The sub control unit 91 receives a command transmitted from the main control unit 41 and performs various controls for performing the effect.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery that affects the advantage to the player such as the internal lottery and the AT lottery. The set value is composed of 6 stages 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.

In order to change the set value, it is necessary to turn on the power switch 39 of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by 1 (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is changed to 1). go back). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (set value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

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

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

Further, in this embodiment, in order to make it easy to recognize that the winning line LN has a combination of symbols constituting the winning, the invalid lines LM1 to 5 are set separately from the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to 5 are not determined to win by the combination of the symbols aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to 5, but when the combinations of the symbols constituting the winning are aligned with the winning line LN, the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 to 5 are not determined. By configuring the combination of suggestive symbols (for example, bell a-bell a-bell a) that suggests winning in any of 5 to be aligned, it is recognized that the combination of symbols constituting the winning is aligned in the winning line LN. It makes it easier to do.

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

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in this embodiment) from the time when the operation is performed for each stop switch. Is performed, and until the maximum stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of four frames of symbols can be drawn in. That is, in the stop control, one symbol from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbol up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, push order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , The re-game role (hereinafter, may be referred to as the navigation target role) can be won. The navigation target combination 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. Includes a combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping the advantageous stop mode is higher than that in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode accompanied by the awarding of medals, but also a stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous gaming state, a stop mode in which a transition to an unfavorable gaming state is avoided, and the like.

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

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

[About game status]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the game state to either a normal game state or a special game state. The normal gaming state includes a normal gaming state in which the winning of the BB is not carried over (inside inside) and a normal gaming state in which the winning of the BB is carried over (inside inside).

The normal game state (non-internal) is a state in which the BB is not won in the normal game state. This is a gaming state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is controlled by setting a new set value by shifting to the factory default state of the slot machine 1 or the setting change state. In addition, even when the special gaming state is terminated, it is controlled to the normal gaming state (non-internal). Then, the normal gaming state (non-internal middle) continues until the BB is won in the internal lottery, and ends when the BB is won in the internal lottery and shifts to the normal gaming state (internal middle).

The normal game state (inside) is a state in which the BB is carried over in the normal game state. It starts when the BB wins in the internal lottery in the normal game state (non-internal), continues until the winning BB wins, and the winning BB wins and shifts to the special game state. It ends with.

The special game state is a game state in which a BB wins a prize in the normal game state, and starts when the BB carried over in the normal game state (inside) wins a medal, and a predetermined end condition is satisfied ( In this embodiment, the game continues until the total number of medals paid out in the special game state exceeds 50), and the game ends when a predetermined end condition is satisfied and the game shifts to the normal game state (non-internal).

In this embodiment, when the special role and the small role are won at the same time, the control is performed so that the small role is prioritized and aligned, and when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time. Controls to make sure that the re-game combination is aligned. That is, when a small winning combination is won in the normal gaming state (inside), it becomes difficult to win the BB, and when the re-gaming combination is won, the BB is not won.

Also, in the normal game state (inside), one of the small wins or one of the re-games is always won, so once the game shifts to the normal game state (inside), it becomes difficult to win the BB, and the normal game state. After the transition to (inside), the normal gaming state (inside) is likely to be maintained. In addition, once the game shifts to the normal game state (internal), it becomes impossible to win the BB, and after the shift to the normal game state (internal), the set value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state. The normal gaming state (inside) may be maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized.

As described above, in this embodiment, since most of the games are controlled to the normal game state (inside), it is assumed that the game is controlled to the normal game state (inside), and the set value (this implementation). In the example, the medal payout rate is designed according to 1 to 6).

[About the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state (non-internal), replay A, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, 24 types of push order A, 12 The types of push order B and 12 types of push order B + BB are subject to the internal lottery. In the normal game state (non-internal), the winning probabilities of Replay A, Weak Cherry, Weak Watermelon, Strong Cherry, Strong Watermelon, Common Bell, Pushing Order A, Pushing Order B, and Pushing Order B + BB are about 1 each. Set to / 7.3, about 1/82, about 1/66, about 1/328, about 1/273, about 1/32, about 1 / 2.4, about 1/16, about 1 / 3.2 The probability of being unsuccessful (missing) is about 1/390.

In the normal game state (inside), replay A, replay B, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, 24 types of push order A, and 12 types of push order B are inside. It is subject to lottery. In the normal game state (inside), the winning probabilities of Replay A, Replay B, Weak Cherry, Weak Watermelon, Strong Cherry, Strong Watermelon, Common Bell, Push Order A, and Push Order B are about 1/7. 3, about 1/390, about 1/82, about 1/66, about 1/328, about 1/273, about 1/32, about 12.4, about 1 / 2.7 , The probability of unwinning (missing) is 0.

In the special game state, the replay A, the common bell, and the special bell are subject to the internal lottery. In the special game state, the winning probabilities of Replay A, the common bell, and the special bell are set to about 1/26, about 1 / 6.7, and about 1 / 1.4, respectively, and the probability of being unwinned (missing). Is about 1 / 9.7.

Push order combination A and push order combination B are combinations in which a plurality of small combinations (main small combination and sub-small combination in this embodiment) are elected, and stop operations are performed in the stop operation order corresponding to each push order combination. By performing, the main and small winning combination with the payout of 12 medals wins regardless of the stop operation timing, while the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the corresponding stop operation order, so that the stop operation is performed. Depending on the timing, the deputy small role with the payout of one medal wins, or the deputy small role does not win. That is, the expected value of the number of medals given changes depending on the difference in the stop operation order, and the expected value of the number of medals given changes by navigating the stop operation order corresponding to the winning push order combination. It's a small role.

Further, in this embodiment, the BB is always elected at the same time as the push order combination B, but at this time, since the control for deriving the small combination is prioritized over the control for deriving the combination of BB, the push order combination The reel stop control is common between the case where B + BB is won and the case where the push order combination B is won independently, and when the stop operations are performed in the same stop operation order and at the same timing, a common display result is obtained. Is derived, and it is not possible to distinguish between the case where the push order combination B + BB is won and the case where the push order combination B is won.

In addition, the lottery targets (including unwinned) of the internal lottery include unwinned, replay A, replay B, weak cherry, weak watermelon, strong cherry, strong watermelon, common bell, special bell, push order A, push order. Winning numbers 0 to 56 are assigned in the order of winning combination B and pushing order winning combination B + BB, and the winning numbers corresponding to the lottery results of the internal lottery are set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets (including unwinned) of the internal lottery are assigned the corresponding flags for shifting to the advantageous section from 0 to 4 and the lottery flags from 0 to 6, respectively, and the result of the internal lottery (winning number). The advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag according to the above are set in the RAM 41c. The advantageous section transition flag is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section and when performing a lottery (such as a state lottery at the time of transition described later) performed at the time of transition to the advantageous section. In addition, the lottery flag is referred to when determining whether or not to perform a lottery related to the granting of AT (first AT lottery, second AT lottery, point granting lottery, etc., which will be described later), and when performing a lottery related to the granting of AT. Will be done.

The advantageous section transition flag is assigned 0 to lottery targets other than the advantageous section transition combination, and the advantageous section transition combination is advantageous, for example, a plurality of types of push order combinations, a plurality of lottery targets with close winning probabilities, and the like. A common value is assigned to lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery (a state lottery at the time of transition described later) performed at the time of section transition. Therefore, when determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination from each winning number, and is used for the advantageous section transition. Whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination can be specified by whether or not the flag is 0. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery performed at the time of the advantageous section transition, instead of specifying the probability from each winning number, the probability according to the winning number is calculated from the value of the advantageous section transition flag. It is designed to be specified, and it is not necessary to set the probability for each winning number, and by setting the probability for each advantageous section transition flag, which is smaller than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. Can be identified.

The lottery flag is assigned 0 to the lottery targets that are not subject to the lottery related to the granting of AT (1st AT lottery, 2nd AT lottery, point lottery, etc. described later), and the lottery related to the granting of AT Regarding the target lottery target, a common value is assigned to the lottery target having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the granting of AT, for example, multiple types of push order combinations. ing. Therefore, when the main control unit 41 performs a lottery related to the granting of AT, it is not necessary to individually specify whether or not to perform the lottery from each winning number, and whether or not the lottery flag is 0 or not. It is possible to specify whether or not to perform a lottery related to the granting of AT. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery related to the granting of AT, the probability according to the winning number is specified from the value of the lottery flag instead of specifying the probability from each winning number. Therefore, it is not necessary to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each lottery flag that is smaller than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target can be specified. Can be done.

[About flag conversion]
After the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs a flag conversion process for converting the winning number set according to the result of the internal lottery into the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag.

FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing the control contents of the flag conversion process performed by the main control unit 41 in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6A, in the flag conversion process, the main control unit 41 first draws a lottery related to whether or not it is in the special gaming state, that is, it is not shifted to the advantageous section and the AT is given. It is determined whether or not the game is in an unaffected gaming state (Sa1).

When it is determined in Sa1 that the game is not in the special gaming state, the advantageous section transition flag conversion process for converting the winning number into the corresponding advantageous section transition flag is performed (Sa2).

In the advantageous section transition flag conversion process, the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the winning number is set by referring to the advantageous section transition flag conversion table in which the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the winning number is set. In the advantageous section transition flag conversion table, the advantageous section transition flag is set according to the winning number that is the target of the lottery in at least one of the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal). Regardless of whether it is in the normal gaming state (non-internal) or the normal gaming state (internal), the common advantageous section transition flag conversion table is used to convert the common advantageous section transition flag. By performing the processing, the winning number is converted into the advantageous section transition flag.

After the advantageous section transition flag conversion process of Sa2, the lottery flag conversion process of converting the winning number into the corresponding lottery flag is performed (Sa3).

In the lottery flag conversion process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning number is set by referring to the lottery flag conversion table in which the lottery flag corresponding to the winning number is set. In the lottery flag conversion table, a lottery flag is set according to the winning number to be drawn in at least one of the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal). The winning number is obtained by performing the common lottery flag conversion process using the common lottery flag conversion table regardless of whether the game state (non-internal) or the normal game state (internal). Is converted into a lottery flag.

After the lottery flag conversion process of Sa3, the flag conversion process is terminated and the process returns to the original process.

If it is determined in Sa1 that the game is in a special gaming state, 0 is set in the advantageous section transition flag regardless of the winning number (Sa4), and 0 is set in the lottery flag regardless of the winning number. (Sa5), the flag conversion process is terminated and the original process is restored.

As described above, in this embodiment, by performing the flag conversion process after the internal lottery, there is a possibility of shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section, and there is a possibility that a lottery related to the granting of AT may be performed. In the game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal), the winning number is converted into both the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag for each game.

In addition, in the case of a special gaming state in which there is no possibility of shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section and there is no possibility that a lottery related to the granting of AT will be performed, the flag for shifting to the advantageous section regardless of the winning number. Is set to 0, and 0 is set to the lottery flag regardless of the winning number. As a result, in the special game state, the advantageous section transition flag is confirmed to shift to the advantageous section. It is specified that the lottery is not performed, and by checking the lottery flag, it is specified that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed.

[About a modified example of flag conversion processing]
FIG. 6B is a flowchart showing the control contents of a modified example of the flag conversion process performed by the main control unit 41.

As shown in FIG. 6B, in the modified example of the flag conversion process, the main control unit 41 may first shift to an advantageous section, and the lottery related to the granting of AT is not normally performed. It is determined whether or not it is an interval (Sb1).

When it is determined in Sb1 that it is a normal section, it is determined whether or not it is a special gaming state, that is, whether or not it is a gaming state that does not shift to an advantageous section (Sb2).

When it is determined in Sb2 that the game is not in the special gaming state, the advantageous section transition flag conversion process for converting the winning number into the corresponding advantageous section transition flag is performed (Sb3), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is restored. Return.

Further, when it is determined in Sb2 that the game is in the special game state, 0 is set in the advantageous section transition flag (Sb4) regardless of the winning number, the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is restored.

Further, if it is determined in Sb1 that it is not a normal section, that is, if it is an advantageous section in which there is no possibility of shifting to an advantageous section and a lottery related to the granting of AT may be performed, it is in a special gaming state. It is determined whether or not, that is, whether or not the game is in a gaming state in which the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed (Sb5).

When it is determined in Sb5 that the game is not in the special game state, the lottery flag conversion process for converting the winning number into the corresponding lottery flag is performed (Sb6), the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is restored.

Further, when it is determined in Sb5 that the game is in the special game state, 0 is set in the lottery flag (Sb7) regardless of the winning number, the flag conversion process is terminated, and the original process is restored.

In this way, in the modified example of the flag conversion process, if there is a possibility of shifting to the advantageous section and the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed in the normal section, the winning number is for shifting to the advantageous section. If the section is converted into a flag, there is no possibility of shifting to the advantageous section, and the lottery related to the granting of AT may be performed, the winning number is converted into the lottery flag. It has become.

In addition, in the case of a special gaming state in which there is no possibility of shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section even in the normal section, 0 is set to the advantageous section transition flag regardless of the winning number. As a result, even in the normal section, when the game is in the special gaming state, it is specified by checking the flag for shifting to the advantageous section that the section does not shift to the advantageous section.

In addition, in the case of a special gaming state in which there is no possibility that a lottery related to the granting of AT will be performed even in an advantageous section, 0 is set in the lottery flag regardless of the winning number. Therefore, by checking the lottery flag, it is specified that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed even in the advantageous section in the special gaming state.

[About navigation notification and navigation production]
A mode of navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41 and a mode of navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

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

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

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

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

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

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 can control the game section to either a normal section or an advantageous section.

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

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

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

In the advantageous section, it is possible to perform navigation notification by satisfying a predetermined notification condition (in this embodiment, it is controlled to the AT state described later and the navigation target combination is won by an internal lottery). Then, the navigation notification is performed, so that the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, is notified.

The main control unit 41 controls the AT state in which the navigation notification is performed when the control is performed in the advantageous section. When the AT state is controlled, when the navigation target combination is won in the internal lottery, the navigation notification control (control to display the navigation display on the game auxiliary display 12 and navigation corresponding to the navigation display) It is possible to notify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, by performing control for transmitting a command capable of specifying the number, etc., and the advantageous section is compared with the normal section. This is an advantageous game section for the player.

The end condition 1 of the advantageous section is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of games in the advantageous section) reaches the first specified number (1500 games in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of games. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase / decrease in the number of medals changes from the decreasing tendency to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) set as the upper limit. Condition 2, termination condition 3 that is satisfied when a predetermined arbitrary condition (in this embodiment, the AT preparation state ends without shifting to the AT state, and the end condition of the AT state is satisfied) is satisfied. Is included, and the advantageous section is terminated when at least one of the termination conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied.

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

[Initialization due to setting change]
Next, the game state and the initialization of the game section due to the setting change will be described. The main control unit 41 initializes a part of the area stored in the RAM 41c as the setting shifts to the changed state. At this time, the information regarding the game state and the information regarding the game section are initialized.

The information about the game state includes the game state flag indicating the game state and the winning flag of the BB, and the information about the game state is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, so that the information before the transition to the setting change state is performed. Regardless of whether the game state is the normal game state (non-internal), the normal game state (internal), or the special game state, the game state flag and the BB winning flag are initialized, and the normal game is played. It will be controlled by the state (inside non-internal).

In addition, the information regarding the advantageous section includes a flag in the advantageous section indicating the advantageous section, and the information regarding the game section is initialized as the setting changes to the setting change state, so that the game section before the setting change state is entered. Regardless of whether is a normal section or an advantageous section, the advantageous section flag is initialized and controlled to the normal section.

[About the flow from the normal section to the AT state]
Next, the flow from the normal section to the control by the main control unit 41 to the AT state will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the game played in the normal section, when the advantageous section transition combination is won by the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section from the next game. In the advantageous section, it is controlled to a plurality of advantageous section states including a normal state, a CZ (chance zone) state, an AT preparation state, and an AT state.

In the normal state, the navigation notification is not performed, and in the AT lottery that determines whether or not to control the AT state, the ratio of determining the control to the AT state is low, and the control to the AT state is performed. Even if it is determined, it is not controlled to the AT state until the end condition of the normal state is satisfied, which is the most disadvantageous state for the player in the advantageous section. The CZ state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, but when the ratio of determining the control to the AT state in the AT lottery is higher than the normal state and it is determined to control the AT state, It is a state in which the AT state is controlled without waiting for the end condition of the CZ state, which is more advantageous for the player than the normal state. The AT preparation state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, and is a state in which navigation is controlled before shifting to the AT state. It should be noted that after the end of the normal state, the state is controlled even when the AT state is not controlled. The AT state is a state in which navigation notification is performed for a long period of time, and is the most advantageous state for the player in the advantageous section.

When the advantageous section transition combination is elected in the normal section and the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 performs the advantageous section transition process described later, and one of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is determined and determined. It shifts to the advantageous section state. The details of the advantageous section transition process will be described later.

The main control unit 41 controls the normal state when the transition to the normal state is determined along with the transition to the advantageous section, or when the first AT lottery, which will be described later, is not won in the CZ state. In the normal state, the main control unit 41 plays a periodic game that continues until the number of periodic games is reached, and either wins the end lottery at the start of the periodic game or the number of laps reaches the ceiling value. When the cycle game ends, the normal state is ended and the AT preparation state is controlled.

Further, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state when the transition to the CZ state is determined along with the transition to the advantageous section. The main control unit 41 performs a first AT lottery that determines whether or not to control the AT state every time a target combination (a lottery target whose lottery flag is other than 0) is won in the CZ state. In the first AT lottery, it is determined whether or not to control the AT state with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery, and when it is decided to control the AT state, if it is decided to control the AT state, An AT winning flag indicating that fact is set. Further, even in the second AT lottery performed in the normal state as described later, whether or not to control the AT state is determined with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery. However, in the first AT lottery, even if the result of the internal lottery is the same, it is determined with a higher probability that the AT state is controlled as compared with the second AT lottery. Then, when the first AT lottery is won in the CZ state, the main control unit 41 ends the CZ state after a precursory period of a predetermined number of games (5 games) and controls the AT preparation state. Further, after the start of the CZ state, the main control unit 41 ends the CZ state when the specified number of games (100 games in this embodiment) elapses without winning the first AT lottery, and controls the CZ state to the normal state. ..

Further, when the main control unit 41 decides to shift to the AT state with the shift to the advantageous section, when the normal state ends, or when the first AT lottery is won in the CZ state and the CZ state ends. In addition, it controls to the AT ready state. In the AT preparation state, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT state has been won in the first game, and when it is determined that the AT state has been won, that is, with the transition to the advantageous section, the AT If the transition to the state is decided, if the 2nd AT lottery or the 3rd AT lottery in the normal state is won, or if the 1st AT lottery in the CZ state is won, the AT preparation state will continue until 5 games have passed. Control, then control to AT state. In the AT ready state, the advantage of the AT state such as the number of games and the continuation rate of the subsequent AT state is determined. Further, when the main control unit 41 determines that the AT state has not been won in the first game in the AT preparation state, that is, when the second AT lottery or the third AT lottery in the normal state has not been won, the game is concerned. At the same time, the AT preparation state is terminated, and the advantageous section is also terminated to shift to the normal section.

Further, when the AT state is won, the main control unit 41 controls the AT state after the end of the AT preparation state. Then, after the end of the AT state, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section and shifts to the normal section.

[Advantageous section transition processing]
Next, the advantageous section transition process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIG. The advantageous section transition process is a process performed after the internal lottery process, and is performed every game.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the advantageous section transition process, first, the flag in the advantageous section is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the current game section is in the advantageous section (Sc1). When it is determined in Sc1 that the advantageous section is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section transition flag is 0 (Sc2). When it is determined in Sc2 that the advantageous section transition flag is 0, that is, when the advantageous section transition combination is not won, the advantageous section transition process is terminated. Further, when it is determined in Sc2 that the advantageous section transition flag is not 0, that is, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the advantageous section transition flag is set in the RAM 41c (Sc3). As a result, it will be controlled to an advantageous section from the next game.

After Sc3, a transition state lottery for selecting any one of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is performed (Sc4). In the transition state lottery, one of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is selected with a probability according to the advantageous section transition flag in the game. At this time, regardless of the game state, a common lottery process is performed using a common lottery table in which the winning probabilities of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state according to the advantageous section transition flag are determined. Then, the advantageous section state won in the transition state lottery is temporarily set in the RAM 41c (Sc5). When the AT state is won, the AT preparation state and the AT winning flag indicating that the AT state is won are temporarily set in the RAM 41c. Next, the advantageous section shift flag indicating that the shift has been made to the advantageous section is set in the RAM 41c (Sc6), and the advantageous section shift process is terminated.

Further, when it is determined in Sc1 that the advantageous section is in progress, it is confirmed whether or not the advantageous section transition flag is set, and it is determined whether or not it is the first game of the advantageous section (Sc7). If it is determined in Sc7 that it is not the first game of the advantageous section, the advantageous section transition process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in Sc7 that it is the first game in the advantageous section, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-internal) (Sc8).

When it is determined in Sc8 that the current gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-internal), the advantageous section state temporarily set in the RAM 41c is rewritten to the normal state (Sc9). At this time, since the area of the AT winning flag is also cleared, if the AT winning flag is provisionally set, the AT winning flag is also cleared. As a result, as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section, the normal state is determined regardless of the result of the transition state flag. On the other hand, when it is determined in Sc8 that the current gaming state is not the normal gaming state (non-internal), the advantageous section state temporarily set in the RAM 41c is maintained, and when the AT winning flag is provisionally set, the advantageous section state is maintained. , The AT winning flag is also maintained. As a result, the advantageous section state according to the result of the transition state lottery is determined as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section. After that, the advantageous section transition flag is cleared (Sc10), and the advantageous section transition process is completed.

In this way, in the advantageous section transition process, when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, the transition state lottery is performed in the game, and the advantageous section state selected in the transition state lottery starts from the next game. It is tentatively set as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section to be used, and in the first game of the advantageous section, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is determined according to the gaming state in the game. At this time, if the first game of the advantageous section is not in the normal gaming state (non-internal), it is selected in the transition state lottery, and the temporarily set advantageous section state is determined as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section. On the other hand, if the first game of the advantageous section is in the normal gaming state (non-internal), the normal section is uniformly determined as the advantageous section state of the advantageous section regardless of the result of the transition state lottery. ing.

[About the state lottery at the time of transition]
Next, the transition state lottery will be described. In the transition state lottery, one of the normal state, the CZ state, and the AT state is selected with a probability corresponding to the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section. Here, the first form and the second form having different selectivity of the advantageous section state will be described.

[About the state lottery at the time of transition of the first form]
The transition state lottery of the first form will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the transition state lottery of the first form, when the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section is any one of 1 to 3, that is, the advantageous section transition combination. When is the winner of only the general winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal) or the normal gaming state (internal) (see FIG. 5), either the CZ state or the AT state is selected. In particular, in the case of the advantageous section transition flag 1 corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination having a relatively high winning probability, the CZ state is selected with a 95% probability, and the AT state is selected with a 5% probability. On the other hand, in the case of the advantageous section transition flags 2 and 3 corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination having a relatively low winning probability, the AT state is selected with a higher probability than in the case of the advantageous section transition flag 1. In particular, in the case of the advantageous section transition flag 3 corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination having a low winning probability, the AT state is selected with a 100% probability.

Further, when the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section is 4, that is, the advantageous section transition combination is the simultaneous winning of the general combination and the special combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal). In the case (see FIG. 5), the normal state is selected with a 100% probability.

As described above, in the transition state lottery of the first form, if the gaming state is the normal gaming state (inside) in the normal section, the general combination and the special combination are not simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition combination, which is advantageous. Since the section transition flag 4 is never set and the advantageous section transition flag is always one of 1 to 3, either the CZ state or the AT state is always won by the transition state lottery. Further, as described above, in the normal gaming state (inside) in the first game of the advantageous section, the advantageous section state selected in the transition state lottery is maintained without rewriting the advantageous section state to the normal state. Therefore, when the CZ state is won by the transition state lottery, as shown in FIG. 11, the CZ state is temporarily set, and the CZ state is maintained as it is in the first game of the advantageous section, so that the advantageous section is maintained. The CZ state is determined as the advantageous section state of. Further, when the AT state is won by the transition state lottery, as shown in FIG. 12, the AT preparation state is temporarily set, and the AT preparation state is maintained as it is in the first game of the advantageous section, which is advantageous. The AT preparation state is determined as the advantageous section state of the section. Since the AT winning flag is also set at the same time, the AT state is controlled after the AT preparation state ends.

Further, in this embodiment, the game is controlled to the normal game state (inside) except immediately after the set value is changed, and when the game shifts to the normal section after the end of the AT state or in the normal state, the AT If the player does not win the state and shifts to the normal section with the end of the AT preparation state, then when the advantageous section shifter wins and shifts to the advantageous section, the transition to the CZ state or the AT state is always performed. It will be controlled to the AT preparation state to be confirmed. As a result, even after the end of the AT state or even if the AT state is not won in the normal state, it is possible to expect that the AT state will be controlled thereafter.

In this embodiment, as described above, the main control unit 41 initializes the information about the game section as it shifts to the setting change state, so that the setting value change operation is performed even when the main control unit 41 is controlled to the advantageous section. By performing the above, it is possible to end the advantageous section and control it to the normal section. In such a configuration, when the game state is maintained due to the transition to the setting change state, the normal game state (inside) is also maintained, so that the normal section is controlled according to the operation of changing the set value. Then, when the section shifts to the advantageous section after that, the CZ state or the AT state is controlled, so that it is possible to provide a favorable situation to the player with the change of the set value.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, by shifting to the setting change state, not only the information about the game section but also the information about the game state is initialized, and then the normal game state (non-internal) is controlled. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 13, even if the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, the CZ state or the AT state is won in the transition state lottery, and the CZ state or the AT preparation state is temporarily set, it is advantageous. The game state is confirmed in the first game of the section, and if the game state is the normal game state (non-internal), the temporarily set advantageous section state is uniformly rewritten to the normal state, so that the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is uniformly rewritten. Will be in the normal state

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal), the CZ state or the AT state is won in the transition state lottery, and the CZ state or the AT preparation state is obtained. If is provisionally set, even if the BB wins in the first game of the advantageous section and shifts to the normal gaming state (internal), the first game of the advantageous section will be in the normal gaming state (non-internal). , The temporarily set advantageous section state is rewritten to the normal state, and the advantageous section state of the advantageous section becomes the normal state.

Therefore, even if the advantageous section is terminated by the operation of changing the set value, it is prevented that the situation becomes advantageous for the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the general combination and the BB are simultaneously won as the advantageous section transition combination in the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal middle), the first game of the advantageous section is in the normal game state (non-internal). (Internal), the player wins in the transition state lottery, and the temporarily set advantageous section state is maintained. However, in the transition state lottery of the first form, the advantageous section transition combination is in the normal gaming state (non-internal). In the case of simultaneous winning of a general combination and a special combination in (middle), the normal state is selected with a 100% probability, and even in this case, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section becomes the normal state. Therefore, even if the advantageous section is terminated by the operation of changing the set value, it is prevented that the situation becomes advantageous for the player.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is determined based on the gaming state of the advantageous section 1st game. In such a configuration, the advantageous section 1st game is in the normal gaming state (non-advantageous section). If it is (internal), it is uniformly set to the normal state, and if it is the normal game state (internal), it is considered that the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is determined based on the result of the internal lottery of the first game of the advantageous section. Be done. However, in such a configuration, it is set when BB is elected as an advantageous section transition combination in the normal section, shifts to the advantageous section from the next game, and is controlled to the normal game state (inside). Even after the value is changed, it will be controlled to the CZ state or the AT ready state.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section as described above, the advantageous section state corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination is provisionally set, and the gaming state of the first game of the advantageous section is set. If is in the normal gaming state (non-internal), the normal state is uniformly set, and if the gaming state of the first game in the advantageous section is the normal gaming state (internal), the winning combination in the normal section is selected according to the advantageous section transition combination. Although the advantageous section state is maintained, there is a 100% probability that the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section will be won at the same time as the general combination and the special combination by the transition state lottery of the first form. Is temporarily set, and even if the advantageous section state is maintained after that, the advantageous section state of the advantageous section becomes the normal state. Therefore, after changing the set value, BB is elected as the advantageous section transition role in the normal section, and the next game. In addition to shifting from to the advantageous section, even when the game is controlled to the normal gaming state (inside the inside), it is prevented from becoming an advantageous situation for the player.

[About the production mode when shifting to an advantageous section]
Next, an effect mode when shifting to the advantageous section will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in the sub control unit 91, when the game section on the main control unit 41 side is the normal section and the game state is the normal game state (inside the inside), that is, in the subsequent advantageous section. When controlled to the CZ state or the AT preparation state, the CZ preparation effect is executed. The CZ preparatory effect is an effect that is different from the normal effect that is mainly executed in the normal state. In such a situation, when the advantageous section transition combination is won and the CZ state is won in the transition state lottery and controlled to the CZ state, as shown in FIG. 11, when the first game of the advantageous section is started. At the same time, the CZ effect is started, and the CZ effect peculiar to the CZ state is executed for a period controlled by the CZ state. Further, when the advantageous section transition combination is won and the AT state is won in the transition state lottery and controlled to the AT preparation state, as shown in FIG. 12, AT is AT at the same time as the start of the first game of the advantageous section. The preparatory effect is started, and the AT preparatory effect is executed for a period controlled by the AT preparatory state. The AT preparatory effect is an effect different from the normal effect and the CZ preparatory effect, and is an effect suggesting that the AT state is waiting for the start.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, in the sub control unit 91, the set value is changed on the main control unit 41 side, the game section is the normal section, and the game state is the normal game state (non-internal). In a certain case, that is, when the normal state is controlled in the subsequent advantageous section, the normal effect common to the normal state is executed. In such a situation, if the advantageous section transition combination is won and controlled to the normal state, the normal effect is continuously executed.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state (inside) in the normal section, that is, when the CZ state or the AT preparation state is controlled in the subsequent advantageous section, the CZ preparation effect is executed. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-internal) in the normal section, that is, when the normal state is controlled in the subsequent advantageous section, a normal effect different from the CZ preparation effect is executed. It has become like.

Further, the normal effect is executed in the normal state in the advantageous section, the CZ effect is executed in the CZ state in the advantageous section, and the gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-internal) in the normal section, that is, the subsequent advantage. When the section is controlled to the normal state, the normal effect common to the normal state is executed, and in such a situation, the advantageous section transition combination is won and the normal state is controlled. In, the normal production continues to be executed.

[About the state lottery at the time of transition of the second form]
The transition state lottery of the second form will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the transition state lottery of the second form, when the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section is any one of 1 to 3, that is, the advantageous section transition combination. The first point is that either the CZ state or the AT state is selected when is the winner of only the general combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal) or the normal gaming state (internal) (see FIG. 5). It is the same as the state lottery at the time of transition of the form.

On the other hand, when the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the advantageous section transition combination won in the normal section is 4, that is, the advantageous section transition combination is the simultaneous winning of the general combination and the special combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal). In the case (see FIG. 5), the CZ state is selected with a 100% probability, which is different from the transition state lottery of the first form.

In the transition state lottery of the first form, when the advantageous section transition combination is a simultaneous winning of a general combination and a special combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle), the normal state is selected with a 100% probability. However, in the transition state lottery of the second form, the advantageous section transition combination is the general combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle). In the case of simultaneous winning of a special role, the CZ state is selected with a 100% probability. Therefore, when only the general combination is won as the advantageous section transition combination in the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal), the advantageous section state is rewritten to the normal state in the first game of the advantageous section. , While the advantageous section state of the advantageous section becomes the normal state, it is shown in FIG. 17 only when the general combination and the BB are simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition combination in the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal middle). As described above, in the first game of the advantageous section, the advantageous section state is maintained, so that the advantageous section state of the advantageous section becomes the CZ state.

As described above, in the transition state lottery of the second form, when the general combination and the BB are simultaneously won as the advantageous section transition combination in the normal section and the normal game state (non-internal middle), the CZ state is controlled. Even if it shifts to the normal section due to the change of the set value, it may be controlled to the CZ state in the subsequent advantageous section. Therefore, even after the change of the set value, the CZ state is set. You can expect it to be controlled.

Further, in this embodiment, the push order combination B and the push order combination B are always won at the same time. At this time, the reels are stopped depending on whether the push order combination B + BB is won or the push order combination B is independently won. The control is common, and when the stop operation is performed in the same stop operation order and at the same timing, a common display result is derived, and the push order combination B + BB is won and the push order combination B is won. , Can not be determined. Therefore, even if the push order combination B and BB are won at the same time after changing the set value, it is not possible to distinguish the difference from the single win of the push order combination B from the display result. Therefore, after changing the set value, the push order combination Even if B shifts to an advantageous section by winning alone, it can be expected to be controlled to the CZ state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, when the set value of the sub control unit 91 is changed on the main control unit 41 side, the game section is the normal section, and the game state is the normal game state (non-internal). That is, when there is a high possibility that the normal state is controlled in the subsequent advantageous section, the normal effect common to the normal state is executed. In such a situation, when BB and the push order combination B are simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition combination and are controlled to the CZ state in the advantageous section, the normal effect is executed instead of the CZ effect. As a result, after the set value is changed, the push order combination B is independently elected as the advantageous section transition combination and is controlled to the normal state in the advantageous section, and the BB and the push order combination B are simultaneously elected as the advantageous section transition combination. Since it is not possible to distinguish between the case where the CZ state is controlled in the advantageous section and the case where the setting value is changed, the CZ state is controlled even when the push order combination B is independently elected to move to the advantageous section. You can expect it.

[About the flow in the normal state]
In the normal state, the main control unit 41 performs a periodic game that continues until the number of periodic games is reached, and either wins the end lottery performed at the start of the periodic game, or the number of periodic games (number of laps) is the ceiling value (this implementation). In the example, when 6) is reached and the cycle game ends, the normal state is ended.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the main control unit 41 plays a periodic game after shifting to the normal state. In the periodic game, a lottery for the number of periodic games to determine the number of periodic games is performed in the first game (S1), and the number of winning periodic games is set (S2). In the periodic game number lottery, one of a range of a plurality of games is selected with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery of the game, and the range of the selected number of games is further selected. The number of games is determined as the number of periodic games.

Next, when the number of laps since the start of the normal state has not reached the ceiling value (S3: N), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to end the normal state in the cycle game. A lottery is held (S4). In the end lottery, it is determined whether or not to end the normal state in the cycle game with a probability corresponding to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery of the game.

Then, when the number of laps since the start of the normal state has reached the ceiling value (S3: Y) or when the end lottery is won (S5: Y), the main control unit 41 performs the cycle game. Set an end flag indicating that the normal state is ended at the end of (S6).

After that, the main control unit 41 controls the AT state every time the target combination (lottery target other than the lottery flag 0) is won (S7: Y) until the number of periodic games set at the time of the periodic game is reached. A second AT lottery (S8) for deciding whether or not to do so, and a point lottery (S9) for giving points are performed.

In the second AT lottery, it is determined whether or not to control the AT state with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery, and when it is decided to control the AT state, if it is decided to control the AT state, An AT winning flag indicating that fact is set. Even if the AT winning flag is set, it is not controlled to the AT state at that time, and after that, by winning the end lottery or when the number of laps reaches the ceiling value, after the normal state ends, It will be controlled to the AT state.

In the point lottery, one of the point values (including 0) is selected from a plurality of types of point values (including 0) with a probability according to the lottery flag set according to the result of the internal lottery, and the selected point value is given. Will be done. The given point value is maintained even when the number of periodic games is reached and the periodic game ends, while it is initialized when the normal state ends and the advantageous section ends.

When the periodic game ends (S10: Y) and the end flag is not set (S11: N), the main control unit 41 returns to S1 and starts the periodic game again. On the other hand, when the periodic game ends (S10: Y) and the end flag is set (S11: Y), a third AT lottery for determining whether or not to control the AT state is performed (S12).

In the third AT lottery, it was decided whether or not to control the AT state with a probability according to the point value accumulated in the normal state, particularly with a higher probability as the point value is larger, and it was decided to control the AT state. In that case, an AT winning flag indicating that fact is set. As described above, the point value given in the point lottery is maintained for the period during which the normal state continues. Therefore, the longer the period controlled in the normal state, the more the point value is controlled in the third AT lottery. Is easier to determine.

After the third AT lottery, the main control unit 41 ends the normal state and controls the AT ready state. If the AT winning flag is set in the normal state, the advantageous section is continued thereafter. , While controlling to the AT state, if the AT winning flag is not set, the advantageous section is terminated and the normal section is shifted to.

In this way, in the normal state, the periodic game that continues until the number of periodic games is reached is performed, and the end lottery at the start of the periodic game is won, or the number of laps reaches the ceiling value, and the periodic game ends. By doing so, the normal state ends.

Further, in the periodic game, the second AT lottery is performed when the target combination is won, and at the end of the normal state, the third AT lottery is performed, and the second AT lottery is won or the third AT lottery is won. After the end of the state, it is controlled to the AT state through the AT preparation state.

In the second AT lottery, when the target combination is won in the periodic game, it is determined whether or not the target combination is controlled to the AT state with a probability according to the result of the internal lottery, and in the third AT lottery, the target combination is determined in the periodic game. Since it is determined whether or not the AT state is controlled with a probability according to the point value given according to the result of the internal lottery when winning, it is usually determined according to the result of the game in the normal state. After the end of the state, the rate controlled to the AT state will change.

Further, in the normal state, the sub control unit 91 can execute an AT winning suggestion effect suggesting the possibility that the AT state has been won when the second AT lottery is performed. The AT winning suggestion effect consists of multiple types of patterns, and the selection rate differs depending on whether or not the AT state is won, and there is a possibility that the AT state is won due to the difference in the AT winning suggestion effect pattern, that is, It is suggested that the AT state may be controlled after the end of the normal state.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an item effect for displaying an item suggesting that the AT state is likely to be controlled when the periodic game ends. The item effect is executed at a higher rate when the AT state is won than when the AT state is not won, and when the point value is equal to or more than the predetermined value, it is executed more than when the point value is less than the predetermined value. By executing the item effect, it can be expected that the AT state will be controlled after the end of the normal state. Further, as described above, even if the AT state is won, the AT state is not controlled until the normal state ends. Therefore, when the periodic game ends, the item effect is executed to continue the game. You can motivate yourself to do it.

[Regarding the production at the end of the normal state and the normal state]
The main control unit 41 controls the periodic game as described above when it is controlled in the normal state in the advantageous section.

Further, in the periodic game, the sub-control unit 91 executes a normal effect until the number of remaining games of the periodic game reaches a predetermined number of games (5 games), and the number of remaining games of the periodic game is the predetermined number of games (5 games). When becomes, a continuous effect is executed, which suggests the possibility that the normal state ends over the game in which the periodic game ends, and finally leads to an effect result indicating whether or not the normal state ends.

As shown in FIG. 19, at the end of the periodic game, if the end flag is not set, the main control unit 41 controls the periodic game again while continuing the normal state and the advantageous section.

At this time, the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (failure) that leads to an effect result indicating that the normal state is not finally terminated when the number of remaining games of the periodic game reaches a predetermined number of games (5 games). Execute, and then execute the normal effect again from the game in which the next periodic game starts.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the end flag is set at the end of the periodic game and the AT winning flag is set in the normal state, the main control unit 41 controls the AT preparation state for 5 games. After that, the AT state is controlled while the advantageous section is continued.

At this time, the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (success) that leads to an effect result indicating that the normal state is finally terminated when the number of remaining games of the periodic game reaches a predetermined number of games (5 games). A roulette effect that suggests that the game is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state in the first game in the AT ready state, and finally leads to the effect that the game is controlled to the AT state (the roulette effect). AT) is executed. After that, the AT preparation effect is executed until the AT preparation state ends, and when the AT state starts, the AT effect is executed.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the end flag is set at the end of the periodic game and the AT winning flag is not set in the normal state, the main control unit 41 is in the AT ready state for only one game. Control and then end the advantageous section. Then, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section again by winning the advantageous section transition combination in the normal section, and controls to the CZ state accordingly.

At this time, the sub-control unit 91 performs a continuous effect (success) that leads to an effect result indicating that the normal state is finally terminated when the number of remaining games of the periodic game reaches a predetermined number of games (5 games). A roulette effect that suggests that the game is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state in the first game in the AT ready state, and finally leads to the effect that the game is controlled to the CZ state (the roulette effect). CZ) is executed. After that, the CZ preparation effect is executed in the normal section until the transition to the advantageous section, and the CZ effect is executed by shifting to the advantageous section and starting the CZ state.

As shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 is controlled to the CZ state in the advantageous section, and when the AT state is won in the CZ state, the CZ state is reached until a predetermined number of games (5 games) have elapsed. Is controlled to the AT ready state for 5 games, and then controlled to the AT state while continuing the advantageous section.

At this time, when the AT state is won, the sub control unit 91 executes a continuous effect (success) that leads to an effect result indicating that the AT state is finally controlled, and then the AT preparation state ends. The AT preparation effect is executed until the AT state is started, and the AT effect is executed.

In this way, the main control unit 41 has an end flag set at the end of the periodic game, and when the normal state ends, if the AT state is won in the normal state, the AT for five games thereafter After controlling to the ready state, it is controlled to the AT state while continuing the advantageous section, but if the AT state is not won in the normal state, then it is controlled to the AT ready state for one game, and then it is advantageous. The CZ state is controlled by ending the section, shifting to the normal section, and shifting to the advantageous section again.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 suggests that when the periodic game ends in the normal state, the normal state may end before the predetermined number of games that the periodic game ends, and finally the normal state ends. A continuous effect that leads to an effect result indicating whether or not to perform is executed.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 is controlled in either the AT state or the CZ state in the first game in the AT preparation state, which is controlled regardless of whether the AT state is won or not after the normal state is completed. In addition to suggesting that the crab is controlled, a roulette effect that leads to an effect result that the CZ state is finally controlled or the AT state is controlled is executed.

The continuous effect is executed over 5 games until the game in which the periodic game ends, whereas the roulette effect ends in the first game in the AT ready state, that is, one game after the end of the normal state. That is, in the roulette effect, it is suggested that the normal state may end in the continuous effect, and after it is suggested that the effect is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state in a shorter period than the period in which the effect result is derived, the effect is produced. The results are being derived.

Further, the main control unit 41 controls the AT preparation period for one game even when the normal state ends and then the AT state is not controlled and the advantageous section ends, and then the advantageous section ends. During that time, the section is controlled to an advantageous section, and the section display LED 19 is lit. Therefore, after the normal state ends, until the next game ends, it is not possible to determine whether the advantageous section is continuously controlled to the AT state or is not controlled to the AT state and the advantageous section ends. It has become like.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not control the advantageous section to the AT state even when the advantageous section is continuously controlled to the AT state after the effect result that the normal state ends in the continuous effect is derived, and the advantageous section is not controlled. Even when terminating, a roulette effect suggesting that the advantage section is controlled to either the AT state or the CZ state is executed during the AT preparation period in which the advantageous section continues, and when the roulette is controlled to the AT state, the roulette is executed. In the production, the production result to that effect is derived.

Therefore, after the normal state ends and it is notified that the normal effect ends in the continuous effect, the advantageous section remains until it is notified whether or not the roulette effect controls the AT state during the AT preparation period. It is continued, and from the lighting mode of the section display LED 19, it cannot be determined whether the advantageous section is continuously controlled to the AT state or not controlled to the AT state and the advantageous section ends, and is controlled to the AT state. You can expect that.

Further, the main control unit 41 may win the AT state in the normal state and then be controlled to the AT state, or may win the AT state in the CZ state and then be controlled to the AT state. After controlling to the AT ready state of 5 games, it is controlled to the AT state. That is, in any case, the AT state is controlled by common control.

On the other hand, when the AT state is won in the normal state, the sub control unit 91 executes the roulette effect in the first game of the AT preparation state controlled after the end of the normal state, and controls the AT state by the roulette effect. After notifying that the AT preparation state is to be performed, the AT preparation state effect is executed until the AT preparation state ends, and then the AT effect is executed as the AT state starts, whereas the AT state is won in the CZ state. The AT preparation state effect is executed from the first game of the AT preparation state controlled after the end of the CZ state until the end of the AT preparation state, and then the AT effect is executed as the AT state starts. That is, the effect mode until the AT state starts differs depending on whether the AT state is won in the normal state or the AT state is won in the CZ state.

[About RT]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control a plurality of types of replay times (RT) in which at least one of the types of replaying combinations that are the targets of the internal lottery and the winning probability of the replaying combination is different.

As shown in FIG. 23, RT includes RT0 and RT1. In RT0, the setting value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state, so that the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized, or after being controlled by RT1, 200 games are exhausted and RT1 ends. It is controlled when you do. RT0 is in a normal gaming state (non-internal), and ends when a predetermined RT transition result stops at the winning line LN, and the RT1 shifts to RT1. Even when the RT transition result is stopped at the winning line LN, RT0 is maintained in the normal gaming state (inside the inside) or in the special gaming state.

The RT transition result may be, for example, a symbol combination in which no winning combination is won, a symbol combination in which any winning combination is won, or a combination of a plurality of types of symbols.

RT1 is controlled in RT0 when it is in a normal gaming state (non-internal) and a predetermined RT transition result is stopped at the winning line LN. After shifting to RT1, RT1 ends by digesting 200 games, and shifts to RT0.

At the end of each game, the main control unit 41 sends a command to the sub control unit 91 that can identify whether the next game is RT0 or RT1. The sub control unit 91 can specify whether the main control unit 41 side is controlled by RT0 or RT1 for each game.

In RT0 and RT1, as shown in FIG. 24, the probability that the AT state is selected in the transition state lottery by the main control unit 41 (AT probability at the transition to the advantageous section) and the winning probability of the end lottery in the normal state (end lottery). Probability) and the probability that it is determined to control the AT state in the 3rd AT lottery (3rd AT lottery probability) are different. The probability that the number of periodic games is selected in the periodic game number lottery by the main control unit 41, the probability that it is determined to control the AT state in the first AT lottery and the second AT lottery, and the probability of winning a small winning combination in the internal lottery are It is common to RT0 and RT1.

The probability that the AT state is selected by the transition state lottery in RT1 is set higher than the probability that the AT state is selected by the transition state lottery in RT0, and the end of the normal state is won by the end lottery in RT1. The probability is set higher than the probability that the end of the normal state is won by the end lottery in RT0, and the probability that the control to the AT state is won by the third AT lottery in RT1 is the AT state by the third AT lottery in RT0. The medal payout rate (number of medals granted / number of medals used) when controlled to RT0 is set to be higher than the probability of winning, and is 97% according to the set value. It is ~ 110%, and the medal payout rate when controlled by RT1 is 98% ~ 120% depending on the set value. That is, the case where it is controlled by RT1 is more advantageous to the player than the case where it is controlled by RT0.

Further, the difference between the advantage when controlled to RT0 according to the set value and the advantage when controlled to RT1 is different, and the more advantageous the set value for the player, the more according to the set value. The difference between the advantage when controlled by RT0 and the advantage when controlled by RT1 is set to be large.

Further, as shown in FIG. 24, the execution probability (setting suggestion) of the setting suggestion effect by the sub control unit 91 is different between RT0 and RT1. The setting suggestion effect is an effect that suggests a set value set on the main control unit 41 side, an effect that suggests the possibility of a specific set value, and whether the set value is an odd number or an even number. It includes a suggestive effect, an effect that suggests whether or not the set value is an advantageous setting, and the like. The content of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 is common to RT0 and RT1, and it is difficult to detect whether the effect is controlled by RT0 or RT1 due to the difference in the effect.

The probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT1 is set higher than the probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT0, and the case where it is controlled by RT1 is set higher than the case where it is controlled by RT0. It is easy to guess the set value.

Further, the setting suggestion effect includes a 6-probability effect that determines that the setting value 6 has the highest advantage, and the 6-probability effect is not executed when it is controlled by RT0, but is controlled by RT1. It is designed to be executed only when it is.

[Action effect 1]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 converts the winning numbers set according to the result of the internal lottery into the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag, which are smaller than the number of types of winning numbers. With such a configuration, the winning numbers set according to the result of the internal lottery are converted into the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag, which are smaller than the number of types of winning numbers. Therefore, the advantageous section transition flag By having the data corresponding to the or lottery flag, the data corresponding to each winning number is not required, so that the amount of data corresponding to the result of the internal lottery can be reduced.

In this embodiment, when the winning number is a winning number other than the advantageous section transition combination, the main control unit 41 converts the advantageous section transition flag to 0 and does not shift to the advantageous section in a special gaming state. Regardless of the type of winning number, the advantageous section transition flag is converted to 0, and when the advantageous section transition flag is 0, the advantageous section is not transferred to the advantageous section. With such a configuration, when a winning number that does not shift to the advantageous section is set based on the result of the internal lottery, the flag for shifting to the advantageous section is converted to 0, so that each type of winning number It is possible to specify not to shift to the advantageous section when the flag for shifting to the advantageous section is 0 without associating the information on whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. In addition, when the game is controlled to a special gaming state that does not shift to the advantageous section, the flag for shifting to the advantageous section is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, so whether or not it is in the special gaming state is determined. Without making a determination, when the advantageous section transition flag is 0, it is possible to specify not to shift to the advantageous section.

In this embodiment, the number of bets that are the conditions for starting the game in the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal) is only 3, but any of a plurality of bets. In a configuration in which the player can select the number of bets and start the game, if the game starts with a specific number of bets, the configuration does not shift to the advantageous section regardless of the result of the internal lottery. good. Then, in such a configuration, when the game starts with a specific number of bets, the advantageous section transition flag is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, and the advantageous section transition flag is 0. By making the configuration not to shift to the advantageous section, when the game is played with the number of bets that do not shift to the advantageous section, the flag for shifting to the advantageous section is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number. Therefore, it is possible to specify not to shift to the advantageous section when the flag for shifting to the advantageous section is 0 without determining whether or not the game is being played with a specific number of bets.

In this embodiment, when the winning number is a winning number that is not subject to the lottery related to the granting of AT, the main control unit 41 converts the lottery flag to 0 and draws related to the granting of AT. When the game is controlled to a special game state in which the game is not performed, the lottery flag is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, and when the lottery flag is 0, a lottery related to the granting of AT is performed. There is no configuration. With such a configuration, when a winning number that is not subject to the lottery related to the granting of AT is set based on the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flag is converted to 0, so that the winning number It is possible to specify that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed when the lottery flag is 0 without associating the information on whether or not the lottery related to the granting of AT is performed for each type. It becomes. Further, when the game is controlled to a special game state in which the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed, the lottery flag is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, so whether or not the game is in the special game state. When the lottery flag is 0, it is possible to specify that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed without determining.

In addition, as described above, in a configuration in which a player can select any number of bets from a plurality of bets and start the game, when the game is started with a specific number of bets, an internal lottery is held. Regardless of the result, the lottery related to the granting of AT may not be performed. Then, in such a configuration, when the game starts with a specific number of bets, the lottery flag is converted to 0 regardless of the type of winning number, and when the lottery flag is 0, AT is given. By configuring the game so that no related lottery is performed, if the game is played with a number of bets that does not cause a lottery related to the granting of AT, the lottery flag will be set regardless of the type of winning number. Since it is converted to 0, it is specified that the lottery related to the granting of AT is not performed when the lottery flag is 0 without determining whether or not the game is played with a specific number of bets. It becomes possible.

In this embodiment, the advantageous section transition flag determines whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination, that is, whether or not to shift to the advantageous section in the normal section, and the advantageous section transition performed when shifting to the advantageous section. In addition to being used for multiple processes of the occasional lottery, the lottery flag is used for multiple lottery related to the granting of AT (cycled game number lottery, end lottery, 1st AT lottery, 2nd AT lottery, point lottery). This is the configuration used. With such a configuration, since data corresponding to each result of the internal lottery is not required for a plurality of processes, the amount of data corresponding to the result of the internal lottery can be reduced.

In this embodiment, after the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs the advantageous section transition flag conversion process for each game to convert the winning number into the advantageous section transition flag, and also performs the lottery flag conversion process. The structure is such that the winning number is converted into a lottery flag. With such a configuration, it is common regardless of whether or not there is a possibility of shifting to an advantageous section and whether or not there is a possibility of a lottery related to the granting of AT. In any of the states, it is possible to obtain an appropriate advantageous section transition flag and lottery flag.

In this embodiment, the winning number is converted into both the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag for each game, but there is a possibility of shifting to the advantageous section and the AT is given. In the case of a normal section in which a related lottery is not performed, the advantageous section transition flag conversion process is performed to convert the winning number into the advantageous section transition flag, and there is no possibility of shifting to the advantageous section transition, and AT. When the lottery related to the granting of is an advantageous section, the lottery flag conversion process may be performed to convert the winning number into the lottery flag. , Appropriate of the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag, depending on whether it is in a state where there is a possibility of shifting to an advantageous section or a state in which a lottery related to the granting of AT may be performed. Can be converted to a flag.

In this embodiment, regardless of whether the main control unit 41 is in the normal gaming state (non-internal) or the normal gaming state (internal), a common advantageous section transition flag conversion table is used. By performing the common advantageous section transition flag conversion process, the winning number is converted into the advantageous section transition flag, and whether it is in the normal game state (non-internal) or the normal game state (internal). Regardless of this, the winning number is converted into the lottery flag by performing the common lottery flag conversion process using the common lottery flag conversion table. With such a configuration, even if the lottery targets of the internal lottery are different game states, the winning number can be converted into the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flag by the common conversion process.

[Action effect 2]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the game state to the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal game state (internal), and can control the game section to the normal section and the advantageous section. In the advantageous section, it is possible to control a plurality of advantageous section states including a normal state, a CZ state, and an AT state. Further, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section and shifts to the normal section by newly setting the set value by shifting to the setting change state by the operation of changing the set value. In addition, in the normal game state (inside inside), the push order combination B + BB that can shift to the normal game state (inside inside) and the push order combination B that cannot shift to the normal game state (inside inside) are selected by the internal lottery. In the normal game state (inside), the push order combination B + BB is not included in the lottery target of the internal lottery, the push order combination B is included in the lottery target of the internal lottery, and the main control unit 41 is in the normal section. In the internal lottery, both when the push order combination B + BB is won and when the push order combination B is won, the section is shifted to the advantageous section.

In addition to the point lottery in which the point value is given, the ratio of being controlled to the AT state changes after the end of the normal state depending on the results of the first AT lottery and the point lottery. With such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to the result of the game until the end condition is satisfied in the normal state.

In this embodiment, in the normal state, the AT state may be won, that is, the AT winning suggestion effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the AT state after the end of the normal state, or the AT state is controlled after the end of the normal state. It is a configuration that can execute an item effect that displays an item that suggests that there is a high possibility that the item will be displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to expect that the AT state will be controlled after the end of the normal state by executing the AT winning suggestion effect and the item effect.

In this embodiment, when the end condition of the normal state is satisfied, a continuous effect (success) that leads to an effect result indicating that the normal state is finally terminated is executed, and when the end condition of the normal state is satisfied. When the AT winning flag is not set, after the continuous production (success) is executed, only one game is controlled to the AT ready state, and then the advantageous section is terminated. With such a configuration, even if the AT state is not controlled after the continuous production (success) is executed and the advantageous section ends, the advantageous section continues until one game elapses, and the section is displayed. Since the lighting of the LED 19 continues, it can be expected that the LED 19 is controlled to the AT state.

In this embodiment, the AT winning flag is set when the end condition of the normal state is satisfied, and when the advantageous section is continued and the state shifts to the AT state, the continuous effect (success) is executed and then the AT preparation state is executed. In the first game of the above, the roulette effect (AT) that leads to the effect result that the AT state is finally controlled is executed. With such a configuration, after the continuous production (success) is executed, the AT state is not controlled, and even if the advantageous section ends, it may be notified that the AT state is controlled. Since the advantageous section continues until the first game in the AT preparation state elapses and the section display LED 19 continues to light up, it can be expected that the AT state will be controlled.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 wins the AT state in the normal state and shifts to the AT state, and the main control unit 41 wins the AT state in the CZ state and is controlled to the AT state. After controlling to the AT ready state, the AT state is controlled by the common control of controlling to the AT state, while the sub control unit 91 wins the AT state in the normal state and shifts to the AT state. , After executing the roulette effect, the AT preparation effect is executed, whereas when the AT state is won in the CZ state and the AT state is controlled, the roulette effect is executed without executing the roulette effect. The production mode until the AT state starts differs depending on the configuration, that is, the case where the AT state is won in the normal state and the state shifts to the AT state, and the case where the AT state is won in the CZ state and controlled to the AT state. It is a composition. With such a configuration, both when the AT state is won in the normal state and then controlled to the AT state, and when the AT state is won in the CZ state and then controlled to the AT state. , It is possible to diversify the production mode until the transition to the AT state while sharing the control until the transition to the AT state.

It is possible to shift to the AT state in the game state (inside). Further, the main control unit 41 can select and set any of the set values 1 to 6 having different advantages for the player, and can change the setting in the normal game state (internal). By shifting to the state, the set value is newly set, and by initializing the winning flag of the carried-over BB, the winning of the BB is controlled to the normal gaming state (non-internal) in which the winning is not carried over.

Then, the main control unit 41 can be controlled to RT0 or RT1, and is controlled to RT1 by stopping the RT transition result at the winning line LN in the normal gaming state (non-internal), and is controlled to RT1 in the normal gaming state (internal). ), Even if the RT transition result stops at the winning line LN, it is not controlled by RT1, and in RT0 and RT1, the probability that the AT state is selected in the transition state lottery (AT probability at the time of transition to the advantageous section), the normal state The probability of winning the end lottery (end lottery probability), the probability of determining to control the AT state in the third AT lottery (third AT lottery probability), etc. is there.

With such a configuration, the set value is newly set by shifting to the setting changed state, and depending on whether or not the RT transition roll has stopped at the winning line LN by the time the BB is carried over. After that, since the advantage regarding whether or not to control the AT state in the normal game state (inside) is different, the advantage is changed depending on whether or not the RT transition roll is stopped at the winning line LN by the time the BB is carried over. Can be made to.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to terminate RT1 by controlling it to RT1 and then digesting 200 games. With such a configuration, after the set value is newly set by shifting to the setting change state, if the RT transition roll stops at the winning line LN before the BB is carried over, then after that, By playing 200 games, the advantage can be further changed.

In this embodiment, the advantage regarding whether or not to control the AT state in RT1 is higher than the advantage regarding whether or not to control the AT state in RT0. With such a configuration, it can be expected to shift to the AT state by being controlled by RT1.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 has a configuration in which the probability that the AT state is selected by the state lottery at the time of transition differs depending on whether the section shifts to the advantageous section at RT1 or the advantageous section at RT0. With such a configuration, after the set value is newly set by shifting to the setting changed state, it is advantageous depending on whether or not the RT transition roll is stopped at the winning line LN by the time the BB is carried over. It is possible to change the ratio controlled to the AT state when shifting to the section.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of specifying whether the next game is RT0 or RT1 to the sub control unit 91 for each game at the end of the game. Is. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform control according to whether or not the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by RT1 for each game.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 has a configuration capable of performing a common effect in RT1 and RT0. With such a configuration, it becomes difficult to detect from the production whether or not it is controlled by RT1.

In this embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination in the internal lottery is the same for RT0 and RT1. With such a configuration, even if the probability of winning the control to the AT state differs depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0, the winning probability of the small winning combination in the internal lottery is common to RT0 and RT1. Therefore, the advantage does not change excessively depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0.

In this embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination in the internal lottery is common to RT0 and RT1, but the winning probability of the small winning combination in the internal lottery may be approximated by RT0 and RT1. Even with such a configuration, the advantage does not change excessively depending on whether it is RT1 or RT0.

In this embodiment, the difference between the advantage when controlled by RT0 and the advantage when controlled by RT1 is different depending on the set value. With such a configuration, it is possible to change the difference in advantage depending on whether or not it is controlled by RT1 according to the set value.

In this embodiment, the setting suggestion effect suggesting the set value set on the main control unit 41 side can be executed, and the probability that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT1 is such that the setting suggestion effect is executed in RT0. The configuration is set higher than the probability. With such a configuration, the difficulty level of estimating the set value can be changed by the setting suggestion effect depending on whether or not it is controlled by RT1.
