The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery that affects the advantage to the player such as the internal lottery and the AT lottery. 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, it is necessary to turn on the power switch 39 of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by 1 (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is changed to 1). go back). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (set value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

The setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are provided inside the slot machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the front door 1b, which can be opened by a predetermined key operation, is opened. Of the clerk of the game store to be installed, only the clerk who has a predetermined key can operate it. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires further key operation, only the clerk of the game store who has the key for operating the setting key switch 37 can operate the setting key switch 37. Further, the reset switch 23 does not need to open the front door 1b, but requires a key operation using a predetermined key, so that only a store clerk who possesses the predetermined key can operate the reset switch 23. Further, the reset / setting switch 38 also functions as a reset switch for canceling the error state in the normal state.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4, or a MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets using credits. When a predetermined number of bets is set according to the game state, the predetermined winning lines LN (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, are arranged horizontally in the middle of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R). (Set across the symbols) is valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, that is, the game can be started. If more than the maximum number of medals are inserted out of the specified number corresponding to the gaming state, that amount will be added to the credit. Further, in this embodiment, only one winning line is applied, but a plurality of winning lines may be applied.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are continuously changed. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are being rotated, stop control is performed for the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the rotation of the reel is rotated. It is stopped, and the design of the reel is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in this embodiment) from the time when the operation is performed for each stop switch. Is performed, and until the maximum 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, 2C, and 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination won in the internal lottery described later is selected. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range up to 4 frames ahead of the symbol when the stop switch is operated, the symbol is pulled onto the winning line LN to rotate the reel on which the stop switch is operated. On the other hand, if the symbols that make up the winning combination that has been won in the internal lottery are not within the draw-in range, the symbols that make up the winning combination that has not been won in the internal lottery will be the winning line LN. It is possible to pull a symbol that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN so as not to stop upward, and control the stop switch to stop the rotation of the operated reel.

Further, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) accompanied by the transition of the gaming state is carried over, the small role accompanied by the awarding of the medal is won by the internal lottery, and the special role is won. When the winning small winning combination is winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning small winning combination are controlled to be preferentially drawn into the winning line LN within the above-mentioned attraction range, and the winning small winning combination When the constituent symbols cannot be drawn into the winning line LN, the constituent symbols of the winning special combination are controlled to be drawn into the winning line LN. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and a small role are simultaneously won, it is difficult to win the winning special role.

Further, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) is carried over, the re-game combination accompanied by the grant of the re-game is won by the internal lottery, and the special role and the re-game combination are won. When the players are winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning re-games are prioritized and drawn into the winning line LN. The symbols that make up the re-game combination on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R are arranged within a predetermined pull-in range, and when the re-game combination is won, the symbols that make up the re-game combination are always drawn into the winning line LN. Become. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and a replaying role are won at the same time, the winning special role cannot be won.

Then, one game ends when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, and a predetermined combination of winning combination symbols is stopped on the winning line LN as a display result on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. In some cases, a prize is generated, and control is performed according to the prize. When a small winning combination is won, a number of medals determined according to the type are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the maximum number of credits (50 in this embodiment) is reached, medals are directly paid out from the medal payout outlet 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when a re-game combination is won, a re-game that allows the game to be played without inserting a medal is given. In addition, when a special role is won, the gaming state is shifted to another gaming state.

In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. In addition, one unit of control (game control) for executing the game starts when all the controls associated with the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the type of winning combination (hereinafter referred to as winning combination) is determined according to the game state, and it is not necessary to set a small combination with medal payout and a bet number. There are a re-game role in which a re-game that enables the start of the next game is given, and a special role in which the game state is changed. In the following, the small role and the replay role are collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination. In the internal lottery, before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the above-mentioned winning of each winning combination (specifically, the specified number). When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the bet number set), it is determined by using a random number.

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 the relevant. It is valid until all the allowed combinations of combinations are available by the flag, and is invalid in the game where all the allowed combination of combinations are available. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of the winning combination permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It has become.

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, push order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , The re-game role (hereinafter, may be referred to as the navigation target role) can be won. The navigation target combination is, 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. In addition, 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 executes a navigation notification that notifies the navigation information that can specify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT) state, which is a possible notification period. The main control unit 41 starts controlling the AT state by granting the player the right to be controlled to the AT state. Then, when the AT state is controlled, by winning the navigation target combination, the navigation notification is executed, and the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R which are advantageous for the player (for example, the pressing order). , Operation timing, etc.) using the game auxiliary display 12, and by transmitting a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player to the sub-control unit 91, the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. The navigation effect of notifying is executed by using the device 51 or the like. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the navigation target winning combination won in the internal lottery can be reliably won.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a game auxiliary display 12 capable of displaying the number of medals paid out, an error code, and navigation information, and the game auxiliary display 12 is used in controlling the navigation notification. The navigation information is notified, but a dedicated display capable of displaying only the navigation information may be provided, and the navigation information may be notified using the dedicated display in the control of the navigation notification.

[About game status]
The main control unit 41 can control the game state to any of non-internal, internal, and special states.

In the non-internal, the winning of the special role (BB) is not carried over. When the slot machine 1 is started in a state where the factory default state of the slot machine 1 or a predetermined area of the RAM 41c for storing data related to the game state is initialized, the slot machine 1 is first controlled in the non-internal state. .. In addition, when the special state is terminated, it is controlled inside the non-internal. Then, during the non-internal, a special role (BB) is won by an internal lottery in the non-internal game, and the special role is dropped and transferred to the inside. In addition, in a game in which a special role (BB) is won in an internal lottery, the special role (BB) wins a prize and the game ends when the game is transferred to a special state.

Further, in the non-internal manner, in the game within a predetermined period, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, so that the medal payout rate per game during the period can be increased. While exceeding 100%, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, so that the medal payout rate per game during the period does not exceed 100%. There is. Inside the non-internal, the medal payout rate per game does not exceed 100% because the operation mode that is advantageous to the player is not notified.

Inside, the winning of the special role (BB) has been carried over. It starts when a special role (BB) is won in an internal lottery in the non-internal.

Inside, in a game within a predetermined period, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, so that the medal payout rate per game during the period is 100%. On the other hand, since the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player, the medal payout rate per game during the period does not exceed 100%. During the period when the operation mode that is advantageous to the player is notified, the payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%, while during the period when the operation mode that is advantageous to the player is not notified, the medal per game The payout rate does not exceed 100%.

The special state is a gaming state controlled by winning a special role (BB), which is started when the special role (BB) wins a prize in a non-internal manner, and a predetermined end condition is satisfied (for example, during the special state). The total number of medals to be paid out exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 50). After the end of the special state, it will be transferred to non-internal.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a special combination (BB) is won with a predetermined probability (for example, about 1 / 3.4) in the non-internal, and the special combination (BB) is transferred to the internal, and the internal, that is, In the state where the winning flag of the special role (BB) is carried over, if it is not controlled by the AT described later, the medal payout rate per game does not exceed 100%, but it is controlled by the AT. In this case, the payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%.

In addition, in the reel stop control, when a special combination and a small combination are won at the same time, the control is performed so that the small combination is prioritized and aligned, and all that are subject to the internal lottery inside. In the small role of, the drawing range of the special role (BB) constituent symbol and the drawing range of the small winning constituent symbol overlap, and the winning small winning composition symbol is the winning line regardless of which small winning combination is won. It will stop at LN. In addition, when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, the control is performed so that the re-game combination is always aligned. That is, if a small role or a re-game combination is won inside, the special combination (BB) is not won.

In addition, since one of the small roles or one of the replay roles is always won inside the inside, the special role (BB) will not win once it is transferred to the inside, and it will be inside. After the transition, the inside will be maintained.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, since most of the games are controlled internally, it is assumed that the slot machine 1 is controlled internally, and the set value (1 to 1 in this embodiment). Whether or not to control the AT internally so that the medal payout rate according to 6) becomes the value determined according to each set value, specifically, the winning probability of the internal lottery described later, AT By setting the transition probability to the state and the like, the medal payout rate according to the set value is set.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls the AT to notify the operation mode (correct answer pressing order) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is more advantageous for navigation notification in the inside where the winning of the special combination (BB) is carried over. It is possible to do so, and it is designed so that the medal payout rate is appropriate in the inside.

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the game section to either a normal section or an advantageous section.

The normal section is a game section in which navigation notification is not performed, and is started when the next game is started after the advantageous section is completed. After that, the normal section ends in the game in which the advantageous section transition combination is won by the internal lottery in the game in the normal game state. In the normal section, the section display LED 19 is always controlled to be turned off.

The advantageous section is a game section in which the navigation notification may be performed, and is a game section that is advantageous to the player as compared with the normal section because the navigation notification can be executed. The advantageous section is determined to be transferred to the advantageous section by winning the advantageous section transition combination in the internal lottery in the game of the normal section, and is started when the next game is started. After that, the end condition of the advantageous section (end conditions 1 to 3 described later) is satisfied. By turning on the section display LED 19 at the start of the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 can recognize that the section is in the advantageous section. After that, the main control unit 41 turns off the section display LED 19 when the advantageous section ends, and ends the section display.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 turns on the section display LED 19 at the start of the game in which the advantageous section starts, thereby starting the notification that the advantageous section is controlled, which is advantageous. After the start of the section, the medal payout rate (payout number / bet number) can exceed 100% by first performing the navigation notification. At the start of the game, the section display LED 19 is turned on to control the section to an advantageous section. It may be configured to start the notification to that effect.

In the advantageous section, it is possible to perform navigation notification when a predetermined notification condition is satisfied, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, is notified by performing navigation notification. ..

The end condition 1 of the advantageous section is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of games in the advantageous section) reaches the first specified number (1500 games in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of games. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase / decrease in the number of medals changes from the decreasing tendency to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) set as the upper limit. Condition 2, the end condition 3 that is satisfied when a predetermined arbitrary condition (in this embodiment, the end of the AT state and the transition to the setting change state) is satisfied is included, and at least one of the end conditions 1 to 3 is included. The advantageous section ends when one condition is satisfied.

In this embodiment, when the game section is controlled to the normal section, the game section is shifted to the advantageous section by winning a predetermined advantageous section transition combination, but the game section is When the normal section is controlled, the winning combination of the advantageous section transition lottery is won in the internal lottery to perform the advantageous section transition lottery, and by winning in the advantageous section transition lottery, the game section is selected as the advantageous section. It may be configured to shift to.

As will be described later, rare replay, rare small role A, rare small role B, rare small role C, rare small role D, rare small role E, push order role, and BB are defined as advantageous section transition roles. The combined probability of is about 1 / 1.3, and the average number of games staying in the normal section is about 1.3 games. On the other hand, the advantageous section is advantageous because it does not end until the number of games in the advantageous section reaches 1500 games by winning the AT state, the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section exceeds 2400, or the AT state ends. The average number of games staying in the section is at least 1.3 games or more, which is larger than the average number of games staying in the normal section.

[About the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, in the inside where the medal payout rate is appropriate, the normal replay and the rare replay are subject to the internal lottery as the replay role, and the rare small role A and the rare as the small role. Small role B, rare small role C, rare small role D, rare small role E, and 24 types of push order roles are subject to the internal lottery. In the internal lottery, the winning probability of normal replay is about 1 / 7.4, the winning probability of rare replay is about 1/500, the winning probability of rare small role A is about 1/500, and the winning probability of rare small role B is about 1/500. 1/200, the winning probability of the rare small role C is about 1/300, the winning probability of the rare small role D is about 1/50, the winning probability of the rare small role E is about 1/80, and the winning probability of the push order role is It is set to about 1 / 1.4.

The push order combination is a combination in which a plurality of small combinations (main small combination and sub-small combination in this embodiment) are elected, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order corresponding to each push order combination. Regardless of the stop operation timing, the main and small winning combination with the payout of 9 medals wins, while the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the corresponding stop operation order, so that one piece is performed according to the stop operation timing. It is a navigation target role that either the deputy small role with the payout of the medal is won or the deputy small role is not won. That is, the expected value of the number of medals given changes depending on the difference in the stop operation order, and the expected value of the number of medals given changes by navigating the stop operation order corresponding to each push order combination. It's a small role.

In addition, the roles that are subject to the internal lottery are normal replay, rare replay, rare small role A, rare small role B, rare small role C, rare small role D, rare small role E, and push order role, respectively. Winning numbers 1 to 31 are assigned, and the winning numbers of the winning combinations in the internal lottery are set in the RAM 41c. As the winning number, a value of winning number 2 or less is assigned to a combination that does not shift to the advantageous section described later, and a value of winning number 3 or more is assigned to the winning section transitioning combination that shifts to the advantageous section. Assigned. Therefore, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning number is 3 or more, instead of specifying each winning number, regarding whether or not the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, and wins. When the number is 3 or more, it is specified that the winning combination of the advantageous section transition combination is won.

Further, a flag category (FC) is assigned to the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the flag category (FC) of the winning combination in the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. In the flag category (FC), a common value is assigned to a combination having a common attribute, such as a plurality of types of push order combinations and a plurality of combinations having close winning probabilities. Therefore, the main control unit 41 specifies the probability according to the winning combination from each winning number when specifying the probability according to the winning combination when performing the AT lottery, the navigation stock lottery, etc. described later. Instead, the probability according to the winning combination is specified according to the value of the flag category (FC) assigned to the winning combination. As a result, it is not necessary to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each flag category (FC) that is smaller than the winning number, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the winning combination. ..

[About navigation notification and navigation production]
A mode of navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41 and a mode of navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

The main control unit 41 has won the navigation by internal lottery during a predetermined game (from the time when the rotation of the reels is started to the time when the rotation of all the reels is stopped) for performing the processing related to the navigation notification. By displaying the navigation display corresponding to the target combination on the game auxiliary display 12, it is possible to perform the navigation notification that notifies the player of the advantageous stop mode according to the navigation target combination. Further, the main control unit 41 may transmit a command including a navigation number capable of specifying a stop mode advantageous to the player to the sub control unit 91 at the start of a predetermined game for performing processing related to the navigation notification. It is possible.

On the other hand, in the game in which the stop mode advantageous to the player can be specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 displays the liquid crystal display 51 or the like as a navigation effect for notifying the stop mode. It can be done using.

The main control unit 41 suggests that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the left middle right stop operation during the game in which "1" is set as the navigation number by performing the processing related to the navigation notification. During the game in which display 1 (display of displaying "12" on the game assistance display 12) is displayed on the game assistance display 12 and "2" is set as the navigation number, a stop mode advantageous for the player is provided. During the game, the navigation display 2 (display that displays "13" on the game assistance display 12) indicating that the operation is a left / right middle stop operation is displayed on the game assistance display 12, and "3" is set as the navigation number. In the above, the navigation display 3 (display of "21" displayed on the game assistance display 12) suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the middle / left / right stop operation is displayed on the game assistance display 12 to display the navigation. During the game in which "4" is set as the number, the navigation display 4 (display displaying "23" on the game auxiliary display 12) suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the middle right / left stop operation). Is displayed on the game assistance display 12, and during the game in which "5" is set as the navigation number, the navigation display 5 (game assistance display) suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the right / left middle stop operation. In the game in which "31" is displayed on the device 12) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 and "6" is set as the navigation number, the stop mode advantageous to the player is the right middle left stop operation. The navigation display 6 (display that displays "32" on the game assistance display 12) suggesting that there is is displayed on the game assistance display 12.

On the other hand, in the game in which the navigation number "1" is specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has a stop mode advantageous to the player in the left middle right stop operation. Navi image 1 suggesting that there is (for example, "1" is displayed in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8L in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and "2" is displayed in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8C. In a game in which the liquid crystal display 51 displays "3" in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8R) and the navigation number "2" is specified, the stop mode is advantageous for the player. In a game in which a navigation image 2 suggesting that is a left / right middle stop operation is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the navigation number “3” is specified, a stop mode that is advantageous for the player is the middle / left / right stop operation. A navigation image 3 suggesting that there is a navigation image 3 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and during a game in which the navigation number "4" is specified, a navigation suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the middle right / left stop operation. In the game in which the image 4 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the navigation number "5" is specified, the navigation image 5 suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the right / left middle stop operation is displayed on the liquid crystal display. During the game in which the navigation number "6" is specified, the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed to display the navigation image 6 suggesting that the stop mode advantageous to the player is the right middle left stop operation. It has become.

In the present embodiment, the navigation notification is configured to notify the operation order (correct answer pressing order) as the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player, but the player is notified by the navigation notification. The configuration may suggest the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player, or may be the configuration which suggests the combination of the operation order and the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which are advantageous for the player. For example, when the operation mode of the stop switch which is advantageous for the player is a predetermined operation timing for a predetermined reel, the game auxiliary display 12 sets a symbol number or the like corresponding to the predetermined operation timing on the predetermined reel. It is possible to suggest the operation mode by displaying it together with the corresponding number or the like, or by displaying the image or the like of the symbol corresponding to the predetermined operation timing on the liquid crystal display 51 at the position corresponding to the predetermined reel. is there.

[About the flow of AT status]
Next, the control related to the AT state performed by the main control unit 41 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7A, in the non-AT state which is not controlled by the AT state, the AT lottery target combination (in this embodiment, the combination whose flag categories belong to 1 to 5) is won in the main control unit 41. The AT state is controlled when the number of games after winning the AT lottery or shifting to the advantageous section reaches the ceiling value (1000 in this embodiment). The AT lottery may be performed when the point value accumulated after the transition to the non-AT state reaches the specified value, and the number of games after the transition to the advantageous section reaches the temporary ceiling value. It may be the configuration performed in.

The main control unit 41 can control a plurality of states including an AT1 state, an AT2 state, an additional state, and an ED state in the AT state.

When the main control unit 41 shifts to the AT state, it first controls the AT1 state as shown in FIG. 7A. In the AT1 state, as shown in FIG. 7B, the navigation notification is performed with a 100% probability when the push order combination is won, and the medal payout rate per game is slightly different depending on the set value. Is about 232%, and the average net increase in the number of cards per game is about 4.0. Further, in the AT1 state, when a specific combination (a combination whose flag category belongs to 1 to 5) is won, a navigation stock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant the navigation stock, which is the right to control the AT1 state. The winning probability of the navigation stock in the AT1 state is set to a low probability (about 1/5 to about 1/40 in this embodiment). The AT1 state ends when 10 times are set as the remaining number of times of navigation notification at the start and the remaining number of times of navigation notification becomes 0, that is, 10 times of navigation notification is performed in the AT1 state.

When the AT1 state ends, the main control unit 41 controls the AT2 state as shown in FIG. 7A. In the AT2 state, as shown in FIG. 7B, the navigation notification is performed with a probability of 50% when the push order combination is won, and the medal payout rate per game is slightly different depending on the set value. Is about 125%, and the average net increase in the number of cards per game is about 0.8. Also, even in the AT2 state, a navigation stock lottery is held when a specific role is won. The winning probability of the navigation stock in the AT2 state is also set to a low probability (about 1/5 to about 1/40 in this embodiment). The AT2 state ends when 30 is set as the number of remaining games at the start and the number of remaining games becomes 0, that is, 30 games have elapsed after the start of the AT2 state. The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the navigation stock remains at the end of AT2, and if the navigation stock remains, controls the AT1 state again. On the other hand, when the navigation stock does not remain, the AT state is terminated and the state is shifted to the non-AT state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the main control unit 41 wins the additional state lottery in the AT2 state, the AT2 state is interrupted and controlled to the additional state. In the additional state, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the navigation notification is performed with a probability of 50% when the push order combination is won, and the medal payout rate per game is slightly different depending on the set value. Is about 125%, and the average net increase in the number of cards per game is about 0.8. In addition, in the additional state, a navigation stock lottery is performed in all games. The winning probability of the navigation stock in the additional state is set to be higher than that in the second AT state (in this embodiment, about 1/5 except when the specific winning combination is won, and 1/1 when the specific winning combination is won). In the added state, the number of games of either 10 games or 20 games is set as the number of remaining games at the start, and the number of remaining games becomes 0, that is, 10 games or 20 games elapse after the start of the added state. It ends with. When the addition state ends, the main control unit 41 returns to the suspended AT2 state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control unit 41 is in the ED state by satisfying the ED transition condition regardless of which of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state is controlled. To control. At this time, the main control unit 41 controls the ED state from the next game of the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied, and at the timing when the start operation of the game to start the ED state is performed, a predetermined time (2 in this embodiment). It controls the ED freeze state that delays the progress of the game (start of rotation of the reel) for (seconds). In the ED state, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the navigation notification is performed with a probability of 75% when the push order combination is won, and the medal payout rate per game is slightly different depending on the set value. Is about 178%, and the average net increase in the number of cards per game is about 2.4. In the ED state, the navigation stock lottery is not performed. In the ED state, the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of games in the advantageous section) reaches the first specified number (1500 games in this embodiment) and the end condition 1 of the advantageous section is satisfied, or the net increase of medals in the advantageous section. When the number of sheets exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) and the end condition 2 of the advantageous section is satisfied, the game ends together with the advantageous section.

The end condition 1 of the advantageous section is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the first specified number, but it is also satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section exceeds the first specified number. good. Further, the end condition 2 of the advantageous section is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number, but the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number. It may be the one that holds.

The ED transition condition is that the net increase in medals after the increase / decrease in the number of medals changes from the decreasing tendency to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section, that is, the net increase in medals after being controlled to the AT state is the third specified number (this). In the embodiment, the first ED transition condition satisfied when the number exceeds 2250) and the fourth specified number (in this embodiment, the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state is smaller than the third specified number). The second ED transition condition that is satisfied when the number exceeds 1700) and the remaining number of navigation stocks is a predetermined number (9 in this embodiment) and the number of games since the start of the advantageous section (number of ED transition games). ) Reaches the fifth specified number (1420 in this embodiment), and includes the third ED transition condition. In this embodiment, the specified number of bets that can start the game cannot be selected, but the specified number of bets that can start the game can be selected from a plurality of specified numbers, for example, as a specified number. When the player can select the bet number 2 or the bet number 3, the number of games played with the bet number 3 out of the bet number 2 or the bet number 3 in the advantageous section is the fifth specified number (this). In the embodiment, the configuration may be such that the third ED transition condition is satisfied by reaching 1420).

In any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, if the main and small winning combination of the pushing order is won by performing the stop operation in the stop order notified in the game in which the navigation notification is performed, the AT state. When the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled is increased, the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied, and the ED state may be entered.

In addition, in the AT2 state or the additional state, the navigation notification is not performed at a rate of 50% when the push order role, which can increase the net increase in the number of medals, is won, but even in a game in which the navigation notification is not performed, it is self-help. When the main and small winning combination of the pushing order is won, the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied by increasing the net increase number of medals after being controlled to the AT state, and the transition to the ED state is established. I have something to do.

In addition, in any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, if a small winning combination that is not subject to navigation notification and is accompanied by a payout exceeding the bet number is won, it is controlled to the AT state. As the net increase in the number of medals is increased, the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied, and the ED state may be entered.

In addition, in any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, if the navigation stock is won in the game in which the specific combination subject to the navigation stock lottery is won, the remaining number of navigation stocks is equal to or more than the predetermined number. As a result, the second ED transition condition is satisfied, and the transition to the ED state may occur.

Further, in any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the third ED transition condition is satisfied by increasing the number of games after the advantageous section starts, and the ED state may be shifted.

The first ED transition condition is satisfied when the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state exceeds the third specified number, but the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state is the first. 3 It may be established when the number exceeds the specified number. The second ED transition condition requires that the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, but the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state is It may be a requirement that the number exceeds the fourth specified number. Further, the second ED transition condition requires that the remaining number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number, but it may also require that the remaining number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number. The third ED transition condition is satisfied when the number of ED transition games reaches the fifth specified number, but it may be satisfied when the number of ED transition games exceeds the fifth specified number.

In one AT1 state, it takes an average of 14.0 games until the end, that is, until the navigation notification is performed 10 times, and the average net increase in the number of games per game is about 4.0. Therefore, the AT1 state 1 The average net increase in the number of cards per round is about 56. In addition, in one AT2 state, 30 games are required to complete, and the average net increase per game is about 0.8, so the average net increase per AT2 state is about 24. is there. Further, since one Navistock remains, the AT1 state and the AT2 state are controlled once each, so that a net increase of about 80 medals can be expected for each Navistock. If the second ED transition condition is satisfied, the net increase in medals exceeds 1700 at that time, and a net increase of about 720 can be expected by consuming all 9 Navistock. Therefore, the predicted net increase in medals predicted in the future when all the navigation stock is consumed is 2420. Therefore, the second ED transition condition is satisfied when the predicted net increase number exceeds 2250 sheets in which the first ED transition condition is satisfied and exceeds 2400 sheets in which the end condition 2 of the advantageous section is satisfied. It will be.

Further, in this embodiment, in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the medals after being controlled to the AT state at the time of winning the small winning combination A to E with the payout exceeding the bet number and the pushing order winning combination. There is a possibility that the 1st ED transition condition or the 2nd ED transition condition will be satisfied by increasing the net increase number of medals, and when a specific combination (a combination whose flag category belongs to 1 to 5) is won, a navigation stock lottery will be held. As a result, the second ED transition condition may be satisfied, but at the time of normal replay winning, neither the first ED transition condition nor the second ED transition condition may be satisfied. That is, it includes a transferable combination in which the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition can be satisfied, and a non-transferable combination in which neither the first ED transition condition nor the second ED transition condition is satisfied. It should be noted that the sub-control unit 91 has an effect mode when the transferable combination is won and an effect mode when the non-transferable combination is won in the state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. May be controlled so as to be different, and with such a configuration, it is specified whether or not the first ED transition condition or the third ED transition condition can be satisfied in the game from the difference in the production mode. be able to.

As described above, in this embodiment, after the transition to the AT state, the ED transition condition is satisfied to control the ED state. In this embodiment, the ED state is advantageous because the ED transition condition that is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals and the number of navigation stocks after being controlled to the AT state after the transition to the AT state satisfies a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is a state in which the AT state is guaranteed to continue until the end condition of the section is satisfied, that is, until the period in which the AT state can be controlled ends. For this reason, by shifting to the ED state after shifting to the AT state, a certain increase in medals is guaranteed, and the game can be played with peace of mind compared to the state in which the end conditions before shifting to the ED state fluctuate. It can be carried out.

In this embodiment, after the transition to the AT state, the ED transition condition is satisfied, so that the AT state is controlled to the ED state until the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, but at least the AT state. After the transition to, the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is controlled, so that a predetermined profit (the number of games controlled to the AT state, the number of times navigation notification is performed, and the medal that can be increased in the AT state) The configuration is such that the number, etc.) is guaranteed, and the ED state does not necessarily have to continue until the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. After the transition to the ED state, the ED state is before the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. May be configured to end.

Further, in this embodiment, after the transition to the AT state, until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the control can be performed in a plurality of states including the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, while the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is satisfied. After shifting to, it is controlled only to the ED state until the AT state ends, and while the playability can be changed until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the ED transition condition can be changed. After is established, stable playability can be achieved.

In this embodiment, the number of navigations (the number of times navigation notification is performed), which is the end condition of the AT1 state, is fixed at 10 times in the AT1 state, but any number of times may be selected from a plurality of times. By adding the number of navigations when the addition condition is satisfied, the number of navigations, which is the end condition of the AT1 state, may be changed. Further, the AT1 state is configured to end according to the number of navigations, but it may be configured to end when the number of remaining games is set and the number of remaining games becomes 0 as in the AT2 state. Even in such a configuration, the number of remaining games that is the end condition of the AT1 state fluctuates by selecting the number of remaining games that is initially set from a plurality of games or by adding the number of remaining games when the addition condition is satisfied. It may be configured.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of remaining games, which is the end condition of the AT2 state, is fixed at 30 games, but the number of remaining games can be selected from a plurality of games, and the additional condition is satisfied. By adding the number of remaining games in, the number of remaining games, which is the end condition of the AT2 state, may be changed. Further, the AT2 state is configured to end when the number of remaining games becomes 0, but it may be configured to end according to the number of navigations as in the AT1 state. Even in such a configuration, the number of navigations that is the end condition of the AT2 state can be changed by selecting the initially set number of navigations from a plurality of times or by adding the number of navigations when the addition condition is satisfied. good.

Further, in the present embodiment, the additional state is configured such that the number of remaining games that is the end condition of the additional state is selected from either 10 games or 20 games, but the initially set number of remaining games is fixed. It may be configured. Further, the number of remaining games may be added when the addition condition is satisfied. Further, the additional state is configured to end when the number of remaining games becomes 0, but it may be configured to end according to the number of navigations as in the AT1 state. Even in such a configuration, the number of navigations, which is the end condition of the added state, may be changed by selecting the number of navigations initially set from a plurality of times or by adding the number of navigations when the addition condition is satisfied. Further, the additional state is configured to be transferred by winning the additional state in the AT2 state, but may be shifted by winning the additional state in the AT1 state. In addition, the addition state has a configuration in which the navigation stock is easily added because the winning probability of the navigation stock is set higher than other states, but the period controlled by the AT2 state such as the number of remaining games in the AT2 state. May be configured to be more easily added than when is controlled to the AT2 state. Further, if the configuration is such that the AT1 state can be shifted to the additional state, the configuration may be such that the period controlled by the AT1 state, such as the number of navigations in the AT1 state, is easier to be added than when the AT1 state is controlled.

In this embodiment, as a state from the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the AT1 state in which the navigation notification is performed at a rate of 100% when the push order combination is won, and the navigation notification when the push order combination is won. Is a configuration that includes the AT2 state that is performed at a rate of 50%, that is, a configuration that includes a plurality of states that perform navigation notification at a different rate when the push order combination is won, so until the ED transition condition is satisfied.

Can be changed significantly.

Further, in the configuration including the first state in which the navigation notification is performed and the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed as the state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the second state is used. Is likely to reduce the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state, but even in the second state where navigation notification is not performed, in the game where the push order role is won, the push order role is self-help. When the main and small roles of the above are won, the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied by increasing the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state, and the ED state may be transitioned. ..

In addition, even in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed, if a small winning combination with a payout exceeding the bet number is won among the small winning combinations that are not subject to the navigation notification, the small winning combination is controlled to the AT state. As the net increase in the number of medals increases, the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied, and the ED state may be entered.

In addition, even in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed, if the navigation stock is won in the game in which the specific combination subject to the navigation stock lottery is won, the remaining number of navigation stocks is equal to or more than the predetermined number. As a result, the second ED transition condition is satisfied, and the transition to the ED state may occur.

Further, even in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed, the third ED transition condition is satisfied by increasing the number of games after the advantageous section starts, and the ED state may be shifted.

Even in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed in this way, the first ED transition condition, the second ED transition condition, and the third ED transition condition may be satisfied, so that the navigation notification is performed when the push order combination is won. In the configuration including the first state to be called and the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed when the push order combination is won, regardless of whether it is controlled to the first state or the second state. , When the ED transition condition is satisfied, the transition to the ED state is made.

In addition, navigation notification is performed in a configuration including a first state in which navigation notification is performed and a second state in which navigation notification is not performed as a state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. In the first state, in the game in which the navigation notification is performed, the main and small roles of the push order are won, and the ED transition condition is satisfied to shift to the ED state, while in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. May be configured so that the ED transition condition is not satisfied even if the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning the main and small roles of the push order by itself without the navigation notification. With such a configuration, the navigation notification may be performed. It is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which.

Further, as a state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the navigation notification is performed in the configuration including the first state in which the navigation notification is performed and the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. In the first state, among the small winning combinations that are not subject to navigation notification, the small winning combination with a payout exceeding the number of bets wins, and the ED transition condition is satisfied, so that the ED transition state is established, but the navigation notification is not performed. In the second state, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning a small winning combination with a payout exceeding the number of bets among the small winning combinations that are not subject to the navigation notification, the ED transition may not be performed. With such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which the navigation notification is performed.

Further, as a state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the navigation notification is performed in the configuration including the first state in which the navigation notification is performed and the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. In the first state, the ED transition condition is satisfied when the navigation stock is won, and the ED transition condition is established. In the second state, when the navigation notification is not performed, the ED transition condition is satisfied by the winning of the navigation stock. Even if it is established, it may be configured not to shift to the ED state, and with such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which the navigation notification is performed.

In the configuration in which the ED transition condition is not satisfied even if the ED transition condition is satisfied in the second state in which the navigation notification is not performed, the ED transition condition is satisfied when the transition to the first state in which the navigation notification is performed is subsequently performed. If so, it will shift to the ED state.

In addition, as a state after the transition to the AT state and until the ED transition condition is satisfied, a first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order, and a second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. In the first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order, even in the game in which the navigation notification is not performed, the main and small roles of the push order are to be won by themselves. When the ED transition condition is satisfied, the ED transition is made, while in the second state where the navigation notification is not performed, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning the main and small roles of the push order by oneself. The configuration may not shift to the ED state, and with such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order.

In addition, as a state after the transition to the AT state and until the ED transition condition is satisfied, a first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order, and a second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. In the first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order combination, the small combination that is not the target of the navigation notification and the small combination with the payout exceeding the bet number is won. When the ED transition condition is satisfied, the state is shifted to the ED state, while in the second state where the navigation notification is not performed, the small winning combination that is not subject to the navigation notification and is paid out in excess of the bet number is won. Therefore, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied, the configuration may not shift to the ED state, and such a configuration further enhances the interest of the first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order. Can be enhanced.

In addition, as a state after the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, a first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order, and a second state in which the navigation notification is not performed. In the first state in which the navigation notification is performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order, the navigation stock shifts to the ED state when the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning the navigation stock, while the navigation notification is performed. In the second state in which the above is not performed, even if the Navistock is elected and the ED transition condition is satisfied, the configuration may not be performed so that the ED transition is not performed. It is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which navigation notification is performed in some parts.

In addition, in the configuration in which the ED transition condition is satisfied in the second state where the navigation notification is not performed but the ED transition is not performed, the navigation notification is subsequently performed in a part of the winning combination of the push order. In the case of transition, if the ED transition condition is satisfied, the transition will be made to the ED state.

In addition, as a state after the transition to the AT state and until the ED transition condition is satisfied, a state in which the average net increase in the number of sheets per game exceeds 100% due to the navigation notification, that is, the first state in which medals increase, and A configuration including a state in which the average net increase in the number of medals per game is 100% or less due to no navigation notification or a low rate of navigation notification, that is, a second state in which medals do not increase or medals decrease. In the first state where the number of medals increases, the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning the main and small roles of the push order role to be notified of the navigation, and the ED transition state is established, but the medals do not increase or In the second state in which the number of medals decreases, even if the main and small roles of the push order role, which is the target of the navigation notification, win a prize and the ED transition condition is satisfied, the configuration may not shift to the ED state. By doing so, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which medals increase.

In addition, the number of medals increases in a configuration including a first state in which medals increase and a second state in which medals do not increase or medals decrease as states from the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. In the first state, the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning a small winning combination that is not subject to navigation notification and the payout exceeds the bet number, so that the ED transition state is established, but the number of medals does not increase. Or, in the second state where the number of medals decreases, even if the small winning combination that is not subject to the navigation notification and the small winning combination with the payout exceeding the bet number wins and the ED transition condition is satisfied, the ED transition is not performed. Well, with such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the first state in which medals increase.

In addition, the number of medals increases in a configuration including a first state in which medals increase and a second state in which medals do not increase or medals decrease as states from the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. In the first state, the ED transition condition is satisfied by winning the Navistock, and the ED state is entered. In the second state, the medals do not increase or the medals decrease, the Navistock wins and ED. Even if the transition condition is satisfied, the configuration may not shift to the ED state, and such a configuration can further enhance the interest of the first state in which the number of medals increases.

In addition, in the configuration in which the ED transition condition is not satisfied even if the ED transition condition is satisfied in the second state where the number of medals does not increase or the number of medals decreases, the ED transition condition is subsequently obtained when the transition to the first state where the number of medals increases. If is satisfied, the state shifts to the ED state.

In this embodiment, control is performed to extend the period controlled to the AT state by setting the winning probability of the navigation stock to a low probability as a state from the transition to the AT state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. A configuration including a low ratio AT1 state and AT2 state, and a high ratio additional state in which control is performed to extend the period controlled to the AT state by setting the winning probability of the navigation stock to a high setting, that is, Since the configuration includes a plurality of states having different ratios of control for extending the period controlled to the AT state, the period controlled to the AT state should be changed depending on the state until the ED transition condition is satisfied. Can be done.

It should be noted that, after the transition to the AT state, as a state until the ED transition condition is satisfied, the first state that can be controlled to extend the period controlled to the AT state such as the navigation stock lottery and the AT state are controlled. The configuration may include a second state in which control is not performed to extend the period to be performed, and even in such a configuration, the period controlled to the AT state can be changed until the ED transition condition is satisfied. At the same time, the period controlled by the AT state can be significantly changed depending on whether the control is performed in the first state or the second state.

In this embodiment, even if the state is controlled to the AT1 state, the AT2 state, or the additional state after the transition to the AT state, the ED transition condition is satisfied and the control is performed to the ED state. It is not necessary to change the control according to the state at that time, and the process of shifting to the ED state can be simplified.

In this embodiment, the average net increase in medals per game in the ED state is controlled before the ED transition condition is satisfied. The average net increase in medals per game among the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state. Since it is set less than the AT1 state in which a large number is set, it is possible to prevent the gambling from being excessively increased even if the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is shifted after the transition to the AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the ED state, the navigation notification probability (75%) is controlled to be different from the navigation notification probability (100% or 50%) in any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state. Since the average net increase in medals per game in the ED state is different from the average net increase in medals per game in any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, it is adjusted to the characteristics of the ED state. The amount of medal increase can be adjusted appropriately.

In the ED state, the navigation notification probability is controlled to be the same as the navigation notification probability in any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, and the average net increase in the number of medals per game in the ED state is the AT1 state. The configuration may be the same as the average net increase in the number of medals per game in either the AT2 state or the additional state. With such a configuration, control in the ED state and control in the other states can be achieved. Can be shared.

In this embodiment, the minimum number of medals that can be expected to be acquired per AT1 state is about 56, and the minimum number of medals that can be expected to be acquired per AT2 state is about 24, and the additional state 1 The minimum number of medals that can be expected to be won per round is about eight. On the other hand, when the first ED transition condition is satisfied, the number of medals that can be expected to be acquired in the ED state is smaller than when the second ED transition condition is satisfied or the third ED transition condition is satisfied, but even in that case, You can expect to win about 150 medals. In this way, the number of medals that can be expected to be acquired in the ED state after the ED transition condition is satisfied is the minimum in one of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, which is controlled before the ED transition condition is satisfied. Since the number of medals that can be expected to be limited is larger than the number of medals that can be expected, it is possible to enhance the interest by controlling the ED state.

In this embodiment, as an ED transition condition for shifting to the ED state after shifting to the advantageous state, the net increase in the number of medals after the increase / decrease number of medals changes from a decreasing tendency to an increasing tendency in the advantageous section, that is, the said It is predicted that the number of medals will increase in the future according to the first ED transition condition that is established when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number (2250 in this embodiment) and the remaining number of navigation stocks. Since the second ED transition condition that is satisfied based on the predicted net increase number of medals is included, only that the net increase number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number after being controlled to the AT state. Instead, even if the net increase in medals after being controlled to the AT state is less than or equal to the third specified number, the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in medals that is expected to increase in the future is satisfied. Since it may be controlled to the ED state, it can be expected that the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state is controlled to the ED state even in a situation of the third specified number or less.

In this embodiment, the predicted net increase in medals that is expected to increase in the future is specified based on the number of navigation stocks, but the predicted net increase in medals is based on the number of remaining games in the AT state and the remaining number of navigation notifications. The configuration may be such that the number of medals is specified, and if the end condition of the AT state is a configuration in which the net increase in medals is managed, the predicted net increase in medals may be specified by the net increase in medals that can be acquired thereafter. ..

In addition, the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future in this embodiment is the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state and the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future. It is a condition that can be established when the total value of and exceeds the third specified number (2250 in this embodiment) that shifts to the ED state when the actual net increase in the number of medals exceeds, and the AT state. Recognizes that the net increase in medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number by being controlled to the ED state in a situation where the net increase in medals after being controlled by Can be made to.

In addition, the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future in this embodiment is the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state and the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future. It is a condition that can be established when the total value of and exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) at which the advantageous section ends when the actual net increase in the number of medals exceeds, and the AT state. By controlling the net increase in medals after being controlled to the ED state in a situation where the net increase in medals is less than or equal to the third specified number, the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state becomes the end condition of the advantageous section. It is possible to recognize that the specified number is exceeded.

In this embodiment, after the transition to the AT state, the advantageous section is used regardless of whether the first ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is satisfied, or the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established. The ED state continues until the end conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied, but the ED state may be terminated after the transition to the ED state and before the end conditions 1 and 2 of the advantageous section are satisfied.

In addition, the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future in this embodiment is the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state and the predicted net increase in the number of medals expected to increase in the future. After the total value of and exceeds the third specified number (2250 in this embodiment) in which the ED transition condition is satisfied when the actual net increase in the number of medals exceeds, and the AT state is controlled. It is a condition that can be satisfied when the net increase in medals exceeds the 4th specified number (1700 in this embodiment), which is less than the 3rd specified number, and the net increase in medals and future increase after being controlled to the AT state. Even if the total value with the predicted net increase in medals exceeds the third specified number, until the net increase in medals after being controlled in the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the third specified number. Is not controlled to the ED state, so that it can be prevented from being controlled to the ED state at an early stage after being controlled to the AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the first ED transition condition is satisfied and the control is performed in the ED state, the main control unit 41 does not determine whether or not the second ED transition condition is satisfied until the AT state ends. , When the second ED transition condition is satisfied and controlled to the ED state, it is not determined whether or not the first ED transition condition is satisfied until the AT state ends, and the first ED transition condition or After one of the second ED transition conditions is satisfied and controlled to the ED state, it is not determined whether or not the other of the first ED transition condition or the second ED transition condition is satisfied, so that after being controlled to the ED state. Control can be simplified.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the non-AT state and the AT state after shifting to the advantageous section, and in the AT state, the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the addition are added before the transition to the ED state. It is a configuration that can be controlled to a state, but regardless of which state is controlled, it is determined whether or not the ED transition condition is satisfied for each game, depending on the current state. Since it is not necessary to change the control, the control for shifting to the ED state can be simplified.

It should be noted that, until the transition to the AT state, it is not determined whether or not the ED transition condition is satisfied, and after the transition to the AT state, before the transition to the ED state, any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state is performed. Even if it is controlled to the state, it may be configured to determine whether or not the ED transition condition is satisfied for each game, and even with such a configuration, after the transition to the AT state, the current state is used. Since it is not necessary to change the control according to the ED state, the control for shifting to the ED state can be simplified.

[About the production during the AT state]
Next, the production in the AT state will be described. At the end of the game, the main control unit 41 transmits a state command capable of identifying the state of the next game to the sub control unit 91. The state command can specify whether the state of the next game is a non-AT state or an AT state, and if it is an AT state, it is an AT1 state, an AT2 state, or an addition. It is possible to specify whether it is in a state or an ED state. Further, in the AT1 state, the remaining number of navigations can be specified, and in the AT2 state and the additional state, the remaining number of games can be specified.

Then, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an effect peculiar to the AT state according to the state specified from the state command. The effect peculiar to the AT state includes an image display mode by the liquid crystal display 51, sound effects from the speakers 53 and 54, and a light emission mode of the effect LED 57, but here, the liquid crystal display 51 is mainly used. The production using the above will be described.

When the sub-control unit 91 receives a state command for specifying the AT state in a situation where the non-AT state is specified, that is, when the start of the AT state is specified, the bet number for the next game is set. At the timing, as shown in FIG. 8A, the AT state start effect indicating the start of the AT state is executed. In the AT state start effect, the AT start image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

At the start of the AT state, the AT1 state is first controlled. Therefore, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command while executing the AT start effect and specifies the game start operation, , As shown in FIG. 8B, the AT1 state effect peculiar to the AT1 state is executed. In the AT1 state production, the AT1 state image peculiar to the AT1 state, the remaining number of navigation notifications, the number of games after the transition to the AT state, and the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Will be done. The net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state is displayed on the upper right side of the liquid crystal display 51 so as not to interfere with the main effect image displayed in the center of the liquid crystal display 51.

In addition, the main control unit 41 transmits a command for the number of inserted medals that can specify the number of medals used as the number of bets in the game at the start of the game, and pays out that can specify the number of medals granted in the game at the end of the game. Send the number command. Then, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the insertion number command at the start of the game while the net increase number of medals is displayed, the display of the net increase number of medals is subtracted and updated by the number of medals specified from the insertion number command. , When the payout number command is received at the end of the game, the display of the net increase number of medals is subtracted and updated by the number of medals specified from the payout number command. That is, the display of the net increase in the number of medals is updated to the latest number in each game.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command when the AT2 state is specified in the situation where the AT1 state is specified, that is, when the start of the AT2 state is specified, and the game When the start operation is specified, as shown in FIG. 8C, the AT2 state effect peculiar to the AT2 state is executed. In the AT2 state effect, the image is different from the AT1 state image, the AT2 state image peculiar to the AT2 state, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state are displayed, and after the transition to the AT state as in the AT1 state effect. The number of games, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command when the AT1 state is specified in the situation where the AT2 state is specified, that is, when the start of the AT1 state is specified, and the game When the start operation is specified, the AT1 state effect is executed again as shown in FIG. 8B.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning command when the sub-control unit 91 receives the state command for specifying the additional state in the situation where the AT2 state is specified, that is, when the start of the additional state is specified, and the game When the start operation is specified, as shown in FIG. 8D, the additional state effect peculiar to the additional state is executed. In the additional state effect, the images are different from the AT1 state image and the AT2 state image, and the additional state image peculiar to the additional state and the number of remaining games in the additional state are displayed, and the same as the AT1 state effect and the AT2 state effect. , The number of games after the transition to the AT state, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (h), the sub-control unit 91 receives a state command in which the non-AT state is specified in the situation where the AT2 state is specified, that is, when the end of the AT state is specified. In addition, the result notification effect is executed. In the result notification effect, the number of games after the transition to the AT state, the net increase in the number of medals in the AT state, a message urging the prevention of entanglement, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The result notification effect may end at the timing when the bet number of the next game is set, may end at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed, continues until the next game ends, and further. The configuration may be such that the game ends at the timing when the bet number of the next game is set or when the game start operation is performed.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives a state command for specifying the ED state in a situation where any one of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state is specified, that is, when the start of the ED state is specified. When the internal winning command is received and the game start operation is specified, as shown in FIG. 8E, the ED start effect indicating the start of the ED state is executed. As described above, the main control unit 41 delays the progress of the game for a predetermined time (2 seconds in this embodiment) at the time of the start operation of the next game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied, that is, the game for starting the ED state. The ED freeze state is controlled so that the ED start effect is executed during the period controlled by the ED freeze state. In the ED start effect, the ED start image is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the sub-control unit 91 enables the navigation effect to be executed when the push order combination is won as described later, and the specific combination winning suggestion effect when the specific combination is won. Although (A) and (B) are configured to be executable, in a game in which the ED state is started, when the push order combination is won and the navigation effect is executed, or when the specific combination is elected and the specific role is elected suggestion effect. Also when executing (A), the ED start effect is prioritized and executed, and after the end of the ED start effect, the navigation effect and the specific combination winning suggestion effect (A) are executed.

Further, in the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the effect suggesting that the ED transition condition is satisfied, but the navigation effect and the specific combination described later. Winning suggestion effects (A) and (B), small role winning effects, chance effects, and other effects according to the results of the internal lottery of the game and the results of the game are executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8 (f) and 8 (g), the sub-control unit 91 is in an ED state peculiar to the ED state when a predetermined time elapses after the start of the ED start effect, that is, at the timing when the ED freeze state ends. Perform the production. The ED state production includes a story introduction production (see FIG. 8 (f)) in which a story and characters related to the production performed in the slot machine 1 are introduced, and a loop production in which the production is repeatedly executed for a certain period of time (FIG. 8). (See (g)) and. It should be noted that the effect over a certain period of time corresponds to an effect of reproducing an image such as an animation over a certain period of time.

Further, if the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state at the time when the ED transition condition is satisfied is less than the third specified number (2250 in this embodiment), the sub control unit 91 produces the ED state. As a result, if the net increase in the number of medals after shifting to the AT state when the ED transition condition is satisfied by executing the loop effect after executing the story introduction effect is equal to or greater than the third specified number, the ED state effect is used. , Execute only the loop effect without executing the story introduction effect. In addition, when executing the story introduction effect and the loop effect as the ED state effect, the number of medals that can be obtained by the time the maximum number of medals is reached after the loop effect is executed first becomes less than a certain number, so that the story It may be configured to execute an introduction effect.

In the story introduction effect, the images are different from the AT1 state image, the AT2 state image, and the additional state image, and the story introduction effect image peculiar to the story introduction effect, the number of remaining games until the ED state ends, and the maximum number of ED states. The number of medals that can be obtained by the time the game is reached is displayed, and the number of games after the transition to the AT state and the number of games after the transition to the AT state are the same as for the AT1 state production, AT2 state production, and additional state production. The net increase in the number of medals and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The number of games remaining until the end of the ED state and the number of medals that can be obtained by reaching the upper limit in the ED state are displayed below the liquid crystal display 51 and displayed in the center of the liquid crystal display 51. It is designed not to disturb the image of.

In the loop effect, the AT1 state image, the AT2 state image, the additional state image, and the story introduction effect are different images, and the loop effect image peculiar to the loop effect is displayed, and the ED state is displayed as in the story introduction effect. The number of remaining games until the end and the number of medals that can be obtained before reaching the upper limit in the ED state are displayed, and as with the AT1 state effect, AT2 state effect, and additional state effect, after shifting to the AT state. The number of games, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (h), the sub-control unit 91 receives a state command in which the non-AT state is specified in the situation where the ED state is specified, that is, when the end of the AT state is specified. In addition, the result notification effect is executed. Whether the AT state ends in the AT2 state or the ED state, the common result notification effect is executed, but it depends on whether the AT state ends in the AT2 state or the ED state. The result notification effect of a different aspect may be executed.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes a common ED start effect when the start of the ED state is specified regardless of any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state. In the subsequent ED state, a common ED state effect is executed, and at the end of the ED state, a common result notification effect is executed.

Further, after shifting to the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the ED state by satisfying the first ED transition condition that is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number. In either case, even when the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in the number of medals whose increase is expected in the future is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established, when the start of the ED state is specified, a common ED start effect is produced. Is executed, and in the subsequent ED state, a common ED state effect is executed, and at the end of the ED state, a common result notification effect is executed.

Further, after the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the AT state, the net increase number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the third specified number, and then the number of navigation stocks is equal to or more than the predetermined number. Even when the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state, the number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number, and the number of medals is controlled to the AT state is the second. Even when the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is performed when the number exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the three specified number, a common ED start effect is executed when the start of the ED state is specified. In the subsequent ED state, a common ED state effect is executed, and at the end of the ED state, a common result notification effect is executed.

In the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a navigation effect, a specific combination winning suggestion effect (A), a specific combination winning suggestion effect (B), a small combination winning effect, and a chance effect.

As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the navigation effect superimposes an image showing the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R on a part of the displayed effect image when the game is started. By displaying the image on the liquid crystal display 51, it is an effect suggesting an advantageous push order for the player, and is executed when the push order combination is won or when a part of the re-game combination is won.

As shown in FIGS. 9 (c) and 9 (d), the specific role winning suggestion effect (A) superimposes an image showing the winning of the specific role on a part of the displayed effect image when the game start operation is performed. By displaying it on the liquid crystal display 51, it is suggested that a specific combination (a combination whose flag category belongs to 1 to 5) that suggests the possibility of adding Navistock or shifting to the added state has been won. It is a production to be performed, and is executed when a specific role is won.

In the specific combination winning suggestion effect (B), as shown in FIGS. 9 (e) and 9 (f), when the game is started, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is different from the effect image. By switching to a specific image showing the winning of a specific role, in addition to suggesting that the specific role has been won, there is a possibility that Navistock will be added or added to the specific role winning suggestion effect (A). It is a production that suggests that there is a high possibility of shifting to the state, and is executed when a specific role is won.

As shown in FIG. 9 (g), the small role winning effect is performed by superimposing an image in the shape of the characters "GET!" On a part of the displayed effect image and displaying it on the liquid crystal display 51 in the order of pressing. It is a production that suggests that the main and small roles of the role have won, and is executed when the push order role is won, the stop operation is performed in the push order specified by the navigation effect, and the main and small roles of the push order role win. Will be done.

As shown in FIG. 9H, the chance effect is added by Navistock by superimposing an image in the shape of the characters "CHANGE!" On a part of the displayed effect image and displaying it on the liquid crystal display 51. It is an effect that suggests that there is a high possibility that the game will be played or that the game will shift to the additional state, and is executed at the end of the game in which the specific role is won.

As shown in FIG. 10, the sub-control unit 91 enables the navigation effect to be executed when the push order combination is won in any of the AT1 state, AT2 state, additional state, and ED state constituting the AT state.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the specific combination winning suggestion effect (A) at the time of winning the specific combination in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state among the states constituting the AT state, regardless of the type. On the other hand, in the ED state, if a winning combination that cannot be won unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing is won (in the case of a key point), the specific combination winning suggestion effect (A) However, if the special winning combination is won regardless of the timing of the stop operation (when it is not necessary to press the button), the specific winning combination suggestion effect (A) is not executed.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the specific combination winning suggestion effect (B) at the time of winning the specific combination in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state among the states constituting the AT state, regardless of the type. On the other hand, in the ED state, the specific combination winning suggestion effect (B) is not executed regardless of the type when the specific combination is elected.

Further, in the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state constituting the AT state, the sub control unit 91 is stopped in the push order specified by the navigation effect when the push order combination is won, and the main push order combination is performed. By winning a small role, the small role winning effect can be executed, while in the ED state, when the push order role is won, the stop operation is performed in the push order specified by the navigation effect, and the main push order role is played. The small role winning effect is not executed regardless of whether or not the small role has won.

Further, in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state among the states constituting the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 enables the chance effect to be executed regardless of the type when the specific combination is won, while in the ED state. Does not perform chance production regardless of the type when a specific role is won.

The sub-control unit 91 selects one of a plurality of types of patterns as the ED state effect, and executes the ED state effect in a mode corresponding to the selected pattern.

As shown in FIG. 11, the pattern of the ED state effect is composed of four types of patterns A, B, C, and D, and at least a part of the elements constituting the ED state effect such as the background of the effect image and the characters appearing is. different.

The sub-control unit 91 selects one of the patterns A, B, C, and D with a probability according to the currently set set value, and which pattern of the ED state effect is executed. Will suggest the currently set value.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, pattern A is selected regardless of whether the set value is an odd number setting, an even number setting, or a high setting (setting value 4 or more). There is a possibility that it will be selected with almost the same probability regardless of whether it is an odd number setting or an even number setting, and even if it is a high setting or a low setting (setting value 3 or less). Since the selections are made with almost the same probability, when the pattern A is executed, it is highly likely that the setting is an odd number and the setting is likely to be an even number. It is also not suggested that it is likely.

Pattern B may be selected regardless of whether the set value is an odd number setting, an even number setting, or a high setting (setting value 4 or more), and in the case of an odd number setting. In addition, pattern B is executed because it is selected with a higher probability than when it is an even number setting, and it is selected with almost the same probability whether it is a high setting or a low setting. In this case, it is suggested that the setting is likely to be an odd number, but it is not suggested that the setting is likely to be high.

Pattern C may be selected regardless of whether the set value is an odd number setting, an even number setting, or a high setting (setting value 4 or more), and in the case of an even number setting. In addition, pattern C is executed because it is selected with a higher probability than when it is an odd number setting, but it is selected with almost the same probability whether it is a high setting or a low setting. In this case, it is suggested that the setting is likely to be an even number, but it is not suggested that the setting is likely to be high.

Pattern D may be selected regardless of whether the set value is an odd number setting, an even number setting, or a high setting (setting value 4 or more), and when the setting value is high. In addition, while the selection is made with a higher probability than the case of the low setting, the pattern D is executed because the selection is made with almost the same probability regardless of whether the setting is an odd number or an even number. In this case, it is suggested that the setting is likely to be high, but it is not suggested that the setting is likely to be odd or even.

As described above, in this embodiment, after shifting to the AT state, the ED transition condition is satisfied to shift to the ED state, and when shifting to the ED state, the ED start effect is executed, and the AT1 state and the AT2 state are executed. Even when the ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is made in the situation where any of the additional states is specified, the common ED start effect is executed when the start of the ED state is specified. , It is possible to easily recognize that the ED state has been controlled.

In addition, it will increase in the future even when the first ED transition condition, which is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number after the transition to the AT state, is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established. Even when the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase in the number of medals predicted is satisfied and the ED state is entered, the common ED start effect is executed when the start of the ED state is specified. It is possible to easily recognize that the ED state has been controlled.

In addition, after shifting to the AT state, after the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the third specified number, the navigation stock becomes the predetermined number or more, and the second ED transition condition. Even when the above is established and the state shifts to the ED state, the net increase in the number of medals after the number of medals is controlled to the AT state after the number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number after the transition to the AT state is less than the third specified number. Even when the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state exceeds the fourth specified number, the common ED start effect is executed when the start of the ED state is specified, so that the ED state is controlled. You can easily recognize what was done.

Further, in the ED state, the ED state effect is executed, and when the ED transition condition is satisfied in the situation where any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state is specified, the ED state is shifted to the ED state. Since the common ED state effect is executed in the state, it is possible to easily recognize that the ED state is controlled.

In addition, it will increase in the future even when the first ED transition condition, which is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number after the transition to the AT state, is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established. Even when the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase number of medals is satisfied and the ED state is entered, the common ED state effect is executed in the ED state, so that the ED state is controlled. Can be recognized in an easy-to-understand manner.

In addition, after shifting to the AT state, after the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the third specified number, the navigation stock becomes the predetermined number or more, and the second ED transition condition. Even when the above is established and the state shifts to the ED state, the net increase in the number of medals after the number of medals is controlled to the AT state after the number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number after the transition to the AT state is less than the third specified number. Even when the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is performed when the number exceeds the fourth specified number, the common ED state effect is executed in the ED state, so that it is easy to recognize that the ED state is controlled. Can be made to.

Further, when the result notification effect is executed at the end of the ED state and the ED transition condition is satisfied in the situation where any of the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state is specified, the ED shifts to the ED state. Since the common result notification effect is executed at the end of the state, it is possible to easily recognize that the ED state has ended.

In addition, it will increase in the future even when the first ED transition condition, which is satisfied when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the third specified number after the transition to the AT state, is satisfied and the transition to the ED state is established. Even when the second ED transition condition based on the predicted net increase number of medals is satisfied and the ED state is entered, the common result notification effect is executed at the end of the ED state, so that the ED state has ended. Can be recognized in an easy-to-understand manner.

In addition, after shifting to the AT state, after the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state exceeds the fourth specified number, which is less than the third specified number, the navigation stock becomes the predetermined number or more, and the second ED transition condition. Even when the above is established and the state shifts to the ED state, the net increase in the number of medals after the number of medals is controlled to the AT state after the number of navigation stocks exceeds a predetermined number after the transition to the AT state is less than the third specified number. Even when the second ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is entered when the number exceeds the fourth specified number, a common result notification effect is executed at the end of the ED state, so that it is easy to recognize that the ED state has ended. Can be made to.

In the present embodiment, the ED start effect is an effect in which the ED start image is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51, that is, the start of the ED state is suggested by using the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. , It is possible to clearly recognize that the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is controlled.

Further, after the transition to the AT state, the ED start effect is executed when the start operation in the next game of the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied is performed, so that the effect at the start of the game can be focused on and the ED. Since the start effect is not affected by the content of the effect after the game starts, the number of patterns for the ED start effect can be suppressed.

In this embodiment, the ED start effect is executed when the start operation in the game next to the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied is performed, but the game after the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied is executed. If the ED start effect is executed when the start operation is performed in, the ED start effect is executed when the start operation is performed in a game after the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied. Even if it is a thing, the same effect as above can be obtained.

Further, in a game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the navigation effect and the specific role winning suggestion effect (A) (B) are not produced to suggest that the ED transition condition is satisfied. Since the result of the internal lottery of the game such as the small role winning production and the chance production and the production according to the result of the game are executed, the unexpectedness due to the ED start production in the next game of the game in which the ED transition condition is satisfied is executed. Can be enhanced.

Further, in the game of starting the ED state, the ED start effect is also performed when the push order combination is elected and the navigation effect is executed, or when the specific combination is elected and the specific combination winning suggestion effect (A) is executed. Since the execution is prioritized, it is possible to prevent the unexpectedness of the ED start effect from being diminished by the navigation effect or the specific role winning suggestion effect (A).

In this embodiment, in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the navigation effect is executed when the push order combination is won, and the specific combination winning suggestion effects (A) and (B) are executed when the specific combination is won. So, in the ED state, the navigation effect is executed when the push order role is won, but when the specific role is won, the specific role winning suggestion effect (A) except when the specific role that requires the push is won. Is not executed, and in the ED state, an effect suggesting the result of an internal lottery such as a navigation effect or a specific role winning suggestion effect (A) (B) is executed as compared with the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state. Since the proportion of ED is low, it is possible to focus on the ED state effect after the transition to the ED state.

In particular, in the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, if a specific combination is won, it is suggested that the navigation stock may be added or the state may shift to the added state, but the state shifts to the ED state. After that, even if the specific role is won, the navigation stock will not be added and it will not shift to the added state, and the importance of recognizing the winning of the specific role in the ED state is low, so the specific role in the ED state By lowering the rate at which the winning suggestion effects (A) and (B) are executed, it is possible to reduce the annoyance of the player by suggesting the winning of a specific role having a low importance in the ED state.

Further, in the ED state, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is switched to a specific image that is different from the effect image and indicates the winning of the specific combination, thereby suggesting that the specific combination has been won. The specific role winning suggestion effect (B) is not executed, and the flashy effect of switching images during the execution of the ED state effect is restricted, so that the ED state effect can be focused on after the transition to the ED state. it can.

In particular, in the AT1 state, AT2 state, and additional state, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that the navigation stock will be added or the state will shift to the additional state by executing the specific combination winning suggestion effect (B). However, in the ED state where the navigation stock is not added even if the specific role is won and the state does not shift to the added state, the execution of the specific role winning suggestion effect (B) is restricted. , It is possible to prevent a meaningless effect from being performed in the ED state.

Further, in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, the small winning combination winning effect is executed when the stop operation is performed in the push order specified by the navigation effect and the small winning combination is won, while in the ED state, the small winning combination is executed. The small winning combination winning effect is not executed, and in the ED state, the ED state effect can be focused on after the transition to the ED state, and the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous can be suppressed.

In this embodiment, since the set value currently set is suggested by the pattern of the ED state effect executed in the ED state, it is possible to enhance the interest by being controlled to the ED state.

In this embodiment, it is suggested from the pattern of the ED state effect whether the current setting value is likely to be an odd number setting, an even number setting, or a high setting. However, the configuration suggests that the ED state effect pattern is likely to be a specific setting value, the odd number setting, the even number setting, the high setting, and the specific setting value. A configuration in which the set value is confirmed may be used.

Further, in this embodiment, if the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state at the time when the ED transition condition is satisfied is less than the third specified number (2250 in this embodiment), the ED state production is performed. , After executing the story introduction effect, execute the loop effect, and if the net increase in the number of medals after shifting to the AT state when the ED transition condition is satisfied is the third specified number or more, the ED state effect is Since only the loop effect is executed without executing the story introduction effect, it is possible to execute a suitable ED state effect according to the situation when the ED transition condition is satisfied.

Further, even if the loop effect is executed after the story introduction effect is executed as the ED state effect after the transition to the ED state, only the loop effect is executed without executing the story introduction effect. However, since the common result notification effect is executed at the end of the ED state, it is possible to easily recognize that the ED state has ended.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the ED state production, the number of remaining games until the end of the ED state and the number of medals that can be obtained before reaching the upper limit number in the ED state are displayed, so that the number of remaining games in the ED state is displayed. It is possible to recognize the number of medals that can be obtained in the ED state.

In this embodiment, in the ED state production, the number of remaining games until the end of the ED state and the number of medals that can be obtained by the time the upper limit is reached in the ED state are displayed. By displaying "the number of games in the advantageous section / the maximum number of games in the advantageous section (1500)", the number of remaining games until the end of the ED state can be displayed in a identifiable manner, or "net increase in the number of medals / maximum number of medals (1500) 2400) ”may be displayed so that the number of medals that can be obtained in the ED state can be specified, and even in such a configuration, the number of remaining games in the ED state and the number of medals that can be obtained in the ED state can be displayed. Can be recognized.

Further, in the present embodiment, the net increase in the number of medals after the start of the AT state in the ED state effect is continuously displayed from the other AT state effects, but in the ED state effect, the net increase in the number of medals is displayed. May not be displayed, or the number of medals that can be obtained before the maximum number of medals is reached may be displayed instead of the net increase in the number of medals. In addition, after the start of the ED state production, for example, by displaying "net increase in medals / 2400" and displaying the upper limit in line with the net increase in medals, the number of medals that can be obtained before reaching the upper limit is reached. May be able to be identified.

[Continuous production in AT state]
In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 suggests the possibility of shifting to the AT1 state from 5 games before the end of the AT2 state to the game in which the AT2 state ends, and whether or not to shift to the AT1 state in the final game. A continuous effect that notifies the result is executed.

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 controls the effect execution state in which continuous effect execution is permitted for a period from 5 games before the end of the AT2 state to the end of the AT2 state, and as shown in FIG. When the ED transition condition is satisfied in the execution state, the control is performed to shift to the ED state from the effect execution state, that is, the next game in which the AT2 state ends, instead of shifting from the next game to the ED state. At this time, when the start operation of the next game in which the effect execution state ends, that is, the game in which the ED state starts is performed, the ED freeze state at the start of the ED state is controlled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the sub control unit 91 executes the continuous effect during the period in which the main control unit 41 controls the effect execution state, and when the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect. However, the continuous effect is continued, and the ED start effect is executed after the continuous effect is completed, that is, when the main control unit 41 is operated to start the game to shift to the ED state, and then the ED state effect is executed.

Therefore, if the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous production, the game shifts to the ED state from the next game in which the continuous production is completed without interrupting the continuous production, and the next game in which the continuous production is completed. The ED start effect is executed when the game start operation is performed, and then the ED state effect is executed.

As described above, in this embodiment, during the execution of the continuous production over a plurality of games, the control related to the ED state is restricted, that is, the control for shifting to the ED state is restricted. Can be prevented from being damaged.

In this embodiment, it is suggested that the sub-control unit 91 may shift to the AT1 state from 5 games before the end of the AT2 state to the game in which the AT2 state ends, that is, the possibility that the AT state continues. The configuration is such that the continuous effect is executed, but at least in the configuration in which the continuous effect over a plurality of games can be executed in the AT state, the control related to the ED state is restricted during the execution of the continuous effect, as in the above. It is possible to prevent the continuous production from being interrupted by the control related to the ED state, thereby impairing the interest of the continuous production. For example, when a specific combination is won in the AT2 state, a continuous effect suggesting the possibility of shifting to the additional state over a plurality of games may be executed. Further, if the configuration is such that it is possible to shift to the additional state when the specific combination is won in the AT1 state, it is continuously suggested that when the specific combination is won in the AT1 state, it may shift to the additional state over a plurality of games. It may be configured to execute the production.

In this embodiment, when the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect, that is, during the period controlled by the main control unit 41 to the effect execution state, the ED state starts after the end of the continuous effect. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest of the continuous production from being impaired by shifting to the ED state during the execution of the continuous production.

In particular, in this embodiment, when the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is entered, the ED freeze state is controlled to delay the progress of the game when the start operation of the game that has transitioned to the ED state is performed. Even if the continuous production is continued even after the transition to the state, it is specified that the transition to the ED state is performed by being controlled to the ED freeze state in the middle, suggesting that the AT state may continue in the continuous production. In spite of this, the effect is meaningless, but in this embodiment, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect, the state shifts to the ED state until the continuous effect is completed. Without this, the ED freeze state is not controlled in the middle of the continuous production, and it is not specified that the ED transition condition is satisfied in the middle of the continuous production.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the ED transition condition is satisfied for each game if it is in the advantageous section regardless of whether or not it is in the effect execution state. Therefore, when it is determined that the ED transition condition is satisfied in the effect execution state, the ED state is not controlled until the effect execution state ends, and the ED state is controlled when the effect execution state ends. However, when the main control unit 41 is in the effect execution state, by not determining whether or not the ED transition condition is satisfied, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect, the continuous effect is performed. The configuration may be such that the transition to the ED state is not performed until the end, and the main control unit 41 does not make an unnecessary determination in the effect execution state in which the transition to the ED state is restricted. I'm done.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a configuration for limiting the control related to the ED state during the execution of the continuous effect, the configuration for restricting the transition to the ED state during the execution of the continuous effect is configured. As shown in FIG. When the ED transition condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 controls the transition from the next game to the ED state regardless of whether or not the continuous effect is being executed, and when the start operation of the game is performed, the ED is performed. While controlling to the freeze state, the sub control unit 91 satisfies the ED transition condition during the execution of the continuous effect, shifts to the ED state, and continues the continuous effect being executed even when controlled to the ED freeze state. The ED start effect may be executed when the start operation of the next game after the continuous effect is completed, and then the ED state effect may be started. With such a configuration, the continuous effect is executed. There is no need to perform special control on the main control unit 41 side, and even if the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is entered during the execution of the continuous production, the continuous production continues and after the continuous production is completed. Since the ED start effect is executed and the ED state effect is started, the continuous effect is not interrupted even if the ED state is changed during the execution of the continuous effect, and the interest of the continuous effect is prevented from being spoiled. it can.

In this embodiment, the ED freeze state is controlled to delay the progress of the game when the start operation of the game shifted to the ED state is performed, but the ED freeze state is controlled in the game shifted to the ED state. In such a configuration, even if the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is entered during the execution of the continuous production, the sub-control unit 91 continues the continuous production being executed. However, since the progress of the game is not delayed during the execution of the continuous production, the continuous production can be continued without any discomfort.

Further, in the configuration in which the sub-control unit 91 continues the continuous effect being executed even when the ED transition condition is satisfied and the state shifts to the ED state during the execution of the continuous effect, a part of the content of the continuous effect is changed. However, with such a configuration, it can be suggested that the content of the continuous effect is changed to shift to the ED state by the continuous effect. In particular, it is preferable to change the effect result initially notified in the final game of the continuous effect to the effect result of shifting to the ED state. With such a configuration, the ED does not feel strange after the end of the continuous effect. It can be connected to the start effect and the ED state effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a configuration for limiting the control related to the ED state during the execution of the continuous effect, the configuration for restricting the transition to the ED state during the execution of the continuous effect is configured. As shown in FIG. When the sub-control unit 91 executes the continuous effect, there is a possibility that the ED transition condition may be satisfied during the execution period (5 games) of the continuous effect, that is, the net increase of medals after being controlled to the AT state. If there is a possibility that the number of games will exceed the third specified number, or if the number of ED transition games may reach the fifth specified number, control will be performed during the continuous production regulation period until the ED transition conditions are satisfied, and that period. In, the control related to the ED state may be restricted during the execution of the continuous effect by not executing the continuous effect. With such a configuration, the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect. If there is a possibility that the continuous production will be performed, the continuous production will not be executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest of the continuous production from being impaired by shifting to the ED state during the execution of the continuous production.

[About the number breakthrough production]
As shown in FIG. 15, the sub control unit 91 can execute the number breakthrough effect in the AT state. The number-breaking effect is a part of the main effect image displaying an image containing characters (for example, "500 OVER!") Indicates that the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state has exceeded a predetermined number. By overlapping and displaying using a wide area in the center of the liquid crystal display 51, it is an effect that suggests that the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state has exceeded a predetermined number, and the AT state is set. This is executed every time the net increase in the number of medals after the transition becomes a predetermined number (in this embodiment, 500 or more and a multiple of 100 (500 + 100 × n (n ≧ 0))) or more. In addition, the number breakthrough effect ends when the start operation of the next game is performed.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the sub-control unit 91, as a result of winning a small winning combination in the AT state, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state becomes a predetermined number (500 + 100 × n (n ≧ 0)) or more. (S1: Y), when the number of sheets has exceeded the predetermined number after the predetermined number has been reached (S2: N) and the current AT state is not the ED state (S3: N). ), The number of sheets breakthrough effect is executed (S4). On the other hand, even if the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state exceeds a predetermined number (S1: Y), the current AT state is the ED state (S3: Y). Does not perform the number breakthrough effect. That is, the number breakthrough effect can be executed in the AT1 state, the AT2 state, and the additional state, but is not executed in the ED state.

Further, the sub control unit 91 continues the continuous effect when the condition for executing the number-of-sheet breakthrough effect is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect during the period when the main control unit 41 controls the effect execution state. After the end of the effect, if the condition for executing the number-breaking effect is satisfied in the game in which the main control unit 41 has shifted to the AT1 state, the number-breaking effect is executed. On the other hand, if the ED transition condition is satisfied during the execution of the continuous effect, the continuous effect is continued, and after the continuous effect is completed, that is, when the main control unit 41 starts the game to shift to the ED state. Since the ED start effect is executed and then the ED state effect is executed, the number breakthrough effect is not executed.

In this embodiment, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state is equal to or greater than the predetermined number to execute the number breakthrough effect. However, the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state is performed. When the number of medals exceeds a predetermined number, an effect suggesting that the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state exceeds the predetermined number may be executed. Further, the predetermined number may be configured to include a value related to the character, a value related to the set value, and the like.

As described above, in this embodiment, every time the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state becomes the predetermined number or more, the number breakthrough effect indicating that the net increase in the number of medals has reached the predetermined number or more is executed. On the other hand, after the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is entered, even if the net increase in the number of medals exceeds a predetermined number, the number breakthrough effect is not executed, so that the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous is suppressed. At the same time, it is possible to pay attention to the ED state effect executed in the ED state.

In this embodiment, the predetermined number is 500 or more and is a multiple of 100, and the net increase number of medals can be the predetermined number or more even after the shift to the ED state after the start of the AT state. After that, even if the net increase in medals exceeds a predetermined number, the number breakthrough effect is not executed. However, for example, on condition that the net increase in medals after the transition to the AT state exceeds 2000. In the configuration in which the ED transition condition is satisfied, the predetermined number is a multiple of 500, so that the net increase in the number of medals does not become the predetermined number after the start of the AT state and the transition to the ED state. After shifting to the state, the number-of-sheet breakthrough effect may not be executed. Even with such a configuration, the number-of-sheet breakthrough effect is not executed after the ED transition condition is satisfied and the state shifts to the ED state. It is possible to suppress the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous, and to pay attention to the ED state effect executed in the ED state.

Further, in this embodiment, apart from the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state updated in each game, the number of medals is exceeded in a conspicuous manner larger than the net increase in the number of medals in the center of the liquid crystal display 51. Since the effect is executed, it is possible to preferably recognize that the net increase in the number of medals has reached a predetermined number or more.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the execution of the number-breaking effect is restricted during the execution of the continuous effect over a plurality of games, it is possible to prevent the continuous effect from being spoiled by the number-breaking effect.

[Reel control data storage]
Next, in a slot machine equipped with three reels, reel control, that is, control when storing reel control data used for controlling a reel motor for driving reels will be described.

[Reel control data storage area]
FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a configuration of a storage area of the RAM 41c in which reel control data used for reel control in this embodiment is stored.

In this embodiment, three reels are provided, and the RAM 41c is assigned an area for storing a plurality of types of reel control data used for reel control for each reel. Specifically, of the 42-byte area starting from the reference address (add), the area where the reel control data of the left reel is stored is allocated to add to add + 13, and the reel of the middle reel is assigned to add + 14 to add 27. An area for storing control data is allocated, and an area for storing reel control data for the right reel is assigned to add + 28 to add + 41. That is, the reel control data storage area corresponding to the three reels is allocated to the continuous area of the RAM 41c.

The reel control data is 1-byte or 2-byte data, and is acceleration effect data indicating a fluctuation mode at the start of rotation of the reel, a reel stop position indicating a reel stop position, a reel status indicating a reel control state, and acceleration control. 13 kinds of data including the acceleration control data 1 and the acceleration control data 2 used in the above are included. The storage areas for these reel control data are assigned to each type in a common order from the start address of the storage area corresponding to each reel, and the start address of the storage area corresponding to each reel and reel control. The difference from the address assigned to each data type is common to all reels. Therefore, by adding a common difference according to the type of reel control data to the start address of the storage area corresponding to each reel, the address of the area in which the corresponding type of reel control data is stored can be specified. It is supposed to be done.

[Data setting process at the start of rotation]
Next, the rotation start data setting process executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. The rotation start data setting process is a process of storing the reel control data common to all reels required at the start of reel rotation in the reel control data storage area corresponding to all reels before the reel rotation starts. is there.

The process described below is performed by the main control unit 41 according to the program stored in the ROM 41b. Further, the main control unit 41 executes the instructions stored in the ROM 41b in order from the instruction stored in the address of the smaller value among the instructions constituting the program.

As shown in FIG. 18A, when the rotation start data setting process is called, the main control unit 41 first sets the reference address (add) of the reel control data in the IX register by the load instruction (LD). Then, the reel control data storage process is called by the call instruction (CALL) (Sa02).

The reel control data storage process is the process of Sa04 to Sa11. First, the acceleration effect data is set in the HL register by the load instruction (LD) (Sa04), and the acceleration effect data is specified from the value of the IX register by the load instruction (LD). The acceleration effect data set in the HL register is stored in the area of the address to be (acceleration effect data) (Sa05).

Next, by the load instruction (LD), the rotating code indicating the rotation is stored in the area (reel stop position) of the address specified from the value obtained by adding 2 to the value of the IX register (Sa06), and the load instruction (LD) is used. ), The value indicating the start of rotation is stored in the area (reel status) of the address specified from the value obtained by adding 3 to the value of the IX register (Sa07).

Next, the load instruction (LD) sets the HL register with the initial value data common to the acceleration control data 1 and the acceleration control data 2 (Sa08), and the load instruction (LD) adds 4 to the value of the IX register. The initial value data set in the HL register is stored in the area of the address specified from the value (acceleration control data 1) (Sa09), and the value obtained by adding 5 to the value of the IX register by the load instruction (LD). The initial value data set in the HL register is stored in the area (acceleration control data 2) of the address specified from (Sa10).

Then, by the addition instruction (ADD), the data length (14) of the reel control data is added to the value of the IX register (Sa11), and the value of the IX register is added to the reel control data storage area of the next reel, that is, the middle reel. It is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data, and is returned to Sa02, which is the caller of the call instruction (CALL), by the return instruction (RET).

In the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa02, the reference address of the reel control data stored in Sa01, that is, the start address of the reel control data storage area of the left reel is stored in the IX register. Therefore, in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa02, the reel control data of the left reel is stored.

After the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sa02, when returning to Sa02, the reel control data storage process is called again by the call command (CALL) (Sa03).

In the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa03, the reel control data of the middle reel updated in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa02 is stored in the IX register. Since the start address of the area is stored, the reel control data of the middle reel is stored in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa03. Further, in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sa03, the data length (14) of the reel control data is added to the value of the IX register by the addition instruction (ADD) of Sa11. The value of the IX register is updated to the start address of the reel control data storage area of the right reel, and the return instruction (RET) returns to Sa03, which is the caller of the call instruction (CALL).

The reel control data storage processes of Sa04 to Sa11 are stored in the area where the process to be executed next to the address where the call command (CALL) of Sa03 is stored is stored, and the call command (CALL) of Sa03 is used. After the called reel control data storage process, by returning to Sa03, the reel control data storage process of Sa04 to Sa11 is performed again.

In the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sa03, the start address of the reel control data storage area of the right reel updated in the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sa03 is stored in the IX register. Is stored, in the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sa03, the reel control data of the right reel is stored. Further, in the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sa03, the return command (RET) returns to the caller of the data setting process at the start of rotation.

As described above, in the rotation start data setting process of this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 18B, the start address of the reel control data storage area of the left reel is set in the IX register in Sa01, and in Sa02. , Sa04 to Sa11 reel control data storage processes are called, and the left reel reel control data is stored in the area specified from the start address of the left reel reel control data storage area set in the IX register. The IX register is updated to the start address of the reel control data storage area of the middle reel. After that, after returning to Sa02, in Sa03, the reel control data storage process of Sa04 to Sa11 is called again, and the middle reel is set in the area specified from the start address of the reel control data storage area of the middle reel set in the IX register. The reel control data of the reel is stored, and the IX register is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the right reel. After that, by returning to Sa03, the reel control data storage processing of Sa04 to Sa11 is performed again, and the right reel moves to the area specified from the start address of the reel control data storage area of the right reel set in the IX register. Reel control data is stored. After that, it returns to the caller of the data setting process at the start of rotation. Therefore, in the rotation start data setting process of the present embodiment, 12 commands including the Sa01 to Sa11 commands and the return command are required in the reel control data storage area corresponding to the three reels at the reel rotation start. The reel control data common to all reels will be set.

[Conventional data setting process at the start of rotation]
Next, the rotation start data setting process executed by the main control unit in the conventional slot machine will be described.

In the conventional rotation start data setting process, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit first receives a load instruction (load) to repeat the reel control data storage process stored in the ROM 41b (corresponding to three reels). If the reel control data is to be stored in the reel control data storage process, 3) is set in a predetermined register (Sa001), and the reference address (add) of the reel control data is set in the IX register by the load instruction (LD). Set (Sa002).

Next, the reel control data storage process similar to the reel control data storage process of Sa04 to Sa11 is performed (Sa003 to Sa010).

After performing the reel control data storage processing of Sa003 to Sa010, the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage processing set in the predetermined register is subtracted by the subtraction instruction (DEC) (Sa011), and the jump instruction (JR) is used. If the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process is not 0, the process jumps to Sa003 (Sa012). On the other hand, in Sa012, if the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process is 0, the return command (RET) returns to the caller of the data setting process at the start of rotation.

As a result, the reel control data storage process set in Sa001 is performed by repeating the reel control data storage process of Sa003 to Sa010 and the jump instruction (JR) of Sa012 until the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process becomes 0. The reel control data storage process is performed for the number of repetitions of. Therefore, in the conventional rotation start data setting process, all necessary at the reel rotation start are stored in the reel control data storage area corresponding to a plurality of reels by 13 instructions including the Sa001 to Sa012 instructions and the return instruction. The reel control data common to the reels will be set. Further, in the conventional reel control data storage process, since it is necessary to set the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process set in Sa001, in addition to the above 13 instructions, the reel control data storage process is repeated in the ROM 41b. It is necessary to memorize the number of times in advance.

[Difference from the conventional data setting process at the start of rotation]
In the conventional rotation start data setting process, the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process is first set, the number of repetitions is subtracted after the reel control data storage process is executed, and the number of repetitions after the subtraction is not 0. By jumping to the beginning of the reel control data storage process, the reel control data storage process is executed for the number of times set as the number of repetitions, and the reel control data corresponding to each reel is stored in the continuous reel control data storage area. It will be stored. Therefore, in the conventional rotation start data setting process, when the reel control data is stored in the three consecutive reel control data storage areas, the process of setting the reference address (add) of the reel control data and the reel control data storage are performed. Apart from the processing, three instructions are required, and it is necessary to store in advance the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage processing in the ROM 41b.

On the other hand, in the rotation start data setting process of this embodiment, the reel control data corresponding to the left reel and the middle reel is stored by calling the reel control data storage process twice in succession. Further, since the reel control data storage process is stored as the process after returning from the second call of the reel control data storage process, the reel control data storage process is continuously performed to correspond to the right reel. Reel control data is stored. Therefore, in the rotation start data setting process of this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in the three consecutive reel control data storage areas, the process of setting the reference address (add) of the reel control data and the reel control Apart from the data storage process, only two call instructions are required, and it is not necessary to store the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process in the ROM 41b in advance, so that the number of instructions and the number of instructions are smaller than those of the conventional method. It is possible to perform the same processing as before with the amount of data.

[Aspects provided with four reels]
Next, in a slot machine equipped with four reels, control when storing reel control data used for reel control will be described. In the following, the leftmost reel will be referred to as the first reel, the second reel from the left will be referred to as the second reel, the third reel from the left will be referred to as the third reel, and the fourth reel from the left will be referred to as the fourth reel. Further, in the present embodiment, the first to fourth reels are provided with reel motors corresponding to each of the three reels, and can be independently changed and stopped, respectively. Further, each of the first to fourth reels is provided with a stop switch, and it is possible to stop the corresponding reel by operating one of the stop switches.

[Reel control data storage area]
In this embodiment, as in the embodiment including the three reels, the RAM 41c is assigned an area for storing a plurality of types of reel control data used for reel control for each reel. Specifically, of the 56-byte area starting from the reference address (add), an area in which reel control data of the first reel is stored is allocated to add to add + 13, and an area to store reel control data of the first reel is allocated to add + 14 to add 27. The area for storing the reel control data of the third reel is allocated to add + 28 to add + 41, the area for storing the reel control data of the third reel is allocated, and the reel control data of the fourth reel is stored in add + 42 to add 55. The area to be reeled is allocated. That is, the reel control data storage area corresponding to the four reels is allocated to the continuous area of the RAM 41c.

[Data setting process at the start of rotation]
Next, the rotation start data setting process executed by the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 20A, when the rotation start data setting process is called, the main control unit 41 first sets the reference address (add) of the reel control data in the IX register by the load instruction (LD). (Sb01), and the reel control data storage process is called twice by the call instruction (CALL) (Sb02).

The reel control data storage process twice is a process of Sb03 to Sb11. First, the reel control data storage process is called by a call command (CALL) (Sb03), and then the reel control data storage process is performed again. .. The reel control data storage process is a process of Sb04 to Sb11, and is the same process as Sa04 to Sa11 described in the form of including three reels.

In the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03, the reference address of the reel control data stored in Sb01, that is, the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the first reel is stored in the IX register. Therefore, in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03, the reel control data of the first reel is stored. Further, in the reel control data storage process called by the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03, the data length (14) of the reel control data is added to the value of the IX register by the addition instruction (ADD) of Sb11. The value of the IX register is updated to the start address of the reel control data storage area of the second reel, and the return instruction (RET) returns to Sb03, which is the caller of the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03.

The reel control data storage processes of Sb04 to Sb11 are stored in the area where the process to be executed next to the address where the call command (CALL) of Sb03 is stored is stored, and the call command (CALL) of Sb03 is used. After the called reel control data storage process, the reel control data storage process of Sb04 to Sb11 is performed again by returning to Sb03.

In the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sb03, the head of the reel control data storage area of the second reel updated in the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sb03 is stored in the IX register. Since the address is stored, the reel control data of the second reel is stored in the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sb03. Further, in the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sb03, the data length (14) of the reel control data is added to the value of the IX register by the addition instruction (ADD) of Sb11, so that the value of the IX register is added. Is updated to the start address of the reel control data storage area of the third reel, and returns to Sb02, which is the caller of the call instruction (CALL) of Sb02, by the return instruction (RET).

In the area where the process to be executed next to the address where the call command (CALL) of Sb02 is stored is stored, the reel control data storage process of Sb03 to Sb11 is stored twice, and the call command (CALL) of Sb02 is stored. ), After the reel control data is stored twice, the reel control data of Sb03 to Sb11 is stored twice by returning to Sb02.

In the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sb03 in the reel control data storage process of the second round, the IX register was updated in the second reel control data storage process of the first round. Since the start address of the reel control data storage area of the third reel is stored, in the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sb03 in the second round reel control data storage process twice, The reel control data of the third reel will be stored. Further, in the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sb03 in the second round of reel control data storage process, the reel control data is added to the value of the IX register by the addition command (ADD) of Sb11. By adding the data length (14), the value of the IX register is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the fourth reel, and the return instruction (RET) causes the second round of reel control data twice. It returns to Sb03 in the second round of reel control data storage processing which is the caller of the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03 in the storage processing.

As described above, the reel control data storage processes of Sb04 to Sb11 are stored in the area where the process to be executed next to the address where the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03 is stored is stored, and the second round. After the reel control data storage process called by the call command (CALL) of Sb03 in the reel control data double storage process, returning to Sb03 in the second round reel control data double storage process, Sb04 to The reel control data storage process of Sb11 is performed.

In the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sb03 in the second round reel control data double storage process, the call instruction (CALL) of Sb03 in the second round reel control data double storage process is performed in the IX register. Since the start address of the reel control data storage area of the fourth reel updated in the called reel control data storage process is stored, the line is returned after returning to Sb03 in the second round reel control data storage process twice. In the reel control data storage process, the reel control data of the fourth reel is stored. Further, in the reel control data storage process performed after returning to Sb03 in the second round of reel control data storage process twice, the return command (RET) returns to the caller of the rotation start data setting process.

In the rotation start data setting process in the form of including four reels in this way, first, as shown in FIG. 20B, the start address of the reel control data storage area of the first reel is set in the IX register in Sb01. Then, in Sb02, the reel control data storage process of Sb03 to Sb11 is called twice.

In the reel control data double storage process, the reel control data storage processes of Sb04 to Sb11 are further called in Sb03, and are specified from the start address of the reel control data storage area of the first reel set in the IX register. The reel control data of the first reel is stored in the area, and the IX register is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the second reel. After that, by returning to Sb03, the reel control data storage processing of Sb04 to Sb11 is performed again, and the second reel control data is stored in the area specified from the start address of the reel control data storage area of the second reel set in the IX register. The reel control data of the reel is stored, and the IX register is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the third reel. After that, by returning to Sb02, the reel control data of Sb03 to Sb11 is stored twice.

In the second round of reel control data storage processing twice, the reel control data storage processing of Sb04 to Sb11 is further called in Sb03, and the start address of the reel control data storage area of the third reel set in the IX register. The reel control data of the third reel is stored in the area specified from, and the IX register is updated to the start address of the storage area of the reel control data of the fourth reel. After that, by returning to Sb03 in the second round of reel control data storage processing twice, the reel control data storage processing of Sb04 to Sb11 is performed again, and the reel control data of the fourth reel set in the IX register is stored. The reel control data of the fourth reel is stored in the area specified from the start address of the area. After that, it returns to the caller of the data setting process at the start of rotation.

Therefore, in the rotation start data setting process of the present embodiment, 12 commands including the commands Sb01 to Sb11 and the return command are required to store the reel control data corresponding to the four reels at the start of reel rotation. Reel control data common to all reels will be set.

[Difference from the conventional data setting process at the start of rotation]
In the conventional rotation start data setting process, when the reel control data is stored in the storage area of the four continuous reel control data, the reel control data corresponding to the three reels described with reference to FIG. 19 is stored. Similarly, apart from the process of setting the reference address (add) of the reel control data and the reel control data storage process, three instructions are required, and the number of repetitions of the reel control data storage process is stored in advance in the ROM 41b. There is a need.

On the other hand, in the rotation start data setting process of this embodiment, the reel control data storage process is called twice, and in the reel control data double storage process, the reel control data storage process is called, and the reel control corresponding to the first reel is performed. Since the data is stored and the reel control data storage process is stored as the process after returning from the call of the reel control data storage process, the reel control data storage process is continuously performed to perform the second reel. The reel control data corresponding to is stored. Further, since the reel control data twice storage process is stored as the process after returning from the call of the reel control data twice storage process, the second round reel control data storage process is performed twice. Similar to the first round, the reel control data storage process is called, the reel control data corresponding to the third reel is stored, and after returning from the call of the reel control data storage process, the reel control data storage process is continuously performed. By doing so, the reel control data corresponding to the fourth reel is stored. Therefore, in the rotation start data setting process of the present embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in the storage areas of the four consecutive reel control data, the process of setting the reference address (add) of the reel control data and the reel control data. Apart from the storage process, only two call instructions are required, and it is not necessary to store the number of times the reel control data storage process is repeated in the ROM 41b in advance, so that the number of instructions and the data are smaller than those of the conventional method. It is possible to perform the same processing as before in terms of quantity.

[Action effect 1]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls an advantageous section that can be controlled to an AT state that is advantageous to the player, controls the AT state in the advantageous section, and then the ED transition condition is satisfied. In the configuration of controlling to the ED state, the sub-control unit 91 has a predetermined number of medals net increase after being controlled to the AT state (in this embodiment, 500 or more and a multiple of 100 (500 + 100 × n (n ≧ 0)). )) Every time it becomes more than that, it is possible to execute a number breakthrough effect that suggests that the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state is equal to or more than the predetermined number, and when the AT state is the ED state, , It is a configuration that does not execute the number breakthrough effect. With such a configuration, by executing the number breakthrough effect, it is possible to make the player recognize that the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state has exceeded a predetermined number, and it is advantageous. After the AT state is controlled in the section, and after the ED transition condition is satisfied and the ED state is controlled, the number breakthrough effect is not executed, so that the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous can be suppressed. ..

The sub-control unit 91 of this embodiment breaks through the number of medals each time the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state in a state other than the ED state (first AT state, second AT state, additional state) becomes a predetermined number or more. This is a configuration in which the effect is executed and the number breakthrough effect is not executed when the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state in the ED state becomes a predetermined number or more. With such a configuration, after being controlled to the AT state in the advantageous section, after the ED transition condition is satisfied and controlled to the ED state, the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state is predetermined. Since the number breakthrough effect is not executed even if the number exceeds the number, it is possible to suppress the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous.

In this embodiment, the net increase in the number of medals can be equal to or more than a predetermined number even after the shift to the ED state after the start of the AT state. However, after the shift to the ED state after the start of the AT state, By configuring the net increase in the number of medals not to be a predetermined number, the configuration may be such that the number breakthrough effect is not executed after the transition to the ED state. With such a configuration, after being controlled to the AT state in the advantageous section, the ED transition condition is satisfied, and in the case of the ED state, the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled to the AT state is a predetermined number. Since the above is not the case and the number-of-sheet breakthrough effect is not executed, it is possible to suppress the suggestion that the situation is excessively advantageous.

In the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment is different from the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state updated in each game, and is larger than the net increase in the number of medals in the center of the liquid crystal display 51. It is a configuration that executes the number breakthrough effect in a large and conspicuous manner. With such a configuration, it is more conspicuous than the display of the net increase in medals after the transition to the AT state, separately from the net increase in the number of medals after the transition to the AT state that is updated in each game. Since the number-breaking effect is performed in the mode, it is possible to preferably recognize that the net increase in the number of medals after being controlled in the AT state has reached a predetermined number or more.

In the AT state other than the ED state, the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment stops in the push order specified by the navigation effect when the push order combination is won, and the small combination wins a prize.

[Action effect 4]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, reel control data corresponding to a plurality of reels is stored in a continuous area of the RAM 41c, reel control data is stored in an area specified from a designated address, and the designated address is next. It is possible to execute the reel control data storage process to update to the address corresponding to the area of, and when storing the reel control data in two consecutive areas, the first data after setting the address of the first area. By executing the storage process, the reel control data is stored in the first area, and by executing the second reel control data storage process following the first reel control data storage process, the reel is stored in the next area. It is a configuration that stores control data. With such a configuration, when the reel control data is stored in two consecutive areas, the second reel control data storage process is executed after the first reel control data storage process. , The program capacity can be reduced as compared with the case where the reel control data storage process is repeatedly executed while counting the number of executions.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in 2 × 2 continuous areas, the reel control data storage process for executing the reel control data storage process twice at one time is performed twice. With such a configuration, the reel control data is stored in the 2 × 2 continuous area by repeating the reel control data storage process twice, so that the reel control data is stored in the 2 × 2 continuous area. The program capacity for storing reel control data can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in 2 × 2 continuous areas, the reel control data storage process for executing the reel control data storage process twice at one time is performed twice. However, for example, when the reel control data is stored in a continuous area of 3 × 2, the reel control data storage process is called twice and then the reel control data storage process is performed three times at a time. Even when the reel control data storage process is repeated twice, the program capacity for storing the reel control data in 3 × 2 continuous areas can be made smaller. Further, when the reel control data is stored in 2 × 3 continuous areas, even if the reel control data is stored twice, the reel control data is stored twice, and the reel control data is stored twice. The program capacity can be further reduced when the reel control data is stored in 2 × 3 continuous areas.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in two consecutive areas, the reel control data storage process is called to store the reel control data in the first area, and then the reel control data storage process is performed. By calling, the reel control data is stored in the next area. With such a configuration, by calling the data storage process twice in succession, the program capacity when storing the reel control data in two continuous areas can be further reduced.

This is a configuration in which the control data storage process is stored. With such a configuration, the reel control data storage process is executed by the call command, and then the reel control data storage process is executed even after the return by the call command. Therefore, the reel control data is stored in two consecutive areas. The program capacity when storing the reel can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in 2 × 2 continuous areas, the call command is stored in the area where the process to be executed next to the call command of the reel control data double storage process is stored. This is a configuration in which the reel control data twice storage process called by is stored. With such a configuration, after the reel control data storage process is executed twice by the call command, the reel control data storage process is executed twice even after the return by the call command, so that 2 × 2 pieces are continuous. It is possible to reduce the program capacity when storing the reel control data in the area to be used.

When the reel control data is stored in 3 × 2 continuous areas, the reel control data is called by the call command in the area where the process to be executed next to the call command of the reel control data storage process is stored. The same effect is obtained when the reel control data storage process is stored three times.

In this embodiment, the reel control data common to a plurality of continuous areas is stored. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the program capacity when storing common data in a plurality of continuous areas.

In this embodiment, in the reel control data storage process, common reel control data is stored in a plurality of continuous areas, but in the reel control data storage process, not only the start address of the storage area but also the start address of the storage area is stored. By updating the address of the area in which the data to be stored is set, different data may be stored in a plurality of continuous areas. Even in such a configuration, a plurality of continuous areas may be used. The program capacity for storing data can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data is stored in two consecutive areas, the reel control data storage process is called by the call command, and the reel control data storage process is called in the reel control data twice storage process. After performing the first reel control data storage process and returning after the call command of the reel control data storage process by the return command of the reel control data storage process, the second reel control data is stored without issuing the call command. By performing the process, the return command of the reel control data storage process returns after the call command of the reel control data storage process twice. With such a configuration, when the reel control data storage process for storing reel control data in two consecutive areas is called twice by the call process, the return instruction of the reel control data storage process is transmitted in the call process. Since it is used for both the return by the call command that calls the reel control data storage process and the return by the call command that calls the original reel control data storage process twice, the program capacity can be further reduced.

In this embodiment, when the reel control data used for reel control, that is, the control of the reel motor for driving the reel, is stored, the above data storage method is applied. For example, a plurality of the same type are stored. When storing control data that uses actuators such as 7-segment display, LED unit consisting of multiple LEDs, multiple solenoids, and motors for control, the above data storage method is applied. Even if this is done, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
