When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set a predetermined number of bets. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed on the perspective window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, only the winning line LN set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, and the middle stage of the reel 2R, that is, the middle stage is defined as the winning line. , A plurality of winning lines may be provided. In addition, an invalid line may be provided to make it easier to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line is aligned with the winning line LN.

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

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

In the reel stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operation is performed within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in the present embodiment) from the time when the operation is performed for each stop switch. Control to stop is performed. Reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotation) x 21 (number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 21 frames) = 1680 frames of symbols are changed, so a predetermined maximum Until the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of four frames of symbols can be drawn in. That is, in the stop control, one symbol from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbol up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, and 2R.

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

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

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

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, operation order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. And replaying roles (hereinafter, also referred to as "pushing order roles") can be won. The push order combination includes, for example, a combination that is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode and the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. This includes a combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping the advantageous stop mode is higher than that in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Also,
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 performs an advantageous section transition lottery to determine whether or not to control the advantageous section when a predetermined lottery condition predetermined in the normal section (hereinafter, also referred to as “normal section normal”) is satisfied. Then, by winning the advantageous section transition lottery (hereinafter, also referred to as "advantageous section winning"), control of the advantageous section is started. The advantageous section is a section capable of transmitting navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. On the other hand, the normal section is a section in which the navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R cannot be notified.

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

In the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by controlling the AT when the push order combination is won, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player ( For example, the operation sequence, operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 to provide navigation information. As a result, a navigation effect is executed in which the operation mode is notified by using a liquid crystal display 51 or the like.

The push order combination includes a push order bell (6 choice bells) in which the bell wins when the operation mode of the player matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push order combination (hereinafter, also referred to as "correct answer procedure"). , The push order lip that the replay wins when the operation mode of the player matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push order combination is included. In the following, the navigation that can be performed in the game in which the push order bell is won is also referred to as a bell navigation.

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

By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the leading role included in the push order winning in the internal lottery can be surely won. It has become. Further, in the control of the advantageous section, the advantageous section LED 19 can be turned on to notify that the advantageous section is being controlled.

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

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

On the other hand, in the non-internal state, the player does not play the game, or even if the player plays the game, the time is extremely short. In the non-internal, when the CB is won and the winning of the CB is missed, the game state shifts to the internal from the next game. That is, the inside is in a state where the winning of CB is carried over. Once the gaming state is controlled internally, the carried-over CB is rarely won, and if any, has an extremely low probability.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the illustration of the CB is omitted as the game state, but if the CB is won in the non-internal or internal, the game is played from the non-internal or the internal to the CB. The state shifts. In this case, the CB ends in about one game, and the game state shifts to the non-internal state again.

The state in the interior includes a normal section and an advantageous section. As described above, the advantageous section is a section capable of transmitting navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. On the other hand, the normal section is a section in which the navigation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R cannot be notified. In the normal section, when the winning (advantageous section winning) is won in the advantageous section transition lottery, the state is controlled to the advantageous section.

The state in the advantageous section includes normal time (hereinafter, also referred to as “advantageous section normal”), CZ (hereinafter, also referred to as “advantageous section CZ”) and AT (hereinafter, also referred to as “advantageous section AT”). Advantageous section Normally, navigation can be executed. The advantageous section CZ is a state in which the execution probability of navigation is higher than that of the normal advantageous section. The advantageous section AT is in a state in which the execution probability of navigation is higher than that of the advantageous section CZ. In the present embodiment, the execution probability of the navigation in the advantageous section normal is 0%, but the navigation may be executed with a predetermined probability.

Further, the net increase per game that can be acquired by the player in the advantageous section AT is larger than the net increase per game that can be acquired by the player in the advantageous section CZ. Further, the net increase per game that can be obtained by the player in the advantageous section CZ is larger than the net increase per game that can be obtained by the player during the advantageous section normal or the normal section normal. The net increase per game (hereinafter, also referred to as "1G net increase") is the number of medals paid out per game minus the number of medals used to set the number of bets per game. ..

The net increase in a predetermined state (normal section normal or advantageous section normal or advantageous section CZ or advantageous section AT) is a medal paid out in a predetermined state (normal section normal or advantageous section normal or advantageous section CZ or advantageous section AT). Is the number obtained by subtracting the total number of medals used for setting the number of medals in the predetermined state (normal section normal, advantageous section normal, advantageous section CZ, advantageous section AT).

Normal section Normal and advantageous section In both normal and advantageous sections, medals are decreasing. The advantageous section AT and the advantageous section CZ are in a state where medals increase. The advantageous section AT and the advantageous section CZ are in a state more advantageous to the player than the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the 1G net increase is designed to be -1 in the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal, and the 1G net increase is designed to be 1 in the advantageous section CZ. In the advantageous section AT, the 1G net increase is designed to be eight.

That is, the ball ejection rate in the normal section normal or the advantageous section normal is smaller than 1, and the ball ejection rate in the advantageous section CZ or the advantageous section AT is larger than 1. In addition, the payout rate is the same between the normal section normal and the advantageous section normal. Here, the payout rate is the ratio of the total number of medals to be paid out to the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets during the period controlled to a certain state.

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

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

The advantageous section AT is in a state where it can be controlled from both the advantageous section normal and the advantageous section CZ. The winning in which the state is controlled from the advantageous section normal or the advantageous section CZ to the advantageous section AT is also referred to as "AT winning".

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

In the normal section, when the advantageous section transition lottery is won (advantageous section winning), the advantageous section is normally controlled. In the present embodiment, the number of games staying in the normal section is designed to be about 1 game (for example, the winning probability in the advantageous section transition lottery is designed to be 90% or more). By doing so, in most cases, the advantageous section is won in the first game in which the control to the normal section is started, and the control is performed again in the advantageous section (normal advantageous section) from the next game.

Advantageous section Normally, when AT is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section AT (AT). Advantageous section Normally, when CZ is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section CZ (CZ). In the advantageous section CZ, if the AT is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section AT. When the advantageous section AT ends, it is controlled to the advantageous section CZ. When the advantageous section CZ ends without winning the AT, the advantageous section is normally controlled.

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

The number of advantageous sections G is counted by the number of advantageous sections G counter stored in the RAM 41c. Alternatively, in the ball ejection state during the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends when the total number of net increases in the advantageous section, which is updated based on the progress of the game, reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 2400). , The ball ejection state is normally controlled. The net increase number in the advantageous section is counted by the net increase number counter stored in the RAM 41c.

When the state is normally controlled from the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, the total value of the number of digested games and the net increase number counted in the ball ejection state in the advantageous section, and the points that can be obtained during the game are also initialized. Will be done.

Further, for example, the arbitrary end condition includes that the predetermined end condition is satisfied without winning the CZ, and that the predetermined end condition is satisfied without winning the AT in the advantageous section CZ. .. Further, the end condition of AT may be satisfied in the advantageous section AT.

In the advantageous section AT, when the special zone is won, it may be controlled to the advantageous section special zone (also referred to as "additional special zone") in which the ratio of the number of AT games is increased. .. The advantageous section special zone is in a state more advantageous than any of the advantageous section usually, the advantageous section CZ, and the advantageous section AT.

The effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90. Further, the effect control board 90 drives and controls an effect device such as a liquid crystal display 51 (exemplified on the left side of the effect control board 90 in FIG. 4). The effect control board 90 is equipped with a circuit configuration (exemplified in the effect control board 90 of FIG. 4) such as a sub control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40, performs a process of performing an effect, and directly or indirectly controls a configuration mounted on or connected to the effect control board 90. The sub-control unit 91 is a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O port, etc. (not shown).

The circuit configuration of the sub-control unit 91 includes, for example, a clock device 97 (hereinafter, also referred to as an RTC) for measuring at least one of a day and a time. The sub-control unit 91 can execute the effect control according to, for example, the value of at least one of the day and the time measured by the RTC 97, the detection signal from the effect switch 56, and the like. A hopper motor 34b, various operating means, detection means (exemplified on the right side of the power supply board 101 in FIG. 4), and the like are connected to the power supply board 101.

[Winner]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and the granting at the time of winning. In the name column of FIG. 5, the name of the winning combination is shown, and in the symbol combination column, the combination of symbols for which the winning combination is a winning combination is shown. Further, in the combination of symbols that can stop at the invalid line, the combination of symbols that can stop at the invalid line when the combination of the winning symbols stops at the winning line is a combination of symbols that the player can easily recognize. It is shown. In the grant column, the value given at the time of winning (number of medals paid out, replay grant, etc.) is shown.

As shown in FIG. 5, a CB is provided as a special role. As small roles, a middle bell, a right-up bell, a right-down bell (also referred to as a "left-up bell"), upper bells 1 to 8, watermelon, and cherry are provided. As a replay role, a rip is usually provided.

The middle bell, the rising bell, and the falling bell are the roles corresponding to the above-mentioned protagonists. The upper bells 1 to 8 are roles corresponding to the above-mentioned sub-roles, and the number of payouts is smaller than that of the middle bell, the right-up bell, and the right-down bell. Specifically, if the middle bell, the rising bell, or the falling bell is won, 11 pieces will be paid out, and if the upper bells 1 to 8 are won, 2 pieces will be paid out. If the watermelon wins, the watermelon symbols will be aligned on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

[Lottery target role]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a combination of winning combinations read as lottery target combinations for each gaming state. In the combination number column of FIG. 6, the combination number determined for each lottery target combination is shown, the name is shown in the lottery target combination column, and the winning combination combination column is included in each lottery target combination. The combination of winning combinations is shown, and in the game status column, it is indicated by a circle for each gaming status that the lottery target combination is the lottery target.

As shown in FIG. 6, CB is provided as a lottery target combination for a special combination. Six-choice bells (six-choice bells 1 to 6), watermelons, and cherries are provided as the lottery target roles for small roles. A rip is usually provided as a lottery target role for a replaying role. Watermelons and cherries are also referred to as "rare roles" because the winning probability in the internal lottery is lower than the 6-choice bell.

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

[Reel control of push order]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning the push order combination. As shown in FIG. 7, the push order combination is provided with 6-choice bells 1 to 6. In the game in which the 6-choice bell is won during the AT (during the advantageous section AT), the bell navigation is executed and the correct answer procedure is notified to the player. The player can win a winning combination that is advantageous to the player by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the correct procedure according to the bell navigation.

In the game in which one of the 6-choice bells 1 and 2 is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct procedure, the leading right-down bell wins a prize and 11 cards are paid out. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by the incorrect answer procedure, the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins a prize and two payouts are made, or the prize is missed.

In the game in which one of the 6-choice bells 3 and 4 is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct procedure, the middle bell, which is the main character, wins a prize and 11 cards are paid out, but not. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins a prize and two payouts are made, or the prize is missed.

In the game in which one of the 6-choice bells 5 and 6 is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the leading right-up bell wins a prize and 11 cards are paid out. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by the incorrect answer procedure, the upper bell, which is a secondary role, wins a prize and two payouts are made, or the prize is missed.

[Set value]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate changes by determining the winning probability used in the internal lottery according to the set value. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

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

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

When the setting is changed based on the setting change operation, the main control unit 41 performs an initialization process for initializing the storage area in the RAM 41c. At that time, the information about the game stored in the RAM 41c is initialized. Therefore, for example, when the setting is changed during the advantageous section, the information regarding the advantageous section is initialized and controlled to the normal section.

[Omen production and battle production]
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can give a privilege including the first privilege and the second privilege. For example, the first privilege is AT and the second privilege is CZ. The main control unit 41 can give the second privilege (CZ) based on the fact that the specific condition is satisfied. For example, when a rare role (cherry, watermelon) is won, a specific condition is satisfied.

The main control unit 41 can grant the first privilege (AT) based on the number of games that have passed since the predetermined condition is satisfied (also referred to as "the number of elapsed games"). For example, the predetermined condition is satisfied by controlling the advantageous section normally. Further, for details, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when the advantageous section AT is completed. The relationship between the number of elapsed games and the granting of AT will be described later with reference to FIG. 11 (e).

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the normal section in a period including the first period, the second period, and the third period. The first period is a period that suggests whether or not to grant the first privilege (AT) (FIGS. 11 (b) and 11 (d) described later).

The second period is a period that suggests whether or not to grant the second privilege (CZ) based on the fact that the specific condition is satisfied (the rare role is won) in the first period (FIG. 12 (b) described later). )). The third period is a period other than the first period, which suggests whether or not to grant the second privilege (CZ) based on the establishment of specific conditions (rare role is won) (see the figure below). 11 (a), (c)).

The main control unit 41 can control the precursor period and the battle effect execution period in the first period, the second period, and the third period. When the precursor period ends, the battle production execution period shifts. The main control unit 41 may be controlled only during the precursory period, may be controlled only during the battle effect execution period, or may be controlled only during the precursory period and the battle effect execution period. Further, the sub-control unit 91 may control the precursor period and the battle effect execution period.

The precursor period is a period in which the sub-control unit 91 executes the precursor effect. The precursor effect is an effect that suggests that a battle effect is executed. In the present embodiment, in the first period, it is possible to control the AT precursor period. During the AT precursor period, the AT precursor effect can be executed. Further, in the second period and the third period, it is possible to control the CZ precursor period. In the CZ precursor period, the CZ precursor effect can be executed. The precursory effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

The battle effect execution period is a period in which the sub-control unit 91 executes the battle effect. The battle production includes battle production A and battle production B. In the first period, it can be controlled during the battle effect B execution period. During the battle effect B execution period, the battle effect B can be executed. In the second period and the third period, it is possible to control during the battle effect A execution period. During the battle effect A execution period, the battle effect A can be executed.

The battle effect is an effect that suggests whether or not a privilege is given depending on the effect result (victory or defeat) of the battle effect. In the battle effect, the effect image in which the ally character and the enemy character engage in a battle over a plurality of games is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, a series of battles are performed, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays whether the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character.

When the ally character finally wins or loses the enemy character in the battle production, the production result (victory or defeat) of the battle production is notified. When the ally character wins over the enemy character, the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as the effect result. As a result, the player is notified that the decision to grant the privilege has been made.

On the other hand, when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as an effect result. In this case, the player is not notified that the privilege will be granted.

Battle production A is a production that is executed when a rare role is won. Specifically, the battle effect A is an effect of deriving whether or not CZ is given as an effect result in the second period or the third period. The battle effect A includes a victory battle effect A that suggests that CZ is given, and a defeat battle effect A that suggests that CZ is not given.

The battle effect A includes a battle effect A1 and a battle effect A2 having different advantages for the player. For example, when the battle effect A2 is executed, the ratio of CZ being given is higher than when the battle effect A1 is executed. That is, when the battle effect A2 is executed, the possibility that the victory battle effect is executed is high.

As shown above, in the second period and the third period, the execution period of the victory battle effect A (FIG. 11 (a) described later), which is suggested to be given CZ, and AT may not be given. The execution period of the suggested defeat battle effect A (FIG. 11 (c) described later) is included.

The battle effect B is an effect that suggests the addition of AT when it is decided to give AT based on the number of elapsed games, and is an effect that derives as an effect result whether or not AT is given in the first period. Is. The battle effect B includes a victory battle effect B, which is suggested to be given AT, and a defeat battle effect B, which is suggested not to be given AT.

The battle effect B includes a battle effect B1 and a battle effect B2 having different advantages for the player. For example, when the battle effect B2 is executed, the rate of granting AT is higher than when the battle effect B1 is executed. That is, when the battle effect B2 is executed, the possibility that the victory battle effect is executed is high.

As shown above, in the first period, the execution period of the victory battle effect B (FIG. 11 (b) described later), which is suggested to be given AT, and the defeat, which is suggested not to be given AT. The execution period of the battle effect B (FIG. 12 (a) described later) is included.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the rare role is won during the first period and no CZ is given, the defeat battle effect A is performed both during the first period and after the end of the first period. It is not executed (FIG. 12 (a) described later).

If the defeat battle production A is executed when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given in the first period, the expectation for the AT grant in the first period is impaired, and the interest of the game is lowered. It will be. By not executing the defeat battle effect A when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given during the first period, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game during the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

[Rare role winning suggestion production]
The sub-control unit 91 can execute the rare role winning suggestion effect. The rare role winning suggestion effect is an effect that suggests the winning of a rare role when the rare role is won, regardless of whether it is the first period or not. Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a rare combination winning suggestion effect selection table. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a weak effect, a strong effect, and a “!” Effect can be executed as the rare role winning suggestion effect.

When the rare combination is won when it is not the first period (during the non-first period), the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected at a ratio according to whether or not CZ is given. Specifically, if a rare combination is won during a period other than the first period, a weak effect or a strong effect is executed at a ratio depending on whether or not CZ is given.

If the rare role is won when it is not the first period and the grant of CZ is decided (when CZ is won), the execution of the weak production is decided with a probability of 30%, and the probability of 70%. The execution of the strong production is decided by. If the rare role is won when it is not the first period and the grant of CZ is not decided (when CZ is not won), the execution of weak production is decided with a probability of 70%, and 30%. The execution of strong production is decided with probability.

That is, the ratio in which the rare role is won when it is not the first period and the execution of the strong effect is determined in the case where the grant of CZ is decided is more than in the case where the grant of CZ is not decided. Is high. If a rare role is won during a period other than the first period, "!" Will not be executed.

In addition, if a rare role is won during the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected at a predetermined ratio regardless of whether or not CZ is given (“!” Effect is executed. ). Specifically, if a rare role is won during the first period, the execution of the "!" Production is determined with a 100% probability regardless of whether or not CZ is given.

For example, during the execution of the effect of inciting the grant of AT (first period), if the effect of inciting the grant of CZ such as a strong effect is performed, the player misunderstands that the AT is granted and grants the AT. May be expected. With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying and expecting in the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

As described above, in the first period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected from a predetermined number of types of modes. When it is not the first period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected from a specific number of types that are larger than the predetermined number.

In the present embodiment, the predetermined number is 1 and the specific number is 2. That is, when it is the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion production is selected from one type of mode (“!” Production), and when it is not the first period, two types of modes (weak production, strong production). The mode of the rare role winning suggestion production will be selected from the production).

[Example of CZ precursor and battle production A]
Hereinafter, examples of the effect (CZ precursor, battle effect A) executed in the third period and the effect (AT precursor, battle effect B) executed in the first period will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of the CZ precursor and the battle effect A. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. Advantageous section Normally, as shown in FIG. 9A1, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking on the road together with a background image of the road. Further, it is assumed that the control is not currently performed in the first period.

In this state, it is assumed that Cherry (rare role) is elected. By winning the rare role, it will be controlled in the third period. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the CZ precursor effect and the battle effect A1 is decided by the lottery.

In the third period, first, as shown in FIG. 9 (a2), it is controlled to the CZ precursor period. In the CZ precursor period, the execution rate of the CZ chance effect is higher than before being controlled in the CZ precursor period.

The CZ chance production is a production that suggests the possibility that the battle production A will be executed. It is suggested that the battle effect A is likely to be executed because the CZ chance effect is executed frequently. The CZ chance effect is executed by displaying the character image "chance".

When the control to the CZ precursor period is completed, the battle effect A1 is executed as shown in FIG. 9A3. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which a friendly character (character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (character on the right side of the screen) face each other outdoors.

At the start of the battle effect A1, the title of the battle effect A1 is notified. An image including the character image "battle effect A1" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Not shown,
As the battle effect progresses, an image of a battle between a friendly character and an enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

After that, it is notified whether or not it is controlled by the CZ depending on the production result (win or defeat) of the battle effect. FIG. 9 (a4) shows the case where the control to the CZ is notified by the effect result of the battle effect (execution of the winning battle effect A1), and FIG. 9 (a6) shows the control to the CZ according to the effect result of the battle effect. Is not notified (execution of defeat battle production A1).

When controlled by CZ, as shown in FIG. 9A4, the ally character wins over the enemy character, and the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, it is notified that the CZ is controlled.

Then, the battle effect A1 ends and the control to the third period ends. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9A5, the game is controlled to CZ from the next game. A background image of the sea and a ship is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

On the other hand, when it is not controlled by CZ, as shown in FIG. 9A6, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, and the character image of "LOSE" is displayed. As a result, it is notified that the CZ is not controlled.

Then, the battle effect A1 ends and the control to the third period ends. As shown in FIG. 9A7, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking together with a background image of the city.

Further, in the normal section, if it is not controlled in the first period, a weak effect or a strong effect can be executed. For example, when a cherry is won and it is decided to execute a weak effect, as shown in FIG. 9 (b1), one cherry image suggesting that the cherry has been won is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. To.

When the cherry is won and the execution of the strong effect is decided, as shown in FIG. 9B2, three cherry images suggesting that the cherry has been won are displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.

In the first period, the rare role winning suggestion effect can be executed even when the rare role is not won. For example, each game may determine whether or not to execute the rare role winning suggestion effect with a predetermined probability.

Further, when the execution of the battle effect A2 is decided by the lottery, the battle effect A2 is executed as shown in FIG. 9C. The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which a friendly character (character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (character on the right side of the screen) face each other outdoors. The subsequent flow is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 9 (a4) to 9 (a7).

[Example of AT precursor and battle production B]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of the AT precursor and the battle effect B. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. Advantageous section Normally, as shown in FIG. 10 (a1), the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking on the road together with a background image of the road.

Here, it is assumed that in the lottery performed in the first game in which the advantageous section is normally controlled, it is determined that the advantage section is controlled in the first period when a predetermined number of games have elapsed after being normally controlled. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the pre-precursor effect, the AT omen effect, and the battle effect B1 is decided by the lottery.

As shown in FIG. 10 (a2), it is first controlled in the pre-precursor period before being controlled in the AT precursor period. During the pre-precursor period, the execution rate of the pre-precursor chance production is higher than before being controlled during the pre-precursor period.

The pre-precursor chance production is a production that suggests the possibility of being controlled during the AT precursor period. It is suggested that the high frequency of pre-precursor chance production is likely to be controlled during the AT precursor period. The pre-precursor chance production is executed by displaying the character image "chance?".

Advantageous section When the number of games elapsed after being normally controlled reaches the predetermined number of games, the control to the pre-precursor period ends and the game is controlled in the first period. In the first period, first, as shown in FIG. 10 (a3), the AT precursor period is controlled. During the AT precursor period, the execution rate of the AT chance effect is higher than before being controlled during the AT precursor period.

The AT chance production is a production that suggests the possibility that the battle production B will be executed. It is suggested that the battle effect A is likely to be executed because the AT chance effect is executed frequently. The AT chance effect is executed by displaying the character image "great chance".

When the control to the AT precursor period is completed, the battle effect B1 is executed as shown in FIG. 10 (a4). The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which a friendly character (character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (character on the right side of the screen) confront each other in the Colosseum.

At the start of the battle effect B1, the title of the battle effect B1 is notified. An image including the character image "battle effect B1" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Although not shown, as the battle effect progresses, an image of a battle between a friendly character and an enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

After that, it is notified whether or not it is controlled by the AT depending on the production result (win or defeat) of the battle effect. FIG. 10 (a5) shows the case where the control to the AT is notified by the effect result of the battle effect (execution of the winning battle effect B1), and FIG. 10 (a7) shows the control to the AT according to the effect result of the battle effect. Is not notified (execution of defeat battle effect B1).

When controlled by the AT, as shown in FIG. 10 (a5), the ally character wins over the enemy character, and the character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, it is notified that the AT is controlled.

Then, the battle effect B1 ends and the control to the first period ends. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10A6, the AT is controlled from the next game. A background image of the planet is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

On the other hand, when it is not controlled by the AT, as shown in FIG. 10A7, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, and the character image of "LOSE" is displayed. This notifies the AT that it is not controlled.

Then, the battle effect B1 ends and the control to the first period ends. As shown in FIG. 10A8, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the character is walking together with a background image of the city.

During the execution of the battle effect B, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 (b1), an image showing how the ally character and the enemy character are fighting is displayed.

In addition, while the battle effect B is being executed, the rare role winning suggestion effect can be executed. When the execution of the "!" Production is decided by the lottery, as shown in FIG. 10 (b2), an image showing how the ally character and the enemy character are fighting is displayed, and the "!" Is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. The image is displayed.

If the execution of the battle effect B2 is determined by the lottery, the battle effect B2 is executed as shown in FIG. 10 (c). The liquid crystal display 51 displays an image in which a friendly character (character on the left side of the screen) and an enemy character (character on the right side of the screen) confront each other in the Colosseum. The subsequent flow is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 10 (a5) to 10 (a8).

[Omen production and battle production]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, the control of the precursor effect and the battle effect executed in the first to third periods will be specifically described. 11 to 13 are diagrams for explaining the precursor effect and the battle effect.

First, the flow until it is controlled by CZ will be described. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11A, an effect (also referred to as “normal effect”) that is normally executed in the advantageous section is being executed. Here, it is assumed that the control is not performed in the first period.

After that, it is assumed that the role of rare is won and the control to CZ is decided by lottery. In addition, it is assumed that the lottery determines the control of the CZ precursor period and the battle effect A execution period, and the execution of the strong effect.

A strong effect is executed in the game in which the rare role is won, and it is controlled in the third period from the next game and also in the CZ precursor period. When the control to the CZ precursor period is completed, the battle effect A is executed from the next game. In this case, since the control to the CZ is determined, the winning battle effect A is executed.

In the final game of the victory battle effect A, the character image of "WIN" is displayed to notify that CZ is given. Then, from the next game, it is controlled by CZ.

Next, the flow until being controlled by the AT will be described. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11B, the normal effect is executed. Advantageous section It is assumed that in a normally controlled game, it is decided to be controlled by AT by lottery. Further, it is assumed that when the number of elapsed games is the predetermined number of games, the control is determined in the first period, and the control to the pre-precursor period, the AT precursor period, and the battle effect B execution period is determined.

Then, when the number of elapsed games becomes the predetermined number of games minus the number of pre-precursor execution games, the pre-precursor period is controlled. When the control to the pre-precursor execution period is completed, it is controlled to the first period from the next game and also to the AT precursor period.

When the control to the AT precursor period is completed, the battle effect B is executed from the next game. In this case, since the control to the AT is determined, the victory battle effect B is executed. In the final game of the victory battle effect B, the character image of "WIN" is displayed to notify that AT is given. Then, from the next game, it is controlled by AT.

In the present embodiment, if a rare role is won during a period other than the first period, the period from when the rare role is won until the battle effect A suggests whether or not to grant CZ (FIG. 11 (a)). The battle effect A is executed so that the expected value of (see the third period) becomes a specific period. For example, the specific period may be the same as the expected value of the period in the first period (see FIG. 11B). However, not limited to this, the specific period may be longer than the expected value of the period in the first period, or may be shorter than the expected value of the period in the first period.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 11B, even if the rare role is won during the execution period of the winning battle effect B, the decision to grant the CZ is not made. For example, if a rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle effect B, the lottery for whether or not to grant CZ may not be performed. Further, when the rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle effect B, even if the decision to grant the CZ is made by the lottery, the CZ may not be controlled.

Further, when the rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle effect B, a lottery may be performed as to whether or not to change the advantage of the AT. For example, the advantage of AT is the number of AT games granted.

Specifically, when the rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle production B, it is determined by lottery whether or not to add the number of games to the already determined number of AT games. It may be. For example, when the determined number of AT games is 50G, any one of 10G, 20G, and 30G may be added by lottery.

Further, when the rare combination is won during the first period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect may be selected at a ratio according to whether or not AT is given. For example, when AT is given, a weak effect or a strong effect may be executed. When AT is given, the determination may be made so that the execution rate of the strong effect is higher than the execution rate of the weak effect.

Next, the flow when it is not controlled by CZ will be described. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11C, the normal effect is being executed. Here, it is assumed that the control is not performed in the first period.

After that, it is assumed that the role of rare is won and the control to CZ is not decided by the lottery. In addition, it is assumed that the lottery determines the control of the CZ precursor period and the battle effect A execution period, and the execution of the weak effect.

A weak effect is executed in the game in which the rare role is won, and it is controlled in the third period from the next game and also in the CZ precursor period. When the control to the CZ precursor period is completed, the battle effect A is executed from the next game. In this case, since the control to the CZ has not been determined, the defeat battle effect A is executed.

In the final game of the defeat battle production A, the character image of "LOSE" is displayed to notify that CZ is not given. Then, from the next game, the normal production is executed.

Next, the flow when it is not controlled by the AT will be described. At present, it is assumed that the advantageous section is normally controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11D, the normal effect is executed. Advantageous section In a normally controlled game, it is assumed that the lottery does not determine that the AT is controlled. Further, it is assumed that when the number of elapsed games is the predetermined number of games, the control is determined in the first period, and the control to the pre-precursor period, the AT precursor period, and the battle effect B execution period is determined.

Then, when the number of elapsed games becomes the predetermined number of games minus the number of pre-precursor execution games, the pre-precursor period is controlled. When the control to the pre-precursor execution period is completed, it is controlled to the first period from the next game and also to the AT precursor period.

When the control to the AT precursor period is completed, the battle effect B is executed from the next game. In this case, since the control to the AT has not been determined, the defeat battle effect B is executed. In the final game of the defeat battle effect B, the character image of "LOSE" is displayed to notify that AT is not given. Then, from the next game, the normal production is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ratio of CZ being given is higher when the strong effect is executed than when the weak effect is executed. Also, the longer the third period, the higher the percentage of CZ granted. That is, when the strong effect is executed and the third period is long, the expectation of giving CZ is high.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11E, it is designed to be controlled by the AT when the number of games elapsed since the normal section is normally controlled reaches 777G (the number of ceiling games). Has been done.

Further, in a game normally controlled in a normal section, it is determined by lottery whether or not the game is controlled by AT. At that time, the number of elapsed games controlled by the pre-precursor, the number of elapsed games controlled by the AT precursor (first period), the number of elapsed games controlled by the battle effect B, and the number of elapsed games to win the AT are determined. If the AT is won, it will be controlled by the AT from the next game.

In the present embodiment, the number of games elapsed since the advantageous section is normally controlled includes the number of elapsed games in the high probability zone and the number of elapsed games in the low probability zone. For example, in the high accuracy zone, the number of elapsed games is 201G to 250G, 451G to 500G, and 700G to 777G. The high-accuracy zone is a zone that is easily controlled by the AT precursor (in other words, easily controlled by the AT).

That is, when the number of elapsed games is the number of games in the high probability zone, the ratio of being controlled by the AT precursor is higher than when the number of elapsed games is the number of games in the low probability zone, and AT is given. The lottery is held so that the ratio is high.

Next, a case where a rare role is won during the first period will be described. Since the basic flow is the same as that shown in FIG. 11D, detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 12A, it is assumed that the rare role is won during the execution of the battle effect B after being controlled in the first period. It is assumed that the decision to grant CZ was not made in the lottery at that time.

If the rare role is won during the first period and no CZ is given, the defeat battle effect A is not executed either during the first period or after the end of the first period. Therefore, when the battle effect B ends, the normal effect is executed.

In addition, if a rare role is won multiple times during the first period and no CZ is granted at the time of winning any of the rare roles, the player is defeated both during the first period and after the end of the first period. Battle production A is not executed. Even in this case, when the battle effect B ends, the normal effect is executed.

On the other hand, if a rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, the winning battle effect A is not executed until the first period ends, and after the first period ends, the said Victory battle production A is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the battle effect B ends, it is controlled in the second period and in the CZ precursor period. When the control is completed during the CZ precursor period, the battle effect A is executed. When the execution of the battle effect A is completed, it is controlled by the CZ.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to control the pre-precursor period before being controlled in the first period. If the rare role is won during the pre-precursor period and no CZ is given, the defeat battle effect A can be executed. In this case, the defeat battle effect A is executed when the pre-precursor period is controlled to the first period. For example, it is controlled in the order of blur precursor period, CZ precursor period, defeat battle production execution period, and AT precursor period.

Further, in the case where the rare role is won and the CZ is given in the first period, and the winning battle effect A is executed after the first period ends, the first period is If the rare role is re-winned after the end and before the victory battle effect A is executed (the part "* 1" in FIG. 12 (b)), CZ is given by re-winning the rare role. In that case, after the execution of the winning battle effect A is completed, the winning battle effect A based on the re-winning of the rare role is executed. For example, it is controlled in the order of the first period, the CZ precursor period, the victory battle effect A execution period, the CZ, the CZ precursor period, the victory battle effect A execution period, and the CZ.

On the other hand, in the case where the rare role is won and the CZ is given during the first period, and the winning battle effect A is executed after the first period ends, the first period If the rare role is re-winned after the end of the game and before the winning battle effect A is executed (“* 1” in FIG. 12 (b)), CZ will not be granted due to the re-winning of the rare role. In that case, the defeat battle effect A based on the re-winning of the rare role is not executed. In this case, for example, the first period, the CZ precursor period, the winning battle effect A execution period, and the CZ are controlled in this order. After being controlled by CZ, it is not controlled during the CZ precursor period and the defeat battle effect A execution period.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the battle effect A is executed after the end of the first period, the period from the end of the first period to the suggestion of whether or not the CZ is given by the battle effect A (the first). The battle effect A is executed so that the expected value of (2 periods) is shorter than the specific period.

In this way, by shortening the period from the end of the first period until the battle effect A suggests whether or not CZ is granted, the player's disappointment due to the fact that AT was not granted in the first period is reduced. Since it can be preferably reduced by the suggestion of CZ assignment, it is possible to maintain the player's attention to the game, which tends to decrease at the end of the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

FIG. 12 (c) is an example of being controlled by CZ after being controlled in the third period, which is the same as FIG. 11 (a). If the rare role is won and CZ is given when it is not the first period, the period from the winning of the rare role to the start of the winning battle production A (CZ precursor period shown in FIG. 12C). The expected value is the first predetermined value.

If the rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, the period from the end of the first period to the start of the victory battle effect A (CZ shown in FIG. 12B). The expected value of the precursor period) is a second predetermined value smaller than the first predetermined value. That is, the expected value of the CZ precursor period shown in FIG. 12 (b) is smaller than the expected value of the CZ precursor period shown in FIG. 12 (c).

If the rare role is won and CZ is given when it is not the first period, the expected value of the execution period of the victory battle effect A (execution period of the victory battle effect A shown in FIG. 12C) is This is the third predetermined value. If the rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, the expected value of the execution period of the victory battle effect A (execution period of the victory battle effect A shown in FIG. 12B) is , A fourth predetermined value smaller than the third predetermined value. That is, the expected value of the execution period of the winning battle effect A shown in FIG. 12B is smaller than the expected value of the execution period of the winning battle effect A shown in FIG. 12C.

In addition, when the rare role is won and CZ is given when it is not the first period, the victory battle effect A (winning battle effect A shown in FIG. 12C) is executed after the rare role is won. In the case where the rare role is won in the first period and the CZ is given, the victory battle effect A after the end of the first period (the victory battle effect A shown in FIG. 12B). The victory battle effect A is executed in the same manner as when is executed.

For example, in both the winning battle effect A shown in FIG. 12B and the winning battle effect A shown in FIG. 12C, only the winning battle effect A1 may be executed, and the winning battle effect A1 and the victory may be executed. The execution ratio of the battle effect A2 may be the same.

Further, in the present embodiment, during the first period, only the “!” Direction can be executed as the rare role winning suggestion effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 12 (d). May be good. As shown in FIG. 12D, the first period includes a battle effect B execution period in which the battle effect B is executed, and an AT precursor period until the battle effect B is controlled by the battle effect B execution period.

When it is the execution period of the battle effect B, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from the first number of types. Further, in the AT precursor period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected from the modes of the second number, which is larger than the first number. When it is not the first period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected from the modes of the third number, which is larger than the second number.

For example, during the execution period of the battle effect B, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect may be selected from one type of mode (“!” Effect). When it is the AT precursor period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect may be selected from the two types (“!” Effect and weak effect). When it is not the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect may be selected from the three types (“!” Effect, weak effect, and strong effect).

Next, the relationship between the rare role winning suggestion effect and the length of the third period will be described with reference to FIG. 13 (a). As described with reference to FIG. 8, when the rare combination is won and the CZ is given, the ratio of the strong effect being executed is higher than the ratio of the weak effect being executed.

The upper figure of FIG. 13A describes a case where a strong effect is executed when a rare combination is won and a CZ is given. On the other hand, the lower figure of FIG. 13A describes a case where a weak effect is executed when a rare combination is won and a CZ is given.

As shown in FIG. 13A, when the strong effect is executed, the period from when the rare role is won until it is suggested whether or not the CZ is given (third) than when the weak effect is executed. The expected value of the period (CZ precursor period + battle production A execution period) is large.

Further, when the strong production is executed, the expected value of the period (CZ precursor period) from the winning of the rare role to the start of the winning battle production A is larger than that when the weak production is executed. Further, when the strong effect is executed, the expected value of the execution period of the victory battle effect A is larger than that when the weak effect is executed.

In addition, when the strong production is executed, the expected value of the period (CZ precursor period) from when the rare role is won and CZ is started until the victory battle production A is started is higher than when the weak production is executed. It is large, and the expected value of the execution period of the victory battle production A is large.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13B, the relationship between the rare role winning suggestion effect and the feasibility of executing the battle effect A will be described. The upper figure of FIG. 13B describes a case where a strong effect is executed when a rare combination is won and CZ is not given. On the other hand, the lower figure of FIG. 13B describes a case where a weak effect is executed when a rare combination is won and CZ is not given.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), when the rare role is won, no CZ is given, and the defeat battle effect A is executed (upper figure of FIG. 13 (b)). The ratio of the strong production to the weak production and the strong production is higher than when the rare role is won, the CZ is not given, and the defeat battle production A is not executed (the figure below in FIG. 13B). ..

That is, even when CZ is not given, the strong effect is likely to be executed when the battle effect is developed (upper figure of FIG. 13B). On the other hand, when CZ is not given and it does not develop into a battle effect, the weak effect is likely to be executed (see the figure below in FIG. 13B).

[Navigation effect and history notification]
Next, the navigation effect and the history notification executed during AT will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 18.

As described above, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect. In the navigation effect, the navigation information (correct answer procedure) corresponding to the operation mode (pressing order in the present embodiment) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is notified. Notification of navigation information is performed by displaying a navigation image (also referred to as a "navigation information image").

In the present embodiment, in the navigation effect, the character corresponding to the type of the notified navigation information is displayed. The characters include characters A to F described later. Characters A to F are displayed as character A to F images, respectively. For example, the character A image (image of the panda) may be an image that can identify the character A (panda), may be an image having a different size of the character A, and may have a different pose of the character A. It may be an image. Details of the display of the navigation image and the character image will be described later with reference to FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3). A specific example of the navigation effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

In addition, the sub control unit 91 performs history notification. In the history notification, the history of the type of the notified navigation information is identifiablely notified using the character images (characters A to F images). For example, the character image A displayed in the history notification may be the same image as the character image A displayed in the navigation effect, or may be an image having a different size as described above, and the pose may be different. It may be a different image. Further, the main control unit 41 grants a privilege when the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history in a predetermined period.

In the present embodiment, the predetermined period is the most recent 6 times when the navigation information is notified during the AT. The specific history is history patterns A to D. The privilege is the number of additional games. That is, the main control unit 41 assigns the number of additional games when the history of the notification of the navigation information becomes the history patterns A to D in the last 6 times when the navigation information is notified during the AT. The relationship between the history patterns A to D and the number of additional games will be described later with reference to FIGS. 14 (c1) to 14 (c4).

In this way, since the history notification is performed using the character image corresponding to the type of the notified navigation information, it becomes easy to intuitively confirm the history of the type of the notified navigation information. Thereby, the history of the type of the notified navigation information can be preferably notified.

14 to 16 are diagrams for explaining the navigation effect and the history notification. As shown in FIG. 14 (a1), when the navigation effect is performed and the navigation information is notified during AT, the character image is displayed together with the navigation image.

In this example, the navigation image "213" suggesting the pressing order "middle left and right" of the middle first stop, the left second stop, and the right third stop is displayed. In addition, the character C image corresponding to the pressing order "middle left and right" is displayed.

The navigation image and the character image are displayed in the navigation display area at the bottom of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, history notification using a character image is performed in the history display area on the right side of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51.

On the other hand, if the navigation information is notified during a period other than the predetermined period (the latest 6 times when the navigation information was notified during AT), the character image is not displayed. In this case, the history notification is not performed either. A period other than the predetermined period is, for example, during CZ. As shown in FIG. 14A2, when the navigation information is notified during CZ, the character image is not displayed and only the navigation image is displayed.

14 (b1) to 14 (b3) are diagrams for explaining the display of the navigation image and the character image, and the symbol combination derived by operating the stop switch. As described above, in the game in which the 6-choice bell is won during AT, the correct answer procedure is notified to the player.

When the 6-choice bell 1 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "left, middle, right". When the 6-choice bell 2 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "left and right middle". When the 6-choice bell 3 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "middle left and right". When the 6-choice bell 4 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "middle right left". When the 6-choice bell 5 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "right, left, middle". When the 6-choice bell 6 is won, the correct answer procedure is the push order "right, middle, left".

If the 6-choice bell 1 or the 6-choice bell 2 is won and the stop switch is operated in the correct procedure, the left-up bell (right-down bell) wins. If the 6-choice bell 3 or the 6-choice bell 4 is won and the stop switch is operated in the correct procedure, the middle bell wins a prize. If the 6-choice bell 5 or the 6-choice bell 5 is won and the stop switch is operated in the correct procedure, the middle bell wins a prize.

In the present embodiment, the operation mode corresponding to the notified navigation information includes a specific type of operation mode including a plurality of types of operation modes. Further, the character images corresponding to each of the plurality of types of operation modes included in the specific type of operation mode are displayed in a mode in which at least a part is common.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3), the push order corresponding to the notified navigation information includes the push orders of the first group to the third group including a plurality of types of push orders. Is done. The push order of the first group is the push order in which the correct answer procedure is the first stop on the left (the correct answer procedure notified when the 6-choice bells 1 and 2 are won). The push order of the second group is the push order in which the correct answer procedure is the first stop in the middle (the correct answer procedure notified when the 6-choice bells 4 and 5 are won). The push order of the third group is the push order in which the correct answer procedure is the first stop on the left (the correct answer procedure notified when the 6-choice bells 5 and 6 are won).

If the 6-choice bell 1 is won, the navigation image "123" corresponding to the correct answer procedure (pushing order) "left, middle, right" is displayed. As the navigation image, the numerical image "1" suggesting the first stop switch to be stopped, the numerical image "2" suggesting the second stop switch to be stopped, and the numerical image "2" suggesting the third stop switch to be stopped. An image containing "3" is displayed.

These images identify the stop switch to stop by the position displayed. For example, taking the navigation image "123" as an example, the numerical image "2" is displayed at the center position of the navigation image, the numerical image "1" is displayed at the left position of the navigation image, and the numerical image "3" is displayed. Is displayed on the right side of the navigation image. This suggests that the left stop switch is stopped first, the middle stop switch is stopped second, and the right stop switch is stopped third. In addition, the numerical image corresponding to the stop switch that should be stopped at present is displayed larger than other numerical images.

In addition to displaying the navigation image, the character A image (panda image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left, middle, right" is displayed. Further, the navigation information image and the character image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified are displayed as one image. Specifically, the numerical image "1" and the character image are displayed so as to partially overlap each other, and the character image is displayed on the back side of the numerical image "1". The same display is performed for the numerical image "2" and the numerical image "3".

When the 6-choice bell 2 is won, the navigation image "132" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left and right middle" is displayed, and the character B image (monkey image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed. These push orders are the push orders of the first group, and the character A image and the character B image are both displayed as images including a quadrangular frame image. If the 6-choice bell 1 or the 6-choice bell 2 wins, the left-up bell wins.

When the 6-choice bell 3 is won, the navigation image "213" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" is displayed, and the character C image (lion image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed. When the 6-choice bell 4 is won, the navigation image "312" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle right left" is displayed, and the character D image (cat image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed. These push orders are the push orders of the second group, and the character C image and the character D image are both displayed as images including a hexagonal frame image. If the 6-choice bell 3 or the 6-choice bell 4 wins, the middle bell wins.

When the 6-choice bell 5 is won, the navigation image "231" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "right, left, middle" is displayed, and the character E image (horse image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed. When the 6-choice bell 6 is won, the navigation image "321" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "right, middle, left" is displayed, and the character F image (hippopotamus image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed. These push orders are the push orders of the third group, and the character E image and the character F image are both displayed as images including a hexagonal frame image. If the 6-choice bell 5 or the 6-choice bell 6 wins, the right-up bell wins.

As shown above, when the stop switch is operated in the notified pressing order, the same prize is generated regardless of which pressing order the stop switch is operated, while it is derived according to the pressing order of the stop switch. The display result combination is different.

14 (c1) to 14 (c4) are diagrams for explaining the relationship between the history pattern and the number of additional games. As described above, in the history notification, the history of the type of the notified navigation information is notified so as to be identifiable by using the character image. The main control unit 41 grants a privilege when the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history in a predetermined period (the latest 6 times when navigation information is notified during AT).

In the present embodiment, the history patterns include history patterns A to D. In the history pattern A, the navigation information notified in the last 6 times is the correct answer procedure "left and right middle", "left middle right", "middle left and right", "middle right left", "right left middle", "right middle left". Is to include all of. That is, all of the characters A to F images are displayed as the history display.

Here, the history display displays the character image corresponding to the navigation information notified in the last 6 times. The character image corresponding to the latest notified navigation information is displayed at the top, and the character image corresponding to the previously notified navigation information is displayed one below, and the oldest notified navigation information is displayed. The corresponding character image is displayed at the bottom.

Taking FIG. 14 (c1) as an example, a character F image (cover image), a character E image (horse image), a character D image (cat image), a character C image (lion image), and a character B image (monkey image). , The character A image (panda image) is notified in this order. Then, by displaying all of the characters A to F, the specific display is performed by the history pattern A. Then, since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history according to the history pattern A, 150 G is given as the number of additional games.

The history pattern B is that all the navigation information notified in the last 6 times is the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (c2), when the character D image (cat image) is displayed six times in a row as the history display, the privilege is given. Since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history according to the history pattern B, 100 G is given as the number of additional games.

The history pattern C means that all the navigation information notified in the last 6 times is in the same group. For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (c3), when the character image of the first group (character A image (panda image) or character B image (monkey image)) is displayed six times in succession as the history display. , Benefits are given. Since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history according to the history pattern C, 50 G is added as the number of additional games.

The history pattern D is that, of the navigation information notified in the last 6 times, all the navigation information notified in the last 3 times is the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (c4), when the character A image (panda image) is displayed three times in a row as the history display, the privilege is given. Since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history according to the history pattern D, 20 G is added as the number of additional games.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15A, the display mode of the character image and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 corresponding to the display of the character image will be described.

In the present embodiment, the character image corresponding to one type of navigation information is displayed in any of a plurality of types of display modes. As shown in FIG. 15A, the plurality of types of display modes are the first display mode to the third display mode.

The first display mode is a mode in which a normal character image is displayed. The second display mode is a display mode in which one star image is added to the character image. The third display mode is a display mode in which four star images are added to the character image.

Further, the character image is displayed in any of the first display modes to the third display mode based on the history of the type of the notified navigation information. Specifically, when the AT controls and the history notification is performed first, the character image is displayed in the first display mode.

In the present embodiment, in the history notification, a state in which a specific history is obtained when one more character image is displayed is referred to as a "tempai state" (state of FIG. 16A described later). Then, except for the case where the notification history of the navigation information becomes a specific history, the character image is displayed in the second display mode at a higher rate in the tempai state than in the non-tempai state.

Further, in the case of not in the tempai state, the ratio of displaying the character image in the first display mode is higher than in the case of the tempai state. That is, if the state is close to the specific state, the character image is easily displayed in the second display mode.

Then, when the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history in a predetermined period, the character image is displayed in a specific mode (third display mode) (examples of FIGS. 16 (a2) to 16 (a5) described later).

It should be noted that it may be suggested whether or not the character image is in an advantageous state for the player depending on which of the plurality of types of display modes the character image is displayed. For example, a state that is advantageous to a player is a state in which a bonus is won. Alternatively, the state advantageous to the player may be a state in which control to the additional special zone is determined or during the additional special zone.

When the state is advantageous to the player, the ratio of the character image displayed in the second display mode may be higher than when the state is not advantageous to the player. Further, when the state is not advantageous to the player, the ratio of the character image displayed in the first display mode may be higher than that in the case where the state is advantageous to the player.

Further, the speakers 53 and 54 are used for the navigation information when the navigation information is notified or when the stop switch is operated in the operation mode (pressing order) corresponding to the notified navigation information. The sound is output in a mode corresponding to the character images (character images A to F) corresponding to the type.

For example, in the present embodiment, at the timing when the navigation information is notified, the character A is displayed and the voice A corresponding to the character A is output. The same applies to the characters B to F. For example, the voices A to F are voices emitted by different narrators.

Further, the speakers 53 and 54 are used for the navigation information when the navigation information is notified or when the stop switch is operated in the operation mode (pressing order) corresponding to the notified navigation information. The sound is output in a mode corresponding to the display mode (first display mode to third display mode) of the character images (character images A to F) corresponding to the type.

For example, when the character A is displayed in the first display mode (when the navigation information is notified) and the operation of the left stop switch is prompted, the voice "left" is output from the speakers 53 and 54 by the voice A. To. Similarly, when the characters B to F are displayed according to the first display mode, when prompting the operation of the left stop switch, the voice "left" is output from the speakers 53 and 54 by the voices B to F, respectively. Similarly, the voice "middle" is output when prompting the operation of the middle stop switch, and the voice "right" is output when prompting the operation of the right stop switch.

When the characters A to F are displayed according to the second display mode, when prompting the operation of the left stop switch, the voice "left" is output from the speakers 53 and 54, respectively. Similarly, the voice "middle" is output when prompting the operation of the middle stop switch, and the voice "right" is output when prompting the operation of the right stop switch.

When the characters A to F are displayed according to the third display mode, when prompting the operation of the left stop switch, the voices "press left" are output from the speakers 53 and 54, respectively. Similarly, the voice "press inside" is output when prompting the operation of the middle stop switch, and the voice "press right" is output when prompting the operation of the right stop switch.

Further, in the present embodiment, the navigation information image and the character image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified are displayed as one image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the character image may be displayed as the background image of the navigation information image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified.

For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (b1), when the correct answer procedure is "middle left and right", the navigation image "213" is displayed without displaying the navigation information image and the character image as one image. .. Then, as a background image, a character C image (lion image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" is displayed in the center of the screen.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 15 (c1), when the correct answer procedure is "left middle right", the navigation image "123" is displayed. Then, as a background image, a character A image (panda image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is displayed in the center of the screen.

Next, an example of navigation effect and history notification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an example of navigation effect and history notification.

It is assumed that it is currently controlled by AT. As shown in FIG. 16A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a background image (planet image) displayed during AT. In addition, since the AT is in progress, the navigation effect is executed and the history is notified.

In this game, it is assumed that the 6-choice bell 1 is won and the stop switch is operated by the correct answer procedure "left, middle, right". As a result, the left-up bell winning symbol combination is derived on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the left-up bell winning symbol is generated.

In addition, as a navigation effect, a navigation image "123" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is displayed, and a character A image (panda image) corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is displayed. .. By operating in the correct answer procedure, each of the navigation images "1", "2", and "3" is displayed with a correct answer operation image that can identify that the operation was performed in the correct answer procedure.

Then, it is assumed that the history of the type of the notified navigation information is in the tempai state because the notified navigation information (correct answer procedure) is "left middle right". Specifically, in the last 5 times when the navigation information was notified, the navigation information was notified in the order of "right middle left", "right left middle", "middle right left", "left and right middle", and "left middle right". As a result, next, the "middle left and right" is notified, so that the specific history is set.

As the history notification, in the history display area, in order from the bottom, a character F image (cover image), a character E image (horse image), a character D image (cat image), a character B image (monkey image), and a character A image ( The panda image) is displayed, and then the character C image (lion image) is displayed, so that the specific history (history pattern A) is set.

In this way, when the tempai state is reached, the "?" Image is displayed in the display area of the character image to be displayed next. In addition, in order to suggest that the character F image (lion) is displayed next to the character F image (lion) in the tempai state, the character image "tempai!" Is displayed on the screen and the character. The F image (lion image) is displayed. Further, each character image is displayed in a second display mode in which a star image is added.

In the present embodiment, in the history notification, the display mode of the character image may be different depending on whether the history of notification of navigation information in a predetermined period can be a specific history (history patterns A to D) or not. different.

Here, the case where the history patterns A to D can be obtained means a tenpai state (a state in which one more is aligned). That is, it is in a state as illustrated in FIG. 16 (a1). Further, the case where the history patterns A to D cannot be obtained refers to a state before the tenpai state (a state in which two or more are aligned). For example, it is a state as illustrated in FIG. 14 (a1).

In the example of FIG. 16A, the character F image (lion image) is displayed to provide a specific history (history pattern A), which is a tempai state. At this time, each character image is displayed in a manner in which an arrow image is added to the left side of the character image. On the other hand, when the specific history cannot be obtained, as shown in FIG. 14 (a1), the arrow image is not added to the left side of the character image.

Next, it is assumed that the start operation is performed and the 6-choice bell 3 is won by the internal lottery. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14 (a2), the navigation image "213" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" is displayed as the navigation effect, and the character C image corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" ( Lion image) is displayed. In this way, the character image is displayed at the timing when the navigation information is notified.

Due to the notification of the character C image (lion image), the history of notification of the navigation information in a predetermined period becomes a specific history (history pattern A), so that the navigation image "213" and the character C image (lion image) explode. It is suggested that the display will result in a specific history. At the same time, the display switches to a shining "?" Image in the history notification.

Further, at the same time, since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history in a predetermined period, the character image is displayed in the third display mode. In this case, both the character image in the navigation effect and the character image in the history notification are displayed in the third mode.

As shown in FIG. 14 (a3), when the middle stop switch is first stopped (first middle stop), the bell is led out to the middle reel. Further, since the middle stop switch is operated by the correct answer procedure, the correct answer operation image that can identify that the operation is performed by the correct answer procedure is added and displayed on the navigation image "1".

As shown in FIG. 14 (a4), when the left stop switch is operated for the second stop (the left second stop), the bell is led out to the left reel. Further, since the left stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, the navigation image "2" is displayed with the correct answer operation image that can identify that the operation was performed in the correct answer procedure.

As shown in FIG. 14 (a5), when the right stop switch is operated to stop the third (third right stop), the bell is led out to the right reel. As a result, the middle bell wins a prize. Further, since the right stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, the correct answer operation image that can identify that the right stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure is added and displayed on the navigation image "3".

Then, at the timing when the symbol combination is derived, the history notification for identifiablely notifying the history of the type of navigation information is performed using the character image. In this case, since the character C image (lion image) is notified, the character C image (lion image) is displayed instead of the “?” Image in the history notification area.

Further, when the notification history of the navigation information notified in the predetermined period becomes the specific history, it is notified that the specific history has been reached at the timing when the symbol combination is derived.

In the example of FIG. 14 (a5), since the notification history of the navigation information notified in the predetermined period becomes the history pattern A, it is notified that the history pattern A has been obtained at the timing when the symbol combination is derived. .. Specifically, the effect display is performed so that each character image displayed in the history display area shines.

Then, since the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history according to the history pattern A, 150 G is given as the number of additional games. On the screen, a character image "+ 150G" that can identify that 150G has been added as the number of additional games is displayed.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Regarding the slot machine according to the second embodiment, a part different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described, and for other parts, the slot machine according to the first embodiment and the slot according to the second embodiment will be described. Common with machines. Further, the modified examples and the notes described in the first embodiment can also be applied to the second embodiment.

In the first embodiment, in the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16, the navigation effect and the history notification as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 are performed. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the navigation effect and the history notification as shown in FIG. 17 are performed. Hereinafter, parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

[Navigation effect and history notification according to the second embodiment]
FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the navigation effect and the history notification according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the predetermined period is in AT. The navigation display area is the same as that of the first embodiment.

On the other hand, the history display area is divided into a left side and a right side of the screen as shown in FIG. 17 (a1). On the left side of the screen, a character A image (panda image), a character B image (monkey image), and a character C image (lion image) are displayed in this order from the top. On the right side of the screen, a character E image (horse image), a character F image (hippopotamus image), and a character D image (cat image) are displayed in this order from the top.

Unlike the first embodiment, the above six character images displayed in the history display area are always displayed during AT. When controlled by the AT, as shown in FIG. 17 (a1), each character image is displayed with a blindfolded image added so as to blindfold all the character images. It should be noted that the image is not limited to the one to which the blindfold image is added, and the silhouette of the character image may be displayed.

In the second embodiment, the number of additional games is given as a privilege when the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history during AT, which is a predetermined period. As the specific history, a privilege is given when the pattern is as shown in the history pattern A (FIG. 14 (c1)) in the first embodiment.

Specifically, the navigation information notified during AT is all of the correct procedure "left and right middle", "left middle right", "middle left and right", "middle right left", "right left middle", and "right middle left". That is, when all of the characters A to F images are displayed as the history display (when all the characters participate), the specific history is obtained. As a result, a predetermined number of additional games (for example, 100G) is given.

At the start of AT, the characters A to F images are displayed in a state in which a blindfolded image that blindfolds the character image is added. Then, when the navigation information is notified, the blindfold image of the character image corresponding to the notified navigation information is deleted. Then, when the blindfolded images of all the character images are erased, a predetermined number of additional games is given.

Further, in the second embodiment, when the same navigation information is notified a plurality of times (for example, three times) during AT, an additional game number (for example, 20G) may be given. In this case, for example, when the navigation information is first notified, the character image is displayed in the first aspect as the history notification.

Then, when the same navigation information is notified the second time, the character image is displayed in the second mode as the history notification, and when the same navigation information is notified the third time, the history notification is performed in the third mode. A character image may be displayed. As a result, 20G is given as the number of additional games.

In the state of FIG. 17 (a1), it is assumed that the start operation is performed and the 6-choice bell 3 is won by the internal lottery. As a result, as shown in FIG. 17 (a2), the navigation image "213" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" is displayed as the navigation effect, and the character C image corresponding to the correct answer procedure "middle left and right" ( Lion image) is displayed.

At this time, in the history display, the character C image (lion image) is displayed so that the surroundings shine. Then, when the middle bell winning symbol combination is derived by the third stop operation (the middle bell wins), the blindfold image of the character C image (lion image) in the history display is deleted as shown in FIG. 17 (a3). Will be done. At the same time, the image is displayed so that the surroundings shine.

In this state, it is assumed that the 6-choice bell 3 is won again and the middle bell is won. Since the same navigation information was notified for the second time, the character C image (lion image) is displayed in the second mode as shown in FIG. 17 (a4).

In this state, it is assumed that the 6-choice bell 3 is won again and the middle bell is won. Since the same navigation information was notified for the third time, the character C image (lion image) is displayed in the third mode as shown in FIG. 17 (a5). Then, when the same navigation information is notified for the third time, it becomes a specific history, and 20G is given as the number of additional games. An image "+20" that can identify that 20G has been added as the number of additional games is displayed on the screen.

Next, the situation when the specific history is changed from the tempai state will be described. At present, it is assumed that the character A image (panda image) is displayed and the tenpai state becomes a specific history.

As shown in FIG. 17 (a6), the blindfold image is added only to the character A image (panda image). Further, in order to suggest that the character A image (panda image) is displayed next to be a specific history, the character image "Tempai!" Is displayed on the screen and the character A image (panda) is displayed. Image) is displayed.

In this state, it is assumed that the start operation is performed, the 6-choice bell 1 is won, and the left-up bell wins. As shown in FIG. 17 (a7), the notification of the character A image (panda image) makes the history of notification of navigation information during a predetermined period (during AT) a specific history, so 100 G is added as the number of additional games. .. On the screen, a character image "+ 100G" that can identify that 100G has been added as the number of additional games is displayed.

Further, in the second embodiment, the advantage of the privilege to be given may be different depending on the display mode of the character image in the history display. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 (a8), when the character image is displayed in a mode in which a star image is added, rather than in a mode in which the star image is not added. The number of additional games to be given may be larger.

For example, when two star images are added, 150 G may be added as the number of additional games. Further, the number of additional games may be increased according to the number of added stars. For example, the number of stars may be added every time the same navigation information is notified a third time.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, the slot machine according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Regarding the slot machine according to the third embodiment, a part different from the slot machine according to the first embodiment will be described, and for other parts, the slot machine according to the first embodiment and the slot according to the third embodiment will be described. Common with machines. Further, the modified examples and the notes described in the first embodiment can also be applied to the third embodiment.

On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the navigation effect and the history notification as shown in FIG. 18 are performed. Hereinafter, parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

[Navigation effect and history notification according to the third embodiment]
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the navigation effect and the history notification according to the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the predetermined period is a special period during AT. For example, the special period may be a period over a predetermined number of games before the control to the AT ends, or may be a period controlled by the additional special zone.

The navigation display area is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, unlike the first embodiment, only the navigation information image is displayed in the navigation display area. Then, a character image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified is displayed in the center of the screen. In addition, a history display area is provided between the navigation display area and the area for displaying the character image.

In the special period, the battle effect C is executed as the battle effect. In the battle effect C, the effect image in which the ally character and the enemy character engage in a battle over a special period is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Finally, the liquid crystal display 51 displays whether the ally character wins or loses the enemy character. If the ally character defeats the enemy character, a privilege will be given. On the other hand, if the ally character defeats the enemy character, the privilege is not given. For example, the privilege is the number of additional games. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a1), when the special period is entered during AT, an image in which the ally character (left side of the screen) and the enemy character (right side of the screen) face each other is displayed. The area where the image is displayed is an area where the character image corresponding to the navigation information is displayed.

A bar image (friendly character) is displayed at the bottom of the ally character image, and a bar image (enemy character) is displayed at the bottom of the enemy character image. The bar image is an image in which the points (friend points and enemy points) accumulated in the special period are identifiable by the scale displayed on the bar image. The area in which the bar image (friendly character) and the bar image (enemy character) are displayed is the history display area.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a1), in the state of transition to the special period during AT, the scales displayed on the bar image (friendly character) and the bar image (enemy character) both show initial values.

Then, by winning the 6-choice bell, the scale of either the bar image (friendly character) or the bar image (enemy character) increases. Furthermore, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) is reduced by the attack of the ally character, and the scale of the bar image (friend character) is reduced by the attack (counterattack) of the enemy character.

In the third embodiment, the character image corresponding to the navigation information is an image attacked by a ally character (attack image) or an image attacked by an enemy character (counterattack image). Then, the history notification is performed by the scale of the bar image (friendly character) and the scale of the bar image (enemy character).

When the scale of the bar image (enemy character) becomes 0, the ally character wins the enemy character. In the third embodiment, the specific history is that the scale of the bar image (enemy character) becomes 0. In this case, a privilege is given according to the remaining amount of the scale of the bar image (friend character). For example, if the scale is the maximum value, 200 games may be added as the number of additional games, and 150G, 100G, or 50G may be added depending on the remaining amount of the scale.

On the other hand, when the scale of the bar image (friendly character) becomes 0, the friendly character is defeated by the enemy character. In this case, the number of additional games is not given.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a2), by winning the 6-choice bell 1, the navigation image "123" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is displayed, and the strength corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is displayed. The attack image is displayed. From the speakers 53 and 54, the voice "this is still" corresponding to the correct answer procedure "left middle right" is output. In addition, the scale of the bar image (friendly character) increases by winning the 6-choice bell 1. If the correct procedure "left, middle, right" is performed after winning the 6-choice bell 1, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) is reduced.

Here, if the 6-choice bell 1 is won, a strong attack image is displayed, if the 6-choice bell 2 is won, a medium attack image is displayed, and if the 6-choice bell 3 is won, a weak attack image is displayed. If the 6-choice bell 4 is won, a weak counterattack image is displayed, if the 6-choice bell 6 is won, a medium counterattack image is displayed, and if the 6-choice bell 5 is won, a strong counterattack image is displayed.

The attack image displays an image in which a ally character attacks an enemy character, and an image having a strong attack power against the enemy is displayed in the order of a strong attack image, a medium attack image, and a weak attack image, and when the 6-choice bell is won. The amount of increase in the scale of the bar image (friendly character) also increases. Further, as a result of attacking the enemy, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) can be reduced, but in the above order, the amount of reduction of the scale of the bar image (enemy character) also increases.

The counterattack image displays an image in which a friendly character is counterattacked by an enemy character, and an image in which the enemy's attack power is strong is displayed in the order of strong counterattack, medium counterattack image, and weak counterattack image, and when the 6-choice bell is won. The amount of increase in the scale of the bar image (enemy character) also increases. In addition, as a result of being attacked by the enemy, the scale of the bar image (friend character) decreases, but in the above order, the amount of decrease of the scale of the bar image (friend character) also increases.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a3), by winning the 6-choice bell 2, the navigation image "132" corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed, the medium attack image is displayed, and the bar image (friend character) is displayed. The scale increases. When the operation is performed according to the correct answer procedure, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a4), by winning the 6-choice bell 3, the navigation image "213" corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed, the weak attack image is displayed, and the bar image (friend character) is displayed. The scale increases. When the operation is performed according to the correct answer procedure, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a5), by winning the 6-choice bell 4, the navigation image "312" corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed, the weak counterattack image is displayed, and the bar image (enemy character) is displayed. The scale increases. When the operation according to the correct answer procedure is performed, the scale of the bar image (friendly character) is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a6), by winning the 6-choice bell 6, the navigation image "321" corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed, the medium counterattack image is displayed, and the bar image (enemy character) is displayed. The scale increases. When the operation according to the correct answer procedure is performed, the scale of the bar image (friendly character) is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a7), by winning the 6-choice bell 5, the navigation image "231" corresponding to the correct answer procedure is displayed, the strong counterattack image is displayed, and the bar image (enemy character) is displayed. The scale increases. When the operation according to the correct answer procedure is performed, the scale of the bar image (friendly character) is reduced.

As described above, if the ally character wins the enemy character as a result of repeating the battle between the ally character and the enemy character based on the winning of the 6-choice bell, the state transitions to the state shown in FIG. 18 (a8), and the ally character becomes the enemy. If the character is defeated, the state transitions to the state shown in FIG. 18 (a9).

As shown in FIG. 18 (a8), when the ally character defeats the enemy character, the image in which the ally character defeats the enemy character is displayed, and the character image "WIN" is displayed. At this time, the scale of the bar image (enemy character) is 0.

In this way, when the remaining amount of the scale of the bar image (enemy character) becomes 0 and the specific history is obtained, the character image "WIN" is displayed at the timing when the symbol combination is derived and the specific history is obtained. Is notified.

In addition, the number of additional games is given according to the remaining amount of the scale of the bar image (friendly character). The larger the remaining amount of the scale of the bar image (friendly character), the larger the number of additional games to be given. In this example, 100G is given as the number of additional games.

Further, although not shown, in a state (tempai state) in which it is confirmed that the remaining amount of the scale of the bar image (enemy character) becomes 0 by the next attack, the display mode of the attack image is different. For example, the display mode of the attack image may be changed by changing the background color to a specific color.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18A8, when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the image in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed, and the character image "LOSE" is displayed. At this time, the scale of the bar image (friendly character) is 0. In this case, the number of additional games is not given.

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

(1-1) A variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, is provided.
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variablely displayed and a prize can be generated according to the display result.
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result, and
Notifying operation information (for example, navigation information) corresponding to the operation mode (for example, push order) of the derivation operation means (for example, FIG. 16) Notification means (for example, processing for notifying navigation information by the sub control unit 91). When,
A privilege (for example, when the history of notification of the operation information by the notification means becomes a specific history (for example, history patterns A to D) in a predetermined period (for example, the latest 6 times when the navigation information is notified during AT). For example, when the privilege giving means (for example, the process of giving the number of additional games by the main control unit 41) is given (for example, FIGS. 14 (c1) to (c4)),
Characters (for example, character images A to F) corresponding to the type of operation information notified by the notification means are displayed (for example, FIGS. 14 (b1) to (b3)). Character display means (for example, a sub control unit). (Processing to display the character image by 91) and
Using the character, the history of the type of operation information notified by the notification means is identifiablely notified (for example, FIG. 16), and the history notification means (for example, the process of performing history notification by the sub control unit 91). , Equipped with.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the sub control unit 91 notifies the navigation information corresponding to the operation mode (pushing order) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In addition, FIGS. 14 (c1) to 14 (c)
As shown in 4), the main control unit 41 has a specific history (history patterns A to D) of the navigation information notification history during a predetermined period (the most recent 6 times when the navigation information was notified during AT). Sometimes an additional number of games is given. Further, as shown in FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3), the sub control unit 91 displays the character images A to F corresponding to the type of the notified navigation information. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the sub control unit 91 uses a character image to perform history notification for identifiablely notifying the history of the type of navigation information notified. In this way, since the history notification is performed using the character image corresponding to the type of the notified navigation information, it becomes easy to intuitively confirm the history of the type of the notified navigation information. Thereby, the history of the type of the notified navigation information can be preferably notified.

(1-2) In the notification by the history notification means, the history of the notification of the operation information by the notification means in the predetermined period can be the specific history (for example, FIG. 16A1) and the specific history. The display mode of the character is different depending on the case (for example, FIG. 14 (a1)) (for example, FIG. 14 (a1) and FIG. 16 (a1)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (a1) and 16 (a1), in the history notification, the history of notification of navigation information in a predetermined period can be history patterns A to D by tempai (FIG. 16 (FIG. 16). The display mode of the character image is different between a1)) and the case where the history patterns A to D cannot be obtained (FIG. 14 (a1)). By doing so, it becomes easy to understand the status of the notification history of the navigation information.

(1-3) The character display means displays the character at the timing when the notification means notifies the operation information (for example, FIG. 16A2).
The history notification means uses the character to identifiable the history of the type of operation information notified by the notification means at the timing when the display result is derived (for example, FIG. 16A5). ..

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16A2, the character image is displayed at the timing when the navigation information is notified. Further, as shown in FIG. 16A5, at the timing when the symbol combination is derived, the history notification for identifiablely notifying the history of the type of navigation information is performed using the character image. By doing so, the player's attention can be gradually attracted.

(1-4) The character display means displays the character at the timing when the notification means notifies the operation information (for example, FIG. 16A2).
When the history of notification of the operation information by the notification means becomes the specific history in the predetermined period, it is notified that the specific history has been reached at the timing when the display result is derived (for example, FIG. 16 (a5). )).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16A2, the character image is displayed at the timing when the navigation information is notified. Further, as shown in FIG. 16A5, when the notification history of the navigation information notified in the predetermined period becomes the specific history (history patterns A to D), it is specified by the effect at the timing when the symbol combination is derived. It is notified that the history has been reached (for example, FIG. 16 (a5)). By doing so, the player's attention can be gradually attracted.

(1-5) The character corresponding to one type of operation information is displayed in any of a plurality of types of display modes (first display mode to third display mode) (FIG. 15 (a)).
Based on the history of the types of operation information notified by the notification means, the character is displayed in any of the plurality of types of display modes (FIG. 15A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, the character image corresponding to one type of navigation information is displayed in any of the first display modes to the third display mode. Further, the character image is displayed in any of the first display modes to the third display mode based on the history of the type of the notified navigation information. By doing so, it becomes easy to understand the status of the notification history of the navigation information.

(1-6) When the history of notification of the operation information by the notification means becomes the specific history in the predetermined period, the character is displayed in a specific mode (for example, a third display mode) (for example, FIG. 16). (A2) to (a5)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 16 (a2) to 16 (a5), when the history of notification of navigation information becomes a specific history in a predetermined period, the character image is displayed in the third display mode. By doing so, it is possible to raise the player's attention to the display in the third display mode, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-7) Depending on which of the plurality of types of display modes the character is displayed, it is suggested whether or not the character is in a state advantageous to the player (for example, a state in which a bonus is won). For example, FIG. 15 (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, it is suggested whether or not the bonus is won depending on which of the first display mode to the third display mode the character image is displayed. To. By doing so, it is possible to attract more attention of the player as to which of the first display mode to the third display mode the character image is displayed.

(1-8) Further provided with sound output means (for example, speakers 53 and 54) for outputting sound,
The sound output means either when the operation information is notified by the notification means or when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the operation information notified by the notification means. At that time, the sound is output in a mode corresponding to the character corresponding to the type of the operation information (for example, FIG. 15A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, the speakers 53 and 54 are used when the navigation information is notified and when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order corresponding to the notified navigation information. In any case, the sound is output in a mode corresponding to the character images A to F corresponding to the type of the navigation information. By doing so, the notification of the navigation information becomes diverse, and the player's attention to the aspect of the character image can be further attracted.

(1-9) In the sound output means, the derivation operation means is operated when the operation information is notified by the notification means and in an operation mode corresponding to the operation information notified by the notification means. At any time, the sound is output in a mode corresponding to the display mode of the character corresponding to the type of the operation information (for example, FIG. 15A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A, the speakers 53 and 54 are used when the navigation information is notified and when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order corresponding to the notified navigation information. At any time, the sound is output in a mode corresponding to the display modes (first display mode to third display mode) of the character images A to F corresponding to the type of the navigation information. By doing so, the notification of the navigation information becomes diverse, and the player's attention to the aspect of the character image can be further attracted.

(1-10) The character display means displays an image of the character as a background image of an operation information image (for example, a navigation information image) corresponding to the operation information notified by the notification means (for example, FIG. 15). (B1), (b2)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15 (b1) and 15 (b2), a character image is displayed as a background image of the navigation information image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified. By doing so, the player's attention to the character image can be further attracted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the notification of the pushing order from being disturbed as much as possible.

(1-11) The operation information image corresponding to the operation information notified by the notification means and the image of the character are displayed as one image (for example, FIGS. 14 (b1) to (b3)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3), the navigation information image and the character image corresponding to the navigation information to be notified are displayed as one image. By doing so, the player's attention to the character image can be further attracted.

(1-12) When the operation information is notified by the notification means in the predetermined period, the character is displayed, while the operation information is notified by the notification means in a period other than the predetermined period. In this case, the character is not displayed (for example, FIGS. 14 (a1) and 14 (a2)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (a1) and 14 (a2), when the navigation information is notified during AT, the character image is displayed while the period other than the predetermined period (for example, during CZ). ), The character image is not displayed when the navigation information is notified. By doing so, it is possible to attract more attention of the player to the push order in the predetermined period.

(1-13) When the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode notified by the notification means, the same prize (for example, 6-choice bell) is generated regardless of which operation mode the derivation operation means is operated. On the other hand, the display results derived are different depending on the operation mode of the derivation operation means (for example, FIGS. 14 (b1) to (b3)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3), when the stop switch is operated in the notified pressing order, the same prize (6) is obtained regardless of which pressing order the stop switch is operated. While the selection bell) occurs, the display result combination derived depends on the pressing order of the stop switch. By doing so, it is possible to recognize the difference in the pressing order depending on the derived display result combination.

(1-14) The operation mode corresponding to the operation information notified by the notification means includes a specific type (for example, first group to third group) operation mode including a plurality of types of operation modes.
The characters corresponding to each of the plurality of types of operation modes included in the specific type of operation mode have at least a part in common (for example, a quadrangular frame image, a hexagonal frame image, a can frame). (Image) (for example, FIGS. 14 (b1) to (b3)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 (b1) to 14 (b3), the push order corresponding to the notified navigation information includes the push orders of the first group to the third group including a plurality of types of push orders. Is done. Further, the character images corresponding to each of the plurality of types of push orders included in the push orders of the first group to the third group have at least a common mode (square frame image, hexagonal frame image, can). It is displayed as a frame image). By doing so, it becomes easy to recognize which group the push order is included in.

(2) A variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, is provided.
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variablely displayed and a prize can be generated according to the display result.
First period control means (for example, control by the main control unit 41) for controlling in the first period (for example, FIG. 11B) suggesting whether or not to give the first privilege (for example, AT). Processing) and
With a second privilege granting means (for example, a process of granting CZ by the main control unit 41) capable of granting a second privilege (for example, CZ) based on the establishment of a specific condition (for example, winning a rare combination). ,
When the specific condition is satisfied, the grant suggestion effect (for example, battle effect A (battle effect A1, A2)) can be executed. The grant suggestion effect means (for example, the battle effect A by the sub control unit 91 is executed). Processing) and
The grant suggestion effect includes a grant suggestion effect (for example, a victory battle effect A) executed when the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, and the second privilege granting means. Including the grant non-suggestion effect (for example, defeat battle effect A) that is executed when the privilege is not granted,
If the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is not granted by the second privilege granting means, the second privilege is not granted either during the first period or after the end of the first period. The granting no suggestion effect is not executed (for example, FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, the main control unit 41 can be controlled during the first period suggesting whether or not to grant the AT. Further, the main control unit 41 can assign a CZ based on the winning of the rare combination. Further, the sub control unit 91 can execute the battle effect A when the rare role is won. Further, the battle effect A includes a victory battle effect A executed when CZ is given and a defeat battle effect A executed when CZ is not given. As shown in FIG. 12A, if a rare role is won during the first period and no CZ is given, a defeat battle effect is produced both during the first period and after the end of the first period. A is not executed.

If the defeat battle production A is executed when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given in the first period, the expectation for the AT grant in the first period is impaired, and the interest of the game is lowered. It will be. By not executing the defeat battle effect A when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given during the first period, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game during the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

(2-1) The first privilege granting means (for example, the main control unit) capable of granting the first privilege based on the number of games elapsed since the predetermined condition (for example, control to the advantageous section normal) is satisfied. Processing to give AT by 41), further provided
The first period control means controls the first period based on the number of games that have passed since the predetermined condition was satisfied (for example, FIG. 11E).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), the main control unit 41 assigns an AT based on the number of games that have elapsed since the advantageous section was normally controlled. Further, the main control unit 41 controls in the first period based on the number of games that have elapsed since the advantageous section was normally controlled. By doing so, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the number of games that have passed since the advantageous section was normally controlled.

(2-2) The number of games elapsed since the predetermined condition is satisfied is the number of first games (for example, the number of games in the high probability zone) and the number of second games (for example, the number of games in the low probability zone). Including
When the number of games elapsed since the predetermined condition is satisfied is the first number of games, the number of games elapsed since the predetermined condition is satisfied is the first number of games, as compared with the case where the number of games elapsed since the predetermined condition is satisfied is the second number of games. The rate at which benefits are granted is high (for example, FIG. 11 (e)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), when the number of elapsed games is the number of games in the high probability zone, AT is given more than when the number of elapsed games is the number of games in the low probability zone. The ratio is high. By doing so, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the high-accuracy zone in which the rate of AT is high.

(2-3) In the first period, the first period with grant (for example, the execution period of the victory battle effect B (FIG. 11B)), which is suggested to grant the first privilege, and the above. There is a first period without grant (for example, an execution period of defeat battle production B (FIG. 12A)), which suggests that the first privilege is not granted.
Even if the specific condition is satisfied in the first period with grant, the decision to grant the second privilege is not made (for example, FIG. 11B).

Specifically, in the first period, the execution period of the victory battle effect B (FIG. 11 (b)), which is suggested to be given AT, and the defeat battle effect B, which is suggested not to be given AT. There is an execution period (FIG. 12 (a)) of. As shown in FIG. 11B, even if the rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle effect B, the decision to grant the CZ is not made. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the processing from becoming complicated in the situation where the granting of AT is decided.

(2-4) When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period with grant, a lottery is conducted as to whether or not to change the advantage of the first privilege (for example, FIG. 11B). ).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, if a rare role is won during the execution period of the victory battle effect B, whether to change the AT advantage (the number of AT games to be given). A lottery will be held. By doing so, the player will not be disadvantaged.

(2-5) A process of controlling the first pre-stage period control means (for example, the pre-precursor period) controlled by the main control unit 41 in the first pre-stage period (for example, the pre-precursor period) before being controlled in the first period. ), With
When the specific condition is satisfied during the first first stage period and the second privilege is not granted by the second privilege granting means, the granting non-suggestion effect is executed (for example, FIG. 12B). ).

Specifically, the main control unit 41 can be controlled in the pre-precursor period before being controlled in the first period. As shown in FIG. 12B, if the rare role is won during the pre-precursor period and no CZ is given, the defeat battle effect A is executed. By doing so, even when the defeat battle effect A is executed, control to the first period can be expected after that, so that the degree of expectation of the player can be improved.

(2-6) When the specific condition is satisfied during the first first stage period and the second privilege is not given by the second privilege granting means, control is performed from the first first stage period to the first period. When this is done, the grant-implicit effect is executed (for example, FIG. 12B).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, if a rare role is won during the pre-precursor period and no CZ is given, a defeat battle is performed when the pre-precursor period is controlled to the first period. Direction A is executed. By doing so, even if the defeat battle effect A is executed, control to the first period can be expected after that, so that the player can pay attention to the execution of the defeat battle effect A.

(2-7) When the specific condition is satisfied a plurality of times during the first period and the second privilege is not granted by the second privilege granting means at the time when any of the specific conditions is satisfied. Neither during the first period nor after the end of the first period is performed (for example, FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, if a rare combination is won a plurality of times during the first period and no CZ is given at any of the rare combinations, during the first period. And, after the end of the first period, the defeat battle effect A is not executed. If the defeat battle production A is executed when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given in the first period, the expectation in the first period is impaired and the interest of the game is lowered. .. By not executing the defeat battle effect A when the rare role is won and the CZ is not given during the first period, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game during the first period.

(2-8) When the specific condition is satisfied when it is not the first period, the period from the establishment of the specific condition to the suggestion of whether or not the second privilege is granted by the grant suggestion effect (for example, The grant suggestion effect is executed (for example, FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b)) so that the expected value in FIG. 11 (a) becomes a specific period.
If the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the grant suggestion effect is not executed until the end of the first period. , The granted suggestion effect is executed after the end of the first period (for example, FIG. 12B).
When the grant suggestion effect is executed after the end of the first period, the period from the end of the first period to the suggestion of whether or not the second privilege is granted by the grant suggestion effect (for example, FIG. 12). The grant suggestion effect is executed so that the expected value of (b)) is shorter than the specific period (for example, FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), when a rare role is won during a period other than the first period, the battle effect A suggests whether or not CZ is given after the rare role is won. The battle effect A is executed so that the expected value of the period (FIG. 11 (a)) until the battle is performed is a specific period. Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, if the rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, the victory battle effect A is not executed until the end of the first period. After the first period ends, the victory battle effect A is executed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c), when the battle effect A is executed after the end of the first period, the battle effect A suggests whether or not the CZ is given after the end of the first period. The battle effect A is executed so that the expected value of the period (FIG. 12 (b)) until the battle is performed is shorter than the specific period.

In this way, by shortening the period from the end of the first period until the battle effect A suggests whether or not CZ is granted, the player's disappointment due to the fact that AT was not granted in the first period is reduced. Since it can be preferably reduced by the suggestion of CZ assignment, it is possible to maintain the player's attention to the game, which tends to decrease at the end of the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

(2-9) When the specific condition is satisfied when it is not the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the granted suggestion effect is produced after the specific condition is satisfied. The expected value of the period until the start of is the first predetermined period (for example, FIG. 12C).
When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the granted suggestion effect is started after the first period ends. The expected value of the period up to is a second predetermined period (for example, FIG. 12B) shorter than the first predetermined period.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the rare role is won and CZ is given when it is not the first period, from the time when the rare role is won until the victory battle production A starts. The expected value of the period (CZ precursor period) is the first predetermined period. Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, from the end of the first period to the start of the victory battle effect A. The expected value of the period (CZ precursor period) is the second predetermined period shorter than the first predetermined period. By doing so, the period from the end of the first period to the start of execution of the winning battle effect A is shortened.

(2-10) When the specific condition is satisfied when it is not the first period and the second privilege is given by the second privilege giving means, the expected value of the execution period of the given suggestion effect is It is the third predetermined period (for example, FIG. 12C).
When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is given by the second privilege giving means, the expected value of the execution period of the given suggestion effect is the third predetermined value. It is a fourth predetermined period shorter than the period (for example, FIG. 12B).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the rare role is won and CZ is given when it is not the first period, the expected value of the execution period of the winning battle effect A is the third predetermined value. The period. Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the rare role is won and CZ is given during the first period, the expected value of the execution period of the winning battle effect A is from the third predetermined period. It is a short fourth predetermined period. By doing so, after the end of the first period, the period until the effect result is notified in the winning battle effect A is shortened.

(2-11) When the specific condition is satisfied when it is not the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, after the specific condition is satisfied, the grant suggestion effect Is executed, and when the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the second privilege is granted after the first period ends. The given suggestion effect is executed in the same manner as when the grant suggestion effect is executed (for example, FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c)).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c), when a rare role is won and a CZ is given when it is not the first period, a winning battle effect is produced after the rare role is won. The same applies to the case where A is executed and the case where the rare role is won during the first period and the CZ is given, and the victory battle effect A is executed after the end of the first period. The victory battle effect A is executed in the mode. By doing so, it becomes easy to understand that the addition of CZ is suggested.

(2-12) When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the second privilege is granted after the first period ends. In the case where the granted suggestion effect is executed, if the specific condition is satisfied again after the end of the first period and before the granted suggestion effect is executed.
When the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means due to the establishment of the specific condition re-established, the grant based on the re-establishment of the specific condition after the execution of the grant suggestion effect is completed. A suggestive effect is executed (for example, FIG. 12B).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, there is a case where a rare role is won and a CZ is given during the first period, and a winning battle effect is produced after the first period ends. When A is executed, if the rare role is re-winned after the end of the first period and before the victory battle effect A is executed, CZ is given by re-winning the rare role. After the execution of the victory battle effect A is completed, the victory battle effect A based on the re-winning of the rare role is executed. By doing so, it is possible to suggest the addition of CZ again.

(2-13) The specific condition is satisfied during the first period, and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, and the second privilege is granted after the first period ends. In the case where the granted suggestion effect is executed, if the specific condition is satisfied again after the end of the first period and before the granted suggestion effect is executed.
If the second privilege is not granted by the second privilege granting means due to the establishment of the specific condition that is satisfied again, the grant-unsuggested effect based on the establishment of the specific condition again is not executed (for example, FIG. 12B). ).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, there is a case where a rare role is won and a CZ is given during the first period, and a victory battle effect is produced after the first period ends. When A is executed, if the rare role is re-winned after the end of the first period and before the victory battle effect A is executed, or if CZ is not given due to the re-winning of the rare role. The defeat battle production A based on the re-winning of the rare role is not executed. By doing so, the player is not given unnecessary disappointment due to the execution of the defeat battle production A.

(2-14) When the specific condition is satisfied, regardless of whether or not it is the first period, a specific condition establishment suggestion effect (for example, a rare combination winning suggestion effect) suggesting the establishment of the specific condition is performed. Further provided with a specific condition establishment suggestion effect means to be executed (for example, a process of executing a rare combination winning suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91).
When the specific condition is satisfied when it is not the first period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected at a ratio according to whether or not the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means ( For example, Fig. 8),
When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period, the specific condition is given at a predetermined ratio (for example, 100%) regardless of whether or not the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means. The mode of the establishment suggestion effect is selected (for example, FIG. 8).

Specifically, when the rare role is won, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a rare role winning suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the rare role regardless of whether or not it is the first period. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the rare combination is won when it is not the first period, the mode of the rare combination winning suggestion effect is selected at a ratio according to whether or not CZ is given (weak effect or weak effect). Strong production is performed). Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when a rare role is won during the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is set at a predetermined ratio (100%) regardless of whether or not CZ is given. Selected ("!" Production is performed).

For example, during the execution of the effect of inciting the grant of AT (first period), if the effect of inciting the grant of CZ such as a strong effect is performed, the player misunderstands that the AT is granted and grants the AT. May be expected. With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying and expecting in the first period. In this way, it is possible to preferably control the effect in a situation where the suggestion of granting AT and the suggestion of granting CZ are simultaneously performed.

(2-15) Further provided with a predetermining means (for example, a process of performing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result that allows derivation.
The specific condition is satisfied when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the specific determination result (for example, winning a rare combination).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the specific condition is satisfied when the rare combination is won. By doing so, the player can pay attention to which prize will be generated.

(2-16) When the specific condition is satisfied during the first period, the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is produced at a rate according to whether or not the first privilege is granted by the first privilege granting means. (For example, FIG. 11 (b)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, when a rare role is won during the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is set at a rate according to whether or not AT is granted. Selected (perform weak or strong effects). By doing so, it is possible to make the player expect the granting of AT depending on the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect.

(2-17) The first grant suggestion that can execute the first grant suggestion effect (for example, battle effect B) that derives whether or not the first privilege is granted in the first period as an effect result. Further provided with an effect means (for example, a process of executing the battle effect B by the sub control unit 91).
While the first grant suggestion effect is being executed, the specific condition establishment suggestion effect can be executed (for example, FIG. 10 (b2)).

Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the battle effect B that derives as an effect result whether or not AT is given in the first period. As shown in FIG. 10B, the rare role winning suggestion effect can be executed while the battle effect B is being executed. In this way, since the battle production B is not interrupted by the rare role winning suggestion production, the player's attention to the battle production B is not impaired.

(2-18) In the first period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected from the predetermined number (for example, 1) types of modes.
When it is not the first period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected from among the modes of a specific number (for example, 2) larger than the predetermined number (for example, FIG. 8).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the first period is set, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from one type of mode (“!” Production), and when it is not the first period, the mode is selected. The mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from the two types (weak effect and strong effect). By doing so, since other effects are not performed in various ways in the first period, the player's attention to the effects related to the granting of AT can be gradually increased.

(2-19) The first period is a first effect period in which the first grant suggestion effect is executed (for example, an execution period of the battle effect B) and a first period until the first effect period is controlled. Including precursor period (for example, AT precursor period)
During the first effect period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected from the modes of the first number (for example, 1).
When it is the first precursor period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected from the modes of the second number (for example, 2) that is larger than the first number.
When it is not the first period, the mode of the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is selected from among the modes of the third number (for example, 3) that is larger than the second number (FIG. 12 (d)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12D, the first period is an AT precursor until it is controlled by the execution period of the battle effect B in which the battle effect B is executed and the execution period of the battle effect B. Including the period. Further, during the execution period of the battle effect B, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from one type of mode (“!” Effect). Further, in the AT precursor period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from the two types (weak effect and strong effect). When it is not the first period, the mode of the rare role winning suggestion effect is selected from the three types (“!” Effect, weak effect, and strong effect). By doing so, since other effects are not performed in various ways in the first period, the player's attention to the effects related to the granting of AT can be gradually increased.

(2-20) In the first period, the specific condition establishment suggestion effect can be executed even when the specific condition is not satisfied (FIG. 9 (b1)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 (b1), in the first period, the rare combination winning suggestion effect can be executed even when the rare combination is not won. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the situation in which the rare role winning suggestion effect is executed.

(2-21) When the specific condition is satisfied and the second privilege is granted by the second privilege granting means, the ratio at which the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the second aspect is the second. Higher than the rate at which the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in one embodiment (FIG. 8).
When the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the second aspect, the grant suggestion effect is performed after the specific condition is satisfied, as compared with the case where the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the first aspect. The expected value of the period until it is suggested whether or not the second privilege is given is large (FIG. 13 (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the rare combination is won and CZ is given, the ratio of the strong effect being executed is higher than the ratio of the weak effect being executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the strong effect is executed, the period from when the rare role is won until it is suggested whether or not the CZ is given is longer than when the weak effect is executed. Expected value of CZ precursor period + execution period of battle production A) is large. By doing so, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the granting of CZ by executing the rare role winning suggestion effect for a long time.

(2-22) When the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the second aspect, after the specific condition is satisfied, as compared with when the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the first aspect. The expected value of the period until the start of the given suggestion effect is large (FIG. 13 (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the strong production is executed, the time from when the rare role is won to when the winning battle production A is started is compared with when the weak production is executed. The expected value of the period (CZ precursor period) is large. In this way, since the period from the winning of the rare role to the start of execution of the winning battle effect A becomes long, the player's expectation for the granting of CZ can be maintained for a long time.

(2-23) When the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the second aspect, the execution period of the granted suggestion effect is longer than when the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the first aspect. The expected value of is large (FIG. 13 (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the strong effect is executed, the expected value of the execution period of the victory battle effect A is larger than when the weak effect is executed. In this way, since the period from the start of the winning battle effect A to the notification of the effect result is long, the player's expectation for the granting of the CZ can be maintained for a long time.

(2-24) When the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the second aspect, after the specific condition is satisfied, as compared with when the specific condition establishment suggestion effect is executed in the first aspect. The expected value of the period until the start of the given suggestion effect is large, and the expected value of the execution period of the given suggestion effect is large (FIG. 13A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the strong production is executed, the winning battle production A is started after the rare role is won and CZ is performed, as compared with the case when the weak production is executed. The expected value of the period until the battle (CZ precursor period) is large, and the expected value of the execution period of the winning battle production A is large. In this way, the period from the winning of the rare role to the start of execution of the winning battle production A and the period from the start of the winning battle production A to the notification of the production result are long, so that the CZ It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the granting of.

(2-25) When the specific condition is satisfied, the second privilege is not granted by the second privilege granting means, and the grant non-suggestion effect is executed, the specific condition is satisfied and It is executed in the second aspect of the first aspect and the second aspect than when the second privilege granting means does not grant the second privilege and the granting no suggestion effect is not executed. The proportion is high (for example, FIG. 13 (b)).
