Description

The present invention includes a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which is identifiable,
The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of deriving a display result by variably displaying the variable display unit and then stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and winning a prize according to the display result.

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

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

As such a slot machine, it is possible to control to either a normal section in which operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switch cannot be reported or an advantageous section in which the operation information can be reported, which is advantageous for the player. There is a slot machine that initializes a predetermined storage area when a setting change is performed to set the degree (for example, Patent Document 1). Further, there is a slot machine in which, when the setting is changed, an initial value of the number of exhausting games until reaching the so-called ceiling game number is set by lottery (for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 6112524 JP, 2008-102566, A

When the predetermined storage area is initialized when the setting is changed as in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, information regarding the advantageous section is initialized and the state is controlled in the normal section. Here, when the initial value of the number of exhausting games is randomly selected when the setting is changed like the slot machine described in Patent Document 2, the degree of advantage is different between the players even before the game is started in the normal section after the setting is changed. As a result, the interest in the game played by the player may decrease.

The present invention has been conceived in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a slot machine that enhances interest in a game played by a player.

Equipped with a variable display unit that can variably display multiple types of identification information (for example, designs) that can be identified,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine (eg, slot machine 1) in which a prize can be generated according to the display result,
A payout state control means for controlling the payout state (for example, a process for controlling the payout state by the main controller 41);
A pre-determination means for determining a display result that permits derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41),
A derivation operation means (for example, the stop switch 8) operated to derive the display result.
L, 8C, 8R),
Notification means for notifying operation information (for example, navigation information) corresponding to the operation mode of the derivation operation means (for example, processing for executing navigation by the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91)
With and
The payout state includes a first payout state (for example, normal), a second payout state (for example, advantage zone normal), and a third payout state (for example, advantage zone AT).
The third payout state is designed such that the net increase obtained by subtracting the total value of the game value used for setting the bet number from the total value of the game value to be given is larger than that of the second payout state. (For example, the advantageous section AT has a higher payout rate than the normal advantageous section),
The notification means is incapable of notifying the operation information in the first payout state (for example, navigation is not normally executed), while being able to notify the operation information in the third payout state ( For example, navigation is executed in the advantageous section AT),
In both of the second payout state and the third payout state, an update value (for example, the total value of the net additional number, the number of exhausted games) updated based on the progress of the game is a specific value (for example, 2).
If the number of coins reaches 400, 1500G), the state is controlled to the first payout state (for example, the state is normally controlled by the limiter condition being satisfied in both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section AT). Be done),
In the first payout state, the update value is not updated (for example, normally, the total value of the net added number and the count of the exhausted game number are not updated),
In the first payout state, the determination result of the pre-determining means is a specific determination result (for example,
When the middle-tier cherry tree 7 wins), the first lottery (for example, AT lottery) regarding the control to the third payout state is performed (for example, the process of S116 shown in FIG. 21, FIG. 22B). AT lottery shown),
In the second payout state, when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result, a second lottery (for example, an advantageous lottery) regarding control to the third payout state is performed (for example, , The processing of S152 shown in FIG. 23, the advantageous lottery shown in FIG.
The first lottery is more advantageous to the player than the second lottery (for example, the number of judgment values of the direct hit AT win in the AT lottery when the middle cherry 7 match or the middle cherry character match is won in the normal , More than the number of judgment values of the AT winning in the advantageous lottery when the middle cherry 7 set or the middle cherry character set is won during the advantageous section normal).

Detects an operation on the effect switch 56 and controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the detected operation.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a specified number of bets by inserting a medal into the medal inserting unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the pay line LN becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid so that the game can be started. The pay line LN is the reel 2L displayed on the see-through window 3,
It is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols in 2C and 2R matches the combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, a so-called Oyama line is defined as the winning line, such as the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the lower stage of the reel 2R. The winning line is not limited to the small mountain, and may be provided horizontally in the middle stage such as the middle stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the middle stage of the reel 2R. Lines may be provided. In addition, an ineffective line may be provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols forming the winning is aligned with the winning line LN.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
R rotates. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main controller 41. The internal lottery is
It is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result combination) that allows derivation. Allowing the derivation of the symbol combination by the internal lottery is also referred to as winning the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination.

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed in the see-through window 3.
On the winning line LN, when the symbol combination matching the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped,
A prize corresponding to the winning combination will be generated.

In the reel stop control, the reel 2 corresponding to the operation is operated within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds in this embodiment)) from the time when the operation is performed on each stop switch.
The control for stopping the rotation of L, 2C, 2R is performed. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotation)×20 (the number of symbols per reel, for example, 20) = 1600 symbols is changed, so the predetermined maximum Stop delay time (190
Until the time (ms) has elapsed, 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, 8R are operated and the symbols up to four frames ahead of them, a total of five symbols (drawing range), are one symbol. Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

The winning combinations that can occur are a special winning combination (bonus), a small winning combination, and a replay winning combination. The special combination (bonus) is a combination in which the gaming state is controlled to be a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small combination is higher than that in the non-bonus state by winning. RB for special role (bonus)
(Regular Bonus) and BB (Big Bonus) First Class Specials, and CB
Includes second class special effects such as (Challenge Bonus). In the present embodiment,
BB is provided as a special character. The small role is a role to which a medal is given by winning the prize. The re-play role (replay) is a role in which the next game can be started without consuming the player-owned medal by winning.

In order for the winning of each winning combination determined according to the gaming state (RT state) to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination. In the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning of each winning combination described above is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7). (When is detected), it is determined by using a random number.

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 flag of the special combination is 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 allowed by that flag cannot be aligned, that winning flag will not be invalidated and will be carried over to the next game. ing.

Further, in the internal lottery, a small win that is more advantageous when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, operation sequence, operation timing) than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. And a re-gaming combination (hereinafter, also referred to as a "pushing combination") can be won. For example, the push order combination is a combination of a stop mode that is more advantageous than a stop mode that is stopped when a stop operation is performed in another predetermined operation mode when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode. , A combination in which a more advantageous stop mode is stopped when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode than when a stop operation is performed in another operation mode is included. Also,
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 is capable of executing a navigation for notifying navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous to the player when the player wins the push combination by the internal lottery. Specifically, the main control unit 41 can execute navigation notification that notifies 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 to an assist time (advantageous section AT) that is a different notification period.

As will be described later in detail, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to control the state to the payout state in the advantageous section when the predetermined predetermined lottery condition is normally established, and the advantageous section transition lottery. By performing the advantageous section transition lottery, control in the payout state during the advantageous section is started. Winning the advantageous section transition lottery is also referred to as "advantageous section winning". In the payout state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification when the push forward combination is won, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player (for example, operation Order, operation timing, etc.) using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is issued to the sub-control unit 9.
By transmitting the operation mode to No. 1, the navigation effect of notifying the operation mode using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like is executed.

In the game in which the winning combination is selected, the plum combination is won when the operation mode of the player matches the operating mode corresponding to the winning combination (hereinafter, also referred to as “correct answer procedure”).

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the correct answer procedure in accordance with the navigation, the player can win the winning combination of the winning combinations, which has the largest number of medals. Alternatively, the player uses the correct answer procedure according to the navigation to stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.
By operating, it is possible to win a winning combination that is not likely to fail to win, out of the winning combinations included in the pressing sequence. In addition, among the winning combinations included in the push sequence, the winning winning combination when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure is the "main winning combination", and the stop switch 8L in an incorrect answer procedure different from the correct answer procedure. The winning combination that can be won when 8C or 8R is operated is also referred to as a "sub winning combination".

The stop switches 8L and 8C are operated in the operation mode informed by the navigation notification and the navigation effect.
, 8R, it is possible to surely win the main character included in the pushing order winning combination that is won in the internal lottery.

[State transition]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the state transition. As shown in FIG. 3, the states managed by the main control unit 41 include a gaming state (RT state) related to the winning probability in the internal lottery and a payout state related to payout.

The gaming state includes non-inside, inside, and BB. Inside is a state in which the game can proceed and a payout rate of medals based on a predetermined design value is secured. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, most games are to be played by the player inside.

On the other hand, in the non-inside, the game is not played by the player, or even if the game is played, the time is extremely short. In non-internal, win BB and
When the B prize is missed, the game state shifts from the next game to inside. That is, the inside is a state in which the winning of BB is carried over. Once the gaming state is controlled inside, there is almost no chance of winning a BB that has been carried over, and even if there is, the probability is extremely low.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, BB is omitted as a game state, but if there is a chance to win a BB in the non-inside or inside, a game is played from the inside or inside to the BB. The state shifts. In this case, when BB ends, the game state shifts to the non-inside again.

In the present embodiment, as a payout state managed by the main control unit 41, a payout state=0, a payout state=1, a payout state=2, a payout state=3, a payout state=4, There are five types of payout states, and a payout state=5. The payout state=0 is called “normal”, and the payout state=
1 is referred to as “advantageous zone normal”, payout state=2 is referred to as “advantageous zone CZ”, payout state=3 is referred to as “advantageous zone bonus”, and payout state=4 is referred to as “advantageous zone AT”. The payout state=5 is referred to as “advantageous section ending”. The main controller 41 stores a payout flag in a predetermined area as information for managing the payout status. For example, the main control unit 41 stores the payout flag so that the payout state=0 can be specified during the normal control of the state, and the payout state= during the normal control of the advantageous interval= The payout flag is stored so that 1 can be specified, and the advantageous zone CZ
The payout flag is stored so that the payout state=2 can be specified while controlling the state, and the payout flag can be specified so that the payout state=3 can be specified while controlling the state to the advantageous zone bonus. The payout flag is stored so that the payout state=4 can be specified while the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT, and the payout state=5 is specified while the state is controlled in the advantageous section ending. Memorize the payout flag as possible. The management of each payout state is not limited to using the payout flag, and other methods may be used.

Usually, it is also called a normal section. Advantageous Zone Normally, the advantageous zone CZ, the advantageous zone bonus, the advantageous zone AT, and the advantageous zone ending are collectively referred to as an advantageous zone. Each of these payout states is a state inside. The normal section (normal) is a state in which navigation is not executed, and is a non-notification state in which navigation information cannot be reported. The advantageous section is a state in which navigation can be executed, and is a notification state in which navigation information can be notified. In the present embodiment, among the advantageous zones, the advantageous zone normal and the advantageous zone CZ are not navigated, but the advantageous zone bonus, the advantageous zone AT, and the advantageous zone ending may be navigated. .. It should be noted that the navigation may be executed in the advantageous zone normal or the advantageous zone CZ, but, for example, in the advantageous zone AT, the main character is won at the time of pushing forward winning compared with the advantageous zone normal or the advantageous zone CZ. The probability of executing the navigator to make it happen is high.

Usually, it is an example of the “first payout state”. Normally, you will be elected in the advantageous section transition lottery (
When the advantageous section is won), the state is controlled to a payout state in the advantageous section. In addition, in the present embodiment, since most of the winning combinations that can be won during the normal condition are conditions for the advantageous section winning, the normal game stay is about 1G. The conditions for winning the advantageous section may be satisfied when any of all the winning combinations that can be won during normal times is won.

Advantageous section Normally, it is an example of the "second payout state". Advantageous section Normally, navigation is not executed in most games that win the push order, so the number of medals used to set the number of bets is considered as the net increase in number of games that the player can obtain, It may be 0 or negative. That is, in the advantageous section normal, the payout rate is 1 or less or less than 1. The net additional number per game is the number of medals paid out per game minus the number of medals used to set the number of bets per game.

The advantageous zone CZ has a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous zone bonus or the advantageous zone AT than the advantageous zone normal, and is a state in which it is located on the way route from the advantage zone normal to the advantageous zone bonus or the advantageous zone AT. Winning such that the state is controlled from the advantageous zone to the advantageous zone CZ is also referred to as “CZ winning”. In the advantageous zone CZ, as in the case of the advantageous zone normal, the navigation is not executed in most of the games that win the push order, so the net increase in the number of games per player that can be obtained was used to set the bet number. Considering the number of medals, it may be 0 or negative. That is, in the advantageous zone CZ, the payout rate is 1 or less or less than 1. Note that, in the present embodiment, the advantage section normal is an example of the “second payout state”, but the advantage section CZ may be the “second payout state”.

The advantageous zone bonus is a so-called pseudo bonus that can be controlled from both the advantage zone normal and the advantage zone CZ, and can increase the net number of coins that the player can obtain by following the navigation. When the advantageous zone bonus ends, the state is always controlled to the advantageous zone AT. In the present embodiment, the advantage section normal is an example of the “second payout state”, but the advantage section bonus may be the “second payout state”.

It should be noted that, in the case of winning the middle tier cherry 7 win or the middle tier cherry character win, which will be described later, the win is such that the state is directly controlled by the advantageous zone bonus without the advantage zone normal and the advantage zone CZ, or an advantage. Winning in which the advantageous section bonus is directly controlled to the advantageous section bonus without passing through the section CZ is also referred to as “direct hit bonus winning”. In addition, when the 7-piece 1-piece winning and the 1-character-singling 1-piece winning, which will be described later, are used as an opportunity, the winning is controlled such that the advantageous area bonus is directly controlled to the advantageous area bonus without passing through the advantageous area CZ.
Also referred to as "common bonus win". Furthermore, the winning in which the state is controlled from the advantageous zone CZ to the advantageous zone bonus is also referred to as “bonus winning”.

In the advantageous zone bonus, since the navigation is executed in the game that wins the push order, the net increase in the number of games that can be obtained by the player, even if the number of medals used for setting the bet number is taken into consideration. , Will be a plus. That is, in the advantageous section bonus, the payout rate exceeds 1. Therefore, the advantageous zone bonus is in a more advantageous state than both the advantageous zone normal and the advantageous zone CZ.

The advantageous zone AT is a state that can be controlled by both the advantageous zone bonus and the advantageous zone CZ, and is an example of the “third payout state”. A win in which the state is controlled from the advantageous zone CZ to the advantageous zone AT is also referred to as “AT winning”. In the advantageous section AT, since the navigation is executed in the game that wins the push order, the net increase in the number of games that the player can obtain is
Even if the number of medals used to set the number of bets is taken into consideration, it becomes a plus. That is, the payout rate exceeds 1 in the advantageous section AT. Therefore, the advantageous section AT is in a more advantageous state than both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ.

Normally, when the direct hit bonus is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous section bonus. Note that normally, when the direct hit bonus is won, a precursor effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus is not executed. Also, normally,
When the advantageous zone is won, the state is controlled normally in the advantageous zone.

Advantageous section Normally, when the direct hit bonus is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous section bonus. In addition, when the direct hit bonus is won in the advantage section normal, a precursor effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantage section bonus is not executed. In this way, in both the normal and the advantageous section normal cases, when the direct hit bonus is won, a precursor effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantageous section bonus is not executed.

Further, in the advantage section normal, when the common bonus is won, the state is controlled to the advantage section bonus. In addition, when the common bonus is won in the advantage section normal, a precursor effect is suggested to suggest or agitate that the state is controlled by the advantage section bonus. For example, when the common bonus is won in the advantage section normal, the common bonus is won by the character image or the lighting of the lamp in the game in which the common bonus is won, or one or more games after the next game, and the advantage section bonus. An effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled is performed, and then the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus. In this way, when the common bonus is won in the advantage section normal,
A precursor effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus is executed.

Further, normally, when the CZ is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous section CZ. In addition, when the CZ is won in the advantageous section normal, a symptom effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ is executed. For example, when the CZ is won in the advantage section normal, in the game in which the CZ is won, or in one or a plurality of games after the next game, the fact that the CZ is won and the advantage section CZ is in a state due to lighting of a character image or a lamp. A production that suggests or incites to be controlled is performed,
After that, the state is controlled in the advantageous zone CZ.

In the advantageous zone CZ, when the bonus is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, when a bonus is won in the advantageous zone CZ, a precursor effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus is executed. For example, when a bonus is won in the advantageous zone CZ, in the game in which the bonus is won, or in one or more games after the next game, the fact that the bonus is won and the advantageous zone bonus is indicated by lighting a character image or a lamp. An effect that suggests or incites to be controlled is performed, and then the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus. Further, in the advantageous zone CZ, when the AT is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous zone AT. In addition, when AT is won in the advantageous zone CZ, a symptom effect is executed that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled in the advantageous zone AT. For example, if the player wins the AT in the advantageous section CZ, in the game in which the AT has been won, or in one or more games after the next game, the AT is won by the character image or the lighting of the lamp, and the advantageous section A.
An effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by T is performed, and then the state is controlled by the advantageous section AT.

The control to the advantageous section CZ is managed by, for example, the number of games, and on the condition that the number of games consumed in the advantageous section CZ reaches the preset upper limit number of games, the advantageous section CZ is controlled.
Ends. The advantageous zone CZ is not limited to being managed by the number of games, and the number of times the navigation is executed and the number of winnings of the leading role at the time of winning the push forward combination reaches the preset upper limit number, and the payout number and the net increase number. May be managed based on other conditions such as reaching the upper limit number set in advance.

The control to the advantageous section AT is managed by, for example, the number of times the navigation is executed, and the advantageous section AT is controlled.
The advantageous section AT ends, on condition that the number of times of executing the navigation executed inside has reached a preset upper limit number. The advantageous section AT is not limited to that managed by the number of times the navigation is executed, and the number of digested games reaches the preset upper limit number of games, and the number of winnings of the leading role at the time of winning the push order combination is set in advance. It may be managed based on other conditions such as reaching the upper limit number and reaching the preset upper limit number of payout number or net increase number.

When the advantageous zone AT ends, the state is controlled again to the advantageous zone CZ, and when the AT is won in the advantageous zone CZ, the state is again controlled to the advantageous zone AT. On the other hand, when the number of exhausted games reaches the upper limit number of games without winning the AT in the advantageous zone CZ, the state is controlled to be in the advantageous zone normal. In this manner, the state is controlled from the advantageous zone normal to the advantageous zone AT via the advantageous zone CZ or the advantageous zone bonus, and the state moves back and forth between the advantageous zone CZ and the advantageous zone AT. In the advantageous zone CZ, the total net increase is 0 or negative, and in the advantageous zone AT, the total net increase is 0 or larger than the minus in the advantageous zone CZ. Therefore, the total number of net added sheets is designed to continue to increase when the state changes between the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT. On the other hand, in the advantageous section normal, the total number of net increase is 0 or negative, so the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT
If the number of games staying in the advantageous section normal becomes larger than the number of games staying between and, the total net increase will continue to decrease.

As described above, a normal game stay is about 1G. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, the advantageous section usually, the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section bonus, the advantageous section AT, etc.
There are a plurality of states, and in addition, the end condition is set so that the upper limit number of times exceeding 1 G is usually set in the advantageous section that will stay first when shifting from the normal state to the advantageous section. Therefore, the game stay in the payout state during the advantageous section exceeds 1G. As described above, the slot machine 1 is designed so that the normal game stay ratio is lower than the game stay ratio in the payout state during the advantageous section.

In the payout state during the advantageous zone, the state is controlled to the advantageous zone ending when the total value of the net additional number of medals updated based on the progress of the game reaches a predetermined ED transition difference sheet. The advantageous zone ending is, for example, a state in which it is determined that the control to the payout state during the advantageous zone continues until the total value of the net additional numbers reaches the upper limit number. For example, when the difference between the ED transitions is set to 2100 and the upper limit is set to 2400, when the total value of the net increase in the payout state in the advantageous section reaches 2100, the net increase is The payout state in the advantageous section (specifically, the advantageous section AT) continues until the total value of 2400 is reached.
In this case, the acquisition of 300 medals will be confirmed when the total value of the net increase in number reaches 2100. The ED shift difference sheet is set when the state shifts from the normal state to the payout state in the advantageous section. The ED transition difference sheet may be determined by lottery or may be determined in advance.

When the limiter condition is satisfied in the payout state in the advantageous section or any end condition is satisfied, the state is normally controlled from the payout state in the advantageous section. At this time, the total value of the number of digested games and the number of net additions counted in the payout state in the advantageous section, and the points that can be acquired during the game are also initialized. Note that the limiter conditions include that the number of exhausted games in the payout state in the advantageous section reaches 1500 G, or that the total value of the net increase in the payout state in the advantageous section exceeds 2400. In addition, in the payout state during the advantageous section, the total value of the number of net additions and the count of the number of digested games are updated according to the progress of the game, whereas normally, according to the progress of the game, The total number of net additions and the count of digested games are not updated. In addition, for example, the optional end condition is that a predetermined end condition is satisfied without a direct hit bonus, a common bonus win, or a CZ win in the advantage section normal, and a bonus win or an AT win in the advantage section CZ. It includes that a predetermined termination condition is met without any exception.

When the setting is changed in the payout state in the normal or advantageous section, the state is normally controlled. At this time, the total value of the number of digested games and the number of net additions counted in the payout state in the advantageous section, and the points obtainable during the game are also reset. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout rate of medals changes according to the set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by changing the winning probability in a predetermined lottery such as CZ lottery according to a set value (for example, 1 to 6). A clerk of the amusement store or the like can change this set value by changing the setting. In addition, when the setting is changed, no lottery is performed such as determining the initial value of the number of exhausting games until the ceiling number of games is reached.

As described above, the conditions for the state to shift normally from the payout state in the advantageous zone include a limiter condition and an arbitrary ending condition that are established based on the progress of the game, and a condition that the setting is changed.

It is the protagonist who can win when the winning order is selected, and at the time of winning the number of medals used for betting (
8 medals, more than 3) will be paid out. The plums 1 to 6 are collectively referred to as a "plum role". The one-role combination 1 to 33 is a sub-role that can be won at the time of winning the push order combination, and at the time of winning, one medal less than the number of medals used for the number of bets (three) is paid out. The one-to-one winning combinations 1 to 33 are collectively referred to as "one-to-one winning combinations".

As shown in FIG. 6, when the "character-character-red 7" is derived in the reels 2L, 2C, 2R among the symbol combinations in which the winning of the one-piece winning combination 22 occurs, three character symbols are arranged side by side on the reel. Will be placed. Specifically, by deriving the character symbols in each of the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R, the character symbols are arranged side by side in an upward direction. In addition, the fact that the character patterns are arranged side by side is also referred to as “character alignment”.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the "character-character-plum" or "character-plum-plum" is derived from the reels 2L, 2C, 2R among the symbol combinations in which the winning of the one-piece winning combination 23 occurs, 7 symbols are obtained. Three of them are arranged side by side on the reel. Specifically, 7 symbols are derived in each of the upper stage of the left reel 2L, the upper stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R, so that the 7 symbols are arranged side by side in the upper stage. It should be noted that the arrangement of the 7 symbols side by side is also referred to as “7 sets”.

[Lottery target]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining combinations of winning combinations that are read out as lottery target combinations for each game state. The winning combination number column of FIG. 8 shows the winning combination number determined for each winning combination.
The flag category column shows the flag number assigned to each type of lottery target combination, the lottery target combination column shows its name, and the combination column of winning combinations is included in each lottery target combination. A combination of winning combinations is shown, and in the gaming state column, it is indicated by a circle for each gaming state that the lottery target is a lottery target, and the advantageous section winning column shows whether or not there is an advantageous section winning. ing.

As shown in FIG. 8, as the lottery target combination of the re-game combination, there are provided a normal rep, a 7-match rep, a 7-unmatch rep, a character-match rep, and a character-unmatch rep. As the winning combinations of the small winning combinations, common combinations, 123 combinations A to D, 132 combinations A to D, 213 combinations A to D, 231 combinations A to D, 312 combinations A to D, 321 combinations. A to D, watermelon, 7 pieces of 1 and 2 pieces, character arrangement of 1 piece, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle row cherry 7 pieces, middle row cherry character arrangement, and chance eyes A and B are provided. A BB is provided as a special lottery target. As the small winning combination in the BB, one of the BB small and small winning combinations and the BB is provided. Note that 123 combinations A to D, 132 combinations A to D, 213 combinations A to D, 231 combinations A to D, 312.
The combinations A to D and 321 combinations A to D are types of push forward combinations because they are the combinations in which the navigation can be executed when the winning is achieved. Further, the 7-sheet 1 sheet 1 and 2 are collectively referred to as “7-sheet 1 sheet”.

In the non-internal, all roles can be won, but in the internal, since the winning of BB has already been carried over, it becomes impossible to win BB, BB small and medium roles, and 1 in BB. There is.

A combination corresponding to FC2 or FC3, such as a set of 7 pieces or a set of characters, has a lower probability of winning in the internal lottery than a push order combination, and is a so-called rare combination. Furthermore, the middle-tier cherry 7 assortment and the middle-tier cherry character assemblage have a lower probability of winning the internal lottery than any other roles including the roles corresponding to FC2 and FC3, and are so-called super rare roles. It can be said that the general roles corresponding to the combination numbers 1, 6 to 30 have a higher probability of winning in the internal lottery than the rare combination and the super rare combination.

[Reel control with push-down role]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of the push forward combination winning. As described above, in the present embodiment, the navigation is executed and the player is informed of the correct answer procedure in the advantageous section AT or in the game in which the push forward combination is won in the advantageous section bonus. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the correct answer procedure according to the navigation, the player can win a winning combination (main character) advantageous to the player.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, 123 alternatives A to D, 132 alternatives A to D, 213 alternatives A to D.
In the game in which any one of D, 231 alternatives A to D, 312 alternatives A to D, and 321 alternatives A to D is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, While a certain Plum winning combination is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the incorrect answer procedure, a single winning combination as a sub winning combination is won. Note that the stop switches 8L, 8
When the winning of the one-role combination, which is the sub-role, is lost when C and 8R are operated, no winning may be generated.

[Reel control of other roles]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning another win. As shown in FIG. 10, in a game in which one of 7 pieces is won, when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the one-piece winning combination 23 is won, and depending on the operation timing, 7 A set can be derived. In addition, operating the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L in this order is also referred to as “reverse pressing”. On the other hand, in the game in which one of the seven pieces is won, the one-piece winning combination 16 is won when the stop switch is operated other than by reverse pressing. In addition, in a game in which one set of 7 sets is won, when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the 7 set may be derived regardless of the operation timing.

In the game in which one character set is won, when the stop switch is operated by reverse pressing, the one-piece hand 22 is won, and the character set can be derived depending on the operation timing.
On the other hand, in the game in which one character set is won, the one-piece winning combination 16 is won when the stop switch is operated other than by reverse pressing. In addition, in a game in which one character set is won, when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the character set may be derived regardless of the operation timing.

In the game in which the middle tier cherry 7 set is won, regardless of the operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the one-piece winning combination 23 is won, and the 7 set can be derived depending on the operation timing. In addition, in the game in which the middle tier cherry 7 is won, the stop switches 8L, 8
7 sets may be derived regardless of the operation timings of C and 8R.

In the game that wins the middle-tier cherry character alignment, regardless of the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, the single-card combination 22 is won, and the character alignment can be derived depending on the operation timing. In addition, in the game in which the middle-stage cherry character alignment is won, the character alignment may be derived regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

In this way, in the game in which one of the seven sets has been won, the stop switch is operated by reversely pressing, so that, similarly to the game in which the middle tier of the seven sets is won, the one-piece hand 23 is won and the operation timing is changed. Can derive 7 sets. On the other hand, in a game in which one of the seven sets is won, a stop switch is operated other than by reversely pressing, so that a winning combination different from that in the game in which the middle row of the seven sets is won is won.

In addition, in the game in which one character is selected, the stop switch is operated by pressing it backwards, so that the one-player combination 22 is won and the character is changed depending on the operation timing, as in the game in which the middle cherry character is selected. A set can be derived. On the other hand, in a game in which one character is selected, the stop switch is operated other than by reversely pressing, so that a different winning combination from the game selected in the middle cherry character combination is won.

[Example of reel control]
11 and 12 are diagrams for explaining an example of reel control. As shown in FIG. 11A, when the middle cherry 7 set or the middle cherry character set is won, when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8L, depending on the operation timing, 7 may be displayed on the upper stage.
A design, a cherry design in the middle tier, and a character design in the lower tier are derived. Thus, in the left reel 2L, the cherry symbol is derived in the middle row, and in the upper and lower rows, such as the 7 symbol and the character symbol, the symbols that stand out as compared to general symbols such as replay symbols and plum symbols. Is derived, the player is urged to operate the stop switch at the timing of deriving the 7 symbols and the character symbols after the second stop operation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the second stop operation is performed on the middle stop switch 8C, the 7 symbols in the upper stage and the character symbols in the middle stage are derived depending on the operation timing. In this way, the 7 symbols and the character symbols are collectively derived on the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C, so that the player operates the stop switch at the timing of deriving the 7 symbols and the character symbols in the third stop operation. You are prompted to do so.

As shown in FIG. 11C, when the middle cherries 7 are selected, when the third stop operation is performed on the right stop switch 8R, 7 symbols are drawn to the upper stage depending on the operation timing. In this case, the one-piece winning combination 23 wins, and there are 7 sets in the upper row. On the other hand, FIG. 11(d)
As shown in, when the middle-tier cherry character is selected, when the third stop operation is performed on the right stop switch 8R, the character design is derived in the upper stage. In this case, one role 22
Will win, and the characters will rise to the right.

As shown in FIG. 12(a1), when 7 rows of middle cherries or 1 piece of 7 rows are won,
When the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8R, seven symbols are drawn to the upper stage depending on the operation timing. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12(b1), when the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8C, 7 symbols are drawn to the upper stage depending on the operation timing.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12(c1), when the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8L, depending on the operation timing, 7 symbols are derived in the upper stage and cherry symbols are derived in the middle stage. In this case, the one-piece winning combination 23 wins, and there are 7 sets in the upper row.

As shown in FIG. 12(a2), when the middle-stage cherry character alignment or one character alignment is won, when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8R, the character symbol is derived to the upper stage depending on the operation timing. .. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12(b2), when the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8C, the character symbol is led to the middle stage depending on the operation timing. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12(c2), when the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8L, the character design is derived in the lower stage and the cherry design is derived in the middle stage depending on the operation timing. In this case, the one-piece winning combination 22 wins and the characters are arranged in an upward direction.

As shown in FIG. 12(a3), when 7 pieces of 1 piece or 1 piece of character piece is won, when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8L, the plum symbol on the upper stage, the replay symbol on the middle stage, and While the red 7 symbol is derived in the lower row, the cherry symbol is not derived in the middle row.
After that, the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8C as shown in FIG. 12(b3), and the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8R as shown in FIG. 12(c3). Then, the symbol combination corresponding to the one-sheet combination 16 is derived.

In this way, when the middle tier cherry character set or the middle tier cherry 7 set is won, when the left reel 2L is first stopped, the cherry symbol is led to the middle stage. On the other hand, in the case of winning one set of seven or one set of characters, when the left reel 2L first stops, the cherry symbol is not derived in the middle row. In addition, in the case of winning the middle-tier cherry character set or the middle-tier cherry set 7, or one of the seven sets or one of the character sets, when the right reel 2R first stops, the left reel 2L has a cherry pattern in the middle stage. Derive.

[Setting change process]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the setting change process executed by the main control unit. As shown in FIG. 13, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is a setting change operation (S2). When there is no setting change operation (NO in S2), the main control unit 41 ends this processing.

On the other hand, when there is a setting change operation (YES in S2), the main control unit 41 initializes the values regarding all counters and stocks (S4). For example, the total value of the number of exhausted games and the number of net additions counted in the payout state during the advantageous section, and the value of points obtainable during the game are initialized. Further, when the CZ stock which is the right to control the state in the advantageous zone CZ and the AT stock which is the right to control the state in the advantageous zone AT are held, the stock is also initialized.

After that, the main control unit 41 normally controls the state (S6). For example, when the setting is changed normally, the state is normally maintained, and when the setting is changed in the payout state in the advantageous section, the state is normally controlled. After that, the main controller 41
This process ends.

In addition, when the setting is changed, no lottery is performed such as determining the initial value of the number of exhausting games until the ceiling number of games is reached.

[Normal processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the normal processing performed by the main control unit 41. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a normal lottery table. The main control unit 41 executes the normal processing when the start operation is performed in each normal game.

As shown in FIG. 14, the main control unit 41 carries out an advantageous section transition lottery (S12). In the advantageous section transition lottery, the advantageous section is won when one of the winning combination numbers 6 to 40 of the lottery target combinations shown in FIG. 8 is won.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15(a), in the advantageous section transition lottery, when the winning combination number won in the internal lottery is 6 to 40, the advantageous section is won with 100% probability, while the internal lottery is drawn. When the winning number won in is any other number, the advantageous section is not won.

Returning to FIG. 14, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section has been won after performing the advantageous section transition lottery (S14). The main control unit 41 does not win the advantageous section (S1
(NO in 4), and this process ends. On the other hand, if the main control unit 41 wins the advantageous section (S
(YES in 14), a point acquisition lottery is conducted (S16). In the point acquisition lottery, points are determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the point acquisition lottery, the number of points to be awarded is determined by lottery based on the flag category won in the internal lottery, and points are awarded to the player. .. In the normal advantageous section, when the number of points awarded based on the result of the point acquisition lottery reaches 1000p, the CZ stock is awarded to the player. CZ stock is
This is a right to control the state in the advantageous zone CZ. For example, one CZ stock controls the state in the advantageous zone CZ over a period of 30G.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 15(a), the advantageous section transition lottery is performed based on the winning combination numbers assigned to the respective lottery target winning combinations in the internal lottery, and as shown in FIG. 15(b),
The point acquisition lottery relating to the award of points normally used in the advantageous section is performed based on the category flag assigned to each type of lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

Returning to FIG. 14, after performing the point acquisition lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the middle row cherry 7 is won (S18). When the middle tier cherry 7 is won (YES in S18), the main control unit 41 performs the control for shifting the state from the normal to the advantageous zone bonus because the direct hit bonus is won (S20). Also, since the direct hit bonus was won,
It is confirmed that the AT stock is given to the player and is controlled to the advantageous section AT. AT stock is the right to control the state in the advantageous section AT. For example, AT stock 1
For this reason, the state is controlled to the advantageous section AT over the period of 30 G, or the state is controlled to the advantageous section AT for the period until the navigation is performed 30 times.

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "0" which normally corresponds to "3" which corresponds to the advantageous zone bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, in this game, since the middle row of cherries has been won, the 7 rows can be derived regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S20.

On the other hand, if the main control unit 41 has not won the middle-tier cherry 7 set (NO in S18).
), it is determined whether or not the middle tier cherry character match has been won (S22). Main control unit 41
If you win the middle-tier cherry character set (YES in S22), perform a freeze lottery (
S24). Further, since the direct hit bonus is won, it is confirmed that the AT stock is given to the player and the player is controlled to the advantageous section AT. In the freeze lottery, it is determined whether or not the freeze is won, and when the freeze is won, the number of AT stocks to be granted is determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15C, in the freeze lottery, when the winning combination number won in the internal lottery is 38 (middle cherry character alignment), whether or not the freeze is won and the freeze is won The number of AT stocks to be provided in is determined by lottery. When the freeze is won, freeze control for delaying the progress of the game for a predetermined delay period is performed in the games subsequent to the game in which the middle tier cherry character match is won. For example, the period until the first stop operation is validated after the start operation is delayed, or the period until the winning effect is executed after the third stop operation is delayed. Then, by performing the freeze control, the AT stock of the determined number of additions is additionally provided.

Returning to FIG. 14, after the processing of S24, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state from normal to the advantageous zone bonus (S26).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "0" which normally corresponds to "3" which corresponds to the advantageous zone bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, in this game, since the middle-tier cherry character alignment is won, the character alignment can be derived regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S26.

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state from normal to the advantageous section normal when the middle cherry character is not won (NO in S22) (S28).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "0" corresponding to normal to "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section normal. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S28.

In this way, when the winning combination corresponding to winning combination numbers 6 to 40, which is the advantageous section transition combination, is won by the internal lottery, the processing for shifting the state from the normal state to the payout state in the advantageous section is performed, and the point Winning lottery will be held. In addition, if you win 1 set of 7 or 1 set of characters, you will win the advantageous section, but you will not win the direct hit bonus like you would if you got 7 sets of middle tier cherry or the same set of middle tier cherry characters. Therefore, the advantageous section bonus is not controlled to the advantageous section AT.

[Regular processing during advantageous section]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the processing during the advantageous section normal that is executed by the main control unit 41.
FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the lottery table during the advantageous section normal. Main control unit 41
Executes the during-advantageous section normal process when the start operation is performed in each game during the during-advantageous section normal.

As shown in FIG. 16, the main control unit 41 determines that the number of digesting games in the advantageous section is 300G or 6G.
It is determined whether it is 00G or 900G (S52). When the number of exhausting games in the payout state in the advantageous section is any of 300G, 600G, and 900G (YES in S52), the main control unit 41 performs the prescribed game number CZ lottery (S54). In the prescribed game number CZ lottery, it is determined whether or not to win the CZ.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17A, in the prescribed game number CZ lottery, whether or not to win the CZ in the lottery is determined based on the number of advantageous zones G that has been reached. When CZ is won in the prescribed number of games CZ lottery, CZ stock is given to the player.

Returning to FIG. 16, the main control unit 41 determines that the number of exhausting games in the payout state during the advantageous section is 9
It is determined whether or not it is 00G (S56). When the number of playing games in the payout state in the advantageous section is 900G (YES in S56), the main control unit 41 gives the player AT stock (S58).

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 determines that the number of digesting games in the payout state during the advantageous section is 300G,
If neither 600G nor 900G (NO in S52), the number of exhausting games in the payout state in the advantageous section is not 900G (NO in S56), or after the process of S58, the CZ lottery is performed (S60). ). In the CZ lottery, it is determined whether or not to win the CZ.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17B, in the CZ lottery, whether or not to win the CZ in the lottery is determined based on the flag category won in the internal lottery. Furthermore, in the CZ lottery, the probability of winning the CZ differs depending on whether the current setting value is 1 to 5 or the current setting value is 6. Specifically, when the current setting value is 6, the probability of winning the CZ is higher than when the current setting value is 1 to 5. C in the CZ lottery
When Z is won, CZ stock is given to the player.

Returning to FIG. 16, the main control unit 41 performs a point acquisition lottery after the processing of S60 (S
62). In the point acquisition lottery, points are determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination shown in FIG.

Specifically, in the point acquisition lottery, as shown in FIG. 17C, the number of points to be awarded is determined by lottery based on the flag category won in the internal lottery, and points are awarded to the player. ..

Returning to FIG. 16, after performing the point acquisition lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the middle row cherry 7 is won (S64). When the middle tier cherry 7 is won (YES in S64), the main control unit 41 performs the control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone bonus because the direct hit bonus is won (S66). Further, since the direct hit bonus is won, it is confirmed that the AT stock is given to the player and the player is controlled to the advantageous section AT.

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "3" corresponding to the advantage section bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, in this game, since the middle row of 7 cherries has been won, the 7 cherries can be derived regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S66.

On the other hand, if the main control unit 41 has not won the middle-tier cherry 7 set (NO in S64).
), it is determined whether or not the middle-tier cherry character match has been won (S68). Main control unit 41
If you win the middle-tier cherry character matchup (YES in S68), perform a freeze lottery (
S70). Further, since the direct hit bonus is won, it is confirmed that the AT stock is given to the player and the player is controlled to the advantageous section AT. In the freeze lottery, it is determined whether or not the freeze is won, and when the freeze is won, the number of AT stocks to be granted is determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17D, in the freeze lottery, when the winning combination number in the internal lottery is 38 (middle cherry character alignment), whether or not the freeze is won and the freeze is won The number of AT stocks to be provided in is determined by lottery. When the freeze is won, freeze control for delaying the progress of the game for a predetermined delay period is performed in the games subsequent to the game in which the middle tier cherry character match is won. For example, the period until the first stop operation is validated after the start operation is delayed, or the period until the winning effect is executed after the third stop operation is delayed. Then, by performing the freeze control, the AT stock of the determined number of additions is additionally provided.

Returning to FIG. 16, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone bonus after the processing of S70 (S72).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "3" corresponding to the advantage section bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, in this game, since the middle-tier cherry character alignment is won, the character alignment can be derived regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S72.

On the other hand, when the main controller 41 has not won the middle cherry character set (NO in S68), a common bonus lottery is performed (S74). In the common bonus lottery, the common bonus first lottery is first performed, and the common bonus second lottery is performed only when the common bonus first lottery is won. In the common bonus second lottery, it is determined whether or not the advantageous zone bonus is controlled.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17(e), in the common bonus first lottery, when one of the combinations is won in the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the first bonus is won in the lottery. .. When the first bonus is won in the common bonus first lottery, the common bonus second lottery can be taken.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17F, in the common bonus second lottery, it is determined whether or not the second bonus is won in the lottery based on the flag category won in the internal lottery. Specifically, in the common bonus second lottery, lottery is performed with different probabilities depending on whether the flag category won in the internal lottery is FC2 or FC3. The combination corresponding to FC2 includes one set of seven, and the combination corresponding to FC3 includes one set of character. In other words, if one player wins a set of 7 and one character, a chance to control the advantageous zone bonus is given. Furthermore, in the common bonus second lottery, the current set value is 1 to 5
The probability of winning the second bonus is different depending on whether the present setting value is 6 or the present setting value. Specifically, when the current setting value is 6, the probability of the second bonus winning is higher than when the current setting value is 1 to 5. If the second bonus is won in the common bonus second lottery, the common bonus is won.

Returning to FIG. 16, after the processing of S74, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a common bonus has been won (S76). When the common bonus is won (Y in S76)
S), control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone bonus is performed (S78). Since the common bonus is won, it is confirmed that the AT stock is given to the player and the player is controlled to the advantageous section AT.

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "3" corresponding to the advantage section bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. In addition, in this game, when one of the 7 sets is won, a navigation is performed to allow the player to operate the stop switch by pressing the switch backward, and the player presses the switch backwards to derive the 7 sets. Can be done. Alternatively, when one character set is won, a navigation for causing the player to operate the stop switch by reversely pressing is performed, and the player can reversely press to derive the character combination. In addition,
When the precursor effect is performed over a plurality of games, the navigation for deriving 7 sets or character sets need not be performed in the game for which the common bonus has been won because the common bonus is not definitely notified. .. After the processing of S78, the main control unit 41 ends this processing.

On the other hand, when the common bonus is not won (NO in S76), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the accumulated points are 1000p or more (S80). Main control unit 41
When the accumulated points are 1000p or more (YES in S80), CZ stock is added instead of subtracting 1000p from the accumulated points (S82). After that, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone CZ (S84).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "2" corresponding to the advantage section CZ. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone CZ. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S84.

On the other hand, if the accumulated points are not 1000p or more (S80)
No), it is determined whether or not the CZ stock is added (S86). Main control unit 4
When the CZ stock is given (YES in S86), 1 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone CZ (S84).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "2" corresponding to the advantage section CZ. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone CZ. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S88.

On the other hand, when the CZ stock is not added (NO in S86), the main control unit 41 determines
This process ends.

[Example of performance screen]

As a result, as shown in FIG. 18(d1), the Lip 2 winning occurs after the third stop and release. For example, the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned on.

Next, as shown in FIG. 19(a2), it is assumed that the watermelon corresponding to the winning combination number 31 is won when the start operation is performed in the normal n+1th game. At this time, FIG.
), the advantageous section is won by watermelon winning. As a result, the state shifts from the next game to the payout state in the advantageous section.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19(b2), when the first stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8L, the watermelon symbol is led to the upper stage of the left reel 2L. Then, as shown in FIG. 19(c2), when the second stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8C, the watermelon symbol is led to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C. Then, as shown in FIG. 19(d2), when the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch 8R, the watermelon symbol is led to the lower stage of the right reel 2R. As a result, as shown in FIG. 19(e2), a watermelon prize occurs after the third stop and release. For example, the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28 are turned on.

After that, as shown in FIG. 19(f2), the point area 65 starts to light up after a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (g2), information indicating the initial value (“000” in this example) is displayed in the illuminated point area 65. Further, “+10” is displayed in a region different from the point region 65 on the liquid crystal display 51 as information indicating that 10 points are to be given. After that, an animation moving image is displayed as if the number shown as "+10" is in the point area 65, and as shown in FIG. 19(h2), the point area 65 is displayed.
Is displayed with information indicating “10 points” (“010” in this example). After that, the game in the payout state in the advantageous section starts from the next game.

In this way, in the game in which the state is determined to shift from the normal state to the payout state in the advantageous section, notification of the points updated in the game in the payout state in the advantageous section starts in the point area 65. ..

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Regarding the slot machine according to the second embodiment, only the parts different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described, and other parts will be described with reference to the slot machine according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

[State transition]
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the state transition according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20, also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, non-inside, inside, and BB are provided as the game state, and normally, it is advantageous for the payout state in the inside. Section In general, an advantageous section CZ, an advantageous section bonus, an advantageous section AT, and an advantageous section ending are included.

Normally, when an advantageous section is won, an AT lottery for determining whether to control the state in the advantageous section AT is performed. Normally, when winning in the AT lottery, the state is controlled to the advantageous section AT. In addition, in the normal or the advantageous zone normal, the winning that the state is directly controlled to the advantageous zone AT without the advantage zone CZ or the advantageous zone bonus
Also called "winning."

Normally, when a direct hit AT is won, a symptom effect is executed that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT. For example, when a direct hit AT is normally won, in the game where the direct hit AT is won, or in one or more games after the next game, the direct hit AT is won and the advantageous section AT is reached by lighting a character image or a lamp. Is suggested to be controlled or agitated, and then
The state is controlled in the advantageous section AT.

Advantageous section Normally, an advantageous lottery is performed to determine whether to control the advantageous section CZ, whether to control the advantageous section bonus, and whether to control the advantageous section AT. In the advantageous lottery, the winning such that the state is controlled in the advantageous zone CZ is “CZ winning”, the winning in which the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus is “beneficial zone bonus winning”, and the state is controlled in the advantageous zone AT. Such a win is also referred to as “direct hit AT win”.

Advantageous section Normally, when the direct hit AT is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous section AT. In this case, a precursor effect that suggests or incites that the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT is executed. For example, when the direct hit AT is won in the advantageous section normal, the direct hit AT is won by the character image or the lighting of the lamp in the game that won the direct hit AT, or one or more games after the next game, and the advantageous section AT The effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled is performed, and then the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT.

Advantageous section Normally, when the advantageous section bonus is won, the state is controlled to the advantageous section bonus. In this case, a precursor effect that suggests or incites that the advantageous zone bonus is controlled in state is executed. For example, when the advantageous section bonus is won in the advantageous section normal, the advantageous section bonus is won by a character image or lighting of a lamp in the game in which the advantageous section bonus is won, or in one or more games after the next game, and An effect that suggests or agitates that the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus is performed, and then the state is controlled by the advantageous zone bonus.

The other control and processing relating to state transition are the same as the control and processing relating to state transition of the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

[Normal processing]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the normal processing performed by the main control unit 41 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the normal lottery table according to the second embodiment. The main control unit 41 executes the normal processing when the start operation is performed in each normal game.

As shown in FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 carries out an advantageous section transition lottery (S112). In the advantageous zone transition lottery, the presence or absence of the winning is determined based on whether or not the random number value obtained from the numerical values belonging to the predetermined range matches a predetermined determination value. Specifically, one or a plurality of random number values are acquired from the numerical values belonging to the range of 1 to 255, and if the acquired random number value matches the predetermined determination value, the advantageous section is won, and if it does not match, it is advantageous. Do not win the section. The same method is used not only in the advantageous section transition lottery, but also in the AT lottery, the ED transition difference lottery, the advantageous lottery, and the highly accurate transition lottery described later.

In the advantageous section transition lottery, the advantageous section is won when one of the winning combination numbers 6 to 40 of the lottery target combinations shown in FIG. 8 is won. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22A, in the advantageous section transition lottery, when the winning combination numbers of the internal lottery are 6 to 40, the number of determination values corresponding to the advantageous section win is 255. It is set. On the other hand, when the winning combination number that is won in the internal lottery is any other number, the determination value number corresponding to the advantageous section winning is set to 0.
Therefore, in the advantageous section transition lottery, the advantageous section is always won when the winning combination numbers of the internal lottery are 6 to 40.

Returning to FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous zone has been won after performing the advantageous zone transition lottery (S114). When the main control section 41 does not win the advantageous section (S
If NO at 114), this process ends. On the other hand, when the advantageous section is won (YES in S114), the main control unit 41 performs AT lottery (S116). In the AT lottery, the presence or absence of the AT win is determined based on the winning combination number assigned to the lottery target winning combination shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22(b), in the AT lottery, the number of judgment values used in the AT lottery is set based on the winning combination number won in the internal lottery, and the obtained random number value is If the set judgment value is matched, the direct hit AT is won, and if it is not matched, the direct hit AT is not won. Further, in the AT lottery, different judgment value numbers are set depending on whether the current setting value is 1 to 5 or the current setting value is 6. Specifically, when the current setting value is 6, the number of determination values is set such that the probability of winning the direct hit AT is higher than when the current setting value is 1 to 5. When a direct hit AT is won in the AT lottery, AT stock is given to the player.

Returning to FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a direct hit AT is won (S118).
.. When the direct hit AT is won (YES in S118), the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state from the normal to the advantageous section AT (S120).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 changes the payout state from “0” corresponding to the normal state to the advantageous section AT.
The payout flag is updated so as to be changed to "4" corresponding to. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section AT. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S120.

On the other hand, when the direct hit AT is not won (NO in S118), the main control unit 41 carries out the ED transition difference lottery (S122). In the ED transition differential lottery, the ED transition differential is determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22C, in the ED transition difference lottery, plural types of E
A different determination value number is set according to the D transition difference sheet, and when the winning combination is won in the internal lottery, any ED transition difference sheet is determined by the lottery.

Returning to FIG. 21, after the processing of S122, the main control unit 41 sets the ED transition difference sheet determined by the ED transition difference sheet lottery (S124). After that, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state from normal to the advantageous section normal (S126).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "0" corresponding to normal to "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section normal. The main control unit 41 ends this processing after the processing of S126.

[Regular processing during advantageous section]
FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the advantageous period normal process executed by the main control unit 41 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining the lottery table during the advantageous section normal according to the second embodiment. The main control unit 41 executes the during-advantageous section normal process when the start operation is performed in each game during the during-advantageous section normal.

As shown in FIG. 23, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous lottery (S152). In the advantageous lottery, whether to win the CZ, whether to win the advantageous zone bonus, and whether to win the AT are determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24A, in the advantageous lottery, the number of determination values used in the advantageous lottery is set based on the winning combination number that is won in the internal lottery, and the acquired random number value is The winning type that matches the set judgment value is determined. Further, in the advantageous lottery, different determination value numbers are set depending on whether the probability state currently under control is low probability or high accuracy. In the advantageous lottery, the number of judgment values does not differ according to the set value.

Here, if the AT lottery during normal operation shown in FIG. 22B is compared with the advantage lottery during normal advantageous section shown in FIG. 24A, the middle-tier cherries 7 are aligned (role number 37 ) And the middle-tier cherry character set (role number 38) are won in the advantageous lottery
The number of judgment values for the T win is smaller than the number of judgment values for the direct hit AT win in the AT lottery when the middle tier cherry 7 assortment (role number 37) and the middle tier cherry character assortment (role number 38) are normally won. In other words, the number of judgment values of the direct hit AT win in the AT lottery when the middle tier 7 set (role number 37) and the middle tier cherry character set (role number 38) are won during the normal period is the middle stage cherry 7 during the advantageous section normal. Matching (role number 37) and middle-tier cherry character alignment (role number 38)
) Is larger than the number of judgment values of AT winning in the advantageous lottery when winning. As described above, the AT lottery during the normal period has a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous period AT than the advantageous lottery during the advantageous period normal, and is a lottery advantageous for the player.

In addition, in the AT lottery during the normal period, the number of judgment values for the direct hit AT win when the general role corresponding to the combination numbers 1, 6 to 30 is set is set, while in the advantageous period during the advantageous lottery during the normal period In the above, the number of judgment values for AT win when the general wins corresponding to the win numbers 1, 6 to 30 are won is not set. In this way, in the AT lottery during normal operation, when the general combination corresponding to the combination numbers 1 and 6 to 30 is won, the lottery for controlling the advantageous section AT is performed, while in the advantageous section during normal operation. In the advantageous lottery, the lottery for controlling the advantageous section AT is not performed when the general combination corresponding to the combination numbers 1, 6 to 30 is won.

Further, in the AT lottery during normal operation, the lottery table differs depending on the set value, whereas in the advantageous lottery during the advantage section normal, the lottery table does not differ according to the set value.

In the advantageous lottery, the CZ stock is given to the player when the CZ is won, the advantageous zone bonus is given to the player when the advantageous zone bonus is won, and the AT stock is given to the player when the AT is won. ..

Returning to FIG. 23, the main control unit 41 performs a highly accurate transition lottery after the process of S152 (S1).
54). In the high-probability transfer lottery, the number of judgment values is set for each of low-probability and high-probability based on the winning combination number in the internal lottery, and the acquired random number value matches the set judgment value. Determined by probability state. In the high-accuracy transfer lottery, the number of judgment values does not differ depending on the set value.

In the high-accuracy transition lottery, the probability state is controlled with low accuracy when it is determined with low accuracy, and the probability state is controlled with high accuracy when determined with high accuracy.

Returning to FIG. 23, after the processing of S154, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not CZ stock has been added (S156). When the CZ stock is provided (YES in S156), the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous zone CZ (S1).
58).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "2" corresponding to the advantage section CZ. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone CZ. After the processing of S158, the main control unit 41
This process ends.

On the other hand, when the CZ stock is not added (NO in S156), the main control unit 41
Then, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section bonus is won (S160). When the advantageous section bonus is won (YES in S160), the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous section bonus (S162).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "3" corresponding to the advantage section bonus. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous zone bonus. After the processing of S162, the main control unit 41 ends this processing.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 has not won the advantageous section bonus (NO in S160)
, AT stock is added (S164). The main control unit 41
When the AT stock is provided (YES in S164), control for shifting the state to the advantageous section AT is performed (S166).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the payout flag so that the payout state is changed from "1" corresponding to the advantage section normal to "4" corresponding to the advantage section AT. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section AT.

On the other hand, when the AT stock is not given (NO in S164), the main control unit 41
Alternatively, after the processing of S166, this processing ends.

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

(1-1) Equipped with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that can be identified,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine (eg, slot machine 1) in which a prize can be generated according to the display result,
A payout state control means for controlling the payout state (for example, a process for controlling the state by the main control section 41),
A pre-determination means for determining a display result that permits derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41),
A derivation operation means (for example, the stop switch 8) operated to derive the display result.
L, 8C, 8R),
Notification means for notifying operation information (for example, navigation information) corresponding to the operation mode of the derivation operation means (for example, processing for executing navigation by the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91)
With and
The payout state includes a first payout state (for example, normal), a second payout state (for example, advantage zone normal), and a third payout state (for example, advantage zone AT).
The third payout state is designed such that the net increase obtained by subtracting the total value of the game value used for setting the bet number from the total value of the game value to be given is larger than that of the second payout state. (For example, the advantageous section AT has a higher payout rate than the normal advantageous section),
The notification means is incapable of notifying the operation information in the first payout state (for example, navigation is not normally executed), while being able to notify the operation information in the third payout state ( For example, navigation is executed in the advantageous section AT),
In both of the second payout state and the third payout state, an update value (for example, the total value of the net additional number, the number of exhausted games) updated based on the progress of the game is a specific value (for example, 2).
If the number of coins reaches 400, 1500G), the state is controlled to the first payout state (for example, the state is normally controlled by the limiter condition being satisfied in both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section AT). Be done),
In the first payout state, the update value is not updated (for example, normally, the total value of the net added number and the count of the exhausted game number are not updated),
The payout state control means,
In the second payout state, the determination result of the pre-determining means is a first determination result (for example, middle-tier cherry 7 match winning, middle-tier cherry character matching win) and a second determination result (for example, 7 match 1-piece winning, When any one of the character arrangement is won), the state is controlled to the third payout state (for example, the processing of S66, S72, S78 shown in FIG. 16),
In the first payout state, when the decision result of the pre-determining means is the first decision result, the state is controlled to the third payout state (for example, the processing of S20 and S26 shown in FIG. 14). ),
In the first payout state, when the decision result of the pre-determining means is the second decision result, the state is controlled to the second payout state while the state is controlled to the third payout state. No (for example, the process of S28 shown in FIG. 14).

Specifically, during the advantage zone normal, when the player wins the middle row cherry 7 row or middle row cherry character row based on the result of the game by the player, or when one of the 7 row one row or one character row is won. The state can be controlled in the advantageous section AT. As a result, it is possible to secure the degree of advantage during the advantageous section normal. In addition, normally, based on the result of the game by the player, the state can be controlled to the advantageous section AT when the middle tier cherry 7 or middle tier cherry character is selected. As a result, even in the normal section, the player can be expected to win the middle cherry 7 set or the middle cherry character set, as in the payout state in the advantageous section. Therefore, the interest in the game played by the player can be improved.

(1-2) The stay ratio of the game in the first payout state is smaller than the stay ratio of the game in the second payout state and the third payout state (for example, as shown in FIG. The stay rate of the game in is smaller than the stay rate of the game in the payout state in the advantageous section).

Specifically, the normal game stay ratio is smaller than the game stay ratio in the payout state during the advantageous section. Thereby, in the payout state in the advantageous section, more games than usual are played, so that the interest of the game is improved.

(1-3) The condition for the state to shift from one of the second payout state and the third payout state to the first payout state is a first condition that is established based on the progress of the game (for example, A limiter condition) and a second condition (for example, a setting change) that is satisfied when the setting of the degree of advantage for the player is changed are included.

Specifically, in the payout state in the advantageous section, the state shifts to the normal section by changing the setting in addition to the limiter condition. As a result, when the setting is changed, it is possible to provide the player with the enjoyment of the game such as shifting the state from the normal state to the payout state in the advantageous section again.

(1-4) When the state is controlled to the third payout state based on the decision result of the pre-determining means being the first decision result, control to the third payout state is performed. Suggestive suggestion game (for example, omen effect) is not performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the direct hit bonus is won by winning the middle-tier cherry 7 or middle-tier cherry character assembling in the normal section, the omen effect is not executed. ),
Suggestion game suggesting control to the third payout state when the state is controlled to the third payout state based on the decision result of the pre-determining means being the second decision result ( For example, a sign effect is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a sign effect is executed when a common bonus is won by winning one of 7 pieces or 1 piece of character in the advantageous section normal).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, when the direct hit bonus is won by winning the middle row cherry 7 row or the middle row cherry character row in the normal section, the precursor effect is not executed, while the advantageous section normal is 7 rows. When the common bonus is won by winning one piece or one character set, the precursor effect is executed. As a result, in the normal section, when the direct hit bonus is won by winning the middle-tier cherry 7 set or the middle-tier cherry character set that is a super rare role, the precursor effect is not executed immediately and the advantageous section bonus is immediately passed. Since it is controlled to the advantageous section AT, the game can be immediately advantageous.

(1-5) A plurality of the variable display sections are provided, and a prize can be generated according to a display result combination which is a combination of display results of the plurality of variable display sections (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R),
