, comparing the double navigation effect B and the double navigation effect D, when the specific combination B is won, the green navigation option image is displayed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image.

Next, a display mode of the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect B will be described based on FIG. FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the difference in display mode between the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect B. FIG. 28(a) is for explaining the production mode of the double navigation effect A, and FIG. 28(b) is for explaining the production mode of the double navigation effect B.

When the double navigation effect A is executed, as shown in FIG. 28A, a blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and a purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. It On the other hand, when the double navigation effect B is executed, as shown in FIG. 28B, a purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51, and a blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area. Is displayed.

Comparing the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect B, a predetermined item image is displayed as a blue navi option image in the first area (FIG. 28(a)), whereas in the second area, the predetermined item image is displayed. An item image of a mode different from the item image displayed in one area is displayed as a blue navigation option image (FIG. 28(b)). In this way, when the blue navigation option image is performed, the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B are performed in different modes.

On the other hand, both the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the first area (FIG. 27A) and the case where the purple navigation option image is performed in the second area (FIG. 27B) are the same aspect. Is displayed as the purple navigation option image. In this way, when the purple navigation option image is performed, the navigation option image is performed in the same manner in the double navigation effect A and the double navigation effect B.

Next, a comparison between the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect C when the replay combination is won will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example of the double-navi effect A and the double-navi effect C when the replay combination is won. When the re-game combination is won, FIGS. 29(a) to 29(c) explain an example of executing the double navigation effect A, and FIGS. 29(d) to 29(f) show the double navigation effect D. An example of execution will be described. In the present embodiment, since the re-game combination is elected, the blue navigation option image is finally selected in any case. Incidentally, in FIG. 31, the illustration of the second part of the double navigation effect is omitted.

First, the presentation mode of the double navigation effect A when the re-game combination is won will be described. It is assumed that the re-game combination is won by the lever ON, and the execution of the double navigation effect A is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 29A, by executing the double navigation effect A, a blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 and a purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. As shown in FIG. 29B, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two symbols of the re-play combination are arranged on the pay line L2. By the third stop operation of the right reel, as shown in FIG. 29(c), the blue navigation option image is selected, and the symbol of the re-gaming combination is also stopped on the winning line L2 for the right reel, and the re-gaming combination is made. Win a prize.

Next, an effect mode of the double navigation effect C when the replay combination is won will be described. It is assumed that the re-game combination is won by the lever ON, and the execution of the double navigation effect C is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 29D, by executing the double navigation effect C, the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 and the green navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. As shown in FIG. 29E, by the first stop operation of the left reel and the second stop operation of the middle reel, two symbols of the re-play combination are arranged on the pay line L2.

Here, since the green navigation option image is being performed, it is assumed that the player has pushed for the winning of the specific combination B. However, since the re-game combination is actually won, the reel control for drawing the re-game combination symbol to the pay line is performed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 29(f), by the third stop operation of the right reel, the blue navigation option image is selected, and the symbol of the re-gaming combination is derived on the pay line, and the re-gaming combination is made. Win a prize.

In such a case, from the player's perspective, the green navigation option image is displayed, and although the player has pushed for the winning of the specific combination B, the specific combination B is not won and the specific combination B is identified as a result. Since the symbol combination of the combination B does not stop on any of the pay lines L1 to L5, the player feels a little stress. However, as described above, when the double game effect C is executed when the re-gaming combination is won, the internal degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the double navigation effect A is executed. It is likely to be inside.

That is, in the double navigation effect C, when the blue navigation option image is displayed and the green navigation option image is displayed, and then the blue navigation option image is selected (replay combination winning) (FIGS. 29D to 29F). ), in the double navigation effect A, when the blue navigation option image is displayed and the purple navigation option image is displayed, and then the blue navigation option image is selected (replay combination winning) (FIGS. 29A to 29C ). )) is more advantageous than. By doing so, the stress on the player can be reduced.

Next, a comparative example depending on whether or not the double navigation effect is executed will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining a comparative example between the case where the double navigation effect is executed and the case where the double navigation effect is not executed. 30(a) and 30(b) illustrate an example in which the double navigation effect is executed, and FIGS. 30(c) and 30(d) illustrate an example in which the double navigation effect is not executed. Note that, in FIG. 30, the illustration of the second part of the double navigation effect is omitted.

First, an example in which the double navigation effect is executed will be described. It is assumed that when the lever is turned on, the specific winning combination C1 is won and the execution of the double navigation effect A is decided by lottery.

As shown in FIG. 30A, by executing the double navigation effect A, a blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area of the liquid crystal display 51 and a purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area. .. The purple navigation option image corresponds to the winning of the specific combination C or the specific combination B. Further, since the specific combination C or the specific combination B is subject to the AT lottery or the additional state lottery, the purple navigation option image suggests the possibility of winning the AT lottery or the additional state lottery. As shown in FIG. 30B, when all reels are stopped, the purple navigation option image is selected and the specific combination C is won.

Next, an example in which the double navigation effect is not executed will be described. It is assumed that when the lever is turned on, one winning combination is selected for AT lottery and additional state lottery, and the AT lottery and additional state lottery are carried out under conditions that are more advantageous than when other roles are elected. When the winning combination is won, the double navigation effect is not executed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30C, the navigation option image is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

As shown in FIG. 30D, when the reels are all stopped by pressing the specific winning combination B toward the pay lines L1 to L5, the symbol combination of one winning combination stops on the winning line. Then, one hand wins the prize. The symbol combination of the one-piece winning combination is stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, so that the BB winning is suggested.

The one-card combination is a combination in which the AT lottery and the added-state lottery are performed under a condition that is more advantageous than when other combinations are elected, and is a winning combination having a higher advantage than the re-game combination. However, as described with reference to FIGS. 30A and 30B, when the specific winning combination B or the specific winning combination C is won, the double navigation effect can be executed, whereas when the single winning combination is won. As described in FIGS. 30C and 30D, the double navigation effect is not executed. The former suggests the winning of the winning combination, while the latter suggests the winning of the winning combination by the symbol combination stopped at the winning. By doing so, it is possible to give a surprising effect to the stop of the symbol combination of the one-card combination.

Next, an example of an effect when the control of the continuous effect is performed after executing the double navigation effect will be described based on FIG. 31.

In the above-mentioned production lottery, it is possible to determine that the continuous production is performed from the game next to the game in which the selective production is performed. For example, at the start of the game in which the double navigation production is executed, the next game of the game is executed. May decide to perform continuous production.

As illustrated in FIG. 31, when it is determined that the continuous effect is to be executed in the game next to the game in which the double-navi effect is executed, the sub-control unit 91, for example, in the third part of the double-navi effect, turns purple. After the navigation option is displayed as a selection result so that it can be specified (see FIG. 31A), a shutter image covering the option image as the selection result is displayed to shield the option image (FIG. 31(b)). )), the "development" option image that suggests that the continuous production is developed is displayed, and then the start operation of the next game is performed to control to start the continuous production.

As a result, since the effect contents may change even after the option as the selection result is specified in the third part and suggest continuous production, even after the option as the selection result is specified in the third part. Further development can be expected.

As described above, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment has two options selected from the color navigation options (yellow navigation options, blue navigation options, red navigation options, green navigation options, purple navigation options) as a plurality of options. Can be displayed, and it is possible to execute a double navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51 to display any of the options as a selection result so that the selection can be specified.

In the double navigation effect, the first part in which a plurality of options are displayed, the second part in which no options are displayed after the first part, and the option as a selection result are displayed after the second part in a identifiable manner And a third part to be performed.

In the third part of the double-navi effect, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment displays only the selection result as the selection result among the plurality of selection options, and displays the selection result as the selection result in the first part. Is also displayed in a large size.

In the first part of the double navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment displays a predetermined number (two) of options one by one, and finally displays all of the predetermined number of options. ing.

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display a whiteout screen in order to switch the display in the second part of the double navigation effect.

When the player operates the start switch 7 to start the game, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment starts the first part of the double navigation effect and uses the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. When the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed, the second part of the double navigation effect is not started, and when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the second stop operation is performed. It is supposed to start the part.

Displaying on 51 indicates that the stage of the normal effect may be changed.

In the production lottery, when it is determined whether or not to execute the stage change suggestion production when a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) have passed since the previous stage switching, the stage change suggestion production is executed. Whether or not to perform it and the type of the stage of the normal effect to be transferred after that when the stage change suggesting effect is executed are determined.

For example, as shown in FIG. 32(a), the sub-control unit 91 performs an effect lottery when a predetermined number of games have passed since the previous stage switching when controlling to the normal effect stage A. When it is determined that the stage change suggestion effect is to be executed in the effect lottery, after the stage change suggestion effect is executed and the cut-in image is displayed, as shown in FIG. As shown in 32(c), for example, the stage of the normal effect is moved to the stage B, and the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is controlled to be switched from the normal effect image of the stage A to the normal effect image of the stage B. To do.

On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 32(a), when the stage A of the normal effect is controlled, the first-stage effect lottery is performed when the AT lottery target winning combination is won in the internal lottery, and the first-stage effect lottery is performed. When it is decided to perform, the effect lottery is performed, and when it is decided to execute the stage change suggestion effect in the effect lottery, as shown in FIG. After displaying the cut-in image, the control is performed to perform the pre-stage effect, and the pre-stage effect is started, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 32(d).

The navigation image corresponding to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R may have a higher transparency, and the navigation image corresponding to the operation of the first stop switch 8L, 8C, or 8R may be the second or later one. It is more preferable that the navigation image corresponding to the last operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R among the operations of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R has a higher transmittance.

In the case where the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform the pre-stage production and the navigation production using the liquid crystal display 51, and the winning result of the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41 is the specific winning combination. In the configuration, a specific combination suggestion effect is displayed in which a specific combination suggestion image indicating that the specific combination is won is displayed in a predetermined area in the navigation effect where the navigation image is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. , In the situation where all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are all controlled to rotate, if the liquid crystal display 51 displays the option image by the pre-stage effect C and the specific role suggestion image by the specific role suggestion effect, the specific role suggestion is suggested. The configuration is such that the image is displayed in front of the option image and the specific role suggestion image is made transparent so that the option image displayed behind the specific role suggestion image can be visually recognized.

According to this configuration, when the option image and the specific combination suggesting image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in a situation where all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are all rotation-controlled, the specific combination suggesting image is transmitted. As a result, the option image displayed behind the specific role suggestion image becomes visible, so that the option image behind can be suitably recognized while recognizing the specific role suggestion image.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform the pre-stage effect and the navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51, and the navigation effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 for all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. By displaying the navigation images 1a, 1b, 1c and the navigation images 2a, 2b, 2c indicating the order in which the symbols are associated and stopped, the effect of urging the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the order indicated by the navigation images is produced. Yes, the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display the option images by the pre-stage production and the navigation images 1a, 1b, 1c, and the navigation images by the navigation production on the liquid crystal display 51 in the situation where all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are all rotation-controlled. When 2a, 2b, 2c are displayed, the navigation image 1a corresponding to the operation of the first stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, the navigation image 2a, the navigation corresponding to the operation of the second stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R The navigation image is displayed in the order of the image 1b, the navigation image 2b, the navigation image 1c corresponding to the operation of the third stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, and the navigation image 2c.

According to this configuration, since the navigation images 1a, 1b, 1c and the navigation images 2a, 2b, 2c are displayed in an order that matches the operation order of the three stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, only the order indicated by the navigation image is displayed. Not only that, the operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be recognized by the timing at which the navigation image is displayed.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform the navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51, and in the navigation effect, the navigation image 1a corresponding to the operation of the first stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, the navigation In the situation where the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b corresponding to the operation of the image 2a and the second stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are displayed, when the first stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, After changing the brightness of the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b to 100% and decreasing the transmittance to 0%, the navigation image 1b is more than before the first operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. The navigation image 2b is changed so as to be enlarged.

According to this configuration, the navigation image 1a corresponding to the operation of the first stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, the navigation image 2a and the navigation image 1b corresponding to the operation of the second stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, the navigation image 2b. In the situation where is displayed, the brightness and the transmittance of the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b corresponding to the operation of the next stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R change with the operation of the first stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R. In addition to the above, the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b are enlarged, and the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b are enlarged at a timing different from the timing when the brightness and the transmittance of the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b are changed. Therefore, the navigation image 1b and the navigation image 2b corresponding to the next operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be easily specified.

[Effect 2]
As a conventional gaming machine, it is possible to execute a continuous effect that suggests the possibility that a benefit will be given over a plurality of games, and the continuous effect may be executed in a stage before the execution of the continuous effect. There is a configuration capable of executing a precursor effect that suggests.

In a configuration in which the precursor effect can be executed in the previous stage of executing the continuous effect, by executing the predictive effect, it is possible to increase the expectation that the continuous effect will be executed. There is room for improvement in the production in the stage before production.

On the other hand, in the slot machine 1 which is the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 that gives a privilege (in the present embodiment, control to the added state) and the sub-control that performs an effect related to the privilege. The sub-control unit 91 is configured to be capable of performing a continuous effect that suggests the possibility that a benefit will be given and a pre-stage effect that suggests the possibility that the continuous effect will be performed. The production includes continuous productions A to D, and the first-stage production is a first front-stage production (pre-stage production C, D, G, H) that suggests the possibility of continuous production and does not indicate the type of the continuous production. A second pre-stage production (pre-stage production A, B, E, F) that suggests the possibility of continuous production and suggests the type of the continuous production, and is specified after the first pre-stage production is performed. The advantage relating to the award of a privilege is different when the type of continuous production is performed and when the specific type of continuous production is performed after the second front stage production is performed.

According to this configuration, a privilege is given when a specific type of continuous production is performed after the first front stage production is performed and when a specific type of continuous production is performed after the second front stage production is performed. Since the advantage related to the different is different, even when the same type of continuous production is performed, it is possible to change the advantage regarding the privilege by the difference in the type of the first stage production performed before the continuous production is performed. The effect can be suitably performed. In addition, since the pre-stage production includes a first pre-stage production that does not indicate the type of continuous production and a second pre-stage production that suggests the type of continuous production, it depends on whether or not the type of continuous production is suggested by the pre-stage production. As a result, it is possible to change the degree of advantage regarding the privilege, and it is possible to suitably perform the first stage effect.

The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main control unit 41 that gives a privilege (in the present embodiment, control to be placed on top), and a sub-control unit 91 that performs an effect related to the privilege. 91 is a configuration capable of performing a continuous effect that suggests the possibility of a privilege being given and a pre-stage effect that suggests the possibility that the continuous effect will be performed. The pre-stage production is the third pre-stage production (pre-stage production). (Production A, C, E, G) and a fourth pre-stage production (pre-stage productions B, D, F, H) in which the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is larger than that of the third pre-stage production. In the configuration, the ratio of continuous production is higher when the third front stage effect is performed than when the fourth front stage effect is performed.

According to this configuration, the ratio of continuous production is higher when the third pre-stage production having a smaller number of updates is performed than when the fourth pre-stage production having a larger number of updates than the third pre-stage production is performed. Since the cost is high, it can be expected that the continuous effect is performed subsequent to the preceding effect even if the number of updates is small in the preceding effect, and the preceding effect can be suitably performed.

The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main control unit 41 that gives a privilege (in the present embodiment, control to be placed on top), and a sub-control unit 91 that performs an effect related to the privilege. 91 is a configuration capable of performing a continuous effect that suggests the possibility of a privilege being given and a pre-stage effect that suggests the possibility that the continuous effect will be performed. The pre-stage production is the third pre-stage production (pre-stage production). (Production A, C, E, G) and a fourth pre-stage production (pre-stage productions B, D, F, H) in which the number of times the production is updated according to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is larger than that of the third pre-stage production. In the third pre-stage production (pre-stage production E), the production is updated according to the stop of the first reel (first stop) and the stop of the last reel (third stop), The effect is not updated in response to the stop (second stop) of the other reels.

According to this configuration, in the third pre-stage production, the production is updated according to the stop of the first reel and the stop of the last reel, and the production is not updated according to the stop of the other reels. During the period from when the first reel is stopped to when the last reel is stopped, the effect content of the third front effect can be focused.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is capable of displaying an image, a main control unit 41 that gives a privilege (in the present embodiment, control to put it on), a sub-control unit 91 that performs an effect related to the privilege, and an image. The sub-control unit 91 includes a liquid crystal display 51, and the sub-control unit 91 indicates continuous effects (continuous effects A to D) that suggest the possibility that a benefit will be given, and pre-stage effects that suggest the possibility that the continuous effects will be performed (pre-stage). Effects A to H) and an AT state effect that causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display an AT state background image indicating that the liquid crystal display device 51 is in the AT state, and the former stage effect is the AT state background image. 5th pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects A, B, C, D) and 6th pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects E, F, G, H) performed while the AT state background image is visible In addition, the ratio of the continuous effect is higher when the fifth front effect is performed than when the sixth front effect is performed.

According to this configuration, the fifth pre-stage production performed in the AT state background image invisible state is performed more than the sixth pre-stage production performed in the AT state background image visible state. Since the ratio of the continuous effect is high, it can be expected that the continuous effect is performed when the AT state background image is invisible. Further, since the fifth front stage effect is performed in a state where the AT state background image is invisible, and the sixth front stage effect is performed in a state in which the AT state background image is visible, the proportion of the continuous stage effect to be performed after the front stage effect is The fifth pre-stage production, which is higher than the sixth pre-stage production, can be made more prominent than the sixth front-stage production, and the pre-stage production can be suitably performed.

The sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment can perform continuous effects (continuous effects A to D), pre-stage effects (pre-stage effects A to H), and AT state effects. In the pre-stage effects, the AT state background image is displayed. A fifth pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects A, B, C, D) performed in an invisible state, and a sixth pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects E, F, G, H) performed in a state where the AT state background image is visible. The sixth pre-stage effect (pre-stage effects E, F, G, H) is started in a state in which the AT state background image is visible, and when the continuous effects (continuous effects A to D) are performed. While the AT state background image is invisible at the end of the sixth front effect, the AT state background image is kept visible at the end of the sixth front effect when continuous production is not performed. It is a configuration.

According to this configuration, in the sixth front-stage production, when the continuous production is performed, the AT state background image is invisible at the end of the sixth front-stage production, while when the continuous production is not performed, the sixth front-stage production is performed. Since the state in which the AT state background image is visible is maintained at the end of the effect, it is possible to pay attention to the effect mode when the sixth front effect is ended.

Effects A to H) and an AT state effect of displaying an AT state background image that indicates that the liquid crystal display 51 is in the AT state, and the sub-control unit 91 uses the continuous effect. In (continuous effects A to D), when the privilege is not given, the darkness result suggestive image is displayed to control the display of the liquid crystal display device 51 to darken, while the preceding effect is not performed. In this configuration, the image indicating the darkening result is not displayed and the display of the liquid crystal display 51 is controlled not to be darkened.

According to this configuration, in the continuous production, the display of the liquid crystal display device 51 is darkened when it is not suggested that the privilege is given, so that it is possible to suggest that the privilege is not given. Further, in the pre-stage production, the display of the liquid crystal display 51 does not go dark when the continuous production is not performed, so that the continuous production is not performed, that is, the decline in the interest due to the award not being provided is prevented. Can be suitably performed.

Further, it is possible to recognize that the continuous effect is performed because the AT state background image is invisible.

[Operation effect 3]
The specific winning combination B win and the specific winning combination C win, in which the AT lottery and the extra ride lottery are performed, have a higher advantage than the re-game winning lottery in which the AT lottery and the extra ride lottery are not performed. In addition, when the special combination B is won, it is necessary to push down, and when the re-playing winning combination or the specific combination C is won, there is no need to push down and there is no omission. As shown in FIGS. 29 and 25, in the double navigation effect A, when the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area and the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area, the purple navigation option image is displayed. When the blue navigation option image is selected at a higher ratio and the purple navigation option image is selected, the ratio of the specific combination C being won is higher than the ratio of the specific combination B being selected. In this way, in the double navigation effect A, there is a high possibility that the blue navigation option image corresponding to the re-game combination winning without any omission is selected, and when the purple navigation option image is selected, there is no omission. There is a high possibility that the specific combination C is won. For this reason, the player recognizes that there is a high possibility that he or she has won a winning combination, but even if the player does not push the winning combination, there is a high probability of winning the re-playing combination or the specific combination C. It is possible to keep the advantage of the player as low as possible.

As shown in FIG. 29, in the double navigation effect C, when the blue navigation option image is displayed and the blue navigation option image is selected after the green navigation option image is displayed (FIGS. 29D to 29F). In the second part (not shown), in the double navigation effect A, the blue navigation option image is displayed, and after the purple navigation option image is displayed, the blue navigation option image is selected (FIGS. 29A to 29-). c) and the second part are more advantageous than (not shown). In this way, in the double-navi effect C, even if the player B does not win the special combination B because the green navi option image suggesting the pressing is performed, the double Since the advantage is higher than the situation when the navigation effect A is executed, the stress on the player can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the double navigation effect A, before any one of the blue navigation option image in the first area and the purple navigation option image in the second area is selected (FIG. 25(e)), Since the selection suggestion effect (FIG. 25(c)) that suggests that the purple navigation option image corresponding to the specific combination C winning with a high degree of advantage is selected, the player is focused on whether or not the selection suggestion effect is executed. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 27, when the specific combination B is won (double navigation effect D), the selection suggestion effect (FIG. 27C) is higher than when the specific combination C is won (double navigation effect B). Executed. When the specific combination B is won, it is necessary to push the eyes. Therefore, by executing the selection suggestion effect in this way, the player can be made to pay more attention to the situation in which the push is necessary. ..

As shown in FIGS. 25E and 25F, when the symbol combination is stopped, one of the blue navigation option image in the first area and the purple navigation option image in the second area is selected. .. By doing so, it is possible to specify which of the re-play combination winning corresponding to the blue navigation option image and the specific winning combination C winning corresponding to the purple navigation option image is used to derive the symbol combination. ..

When the specific hand B is elected, it is necessary to push the eyes, and when the special hand C is elected, there is no need to push the eyes and there is no omission. Further, as shown in FIG. 29 and FIGS. 27A to 27E, when the specific combination B is won, the green navigation option image is displayed at a higher rate than the purple navigation option image in the double navigation effect. .. In this way, when the specific winning combination B that requires a push is won, the frequency of execution of the green navigation option image suggesting a pressing increases, so the player wins the winning combination (specific winning combination C). It is possible to reduce the chances that the player does not perform the eye-catching because he/she is doing it, and to appropriately perform the eye-catching when the winning combination (specific hand B) is elected.

As shown in FIG. 23, a case where the blue navigation option image is displayed in the first area (FIG. 23A) and a case where the blue navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 23B) The blue navigation option image is displayed in a different manner. Further, the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area (FIG. 23A) and the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area (FIG. 23B) are the same. The purple navigation option image is displayed in this mode. In this way, by displaying the blue navigation option image in a plurality of modes, the display is diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved, while by displaying the purple navigation option image in the same mode, the specific character B Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the player from making a mistake when the specific combination C is won.

Since the specific combination B and the specific combination C are subjected to the AT lottery and the addition state lottery, the specific combination B winning and the specific combination C are more advantageous than when the re-gaming combination is won. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing when the specific combination B or the specific combination C having a high advantage is won.

When the specific combination B is won, the specific combination B may not win depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (it is necessary to press the eye). When the re-gaming combination is won, the re-gaming combination wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R and the operation timing (no need to press the eye and no omission). In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing when the specific winning combination B whose degree of advantage changes depending on the operation mode is won.

Next, a modification of this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the blue navigation option image is an image of juice in a glass and an image of a cake placed on a plate, but the blue navigation option image is not limited to this, and an image of any shape. May be For example, it may be the shape of some character, or the shape of food or a vehicle. Further, the color of the image for performing the navigation option image may be another color. For example, the colors of the corresponding images corresponding to the specific combination A, the specific combination C, and the specific combination B are not limited to purple, but may be white or rainbow colors.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the blue navigation option image is displayed in different modes depending on whether it is displayed in the first area or the second area. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shapes may be different depending on the shapes, the colors, the patterns, and the elements constituting the aspects. Further, it is only necessary that the player can recognize that they are different from each other when visually recognizing the two navigation option images.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the first area and the case where the purple navigation option image is displayed in the second area have the same aspect. Navi option image is now performed. However, the navigation option images are not limited to being displayed in the same manner, and the navigation option images may be displayed in substantially the same manner. For example, they may have the same shape but different colors or patterns, or may have the same colors or patterns but different shapes, or may have some elements composing the aspect in common and other elements different. Further, when the player visually recognizes the two navigation option images, it is only necessary that they can be recognized as being the same or very similar because there are common elements. For example, the characters may be the same, but the characters may face to the right and the characters may face to the left, the facial expressions of the characters may be different, and the hair colors of the characters may be different. It may be a pen with a partly different shape, or the same food but with different ingredients.

The first area is not limited to the area on the left side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the second area is not the area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The second area may be an area below the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as long as the first area and the second area are different from each other, they may be displayed in any area.

The winning probability of the double navigation effect and the execution probability of the selection suggesting effect are not limited to those shown in FIG. 29. For example, when the specific combination B is won, the execution probability of the double navigation effect A is not limited to 0%, and may be lower than the execution probability of other double navigation effects. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility of causing the player to press down when executing the double navigation effect A.

Further, the probability of executing the double navigation effect C (or the double navigation effect D) is not limited to 0% when the specific role C is won, and the probability of executing the double navigation effect C (or the double navigation effect D) when the specific role B is won. It may be lower than that. By doing so, when the green navigation option image is displayed in the double navigation effect C (or double navigation effect D), it is possible to increase the possibility that the specific winning combination B will be won by pressing.

In the present embodiment, when the specific combination B is won, it is necessary to push in order to win the prize, and the degree of advantage varies depending on the operation timing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a different winning combination may be won depending on the operation procedure, so that the payout number of medals may be different (the advantage degree may be different).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 25E and 25F, the selection suggestion effect is executed when the second stop operation is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection suggestion effect may be executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the lever was turned on. In addition, the selection suggestion effect is executed when the third stop operation is performed, the character image “PUSH” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 along with the execution of the selection suggestion effect, and the player is provided in the slot machine 1. The navigation option image may be selected when the operating means is operated.

In the present embodiment, a navigation option image corresponding to one of a plurality of lottery results that can be determined by the internal lottery is displayed, and as the navigation option image, for example, a blue navigation option image corresponding to the re-game combination winning, A purple navigation option image corresponding to each winning of the specific combination C and the specific combination B is displayed. Further, when the winning of the specific combination C or the specific combination B is decided by the internal lottery, the AT combination or the additional state selection lottery is further carried out. Therefore, the specific combination C or the specific combination B is elected rather than the re-game combination winning. It was highly advantageous.

However, the present invention is not limited to the AT lottery and the addition state lottery, and may shift to an advantageous section described later when the winning of the specific winning combination C or the specific winning combination B is determined by the first drawing. That is, the specific combination C or the specific combination B may be set as the advantageous section transition combination, and the advantageous section transition combination may be shifted to the advantageous section. By doing so, when the purple navigation option image or the green navigation option image is selected, a transition to the advantageous section is suggested.

Further, when the winning of the specific combination C or the specific combination B is decided by the internal lottery, the specific section C or the specific combination B has a higher degree of advantage than the re-game combination winning, because the transition to the advantageous section. .. Further, for example, a single-card combination may be used as an advantageous section transition combination. In this case, the double navigation effect is not executed at the time of winning the one-player combination, but the transition to the advantageous section is suggested by the winning of the one-player combination. Further, it is not limited to the case of shifting to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section shifting combination, and it may be determined whether or not to shift to the advantageous section by performing lottery after winning the advantageous section shifting combination. Further, the specific winning combination C, the specific winning combination A, the specific winning combination B, or the one-card combination may be set as the advantageous section transition winning combination, and may be simultaneously elected with BB.
