As shown in FIG. 4, the main control means 200 includes a combination lottery means 210, a reel control means 220, a stop symbol determination means 230, a payout giving means 240, a game state control means 250, an advantageous section control means 260, and a suggestion lottery means 270. , Main side notification means 280, storage means 290, management means 300, and transmission means 310. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the main control means 200 draws a winning combination, controls the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 62, determines the stop symbol 61 when all the rotary reels 62 are stopped, and advances the game. It will function as a means.
The main control means 200 is for controlling the game and for advancing the game. Hereinafter, the game according to the first embodiment will be described.

When the specified number of bets (3 or 2) is set, one valid line 86 is set. In the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment, 3 or 2 is set as a predetermined bet number. There are two methods for setting the number of bets: a method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method of setting a credit medal as the number of bets by operating the bet switch 32. Then, when the start switch 40 is operated on the condition that the specified number of bets (3 or 2) is set, the number of bets is fixed, and the winning combination lottery means 210 wins one of the plurality of winning combinations. A lottery (role lottery) will be held to see if the game is lost or lost. Further, almost at the same time as the winning combination lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in the first embodiment) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 62 in the previous game, and a predetermined time is determined. When the time elapses, the rotation of all three rotating reels 62 starts.

After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in the first embodiment, after executing the process of accelerating the rotary reel 62, a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. When that is satisfied, the stop switch 50 is in a state where it can be operated (stop operation is possible).

After that, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. Then, when the operation of all three stop switches 50 is completed, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.

At this time, when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is aligned on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of the symbols 61 is performed. The game machine 10 according to the first embodiment is formed so that a medal as a payout is given to a player when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86. For example, when the combinations of the symbols 61 corresponding to the small winning combination (the winning combination with the payout of medals) are aligned on the effective line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small winning combination is given to the player.

In addition, if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the replay role (the role that enables the start of the next game without using the player's own medal, the so-called replay role) is aligned on the effective line 86, the medal will be paid out. Although not, the number of bets can be automatically set and the game can be played without using the player's own medal in the next game.

(Role lottery means 210)
The winning combination lottery means 210 executes a winning combination lottery to determine the winning combination. That is, the winning combination lottery means 210 is for performing a winning combination lottery for winning or losing any one (one or a plurality of) of the plurality of winning combinations, triggered by the operation of the start switch 40. The role lottery means 210 is provided with a plurality of role lottery tables for determining whether or not a role has been won, as main categories, corresponding to each of the normal game state, the bonus internal medium state, and the bonus game state. It is stored in the ROM of the main control means 200. The combination lottery means 210 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values in a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not the prize is won.

The winning probability used for the winning combination lottery of the winning combination lottery means 210 is formed to be changeable by the manager of the game hall within a range programmed in advance by the winning combination lottery table (not shown). Specifically, by operating the setting change switch 46 inside the housing 12 for changing the setting value of a plurality of stages, which is a value for defining the winning probability, any one of the setting values of the plurality of stages is operated. One particular setting is selected. Then, the winning combination lottery means 210 performs a winning combination lottery with a predetermined lottery probability for each selected set value.

Further, the set value in the first embodiment is set in six stages from the set value "1" to "6". The set value is not limited to the six stages of the set values "1" to "6" as long as it has a plurality of stages, and may be, for example, "1.3.6" or "2.4.6". However, the set value in the first embodiment is preferably set to three or more stages because it is desirable that there are at least two suggestion candidates described later.

In the first embodiment, the winning combinations drawn by the winning combination lottery means 210 are roughly classified into a small winning combination, a replay winning combination, and a bonus transition winning combination (a winning combination with a transition of the gaming state).

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotating reel 62 based on the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. If necessary, the reel control means 220 may also set a condition for stopping whether or not the pressing order of the stop switches 50 conforms to a predetermined condition.

(Stop symbol determination means 230)
The stop symbol determination means 230 is for storing the combination of the symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped and for determining a winning or the like.

(Dividend granting means 240)
The dividend giving means 240 grants a predetermined dividend such as a medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. The payout giving means 240 pays out medals as a payout when it is determined that the small winning combination has won as a result of the determination of the stop symbol determining means 230.

(Game state control means 250)
The game state control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game state control means 250 includes, roughly classified, the normal game state control means 251, the bonus internal medium state control means 252, and the bonus game state control means 253.

(Normal game state control means 251)
The normal game state control means 251 controls the "normal game state" (see FIG. 10). Here, the normal game state refers to a state other than the bonus internal medium state by the bonus internal medium state control means 252 and the bonus game state by the bonus game state control means 253.

Further, the normal game state control means 251 counts the number of games in the normal game state. Specifically, the normal game state control means 251 starts counting by counting up from the initial value "0" when the normal game state is started, and counts the number of games when the normal game state is finished. When finished, the counted value is reset to "0".

(Bonus internal medium state control means 252)
The bonus internal medium state control means 252 controls the “bonus internal medium state” (see FIG. 10). Here, in the bonus internal medium state, for example, "CBB1" and "CBB2" were won as bonus transfer roles, but the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer role could not be stopped and displayed on the valid line 86. Migrate to the case.

(Bonus game state control means 253)
The bonus game state control means 253 controls the “bonus game state” (see FIG. 10).
The bonus game state is changed by winning, for example, "CBB1" and "CBB2" as the bonus transfer combination, and stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the effective line 86.

Here, the bonus game states "CBB1" and "CBB2" end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, 200 or more medals.
Then, after the bonus game state ends, the game shifts to the normal game state.

The bonus gaming state in the first embodiment is more advantageous for the player in that more medals can be expected to be obtained and the number of medals owned by the player increases as compared with the normal gaming state and the bonus internal medium state. ing. It should be noted that this bonus game state may be advantageous to the player who can expect to acquire medals to the extent that the medals owned by the player do not decrease, or is disadvantageous to the player who decreases the medals owned by the player. It may be in a state.

(Advantageous section control means 260)
The advantageous section control means 260 controls a non-advantageous section in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50, which will be described later, cannot be notified, and an advantageous section in which the stop switch 50 can be notified, using FIG. Then, the advantageous section control means 260 uses the sub-side notification means 520, which will be described later, to execute an effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 wins the transition lottery from the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", which is performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery. As a result, the “non-advantageous section” is shifted to the “advantageous section” (see FIG. 11).

In addition, it is not limited to the case where it is decided to shift to the advantageous section by the lottery (advantageous section transition lottery) executed when the winning combination is won in the combination lottery, and it is not limited to the case where the transition is made in advance. By winning the determined combination, the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section may be performed without drawing the advantageous section transition lottery.

Further, when the advantageous section control means 260 wins a predetermined combination by the combination lottery, the advantageous section control means 260 performs a transition lottery (AT transition lottery) for whether or not to shift from the advantageous section normal state to the AT state, and shifts to the AT. When the lottery is won, the advantageous section shifts from the normal state to the AT state.

It should be noted that the AT transition lottery may be performed based on the winning combination in the combination lottery, not limited to the case where the AT transition lottery is performed when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery. Further, when a predetermined winning combination is won by the winning combination lottery, the transition to the AT state may be performed without performing the AT transition lottery.

Further, the advantageous section control means 260 starts counting the number of games when the section shifts to the advantageous section, and the counted number of games reaches a predetermined number of games determined by the ceiling game number lottery, for example, 666 games. By doing so, it is made to shift to the AT state described later (so-called ceiling).
The predetermined number of games is not limited to the case where it is determined by lottery, and may be a predetermined number of games.

In addition, the upper limit of the advantageous section is set in the game section in which the game can be played, and when the predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games is exhausted after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, the upper limit of the advantageous section is set. Assuming that the number of games has been reached, the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section is made.

Further, in the first embodiment, even after the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section and before the predetermined maximum number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before the maximum number of games in the advantageous section is reached). When a predetermined number of balls (for example, so-called MY2400) are obtained, the game shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section even before the maximum number of games is exhausted. ..

In the advantageous section, even before the maximum number of games in the advantageous section is reached or before the acquisition of MY2400 cards, it is not advantageous from the advantageous section at any time such as the end of the bonus game state or the end of the AT state. It can also be transferred to a section.

(Suggestion lottery means 270)
The suggestion lottery means 270 executes a suggestion lottery in which one or more exclusion targets are determined from a predetermined number of suggestion candidates, and the determined exclusion targets are excluded from the suggestion candidates from the next time onward.

In the first embodiment, a predetermined number of suggestion candidates are set as "six-step setting values". Therefore, in the suggestion lottery in the first embodiment, one or more of the set values different from the preset set values are excluded in the setting suggestion effect in which the set value as the suggestion candidate is suggested to the player. It is said that it is a setting exclusion lottery to decide as. The details of the setting suggestion effect will be described later.

The "preset set value" is a setting change in a setting change state in which the setting key switch 45 is on (ON position) and the power switch 44 is on (power on). By operating the switch 46, it is a specific set value selected from the set values of 6 stages. Therefore, when the specific setting value selected by the operation of the setting change switch 46 is "6", the "preset setting value" becomes "6", which is different from the "preset setting value". The "set value" is "1 to 5". Then, the preset set value is stored in a predetermined storage area by the main control means 200, and is not changed to another value until a new set value change process is performed. Therefore, although the details will be described later, the preset setting value excluded from the suggestion candidates at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery will not be changed to another value until a new setting value change process is performed. There is.

The suggestion lottery means 270 executes a setting exclusion lottery each time a predetermined number of games are continued without satisfying a specific condition advantageous to the player.
In the first embodiment, the specific condition is "winning a bonus transfer combination". That is, the "winning of the bonus transfer role" related to the transition to the bonus game state in which more medals can be expected to be obtained than in the normal game state or the bonus internal medium state is a specific condition advantageous for the player.

The "predetermined number of games" is, for example, 300 games. Therefore, the suggestion lottery means 270 executes the setting exclusion lottery every time 300 games have passed (300 games, 600 games, 900 games, etc.) without winning the bonus transfer combination.

The suggestion lottery means 270 executes the setting exclusion lottery in a state where the preset setting value is excluded from the suggestion candidates among the set values of the six stages.
For example, when the "preset set value" is "6", the suggestion lottery means 270 executes the set exclusion lottery with the set value 6 excluded from the suggestion candidates.
The specific processing of the setting exclusion lottery will be described later.

(Main side notification means 280)
The main side notification means 280, which is an example of the notification means included in the main control means 200, notifies the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270.
The "notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target" is a notification mode indicating that the set value determined as the exclusion target is different from the preset set value.

The main side notification means 280 notifies the payout number display 88 of the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target. Hereinafter, the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target notified by the main side notification means 280 to the payout number display 88 will be referred to as a “main notification mode”. This main notification mode is a lighting pattern of seven segments (see FIG. 2) of the payout number display 88. And 30 kinds of main notification modes shown in FIG. 6 are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the main notification mode is notified using the payout number display 88 on the left side. The payout number display 88 on the right side is used to notify the pressing order.

This main notification mode is based on the set value to be excluded determined based on the set exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270, and the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery as an example of the lottery situation. The lighting patterns are different depending on the situation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the setting value to be excluded is "1" and the number of suggestion candidates (setting values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is "5", the main notification mode is the upper middle. The lighting pattern is such that only A (see FIG. 2) is lit. In addition, when the set value to be excluded is "1" and the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is "4", the main notification modes are the middle upper part A, the upper right part B, and the upper right part B. The lighting pattern is such that the lower right C (see FIG. 2) lights up. In FIG. 6, it is shown that the shaded segment is lit, and the segment not shaded is turned off.

As described above, the main side notification means 280 has a lottery status (suggestion candidate (set value)) at the time of execution of the setting exclusion lottery even if the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is the same. If the number) is different, different notification modes are notified according to the lottery status (the number of suggestion candidates (set values)).

As described above, in the first embodiment, the lottery status is set to "the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery". Therefore, "the lottery status is different" means, for example, that the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is "5" and "4".

The "different notification mode" is to light another lighting pattern among the 30 types of lighting patterns shown in FIG. For example, in different notification modes, even if the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is the same set value "1", the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery. When is "5", the lighting pattern corresponding to the notification information "$ 01" shown in FIG. 6 is lit, and the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is "4". In the case of ", it means that the lighting pattern corresponding to the notification information" $ 07 "described later shown in FIG. 6 is lit.

The main notification means 280 notifies the payout number display 88 of the main notification mode determined based on the setting exclusion lottery in a predetermined period after the setting exclusion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270. In the first embodiment, the predetermined period is set to "500 ms".

(Memory means 290)
The storage means 290 is for storing various information.

As shown in FIG. 7, the storage means 290 includes two set value storage areas capable of storing set values determined as exclusion targets based on the lottery result of the set exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270. The storage means 290 includes a first set value storage area shown in FIG. 7A and a second set value storage area shown in FIG. 7B as two set value storage areas.

The first set value storage area and the second set value storage area are composed of five RAM areas (RAM_A1 to RAM_A5, RAM_B1 to RAM_B5). Specifically, RAM_A1 to RAM_A5 are RAM areas corresponding to the first set value storage area, and RAM_B1 to RAM_B5 are RAM areas corresponding to the second set value storage area. Then, in the first set value storage area and the second set value storage area, the set values that are suggestion candidates corresponding to the preset set values are stored in the five RAM areas. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B), when the preset setting value is “6”, the first set value storage area and the second set value storage area are entered from the top row. The values of "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" are stored in this order.

Although not shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the preset setting value is "1" in the first set value storage area and the second set value storage area. In the case, the values of "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6" are stored in order from the top row, and when the preset setting value is "2", the values are stored in order from the top row. When the values of "1", "3", "4", "5", and "6" are stored and the preset setting value is "3", "1" and "2" are ordered from the top row. , "4", "5", "6" are stored, and when the preset setting value is "4", "1", "2", "3", "5" are ordered from the top row. , "6" are stored, and when the preset setting value is "5", the values of "1", "2", "3", "4", and "6" are ordered from the top row. Is stored.

Here, the first set value storage area is maintained in the initial state shown in FIG. 7A without changing the value stored in advance. On the other hand, in the second set value storage area, the content of the value stored from the initial state shown in FIG. 7B is changed each time the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is executed. The details will be described later.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the storage means 290 includes a notification table in which notification information indicating the notification mode of the payout number display 88 is stored. In this notification table, 30 notification information according to the set value to be excluded determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 and the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery are 30. It is stored individually.

(Management means 300)
The management means 300 is for managing various information stored in the storage means 290.
Specifically, the management means 300 manages various information stored in the storage means 290, and each time the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is executed, the second set value storage area shown in FIG. 7 (B) is executed. Change the contents of the value stored in.

Further, the management means 300 manages various information stored in the storage means 290, and when the bonus transfer combination is won, the management means 300 uses the value stored in the first setting value storage area to change the second setting. The contents of the value storage area are restored to the initial state shown in FIG. 7 (B). The management means 300 is set in advance after initializing the values of RAM_B1 to RAM_B5 in the second set value storage area when shifting from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section before winning the bonus transfer combination. The setting value that is a suggestion candidate may be stored again corresponding to the setting value.

(Transmission means 310)
The transmission means 310 is for transmitting a signal to the sub control means 500.
The transmission means 310 is, for example, transmitted with an input detection signal transmitted with the detection of the input sensor 92, an input operation signal transmitted with the detection by the bet switch 32, and a detection with the start switch 40. The start signal and the stop signal transmitted when the stop switch 50 detects the signal are transmitted to the sub control means 500.

Further, in addition to the signals corresponding to the detection of these switches, the transmitting means 310 can identify the gaming state managed by the main control means 200 (for example, whether it is in a gaming state or a non-gaming state). The game status signal for playing the game is also transmitted at an appropriate timing.

Further, the transmission means 310 transmits the notification information indicating the notification mode of the payout number display 88 corresponding to the set value determined based on the setting exclusion lottery to the sub control means 500. For example, the transmission means 310 transmits "$ 01", "$ 02", etc. shown in FIG. 8 to the sub control means 500 as notification information. However, in order to prevent the set value information from being illegally acquired, the transmitting means 310 does not transmit the set value information to the sub control means 500 when the game is possible. When the transmitting means 310 transmits the information of the set value to the sub-control means 500, it is transmitted before the game becomes possible (example: during the setting change state, at the end of the setting change state).

(Sub control means 500)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub control means 500 includes each of the receiving means 510 and the sub-side notifying means 520. Details of each means will be described later.
With the above configuration, the sub control means 500 receives a signal from the main control means 200 and performs an effect as the game progresses.

Specifically, the sub-control means 500 outputs data that regulates the lighting and extinguishing of the LED to the LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Video data that specifies the sound to be output to the sound output circuit (not shown) for output, or is output to the liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display unit 84. Outputs the data that specifies.

(Receiving means 510)
The receiving means 510 receives the signal from the transmitting means 310.

(Sub-side notification means 520)
The sub-side notification means 520, which is an example of the notification means included in the sub-control means 500, causes the display unit 84 to display the setting suggestion effect.

As shown in FIG. 9, the sub-side notification means 520 displays on the display unit 84 a display corresponding to each of the six levels of set values (hereinafter referred to as “set value display 84A”) in the setting suggestion effect. Each time the setting exclusion lottery is executed, a display indicating that the setting value determined based on the setting exclusion lottery is different from the preset setting value (hereinafter referred to as "exclusion display 84B") and during the stay The stage display 84C, which indicates the stage, is displayed.

The setting value display 84A is of "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6" indicating the setting values of six stages displayed in the display area at the bottom of the display unit 84, respectively. It's a number.
The exclusion display 84B is a display of a cross mark superimposed on the number indicated as the setting value display 84A.
The stage display 84C is composed of characters displayed in the upper display area of the display unit 84 (example: XX stage, □□ stage) and an image displayed in the central display area of the display unit 84. ..

That is, the sub-side notification means 520 displays the exclusion display 84B on the display unit 84, thereby displaying the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 on the display unit 84. There is.

Further, even if the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is the same, the sub-side notification means 520 has a lottery status (the number of suggestion candidates (set values)) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery. If they are different, different notification modes are notified according to the lottery status (the number of suggestion candidates (set values)).

For example, the sub-side notification means 520 is a suggestion candidate (set value) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery even if the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is the same set value "2". When the number of is "5", the stage display 84C indicating that the player is staying in the XX stage shown in FIG. 9 (A) is displayed, and the suggestion candidate (set value) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is displayed. When the number of is "4", the stage display 84C indicating that the player is staying at the □□ stage shown in FIG. 9B is displayed.

That is, in both FIGS. 9 (A) and 9 (B), the exclusion display 84B in which the cross mark is superimposed on the number “2” shown as the setting value display 84A is displayed, but the setting exclusion Since the lottery status (the number of suggestion candidates (set values)) at the time of executing the lottery is different, different notification modes are notified according to the lottery status (the number of suggestion candidates (set values)).

The sub-side notification means 520 displays on the display unit 84 the notification mode corresponding to the notification information transmitted from the transmission means 310 in the setting suggestion effect.

The “notification mode corresponding to the notification information” is the notification mode of the display unit 84 corresponding to the main notification mode determined based on the setting exclusion lottery. For example, in the case of indicating that the set value to be excluded is "1" in the main notification mode determined based on the setting exclusion lottery, that is, the main notification mode is "$ 01, $ 07, $ 0D" shown in FIG. , $ 13, $ 19 ”, the sub-side notification means 520 has a cross mark superimposed on the number“ 1 ”shown as the set value display 84A as the notification mode corresponding to the notification information. The exclusion display 84B is displayed.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 10)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The game state is managed by the main control means 200, and as shown in FIG. 10, the game state is roughly classified into a normal game state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal game state (NOM) is controlled by the normal game state control means 251.
The winning probability for the replay combination in the normal game state is set to normal (1 / 7.3).

If the bonus transfer combination is won by the combination lottery in the normal game state and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the normal game state is changed to the bonus internal medium state and stopped. If it is displayed, it shifts to the bonus game state.

(Internal bonus state)
The bonus internal medium state is controlled by the bonus internal medium state control means 252, and in the normal game state, for example, "CBB1" and "CBB2" are won as bonus transfer combinations, and the bonus transition combinations "CBB1" and "CBB2" are selected. When the symbol combination corresponding to "" is not stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the transition is made.

Specifically, if the bonus transfer combination "CBB1" is won, it will be transferred to "CBB1F", and if the bonus transfer combination "CBB2" is won, it will be transferred to "CBB2F".
The probability of winning the replay role in the bonus internal medium state is set higher than in the normal game state.

In addition, a plurality of bonus internal medium states are provided corresponding to each of the plurality of bonus game states.
Specifically, it is possible to shift from the bonus game state "CBB1F" to the bonus game state "CBB1", and from the bonus game state "CBB2F" to the bonus game state "CBB2".

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is controlled by the bonus game state control means 253, and in the first embodiment, for example, "CBB1" and "CBB2" are won as bonus transfer combinations, and the bonus transition combinations "CBB1" and "CBB2" are selected. When the symbol combination corresponding to "" is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the transition is made.
The winning probability for the replay combination in the bonus game state is set to "0".

In the first embodiment, the bonus game state is "CBB1" that can be transferred when the bonus transfer combination "CBB1" is won, and "CBB2" that can be transferred when the bonus transfer combination "CBB2" is won. Each is provided.

Here, in the first embodiment, the "CBB" is only a so-called two-card bet with only two specified numbers, the so-called challenge bonus (CB) operates continuously, and ends with the payout of more than 200 medals. To do.
Then, after the end of "CBB", the state shifts to the normal gaming state (NOM).

In addition, in the CB as the second type special accessory in this "CBB", the small winning combination is established (winning) regardless of the lottery. Further, in other games other than during the CB, for example, in the bonus non-winning state, all the rotating reels 62 must be stopped within 190 ms from the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50, whereas in the CB. , Only the counterclockwise reel 64 is set to stop within 75 ms from the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50. The middle rotation reel 66 and the right rotation reel 68 are set with a time limit within 190 ms from the stop operation timing as in other games.

(Explanation of advantageous section using FIG. 11)
As shown in FIG. 11, when the push order combination, which is a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in a predetermined push order by the combination lottery, is won, the push order cannot be notified to the player. It is possible to shift from the "non-advantageous section" and the "non-advantageous section", and if the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the winning combination lottery, the winning winning combination is won. There is an "advantageous section" in which the player can be notified of the push order.

The "non-advantageous section" is a section excluding the "advantageous section" and includes a "non-advantageous section normal state".
From the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section", in the first embodiment, when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery, the advantageous section transition lottery from the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section" is performed. Then, the transfer will be made by winning the advantageous section transition lottery.

In the first embodiment, the winning probability of the advantageous section transition lottery is set to a high probability, and the transition to the advantageous section is set in several games of the non-advantageous section.

In addition, the "non-advantageous section" to the "advantageous section" is not limited to the case of shifting by winning the advantageous section transition lottery, which is performed when a predetermined combination is won by the combination lottery. If a predetermined combination is won, the advantageous section may be transferred to the advantageous section without drawing a lottery.

(Advantageous section)
The "advantageous section" is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the "non-advantageous section", and includes an "advantageous section normal state" and an "AT state".

Here, the section advantageous to the player is, for example, in the non-advantageous section, the push order combination that wins a prize when the stop switch 50 is operated in the push order predetermined by the combination lottery is won. Even in the case, the game is changed from a state in which it was impossible to notify the player of the push order to a possible state, or an AT state that is not executed in the non-advantageous section is executed. It is a section that is advantageous to people.

Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to be advantageous throughout the "advantageous section", and it may not be advantageous for the player in a part of the "advantageous section".
Further, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, the upper limit of the game section in which the advantageous section can be played, in the first embodiment, when a predetermined upper limit number of games, for example, 1500 games is exhausted, the advantageous section Assuming that the maximum number of games has been reached, the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section is made.

Therefore, the main control means 200 is provided with an upper limit game number counter, and counts the number of digested games after shifting to the advantageous section in order to determine whether or not a predetermined upper limit game number (1500 games) is reached.

In addition, after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, even before the predetermined maximum number of games (1500 games) is exhausted (before reaching the maximum number of games in the advantageous section), medals inserted in the advantageous section When the difference number, which is the difference between the number of medals and the number of medals paid out, reaches a predetermined number (upper limit difference number), taking this as an opportunity, even before the upper limit number of games is exhausted, from the advantageous section. I am trying to shift to a non-advantageous section.

Here, the difference in the number of medals, which is the difference between the number of medals inserted in the advantageous section and the number of medals paid out, is, for example, the state where the number of medals is the smallest in the advantageous section and the state where the number of medals is the largest in the advantageous section. The number obtained by the difference, so-called MY.

Therefore, in the main control means 200, in order to determine whether or not the difference number of sheets (so-called MY2400 sheets) of a predetermined number is reached, the number of input sheets and the number of payout sheets after shifting to the advantageous section are counted.

(Advantageous section normal state)
The advantageous section normal state is a state excluding a special state such as an "AT state" in the "advantageous section".

The advantageous section normal state is a state in which the non-advantageous section normal state of the non-advantageous section is continued, and the same effect as the non-advantageous section normal state is performed. That is, the difference between the non-advantageous section normal state and the advantageous section normal state is whether the staying section is a "non-advantageous section" or an "advantageous section".

(AT state)
The "AT state" is a state more advantageous to the player than the advantageous section normal state.
When the state shifts to the "AT state", a game (AT) in which the push order of the winning combination is notified (push order navigation) is started as a notification effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined role, and the notified push is started. By operating the stop switch 50 in order, the combination of the winning small winning combination and the replay winning symbol 61 can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.

The "AT state" is a state in which the player shifts by winning the above-mentioned AT transition lottery.
Further, in the "AT state", the number of games for which counting is started after shifting from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section reaches the number of games (666 games, etc.) determined by the above-mentioned ceiling game number lottery (such as 666 games). The so-called ceiling) is also used for the transition.

Then, after the end of the "AT state", the non-advantageous section shifts to the normal state.
The "advantageous section" is not limited to the normal state or the AT state of the advantageous section, and there is a high probability that the precursory state in which the precursory effect suggesting the transition to the AT state is executed or the AT state can be transitioned to. It may be provided with a state such as an additional state in which a gaming section in a zone state or an AT state can be added.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 12)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, a general game control process executed by the main control means 200 for each game will be described.
In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the bet number cannot be set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, step S10 is performed again.

As a premise of this step S10, the bet number setting process is performed. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined bet number (3 or 2 bets) is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets in the game has reached the specified number of bets (3 or 2).

In step S11, the winning combination lottery process is performed by the winning combination lottery means 210. At this time, the result of the winning combination lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 500. When the winning combination lottery process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

In step S12, the rotation fluctuation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotary reel 62 is operated, the reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200, and is also stored. It is read in the subsequent processing.

Further, after all the stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of the full rotation reel 62 is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 500. Then, when the rotation fluctuation processing of all the rotating reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.

In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a stop symbol determination process for determining whether or not a combination of symbols 61 having a predetermined combination is aligned with the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 500. Then, when the determination process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

In step S14, the payout giving means 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. As a result of the determination, if the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process is terminated.

(Setting suggestion production)
Next, the flow of the setting suggestion effect will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. This setting suggestion effect is executed during the stay in the normal gaming state. For example, the setting suggestion effect is executed when the setting change state is canceled and the normal game state (non-advantageous section normal state) is started. When the setting suggestion effect is executed, the setting suggestion effect continues until the bonus transition combination is won in the normal game state.

In step S20, the lottery number determination process is performed by the suggestion lottery means 270. At this time, the suggestion lottery means 270 determines the number of lottery in the setting exclusion lottery based on the number of games in the normal game state counted by the normal game state control means 251. Specifically, the suggestion lottery means 270 determines the lottery number to "5" when the number of games in the normal game state counted by the normal game state control means 251 reaches 300 games, and reaches 600 games. If so, the number of lottery is determined to be "4", the number of lottery is determined to be "3" when 900 games are reached, and the number of lottery is determined to be "2" when 1200 games are reached. When the number of games reaches 1500, the number of lottery is determined to be "1". Then, the process proceeds to the next step S21.

In step S21, the setting exclusion lottery process, that is, the setting exclusion lottery is performed by the suggestion lottery means 270 based on the operation of the start switch 40 in the game. In the setting exclusion lottery performed here, the random number generated by the random number generation means (random number generation circuit) (not shown) is divided by the number of lottery determined in step S20, and the remainder is calculated. For example, when the random number is "10" and the number of lottery determined in step S20 is "5", the lottery result of the setting exclusion lottery by the suggestion lottery means 270 is that the random number "10" is the number of lottery "5". The remainder after dividing by "pieces" gives "0". Then, the process proceeds to the next step S22.

In step S22, the second set value storage area acquisition process is performed by the main side notification means 280. The main side notification means 280 acquires five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5) in which the set values as suggestion candidates are stored corresponding to the preset set values. For example, when the preset setting value is "6", the main side notification means 280 has "1", "2", and "3" in order from the top row, as shown in FIG. 7 (B). , "4", and "5" are stored in five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5). Then, the process proceeds to the next step S23.

In step S23, the notification information acquisition process is performed by the main notification means 280. First, the main side notification means 280 acquires the lottery result of the setting exclusion lottery in step S21 (example: “0”). Next, the main side notification means 280 has a set value determined as an exclusion target from the five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5) acquired in step S22 according to the lottery result of the setting exclusion lottery in step S21. To get.

The set value stored in each of the above RAMs corresponds to the remainder obtained by dividing the random number by the number of lottery, which can be calculated as the lottery result of the setting exclusion lottery. Specifically, it corresponds in order from the smallest absolute value of the remainder to the RAM in the top row.

For example, when the number of lottery is "5", the remainders that can be calculated are "0", "1", "2", "3", and "4". In this case, the main side notification means 280 acquires the set value stored in RAM_B1 if the remainder is "0", acquires the set value stored in RAM_B2 if the remainder is "1", and the remainder is. If it is "2", the setting value stored in RAM_B3 is acquired, if the remainder is "3", the setting value stored in RAM_B4 is acquired, and if the remainder is "4", the setting stored in RAM_B5 is acquired. Get the value (see FIG. 7B).

Therefore, as described above, when the lottery result of the setting exclusion lottery in step S21 is set to "0" and the preset set value is set to "6", the main side notification means 280 is stored in the RAM_B1. Acquires the set value "1". That is, here, the set value 1 is determined as the exclusion target based on the setting exclusion lottery.

Next, the main side notification means 280 uses the set value acquired from RAM_B1 above and the number of lottery determined in step S20, that is, the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery. Notification information is acquired from the notification table shown in FIG.

Therefore, as described above, when the set value acquired from RAM_B1 is set to "1" and the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is set to "5", the main side notification means 280 From the notification table shown in FIG. 8, "$ 01" is acquired as notification information. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S24.

In step S24, the transmission means 310 performs the notification information transmission process. First, the transmission means 310 acquires the notification information acquired by the main notification means 280 in step S23 (example: "$ 01"). Next, the transmitting means 310 transmits the acquired notification information to the sub-control means 500. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S25.

In step S25, the management means 300 performs the second set value storage area update process.
In the second set value storage area update process, the management means 300 stores the set value determined as the exclusion target acquired in step S23 out of the five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5) acquired in step S22. The set values stored in the RAM on the line below the RAM are written to the RAM on the next line in order.

Hereinafter, the flow of the second set value storage area update process will be described with reference to FIG. In the second set value storage area update process, the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is set to "5", the preset set value is set to "6", and in step S23. The set value determined as the acquired exclusion target is set to "1".

As shown in FIG. 14 (A), before the second set value storage area update process is performed, the set value "1" is stored in RAM_B1, the set value "2" is stored in RAM_B2, and the set value is set in RAM_B3. The value "3" is stored, the set value "4" is stored in RAM_B4, and the set value "5" is stored in RAM_B5.

In the second set value storage area update process, the management means 300 first writes the set value "2" stored in the RAM_B2 one line below the RAM_B1 in which the set value "1" is stored to the RAM_B1. Next, the management means 300 writes the set value "3" stored in the RAM_B3 one line below the RAM_B2 in which the set value "2" is stored to the RAM_B2. Next, the management means 300 writes the set value "4" stored in the RAM_B4 one line below the RAM_B3 in which the set value "3" is stored to the RAM_B3. Next, the management means 300 writes the set value "5" stored in the RAM_B5 one line below the RAM_B4 in which the set value "4" is stored to the RAM_B4.

After that, the management means 300 erases the data in the RAM_B5 in which the set value "5" is stored.

As a result of the second set value storage area update process performed by the management means 300, the five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5) are updated as shown in FIG. 14 (B). Specifically, after the update, as shown in FIG. 14 (B), the set value "2" is stored in RAM_B1, the set value "3" is stored in RAM_B2, and the set value "4" is stored in RAM_B3. Then, the set value "5" is stored in the RAM_B4, and the RAM_B5 becomes an empty value. That is, before the second setting value storage area update process was performed, five setting values "1" to "5" were suggestion candidates (setting values) that could be determined as exclusion targets, but the second setting After the value storage area update process is performed, the four set values "2" to "5" become suggestion candidates (set values) that can be determined as exclusion targets.
Then, after the second set value storage area update process is performed, the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 13 ends.

In the above-mentioned second set value storage area update process, the case where the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is "5" has been described, but the suggestion at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery has been described. When the number of candidates (set values) is another number such as "4", the second set value storage area update process is performed in the same flow. That is, since the determined exclusion target is excluded from the suggestion candidates from the next time onward, the number of suggestion candidates (set values) decreases each time the setting exclusion lottery is executed, but the suggestion at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery. The second set value storage area update process is performed in the same flow regardless of the number of candidates (set values).

As another example, the number of suggestion candidates (set values) at the time of executing the setting exclusion lottery is set to "4", the preset set value is set to "6", and the set value acquired in step S23 is set to "4". The flow of the second set value storage area update process will be described.

As shown in FIG. 14C, before the second set value storage area update process is performed, the set value "2" is stored in RAM_B1, the set value "3" is stored in RAM_B2, and the set value "3" is set in RAM_B3. The value "4" is stored, the set value "5" is stored in RAM_B4, and RAM_B5 is an empty value.

In the second set value storage area update process, the management means 300 first writes the set value "5" stored in the RAM_B4 one line below the RAM_B3 in which the set value "4" is stored to the RAM_B3. After that, the management means 300 erases the data in the RAM_B4 in which the set value "5" is stored.

As a result of the second set value storage area update process performed by the management means 300, the five RAM areas (RAM_B1 to RAM_B5) are updated as shown in FIG. 14 (D). Specifically, after the update, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the set value "2" is stored in RAM_B1, the set value "3" is stored in RAM_B2, and the set value "5" is stored in RAM_B3. Then, RAM_B4 and RAM_B5 are in an empty state.

Further, although not shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, based on the acquisition of the notification information in step S23, the main side notification means 280 sets the notification mode corresponding to the notification information by a lottery for exclusion of setting. As the main notification mode determined based on the above, the payout number display 88 is notified. As described above, the main notification means 280 notifies the payout number display 88 of the main notification mode determined based on the setting exclusion lottery only for 500 ms after the setting exclusion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270.

Further, the sub-control means 500 displays the notification mode corresponding to the notification information by the sub-side notification means 520 based on the reception means 510 receiving the notification information transmitted from the transmission means 310 in step S24. Display on 84. At this time, the sub-side notification means 520 causes the display unit 84 to display the notification mode corresponding to the notification information after the so-called third stop in the game. That is, the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is displayed on the display unit 84 after the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is notified to the payout number display 88.

Hereinafter, the notification mode of the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84 in the setting suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.
15 and 16 both show a setting suggestion effect when the preset setting value is “6”. Note that, in FIGS. 15 and 16, only the set value display 84A and the exclusion display 84B are shown as the notification mode of the display unit 84 in the setting suggestion effect, and the stage display 84C is not shown.

(Other)
In the above embodiment, in the setting suggestion effect, after the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is notified to the payout number display 88, the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is displayed on the display unit 84. .. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the triggers for notifying the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84 of the notification mode corresponding to the notification information may be simultaneous.

In the above embodiment, in the setting suggestion effect, "1", "2", "3", "4", "1", "2", "3", "4", are displayed on the display unit 84 as displays (setting value display 84A) corresponding to each of the six stages of setting values. It was decided to display the numbers "5" and "6". However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as the set value display 84A, a plurality of types of characters corresponding to each of the six levels of set values may be displayed on the display unit 84. For example, in the setting suggestion effect, all the characters of a plurality of types are initially displayed on the display unit 84, and each time the setting exclusion lottery is executed, the character corresponding to the setting value determined based on the setting exclusion lottery is displayed. It may be erased from the part 84.

In the above embodiment, a predetermined number of suggestion candidates are set as "six-step setting values", but the present invention is not limited to this, and the suggestion candidates may be as follows.

For example, the suggestion candidate may be "the number of continuations of the AT state acquired during the AT state". In this case, during the AT state, a continuous lottery for determining the number of times the AT state is continued is executed, and after the end of the AT state, the game is shifted to the pullback state for four games. Then, in the pullback state, a continuation suggestion effect suggesting the number of continuations of the AT state is performed as a suggestion effect in which the suggestion candidate is suggested to the player. In this case as well, as in the above embodiment, the numbers "1", "2", "3", and "4" corresponding to each of the number of continuations of the AT state that can be acquired (example: 1 to 5 times). , "5" are displayed on the display unit 84, and the suggestion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270 in a state where the number of continuations of the AT state (eg, 3 times) acquired in the AT state is excluded from the suggestion candidates. Therefore, in the fourth game, which is the final game in the pullback state, the display (3) corresponding to the number of continuations of the AT state (example: 3 times) acquired in the AT state and other numbers (example: 2) are displayed. The remaining state is reached, and the number of continuations of the AT state acquired in the AT state is "3 times" by superimposing the exclusion display 84B on another number (example: 2) after the so-called third stop in the game. Can be suggested to the player.

As described above, in the case of performing the above suggestion effect, the display remaining on the display unit 84 until the end is not limited to being determined before the start of the game (at the time of turning on the power) as in the above embodiment, and the game. You may decide inside. In addition, the number remaining until the end may be determined in a plurality of games or within a certain period of time. Further, the number remaining until the end is not limited to being set by the external input switch (setting change switch 46) as in the above embodiment, and may be determined by a predetermined lottery (continuous lottery). In addition, the number remaining until the end is not limited to the fact that once confirmed as in the above embodiment, it does not change again, and it may change depending on the progress of the game, such as being different between one state and another. You may.

In the above embodiment, the setting exclusion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270 each time a predetermined number of games (300 games) are continued. However, not limited to this, the predetermined number of games may be more or less than 300 games.

Further, in the above embodiment, by continuing the game period of 300 games five times, the result of the setting suggestion effect as the suggestion effect in which the suggestion candidate is suggested to the player, that is, the preset set value is the game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the result of the suggestion effect may be revealed to the player within the game of one game.

For example, in this case, the suggestion candidate is set to "the number of additional games in the AT state", and an additional state capable of shifting from the AT state is provided based on the winning of a predetermined rare role. Then, in the additional state, the advantageous section control means 260 executes an additional lottery for determining the number of additional games in the AT state.

Further, in the additional state, as a suggestion effect in which the suggestion candidate is suggested to the player, an additional suggestion effect suggesting the number of additional games in the AT state is performed. In this case as well, as in the above embodiment, the numbers corresponding to each of the number of additional games in the AT state (eg, "5 games", "10 games", "15 games", "20 games") that can be acquired. A certain "5", "10", "15", "20" is displayed on the display unit 84.

First, triggered by the operation of the start switch 40, the additional lottery is executed by the advantageous section control means 260, and the number of additional games (eg, 15 games) to be acquired in the additional state is determined.

Next, with the so-called first stop in the game as an opportunity, the number of additional games in the AT state (eg, 15 games) determined in the additional state is excluded from the suggestion candidates, and the suggestion lottery means 270 is used for the first time. A suggestion lottery is executed. Then, the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target (example: 5 games) determined based on the first suggestion lottery is notified to the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84. That is, the payout number display 88 lights up in a lighting pattern corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the suggestion lottery, and the display unit 84 superimposes the exclusion display 84B on the number “5”.

Next, with the so-called second stop in the game as an opportunity, the number of additional games in the AT state determined in the additional state (example: 15 games) and the number of additional games "5" which are the determined exclusion targets are suggested candidates. The second suggestion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270 in the state of being excluded from. Then, the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target (example: 10 games) determined based on the second suggestion lottery is notified to the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84. That is, the payout number display 88 lights up in a lighting pattern corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the suggestion lottery, and the display unit 84 superimposes the exclusion display 84B on the number “10”.

Next, triggered by the so-called third stop in the game, the number of additional games in the AT state determined in the additional state (example: 15 games) and the number of additional games "5" and "10" which are the determined exclusion targets. Is excluded from the suggestion candidates, and the suggestion lottery means 270 executes the third suggestion lottery. Then, the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target (example: 20 games) determined based on the third suggestion lottery is notified to the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84. That is, the payout number display 88 lights up in a lighting pattern corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the suggestion lottery, and the display unit 84 superimposes the exclusion display 84B on the number “20”.

Therefore, when the third stop of the additional state is triggered, only the display (15) corresponding to the number of additional games in the AT state (example: 15 games) acquired in the additional state remains on the display unit 84, and the additional game is added. It is possible to suggest to the player that the number of additional games in the AT state acquired in the state is "15 games".

In addition, as the lottery result of the additional lottery described above, "0 game", that is, "no additional lottery" may be included. In this case, four numbers (example: "0", "5", "10", "20") including the number (0) corresponding to the lottery result of the additional lottery shall be displayed on the display unit 84. It becomes.

In the above embodiment, one exclusion target is determined in one setting exclusion lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more exclusion targets may be determined in one setting exclusion lottery.

Further, the number of notifications in one setting suggestion effect may be determined by a predetermined lottery. For example, when the setting suggestion effect is executed, the advantageous section control means 260 executes a notification number determination lottery for determining the number of notifications in the setting suggestion effect. In the following, a case where the preset setting value is set to "6" and the setting value different from the preset setting value is set to "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" will be described.

As a result, when the number of notifications is determined to be "4 times", it corresponds to the exclusion target (example: set value 1) determined based on the first setting exclusion lottery as the first notification number. The exclusion display 84B is superimposed on the number of "1". Next, as the second notification number, the exclusion display 84B is superimposed on the number "2" corresponding to the exclusion target (example: set value 2) determined based on the second setting exclusion lottery. Next, as the third notification number, the exclusion display 84B is superimposed on the number "3" corresponding to the exclusion target (example: set value 3) determined based on the third setting exclusion lottery.

Then, as the fourth notification number, the exclusion display 84B is superimposed on the numbers (eg, "4", "5") corresponding to all the remaining set values different from the preset set value "6". Therefore, at the fourth time of the notification number, the result of the setting suggestion effect, that is, the preset set value can be made known to the player.

That is, at the time of the final notification in the setting suggestion effect, the preset set value is not limited to the alternative state of the set value different from the preset set value, and is the last in the setting suggestion effect. At the time of notification, the player may be made to know the preset setting value at once from the state in which a total of three or more preset values and setting values different from the preset setting values remain. ..

In addition, when the exclusion display 84B is superimposed on a plurality of numbers at one time, the exclusion display 84B may be superimposed on a plurality of numbers at the same time, and the exclusion display 84B may be superimposed on the plurality of numbers at a speed that is difficult for the player to distinguish. The exclusion display 84B may be superimposed on the. In addition, when the exclusion display 84B is superimposed on a plurality of numbers in order at a speed that is difficult for the above player to distinguish, the setting exclusion lottery is continuously executed and the numbers determined in the setting exclusion lottery are deleted in order. You may try to do it.

In the above embodiment, the specific condition is "winning of the bonus transfer combination", but the specific condition may be another condition as long as it is advantageous for the player. For example, the specific condition may be "determination of transition to AT state", "confirmation of transition to additional state", or the like. Further, although the specific condition is set as "advantageous for the player", the specific condition may be set as "disadvantageous for the player". For example, when the specific condition is set to "disadvantageous to the player", every time the number of AT games (eg 100 games), which is the number of games in the AT state, reaches the specified number of games (eg 80 games, 60 games). Games, 40 games, 20 games, 0 games), setting exclusion lottery may be executed.

In the above embodiment, the main notification mode is the lighting pattern shown in FIG. 6, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, as the main notification mode, the payout number display 88 on the left side is not limited to be used, and the payout number display 88 on the right side may be used, or the payout number display 88 on the left side and the right side may be used. Further, as the main notification mode, the payout number display 88 is not limited to be used, and the credit display 87 may be used, or the credit display 87 and the payout number display 88 may be used.

In the above embodiment, the predetermined period is set to "500 ms", and the main notification means 280 sets the main notification mode determined based on the setting exclusion lottery in 500 ms after the setting exclusion lottery is executed by the suggestion lottery means 270. It was decided to notify the payout number display 88. However, if the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is notified to the payout number display 88 and then the notification mode corresponding to the notification information is displayed on the display unit 84, the predetermined period is set to "500 ms". It is not limited to this, and may be longer or shorter (eg, in the range of 50 ms to 1000 ms).

In the above embodiment, the exclusion display 84B is displayed as a cross mark superimposed on the number indicated as the set value display 84A, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the exclusion display 84B may be a strikethrough or double strikethrough display superimposed on the number indicated as the set value display 84A. Further, the exclusion display 84B may be another image superimposed on the number indicated as the setting value display 84A. By superimposing the other images on the set value display 84A, a part of the set value display 84A may be visible to the player, or the entire set value display 84A may be invisible to the player. ..

In the above embodiment, the notification mode in the display unit 84 corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery is “exclusion display 84B”, but the exclusion display 84B may not be used as this notification mode. For example, as a notification mode in the display unit 84 corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery, a display in which a part of the numbers indicated as the setting value display 84A may be deleted may be used. That is, it is not necessary to use the exclusion display 84B by preparing a plurality of images in which some numbers have been deleted in advance as the set value display 84A.

In the above embodiment, the non-advantageous section in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50 cannot be notified and the advantageous section in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50 can be notified are provided, but the configuration may not include the advantageous section. That is, the gaming machine 10 on which the above setting suggestion effect is performed may be configured not to have the AT state.

In the above embodiment, in the game in which the setting exclusion lottery is executed, the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84 are notified of the notification mode corresponding to the exclusion target determined based on the setting exclusion lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an opportunity for notifying the above notification mode may be provided other than the game in which the setting exclusion lottery is executed.

For example, in the setting exclusion lottery when the number of games in the normal game state reaches 300 games, if the setting value 2 is determined as the exclusion target, the 350th game before the number of games in the normal game state reaches 600 games. , 400th game, 450th game, 500th game, etc., the notification mode corresponding to the set value 2 may be notified to the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84 without executing the setting exclusion lottery.

In addition, the set value 2 is determined as an exclusion target in the setting exclusion lottery when the number of games in the normal game state reaches 300 games, and the set value is set in the setting exclusion lottery when the number of games in the normal game state reaches 600 games. If 4 is determined as an exclusion target, the setting exclusion lottery is executed in the 650th game, 700th game, 750th game, 800th game, etc. before the number of games in the normal gaming state reaches 900 games. Instead, the payout number display 88 and the display unit 84 may be notified of the notification mode corresponding to the set value 2 and the set value 4.

In the above embodiment, only the setting suggestion effect based on the execution of the setting exclusion lottery is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition to this setting suggestion effect, a condition different from the execution of the setting exclusion lottery is satisfied. Other setting suggestion effects to be performed may be provided.

For example, other setting suggestion effects may be performed at the end of the bonus game state. Then, in another setting suggestion effect, the setting value may be suggested according to the type of the character displayed on the display unit 84.

Then, in the other setting suggestion effect, when the setting value 2 is determined as the exclusion target in the setting suggestion effect performed based on the execution of the setting exclusion lottery, a character suggesting an even number of setting values is displayed on the display unit 84. It is conceivable to match the setting values suggested by both setting suggestion effects. However, in other setting suggestion effects, when the setting value 2 is determined to be excluded in the setting suggestion effect performed based on the execution of the setting exclusion lottery, a character suggesting an odd number of setting values is displayed on the display unit 84. Therefore, the setting values suggested by both setting suggestion effects may be different.

In the above embodiment, the set value display 84A and the exclusion display 84B are always displayed on the display unit 84 during the setting suggestion effect. However, not limited to this, the setting value display 84A and the exclusion display 84B are not displayed on the display unit 84 for a certain period during the setting suggestion effect, or the player operates the effect button switch 42 during the setting suggestion effect. It may be decided that it is displayed on the display unit 84 only when this is done.

In the above embodiment, the setting exclusion lottery and the setting suggestion effect are executed according to the number of games in the normal gaming state while staying in the non-advantageous section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the setting exclusion lottery and the setting suggestion effect may be executed according to an opportunity related to the advantageous section, such as the number of elapsed games in the advantageous section and the difference number in the advantageous section (so-called MY).

For example, when the setting exclusion lottery and the setting suggestion effect are executed according to the number of elapsed games in the advantageous section, the upper limit game of the advantageous section is executed, such as the 500th game, the 1000th game, the 1200th game, and the 1400th game. It is desirable to run in the game before reaching the number (1500 games).

For example, when the setting exclusion lottery and the setting suggestion effect are executed according to the difference number of sheets (so-called MY) in the advantageous section, the upper limit number of sheets of the difference number (500 sheets, 1000 sheets, 1500 sheets, 2000 sheets, etc.) It is desirable to execute the game before reaching the so-called MY2400 sheets).

In the above embodiment, when the number of games in the normal game state reaches the predetermined number of games, the setting suggestion effect is executed. However, not limited to this, when the number of games in the normal game state reaches the predetermined number of games and other effects such as a precursor effect of the specified number of games are being executed, the setting is suggested until the effect is completed. The execution of the production may be postponed. That is, by adjusting the execution timing of the setting suggestion effect by referring to the effect when the number of games in the normal game state reaches the predetermined number of games, other effects may not be hindered.

Further, contrary to the above, when the number of games in the normal game state reaches the predetermined number of games, even if other effects such as a precursor effect of the specified number of games are executed, the setting suggestion effect is prioritized. You may do it. That is, when the number of games in the normal gaming state reaches the predetermined number of games, other effects may not interfere with the setting suggestion effect.
