It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the symbols can be variably displayed by moving the belt on which the symbols are arranged. Further, in the present embodiment, the variable display section is configured by a physical reel, but the variable display section may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

As shown in FIG. 1, on the front of the slot machine 1, a medal insertion section 4 into which medals can be inserted, a medal payout opening 9 from which medals are paid out, and a credit (the number of medals stored as a gaming value owned by a player). ) Is used to set the maximum bet number out of a prescribed number (3 in the present embodiment) of bets determined according to the gaming state within that range, the MAXBET switch 6, the game Start switch 7 operated when starting rotation, and stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R operated when stopping rotation of reels 2L, 2C, 2R (hereinafter, left stop switch, middle stop switch, right stop switch) ), and an effect switch 56 operated by the player at the time of effect are provided so as to be operated by the player.

In the following, the operation on the start switch 7 (for example, the operation of manually pressing the start switch 7) is a “start operation” or “start operation”, and the operation on the stop switch for stopping the rotation of the first reel ( For example, the operation of manually pressing the stop switch) is the “first stop operation”, and the operation of the stop switch for stopping the rotation of the second reel (for example, the operation of manually pressing the stop switch) is the “second stop operation”. The "stop operation" and the operation on the stop switch for stopping the rotation of the third reel (for example, the operation of manually pressing the stop switch) are also referred to as "third stop operation". The first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation are also collectively referred to as "stop operation". Further, releasing the depression (first stop operation) on the first stop switch (for example, releasing the hand from the stop switch) “releases the first stop” and pushing down the second stop switch (second stop). Operation (i.e., releasing the stop switch) is referred to as "second stop release", and pressing of the third stop switch (third stop operation) is released (i.e., stop switch). Releasing the hand) is also referred to as "third stop release".

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

As shown in FIG. 1, on the front of the slot machine 1, a credit indicator 11 for displaying the number of medals stored as credits, the number of medals paid out due to the occurrence of a prize, and the content thereof when an error occurs. A game auxiliary display 12 that displays an error code, 1BETLED14 that informs that the number of bets is set to 1 by lighting, 2BETLED15 that informs that the number of bets is set to 2 by lighting, and the number of bets is set to 3 3BET LED 16 for notifying that it is being turned on, insertion request LED 17 for notifying that a medal can be inserted by lighting, and start enable LED 18 for notifying that the start operation of the game by operating the start switch 7 is effective The gaming display unit 13 is provided with an advantageous zone LED 19 that lights up to inform that an advantageous zone to be described later is controlled, and a replaying LED 20 that lights up to inform that a replay game is in progress.

As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a main controller 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands in accordance with the progress of the game. The main controller 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects operations on the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc., and the insertion of medals into the medal insertion unit 4, and in accordance with the detected operations, the reels 2L, 2C are detected. , 2R rotation/stop, turning on/off of each LED in the game display unit 13, and the like related to the progress of the game.

Inside the slot machine 1, a sub-control unit 91 that controls an effect in response to a command from the main control unit 41 is provided. The sub control unit 91 includes a sub CPU 91a that performs various control related to the effect, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to the effect. Based on the command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 displays an image on the liquid crystal display 51, outputs sound from the speakers 53 and 54, and turns on/off the side lamp 27 and the reel backlight 28. Control. The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output of the speakers 53 and 54 is stored in the RAM 91c. Further, the sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56 and controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 in accordance with 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 winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the symbol combination on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R displayed on the see-through window 3 matches the winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, only the winning line LN set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, the middle of the reel 2R, that is, the middle is defined as the winning line. Alternatively, a plurality of pay 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, 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main controller 41. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result combination) that is permitted to be derived. 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 that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped, the winning corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

In the reel stop control, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operation are rotated within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds in the present embodiment)) from the time when the operation of each stop switch is performed. Control to stop 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 By the time the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, it is possible to pull in symbols for up to 4 frames. In other words, in the stop control, the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 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. The special role (bonus) includes a first-class special character such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), and a second-class special character such as CB (challenge bonus). In the present embodiment, CB 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 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. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode involving the addition 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 can execute a navigation for notifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous to the player when the push winning combination is won 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 the assist time (AT) which is a different notification period.

As will be described later in detail, the main control section 41 determines whether or not to control the advantageous section that is advantageous to the player when a predetermined lottery condition set in advance in the normal section is satisfied. By performing the transition lottery and winning the advantageous zone transition lottery, the control of the advantageous zone is started. During the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by controlling the AT when the push forward combination is won, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player ( For example, the operation order, the operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display device 12, and a command capable of specifying an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, thereby performing the operation. A navigation effect for informing the mode using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like is executed.

For the push order combination, a push order bell that wins a bell when the operation mode of the player matches the operation mode corresponding to the selected push order combination (hereinafter, also referred to as “correct answer procedure”), and the operation of the player A push order lip that wins a replay when the mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the selected push order combination is included. Hereinafter, the navigation that can be performed in the game in which the push order bell is won is also referred to as a bell navigation. Note that the normal section is a state in which the bell navigation cannot be executed, unlike the state in which the bell navigation can be executed like the advantageous section.

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in accordance with the correct answer procedure in accordance with the Bell Navi, the player can win the winning combination of the winning combination, which is included in the push order bell. Alternatively, the player can operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the correct answer procedure in accordance with Bell Navi to win a winning combination that is not likely to be missed out of the winning combinations included in the push order bell. In addition, among the winning combinations included in the push order bell, 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".

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the operation mode informed by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, it is possible to surely win the main character included in the pushing forward winning combination won in the internal lottery. Is becoming In the control of the advantageous zone, the advantageous zone LED 19 is turned on to notify that the advantageous zone is being controlled.

[Transition of game state]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the game state. As shown in FIG. 3, the game state controlled by the liquid crystal display 51 includes non-inside and inside.

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 the non-inside, when the CB is won and the winning of the CB is missed, the game state shifts from the next game to the inside. That is, the inside is a state in which the winning of CB is carried over. Once the gaming state is controlled inside, there is almost no chance of winning a CB that has been carried over, and even if there is, the probability is extremely low.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the CB is not shown as a game state, but if there is a chance to win the CB in the non-inside or in the inside, the game is transferred from the non-inside or inside to the CB. The state shifts. In this case, CB ends in about one game, and the game state shifts to the non-inside again.

The state in the inside includes a normal section and an advantageous section. In the normal section, Bellavi is not executed. The advantageous section is a state in which Bernavi can be executed. In the normal section, the state is controlled to the advantageous section when the advantageous section transition lottery is won.

The states in the advantageous section include CZ and AT in normal times. In the normal state, the navigation can be executed. CZ is a state in which navigation can be executed. The AT is a state in which the navigation can be executed and the navigation execution probability is higher than that of the CZ. The net increase per game that the player can obtain during AT is larger than the net increase per game that the player can obtain during CZ. In other words, the total number of net additions that the player can obtain during AT is greater than the total number of net additions that the player can obtain during CZ.

Note that the net increase 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 net increase in a predetermined state (CZ or AT) is the total number of medals paid out in a predetermined state (CZ or AT) to the total number of medals used for setting the bet number in the predetermined state (CZ or AT). It is the number deducted.

In both normal times and CZ, the medals are reduced. AT is a state where medals increase. That is, AT is in a more advantageous state for the player than CZ. The absolute value of the medal increase amount in the AT is larger than the absolute value of the medal decrease amount in the maximum period (20 G) in which the CZ can be controlled. The total number of net additions that the player can obtain in the advantageous section is larger than the total number of net additions that the player can obtain in the normal section. That is, the advantageous section is a section more advantageous to the player than the normal section.

The payout rate in CZ is less than 1, and the payout rate in AT is greater than 1. The payout rate is the same in the normal section, the normal time in the advantageous section, and the CZ in the advantageous section. Here, the payout rate is a ratio of the total number of medals to be paid out to the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets during a period of being controlled in a certain state (for example, CZ, AT, normal time).

In normal times, the state is controlled to CZ when a CZ lottery described later is won. It should be noted that in the normal state, the state may be controlled by the AT when the CZ lottery is won. CZ includes CZ1, CZ2, and CZ3. Hereinafter, CZ1 is also referred to as a morning stage, CZ2 is also referred to as a day stage, and CZ3 is also referred to as a night stage. When winning in the CZ lottery, it is determined which of the morning stage, the day stage and the night stage is controlled. As will be described later, the daytime stage is more advantageous to the player than the morning stage. The daytime stage is more advantageous for the player than CZ2.

The control to the CZ is managed by the number of games, and the CZ ends when the number of games consumed in the CZ reaches the preset upper limit number of games. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of games is 20. The CZ is not limited to the one managed by the number of games, and the number of times the navi (for example, Bell Navi) is executed or the number of wins of the bell reaches the preset upper limit number, and the payout number or the net increase number is set in advance. It may be managed based on other conditions such as reaching the upper limit number of sheets.

In addition, the state is controlled from CZ to AT based on that the release condition is satisfied in CZ (AT is won). The release conditions include a game number release condition and a rare combination release condition (chance rip release condition, watermelon release condition) described later.

The control to the AT is managed by the number of times the navigation is executed. The AT is terminated on condition that the number of times of execution of the Bernavi executed during the AT reaches the determined number of times of the Bernavi. The number of bell navigations is determined when the cancellation condition is satisfied, as described later.

The AT is not limited to the one managed by the number of times the navigation is executed, but the number of exhausting games reaches a preset upper limit number, the number of bell winnings reaches a preset upper limit number, and payout. It may be managed based on other conditions such as the number of sheets or the net increase number reaching the preset upper limit number.

During AT, the control period for the AT is extended when a win (addition win) is made by an add-on lottery described later.

When the CZ is controlled by the AT, the CZ is controlled again after the AT ends. However, this is not the case when a limiter condition, which will be described later, is satisfied or an arbitrary ending condition is satisfied. When the release condition is satisfied in the CZ (when the AT is won), the AT is controlled again. On the other hand, when the number of exhausted games reaches the upper limit number of games (20 games) without the release condition being satisfied in CZ, the state is controlled in the normal state. In this way, the state is controlled to CZ or AT from the normal time, and the state goes back and forth between CZ and AT. As described above, unless the limiter condition or any end condition is satisfied, when CZ is controlled by AT, CZ is always controlled after AT is completed, and when AT is controlled by CZ, AT is controlled after CZ is completed. Therefore, it can be said that CZ and AT are in a state in which they can be continuous with each other.

Further, when the release condition is satisfied in the CZ and the control to the AT is determined, the stage of the CZ to be controlled next time is determined at the same time. That is, which of the morning stage, the daytime stage, and the night stage is to be controlled is determined.

In CZ, the total net increase is about 0 or slightly less than 0 (for example, -20), and in AT, the total net increase is greater than 0 and about 100 medals are net increase. Is counted as Thus, the sum of net additions is designed to continue to increase as conditions switch between CZ and AT. On the other hand, in the normal time, the total net increase is about 0 or less than 0. Therefore, if the number of games staying in the normal time is larger than the number of games staying between CZ and AT, The total net increase continues to decline.

In this embodiment, the CZ or AT is directly controlled from the normal time, but when the state is controlled to the CZ or AT from the normal time, the navigation different from the CZ or AT is performed. The state may be controlled to CZ or AT from the pseudo bonus after being controlled to the executable pseudo bonus.

When the limiter condition is satisfied in the advantageous section or any end condition is satisfied, the information regarding the advantageous section is initialized and the state is controlled from the advantageous section to the normal section. The information on the advantageous section is information such as the number of exhausting games in the advantageous section.

For example, the limiter condition includes that the number of exhausting games in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined specific number (1500G), or that the net increase in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined specific number (2400). .. Further, for example, the arbitrary ending condition includes that the predetermined upper limit number of games has been exhausted without being advantageously won in the normal time.

Six winning bells 1 to 6, watermelons, and cherries are provided as small winning lottery target winning combinations. As a lottery target combination of the re-game combination, a normal rep and a chance rep 1, 2 are provided. The watermelons, cherries, and chance lips 1 and 2 have a winning probability in the internal lottery lower than that of the six-choice bell, and are also referred to as “rare roles”. Watermelons and cherries are not arranged within 5 frames on any of the reels. Therefore, depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, it is not possible to stop the composition symbol on the winning line, and the winning of the winning watermelon or cherry may be missed.

In the non-internal, all the winning combinations can be won, but in the internal, the winning of the CB has already been carried over, so only the CB cannot win.

[Reel control with push-down role]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of pushing forward combination winning. As shown in FIG. 6, the 6-option bells 1 to 6 are provided in the pushing sequence. In the game in which the 6-choice bell is won in AT, the bell navigation is executed and the correct procedure is notified to the player. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the correct answer procedure according to Bell Navi, the player can win a winning combination advantageous to the player.

For example, in a game in which one of the 6-option bells 1 to 6 is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the central bell, which is the protagonist, wins, while the stop switch 8L is in the incorrect answer procedure. , 8C, 8R are operated, the upper bell which is the subordinate wins the prize or loses the prize.

[Setting value]
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 determining the winning probability used in the internal lottery according to the set value. The set value is composed of 6 levels from 1 to 6, where 6 is the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value is in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value becomes smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage becomes gradually lower.

In order to change the set value, the administrator may operate an operation unit (not shown) provided inside the slot machine 1 to shift to a setting change state in which the set value can be changed. Further, in order to confirm the set value, the administrator may perform a predetermined operation to shift to the setting confirmation state in which the set value can be confirmed.

[Example of effects executed during CZ and AT]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect executed during CZ and AT. As described above, when the control is performed in the advantageous section, the control is first performed in the normal time. When the CZ lottery is won in the normal time, the CZ is controlled to any one of the morning stage, the day stage and the night stage.

Then, in the CZ, when the cancellation condition is satisfied (when the AT is won), the AT is controlled. After the end of AT, it will be controlled by CZ again. When the release condition is not satisfied in the CZ, the process shifts to the normal time, but as long as the release condition is satisfied in the CZ, the control to the CZ and the control to the AT are repeated.

The sub-control unit 91 can execute suggestive effects. The suggestion effect is an effect that makes a suggestion regarding control of the state. It is possible to perform AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion in the suggestion production. The AT transition suggestion suggests that the AT controls the state. In the next night stage suggestion, it is suggested that the CZ to be controlled again is the night stage.

In FIG. 7, the day stage (CZ2) is controlled, the morning stage (CZ1) is controlled by the AT after the release condition is satisfied, and the morning stage (CZ1) is controlled by the AT after the release condition is satisfied. The case of being controlled by CZ3) will be described.

As shown in FIG. 7(a1), when the daytime stage is controlled, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an animation image in which the character moves along with the background image of the sun and road in the daytime. Further, a title image including a character image "day stage" indicating that the day stage has been controlled is displayed.

Further, in the game controlled to the day stage, the number of cancellation games described later is determined. When the number of released games is determined, the number of released games is released in a game in which the number of released games has passed from the game controlled by the CZ, and the control to the CZ ends. As shown in FIG. 7(a2), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an animation image in which the character moves along with the background image of the sun and road in the day after the next game.

FIG. 7A3 shows a game in which the number of games has been released. As shown in FIG. 7(a3), when the third stop operation is performed, AT transition is suggested. Specifically, an AT transition suggestion image for suggesting AT transition is displayed. In the present embodiment, the AT is controlled by "Yumemu RUSH". As the AT transition suggestion image, an image including the character image "Yumemu RUSH confirmed", which indicates that it is controlled by Yumemu RUSH, is displayed.

When a start operation is performed to start the next game, the AT is controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7A4, an image including the title character "Yumemu RUSH Inrush" indicating that the AT has been controlled is displayed.

Here, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 includes a first display area and a second display area that is wider than the first display area. As shown in FIG. 18(a0), an AT transition suggestion image for suggesting AT transition is displayed in the second display area. Further, the next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage is displayed in the first display area.

When a start operation is performed to start the next game, an animation image in which a girl character moves along with two stars is displayed on the screen. At the upper left of the screen, a character image “0/10” is displayed, which indicates that the number of bell navigations given is 10 (10 navigations) and the number of executed bell navigations is 0. Also, by the start operation, the 6-option bell, which is the pusher, is elected, and the bell navigation is executed. In the present example, an image prompting the right reel to first stop, the left reel to second stop, and the middle reel to third stop is displayed by the bell navigation.

After that, when all the given number of Bernavi are exhausted (in this example, when 10 times of Bernavi are executed), as shown in FIG. 7(a6), a result notification for notifying the result of the game during AT is issued. Done. As a result notification, a count image indicating the total payout amount of medals during AT is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this example, a result image including the character image “TOTAL 100” indicating that the total payout number of medals in AT is 100 is displayed.

When a start operation is performed in this state, a stage lottery effect is executed as shown in FIG. 7(a7). The stage lottery effect is an effect indicating that which stage is to be controlled next time is selected by lottery. However, as will be described later, in the CZ that was actually controlled before being controlled by the AT, the stage to be controlled is determined in advance. When the stage lottery effect starts, an image including the title character image “stage lottery” of the stage lottery effect is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7(a8), when the first stop operation is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays options for three stages such as a morning stage, a day stage, and a night stage. Although not shown, when the second stop operation is performed, the options in the three probability modes rotate like a roulette, and the options located on the front side are switched in order. When the third stop operation is performed, the morning stage is finally selected from the three stages, and only the character image of “morning stage” remains and is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the start operation is performed, the AT ends and the morning stage (CZ1) is controlled. At this time, the background image of the morning sun, the sea, and the ship is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as shown in FIG. Further, a title image including the title character "morning stage" indicating that the morning stage is controlled is displayed.

After that, it is assumed that the watermelon is won after a plurality of games have passed. Then, it is assumed that the AT is won by the AT lottery. As will be described later, when the watermelon is released by winning the watermelon, the CZ to be controlled next time is always the night stage.

FIG. 7(a10) shows a game in which the watermelon is released. As shown in FIG. 7(a10), AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are performed. Regarding AT suggestion, the same display as that shown in FIG. 7A3 is performed. In the next night stage suggestion, a next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage suggestion is displayed. An image including the character image "night stage" indicating that the CZ to be controlled next time is the night stage is displayed as the next night stage suggesting image. The next night stage suggestion image is displayed in the first display area.

When a start operation is performed to start the next game, the AT is controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7(a11), an image including the title character "Yumemu RUSH Inrush" indicating that the AT has been controlled is displayed.

After that, an animation image in which the girl character moves is displayed together with the two stars. At the upper left of the screen, a character image “0/10” is displayed, which indicates that the number of bell navigations given is 10 (10 navigations) and the number of executed bell navigations is 0. Also, by the start operation, the 6-option bell, which is the pusher, is elected, and the bell navigation is executed. Further, during AT, the next night stage suggestion image is always displayed.

After that, when all the given number of Bernavi are exhausted (in this example, 10 times of Bernavi are executed), as shown in FIG. 7(a13), a result alert for notifying the result of the game during AT is issued. Done. At this time as well, the display of the next night stage suggestive image continues.

When a start operation is performed in this state, a stage lottery effect is executed as shown in FIG. 7(a14). At this time as well, the display of the next night stage suggestive image continues.

As shown in FIG. 7(a15), when the first stop operation is performed, the options of three stages such as the morning stage, the day stage, and the night stage are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the next night stage suggestion ends, and the display of the next night stage suggestion image ends.

Thus, as shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to (a14), when a watermelon (or chance lip) is won in the night stage, AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are performed, and next night stage suggestion is performed. To the timing associated with AT termination. In the present embodiment, the timing related to the end of AT is the display end timing of the stage lottery title (FIG. 7(a14)).

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to 7(a14), the stage lottery title is displayed after the watermelon (or chance lip) is won in the night stage and the next night stage suggestion image is displayed in the first display area. Until the display end timing, the display of the AT transition suggestion image ends in the second display area, but the display of the next night stage suggestion image in the first display area continues. However, the display of the stage suggestive image will not continue the next night when an error occurs, an electric power failure occurs, or while the demo screen is displayed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7(a11) to (a14), the next night stage suggestion is performed during AT.

As shown in FIG. (a16), when the third stop operation is performed, the night stage is finally selected from the three stages, and only the character image of “night stage” remains on the liquid crystal display 51. Is displayed. Then, the next night stage suggestion image is displayed large in the second display area.

When the start operation is performed, the AT ends and the night stage (CZ3) is controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7(a17), an animation image in which the character moves is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the background images of the moon and mountains. Further, a title image including the title character "night stage" indicating that the night stage is controlled is displayed.

After that, it is assumed that after a lapse of a plurality of games, the chance rep 1 is won. Then, it is assumed that the AT is won by the AT lottery. As will be described later, when the chance lip wins, it always wins the AT. When the chance lip is won in the night stage, the CZ to be controlled next time is always the night stage.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 7A14 to 7A17, after the display of the next night stage suggestion image displayed in the first display area is finished at the end timing of the stage lottery title display, the second The next night stage suggestive image is displayed in the display area, and then controlled to CZ.

FIG. 7 (a18) shows a game in which the chance-reply is canceled by the chance-reply winning. As shown in FIG. 7 (a18), AT transition is suggested at the timing when the chance lip 1 symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation. The AT transition suggestion is displayed in the same manner as that shown in FIG. 7(a3). In this case, the next night stage is suggested, but details will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Various tables]
Various tables used in this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13. Various tables used in the present embodiment include a CZ lottery table in a normal time, a release game number determination table, an AT lottery table during CZ, a next CZ stage lottery table, a bell navigation number determination table by releasing the number of games, and a rare role release. Includes a Bell Navi frequency determination table according to the above and an additional lottery table during AT.

(Normal CZ lottery table)
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the CZ lottery table at the normal time. As shown in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 executes the CZ lottery at normal time to determine whether or not to control the CZ based on the lottery. The lottery conditions in the normal CZ lottery include chance chance (chance lip 1, chance lip 2) win, watermelon win and cherry win. When the CZ is won, it is determined which CZ of the morning stage (CZ1), the day stage (CZ2) and the night stage (CZ3) is controlled.

In the normal CZ lottery, the presence or absence of the CZ winning is determined with different probabilities according to the CZ lottery conditions. Specifically, when the chance lip wins, the probability of winning the CZ is higher than when the watermelon or cherry wins. When the chance lip is won, the probability of being controlled by the night stage is higher than when the watermelon or cherry is won. Further, in the present embodiment, the CZ is always controlled when the chance lip is won. Also, when winning the watermelon or cherry, the stage is always controlled at night.

When the release condition is satisfied in the CZ (when the AT is won), the state is controlled from the CZ to the AT. The release condition includes a game number release condition and a rare role release condition (chance rip release condition, watermelon release condition). This will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

(Release game number determination table)
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the cancellation game number determination table. As shown in FIG. 9, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT is won and the number of released games by lottery at a timing related to the start timing of the CZ, using the released game number determination table. In the present embodiment, the timing related to the CZ start timing is when the CZ shifts. For example, when a start operation is performed in a CZ-controlled game, the presence or absence of AT winning and the number of released games may be determined.

The presence or absence of AT winning and the number of released games are determined with different probabilities depending on the currently controlled stage (morning stage, day stage, night stage). When the AT winning is determined by the release game number determination table, any one game from 1 game (also referred to as “G”) to 20 games is determined as the release game number. Then, when the number of released games has passed after being controlled by the CZ, the CZ ends, and the AT next to the game after the CZ ends is controlled by the AT.

The termination of the CZ after the AT winning is determined and the number of released games has elapsed is called “release of number of games”. Further, when the AT winning is determined by the lottery using the cancellation game number determination table, the game number cancellation condition is satisfied. That is, the game number cancellation condition can be satisfied at the time of CZ transition.

On the other hand, when AT non-win is determined by the cancellation game number determination table, 20G is determined as the cancellation game number. Then, when 20 games have passed since the control by the CZ, the CZ ends, and the normal control is performed from the game next to the game in which the CZ ends. That is, the CZ can be controlled up to 20G.

The AT winning probability is 30% when the currently controlled stage is the morning stage and 60% when the currently controlled stage is the day stage, which is currently controlled. 100% if the stage is a night stage. That is, when the currently controlled stage is the daytime stage, the probability of winning the AT (the probability of releasing the number of games) is higher than when the currently controlled stage is the morning stage. When the currently controlled stage is the night stage, the probability of winning the AT (the probability of releasing the number of games) is higher than when the currently controlled stage is the day stage.

As described above, when the currently controlled stage is the night stage, there is a 100% chance of winning the AT. That is, when the CZ is controlled at the night stage, in the lottery using the cancellation game number determination table performed at the time of the CZ transition, there is a 100% probability that the player wins the AT, and the game number is canceled at the determined cancellation game number. When the CZ is ended, the game is controlled by the AT from the next game in which the CZ is ended.

Then, when the release condition is satisfied in CZ, the state is controlled from CZ to AT, and the state is controlled again from AT to CZ after the end of AT. When the CZ to be controlled again is a night stage that is more advantageous to the player than the morning stage or the day stage, at the end of the CZ, the AT transition suggestion is made and the next night stage suggestion is made.

(AT lottery table during CZ and next CZ stage lottery table)
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the AT lottery table in the CZ and the next CZ stage lottery table. FIG. 10A shows an AT lottery table during CZ, and FIG. 10B shows a next CZ stage lottery table.

As shown in FIG. 10A, in each game in the CZ, the main control unit 41 uses the AT lottery table in the CZ to determine whether to win the AT by lottery. Whether or not an AT is won depends on the AT lottery conditions. The AT lottery conditions include a chance lip win and a watermelon win. Hereinafter, the AT lottery conditions in the AT lottery table in the CZ will also be referred to as “specific conditions”.

When the AT winning is determined by the AT lottery table during CZ (when the rare role releasing condition is satisfied), and when there is no precursor period described later, the CZ ends in the game in which the rare role releasing condition is satisfied, and the CZ is The AT controls the game next to the finished game. If there is a precursory period, the CZ ends in the game following the game in which the precursory period ends, and the AT is controlled from the game next to the game in which the CZ ends.

In this way, the AT winning is determined using the AT lottery table in the CZ, and the termination of the CZ based on the AT winning is called “rare role release”. Of the rare role cancellations, the termination of the CZ based on the chance rip winning is called “chance ripping cancellation”, and the termination of the CZ based on the watermelon winning is called “watermelon cancellation”. Further, when the AT winning is determined by the lottery using the AT lottery table in the CZ, the rare hand release condition is satisfied. The chance lip cancellation condition is met when the chance lip is won. The watermelon cancellation condition is met when the watermelon is elected. As described above, the rare combination releasing condition can be satisfied when the chance lip or the watermelon is won during the CZ.

On the other hand, when the AT non-winning is determined by the AT lottery table in the CZ, the rare combination is not canceled. In this case, AT lottery during CZ is performed in each game up to the number of released games determined by the number-of-released games determination table. When the AT winning is decided in the AT lottery, the rare role is released.

When the chance lip is won in the CZ, the probability of winning the AT (the probability of releasing the rare role) is higher than when the watermelon is won in the CZ. If Chance Lip wins, there is a 100% chance of winning an AT (rare role cancellation).

Next, the next CZ stage lottery table will be described. As shown in FIG. 10B, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by the lottery using the tables of FIGS. 9 and 10A, the main controller 41 uses the next CZ stage lottery table to perform the next CZ by lottery. The stage (also referred to as the "next stage") to be controlled when it is controlled again is determined.

The next stage is determined with different probabilities depending on the release condition (release of the number of games, release of chance replay, release of watermelon) and the currently controlled stage (morning stage, day stage, night stage). For example, if the next stage is determined to be the night stage by releasing the chance rep, the stage when the CZ ends in the game, the AT is controlled by the next game, and the AT ends and the CZ is controlled again It will be a night stage.

Further, when the chance lip release is performed in the night stage, the probability that the next stage will be the night stage is higher than when the chance lip release is performed in the morning stage or the day stage. When the watermelon is released on any stage (morning stage, daytime stage, or night stage), the probability that the next stage will be the night stage is higher than when the chance lip release is performed on the morning stage or daytime stage. high.

When the chance lip release is performed on the night stage, the probability that the next stage will be the night stage is higher than when the number of games is released on any stage. When the watermelon is released on any stage, the probability that the next stage will be the night stage is higher than when the number of games is released on any stage.

If the chance release is canceled on the night stage, there is a 100% chance that the next stage will be the night stage. If the watermelon is released on any stage, there is a 100% chance that the next stage will be the night stage.

As described above, in any of the morning stage, the daytime stage, and the night stage, the AT can be controlled based on the establishment of the specific condition (the AT chance lottery condition or the chance to win the watermelon). Also, in the night stage, since there is a 100% probability that AT will be won in the lottery based on the release game number determination table, it is confirmed that the AT is controlled even if the specific condition is not satisfied (chance rip win or watermelon win). It can be said that it is in a state of being.

On the other hand, in the morning stage or the daytime stage, since the AT may not be won in the lottery based on the number-of-releases game determination table, the AT cannot be controlled without the specific condition being satisfied (chance rip winning or watermelon winning). Absent. Further, as described above, when the AT is controlled in the night stage based on the winning of chance lip or the watermelon, the night stage is controlled after the AT ends (the next stage becomes the night stage).

(Bernavi frequency determination table by releasing the number of games)
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a Bell navigation number determination table by releasing the number of games. FIG. 11A is a Bell Navi number determination table by releasing the number of games when the currently set value is any one of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (setting 1 to 5). FIG. 11B is a Bell navigation number determination table by releasing the number of games when the currently set value is 6 (setting 6).

As shown in FIG. 11A, when the current settings 1 to 5 are set, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by the lottery using the cancellation game number determination table of FIG. The number of Bell navigations to be given is determined using the Bell navigation number determination table (settings 1 to 5). The number of bernavis is the number of bernavis executed in the AT when the AT is controlled by the AT winning.

The number of Bell navigations is determined with different probabilities depending on the number of release games (1G to 20G) determined by lottery using the release game number determination table. The number of bell navigations is determined to be 10 navigation, 20 navigation, or 50 navigation. In the order of 50-navi, 20-navi, and 10-navi, the advantage in AT becomes higher. For example, if the number of releasing games is 3G, the number of Bell navigations is determined to be 10 (also referred to as “10 navigation”) with 90% probability, 20 navigation with 9% probability, and 50% with 1% probability. Determined by navigation.

Here, in the present embodiment, the period in CZ is divided into a first period and a second period after the first period. The 1st period is 1G-10G in CZ. The second period is the 11th to 20th G in the CZ.

In CZ, the game number release condition is satisfied in the second period (11G to 20G) more than when the AT is controlled based on the game number release condition being satisfied in the first period (1G to 10G). At a higher rate, the advantage at the AT is higher when the state is controlled by the AT. The fact that the advantage in AT is high means, specifically, that the number of bell navigations given is large as shown in FIG.

For example, when the number of released games is 3G, the number of games is released in the first period, 3G, and the AT is controlled. The number of Bell navigations given in the AT is determined to be 90 navigations with a 90% probability, 20 navigations with a 9% probability, and 50 navigations with a 1% probability. Further, for example, when the number of released games is 17 G, the number of released games is released in the 17th period, which is the second period, and the AT is controlled. The number of Bell navigations given in the AT is determined to be 50 navigations with a probability of 50%, 20 navigations with a probability of 30%, and 20 navigations with a probability of 50%.

When the number of games is released in the first period, 3G, and controlled by the AT, the number of games is released in 17th period, which is 1%, while the number is determined to be 50 navigation. When the control is performed by the AT and the AT is controlled, there is a 20% probability that the navigation will be set to 50 navigation. That is, the number of games released in the second period has a higher probability of being given 50 navigations, which has the highest advantage for the player, than the number of games released in the first period.

In the table of FIG. 11A, the probability that 50 navigations are determined increases in the order of the number of release games from 16 to 20G, 11 to 15G, 6 to 10G, and 1 to 5G. The same applies to 20-navi. That is, the larger the number of releasing games, the higher the probability that 20-navigation, which has a higher degree of advantage than 10-navigation, will be selected, and the higher the probability that 50-navigation, which has a higher degree of advantage than 20-navigation, will be selected.

As shown in FIG. 11B, when the current setting is set to 6, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by lottery using the cancellation game number determination table of FIG. The determination table (setting 6) is used to determine the number of Bell navigations to be given.

Similar to FIG. 11A, the number of Bell navigations is determined with different probabilities according to the number of release games (1G to 20G) determined by lottery using the release game number determination table. The number of bell navigations is determined to be one of 10 navigations, 15 navigations, 20 navigations, and 50 navigations.

Also in the case of using this table, similarly to FIG. 11A, in CZ, the number-of-games cancellation condition in the second period is longer than that in the case of being controlled by AT based on the satisfaction of the number-of-games cancellation condition in the first period. When the state is controlled by the AT based on the establishment of, the advantage in the AT is higher (the number of bell navigations given is greater).

The difference from the table in FIG. 11A is that 15 navigations can be determined. That is, at present, only when the payout rate is set to the highest setting 6, 15 navigations can be determined as the number of Bell navigations. Therefore, when the number of Bell Navi times is 15 during AT, it is suggested that the currently set installation value is 6 (setting 6). Details of the suggestion will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

Further, when comparing the table of FIG. 11A and the table of FIG. 11B, when the current setting 6 is set, it is more advantageous than when the current settings 1 to 5 are set. It is configured such that the determination probability of high 20 navigation or 50 navigation is high. That is, when the current setting 6 is set, the number of bell navigations executed during AT increases, and thus the payout rate becomes higher than when the current settings 1 to 5 are set.

(Bernavi frequency decision table by releasing rare role)
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a Bell-navi frequency determination table by releasing a rare combination. FIG. 12A is a bell navigation number determination table by rare role release (chance rip release, watermelon release) when the currently set values are settings 1 to 5. FIG. 11B is a Bell-navi frequency determination table by releasing a rare combination when the currently set value is setting 6.

As shown in FIG. 12A, when currently set to 1 to 5, when the main control unit 41 wins an AT by a lottery using the AT table in CZ of FIG. The number of Bell navigations to be given is determined using the Bell navigation number determination table (settings 1 to 5).

The number of bernavis is determined with different probabilities according to the number of bernavis already determined by releasing the number of games. Here, when the number-of-games cancellation condition is satisfied (in the case of AT winning), the number of Bell-navs already determined is the number of Bell-navi determined by lottery using the Bell-navi count determination table (settings 1 to 5) for releasing the number of games. (10 navigation, 20 navigation, 50 navigation) is used. When the number-of-games cancellation condition is not satisfied (when AT is not won), the number of Bell navigation already determined is 0.

When the condition for releasing the number of games is satisfied at the time of shifting to CZ, the number of bell navigations among 10 navigation, 20 navigation, and 50 navigation is determined. However, after that, if the condition for canceling the rare character is further satisfied, the number of times of Bernavi will be determined again.

Here, in the CZ, the advantage of the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the rare role release condition in the first period is equal to or more than the advantage of the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number release condition in the second period. (The number of Bell navigations to be given is equal to or more than that). The details will be described below.

In the Bell Navi determination table (settings 1 to 5) by releasing the number of games in FIG. 11A, when the number of games is released in the second period of 16 to 20 G, there is a 50% probability of 10 navigation, There is a 30% probability of 20 navigation and a 20% probability of 50 navigation.

On the other hand, in the bell navigation determination table (settings 1 to 5) by releasing the rare combination in FIG. 12A, if the number of bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 0 navigation or 10 navigation, 50 There is a probability of 10 navi, a probability of 30% is 20 navi, and a probability of 20% is 50 navi. That is, while the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 0 or 10 navigations, the number of Bell navigations of 10 navigations, 20 navigations, or 50 navigations equal to or greater than that is determined. Become.

Similarly, when the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 20 navigations, the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the rare combination is 20 navigations or 50 navigations equal to or more than the same. When the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 50, the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the rare combination is determined to be equal to or greater than 50 navigations.

As shown in FIG. 12B, when the current setting is 6, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by the lottery using the AT table in the CZ of FIG. The determination table (setting 6) is used to determine the number of Bell navigations to be given.

Even if the current setting is set to 6, the AT controlled in the CZ based on the establishment of the rare hand release condition in the first period as in the case of the current settings 1 to 5 is set. In the second period, the degree of advantage is equal to or higher than the degree of advantage in the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the number-of-games cancellation condition (the number of Bell navigations to be given is equal to or higher).

(Additional lottery table in AT)
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the additional lottery table in AT. The main control unit 41 performs additional lottery during AT. The additional lottery is executed when the additional lottery conditions are satisfied. The additional lottery conditions are met when a rare role (cherry, watermelon, chance rep 1, chance rep 2) is won during AT. The additional lottery determines whether or not the additional win is possible.

When the player wins in addition, a predetermined number of bell navigations (for example, 5 navigations or 10 navigations) is given. As a result, the number of bernavis by winning is added to the number of bernavis already given. For example, if the number of bell navigations given by the satisfaction of the cancellation condition during CZ is 20 and the number of bell navigations due to the additional winning in AT is 10, the total number of bell navigations is 30. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of types of Bell-navig numbers to be given at the time of winning the additional prize, and to determine one by lottery.

When the current set values are the settings 1 to 5, as shown in FIG. 13A, the main control unit 41 uses the addition lottery table (settings 1 to 5) in the AT to meet the addition lottery conditions. Whether or not to win the AT is decided with different probabilities.

Further, when the current setting value is the setting 6, as shown in FIG. 13B, the main control unit 41 uses the additional lottery table (setting 6) in the AT and varies depending on the additional lottery condition. The probability of AT winning is determined by probability. When the current set value is the setting 6, the additional winning is performed with a high probability so that the advantage is higher than when the current set value is the settings 1 to 5.

[AT transition suggestion when various release conditions are satisfied during CZ]
As described above, AT transition suggestion indicating that the CZ is controlled by the AT is performed based on the establishment of the game number release condition or the rare combination release condition (chance rip release condition, watermelon release condition).

When the release condition is satisfied during the CZ, the sub control unit 91 selects any one of a plurality of predetermined precursory periods by lottery. The aura period is a period during which the aura production is performed. The omen effect is an effect that suggests that the AT transition is suggested during the omen period that precedes the game in which the number of games is released or the rare role is released and AT transition is suggested.

In the present embodiment, a chance image including the character image “Chance!” is displayed on liquid crystal display 51 as a precursor effect. This suggests that AT transition is suggested after the precursory period.

The precursory period includes a first predictive period and a second predictive period having a shorter period than the first predictive period. After the selected precursory period elapses, the AT control suggests that the AT is controlled, and then the AT is controlled. When the AT is controlled in the second period, the ratio of selecting the second precursory period of the first precursory period and the second precursory period is higher than that in the case of being controlled by the AT in the first period.

In the present embodiment, the first precursory period is 3G. Further, the second precursory period is 0G. That is, when the second precursory period (0G) is selected, there is no precursory period. In this case, the precursor effect is not executed. Then, AT transition is suggested in the game in which the release condition is satisfied. It is also called "immediate notification" that the AT transition is suggested without the omen effect.

When the first omen period (3G) is selected, the omen effect is executed over three games. Specifically, in each game of the aura game, the aura effect image is displayed. For example, the sign effect image may be displayed for a predetermined time when the operation of starting each game is performed.

When the number-of-games cancellation condition is satisfied, the first omen period (3G) or the second omen period (0G) is selected as the omen period by lottery. When the number-of-games cancellation condition is satisfied, when the number-of-games release is performed and controlled by the AT in the second period, the number of games is less than that by the number-of-games release and controlled by the AT in the first period. The lottery is performed so that the proportion of the second precursory period (0G) selected from the first precursory period and the second precursory period is high.

On the other hand, when the chance-lip cancellation condition is satisfied, the period until the AT transition is suggested is shorter than when the watermelon cancellation condition is satisfied. Specifically, the shortening of the precursory period shortens the period until the AT transition is suggested.

In the present embodiment, when the chance-rip cancellation condition is satisfied by the chance-lip winning, the second precursory period (0G) is selected as the precursory period. Further, when the watermelon cancellation condition is satisfied by winning the watermelon, the first omen period (3G) is selected as the omen period.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in each of the four sections of 1G to 5G, 6G to 10G, 11G to 15G, 16G to 20G, there is a probability of about 50% in each section. To generate. This is a precursor effect that occurs regardless of the establishment of the cancellation condition, and is a precursor effect of gase that is not controlled by the AT. Therefore, even if the precursor effect is finished, the AT transition is not suggested. Moreover, when the precursor effect is not generated from the 16th to 20th eyes, the precursor effect is always generated once in the 16th to 20th eyes.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining an AT transition suggestion when various cancellation conditions are satisfied during CZ. As shown in FIG. 14, the CZ is controlled by a maximum of 20 G, and in the period in the CZ, the 1 G to 10 G are the first period, and the 11 G to 20 G in the CZ are the second period. Hereinafter, in the CZ, a case where the cancellation condition is satisfied and the AT transition is suggested in the first period, and a case where the cancellation condition is satisfied and the AT transition is suggested in the second period will be described.

FIGS. 14(a1) and 14(a2) show the case where the chance lip cancellation is performed in the first period, and FIGS. 14(b1) to (b3) show the case where the watermelon cancellation is performed in the first period. 14(e1) to (e3) in FIG. 14(d1) and FIG. 14(d2) in FIG. 14(e1) to (e3) when the number of games is canceled in the first period. 14 illustrates a case where the watermelon cancellation is performed in the second period, and FIGS. 14F1 and 14F2 illustrate a case where the game number cancellation is performed in the second period.

As shown in FIG. 14(a1), in the first period, when the chance lip is won by the start operation and the chance lip release is performed, the second omen period (0G) is selected as the omen period. As shown in FIG. 14(a2), immediate notification is given in the game. Specifically, when a start operation is performed in the game, a chance image indicating that AT transition is suggested is displayed. When the third stop operation is performed, the AT transition suggestion image is displayed, so that the AT transition suggestion is performed.

As shown in FIG. 14(b1), in the first period, when the watermelon is elected by the start operation and the watermelon is released, the first precursory period (3G) is selected as the precursory period. In this case, the precursor effect for displaying the chance image is executed over three games including the game. Then, when the precursor effect is finished, AT transition is suggested in the next game.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14B2, when a start operation is performed, a chance image indicating that AT transition suggestion is performed is displayed. When the third stop operation is performed, the AT transition suggestion image is displayed, so that the AT transition suggestion is performed.

When the game number release condition is satisfied at the time of CZ transition and it is determined that the game number release will be performed in the first period, the omen period is determined by lottery. In this case, the probability that the first precursory period (3G) is selected is higher than that of the second predictive period (0G).

In the case of releasing the number of games, the precursor effect is started to be executed from a game that is a warning period earlier than the determined number of released games. For example, when the number of games is scheduled to be released in the 7th G and 3G is selected as the precursory period, the 4Gth to 6Gths are the precursory period, and the AT transition is suggested in the 7G.

However, when it is planned to release the number of games in the 1st G, a warning effect is not given and an immediate notice is given. In addition, when it is planned to release the number of games in the 1G to 4G, the precursor effect is started from the 1G and the number of released games is notified.

In this example, it is assumed that the game number release condition is satisfied, the game number release is performed on the 7th G, and 3G is determined as the precursor period. As shown in FIG. 14(c1), the indication effect is executed from the 4th G, which is 3G before the 7G. When the precursor effect for 3 games is executed, AT transition is suggested in the 7th game. Similar to FIGS. 14(a1) and 14(a2), when the start operation is performed, the chance image is displayed (FIG. 14(c2)), and when the third stop operation is performed, AT transition suggestion is performed (FIG. 14( c3)).

When the chance reply release is performed in the second period (FIGS. 14(d1) and (d2)), it is the same as when the chance reply release is performed in the first period (FIGS. 14(a1) and (a2)). Announcement is made. Since the contents of the effect are the same, the explanation is omitted.

When watermelon cancellation is performed in the second period (Figs. 14(e1) to (e3)), the same as when watermelon cancellation is performed in the first period (Figs. 14(b1) to (b3)) extends over 3G. AT transition suggestion is performed after the precursor effect is performed. Since the contents of the effect are the same, the explanation is omitted.

When the game number release condition is satisfied at the time of CZ transition and it is determined that the game number release will be performed in the second period, the omen period is determined by lottery. In this case, the probability that the second precursory period (0G) is selected is higher than that of the first predictive period (3G).

In this example, it is assumed that the game number release condition is satisfied, the game number release is performed at the 7th G, and 0G is determined as the precursor period. In this case, prompt notification is given on the 7th G. Similar to FIGS. 14(a1) and 14(a2), the chance image is displayed when the start operation is performed on the 7th G (FIG. 14(f1)), and AT transition is suggested when the third stop operation is performed ( FIG. 14(f2)).

[Direction when Chance Rep 1 wins and 6-choice Bell wins during CZ]
When the chance lip 1 is won, the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination "bell-bell-replay" can be derived. When the 6-option bell is won, it is possible to derive a middle-stage bell winning symbol combination “bell-bell-bell” in which the winning symbol on the left reel is different from the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination.

That is, when the chance lip 1 or 6-choice bell is won, for example, when the left stop switch is first stopped, the bell symbol is led to the left reel. Further, when the middle stop switch is operated by the second stop, the bell symbol is led to the middle reel. Therefore, at the time when the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed, it is not possible to determine whether the chance lip 1 has won or the 6-option bell has won.

Then, when the chance lip 1 is won, if the right stop switch is operated to the third stop, the replay can be derived to the right reel, and in this case, the chance lip prize is generated. On the other hand, when the 6-option bell is won, when the right stop switch is operated for the third stop, the bell can be led out to the right reel, so that the middle bell is won. In this way, when the third stop operation is performed, it is possible to determine whether the chance lip 1 has won or the 6-option bell has won.

Here, the above-mentioned specific condition (the chance lot win or the watermelon win which is the AT lottery condition) is satisfied when the chance lip 1 is won. On the other hand, the specific condition does not hold when the 6-option bell is won. Therefore, when the chance lip 1 or the 6-option bell is won, whether or not the AT is won is known at the time of performing the third stop operation.

Under such circumstances, when the chance lip 1 is won, AT transition is suggested at the timing when the symbol is derived to the right reel in which the winning symbols are different between the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination and the middle bell winning symbol combination.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect at the time of winning the chance lip 1 and winning the 6-option bell during CZ. As shown in FIG. 15(a1), it is assumed that the night stage is currently being controlled.

It is assumed that Chance Rep 1 or 6-choice bell is won by the internal lottery when the start operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 15(a2), the reel is started to rotate by the start operation, and a chance display is displayed to indicate that AT transition is suggested. The types of chance display include a chance display 1 for displaying an image including the character image “chance?” and a chance display 2 for displaying an image including the character image “chance!”.

Which of the chance display 1 and the chance display 2 is displayed is determined by the sub-control unit 91 at the start operation. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the chance type determination table. As shown in FIG. 16, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not to execute a chance display and the type of the chance display based on a lottery.

In the lottery performed in the chance type determination table, the presence/absence of opportunity display and the type of chance display are determined with different probabilities according to the lottery conditions. The lottery conditions include winning of group 1 and winning of group 2. Group 1 includes 6-choice bell and watermelon. Group 2 includes chance lip 1 and chance lip 1.

When the group 2 wins, the chance display 2 (display by "chance!") is performed with a higher probability than when the group 1 wins. Specifically, when the chance rep 1 or the chance rep 2 is won, the display of “chance!” is performed with a higher probability than when the 6-option bell or the watermelon is won. This suggests that when the chance display 2 (displayed by “chance!”) is performed, the chances of winning the chance lip (chance lip 1, chance lip 2) are high.

Returning to FIG. 15(a2), since chance display 2 (display by "chance!") is currently being performed, it is suggested that the chance expectation that chance lip 1 has won is high.

When the first stop operation of the left stop switch is performed, a bell symbol is drawn to the left reel as shown in FIG. 15(a3). At this time, the display of the chance display 2 continues. When the second stop operation of the middle stop switch is performed, a bell symbol is drawn out to the middle reel, as shown in FIG. 15(a4). At this time, the display of the chance display 2 continues.

When the chance lip 1 is won, when the third stop operation is performed on the right stop switch, the replay symbol is derived to the right reel as shown in FIG. 15(a5). As a result, Chance Rep 1 wins. The AT is won by the chance rip winning (the chance rip is canceled), and the AT transition is suggested.

On the other hand, when the 6-option bell is won, the third stop operation of the right stop switch brings out the bell symbol on the right reel as shown in FIG. 15(a6). As a result, the middle bell wins. Since no AT win will be won by the middle-stage bell win, no AT transition suggestion will be made.

[During Chance Rep 2 win and watermelon win during CZ]
When the chance lip 2 is won, the chance lip 2 winning symbol combination “bell-watermelon-watermelon” can be derived. When the watermelon is won, it is possible to derive a watermelon winning symbol combination “bell-watermelon-white 7” having different winning symbols on the left reel among the chance lip 2 winning symbol combinations. In addition, when a watermelon wins, watermelon symbols are aligned on the invalid line.

That is, when the chance lip 2 or the watermelon is won, for example, when the left stop switch is first stopped and the middle stop switch is secondly stopped, the same symbol is derived for the left reel and the middle reel. , It is impossible to determine whether Chance Lip 2 is winning or Watermelon is winning. However, when the right stop switch is operated for the third stop, it is possible to determine which one is winning.

Therefore, for the same reason as described using FIG. 16, when the chance rep 2 or watermelon is won, the timing at which the symbol is derived to the right reel in which the winning symbols are different between the chance rep 2 winning symbol combination and the watermelon winning symbol combination. Then, an AT transition suggestion is made.

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining an example of effects at the time of winning the chance lip 2 and winning the watermelon during the CZ. As shown in FIG. 17(a1), it is assumed that the night stage is currently being controlled.

It is assumed that Chance Lip 2 or watermelon is won by the internal lottery when the start operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 17(a2), the reel is started to rotate by the start operation, and a chance display indicating that AT transition is suggested is displayed. As a chance display, chance display 1 (display by "chance?") is performed. Therefore, it is suggested that the expectation that the chance lip 1 is won is not high.

When the first stop operation of the left stop switch is performed, a bell symbol is drawn to the left reel as shown in FIG. 17(a3). At this time, the display of the chance display 1 continues. When the second stop operation of the middle stop switch is performed, as shown in FIG. 17(a4), the watermelon symbol is led to the middle reel. At this time, the display of the chance display 1 continues.

When the chance lip 2 is won, the third stop operation of the right stop switch brings out the watermelon symbol on the right reel as shown in FIG. 17(a5). As a result, Chance Lip 2 wins. The AT is elected based on the chance lip winning (the chance lip is canceled), and the AT transition is suggested.

On the other hand, when the watermelon is elected, when the third stop operation is performed on the right stop switch, the white 7 symbol is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 17(a6). As a result, the watermelon wins. In this example, the AT wins based on the watermelon win, but in the case of the watermelon win, the AT transition suggestion is not performed in the game, and the AT transition suggestion is executed after the precursor effect (see FIG. 18 (c1) to (. See c4)).

[Timing for AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion]
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the execution timing of the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion. As described above, the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion can be executed based on the establishment of the cancellation condition. Hereinafter, the timing of the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion based on each cancellation condition will be described.

As shown in FIG. 18(a0), the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 includes a first display area and a second display area wider than the first display area. The AT transition suggestion image for suggesting the AT transition is displayed in the second display area. The next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage is displayed in the first display area.

The release conditions include a chance-rip release condition, a number-of-games release condition, and a watermelon release condition. The suggestion patterns are a chance-lip release pattern (FIGS. 18(a1) to (a5)) in which the next night stage suggestion is started after the AT transition suggestion is started, and the AT transition suggestion is started after the next night stage suggestion is started. The game number release pattern (FIGS. 18(b1) to (b5)) to be played and the watermelon release pattern (FIGS. 18(c1) to (c4)) that simultaneously start AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are included.

When the chance-rip release condition is met, the chance-rip release pattern is suggested, when the game-number release condition is met, the game-number release pattern is suggested, and when the watermelon-release condition is met, the watermelon-release pattern is used. Suggestions are made.

The timing at which the next night stage suggestion is made includes the same timing as the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is made, and the timing related to the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is made. In the present embodiment, the timing related to the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is performed is the timing immediately after or immediately before the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is performed. Here, "just before" or "just after" means, for example, one second before, one second after, two seconds before, two seconds after, etc., such that the player feels a difference in timing.

In the case where the suggestion is made by the chance-rip cancellation pattern, the next night stage suggestion is made at a timing immediately after the AT transition suggestion is made. When the suggestion is made in the game number cancellation pattern, the next night stage suggestion is made at the timing immediately after the AT transition suggestion is made. When the suggestion is made in the watermelon cancellation pattern, the next night stage suggestion is made at the same timing as the AT transition suggestion is made. With such a difference in the suggestion timing, it is possible to know under which release condition the release is performed.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an emphasis effect. In the highlighting effect, an effect display for highlighting the suggestion image for suggestion is performed. Specifically, an effect display that emphasizes the AT transition suggestion image and the next night stage suggestion image is performed.

When the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are performed at the same time, the highlighting is performed on each of the AT transition suggestion image for suggesting the AT transition and the next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage. Is executed.

When the start timings of the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are different, the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the AT transition suggestion image and the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image are different from each other for the AT transition suggestion image. The execution period of the emphasis effect and the execution period of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image do not overlap. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.

First, a chance-reply cancellation pattern when the chance-reply cancellation condition is satisfied will be described. As shown in FIG. 18(a1), when the chance-lip cancellation condition is satisfied, immediate notification is given. When the chance replay 1 winning symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation, AT transition is suggested in the second display area. Then, as shown in FIG. 18(a2), after a predetermined time (for example, 1 second or 2 seconds) has elapsed, the next night stage is suggested in the first display area.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18(a3), after a predetermined time (for example, 1 second or 2 seconds) has elapsed, the highlight effect is executed on the AT transition suggestion image. Specifically, an effect display that emphasizes the AT transition suggestion image is performed by displaying the AT transition suggestion image and a plurality of star images around the AT transition suggestion image. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this, and the AT transition suggestion image may be enlarged or lit as an emphasis effect.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18(a4), after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 1 second or 2 seconds), the highlighting effect for the AT transition suggestion image is finished and the highlighting effect is executed for the next night stage suggestion. It Specifically, an effect display that emphasizes the next night stage suggestion image is performed by displaying the next night stage suggestion image and a plurality of star images around the next night stage suggestion image.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18(a5), after a predetermined time (for example, 1 second or 2 seconds) has elapsed, the highlighting effect on the night stage suggestive image ends.

Next, a game number cancellation pattern when the game number cancellation condition is satisfied will be described. As shown in FIG. 18(b1), when the number-of-games releasing condition is satisfied, it is assumed that immediate notification is given in a game that has reached the number of releasing games. When the symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation, the next night stage is suggested in the first display area. Then, as shown in FIG. 18(b2), after a predetermined time has elapsed, AT transition is suggested in the second display area.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18B3, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the highlighting effect is executed on the next night stage suggestive image. Then, as shown in FIG. 18(b4), after a predetermined time has elapsed, the highlighting effect on the next night stage suggestion image is finished and the highlighting effect is executed on the AT transition suggestion image. Then, as shown in FIG. 18B5, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the highlighting effect for the AT transition suggestion image ends.

Next, the watermelon release pattern when the watermelon release condition is satisfied will be described. As shown in FIG. 18(c1), when the watermelon release condition is satisfied, the precursor effect is executed. Therefore, in the game, even if the watermelon winning symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation, AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are not performed.

Then, in the game next to the game in which the precursor effects of the three games are finished, as shown in FIG. 18(c2), when the symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation, the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are given. It is done at the same time.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18(c3), after a predetermined time has elapsed, the highlighting effect is executed on the AT transition suggestion image and the next night stage suggestion image. Then, as shown in FIG. 18(c4), after a lapse of a predetermined time, the emphasis effect on the AT transition suggestion image and the next night stage suggestion image ends.

[Example of additional performance during AT]
Next, an example of the additional effect during AT will be described. The add-on effect is an effect that suggests that the number of Bell navigation already given during AT is further added by the add-on lottery.

As described above, when the AT is won by the lottery during the CZ, the number of Bell navigation is determined. The number of bell navigations to be given includes 10 navigations, 15 navigations, 20 navigations, and 50 navigations. Of these, 15 navigation is given only when the current setting value is setting 6. It is suggested that the player is in an advantageous state with a high payout rate (setting 6) by being given 15 navigations.

In the ride-on production, even if the ride-on lottery is not actually won, the play-on production is performed as if the ride-on lottery was won. For example, when the number of bell navigations given to the CZ is 15 navigations, after notifying that 10 navigations have been won, it is notified as if 5 navigations were added later by additional lottery and became 15 navigations. There may be performances. The additional effect will be specifically described below.

FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining an example of the additional effect during AT. As shown in FIG. 19(a1), it is assumed that AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are performed in the final game of CZ.

When a start operation is performed to start the next game, the AT is controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19(a2), an image including the title character "Yumemu RUSH Inrush" indicating that the AT has been controlled is displayed.

When a start operation is performed to start the next game, the execution of the navigation effect is started, and an animation image in which the girl character moves along with two stars is displayed on the screen. On the upper left of the screen, a character image "0/10" indicating that the number of Bell navigations given is 10 (10 navigations) and the number of executed Bell navigations is 0 (the rest of the number of Bell navigations is 10). Is displayed. Also, by the start operation, the 6-option bell, which is the pusher, is elected, and the bell navigation is executed.

Then, when the bell navigation is executed 9 times, the number of the given bell navigation is 10 and the executed number of the bell navigation is 9 times (the rest of the number of the bell navigation is 1), as shown in FIG. 19(a4). A character image “9/10” indicating that is displayed.

Then, it is assumed that the Bernavi is executed when the start operation is performed to start the next game. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19(a5), execution of the additional effect starts. On the screen, a character image “+5” indicating that 5 navigations have been added by the addition lottery and an aura image for emphasizing the character image are displayed around +5.

The character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed lighter by the image having the transmittance of 50%. The display of the aura image includes a blue aura display in which the aura image is displayed in blue and a red aura display in which the aura image is displayed in red.

Whether to display the blue aura display or the red aura display is determined by the sub-control unit 91 at the time of the start operation when the remaining number of the bell navigation is one. FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the aura type table. As shown in FIG. 20, the sub control unit 91 uses the aura type determination table to determine the type of aura display based on a lottery.

In the lottery performed in the aura type determination table, the type of the aura display is determined with different probabilities depending on whether or not there are additional games. Here, the “presence/absence number of games” means “there is the number of additional games” in the case where the winning additions have been won by the time the remaining number of Bernavi has reached one.

In addition, although no additional winning is selected, as described above, when the number of bell navigations given during CZ is 15 navigations, after notifying that 10 navigations have been won, 5 navigations will be added later by additional lottery. Even when the notification is made as if the number of navigations was added to 15 navigation (when the current setting is setting 6 is fueled), "the number of games to be added is present".

When there are additional games, the blue aura is displayed with a higher probability than when there are no additional games. When the blue aura is displayed, it is suggested that there is a high degree of expectation that it will be added. Returning to FIG. 20(a5), since the blue aura display is currently being performed, it is suggested that the degree of expectation to be added is high. As shown in FIG. 20(a6), the display of the character image "+5" and the blue aura display ends after 1 second has elapsed.

When the first stop operation is performed, the blue aura display is performed again as shown in FIG. 20(a7). At this time, the character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed as images having a transmittance of 50%. As shown in FIG. 20(a8), the display of the character image “+5” and the blue aura display ends after 1 second has elapsed.

When the second stop operation is performed, the character image “+5” and the blue aura display are performed again as shown in FIG. 20(a9). At this time, the character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed as images having a transmittance of 50%. As shown in FIG. 20(a10), the display of the character image “+5” and the blue aura display ends after 1 second has elapsed.

When the number of bell navigations given during the CZ is 10 navigations and no additional winning has been performed, as shown in FIG. 20(a11), the execution of the navigation effect ends by the third stop operation. On the screen, a character image “10/10” is displayed, which indicates that the number of Bell navigations given is 10 and the number of executed Bell navigations is 10.

Then, after 1 second has passed, as shown in FIG. 20(a12), the execution of the navigation effect is ended by the third stop operation. Further, a result notification for notifying the result of the game during AT is performed.

On the other hand, when the number of bell navigations given during CZ is 15 navigations, the character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed by the third stop operation as shown in FIG. 20(a13). At this time, the character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed as an image (normal image) having a transmittance of 0%. As a result, the fact that 5 navigations have been added (15 navigations have been reached) is notified. With 15 navigations, the player expects that the current setting value is setting 6.

As shown in FIG. 20(a14), the display of the character image “+5” and the aura image ends when 1 second has elapsed. At the same time, a character image “10/15” is displayed, which indicates that the number of Bell navigations given is 15 and the number of executed Bell navigations is 10. Then, the navigation effect is continued until the number of bell navigations reaches 15.

In addition, when the bell navigation is executed 14 times and the remaining one is executed, it is possible to further execute the addition effect. For example, the character image “+5” and the aura image may be displayed and the additional effect may be executed. Thereby, it can be suggested that the number of bell navigations given in CZ is 20 navigations. When the bell navigation is executed 19 times and the remaining one is left, the character image “+30” and the aura image are displayed to indicate that the number of bell navigations given in CZ is 50. Good.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the bell navigation is executed 9 times and when the remaining one is 1, the character image “+5” and the aura image are displayed, and the number of bell navigations given in CZ is 15 navigations. In addition to suggesting, the character image “+10” and the aura image can be displayed to suggest that the number of Bell navigations given in CZ is 20 navigations.

As the execution ratio, it is suggested that the number of bell navigations given by the character image “+5” is 15 with a probability of 30% (setting 6 is encouraged), and is given by the character image “+10” with a probability of 70%. It suggests that the number of Bell Navi is 20. This is done in the amusement store, although the actual setting value is set to 6 each time the bell-navi is executed 9 times, although the setting value is actually set to 6 infrequently. This is because, if an effect that stirs up or not is executed, the interest of the game is rather lowered.

[Release Game Number Determination Table in Modification 1]
Next, a first modified example of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 9, the number of released games for which the number of games is released is determined in advance by using the released game number determination table at the time of CZ transition. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not to cancel the number of games in the game when the start operation is performed during the CZ may be performed by each game lottery. Other configurations in the slot machine 1 are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20 unless otherwise specified in the following description.

FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the cancellation game number determination table in the first modification. As shown in FIG. 21, in each game in the CZ, the main control unit 41 uses the release game number determination table at a timing when the start operation is performed, and determines whether or not the AT is won and the release game number (current game) by lottery. Whether or not the number becomes the release game number) is determined.

The presence or absence of AT winning and the number of released games are determined with different probabilities depending on the currently controlled stage (morning stage, day stage, night stage). Here, the number of released games is the current number of games that have passed since being controlled by the CZ. For example, if the current number of games is the third game after being controlled by CZ, the probability of winning an AT is 0.5% when the currently controlled stage is the morning stage, and the probability of being AT-controlled is currently controlled. It is 1.0% when the stage in use is a day stage, and 2.0% when the stage currently controlled is a night stage.

Further, the probability of winning the AT in the 20th game after being controlled by the CZ is 100% in the night stage. As a result, if the stage is controlled at night, there is a 100% chance of winning the AT in the CZ.

On the other hand, when controlled in the morning stage, there is a 26.2% chance of winning the AT in the CZ. Also, when controlled to the day stage, there is a 45.9% chance of winning the AT in the CZ. In this way, the probability of winning the AT during the CZ increases in the order of the night stage, the day stage, and the morning stage.

For example, in the daytime stage, the probability of winning the AT in CZ can be calculated as “1-the probability of not winning the AT in all games”. “Probability of not winning AT in all games” is (probability of winning AT in 1-1G)×(probability of winning AT in 1-2G)×... (probability of winning AT in 1-20G) Is. Specifically, in the daytime stage, the probability of winning an AT in CZ is 1-((1-0.01)*(1-0.01)*(1-0.01)*(1-0. 01) x (1-0.01) x (1-0.02) x (1-0.02) x (1-0.02) x (1-0.02) x (1-0.02) X (1-0.03) x (1-0.03) x (1-0.03) x (1-0.03) x (1-0.03) x (1-0.05) x ( 1-0.05) x (1-0.05) x (1-0.05) x (1-0.1)) = 45.9%.

When the AT is won, the game number cancellation condition is satisfied. When the second precursory period (0G) is selected as the precursory period, an immediate notification is given in the game and the number of games is canceled. As a result, the control to the CZ is finished in the game, and the AT is controlled from the next game.

When the first precursory period (3G) is selected as the precursory period, the predictive effect of three games including the relevant game is executed, and the number of games is canceled in the game next to the game for which the predictive effect is finished. In the game in which the number of games is released, the control to the CZ is finished, and the AT is controlled from the next game. However, when the first predictive period (3G) is selected as the predictive period in the 17th game and thereafter, the predictive effect is executed until the 19th game and the number of games is released in the 20th game.

At the same time, AT lottery using the AT lottery table in CZ (FIG. 10) is also performed. When the rare part release condition is further satisfied while the game number release condition is established, as described with reference to FIG. 12, the number of bell navigations equal to or more than the number of bernavi times given by the establishment of the game number release condition is satisfied. The number of times will be given.

As described above, when the AT is controlled in the second period (the elapsed game number is 11G to 20G), the first control is performed more than in the first period (the elapsed game number is 1G to 10G). The second predictive period (0G) is highly selected from the predictive period (3G) and the second predictive period.

Further, CZ is a state in which medals are decreasing, and AT is a state in which medals are increasing. The longer the CZ controlled period is (the smaller the number of releasing games is), the more the medals are reduced, which is disadvantageous to the player. Therefore, in the second period (the number of releasing games is 11G to 20G), it is possible to prevent the disadvantageous state from being prolonged more than necessary by making it easier to select the second predictive period (0G).

On the other hand, the shorter the period controlled by CZ (the smaller the number of releasing games), the more medals can be increased in the AT to be controlled next without being significantly reduced, which is advantageous for the player. However, if the AT is repeatedly controlled while the CZ controlled period is short, the gambling performance will be increased more than necessary. Therefore, in the first period (the number of releasing games is 1G to 10G), the first predictive period (3G) is easily selected so that the AT is controlled many times while the CZ controlled period is short. Can be suppressed. In this way, by adjusting the period controlled by CZ, the balance between the period controlled by CZ and the period controlled by AT can be made suitable.

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 11, when the number of games to be released is increased, the more advantageous the number of bell navigations is, the more advantageous 20 navigations and the more advantageous 50 navigations are determined. For example, when the number of releasing games is 1 to 5 G, 50 Navi is determined with a probability of 1%, when the number of releasing games is 6 to 10 G, 50 Navi is determined with a probability of 2%, and the number of releasing games is 11 to 11. In the case of 15G, 50 navigation is determined with a probability of 5%, and in the case of the number of releasing games is 16 to 20G, 50 navigation is determined with a probability of 20%.

For example, if the player wins an AT when the number of elapsed games is 4G, the precursor period of 3G is likely to be selected, so that the number of games is canceled at 7G. Therefore, the probability that 50 navigations will be determined tends to increase from 1% (1 to 5G) to 2% (6 to 10G), and an advantageous lottery is likely to take place. On the other hand, if the player wins the AT when the number of elapsed games is 15G, the precursor period of 0G is likely to be selected, and thus the number of games is canceled at the 15G. For this reason, the probability that 50 navigations will be determined is less likely to increase from 5% (11 to 15G) to 20% (16 to 20G), so that an increase in medals when controlled by the AT can be suppressed.

[Bernavi frequency determination table by releasing rare role in Modification 2]
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining a Bellnavi frequency determination table by releasing a rare combination in the second modification. In the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 12, the number of times of Bernavi by releasing the rare combination is determined using the number of times of Bernavi by releasing the rare combination.

In this case, at the time of transition to CZ, the advantage in the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the rare combination release condition in the first period is equal to or more than the advantage in the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number release condition in the second period. (The number of Bell Navi given is equal or more).

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the number-of-games release condition is satisfied at the time of CZ transition and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the AT is in a state based on the establishment of the rare hand release condition. It may be so arranged that the AT when controlled is higher in the advantage of the AT (more navigations are given) than when the AT is controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition.

Further, in the case where the number-of-games release condition is not satisfied at the time of CZ transition, and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the advantage in AT controlled based on the establishment of the rare hand release condition is, The advantage may be equal to or higher than the advantage degree in the AT controlled based on the establishment of the game number cancellation condition in the second period (for example, the number of times of navigation provided is equal to or higher). Further, other configurations in the slot machine 1 are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20 unless otherwise specified in the following description.

As shown in FIG. 22A, when the current settings 1 to 5 are set, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by the lottery using the AT table in the CZ of FIG. The number of Bell navigations to be given is determined using the Bell navigation number determination table (settings 1 to 5).

The number of bernavis is determined with different probabilities according to the number of bernavis determined by releasing the number of games. In the Bell Navi determination table (settings 1 to 5) by releasing the number of games in FIG. 22A, when the number of games is released in the second period of 16 to 20 G, there is a 50% probability of 10 navigation, There is a 30% probability of 20 navigation and a 20% probability of 50 navigation.

On the other hand, in the Bell navi determination table (settings 1 to 5) by releasing the rare combination in FIG. 22A, when the number of Bell navi determined by the game number cancellation is 0 navi (the game number cancellation condition is satisfied). If not), it is determined that there is a 50% probability of 10 navigation, a 30% probability of 20 navigation, and a 20% probability of 50 navigation. This is the same probability as when the number of games is canceled in the second period of 16 to 20G, and the same number of times of navigation can be given as 10 times of navigation, so that the advantage is equal or higher.

If the number of bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 10 (when the number of games releasing condition is satisfied), the number of bell navigations determined by releasing the rare combination is 20 navigation with a higher advantage or 50 navigation is decided. Similarly, when the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the number of games is 20 navigation (when the condition for releasing the number of games is satisfied), the number of Bell navigations determined by releasing the rare combination is more advantageous. 50 navigation is decided.

[Summary of Disclosure Items Regarding Advantageous Zones]
The main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 execute the navigation for notifying the correct answer procedure when the 6-option bell is won. When the 6-choice bell wins and the stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, the middle-stage bell winning symbol combination is derived, and when the 6-choice bell is won and the stop switch is operated in the incorrect answer procedure, the upper-bell winning symbol A combination or lost eye is derived.

The AT is more likely to be notified of the correct answer procedure when the six-choice bell is hit than the CZ. The payout rate is the same in the normal section, the normal time in the advantageous section, and the CZ in the advantageous section. The payout rate in CZ is less than 1, and the payout rate in AT is greater than 1. The absolute value of the medal increase amount in the AT is larger than the absolute value of the medal decrease amount in the maximum period (20 G) in which the CZ can be controlled.

The normal section is a state in which the correct answer procedure is not notified when the 6-option bell is won. After the control to the advantageous section is finished, when the next game is started, it is controlled to the normal section, and the control to the normal section is finished in the game won in the advantageous section transition lottery for controlling the advantageous section. In the normal section, the advantageous section LED 19 that can identify the advantageous section is always in the off state.

The advantageous section is a state in which the correct answer procedure may be notified when the 6-option bell is won. Control to the advantageous section starts when the next game of the game selected by the 6-choice bell starts, and when the limiter condition for ending the advantageous section or any end condition is satisfied, control to the advantageous section Ends.

The main control unit 41 counts the number of digesting games in the advantageous section. When the number of digesting games reaches 1500 G, the state is controlled from the advantageous section to the normal section. The main control unit 41 does not count the number of digesting games in the advantageous section in the normal section.

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

(1-1) In a gaming machine for playing a game (for example, a gaming machine such as a slot machine 1 or a pachinko gaming machine),
A state control means capable of controlling any of a plurality of types of states (for example, a process of controlling the state by the main control unit 41),
And a suggestion means (for example, a process of executing a suggestion effect by the sub-control unit 91) for suggesting a state control,
The plurality of types of states include a plurality of types of predetermined states (for example, CZ) and specific states (for example, AT) that are more advantageous to the player than the predetermined states,
The plurality of types of predetermined states include a first predetermined state (for example, a morning stage and a daytime stage) and a second predetermined state (for example, a night stage) that is more advantageous to the player than the first predetermined state. ,
The state control means controls a state from the predetermined state to the specific state when a transition condition (for example, a release condition) is satisfied in the predetermined state, and changes from the specific state to the predetermined state after the end of the specific state. Control the state again,
When the predetermined state controlled again by the state control unit is the second predetermined state, the suggesting unit gives a specific suggestion (for example, AT transition suggestion) that suggests that the state is controlled to the specific state. And a predetermined suggestion (for example, next night stage suggestion) indicating that the predetermined state controlled by the state control unit again is the second predetermined state,
The timing at which the predetermined suggestion is made is a timing related to the timing at which the specific suggestion is made (for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the timing at which the next night stage suggestion is made is the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is made. The timing immediately after (FIG. 18(a2)) or the timing immediately before (FIG. 18(b1)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the release condition is satisfied in CZ, the state is controlled from CZ to AT, and the state is controlled from AT to CZ again after the end of AT. When the re-controlled CZ is a night stage that is more advantageous to the player than the morning stage or the day stage, the AT transition suggestion that the state is controlled is given to the AT, and the re-controlled CZ is performed at night. Next night, a stage suggestion will be made to suggest that it is a stage. In this way, in addition to the AT transition suggesting that the state is controlled by the AT, the next night stage suggesting that the night stage that is advantageous to the player is again controlled is performed, so that the interest of the game is enhanced. Can be improved. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the timing at which the next night stage suggestion is made is the timing immediately after the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is made (FIG. 18(a2)) or the timing immediately before (AT FIG. 18(b1)). .. In this way, since the timing at which the AT transition is suggested and the timing at which the next night stage is suggested are different, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game. Further, since the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion can be individually emphasized, it is possible to make the player pay attention to each suggestion.

(1-2) In a gaming machine for playing a game (for example, a gaming machine such as a slot machine 1 or a pachinko gaming machine),
A state control means capable of controlling any of a plurality of types of states (for example, a process of controlling the state by the main control unit 41),
And a suggestion means for suggesting the control of the state (for example, a process of executing a suggestion regarding the control of the state by the sub-control unit 91),
The plurality of types of states include a plurality of types of predetermined states (for example, CZ) and specific states (for example, AT) that are more advantageous to the player than the predetermined states,
The plurality of types of predetermined states include a first predetermined state (for example, a morning stage and a daytime stage) and a second predetermined state (for example, a night stage) that is more advantageous to the player than the first predetermined state. ,
The state control means controls a state from the predetermined state to the specific state when a transition condition (for example, a release condition) is satisfied in the predetermined state, and changes from the specific state to the predetermined state after the end of the specific state. Control the state again,
When the predetermined state controlled again by the state control unit is the second predetermined state, the suggesting unit gives a specific suggestion (for example, AT transition suggestion) that suggests that the state is controlled to the specific state. And a predetermined suggestion (for example, next night stage suggestion) indicating that the predetermined state controlled again by the state control means is the second predetermined state,
The timing at which the predetermined suggestion is made is the same as the timing at which the specific suggestion is made (for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the timing at which the night stage transition suggestion is made is the same as the timing at which the AT transition suggestion is made. Timing (FIG. 18(c2)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the release condition is satisfied in CZ, the state is controlled from CZ to AT, and the state is controlled again from AT to CZ after the end of AT. When the re-controlled CZ is a night stage that is more advantageous to the player than the morning stage or the day stage, the AT transition suggestion that the state is controlled is given to the AT, and the re-controlled CZ is performed at night. Next night, a stage suggestion will be made to suggest that it is a stage. In this way, in addition to the AT transition suggesting that the state is controlled by the AT, the next night stage suggesting that the night stage that is advantageous to the player is again controlled is performed, so that the interest of the game is enhanced. Can be improved. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, since it is the same timing as the AT transition suggestion is made (FIG. 18(c2)), it is possible to give a strong impression to the player, thereby improving the enjoyment of the game. be able to.

(1-3) In the gaming machine of (1-1) or (1-2) above,
In any of the first predetermined state and the second predetermined state, the state control means controls the state to the specific state based on the establishment of a specific condition (for example, chance lip winning, watermelon winning),
In the second predetermined state, it is confirmed that the state is controlled to the specific state without the specific condition being satisfied,
In the first predetermined state, it is not determined that the state is controlled to the specific state without the specific condition being satisfied,
When the state control means controls the state to the specific state based on the satisfaction of the specific condition in the second predetermined state, the state control unit controls the state to the second predetermined state after the end of the specific state,
When the specific condition is satisfied in the second predetermined state, the suggesting means performs the specific suggestion and the predetermined suggestion, and also relates the predetermined suggestion to the end of the specific state (for example, FIG. 7( (a14) stage lottery title display end timing) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to (a14), when a rare role is won in the night stage, the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are given. It will be held and the next night's stage suggestion will continue until the stage lottery title display end timing).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, in any of the morning stage, the daytime stage, and the night stage, the AT is controlled based on the establishment of a specific condition (e.g., chance chance winning, watermelon winning). As shown in FIG. 9, in the night stage, it is determined that the AT is controlled even if the specific condition is not satisfied. As shown in FIG. 9, in the morning stage or the daytime stage, it is not determined that the AT is controlled even if the specific condition is not satisfied. As shown in FIG. 10B, when the AT is controlled based on the chance lip or the watermelon winning in the night stage, the night stage is controlled after the AT ends. As shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to (a14), when a chance lip or a watermelon is won in the night stage, the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are performed, and the next night stage suggestion ends the stage lottery title display. Continue until the timing.

(1-4) In the gaming machines of (1-1) to (1-3) above,
The suggesting means makes the predetermined suggestion in the specific state (for example, as shown in FIGS. 7(a11) to (a14), next night stage suggestion is made during AT).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7(a11) to (a14), next night stage suggestion is performed during AT. By doing so, in addition to the AT transition suggesting that the state is controlled by the AT, the next night stage suggesting that the night stage that is advantageous to the player is again controlled is performed. The interest of the game can be improved. Further, the next night stage suggestion is performed during the AT, which is between the timing when the cancellation condition is satisfied in the CZ and the timing regarding the end of the AT, so that the player is always controlled to the advantageous night stage again during this period. You can check.

(1-5) In the gaming machines of (1-1) to (1-4) above,
A display unit (for example, the liquid crystal display 51) for displaying an image in a display area (for example, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51),
In the display area, a first display area (for example, the first display area shown in FIG. 18) and a second display area that is wider than the first display area (for example, the second display area shown in FIG. 18). And include
A specific suggestion image for performing the specific suggestion (for example, AT transition suggestive image) is displayed in the second display area,
A predetermined suggestion image for performing the predetermined suggestion (for example, a next night stage suggestion image) is displayed in the first display area,
The suggestion unit causes the predetermined suggestion image to be displayed in the second display area after ending the display of the predetermined suggestion image displayed in the first display area at a timing related to the end of the specific state. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 7(a14) to (a16), in the second display area after the display of the next night stage suggestion image displayed in the first display area at the stage lottery title display end timing is completed, Next night the stage suggestion image will be displayed),
The state control means controls the state to the second predetermined state after the predetermined suggestion image is displayed in the second display area (for example, as shown in FIGS. 7A16 and 7A17, After the next night stage suggestion image is displayed in the display area, it is controlled by CZ).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18(a0), the screen of the liquid crystal display device 51 includes a first display area and a second display area wider than the first display area. The AT transition suggestion image for suggesting the AT transition is displayed in the second display area. The next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage is displayed in the first display area. As shown in FIGS. 7(a14) to (a17), after the display of the next night stage suggestion image displayed in the first display area is finished at the stage lottery title display end timing, the next night stage is displayed in the second display area. The suggestion image is displayed, and the CZ control is performed after the next night stage suggestion image is displayed in the second display area. By doing so, it is possible to preferably give a suggestion to the player by using the first display area and the second display area.

(1-6) In the gaming machine of (1-3) above,
The gaming machine includes a plurality of variable display portions capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified,
After the variable display is variably displayed, the variable display of the variable display is stopped to derive the display result, and the winning can be generated according to the display result combination which is the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display units. And
Predetermination means for deciding display result combinations that are allowed to be derived (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main controller 41);
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result combination (for example, reel control processing executed by the main controller 41),
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determining means is a specific determination result (for example, chance rep 1 winning), a specific display result combination (for example, chance rep 1 winning symbol combination) can be derived.
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is a predetermined determination result (for example, 6-choice bell win), some display results of the display results of the plurality of variable display sections that form the specific display result combination It is possible to derive a predetermined display result combination (for example, a 6-choice bell winning symbol combination) having different (for example, a symbol derived to the right reel),
The specific condition is satisfied when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result,
The specific condition is not satisfied when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the predetermined determination result,
The suggesting means, when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result, displays the predetermined display result combination among the display results of the plurality of variable display units forming the specific display result combination. The specific suggestion is made at the timing when a part of the display results with different results is derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 15(a5), when the chance lip 1 is won, the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination and 6 The AT transition is suggested at the timing when the symbol is derived to the right reel where the winning symbol is different depending on the selection bell winning symbol combination).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when the chance lip 1 is won, the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination "bell-bell-replay" can be derived. When the 6-choice bell wins, it is possible to derive the 6-choice bell winning symbol combination “bell-bell-bell” in which the winning symbol on the right reel is different from the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination. The specific condition is satisfied when Chance Rep 1 is won. On the other hand, the specific condition does not hold when the 6-option bell is won. As shown in FIG. 15(a5), when the chance rep 1 is won, at the timing when the symbol is derived to the right reel where the winning symbols are different between the chance rep 1 winning symbol combination and the 6-choice bell winning symbol combination, the AT is generated. Transition suggestions are made.

By doing so, when the symbols are drawn out to the right reels having different winning symbols, the player's attention can be gathered, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, the player can determine whether or not the AT is controlled by the derived symbol. In this way, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being lowered by making the AT transition suggestion at the timing when it can be determined whether or not the AT is controlled.

(1-7) In the gaming machines of (1-1) to (1-6) above,
In the second display area, the suggestion unit displays the predetermined suggestion image in the first display area after the specific condition is satisfied in the second predetermined state, and displays the predetermined indication image in the second display area. While ending the display of the specific suggestion image, the display of the specific suggestion image in the first display area is continued (for example, as shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to 7(a14), a night stage While the rare role is won and the stage suggestion image is displayed in the first display area on the next night until the stage lottery title display end timing, the display of the AT transition suggestion image in the second display area is finished, The display of the next night stage suggestion image in the first display area continues.)

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7(a10) to 7(a14), after the rare role is won in the night stage and the next night stage suggestion image is displayed in the first display area, the stage lottery title display ends. Until the timing, the display of the AT transition suggestion image in the second display area is ended, while the display of the next night stage suggestion image in the first display area is continued. In this way, since the next night stage suggestion is performed without interruption, the player can always confirm that the advantageous night stage is controlled again during this period.

(1-8) In the gaming machines of (1-1) to (1-7) above,
Emphasis effect execution means (for example, by the sub-control unit 91) that executes an emphasis effect that performs a display (for example, an effect display) that emphasizes a suggestion image (for example, an AT transition suggestion image, a next night stage suggestion image) for making a suggestion. Processing for executing an emphasis effect),
The emphasis effect executing means,
When the specific suggestion and the predetermined suggestion are performed at the same time, the highlighting effect is executed for each of the specific suggestion image for performing the specific suggestion and the predetermined suggestive image for performing the predetermined suggestion. Then
When the start timing of the specific suggestion and the predetermined suggestion are different, the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the specific suggestion image and the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the predetermined suggestion image are different, and The execution period of the emphasis effect and the execution period of the emphasis effect with respect to the predetermined suggestion image do not overlap (for example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the start timings of the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are different, the AT Unlike the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the transition suggestion image and the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image, the execution period of the emphasis effect for the AT transition suggestion image and the execution period of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image Do not overlap).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, a highlighting effect is performed in which an effect display for highlighting an AT transition suggestive image or a next night stage suggestive image, which is a suggestive image for suggesting, is performed. When the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are performed at the same time, the highlighting is performed on each of the AT transition suggestion image for suggesting the AT transition and the next night stage suggestion image for suggesting the next night stage. Is executed. When the start timings of the AT transition suggestion and the next night stage suggestion are different, the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the AT transition suggestion image and the execution start timing of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image are different from each other for the AT transition suggestion image. The execution period of the emphasis effect and the execution period of the emphasis effect for the next night stage suggestion image do not overlap. In this way, since the execution start timing and the execution period of the highlighting effect are made different, it is possible to attract the player's attention to any suggestion.

(1-9) In the gaming machines of (1-1) to (1-8) above,
The transition conditions include a first transition condition (for example, a chance replay cancellation condition), a second transition condition (for example, a game number cancellation condition), and a third transition condition (for example, a watermelon cancellation condition),
The suggestion pattern of the suggesting means includes a first suggestion pattern (for example, the chance-reply release pattern shown in FIGS. 18(a1) to (a5)) in which the predetermined suggestion is started after the specific suggestion is started, and the predetermined suggestion. A second suggestion pattern (for example, the game number cancellation pattern shown in FIGS. 18B1 to 18B5) in which the specific suggestion is started after the suggestion is started, and a third suggestive pattern in which the specific suggestion and the predetermined suggestion are simultaneously started. A suggestive pattern (for example, the watermelon release pattern shown in FIGS. 18C1 to 18C4),
The suggestion means is
When the first transition condition is satisfied, a suggestion is made using the first suggestion pattern (for example, as shown in FIGS. 18(a1) to (a5), when the chance repeat release condition is satisfied, the chance repeat release pattern is used. Suggestions will be made),
When the second transition condition is satisfied, a suggestion is made in the second suggestion pattern (for example, as shown in FIGS. 18(b1) to (b5), the game number release pattern is used when the game number release condition is satisfied. Suggestions will be made),
When the third transition condition is satisfied, a suggestion is made in the third suggestion pattern (for example, as shown in FIGS. 18C1 to 18C4, when the watermelon release condition is established, a suggestion is made in the watermelon release pattern). Done).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the cancellation conditions include a chance-reply cancellation condition, a game number cancellation condition, and a watermelon cancellation condition. The suggestion patterns are a chance-lip release pattern (FIGS. 18(a1) to (a5)) in which the next night stage suggestion is started after the AT transition suggestion is started, and the AT transition suggestion is started after the next night stage suggestion is started. The game number release pattern (FIGS. 18(b1) to (b5)) to be played and the watermelon release pattern (FIGS. 18(c1) to (c4)) that simultaneously start AT transition suggestion and next night stage suggestion are included. When the chance-rip release condition is met, the chance-rip release pattern is suggested, when the game-number release condition is met, the game-number release pattern is suggested, and when the watermelon-release condition is met, the watermelon-release pattern is used. Suggestions are made. In this way, since it is possible to determine which of the release conditions the AT has controlled, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

(2-1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which is identifiable,
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 state control means capable of controlling any of a plurality of types of states (for example, a process for controlling the state by the main control unit 41),
The plurality of types of states include a normal state (for example, a normal section) and a plurality of types of specific states (for example, an advantageous section) that are more advantageous to the player than the normal state,
The plurality of types of the specific states include a first state (for example, normal time), a second state (for example, CZ), and a third state (for example, AT),
Both the first state and the second state are states in which the gaming value (for example, medals) owned by the player decreases.
The third state is a state in which the gaming value owned by the player increases.
The second state and the third state can be continuous with each other (for example, unless the limiter condition or an arbitrary ending condition is satisfied, when the CZ is controlled to the AT, the CZ is always controlled after the AT ends. , When AT is controlled to CZ, it is possible to control to AT after the end of CZ).
When the number of games played in the specific state (for example, the number of digest games in the advantageous section) reaches a predetermined specific number (for example, 1500G), information about the specific state (for example, the number of digest games in the advantageous section, etc.) Information regarding the advantageous section) is initialized, and the state is controlled from the specific state to the normal state,
The period in the second state includes a first period (for example, 1G to 10G) and a second period after the first period (for example, 11G to 20G),
The state control means has a plurality of types of conditions including a predetermined condition (for example, a game number release condition) and a specific condition (for example, a rare combination release condition (chance rip release condition, watermelon release condition)) in the second state. When any one of them is established, the state is controlled from the second state to the third state,
In the second state, the third state is set based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition in the second period, rather than when the state is controlled to the third state based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition in the first period. At a higher rate when the state is controlled, the degree of advantage (for example, the number of Bernavi times) in the third state becomes higher (for example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 14, in CZ, in the first period). The advantage of AT is higher when the state is controlled by the AT based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition in the second period than the AT is controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition. It becomes (the number of Bell Navi given is large)),
In the second state, the advantage in the third state controlled based on the satisfaction of the specific condition in the first period is the third state controlled in the second period based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition. Is equal to or more than the advantage degree in (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. 14, in CZ, the advantage degree in AT controlled based on the establishment of the rare combination releasing condition in the first period is It is equal to or more than the degree of advantage in the AT controlled based on the establishment of the number-of-games cancellation condition in two periods (for example, the number of Bell navigations to be given is equal to or more).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of types of states controlled by the main control unit 41 include a normal section and an advantageous section that is more advantageous to the player than the normal section. The advantageous zone includes normal time, CZ, and AT. In both normal times and CZ, the medals are reduced. AT is a state where medals increase. CZ and AT are in a state where they can be continuous with each other. For example, unless a limiter condition or an arbitrary end condition is satisfied, when the CZ is controlled by the AT, the CZ is always controlled after the AT ends, and when the AT is controlled by the CZ, the AT can be controlled after the CZ end. .. When the number of exhausted games in the advantageous section reaches 1500 G, information about the advantageous section such as the number of exhausted games in the advantageous section is initialized and the state is controlled from the advantageous section to the normal section. As shown in FIG. 14, the period in CZ includes a first period (1G to 10G) and a second period (11G to 20G) after the first period. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when one of a plurality of types of conditions including a game number release condition and a rare combination release condition (chance lip release condition, watermelon release condition) is satisfied in CZ, CZ To AT. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, in the CZ, the state is in the AT based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition in the second period, compared to when the AT is controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition in the first period. Is higher when AT is controlled, and the advantage in AT is higher (the number of Bell navigations given is larger). As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. 14, in CZ, the advantage in AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the rare combination release condition in the first period is based on the satisfaction of the game number release condition in the second period. The degree of advantage is equal to or higher than that of the controlled AT (for example, the number of Bernavi operations given is equal to or higher than that).

As described above, when the state is controlled by the AT based on the satisfaction of the number-of-games cancellation condition in the second period of the CZ, the AT is more likely to be more advantageous, and thus the case where the CZ is controlled to decrease the medals for a long time Even in this case, the player's dissatisfaction can be reduced. Further, it is possible to prevent the number of medals from increasing too much by ending the advantageous section with the specific number of times (1500G), and thus it is possible to suppress the motivation to fire. Further, when the rare role releasing condition is satisfied in the first period prior to the second period, the advantage is equal to or higher than that in the second period when the number-of-games releasing condition is satisfied. Can be prevented.

(2-2) In the slot machine of (2-1) above,
Suggesting means (for example, performing an AT transition suggestion) indicating that the state is controlled from the second state to the third state based on the establishment of the specific condition (for example, performing a suggestive effect by the sub-control unit 91). Processing),
The specific condition includes a first specific condition (for example, a chance-rip cancellation condition) and a second specific condition (for example, a watermelon cancellation condition),
When the first specific condition is satisfied, the period until the suggestion is made by the suggesting unit is shorter than when the second specific condition is fulfilled (for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the chance-reply release condition is set). When is satisfied, the period until the AT transition is suggested is shorter (the precursor period is shorter) than when the watermelon cancellation condition is satisfied.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, an AT transition suggestion indicating that the CZ is controlled by the AT based on the satisfaction of the rare combination release condition is performed. The rare role releasing condition includes a chance lip releasing condition and a watermelon releasing condition. When the chance-rip cancellation condition is satisfied, the period until the AT transition is suggested is shorter (the precursor period is shorter) than when the watermelon cancellation condition is satisfied. By doing so, the player can be focused on the establishment of the watermelon cancellation condition.

(2-3) In the slot machine of (2-2) above,
Further provided is a pre-determination means (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result that permits derivation,
The first specific condition is satisfied when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the first specific determination result (for example, chance lip winning),
The second specific condition is satisfied when the determination result of the pre-determining means is a second specific determination result (for example, watermelon winning).
When the determination result of the pre-determination means in the second state is the first specific determination result, it is more than when the determination result of the pre-determination means in the second state is the second specific determination result. , Which is advantageous to the player (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the chance lip is won in the CZ, the AT winning probability is higher than when the watermelon is won in the CZ).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the chance-lip cancellation condition is satisfied when the chance-lip is won. The watermelon cancellation condition is met when the watermelon is elected. When the chance lip is won in the CZ, the AT winning probability is higher than when the watermelon is won in the CZ. By doing so, the player can be paid attention to the winning of the rare role.

(2-4) In the slot machine of (2-3) above,
The predetermined condition can be satisfied at a timing related to the start timing of the second state (for example, at the time of CZ transition),
When the predetermined condition is met in the second state, the state control means changes from the second state to the second state in any one of a plurality of periods including the first period and the second period. The state is controlled to be in three states (for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the number-of-games release condition is satisfied in CZ, in any one of a plurality of periods including a first period and a second period, Controlled by CZ to AT).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the game number cancellation condition can be satisfied at the time of CZ transition. When the number-of-games cancellation condition is satisfied in the CZ, the CZ is controlled by the AT in any one of a plurality of periods including the first period and the second period. By doing so, whether to be controlled by the AT at the time of CZ transition is first determined, and at that time, even if it is determined that the AT is not controlled, the rare hand release condition is satisfied. Since the control to the AT is decided by, the interest of the game can be improved.

(2-5) In the slot machine of (2-4) above,
When the predetermined condition is satisfied at the timing related to the start timing of the second state, any one of a plurality of types of predetermined precursory periods (for example, 0G and 3G) is selected, and the selected precursory period is selected. After the passage of, after the suggestion that the state is controlled to the third state by the suggesting means, the state is controlled to the third state,
The plurality of types of precursory periods include a first predictive period (for example, 3G) and a second predictive period (for example, 0G) shorter than the first predictive period,
When the state is controlled to the third state in the second period, the first precursory period and the second precursory period are more than when the state is controlled to the third state in the first period. Of these, the rate of selecting the second precursory period is high (for example, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 21, when the AT is controlled in the second period, it is more than in the first period. , The ratio of selecting the second precursory period is high among the first precursory period and the second predictive period).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 21, when the number-of-games release condition is satisfied during the CZ transition, any one of a plurality of predetermined precursory periods (1G, 1G to 3G) is detected. After the selected precursory period has elapsed, the AT transition suggests that it is controlled by the AT, and then the AT is controlled. The precursory period includes a first predictive period (3G) and a second predictive period (0G) having a shorter period than the first predictive period. When the AT is controlled in the second period, the ratio of selecting the second precursory period of the first precursory period and the second precursory period is higher than that in the case of being controlled by the AT in the first period. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the CZ controlled period from being lengthened more than necessary, and at the same time to prevent the AT from being controlled (AT consortium) within a short period after being controlled by the CZ. You can As a result, the balance between the control period for CZ and the control period for AT can be optimized.

(2-6) In the slot machine of (2-4) above,
When the predetermined condition is satisfied at the timing related to the start timing of the second state and the specific condition is satisfied in the first period, the third state is set based on the satisfaction of the specific condition. When the state is controlled, the advantage in the third state is higher than when the state is controlled to the third state based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition (see, for example, FIG. 11 and FIG. 22). As shown, when the number-of-games release condition is satisfied at the time of transition to CZ, and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the state is controlled by the AT based on the satisfaction of the rare hand release condition. At this time, the advantage in AT becomes higher (when the number of times of navigation is given is higher) than when AT is controlled based on the satisfaction of the game number cancellation condition).
When the predetermined condition is not satisfied at the timing related to the start timing of the second state and the specific condition is satisfied in the first period, the first condition controlled based on the satisfaction of the specific condition is satisfied. The degree of advantage in the three states is equal to or higher than the degree of advantage in the third state controlled based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition in the second period (for example, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 22). In the case where the number-of-games release condition is not satisfied at the time of CZ transition, and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the advantage in AT controlled based on the establishment of the rare hand release condition is, It is equal to or higher than the degree of advantage in the AT controlled based on the establishment of the game number cancellation condition in the second period (for example, the number of times of navigation given is equal to or higher).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 22, when the number-of-games release condition is satisfied at the time of CZ transition, and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the rare hand release condition is set. When the state is controlled by the AT based on the establishment of the AT, the advantage in the AT is higher than when the state is controlled by the AT based on the establishment of the number-of-games cancellation condition (the number of times of navigation is given). The player's dissatisfaction can be prevented. Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 22, when the number-of-games release condition is not satisfied at the time of CZ transition and the rare hand release condition is satisfied in the first period, the rare hand is The degree of advantage in the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the cancellation condition is equal to or higher than the degree of advantage in the AT controlled based on the satisfaction of the number-of-games cancellation condition in the second period (for example, the number of times of navigation given is equal to or higher than that). Therefore, the player does not feel dissatisfied.

(2-7) In the slot machines (2-1) to (2-6) above,
A pre-determining means for deciding a display result permitting derivation (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control section 41),
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result,
Derivation control means (for example, reel control processing executed by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving the display result is further provided,
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is a specific determination result (for example, 6-choice bell win), and when the derivation operation means is operated in a specific operation mode (for example, correct answer procedure), a specific display result (for example, middle row). Bell winning symbol combination) is derived,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the specific determination result and the derivation operation means is operated in a non-specific operation mode (for example, an incorrect answer procedure) different from the specific operation mode, a non-specific display result ( For example, derive the upper bell winning symbol combination, lose eyes),
When the determination result of the pre-determination means becomes the specific determination result, a notification means (for example, a process of executing a navigation by the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91) that notifies the specific operation mode is further provided. ,
The normal state is a state in which the specific operation mode is not notified when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result,
After the control to the specific state is finished, the state is controlled to the normal state when the next game starts, and the determination result of the pre-determining means is an advantageous determination result for controlling to the specific state ( For example, in the game that won the advantageous section transition lottery), the control to the normal state is completed,
In the normal state, the light emitting means (for example, the advantageous section LED 19) capable of identifying the specific state is always in the off state.

Specifically, when the 6-option bell is won and the stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, the middle-stage bell winning symbol combination is derived, the 6-option bell is won, and the stop switch is operated in the incorrect answer procedure. Occasionally, the upper bell winning symbol combination or the loose eye is derived. The main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 execute the navigation for notifying the correct answer procedure when the 6-option bell is won. The normal section is a state in which the correct answer procedure is not notified when the 6-option bell is won. After the control to the advantageous section is finished, when the next game is started, it is controlled to the normal section, and the control to the normal section is finished in the game won in the advantageous section transition lottery for controlling the advantageous section. In the normal section, the advantageous section LED 19 that can identify the advantageous section is always in the off state.

(2-8) In the slot machines of (2-1) to (2-7) above,
The specific state is a state in which the specific operation mode may be notified when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the specific determination result,
The control to the specific state is started by the start of the next game of the game in which the determination result of the pre-determination means is the advantageous determination result, and the specific state ending condition for ending the specific state (for example, , Limiter condition, arbitrary end condition) are satisfied, the control to the specific state is ended.

Specifically, the advantageous section is a state in which the correct answer procedure may be notified when the 6-option bell is won. Control to the advantageous section starts when the next game of the game selected by the 6-choice bell starts, and when the limiter condition for ending the advantageous section or any end condition is satisfied, control to the advantageous section Ends.

(2-9) In the slot machines of (2-1) to (2-8) above,

The payout rate in the second state is less than 1,
The payout rate in the third state is greater than 1.

Specifically, the AT is more likely than the CZ to be notified of the correct answer procedure when the six-choice bell is played. The payout rate in CZ is less than 1, and the payout rate in AT is greater than 1. As the period during which CZ is controlled to decrease medals (ball output rate is less than 1) becomes longer, the merit increases in AT (ball output rate is greater than 1). Even if the period for which the medals are reduced becomes longer due to the control of 1, the player's dissatisfaction can be prevented.

(2-10) In the slot machines (2-1) to (2-9) above,
The normal state, the first state in the specific state, and the second state in the specific state have the same payout rate.

Specifically, the payout rate is the same in the normal section, the normal time in the advantageous section, and the CZ in the advantageous section.

(2-11) In the slot machines of (2-1) to (2-10) above,
The absolute value of the increasing amount of the gaming value in the third state is larger than the absolute value of the decreasing amount of the gaming value in the maximum controllable period (for example, 20G) in the second state.

Specifically, the absolute value of the medal increase amount in the AT is larger than the absolute value of the medal decrease amount in the maximum period (20 G) in which CZ control is possible.

When the digestive game number reaches the specific number, the state is controlled from the specific state to the normal state,
The counting means does not count the number of digestive games in the normal state.

Specifically, the main control unit 41 counts the number of digesting games in the advantageous section. When the number of digesting games reaches 1500 G, the state is controlled from the advantageous section to the normal section. The main control unit 41 does not count the number of digesting games in the advantageous section in the normal section.

[Modification]
Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[Release release]
When the watermelon was released on the night stage, the next stage will be the night stage. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the next stage may be a night stage, which may be more advantageous. Alternatively, when the watermelon is released at the night stage, 50 navigations may be definitely determined in the Bell navigation frequency determination table of FIG. 12, which may be more advantageous. The night stage is a stage in which it is confirmed that the next stage will be a night stage, and even when the watermelon is released, it is confirmed that the next stage will be a night stage. Therefore, when the watermelon is released on the night stage, the player feels as if the watermelon was won in vain, and in this case, it may be advantageous as described above.

[Regarding the first period and the second period]
In the present embodiment, the first period is set to 1G to 10G in CZ, and the second period is set to 11G to 20G in CZ. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be any as long as the second period comes after the first period. For example, the first period may be 1G to 5G in CZ and the second period may be 16G to 20G in CZ. The first period is 6G to 10G in CZ and the second period is in CZ. 16G to 20G.

[About the precursory period]
In the present embodiment, when the number-of-games cancellation condition is satisfied, the first omen period (3G) or the second omen period (0G) is selected as the omen period by lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the precursory period may be selected in the range of 1 to 5 G by lottery, for example. Further, the lottery for the precursory period may be performed such that the precursory period becomes shorter as the number of release games becomes larger.

In addition, when the chance lip cancellation condition is satisfied by the chance lip winning, the second precursory period (0G) is selected as the precursory period, and when the watermelon cancellation condition is satisfied by the watermelon winning, the first precursory period ( 3G) was selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the precursory period may be selected in the range of 1 to 5 G by lottery, for example. In addition, the precursory period may be determined by lottery so that the precursory period is shorter when the chance-rip cancellation condition is satisfied than when the watermelon-cancellation condition is satisfied.

[Chance Lip 1 winning symbol combination]
In the present embodiment, the chance lip 1 winning symbol combination is “bell-bell-replay”, but different winning symbol combinations may be derived depending on the pressing order. For example, as a winning symbol combination, a combination A "bell-bell-replay", a combination B "bell-replay-bell", a combination C "replay-bell-bell" are prepared, and left, middle, right or middle, left. , When the stop switch is operated in the right pushing order, the combination A is derived, and when the stop switch is operated in the left, right, middle or right, left, middle pushing order, the combination B is derived, the middle The combination C may be derived when the stop switch is operated in the order of the right, left, right or right, middle, and left pressing. In this case, the replay symbol is derived to the reel corresponding to the stop switch operated at the time of the third stop operation, regardless of the pressing order in which the stop operation is performed. By doing so, it becomes impossible to determine whether the chance lip 1 is won or the 6-option bell is won until the third stop operation, regardless of the pressing order in which the stop operation is performed. be able to.

[Display area]
In the present embodiment, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 includes the first display area and the second display area which is wider than the first display area. However, not limited to this, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 may be the second display area, and the screen of a liquid crystal display (sub liquid crystal display) different from the liquid crystal display 51 may be the second display area.

[Specific conditions]
The lottery conditions (specific conditions) in the AT lottery table in the CZ shown in FIG. 10A include a chance lip win and a watermelon win. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific condition may be satisfied when the point reaches a specific value. For example, each game point lottery is performed during the CZ, and when the point lottery is won, predetermined points are given. Then, the lottery condition (specific condition) is established when the cumulative value of the points reaches the specific value.

[Application to pachinko machines]
Next, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine will be described. Hereinafter, detailed description of the same parts as those in the above embodiment will be omitted.

In the pachinko gaming machine, a game is performed by operating a hitting ball operation handle in a game area provided on a game board to hit a pachinko ball which is a game medium. In a pachinko gaming machine, when a pachinko ball passes through a starting area provided in the game area, it is determined based on the extracted random number whether or not to generate a big hit. By passing through the starting area, the image display device performs variable display of effect symbols. When it becomes a big hit, big hit symbols are derived and displayed as a result of the variable display. After the big hit, the big hit game state is controlled. After the big hit game state is over, it may be controlled to a certain change state according to the big hit type. Probability variation control is performed in which the probability that the probability variation state display result is "big hit" is higher than in the normal state.

When the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine, the following may be performed. The pachinko gaming machine has, as states, a first probability variation state, a second probability variation state having a higher degree of advantage than the first probability variation state, and a jackpot gaming state, and the first predetermined state is applied to the first probability variation state, The second predetermined state may be applied to the second probability variation state, and the specific state may be applied to the jackpot gaming state. Further, in the effect display device, it is possible to execute a predetermined effect that suggests that the second probability variation state is controlled again and a specific effect that suggests that the jackpot gaming state is controlled.

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