Description

The present invention is provided with a variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each, and after the variable display unit is variablely displayed, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped to derive a display result. , The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result.

Slot machines generally have a variable display unit having reels on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn as identification information on the outer peripheral portion, and a start switch is operated in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set. When the reel starts to rotate and the stop switch is operated to stop the rotation of the reel, a predetermined symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter, the symbol combination is displayed as a display result combination, or A prize is generated by deriving a role).

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

As such a slot machine, it is possible to control the advantageous section in which the pressing position and the stop order are instructed at least once for the winning combination related to the winning combination in which the maximum number of winnings can be obtained, and the normal section other than the advantageous section. Therefore, when the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section is decided, there is one that can be controlled to an advantageous gaming state by lottery (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2019-179

In the slot machine described above, when the transition from the first gaming state such as the normal section to the second gaming state such as the advantageous section is determined, it seems that a lottery regarding the control to the advantageous gaming state is performed.

Game auxiliary display 12 that displays an error code, etc., 1BETLED14 that notifies by lighting that the number of bets is set to 1, 2BETLED15 that notifies by lighting that the number of bets is set to 2, and 3 settings to the number of bets. 3BETLED16 that notifies by lighting that the game is being inserted, insertion request LED17 that notifies by lighting that a medal can be inserted, and start effective LED18 that notifies by lighting that the game start operation by operating the start switch 7 is effective. , A game display unit 13 provided with a state LED 19 for notifying by lighting that the state is controlled to an advantageous section AT or the like, which will be described later, and a replay LED 20 for notifying by lighting that the replay game is in progress. There is.

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

The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output of the speaker 53 is stored in the RAM 91c. Further, the sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56, and controls the image display on the liquid crystal display 51 and the sound output from the speaker 53 according to the detected operation.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set a predetermined number of bets. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the perspective window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, so-called Koyama lines such as the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the lower stage of the reel 2R are defined as winning lines. The winning line is not limited to Koyama, and may be provided in the middle stage in the horizontal direction, such as the middle stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the middle stage of the reel 2R. A line may be provided. Further, an invalid line may be provided so that it is easy to recognize that the combination of the symbols constituting the prize is aligned with the prize line LN.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result combination) that is allowed to be derived.

Specifically, the main control unit 41 determines in the internal lottery process whether or not each lottery target combination has been won in a predetermined order. For example, in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 acquires a random number from an integer within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). Each lottery target combination is assigned a number of determination values according to the RT state in advance from among integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). The main control unit 41 adds the number of determination values of each lottery target combination to the acquired random numbers in a predetermined order, and when the addition result overflows (exceeds 65535), the addition target at that time. The winning combination will be decided as the winning combination. When the lottery target combination is won by the internal lottery, the derivation of the symbol combination corresponding to the lottery target combination is allowed.

The manager (such as a clerk at a game store) can change the winning probability of a role in the internal lottery by changing the setting. Specifically, the medal payout rate (payout rate) is changed by determining the winning probability used in the internal lottery according to the set value set by the administrator. The set value is composed of 6 stages of 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate and decreasing the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

In order to change the set value, operate the power switch of the power supply box provided inside the slot machine 1, and if the power of the slot machine 1 is on, turn it off once, and then set it. It is necessary to operate the key switch to turn on the setting key switch and then turn on the power of the slot machine 1. When the setting key switch is turned on and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the setting change state in which the game cannot proceed is entered on condition that the door is open. When the state shifts to the setting change state, the current setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display.

In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from setting 6, the setting returns to setting 1). After that, when the start switch 7 is operated, the displayed value is fixed as the set value. When the setting key switch is turned off, the confirmed display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed. By turning the power switch off once, turning the setting key switch on, and turning the power switch on, the state is changed to the setting change state. Therefore, the operation is also collectively referred to as a setting change operation.

When the setting is changed, the information about the game stored in the RAM 41c is initialized. Therefore, for example, as will be described later, when the setting is changed during the advantageous section, the information in the advantageous section (for example, the points accumulated in the advantageous section normally) is initialized and output to the normal section. The ball state shifts.

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3. When a symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning line LN, a winning combination corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

In the reel stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is performed within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in the present embodiment) from the time when the operation is performed for each stop switch. Control to stop is performed. Reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotation) x 20 (number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 20 frames) = 1600 frames of symbols are changed, so a predetermined maximum Until the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of four frames of symbols can be drawn in. That is, in the stop control, one symbol from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbol up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

The winning roles include special roles (bonus), small roles, and replaying roles. The special role (bonus) is a role in which the gaming state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small role is higher than that in the non-bonus state by winning a prize. Special roles (bonuses) include first-class special features such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), and second-class special features such as CB (challenge bonus). In the present embodiment, a BB is provided as a special role. A small role is a role in which a medal is awarded by winning a prize. The replay role is a role in which the next game can be started without consuming the medals owned by the player by winning a prize.

In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state (RT state) to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination. The internal lottery is performed before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7) whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the above-mentioned winning of each winning combination. It is determined by using a random number (at the time of detection).

Of the winning flags for each combination, the winning flags for the small combination and the replay combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flag for the special combination is It is valid until the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete by the flag, and is invalid in the game in which the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete. That is, once the winning flag of a special combination is won, even if the combination of combinations allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. ing.

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, operation order (push order), operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. It is possible to win a small role or a replaying role (hereinafter, also referred to as a "pushing order role"). The push order combination includes, for example, a combination that is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode and the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. This includes a combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping the advantageous stop mode is higher than that in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode accompanied by the awarding of medals, but also a stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous gaming state, a stop mode in which a transition to an unfavorable gaming state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 can execute navigation that notifies navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player when the push order combination is won by the internal lottery. Specifically, the main control unit 41 can execute a navigation notification that notifies the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12 according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control the assist time (advantageous section AT) which is the notification period.

As will be described in detail later, the main control unit 41 usually determines whether or not to control the ball ejection state in the advantageous section when a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. And by winning the advantageous section transition lottery, control in the ball-out state during the advantageous section is started. Winning the advantageous section transition lottery is also referred to as "advantageous section winning". In the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification when the push order combination is won, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player (for example, operation). The order, operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, so that the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. A navigation effect for notifying is executed using a display 51 or the like.

In the game in which the push order combination is won, a role advantageous to the player when the operation mode of the player matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push order combination (hereinafter, also referred to as "correct answer procedure") (this implementation). In the form of, the role of plum) wins.

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the correct procedure according to the navigation, the player can win the winning combination of the winning combination including the winning combination with the larger number of medals paid out. Alternatively, the player can operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the correct procedure according to the navigation to win a winning combination among the winning combination included in the pushing order combination, which is unlikely to miss the winning combination. Of the winning combinations included in the push order combination, the winning combination is the "leading role" when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, and the stop switch 8L, which is different from the correct answer procedure. The winning combination when the 8C and 8R are operated is also referred to as a "secondary role".

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the leading role included in the push order winning in the internal lottery can be surely won. It has become.

[State transition]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the RT state. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the ball ejection state. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an outline for each state. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the state managed by the main control unit 41 includes a game state (RT state) related to the winning probability in the internal lottery and a ball ejection state related to the payout.

RT states include non-internal, internal, and BB. Inside, the game is in a state where it can proceed and the medal payout rate based on a predetermined design value is guaranteed. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, most games are to be played by a player inside.

On the other hand, in the non-internal state, the player does not play the game, or even if the player plays the game, the time is extremely short. In the non-internal, when the BB is won and the winning of the BB is missed, the game state shifts to the internal from the next game. That is, the inside is in a state where the winning of BB has been carried over.

A game in which a BB can be won (hereinafter, also referred to as a "BB winning game") may be played in both the non-internal and the internal. Specifically, in the non-internal, if the BB symbol combination can be derived according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the game in which the BB is won, the BB is won. In this case, the RT state is controlled by BB from the next game. That is, in the non-internal, the game that wins the BB becomes the BB winning game.

Inside, the BB winning has been carried over. Here, when the BB and the small winning combination are simultaneously won, the reel control is performed so as to preferentially derive the symbol combination of the small winning combination. Furthermore, if the small role is a role that is not missed, in the game where the BB and the small role are won at the same time, the small role will always win and the BB will win regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. I can't. Similarly, when the BB and the re-game combination are simultaneously won, the reel control is performed so as to preferentially derive the symbol combination of the re-game combination. In general, the re-game role is a role that is not missed, so in a game in which the BB and the re-game role are won at the same time, the re-game role always wins a prize regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and the BB. Cannot win a prize. Therefore, if it is possible to derive the BB symbol combination according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R only in the game that is lost in the internal lottery (the game that does not win any role) inside. , BB wins. In this case, the RT state is controlled by BB from the next game. That is, in the inside, the game lost in the internal lottery becomes the BB winning game.

In the BB, the games in the BB are played over a predetermined number of games (for example, 60 G), but since the ball output rate in the BB is about 101%, the net increase number is hardly increased. Therefore, the BB is merely a state in which the player consumes a predetermined number of games (for example, 60G). When the BB ends, the RT state shifts to the non-internal state again.

In the present embodiment, as the ball ejection states managed by the main control unit 41, the ball ejection state = 0, the ball ejection state = 1, the ball ejection state = 2, the ball ejection state = 3, the ball ejection state = 4 and There are five types of ball ejection states: ball ejection state = 5. The ball ejection state = 0 is referred to as "normal", the ball ejection state = 1 is referred to as "advantageous section normal", the ball ejection state = 2 is referred to as "advantageous section CZ", and the ball ejection state = 3 is referred to as "advantageous section AT". , The ball ejection state = 4 is referred to as an "advantageous section specialization zone", and the ball ejection state = 5 is referred to as an "advantageous section ending".

The main control unit 41 stores the ball ejection flag in a predetermined area as information for managing the ball ejection state. For example, the main control unit 41 stores the ball ejection flag so that the ball ejection state = 0 can be specified while the state is normally controlled, and the ball ejection state = 0 while the state is normally controlled in the advantageous section. The ball ejection flag is stored so that 1 can be specified, and while the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ, the ball ejection flag is stored so that the ball ejection state = 2 can be specified, and the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT. During the period, the ball ejection flag is memorized so that the ball ejection state = 3 can be specified, and while the state is controlled in the advantageous section special zone, the ball ejection state = 4 can be specified. While the state is controlled at the ending, the ball ejection flag is stored so that the ball ejection state = 5 can be specified. It should be noted that the management of each ball ejection state is not limited to the one using the ball ejection flag, and other methods may be used.

Usually, it is also called a normal section. Advantageous section Usually, the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, the advantageous section special zone, and the advantageous section ending are also collectively referred to as an advantageous section.

The normal section (normal) is a state in which navigation is not executed, and is a non-notification state in which navigation information cannot be notified. The advantageous section is a state in which navigation can be executed, and is a notification state in which navigation information can be notified. In the present embodiment, of the advantageous sections, the navigation is not executed for the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ, but the navigation is executed for the advantageous section AT, the advantageous section special zone, and the advantageous section ending. Can be done. It should be noted that the navigation may be executed even in the advantageous section normal or the advantageous section CZ, but for example, in the advantageous section AT, the leading role is won at the time of winning the push order combination rather than the advantageous section normal or the advantageous section CZ. The probability of executing the navigation to make it run is high.

The ball ejection state and the RT state are state transitions independently of each other. In the present embodiment, each ball ejection state can be controlled both inside and outside the inside. On the other hand, in the BB, the ball ejection state is not provided.

For example, when the RT state is non-internal and the ball ejection state is normal in the advantageous section, when the BB is won, the RT state shifts to the inside, but the ball ejection state maintains the advantageous section normal. When the BB wins in the case where the RT state is inside and the ball ejection state is the advantageous section normal, the RT state is controlled by the BB, but the ball ejection state does not exist in the BB. After that, when the BB ends, the RT state shifts to the non-internal state, and the ball ejection state is again controlled to the original advantageous section normal.

Further, when the RT state is non-internal and the ball ejection state is the advantageous section AT, when the BB is won and the BB is won, the RT state is controlled by the BB, but the ball ejection state does not exist in the BB. .. After that, when the BB ends, the RT state shifts to the non-internal state, and the ball ejection state is again controlled to the original advantageous section AT.

For example, when the advantageous section is won when the RT state is inside and the ball ejection state is normal, the ball ejection state is normally controlled in the advantageous section while the RT state is maintained inside. Further, when the AT is won when the RT state is inside and the ball ejection state is the advantageous section CZ, the ball ejection state is controlled to the advantageous section AT while the RT state is maintained inside.

Normally, when the player wins the advantageous section transition lottery (winning the advantageous section), the state is controlled to the ball ejection state in the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, since most of the winning combinations that can be won during the normal game are the conditions for winning the advantageous section, the stay of the game in the normal game is about 1 G. In addition, the condition of winning the advantageous section may be satisfied when any one of all the winning combinations that can be won during the normal period is won.

Normally, navigation is not executed in the game in which the push order is won, so the net increase in the number of medals that the player can obtain per game is 0 or minus, considering the number of medals used to set the number of bets. become. The net increase in the number of medals per game is the number obtained by subtracting the number of medals used for setting the number of bets per game from the number of medals paid out per game. In the present embodiment, the normal payout rate is set to 40%. As described above, the ball output rate is usually 1 or less (100% or less) or less than 1 (less than 100%).

Advantageous section Normally, navigation is not executed in the game that wins the push order, so the net increase in the number of medals that the player can obtain per game is 0, considering the number of medals used to set the number of bets. Or it becomes negative. In the present embodiment, the normal ball output rate in the game section is set to 40%. As described above, in the advantageous section normally, the ball output rate is 1 or less (100% or less) or less than 1 (less than 100%).

The advantageous section CZ has a higher probability of being controlled by the advantageous section bonus or the advantageous section AT than the normal advantageous section, and is located on the intermediate route from the normal advantageous section to being controlled by the advantageous section bonus or the advantageous section AT. That is, the advantageous section CZ is a ball ejection state that is more advantageous than the advantageous section normal. Advantageous section Winning in which the state is controlled from normal to advantageous section CZ is also referred to as "CZ winning".

In the advantageous section CZ, as in the case of the advantageous section normal, the navigation is not executed in the game in which the push order is won, so the net increase in the number of medals that the player can obtain per game is the medal used for setting the number of bets. Considering the number of sheets, it becomes 0 or minus. In the present embodiment, the ball output rate of the game section CZ is set to 40%, which is the same as the normal advantage section. As described above, in the advantageous section CZ, the ball output rate is 1 or less (100% or less) or less than 1 (less than 100%). The advantageous section CZ has the same ball output rate as the advantageous section normal, but the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section AT per game is set higher than that of the advantageous section normal.

The advantageous section AT is in a state in which control can be performed from both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ. The winning in which the state is controlled from the advantageous section normal or the advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section AT is also referred to as "AT winning". In the advantageous section AT, the navigation is executed in the game in which the push order is won, so the net increase in the number of medals per game that the player can obtain is even if the number of medals used for setting the bet number is taken into consideration. , Will be a plus. In the present embodiment, the ball output rate of the advantageous section AT is set to 200%. As described above, in the advantageous section AT, the ball output rate exceeds 1 (100%). Therefore, the advantageous section AT is in a more advantageous state than both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ.

The advantageous section special zone is in a state that can be controlled from the advantageous section AT. Winning in which the state is controlled from the advantageous section AT to the advantageous section specialized zone is also referred to as "specialized zone winning". In the advantageous section special zone, the navigation is executed in the game that wins the push order, so the net increase in the number of medals that the player can obtain per game takes into consideration the number of medals used to set the number of bets. But it will be a plus. In the present embodiment, the payout rate of the advantageous section special zone is set to 200%. In this way, in the advantageous section special zone, the ball output rate exceeds 1 (100%). Further, in the advantageous section special zone, the number of AT games may be added. Therefore, if the zone is controlled to the advantageous section special zone, the period controlled by the AT is likely to be extended. Therefore, the advantageous section specialization zone is in a more advantageous state than any of the advantageous section normal, the advantageous section CZ, and the advantageous section AT.

Further, in the advantageous section normally, when the CZ is won, the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ. In addition, when the CZ is won in the advantageous section normal, a precursor effect that suggests or incites that the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ may be executed. For example, when the CZ is won in the advantageous section normally, the CZ is won in the game in which the CZ is won, or in one or more games after the next game, due to the character image or the lighting of the lamp, and the state in the advantageous section CZ is changed. An effect that suggests or incites control is performed, and then the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ.

In the advantageous section CZ, when the AT is won, the state is controlled by the advantageous section AT. When the AT is won in the advantageous section CZ, a precursory effect that suggests or incites that the state is controlled by the advantageous section AT may be executed. For example, when the AT is won in the advantageous section CZ, in the game in which the AT is won, or in one or more games after the next game, the AT is won due to the character image or the lighting of the lamp, and the state in the advantageous section AT is changed. An effect that suggests or incites control is performed, and then the state is controlled in the advantageous section AT.

The control to the advantageous section CZ is managed by, for example, the number of games, and the advantageous section CZ ends on the condition that the number of games digested in the advantageous section CZ reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games. ..

The control to the advantageous section AT is managed by, for example, the number of games, and the advantageous section AT ends on the condition that the number of games digested during the advantageous section AT reaches the predetermined upper limit number of games. .. The advantageous section AT is not limited to those managed by the number of games, and the number of times the navigation is executed reaches a predetermined maximum number of times, and the number of times the leading role is won at the time of winning the push order is a predetermined maximum number of times. It may be managed based on other conditions such as reaching the above, and the number of payouts and the net increase number reaching a predetermined upper limit.

Control to the advantageous section special zone is managed by, for example, the number of games, and the advantageous section is subject to the condition that the number of games digested in the advantageous section special zone reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games. The special zone ends. In addition, the advantageous section special zone is not limited to the one managed by the number of games, and the number of times the navigation is executed reaches the preset upper limit number, and the number of winnings of the leading role at the time of winning the push order is set in advance. It may be managed based on other conditions such as reaching the upper limit number of times and the number of payouts or the net increase number reaching a predetermined upper limit number.

When the advantageous section AT or the advantageous section special zone ends, the state is controlled again in the advantageous section CZ, and when the AT is won in the advantageous section CZ, the state is controlled again in the advantageous section AT. In addition, when the advantageous section specialization zone ends, it may be controlled by the advantageous section AT. On the other hand, when the number of digestion games reaches the upper limit number of games without winning the AT in the advantageous section CZ, the state is normally controlled in the advantageous section.

In this way, the state is controlled from the advantageous section normal to the advantageous section AT and the advantageous section special zone via the advantageous section CZ, and the state is exchanged between the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT. Become. In the advantageous section CZ, the total number of net additions is 0 or minus, and in the advantage section AT, the total number of net additions is 0 or larger than the minus amount in the advantage section CZ. Therefore, when the state is exchanged between the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT, the total number of net increases is designed to continue to increase. On the other hand, in the advantageous section normal, the total number of net increases is 0 or minus, so the number of games staying in the advantageous section normally is larger than the number of games staying between the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT. As it grows, the total net increase continues to decrease.

As mentioned above, the normal stay of the game is about 1G. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, there are a plurality of states such as the advantageous section normal, the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, and the advantageous section special zone, and the first stay when the transition from the normal to the advantageous section is made. Advantageous section to be used Normally, the end condition is set so that the maximum number of times exceeds 1G. Therefore, the stay of the game in the ball-out state during the advantageous section exceeds 1G. As described above, the slot machine 1 is designed so that the stay ratio of the game in the normal state is smaller than the stay ratio of the game in the ball ejection state in the advantageous section.

Among the ball ejection states in the advantageous section, the stay ratio of the game in the advantageous section normal is larger than the stay ratio of the game in any of the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, the advantageous section AT, and the advantageous section special zone. Further, the stay ratio of the game in the advantageous section normal is larger than the stay ratio of the total total game in which the games in the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, the advantageous section AT, and the advantageous section special zone are totaled. Therefore, most of the advantageous section is digested by the game in the advantageous section normal.

In addition, at least, if the stay ratio of the game in the advantageous section normal is larger than the stay ratio of the game in either the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT, other stay ratios may be set. Further, at least, if the stay ratio of the game in the advantageous section normal is larger than the stay ratio of the total game in which the games in the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT are totaled, other stay ratios may be set.

Usually, in each of the advantageous section normal, the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, and the advantageous section special zone, processing such as a lottery related to AT control is performed. Specifically, normally, the advantageous section transition lottery and the initial point acquisition lottery described later in FIG. 28 are performed, and in the advantageous section normal, the initial point acquisition lottery and the normal point acquisition lottery described later in FIG. 30 are simply performed. (Also called "point acquisition lottery") and point privilege lottery are performed, and privilege lottery is performed in advantageous section CZ, advantageous section AT, and advantageous section special zone. On the other hand, in the advantageous section ending and BB, such processes as lottery related to AT control are not performed. Therefore, even if a BB winning game is played inside or outside the inside, it is more advantageous for the player to miss the BB winning than to win the BB winning.

In the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, the state is controlled to the advantageous section ending when the total number of digestion games in the advantageous section updated based on the progress of the game reaches a predetermined ED transition G number. The number of ED transition G is updated only during the advantageous section, and is not updated in normal or BB. The advantageous section ending is, for example, until the total value of the net increase number reaches the upper limit number (for example, 2400), or until the number of digestion games in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit number of games (for example, 1500G). It is a state in which it is confirmed that the control to the ball state will continue. The ED transition G number is set when the state shifts from the normal to the ball ejection state in the advantageous section. The number of ED transition Gs may be determined by lottery or may be predetermined.

When the limiter condition is satisfied or an arbitrary end condition is satisfied in the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, the state is normally controlled from the ball ejection state in the advantageous section. Specifically, in the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, when the total number of digested games (number of advantageous sections G) updated based on the progress of the game reaches a predetermined upper limit G number (for example, 1500 G). , The advantageous section ends, and the ball ejection state is normally controlled. The number of advantageous sections G is counted by the number of advantageous sections G counter stored in the RAM 41c. Alternatively, in the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends when the total number of net increases in the advantageous section updated based on the progress of the game reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 2400). , The ball ejection state is normally controlled. The net increase number in the advantageous section is counted by the net increase number counter stored in the RAM 41c.

When the state is normally controlled from the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, the total value of the number of digested games and the net increase number counted in the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, and the points that can be obtained during the game are also initialized. Will be done. The number of advantageous sections G and the net increase in the number of sheets in the advantageous section are updated not only in the advantageous section but also in the BB, and are not updated in the normal section.

In this way, during the BB, the number of ED transitions G that approaches the control of the advantageous section ending that is advantageous to the player by being updated is not updated, but the normal section that is disadvantageous to the player by being updated is not updated. The number of advantageous sections G approaching the control of and the net increase in the number of advantageous sections in the advantageous section are updated. Therefore, even if a BB winning game is played inside or outside the inside, it is more advantageous for the player to miss the BB winning than to win the BB winning.

Further, as described above, in the BB, the ball ejection rate is lower than that of the advantageous section AT and the advantageous section special zone, and the ball ejection rate is about 101%. Therefore, during BB, the net increase in the number of games does not increase or decrease, and BB is merely a state in which the player consumes a predetermined number of games (for example, 60 G). On the other hand, during BB, the number of advantageous sections G and the net increase in the number of sheets in the advantageous section are updated, so even if a BB winning game is played inside or outside the inside, the BB winning is won. It is more advantageous for the player to miss the BB prize than to win the BB prize.

Further, for example, as an arbitrary end condition, a predetermined end condition is satisfied without winning the CZ, a predetermined end condition is satisfied without winning a bonus or an AT in the advantageous section CZ, and the like. Is included. Further, the end condition of AT may be satisfied in the advantageous section AT.

When the setting is changed in the normal or advantageous section, the state is controlled normally. At this time, the total value of the number of digested games and the net increase in the number of balls counted in the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, and the points that can be obtained during the game are also reset. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by changing the winning probability in a predetermined lottery such as the point privilege lottery described later according to the set value (for example, 1 to 6). A game store clerk or the like can change this set value by changing the setting. When the setting is changed, no lottery is performed such as determining the initial value of the number of digested games until the number of ceiling games is reached.

As described above, the conditions for shifting from the ball ejection state in the advantageous section to the normal state include a limiter condition and an arbitrary end condition that are established based on the progress of the game, and a condition that the setting is changed.

[Winner]
6 to 9 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and the granting at the time of winning. The names of the winning combinations are shown in the name columns of FIGS. 6 to 9, and the combination of symbols for which the winning combination is a winning combination is shown in the symbol combination column. In addition, the value given at the time of winning (number of medals paid out, replay grant, etc.) is shown in the grant column.

As shown in FIG. 6, rips 1 to rip 6 are provided as the re-game combination. As shown in FIG. 7, a BB is provided as a special role. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, plums 1 to 6, watermelons, and one-sheet combinations 1 to 33 are provided as small combinations. Plums 1 to 6 are the protagonists who can win a prize when the push order is won, and at the time of winning, nine medals, which is larger than the number of medals used for the number of bets (3 medals), are paid out. Plums 1 to 6 are collectively referred to as "plum role". The 1-card combination 1-33 is a secondary role that can be won when the push order combination is won, and at the time of winning, one medal that is smaller than the number of medals used for the number of bets (3 medals) is paid out. The 1-card combination 1-33 is also collectively referred to as a "single-card combination".

As shown in FIG. 8, when "Character-Character-Black 7" is derived on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R from the symbol combinations in which the winning of the 1-card combination 22 occurs, three character symbols are arranged side by side on the reel. Be placed. Specifically, the character symbols are derived from the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R, so that the character symbols are arranged side by side in an upward-sloping manner. In addition, the fact that the character symbols are arranged side by side is also referred to as "character matching".

As shown in FIG. 9, when "Character-Character-Plum" or "Character-Plum-Plum" is derived on reels 2L, 2C, 2R among the symbol combinations in which the winning of the 1-card combination 23 is generated, 7 symbols are obtained. Three are arranged side by side on the reel. Specifically, 7 symbols are derived from each of the upper stage of the left reel 2L, the upper stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R, so that the 7 symbols are arranged side by side in the upper stage. It should be noted that the arrangement of 7 symbols side by side is also referred to as "7 alignment".

[Lottery target role]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a combination of winning combinations read as lottery target combinations for each gaming state. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing lottery target combinations arranged for each flag category. In the combination number column of FIGS. 10 and 11, the combination number determined for each lottery target combination is shown, and in the flag category column, the flag category assigned to each type of lottery target combination is shown, and the lottery target. The name is shown in the combination column, the RT status column indicates that the lottery target combination is the lottery target for each RT status, and the advantageous section winning column indicates whether or not the advantageous section has been won. It is shown. Further, in the combination column of the winning combination in FIG. 10, the combination of the winning combination included in each lottery target combination is shown.

As shown in FIG. 10, a BB is provided as a lottery target combination for a special combination. As the lottery target role of the re-game role, a normal lip, a 7-matched lip, a 7-matched lip, a character-matched lip, and a character-matched lip are provided. The lottery target roles for small roles are common plums, 123 alternatives A to D, 132 alternatives A to D, 213 alternatives A to D, 231 alternatives A to D, 312 alternatives A to D, and 321 alternatives. A to D, watermelon, 7 sets of 1 sheet 1, 2, character set 1 sheet, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry 7 sets, middle cherry character set, and chance eyes A and B are provided. As the small winning combination in the BB, a small and medium-sized winning combination in the BB and one in the BB are provided. The 123 alternatives A to D, the 132 alternatives A to D, the 213 alternatives A to D, the 231 alternatives A to D, the 312 alternatives A to D, and the 321 alternatives A to D are when they are elected. It is a kind of push order role because it is a role that navigation can be executed. In addition, 7 sets of 1 sheet 1 and 2 are collectively referred to as "7 sets of 1 sheet".

In the non-internal, the winning combination except for the BB small and medium-sized combination and one in the BB can be won, but in the internal, since the winning of the BB has already been carried over, the BB, the BB small and medium-sized combination, and the 1 in the BB The piece cannot be won.

As for the flag category, a flag category common to all of non-internal, internal, and BB is assigned to each combination. Further, the winning combination number is determined for each lottery target combination, while the flag category is assigned for each type of lottery target combination. Therefore, the number of flag categories is less than the number of role numbers. In addition, as will be described in detail later, a normal initial point acquisition lottery, an advantageous section normal initial point acquisition lottery, a point acquisition lottery, an advantageous section CZ privilege lottery, an advantageous section AT privilege lottery, and an advantageous section special zone privilege The lottery (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "lottery related to AT control") is performed based on the flag category. Therefore, the processing load can be reduced as compared with the lottery related to the control of these ATs based on the winning combination number.

In the present embodiment, the flag category is also assigned to the loss and the BB, and the same FC1 as other roles such as the normal lip is assigned to the BB. In addition, the same FC4 as watermelon is assigned to the common plum.

The number of each combination determination value will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the number of determination values in the internal lottery. A role corresponding to FC2 such as a 7-match 1 sheet or a 7-match lip, a role corresponding to FC3 such as a character match 1 sheet, a role corresponding to FC4 such as a watermelon or a common plum, a role corresponding to FC5 such as a weak cherry The corresponding role, or the role corresponding to FC6 such as the strong cherry, has a lower probability of winning the internal lottery than the role corresponding to FC0 or FC1, and is a so-called rare role. In addition, the roles corresponding to FC7 such as chance eyes A and B have a lower probability of winning the internal lottery than any other role including the rare role, and are so-called super rare roles.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the number of determination values for watermelon, cherry, or common plum is set to be smaller than the total number of determination values for all push order combinations. Further, the number of judgment values for the chance eye is set to be smaller than the number of judgment values for any of the other combinations. Although not shown, the middle-tier cherry 7-match and middle-tier cherry character match also have a lower probability of winning the internal lottery than any other role, including the rare role, and are so-called super-rare roles. It can be said that the general roles corresponding to the role numbers 2, 7 to 31 have a higher probability of being won by the internal lottery than the rare roles and the super rare roles.

In the non-internal, the number of determination values of BB is set to 15,000, which is larger than the number of determination values assigned to any of the other combinations. Specifically, in the non-internal, the BB is won with a probability of about 1/4 higher than that of winning other roles. That is, in the non-internal, a BB winning game is played with a high probability of once in four games. However, since the number of judgment values of BB (15000) is set to be smaller than the total number of judgment values of all push order combinations, there is a higher probability that the BB winning game will be played in the non-internal. Win one of the push order roles.

On the other hand, since the BB winning is carried over inside the inside, the number of judgment values of 15,000 of the BB set inside the inside is set as the number of judgment values of the loss as it is. This is more than the number of determination values assigned to any of the other roles. Specifically, in the inside, there is a high probability of losing in the internal lottery, which is about 1/4 higher than winning other roles. That is, inside, a BB winning game is played with a high probability of once every four games. However, since the number of judgment values of loss (15000) is set to be smaller than the total number of judgment values of all push order combinations, there is a higher probability that a BB winning game will be played in the non-internal. Win one of the push order roles.

[Reel control of push order]
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning the push order combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the push order combination is won during the advantageous section AT or in the advantageous section bonus, the navigation is executed and the correct answer procedure is notified to the player. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the correct procedure according to the navigation, the player can win a winning combination (leading role) that is advantageous to the player.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13, 123 alternatives A to D, 132 alternatives A to D, 213 alternatives A to D, 231 alternatives A to D, 312 alternatives A to D, and 321 alternatives A to 321. In the game in which any of D is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the leading role of Plum wins, while the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the incorrect answer procedure. At that time, the one-card role, which is a secondary role, wins a prize. If the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the incorrect answer procedure and the winning of the one-card winning combination, which is a secondary role, is missed, no winning may occur.

[Reel control for other roles]
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning another winning combination. As shown in FIG. 14, in a game in which a set of 7 cards is won, when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the 1-card winning combination 23 wins and 7 depending on the operation timing. Matching can be derived. The operation of the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L in this order is also referred to as "reverse push". On the other hand, in the game in which one of the seven cards is won, the one-card winning combination 16 wins when the stop switch is operated by a method other than reverse pressing. In the game in which one 7-match is won, when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order, the 7-match may be derived regardless of the operation timing.

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

In the game in which the 7 sets of middle cherries are won, the 1-card combination 23 wins regardless of the operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and 7 sets can be derived depending on the operation timing. In the game in which the middle-stage cherry 7-match is won, the 7-match may be derived regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

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

In this way, in the game in which 7 sets are won, the stop switch is operated by pressing the reverse button, so that the 1-card combination 23 wins and depending on the operation timing, as in the game in which the middle cherry 7 sets are won. Can be derived from 7 sets. On the other hand, in the game in which one of the seven sets is won, a role different from that of the game in which the middle cherry 7 set is won is won by operating the stop switch other than the reverse push.

In addition, in the game in which one character match is won, the stop switch is operated by pressing the reverse button, and as in the game in which the middle cherry character match is won, the one-card combination 22 wins, and depending on the operation timing, the character Matching can be derived. On the other hand, in the game in which one character match is won, a role different from that in the game in which the middle cherry character match is won is won by operating the stop switch other than the reverse push.

[Point map]
An example of a point map used in the advantageous section normal will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an example of a point map. As shown in FIG. 15A, the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 includes an effect area 510 in which an effect image related to the game such as a background image is displayed, and a map area 520 in which a point map is displayed. .. The effect area 510 is a display area located near the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 and occupying most of the display area. The map area 520 is located at the upper end of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 (in the embodiment of the present application, the lower end and the right end of the screen), and is a display area smaller than the effect area 510.

In the point map of the map area 520, the updated image 520a that displays the updated value of the points accumulated based on the game, the arrival icon images 520c, 520d, 520e that decorate the target arrival point of the accumulated points, and so on. The final icon image 520f that decorates the final point and the moving image 520b consisting of a character that moves toward the arrival point corresponding to the accumulated points (hereinafter, also referred to as “moving character”) are integrally displayed. .. In the present embodiment, a plurality of points such as 300p, 500p, and 700p are set as arrival points, and 1000p is set as the final point. Since the arrival point is not displayed in the updated image 520a, the player pays attention to the arrival point decorated by the arrival icon image as well as the update value in the updated image 520a.

Advantageous section Normally, when points are given by the point acquisition lottery shown in FIG. 30 (c) described later, the updated value is updated by the amount of the given points, and the number corresponding to the updated points is updated image 520a. It is reflected in. Further, the moving character moves to the position corresponding to the update value, so that the moving character approaches the target arrival point. While the moving character is moving, the number of the arrival point and the arrival icon are always displayed, so that the player can reach the arrival point depending on the distance between the moving character and the target position of the moving character. Easy to recognize numbers. When the moving character reaches the arrival point, the point privilege lottery shown in FIG. 30B, which will be described later, is performed, and CZ winning or AT winning can be given based on the lottery. In the point privilege lottery, the lottery is performed according to the degree of advantage of the arrival icon image described above.

As shown in FIG. 15B, when the current update value is 250p, the moving character is stopped at the position of 250p on the map 520m. As shown in FIG. 15C, when 10p is added thereafter, the update value is updated to 260p, and the moving character moves on the map 520m to the position of 260p. As shown in FIG. 15D, when 50p is further added thereafter, the update value is updated to 310p, and the moving character moves on the map 520m to the position of 310p. In this case, since the moving character has reached the position of 300p, the point privilege lottery is performed.

[Eye catch display]
Next, the eye-catching display executed in the present embodiment will be described. As will be described in detail later, the eye-catching display in the present embodiment suggests which mode, mode A or mode B, has been determined by the mode lottery. The mode lottery is performed when the advantageous section is won in the normal section. The eye-catching display is performed when the normal section is changed from the normal section to the normal section by winning the advantageous section. Advantageous section When the mode B is controlled during normal operation, the privilege (CZ stock or AT stock) is given at a higher rate than when the mode A is controlled. For example, when the eye-catching display D is displayed among the eye-catching displays A to D, the degree of expectation that the mode B is set is the highest. Granting of benefits is determined by a point privilege lottery when the arrival points are reached in the advantageous section normally.

Here, the main control unit 41 is provided with backup means for holding backup information for backing up a control state such as a ball ejection state in a specific area of the RAM 41c. The backup information includes the above-mentioned information about the game. Even when the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off (a power failure occurs) and the power is turned on again, the backup information stored in the RAM 41c specific area is retained.

When the set value is not set for the power-on of the slot machine 1 (when the setting is not changed), the main control unit 41 can start the control based on the backup information. For example, even if the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off during the advantageous section normal, when the power is turned on again, the gaming state is restarted from the advantageous section normal. Here, "when there is no setting change regarding the power-on of the slot machine 1" is set when, for example, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off at the end of business and the power is turned on at the start of business the next day. Refers to a situation where no changes have been made.

Further, the main control unit 41 does not start the control based on the backup information when the set value is set (when the setting is changed) regarding the power-on of the slot machine, but starts the control from the normal section normal. To do. For example, if the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off during the advantageous section normal, and then the setting is changed, the backup information is initialized. In this case, when recovering from the power failure, the game state is started from the normal section normal.

Here, "when there is a setting change regarding the power-on of the slot machine 1" means, for example, that the setting is changed when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned off at the end of business and the power is turned on at the start of business the next day. Refers to a situation where you do. Alternatively, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off once at the end of business, the power is turned on on the same day, the setting is changed at that time, and the setting is not changed when the power is turned on at the start of business the next day. Point to.

Further, the main control unit 41 can execute a specific process for setting any of a plurality of types of parameters having different advantages with respect to the advantageous control. The specific process is a process for determining the degree of advantage regarding the transition from the advantageous section normal to the advantageous section AT or the advantageous section CZ. In the present embodiment, as an example of the specific process, a mode lottery is performed and the result of the mode lottery is set. The parameter in this case is the mode.

Specifically, when the control to the advantageous section is determined in the normal section, one of the plurality of types of modes is determined, and the determined mode is set. The mode includes mode A and mode B. Mode B has a higher advantage for the player than mode A. Details of the mode lottery will be described later with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28.

Advantageous section During normal operation, advantageous control that is advantageous to the player is performed based on the set mode. In the present embodiment, as the advantageous control, the point privilege lottery is performed, and the advantageous section CZ and the advantageous section AT are controlled based on the lottery result of the point privilege lottery. The point privilege lottery is a lottery performed when the arrival point is reached during the normal advantageous section.

It is possible to determine one of a plurality of types of benefits by the point privilege lottery. In the present embodiment, CZ stock or AT stock can be given as a privilege by the point privilege lottery. When CZ stock is given, it is controlled to the advantageous section CZ. When AT stock is given, it is controlled to the advantageous section AT. Details of the point privilege lottery will be described later with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute any one of a plurality of types of advantage suggestions. The advantage suggestion suggests which parameter is set. In the present embodiment, an eye-catching display is performed as an example of suggesting the advantage. The sub-control unit 91 suggests which mode of mode A and mode B is set by performing an eye-catching display. The eye-catching display is performed by displaying an image that catches the eye of the player for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) using the full screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an example of an eye-catching display. In the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a plurality of types of eye-catching displays. The plurality of types of eye-catching displays include an eye-catching display A, an eye-catching display B, an eye-catching display C, and an eye-catching display D. 16 (a) is a display example of the eye-catching display A, FIG. 16 (b) is a display example of the eye-catching display B, and FIG. 16 (c) is a display example of the eye-catching display C. (D) is a display example of the eye-catching display D.

As will be described later, in the mode lottery, when an advantageous mode B such as CZ stock or AT stock that is likely to be given a privilege is determined, the eye-catching display D, the eye-catching display C, the eye-catching display B, and the eye-catching display are determined. The ratio displayed in the order of A increases. That is, it can be said that the degree of expectation for determining the advantageous mode B (the degree of expectation for granting the privilege) is higher in the order of eye-catching display D, eye-catching display C, eye-catching display B, and eye-catching display A.

As shown in FIG. 16A, when the eye-catching display A is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the eye-catching image A including the character image of the girl and the three star images. As shown in FIG. 16B, when the eye-catching display B is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the eye-catching image B including the character image of the girl and the six star images.

As shown in FIG. 16C, when the eye-catching display C is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the eye-catching image C including the character image of the girl and the 10 star images. As shown in FIG. 16D, when the eye-catching display B is performed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the eye-catching image D including the character image of the girl and the 18 star images. The player can recognize that the larger the number of displayed stars, the higher the expectation of the eye-catching display.

The eye-catching display can be performed in a predetermined situation. In the present embodiment, the predetermined situation includes the first situation, the second situation, the third situation, and the fourth situation.

The first situation is a situation in which after being controlled from the advantageous section normal to the normal section normal, the normal section normal shifts to the advantageous section normal. The first situation refers to the situation after the slot machine 1 is turned on at the start of business and is controlled to an advantageous section one or more times.

The second situation is a situation in which the slot machine 1 is controlled to the normal section normal due to a setting change, and then shifts from the normal section normal to the advantageous section normal. In the second situation, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business, the normal section is normally controlled. In the present embodiment, the number of games staying in the normal section is about one game. For this reason, in most of the second situations, in the first game after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on due to the start of business, the advantageous section is won and the transition to the advantageous section normal is decided.

The third situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the advantageous section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

The third situation refers to a situation in which the advantageous section is normally controlled when the power is cut off due to the closing of business. At this time, the ball ejection flag is stored so that the ball ejection state = 1 (normally advantageous section) can be specified. Therefore, when the power is turned on with the start of business on the next day, the control to the advantageous section normal is resumed based on the ball ejection flag (ball ejection state = 1). In this case, since the player has already stayed in the advantageous section, it is not a situation in which the player shifts to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section.

The fourth situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the normal section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

The fourth situation refers to a situation in which the normal section is normally controlled (normal section) when the power is cut off due to the closing of business. At this time, the ball ejection flag is stored so that the ball ejection state = 0 (normal section normal) can be specified. Therefore, when the power is turned on with the start of business on the next day, the control to the normal section normal is resumed based on the ball ejection flag (ball ejection state = 0). Therefore, in the fourth situation, as in the second situation, in the first game after the power of the slot machine 1 for starting business is turned on, the advantageous section is won and the transition to the advantageous section normal is decided. Is the majority.

The sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display in the first situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display in the second situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 does not perform an eye-catching display in the third situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display in the fourth situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, when the modes (results of the mode lottery) set in the first situation and the second situation are the same, the sub control unit 91 has a plurality of types of eyes at the same ratio in the first situation and the second situation. Select one of the eye-catching displays from the catch displays to display the eye-catching display. For example, when the mode B is determined, the eye-catching display D is selected at the same ratio. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, when the modes (results of the mode lottery) set in the second situation and the fourth situation are the same, the sub control unit 91 has a plurality of types of eyes at the same ratio in the second situation and the fourth situation. Select one of the eye-catching displays from the catch displays to display the eye-catching display. Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 21.

As described above, in the first embodiment, an eye-catching display suggesting which of the plurality of types of modes having different advantages is set is performed. Specifically, when the mode B having a high expectation of granting the privilege (advantageous section CZ or advantageous section AT) is determined, the eye-catching display D is likely to be displayed. Therefore, the player can pay attention to what kind of ball ejection state is controlled in the advantageous section by performing the eye-catching display.

In addition, for example, in the third situation where the advantageous section is controlled at the end of business on the previous day of the amusement store and the advantageous section is continued at the start of business on the next day without changing the set value, the eye No catch display is performed. On the other hand, by changing the set value, the eye-catching display is performed in the second situation in which the normal section shifts to the normal section at the start of business on the next day and then the advantageous section shifts. Therefore, the player can infer that the setting has been changed by displaying the eye-catching display after the start of business. This motivates the player to continue the game.

Further, by making the selection ratio of the eye-catching display common between the first situation and the second situation, it is possible to make the processing common to both, and thereby reduce the processing load. With the above configuration, it is possible to preferably execute the eye-catching display regarding the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.

[Direction in the first situation]
A specific example of the eye-catching display will be described below. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (first situation) when the interval is shifted to the advantageous section again after the end of the advantageous section in the first to third embodiments. The example of the effect of FIG. 17 is the same effect not only when the first embodiment but also when the second embodiment and the third embodiment described later are applied.

As described above, the first situation is a situation in which after being controlled from the advantageous section normal to the normal section normal, the normal section normal shifts to the advantageous section normal. In this example, it is assumed that the game store is open and the game is already played by the player.

FIG. 17A shows a state in which the game progresses, is controlled to the advantageous section one or more times, and the advantageous section ends. In this example, the advantageous section AT is controlled, and then the advantageous section ends when the total value of the net increase number reaches the upper limit number. Not limited to this, the game is controlled to a normal section by the end of the advantageous section AT, and may be applied to a game in which the advantageous section ends.

As shown in FIG. 17A, in the nth game after the opening of the game store, a result notification is performed to notify that the total value of the net increase number has reached the upper limit number (2400 sheets).

When the start operation for starting the next game (n + 1th game) is performed, as shown in FIG. 17B, the section shifts from the advantageous section to the normal section. In this example, the advantageous section is not won in the n + 1 game. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a normal background image that is commonly displayed in the normal section normal or the advantageous section normal. Usually the background image is an image showing the mountains and the sun. An image of a girl character is usually displayed along with a background image.

At this time, the point map is not displayed in the normal section normally. In addition, you may display "---" on the updated image 520a so that the point map is displayed.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the next game (n + 2nd game) is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 17C, an image prompting the operation of the effect button is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. By winning the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is decided.

In addition, a mode lottery and an initial point acquisition lottery will be held by winning the advantageous section. Further, an eye-catching display lottery is performed, and which of the eye-catching displays A to D is to be displayed is determined. In this example, it is assumed that mode B is determined and 100p is determined as an initial point (hereinafter, also referred to as "initial p"). Further, it is assumed that it is decided to perform the eye-catching display D.

When the player operates (presses) the effect button, an eye-catching display is performed as shown in FIG. 17 (d). In this example, the eye-catching display D is performed. In this way, the eye-catching display is performed in response to the operation (pressing) of the effect button by the player. The eye-catching display ends after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed. It should be noted that the eye-catching display may be performed triggered by the start operation without being triggered by the operation of the effect button by the player.

The display when the eye-catching display ends may be the same as the display at the time of transition to the advantageous section shown in FIG. 17 (e). Further, the updated image 520a may be displayed with "---" so that the point map is displayed. Further, the eye-catching display may be terminated when the first stop operation is performed. Further, the eye-catching display may be continued until the start operation for starting the next game is performed.

The start operation for starting the next game (n + 3rd game) shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 17E, a normal background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a point map is displayed in the map area 520 at the lower and right ends of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

In the point map of the map area 520, an updated image 520a that displays the updated value of the points accumulated based on the game, and arrival icon images 520c, 520d, 520e that decorate the target arrival point of the accumulated points, and so on. The final icon image 520f that decorates the final point and the moving image 520b composed of characters (moving characters) that move toward the arrival point corresponding to the accumulated points are integrally displayed.

Since it was decided to give 100p as the initial points by the initial point acquisition lottery, the update value of the points will be 100p. However, in the present embodiment, the update value of points (hereinafter, also referred to as "internal p") is not displayed as it is during a predetermined game (for example, 10 games) after the advantageous section normal is started. ing.

Advantageous section In a game that has shifted to normal, "0p" is displayed as a value to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (hereinafter, also referred to as "display p"). As shown in FIG. 17 (e), the updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (0p) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, since the mode B is determined by the mode lottery, it is controlled to the mode B in the game which has shifted to the advantageous section normal. Mode B has a higher probability of granting benefits at the arrival point than mode A.

Advantageous section It is assumed that the start operation for starting the 10th game (n + 13th game) is performed after shifting to the normal. During this period, it is assumed that the total number of points acquired by the point acquisition lottery is 52 points. The update value (internal p) of the point is 152p by adding 52p to 100p. However, the display p is 52p because it starts from 0p. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), the updated image 520a corresponding to 0p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In the present embodiment, the addition effect is executed in the tenth game after shifting to the advantageous section normal. The addition effect is an effect performed to display the internal p and the display p in a matching manner. For example, in the example of FIG. 17 (f), the display p is 52p, while the internal p is 152p. By executing the addition effect, 100p is added to the display p (52p) to change it to 152p, which is the internal p.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17 (g), an image of a whale with a character image of points (100 p) to be added is displayed, and then an addition effect of changing the display p from 52 p to 152 p is performed. Execute. As a result, the display p and the internal p match. The addition effect may be started at the start operation and ended after a predetermined time has elapsed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, which mode is currently controlled is suggested in the game that shifts to the advantageous section. Further, in the game in which the advantageous section normal starts, the display p starts from 0 so that the player does not suggest the update value (internal p) of the points, and then the addition effect is executed after the lapse of the predetermined game. By doing so, it suggests the updated value of the point.

As a result, the player cannot know the updated value of the initial points given or the points inherited from the previous day until the predetermined number of games has elapsed from the start of the advantageous section normal. Not limited to this, the internal p may be displayed as the display p in the game in which the advantageous section normal has started. In addition, the number of games for which the addition effect is executed may be determined by lottery.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the suggestion of the determined mode is performed in the game that shifts to the advantageous section, while the notification of the determined initial point and the inherited point is the game that shifts to the advantageous section. It is performed after a predetermined game has elapsed.

After that, when the internal p reaches the arrival point, the point privilege lottery is executed. In the point privilege lottery, when CZ stock is given, it is controlled to the advantageous section CZ, and when AT stock is given, it is controlled to the advantageous section AT. In this example, since the mode B is controlled, the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is higher than when the mode A is controlled.

Further, the execution of the point privilege lottery may be used as an opportunity to execute a battle effect for notifying whether or not the privilege (CZ stock or AT stock) is given. The battle effect is an effect that is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games) and is composed of contents having continuity. In the battle production, the battle production image in which the ally character and the enemy character engage in a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Then, when a series of battles are performed over a plurality of games and the ally character finally wins the enemy character, the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This suggests to the player that the privilege will be granted. By the start operation of the next game, the battle effect is completed and the control is controlled to the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT.

On the other hand, when the ally character is finally defeated by the enemy character, the character image of "LOSE" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This suggests to the player that no perks are granted. By the start operation of the next game, the battle production ends and the original display is restored.

[Direction in the second situation]
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (second situation) when the power is cut off during the advantageous section and the normal section is restored by changing the setting in the first and second embodiments. As described above, the second situation is a situation in which the slot machine 1 is controlled to the normal section normal due to a setting change, and then shifts from the normal section normal to the advantageous section normal.

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed during the normal advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 18A, a background image is usually displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. It is assumed that the mode A is currently controlled. Further, it is assumed that the updated value (internal p) of the points accumulated based on the game is 180p. In this example, the addition effect is executed, and the display p and the internal p match. Therefore, the updated image 520a corresponding to 180p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

It is assumed that the game store is closed in this state and the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off. Then, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day. Further, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on at a specific time (4:00 am) after the power is cut off. In addition, it is assumed that the setting is changed (the setting value is changed) when the power is turned on with the start of business.

When the setting is changed, the information about the game stored in the RAM 41c is initialized. Therefore, if the setting is changed during the advantageous section, the points and the like accumulated in the advantageous section normal are initialized, and the ball ejection state shifts to the normal section.

Then, after the setting is changed, a demo screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 18B. Therefore, when the player selects the slot machine at the start of business, the demo screen is uniformly displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 of all the slot machines.

Then, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the production is executed in a common manner until the bet number for starting the game is set. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18B, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the demo screen is displayed until the number of bets for starting the game is set by inserting medals. .. The demo screen is also displayed in FIG. 19B, which will be described later.

Here, since the player pays the credits and leaves the seat at the end of the business on the previous day, there is no credit in the state where the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of the business. Therefore, at the start of business, the BET operation cannot be performed. In addition, since no medals have been inserted, the number of bets has not been set.

The number of bets is set only when the player selects a table and inserts medals into the medal insertion unit 4. When a medal is inserted into the medal insertion unit 4, as shown in FIG. 17C, a normal background image, which is a background displayed in the normal section, is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This background is the same as the background displayed in the advantageous section normally.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18D, an image prompting the operation of the effect button is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In addition, by winning the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is decided. At this time, it is assumed that mode B is determined by the mode lottery, 100p is determined as the initial points by the initial point acquisition lottery, and the eye-catching display D is determined by the eye-catching display lottery.

When the player operates the effect button, the eye-catching display D is performed as shown in FIG. 18 (e). The start operation for starting the next game (second game) shifts to an advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), a normal background image is displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Similar to the example of FIG. 17, during the predetermined game (10 games) from the start of the advantageous section normal, the update value (internal p) of the points is not displayed as it is, and the display p starts from 0p. As the internal p, a given initial point (100p) is set. An updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (0p) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, since the mode B is determined by the mode lottery, it is controlled to the mode B in the game which has shifted to the advantageous section normal.

Advantageous section It is assumed that the start operation for starting the 10th game (n + 13th game) is performed after shifting to the normal. During this period, it is assumed that the total number of points acquired by the point acquisition lottery is 52 points. The update value (internal p) of the point is 152p by adding 52p to 100p. However, the display p is 52p because it starts from 0p.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18 (g), the updated image 520a corresponding to 52p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 18F, by executing the addition effect, 100p is added to the display p (52p) to change it to 152p. As a result, the display p matches the internal p.

After that, when the arrival point is reached, the point privilege lottery is executed. In this example, since the mode B is controlled, the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is higher than when the mode A is controlled.

[Direction in the third situation]
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect flow (third situation) when the power is cut off during the advantageous section and the power is restored in the advantageous section in the first embodiment. As described above, the third situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the advantageous section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed during the normal advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 19A, a background image is usually displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The state shown in FIG. 19A is the same as the state shown in FIG. 18A. Currently controlled to mode A. Further, the internal p and the display p are 180p, and the updated image 520a corresponding to the display p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In this state, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). Further, it is assumed that the setting is not changed during this period.

If the setting is not changed, the specific information stored in the RAM 41c is not initialized. For this reason, the points accumulated before the power failure are retained, and the ball ejection state is maintained as normal in the advantageous section.

Then, as described with reference to FIG. 18 (b), after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, until the number of bets is set by inserting medals, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), a demo is performed. The screen is displayed. That is, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the demo screen is displayed regardless of whether or not the setting is changed until the medal is inserted.

When the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion unit 4, as shown in FIG. 19C, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a normal background image which is a background normally displayed in the advantageous section. This background is the same as the background displayed in the normal section.

At that time, the point map may be displayed at the same time. Further, when displaying the point map, "---" may be displayed on the updated image 520a. At that time, it is desirable to display in common with the screen display when the setting is changed as shown in FIG. 18 (c). By doing so, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the effect can be executed in a common manner until the start operation for starting the game is performed.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed. However, even if the advantageous section is won, the eye-catching display will not be performed in the third situation. By the start operation, as shown in FIG. 19 (f), a normal background image is displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Similar to the example of FIG. 17, during the predetermined game (10 games) from the start of the advantageous section normal, the update value (internal p) of the points is not displayed as it is, and the display p starts from 0p. An updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (0p) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The internal p is maintained at 180p at the end of business on the previous day. In addition, the mode also maintains the state of mode A before the occurrence of power failure.

Further, it is assumed that a start operation is performed to start the 12th game after 10 games have passed. During this period, it is assumed that the total number of points acquired by the point acquisition lottery is 52 points. The update value (internal p) of the point is 232p by adding 52p to 180p. However, the display p is 52p because it starts from 0p.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the updated image 520a corresponding to 52p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (f), by executing the addition effect, 180p is added to the display p (52p) and the display changes to 232p. As a result, the display p matches the internal p.

After that, when the arrival point is reached, the point privilege lottery is executed. In this example, since the mode A is controlled, the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is lower than when the mode B is controlled.

[Direction in the 4th situation]
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (fourth situation) when the power is cut off during the normal section and the normal section is restored in the first and second embodiments. As described above, the fourth situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the normal section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed in the normal section. As shown in FIG. 20A, a background image is usually displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this state, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). Further, it is assumed that the setting is not changed during this period. Therefore, the ball ejection state is maintained as the normal section.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20B, the demo screen is displayed until the medal is inserted. When the medal is inserted, as shown in FIG. 20C, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a normal background image which is a background displayed in the normal section. This background is the same as the background displayed in the advantageous section normally.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20D, an image prompting the operation of the effect button is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

By winning the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is decided. Here, it is assumed that mode B is determined by the mode lottery, 100p is determined as the initial points by the initial point acquisition lottery, and it is determined that the eye-catching display D is performed by the eye-catching display lottery.

When the player operates the effect button, the eye-catching display D is performed as shown in FIG. 20 (e). The start operation for starting the next game (second game) shifts to an advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20 (f), a normal background image is displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Similar to the example of FIG. 17, during the predetermined game (10 games) from the start of the advantageous section normal, the update value (internal p) of the points is not displayed as it is, and the display p starts from 0p. As shown in FIG. 20 (f), the updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (0p) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The given initial point (100p) is set as the internal p. Further, since the mode B is determined by the mode lottery, it is controlled to the mode B in the game which has shifted to the advantageous section normal.

Further, it is assumed that a start operation is performed to start the 12th game after 10 games have passed. During this period, it is assumed that the total number of points acquired by the point acquisition lottery is 52 points. The update value (internal p) of the point is 152p by adding 52p to 100p. However, the display p is 52p because it starts from 0p.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20 (g), the updated image 520a corresponding to 52p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (h), by executing the addition effect, 100p is added to the display p (52p) and the display changes to 152p. As a result, the display p matches the internal p.

After that, when the arrival point is reached, the point privilege lottery is executed. In this example, since the mode B is controlled, the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is higher than when the mode A is controlled.

[Comparison between the first situation and the second situation in the modified example]
FIG. 23 is a diagram for comparing and explaining the first situation and the second situation in the modified example in the first and second embodiments. In the first embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 20, when the result of the mode lottery is the same in the first situation and the second situation, the sub-control unit 91 is in the first situation and the second situation. At the same rate, one of the multiple types of eye-catching displays was selected to perform the eye-catching display.

However, not limited to this, when the result of the mode lottery is the same in the first situation and the second situation, one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays is displayed at a different ratio between the first situation and the second situation. The eye-catching display may be selected to perform the eye-catching display. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG. 23.

23 (a1) to 23 (a3) are diagrams for explaining the first situation, and FIGS. 23 (b1) to 23 (b3) are diagrams for explaining the second situation. The contents shown in FIGS. 23 (a1) to 23 (a3) are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 17, and the contents shown in FIGS. 23 (b1) to (b3) are the same as those described with reference to FIG. Since the contents are similar, the details will be omitted.

First, the first situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 23 (a1), the result notification is performed in the end game of the advantageous section. In the next game, the advantageous section shifts to the normal section. It is assumed that the advantageous section is won in the game. As a result, the transition to the advantageous section is determined. At this time, it is assumed that mode B is determined in the mode lottery, 50p is determined in the initial point acquisition lottery, and eye catch display C is performed in the eye catch display lottery.

As will be described later, when the eye-catching display lottery is performed in the first situation, the eye-catching display lottery A table (FIG. 28 (c)) is used. Then, when the mode B is determined, it is determined that the eye-catching display C is performed with a probability of 30%, and that the eye-catching display D is performed with a probability of 40%.

Then, in the game, as shown in FIG. 23 (a2), the eye-catching display C is performed. In the next game, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 23 (a3), the point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Advantageous section In the game that has shifted to the normal, "0p" is displayed as the value (display p) to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As the internal p, 100p given as an initial point is set.

Next, the second situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 23 (b1), the business of the amusement shop is closed during the normal advantageous section. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an updated image 520a corresponding to the updated value (330p) of the point at this time.

In this state, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off due to the closing of the business of the amusement store, and then the power is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). During this time, it is assumed that the settings have been changed.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won in the first game. As a result, the transition to the advantageous section is determined. At this time, it is assumed that the granting of 100p is determined as the initial point and the eye-catching display D is determined.

As will be described later, when the eye-catching display lottery is performed in the second situation, the eye-catching display lottery B table (FIG. 28 (d)) is used. Then, when the mode B is determined, it is determined that the eye-catching display D is performed with a probability of 35%, and that the eye-catching display D is performed with a probability of 60%. That is, the probability that the eye-catching display D is displayed in the second situation (60%) is higher than the probability that the eye-catching display D is displayed in the first situation (40%).

Then, in the game, as shown in FIG. 23 (b2), the eye-catching display D is performed. In the next game, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 23 (b3), the point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Advantageous section In the game that has shifted to the normal, "0p" is displayed as the value (display p) to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As the internal p, 100p given as an initial point is set.

As described above, in this example, the result of the mode lottery is the same in the first situation and the second situation (mode B is determined). In the first situation, the eye-catching display lottery A table is used to perform the eye-catching display lottery, while in the second situation, the eye-catching display lottery B table is used to perform the eye-catching display lottery. Therefore, one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays is selected from the plurality of types of eye-catching displays at different ratios (40% and 60% in determining the eye-catching display D) between the first situation and the second situation. An eye-catching display will be performed.

As described above, in the modified example of the first embodiment, which of the plurality of types of modes having different advantages is set in the first situation and the second situation in which the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. An eye-catching display is made to suggest. Specifically, when the mode B having a high expectation of granting the privilege (advantageous section CZ or advantageous section AT) is determined, the eye-catching display D is likely to be displayed. Therefore, the player can pay attention to what kind of ball ejection state is controlled in the advantageous section by performing the eye-catching display.

In addition, for example, when the game store is controlled to the advantageous section at the end of business on the previous day, the eye-catching display is displayed in the third situation where the advantageous section is continued at the start of business on the next day without changing the set value. Is not performed, and the set value is changed so that the normal section shifts to the normal section at the start of business the next day, and then the eye-catching display is performed in the second situation of shifting to the advantageous section. Therefore, the player can infer that the setting has been changed by performing the eye-catching display. This motivates the player to continue the game.

In addition, by making the selection ratio of the eye-catching display different between the first situation and the second situation, it will be a motivation to hit the first stand in the morning after the start of business, so the operating rate of the slot machine in the first situation will be improved. It is possible to perform an eye-catching display with contents suitable for. In this way, it is possible to preferably execute the eye-catching display regarding the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.

[Setting change processing]
Hereinafter, the details of the process executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the start processing (main) and the setting change processing executed by the main control unit 41. First, the startup process (main) will be described.

When the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the main control unit 41 performs a startup process (main), which is a process at the time of starting the slot machine 1. First, the main control unit 41 performs an initialization process (S1). In the initialization process, first, all output ports are initialized. In the initial setting, the signal output from the output port is set to the OFF state.

Next, the main control unit 41 performs the built-in register setting process. The built-in register is a register for setting a function in the main CPU 41a. The built-in register setting process sets the set values in multiple areas that need to be set when starting control. Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is an abnormality in the RAM 41c. If there is an abnormality in the RAM 41c, the area to be initialized is initialized.

When the initialization process is completed, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the day-to-day condition is satisfied (S2). The slot machine 1 includes an RTC that measures time information that can specify the time. The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the day-to-day condition is satisfied based on the time specified from the time information timed by the RTC.

The day-to-day condition is satisfied when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned off and then the power is turned on at a specific time (4:00 am). The day-to-day condition may be satisfied when the power is turned on after a predetermined time (for example, 4 hours) or more has elapsed after the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off.

If the day-to-day condition is not satisfied (NO in S2), the process proceeds to S5. When the day-to-day condition is satisfied (YES in S2), the main control unit 41 turns on the day-to-day flag (S3) and executes the day-to-day command transmission process (S4). When the day-to-day condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 transmits a day-to-day command that can specify whether or not the day-to-day condition is satisfied to the sub-control unit 91 in the day-to-day command transmission process. In this case, the command makes it possible to identify that the day-to-day condition is satisfied.

After receiving the day straddle command, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the day straddle condition is satisfied based on the day straddle command. As will be described later, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the fourth situation is reached according to the determination result. Further, the sub-control unit 91 selects one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays at different ratios according to the determination result, and performs the eye-catching display.

After the day-to-day command transmission process, the main control unit 41 executes a setting change process (S5) described later. Next, the main control unit 41 turns on the power-on flag (S6). Executes the power-on command transmission process. In the power-on command transmission process, the main control unit 41 transmits a power-on command that can specify whether or not the power has been turned on to the sub-control unit 91. In this case, the command makes it possible to identify that the power has been turned on.

After receiving the power-on command, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the power is turned on based on the power-on command. As will be described later, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the fourth situation is reached according to the determination result.

Next, the main control unit sets the interrupt permission (S8). After that, the process returns to the process in the main process that was executed before the power supply to the slot machine 1 was stopped.

Next, the setting change process will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there has been a setting change operation (Sa1). If there is no setting change operation (NO in Sa1), the main control unit 41 ends this process.

On the other hand, when the setting change operation is performed (YES in Sa1), the main control unit 41 initializes the values related to all the counters and stocks (S2). For example, the total value of the number of digested games and the net increase in the number of balls counted in the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, and the value of points that can be obtained during the game are initialized. Further, if the CZ stock which is the right to control the state in the advantageous section CZ and the AT stock which is the right to control the state in the advantageous section AT are held, the stock is also initialized.

Next, the main control unit 41 turns on the setting change flag (Sa3) and performs the setting change command transmission process (Sa4). The main control unit 41 transmits a setting change command that can specify whether or not the set value has been changed to the sub control unit 91 in the setting change command transmission process. In this case, the command makes it possible to identify that the set value has been changed.

After receiving the setting change command, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the setting value has been changed based on the setting change command. As will be described later, the sub-control unit 91 selects one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays at different ratios according to the determination result, and performs the eye-catching display.

After that, the main control unit 41 normally controls the state during the normal section (Sa5). For example, when the setting is changed in the normal state, the state is normally maintained, and when the setting is changed in the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, the state is normally controlled. After that, the main control unit 41 ends this process.

[Main processing]
FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the main process executed by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 25, the main control unit 41 executes the game start waiting process (S11). In the game start waiting process, the main control unit 41 performs a process of setting the number of bets according to the insertion of medals, etc., and the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the specified number of bets set. , Performs the process of starting the next game. Next, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery process (S12).

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the ball ejection control process (S13). The ball ejection control process will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, the main control unit 41 executes the reel rotation start process (S14). In the reel rotation start process, the main control unit 41 starts the rotation control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R in a predetermined rotation mode.

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the reel stop control process (S15). In the reel stop control process, the main control unit 41 performs processing related to navigation, and controls to stop the reel under rotation control based on the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the winning determination process (S16). In the winning determination process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is a winning and the type thereof based on the result of the internal lottery and the symbol combination stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R.

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the RT state setting process (S17). In the RT state setting process, the main control unit 41 controls the RT state based on the result of the internal lottery and the result of the winning determination. For example, the main control unit 41 controls the RT state inside the inside when the BB is won in the non-inside and the BB does not win a prize. Further, the main control unit 41 controls the RT state to the BB when the BB wins a prize inside.

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the AT state management process (S18). In the AT state management process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section G is in the advantageous section based on whether or not the number of advantageous sections G is a value other than the initial value (for example, 0). Then, when it is determined that the main control unit 41 is in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 counts the net increase number of medals paid out in the advantageous section and updates the net increase number counter, or the advantageous section G number or the ED transition G. Count the number.

Further, the main control unit 41 determines the number of digested games in the advantageous section when the total of the net increase number reaches the upper limit value (for example, 2400 sheets) based on the updated net increase number counter, or based on the advantageous section G number. When the upper limit value (for example, 1500 G) is reached, an advantageous section end flag indicating that the advantageous section is ended is set. Further, the main control unit 41 sets an ED transition flag indicating that ED control is performed when the number of digestion games in the advantageous section reaches the ED transition G number based on the advantageous section G number.

The advantageous section end flag set by the AT state management process is referred to by the main control unit 41, and when the advantageous section end flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, it relates to the advantageous section in the storage area of the RAM 41c. A series of advantageous sections ends when a predetermined area in which information (for example, the number of advantageous sections G, the net increase number of sheets, the number of ED transitions G, the ball ejection state information, etc.) is stored is initialized.

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the medal payout process (S19). In the medal payout process, the main control unit 41 grants a predetermined number of medals predetermined for each winning combination to the player according to the winning medals generated, and adds the number of medals to be granted to the credits. When the maximum number of credits (50 in this embodiment) is reached, the medals not added to the credits are paid out from the medal payout outlet 9. After that, the main control unit 41 ends this process.

[Ball output control process]
FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the ball ejection control process executed by the main control unit. As shown in FIG. 26, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is in the advantageous section (S21). When the main control unit 41 is not in the advantageous section (NO in S21), the main control unit 41 executes the normal middle processing (S22). The normal processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 27. After that, the main control unit 41 ends this process.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is in the advantageous section (YES in S21), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the advantageous section G number counter (S23). The predetermined area of the RAM 41c in which the advantageous section G number counter is set is included in the predetermined area that is initialized when it is determined by the main process that the advantageous section end flag is set, and the advantageous section G is included. The number counter is set to the initial value (0) by being initialized at the end of the advantageous interval.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the RT state is in BB (S24). When the RT state is not in BB (NO in S24), the main control unit 41 ends this process. On the other hand, when the RT state is in BB (YES in S24), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the ED transition G number counter (S25).

Next, the main control unit 41 executes the ball ejection state processing (S26). The main control unit 41 performs processing according to the ball ejection state currently being controlled in the ball ejection state processing. For example, the main control unit 41 executes a lottery related to the advantageous section normal processing shown in FIG. 29, which will be described later, and various benefits shown in FIG. 30 as the ball ejection state processing.

[Normal processing]
FIG. 27 is a flowchart of normal intermediate processing executed by the main control unit 41. FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining a privilege lottery table during normal operation. The main control unit 41 executes the normal middle process when the start operation is performed in each game during the normal middle (normal section normal middle).

As shown in FIG. 27, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section transition lottery (S31). In the advantageous section transition lottery, when any of the combination numbers 7 to 41 among the lottery target combinations shown in FIG. 10 is won, the advantageous section is won.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28A, in the advantageous section transition lottery, when the winning combination number in the internal lottery is 7 to 41, the advantageous section is won with a 100% probability, while the internal lottery is performed. When the winning combination number in is another number, the advantageous section is not won.

Returning to FIG. 27, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section has been won after performing the advantageous section transition lottery (S32). If the advantageous section is not won (NO in S32), the main control unit 41 ends this process. On the other hand, when the advantageous section is won (YES in S32), the main control unit 41 performs a mode lottery (S33).

In the mode lottery, the mode is determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination shown in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28B, in the mode lottery, one of the modes A and B is determined by the lottery based on the flag category won in the internal lottery.

Specifically, the rate in which mode B is determined in the order of FC5-7, FC2-4, FC0,1 in the flag category is high, and the mode is in the order of FC0,1, FC2-4, FC5-7 in the flag category. The rate at which A is determined is low.

Advantageous section Normally, when the points given based on the result of the point acquisition lottery reach the reached points (for example, 300p, 500p, 700p), the point privilege lottery is performed and the player is given CZ stock or AT stock. To.

The CZ stock is a right for controlling the state in the advantageous section CZ. For example, for each CZ stock, the state is controlled in the advantageous section CZ over a period of 30 G. The AT stock is a right for the state to be controlled by the advantageous section AT. For example, for each AT stock, the state is controlled by the advantageous section AT over a period of 30 G, or 30 times of navigation are performed. The state is controlled in the advantageous section AT for a period until it is executed. As will be described later, when the mode B is controlled, the probability that the CZ stock or the AT stock is given is higher than when the mode A is controlled. That is, it can be said that mode B has a higher advantage (expectation for granting benefits) for the player than mode A.

Then, when the advantageous section is won, it is possible to display an eye catch. When the advantageous section is won, the main control unit 41 performs a mode lottery (S33) and an initial point acquisition lottery (S34 described later). At the same time, the sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display lottery.

When the advantageous section is won, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of identifying that the advantageous section has been won to the sub control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 identifies that the advantageous section has been won by the command, the sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display lottery.

The sub-control unit 91 selects one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays. At that time, the eye-catching display is selected using the common lottery table regardless of whether it is the first situation, the second situation, or the fourth situation. In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of eye-catching displays are eye-catching displays A to D.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), when any of the eye-catching displays A to D is selected, it is the first situation or the second situation. Regardless of the four situations, the eye-catching display is selected using the common eye-catching display lottery A table.

Further, when the sub-control unit 91 selects one of the eye-catching displays from the plurality of types of eye-catching displays, the sub-control unit 91 regardless of whether it is the first situation, the second situation, or the fourth situation. , Perform common processing. Specifically, when selecting the eye-catching display, the eye-catching display lottery is performed by a common process using the eye-catching display lottery A table.

In the eye-catching display lottery, when the mode B having a high advantage for the player is determined, the eye-catching display D, the eye-catching display C, the eye-catching display B, and the eye-catching display A are easily selected in this order. .. That is, it can be said that the degree of expectation regarding the mode B having a high degree of advantage is higher in the order of the eye-catching displays D, C, B, and A. Further, when the mode A having a low advantage is determined, the eye-catching display A, the eye-catching display B, the eye-catching display C, and the eye-catching display D are easily selected in this order.

Further, as a modified example, as described with reference to FIG. 23, when the result of the mode lottery is the same in the first situation and the second situation, there are a plurality of types at different ratios in the first situation and the second situation. One of the eye-catching displays may be selected from the eye-catching displays to perform the eye-catching display.

In this case, as a modification 1, the eye-catching display lottery A table of FIG. 28 (c) is used in the first situation, and the eye-catching display lottery B of FIG. 28 (d) is used in the second situation. A table may be used to select an eye-catching display. Further, even in the fourth situation, the eye-catching display lottery B table shown in FIG. 28D may be used.

The result of the mode lottery includes the determination of mode A and the determination of mode B which is more advantageous to the player than the determination of mode A. The plurality of types of eye-catching displays include an eye-catching display A and an eye-catching display D which is suggested to be more advantageous to the player than the eye-catching display A.

For example, when the result of the mode lottery is the determination of the mode B, in the second situation and the fourth situation using the eye-catching display lottery B table of FIG. 28 (d), the eye-catching display lottery A of FIG. 28 (c) The eye-catching display D is selected from the eye-catching display A and the eye-catching display D at a higher ratio than in the first situation using the table (40% in the first situation). On the other hand, it is 60% in the second and fourth situations).

Further, when the eye-catching display lottery A table is used, when the eye-catching display D is selected, either the mode A or the mode B may be determined, whereas the eye-catching display may be determined. When the lottery B table is used, it is confirmed that the mode B is determined when the eye-catching display D is selected.

In the first modification, when the mode B is determined in the second situation or the fourth situation, the eye-catching display D is easily selected, and the eye-catching display A is difficult to be selected. That is, the reliability that the mode B is determined when the eye-catching display D is displayed is high. Therefore, the slot machine that has an advantageous lottery result (mode B) in the second situation will be more appealing, and the operating rate of the slot machine in the morning can be improved.

Further, as a modification 2, the eye-catching display lottery A table of FIG. 28 (c) is used in the first situation, and the eye-catching display lottery B table of FIG. 28 (e) is used in the second situation. May be used to select the eye-catching display. Further, even in the fourth situation, the eye-catching display lottery B table of FIG. 28 (e) may be used.

For example, in the second and fourth situations where the eye-catching display lottery B table of FIG. 28 (e) is used, the ratio is lower than that of the first situation where the eye-catching display lottery A table of FIG. 28 (c) is used. Select the eye-catching display D from the eye-catching display A and the eye-catching display D to display the eye-catching display (40% in the first situation, but 35 in the second and fourth situations). %).

Further, when the mode A is determined, in the second situation or the fourth situation using the eye-catching display lottery A table of FIG. 28 (c), the eye-catching display lottery B table of FIG. 28 (e) is used. The eye-catching display D is more likely to be selected than in the first situation in which the above is used (3% in the first situation, 10% in the second and fourth situations).

In the second modification, when the mode B is determined in the second situation or the fourth situation, it becomes difficult to select the eye-catching display D, and it becomes easy to select the eye-catching display A. Therefore, although the reliability that the mode B is determined when the eye-catching display D is displayed in the second situation or the fourth situation is low, the display by the eye-catching display D is not performed and the display by the eye-catching display A is performed. Even if is performed, the expectation that mode B is determined increases. As a result, the operating rate of the slot machine in the morning can be improved.

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 24, when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on and the start-up process (main) is executed, the main control unit 41 receives a day-to-day command, a power-on command, a setting change command, and the like. Performs the transmission process of. Hereinafter, various determinations made when the sub-control unit 91 receives the above command will be described.

In the present embodiment, a common normal background image is displayed in the normal section or the advantageous section normal. However, not limited to this, in the normal section or the advantageous section normal, it is possible to switch to a plurality of types of display modes (display mode A, display mode B, display mode C), and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the display mode is changed. It may be switchable. For example, a predetermined condition is the passage of a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games).

It should be noted that the advantage for the player may be different depending on the display mode in which the player stays. For example, when staying in display mode C, a lottery is performed so as to be more advantageous in the initial point acquisition lottery, point privilege lottery, and point privilege lottery than when staying in display mode B or display mode A. You may. Further, the advantage for the player may be the same regardless of which display mode is stayed.

The plurality of types of display modes include display mode A, display mode B, and display mode C. When the display mode A is switched to the display mode B, the normal background image is switched from the normal background image A to the normal background image B. When the display mode B is switched to the display mode C, the normal background image is switched from the normal background image B to the normal background image C. When the display mode C is switched to the display mode A, the normal background image is switched from the normal background image C to the normal background image A.

In such a case, in a situation where the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day, the display mode A is always started. In this way, the normal background image A may be displayed in the normal section or the advantageous section normal.

On the other hand, during the operation of a game store, the power may be temporarily cut off due to a power outage or the like (power failure occurs), and then the power may be restored immediately after that (recovery from power failure). If the background image is switched after the momentary interruption occurs, the player may suspect that the game store has performed an illegal operation. For example, if the display mode is switched from an advantageous display mode to an unfavorable display mode after a momentary interruption occurs, the player may suspect that the game store has intentionally switched to the unfavorable display mode in order to suppress the ball output. There is.

Therefore, when the power is restored during business hours, the display mode before the power failure is maintained without starting from the display mode A as described above. For example, if a power failure (instantaneous interruption) occurs in the display mode B (display of the normal background image B) and the power is restored from the power failure, the display mode B (display of the normal background image B) is restarted. To do.

Whether it is a recovery from a power failure during business hours or a recovery from a power failure due to the start of business as described above can be determined by using a power-on command or a day-to-day command. Specifically, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the power-on command and does not receive the day-to-day command, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the power is restored from the power failure during business hours. Further, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the power-on command and the day-to-day command, it determines that the recovery from the power failure due to the start of business.

Next, in the first modification or the second modification, a method of determining which of the eye-catching display lottery A table and the eye-catching display lottery B table is used depending on the situation will be described.

In the first modification or the second modification, the sub-control unit 91 receives the power-on command, the day-to-day command, and is further specified to be in the normal state by a command capable of specifying the ball ejection state. On the condition that it is determined that it is the second situation or the fourth situation, the eye-catching display lottery B table is used. If the day-to-day command is not received, it is considered that there is a momentary interruption during business hours, so it is not judged that it is the second situation or the fourth situation.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 determines that it is the first situation on the condition that the power-on command has not been received and the day-to-day command has not been received, and uses the eye-catching display lottery A table.

By doing so, the sub-control unit 91 selects one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays at different ratios based on the received day-to-day command or setting change command, and the eye-catching display is concerned. Can be displayed.

Here, in the case of the above configuration, the sub control unit 91 cannot determine whether or not the setting has been changed. That is, the sub-control unit 91 cannot distinguish whether it is the second situation or the fourth situation. However, in the present embodiment, since it is about one game to stay in the normal section, it is rare that the business on the previous day is closed during the normal section. Therefore, regardless of whether it is the second situation or the fourth situation, it may be considered that the setting has been changed and the processing may be performed uniformly.

In addition, when the setting is changed, it is assumed that the business on the previous day is closed and the setting is changed on the same day, or the setting is changed when the power is turned on before the business starts on the next day. In the latter case, the setting change command is sent together with the power-on command when the power is turned on the next day, but in the former case, the setting change command is not sent together with the power-on command when the power is turned on the next day.

Even in such a case, in order to identify that the setting has been changed, for example, the sub-control unit 91 stores the reception of the setting change command of the previous day and receives the power-on command of the next day. At that time, if even one game has not been digested from the reception of the setting change command, it may be determined that the setting has been changed. This is because the game is not digested during non-business hours. By doing so, it is possible to distinguish between the second situation and the fourth situation, and it is possible to use different eye-catching display lottery tables for the second situation and the fourth situation.

Returning to FIG. 27, the main control unit 41 performs an initial point acquisition lottery (S34). In the point acquisition lottery, the initial points are determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 28 (f), the initial point acquisition lottery relating to the granting of the initial points normally used in the advantageous section is performed based on the category flag assigned for each type of the lottery target combination in the internal lottery. The initial points that can be given are, for example, 0p, 50p, 100p, 200p. The initial point acquisition lottery may be performed based on the mode determined in the mode lottery. In this case, when mode B is selected, it is easy to give in the order of 200p, 100p, 50p, 200p, and when mode A is selected, it is easy to give in the order of 0p, 50p, 100p, 200p. You may.

Returning to FIG. 27, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state from the normal to the advantageous section normal after the processing of S34 or when NO in S32 (S35).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the ball ejection flag so as to change the ball ejection state from "0" corresponding to the normal ball ejection state to "1" corresponding to the advantageous section normal. As a result, the state is normally controlled in the advantageous section from the next game. The main control unit 41 ends this process after the process of S30.

[Advantageous section normal processing]
FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the advantageous section normal processing executed by the main control unit 41. FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining a privilege lottery table during normal advantageous sections. The main control unit 41 executes the advantageous section normal processing when the start operation is performed in each game during the advantageous section normal.

As shown in FIG. 29, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is determined to control from the advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section normal (S51). The main control unit 41 proceeds to S52 when the game is determined to control from the advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section normal (YES in S51). If the game is not determined to control the advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section normal (NO in S51), the main control unit 41 proceeds to S53.

The main control unit 41 performs a mode lottery in S52. Advantageous section The mode lottery normally performed is performed using the mode lottery table shown in FIG. 30 (a).

As described above, the mode lottery is not limited to the one performed when shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section (FIG. 28 (b)), and may be performed during the advantageous section (FIG. 30 (a)). .. Further, the result of the mode lottery performed when shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section may be more advantageous to the player than the result of the mode lottery performed in the advantageous section.

Specifically, when the mode lottery table of FIG. 28 (b) is used, the mode is higher than that of mode B when the flag category is FC5 to 7 than when the mode lottery table of FIG. 30 (a) is used. The rate at which A is determined increases. Further, when the flag category is FC0 to 5, the rate at which mode B is determined is higher than that of mode A.

Further, when the mode lottery is performed, the sub control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display lottery. The eye-catching display lottery may be performed using, for example, the eye-catching display lottery table shown in FIG. 29 (c). Then, the eye-catching display may be performed in the first game in which the advantageous section CZ is normally controlled from the advantageous section CZ.

Returning to FIG. 29, in S53, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the arrival point (for example, 100p, 300p, 600p) has been reached. When the arrival point is reached (YES in S53), the main control unit 41 performs a point privilege lottery (S54). In the point privilege lottery, it is decided whether or not to win the CZ and whether or not to win the AT.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30B, in the point privilege lottery, whether or not the CZ is won in the lottery (whether or not the CZ stock is given) and the AT are won based on the reached points. Whether or not (whether or not AT stock is granted) is determined.

In the point privilege lottery, when the mode B is controlled, the lottery is performed so that the probability that the privilege (CZ stock or AT stock) is given is higher than when the mode A is controlled. That is, the mode B has a higher advantage (expectation regarding privilege grant) for the player than the mode A.

Further, in the point privilege lottery, the probability of winning the CZ is higher than that of the AT winning even in the privilege type determined at the time of winning the privilege. In the point privilege lottery, when the current set value is 6, the probability of winning the privilege may be higher than when the current set value is 1 to 5.

Returning to FIG. 29, the main control unit 41 performs a point acquisition lottery after the processing of S54 or when the arrival point has not been reached (NO in S53) (S55). In the point acquisition lottery, points are determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30 (c), in the point acquisition lottery, the number of points to be given is determined by the lottery based on the flag category won in the internal lottery, and the player is given points. .. For example, in the point acquisition lottery, in the mode B, more points are likely to be added with a higher probability than in the mode A.

Returning to FIG. 29, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the accumulated points are 1000p or more after the point acquisition lottery (S56). When the accumulated points are 1000p or more (YES in S56), the main control unit 41 gives CZ stock instead of subtracting 1000p from the accumulated points (S57). After that, the main control unit 41 performs control for shifting the state to the advantageous section CZ (S58).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the ball ejection flag so as to change the ball ejection state from "1" corresponding to the advantageous section normal to "2" corresponding to the advantageous section CZ. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section CZ. The main control unit 41 ends this process after the process of S58. If the accumulated points are 1000p or more, AT stock may be added.

On the other hand, when the accumulated points are not 1000p or more (NO in S56), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the CZ stock is given (S59). When the CZ stock is given (YES in S59), the main control unit 41 controls to shift the state to the advantageous section CZ (S60).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the ball ejection flag so as to change the ball ejection state from "1" corresponding to the advantageous section normal to "2" corresponding to the advantageous section CZ. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section CZ. The main control unit 41 ends this process after the process of S60.

On the other hand, when the CZ stock is not given (NO in S59), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT stock is given (S61). When the AT stock is given (YES in S61), the main control unit 41 controls to shift the state to the advantageous section AT (S62).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 updates the ball ejection flag so as to change the ball ejection state from "1" corresponding to the advantageous section normal to "3" corresponding to the advantageous section AT. As a result, the state is controlled from the next game to the advantageous section AT. The main control unit 41 ends this process after the process of S62.

On the other hand, when the AT stock is not given (NO in S61), the main control unit 41 ends this process.

Further, although not shown, the privilege lottery is also performed during the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, and the advantageous section special zone. In the privilege lottery during the advantageous section CZ, whether or not to win the AT is determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination. In the privilege lottery during the advantageous section AT, it is determined whether or not to add the number of AT games and whether or not to win the special zone based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination. In the privilege lottery in the advantageous section special zone, the number of AT games to be added is determined based on the flag category assigned to the lottery target combination.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 33. Regarding the slot machine according to the second embodiment, only the parts different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described, and the other parts will be related to the slot machine according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment. Common with slot machines.

In the first embodiment, the eye-catching display is not performed in the third situation. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the eye-catching display is performed in the third situation. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

In the second embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display in the third situation. As a result, in the second embodiment, the eye-catching display is performed in all the situations of the first situation to the fourth situation.

In addition, when the result of the mode lottery is the same in the second situation and the third situation, one of the eye-catching displays is selected from a plurality of types of eye-catching displays at the same ratio in the second situation and the third situation. Then, the eye-catching display is performed.

Further, as in the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, when the result of the mode lottery is the same in the first situation and the second situation, the sub-control unit 91 will be in the first situation and the second situation. At the same ratio, one of a plurality of types of eye-catching displays is selected to perform the eye-catching display.

[Direction in the third situation]
FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (third situation) when the power is cut off during the advantageous section and the power is restored in the advantageous section in the second embodiment. As described above, the third situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the advantageous section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed during the normal advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 31 (a), a background image is usually displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Currently controlled to mode B. Further, the internal p and the display p are 180p, and the updated image 520a corresponding to the display p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In this state, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). Further, it is assumed that the setting is not changed during this period.

If the setting is not changed, the specific information stored in the RAM 41c is not initialized. For this reason, the points accumulated before the power failure are retained, and the ball ejection state is maintained as normal in the advantageous section.

Then, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the demo screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 31 (b) until the number of bets is set by inserting medals. When the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion unit 4, as shown in FIG. 31 (c), the liquid crystal display 51 displays a normal background image which is a background normally displayed in the advantageous section. This background is the same as the background displayed in the normal section.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed. In this example, when any of the winning combinations of the winning combination numbers 7 to 41 is won, an eye-catching display is performed. That is, in the third situation, the probability that the eye-catching display is performed is the same as that in the first situation, the second situation, and the fourth situation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the eye-catching display may always be performed on condition that the start operation has been performed. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the processing load in the eye-catching display.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 31D, an image prompting the operation of the effect button is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the player operates the effect button, an eye-catching display is performed as shown in FIG. 31 (e). The eye-catching display performed at this time is the same as that performed at the time of the previous transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.

When the start operation for starting the next game (second game) is performed, as shown in FIG. 31 (f), a normal background image is displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Similar to the example of FIG. 17, during the predetermined game (10 games) from the start of the advantageous section normal, the update value (internal p) of the points is not displayed as it is, and the display p starts from 0p. An updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (0p) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The internal p is maintained at 180p at the end of business on the previous day. In addition, the mode also maintains the state of mode B before the occurrence of power failure.

Further, it is assumed that a start operation is performed to start the 12th game after 10 games have passed. During this period, it is assumed that the total number of points acquired by the point acquisition lottery is 52 points. The update value (internal p) of the point is 232p by adding 52p to 180p. However, the display p is 52p because it starts from 0p.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 31 (g), the updated image 520a corresponding to 52p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 31 (h), by executing the addition effect, 180p is added to the display p (52p) and the display changes to 232p. As a result, the display p matches the internal p.

After that, when the arrival point is reached, the point privilege lottery is executed. In this example, since the mode B is controlled, the probability of being controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is higher than when the mode A is controlled.

[Comparison between the second situation and the third situation]
FIG. 32 is a diagram for comparing and explaining the second situation and the third situation in the second embodiment. 32 (a1) to 32 (a3) are diagrams for explaining the second situation, and FIGS. 32 (b1) to 32 (b3) are diagrams for explaining the third situation. The contents shown in FIGS. 32 (a1) to 32 (a3) are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 19, and the contents shown with reference to FIGS. 32 (b1) to (b3) are the same as those described with reference to FIG. Since the same is true, the details will be omitted.

First, the second situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 32 (a1), the business of the amusement shop is closed during the normal advantageous section. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an updated image 520a corresponding to the updated value (280p) of the point at this time.

In this state, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off due to the closing of the business of the amusement store, and then the power is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). During this time, it is assumed that the settings have been changed. Therefore, it is controlled in the normal section.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won in the first game. As a result, the transition to the advantageous section is determined. At this time, it is assumed that the mode B is determined in the mode lottery, the grant of 100p is determined as the initial point, and the eye-catching display D is determined.

When the eye-catching display lottery is performed in the first situation, the eye-catching display lottery A table (FIG. 28 (c)) is used. Then, when the mode B is determined, it is determined that the eye-catching display D is performed with a probability of 40%.

Then, in the game, as shown in FIG. 32 (a2), the eye-catching display D is performed. In the next game, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 32 (a3), the point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Advantageous section In the game that has shifted to the normal, "0p" is displayed as the value (display p) to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As the internal p, 100p given as an initial point is set.

Next, the third situation will be described. As shown in FIG. 32 (b1), the business of the amusement shop is closed in the advantageous section normally. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an updated image 520a corresponding to the updated value (280p) of the point at this time.

In this state, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off due to the closing of the business of the amusement store, and then the power is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). It is assumed that the settings have not been changed during this period. Therefore, the normal state of the advantageous section before the occurrence of the power failure is maintained.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won in the first game. As a result, it is determined that the eye-catching display is performed. At this time, based on the initial points given at the time of the previous transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, the eye-catching display lottery in the third situation is performed using the same table (eye-catching display lottery A table) as at the time of the transition. It may be.

When the eye-catching display lottery is performed in the third situation, the eye-catching display lottery A table (FIG. 28 (c)) is used. Then, when the mode B is determined, it is determined that the eye-catching display D is performed with a probability of 40%.

Then, in the advantageous section winning game, the eye-catching display D is performed as shown in FIG. 32 (b2). In the next game, as shown in FIG. 32 (b3), "0p" is displayed as the value (display p) to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The internal p is maintained at 280p at the end of business on the previous day.

As described above, in this example, the result of the mode acquisition lottery is the same in the second situation and the third situation (mode B is determined). In both the second situation and the third situation, the eye-catching display lottery is performed using the eye-catching display lottery A table. Therefore, the eye-catching display D is selected and the eye-catching display D is performed at the same ratio (40% probability) in the second situation and the third situation.

As described above, in the second embodiment, it is suggested which of the plurality of types of modes having different advantages is set in the first situation and the second situation in which the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. An eye-catching display is performed. Specifically, when the mode B having a high expectation of granting the privilege (advantageous section CZ or advantageous section AT) is determined, the eye-catching display D is likely to be displayed. Therefore, the player can pay attention to what kind of ball ejection state is controlled in the advantageous section by performing the eye-catching display.

Further, for example, in the case where the game store is controlled to the advantageous section at the time of closing the business on the previous day, the third situation in which the advantageous section is continued at the time of starting the business on the next day without changing the set value, and the set value. As a result of the change, the eye-catching display will be displayed in any of the second situations where the section shifts to the normal section at the start of business the next day and then shifts to the advantageous section, so the player can determine whether or not the setting has been changed. Cannot be guessed. As a result, the game store can make each player play the game in an equal state.

In addition, the eye-catching display is also performed in the third situation, so that the player can know the content of the suggestion by the eye-catching display on the previous day. Further, by making the selection ratio of the eye-catching display common between the first situation and the second situation, it is possible to make the processing common to both, and thereby reduce the processing load. In this way, it is possible to preferably execute the eye-catching display regarding the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.

In this way, it is possible to preferably execute the eye-catching display regarding the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, the slot machine according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 37. Regarding the slot machine according to the third embodiment, only the parts different from the slot machines according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described, and the other parts will be described in the first embodiment or the second embodiment. This is common to the slot machine according to the third embodiment and the slot machine according to the third embodiment.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the eye-catching display is performed in the first, second and fourth situations, and in the second embodiment, the eye-catching display is performed in the first to fourth situations. did. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the eye-catching display is performed only in the first situation. In addition, in the third embodiment, it is possible to control the special effect state. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

The sub-control unit 91 performs an eye-catching display in the first situation. An example of the eye-catching display in the first situation is as described with reference to FIG. In addition, the sub control unit 91 enables control to a special effect state. The sub control unit 91 controls the special effect state in the second situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG. 34. Further, the sub control unit 91 controls the special effect state in the third situation. Specific examples will be described later with reference to FIG. 35. Further, the sub control unit 91 controls the special effect state in the fourth situation. A specific example will be described later with reference to FIG. 36.

As described above, the main control unit 41 performs a process of updating the update value based on the progress of the game in the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, the update value is an update value of points. Further, the sub control unit 91 can suggest an updated value. When the update value reaches a specific value, the sub-control unit 91 performs control that is advantageous to the player.

The specific value is, for example, the final point (1000p). The control that is advantageous for the player is, for example, control to the advantageous section CZ, the advantageous section AT, or the advantageous section special zone. In the present embodiment, when the update value of the point reaches the final point (1000p), the control to the advantageous section CZ is performed. In the special effect state, the point update value is not suggested.

In addition, the special effect state continues until a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition may be, for example, when the advantageous section is controlled to the normal section. Further, it may be continued until it is controlled to an advantageous state which is advantageous to the player. The advantageous state is, for example, an advantageous section CZ, an advantageous section AT, or an advantageous section specialized zone.

The situations that can be controlled to the special effect state are the second situation to the fourth situation. In these situations, it is controlled to the normal section normal or the advantageous section normal. That is, the special effect state starts from the normal section normal or the advantageous section normal and ends when controlled by the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT. In the present embodiment, since the normal section normal or the advantageous section normal is not directly controlled to the advantageous section special zone, the special effect state does not end when the control to the advantageous section special zone is performed. ..

[Direction in the second situation]
FIG. 34 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (second situation) when the power is cut off during the advantageous section and the normal section is restored by changing the setting in the third embodiment. As described above, the second situation is a situation in which the slot machine 1 is controlled to the normal section normal due to a setting change, and then shifts from the normal section normal to the advantageous section normal.

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed during the normal advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 34 (a), a background image is usually displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. It is assumed that the mode A is currently controlled. Further, it is assumed that the updated value (internal p) of the points accumulated based on the game is 180p. In this example, the addition effect is executed, and the display p and the internal p match. Therefore, the updated image 520a corresponding to 180p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

It is assumed that the game store is closed in this state and the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off. Then, it is assumed that the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day. Further, after the power supply of the slot machine 1 is cut off, the power supply is turned on over a specific time (4:00 am). In addition, it is assumed that the setting is changed during this period.

When the setting is changed, the information about the game stored in the RAM 41c is initialized. Therefore, if the setting is changed during the advantageous section, the points and the like accumulated in the advantageous section normal are initialized, and the ball ejection state shifts to the normal section.

Then, after changing the settings, the demo screen is displayed. That is, when the player selects the slot machine at the start of business, the demo screen is uniformly displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 of all the slot machines.

Then, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the production is executed in a common manner until the bet number for starting the game is set. Specifically, after the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the demo screen is displayed until the number of bets for starting the game is set by inserting medals. When the player selects a table and inserts a medal into the medal insertion unit 4, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a normal background image which is a background displayed in the normal section. This background is the same as the background displayed in the advantageous section normally.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed. By winning the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is decided. Here, it is assumed that mode B is determined by the mode lottery, and 100p is determined as the initial points by the initial point acquisition lottery. At this time, the control to the special effect state is determined. As a result, it is controlled to a special effect state.

When controlled to the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), a normal background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and points are formed in the map area 520 at the lower and right ends of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The map is displayed. In the special effect state, "???" is displayed as the updated image 520a. Also, the moving character is not displayed.

When the start operation for starting the next game (second game) is performed, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), the same background and point map as the normal section are displayed. Even in this case, "???" is displayed without displaying the updated image 520a corresponding to 100p determined as the initial point. That is, in the special effect state, the initial point (updated value of the point) is not suggested.

It is assumed that when the start operation for starting the next game (third game) is performed, the granting of 10p is determined by the point acquisition lottery using the point acquisition lottery table shown in FIG. 30 (c). As a result, the update value of the point becomes 110p by adding 10p to 100p. However, even in this case, the update value of the point is not suggested, and "???" is displayed without displaying the update image 520a corresponding to 110p.

It is assumed that a plurality of games are digested and the updated value of points reaches the final point (1000p) in the nth game. As a result, the control to the advantageous section CZ is determined. When the start operation for starting the next game (n + 1th game) is performed, the advantageous section shifts from the normal to the advantageous section CZ. The special production state continues until the transition to the advantageous section CZ. When the game shifts to CZ in the n + 1th game, as shown in FIG. 34 (f), the title display in which the character image "CZ rush" is displayed is performed, and the special effect state ends.

[Direction in the third situation]
FIG. 35 is a diagram for explaining an example of the flow of production (third situation) when the power is cut off during the advantageous section and the restoration is performed in the advantageous section in the third embodiment. As described above, the third situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the advantageous section normal based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed during the normal advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 35 (a), a background image is usually displayed and a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. It is assumed that the mode B is currently controlled. Further, it is assumed that the updated value (internal p) of the points accumulated based on the game is 180p. In this example, the addition effect is executed, and the display p and the internal p match. Therefore, the updated image 520a corresponding to 180p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In this state, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). Further, it is assumed that the setting is not changed during this period.

If the setting is not changed, the specific information stored in the RAM 41c is not initialized. For this reason, the points accumulated before the power failure are retained, and the ball ejection state is maintained as normal in the advantageous section. Further, the mode is maintained as mode B.

After the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the demo screen is displayed. When the player sets the number of bets by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4, the display of the demo screen ends, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays the normal background image which is the background displayed in the normal section. Is displayed.

When the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed, the control to the special effect state is determined. As a result, it is controlled to a special effect state. When controlled to the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), a normal background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and points are formed in the map area 520 at the lower and right ends of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The map is displayed.

In the special effect state, "???" is displayed as the updated image 520a. As the update value of the point, 180p at the end of business on the previous day is stored, but the update image 520a corresponding to 180p is not displayed.

It is assumed that when the start operation for starting the next game (second game) is performed, the point acquisition lottery determines the granting of 10p. As a result, the update value of the point becomes 190p by adding 10p to 180p. However, even in this case, the update value of the point is not suggested, and the update image 190a corresponding to 190p is not displayed, and "???" is displayed as shown in FIG. 35 (c). Will be done.

In the next game (third game), it is assumed that 10p is decided by the point acquisition lottery. As a result, the update value of the point becomes 200p by adding 10p to 190p. However, as in FIG. 35 (c), “???” is displayed as shown in FIG. 35 (d).

It is assumed that a plurality of games are digested and the updated value of points reaches the final point (1000p) in the nth game as shown in FIG. 35 (e). As a result, the control to the advantageous section CZ is determined. When the start operation for starting the next game (n + 1th game) is performed, the advantageous section shifts from the normal to the advantageous section CZ. As a result, the special effect state ends, and as shown in FIG. 35 (f), the title display in which the character image "CZ rush" is displayed is performed.

[Direction in the 4th situation]
FIG. 36 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the effect (fourth situation) when the power is cut off during the normal section and the normal section is restored in the third embodiment. As described above, the fourth situation is a situation in which the setting is not changed with respect to the power-on of the slot machine 1, and the control is started from the first game state based on the backup information (ball ejection flag).

In this example, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed in the normal section. As shown in FIG. 36A, a background image is usually displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this state, it is assumed that the business of the amusement store is closed, the power of the slot machine 1 is cut off, and the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on with the start of business the next day over a specific time (4:00 am). Further, it is assumed that the setting is not changed during this period. Therefore, the ball ejection state is maintained as the normal section.

It is assumed that the advantageous section is won when the start operation for starting the game (first game) is performed after the demo screen is displayed. By winning the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section is decided. Here, it is assumed that mode B is determined by the mode lottery, and 100p is determined as the initial points by the initial point acquisition lottery. At this time, the control to the special effect state is determined. As a result, it is controlled to a special effect state.

When controlled to the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 36B, a normal background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and points are formed in the map area 520 at the lower and right ends of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The map is displayed. In the special effect state, "???" is displayed as the updated image 520a. Also, the moving character is not displayed.

When the start operation for starting the next game (second game) is performed, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. At this time, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the same background and point map as the normal section are displayed. In the special effect state, "???" is displayed without displaying the updated image 520a corresponding to 100p.

It is assumed that when the start operation for starting the next game (third game) is performed, the grant of 10p is decided by the acquisition lottery. As a result, the update value of the point becomes 110p by adding 10p to 100p. However, even in this case, the update value of the point is not suggested, and "???" is displayed without displaying the update image 520a corresponding to 110p.

It is assumed that a plurality of games are digested and the updated value of points reaches the final point (1000p) in the nth game. As a result, the control to the advantageous section CZ is determined. When the start operation for starting the next game (n + 1th game) is performed, the advantageous section shifts from the normal to the advantageous section CZ. When the game shifts to CZ in the n + 1th game, as shown in FIG. 36 (f), the title display in which the character image "CZ rush" is displayed is performed, and the special effect state ends.

[Comparison between the state other than the special production state and the special production state]
FIG. 37 is a diagram for comparing and explaining a state other than the special effect state and the special effect state in the third embodiment. The state other than the special effect state is, for example, a state as described with reference to FIG. 17 (e). Specifically, it is a state in which after the transition from the advantageous section to the normal section, the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section is further performed.

The state of FIG. 37 (a1) is a state other than the special effect state, and the state of FIG. 37 (b1) is a special effect state.

In a state other than the special effect state, a point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 37 (a1). In this example, the internal p and the display p are 180p. An updated image 520a corresponding to 180p is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 37 (b1), the point map is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, but the updated image 520a corresponding to the display p (internal p) is not displayed, and the updated image 520a is displayed. "???" is displayed as.

Here, when the control is performed on the advantageous section, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a background image (normal background image) corresponding to the advantageous section. As shown in FIGS. 37 (a1) and 37 (b1), the normal background image is commonly displayed regardless of whether or not it is in the special effect state.

In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the advance notice effect. For example, the advance notice effect is an effect related to control to the advantageous section AT. The effect mode of the advance notice effect executed in the special effect state is the same as the effect mode of the advance notice effect executed when controlled in the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, the point update effect can be executed as an example of the advance notice effect. In a state other than the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 37 (a2), when the point award is determined by the point acquisition lottery, a character image indicating that the point is award to the liquid crystal display 51 ( In this example, "5p") is attached to the bird image and displayed.

The update value of the point is 185p by adding 5p to 180p. When the point update effect using the bird image is executed, the update image 520a corresponding to 185p is displayed. It should be noted that the updated image 520a corresponding to 185p may be displayed after the point updating effect using the bird image is completed.

On the other hand, in the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 37 (b2), when the point award is determined by the point acquisition lottery, the point is given to the liquid crystal display 51 as in the situation of FIG. 37 (a2). A character image "5p" indicating that the image is to be displayed is attached to the bird image. However, the updated image 520a corresponding to the updated value of the point is not displayed, and "???" is displayed.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 37 (a2) and 37 (b2), the effect mode of the point update effect executed in the special effect state is the effect of the point update effect executed when the advantageous section is controlled. It is the same as the aspect.

When the points determined by the point acquisition lottery are more than a predetermined point (for example, 100p), the points determined by the point update effect may not be suggested in the special effect state.

In a state other than the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 37 (a3), when 100p points are determined by the point acquisition lottery, the character image "100p" is attached to the bird image and displayed. Further, the update value of the point becomes 285p by adding 100p to 185p. When the point update effect using the bird image is executed, the update image 520a corresponding to 285p is displayed.

In the special effect state, as shown in FIG. 37 (b3), when 100 p points are determined by the point acquisition lottery, the character image "?? p" is attached to the bird image and displayed.
