The slot machine 1 as described above is configured to be able to execute the following slot machine games under the control of the main controller 10.

At the start of the game, the number of bets is set from the credit medal by inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 2 or operating the bet button 2a.
Then, when the bet number reaches a predetermined number (for example, 3), one of the game start conditions is satisfied, and the game can be started in which the right to execute one game is held.

In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 3 is valid. When the start lever 3 is tilted in this valid state, all of the game start conditions are satisfied, the game is started, and the reels 4a to 4c having a plurality of symbols start changing, and An internal lottery process is performed in which a lottery result of the current game is determined in advance before the reel 4 is stopped from a plurality of winning combinations (including a winning combination) such as a replay combination, a small combination, and a bonus combination.
In the internal lottery process, the winning combination of the current game is determined by a lottery from a plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability. For example, the replay combination is derived as the first selection result and the bell combination is derived as the second selection result by the lottery.

Further, when the main control device 10 receives the signal from the start lever 3, the elapsed time from the start of rotation of the reel 4 in the previous game has not passed the predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds). In order to temporarily stop the rotation of the reels 4, the number of games is limited so that the number of games executed per unit time (for example, 1 minute) is within a predetermined number (for example, 14 times). Perform limit control. That is, the main control device 10 includes a game number limiting means capable of limiting the number of times the game is executed per unit time within a predetermined number. By this control, the shortest time required for one game is defined as a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds).

Each of the reels 4a to 4c is an example of a display means, and a plurality of symbols (replay, bell, watermelon, cherry, 7) are displayed in a predetermined arrangement on the peripheral surface of each of the reels 4a to 4c, and then stopped. After gradually increasing the rotation speed from the state, it reaches a steady rotation rotating at a constant speed.
When such a steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 5a to 5c provided corresponding to the reels 4a to 4c are in a state in which they can be pressed.

When the stop buttons 5a to 5c are pressed in this state, the reels 4a to 4c are stop-controlled so as to stop at a combination of symbols allowed by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process. ..

In the stopped state, the three symbols, which are continuously displayed in the vertical direction on the reels 4a to 4c, are stopped so that they are exposed from the display window 6 to the outside of the machine (stop display), and the prize is awarded based on the stop display mode at this time. Presence/absence is determined.
The determination of the winning is made based on the combination of the symbols stopped on any of the five winning lines including the upper, middle and lower lines in the display window 6, the line descending to the right and the line rising to the right.

The winning of a winning combination such as a small combination, a replay combination, a bonus combination, etc. is determined based on such a combination of symbols on the winning line.
Small roles include, for example, a bell role, a watermelon role, and a cherry role.

The bell combination is provided with two bell combinations having different combinations of corresponding symbols. For example, a combination of the corresponding symbols, in the order of "left reel 4a/middle reel 4b/right reel 4c" on the pay line (hereinafter the same), a common bell combination of "bell replay bell", and " It is possible to provide a push order bell role such as "bell, bell, bell".

The common bell combination is a small combination in which the corresponding symbol combination (“bell replay bell”) stops regardless of the operation sequence (called the pressing sequence) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c, and the push sequence bell combination is a specific combination. It is a small role that the combination of corresponding symbols (“bell-bell-bell”) stops by following the pressing order.

Further, the push order bell combination has one of the six push orders (for example, “5a→5b→5c”, “5c→5b→5a”, etc.) By operating the stop buttons 5a to 5c, there are provided six push-order bell combinations 1 to 6 in which a corresponding symbol combination (“bell, bell, bell”) is stopped and displayed. When the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated by the other five pressing orders (pressing orders other than the specific pressing order), such pressing order bell combinations 1 to 6 correspond to a combination of corresponding symbols ("bell. "Bell-Bell") is not stopped and displayed, and other combinations of symbols such as "Bell-Bell-Replay" (called "Bell-Cross Eye") are stopped-displayed.

It should be noted that when the push order bell combination is won, regardless of the stop button 5 to be operated second or third, if only the stop button 5 to be operated first follows a specific push order, it corresponds to the push order bell combination. You may make it stop control of the reel 4 so that the combination of symbols may stop. Further, the push order bells are not limited to six, and three kinds of push order bells 1 to 3 may be provided.

The watermelon part is a small part (rare part) whose corresponding pattern combination is "watermelon watermelon watermelon", and a weak watermelon part that "watermelon watermelon watermelon" stops at the upper line or the lower line, "Watermelon, watermelon, watermelon" has the role of a strong watermelon that stops at the line rising to the right or the line falling to the right.
The cherry role is a small role (rare role) in which the corresponding symbol combination is "cherry/ANY/ANY", and the "cherry" is a weak cherry role in which the left reel 4a is stopped at the upper or lower stage, and "cherry". Has a strong cherry role that stops in the middle of the left reel 4a.

In the replay combination, two replay combinations having different combinations of corresponding symbols are provided, and the combination of the corresponding patterns is a normal replay combination (hereinafter, referred to as replay combination), which is referred to as “replay/replay/replay”. There is a chance replay role (role of chance) called “Replay Bell Bell”.
"Replay Bell Bell" (chance eye) is a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed when the chance replay role is won. As well as the watermelon role and the cherry role, the probability of winning in the internal lottery process is relatively low, as a so-called rare role. It is set.

Also, for the replay combination, the combination of symbols corresponding to "Replay/Replay/Replay" is stopped by one of the six pressing orders as the operating order (pressing order) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c. A push order replay role is provided. The push order replay combination is provided with the push order replay combinations 1 to 6 corresponding to each of the six push sequences, and the notification of the push sequence corresponding to each of the push order replay combinations 1 to 6 is given by ART. It is performed during the state (including the AT state).
As the replay combination, a common replay combination having no push order may be provided.

Further, the main control device 10 can change the winning probability of winning the replay combination as the first lottery result, and a non-RT (replay winning low probability state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is low. It is possible to control to RT (replay winning high probability state, high probability game state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination is high.
That is, the main control device 10 as the specific game state control means can control the specific game state (ART state) by the high-probability game state (RT) in which the probability that the lottery result of the lottery means becomes the first lottery result is increased. There is.

Then, the replay combination (push-order replay combination) includes a promotion replay combination corresponding to a combination of symbols relating to the transition from non-RT to RT, and a falling replay combination corresponding to a combination of symbols relating to the transition from RT to non-RT. Is set. The push order is also associated with these winning combinations, and, for example, regarding the promotion replay combination, one of the 6 press orders corresponds to the promotion replay combination relating to the transition from non-RT to RT. The combination of symbols is stopped, and for the falling replay combination, the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination related to the transition from RT to non-RT is stopped by the pressing order of 5 out of the 6 pressing orders.
In addition, when the push order bell combination is won during the RT, when the push order operation other than the specific push order for stopping the combination of the symbols corresponding to the selected push order bell combination is performed, RT is set to non-RT. You may make it stop the combination of the symbols to shift to.

Further, the main control device 10 and the sub-control device 20 are capable of generating an AT (assist time) state as a game state relating to a push order bell combination or a push order replay combination. When the push order bell combination or the push order replay combination is won, the AT notifies the push order of the selected push order bell combination or the push order replay combination by the main display 8 and the navigation lamp 12 (executes the push order navigation). ) Is in a state.
Therefore, when the promotion replay role is won during AT, the pushing order corresponding to the winning promotion replay combination is notified, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to the promotion replay combination is stopped, the process proceeds to RT. However, by continuing the AT state even during this RT, the game state becomes the ART state in which the replay winning probability state and the state in which the pushing order navigation is performed overlap.

Also, in the ART state, when winning the fall replay combination, the push order navigation is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the fall replay combination does not stop, and RT shifts to non-RT during the ART state. Is prevented.
Then, after the condition for ending the ART state is satisfied, when the AT state ends, when the winning of the falling replay combination is achieved, the push order navigation is not performed so that the combination of the symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination does not stop, and the falling falls. Stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination causes RT to shift to non-RT.

In addition, in the continuation of ART state, if you win the fall replay combination, the stop operation is accidentally fallen even though the push order navigation is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the fall replay combination does not stop. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination is stopped, RT will shift to non-RT, but unless the ending condition of the ART state is satisfied, the replay is promoted again by continuing the AT state. The push order navigation is performed for the winning combination, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the promoted replay winning combination is stopped again, so that the game transitions to the RT again.

The bonus combination is a special combination that makes the combination of the corresponding symbols (special mode) “7,7,7” and generates a bonus state advantageous to the player.
When the bonus combination is won, the winning state of the bonus combination is carried over until the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped.

Based on the combination of symbols as described above, the winning of the small combination, the replay combination, and the bonus combination is determined (determination means). As a result of the determination, the combination of the symbols is the combination of the symbols corresponding to each of the above. At times, a prize is established and a game value corresponding to the establishment of each prize is given.
For example, by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small winning combination such as the winning combination of the bell, the cherry, and the watermelon, the winning of the small winning combination is determined, and the medal payout device 7 is drive-controlled to turn the medal payout opening 7b on. A predetermined number of medals are paid out through.

Specifically, in the bell combination (common bell combination, push order bell combination), when the corresponding symbol combination is stopped and displayed, eight medals are paid out.
Further, when the push order bell combination is won, when the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in a push order (five different push orders) other than a specific push order, no medals are paid out.
The bell combination is set to a winning probability such that the number of medals held by the player increases in the ART state described later.

Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination of the weak watermelon and the combination of the strong watermelon is stopped and displayed, two medals are paid out.
Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the weak cherry combination and the strong cherry combination is stopped and displayed, one medal is paid out.
The number of medals to be paid out when the symbol combination corresponding to each combination is stopped and displayed may be other than the above-mentioned number.

In addition, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination and the chance replay combination determines the replay combination and the chance replay combination, and without inserting a medal in the next game (without setting the bet number), the previous game It is possible to play a game with the same bet number as set in.
Further, by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the promoted replay combination, it shifts to RT in which the winning probability of the replay combination is increased, and during RT, the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination stops and shifts to non-RT.

In addition, by the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination (special mode), a transition to a bonus state advantageous to the player is made.
During the bonus state, a predetermined small winning combination (for example, common bell winning combination) is highly likely to be won, and ends when the number of paid out medals exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 200 medals).

In addition, the winning probability of each role excluding the bonus role is, in each set value, the relationship of Bell role> Replay role> Weak cherry role> Weak watermelon role> Chance replay role> Strong cherry role> Strong watermelon role, that is, Bell It is assumed that the winning combination is the easiest to win, and the strong watermelon winning combination is the most difficult to win. Also, the winning combination of the bonus combination is set to be lower than that of the small combination or the replay combination. The relationship of the winning probabilities of each role other than the bonus role may be other than the above, and especially during RT, the replay role>bell role>weak cherry role>weak watermelon role>chance replay role>strong cherry role. > The relationship may be that of a strong watermelon.
In addition, the weak cherry role, the weak watermelon role, the chance replay role, the strong cherry role, and the strong watermelon role are called rare roles in the sense that they are difficult to win.

Next, a game flow of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a game state in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.
The main controller 10 and the sub controller 20 can control the slot machine 1 to a plurality of gaming states, various processes in each gaming state, control of transition between gaming states (hereinafter also simply referred to as "transition"), etc. Is performed as follows.

As shown in FIG. 3, the game of the slot machine 1 of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of game states of a normal game state, a bonus state, a CZ state, and an ART state. The main control device 10 and the sub control device 20 can be controlled so as to shift from one gaming state to another gaming state based on the satisfaction of a predetermined shift condition.
In the normal gaming state, the bonus state, and the CZ state, it is controlled to be non-RT. Although the AT is controlled during the ART state, the AT may be controlled during the CZ state.

The game of the slot machine 1 has a normal section and an advantageous section. These sections are divided according to the game state, and further divided according to the winning state for the game state advantageous to the player such as the ART state.
A normal probability state and a high probability state are set, as will be described later, in the winning state for the game state that is advantageous to the player.
The normal section is a section in which the game can be played in the normal gaming state, and includes a section in which the game can be played in the normal probability state of the ART state in the normal gaming state.
After shifting from the normal section to another gaming state, the advantageous section continues to stay until it returns to the normal section again.

The advantageous section includes a bonus state, a CZ state, a precursor state of the CZ state, a high-probability state of the ART state, a precursor state of the ART state, and a playable section in the ART state. The control unit 25b counts (counts) the number of games continuously executed while staying in the advantageous section. When the gaming state is in the advantageous section, the advantageous section lamp 13 is turned on.
The advantageous zone lamp 13 may be turned on only while the player can actually recognize that the state is advantageous, such as the CZ state, the ART state, and the bonus state. For example, the advantageous zone lamp 13 may not be turned on during the high probability state of the ART state.

After moving to the advantageous section, in order to end the advantageous section, in addition to the case of shifting to the normal section due to the lottery result of the game, etc., "the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section has reached a predetermined number" or "the advantageous section" The condition that any one of the conditions that "the number of medals acquired in the inside reaches a predetermined number" is set, and the number of medals that can be acquired in a series of advantageous sections consisting of each state specified as an advantageous section is limited. (So-called limiter) is provided.

In addition, the above-described termination condition of the advantageous section is an example, and may include, for example, “at least one push-order bell is notified”. Further, the end condition of the advantageous section is, for example, "a combination of symbols corresponding to a bonus combination is stopped and displayed", "a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination of a first-class special accessory (so-called regular bonus)" "Is displayed as a stop" or the like may be included. Further, the upper limit of the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section may be any number such as 1000 times or 1500 times, and the upper limit of the number of medals to be acquired is an arbitrary number such as 1000 or 2400. Any number may be used as long as it is.

Next, each game state (normal game state, CZ state, ART state, bonus state) executed by the control of the main control device 10 and the sub-control device 20, transition processing between the game states, and accompanying transition processing Various effects and the like to be performed will be described in detail for each game state.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the transition time from each game state to another game state is basically after the third reel stop operation of the game in which the transition condition is satisfied (or after the payout of medals). Is. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transition from the next game may be performed after the transition condition is satisfied. It should be noted that the type of RT changes depending on the promotion replay or the like even during the stay in the same gaming state, but is basically set as follows.
Further, examples of the effect include an ART precursor effect (ART gasse precursor effect), a continuous effect, a winning effect, and the like, which will be described later. The notification of the award of the privilege by the light emission from the lamp 11 and the prior notification before the award of the privilege are provided, and the player's expectation for the award is increased.

(Normal game state)
The type of RT in the normal gaming state is basically non-RT. That is, the normal gaming state is a gaming state in which it is easy to stay in the non-RT. Therefore, the game in the normal game state is disadvantageous to the player.
As shown in FIG. 3, the main control device 10 performs a lottery process for shifting to the CZ state, the ART state, and the bonus state while staying in the normal game state. Depending on the specifications of the slot machine 1 and the like, the normal gaming state may not be directly shifted to the ART state.

・Transition process from normal game state to ART state (arrow a in FIG. 3)
In the normal game state, the determination result by the main control device 10 as the grant determination means is a specific game as a privilege (specific privilege) based on the fact that the specific determination result is satisfied as the establishment of a predetermined special condition. A state (ART state) is given.

More specifically, the lottery means provided in the grant determination means performs the lottery process for shifting to the ART state based on the winning of a predetermined rare combination as the specific lottery result. For example, the transition process to the ART state is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 20%) at the time of winning the chance. When the transition condition to the ART state is satisfied, the basic game state is controlled by the AT, the promotion replay combination is won, and when the combination of the symbols corresponding to the promotion replay combination is stopped, the transition is made to the ART state. In addition, an initial game number (for example, 50 games) is given to the player as the executable game number in the ART state.
That is, the main control device 10 is provided with a specific game state control means for controlling the game state to an ART state as a specific game state for informing the player of an advantageous operation mode based on the establishment of a predetermined special condition. It is configured.

It should be noted that the transition to the ART state may be performed by means other than the drawing of the rare combination by the drawing means. That is, the grant determination means may determine the transition to the ART state when the winning of the predetermined combination (for example, the bell combination) has reached the predetermined number of times, or the game executed after the end of the previous ART state. The transition to the ART state may be determined when the number reaches a predetermined number.
Further, the main control device 10 manages the continuation of the ART state depending on the presence or absence of the number of games given by the transition of the ART state. However, a set that can execute a predetermined number of games at the time of the transition of the ART state. It is also possible to add a number and manage the continuation of the ART state depending on the presence or absence of the set number.
Further, in the present embodiment, the winning combination in the ART state is mainly set to the chance combination and the strong/weak watermelon combination, but the ART state may be generated when other combinations are selected.

When winning the transition to the ART state, a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) for notifying that the player will finally transition to the ART state in order to increase the player's expectation for the transition to the ART state. The ART warning effect is executed on the main display 8. Therefore, even if the player wins the transition lottery to the ART state, the state does not immediately shift to the ART state, and the shift is delayed by the number of precursor games.

During the ART precursor effect, the main display 8 is switched to an image of a stage having a background different from that in the normal game state, and an image effect in which the appearing character performs an operation different from that in the normal game state is executed. .. For example, an effect in which a character proceeds through a cave is performed through a plurality of games. The contents of these effects do not change even after the end of one game. For example, even if the screen is switched due to occurrence of various events in a predetermined game, the contents of the effect of the character moving through the cave are not changed and are continuously performed in the next game. Therefore, the ART precursor effect is a series of effects (first effect) that are executed (spanned) over a plurality of games.

In addition, even if you have won a rare role (for example, a chance role) that triggers the transition to the ART state, but you did not win the transition lottery to the ART state, the final result is the same as when you won the ART state. A predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) that indicate that the game does not shift to the ART state is executed on the main display unit 8. Basically, the ART aura effect and the ART gaze aura effect consist of a series of effects (first effect) over a plurality of similarly set image effects (stage or characters that appear), and finally notify. By changing the contents to be played, it is possible to attract the expectation of the player to the end.
That is, the sub-control device 20 is provided with a first effect control means for executing, as an effect, a first effect (ART precursor effect or ART precursor effect effect) over a plurality of games based on the determination result by the grant determining means. Becomes

In addition, in the ART warning sign effect and the ART warning sign warning effect, it is informed whether or not to finally shift to the ART state. In this case, on the main display 8, a few games before the last game of the sign warning effect (( For example, continuous effects (continuous effects) are executed from two games before. The continuous effect is executed, for example, in a battle effect including images in which the main character and the enemy character battle each other for a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games).

In the continuous effect, an image effect in which the main character and the enemy character repeatedly attack and defense is executed for each game, and the effect content of each game is carried over to the next game. For example, when the main character given in a predetermined game suffers damage, the effect is carried out so that the damage is carried over to the next game.
In addition, depending on whether or not there is a transition of the ART state that is determined in advance, the offensive and defensive states of the main character and the enemy character in each game are set, and when transitioning to the ART state, the main character is It is set to increase the number of games that attack.
That is, the continuous effect is a series of effects (first effect) that are executed (spanned) over a plurality of games.

When the player has won the ART state (in the case of ART precursor effect), the image in which the hero character finally wins is displayed as an image for notifying the winning of the ART state, and the player has not won the ART state. In the case of the ART gauze signage effect, an image in which the main character is finally defeated is displayed as an image for notifying that the ART state is not won.
It should be noted that instead of the continuous effect, an effect that is completed only in the final game of the ART warning effect and the ART warning warning effect may be executed, and the notification of the transition to the ART state may be given based on the effect result.

Further, the ART aura effect and the ART gasse aura effect may be generated immediately when a rare combination that triggers the transition to the ART state is won, or may occur after a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games) have been executed. It may be allowed to. Further, the ART gust warning effect may be generated without fail when a rare combination that triggers the transition to the ART state is won, or may be generated with a predetermined probability. Further, the number of games of the ART aura effect and the ART gaze aura effect may be any number of games, or may be selectively determined from a plurality of games (for example, 25 to 35 games).

Further, in the normal game state, there are a normal probability state and a high probability state in which the winning probability states for the ART state are different. The probability of winning the transition to the ART state is higher in the high-probability state than in the low-probability state, and the transition of the probability state is, for example, 30% of the probability when the weak watermelon role is elected, and the normal probability state. Is controlled to shift from the high probability state to the high probability state. On the other hand, as a predetermined fall condition, for example, control is performed to shift from a high-probability state to a low-probability state with a probability of 5% at the time of winning the replay role, at the time of winning the bell role, and at the time of losing.

The winning probability in the ART state is set, for example, with a probability of 20% at the time of winning the chance role in the normal probability state, and is set with a probability of 50% at the time of winning the chance role in the high probability state.
In the probability setting device 14, if the winning probability of the bonus combination is changed or the system of the main controller 10 is reset, the game can be started in the normal probability state, but the probability setting device 14 It is also possible to start the game in a high-probability state with a predetermined probability for each set value in.

・Transition process from normal game state to CZ state (arrow c in FIG. 3)
In the normal game state, the main control device 10 performs a lottery process for shifting to the CZ state based on winning a predetermined rare combination. For example, a transition process to the CZ state is performed with a predetermined probability when a weak cherry combination or a strong cherry combination is won. The condition for shifting to the CZ state is that the player has won this transition lottery.

In the normal gaming state, the winning probability state of the CZ state may be changed by the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20. In addition, notification control may be performed for the winning probability state. When performing the notification control, the player does not directly notify each probability state, but changes the display content of the main display 8 to indicate which state the probability state is at that time. You may make it predictable.

In addition, when winning the transition lottery to the CZ state, a warning sign that the precursor state of the CZ state is set in order to increase the player's expectation for the transition to the CZ state, and the final transition to the CZ state is informed A continuous effect in a CZ state for a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games) to be executed is executed on the main display 8. Therefore, even if the player wins the transition lottery to the CZ state, it does not immediately shift to the ART state but shifts to the CZ state through the CZ continuous effect.

In addition, even if the player has won a predetermined rare role (for example, a strong cherry role) but does not win the transition lottery to the CZ state, a predetermined number of games for notifying that the CZ state will not be finally transitioned (for example, 3 games) CZ gaze continuous effect is executed on the main display 8. In the CZ continuous production and the CZ gase continuous production, the characters and the like that appear basically are set in the same manner, and by making the contents to be finally notified different, the player's expectation can be drawn to the end. It is like this.

In the CZ continuous production (CZ continuous production), for example, an image production in which a character challenges a sports competition is executed through each game. During the CZ continuous production (CZ Gase continuous production), sports competitions are continuously executed through the game during that period, and if the CZ state is won, the competition finally succeeds (for example, a goal is succeeded in soccer). However, when the CZ state is not won, an image effect that fails the competition is executed.
That is, the continuous CZ effect (continuous CZ effect) is a series of effects (first effect) that are executed (spanned) over a plurality of games.
It should be noted that during the CZ continuous production (CZ gase continuous production), any one may be used as long as a series of productions are executed (spanned) over a plurality of games, and like the continuous production in the ART state described above, It may be a battle production by a character.

・Transition process from normal game state to bonus state (arrow f in FIG. 3)
The main control device 10 as the grant determination means also has a function of determining whether or not to generate a bonus state, and based on the determination result by the grant determination means being a special determination result, a special privilege is given. The bonus status is given as.
More specifically, the lottery means provided in the grant determination means performs the lottery of the bonus combination with a predetermined probability based on the execution of the game, and the lottery result becomes the winning of the bonus combination (special lottery result). In that case, a bonus state is generated.
That is, the main control device 10 is in a bonus game state as a special game state in which the control related to the lottery of the lottery means for a predetermined period is advantageous to the player, provided that the lottery result of the lottery means is the special lottery result. Special game state control means for controlling the state will be configured.

The lottery probability value of the bonus combination can be controlled by a plurality of levels of probability values (for example, 1/250 of setting 1 to 1/200 of setting 6) according to settings 1 to 6 that can be set by the probability setting device 14. When a bonus combination is won by a lottery based on the probability value set by the probability setting device 14, it is possible to stop the combination of symbols (“7,7,7”) corresponding to the winning combination on the reel 4, When the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped by the player's operation, the process of shifting to the bonus state is performed.
Therefore, even if the bonus combination is won, the state is not immediately shifted to the bonus state, but is shifted to the bonus state via the bonus winning state in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination can be stopped. This transition mode is the same even when a bonus combination is won in a gaming state other than the normal gaming state.

Further, when the bonus combination is won, the main display 8 informs that the bonus combination has been won. However, the notification is not made immediately, and a predetermined notification that the bonus combination is finally won is given. After the bonus generation effect of the number of games (for example, 3 games) is executed on the main display unit 8, by notifying the winning of the bonus combination, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for winning the bonus combination. There is.
That is, the sub-control device 20 and the main display 8 are based on that the lottery result by the main control device 10 as the lottery means has become the special lottery result, as a predetermined notification related to the special lottery result, a bonus generation effect, A bonus unit is configured to notify the winning of the bonus combination, and when the lottery result in the predetermined game is a special lottery result, the bonus combination is notified as a predetermined notification after the next game of the game. The first notification means for executing the winning notification is configured.

In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a game in which a bonus combination has not been won, a bonus gust generation effect similar to the bonus generation effect with a predetermined probability is finally provided as an effect to notify that the bonus role has not been won. It is displayed on the main display 8.
For example, in a game in which a bonus combination is not won, if a bonus gaze generation effect is generated with a probability equal to the winning probability of the bonus combination, when the generated effect is displayed, the degree of expectation for winning the bonus combination is increased. It can be set to about 50%, and the degree of expectation of the player can be changed by adjusting the occurrence probability of the bonus gasse occurrence effect.

The bonus generation effect and the bonus gratification generation effect are executed, for example, as a battle effect including images in which the main character and the enemy character compete for a predetermined number of games (for example, three games). Therefore, the bonus generation effect (bonus gust generation effect) is executed with the same effect contents as the continuous effect in the ART state described above.

That is, the bonus generation effect (bonus gase generation effect) is a series of effects (first effect) that are executed (spanned) over a plurality of games.
When the bonus combination has been won (in the case of a bonus generation effect), an image in which the main character finally wins is displayed as an image for notifying the winning of the bonus combination, and the bonus combination has not been won. In the case of the bonus gazette generating effect, an image in which the main character is finally defeated is displayed as an image notifying that the bonus combination is not won.

It should be noted that the winning of the bonus combination is not only a single winning of the bonus combination but also a part of a case where a predetermined small combination (for example, a chance role or a strong cherry combination) is won, and the bonus combination may be double-winned. Good. In this case, if the bonus combination is not won even if the player wins the predetermined small role, if the bonus gazette production effect is finally issued to notify that the bonus role has not been won, the fun of the game will be improved. It becomes possible to improve the sex.
In addition, during the bonus generation effect (bonus gase occurrence effect), any one may be used as long as a series of effects is executed (spanned) over a plurality of games, and an effect different from the continuous effect in the ART state is executed. You may do so.
Further, although the bonus generation effect (bonus gratification occurrence effect) and the continuous effect in the ART state can execute the effect pattern being effected in a plurality of modes, they may be executable in exactly the same effect pattern. However, some or all may be executable with different effect patterns.

(CZ state)
The RT type in the CZ state is basically non-RT. In the CZ state, the push order navigation is not performed when the push order bell combination or the push order replay combination is won, but the push order navigation may be controlled only when the push order bell combination is won. In addition, since the ART transition lottery processing (described later) is performed in each game during the stay in the CZ state, it is easier to transition to the ART state than during the stay in the normal gaming state. Therefore, in the series of game flows, the CZ state is positioned more advantageously than the normal game state.

During the stay in the CZ state, the CZ state is positioned as a chance zone in a series of game flows because it is easier to shift to the ART state than during the stay in the normal gaming state.
The maximum number of times the game can be played in the CZ state is 10.
Note that in the CZ state, even if a promotion replay combination is won, the pushing order is not notified, so non-RT is basically maintained.
In the CZ state, the main control device 10 transmits control information regarding the CZ state to the sub control device 20, and the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20 control the main display device 8 to display the CZ state. Various effects and the number of remaining games are displayed on the main display 8.

・Transition process from CZ state to ART state (arrow e in FIG. 3)
In the CZ state, ART transfer lottery processing is performed in each game.
The winning probability of the ART transfer lottery process is set according to the winning combination of each game. The winning probability of the ART transition lottery process is, for example, 100% when the bonus role is won, 50% when the rare role is won, 10% when the bell role is won and the replay role is won, and 5% when the lost role is won. The ART transition lottery is performed for each game in the CZ state, but the transition to the ART state is performed in the final game in the CZ state, and when the transition to the ART state is notified in the final game, the normal game is performed. As in the case of the state, the game state will shift to the ART state.
Since the ART transfer lottery is executed at the time when each winning combination is internally won, the ART transfer lottery is executed even when the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the reel 4 (at the time of missing).

The winning probability of the ART transition lottery process for some or all of the winning combinations may be other than the above. Further, although the ART transition lottery process is performed when the bell combination is won, the ART transition lottery process may be performed based on that the symbol corresponding to the bell combination is won. Further, when the bonus combination is won, the probability setting device 14 increases the player's expectation by making a transition to the ART state after the bonus state ends with a probability of 100%. With respect to the changeable bonus combination, the ART transition lottery process may not be performed so that the profit balance between the game shop and the player is not greatly disturbed.

Further, in the CZ state, the CZ effect in which a predetermined character appears is displayed on the main display 8 in order to enhance the interest of the game. In the CZ effect, an image effect in which the main character prepares for a battle is displayed during the first several games (for example, 7 games), and during the last several games in the CZ state (for example, 3 games), An image effect in which the main character and the enemy character compete with each other is displayed as a series of effects (first effects) over (spanning) a plurality of games. Then, if the player has won the ART transition lottery, it is notified that the main character wins the final game and transitions to the ART state.
Further, in the CZ state, the background during the battle preparation effect and the offensive/defense content during the battle effect change according to the winning content of the game executed during that time, and the expectation for the transition to the ART state changes. To give. Further, the number of remaining games in the CZ state is displayed on the main display 8, and the number of remaining games is subtracted each time the game is executed.
Further, even during the preparatory production before the battle production in the CZ production, the image production in which the main character prepares for the battle is continuously executed through each game, so that a plurality of games are spread (straddled) during the preparatory production. It will be a series of productions.

・Transition process from CZ state to normal game state (arrow d in FIG. 3)
When the ART transition lottery is not won in the CZ state, after the number of games in the CZ state is executed, the game state is shifted to the normal game state. At this time, in the CZ effect, it is notified that the main character is defeated and does not shift to the ART state.

In addition, at the time of transition from the CZ state to the normal game state, by the control of the main control device 10 and the sub-control device 20, setting related information (setting suggestion information) capable of suggesting the setting value set by the probability setting device 14 is notified. You may notify by means (main display 8, speaker 9). For example, a predetermined character is displayed on the main display 8 out of the plurality of characters. Then, since the character to be displayed is selected according to the selection probability preset according to each setting value of the probability setting device 14, it is possible to predict the setting value to some extent by the displayed character.

・Transition process from CZ state to bonus state (arrow h in FIG. 3)
In the CZ state, a bonus winning lottery is performed for each game as in the normal gaming state described above. Therefore, the main control device 10 performs the lottery of the bonus combination based on the set value in the probability setting device 14 as in the normal gaming state, and when the bonus combination is won, the symbol corresponding to the bonus combination won in the reel 4 is obtained. The combination (“7/7/7”) can be stopped. At this time, since the transition to the ART state is confirmed, the CZ state ends, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped by the player's operation, the game state transitions to the bonus state.

It should be noted that if a bonus combination is won in the CZ state, it may be possible not to shift to the ART state with a predetermined probability. In this case, the CZ state is temporarily interrupted due to the occurrence of the bonus state, and the CZ state once interrupted. May be returned after the bonus state ends (arrow i in FIG. 3).
When the bonus combination is won in the CZ state, unlike the normal game state, no bonus generation effect is performed, and the main display 8 is informed that the bonus combination is won in the game in which the bonus combination is won. That is, the fact that the bonus combination has been won is notified before the next game of the game that won the bonus combination is started.

(ART state)
The RT type at the time of the first transition to the ART state is basically non-RT, but since it is in the AT state, it is easy to be promoted to RT by winning the promotion replay role. Since the RT state is expected to increase the number of earned medals, the ART state is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state and the CZ state.
During the ART state, the push-order navigation for the push-order replay combination and the push-order bell combination is performed as a notification of an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, so that it becomes easy to maintain RT and obtain medals.
In addition, the winning probability of the push-order replay combination in the ART state is basically a certain probability corresponding to RT.

During the ART state, the continuation of the predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) given at the initial transition of the ART state is managed as the remaining number of games that can be continued in the ART state, and the remaining number of games is subtracted for each game. , The ART state is continued until the number of remaining games is exhausted. Further, the number of remaining games in the ART state is increased by the establishment of a predetermined condition in the ART state, and the duration of the ART state is extended accordingly.
Then, when the number of remaining games is exhausted in the ART state, the ART state is ended.

In the ART state, the main control device 10 transmits control information related to the ART state to the sub control device 20, and the sub display device 20 controls the main display 8 to display images of various effects in the ART state. Display is performed. Further, the number of remaining games in the ART state, the total number of medals acquired in the series of ART states, and the total number of games executed in the ART state are displayed on the main display 8.

In addition, in the ART state, when a predetermined rare role (for example, a weak cherry role, a weak watermelon role, a strong watermelon role, a strong cherry role) is won, an additional lottery for the number of games in the ART state is performed, and an additional lottery is performed. When the player wins, the number of games determined in advance corresponding to the rare role that has triggered the winning is added (added) to the number of remaining games.
Further, when a predetermined rare combination is won, an additional effect for increasing the expectation for adding the number of games is executed on the main display 8. The add-on effect is executed for, for example, 1 to 3 games, and the degree of expectation for the add-on is different depending on the effect content, and the success or failure of the final game of the add-on effect is notified and the number of add-on games is notified. It
When the additional effect is executed by a series of effects (first effect) over a plurality of games, it may be executed by a battle effect as in the continuous effect.

In addition, in the ART state, when a predetermined rare role (for example, a strong cherry role) is won as a specific condition is satisfied, in addition to the additional lottery, the number of games for a specific period (for example, 10 games) is added. It is possible to generate an additional specialized zone that has a higher probability of being generated than other states.
The special addition zone occurs with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%) when a predetermined rare combination (for example, strong cherry combination) is won, and a rare combination or bonus with a low probability of winning in the special addition zone. In addition to the winning combinations, all winning combinations other than the replay winning combinations serve as triggers for addition, and the possibility that a large number of games will be given (added) as a predetermined privilege is increased.

For example, when winning the role of weak cherry, there is a 10% chance to win the bonus in addition to the special zone, but during the special zone of additional bonus, 100% wins the bonus, and when winning the role of strong cherry, the bonus There is a 50% probability that the player will be elected to add to the game except in the specialization zone, but in the specialization zone to be added, control is performed such that 100% of the time to be added is elected. In addition, as for the bonus combination, regardless of whether it is in the specialization zone for addition or not, 100% is selected for addition.

In addition, when a Bell role (common Bell role or push order Bell role) that has no possibility to be added is elected except in the specialization zone, an additional lottery is performed, and when the Bell role is elected, 80% additional prize is won. Control is performed. Therefore, in the additional special zone, control is performed as a predetermined privilege related to the continuation of the ART state so that the probability of winning the additional combination at the time of winning a plurality of winning combinations is increased.
It should be noted that in the specialization zone for addition, even if the player wins the role of bell, it may be possible to win the addition in addition with a probability of 100%.

In addition, in the additional specialization zone, the number of games to be added is also larger than in the non-additional specialization zone. For example, when the weak cherry role is won, the number of games is 10 except in the additional specialization zone Will be added, but the number of games of 20 games will be added in the specialization zone, and when winning the strong cherry and bonus roles, the number of games of 20 games will be added except in the specialization zone. Control is performed so that the number of games of 50 games is added during the specialization zone. Therefore, in the additional special zone, as a predetermined privilege related to the continuation of the ART state, control is performed so that the number of games to be added when the additional prize is won increases.

That is, the main control device 10 as the specific game state control means, based on the satisfaction of the specific condition in the ART state as the specific game state, a predetermined period related to the continuation of the specific game state for a specific period (for example, 10 games). The bonus game state control means for controlling the game state is provided in the additional special zone as the bonus game state in which the privilege can be given.

Further, when the main controller 10 wins the falling replay combination in the additional special zone, if the combination of the symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination is stopped due to an erroneous operation of the player, the RT The state is changed to the non-RT state, but the additional special zone is maintained as it is and continued until the prescribed number of games (10 games) is completed.

During the additional specialization zone, an image in which the main character and the enemy character face each other is displayed on the main display 8 by the control of the sub-control device 20 based on the signal from the main control device 10, and the main character is unilateral for each game. The production is performed as if to attack. Then, the main character attacks according to the execution of the game, the attack fails if not added, the attack succeeds if added, and the number of additional games determined according to the lottery of the game is notified. To be done.
As described above, when the additional specialization zone is being executed, a series of effects in which the main character repeatedly attacks during the execution (for example, for 10 games) are executed, and by the end of the additional specialization zone, After a series of effects is completed, the original image in the ART state is restored.

In addition, when a predetermined rare role that is a trigger for generating the additional specialization zone is won, the additional specialization zone may be generated immediately from the next game, or may be generated after a predetermined number of games have been executed. You may do it.
In addition, when the additional special zone is generated after the predetermined number of games have been executed, the additional special zone is controlled by the sub-control device 20 after winning the predetermined rare combination that is the trigger for the additional special zone. The additional special zone generation effect may be performed in order to increase the expectation for the occurrence of. The additional special zone generation effect is executed for, for example, one to three games, and the degree of expectation for the additional special zone is different according to the contents of the effect. It is preferable that the notification is performed.

Further, when the additional special zone generation effect is executed by a series of effects over a plurality of games, it may be executed by the battle effect as in the continuous effect.
In addition, the additional winning probability and the number of additional games at the time of winning each role in the additional specialization zone may be other than the above, and it is more advantageous for the player to add in the additional specialization zone than in the additional specialization zone. Any one may be used as long as it is controlled.

However, when the replay role is won in the additional special zone, additional lottery is not performed. This is a disadvantage to the player even if the player mistakenly performs a stop operation to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay role in the additional special zone in the RT state. This is to prevent that. That is, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination is stopped, the additional specialized zone becomes a non-RT state, and the winning probability of the replay combination is reduced. When it is set as a trigger for addition, the number of winnings of the replay combination, which is a trigger for addition, decreases due to the transition to the non-RT state, resulting in an extremely disadvantageous state for the player. In the present embodiment, such a situation can be prevented.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the addition triggering role in the additional specialization zone is set to a combination (for example, a Bell combination) for which the winning probability is always constant. It is possible to prevent a particular player from being extremely disadvantageous, and it is possible to generate an additional specialization zone with high expectations and interest for all players.

・Transition process from ART state to normal game state (arrow b in FIG. 3)
In the ART state, when the number of remaining games for continuing the ART state is exhausted, the ART state ends and the game state shifts to the normal game state.
When the ART state shifts to the normal game state, the winning probability state of the ART state is controlled to be the normal probability state. At this time, each time the probability setting device 14 is set, a high probability state may be set with a predetermined probability.
Further, when shifting to the high-probability state after the ART state is ended, the limitation control may be performed by the above-described limiting means during the high-probability state, but the limitation control is performed during the high-probability state. If so, the state is changed to the normal probability state.

・Transition process from ART state to bonus state (arrow k in FIG. 3)
In the ART state, a bonus combination lottery is performed for each game as in the normal game state and the CZ state described above. Therefore, the main control device 10 performs the lottery of the bonus combination based on the set value in the probability setting device 14 similarly to the normal gaming state and the CZ state, and when the bonus combination is won, the bonus combination corresponding to the reel 4 is won. The combination of the symbols (“7,7,7”) can be stopped. At this time, the ART state is temporarily interrupted, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination is stopped by the player's operation, the game state shifts to the bonus state. The ART state once suspended will be restored after the bonus state ends.

In addition, when the bonus combination is won in the ART state, the bonus generation effect of a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games) for notifying that the bonus combination is finally won is executed on the main display 8 and the player The expectation for winning the bonus role is increased.
When a bonus combination is won in the ART state, a predetermined number of games may be added (added) to the number of remaining games in the ART state.

(Bonus status)
In the bonus state, the control related to the lottery of the lottery means is advantageous to the player, specifically, the lottery of the bell role is performed with a high probability in each game, and the player can obtain many medals It becomes a state. Also, as described above, when the bonus combination in the CZ state is won, the ART state transition lottery is performed, but when the bonus role in the normal game state is elected, the ART state transition lottery is also performed with a predetermined probability. You can However, the transition lottery in the ART state is not performed in the game from the winning of the bonus combination to the occurrence of the bonus state (during the bonus winning state). The ART state transition lottery may be performed for each game executed in the bonus state.
In addition, control information relating to the bonus state is transmitted from the main control device 10 to the sub control device 20, and under the control of the sub control device 20, various effects in the bonus state, information about the number of acquired cards, and the like are displayed on the main display 8. The image is displayed.

・Transition process from bonus state to normal game state (arrow g in FIG. 3)
During the bonus state, the control related to the lottery of the lottery means described above is performed for a predetermined period of time so as to be advantageous to the player, and as a result, the number of paid out medals reaches a predetermined number (for example, 200). In this case, the bonus state ends, and the gaming state shifts from the bonus state to the normal gaming state.
Further, at the end of the bonus state, an ending state for a predetermined period (for example, 5 seconds) is set, and during the ending state, it is set by the probability setting device 14 under the control of the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20. The setting unit notifies the setting related information that can suggest the setting value. For example, a predetermined image is displayed on the main display 8 and a predetermined sound is output from the speaker 9.

When the bonus state shifts to the normal game state, the winning probability state of the ART state is controlled to be the normal probability state. At this time, each time the probability setting device 14 is set, a high probability state may be set with a predetermined probability.
Further, when shifting to the high-probability state after the bonus state ends, there is a possibility that the limiting control by the above-described limiting means is performed during the high-probability state, but the limitation control is performed during the high-probability state. If so, the state is changed to the normal probability state.

・Transition process from bonus state to ART state (arrow j in FIG. 3)
As conditions for shifting from the bonus state to the ART state, there are cases where the bonus combination is won during the CZ state and cases where the bonus combination is won during the ART state.
When the number of paid-out medals reaches a predetermined number (for example, 200 coins) in the bonus state after shifting from the CZ state or the ART state, the bonus state ends and the gaming state shifts from the bonus state to the ART state. To be done. At this time, in the case of the transition from the CZ state, the ART state is started from the initial state, but in the case of the transition from the ART state, the ART state is restarted from the state at the time of the interruption. .. Therefore, the ART state is restarted from the number of remaining games in the set number when the ART state was interrupted. In addition, the number of medals acquired becomes the total number of them when the ART state and the bonus state occur consecutively. Therefore, when the ART state is restarted, the number of medals obtained during the bonus state is added to obtain the number of medals. Is displayed.

Further, the ending period of the predetermined period is set even at the end of the bonus state after the transition from the ART state, and during the ending period, it is set by the probability setting device 14 under the control of the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20. The setting means notifies the setting related information capable of suggesting the setting value. For example, a predetermined image capable of suggesting the set value is displayed on the main display 8, and a predetermined sound capable of suggesting the set value is output from the speaker 9.
As described above, the game state is changed in the slot machine 1.

Next, the stage transfer lottery on the main display 8 will be described.
In the main controller 10 of the slot machine 1, as described above, regarding the lottery of the ART state in the normal game state, when the predetermined rare combination is won, the transition probability of the ART state is a relatively low probability state. , The ART state lottery control is performed in either of the relatively high and high probability states.

Further, the sub control device 20 controls the display of the stage on the main display 8 based on the information from the main control device 10 that can specify the normal probability state and the high probability state.
That is, the sub-control device 20 controls the image of the stage on the main display 8 based on the control information from the main control device 10 that performs management control of the normal probability state and the high-probability state. It is done.
The stage displayed on the main display unit 8 is composed of a background image, an image of a appearing character, etc., and a plurality of different background images and appearing characters are displayed under the control of the sub control device 20 based on the control information from the main control device 10. Any of the stages can be displayed, and the stage to be displayed is selected according to the game state and the probability state.

Therefore, the stage displayed on the main display 8 also serves to notify the gaming state and the probability state (suggestion notification).
Further, a plurality of stages are set in advance during the normal gaming state or the ART state, and any one of the stages A to C is displayed on the main display 8 during the normal gaming state.

The sub-control device 20 performs control to select one of the stages A to C based on the execution of the game. The selection control at this time is the state of the transition lottery probability in the ART state at that time, that is, the normal state. Different selection control is performed depending on whether the probability state or the high probability state.
Therefore, the type of stage displayed on the main display 8 reflects the probability state at that time. However, since the stage is selected by a lottery based on a predetermined probability, it does not reflect the internal probability state as it is, but is performed within a range that the player can estimate to some extent.

The stage transfer lottery, that is, the lottery of whether to move from the current stage to another stage or to maintain the current stage is executed for each game, and the degree of expectation that the game is in the high probability state is high. , Stage A<stage B<stage C. For example, in the normal probability state, stage A has the highest probability of being selected, and then stage B has the highest probability of being selected. The transfer lottery is performed so that the probability that C is selected is the lowest. On the other hand, in the high probability state, the transition lottery is performed such that the probability that the stage C is selected is the highest, the probability that the stage B is selected next is the highest, and the probability that the stage A is selected is the lowest.
As a result of such a stage transition lottery, the degree of expectation that the stage B is in the high probability state is higher than the stage A, and similarly, the stage C is higher than the stage A and the stage B. The degree of expectation of transitioning to a high probability state increases.

In each stage, for example, an effect that the main character is walking in a predetermined place is executed, and the difference between the stages depends on the place where the main character walks, such as a grass field in stage A, a city in stage B, a forest in stage C, or the like. Is notified.
As long as each stage does not move to another stage, the background and the action of the main character have the same content, and they do not change even when the next game is started, so the production for each stage also It can also be regarded as a series of effects (first effect) over a plurality of games.

Next, with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 4, the change of the game state according to the execution of the game and the effect display on the main display 8 under the control of the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20 will be described.
FIG. 4 exemplifies a state in which the game is started from the normal game state in which the probability state is the low probability state. Further, the main display 8 displays the stage A.

As shown in FIG. 4, when a weak watermelon combination is won by executing a predetermined game (second game in FIG. 4) in the normal gaming state (timing t0), there is a predetermined probability of transition to a high probability state. However, if the transition lottery determines the transition to the high-probability state, the probability state is changed to the high-probability state at the start of the next game (third game) (timing t1). The transition to the high-probability state may be performed at the start of the game in which the transition lottery to the high-probability state is performed instead of the next game.

Further, when the game of the third game is executed, the stage transition lottery in the high probability state is performed, it is determined that no stage transition is performed, and the stage transition is not performed.
Then, as a result of the stage transition being determined in the stage transition lottery for the subsequent game execution of the fourth game, the stage displayed on the main display 8 from the stage A to the stage C at the start of the fourth game (timing t2). Will be migrated. In addition, the stage is a lottery result that maintains the stage C until the 12th game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the winning combination is won at the time of executing the tenth game (timing t3), the probability state at this point is a high probability state, and therefore the ART probability is higher than the normal probability state. A state transition lottery is conducted.
By the winning of the chance combination, the ART precursor effect is performed on the main display 8, but the ART precursor effect is performed from the start of the twelfth game (timing t4) by setting a predetermined delay period.
In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, the case where the transition lottery in the ART state is won is shown, but even when the transition lottery in the ART state is not won, the ART display is displayed on the main display 8 by the chance winning. The precursor effect is executed.

The ART precursor effect is performed until the 40th game is executed, but the continuous effects during the ART precursor effect are executed over the three games immediately before the final game. That is, from the start of the 38th game, continuous production is executed on the main display 8 by the battle production in which the main character and the enemy character battle each other.
For example, in each of the 38th to 40th games, a battle image in which either the main character or the enemy character makes an attack is displayed, and after the 40th game, which is the final game of the aura production, is finished, When one of the characters wins, an effect of notifying whether the ART state is hit or not is executed.

In addition, the offensive and defensive image executed for each game during the continuous production should display an image in which the main character is often attacked or the enemy character is hit more heavily when the ART state is won. Thus, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the occurrence of the ART state.

The continuous effect executed at the start of the 38th game (timing t5) ends at a time (timing t6) after a lapse of a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds) from the end of the 40th game, and one of the characters In the example shown in FIG. 4, since the player wins the ART state, the next game is started after a lapse of a predetermined period (for example, 2 seconds) from the end of the 40th game. During the period up to (timing t6 to t7), as the result image of the continuous effect, the character information of "win" and the character information such as "ART confirmed" are displayed together with the image in which the main character wins.
After that, the game state shifts to the ART state from the start of the 41st game (timing t7), and the image in the ART state is displayed on the main display 8.
As described above, the game state is changed and the effect display on the main display 8 is performed according to the execution of the game.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the pattern of the continuous effect executed in the final stage of the ART precursor effect (ART gallant precursor effect) under the control of the sub control device 20 will be described.
The continuous effect is executed by a series of effects over a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games), a battle image in which either the main character or the enemy character is attacking is displayed in each game, and the last game is displayed. After the end, it is composed of a battle effect that informs whether or not a privilege (ART state or the like) is given when any character wins.
In addition, the offensive and defensive images executed for each game during the continuous effect display an image in which, when the ART state is given as a privilege, the main character is often attacked or the enemy character is hit hard. As a result, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for granting a privilege.

The sub-control device 20 stores data relating to pattern A, pattern B, pattern C, and pattern D in which a predetermined image effect (offensive/defensive image) is set in advance for each game as an effect pattern when the continuous effect continues for three games. It is stored in the means, and when executing a continuous effect, one of the effect patterns is selected according to whether or not a privilege is given.
As for the effect pattern of continuous effect, the image effect after each game is set so as to form the relationship of pattern A<pattern B<pattern C<pattern D with respect to the player's expectation regarding the grant of the privilege. .. For example, the pattern D is set to have more image effects than the pattern A in which the main character attacks or gives a great hit to the enemy character.
In addition to changing the content of the above-mentioned offense and defense, each pattern may be made to have different appearing characters or different stages (places) to compete with each other, and the degree of expectation for granting the privilege changes. Any material may be used.

Moreover, although the effect patterns A to D are all effect patterns when three games, which are the main effects of continuous effect, are continued, a pattern E that ends in two games and a pattern F that ends in four games may be provided. Good. Further, the patterns E and F may be set as rare patterns that are selected only when the ART state is won. For example, as will be described later, compared with the selection rate (5%) of the pattern D having a relatively low selection rate which is selected only when the ART state is won, each pattern is selected with a lower selection rate (for example, 2%). You may make it select.

FIG. 5 is, for example, a table of selection ratios of effect patterns when the continuous effect continues for three games, and which of the patterns A to D is used for the continuous effect when the winning trigger combination in the ART state is won. Shows the selectivity of.
First, when the ART state is not won, the probability that the pattern A is selected is 70%, the probability that the pattern B is selected is 20%, the probability that the pattern C is selected is 10%, and the probability that the pattern D is selected is. It is set to 0%, respectively.

Next, when winning the ART state, the probability that the pattern A is selected is 30%, the probability that the pattern B is selected is 40%, the probability that the pattern C is selected is 25%, and the probability that the pattern D is selected is. 5%, respectively.

As a result of selecting the effect pattern of the continuous effect (3 games) when the winning combination in the ART state is won by the selection rate of FIG. 5, when the winning state is in the ART state, it is more than when not winning. Also, the selection control is performed so that the probability that the pattern A or the pattern B is selected becomes low, and conversely, the probability that the pattern C or the pattern D is selected becomes high. Further, since the pattern D is not selected when the ART state has not been won, the winning of the ART state is confirmed when the pattern D is selected.

Since the selection control is performed at the above-described selection rate, the relationship of pattern A<pattern B<pattern C<pattern D is established with respect to the degree of expectation of the ART state.
Note that the selection rate of each pattern may be other than the probabilities shown in FIG. 5, and any probability that forms the relationship of pattern A<pattern B<pattern C<pattern D with respect to the expectation of the ART state You can
Further, a plurality of enemy characters may be set to compete during the continuous production, and the appearance level may be changed by changing the appearing enemy characters according to whether the ART state is right or wrong.
As described above, the selection of the pattern in the continuous effect is performed.

Next, a winning effect will be described as a second effect executed on the main display 8 or the sub display 17 when a rare combination is won.
In the present embodiment, the result of lottery by the lottery means, for example, when a rare combination is won, the main display 8 or the sub-display 17 is controlled by the sub-control device 20 based on the signal from the main control device 10. The winning effect corresponding to the winning combination is executed.

Unlike the above-mentioned continuous effect, the winning effect is basically such that it is completed in one game that wins the role, and in the game, a predetermined image is displayed on the main display 8 or the sub-display 17. Is executed when is displayed. Further, the sound effect from the speaker 9 and the light emission decoration by the lamp 11 are simultaneously performed.
That is, the sub-control device 20 executes the winning effect as the second effect that is completed in the game that derives the determination result, based on the determination result (lottery result) by the grant determination means (lottery means). It will be equipped with.
A plurality of types of patterns 1 to 3 with different images to be displayed are preset in the winning effect, and each pattern is selected and executed according to the winning combination.

The pattern 1 of the winning effect is such that a predetermined character appears on the main display 8 by the execution of the game, and the character takes out and displays some item at the end of the game. In this way, the type of winning combination is notified.
For example, when a replay combination corresponding to a design based on blue is won, the appearing character takes out a blue item to notify that the replay combination has been won.
When the pattern 1 is selected at the time of winning the bonus combination, the item to be taken out is colored in a rainbow color to notify the player that the bonus combination is won in the game in a recognizable manner.

In Pattern 1, the winning effect is executed so that the appearance timing of the character changes according to the winning combination, the winning probability is low, and the winning combination in the bonus or ART state is high. The more it is set, the later the appearance timing is delayed.
For example, when the character appears, when the game is started, when the first stop button 5 is stopped, and when the second stop button 5 is stopped, the replay combination is won. In this case, the mode in which the character appears at the start of the game has the highest selection probability, and the mode in which the character appears at the first stop button 5 stop operation has the next highest selection probability. The selection control is performed so that the appearance probability of the character during the stop operation has the lowest selection probability.

On the other hand, for example, in the case of winning the strong cherry combination, the mode in which the character appears at the time of the stop operation of the second stop button 5 has the highest selection probability, and then the character appears at the time of the stop operation of the first stop button 5. The selection control is performed such that the selected mode has the next highest selection probability, and the mode in which the character appears at the start of the game has the lowest selection probability.
Therefore, in the winning effect of the pattern 1 as the second effect, the start time (timing) of the image effect is set in a plurality of modes, and when the winning effect of the pattern 1 is executed, the character is The later the appearance timing, the higher the expectation for winning a winning combination with a low winning probability or winning a winning combination or a winning combination that may be won in an ART state.

According to the pattern 2 of the winning effect, another screen (small screen) having a smaller area than the screen of the main display 8 in which a predetermined image is displayed is displayed in the screen of the main display 8 at the start of the game. An image effect is set such that a so-called step-up effect is executed such that another screen is enlarged at a predetermined timing.
The size of the different screen is set to be expandable in three stages, and the selection control of the step stage is performed so that the role having a lower winning probability has a larger number of enlargement stages. Then, in the final stage of the step stage, another screen is sized so as to cover the entire screen of the main display unit 8. Therefore, in the final stage of the step stage, if some effect is being performed on the main display unit 8 at that time, the effect previously executed on the main display unit 8 will be interrupted.

In addition, in the step stage of another screen (small screen), control is performed such that it develops according to the degree of expectation for award. For example, when winning the weak cherry role, the selection control is performed so that there are more step steps than when winning the replay role, and when winning the strong cherry role, the weak cherry role is won. The selection control is performed so that the number of step stages is larger than in the case. As a result, as the number of step stages in which another screen expands increases, it is more likely that a winning combination with a higher degree of expectation for a privilege (ART state or bonus state) has been won.
Further, when the pattern 2 is selected at the time of winning the bonus combination, the player is recognizably notified in the image of another screen finally displayed that the bonus combination is won in the game.

Regarding the image displayed in another screen, the basic color of the image in another screen changes from blue to green to red in a stepwise manner as the other screen expands. It is preferable to increase expectations.

The pattern 3 of the winning effect is set as an effect selected when the continuous effect is executed in the next game, and as the effect content, prepare to start the continuous effect in the next game. Images are displayed.
For example, an image is displayed in which the main character appears at the start of the game, the enemy character appears at the end of the game, and the characters to compete with each other before the continuous production (competition production) develops.

Since the continuous production is set so as to extremely enhance the player's expectation for the grant of the privilege, with regard to the pattern 3, it is selected when a winning combination that may be a bonus winning combination is won. Is set to.
Therefore, for example, when it is set that the bonus combination is also won at a predetermined rate when the strong cherry hand is won, the selection control is performed such that the pattern 3 is selected with a predetermined probability when the strong cherry hand is won. When the bonus combination has been won, an image in which the main character wins in the subsequent continuous production is displayed to inform that the bonus combination has been won.

Further, when executing the winning effect, the sub control device 20 can change the execution probability of the winning effect and the selection rate of the type according to the state in which the winning combination is drawn.
Specifically, selection control is performed such that the execution probability of the winning effect and the selection rate of the type are changed during the ART precursor effect (or the ART precursor warning effect) and other states.

It should be noted that when a rare role is won, the winning effect is executed with a high probability, but a predetermined sound effect that allows the player to recognize that a rare role has been won at the start of the game is output from the speaker 9. If it is output, it is possible to give advance notice that the winning effect will start in the game. Therefore, in addition to improving the player's expectation, the player can know in advance which kind of winning effect will be started. It becomes possible to pay attention to, and it becomes possible to enhance the interest of the game.
Further, the end time of the winning effects of patterns 1 to 3 may be the end time of the game in which the predetermined hand is won, that is, the last stop time of the reel 4, or may be continued until the next game starts.

FIG. 6 shows the selection rate of the pattern with respect to the execution of the winning effect under the control of the sub control device 20 as a result of the lottery by the lottery means in a state where the ART precursor effect (or the ART gallant precursor effect) is not executed. ..
As shown in FIG. 6, in a state in which the ART precursor effect (or the ART gasse precursor effect) is not executed, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means, if there is a loss or a push order bell combination, no effect is selected. Each option is selected such that the probability of being selected is 80%, the probability of selecting pattern 1 is 15%, the probability of selecting pattern 2 is 5%, and the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 0%. Such selection control is performed.
Here, when the pattern 1 is selected in the case where the push order bell combination is won, when the push order in which the combination of the symbols corresponding to the push order bell combination is stopped is executed, the character finally plays the bell combination. An image is displayed such that a yellow item corresponding to is displayed, and a white item is displayed when any other pressing order is executed.

When the replay combination is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 70%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 20%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 10%, and pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so that the probability becomes 0%.
When a weak watermelon role is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 70%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 30%, and pattern 3 is selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability of being selected is 0%.

In addition, when the weak cherry combination is won and the bonus combination is not won (when the bonus combination is not double-winned), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 60% probability that the pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 38%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 2%.
In addition, when the weak cherry role is won and the bonus role is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 1% probability that no effect will be selected and a 19% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 30% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 50%.

In addition, when the strong watermelon role is won and the ART state is not won (when there is no overlapping win in the ART state), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 50% probability that the pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 50%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
If the player wins the role of a strong watermelon and wins the ART state as well (when there are multiple winnings in the ART state), there is a 2% chance that no effect will be selected and a 28% chance that the pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 70% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.

In addition, when the strong cherry combination is won and the bonus combination is not won (when the bonus combination is not double-winned), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 30% probability that the pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 60%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 10%.
Also, when a strong cherry hand is won and a bonus hand is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 2% probability that no effect will be selected, and a 8% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 30% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 60%.

In addition, when the winning combination is won and the ART state is not won (when there is no overlapping winning in the ART state), there is a 0% chance that no effect will be selected and a 40% chance that pattern 1 will be selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 60% and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, when the winning combination is won and the ART state is also won (when there is a duplicate winning in the ART state), there is a 1% probability that no effect is selected, a 29% probability that the pattern 1 is selected, and a pattern. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that 2 is selected is 70% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.

In addition, when the bonus combination is independently won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 5%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 15%, and the probability that pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so as to be 80%.

With the selection rate as described above, the winning effect is executed and the pattern is selected in a state where the ART aura effect (or the ART geek aura effect) is not executed, and thus a winning combination with a high winning probability (for example, A winning combination with a lower winning probability (for example, a strong cherry character) has a higher probability of selecting pattern 3 than a replaying character, and conversely, a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry character). Also, the selection control is performed so that the probability of selecting the pattern 1 is higher when the winning combination is a winning combination (for example, the replay combination).
Therefore, when the game is executed, the expectation level for a winning combination of a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry winning combination) is such that there is a relationship of no effect <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 The winning effect will be executed.

Also, when a predetermined rare role (for example, strong/weak cherry role, strong watermelon role, or chance role) is won, there is a possibility that a bonus role or an ART state privilege may be given. The relationship of none <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 also indicates the relationship of the degree of expectation with respect to grant of a privilege.
In addition, when a winning combination that has a possibility of multiple winning with the bonus winning combination (for example, strong/weak cherry winning combination) is selected, pattern 3 may be selected. It has become possible to increase the expectations of people.

Next, FIG. 7 shows the selection rate of the pattern for the execution of the winning effect under the control of the sub-control device 20 as a result of the lottery by the lottery means in the state where the ART gallant precursor effect is being executed.

When the winning effect is executed during the ART gallant sign effect or during the ART sign gallant effect which will be described later, basically, the image of the ART sign gallant effect, or the image of the ART sign gallant effect and the image of the winning effect are executed concurrently. The display control is performed as described above. That is, each effect is executed by displaying the image of the winning effect having a high display priority so as to be overlapped with the image of the ART warning sign effect or in front of the image of the ART predictive effect.
However, regarding the pattern 2 of the winning effect, when the final stage of the step stage is developed, another screen is displayed on the entire screen of the main display unit 8, and thus the final stage effect of the pattern 2 is executed. In such a state, the ART gallant presentation effect is being performed at that point, or the ART aura presentation effect is temporarily interrupted.

Further, even in the state where the ART gallant sign effect is being executed, the transition lottery control in the ART state is continuously performed. At that time, the ART state transition lottery is performed, and when the ART state transition lottery is won, the ART state occurs after a lapse of a predetermined period.
In this case, control is performed such that a new ART precursor effect is started after the occurrence of the ART gust precursor effect that is occurring.

As shown in FIG. 7, in a state where the ART gallant sign effect is being executed, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means, if the player loses or wins the push order bell, the probability that no effect is selected is 70%, Selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability of selecting pattern 1 is 25%, the probability of selecting pattern 2 is 5%, and the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 0%. ..

When the replay combination is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 60%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 25%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 15%, and pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so that the probability becomes 0%.
When a weak watermelon role is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 60%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 40%, and pattern 3 is selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability of being selected is 0%.

Further, when the weak cherry role is won and the bonus role is not won (when there is no overlapping bonus winning combination), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 50% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 50%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, when the weak cherry role is won and the bonus role is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 1% probability that no effect will be selected, and a 39% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 50% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 10%.

If you win the role of a strong watermelon and do not win the transition lottery in the ART state at that time (when there is no duplicate winning in the ART state), there is a 0% chance that no effect will be selected, pattern 1 The selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability that the item is selected is 50%, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 50%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
Also, if you win the role of a strong watermelon, and if you also win the transition lottery in the ART state at that time (if you have multiple winnings in the ART state), there is a 2% chance that no effect will be selected, and pattern 1 is selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability of being selected is 18%, the probability of selecting pattern 2 is 80%, and the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 0%.

In addition, when the strong cherry combination is won and the bonus combination is not won (when the bonus combination is not double-winned), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 30% probability that the pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 70%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
Also, when a strong cherry hand is won and a bonus hand is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 2% probability that no effect will be selected, and a 8% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 28% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 20%.

In addition, when the winning combination is won and the transition drawing in the ART state is not won at that time (when there is no overlapping winning in the ART state), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected, and the pattern 1 is The selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability of being selected is 50%, the probability of selecting pattern 2 is 50%, and the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 0%.
In addition, when the winning combination is won and the transition drawing in the ART state is also won at that time (when there is a double winning in the ART state), the probability that no effect is selected is 1%, and the pattern 1 is selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability of being selected is 19%, the probability of selecting pattern 2 is 80%, and the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 0%.

In addition, when the bonus combination is independently won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 5%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 5%, and the probability that pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so as to be 90%.

At the selection rate as described above, since the winning effect is executed and the pattern is selected in the state where the ART geek predictive effect is being executed, the ART predictive effect (or the ART geek predictive effect) is being executed. As in the absence state, winning a winning combination with a low winning probability (eg, strong cherry) is more likely to select pattern 3 than winning a winning combination (eg, replay). The selection control is performed such that a winning combination of a winning combination having a high winning probability (for example, a replay winning combination) has a higher probability of selecting the pattern 1 than a winning combination having a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry winning combination).
Therefore, when the game is executed, the expectation level for a winning combination of a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry winning combination) is such that there is a relationship of no effect <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 The winning effect will be executed.

Also, when a predetermined rare role (for example, strong/weak cherry role, strong watermelon role, or chance role) is won, there is a possibility that a bonus role or an ART state privilege may be given. The relationship of none <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 also indicates the relationship of the degree of expectation with respect to grant of a privilege.
In addition, when a winning combination that has a possibility of multiple winning with the bonus winning combination (for example, strong/weak cherry winning combination) is selected, pattern 3 may be selected. It has become possible to increase the expectations of people.

However, during the prelude to ART Gase, the selection rate of pattern 3 is set to 0% when a rare role (for example, strong/weak cherry role) that is not double-winned with the bonus role is won. When the continuous effect is executed during the precursory effect, the winning of the bonus combination is confirmed, and the player's expectation can be extremely enhanced.
On the other hand, when a rare role (for example, a strong/weak cherry role) that is double-winned with the bonus role is won, the selection rate of pattern 3 is compared with the state in which the ART precursor effect (ART precursor warning effect) is not executed. And is set to be smaller. This is to prevent the player from paying attention to the precursor effect to prevent the effect from being prolonged and to promptly notify the player that the bonus combination has been won.

In addition, when a winning combination other than a rare winning combination (for example, a replay combination) is won in a state where the ART gallant sign effect is being executed, the probability that the winning effect in any pattern is executed is the ART sign precursor effect. (Alternatively, the selection control is performed so as to be different from the state in which the ART gallant indication effect) is not executed.
Specifically, in the state where the ART gallant precursor effect is being executed, when a winning combination other than a rare combination (for example, a replay combination) is won, the probability that the winning presentation in any pattern is executed is The selection control is performed such that the ART predictive effect (or the ART gallant predictive effect) is higher than in a state in which it is not executed.
As a result, during the ART gallant presentation effect, there is a higher possibility that the winning effect will occur for each game than in the state in which the ART gallant presentation effect (or the ART gallant precursor effect) is not executed, and the player's expectation. It becomes possible to raise.

When a winning combination other than a rare combination (for example, a replay combination) is won in a state where the ART gallant precursor effect is being executed, the probability that the winning effect in any pattern is executed is the ART predictive effect. The selection control may be performed so as to be lower than that in the state where (ART geek warning effect) is not executed.
As a result, when the winning effect is generated during the execution of the game during the sign of ART Gase, the possibility of winning the rare combination is increased, and the player's expectation can be increased.

Next, FIG. 8 shows the result of the lottery by the lottery means and the winning effect in the control of the sub-control device 20 in a state where the ART precursor effect in which the transition to the ART state is confirmed is being executed (during this precursor effect). The selection rate of the pattern with respect to execution is shown.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the state where the ART precursor effect is being executed, if the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a loss or a push order bell combination, the probability that no effect is selected is 70%, and the pattern is Selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability that 1 is selected is 25%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 5%, and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, when the winning combination of the ART state (for example, the strong watermelon role or the chance role) is won again during the ART precursor production, the predetermined number of games at the start of the ART state is determined by a predetermined probability. A lottery will be held to increase the number.

When the replay combination is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 60%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 25%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 15%, and pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so that the probability becomes 0%.
When a weak watermelon role is won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 40%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 60%, and pattern 3 is selected. The selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability of being selected is 0%.

Further, when the weak cherry role is won and the bonus role is not won (when there is no duplicate winning combination), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 40% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 60%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, when the weak cherry role is won and the bonus role is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 1% probability that no effect will be selected and a 19% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 60% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 20%.

If the player wins the role of a strong watermelon and does not win the additional lottery for the initial number of games in the ART state, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that the pattern 1 is selected is 40%, Selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 60% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, if you win the role of a strong watermelon and also win the additional lottery for the initial number of games in the ART state, there is a 2% chance that no effect will be selected, and a 8% chance that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that 2 is selected is 90% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.

Further, when the strong cherry combination is won and the bonus combination is not won (when the bonus combination is not double-winned), there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a 20% probability that the pattern 1 will be selected. %, the probability that the pattern 2 is selected is 80%, and the probability that the pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
Also, when a strong cherry hand is won and a bonus hand is also won (when there are multiple bonus winning combinations), there is a 2% probability that no effect will be selected, and a 8% probability that pattern 1 will be selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 60% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 30%.

In addition, when the winning combination is won and the initial number of games in the ART state is not added to the lottery, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 40%, and the pattern is Selection control is performed such that each option is selected such that the probability that 2 is selected is 60% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.
In addition, when the winning combination of the chance is won and the initial game number in the ART state is also added, the probability of selecting no effect is 1%, the probability of selecting the pattern 1 is 9%, Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 90% and the probability that pattern 3 is selected is 0%.

In addition, when the bonus combination is independently won, the probability that no effect is selected is 0%, the probability that pattern 1 is selected is 5%, the probability that pattern 2 is selected is 5%, and the probability that pattern 3 is selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so as to be 90%.

Since the winning effect and the pattern are selected in the state in which the ART precursor effect is being executed at the selection rate as described above, basically, it is determined that the ART gallant precursor effect is being executed. Similarly, a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry combination) has a higher probability of selecting the pattern 3 than a winning combination with a high winning probability (for example, a replay combination). Selection control is performed so that the winning probability of the pattern 1 is higher when a winning combination (eg, replay combination) with a higher winning probability is selected than in a low winning combination (eg, strong cherry combination).
Therefore, when the game is executed, the expectation level for a winning combination of a winning combination with a low winning probability (for example, a strong cherry winning combination) is such that there is a relationship of no effect <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 The winning effect will be executed.

Also, when a predetermined rare role (for example, strong/weak cherry role, strong watermelon role, or chance role) is won, there is a possibility that a bonus role or an ART state privilege may be given. The relationship of none <pattern 1 <pattern 2 <pattern 3 also indicates the relationship of the degree of expectation with respect to grant of a privilege.
In addition, when a winning combination that has a possibility of multiple winning with the bonus winning combination (for example, strong/weak cherry winning combination) is selected, pattern 3 may be selected. It has become possible to increase the expectations of people.

However, during the ART sign production, when the winning combination (for example, strong/weak Cherry combination) that is not double-winned with the bonus combination is selected, the selection rate of the pattern 3 is set to 0%. If a continuous effect is executed in the middle, the winning of the bonus combination is confirmed, and the player's expectation can be extremely increased.
On the other hand, when the winning combination of the bonus combination and the winning combination (for example, the strong/weak cherry combination) is elected, the selection rate of the pattern 3 is such that the ART predictive effect (or the ART predictive effect) is not executed. It is set to be smaller than the comparison. This is to prevent the player from paying attention to the precursor effect to prevent the effect from being prolonged and to promptly notify the player that the bonus combination has been won.

Further, when a rare role is won, the selection rate is such that the execution probability of each winning production pattern changes between during the ART premonition production and the ART premonition production. Specifically, in the case of ART aura production, the execution probability of a winning production in a pattern with low expectation (for example, pattern 1) is low as a whole through each role as compared with during ART gaze aura production. The selection control is performed so that the execution probability of the winning effect in the pattern with high expectation (for example, pattern 2) is high.

That is, the sub-control device 20 as the second effect control means performs the second effect based on the determination result of the grant determination means (main controller 10) during the execution of the ART precursor effect or the ART gallant precursor effect as the first effect. In the case of executing the winning effect of No. 1, based on the determination result that triggered the first effect that is being executed, it is provided with an effect mode selection unit for selecting any winning effect from a plurality of types of winning effects. It will be.
Therefore, when the rare part is won during the ART prelude production or the ART prelude production, the winning production pattern at that time changes depending on whether the ART prelude production or the ART prelude production is in progress. The production pattern not only informs the types of rare roles and raises expectations for winning rare roles, but also reflects whether or not the precursor production being executed at that time, so the enjoyment of the game and the game It is the selection control that greatly enhances the expectation of the person.

Further, in particular, when a rare role (for example, a strong watermelon role or a chance role), which is a winning trigger in the ART state, is won during the ART precursor production, it is irrespective of whether or not the player wins the initial number of games. Instead, the selection control is performed such that the selection rates of the pattern 1 and the pattern 2 are changed as compared with during the ART gallant sign production.
More specifically, for example, when a strong watermelon role is won as a rare role that is a winning trigger in the ART state during the ART sign production, 40% without duplicate wins, and with duplicate wins (initial In addition to the number of games (when winning), pattern 1 is selected at 8%, whereas when a strong watermelon role is won during the signing of ART Gase, 50% without overlapping wins In some cases, selection control is performed so that the pattern 1 is selected at 18%.

On the other hand, during the ART sign production, as a rare role that is a winning trigger in the ART state, for example, when a strong watermelon role is won, 60% without duplicate wins, and with duplicate wins (addition to the initial number of games 90% of the time, the pattern 2 is selected at 90%, whereas when the strong watermelon role is won during the ART gaze sign production, it is 50% without duplicate wins and 80% with duplicate wins. Selection control is performed such that the pattern 2 is selected by.
In this way, when the rare role that is the trigger for winning the ART state is won during the ART premonition production, the probability of executing the winning production in the pattern 1 having a lower expectation is lower than that in the ART premonition production. The selection control is performed so that the probability of executing the winning effect in the pattern 2 having a high expectation is high.

That is, the sub-control device 20 as the effect mode selection means determines the grant during the execution of the ART precursor effect as the first effect that finally notifies that the specific privilege (ART state) is granted. When the determination result by the means (main controller 10) is a specific determination result (e.g., winning of a strong watermelon role or a chance role), a winning effect as a second effect in the game that derives the determination result (for example, a winning effect (for example, winning) , Pattern 1 and pattern 2) are changed to a selection rate different from the selection rate during the execution of the ART gallant precursor effect as the first effect that does not notify that a specific privilege is given.

Therefore, if the player again wins a rare role that is the trigger for winning the ART state during the ART premonition production, the pattern of the winning production will change compared to the case of winning during the ART premonition production. It is possible to execute rich and interesting productions.
In particular, when the player again wins a rare role that is the trigger for winning the ART state during the ART premonition production, the selection rate of the winning production (Pattern 2) with a higher degree of expectation than when winning during the ART premonition production Therefore, if you win a rare role that has a chance to win the ART state during the ART premonition production (ART Gase premonition production) and a highly anticipated winning production is executed, simply win the rare role. In addition to the expectation for, the expectation for the occurrence of the ART state is also improved, and the selection control is such that the interest of the game and the expectation of the player are greatly enhanced.

In addition, even when a rare role other than the rare role that is the winning trigger in the ART state (for example, a weak cherry role) is won during the ART sign production, the rare role that is the winning trigger in the ART state (for example, a strong role). As in the case of winning the role of watermelon), the selection control is performed so that the selection rates of pattern 1 and pattern 2 are changed as compared with during the ART premonition production. When a rare role other than the rare role which is the winning trigger of the state is won, the selection rate may be set to the same as that during the ART gallant omen effect.

In addition, when a rare role (for example, a strong/weak cherry role) that is a trigger for winning the bonus role is won during the ART sign production, regardless of whether or not the bonus combination is double-winned, the ART sign Selection control is performed such that the selection rates of pattern 1 and pattern 2 change more than during production.
More specifically, for example, when a strong cherry role is won as a rare role that is a trigger for winning a bonus role during ART precursor production, 20% without duplicate winning and 8 with duplicate winning. In contrast to selecting pattern 1 with %, in the case of winning the strong cherry character during the ART gaze sign production, pattern 1 is selected with 30% without double winning and with 28% with double winning. Such selection control is performed.

On the other hand, during the ART sign production, as a rare role that is a trigger for winning the bonus role, for example, when a strong cherry role is won, 80% without duplicate win and 60% with double win On the other hand, selection control such that 70% is selected without overlapping win and 50% is selected with overlapping win when a strong cherry character is won during the ART gaze sign production. Is done.
In this way, during the ART premonition production, when the winning role of the bonus combination is, for example, the strong cherry hand is elected, the selection of the pattern 1 having a lower expectation than in the ART premonition production The selection control is performed such that the rate becomes low and the selection rate of the pattern 2 having high expectation becomes high.

That is, the sub-control device 20 as the effect mode selection means determines the grant during the execution of the ART precursor effect as the first effect that finally notifies that the specific privilege (ART state) is granted. When the determination result by the means (main control device 10) is a special determination result (winning of a bonus combination), a winning effect as a predetermined second effect in the game that derives the determination result (for example, pattern 2). The selection rate is changed to a higher selection rate than the selection rate during the execution of the ART gallant precursor effect as the first effect that does not notify that the specific privilege is given.

Therefore, in the case of winning a rare role that may be won in duplicate with the bonus combination during the ART prelude production or the ART prelude production, the winning production pattern at that time is either the ART prelude production or the ART prelude. It will change depending on the performance, and the pattern of the winning effect is not only for notifying the kind of rare role and increasing the expectation for winning the bonus role, but also for the predictive effect being executed at that time. Since it is reflected, selection control is performed so as to greatly enhance the interest of the game and the expectation of the player.

In addition, in the case of winning the rare combination that may be won with the bonus combination during the ART premonition production, the winning production (pattern 2) with a higher degree of expectation than in the case of winning during the ART premonition production ), the selection rate will be high, so if you win a rare role, and if a highly expected winning effect is executed, you will have an expectation for the ART state in addition to the expectation for the bonus role. Will also be improved, and the selection control will greatly enhance the fun of the game and the expectation of the player.

Further, in a state in which the ART prelude effect and the ART premonition effect are being executed, for example, in the case where the replay combination is won as a role other than the rare combination, as a predetermined winning presentation, for example, pattern 1 and pattern 2 The selection control is performed such that the probability that the winning effect in (1) is executed is different from the state in which the ART precursor effect (or the ART gallant effect) is not executed.
Specifically, in a state where the ART aura effect is being executed, when a role other than the rare role is won, for example, a replay role is won, compared to a state in which the ART aura effect (or ART geek aura effect) is not executed. The selection control is performed such that the execution probability of the winning effect in the pattern 1 is increased from 20% to 25%, and the execution probability of the winning effect in the pattern 2 is increased from 10% to 15%.

That is, the sub-control device 20 as the second effect control means has a predetermined determination result (for example, a rare winning combination) whose determination result by the grant determination means (main control device 10) is different from a specific determination result (for example, winning of a rare combination). When the winning of the replay combination is achieved), the second effect (winning effect) corresponding to the predetermined determination result is executed with a predetermined probability, and the sub control device 20 as the effect mode selecting means When the determination result by the grant determination means during the execution of the first effect (ART precursor effect or ART precursor effect) is a predetermined determination result, the execution probability of the second effect in the game that derives the determination result is The execution probability is changed to an execution probability different from the execution probability when one effect is not executed.
As a result, in the ART prelude effect or the ART premonition, the possibility that the winning presentation effect will occur for each game changes as compared with the case where the prelude effect does not occur, so that it is more versatile and highly entertaining. It is possible to realize the production.
In addition, if the probability of executing the winning effect is increased in comparison with the case where the warning effect is not generated during the ART warning sign or the ART warning sign, the possibility that the winning prize is generated for each game is increased. It is possible to increase the expectation of the person.

In addition, when a winning combination other than a rare combination (for example, a replay combination) is won in a state where the ART precursor effect is being executed, a predetermined winning effect (for example, a winning effect in the pattern 1 or the pattern 2) is executed. The selection control may be performed so that the probability of being performed is lower than that in a state in which the ART precursor effect (ART gust precursor effect) is not executed.
As a result, when the winning effect is generated during the execution of the game during the sign of ART Gase, the possibility of winning the rare combination is increased, and the player's expectation can be increased.

Further, for example, when the winning effect in the pattern 2 is executed, the button effect accompanied by the operation of the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f may be executed.
When the button effect is executed at the time of executing the winning effect in the pattern 2, first, at the start of the game, an operation image for instructing the main display 8 to operate the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f (shown in FIG. 13 described later). The operation image 34) is displayed, and then the step-up effect is started by operating the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f.
In this case, it is preferable to invalidate the step-up effect if the operation of the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f is instructed but the operation of the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f is not performed.

That is, the second effect, which is provided with the operation means operated by the player (for example, the effect button 2d) and which is the target of the effect mode selection means (sub-control device 20) to change to a different selection rate, involves the operation of the operation means. It is a production.
Therefore, since the selection rate of the winning effect accompanied by the button effect is changed, it is possible to realize a more diverse and highly entertaining effect.
In addition, since the execution probability of the winning effect in the pattern 2 during the ART premonition effect is higher than that in the ART premonition effect throughout the respective roles, the pattern 2 having a higher effect of effect along with the button effect is produced. When the winning effect is executed, it is possible to more effectively improve the sense of expectation for the transition of the ART state.

Also, the accessory device 16 may be operated when the winning effect in the pattern 2 is executed.
When the accessory device 16 is operated during the execution of the winning effect in the pattern 2, the accessory device 16 is moved from the standing state (first state) to the upper end side of the accessory device 16 every time the step stage progresses. The operation of converting to the tilted state (second state) approaching the display device 8 side is repeated.

That is, the second effect, which is provided with the accessory device 16 that can be converted into the first state and the second state, and which is an object of the production mode selecting means to change the selection rate to a different selection ratio is an effect accompanied by the conversion of the accessory device 16. To do.
Therefore, since the selection rate of the winning effect accompanied by the conversion of the accessory device 16 is changed, it is possible to realize a more diverse and highly entertaining effect.
Further, the execution probability of the winning effect in the pattern 2 during the ART premonition effect is higher than that in the ART premonition effect throughout the respective roles, so that the effect effect accompanying the conversion of the accessory device 16 is higher. When the winning effect in the pattern 2 having a high score is executed, it is possible to more effectively improve the sense of expectation for the transition of the ART state.

Next, FIG. 9 shows a lottery during the continuous production executed at the final stage of the ART precursor production (ART gasse precursor production), that is, during the competition production where the main character 8 and the enemy character compete on the main display 8. As a result of the lottery by the means, the selection rate of the pattern for the execution of the winning effect under the control of the sub control device 20 is shown.
As described above, the continuous effect pattern is set to four patterns A to D as basic patterns for continuing three games, but in the present embodiment, it is relatively expected at the time of winning each role. Whether or not there is a winning effect depending on whether the continuous effects of the patterns A and B having a low frequency and the patterns C and D having a relatively high degree of expectation as a specific first effect are being executed, Selection control is performed such that the winning effect pattern changes.

Further, when the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect, the pattern 4 is executed in addition to the patterns 1 to 3 described above.
The pattern 4 of the winning effect is a pattern in which the winning effect is executed by the sub display unit 17 instead of the main display unit 8. When the continuous effect is being executed by the main display unit 8, the winning effect is produced by the sub display unit 17. Is a pattern to execute in parallel.

In pattern 4, a special image effect different from patterns 1 to 3 is set, and is displayed on the sub display device 17 under the control of the sub control device 20.
For example, an image in which the face of a predetermined character is up is displayed on the sub-display 17, and a balloon image (character information) from the character is used to notify that a predetermined winning combination has been won and the type of winning combination. It is like this.
The winning effect of the pattern 4 executed on the sub-display unit 17 may be any one as long as it can notify that a predetermined winning combination has been won or the type of winning combination. It may be selectively displayed according to the type.

Further, when executing the winning effect in the pattern 4, the sub control device 20 starts displaying the winning effect on the sub-display unit 17 at the time when the game won as the trigger for executing the winning effect is started. I am trying to do it.
Therefore, as the winning effect executed on the main display 8, for example, in the winning effect in the pattern 1, the start of the display is at a plurality of times in the game execution period as described above. The start of the display of the winning effect executed on the sub-display device 17 is the start time of the game.
When executing the winning effect in the pattern 4, a predetermined sound effect (notice sound) is output from the speaker 9 at the start of the game. In this case, during output of the sound effect corresponding to the continuous effect, the sound effect corresponding to the winning effect is output in a state of overlapping with the sound effect corresponding to the continuous effect.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the continuous effect is the pattern A or the pattern B during the execution of the continuous effect, “No effect”, “Pattern 1”, and “Pattern 2” for each winning of each winning combination. ,” or “Pattern 3” is selected, but the selection probability is the same as that when the part is won during the above-mentioned ART sign production, and therefore, the description of each selection rate is given here. Is omitted.

On the other hand, when the continuous effect is the pattern C or the pattern D during execution of the continuous effect, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means, if the player loses or wins the pushing order bell, no effect is selected. Selection control is performed such that each option is selected so that the probability that the pattern 4 is selected is 0% and the probability that the pattern 4 is selected is 0%.
Similarly, when a replay combination is won, selection control is performed so that each option is selected so that the probability of selecting no effect is 100% and the probability of selecting pattern 4 is 0%. Be seen.

In addition, when winning any combination other than the above-mentioned loss, push-order bell combination, and replay combination, as shown in FIG. 9, there is a 0% probability that no effect will be selected and a probability that pattern 4 will be selected. Selection control is performed so that each option is selected so as to be 100%.

It should be noted that when the winning effect of the pattern 4 is executed during the continuous effect of the pattern C or the pattern D, the image effect of a mode different from that of the patterns 1 to 3 is executed. The image effect similar to that of the pattern 2 may be executed.
Further, in the sub-display 17, when the winning effect of the pattern 4 is executed with the image effect having the same content as the pattern 1 or the pattern 2, any selection rate may be used for the selection of the image effect. ..

For example, when the rare combination is won during the continuous production of the pattern A or the pattern B, with the selection rate of selecting “no production” and “pattern 1”, the pattern 4 having the same image production as the pattern 1 is sub-selected. When the display device 17 is executed and the rare combination is won during the continuous production of the pattern A or the pattern B, the pattern 4 having the same image production as the pattern 2 is selected with the selection rate of selecting the “pattern 2”. It may be executed by the display device 17.
Further, the effect contents of the pattern 4 may be randomly determined whether the pattern 1 and the image effect are similar to each other or the pattern 2 and the image effect are similar to each other. Any image effect may be used as long as it is executed in.

As described above, when executing the winning effect that is completed in the game during the continuous effect over a plurality of games, the sub control device 20 responds to the type of the continuous effect executed on the main display 8. The control for selecting the execution location of the winning effect is performed.
More specifically, for example, in the case where a winning effect corresponding to a winning of a strong cherry role is executed during the continuous effect, when the continuous effect in the pattern A or the pattern B is being executed on the main display 8. In the case, the execution place of the winning effect is selected so that the winning effect is executed on the main display unit 8. The execution place of the winning effect is selected so that is executed on the sub-display 17.

That is, when the sub-control device 20 as the second effect control means executes the winning effect as the second effect in the game in which the continuous effect as the first effect is being executed, the type of the first effect being executed. According to, the selection control means for selecting the execution location in the game machine is provided.
Therefore, different productions can be efficiently executed, and the execution location of the second production can be changed according to the importance of the first production, so that the production corresponding to the expectation of the player can be achieved. It is possible to realize the aspect.

In addition, the sub-control device 20 as the selection control means, when the continuous effect in the pattern C or the pattern D as the specific first effect is being executed in the first display means (main display 8), While the second display means (sub-display 17) is selected as the execution location of the winning effect as the second effect, in the pattern A or the pattern B as the first effect different from the specific first effect on the first display means. When the continuous effect is being executed, the first display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect.
Therefore, when the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect of the pattern C or the pattern D having a relatively high degree of expectation, the winning effect is executed on the sub display unit 17, and the player pays particular attention. The winning effect is executed so as not to disturb the continuous effect, and the effect can be efficiently executed so that the player is not dissatisfied.

Further, when executing the second effect (winning effect) on the first display means (main display 8), the sub-control device 20 as the second effect control means sets the first effect at a plurality of times in the game execution period. When the second effect can be started and the second effect is executed on the second display means (sub-display 17), the second effect is started at the start time of the game.
Therefore, when the winning effect is executed on the main display unit 8, it is possible to execute a variety of highly interesting winning effects such that the displaying of the winning effect is started at a plurality of timings (times). Further, when the winning effect is executed on the sub-display 17, the relatively high-expectation effect is executed on the main display 8, so that the player who is paying attention to this high-expectation effect On the other hand, by executing the winning effect from the beginning of the game, it is possible to reliably inform that the winning effect is being executed, and the player who is paying attention to the main display 8 executes the winning effect. It is possible to prevent a situation in which you do not notice.

Further, when the winning effect is executed on the main display 8 during the continuous effect, the continuous effect and the winning effect are executed in parallel as in the ART predictive effect (or the ART predictive effect).
Since the continuous effect is an effect that the player pays more attention to than the ART precursor effect (or the ART geek predictive effect), even if the winning effect does not interfere with the display of the continuous effect, the image effect may be displayed. Good. For example, when the winning effect is displayed on the main display 8 during the continuous effect, the winning effect is shifted in the lateral direction (for example, the downward direction) of the screen as compared with the time when the ART predictive effect (or the ART geek predictive effect) is being performed. Image processing such as displaying may be performed.

However, as the case where the winning effect of the pattern 2 is executed on the main display 8, the winning effect may be executed during the continuous effects of the pattern A or the pattern B. In this case, the ART precursor effect (or, As in the case of "ART gaze sign production"), since another screen is displayed on the entire screen of the main display unit 8 due to the development of the step stage to the final stage, continuous production and winning production are not executed concurrently. In the state where the final stage effect of the pattern 2 is executed, the continuous effect is temporarily interrupted at that point.
That is, when the selection control unit selects the first display unit (main display unit 8) as the execution place of the winning effect as the second effect, the sub control device 20 as the first effect control unit determines the specific first effect. The execution of the continuous effect in the pattern A or the pattern B as the first effect different from the one effect is temporarily interrupted.
Therefore, when a relatively low-expectation continuous production is being executed, the continuous production is interrupted and priority is given to execution of a highly-expected winning production (final stage winning production). It is possible to execute an effect that enhances the feeling efficiently.
The interrupted continuous production will be restarted when the winning production ends.
As described above, the effect pattern of each effect is determined.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13, various effects executed by the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 under the control of the sub control device 20 based on a control signal from the main control device 10 will be described.
FIG. 10 shows a state in which the continuous effect of the above-described pattern A is being executed on the main display 8 as the continuous effect executed in the final stage of the ART precursor effect (ART gust precursor effect).
As shown in FIG. 10A, when the continuous effect according to the pattern A is executed, the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main part of the screen of the main display 8.
It should be noted that although the images shown in the respective drawings are made simpler than the images actually displayed, images such as preset characters and backgrounds are actually displayed.

In the state where the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main display 8, when a rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won, the type and execution location of the winning effect based on the selection rate shown in FIG. Is determined, and the winning effect is executed according to the determination result.
Since the winning effect executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern A (or the pattern B) is executed on the main display 8 as described above, that is, the winning effect in the pattern 1 or the pattern 2, the winning effect is shown in FIG. ), the winning effect image M31 corresponding to the winning rare combination is displayed on the main display 8 while the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main display 8.
For example, when the winning effect in the pattern 1 is selected, an image effect in which a predetermined character appears in front of the continuous effect image A30 is executed as the winning effect image M31, and the winning effect in the pattern 2 is selected. In this case, as the winning effect image M31, an image of a predetermined step-up effect is executed in front of the continuous effect image A30 (or in a state where the continuous effect image A30 is interrupted).

At this time, an image related to the continuous effect image A30 may be displayed on the sub-display 17, or a predetermined character image, background image, model name display, or the like may be displayed as a preset default image. You may.

Next, FIG. 11 shows a state in which the main effect of the pattern C described above is being executed on the main display 8 as a continuous effect executed at the final stage of the ART precursor effect (ART gust precursor effect). ..
As shown in FIG. 11B, when the continuous effect based on the pattern C is executed, the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main part of the screen of the main display 8.

When a rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won in a state where the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display 8, the type and execution location of the winning effect based on the selection rate shown in FIG. Is determined, and the winning effect is executed according to the determination result.
The winning effect executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern C (or the pattern D) is executed by the sub-display device 17, that is, the winning effect in the pattern 4, as described above, and thus is shown in FIG. As described above, in the state where the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display device 8, the winning effect image S33 corresponding to the winning rare combination is displayed on the sub display device 17.
For example, in the main part of the screen of the sub-display 17, an image in which the face of a predetermined character is up is displayed as the winning effect image S33.

Thus, for example, when the winning effect is executed by winning the rare combination during the continuous effect, the sub control device as the selection control means is selected according to the type of the continuous effect displayed on the main display 8. The execution location of the winning effect is selected by the control of 20, and the winning effect is displayed on either the main display 8 or the sub-display 17 based on the selection result.
The selection control means selects either the main display 8 or the sub-display 17 as the execution location of the winning production depending on the type of the continuous production, but the main display 8 (or the sub-display) is selected. You may make it select the display location in the screen of the display 17). For example, when the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect of the pattern A (or the pattern B), the winning effect is executed in the center of the main display 8 (or the sub display 17), and the pattern C ( Alternatively, when the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern D), the winning effect may be executed on the side portion (edge portion) of the main display 8 (or the sub display 17).

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a modified example in which the accessory device 16 is operated at the time of executing the continuous effect and the winning effect on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 will be described.
In the modification shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control device 20 operates the accessory device 16 disposed on the left side of the main display 8 and adjacent to the main display 8 during the continuous effect. I have to.

In the normal state (non-operating state, first state), the accessory device 16 is in an upright state such that the longitudinal direction is vertically oriented, and the upper end side is in the left-right direction around the pivot shaft set below. The conversion operation is enabled to move to. The upper end side is configured to pivotally move to the main display 8 side when converted to the operating state (second state) under the control of the sub control device 20.
Further, when the accessory device 16 is converted into the operating state, a part of the upper end side of the accessory device 16 overlaps the front of the screen of the main display 8 to decorate the image effect displayed on the screen of the main display 8. Is configured to. That is, when the accessory device 16 is converted into the operating state (second state), the predetermined portion of the accessory device 16 moves to a position closer to the main display 8 than in the non-operating state (first state).

In addition, when the accessory device 16 is converted into the operating state, if the image effect is displayed on the main display 8 according to the conversion operation, the decorative effect can be further improved. For example, if the character device 16 protruding to the front of the screen is displayed so that the character displayed on the screen avoids or lifts it, the character device 16 and the image effect become more related. , The decorative effect will be improved.

FIG. 12A shows a state in which the accessory device 16 is operated during the continuous production of the pattern C on the main display 8 at the final stage of the ART precursor production (ART precursor production).
In the present modification, when the accessory device 16 is operated, the sub control device 20 repeatedly switches between the non-operation state (first state) and the operation state (second state) at a predetermined timing, so that The object device 16 is controlled to reciprocate on the screen side of the main display 8. Then, the sub control device 20 operates the accessory device 16 during the continuous production in the production pattern C having a relatively high degree of expectation.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12A, in the state where the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display 8 as the continuous effect in the pattern C, the accessory device 16 reciprocates to the screen side of the main display 8. The decoration is made to repeat the exercise.

Further, the operation (reciprocating motion) of the accessory device 16 is adapted to continue throughout the execution of the continuous effect in the pattern C.
As a result, the continuous production in the pattern C having a high expectation is executed along with the operation of the accessory device 16, so that the player can appeal that the continuous production having a high expectation is being executed, People's expectations can be increased.

FIG. 12B shows a case where the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect accompanied by the operation of the accessory device 16.
As shown in FIG. 12B, in the state where the continuous effect image C32 as the continuous effect in the pattern C is displayed on the main display 8 with the operation of the accessory device 16, the rare effect (for example, strong effect) is displayed. In the case of winning the “cherry role”, the type and execution location of the winning effect are determined based on the selection rate shown in FIG. 9, and the winning effect is executed according to the result of the determination.
The winning effect executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern C (or the pattern D) is executed by the sub-display device 17, that is, the winning effect in the pattern 4, as described above, and thus is shown in FIG. As described above, in the state where the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display device 8, the winning effect image S33 corresponding to the winning rare combination is displayed on the sub display device 17.

Since the sub-display 17 is disposed on the right side of the main display 8, that is, on the opposite side of the accessory device 16 with the main display 8 interposed therebetween, it is a position that is not affected by the operation of the accessory device 16. Has become.
Therefore, even if the winning effect is executed while the continuous effect accompanied by the operation of the accessory device 16 is being executed on the main display device 8, the winning effect does not affect the operation of the accessory device 16. In this case, the winning effect can be executed without affecting the decoration of the continuous effect.

As described above, in the modified example shown in FIG. 12, the accessory device 16 is operated during the continuous performance in the pattern C having a relatively high degree of expectation, under the control of the sub control device 20.
That is, the sub-control device 20 as the first effect control means executes the continuous effect as the first effect accompanied by the operation (conversion) of the accessory device 16.
As a result, it is possible to decorate a continuous production having a high degree of expectation by the operation of the accessory device 16, and it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation and interest of the continuous production.
Further, when the continuous effect displayed on the main display device 8 is associated with the operation of the accessory device 16, for example, when the accessory device 16 is operated, the winning effect is executed on the main display device 8. If so, the display of the winning effect may impede the related effect between the continuous effect and the accessory device 16, but in the present modification, the winning effect is won during the continuous effect accompanied by the operation of the accessory device 16. When executing the effect, since the winning effect is executed on the sub-display 17, it is possible to surely execute the winning effect without affecting the related effect of the continuous effect and the accessory device 16. It will be.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13, a modified example in which a button effect as an operation corresponding effect is executed on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 when the continuous effect and the winning effect are executed will be described.
In the modified example shown in FIG. 13, when executing the winning effect during the continuous effect, the sub control device 20 executes the button effect accompanied by the operation of the effect button 2d exemplified as the operation means.

As for the button effect, first, an operation image prompting the operation of the effect button 2d is displayed on a predetermined display means, and then, when the operation of the effect button 2d is operated, the image effect displayed on the display means is changed. It is a production like this.
Further, the button effect is controlled to be executed with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%) when the winning effect is executed, and when the button effect is executed, it is more than when the button effect is not executed. The control is performed so as to increase the degree of expectation for the winning effect.
For example, when the button effect is executed during the winning effect in the pattern 1, the button effect is executed after the character appears, and when the player operates the effect button 2d, the character takes out an item. To be done. At this time, when the red item that suggests the winning of the strong cherry role with high expectations is taken out, the probability that the button effect will be executed is higher than when other items (for example, blue items) are taken out. The control is performed so as to increase.

In addition, when the button effect is executed in the winning effect at the time of winning the strong cherry character combination, the occurrence of the button effect is increased so that the probability that the bonus combination is won twice is higher than when the button effect is not executed. You may make it control.

FIG. 13A shows a winning effect in the state where the continuous effect according to the above-described pattern A is being executed as the continuous effect executed in the final stage of the ART predictive effect (ART gallant predictive effect) on the main display 8. Is executed.
As shown in FIG. 13A, when the continuous effect according to the pattern A is executed, the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main part of the screen of the main display 8.

In the state where the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main display 8, when a rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won, the type and execution location of the winning effect based on the selection rate shown in FIG. Is determined, and the winning effect is executed according to the determination result.
Since the winning effect executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern A (or the pattern B) is executed on the main display 8 as described above, that is, the winning effect in the pattern 1 or the pattern 2, the winning effect is shown in FIG. ), the winning effect image M31 corresponding to the winning rare combination is displayed on the main display 8 while the continuous effect image A30 is displayed on the main display 8.

At this time, when the button effect is executed in the winning effect, the operation image 34 prompting (instructing) the operation of the effect button 2d is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the main display 8 at a predetermined timing during the execution of the winning effect. Is displayed. The operation image 34 is an image simulating the effect button 2d and the character information of "PUSH" is displayed inside, and makes the player recognize that the operation of the effect button 2d is necessary. The image looks like this.
When the operation image 34 is displayed, the sub control device 20 validates the operation of the effect button 2d and turns on the internal light emitting source. After that, when the player operates the effect button 2d, the image effect of the winning effect image M31 is changed. For example, at the operation timing of the effect button 2d, the image is changed so that the character takes out the item.

Next, in FIG. 13B, in the state where the continuous effect according to the above-described pattern C is being executed on the main display device 8 as the continuous effect executed in the final stage of the ART precursor effect (ART gallant precursor effect). , Shows the case where the winning effect is executed.
As shown in FIG. 13B, when the continuous effect according to the pattern C is executed, the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main part of the screen of the main display 8.

When a rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won in a state where the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display 8, the type and execution location of the winning effect based on the selection rate shown in FIG. Is determined, and the winning effect is executed according to the determination result.
The winning effect executed during the continuous effect according to the pattern C (or the pattern D) is executed on the sub-display 17 as described above, that is, the winning effect in the pattern 4, and thus is shown in FIG. As described above, while the continuous effect image C32 is displayed on the main display 8, the winning effect image S33 corresponding to the winning rare combination is displayed on the sub-display 17.

At this time, when the button effect is executed in the winning effect, the operation image 34 prompting (instructing) the operation of the effect button 2d is displayed at the bottom of the screen of the sub-display device 17 at a predetermined timing during the execution of the winning effect. To be done. The operation image 34 is similar to the case where it is displayed on the main display 8, and is made up of an image imitating the effect button 2d and an image in which the character information of "PUSH" is displayed inside, and to the player. The image is such that it is recognized that the operation of the effect button 2d is necessary.
When the operation image 34 is displayed, the sub control device 20 validates the operation of the effect button 2d and turns on the internal light source. After that, when the player operates the effect button 2d, the image effect of the winning effect image S33 is changed. For example, at the operation timing of the effect button 2d, the image is changed so that the character takes out the item.

As described above, in the modified example shown in FIG. 13, the execution location of the winning effect is selected under the control of the sub control device 20 in accordance with the type of the continuous effect executed on the main display 8. However, if the winning effect is accompanied by the button effect, the execution location of the button effect is also selected in the same manner as the winning effect.

That is, the sub-control device 20 as the second effect control means executes the second effect (winning effect) including the button effect as the operation corresponding effect accompanied by the operation of the operation means (effect button 2d). When executing the operation corresponding effect (button effect) on the first display means (main display 8), while the operation image 34 for instructing the operation of the player is displayed on the first display means (main display 8), When the operation corresponding effect (button effect) is executed on the second display means (sub display 17), the operation image 34 for instructing the operation of the player is displayed on the second display means (sub display 17). is there.
Therefore, by executing the button effect, the winning effect can be made more promising, and when the execution point of the winning effect is changed, the executing point of the button effect is also changed. It becomes clear that the target is a winning effect, and it is possible to enhance (maintain) the effect of the button effect.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the continuous display is being executed on the main display 8, the continuous display being executed on the main display 8 is a pattern when the winning display is executed. In the case of the continuous effect of A or pattern B, the winning effect is executed on the main display device 8, while the continuous effect executed on the main display device 8 is the continuous effect of pattern C or pattern D. In this case, the selection control of the winning effect is performed such that the winning effect is executed on the main display 8.

However, the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20 also enable exceptional selection control when performing the selection control.
For example, the main control device 10 as the lottery means, when a part of the single winnings of the bonus combination (the special lottery result) is drawn as the special lottery result of the lottery results, Is interrupted for a predetermined period (for example, 3 minutes), and a so-called freeze effect for displaying a special image effect on the main display 8 is executed as a winning effect.
By executing this freeze effect, it is possible to notify the player that the winning of the bonus role has been confirmed from the start of the winning game, and the player is happy to win the bonus role during the execution of the freeze effect. It becomes possible to fully enjoy.

Then, the freezing effect is selected and controlled so that the freeze effect is executed on the main display device 8 with the highest priority regardless of the effect executed on the main display device 8.
Therefore, as described above, even when the continuous display is performed in the pattern C or the pattern D having a high expectation (high priority) on the main display 8, the freeze display is exceptionally preferentially given to the main display 8. Will be executed in.

That is, if the lottery result is a special lottery result of the lottery results for executing the second effect (winning effect), the sub-control device 20 as the selection control means is the first display means (main display device). Even when the specific first effect (continuous effect in the pattern C or the pattern D) is executed in 8), the first display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect.
Therefore, when the lottery result is a special lottery result, the winning effect is exceptionally displayed on the main display device 8 even if the continuous production in the pattern C or the pattern D is executed on the main display device 8. Since it is executed, it is possible to significantly improve the player's expectation.

Here, the continuous effect (for example, the continuous effect in the pattern C or the pattern D) is temporarily interrupted by the execution of the freeze effect, but the continuous effect is restarted after the end of the freeze effect, that is, the end of the bonus state. Will be done.
When restarting the continuous effect, the continuous effect may be restarted from the beginning. Further, if the transition lottery result of the ART state that triggered the continuous production is a winning of the ART state without restarting the interrupted continuous production, the ART state is generated immediately after the bonus state ends. You may
As described above, each effect is executed on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17.

Next, the additional specialization zone in the ART state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17.
As described above, when a predetermined rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won in the ART state, the predetermined number of games is added to the remaining number of games in the ART state with a predetermined probability. .. For example, when winning the strong cherry role, the number of games of 20 games is added to the number of remaining games with a probability of 50%.

Further, in the present embodiment, in addition to the additional lottery, it is possible to generate an additional specialization zone in which the additional number of games is increased for a predetermined period (for example, while 10 games are executed) compared to other states. ..
The additional specialization zone occurs with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%) when a predetermined rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won under the control of the main controller 10, and in the additional specialization zone, All the roles other than the replay role will be the triggers for addition, and the possibility that a large number of games will be added is increased.

For example, when winning the role of weak cherry, there is a 10% chance of winning the bonus in addition to the special zone, but during the specialized zone of extra winning, 100% wins the bonus, and when winning the role of strong cherry, the bonus There is a 50% probability that the player will be elected to be added in the area other than in the specialization zone, but in the additional specialization zone, control is performed so that the character is elected to be added at 100%.
In addition, when there is no possibility to add a prize other than in the specialization zone, the additional lottery will be carried out even if the winning of the bell role (push order bell role) is won, and at the time of winning the bell role (push order bell role), it will be added at 80%. It is controlled to win. It should be noted that a predetermined number of games may be added even when the game is lost.
However, when the replay role is won in the additional special zone, additional lottery is not performed.

Further, in the additional special zone, the number of games to be added is also larger than the number of games other than the additional special zone. For example, when the role of weak cherry is won, the number of games is 10 except in the additional special zone. The number of games for 20 games is added in the specialization zone for addition, and when winning the role of strong cherry, the number of games for 20 games is added for other than the specialization zone for specialization. The control is performed such that the number of games of 50 games is added.

Further, the additional control zone is controlled by the main control device 10 so as to continue regardless of the state of the winning probability of the replay combination.
That is, in the ART state in which the additional specialization zone is generated, the state is basically the RT state in which the winning probability of the replay role is increased, but in the additional specialization zone, the non-RT state is set. Even if it shifts to, control is performed so that the additional specialization zone continues.
For example, as a result of a player mistakenly performing a stop operation to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the fall replay role in the additional special zone while winning the fall replay role, the fall replay Even if the player falls to the non-RT state due to the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, the additional specializing zone will be continued as it is.

However, since the replay role is not included in the additional trigger area in the additional special zone, it will fall into a non-RT state during the additional special zone, and the winning probability of the replay role will decrease. Even if it happens, since the addition of the winning of the replay role is not added, it is possible to prevent a situation that would be a great disadvantage to the player.

FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the additional specialization zone processing performed by the main controller 10.
Substantial control relating to the player's profit, such as execution period, presence/absence of addition, determination of the number of addition games, etc., in the addition special zone is performed by the main controller 10, and control information from the main controller 10 is executed. Based on the above, the sub-control device 20 controls the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 for various notifications and effects related to the additional specialized zone.

As shown in FIG. 14, the main controller 10 executes the following additional specialized zone processing.
First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not it is in the additional specialization zone. If it is in the additional specialization zone, the process proceeds to step S2. If it is not in the additional specialization zone, the main additional specialization zone processing is ended.

Next, in step S2, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won. This is to determine whether or not a winning combination has been won by the lottery means in the additional specialized zone. Then, if some combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S3, and if no combination has been won, the additional special zone processing ends.

Next, in step S3, it is determined whether or not the bonus combination is won. This is to determine whether or not a bonus combination has been won in the additional specialization zone. Then, if the bonus combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S6, and if none of the combinations has been won, the process proceeds to step S4.
In step S6, a process of notifying that the bonus combination has been won is executed, and the process proceeds to step S7.

In step S7, a process of adding a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) corresponding to the winning of the bonus combination to the remaining number of games is executed, and the process proceeds to step S8.
In step S8, processing for interrupting the additional specialization zone is executed, and the main additional specialization zone processing is ended. By this interruption processing of the additional specialization zone, the additional specialization zone is temporarily interrupted at the end of the game in which the bonus combination is won. In addition, the suspended additional specialization zone will be restarted from the point of interruption after the end of the bonus state. For example, if the additional specialization zone is interrupted with 5 games left, the remaining 5 games are restarted.

By the processing of steps S3 to S8, when the bonus combination is won in the additional specialization zone, the notification of the winning of the bonus combination and the notification of the number of additional games are executed in the game winning the bonus combination. Is done.
The notification that the bonus combination has been won is given on the main display 8 by character information such as "bonus!". In the sub-display 17, as will be described later, the winning effect in the pattern 4 corresponding to the winning of the bonus combination is executed. However, the winning notification of the bonus combination on the main display 8 is It is performed after the winning effect is displayed on the display device 17. At the same time as the image is displayed, the speaker 9 outputs a voice notifying that the bonus combination is won.

If the winning combination of the bonus combination is, for example, a double winning combination with the strong cherry combination, the winning notification for notifying the winning of the strong cherry combination is displayed on the sub-display 17 by an image in which the face of a predetermined character is up. Is executed.
Further, the timing (timing) of notification of the winning of the bonus combination is executed during the game in which the bonus combination is won, such as at the start of the game and when the last reel 4 is stopped, and after the end of the game (after the last reel 4 is stopped). ), or any information can be provided as long as the notification is given before the start of the next game.

Next, when the process proceeds to step S4, it is determined whether or not the replay role is won in step S4. If the replay role is not won, the process proceeds to step S5 and the replay role is won. In this case, the additional special zone processing is terminated.
In step S5, after the addition process of the number of games corresponding to the winning combination is executed, the special addition special zone process is ended.
Therefore, when a winning combination other than the replay winning combination is won, the number of games corresponding to the winning combination is added to the remaining number of games. For example, in the case of winning the role of Bell, the number of games of 10 games is added to the number of remaining games, and in the case of winning the role of replay, the number of games is not added.

Although illustration is omitted, if the winning replay combination is won in the additional specialization zone and the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination is stopped, the state of RT should shift to the non-RT state. However, the additional specialized zone is maintained as it is and continues until the prescribed number of games (10 games) is completed.
That is, the main control device 10 as the privilege game state control means, when the RT as a high probability game state is interrupted by the stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination as the establishment of a predetermined interrupt condition in the ART state However, the additional specialized zone will continue.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, image display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 in the additional specialization zone will be described. The main display unit 8 and the sub-display unit 17 in the additional specialization zone are basically executed under the control of the sub-control unit 20 based on the control information from the main control unit 10. There is also a case where the sub-control device 20 performs control regardless of the control information.

FIG. 15A shows the display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 at the start of the additional specialization zone.
As shown in FIG. 15A, when the additional specialization zone is started, a specialization zone image 35 capable of identifying that the additional specialization zone is being displayed is displayed on the main part of the main display unit 8. .. The specialized zone image 35 is, for example, an image in which the main character and the enemy character face each other, and an image in which the main character attacks the enemy character by executing the game is executed.
Further, the additional specialization zone continues while a predetermined number of games are executed, and during that time, an image in which the hero character attacks the enemy character is repeatedly performed for each game. Therefore, the image effect displayed in the additional specialization zone (the additional specialization zone image 35) can be regarded as a series of effects (first effects) over a plurality of games.

In addition, the main display 8 notifies the remaining game number image 36 at the upper left of the screen to inform the number of remaining games in the specialized zone, and the upper right of the screen to inform the total number of games added to the specialized zone. The total additional game number image 37 is displayed, and each numerical value information is updated and displayed as the game progresses in the additional specialization zone.
In FIG. 15A, before the first game in the additional specialization zone is started, an image of “remaining: 10 G” is displayed in the remaining game number image 36, and the total additional game number is displayed. In the image 37, the image of "addition: 0G" is displayed.
Note that, in the figure, nothing is displayed on the sub-display unit 17 during the additional specialization zone, but a predetermined image for notifying or decorating the additional specialization zone may be displayed. ..

Next, FIG. 15B shows the display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 at the time when the first game in the additional specialization zone starts.
As shown in FIG. 15B, when the first game in the additional specialized zone is started, the specialized zone image 35 is continuously displayed on the main display 8.
Further, the remaining game number image 36 on the upper left of the screen of the main display 8 is updated and displayed to “remaining: 9G” indicating the number of remaining games after the start of the first game, and the total added game number image 37 on the upper right of the screen 37. Is updated and displayed as "addition: 0G", which indicates the total number of addition games after the start of the first game.

Further, a push-order navigation image 38 as a push-order navigation is displayed below the screen of the main display 8. The push-order navigation image 38 has a configuration in which three images in which numerical information indicating the push order is displayed in a circular enclosure image are arranged in the left-right direction at the bottom of the screen. In the example shown in FIG. 15(b), since the case where the push order bell combination is won is shown, numerical information indicating the stop order of the stop button 5 is displayed as the push order navigation image 38 in the order of middle→right→left. What has been done is illustrated.
In addition, the specialized zone image 35 is expanded according to the progress of the game, for example, an image in which the main character attacks the enemy character according to the progress of the game is displayed, and the attack succeeds after the last reel 4 is stopped. An image of whether or not to do is displayed. Then, if the player has won a role other than the replay role, an image in which the attack succeeds is displayed, while if the player has won the replay role, an image in which the attack fails is displayed.

Next, FIG.15(c) has shown the display of the main display 8 and the sub display 17 at the time of the end of the first game in the additional specialization zone.
As shown in FIG. 15C, when the first game in the additional specialized zone ends, the specialized zone image 35 is continuously displayed on the main display 8.
In the example shown in FIG. 15C, the state at the end of the game in which the push order bell combination is won is shown. Therefore, as the specialized zone image 35, an image in which the attack of the main character succeeds is displayed, and The displayed push-order navigation image 38 at the bottom of the screen is switched to, for example, the character information of “+10G” as the additional game number image 39 indicating the number of games to be added by the game.

Further, as the remaining game number image 36 at the upper left of the screen of the main display 8, "remaining: 9G" indicating the number of remaining games after the end of the first game is displayed, and as the total added game number image 37 at the upper right of the screen. Is updated and displayed as "Additional: 10G" indicating the total number of additional games after the number of games added in the first game is added.
It should be noted that when a replay combination for which the pressing order is not set in the additional special zone is won, a predetermined pressing order navigation may be performed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the possibility of being added from being lowered at that point due to the fact that the push-order navigation was not performed at the start of the game.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, a description will be given of the display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 when an addition is made by winning a predetermined rare combination in the ART state.
The main display unit 8 and the sub-display unit 17 in the ART state are basically executed based on the control information from the main control unit 10 under the control of the sub control unit 20, but the control from the main control unit 10 is performed. The sub-control device 20 may control the data regardless of the information.

FIG. 16A shows the display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 during the ART state.
As shown in FIG. 16A, during the ART state, an ART state image 41 capable of identifying the ART state is displayed on the main part of the main display unit 8. The image 41 in the ART state is composed of, for example, an image in which the main character is running on a predetermined stage (eg, grassland).
Further, the ART state continues until the number of remaining games becomes 0, and during that time, an image in which the main character runs on a predetermined stage (eg, grassland) is repeatedly displayed through a plurality of games. Therefore, the image effect displayed in the ART state (image 41 in the ART state) can also be regarded as a series of effects (first effect) over a plurality of games.

Further, the main display 8 displays an ART remaining game number image 40 for notifying the number of remaining games in the ART state at the upper left of the screen. In the figure, since the image of "remaining: 30 G" is displayed, it can be recognized that the number of remaining games in the ART state is 30 games. The total number of medals acquired during the ART state, the total number of games played during the ART state, and the like may be displayed on a predetermined portion of the screen.
Although nothing is displayed on the sub-display 17 during the ART state in the drawing, a predetermined image for notifying or decorating the ART state may be displayed.

Next, FIG. 16B shows the display of the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 at the time when the game starts in the ART state. The role of weak cherry) is shown.
As shown in FIG. 16B, during the ART state, the image 41 during the ART state is continuously displayed on the main display unit 8. However, when the game is executed during the ART state, a predetermined rare hand ( For example, when the player wins a weak cherry role, the winning effect image M31 is displayed at a predetermined position (for example, substantially the center of the screen) of the main display 8.

In the winning effect image M31, the same image effect as that in the case of winning a rare combination or the like is set except during the ART state. In addition, the sub-control device 20 performs the selection control of the execution portion of the winning effect in the same manner as in the state other than the ART state, and the execution portion of the winning effect is selected according to the type of effect being executed on the main display 8. It
When the winning effect is executed in the ART state, the main display 8 is selected as a display portion, and as the pattern to be executed by the main display 8, one of the winning effects of pattern 1 to pattern 3 is selected. To be executed.
Further, the display state of the ART state image 41 displayed in the ART state is set lower than that of the winning effect image M31. Therefore, the winning effect image M31 is displayed on the main display 8 during the continuous effect described above. Similar to the case of display, display control is performed so that the image 41 is displayed on the front side of the image 41 in the ART state.

In addition, the selection of which of the patterns 1 to 3 for the winning effect is performed is performed at the same selection rate as the selection rate (see FIG. 8) when the winning combination is won during the above-mentioned ART precursor effect. ..
Further, on the main display 8, an ART remaining game number image 40 for notifying the number of remaining games in the ART state is continuously displayed on the upper left of the screen.

Further, in the lower part of the screen of the main display 8, there are a circular enclosure image similar to the push-order navigation image 38, and an image in which an exclamation mark (“!”) is displayed instead of numerical information. , Three rare role navigation images 42 arranged in the left-right direction at the bottom of the screen are displayed.
With such a display, when the rare combination or the like is won while the image 41 in the ART state is displayed on the main display 8, the winning effect image M31 and the rare combination navigation image 42 are displayed. Both can efficiently and surely notify that the rare role has been won.

Next, FIG. 16C shows the main display 8 and the sub-displays at the end of the game (when all reels 4 are stopped) of the game in which a predetermined rare combination (for example, a weak cherry combination) is won in the ART state. 17 shows the display.
As shown in FIG. 16C, the image 41 in the ART state is continuously displayed on the main display 8 even when the game winning the predetermined rare combination is over.
In the example shown in FIG. 16C, a case of winning a weak cherry role is shown. As the additional game number image 39 indicating the number of games to be added by execution, for example, character information of “+10G” is displayed in the lower part of the screen instead of the rare combination navigation image 42.
Further, the remaining game number image 36 on the upper left of the screen of the main display 8 is updated and displayed as “remaining: 40 G” indicating the remaining game number to which the added game number is added.

As described above, while the image 41 in the ART state is displayed on the main display 8, when the rare combination is won and the winning effect is executed, the sub control device 20 as the selection control means The main display 8 is selected as the execution location of the winning effect, and the winning game is executed on the main display 8.

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, a description will be given of the display on the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 when an addition is made by winning a predetermined rare combination in the above-mentioned additional specialization zone.
The main display device 8 and the sub-display device 17 in the additional specialization zone are basically executed under the control of the sub-control device 20 based on the control information from the main control device 10. There is also a case where the sub-control device 20 performs control regardless of the control information.

FIG. 17A shows the display of the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 in the additional specialization zone.
As shown in FIG. 17A, in the additional specialization zone, the specialization zone image 35 capable of identifying that it is in the additional specialization zone is displayed on the main part of the main display 8 as described above. To be done.

In addition, the main display 8 notifies the remaining game number image 36 at the upper left of the screen to inform the number of remaining games in the specialized zone, and the upper right of the screen to inform the total number of games added to the specialized zone. The total additional game number image 37 is displayed, and each numerical value information is updated and displayed as the game progresses in the additional specialization zone.

Next, FIG. 17(b) shows the display of the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 at the time when the first game in the additional specialization zone starts, and in particular, when the first game is executed, It shows a case where a predetermined rare combination (for example, a strong cherry combination) is won and a bonus combination is also won.
As shown in FIG. 17B, the special zone image 35 is continuously displayed on the main display 8 in the additional special zone, but the first game is executed in the additional special zone. When a predetermined rare winning combination (for example, a strong cherry winning combination) is won and a bonus winning combination is also won, first, the sub-control device 20 as the selection control means selects the execution location of the winning effect.

When executing the winning effect in the additional specializing zone, the sub-control device 20 has the same selection rate as in the case of executing the winning effect during the continuous effect in the pattern C or the pattern D (see FIG. 9). Then, the winning effect is executed and the pattern is selected.
Therefore, when the winning effect is executed in the additional specializing zone, the winning effect in the pattern 4 in which the sub-display 17 is set as the execution point is selected, and as shown in FIG. The winning effect image S33 is displayed on the sub-display 17.
In the winning effect image S33, the same image effect as in the case of executing the winning effect during the continuous effect of the pattern C or the pattern D is set, so that the image in which the face of the predetermined character is up is displayed on the sub display unit 17. Is displayed.

Further, the remaining game number image 36 on the upper left of the screen of the main display 8 is updated and displayed to “remaining: 9G” indicating the number of remaining games after the start of the first game, and the total added game number image 37 on the upper right of the screen 37. Is updated and displayed as "addition: 0G", which indicates the total number of addition games after the start of the first game.
Further, in the lower part of the screen of the main display 8, there are a circular enclosure image similar to the push-order navigation image 38, and an image in which an exclamation mark (“!”) is displayed instead of numerical information. , Three rare role navigation images 42 arranged in the left-right direction at the bottom of the screen are displayed.
Further, the specialized zone image 35 is developed according to the progress of the game, and an image in which the main character attacks the enemy character is displayed.

Next, FIG. 17C shows the display of the main display 8 and the sub-display 17 at the time when the first game in the additional specialization zone is finished.
As shown in FIG. 17C, when the first game in the additional specialized zone ends, the specialized zone image 35 is continuously displayed on the main display 8.
In the example shown in FIG. 17C, the state at the end of the game in which the predetermined rare combination (for example, the strong cherry combination) and the bonus combination are won is shown. As the image for notifying the winning of the rare combination, the type of the winning combination is notified by a balloon image from a predetermined character.

Further, as the special zone image 35 on the main display 8, an image in which the attack of the hero character succeeds is displayed, and the rare role navigation image 42 displayed at the bottom of the screen has won the bonus role. As a bonus addition image 43 including an image indicating (notifying) and an image indicating the number of games to be added by the game, for example, the character information of “bonus!+50G” is switched.

In addition, as the remaining game number image 36 at the upper left of the screen of the main display 8, "remaining: 9G" indicating the number of remaining games after the end of the first game is displayed, and as the total added game number image 37 at the upper right of the screen. Is updated and displayed as "addition: 50G" indicating the total number of addition games after the addition of the number of addition games in the first game.

As shown in FIG. 17, when the lottery result by the main control device 10 as the lottery means is the special lottery result, the sub-control device 20 controls the main display device 8 to display a predetermined lottery result. The notification will be executed.
That is, the sub-control device 20 and the main display 8 constitute an informing means, and the sub-control device 20 and the main display 8 as the informing means win the bonus combination in the additional specialization zone as described above. In this case, the second notifying means for notifying that the bonus combination is won before the game next to the bonus winning game is executed is also configured.

Note that the timing of informing the bonus combination may be other than that during the game in which the bonus combination is won, may be informed after the end of the game, or may be informed before the next game is started. Any of them can be used.
Further, after executing the winning effect on the sub display device 17, an image for notifying the winning of the bonus may also be displayed on the sub display device 17.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, basically, the ART state image 41 is displayed on the main display 8 during the ART state, but as described above, the ART state image 41 is displayed. Since the effect that is displayed can be regarded as an effect (first effect) that is executed over a plurality of games, the sub-control device 20 serving as the selection control unit causes the image 41 during the ART state to be displayed. When the (first effect) is being executed on the main display 8 (first display means), the main display 8 is selected as the execution location of the winning effect.

On the other hand, when an additional specialized zone occurs in the ART state, the specialized zone image 35 will be displayed on the main display unit 8. Since it can be regarded as an effect (first effect) executed over the game, the sub-control device 20 as the selection control means displays the effect (first effect) in which the specialized zone image 35 is displayed on the main display. When it is executed on the display device 8 (first display means), the sub display device 17 is selected as the execution place of the winning effect.

Therefore, even when the winning effect is executed in the ART state, the winning effect (second effect) is executed by the control of the selection control means according to the type of the effect (first effect) being executed on the main display 8. Since the place is selected, it is possible to execute the winning effect more efficiently.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17, in the present embodiment, the special lottery result is obtained based on the result of the lottery by the lottery means (main controller 10) becoming the special lottery result (winning of the bonus combination). On the condition that the notification means (main display 8, sub-control device 20) for executing a predetermined notification (for example, a notification of winning of a bonus combination) related to, and the lottery result by the lottery means being a special lottery result, Special game state control means (main control device 10) for controlling the game state to a special game state (bonus state) in which the control relating to the lottery of the lottery means for a predetermined period is advantageous to the player, and the establishment of a predetermined special condition. Based on (winning of transition lottery of ART state), a specific game state control means (main controller 10) for controlling the game state to a specific game state (ART state) for informing the player of an advantageous operation mode is provided. The specific game state control means maintains the specific game state for a specific period (for example, while 10 games are executed) based on the establishment of a specific condition (for example, winning a strong cherry role) during the specific game state. The privilege game state control means (main control device 10) for controlling the game state in a privilege game state (addition special zone) capable of giving a predetermined privilege (addition of the number of games) involved, and the privilege game state control means, Predetermined privilege shall be given according to the lottery result of the lottery means, and the notification means, when the lottery result by the lottery means is a special lottery result in the predetermined game, the predetermined means is given in the game after the game. In the game in the privilege game state with the first informing means (main display 8 and sub-control device 20) for executing the informing, when the lottery result by the lottery means is the special lottery result, the next game of the game concerned The second notification means (main display 8 and sub-control device 20) for executing a predetermined notification before is executed.

Therefore, the special game state is generated based on the establishment of the specific condition during the specific game state, so that the player's expectation can be improved.
Further, when the lottery result by the lottery means becomes the special lottery result during the privilege game state, a predetermined notification is executed before the next game of the game is executed. That is, when the bonus combination is won in the additional specializing zone, the fact that the bonus combination is won is notified before the next game of the winning game of the bonus combination is started.

This makes it possible to immediately inform the player that the bonus combination has been won. Also, the bonus special winning zone will be suspended, but even if the special bonus zone is interrupted, the bonus winning is notified at that time, so the player can Even when the bake zone is interrupted, the player can recognize the state and can continue the game without any dissatisfaction.

In addition, in the specialization zone for addition, in addition to a rare combination and a bonus combination with a low probability of winning, for example, even if a Bell combination (common Bell combination and push order bell combination) is won, the addition is performed as a predetermined privilege.
That is, the main control device 10 as the privilege game state control means gives a predetermined privilege even when the lottery result of the lottery means is different from the special lottery result.
For example, if the bonus combination is won in the additional special zone, if the bonus combination is not immediately notified, if the bell combination is won in the subsequent games, the addition to the winning of the bell combination is not performed. This may give the player a feeling of dissatisfaction or distrust.However, in the present embodiment, when a bonus combination is won during the additional specialization zone, the winning of the bonus combination is immediately notified and the addition is completed. Since the specialization zone is interrupted, it is possible to prevent players from feeling dissatisfied or distrusted in the subsequent games even if, for example, they win the bell role (push order bell role) and no extra money is added. is there.

In addition, if you win the bonus combination in the additional special zone, and if you win the push order bell combination before the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning bonus combination stops, it corresponds to the push order bell combination. The push order navigation may or may not be performed. Further, the pushing order navigation may be performed with a predetermined probability.

Further, when the lottery result based on the execution of the game is the first lottery result (winning of the replay combination), the next game is allowed without setting the bet number, and the specific game state control means (main The control device 10) can control the specific game state (ART state) by the high-probability game state (RT) in which the probability that the lottery result of the lottery means becomes the first lottery result can be controlled, and the privilege game state control means (main control). The device 10), based on the establishment of a predetermined interruption condition (stop of the combination of symbols corresponding to the falling replay combination) in the specific game state, even if the high probability game state is interrupted, the bonus game state is continued, The predetermined privilege (addition) is given based on that the lottery result of the lottery means is different from the first lottery result of the second lottery result (for example, winning of the bell role).

Therefore, even if the high-probability game state is interrupted during the additional special zone and the winning probability of the replay role becomes the normal probability, the privilege is a role that is not related to the change of the winning probability of the replay role (for example, , Bell role), the awarding of the privilege to the player in the additional specialization zone will be executed without any problem even if the high-probability game state is interrupted, and the player is extremely disadvantageous. Can be prevented.

In addition, a first effect (effect in which the image 41 in the ART state is displayed, effect in which the specialized zone image 35 is displayed) is executed over a plurality of games executed in the ART state as the specific game state. Based on the effect control means (sub-control device 20), the second effect control means (sub-control device 20) that executes the second effect (winning effect) that is completed by the execution of the predetermined game based on the lottery result during the specific game state. And a case where the first effect control means makes it possible to execute the first effect with any of a plurality of types of first effects having different effect modes, and executes the second effect in the game in which the first effect is being executed. In addition, the configuration is provided with a selection control unit (sub-control device 20) that selects an execution location of the second effect according to the type of the first effect being executed.

Therefore, when executing the winning effect in the ART state, it is possible to efficiently execute a different effect, and it is possible to change the execution position of the second effect in accordance with the importance of the first effect. Therefore, it is possible to realize a production mode corresponding to the expectation of the player.
As described above, various effects are executed in the ART state and in the additional ride-on zone.

As described above, in the present invention, in the present invention, whether or not to give a privilege to the player corresponding to the execution of the game is drawn by lot, and the predetermined effect is executed based on the lottery result. In the (slot machine 1), a first effect control means (sub-control device 20) that executes a first effect over a plurality of games based on the lottery result, and a second effect that is completed in a predetermined game based on the lottery result. And a second effect control means (sub-control device 20) for executing the first effect control means, wherein the first effect control means can execute the first effect with any of a plurality of types of first effects having different effect modes. When executing the second effect in the game in which the first effect is being executed, the effect control means selects the execution location in the game machine according to the type of the first effect being executed (sub-control). The controller 20) is provided.

Here, the first effect control means, the second effect control means, and the selection control means may be included in the main control device 10 or may be included in the sub control device 20. Further, it may be configured by the cooperation of the main control device 10 and the sub control device 20.
Further, the “second effect completed in a predetermined game” refers to an effect completed in a single game, and the second effect started from the start of the game may end when all reels 4 are stopped. Alternatively, it may end before the next game starts after all reels 4 have stopped.
Further, examples of the privilege include a small winning a prize, a bonus state, a CZ state, an ART state, a special addition zone, and an addition of the number of games in the ART state.
In addition, the first effect is, in addition to the continuous effect in the ART premonition effect (ART premonition effect), the ART premonition effect (ART premonition effect), the bonus occurrence effect (bonus pretense effect effect), the effect in the additional specialized zone, The effect in the ART state, the effect by the stage, etc. are exemplified.

Therefore, different productions can be efficiently executed, and the execution location of the second production can be changed according to the importance of the first production, so that the production corresponding to the expectation of the player can be achieved. It is possible to realize the aspect.

Further, the first display means (main display 8) and the second display means (sub-display 17) different from the first display means are provided, and the selection control means is the first display means specific to the first display means. When an effect (for example, a continuous effect according to the pattern C) is being executed, the second display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect, while the first display means is different from the specific first effect. When the effect (for example, continuous effect according to the pattern A) is being executed, the first display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect.

Here, the first display means and the second display means may be any as long as they display a plurality of information such as a liquid crystal display, an LED display, a display for displaying information by a reel, and the first display. The means and the second display means may be indicators having different configurations.
Therefore, when the winning effect is executed during the continuous effect of the pattern C or the pattern D having a relatively high degree of expectation, the winning effect is executed on the sub display unit 17, and the player pays particular attention. The winning effect is executed so as not to disturb the continuous effect, and the effect can be executed so that the player is satisfied.

Moreover, when the selection control unit selects the first display unit as the execution position of the second effect, the first effect control unit temporarily suspends the execution of the first effect different from the specific first effect. It was composed.
Therefore, when a relatively low-expectation continuous production is being executed, the continuous production is interrupted and execution of a highly-anticipated winning production is prioritized, so that the player's expectation can be efficiently increased. It is possible to perform various effects.

Moreover, the first display means (main display 8) and the second display means (sub display 17) different from the first display means are provided, and the second effect control means is the second display means in the second display means. When executing the effect, the second effect can be started at a plurality of times in the game execution period, and when executing the second effect on the second display means, the second effect is started at the start time of the game. It was configured to do.
Therefore, when the winning effect is executed on the main display unit 8, it is possible to execute a variety of highly interesting winning effects such that the displaying of the winning effect is started at a plurality of timings (times). Further, when the winning effect is executed on the sub-display 17, the relatively high-expectation effect is executed on the main display 8, so that the player who is paying attention to this high-expectation effect On the other hand, by executing the winning effect from the beginning of the game, it is possible to reliably inform that the winning effect is being executed, and the player who is paying attention to the main display 8 executes the winning effect. It is possible to prevent a situation in which you do not notice.

Moreover, the 1st display means, the 2nd display means different from the 1st display means, and the operation means (effect button 2d) operated by the player are provided, and the 2nd effect control means operates the second effect. It is assumed that the operation corresponding effect (button effect) accompanied by the operation of the means is executed, and when the operation corresponding effect is executed on the first display means, an operation image for instructing the operation of the player is displayed on the first display means. On the other hand, when the operation corresponding effect is executed on the second display means, the operation image for instructing the operation of the player is displayed on the second display means.

Here, the operating means may be the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f.
Therefore, by executing the button effect, the winning effect can be made more promising, and when the execution point of the winning effect is changed, the executing point of the button effect is also changed. It becomes clear that the target is a winning effect, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the button effect.

Further, the first display means (main display 8), the second display means (sub-display 17) different from the first display means, the first state, and the predetermined portion more than the first state are the first display means. The role object device 16 that can be converted into a second state that is close to the position, and the first effect control means is configured to execute the first effect accompanied by the conversion of the role object device 16.
Therefore, it is possible to decorate a continuous production with a high degree of expectation by the operation of the accessory device 16, and it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation and interest for the continuous production.
In addition, since the continuous effect displayed on the main display 8 is associated with the operation of the accessory device 16, for example, when the accessory device 16 is operated, the winning effect is executed on the main display 8. If this happens, the display of the winning effect may impede the related effect between the continuous effect and the accessory device 16, but in the present invention, the winning effect is won during the continuous effect accompanied by the operation of the accessory device 16. When executing the effect, since the winning effect is executed on the sub-display 17, it is possible to surely execute the winning effect without affecting the related effect of the continuous effect and the accessory device 16. It will be.

Moreover, the first display means (main display 8) and the second display means (sub-display 17) different from the first display means are provided, and the selection control means (sub-control device 20) displays the first display. When the specific first effect (for example, continuous effect by the pattern C) is being executed by the means, the second display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect, while the specific first effect by the first display means. When the first effect different from the effect (for example, continuous effect by the pattern A) is being executed, the first display means is selected as the execution location of the second effect, and the lottery result indicates the second effect. In the case of a special lottery result of the lottery results to be executed (for example, winning of a bonus combination accompanied by a freeze effect), even if a specific first effect is being executed on the first display means, The first display means is selected as the performance execution location.
Therefore, when the lottery result is a special lottery result, the winning effect is exceptionally executed on the main display 8 even if the specific first effect is executed on the main display 8. It is possible to significantly improve the player's expectation.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine in which various effects are executed on a display device.
However, in the conventional gaming machine, various effects are simply displayed on the display device, and the game is monotonous and the enjoyment is not enhanced.

It is preferable to start the winning effect on the LED display at the start point of.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the sub control device 20 as the effect mode selecting means executes the winning effect while the ART predictive effect is being executed as the first effect, it executes the ART geek predictive effect as the first effect. The second effect is selected so that the probability that the winning effect of the pattern with a high degree of expectation (for example, pattern 2) will be executed is higher than that in the case where the winning effect is executed during this. In this case, When the pattern 4 as the effect pattern to be selected, that is, the winning effect executed on the sub-display 17 is also included in the options, and the winning effect is executed while the ART precursor effect is being executed as the first effect, the first effect is selected. As the effect, the second effect may be selected so that the probability that the winning effect in the pattern 4 is executed is higher than that in the case where the winning effect is executed during the execution of the ART gallant warning effect.
By doing so, the winning effect is executed on the sub-display unit 17, which is a different place during the ART precursor effect, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation.

Further, a timer effect may be executed instead of the button effect executed in association with the winning effect.
Further, the selection control means may select the execution location of the timer effect according to the selection of the execution location of the winning effect.

The timer effect is an effect that is executed by displaying the timer value in a predetermined area on the display surface of the display on which the winning effect is executed, and updating and displaying the timer value in accordance with the progress of the winning effect as the second effect. is there.
Specifically, by displaying a preset initial timer value on the display screen at the start of the winning effect, the initial timer value is subtracted and displayed (updated display) according to the actual progress time of the winning effect. Done.
Further, the initial timer value displayed first is set in correspondence with a predetermined execution period (number of executed games) of the winning effect.
Then, when the timer value is subtracted (updated) and the timer value becomes zero (time-up) at the end of the winning effect, and the subtraction display ends, a predetermined timer result effect such as "chance" is displayed. Character information such as "" is displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, although the effect button 2d and the upper effect button 2f are provided as the operation means for the player to operate, the contact of the player is detected on the display surface of the main display 8 or the sub display 17. In addition to providing a possible touch sensor, it is possible to display a touch image (operation image) that prompts the touch position on the main display 8 or the sub display 17, and the sub-control device 20 responds to the touch of the player on the touch image. The operation may be accepted to display a predetermined image effect on the main display 8 or the sub-display 17.

Further, the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f may be provided with a vibrating means that vibrates by the operation of a motor or the like so that the vibrating means is actuated when the player operates it. At this time, for example, it is preferable to activate the vibrating means when a relatively high expected performance (for example, a winning performance) is displayed. By doing so, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation.

In addition, when a vibrating unit that vibrates the front door 1a by operating a motor, a speaker, or the like is provided on the front door 1a, an effect (for example, a winning effect or a continuous effect) with relatively high expectations is displayed, The player's expectation may be increased by operating the vibrating means when the additional specialized zone is executed.
In addition, when the front door 1a is provided with a blowing means for blowing a wind toward the player, a relatively high-expectation effect (for example, a winning effect or a continuous effect) is displayed, or an additional specialization zone is executed. In such a case, the player's expectation may be increased by operating the blowing means.

Further, a detection sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) capable of detecting that the player's hand approaches the effect button 2d or the upper effect button 2f is provided, and a detection signal of the detection sensor is provided while the button effect is being executed. Based on the above, the operation image may be changed from a normal shape to a large shape. By doing so, the operation image changes immediately before the production button 2d or the upper production button 2f is pressed, so that an unprecedented novel production is possible.
