The effect control board 90 is connected to the above-mentioned liquid crystal display 51, a speaker capable of outputting sound, and an effect device such as an effect LED 57 used for the effect and visible from the player side. The state can be controlled by the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90. 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.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 periodically performs a power failure determination process for determining whether or not a voltage drop is detected, and determines that the voltage drop is detected in the power failure determination process. If this is the case, the power failure process (main) for setting the data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal is executed at the next return.

Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, provided that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of its activation. It is possible. On the other hand, if the data in the RAM 41c is not normal at the time of startup, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, an error flag indicating the RAM abnormality is set in the RAM 41c, and the RAM error error state is controlled so that the progress of the game is disabled. It has become. The RAM abnormality error state shifts to the setting change state, and is canceled by setting a new setting value, so that the game can proceed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an abnormality is detected according to the progress of the game, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag indicating the type of the detected abnormality in the RAM 41c and controls the RAM 41c to a general error state. However, it is designed to disable the progress of the game. The general error state is canceled by a reset operation by the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38, and the game can proceed. In the following, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the RAM error state and the general error state, it is simply referred to as an error 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, a predetermined winning line LN (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the middle stage of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, that is, the middle stage is horizontal. (Set across the symbols lined up in) 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 6 are set separately from the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to 6 are not determined to win by the combination of the symbols aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to 6, but when the combinations of the symbols constituting the winning are aligned with the winning line LN, the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 to 6 are arranged. By configuring the combination of suggestive symbols (for example, bell a-bell a-bell a) suggesting a prize in any of 6 to be aligned, it is recognized that the combination of symbols constituting the prize is aligned in the winning line LN. It makes it easier to do. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper stages of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, the lower stages of the invalid lines LM1, reels 2L, 2C, and 2R set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage. That is, the invalid line LM2 set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower row, the upper row of the reel 2L, the middle row of the reel 2C, the lower row of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line set across the symbols arranged downward to the right. LM3, lower reel 2L, middle reel 2C, upper reel 2R, that is, invalid line LM4 set across the symbols lined up to the right, upper reel 2L, middle reel 2C, upper reel 2R, that is. Invalid line LM5 set across the symbols arranged in a small V shape, the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM6 set across the symbols arranged in a small mountain shape. Six types are defined as invalid lines.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The normal game state (inside) is a state in which the BB is carried over in the normal game state. 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 when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, the re-game combination is performed. By performing control that always aligns the two, the BB is prevented from winning even if the small winning combination is won or the re-gaming combination is won in the normal gaming state (inside the inside). Then, in the normal game state (inside), one of the small wins or one of the re-games is always won, so once the state shifts to the normal game state (inside), the BB does not win and the normal game state (inside). After the transition to the internal) state, the normal gaming state (internal) is maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by newly setting the set value by shifting to the setting change state. It is supposed to be done.

The special gaming state is a gaming state in which the BB wins a prize in a game in which the BB is won in the normal gaming state (non-internal), and a predetermined end condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, a medal in the special gaming state). It continues until the total number of payouts exceeds 50), and ends when a predetermined end condition is satisfied and the game shifts to the normal game state (non-internal).

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), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, Strong chance replay B, specific small win A + 1, specific small win B + 1, 1, navigation small win, 3 cards, BB, BB + 3 cards are subject to the internal lottery. In the normal game state (non-internal), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1, specific small The winning probabilities of the combination B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, navigation small role, 3 sheets, BB, BB + 3 sheets are about 1 / 9.9, about 1/65, about 1/16384, about 1/137, and about 1/101, respectively. , About 1/524, about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1 / 1.37, about 1/3449, about 1/16384, about 1/14.6 It is set, and the probability of unwinning (missing) is 0.

Also, in the normal game state (inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1 piece, Specified small winning combination B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, navigation small winning combination, 3 sheets are subject to the internal lottery. In the normal game state (inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1, specific small role The winning probabilities of B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, Navi small role, and 3 sheets are about 1 / 9.9, about 1/65, about 1/8192, about 1/137, about 1/101, about 1/524, respectively. It is set to about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1 / 1.37, and about 1 / 14.5, and the probability of unwinning (missing) is 0. ..

Further, in the special gaming state, the compound small winning combination A and the compound small winning combination B are subject to the internal lottery. In the special game state, the winning probabilities of the compound small winning combination A and the compound small winning combination B are set to about 1/33 and about 1 / 1.2, respectively, and the probability of non-winning (missing) is about 1/7. It becomes 0.3.

When the normal replay A is won, the normal replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay B is won, the normal replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay C is won, the normal replay C always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When the weak chance replay A is won, the weak chance replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the weak chance replay B is won, the weak chance replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the strong chance replay A is won, the strong chance replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the strong chance replay B is won, the strong chance replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When a normal replay A, a normal replay B, a normal replay C, a weak chance replay A, a weak chance replay B, a strong chance replay A, or a strong chance replay B is won, a replay is given.

The specific small winning combination A + 1 is a winning combination with the specific small winning combination A, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A. When the operation is performed, the specific small winning combination A with the payout of 15 medals wins a prize regardless of the order of the stopping operation, while the left reel is at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A. When the stop operation of is performed, one medal with the payout of one medal wins a prize regardless of the order of the stop operation.

The specific small winning combination B + 1 is a winning combination with the specific small winning combination B, and when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B. When the operation is performed, the specific small winning combination B with the payout of 15 medals wins regardless of the order of the stopping operation, while the left reel is at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B. When the stop operation of is performed, one medal with the payout of one medal wins a prize regardless of the order of the stop operation.

When one medal is won, one medal with the payout of one medal is always won regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. As described above, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the specific small winning combination A, or when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. , Even if the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the configuration symbol of the specific small winning combination B, one piece will win regardless of the stopping operation order. If one reel wins as a result of performing the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of A and the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the specific small winning combination B, It is not possible to determine whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are winning or one is winning.

The navigation small role is a combination in which a plurality of small roles (main small role and sub-small role in this embodiment) are elected, and corresponds to each navigation small role in the stop operation order corresponding to each navigation small role. When the first stop reel (first stop reel) is stopped at the stop operation timing, the main and small winning combination with the payout of 15 medals wins, while the stop operation is not in the corresponding stop operation order. When the stop operation is performed in order, or when the stop operation of the first stop reel is performed at a stop operation timing other than the corresponding stop operation timing, one medal is paid out according to the stop operation timing. The deputy small role will win, or none of the roles will win. That is, the expected value of the number of medals given changes due to the difference in the stop operation order and the stop operation timing of the first stop reel, and the stop operation order and the stop operation timing corresponding to the winning navigation small winning combination are determined by the navigation notification. The expected value of the number of medals given by being notified changes.

When 3 medals are won, 3 medals will always be paid out regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing.

When the BB is won, if the stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the BB configuration symbol (in this embodiment, the combination of "white 7-plum-plum") on all reels, the BB will be If a prize is won and the game state shifts to the special game state, but if the stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the BB constituent symbols on any of the reels, none of the winning combinations will be won. , BB winning is carried over to the next game or later, and the game shifts to the normal game state (internal).

BB + 3 cards are the winning roles of BB and 3 cards, and when BB + 3 cards are won, 3 cards with the payout of 3 medals are always won regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing, and the BB is won. Will be carried over to the next game or later, and will shift to the normal game state (inside).

The compound small winning combination A is a combination in which all the main small winning combinations, the specific small winning combination A, and the specific small winning combination B that make up the navigation small winning combination are elected. Regardless, a specific main and small role with the payout of 15 medals will always win.

The compound small winning combination B is a combination in which all the sub-small winning combinations that make up the navigation small winning combination and one and three medals are won. When the compound small winning combination B is won, it must be stopped regardless of the stop operation order or the stop operation timing. One medal with the payout of one medal wins.

The lottery targets (including unwinned) of the internal lottery are unwinned, normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific Winning numbers from 0 to 39 are assigned in the order of small win A + 1, specific small win B + 1, 1, navigation small win 3, BB, BB + 3, composite small win A, and composite small win B. , The winning number corresponding to the lottery result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets (including unwinning) of the internal lottery include the corresponding 0 to 4 advantageous section transition flags, 0 to 3 lottery flags 1, 0 to 3 lottery flags 2, 0 to 4, respectively. The lottery flag 3 is assigned, and the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flags 1 to 3 according to the result of the internal lottery (winning number) 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. Further, the lottery flags 1 to 3 determine whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state (a lottery for shortening the number of normal games described later, a second and third AT lottery, a first to third additional lottery, etc.), and AT. It is referred to when conducting a lottery related to the condition.

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 the lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when the lottery 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.

As for the lottery flag, 0 is assigned to the lottery target that is not the target of the lottery related to the AT status, and for the lottery target that is the target of the lottery related to the granting of AT, for example, a plurality of types of navigation small wins A common value is assigned to a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when a lottery related to the AT state is performed. Therefore, when the main control unit 41 performs a lottery related to the AT state, it is not necessary to individually specify whether or not to perform the lottery from each winning number, depending on whether or not the lottery flag is 0. It is possible to specify whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery related to the AT state, the probability according to the winning number should be specified from the value of the lottery flag instead of specifying the probability from each winning number. 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, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. it can. Further, the lottery flags are the lottery targets that are not subject to the lottery related to the AT state, and the lottery flags 1 to which have different lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing the lottery related to the AT state. By using any of the lottery flags 1 to 3 according to the type of lottery related to the AT state, the lottery related to the AT state is excluded from the lottery according to the type of lottery related to the AT state. The lottery targets can be different, and the probabilities of the lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state can be different probabilities.

[Navigation small role, specific small role, winning probability of small role that constitutes compound small role]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle), the winning probability of the red left middle bell A that the upper bell A wins and the red left middle bell that the upper bell B wins. B winning probability, right-down bell A winning red left and right bell A winning probability, small V bell A winning red left and right bell B winning probability, middle bell A winning red middle left bell A winning probability, Koyama Bell A wins red middle left bell B winning probability, right rising bell A wins red middle right bell A winning probability, right rising bell B wins red middle right bell B winning probability, right rising bell C wins red right left bell A winning probability, Koyama bell B wins red right left bell B winning probability, middle bell B wins red right middle bell A winning probability, lower bell A wins red right middle Winning probability of bell B, winning probability of white left middle bell A won by upper bell C, winning probability of white left middle bell B won by upper bell D, winning probability of white left and right bell A won by falling right bell B , Small V bell B wins white left and right bell B winning probability, middle bell C wins white middle left bell A winning probability, Koyama bell C wins white middle left bell B winning probability, right rising bell D The winning probability of the white middle right bell A that wins, the winning probability of the white middle right bell B that the right rising bell E wins, the winning probability of the white right left bell A that the right rising bell F wins, the white that Koyama bell D wins The winning probability of the right and left bell B, the winning probability of the white right middle bell A won by the middle bell D, and the winning probability of the white right middle bell B won by the lower bell B are all 2000/65536, and the specific small role A The winning probability of the specific small winning combination A + 1 winning the winning and the winning probability of the specific small winning combination B + 1 winning the specific small winning combination B are both 1345/65536.

In addition, in the special game state, all the main and small roles, that is, the upper bells A to D, the middle bells A to D, the lower bells A and B, the right-down bells A and B, the right-up bells A to F, and the Koyama bells A to The winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 in which D, the small V-bells A and B, and the specific small winning combination A and B are won is 2001/65536, and the main and small in the normal gaming state (non-internal medium / internal medium). It is set higher than the winning probability of each role (2000/65536).

In addition, the probability of winning the main / small role in the special game state (2001/65536) is higher than the probability of winning one of the main / small roles in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) (48000/65536). Is set low. That is, the winning probability of each of the main and small wins in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) is set lower than the winning probability of the main small winning combination in the special gaming state, but the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal) In (middle), the probability that one of the main and small roles will be won is set lower than the probability that one of the main and small roles will be won in the special gaming state.

From this, for example, if there is only one type of main and small winning combination in the navigation small winning combination corresponding to the same operation mode, the winning probability of each of the main and small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) is high. Therefore, if the winning probability of the main small role in the special game state is set higher than that, the winning probability of the main small role in the special game state will be relatively high. In a configuration in which the winning probability of the main small role in the special game state is set higher than the winning probability of each of the main small roles in the state (non-internal middle / internal middle), the main winning in the navigation small role corresponding to the same operation mode. By setting each of the small roles to multiple types (two types in this embodiment), the winning probability of each of the main and small roles in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) is reduced, so that the main small role in the special gaming state is reduced accordingly. It is possible to reduce the winning probability of the role.

In addition, the probabilities that the specific small wins A and B are won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are 1345/65536, respectively, and each of the main small wins in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) It is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536). Therefore, if the operation mode is such that the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the white 7 area, the winning probability of the specific small winning combination A and B that can surely obtain 15 medals does not increase excessively.

In addition, the winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 in which all the main small winning combinations and the specific small winning combinations A and B are won in the special gaming state is 2001/65536, and the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). It is set higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main small roles in the above, and higher than the winning probability (1345/65536) of each of the specific small roles A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). There is.

In addition, the probability of winning the main small role in the special game state (50690/65536) is higher than the probability that either the main small role or the specific small role A or B is won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle). (2001/65536), the winning probability (2001/65536) of the specific small winning combination A and B in the special gaming state is set lower. That is, the winning probabilities of the main small winning combination, the specific small winning combination A, and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are lower than the winning probability of the main small winning combination, the specific small winning combination A, and B in the special gaming state. Although it is set, the main small role and the specific small role A in the special game state are more than the probability that any of the main small roles and the specific small role A and B will be won in the normal game state (non-internal middle and internal middle). , B is set to have a low probability of winning.

In addition, when there is only one type of specific small winning combination, the probability of winning the specific small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) becomes higher, and the specific small winning combination or main small winning combination in the special gaming state is higher than that. If the winning probability of is set high, the winning probability of the specific small winning combination or the main small winning combination in the special gaming state becomes relatively high, but in this embodiment, the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) ), The winning probability of the specific small winning combination and the main small winning combination in the special gaming state is set higher than the winning probability of the specific small winning combination. , Since the probability of winning each of the specific small wins A and B decreases in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle), the winning probability of the specific small wins A, B and the main small win in the special game state should be reduced accordingly. Is possible.

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 10, 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, the navigation notification is performed when a predetermined notification condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, it is controlled to the CZ state or the AT state described later, and the navigation target combination is won by the internal lottery). The operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, which is advantageous for the player, is notified by performing the navigation notification.

The main control unit 41 controls the CZ state or the AT state in which the navigation notification is performed when the control is performed in the advantageous section. Then, in the case of controlling to the CZ state or the AT state, 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 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 (such as transmission of a navigation command that can specify the corresponding navigation number), and the advantageous section is usually It is a game section that is more advantageous for the player than the section.

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. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase / decrease in the number of medals changes from the decreasing tendency to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) set as the upper limit. Condition 2, predetermined arbitrary conditions (in this embodiment, the number of games remaining in the advantageous section at the time when the CZ state ends without shifting to the AT state is less than 500 G, and the end condition of the AT state is satisfied. That) is included, and the advantageous section is terminated when at least one of the termination conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied.

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

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

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

In addition, the information 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 related to the game section includes information related to the AT state (information related to the advantageous section state described later, etc.), and the information related to the game section is initialized with the transition to the setting change state. Regardless of whether the game section before shifting to the setting change state is a normal section or an advantageous section, the information related to the AT state is initialized so that the information related to the previous AT state is not inherited. It has become.

[About main processing]
The control content of the main process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIG. The main process is repeatedly executed for each unit of game. And one cycle of the main process corresponds to one unit of the game.

As shown in FIG. 9, the main control unit 41 first performs a game start waiting process (Sa1), and performs a process from the end of the control of the previous one game to the start of the next one game. In the game start waiting process, the number of bets is set according to the insertion of medals, etc., and the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the specified number of bets set, so that the next game is played. Perform the process to start.

Next, when the game starts, an internal lottery process (Sa2) is performed to determine whether or not to allow the occurrence of winning (internal lottery). In the internal lottery process, winning is allowed based on the preset values (1 to 6) set in advance in the slot machine 1 and the random number values for the internal lottery acquired at the same time as the start of the game by detecting the start switch 7. An internal lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to do so (that is, whether or not to allow the derivation of the display result). Then, the winning combination number (including the winning number and the loss) corresponding to the winning combination is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c so that the winning result in the internal lottery can be specified.

Next, an advantageous section transition flag generation process (Sa3) for converting the winning number into an advantageous section transition flag, and a lottery flag generation process (Sa4) for converting the winning number into a lottery flag are performed. In the advantageous section transition flag generation process, the value of the advantageous section transition flag corresponding to the winning number is acquired using the advantageous section transition flag conversion table and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Further, in the lottery flag generation process, the values of the lottery flags 1 to 3 corresponding to the winning numbers are acquired by using the lottery flag conversion table and stored in the predetermined areas of the RAM 41c.

Next, at the timing when the game is started, the ball ejection control process (Sa5) at the start of the game is performed, which performs the process related to the game section and the process related to the navigation notification. In the processing related to the game section, when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, the processing is performed to shift to the advantageous section, and in the processing related to the navigation notification, the transition from the normal state to the CZ state described later in the advantageous section is performed. , The process related to the transition from the CZ state to the AT state and the management of the AT state is performed. In particular, in the advantageous section, the first AT lottery, the mode lottery, the normal game number lottery, the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery, which will be described later, are performed according to the result of the internal lottery and the advantageous section state.

Next, a game start command transmission process (Sa6) is performed to specify that one game has started, and a control state command including a plurality of commands capable of specifying various control states at the start of one game. The group is set in the command queue, and the sub-control unit 91 is sequentially transmitted.

Next, after the game start command transmission process, a freeze process (Sa7) for controlling the freeze state that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period is performed. In the freeze process, it is determined whether or not it is determined to control the freeze state when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, and it is determined that the control to the freeze state is determined. To delay the progress of the game for a predetermined period of time. Further, when performing a reel effect of changing the reel in the frozen state, a process of changing the reel is performed in a change mode according to the type of the reel effect.

Next, after the freeze process is completed, a game start setting process (Sa8) for setting a predetermined reel rotation start time is performed. In the game start setting process, the reel rotation start process accompanying the start of the game is performed, and the reel rotation is started toward the constant speed rotation. Next, after the game start setting process, an external output signal at the start of rotation (a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used in the game) is sent from a predetermined output port to an external device such as a call lamp, a hall computer, or a test device. Etc.) is output. External signal processing (Sa9) is performed at the start of rotation.

Next, after the external signal processing at the start of rotation, the reel stop processing (Sa10) for controlling the reel stop is performed. In the reel stop process, when performing navigation notification, the game auxiliary display 12 notifies the operation mode according to the winning number. Further, when all the rotating reels are rotated at a constant speed, the acceptance of the reel stop operation during rotation is enabled, and the player waits until the reel stop operation is performed. Then, when a valid stop operation is detected for the reel for which the stop operation is enabled, reel stop control for stopping the reel for the reel for which the effective stop operation has been performed is performed. Such reel stop control is repeatedly performed for the rotating reel to stop the rotation of all the reels, thereby ending the reel stop process.

Next, after the reel stop process, the winning search process (Sa11) is performed. In the winning search process, the winning symbol combination is searched based on the symbol combinations stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the winning flag indicating the presence or absence of winning is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c.

Next, after the winning search process, the game machine information calculation process (Sa12) for totaling the game history used when calculating the game machine information displayed on the game machine information display 50 is performed. The game machine information is the distribution ratio of medals after the game machine is shipped (total number of medals paid out in the special gaming state after the game machine is shipped / total number of medals paid out after the game machine is shipped). , Character payout ratio in a predetermined period (total number of medals paid out in a special gaming state in a predetermined period / total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period), medal payout rate after the game machine is shipped (game machine is shipped Total number of medals paid out since then / total number of medals used since the game machine was shipped), medal payout rate in a predetermined period (total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period / total number of medals used in a predetermined period) In the game machine information calculation process, the game history used for these calculations is aggregated, and the game machine information is calculated based on the aggregated result.

Next, the special game state end check process (Sa13) is performed. In the special game state end check process, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied when the special game state is controlled. Next, the game state setting process (Sa14) is performed. In the game state setting process, the game state of the next game is set based on the winning data set by the winning search process and the result of the special game state end check process.

Next, at the timing when the game is finished, the ball ejection control process (Sa15) at the end of the game, which performs the process related to the game section and the process related to the navigation notification, is performed. In the process related to the game section, when the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied in the advantageous section, the process shifts to the normal section, and in the process related to the navigation notification, the normal state to the CZ state described later in the advantageous section is changed. Performs processing related to transition, transition from CZ state to AT state, transition from CZ state or AT state to normal state, and management of AT state. In particular, in the advantageous section, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, which will be described later, are performed according to the result of the internal lottery and the advantageous section state.

Next, a command transmission process (Sa16) at the end of the game is performed, a control state command group including a plurality of commands capable of specifying various control states at the end of one game is set in the command queue, and the sub-control unit 91 To be sent sequentially.

Next, after the command transmission process at the end of the game, a payout process is performed in which a number of medals corresponding to the winnings generated as a result of the game are given (Sa17). In the payout process, a predetermined number of medals are given to the player for each winning, and the number of medals to be given is added to the credits, and the credit is the maximum number (this implementation). In the example, when 50) is reached, the medals not added to the credit are paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

Next, after the payout process, an external output signal at the end of the game (a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals given, etc.) is output from a predetermined output port to an external device such as a ring lamp, a hall computer, or a test device. External signal processing (Sa18) is performed at the end of the game.

Next, the setting process at the end of the game is performed (Sa19). In the game end setting process, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-game combination is stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and if the symbol combination of the re-game combination is stopped, the symbol combination of the re-game combination is stopped again in the next game. A process of setting the number of bets for playing a game, a process of setting a replay flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, a process of controlling the replay LED 20 to an ON state (lighting state), and the like are performed.

Next, the advantageous section end processing is performed (Sa20). In the advantageous section end processing, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section end flag indicating that the advantageous section is ended is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and if it is determined that the advantageous section end flag is set, it is determined that the advantageous section end flag is set. The advantageous section data initialization process is performed to initialize a predetermined area in the storage area of the RAM 41c in which data related to control in the advantageous section is stored and end the advantageous section. As a result, when the section display LED 19 is in the lit state, it is turned off.

Next, after the advantageous section end processing, the initialization processing (Sa21) is performed. In the initialization process, the area of the RAM 41c to be initialized in the game is set, and the data stored in the set area is initialized. Then, after the initialization process, the process returns to the Sa1 process.

After that, the processes of Sa1 to Sa21 are repeated. When the main process goes through, the process related to the control of one unit of the game is completed, and the main process is repeatedly executed for each unit of the game.

[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.

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

The normal state is a state in which navigation notification is not performed, which is a relatively disadvantageous state for the player. The precursor state is a state in which the navigation notification is not performed after the end of the normal state, but after that, the state always shifts to the CZ state within 20 games, which is more advantageous for the player than the normal state. It is in a state. The CZ state is a state in which the state shifts after the end of the precursory state, navigation notification is performed, and the state can shift to the AT state, which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state and the precursory state. 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, the main control unit 41 performs the first AT lottery, the mode lottery, and the normal game number lottery. In the first AT lottery, it is decided whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the normal state, the precursor state and the CZ state, and when shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section, there is a probability of about 1/10 of the AT state. The transition to is won. In the mode lottery, the mode in the normal state to be controlled thereafter is determined. In the normal game number lottery, the number of normal games is determined from a plurality of games according to the mode determined in the mode lottery.

There are three modes in the normal state, modes A to C. In mode A, the maximum number of normal games determined by the number of normal games lottery is 100 games, and the average value of the number of normal games determined is 50 games. In mode B, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 200 games, and the average value of the number of normal games determined is 150 games. In mode C, the maximum number of normal games determined by the number of normal games lottery is 300 games, and the average value of the number of normal games determined is 200 games. In the normal state, in any mode, when the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery reaches 0, the normal state ends and the state shifts to the precursor state.

When the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section, it first controls to the normal state. The main control unit 41 subtracts 1 from the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery for each game.

Further, in addition to subtracting 1 from the number of normal games for each game, the main control unit 41 may subtract the value won in the normal game number shortening lottery from the number of normal games. There are three types of normal game number reduction lottery: normal game number reduction lottery (large), (medium), and (small). The normal game number shortening lottery (large) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the value to be subtracted from the normal game number is determined from 50 to 100 and subtracted from the normal game number. The average value of the values to be used is about 75. In the normal game number shortening lottery (middle), when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and one of the specific small winning combination A and B wins without winning, that is, In the operation mode (left red area) in which the stop operation timing of the left reel is the red 7 area at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combinations A and B (in this embodiment, the stop operation timing of the left reel is the red 7 area). (Stop operation) is executed (hereinafter, it may be referred to as missing specific small wins A and B), and the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined from 10 to 50, and the number of normal games is determined. The average value of the values subtracted from is about 20 games. The normal game number shortening lottery (small) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the value to be subtracted from the normal game number is determined from 1 to 15 and subtracted from the normal game number. The average value of the values to be played is about 5 games.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the number of normal games after subtraction has reached 0, and when it reaches 0, the main control unit 41 terminates the normal state and a predetermined period (10 to 20 games in this embodiment). ) To control the precursor state.

In the precursory state, the second AT lottery or the first additional lottery may be executed. The second AT lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state when the transition to the AT state is not won in the first AT lottery and the second AT lottery. There are three types of 2nd AT lottery (high), (medium), and (small). The second AT lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/2. In the second AT lottery (middle), when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the precursory state, and one is won without winning the specific small wins A and B, that is, the specific It is executed when small wins A and B are missed, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/5. The second AT lottery (small) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/10.

The first additional lottery in the precursor state adds the number of games controlled to the AT state that shifts after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state when the transition to the AT state is won in the first and second AT lottery. It is a lottery to decide whether or not, and there are three types of the first additional lottery (high), (medium), and (low). The first additional lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. In the first additional lottery (middle), when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the precursory state, and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won and one is won, that is, It is executed when the specific small winning combination A and B are missed, and the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/5. The first additional lottery (low) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/10. It has become.

When the precursor state ends after the predetermined period elapses, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ state for 10 games.

In the CZ state, a third AT lottery or a second additional lottery may be executed. The 3rd AT lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the CZ state when the transition to the AT state is not won in the 1st to 3rd AT lottery. There are three types: (confirmed), (large), and (medium). The third AT lottery (confirmation) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a 100% probability. The third AT lottery (high) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/2. The third AT lottery (middle) is executed when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and whether the specific small wins A and B win or one wins. Regardless of, the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/5.

The second additional lottery in the CZ state is whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state that shifts after the end of the CZ state when the transition to the AT state is won in the first to third AT lottery. There are three types of lottery, the second additional lottery (confirmed), (high), and (medium). The second additional lottery (confirmation) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a 100% probability. There is. The second additional lottery (high) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. The second additional lottery (middle) is executed when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and the specific small winning combination A and B win or one wins. Regardless of whether or not, the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/5.

If the transition to the AT state is not won in any of the first to third AT lottery when 10 games have passed in the CZ state, the main control unit 41 refers to the number of games remaining in the advantageous section. If the number of games remaining in the advantageous section is 500 games or more, the first AT lottery, the mode lottery, and the normal number of games lottery are performed again while continuing the advantageous section, and the normal state is entered. In the first AT lottery in this case, the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/3. On the other hand, if the number of games remaining in the advantageous section is less than 500 games, the CZ state is ended, the advantageous section is ended, and the normal section is started. Then, after the advantageous section transition combination is elected again to shift to the advantageous section, the first AT lottery, the mode lottery, and the normal game number lottery are performed again, and the normal state is shifted as described above.

When 10 games have passed in the CZ state and the transition to the AT state is won by any of the first to third AT lottery, the main control unit 41 ends the CZ state and shifts to the AT state. ..

When starting the AT state, the main control unit 41 determines the initial value of the number of games controlled in the AT state in the range of 50 to 300, and sets the determined number of games. If the first additional lottery in the precursor state or the second additional lottery in the CZ state has been won, the number of games won in the additional lottery is added to the initial value to start the AT state.

Further, in the AT state, a third additional lottery may be executed. The third additional lottery in the AT state is a lottery for determining whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state, and there are three types of the third additional lottery (high), (medium), and (low). is there. The third additional lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become. The third additional lottery (middle) is executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/5. It has become. The third additional lottery (low) is executed when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and the specific small wins A and B win or one wins. Regardless of whether or not, the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/10.

After the start of the AT state, the main control unit 41 satisfies the end condition of the AT state (the number of games controlled in the AT state becomes 0, and the advantageous section end conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied). The AT state is terminated, the advantageous section is terminated, and the normal section is entered.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the stop operation is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By performing the stop operation of the left reel at the timing (in this embodiment, the stop operation in the operation mode (left white area) where the stop operation timing of the left reel is the white 7 area), the specific small wins A and B are won. And 15 medals can be paid out.

On the other hand, in the normal state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the left is at the stop operation timing that is outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By performing the reel stop operation (in this embodiment, the stop operation in the operation mode (left red area) where the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the red 7 area), the specific small wins A and B are not won. Although the number of medals paid out decreases when the number of medals is won, the number of games won in the normal game number shortening lottery (middle) is subtracted from the normal number of games in the normal state, and the game required to shift to the CZ state or the AT state. The number can be reduced.

That is, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By winning the specific small wins A and B, it is possible to receive the payout of 15 medals, and the payout rate of medals (the number of medals paid out / the number of medals used) in the normal state can be increased. Then, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B, and one piece is won without winning the specific small winning combination A and B. Although the payout rate of medals is low, the number of games until the number of normal games becomes 0, that is, the number of games until the transition to the CZ state can be reduced.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the number of normal games is reduced by the normal game number shortening lottery. The average number of games is shortened by about 0.3 games per game, and if the specific small wins A + 1 and the specific small wins B + 1 are not won each time the specific small wins A and B are won in the internal lottery, the number of normal games is shortened. As a result, the number of normal games is shortened by an average of about 1.2 games per game. From this, the number of games required to reduce the number of normal games won by the normal game number lottery to 0 is the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination A + 1 each time the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won in the internal lottery. If B is won, the number of games required is about 0.7 times the number of normal games won by the normal game number lottery, and 1 each time the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. In the case of winning a prize, the number of games required is about 0.5 times the number of normal games won by the normal game number lottery. For example, if 150 is won by the normal game number lottery, and the specific small wins A and B are won each time the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the number of normal games (150) The average number of games required before becomes 0 is 110 games. On the other hand, if one prize is awarded each time the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the average number of games required for the normal number of games (150) to become 0 is 70. It becomes a game. In this way, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 in the internal lottery are more than the case where the specific small winning combination A and B are won each time the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. The point that the normal state can be ended and the state can be shifted to the CZ state or the AT state with a smaller number of games if the specific small wins A and B are not won each time the card is won, and the digestion efficiency of the game is improved. It becomes advantageous in.

On the other hand, if the specific small wins A + 1 and the specific small wins B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the medals required for the normal number of games (150) to become 0 are required. In addition to the medals paid out by winning each small role and the granting of replay games, about 95 medals are required. On the other hand, if the specific small wins A and B are not won each time the specific small wins A + 1 and the specific small wins B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the number of normal games (150) becomes 0. As for the required medals, about 95 medals are required in addition to the medals paid out by winning each small role and the granting of replay games. In this way, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the specific small winning combination A and B are won, and in the internal lottery, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination are won. In the case where the specific small roles A and B are not won each time the role B + 1 is won, in addition to the medals and replays paid out by the winning of each small role until the number of normal games is reduced to 0. Since the required number of medals is almost the same, as described above, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state, the player selects the operation mode in which one is awarded. However, it is advantageous because the digestion efficiency of the game is improved, but when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the normal state, the player can win the specific small wins A and B. There is almost no difference in the long-term medal payout rate regardless of whether the operation mode of winning one medal is selected.

Further, in the precursory state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By performing the operation (in this embodiment, the stop operation in the operation mode (left red area) where the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the red 7 area), one piece is won without winning the specific small winning combination A and B. If you do so, the number of medals to be paid out will decrease, and the number of games until the transition to the CZ state will not be shortened, but the second AT lottery (middle) or the first additional lottery (low) will be held, so to shift to the AT state. It is possible to increase the number of trials for adding the number of trials and the number of games controlled to the AT state.

Further, regardless of whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won in the internal lottery, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode (left white area) in which the stop operation timing of the left reel is the white 7 area. By doing so, if the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, the specific small winning combination A is won, and if the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the specific small winning combination B is won. By performing the stop operation in the operation mode (left red area) where the stop operation timing is the red 7 area, one piece is won, and even if the specific small winning combination A + 1 piece is won, it is specified. Even if the small winning combination B + 1 is won, the operation mode for winning the specific small winning combination A and B is common, and the operation mode for winning one small winning combination A and B without winning is also common. ..

Further, as described above, the range of the red 7 area and the white 7 area on the left reel is the range of 10 consecutive symbols, which is 1/2 of the range of one lap of the left reel. When the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the specific small winning combination A and B win in 1/2 of the plurality of operation modes, and one wins in the 1/2 operation mode. ..

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A and B having different symbol combinations are provided as the specific small winning combination, the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode of winning the specific small winning combination. When the specific small winning combination A wins, the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode of winning the specific small winning combination, the specific small winning combination B wins a prize, that is, a plurality of types of the specific small winning combination. Although it is a configuration to be provided, there is only one type of specific small winning combination, and when the specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode of winning the specific small winning combination, one specific small winning combination is always won. Is also good.

Further, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, one piece is always won. If different 1-card A and 1-card B are provided, the specific small win + 1-card A is won, and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode that does not allow the specific small-feature to win, 1-card A wins and the specific small-feature + 1-card. When B wins and the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination is not won, one piece B is provided with a winning configuration, that is, a plurality of types of symbol combinations derived when the specific small winning combination is not won. It may be configured.

In this embodiment, in the normal section, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, it does not matter whether the specific small winning combination A or B is won or one is won. Instead, it shifts to the advantageous section. Therefore, in the normal section, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, it is advantageous to win the specific small winning combination A and B.

Further, in this embodiment, after the setting change state is completed, when the game is controlled to the normal game state (non-internal) and the normal section, in most cases, the advantageous section transition combination is won in 1 to 2 games, which is advantageous. While shifting to the section, it takes about 14 games for the BB to win and shift to the normal gaming state (inside), and after shifting to the advantageous section, during the period controlled to the normal state, For a while, it will be controlled to the normal gaming state (non-internal). On the other hand, the configuration symbol of the BB on the left reel is "white 7", and the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, and one of the specific small winning combination A and B is won without being won. (When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode (left red area) where the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the red 7 area), even if the BB wins alone, the BB wins a prize and shifts to the special game state. There is no such thing as a reel. Therefore, in the normal state after the transition to the advantageous section, the player wins the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1, and the player wins one without winning the specific small winning combination A and B. That is, when the game is played in an operation mode with high digestion efficiency of the game, the BB is controlled to the normal game state (non-internal) during the period controlled to the normal state after shifting to the advantageous section. It is possible to avoid winning a prize and being controlled to a specific game state as much as possible.

In this embodiment, in the CZ state and the AT state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, even if the specific small winning combination A and B are won, the specific small winning combination A Even if B is not won, the common 3rd AT lottery (middle) or the common additional lottery (middle) is executed in the CZ state, and the common additional lottery (low) is executed in the AT state. In the AT state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, it is advantageous to win the specific small winning combination A and B.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal state, the case where the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won is weaker in the internal lottery. Since the average value of the winning values in the normal game number shortening lottery is larger than that in the case where the chance replays A and B are won, the advantage is higher. In addition, in the precursory state, if the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery and the specific small wins A and B are not won, the weak chance replays A and B will be in the internal lottery. The probability that the AT state will be won in the second AT lottery is higher than in the case of winning, and the number of games controlled to the AT state in the first additional lottery is likely to be added, so that the advantage is high. On the other hand, in the CZ state, when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the AT is in the third AT lottery than when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. The probability that the state will be won is high, and the number of games controlled to the AT state is likely to be added in the second additional lottery, so that the advantage is high. Further, in the AT state, when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the AT is in the third additional lottery than when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. The advantage is high because the number of games controlled by the state is easily added.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal state, when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and the specific small winning combination is won. If A and B are not won, the average value of the winning values in the normal game number shortening lottery is larger than when the weak chance replays A and B are won, so it is easy to end the normal state with a small number of games. Therefore, the advantage is high. In addition, in the precursory state, when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and the specific small wins A and B are won. If not, the probability that the AT state will be won in the second AT lottery is higher than when the weak chance replays A and B are won, and the number of games controlled to the AT state in the first additional lottery is likely to be added, which is advantageous. The degree becomes high. In the CZ state, if the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the weak chance replays A and B are won if the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. The probability that the AT state will be won in the third AT lottery is higher than in the case of the above, and the number of games controlled to the AT state in the second additional lottery is likely to be added, so that the advantage is high. In the AT state, if the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the weak chance replays A and B are won if the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. The advantage is higher because the number of games controlled to the AT state is more likely to be added in the third additional lottery than in the case of doing so.

Further, in this embodiment, in the precursory state of transition to the CZ state within at least 20 games, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won. If the weak chance replays A and B and the strong chance replays A and B are won, and if neither the first or second AT lottery is won, the second AT lottery is performed, while the first and second ATs are performed. If one of the lottery is won, the first additional lottery will be performed, and in the situation where the transition to the AT state has already been decided in the precursor state, the transition to the AT state has been decided. If there is no situation, even if the lottery condition that triggers the second AT lottery is satisfied, the establishment of the lottery condition will not be wasted. In particular, the selection that the specific small wins A and B were won, the specific small wins A and B were not won, and the specific small wins A and B were not won even though the 15 medals could not be paid out. Is not wasted.

[About lottery flag rewriting process]
The main control unit 41 performs a normal game number shortening lottery, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery based on the value of the lottery flag 2. Specifically, when the value of the lottery flag 2 is "0", the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not performed, and the value of the lottery flag 2 is "1" to "3". In either case, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed with a probability corresponding to the value of the lottery flag 2. In addition, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, only when one is won without winning the specific small winning combination A and B, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery If the specific small wins A and B are won, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery will not be performed, so the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 will be won. Sometimes, it is necessary to specify whether the specific small wins A and B have won or one has won. On the other hand, in the lottery flag 2 set according to the result of the internal lottery (winning number), when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, whether the specific small winning combination A or B wins or not. Since it is not possible to specify whether one piece has won, a lottery flag is required after all reels are stopped so that it can be specified whether specific small wins A and B have won or one piece has won. It is necessary to rewrite 2. Therefore, the main control unit 41 sets "3" as the value of the lottery flag 2 when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, and after all reels are stopped, one winning a prize. In that case, while maintaining the value "3" of the lottery flag 2, when the specific small wins A and B win, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0", so that the normal game The lottery flag rewriting process is performed to exclude the number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery.

FIG. 11A is a flowchart showing the control contents of the lottery flag rewriting process performed by the main control unit 41 after all reels are stopped in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11A, in the lottery flag rewriting process, the main control unit 41 first determines whether or not the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 have been won (Sb1).

When it is determined in Sb1 that the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, the number of medals to be paid out is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the number of acquired medals to be paid out is 15. (Sb2).

If it is determined in Sb2 that the number of medals to be paid out is 15, that is, if either the specific small winning combination A or B wins, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" and the lottery is performed. Ends the flag rewriting process and returns to the original process.

If it is determined in Sb1 that the specific small wins A and B have not been won, the lottery flag rewriting process is terminated and the original process is restored without rewriting the value of the lottery flag 2.

Further, when it is determined in Sb2 that the number of medals to be paid out is not 15, that is, when one of the specified small winning combinations A and B is not won and one is won, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten. Instead, the lottery flag rewriting process is terminated and the original process is restored.

In this way, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2, and either the specific small winning combination A or B is set. When a prize is won, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process, so that the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not performed. On the other hand, if the specific small wins A and B do not win and one wins, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is maintained without being rewritten by the lottery flag rewriting process, so that the number of normal games is shortened by lottery. , The second AT lottery and the first additional lottery are held.

In addition, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2, and either the specific small winning combination A or B wins. In that case, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process performed after all reels are stopped, and it is not subject to the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery. Since "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2 at the start of the game, when the value of the lottery flag 2 is "3" at the start of the game. , Specified small winning combination A + 1 and specific small winning combination B + 1 are specified, and regardless of whether specific small winning combination A or B wins or one wins, the 3rd AT lottery, 2nd addition It is possible to perform a lottery and a third additional lottery. That is, when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won, the target regardless of whether the specific small wins A and B win or one wins using the common lottery flag 2. It is possible to specify both whether or not to perform the lottery, and whether or not to perform the target lottery only when one of the specific small wins A and B does not win.

Further, in the lottery flag rewriting process, it is determined whether or not the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 have been won, and if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 have been won, the payout is made. By determining whether or not the number of cards is 15 when the specific small wins A and B are won, and when it is determined that the number of payouts is not 15, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is maintained. , Normal game number shortening lottery, 2nd AT lottery, 1st additional lottery are performed, so when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, specify the symbol combination stopped on the reel. It is possible to specify whether the specific small wins A and B have won the prize, or whether the specific small wins A and B have not won and one has won the prize. In particular, when a plurality of types of specific small wins with a payout number of 15 are provided as in this embodiment, the specific small win A, without determining whether or not each type of specific small win has won a prize, It becomes possible to determine whether or not B has won a prize.

[About a modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process]
FIG. 11B is a flowchart showing a control content of a modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process performed by the main control unit 41 after all reels are stopped in this embodiment.

In the modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process, if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, one is always won and specified. It is assumed that one piece will not win unless the small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won. In addition, a lottery flag N is provided, and the value of the lottery flag N is "1" when the weak chance replays A and B are won, "2" when the strong chance replays A and B are won, and the specific small winning combination A + 1 is specified. When "0" is set when the small winning combination B + 1 is won and the value of the lottery flag N is "0", the lottery flag N is not performed in the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery. When the value of is any of "1" to "3", the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed with a probability corresponding to the value of the lottery flag N.

As shown in FIG. 11B, the main control unit 41 first determines whether or not one symbol combination has stopped in the modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process (Sc1).

If it is determined in Sc1 that the combination of one symbol has stopped, that is, if one of the specific small winning combinations A and B does not win and one of them wins, the value of the lottery flag N "0" is changed to "3". The rewriting and lottery flag rewriting processing is completed and the original processing is restored.

If it is determined in Sc1 that the combination of one symbol has not stopped, the lottery flag rewriting process is terminated and the original process is restored without rewriting the value of the lottery flag 2.

In this way, in the modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process, if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, one is always won and one is won. In a configuration in which one card does not win except when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, it is determined whether or not one symbol combination has stopped, and it is determined that one symbol combination has stopped. In that case, by rewriting the value "0" of the lottery flag N to "3", the normal number of games shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed, so that the specific small winning combination A + 1 When the number of cards and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, it is only necessary to determine whether or not the symbol combination stopped on the reel is one symbol combination. When the winning combination B + 1 is won, it can be specified that the specific small winning combination A and B have not won and one has won. In addition, if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won and the specific small winning combination A and B do not win, the unique symbol combination is stopped. It is possible to recognize that the first additional lottery can be performed.

[Navigation notification (navigation production), specific small role winning production]
Next, the navigation notification (navigation effect) and the specific small winning combination winning effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the normal state and the precursor state, and the navigation small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification. No, the sub control unit 91 also does not execute the navigation effect. Further, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the CZ state and the AT state, and the navigation small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and the sub control unit. 91 executes a navigation effect.

In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the normal state and the precursor state, that is, when the navigation small winning combination is won and the navigation notification is not performed, the specific small winning combination A + 1 in the internal lottery. When either the sheet or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification, and the sub control unit 91 also does not execute the navigation effect. In addition, when the game section is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the CZ state and the AT state, that is, when the navigation notification is performed when the navigation small combination is won, the specific small combination A + 1 piece in the internal lottery. When any of the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification, and the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect.

As described above, in the CZ state and the AT state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, it is advantageous to win the specific small winning combination A and B. Further, the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are won when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won is the operation mode in which the main small winning combination is won when some of the navigation small winning combinations are won. include. Therefore, in the CZ state and the AT state in which the navigation notification is performed when the navigation small winning combination is won, the sub control unit 91 receives the navigation small winning combination when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won. By executing the same navigation effect as when it is won, the operation mode for winning the specific small winning combination A and B is notified, and in the CZ state and the AT state, the specific small winning combination is notified. When A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, it is possible to promote the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are won without making the player aware of it.

The sub-control unit 91 can execute the specific small winning combination winning effect when the main small winning combination, the specific small winning combination A, and the specific small winning combination B, which are accompanied by the payout of 15 medals, are awarded. As shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control unit 91 has a specific small winning combination when the navigation small winning combination is won and the main small winning combination is won in the internal lottery regardless of the gaming section or the advantageous section state. Perform a winning production. On the other hand, when the advantageous section state of the normal section and the advantageous section is the normal state and the precursor state, the sub-control unit 91 wins either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 in the internal lottery. When the specific small winning combination A and B win, the specific small winning combination winning effect is not executed, and when the advantageous section state of the advantageous section is the CZ state and the AT state, that is, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 When either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won and the specific small winning combination A or B wins when the navigation notification and the navigation effect are executed when the card is won. Executes the specific small winning combination winning effect in the same production mode as when the navigation small winning combination is won and the main small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the CZ state and the AT state, when either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the navigation notification and the navigation notification are performed in the same manner as when the navigation small winning combination is won. The navigation effect is executed, and in such a situation, either the specific small role A + 1 or the specific small role B + 1 is won and the navigation notification and the navigation effect are executed, and the specific small role A, When B wins and is accompanied by the same 15 payouts as the main small role, the specific small role winning effect is executed in the same production mode as when the main small role wins, so the CZ state and AT state In the case where the specific small winning combination A and B win a prize and the 15 medals are paid out, it is possible to notify the fact without discomfort, and it is also possible to reduce the data capacity required for the specific small winning combination winning effect.

On the other hand, in the normal state and the precursory state, when either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, if one of the specific small winning combination A or B is not won, one is won. There is a possibility that a lottery for shortening the number of normal games, a second AT lottery, and a first additional lottery will be held, and it is not always advantageous to win specific small wins A and B. Therefore, in this embodiment, when either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won in the normal state and the precursory state, the specific small winning combination A or B wins and 15 medals are awarded. Even if it is accompanied by granting, the specific small winning combination prize production is not executed, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state and the precursor state, the specific small winning combination A and B are selected. It is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the case where the prize is won is higher for the player than the case where the specific small wins A and B do not win and one piece wins.

Further, as described above, in the normal section, when either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the person who wins the specific small winning combination A or B wins the specific small winning combination A or B. It is more advantageous than the case where one medal is won without winning, but even if the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect will be displayed as in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. In a situation where it is not performed, that is, in a normal section where the situation is similar to the normal state and the precursor state, if either the specific small winning combination A + 1 or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the specific small winning combination A or B wins. Even when 15 medals are awarded, the specific small winning combination prize production is not executed, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state and the precursory state, It is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the specific small wins A and B are more advantageous to the player than the case where the specific small wins A and B are not won and one is won. ..

[About general role suggestion production]
Next, the general role suggestion production will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the sub-control unit 91 wins a general combination when the game section on the main control unit 41 side is a normal section or is an advantageous section and the advantageous section state is the normal state and the precursor state. It is possible to carry out a general role suggestion effect that suggests. In the general role suggestion effect, any one of the color of the image or character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the color of the area surrounding the reel in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and the emission color of the effect LED 57 is used. By setting the color corresponding to the winning general role, it is suggested that the corresponding general role is won.

In this embodiment, normal replays A to C are blue, navigation small role is yellow, strong / weak chance replay A is red, strong / weak chance replay B is green, specific small role A + 1, specific small role B + 1 sheet, 1 Each sheet corresponds to white.

In addition, the general role suggestion effect is when the game starts (at the start operation), when the reel stops first (at the first stop), when the reel stops second (at the time of the second stop), and 3 It is executed at any timing when the reel is stopped third (at the time of the third stop).

When the normal replays A to C are won in the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the general role suggestion effect with a probability of 50%, and in that case, either at the start operation or at the first stop. At that timing, the general role suggestion effect in blue is executed.

Further, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 has a 50% probability of a general stop operation when the main small winning combination of the winning navigation small winning combination is won. In addition to executing the role suggestion effect, in that case, the general role suggestion effect in yellow is executed at either the second stop or the third stop.

Further, when the strong chance replay A and the weak chance replay A are won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the general role suggestion effect with a 100% probability, and in that case, at the time of the start operation, At any of the timings of the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop, the general role suggestion effect in red is executed.

Further, when the strong chance replay B and the weak chance replay B are won in the internal lottery, the sub control unit 91 executes the general role suggestion effect with a 100% probability, and in that case, at the time of the start operation, At any of the timings of the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop, the general role suggestion effect in green is executed.

Further, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes the general combination suggestion effect with a 100% probability, and in that case, the start operation. At the timing of the time, the general role suggestion effect in white is executed.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state and the precursory state, whether the specific small winning combination A or B is won and 15 medals are obtained. , Select whether to shorten the number of normal games by the normal game number shortening lottery by winning one piece without winning the specific small wins A and B, or to get the opportunity of the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery. Is possible. In such a configuration, in this embodiment, the winning general role is suggested and the specific small is specified by executing the general role suggestion effect that suggests the winning of the general role by the color corresponding to the winning general role. When the role A + 1 and the specific small role B + 1 are won and the general role suggestion effect is executed, the normal replays A to C, the navigation small role, the strong chance replay A, the weak chance replay A, and the strong chance replay B , Since the general role suggestion effect is executed in white, which is different from the color corresponding to the weak chance replay B, when the general role suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to distinguish it from the winning of other roles. Yes, when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the normal state and the precursor state, the specific small wins A and B are won to win 15 medals, or the specific small wins A and B are obtained. It becomes easy to select whether to reduce the number of normal games by the normal game number shortening lottery by winning one card without winning the prize, or to obtain the opportunity of the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery.

In addition, in the general role suggestion production that suggests the winning of normal replays A to C, navigation small role, strong chance replay A, weak chance replay A, strong chance replay B, and weak chance replay B, at the start of the game and at the first stop. , While the general combination suggestion effect is executed at any of the timings of the second stop and the third stop, when the specific small combination A + 1 and the specific small combination B + 1 are won, the start operation is always performed. At that time, that is, at the timing before the stop operation becomes effective, the general combination suggestion effect suggesting the winning of the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 is executed. You can win 15 medals by winning small wins A and B, or you can win one without winning specific small wins A and B to shorten the number of regular games by lottery, or you can shorten the number of regular games by lottery. You can choose whether to get the opportunity of 2AT lottery or the first additional lottery.

In addition, when the normal replays A to C and the navigation small role are won, the general role winning suggestion effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and even if the normal replays A to C and the navigation small role are won, the general role winning suggestion effect is executed. On the other hand, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, the general role suggestion effect suggesting the winning of the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 is always executed. In the normal state and the precursory state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, it is possible to be sure to recognize that fact, and the specific small winning combination A and B are won. Let them win 15 medals, or let them win one without winning specific small wins A and B to shorten the number of normal games by the normal game number shortening lottery, or the second AT lottery, the first additional lottery You can choose to get the opportunity.

In addition, even when one piece is won, the white general role suggestion effect common to the case where the specific small role A + 1 piece and the specific small role B + 1 piece are won is executed, and the specific small role A + 1 piece is specified. It is possible to increase the chances that it is suggested that the small winning combination B + 1 has been won, and whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 have been won, or if one has won, the specific small winning combination If the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the roles A and B are not won and one is won, one of them will be won, so that the white general role suggestion effect is executed and one is If a prize is won, the number of normal games can be shortened by the lottery for shortening the number of normal games, or it can be expected that the opportunity for the first additional lottery has been obtained.

Further, as described above, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal section, the person who wins the specific small winning combination A and B wins the specific small winning combination A and B. It is more advantageous than the case where one piece is won, but even if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal section, the specific small winning combination A + 1 is obtained in the normal state and the precursor state of the advantageous section. , Even if a specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, a common general role suggestion effect is executed, and whether it is a normal section or a normal state or a precursor state of an advantageous section is determined by the liquid crystal display. It can be specified only by turning on / off the section display LED 19, which is less noticeable than the effect device such as 51, and it is difficult to specify whether it is a normal section, a normal state or a precursor state in an advantageous section. Therefore, in the normal state or the precursor state in the advantageous section, the number of normal games is shortened by the normal game number shortening lottery by winning one piece without winning the specific small wins A and B, or the opportunity of the first additional lottery is obtained. It is possible to make a difference in the advantage depending on whether or not the player who has selected the operation mode can identify that it is a normal section.

[Regarding the production of shortening the number of normal games]
Next, the effect of shortening the number of normal games will be described. The sub-control unit 91 displays the number of games since the start of the normal state in the normal state and the precursor state on the liquid crystal display 51, and the strong chance replays A and B and the weak chance replays A and B are won in the normal state. When the normal game number shortening lottery is performed, the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won, and one is won without winning the specific small wins A and B, and the normal game number shortening lottery is performed. When this is performed, after displaying the number of shortened games on the liquid crystal display 51, the normal number of games shortening effect is executed in which the number of shortened games is added to the number of games since the start of the normal state.

In addition, when the strong chance replays A and B and the weak chance replays A and B are won in the precursory state, the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won, and one specific small win A and B are not won. If a prize is won, the lottery for shortening the number of games is not normally performed, but if the strong chance replays A and B and the weak chance replays A and B are won in the precursory state, the sub-control unit 91 has a specific small winning combination A + 1. Even if one piece or a specific small winning combination B + 1 is won and one piece is won without winning the specific small winning combination A or B, the normal number of games shortening effect is executed.

In this case, if the strong chance replays A and B and the weak chance replays A and B are won in the precursory state, the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won, and the specific small wins A and B are won. The number of shortened games displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is determined according to the results of the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery, which are performed when one piece is won, and the determined number of shortened games is set on the liquid crystal display. After displaying the display on 51, the normal number of games shortening effect of adding the number of shortened games to the number of games since the start of the normal state is executed. At this time, when the second AT lottery is performed, it is easy to determine a larger number of shortened games when the AT state is won than when the AT state is not won, and when the first additional lottery is performed. Is easier to determine the number of shortened games when the extra is won than when the extra is not won, and when a large number of shortened games is displayed in the normal game number shortening effect, it is in the normal state. Regardless of whether it is in a precursory state or in a precursory state, a favorable situation is suggested for the player.

[About precursor production]
Next, the execution status of the effect in the advantageous section state will be described with reference to FIG. At the end of the game, the main control unit 41 transmits a state command capable of identifying the state of the next game to the sub control unit 91. The state command can specify whether the advantageous section state of the next game is a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ state, or an AT state. Further, in the normal state, the number of normal games can be specified, and in the precursor state, the number of remaining games in the precursor state can be specified.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the sub control unit 91 specifies from the state command that the main control unit 41 side is in the normal state, the sub control unit 91 executes a normal effect corresponding to the normal state.

As shown in FIG. 14A, when the main control unit 41 side specifies the transition from the normal state to the precursor state from the state command, the sub control unit 91 ends the normal effect and has a different effect mode from the normal effect. Start the precursory production. Further, when it is specified from the state command that the number of remaining games in the precursor state is 3 games, the precursor effect is terminated and the CZ suggestion effect suggesting the transition to the CZ state is started. After that, when it is specified from the state command that the number of remaining games in the precursor state has reached 0, the next game is started after notifying that the game shifts to the CZ state, and the transition from the precursor state to the CZ state is performed. , The CZ suggestion effect is ended and the CZ effect corresponding to the CZ state is started.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the sub control unit 91 specifies from the state command that the main control unit 41 side is in the normal state and the number of normal games has reached a predetermined number, a precursor effect is produced. Decide whether to execute. The predetermined number of games is the number of games that are easy to win by the normal game number lottery, or the maximum value that is won by the normal game number lottery of modes A and B, and is the number of games that are likely to end the normal state. Then, when the sub control unit 91 decides to execute the precursor effect, the sub control unit 91 ends the normal effect and starts the precursor effect. Further, the sub-control unit 91 is a period corresponding to a period from the state command to the start of the CZ suggestion effect when the main control unit 41 side is in the precursor state (7 in this embodiment). When it is specified that the game (game to 17 games) has passed, the precursor effect is ended and the CZ suggestion effect is started. After that, when it is specified that three games have passed by starting the precursor effect from the state command, after notifying that the game does not shift to the CZ state, the next game is started to end the CZ suggestion effect and perform the normal effect. To start.

As described above, in the present embodiment, while the precursor effect is always executed in the precursor state, the precursor effect may be executed even in the normal state, and by executing the precursor effect, the precursor state is controlled. Since it is suggested that the game is in a precursory state, that is, a state in which the game shifts to the CZ state within 20 games can be expected.

Further, in the normal state, the precursor effect is executed when the number of games that are likely to end the normal state and shift to the precursor state is reached. Therefore, the precursor effect is executed to be the precursor state. You can expect it to be highly probable.

Further, as described above, if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the precursory state and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won, the normal game number reduction lottery is not performed. , The 2nd AT lottery or the 1st additional lottery is performed, so even in a situation where a precursory effect is executed and it is suggested that there is a possibility of a precursory state, one piece is won without winning the specific small wins A and B. It is possible to prompt the selection of the operation mode for winning a prize.

[About the game auxiliary display]
Next, the configuration and display mode of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

As shown in FIG. 15A, the game auxiliary display 12 includes a first segment A, a second segment B, a third segment C, a fourth segment D, a fifth segment E, a sixth segment F, and a seventh segment. It consists of two indicators 12L and 12R that can turn on / off the G and 8th segment DP, respectively, and the main control unit 41 sets display data for each of the indicators 12L and 12R, so that the first to first ones It is a display capable of displaying various information by turning on or off the 8-segments A to DP.

As shown in FIG. 15B, the display data is composed of 8-bit data, and the value of the 7th bit of the display data is the first segment A, and the value of the 6th bit is the second segment B. The value of the 5th bit is the 3rd segment C, the value of the 4th bit is the 4th segment D, the value of the 3rd bit is the 5th segment E, the value of the 2nd bit is the 6th segment F, and the value of the 1st bit is The values of the 7th segment G and the 0th bit correspond to the 8th segment DP, respectively. The segment is controlled to the non-lighting state when the value of the corresponding bit is 0, and is controlled to the lighting state when the value of the corresponding bit is 1.

As shown in FIG. 15C, when the main control unit 41 displays the display value on each of the indicators 12L and 12R of the auxiliary display 12, the display value is first displayed in the display data for each of the indicators 12L and 12R. After conversion, the display data is set in the output buffer of the corresponding indicators 12L and 12R, and the lighting / extinguishing signal based on the display data is output from the output port to each indicator 12L and 12R by the port output processing in the subsequent timer interrupt processing. Then, by setting the first to eighth segments A to DP of the indicators 12L and 12R to the lit state or the non-lit state, the display values are displayed on the indicators 12L and 12R of the auxiliary indicator 12. For example, when displaying "1" as a display value on the display 12L, the display value "1" is converted to the display data "01100,000" and "01100,000" is set in the output buffer of the display 12L. Then, by outputting the lighting / extinguishing signal corresponding to the first to eighth segments A to DP of the display 12L from the output port to the display 12L by the port output processing in the timer interrupt processing, "1" is displayed in the display data. The 2nd and 3rd segments B and C of the display 12L corresponding to the set 6th and 5th bits are lit, and the 7th and 4th to 0th bits in which "0" is set in the display data are set. The first segment A and the fourth to eighth segments D to DP of the display 12L corresponding to the above are turned off, and "1" is displayed on the display 12L.

In this way, the main control unit 41 controls a plurality of segments of the indicators 12L and 12R to be in a lit state or a non-lit state, so that a predetermined number (“0” to “9”) or a symbol is displayed as a display value. Various information can be displayed by displaying (for example, "-", ".", Etc.) and alphabetic characters (for example, "E", etc.) in one or two digits. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the number of medals to be paid out (0 to 15), the navigation notification (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode, and the error code (E1 to) capable of identifying the type of error occurring. E8), it is possible to display a setting code (−−) that can identify the setting change state.

[About the display status of the game assistance display]
Next, the display status of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 22.

As shown in FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 initializes the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R when the medal is inserted into the medal insertion unit 4 or the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. , The game auxiliary display 12 is hidden.

As shown in FIG. 17A, when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is not performed, the main control unit 41 continues to be hidden until all reels are stopped, and all reels are stopped. In addition, when the third stop operation is turned off and the small winning combination wins and is accompanied by the awarding of medals, the number of payouts given by the winning of the small winning combination is acquired, and the acquired number of payouts is displayed on the display 12L. , It is converted into display data for each 12R and set in the output buffer of the displays 12L and 12R, so that the game auxiliary display 12 displays the number of payouts (1 to 15). After that, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts until the bet number of the next game is set even after the end of the game, and when the bet number of the next game is set, the display is as described above. By initializing the output buffers of 12L and 12R and hiding the game auxiliary display 12, the display of the number of payouts in the previous game is completed. If all the reels are stopped, the small winning combination is not won, and the medal is not given, the game auxiliary display 12 is kept hidden.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 starts the rotation of the reel, and then the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is performed. By converting the number indicating the operation mode into the display data for each display 12L and 12R at the activated timing and setting it in the output buffer of the display 12L and 12R, the number indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. (1 to 13) are displayed. After that, when all reels are stopped and the third stop operation is turned off, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is hidden to end the navigation display. Let me. Further, when the small winning combination wins and is accompanied by the awarding of medals, after the predetermined waiting period has elapsed, the number of payouts given by the small winning combination is acquired, and the acquired number of payouts is displayed every 12L and 12R. The number of payouts (1 to 15) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 by converting the data into the display data of the above and setting the data in the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. After that, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts until the bet number of the next game is set even after the end of the game, and when the bet number of the next game is set, the display is as described above. By initializing the output buffers of 12L and 12R and hiding the game auxiliary display 12, the display of the number of payouts in the previous game is completed. If all the reels are stopped, the small winning combination is not won, and the medal is not given, the game auxiliary display 12 is kept hidden.

As shown in FIG. 18, when the main control unit 41 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag corresponding to the error type of the detected abnormality in the error flag setting area of the RAM 41c, and the game cannot proceed. The error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 by controlling the error state, converting the error code indicating the error type into display data for each display 12L and 12R, and setting it in the output buffer. Let me. After that, when the reset operation is performed by the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38, the error state is cleared by clearing the error flag so that the game can proceed, and the indicators 12L and 12R By initializing the output buffer of the above and hiding the game auxiliary display 12, the display of the error code is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 19, after the small winning combination is won, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display 12, and after the power supply is stopped. When the setting key switch 37 detects the ON state when the power supply is restarted, a game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed is set and set in the game state flag setting area different from the above-mentioned error flag setting area in the RAM 41c. By shifting to the changed state, converting the setting code that can identify the setting changed state into display data for each display 12L, 12R, and setting it in the output buffer of the display 12L, 12R, the game auxiliary display Display the setting code (−−) on the vessel 12. After that, when the set value is confirmed and the OFF state of the setting key switch 37 is detected, the main control unit 41 sets a game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed set in the game state flag setting area of the RAM 41c to the normal game state (normal game state). By changing to the game state flag indicating (non-internal), the setting change state is terminated, the game is shifted to the normal game state (non-internal), and the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized to play the game. The auxiliary display 12 is hidden.

The main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. Based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether or not an error code or setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, and the power supply is stopped. If it is determined that the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the operation, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. On the other hand, if it is determined that the error code or setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained to perform before the power supply. The error code or setting code displayed in is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 20, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display 12 after the end of the game, that is, information indicating the result of the game. Is displayed, after the power supply is stopped, when the power supply is restarted, the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected, and the state after the end of the game before the power supply is stopped is displayed. When returning, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R.

Further, although not particularly shown, the main control unit 41 is executing the navigation notification, and the power supply is stopped in a state where the number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. After that, when the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted and the state is returned to the running state of the navigation notification before the power supply is stopped, the indicators 12L and 12R are used. By initializing the output buffer, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden. In this case, after the reel rotation is restarted, the main control unit 41 converts the number indicating the operation mode into display data at the timing when the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is enabled, and the display 12L again. By setting the output buffer of 12R, the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed with the numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 is in an error state, and in a state where the error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the power is stopped after the power supply is stopped. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the supply is restarted and the error state is restored before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained to generate power. The error code displayed before the supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 is in the setting change state, and the setting code (−−) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and after the power supply is stopped, the power is supplied. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the supply is restarted and the setting is returned to the setting change state before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained. The setting code displayed before the power supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

In this way, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. In addition, if the number of payouts, that is, the display according to the result of the game continues on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply is stopped, the game auxiliary display 12 is not turned on when the power supply is restarted. Display state. As a result, when the power supply is stopped while the display of the number of payouts is continued on the game auxiliary display 12, the power supply is started and the setting is changed to the setting change state, and the set value is set. Even if there is, even if the power supply starts and does not shift to the setting change state and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped, the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-display state in each case. So, it is not possible to guess whether the set value has been changed. At this time, the number of payouts before the power supply is stopped is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and even if the number of payouts is hidden after the power supply is restarted, the number of payouts is before the power supply is stopped. It is the result of the game and does not affect the game after the power supply is resumed.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. , When the game is in an error state or setting change state in which the game cannot proceed when the power supply is stopped, and an error code indicating the error state or a setting code indicating the setting change state is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Displays the error code and setting code that were displayed before the power supply was stopped on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply was restarted, so that the game progressed when the power supply was restarted. It is possible to identify that it is in a state where it cannot be done.

[About the initialization judgment of the game auxiliary display]
As described above, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. In this case, based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether or not the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped. Based on the determination result, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized and the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden, or the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is displayed. Decide whether to keep the display state.

The number of payouts displayed on the game assistance display 12 is a value of 1 to 15, and the value displayed on the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game assistance display 12 is the displayed value. Any value from 1 to 13 is in the non-lighting state. Further, the numbers indicating the operation modes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 are values 1 to 13, and even in this case, the 7th display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12. The segment G is in the non-lighting state regardless of the displayed value of any of 1 to 13. On the other hand, the error codes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 are E1 to E8, and the displayed value of the 7th segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is the displayed value. Any value of E1 to E8 will be in the lighting state. Further, the setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is −−, and even in this case, the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the lit state. Become. Therefore, an error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 depending on whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the lit state or not lit. Alternatively, the setting code is displayed, or the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 (the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and the operation mode is shown. It is possible to identify whether the number is displayed or hidden).

Then, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. , Before the power supply is stopped by determining whether the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-lighting state or the lighting state. It is determined whether or not an error code or a setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23A, the main control unit 41 is set in the output buffer of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12. (Sd1), AND operation is performed with the acquired display data of the display 12L and 02H (hexary number) (Sd2), and it is determined whether or not the calculation result is 0 (Sd3), and the calculation result is When it is determined to be 0, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized (Sd4) to hide the game auxiliary indicator 12, while the calculation result is determined to be non-zero in Sd3. Maintains the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R, and returns the game auxiliary indicator 12 to the display state before the power supply is stopped.

In this way, by performing AND calculation (Sd2) between the display data of the display 12L acquired in Sd1 and 02H (hexadecimal number), the value of the first bit corresponding to the 7th segment G can be obtained in 02H (hexadecimal number). Since the value of the bit corresponding to the other segment at 1 is 000000010 (binary number), the display data of the display 12L acquired by Sd1 is 000000000000 (binary number), that is, the 7th. When the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state / non-lighting state of the segment G is 0 indicating the non-lighting state, the calculation result of Sd2 is 00000000000 (binary number), and the 7th segment G of the display 12L Is not lit, and the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 as described above (the state in which the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the operation mode). In this case, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized, and the display state before the power supply is stopped is specified. Regardless of this, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden.

On the other hand, when the display data of the display 12L acquired in Sd1 is 000000010 (binary number), that is, the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state / non-lighting state of the 7th segment G is 1 indicating the lighting state. In that case, the calculation result of Sd2 is 000000010 (binary number) and not 0000000000 (binary number). Therefore, it is specified that the 7-segment G of the display 12L is in the lit state, and the game is played as described above. Since it is specified that the error code or the setting code is displayed on the auxiliary display 12, in this case, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary display 12 supplies power. Will return to the display state before the stop, that is, the state in which the error code or setting code is displayed.

Further, as a method of determining whether or not the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, is the error state in which the error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. , It is also possible to adopt a method of determining whether or not the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 in the setting change state. When this method is adopted, in this embodiment, the error flag indicating whether or not it is in the error state and the game state flag indicating whether or not it is in the setting change state are stored in different storage areas. , Error flag, and game status flag must be acquired and judged respectively.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23B, the main control unit 41 acquires the game state flag (Se1), and determines from the acquired game state flag whether or not the setting is changed (Se2). ), If it is determined that the setting is not changed, an error flag is acquired (Se3), and if it is determined from the acquired error flag whether or not it is in an error state (Se4), if it is determined that it is not in an error state, it is determined. , The output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized (Se5) to hide the game auxiliary indicator 12, while when it is determined that the setting is changed in Se2, it is determined that the Se4 is in an error state. In this case, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is returned to the display state before the power supply is stopped.

As described above, in the method of determining whether the state is an error state or the setting change state, five steps of Se1 to Se5 are required, and two branches are required, whereas FIG. 23 (a) ), The method of determining whether or not the 7-segment G of the display 12L is in the lit state requires only four steps of Sd1 to Sd4 and only one branch, which is an error state. The program capacity is smaller than the method of determining whether the setting is changed or not.

[Action effect 1]
In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can control the game section to either a normal section or an advantageous section, and in the advantageous section, there are a plurality of types including a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ state, and an AT state. It is possible to control to an advantageous section state. Further, in the normal state, as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games for shortening the number of games required to shift to the CZ state or the AT state can be executed, which is a precursor. In the state, as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state, the transition is made after the end of the second AT lottery, the precursor state, and the CZ state, which determines whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state. It is possible to execute the first additional lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state.

Further, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 stops the left reel at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By performing the operation (stop operation in the left white area), the specific small wins A and B with the granting of 15 medals are won, and the specific small wins A + 1 and the specific small wins B + 1 are won in the internal lottery. In this case, the left reel stop operation (stop operation in the left red area) is performed at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small wins A and B, so that the specific small wins A and B are awarded. Instead, one prize is awarded with one medal.

Then, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the main control unit 41 is a stop operation that is within the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. When the left reel is stopped at the timing, the normal game number shortening lottery is not executed in the normal state, neither the second AT lottery nor the first additional lottery is executed in the precursory state, and the specific small winning combination A and B When the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols, the number of games won in the normal game number shortening lottery is subtracted from the normal game number in the normal state, and the second AT lottery is performed in the precursor state. It is a configuration in which one of the first additional lottery is executed.

With such a configuration, in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, the left reel is stopped by stopping the left reel at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. Although it involves the granting of medals, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state are not performed, and it is out of the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. By stopping the left reel at the stop operation timing, 15 medals are not given, but one of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery is performed. Therefore, in the normal state and the CZ state in the advantageous section, the player performs a stop operation of the left reel at a stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B, and receives 15 medals. Or, whether to stop the left reel at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small wins A and B, and to perform one of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery. Since it becomes possible to select, it is possible to enhance the interest by being controlled to an advantageous section.

In this embodiment, as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state in the normal state, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games is performed to reduce the number of games required to shift to the CZ state or the AT state. Although it is a configuration, in the normal state, as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state, a CZ lottery for determining whether to shift to the CZ state or an AT lottery for determining whether to shift to the AT state. When the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. When the specific small winning combination A and B are won by the operation, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are not performed, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state. , If the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small wins A and B, and one piece is won without winning the specific small wins A and B, A CZ lottery or an AT lottery may be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the specific small winning combination, which is the trigger for making a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state in the normal state and the precursory state, is won, the operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination is not won. If this is the case, one medal will be won and one medal will be paid out. However, if the specific small winning combination is won and the specific small winning combination is operated in an operation mode that does not allow the specific small winning combination to win, the specific small winning combination will win the prize. A small winning combination with a smaller number of medals than the number of medals awarded (15 medals) may be awarded, or a loss mode without awarding medals may be stopped.

Further, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination, which is the trigger for making a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state in the normal state and the precursory state, is elected, the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination is set. The specific small winning combination wins by stopping the reel at the stop operation timing, and the specific small winning combination does not win by performing the stop operation at the stop operation timing that is outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination. However, when a specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed in a specific stop operation order, the specific small combination wins a prize and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the specific stop operation order. In addition, when a specific small winning combination is won, a stop operation is performed in a specific stop operation order, and at least one or more reels are stopped at a specific stop operation timing. When a specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the specific stop operation order, or when the stop operation is performed at a stop operation timing other than the specific stop operation timing, the specific small combination is performed. The composition may be such that the role does not win.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 lights the section display LED 19 in the advantageous section to notify that the section is advantageous, and in the normal section, the specific small combination that is the advantageous section transition combination in the internal lottery. When A + 1 and Specified Small Wins B + 1 are won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of Specified Small Wins A and B, and Specified Small Wins A and B win. Even in this case, even if the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B and the specific small winning combination A and B do not win and one piece wins, it is an advantageous section. It is a configuration to shift to.

With such a configuration, in the normal section, 15 medals are awarded by stopping the left reel at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B. , In order to shift to the advantageous section, when the section display LED 19 is turned off and it is specified that the player is controlled to the normal section, the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A and B It is advantageous to stop the left reel at the stop operation timing. In particular, when the player selects and plays a game in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B do not win and one piece wins in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, that is, the operation mode in which the digestion efficiency of the game is high. In the normal section, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the specific small wins A and B win, and in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, the specific small wins A and B do not win and one piece wins. It becomes more advantageous to perform the stop operation at the above, that is, to specify whether it is a normal section or a normal state and a precursor state in an advantageous section and change the operation mode.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a general combination suggestion effect suggesting that the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and the specific small winning combination A + 1 is possible in the normal section. , Even if the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, or if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, the common general role suggestion effect is executed. Is. With such a configuration, even if the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal section, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are obtained in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section. Even if is elected, a common general role suggestion effect is executed, and it becomes difficult for the player to identify whether it is a normal section or a normal state and a precursor state in the advantageous section, so that the player can perform the normal state in the advantageous section. And in the precursory state, when the specific small winning combination A and B do not win and one piece wins, that is, when the game is played by selecting the operation mode with high digestion efficiency of the game, it can be specified that it is an advantageous section. It is possible to make a difference in the advantage depending on whether or not it is.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a common specific small role winning effect when the main small role, the specific small role A, and B of the navigation small role accompanied by the granting of 15 medals are won. Yes, even if the specific small winning combination A and B win in the normal section, and even if the specific small winning combination A and B win in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, the specific small winning combination winning effect is not executed. .. With such a configuration, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed by performing the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B do not win and one piece wins. Despite the existence of the situation, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the specific small wins A and B win the prize, and it is mistakenly recognized that it is always advantageous to win the specific small wins A and B. Can be prevented.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to shift to the AT state after the end of the CZ state in the CZ state, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the CZ state, the end of the CZ state. It is possible to execute a second additional lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state that shifts later, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the AT state that shifts from the CZ state. It is possible to execute a third additional lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state, that is, a lottery that can increase the advantage in the AT state. Further, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, even if the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B win the prize, the specific small winning combination A + 1 is specified. Even if the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the small wins A and B do not win and one piece wins, either the 3rd AT lottery or the 2nd additional lottery is executed in the CZ state, and the 3rd additional lottery is executed in the AT state. It is a configuration to execute a lottery. With such a configuration, in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, 15 medals are given by performing the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B win, and the CZ state. And since any one of the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery regarding the advantage of the AT state is performed, the difference in the advantage between the normal state and the precursor state and the CZ state and the AT state can be increased. ..

In this embodiment, when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the normal game number shortening lottery in the normal state, and the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery in the precursory state. Either is executed, either the third AT lottery or the second additional lottery is executed in the CZ state, and the third additional lottery is executed in the AT state. In addition, the second AT, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games, is executed when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state and the specific small wins A and B are not won. The lottery and the first additional lottery are more advantageous than the normal game number reduction lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery that are executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state. The degree is high. On the other hand, the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery, which are executed when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, are the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state. This configuration has a higher advantage than the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery, which are executed when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won. With such a configuration, in the normal state and the precursory state, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery and it is selected not to receive 15 medals. While the advantage can be relatively increased, in the advantageous state, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and while receiving 15 medals, the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd The advantage when either the additional lottery or the third additional lottery is performed will not be excessively increased.

In this embodiment, when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the normal state, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games is performed as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state. When replays A and B are won, CZ lottery to decide whether to shift to the CZ state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0, AT state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0 It may be configured to perform an AT lottery to decide whether or not to shift to, and in such a configuration, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state, and the specific small winning combination A and B are won. In the normal state, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, which are executed when the game is not allowed, have a relatively lower winning probability than the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1. It may be configured to have a higher advantage than the CZ lottery and AT lottery performed when the chance replays A and B are won. With such a configuration, in the normal state, the specific small winning combination A + 1 is obtained in the internal lottery. , Specific small win B + 1 is won, and the advantage when choosing not to receive 15 medals can be relatively increased, and in the normal state, specific small win A + 1 and specific small win B + 1 By winning the winning cards and winning the specific small roles A and B, the period of the normal state is intentionally extended without shortening the number of normal games, and waiting for the weak chance replays A and B to be won, the CZ lottery and It is possible to prevent the advantage of receiving the AT lottery.

In this embodiment, when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 executes the normal game number shortening lottery in the normal state, and the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery in the precursory state. Either is executed, either the third AT lottery or the second additional lottery is executed in the CZ state, and the third additional lottery is executed in the AT state. In addition, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, which are executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, are inside in the normal state and the precursor state. It is more advantageous than the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, which are executed when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the lottery and the specific small wins A and B are not won. The degree is high. In addition, the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery, which are executed when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, are the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state. This configuration has a higher advantage than the third AT lottery, the second additional lottery, and the third additional lottery, which are executed when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won. With such a configuration, when strong chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state as well as in the CZ state and the AT state. Since it is more advantageous than the case where the combination B + 1 is won, it is possible to pay attention to the strong chance replays A and B being won.

In this embodiment, when the strong chance replays A and B are won in the normal state, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games is performed as a decision related to the transition to the CZ state and the AT state. When replays A and B are won, CZ lottery to decide whether to shift to the CZ state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0, AT state without waiting for the number of normal games to become 0 It may be configured to perform an AT lottery to decide whether or not to shift to, and in such a configuration, a strong chance replay with an extremely lower winning probability than the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 in the normal state. In the CZ lottery and AT lottery that are held when A and B are won, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the normal state and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won. It may be configured to have a higher advantage than the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery to be executed, and even in such a configuration, pay attention to the fact that the strong chance replays A and B are won. Can be made to.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, and determines whether or not the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination A + 1 are won. When it is determined that the winning combination B + 1 is won, the number of medals to be paid out is acquired, it is determined whether or not the number of acquired medals to be paid out is 15, and the number of medals to be paid out is 15. If it is determined that, that is, if either the specific small winning combination A or B wins, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not executed, and the number of medals to be paid out must be 15. When it is determined, that is, when one medal is won, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are executed. With such a configuration, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, whether the specific small winning combination A or B wins without specifying the symbol combination stopped on the reel. Since it is possible to specify whether the specific small wins A and B have not won and one has won, there are multiple types of stop modes that stop when the specific small win or the specific small win cannot be won. However, it does not complicate the determination as to whether or not the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and one piece wins.

Further, as described as a modified example in this embodiment, in the main control unit 41, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won. In this case, in the configuration where one card is always won and one card is not won except when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, first determine whether or not one symbol combination has stopped. If it is determined that one symbol combination has not stopped, it is determined that one symbol combination has stopped without executing the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery. In that case, that is, when one of the specific small wins A and B is not won and one is won, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery may be executed. With such a configuration, in the normal state and the precursor state, the symbol combination stopped on the reel becomes one symbol combination, so that the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed. In addition to being able to recognize that, only by determining whether or not the symbol combination stopped on the reel is one symbol combination, the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, and It is possible to specify that the operation was performed by the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small combinations A and B.

In this embodiment, the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination A + 1 winning and being derived to the winning line LN and the specific small winning combination B + 1 winning and being derived to the winning line LN are specified. When the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, the stop operation in the left white area is performed to control the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination A to be derived to the winning line LN, and the specific small winning combination is performed. When B + 1 card is won, the stop operation in the left white area is performed to control the derivation of the symbol combination of the specific small winning combination B to the winning line LN, and even when the specific small winning combination A + 1 card is won. Even if the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the stop operation in the left red area is performed to control the derivation of one symbol combination to the winning line LN. With such a configuration, there are various combinations of symbols that are stopped when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B do not win and one piece wins.

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, and the specific small winning combination A and B are not won and one is won, the stop operation is always 1 The structure is such that one piece is awarded, but for example, one piece A and one piece B having different symbol combinations are provided, a specific small winning combination + 1 piece A is won, and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination does not win. In this case, when 1 card A wins, a specific small winning combination + 1 card B wins, and a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination does not win, 1 card B wins a prize, that is, a specific small winning combination. A configuration may be provided in which a plurality of types of symbol combinations are provided to stop when the player does not win a prize. With such a configuration, a symbol combination that is stopped when a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which a specific small winning combination does not win a prize. Will be diverse.

Further, in this embodiment, both when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the stop operation in the left red area, that is, the stop operation is performed in a common operation mode. In this case, the specific small wins A and B do not win a prize. With such a configuration, the stop operation in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are not won without being aware of whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. It can be performed.

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, when the stop operation is performed in a common operation mode, the specific small winning combination A, B However, at least an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination does not win when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, and an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination does not win when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. The operation mode may be partially overlapped. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the stop operation position (timing at which the "red 7" symbol passes, etc.), which is a guideline for performing the stop operation without winning the specific small winning combinations A and B, is common. With the configuration, the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are not won without being aware of whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. Can be done.

Further, in this embodiment, both when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the stop operation in the left white area, that is, the stop operation is performed in a common operation mode. In this case, the specific small wins A and B win the prize. With such a configuration, the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are won without being aware of whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won or the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. It can be performed.

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, when the stop operation is performed in a common operation mode, the specific small winning combination A, B However, at least one of the operation modes in which the specific small winning combination is won when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination is won when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. The operation mode may be partially overlapped. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the stop operation position (timing at which the "white 7" symbol passes, etc.), which is a guideline for performing the stop operation for winning the specific small winning combinations A and B, is common. With the configuration, the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the specific small wins A and B are won without being aware of whether the specific small win A + 1 is won or the specific small win B + 1 is won. Can be done.

In this embodiment, the range of the red 7 area and the white 7 area on the left reel is the range of 10 consecutive symbols, which is half the range of one lap of the left reel, and the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1. Since the stop operation order does not matter when winning a specific small winning combination A, B or one sheet at the time of winning a card, the left reel stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A, B. That is, the number of stop operations in the left white area is the same as the number of stop operations in the left red area at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combinations A and B. It is a configuration that becomes. With such a configuration, when the operation mode is appropriately selected in the normal state and the precursor state, the ratio with the granting of 15 medals and the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery The ratio at which is performed is halved.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the general role suggestion effect suggesting the winning of the corresponding general role by the color corresponding to the general combination won in the normal state and the precursor state, and the normal replays A to C is blue, navigation small role is yellow, strong / weak chance replay A is red, strong / weak chance replay B is green, and specific small role A + 1 and specific small role B + 1 are normal replay A. The configuration corresponds to white, which is different from the colors corresponding to ~ C, Navi small role, strong / weak chance replay A, and strong / weak chance replay B. With such a configuration, it is normal replay A to C, navigation small role, strong / weak chance replay A that the specific small role A + 1 and the specific small role B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state. , Strong / weak chance Replay B can be distinguished and recognized.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the general role suggestion effect suggesting the winning of the general role in the normal state and the precursor state, and in the internal lottery, the normal replays A to C, the navigation small role, and the strong / weak If either Chance Replay A or Strong / Weak Chance Replay B is won, a general role suggestion effect is executed at any of the timings of the start of the game, the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop. It is possible, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the general combination suggestion effect is always executed at the start operation, that is, at the timing before the stop operation becomes effective. is there. With such a configuration, the winning of the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursory state is always at the start operation, that is, at the timing before the stop operation becomes effective. As suggested, when the specific small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the player wins the specific small wins A and B before the stop operation becomes effective. It is possible to select whether to perform the stop operation in the operation mode in which the prize is awarded, or to perform the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B are not won.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the general role suggestion effect suggesting the winning of the general role in the normal state and the precursor state, and when the normal replays A to C and the navigation small role are won in the internal lottery. In contrast to the case where the general role suggestion effect is executed and the case where the general role suggestion effect is not executed, when the specific small role A + 1 and the specific small role B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, the general role suggestion effect is always executed. It is a configuration to do. With such a configuration, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the general role suggestion effect is always executed. When the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, it is possible to be sure to recognize that fact, and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are won. Alternatively, it is possible to select whether to perform a stop operation in an operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B are not won.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 notifies that when the number of normal games is shortened by the normal game number shortening lottery in the normal state, or when the second AT lottery and the first additional lottery are performed in the precursory state. It is a configuration that can execute the suggestive effect of shortening the number of normal games. With such a configuration, as a result of the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combinations A and B are not won, one of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery is performed. Can be recognized by others.

In this embodiment, when any of the navigation small wins is won in the internal lottery and the main control unit 41 is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the winning navigation small win, 15 medals are given. If the main small role is won and the operation is performed in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the winning navigation small role, the sub small role with the awarding of one medal wins, or both roles win. It will not be lost. Further, when any of the navigation small wins is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, the sub control unit 91 can execute a navigation effect that prompts the operation mode corresponding to the winning navigation small win. The operation mode for winning the specific small wins A and B when the small win A + 1 and the specific small win B + 1 are won is included in the operation mode for winning the main small win when some navigation small wins are won. At the same time, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, the navigation effect common to the case where the navigation small winning combination is won is executed. With such a configuration, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the CZ state and the AT state, 15 medals are given without making the player aware of it. It is possible to urge the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B to be won are won.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 wins a common specific small winning combination when the main small winning combination, the specific small winning combination A, and the specific small winning combination B, which are accompanied by the granting of 15 medals, are won in the CZ state and the AT state. It is a configuration that can execute the production. With such a configuration, when the specific small winning combinations A and B win in the CZ state and the AT state, it is possible to notify the fact without discomfort.

In this embodiment, the probabilities that the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are 1345/65536, respectively, and the normal gaming state (non-internal middle). -It is a configuration that is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main and small roles in (internal middle). With such a configuration, the probability that the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 will be won in the internal lottery will not be excessively high.

In this embodiment, the small winning combination that can be won in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) includes the navigation small winning combination, the special small winning combination A + 1, and the special small winning combination B + 1, and the internal lottery in the special gaming state. The winning combination includes all the main small winning combination and the compound small winning combination 1 in which the specific small winning combination A and B are won, and the winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 is 2001/65536, which is a normal gaming state. It is higher than the winning probability of each of the main and small wins (2000/65536) in (non-internal middle and internal middle), and the winning probability of each of the specific small wins A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) (1345 / The configuration is set higher than 65536). With such a configuration, in the special gaming state, the probability that the derivation of the main small winning combination is allowed and the probability that the derivation of the specific small winning combination A and B is allowed are both in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). ) Can be increased.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute a lottery for shortening the number of normal games that shortens the number of normal games required until the end of the normal state in the normal state in which the game does not shift to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games. In the precursory state of shifting to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, the second AT lottery for determining whether or not to control the AT state after the end of the CZ state is controlled, and the AT state shifts after the end of the CZ state. It is a configuration in which the first additional lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add the number of games. With such a configuration, even if it is a normal state in which the game does not shift to the CZ state within the predetermined number of games, or a precursory state in which the game shifts to the CZ state within the predetermined number of games, the internal lottery specifies. When the small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won, there is no excessive difference in the advantage due to selecting the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are not won.

In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is configured to execute a precursor effect suggesting the possibility of being controlled in a precursor state. With such a configuration, it is possible to expect that the precursory state is controlled by executing the precursory effect, that is, the game shifts to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes a second AT lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT state when the transition to the AT state is not determined in the precursor state, and AT in the precursor state. When the transition to the state is decided, the first additional lottery for determining whether or not to add the number of games controlled to the AT state that shifts after the end of the precursor state and the CZ state, that is, the advantage of the AT state. It is a configuration to execute a lottery regarding the degree. With such a configuration, in the precursor state of transition to the CZ state within a predetermined number of games, the transition to the AT state is determined even if the transition to the AT state is not determined. Even in this case, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are won in the internal lottery, it is not wasteful to select the stop operation in the operation mode in which the specific small winning combination A and B are not won.

[Action effect 2]
In this embodiment, the game auxiliary display 12 including the indicators 12L and 12R having the first to eighth segments A to DP is provided, and the main control unit 41 is lit for each of the first to eighth segments A to DP. Alternatively, it is provided with an output buffer in which display data indicating the non-lighting state is set, and a lighting / extinguishing signal based on the display data is output from the output port to the indicators 12L and 12R, and the first 1st to each of the indicators 12L and 12R. By setting the eighth segments A to DP to the lit state or the non-lit state, it is possible to display the display value on each of the indicators 12L and 12R of the auxiliary indicator 12. Further, the main control unit 41 can display the payout number, the error code, and the setting code on the game auxiliary display 12, and the payout number is a display value that makes the 7-segment G of the display 12L non-lit. , The error code and the setting code are display values for lighting the 7-segment G of the display 12L. Then, the main control unit 41 determines whether the value corresponding to the seventh segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state. Is determined, and different control is performed according to the result. With such a configuration, whether the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state. , It is possible to specify whether the error code or the setting code is displayed and perform different control only by determining.

In this embodiment, the value of the first bit corresponding to the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L and the seventh segment G is 1, and the value of the bit corresponding to the other segments is 0. By performing an AND calculation with 02H (hexabyte number), it is determined whether the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data of the display 12L is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state. However, after shifting the value of the 1st bit corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L to the 0th bit, the value of the 0th bit is 0. By determining whether it is 1 or 1, it is determined whether the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data of the display 12L is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state. It may be configured.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is in a state where the payout number, the error code, or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and when the initialization condition is satisfied (after the power supply is stopped, the power is supplied). When the control state is restored before the power supply is stopped after the supply is restarted), the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L indicates the non-lighting state. It is determined whether it is 1 indicating the lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state, and when it is 0 indicating the non-lighting state, the game auxiliary display 12 is not set by initializing the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R. It is a configuration to be displayed. With such a configuration, the error code or the setting code is displayed when the initialization condition is satisfied while the payout number, the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to easily determine whether or not to hide the game auxiliary display 12 depending on whether or not it is in the state.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is set to one of the set values 1 to 6 having different advantages for the player when the power supply is started while the setting key switch 37 is ON. It is possible to shift to a setting change state that can be set by selecting. Further, the main control unit 41 detects the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped while the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. When the setting change state is controlled, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R when the setting change state ends. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. Determines whether the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state, and is not lit. When it is 0 indicating the state, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. With such a configuration, the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is detected when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped while the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. , When controlled to the setting change state, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden at the end of the setting change state, but it is set when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped. When returning to the control state before the power supply is stopped without detecting the ON state of the key switch 37, the value corresponding to the 7th segment G of the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L is set. By determining whether it is 0 indicating the non-lighting state or 1 indicating the lighting state, it is possible to specify whether or not the number of payouts may have been displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. When a state in which the number of payouts may have been displayed on the game assistance display 12 is specified, the game assistance display 12 is hidden, so that the payment is made to the game assistance display 12 when the store is closed. Even if the power supply is stopped while the number of sheets is displayed, whether or not the set value is set is specified by whether or not the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 when the store opens the next day. Can be prevented.
