Abstract

To provide a slot machine improved in connection with control when power is supplied.SOLUTION: Also when power starts to be supplied again and when a main control part does not shift to a setting change state and a cycle period is restored from the middle of the N-th cycle before power interruption, the main control part shifts to a setting change state. Also when a control state is initialized and a cycle period starts from the beginning of the 0-th cycle following a shift to an advantageous section, a sub-control part cannot identify a current frequency, a grid type corresponding to MAP, a cycle pointer value, and a grid type designated by the cycle pointer value, and executes an initial performance in a mode in which even a degree of progress of the cycle pointer value cannot be identified. The sub-control part starts an initial performance from a normal section when the main control part shifts to a setting change state and control is performed to a normal section after the control state is initialized, and then is controlled to the normal section following a shift from the normal section to the advantageous section, and continues the initial performance even if the cycle period starts from the beginning of the 0-th cycle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 20

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). Return). 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 (millisecond) 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 from the symbol when the stop switch is operated to 4 frames ahead, 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. For this reason, the BB is prevented from winning even when the small winning combination is won in the normal gaming state (inside the inside) or when the re-gaming combination is 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), the BB does not win and the normal game state (inside) After the transition to (internal), the normal gaming state (internal) is maintained.

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, Approximately 1/390, Approximately 1/82, Approximately 1/66, Approximately 1/328, Approximately 1/273, Approximately 1/32, Approximately 12.4, Approximately 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 (CZ lottery 1 or the like described later) performed at the time of the advantageous section transition. Further, the lottery flag is referred to when determining whether or not to perform a lottery related to the granting of AT (CZ lottery 2, AT lottery 1, AT lottery 2, 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 a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when the lottery (CZ lottery 1 described later) performed at the time of section transition is performed. 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 (CZ lottery 2, AT lottery 1, AT lottery 2, etc., which will be described later), and the lottery related to the granting of AT. For the lottery targets that are the targets of, for example, a common value is assigned to the lottery targets that have common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the granting of AT, such as multiple types of push order combinations. Has been done. 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 navigation notification and navigation production]
A mode of navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41 and a mode of navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

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

On the other hand, in the game in which the stop mode advantageous to the player can be specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 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 assistance display 12) that suggests the existence is displayed on the game assistance display 12.

On the other hand, in the game in which the navigation number "1" is specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has a stop mode advantageous to the player in the left middle right stop operation. Navi image 1 suggesting that there is (for example, "1" is displayed in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8L in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and "2" is displayed in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8C. In a game in which the liquid crystal display 51 displays "3" in the display area corresponding to the stop switch 8R) and the navigation number "2" is specified, the stop mode is advantageous for the player. In a game in which a navigation image 2 suggesting that is a left / right middle stop operation is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the navigation number “3” is specified, a stop mode that is advantageous for the player is the middle / left / right stop operation. 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, in the navigation notification, the operation order (correct answer pressing order) is notified as the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player, but the player is notified by the navigation notification. The configuration may suggest the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player, or may be the configuration which suggests the combination of the operation order and the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which are advantageous for the player. For example, when the operation mode of the stop switch 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. 7, 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 of the advantageous section is the end condition 1 which 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. , Termination condition 2 that is established when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to an increasing trend in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) set as the upper limit, 2. Conditions (In this embodiment, the cycle period described later ends with the CZ stock in the normal state, and the CZ lottery 2 is won in the normal state when the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than 200 games. The end condition 3 that is satisfied when the AT state is satisfied while having the CZ stock is included, and the advantageous section is terminated when at least one of the end conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied.

Whether or not the number of advantageous section games has reached the first specified number is determined by setting the counter value to 0 when shifting to the advantageous section, adding the counter value for each game, and setting the counter value to the first specified number. The configuration may be such that it is determined that the first specified number has been reached by reaching the first specified number, or the first specified number is set as the initial value of the counter value when shifting to the advantageous section, the counter value is subtracted for each game, and the counter value It may be determined that the first specified number has been reached when the value becomes 0. Further, in the determination of whether or not the net increase in the number of medals after the change in the advantageous section has exceeded the second specified number, the counter value is set to 0 when the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section changes in the increasing tendency. Then, the counter value is added by the increase of medals and the decrease of medals is subtracted for each game, and the net increase of medals after the counter value exceeds the second specified number and changes to an increasing tendency in the advantageous section. May be configured to determine that the number exceeds the second specified number, or when the net increase in the number of medals in the advantageous section changes to an increasing tendency, the second specified number is set as the initial value of the counter value, and the counter value is set as the medal for each game. It may be configured to subtract the increase amount of the medals and add the decrease amount of the medals, and determine that the net increase number of medals after the counter value changes to an increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number. ..

Further, in the present 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 about the game section includes a flag in the advantageous section indicating the advantageous section, and the information about the game section is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, so that the game section before the transition to the setting change state is performed. Regardless of whether is a normal section or an advantageous section, the flag in the advantageous section is initialized and controlled to the normal section.

In addition, the information about the game section includes information related to the AT state (advantageous section state, CZ stock, etc., which will be described later), and is set by initializing the information about the game section with the transition to the setting change state. Regardless of whether the game section before shifting to the changed state is a normal section or an advantageous section, the information related to the AT state is initialized, and the information related to the previous AT state is not inherited. ing.

[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. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, 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 controls the advantageous section from the next game. In the advantageous section, it is mainly controlled to a plurality of advantageous section states including a normal state, a CZ (chance zone) state, and an AT (assist time) state.

The normal state is a state in which the navigation notification is not performed and the state does not shift to the AT state, 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 it is a state in which it can be determined in the AT lottery to control the AT state, and when it is determined to control the AT state, the CZ state ends. It is a state in which the AT state is controlled when the condition is satisfied, which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. Further, the CZ state includes a CZ state 1 and a CZ state 2, and the CZ state 2 is easier to win the AT lottery than the CZ state 1, and the CZ state is easier than the CZ state 1. 2 is more advantageous for the player. 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 won in the normal section and the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section, if the gaming state of the first game of the advantageous section is the normal gaming state (non-internal), the main control unit 41 controls the normal state. However, if it is in the normal gaming state (inside the inside), it is controlled to the CZ state.

In this embodiment, the game state is initialized according to the setting change, and the game state is controlled to the normal game state (inside inside) except when the game state is controlled to the normal game state (inside inside). It is not controlled to the normal game state (non-internal), and in the normal game state (non-internal), it shifts to the normal game state (internal) with a probability of about 1 / 3.2, so the setting is changed. Except for the latter, the gaming state of the first game of the advantageous section is the normal gaming state (inside). Therefore, except after the setting change, when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section and the game shifts to the advantageous section, It will always be controlled to the CZ state.

On the other hand, after the setting is changed, it will be controlled to the normal game state (inside inside), and then, before the push order combination B + BB is won and shifts to the normal game state (inside inside), another advantageous section transition combination When is elected and shifts to an advantageous section, it is controlled to the normal state. In addition, after the setting is changed, when the push order combination B + BB is elected as the advantageous section transition combination and shifts to the advantageous section, it means that the game has already shifted to the normal gaming state (inside) in the first game of the advantageous section. In this case, it will be controlled to the CZ state.

Further, the main control unit 41 performs a CZ lottery 1 for determining either the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 with the transition to the advantageous section, and the game state of the first game of the advantageous section is the normal game state (inside). When it is controlled to the CZ state, it is controlled to one of the CZ state 1 and the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 1.

The main control unit 41 performs a CZ lottery 2 that determines whether or not to control the CZ state according to the result of the internal lottery (lottery flag) in the normal state, and when the CZ lottery 2 is won, the advantageous section If the number of remaining games (the number of games until reaching the first specified number) is 200 games or more, the normal state is terminated, the delay period between the next game and the two games is controlled, and after the delay period, it is advantageous. The CZ state is controlled while the section is continued. In the CZ lottery 2, in addition to whether or not to control the CZ state, when controlling to the CZ state, it is determined whether to control the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2. When the main control unit 41 wins the CZ lottery 2 and is controlled to the CZ state, the main control unit 41 controls one of the CZ state 1 and the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 2.

Further, when the CZ lottery 2 is won in the normal state, the main control unit 41 ends the normal state if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than 200 games, and ends the advantageous section at the end of the next game. , Move to the normal section. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game. At this time, since the gaming state is the normal gaming state (inside), it is controlled to either the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 1.

In addition, the main control unit 41 performs a CZ stock lottery to determine whether or not to grant CZ stock, which is the right to control the CZ state according to the result of the internal lottery (lottery flag) in the normal state, and CZ stock. If the lottery is won, the CZ stock will be set. Then, when the cycle period described later ends, the main control unit 41 is in a normal state when the CZ stock is set or the cycle period of the specified number of laps (5 times in this embodiment) ends. Ends, ends the advantageous section at the end of the next game, and shifts to the normal section. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game. At this time, since the gaming state is the normal gaming state (inside), it is controlled to either the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 1.

Further, the main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery for determining whether or not to control the AT state every time the target combination (lottery target whose lottery flag is other than 0) is won in the CZ state. The AT lottery includes an AT lottery 1 performed in the CZ state 1 and an AT lottery 2 performed in the CZ state 2. In the AT lottery 1 and the AT lottery 2, it was decided 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 it was decided to control the AT state. In that case, an AT winning flag indicating that fact is set. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8 (c) and 8 (d), even if the results of the internal lottery are the same, it is determined with a high probability that the AT lottery 2 controls the AT state more than the AT lottery 1. To. In particular, in the AT lottery 2, when the result of the internal lottery belongs to the lottery flags 3 to 6, it is determined that the AT state is controlled with a 100% probability. Then, when the specified number of games (20 games in this embodiment) has elapsed after the start of the CZ state, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT lottery 1 or the AT lottery 2 has been won in the CZ state. If it is determined that the AT lottery 1 or the AT lottery 2 has been won, the CZ state is terminated and then the AT state is controlled. Further, when it is determined that the AT lottery 1 or the AT lottery 2 has not been won, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state to the normal state after ending the CZ state.

Further, in the AT state, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to an increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds 1000 or the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than 200 games, the main control unit 41 increases the CZ stock. 1 Set. Then, if the CZ stock is not set at the end of the AT state, the main control unit 41 controls the normal state while continuing the advantageous section after the end of the AT state. On the other hand, if the CZ stock is set at the end of the AT state, the normal state is ended, the advantageous section is ended at the end of the next game, and the normal section is shifted. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game. At this time, since the gaming state is the normal gaming state (inside), it is controlled to either the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 1.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section is performed, the game state of the first game of the advantageous section is controlled to the CZ state when the game state is the normal game state (inside). When the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 performs a first transition control for shifting to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section, and ends the advantageous section and temporarily controls the normal section. After that, it is possible to perform the second transition control of shifting to the CZ state by shifting to the advantageous section again.

Further, in the present embodiment, the CZ state includes the CZ state 1 and the CZ state 2 which is easier to win the AT lottery than the CZ state 1, and the first transition to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section. When controlling, the CZ lottery 2 performed in the normal state determines whether the CZ state 1 is controlled or the CZ state 2 is controlled according to the result of the internal lottery (lottery flag) in the normal state. Is determined. That is, when shifting to the CZ state by the first transition control, the advantage of the CZ state that shifts thereafter changes according to the result of the game in the advantageous section before it is determined to control the CZ state in the advantageous section. It is supposed to do.

On the other hand, in the case of performing the second transition control of terminating the advantageous section, controlling the normal section once, and then shifting to the advantageous section again to shift to the CZ state, after shifting to the normal section, the advantageous section is set again. Whether the CZ lottery 1 accompanying the transition is controlled to the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 according to the result of the internal lottery (flag for the advantageous section transition) that triggers the transition to the advantageous section. Is determined. That is, when the CZ state is shifted by the second shift control, the advantage of the CZ state that is subsequently shifted is changed according to the result of the game that triggers the shift to the advantageous section again. At this time, with the end of the advantageous section, the information related to the AT state including the result of the game of the advantageous section is initialized and is not inherited, so that it is decided to control the CZ state in the advantageous section. The result of the game in the previous advantageous section does not affect the advantage of the CZ state controlled in the subsequent advantageous section.

Further, in this embodiment, if the CZ state is won by the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, or if the CZ stock is won by the CZ stock lottery, the CZ state is controlled. Whether or not to control the CZ state is determined according to the result of the internal lottery in the state, and the transition condition to the CZ state is satisfied only by winning the CZ state in the CZ lottery 2. That is, when the CZ state is won in the CZ lottery 2, the condition for shifting to the CZ state is satisfied in one game. On the other hand, even in the CZ stock lottery, whether or not to control the CZ state is determined according to the result of the internal lottery in the normal state, but the condition for shifting to the CZ state after waiting for the end of the cycle period described later. Will be established. That is, when the CZ stock is won in the CZ stock lottery, it takes a plurality of games for the condition for transition to the CZ state to be satisfied.

Then, in this embodiment, when the CZ state is won by the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 games or more, the first method of shifting to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section. If the number of games remaining in the advantageous section is less than 200 games, the transition control is performed, the advantageous section is terminated, the normal section is once controlled, and then the transition to the advantageous section is performed again to shift to the CZ state. I do. On the other hand, when the CZ stock is won by the CZ stock lottery in the normal state and the cycle period ends, the advantageous section is always terminated regardless of the number of remaining games in the advantageous section, and the normal section is once controlled. After that, the second shift control for shifting to the CZ state is performed by shifting to the advantageous section again.

Further, when the CZ stock is won by the CZ stock lottery in the normal state and the CZ state is controlled by the end of the cycle period, the CZ state is performed in the CZ lottery 1 performed in association with the transition to the advantageous section. Whether it is controlled by 1 or the CZ state is determined, and in the CZ lottery 1, as shown in FIG. 8A, the winning combination of the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 1 is won. Occasionally, the probability that CZ state 1 is determined is 95%, the probability that CZ state 2 is determined is 5%, and the probability that CZ state 1 is determined when the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 2 is won. Is 50%, the probability that CZ state 2 is determined is 50%, and when the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 3 is won, the probability that CZ state 1 is determined is 0%, and CZ state 2 is determined. If the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 3 is elected, the 100% CZ state 2 is determined, but considering the winning probability of the advantageous section transition combination, the advantageous section transition combination is used. The ratio (CZ2 ratio) in which the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the flag 1 is elected and the CZ state 2 is determined is about 4.8%, and the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 2 is elected and the CZ state 2 is determined. Is determined (CZ2 ratio) is about 1.4%, and the ratio (CZ2 ratio) in which the advantageous section transition combination belonging to the advantageous section transition flag 3 is elected and the CZ state 2 is determined is about 0.7%. The ratio controlled to the CZ state 2 (total CZ2 ratio) when shifting to the advantageous section is about 7%.

On the other hand, when the CZ lottery 2 is won and controlled to the CZ state, it is first determined whether the CZ lottery 2 is controlled to the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2. In addition, in the CZ lottery 2, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the winning combination belonging to the lottery flag 5 is won, the probability that the CZ state 1 is determined is 25%, and the probability that the CZ state 2 is determined is 25%. Is 25%, and when a winning combination belonging to the lottery flag 6 is won, the probability that the CZ state 1 is determined is 30%, the probability that the CZ state 2 is determined is 10%, and the winning combination belonging to the lottery flag 5 The rate at which CZ state 2 is determined (CZ2 rate) is 50% when is won and controlled to the CZ state (when either CZ state 1 or CZ state 2 is determined), and belongs to the lottery flag 6. When the winning combination is won and controlled to the CZ state (when either the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 is determined), the ratio of determining the CZ state 2 (CZ2 ratio) is 25%, and in the CZ lottery 2. The rate at which the CZ state 2 is determined when controlled to the CZ state (CZ2 rate) is at least 25%.

Therefore, the condition for winning the CZ lottery 2 and the condition for shifting to the CZ state is higher than the case where the CZ stock is won by the CZ stock lottery in the normal state and the condition for shifting to the CZ state is satisfied by the end of the cycle period. When is satisfied, the rate at which the CZ state 2 is determined is higher, which is advantageous for the player.

Then, when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, the advantageous section is once terminated and the information related to the AT state is initialized, so that the CZ state 2 is won in the CZ lottery 2. However, in this embodiment, the CZ stock is won by the CZ stock lottery in the normal state, and the transition condition to the CZ state is satisfied by the end of the cycle period. The second transition control always ends the advantageous section once, and then shifts to the advantageous section again to control the CZ state, whereas the CZ lottery 2 is won and the transition condition to the CZ state is set. When it is established, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 games or more, the first transition control is controlled to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section, and the CZ state 2 in the CZ lottery 2 When is determined, then it becomes possible to control the CZ state 2 based on the result of the CZ lottery 2, so that the first transition is performed as compared with the case where the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control. It is more advantageous for the player when the CZ state is controlled by the control.

Further, in this embodiment, when the number of advantageous section games reaches the first specified number, the advantageous section ends, and the number of remaining games in the advantageous section until the number of advantageous section games reaches the first specified number. If is controlled to the CZ state in an extremely small amount, the AT state will be terminated immediately even if the AT state is subsequently controlled. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the CZ lottery 2 is won and the transition condition to the CZ state is satisfied, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than 200G, the advantageous section is terminated. , The number of games controlled to the AT state even if it is controlled to the AT state after that by performing the second transition control to shift to the CZ state by once controlling to the normal section and then shifting to the advantageous section again. Is sufficiently secured.

Further, in this embodiment, it is possible not only to shift from the normal state to the CZ state, but also to shift to the CZ state after the end of the AT state when the CZ stock is set in the AT state. As described above, when shifting from the normal state to the CZ state, the first transition control controls the advantageous section while continuing the advantageous section, and the second transition control ends the advantageous section and temporarily shifts to the normal section. There are cases where the CZ state is controlled by controlling and then shifting to the advantageous section again, whereas when shifting to the CZ state after the end of the AT state, the advantageous section is always terminated by the second transition control. Then, it is controlled to the normal section once, and then it is controlled to the CZ state by shifting to the advantageous section again. As a result, even if the AT state is further controlled after the end of the AT state, the AT state is reached. The number of games controlled by is sufficiently secured.

Further, in this embodiment, when the net increase in the number of medals after the change in the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number, the advantageous section ends, and the medals until the number exceeds the second specified number. If the net increase is controlled to the CZ state with an extremely small number of sheets, the AT state will be terminated immediately even if the AT state is subsequently controlled. On the other hand, in the AT state, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds 1000, the CZ stock is set and the medals are shifted to the CZ state at the end of the AT state. There is. Therefore, in this embodiment, when shifting to the CZ state at the end of the AT state, the advantageous section is always terminated by the second transition control, once controlled to the normal section, and then shifted to the advantageous section again to perform the CZ. The state is controlled so that the amount of increase in medals can be sufficiently secured even when the AT state is further controlled after the end of the AT state.

[About normal condition]
Next, the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13.

In the normal state, the CZ lottery 2 and the CZ stock lottery are performed as described above, and the CZ lottery 2 is won or the CZ stock is won in the CZ stock lottery, and the cycle period described later ends. By doing so, the normal state ends and the state shifts to the CZ state. Of these, the probability that the CZ stock will be won in the CZ stock lottery differs depending on the scenario selected for each predetermined cycle period, the MAP selected according to the scenario, and the mass type specified by the cycle pointer according to the MAP.

The scenario is a combination of MAPs in which the cycle pointer, which is updated in a certain range according to the result of the game, is sequentially changed every one round, and is set in the scenario table assigned to the ROM 41b. In the scenario table, as shown in FIG. 10A, a MAP number capable of specifying the MAP applied in each cycle of the 0th to 6th laps constituting the scenario is set for each scenario number. There is.

The MAP is a combination of mass types specified by the periodic pointer, and is set in the MAP table assigned to the ROM 41b. In the MAP table, as shown in FIG. 10B, a mass type corresponding to each value of 1 to 10 that can be taken by the cycle pointer is set for each MAP number.

The mass type is data that defines the winning probability of the CZ stock lottery (CZ stock lottery table) and the update value of the cycle pointer, and is set in the mass table assigned to the ROM 41b. As shown in FIG. 10 (c), the mass table includes a CZ stock lottery table in which the winning probability of the CZ stock lottery is specified for each of a plurality of types of mass types, and game results (loss, bell winning, strong / weak). The update value of the cycle pointer is set for each cherry winning, strong / weak watermelon winning, replay A / B winning).

As shown in FIG. 10C, the mass types are mass type A to which a low probability table in which the winning probability of CZ stock is set low is applied as the CZ stock lottery table, and CZ stock winning as the CZ stock lottery table. The mass types B and C to which the high probability table set with high probability is applied include the mass types B and C to which the high probability table is applied as the CZ stock lottery table, and the mass types B and C to which the high probability table is applied are low probability tables as the CZ stock lottery table. Is more advantageous to the player than the mass type A to which is applied.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), among the square types B and C to which the high probability table is applied as the CZ stock lottery table, in the square type B, the cycle pointer is always used regardless of the result of the game. Is updated and changed to another mass type, whereas in mass type C, the cycle pointer is updated only when replays A and B win, and if it is another result, the mass type is changed. Since it is maintained and the high probability table is applied as the CZ stock lottery table in the next game, the mass type C is more advantageous to the player than the mass type B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the MAP includes MAPs 1 to 3 having different combinations of mass types applied according to the period pointer. The ratios of the mass types A to C are different between MAPs 1 to 3, and the advantage for the player is MAP1 <MAP2 <MAP3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, the scenario includes scenarios 1 to 8 in which the combination of MAPs applied differs depending on the number of cycles. In scenarios 1 to 8, the ratios of MAPs 1 to 3 are different, and the advantage for the player is scenario 1 <scenario 2, 3 <scenario 4, 5 <scenario 6, 7 <scenario 8.

[Control flow under normal conditions]
Next, the flow of control performed by the main control unit 41 in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG.

When the normal state starts (S1), the main control unit 41 first sets 0 for the number of scenario laps assigned to the RAM 41c (S2), and performs a scenario lottery to select one of the scenarios from a plurality of scenarios. (S3), the scenario number selected in the scenario lottery is set in the RAM 41c (S4). In the scenario lottery, the scenario may be selected with a uniformly set selection rate, or as a result of the internal lottery of the game in which the scenario lottery was performed, the scenario number selected in the previous cycle period, up to that point. The scenario may be selected with a selection rate according to the game history in the normal state of.

Next, the main control unit 41 sets 0 for the number of cycles assigned to the RAM 41c (S5), and sets 1 for the cycle pointer also assigned to the RAM 41c (S6). Next, the scenario number set in the RAM 41c and the MAP number corresponding to the number of cycles are acquired from the scenario table and set in the RAM 41c (S7).

After that, each time the internal lottery is performed in each game (S8), the main control unit 41 performs the CZ lottery 2 according to the result of the internal lottery (S9), and the MAP number / cycle pointer set in the RAM 41c. The mass type is specified from the MAP table according to the above, the CZ stock lottery table set in the mass table corresponding to the specified mass type is set in the RAM 41c (S11), and the CZ stock lottery table is used in the set CZ stock lottery table. A stock lottery is conducted (S12). Then, when the CZ lottery 2 is won (S10: Y), the normal state is terminated, and the state is shifted to the CZ state by the first shift control or the second shift control described above (S23).

Further, when the main control unit 41 wins the CZ stock lottery (S13: Y), the main control unit 41 sets the CZ stock in the RAM 41c (S14). Next, at the end of the game, the main control unit 41 identifies the mass type from the MAP table according to the MAP number / cycle pointer set in the RAM 41c, and cycles from the mass table according to the specified mass type and the result of the game. The update value of the pointer is acquired, and the periodic pointer is updated based on the acquired update value (S15).

Then, if the updated cycle pointer is 10 or less (S16: N), the main control unit 41 proceeds to S8 and repeats S8 to S16 without changing the MAP number. On the other hand, when the updated cycle pointer exceeds 10 (S16: Y), the number of cycles is added by 1 (S17), and when the number of cycles after addition is 6 or less, the process proceeds to S6 and the cycle pointer is restarted. Is set to 1, and the scenario number set in the RAM 41c and the MAP number corresponding to the number of cycles after addition are acquired from the scenario table, set in the RAM 41c, and S8 is based on the newly set MAP number. ~ S16 is performed.

Then, when the number of cycles after addition exceeds 6 (S18: Y), that is, when all the MAPs from the 0th to the 6th laps corresponding to the selected scenario are completed, a plurality of main control units 41 are used. It is controlled to the production period over the game (3 games in this embodiment) (S19), the cycle period ends at the end of the production period, and the scenario lap number is added by 1 (S20), and the scenario lap number after the addition is less than 5. Yes (S21: N), if the CZ stock is not set (S22: N), the process proceeds to S3, a scenario lottery is performed again, and a cycle period based on the newly selected scenario is started.

Further, in the main control unit 41, although the number of scenario laps after addition is 5 (S21: Y) or the number of scenario laps after addition is less than 5 (S21: N), CZ stock is set. In the case (S22: Y), the normal state is terminated, and the state is shifted to the CZ state by the second shift control described above (S23).

[Regarding the control status of the main control unit and sub control unit in the normal state]
Next, the control status of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 in the normal state will be described with reference to FIG.

The main control unit 41 performs a scenario lottery for each cycle period to which one scenario is applied in the normal state, and selects one of scenarios 1 to 8. In the cycle period, every time the cycle pointer updated according to the result of the game makes one round, the MAP is changed to the corresponding cycle MAP determined according to the scenario. As described above, since the advantage varies depending on the type of MAP, the advantage can change according to the scenario every time the cycle pointer makes one round in one cycle period. In one cycle period, the MAP changes in the period from the 0th to the 6th lap, and the advantage may change each time. When the cycle pointer makes one lap and the period of the sixth lap ends, the main control unit 41 controls the production period of three games, and if the CZ stock is won in the cycle period or after the start of the normal state, the scenario When the number of laps reaches 5, the control is performed to shift to the CZ state, while when the CZ stock is not won in the cycle period and the number of scenario laps does not reach 5 times. , Select a scenario again in the scenario lottery and control it in the next cycle period.

Further, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not it is an advantageous section, the type of the advantageous section state in the advantageous section, the type of the scenario in the cycle period in the normal state, and the cycle period based on the command from the main control unit 41. It is possible to specify the number of cycles of the cycle pointer, the type of MAP, the cycle pointer, the mass type specified by the cycle pointer, and whether or not the effect period is set. Then, the sub control unit 91 executes the normal effect and the CZ suggestion continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 when the main control unit 41 is controlled to the normal state.

The normal effect is an effect executed in the period of the 0th to 6th laps in the cycle period, and includes an initial effect and a square effect. The CZ suggestion continuous effect is an effect executed in the effect period after the end of the sixth lap of the cycle period, suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state over the effect period, and finally the CZ state. It is a production that notifies whether or not it is controlled by.

The sub-control unit 91 executes the initial effect in the period of the 0th lap in the cycle period regardless of the type of MAP corresponding to the 0th lap of the scenario, and in the period of the 1st to 6th laps, each cycle of the scenario. Performs a grid effect according to the type of MAP corresponding to the number.

In the initial effect, as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the current number of cycles, the mass type according to the MAP, the cycle pointer, and the mass type specified by the cycle pointer cannot be specified from the image of the liquid crystal display 51. , That is, the degree of progress of the periodic pointer, that is, the elapsed period from the time when a new MAP is selected and the periodic pointer becomes the initial value cannot be specified. The sub-control unit 91 performs start control with the start of a new cycle period due to the start of a normal state or the end of one cycle period. In the start control accompanying the start of the cycle period, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of "start" together with the image of the initial effect to suggest the start of the cycle period. At this time, it is assumed that no image of the treasure box, which will be described later, is displayed in the specific area of the liquid crystal display 51.

Further, in the initial effect, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the treasure box effect in which the image of the treasure box appears on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 12B, and the treasure box effect is executed. Each time, an image of a treasure box is added and displayed in a specific area of the liquid crystal display 51. The sub-control unit 91 can execute the treasure chest effect in each game in the period of the 0th lap. As shown in FIG. 12 (c), the execution rate differs depending on the type of scenario, and the higher the advantage of the scenario, the higher the execution rate of the treasure chest effect. The more times is executed, the more likely it is that the scenario is advantageous to the player. Therefore, the treasure chest effect is executed, and the image of the treasure chest displayed in a specific area of the liquid crystal display 51 is added. As a result, the advantage of the cycle period is gradually suggested. In this embodiment, the advantage of the cycle period is suggested stepwise by the number of times the treasure box effect is executed. For example, the cycle period is changed stepwise by changing the background color or the color of the item. It may be a configuration that suggests the advantage of.

As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the square effect can specify the current number of cycles, the square type according to the MAP, the cycle pointer, and the square type specified by the cycle pointer from the image of the liquid crystal display 51. This is an effect in which the degree of progress of the periodic pointer, that is, the elapsed period from the time when a new MAP is selected and the periodic pointer becomes the initial value can be specified. In the square effect, the current number of cycles is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the same number of squares as the value that the cycle pointer can take are displayed in succession. In each cell, the cell type corresponding to the current MAP is displayed so that it can be specified, and by displaying the character in the cell corresponding to the cycle pointer, the cell type specified by the cycle pointer is specified. It has become so. Further, in the square effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays whether or not the CZ stock lottery table in the square type specified by the cycle pointer has a high probability, and the update value of the cycle pointer according to the result of the game. The degree of update of the cycle pointer according to the advantage of the mass type specified by the cycle pointer and the result of the game can be specified. As described above, the advantage for the player differs depending on the type of MAP. Therefore, in the square effect, the square type corresponding to the MAP is displayed in a series of displayed squares so that the current square type can be specified. The advantage of MAP in the number of cycles is suggested, and the square type specified by the cycle pointer is specified by the square in which the character is displayed, so that the advantage in each game is also suggested.

In this way, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to the normal state on the main control unit 41 side, in the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period, the current number of cycles, the mass type according to the MAP, and the cycle The initial effect of the mode in which the mass type specified by the pointer and the periodic pointer cannot be specified is executed, and in the 1st to 6th laps of the periodic period, the current number of cycles, the mass type according to the MAP, the periodic pointer, and the periodic pointer are displayed. The grid effect in a mode that allows the specified mass type to be specified is executed. In the effect period after the end of the sixth lap, the CZ suggestion continuous effect is executed, and the CZ state is executed at the timing when the cycle period ends. It is designed to notify whether or not it is controlled by.

[Regarding the control status when shifting to the CZ state]
Next, the control state at the time of shifting to the CZ state will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17.

As shown in FIG. 14, the main control unit 41 is set when the CZ stock is set when the cycle period ends, or when the cycle period of the specified number of laps (5 times in this embodiment) ends. , The second transition control for shifting to the CZ state is performed by ending the advantageous section, controlling the normal section once, and then shifting to the advantageous section again. At this time, the main control unit 41 ends the normal state, ends the advantageous section at the end of the next game, and shifts to the normal section. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game and controls the CZ state.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes a CZ suggestion continuous effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state over three games during the effect period of the cycle period, and controls the CZ state at the end of the game at the end of the cycle period. Execute CZ winning notification to notify the fact. After that, the sub-control unit 91 starts the CZ preparation effect (normal) at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed. The CZ preparation effect (normal) is an effect of displaying a background image peculiar to the CZ preparation effect (normal) and a message indicating that the state is waiting for the start of the CZ state on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the main control unit 41 side is still controlled to the advantageous section, the section display LED 19 is in the lit state, the advantageous section ends at the end of the game in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) has started, and the normal section ends. The section display LED 19 goes out with the transition to.

After that, the sub control unit 91 continues until the advantageous section transition combination is elected on the main control unit 41 side, shifts to the advantageous section and is controlled to the CZ state, shifts to the advantageous section, and is controlled to the CZ state. The CZ preparation effect (normal) is ended at the timing when the game start operation is performed, and the CZ effect is started. On the main control unit 41 side, the section display LED 19 lights up at the timing of shifting to the advantageous section and shifting to the CZ state. Therefore, at the timing when the sub control unit 91 ends the CZ preparation effect (normal) and starts the CZ effect. , The advantageous section has already started, and the section display LED 19 is lit.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the main control unit 41 wins the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, and even when the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than 200 games, the advantageous section is terminated and the normal section is temporarily executed. The second transition control is performed to shift to the CZ state by shifting to the advantageous section again. At this time, the main control unit 41 ends the normal state, ends the advantageous section at the end of the next game, and shifts to the normal section. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game and controls the CZ state.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes a CZ suggestion effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state in the game won in the CZ lottery 2, and notifies that the game is controlled to the CZ state at the end of the game. Execute notification. After that, the sub-control unit 91 starts the CZ preparation effect (normal) at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed. In this case as well, the main control unit 41 side is still controlled to the advantageous section, the section display LED 19 is in the lit state, and the advantageous section ends at the end of the game in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) has started, which is normal. The section display LED 19 turns off with the transition to the section.

After that, the sub control unit 91 continues until the advantageous section transition combination is elected on the main control unit 41 side, shifts to the advantageous section and is controlled to the CZ state, shifts to the advantageous section, and is controlled to the CZ state. The CZ preparation effect (normal) is ended at the timing when the game start operation is performed, and the CZ effect is started. As described above, on the main control unit 41 side, since the section display LED 19 lights up at the timing of shifting to the advantageous section and shifting to the CZ state, the sub control unit 91 ends the CZ preparation effect (normal) and performs the CZ effect. At the start timing, the advantageous section has already started, and the section display LED 19 is lit.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section even when the CZ stock is set at the end of the AT state, controls the normal section once, and then changes to the advantageous section again. A second transition control is performed to shift to the CZ state by shifting. At this time, the main control unit 41 ends the AT state, ends the advantageous section at the end of the second game, and shifts to the normal section. After that, when the advantageous section transition combination is won, the main control unit 41 controls the advantageous section from the next game and controls the CZ state.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, the sub-control unit 91 executes the AT effect (normal) until the game that triggers the setting of the CZ stock in the AT state, and serves as the trigger for the CZ stock to be set. After the game, it is suggested that the CZ state is controlled after the end of the AT state by executing the AT effect (special) suggesting that the CZ stock is set before the end of the AT state. It has become like. Then, the sub-control unit 91 performs an AT result notification effect for notifying the result of the AT state (the period of the AT state, the net increase in the number of medals from the start of the AT state, etc.) from the end of the end game of the AT state to the next game. Run. After that, the sub-control unit 91 starts the CZ preparation effect (special) at the timing when the start operation of the next game of the game in which the AT result notification effect is executed is performed. Unlike the CZ preparation effect (normal), the CZ preparation effect (special) is an effect of displaying a background image of the AT result notification effect and a message indicating that the state is waiting for the start of the CZ state on the liquid crystal display 51. is there. Also in this case, the main control unit 41 side is still controlled to the advantageous section, the section display LED 19 is in the lit state, and the advantageous section ends at the end of the game in which the CZ preparation effect (special) has started, which is normal. The section display LED 19 goes out with the transition to the section.

After that, the sub control unit 91 continues until the advantageous section transition combination is elected on the main control unit 41 side, shifts to the advantageous section and is controlled to the CZ state, shifts to the advantageous section, and is controlled to the CZ state. The CZ preparation effect (special) is ended at the timing when the game start operation is performed, and the CZ effect is started. As described above, on the main control unit 41 side, since the section display LED 19 lights up at the timing of shifting to the advantageous section and shifting to the CZ state, the sub control unit 91 ends the CZ preparation effect (special) and performs the CZ effect. At the start timing, the advantageous section has already started, and the section display LED 19 is lit.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 wins the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, and when the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 games or more, the main control unit 41 enters the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section. The first migration control to be migrated is performed. At this time, the main control unit 41 ends the normal state, controls the delay period between the next game and the two games, and after the delay period, controls the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes a CZ suggestion effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled to the CZ state in the game won in the CZ lottery 2, and notifies that the game is controlled to the CZ state at the end of the game. Execute notification. After that, the sub-control unit 91 starts the CZ preparation effect (normal) at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed.

After that, the sub control unit 91 continues until the delay period of the two games ends and is controlled to the CZ state on the main control unit 41 side, and the CZ is performed at the timing when the game start operation controlled to the CZ state is performed. The preparatory production (normal) is finished, and the CZ production is started. Since the main control unit 41 side is continuously controlled to the advantageous section even after the end of the normal state, the CZ preparation effect (normal) ends even at the timing when the CZ preparation effect (normal) starts, and the CZ effect is produced. The section display LED 19 is also lit at the timing of starting.

As described above, in this embodiment, when shifting to the CZ state in the advantageous section, the first transition control for shifting to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section is terminated and the normal section is temporarily set. There is a case where the second transition control is performed to shift to the CZ state by controlling and then shifting to the advantageous section again.

In the second transition control, after being notified that the control to the CZ state is performed, the advantageous section is terminated, the control is once performed in the normal section, and then a preparation period for shifting to the advantageous section is required during that period. The preparatory production (normal) is to be executed.

On the other hand, the first transition control does not require a preparation period as in the second transition control, but even when the first transition control is performed, a delay corresponding to the preparation period is delayed after being notified that the CZ state is controlled. In addition to controlling the period, the CZ preparation effect (normal) common to that executed in the preparation period is executed during that period, and whether it is controlled to the CZ state by the first transition control or the second transition control. It is difficult to recognize whether the CZ state is controlled by the above.

Further, both the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the first transition control and the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the second transition control are from the next game of the game in which the CZ winning notification is executed to notify that the CZ state is controlled. It is supposed to be started.

Further, the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the second transition control starts from the timing when the advantageous section ends and the game start operation that triggers the transition to the normal section is performed, and the advantageous section transition combination is elected, which is advantageous. Since the game is executed until the start operation of the game controlled to the CZ state after shifting to the section and the winning probability of the advantageous section shifting combination is about 1 / 1.0, the CZ preparation effect (normal) is , It will be executed over a period of about 2 games on average. On the other hand, when the first transition control is performed, the delay period between the two games is controlled, and the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the first transition control is executed over the period of the two games. That is, the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the first transition control is executed for substantially the same period as the CZ preparation effect (normal) in the second transition control.

Further, in the first transition control, since the advantageous section is continued, the section display LED 19 is lit at both the start timing and the end timing of the CZ preparation effect (normal). On the other hand, in the second transition control, the advantageous section is temporarily ended, but the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section in the game after the CZ preparation effect (normal) is started, and controls the advantageous section to the normal section. , The sub-control unit 91 is designed to end the CZ preparation effect (normal) after shifting to the advantageous section, and also in the second transition control, the timing at which the CZ preparation effect (normal) starts and ends. At both timings, the section display LED 19 is turned on.

Further, the main control unit 41 can not only shift from the normal state to the CZ state, but also shift from the AT state to the CZ state, and the sub control unit 91 shifts from the AT state to the CZ state. Is designed to execute a CZ preparation effect (special) different from the CZ preparation effect (normal) that is executed when shifting from the normal state to the CZ state. In the CZ preparation effect (special), since the background image of the AT result notification effect is used as the background image, continuity with the AT state is suggested, and it is possible to expect the acquisition of more medals following the AT state. It has become like.

[Regarding the control status of the CZ state]
Next, the control state of the CZ state will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state for a specified number of games (20 games) after the start of the CZ state, and as shown in FIG. When the number of games elapses and the CZ state ends, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won, and if the AT lottery has been won, the AT state is controlled after the CZ state ends. On the other hand, when the AT lottery is not won, as shown in FIG. 18B, the control is performed in the normal state after the CZ state is completed.

The sub control unit 91 shifts from the normal section after the setting change to the advantageous section, and is controlled to the CZ state on the main control unit 41 side, except when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to the CZ state. As shown in b), the CZ state effect peculiar to the CZ state is executed for a period from the start of the CZ state to the remaining 3 games. Then, in the period from the time when the specified number of games becomes 3 games to the end of the CZ state after the specified number of games elapses, the AT suggestion continuous effect suggesting the possibility of winning the AT state is executed, and the CZ is executed. When the AT lottery is won in the state and the AT state is controlled after the CZ state, as shown in FIG. 18A, the AT state is reached at the end of the game in which the specified number of games has elapsed and the CZ state ends. The AT winning notification is executed to notify that the game is to be controlled, and the AT effect peculiar to the AT state is started at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed. On the other hand, when the AT lottery is not won in the CZ state and the game is controlled to the normal state after the CZ state, as shown in FIG. 18B, the game in which the specified number of games elapses and the CZ state ends. At the end of the game, the AT non-winning notification is executed to notify that the AT state is not controlled, and the normal effect is started at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed.

[Control status at the start of power supply]
Next, the control status at the start of power supply will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 22.

As shown in FIG. 19, when the control state of the main control unit 41 is cut off in the middle of the Nth lap of the cycle period in the normal state and the power supply is restarted, the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state. Instead, when returning to the state before the power failure, it returns from the middle of the Nth lap of the cycle period before the power failure. At this time, even if the sub-control unit 91 executes the square effect corresponding to the Nth lap of the cycle period before the power failure, the sub-control unit 91 starts the same start control as at the start of the normal state in the first game after the return. And perform the initial production from the beginning. As described above, the initial effect is an effect executed in the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period, and the current number of cycles, the mass type according to the MAP, the cycle pointer, and the mass type specified by the cycle pointer can be specified. However, it is an effect in which the progress of the periodic pointer cannot be specified.

After that, the sub control unit 91 continues the initial effect even if the main control unit 41 side ends the period of the Nth lap of the cycle period, the period of the N + 1 lap of the cycle period ends, and the N + 2nd lap of the cycle period ends. Along with the start of, the square production corresponding to the N + 2nd lap is executed. At this time, the sub control unit 91 identifies that the cycle pointer has reached the initial value (0) and that the number of cycles has changed from the N + 1 lap to the N + 2 lap based on the command from the main control unit 41. , And when it is specified that the game section is an advantageous section, the initial effect is ended and the square effect corresponding to the N + 2nd lap is executed. Further, in the normal square effect, the current number of cycles is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, whereas in the square effect performed after the initial effect at the time of recovery from the power failure, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the current number of cycles. The current number of cycles is not displayed.

If the N + 1th lap of the cycle period is the 6th lap and then is controlled during the effect period, the sub control unit 91 executes the CZ suggestion continuous effect instead of the square effect. Further, when the control state on the main control unit 41 side at the time of return is the sixth lap of the cycle period and is controlled during the effect period with the end of the sixth lap, the sub control unit 91 starts the effect period. Along with this, the initial production is finished and the CZ suggestion continuous production is executed.

As shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, when the power supply is restarted, the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state, and when the control state is initialized, the main control unit 41 is before the power failure. Regardless of the control state, the game section is controlled to the normal section, and then the normal state or the CZ state is controlled with the transition to the advantageous section. At this time, in the first game after the end of the setting change state, the sub control unit 91 performs the same start control as at the start of the normal state, as in the case of returning to the normal state before the power failure, and performs the initial effect. Is executed from the beginning.

After that, when the sub control unit 91 shifts to the advantageous section on the main control unit 41 side and is controlled to the normal state, as shown in FIG. 20, the sub control unit 91 mainly performs the initial effect started after the end of the setting change state. The control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section and continuously executes until the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period in the normal state ends, and then the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period ends, and 1 of the cycle period As the lap starts, the square effect corresponding to the first lap is executed. At this time, the sub control unit 91 identifies that the cycle pointer has reached the initial value (0) and that the number of cycles has changed from the 0th lap to the 1st lap based on the command from the main control unit 41. , And when it is specified that the game section is an advantageous section, the initial effect is ended and the square effect corresponding to the first lap is executed. Further, the current number of cycles is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as in the case of the square effect performed after the initial effect when returning from the power failure. In addition, the winning probability of the advantageous section transition combination is about 1 / 1.0, and the average number of games required to shift from the normal section to the advantageous section after the end of the setting change state is about 1 game, and the cycle pointer is It is less than the number of games required to make one lap, and the period until the initial production is completed is not extremely long due to the period until the transition to the advantageous section.

Further, when the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state and the control state is initialized and the initial effect is started after the setting change state ends, the sub control unit 91 performs the main control as described above. The section 41 shifts from the normal section to the advantageous section and does not end until the end of the 0th lap of the cycle period in the normal state. For example, the advantageous section transition combination is not won in the normal section. An abnormality occurs when the normal section is prolonged, when some trouble is played (for example, when the game is played with the number of bets where the transition condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied, or when the game state is shifted to the game state where the transition condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied. Even if the transition condition of the advantageous section is not satisfied) and the transition to the advantageous section does not occur, the initial effect is continuously executed. Therefore, after the power is turned on, the period during which the initial effect is continued becomes extremely long, so that it is possible to recognize the possibility that some kind of trouble has occurred.

In this way, when the power supply is restarted, the main control unit 41 is set even when the main control unit 41 does not shift to the setting change state and returns from the middle of the Nth lap of the cycle period before the power failure. Even when the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the changed state, the control state is initialized, and starts from the beginning of the 0th lap of the cycle period with the shift to the advantageous section, the sub-control unit 91 responds to the current number of cycles and MAP. The initial effect is such that the mass type, the periodic pointer, and the mass type specified by the periodic pointer cannot be specified, and the progress of the periodic pointer cannot be specified. The initial effect is an effect common to the initial effect executed in the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period.

Further, the sub control unit 91 is the main effect even if it is an initial effect executed when the main control unit 41 does not shift to the setting change state and returns to the state before the power interruption when the power supply is restarted. Even if the initial effect is executed when the control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state and the control state is initialized, the treasure box effect can be executed in the same manner as the normal initial effect, and the treasure box effect is executed. It is possible to suggest the advantage of the scenario step by step by the number of times.

Further, in the sub control unit 91, when the main control unit 41 does not shift to the setting change state and returns from the middle of the Nth lap of the cycle period before the power failure, the main control unit 41 side is in the N lap of the cycle period. Even if the eye period ends, the initial effect is continued, and as the period of N + 1 lap of the cycle period ends and the N + 2nd lap of the cycle period starts, the square effect corresponding to the N + 2 lap is executed. To do. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state, the control state is initialized, and starts from the beginning of the 0th lap of the cycle period with the shift to the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 As the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period ends and the 1st lap of the cycle period starts, the square effect corresponding to the 1st lap is executed.

When the power supply is restarted, the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state, and when the control state is initialized, the sub control unit 91 shifts to the advantageous section on the main control unit 41 side and is in the CZ state. When controlled to, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the initial effect started after the end of the setting change state is shifted to the advantageous section on the main control unit 41 side, and the period is controlled to the CZ state. Will continue to be executed. After that, when the sub control unit 91 does not win the AT lottery in the CZ state and is controlled to the normal state after the end of the CZ state, as shown in FIG. 21, the 0th lap of the cycle period in the normal state. Is continuously executed until the end of the period of, and then, as the period of the 0th lap of the cycle period ends and the 1st lap of the cycle period starts, the square production corresponding to the 1st lap is executed. To do. Also at this time, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the cycle pointer has become the initial value (0) and the number of cycles has changed from the 0th lap to the 1st lap based on the command from the main control unit 41. However, when it is specified that the game section is an advantageous section, the initial effect is ended and the square effect corresponding to the first lap is executed. Further, the current number of cycles is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, as in the case of the square effect performed after the initial effect when returning from the power failure.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the AT lottery in the CZ state and is controlled to the AT state after the end of the CZ state, as shown in FIG. 22, the specified number of games is set after the start of the CZ state. The initial effect is continuously executed until the start operation of the game in which the CZ state ends has elapsed, and the AT suggestion effect suggesting the possibility of winning the AT state with the start operation of the game in which the CZ state ends is performed. The AT winning notification is executed to notify that the AT state is controlled at the end of the game, and the AT effect peculiar to the AT state is started at the timing when the start operation of the next game is performed.

As described above, the sub control unit 91 shifts from the normal section after the setting change to the advantageous section and is controlled to the CZ state on the main control unit 41 side except when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to the CZ state. After the start of the state, the CZ state effect peculiar to the CZ state is executed for a period until the specified number of games becomes 3 games remaining, and after the specified number of games reaches the remaining 3 games, the specified number of games elapses and the CZ In the period until the end of the state, when the AT suggestion continuous effect suggesting the possibility of winning the AT state is executed, the AT lottery is won in the CZ state, and the AT state is controlled after the CZ state. At the end of the game in which the specified number of games elapses and the CZ state ends, the AT winning notification is executed to notify that the AT state is controlled. That is, in this case, the AT suggestion continuous effect related to the CZ effect suggests the possibility of winning the AT state, and the fact that the AT state is finally won is notified. On the other hand, when the normal section after the setting change is changed to the advantageous section and the CZ state is controlled, the start operation of the game in which the specified number of games elapses and the CZ state ends after the start of the CZ state is performed. The initial effect is continuously executed until the CZ state ends, the AT suggestion effect suggesting the possibility of winning the AT state is executed with the start operation of the game in which the CZ state ends, and the AT winning notification is executed at the end of the game. Notifies that the AT state is controlled. That is, in this case, the AT suggestion effect related to the initial effect suggests the possibility of winning the AT state, and the fact that the AT state is finally won is notified.

Further, when the sub-control unit 91 starts the initial effect with the start of the normal state after the end of the CZ state, the sub-control unit 91 performs start control, displays an image of "start" together with an image of the initial effect, and cycles. In addition to suggesting the start of the period, it is assumed that no treasure chest image is displayed in a specific area of the liquid crystal display 51, but the start control is performed in the first game after the end of the setting change state, and the initial setting is performed. When the effect is executed from the beginning, if the normal state starts after shifting to the advantageous section, or if the normal state starts after shifting to the advantageous section and being controlled to the CZ state, it is again. The start control is not performed, and the initial effect during execution is continued, and even if the normal state starts, the image "Start" is displayed, or the image of the treasure box is not displayed at all. It is difficult to recognize that the normal state has started because there is no such thing as being done.

As described above, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the cycle pointer has reached the initial value (0) and that the number of cycles of the cycle pointer in the cycle period has been added based on the command from the main control unit 41. If so, the initial effect is terminated and the square effect is executed. Further, the main control unit 41 does not update the cycle pointer and the number of cycles in the normal section, and as a result of the change in the cycle pointer and the number of cycles in the normal section, the sub control unit 41 before shifting to the advantageous section. The 91 does not end the initial production.

Further, as described above, the sub control unit 91 has set the cycle pointer to the initial value (0) and added the number of cycles of the cycle pointer in the cycle period based on the command from the main control unit 41. In addition to specifying, when it is specified that the game section is an advantageous section, the initial effect is terminated and the square effect is executed. Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 performs the initial effect before shifting to the advantageous section. It never ends.

The sub-control unit 91 is the main control unit even if it is an initial effect executed when the main control unit 41 does not shift to the setting change state and returns to the state before the power interruption when the power supply is restarted. Even if the initial effect is executed when 41 shifts to the setting change state and the control state is initialized, the treasure box effect can be executed in the same manner as the normal initial effect, and the number of times the treasure box effect is executed. It is possible to suggest the advantage of the scenario, but in the initial effect executed when the main control unit 41 shifts to the setting change state and the control state is initialized, the main control unit 41 side is the normal section. During the period controlled by, the treasure chest effect is not executed, the transition to the advantageous section is performed, the control is performed in the normal state, and the treasure chest effect can be executed after the scenario is selected. Further, when shifting to the advantageous section and being controlled to the CZ state, the treasure chest effect can be executed at the same execution rate as when scenario 1 is selected, and then the treasure chest effect is controlled to the normal state and the scenario is selected. After that, the treasure chest effect can be executed at the execution rate corresponding to the selected scenario.

As shown in FIG. 23, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a chance effect suggesting the possibility of winning the AT state when the CZ effect is being executed in the CZ state, whereas the sub-control unit 91 is executing the initial effect. The small role suggestion effect described later and the treasure box effect described above are not executed. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes a small role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of a small role or a replay combination, and a treasure box effect that suggests the advantage of the scenario in the cycle period when the initial effect is being executed in the normal state. On the other hand, the chance effect that can be executed during the execution of the CZ effect is not executed. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the small role suggestion effect and the treasure box effect even when the initial effect is being executed in the CZ state, but does not execute the chance effect that can be executed during the execution of the CZ effect. It has become like. Therefore, when the initial effect is executed in the CZ state, it is difficult to recognize that the main control unit 41 is controlled to the CZ state during the execution of the initial effect due to the difference in the effect.

[Action effect 1]
In the present embodiment, when the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state in the advantageous section, the first transition control for shifting to the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section and the termination of the advantageous section are temporarily set to the normal section. It is possible to perform the second transition control of controlling and then shifting to the advantageous section again to shift to the CZ state, and the first shift control is more than the case of being controlled to the CZ state by the second shift control. It is more advantageous for the player when the player is controlled to the CZ state. In such a configuration, when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, the advantageous section is terminated and the normal section is controlled from the notification that the CZ state is controlled to the CZ state control. After that, it takes a preparation period to shift to the advantageous section again. Then, when the main control unit 41 is controlled to the CZ state by the first transition control, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state after a delay period corresponding to the preparation period elapses after being notified that the control to the CZ state is performed. The sub-control unit 91 is configured to execute a common CZ preparation effect (normal) in the preparation period and the delay period. With such a configuration, it becomes difficult to recognize whether the first transition control is controlled to the CZ state or the second transition control is controlled to the CZ state, and the first transition control is performed. Further, even when the second transition control is performed, it can be expected that the CZ state is controlled by the first transition control, which has a higher advantage among the first transition control and the second transition control.

In this embodiment, regardless of whether the game is controlled to the CZ state by the second transition control or the CZ state by the first transition control, the game following the game in which the control to the CZ state is notified. This is a configuration in which a common CZ preparation effect (normal) is started from the game of. With such a configuration, it is recognized from the timing when the CZ preparation effect (normal) is started, whether the first transition control is controlled to the CZ state or the second transition control is controlled to the CZ state. Becomes difficult.

In this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 controls to the CZ state by the second transition control, the advantageous section is ended and the normal section is controlled in the game after the CZ preparation effect (normal) is started. It is a composition. With such a configuration, when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, the advantageous section is ended and the normal section is controlled in the game after the CZ preparation effect (normal) is started. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the end of the advantageous section.

In this embodiment, when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, the CZ preparation effect (normal) is terminated after controlling to the normal section and shifting to the advantageous section again. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize that the control was performed in the normal section at the timing when the CZ preparation effect (normal) was completed.

In this embodiment, a game in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) is performed when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control after the start of the CZ preparation effect (normal) when the first transition control is used to control the CZ state. The CZ preparation effect (normal) is terminated when the number of games, which is substantially the same as the average value of the numbers, has elapsed. With such a configuration, from the number of games in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) is performed, it is recognized whether the game is controlled to the CZ state by the first transition control or the CZ state by the second transition control. It can be difficult.

In this embodiment, the number of games in the preparation period is fixed between the two games, but the number of games in the preparation period may be determined by selecting any number of games from a plurality of games. It is good, and by configuring the configuration to be controlled during the preparation period until the advantageous section transition combination is won, when controlling to the CZ state by the first transition control, the second transition control is performed after the start of the CZ preparation effect (normal). When controlling to the CZ state, the CZ preparation effect (normal) may be terminated when substantially the same number of games as the average value of the number of games in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) is performed has elapsed. Even if the configuration is different, it is difficult to recognize from the number of games in which the CZ preparation effect (normal) is performed, whether the game is controlled to the CZ state by the first transition control or the CZ state by the second transition control. be able to.

In this embodiment, the CZ state includes the CZ state 1 and the CZ state 2 which is more advantageous for the player than the CZ state 1, and when the first transition control is performed, the CZ state 1 is based on the CZ lottery 2. When the second transition control is performed, it is determined whether to control the CZ state 1 or the CZ state 2 based on the CZ lottery 1 different from the CZ lottery 2. It is a configuration to be decided. With such a configuration, the conditions and ratios controlled to the CZ state 2 can be changed depending on whether the first transition control is performed or the second transition control is performed.

In this embodiment, when the game is controlled to the CZ state by the first transition control, the advantage is changed according to the result of the game in the advantageous section before the determination to shift to the CZ state is made. With such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to the result of the game in the advantageous section before it is decided to shift to the CZ state.

In this embodiment, the result of the CZ lottery 2 that triggers the first transition control is reflected in the advantage of the CZ state by the first transition control, so that the transition to the CZ state is determined before it is determined. The advantage is changed according to the result of the game in the advantageous section of the above. For example, when the first transition control is used to control the CZ state, the advantageous section before the determination to shift to the CZ state is made. Even if the points and benefits given according to the result of the game are reflected in the advantage of the CZ state by the first transition control, the advantageous section before the decision to shift to the CZ state is made. You can pay attention to the result of the game.

In this embodiment, when the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, the result of the game in the advantageous section is initialized at the end of the advantageous section. With such a configuration, when the advantageous section ends and is controlled to the normal state and is controlled to the advantageous section again, the advantage of the advantageous section in which the result of the game in the once completed advantageous section is controlled again. Can be prevented from affecting.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section when the number of advantageous section games reaches the first specified number, and when controlling the advantageous section to the CZ state, the number of remaining games in the advantageous section. When is less than the predetermined number of games (200 G), the advantage section is terminated, the normal section is once controlled, and then the second transition control is performed to shift to the CZ state by shifting to the advantageous section again. .. With such a configuration, even if the AT state is controlled after the CZ state, the number of games until the number of advantageous section games reaches the first specified number is secured, so that the AT state is controlled. It is possible to secure a sufficient number of games to be played.

In this embodiment, when the CZ state is controlled in the advantageous section, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than the predetermined number of games, the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control. In the case of controlling to the CZ state in the advantageous section, when the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is less than the predetermined number of games, the second transition control may be performed at a higher rate than the first transition control. Even in the configuration, even if the number of games is controlled to the AT state after the CZ state, the number of games controlled to the AT state is determined by securing the number of games until the number of advantageous section games reaches the first specified number. It can be secured sufficiently.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number, and in the AT state, in the advantageous section. When the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency exceeds the predetermined number, the state shifts to the CZ state at the end of the AT state, and in this case, the advantageous section is ended and the normal section is temporarily controlled. After that, the second transition control is performed to shift to the CZ state by shifting to the advantageous section again. With such a configuration, even if the medals are controlled to the AT state after the CZ state, the number of medals increases until the net increase in the number of medals exceeds the second specified number after the change to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section. By securing the amount, it is possible to sufficiently secure the increase amount of medals in the AT state.

In this embodiment, in the case of controlling the CZ state in the advantageous section, when the net increase number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the predetermined number, the CZ state is performed by the second transition control. However, in the case of controlling to the CZ state in the advantageous section, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined number, the first transition control is performed. A configuration in which the second transition control is performed at a high rate may be used, and even in such a configuration, even if the control is performed in the AT state after the CZ state, the net increase in the number of medals after the change in the increasing tendency in the advantageous section By securing the amount of increase in medals until the number exceeds the second specified number, it is possible to sufficiently secure the amount of increase in medals in the AT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the AT state, only when the net increase number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined number, the CZ state is controlled after the end of the AT state. Even if the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section is less than or equal to the predetermined number or exceeds the predetermined number, the configuration may be such that the CZ state can be controlled. , In the case of controlling to the CZ state in the advantageous section, if the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined number, the configuration is such that the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control. Even when the second transition control is performed at a higher rate than the first transition control, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

In this embodiment, there are cases where the CZ state is controlled by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, and cases where the CZ stock lottery is won in the normal state and the CZ state is controlled by the end of the cycle period. There are cases where the CZ state is controlled by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, and cases where the CZ stock lottery is won in the normal state and the CZ state is controlled by the end of the cycle period. The first transition control and the second transition control, which are easy to perform, have different configurations. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform appropriate migration control depending on the difference in migration conditions in the normal state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the CZ state includes the CZ state 1 and the CZ state 2 which is more advantageous for the player than the CZ state 1, and is controlled to the CZ state by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state. In this case, the CZ stock lottery is won in the normal state, and the ratio of being controlled to the CZ state 2 is higher than the case of being controlled to the CZ state by the end of the cycle period, which is likely to be advantageous to the player. When the game is controlled to the CZ state by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 G or more, the first transition control for controlling the CZ state while continuing the advantageous section is performed. It is a configuration to be performed. With such a configuration, in a situation where it is easy to control the CZ state 2 which is advantageous for the player by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, it is controlled to the CZ state 2 by taking over the advantageous section. The ratio can be increased.

In this embodiment, when the CZ state is controlled by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 G or more, the CZ state is maintained while the advantageous section is continued. Although it is configured to perform the first transition control to be controlled, when the CZ state is controlled by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 G or more, the second transition control is performed. The first transition control may be performed at a higher rate than that, and even in such a configuration, in a situation where it is easy to be controlled to the CZ state 2 which is advantageous for the player by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, By taking over the advantageous section, the ratio of being controlled to the CZ state 2 can be increased.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the CZ state is controlled by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, if the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is 200 G or more, the CZ state is maintained while the advantageous section is continued. It is a configuration that performs the first transition control to be controlled, but when it is controlled to the CZ state by winning the CZ lottery 2 in the normal state, the first transition control is performed regardless of the number of remaining games in the advantageous section. Alternatively, the first transition control may be performed at a higher rate than the second transition control, and even with such a configuration, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, in this embodiment, when the CZ state is won in the CZ lottery 2, the transition condition to the CZ state is satisfied in one game, whereas when the CZ stock is won in the CZ stock lottery, the transition condition is satisfied. It takes multiple games for the conditions for transition to the CZ state to be satisfied. Then, in the case where the CZ state is won in the CZ lottery 2 and controlled in the CZ state, and the case where the CZ stock is won in the CZ stock lottery and controlled in the CZ state, the first transition control and the second transition control Of these, the transition control that is likely to be performed is different. With such a configuration, whether it is controlled to the CZ state by the establishment of the transition condition that requires a plurality of games to be satisfied, or whether it is controlled to the CZ state by the establishment of the transition condition that can be satisfied in one game. Appropriate transition control can be performed accordingly.

In particular, in this embodiment, the second transition control is performed when the CZ state is controlled by the establishment of the transition condition that requires a plurality of games to be satisfied, that is, in the situation where the remaining number of advantageous section games tends to be small. , Even when the game is controlled to the AT state after the CZ state, the number of games controlled to the advantageous state can be secured.

In this embodiment, when the normal state is controlled to the CZ state, there are cases where the control is performed to the CZ state by the first transition control and cases where the control is performed to the CZ state by the second transition control. On the other hand, when the AT state is controlled to the CZ state, the configuration is controlled to the CZ state by the second transition control. With such a configuration, when the AT state is controlled to the CZ state, even if the AT state is further controlled thereafter, a sufficient period of control to the AT state can be secured.

In this embodiment, when the normal state is controlled to the CZ state, there are cases where the control is performed to the CZ state by the first transition control and cases where the control is performed to the CZ state by the second transition control. On the other hand, when the AT state is controlled to the CZ state, the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control, but when the normal state is controlled to the CZ state, the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control. When the ratio is controlled from the AT state to the CZ state, the ratio of controlling the CZ state by the second transition control may be higher than the ratio. Even in such a configuration, the AT state is controlled to the CZ state. In that case, even if the AT state is further controlled thereafter, a sufficient period of control to the AT state can be secured.

In this embodiment, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined number (1000) in the AT state, the medals are shifted to the CZ state at the end of the AT state, and this In this case, the configuration is such that the CZ state is controlled by the second transition control. With such a configuration, when the AT state is controlled to the CZ state, the amount of increase in medals in the AT state can be sufficiently secured even when the AT state is further controlled thereafter.

In this embodiment, in the AT state, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined number (1000), the state is shifted to the CZ state at the end of the AT state. However, in the AT state, it is possible to shift to the CZ state at the end of the AT state regardless of whether or not the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the predetermined number (1000). In the configuration, in the AT state, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section is a predetermined number (1000) or less, the AT state is higher than the ratio of controlling to the CZ state by the second transition control. In the configuration, when the net increase in the number of medals after changing to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the predetermined number (1000), the ratio of controlling to the CZ state by the second transition control may be higher.
