Abstract

To provide a slot machine improved in connection with a configuration for performing suggestive control.SOLUTION: A ratio of execution of suggestive control in operation of a start switch 7 when winning a specific small winning combination in a normal state or a precursory state is smaller than a ratio of execution of suggestive control in operation of the start switch 7 when winning a navigation small winning combination in a CZ state or an AT state. Accordingly, execution of suggestive control in operation of the start switch 7 in execution of one navigation by winning a specific small winning combination in a normal state or a precursory state allows difficulty in a player's recognition of execution of the one navigation to be avoided as much as possible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12

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 an 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 consists 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 (setting 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 possesses the 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 store clerk who possesses the predetermined key can operate the reset switch 23. Further, the reset / setting switch 38 also functions as a reset switch for canceling the error state in the normal state.

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, on condition that the data of 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 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 the reset operation by the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38, and the game can be advanced. 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 on 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 a bet number 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, the 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 winning line LN has the combinations of the symbols constituting the winning, the invalid lines LM1 to 6 are aligned. It is recognized that the combination of the symbols constituting the prize is prepared in the winning line LN by setting the combination of the suggestion symbols (for example, bell a-bell a-bell a) suggesting the winning in any of 6 to be aligned. It makes it easier to do. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper stage of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, that is, the lower stage of the invalid lines LM1, reels 2L, 2C, 2R set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage. That is, the invalid line set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower row LM2, 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, 2R are rotated, stop control is performed for the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the rotation of the reel is performed. 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 of each stop switch is performed. 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 symbols up to 4 frames ahead, for a total of 5 frames (retraction range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2C, 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination won in the internal lottery described later is selected. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range from the symbol when the stop switch is operated to 4 frames ahead, the symbol is pulled onto the winning line LN to rotate the reel on which the stop switch is operated. On the other hand, if the symbols that make up the winning combination that has been won in the internal lottery are not within the drawing 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 winning small winning combination is controlled so that the constituent symbols of the winning small winning combination are preferentially drawn into the winning line LN within the above-mentioned attraction range, and the winning small winning combination is selected. 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-players are given priority and drawn into the winning line LN. The symbols constituting the re-gaming combination on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R are arranged within a predetermined pull-in range, and the constituent symbols of the re-gaming combination are always drawn into the winning line LN when the re-gaming combination is won. 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, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is ended, and the combination of the predetermined winning combination symbols is stopped on the winning line LN as a display result on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. When a prize is awarded, control is performed according to the prize. When a small winning combination is won, a number of medals determined according to the type are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the number of credits reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), the medals are directly paid out from the medal payout exit 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 are collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for the winning combination. The internal lottery is performed before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, a specified number of numbers) as to whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each of the above-mentioned winning combinations. When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected with the bet number set), it is determined by using a random number.

Of the winning flags for each combination, the winning flags for the small combination and the 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 the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , The re-gaming role (hereinafter, may be referred to as the navigation target role) can be won. The navigation target role may be, for example, a role 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 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 mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player (for example, the push order). , Operation timing, etc.) are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command capable of specifying the navigation number indicating an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Then, the navigation effect of notifying the operation mode by using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like is executed. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, it is possible to reliably win the navigation target combination won in the internal lottery.

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 it is configured to notify the navigation number, a configuration may be provided in which a dedicated display capable of displaying only the navigation number is provided and the navigation number is notified using the dedicated display in the control of the navigation notification.

[About the 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, and the set value is newly set by shifting to the factory default state of the slot machine 1 or the setting change state. This is a gaming state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is controlled in the initialized 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 in the game in which the BB is won in the internal lottery, the BB shifts to the normal game state (internal middle) without winning. 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 gaming state.

The normal gaming state (inside the inside) is a state in which the BB is carried over in the normal gaming state. In this embodiment, when the special role and the small role are won at the same time, the control is performed to prioritize the small role, and when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, the re-game combination is performed. By controlling to make sure that all of the above are aligned, the BB does not win a prize regardless of whether 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 the predetermined end condition is satisfied and the game shifts to the normal gaming 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, navigation small role, specific small role, 3 cards, BB, BB + 3 cards, and watermelon 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, navigation small role, specific small role, The winning probabilities of 3, BB, BB + 3, and watermelon are about 1 / 9.9, about 1/65, about 1/16384, about 1/137, about 1/101, about 1/524, and about 1, respectively. It is set to /655, about 1 / 1.37, about 1 / 16.2, about 1/166, about 1 / 16384, about 1/14.6, about 1/145, and is unsuccessful (missing). The probability 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, navigation small role, specific small Roles, 3 cards, and watermelons 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, navigation small role, specific small role, 3 The winning probabilities of the sheets and watermelons are about 1/9.9, about 1/65, about 1/8912, about 1/137, about 1/101, about 1/524, about 1/655, and about 1 /, respectively. It is set to 1.37, about 1 / 16.2, about 1/16, and about 1/145, and the probability of unwinning (loss) 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 gaming 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 unwinning (loss) 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, and a strong chance replay B are won, a replay is given.

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 the stop operation of each reel is performed in the stop operation order corresponding to each navigation small role. In that case, while the main and small winning combination with the payout of 15 medals wins, if the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the corresponding stop operation order, one medal is used according to the stop operation timing. The deputy small role with the payout will win a prize, or none of the roles will win a prize. That is, the expected value of the number of medals to be given changes due to the difference in the stop operation order, and the medal given by the navigation number indicating the stop operation order corresponding to the winning navigation small winning combination is notified by the navigation notification. The expected value of the number changes.

The operation mode corresponding to the navigation small combination, that is, the operation mode for winning the main small combination is not limited to the stop operation order, and the operation mode corresponding to the navigation small combination includes the stop operation timing and the stop operation of at least some reels. A combination of timing and stop operation order may be applied.

The specific small winning combination is a combination in which a plurality of small winning combination (in this embodiment, one of the specific small winning combination A to C) is won, and when the specific small winning combination is won, each specific small winning combination is supported. When the stop operation of each reel is performed in the stop operation order to win the specific small winning combination A, B, C, one of the specific small winning combination A, B, C with the payout of 15 medals wins. , When the stop operation of each reel is performed in the order of the stop operation for winning one piece corresponding to each specific small winning combination, one piece with the payout of one medal wins a prize.

The operation mode for winning the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C corresponding to the specific small winning combination and the operating mode for winning one card corresponding to the specific small winning combination are not limited to the stop operation order, and correspond to the specific small winning combination. As an operation mode for winning specific small winning combinations A, B, and C, and an operation mode for winning one piece corresponding to the specific small winning combination, at least some reels have a stop operation timing, a stop operation timing, and a stop operation order. The combination of may be applied.

When three medals are won, regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing, three medals with the payout of three medals will always win.

At the time of winning the BB, when 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") in all reels, the BB is set. If a prize is won and the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state, but 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 (inside).

BB + 3 cards are the winning combination 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 winning combination of all the main small winning combination and the specific small winning combination A to C constituting the navigation small winning combination, and when the compound small winning combination A is won, regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. A specific main and small role with the payout of 15 medals will always win.

The compound small role B is a combination in which all the sub-small roles that make up the navigation small role and one and three cards are won. When the compound small role B is won, the stop operation order and the stop operation timing are always selected. One medal with the payout of one medal wins.

The watermelon is a winning combination, and when the watermelon is won, the watermelon wins when the stop operation of each reel is performed at the stop operation timing for winning the watermelon.

In the lottery target (including unwinning) of the internal lottery, unwinning, 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, navigation small Winning numbers (general roles) and winning numbers (special roles) are assigned to the roles, specific small roles, 3 cards, BB, BB + 3, compound small role A, compound small role B, and watermelon, respectively. The winning number (general combination) and the winning number (special combination) corresponding to the lottery result of the lottery are set in the RAM 41c.

Specifically, the winning number (general role) is a general role, as 0 is assigned to both the unwinned and BB, which is a special role that does not include the general role. 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, Navi Small Role, Specific Small Role, 3 Sheets, Composite Small Role A, Composite Small 1 to 26 are assigned to the combination B and the watermelon in order, and 23, which is the same as the three, is assigned to the BB + 3 including the general role of 3.

In addition, the winning numbers (special roles) are unwinned, normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, and strong. Chance replay B, navigation small role, specific small role, 3 cards, compound small role A, compound small role B, and watermelon are all assigned 0, and 1 is assigned to the special role BB. BB + 3 sheets including BB, which is a special role, are assigned 1 as in BB.

The winning number (general combination) set in the winning number setting area of the RAM 41c is held only in the game in which the winning number (general combination) is set, and is cleared at the end of the game.

Further, the winning numbers (special winning combination) other than 0 set in the winning number setting area of the RAM 41c are maintained until the special winning combination corresponding to the winning number (special winning combination) wins, and the game in which the special winning combination wins ends. It is cleared with. That is, once the BB is won and a winning number (special combination) other than 0 is set in the winning number setting area, even if the combination of the winning winning numbers (special combination) cannot be arranged, the winning is won. The number (special role) is not cleared and is carried over to the next game. The winning number (special role) can also be cleared by shifting to the setting change state.

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 (general combination)) are set in the RAM 41c. The flag for shifting to the advantageous section 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 (normal game number shortening lottery, second and third AT lottery, first to third additional lottery, etc., which will be described later), AT. It is referred to when conducting a lottery related to the state.

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, multiple types of push order combinations, multiple lottery targets with close winning probabilities, and the like. A common value is assigned to a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when the lottery performed at the time of section transition is performed. Therefore, when the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to shift to the advantageous section, it is not necessary to individually specify whether or not the winning number (general combination) is the advantageous section transition combination. Whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination can be specified by whether or not the advantageous section transition flag is 0. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number (general combination) in the lottery performed at the time of transition to the advantageous section, the value of the flag for transition to the advantageous section is not specified from each winning number (general combination). Since it is designed to specify the probability according to the winning number (general role), it is not necessary to determine the probability for each winning number (general role), which is less advantageous than the number of types of winning numbers (general role). By defining the probability for each section transition flag, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target.

The lottery flag is assigned 0 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, multiple types of navigation small winning combination 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 (general combination), and the lottery flag is 0. Whether or not the lottery related to the AT state is performed can be specified depending on whether or not the lottery is performed. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number (general role) in the lottery related to the AT state, the winning number is not specified from the individual winning number (general role) but from the value of the lottery flag. It is designed to specify the probability according to (general role), there is no need to set the probability for each winning number (general role), and each lottery flag is smaller than the number of types of winning number (general role). By setting the probability in, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. Further, the lottery flags are different from the lottery targets that are not the target of the lottery related to the AT state and the 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 the 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.

[About the winning probability of the small role that constitutes the navigation small role, the specific small role, and the compound small role]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle), the winning probability of the left middle right bell A in which the upper bell A is won, and the left middle right bell in which the upper bell B is won. B winning probability, right-down bell A winning left and right middle bell A winning probability, right-down bell B winning left and right middle bell B winning probability, middle bell A winning middle left and right bell A winning probability, middle row The probability of winning the middle left and right bell B that the bell B wins, the probability of winning the middle right and left bell A that the right rising bell A wins, the probability of winning the middle right and left bell B that the right rising bell B wins, the right and left that the lower bell A wins Winning probability of middle bell A, winning probability of right middle left bell B won by lower bell B, winning probability of right middle left bell A won by Koyama bell A, winning probability of right middle left bell B won by Koyama bell B Are 4000/65536, and the probability of winning the left specific small role that the specific small role A wins, the probability of winning the medium specific small role that the specific small role B wins, and the medium specific small that the specific small role C wins. The winning probabilities of the winning combinations are 1345/65536.

In addition, in the special game state, all the main and small roles, that is, the upper bells A and B, the middle bells A and B, the lower bells A and B, the right-down bells A and B, the right-up bells A and B, and the Koyama bell A, The winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 in which B and the specific small winning combination A, B, and C are won is 4001/65536, and the winning probability of each of the main small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). It is set higher than (4000/65536).

In addition, the probability of winning the main and small roles (4001/65536) in the special gaming state is higher than the probability of winning one of the main and small roles in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) (48000/65536). Is set low. That is, the winning probability of each of the main and small roles in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) is set lower than the winning probability of the main small role 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 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 / internal middle) is high. Therefore, if the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state is set higher than that, the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state will be relatively high. In a configuration in which the winning probability of the main and small roles in the special game state is set higher than the winning probability of each of the main and small roles in the state (non-internal middle and 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 / 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 winning combinations A, B, and C are won in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are 1345/65536, respectively, and the main small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). It is set lower than each winning probability (4000/65536). Therefore, the winning probability of the left, middle, and right specific small roles that can win 15 medals with a probability of 2/3 does not increase excessively.

Further, 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, B, and C are won in the special gaming state is 4001/65536, which is the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal). It is higher than the winning probability (4000/65536) of each of the main and small roles in (middle), and higher than the winning probability (1345/65536) of each of the specific small roles A, B, and C in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). It is set high.

In addition, the probability that any of the main small role and the specific small role A, B, and C will be won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) (52035/65536) is more important than the probability that the main small role is won in the special game state. The winning probability (4001/65536) and the winning probability (4001/65536) of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C in the special gaming state are set lower. That is, the winning probabilities of the main small winning combination and the specific small winning combination A, B, and C in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are the winning probability of the main small winning combination and the specific small winning combination A, B, and C in the special gaming state. Although it is set lower than the probability, it is higher in the special game state than the probability that either the main small role or the specific small role A, B, C will be won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle). The probability that the winning combination and the specific small winning combination A, B, and C will be won is set low.

In addition, if there is only one type of specific small role, the probability of winning the specific small role in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) is high, and even more than that, the specific small role or main small role in the special gaming state. 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, B, and C in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) decreases, the specific small wins A, B, C and the main small win in the special game state are won by that amount. It is possible to reduce the probability.

[About the game section]
As shown in FIG. 9, 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 and navigation effect are 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 in 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 in the off state.

The advantageous section is a game section in which the navigation notification and the navigation effect may be performed, and the game section is advantageous for the player as compared with the normal section because the navigation notification and the navigation effect 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, so that the notification that the advantageous section is controlled is started, which is advantageous. After the start of the section, the medal payout rate (payout number / bet number) can exceed 100% by the first 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 can be performed by satisfying the predetermined notification condition (in this embodiment, the control is controlled in the advantageous section, and the navigation target combination and the specific small combination are won in the internal lottery). It is possible, and the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player, is notified by performing the navigation notification.

The main control unit 41 can control the navigation notification (control to display the navigation number on the game auxiliary display 12 and specify the navigation number) when the navigation target combination is won in the internal lottery while controlling to the advantageous section. It is possible to notify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player by performing control for transmitting various navigation commands, etc., and the advantageous section is the player as compared with the normal section. It will be an advantageous game section for.

The end condition 1 of the advantageous section is satisfied when the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of games in the advantageous section) reaches the first specified number (1500 games in this embodiment) defined as the upper limit number of games. , The end is established when the net increase in the number of medals after the increase / decrease in the number of medals changes from the decreasing tendency to the increasing tendency in the advantageous section exceeds the second specified number (2400 in this embodiment) set as the upper limit. Condition 2, 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 500G, 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 transferred to the advantageous section by winning the predetermined advantageous section transition combination, but the game section is When the normal section is controlled, the advantageous section transition lottery target combination 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 the 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 it is a normal section or an advantageous section, the flag in the advantageous section is initialized and controlled to the normal section.

In addition, the information about the game section includes information related to the AT state (information related to the advantageous section state described later, etc.), and the information about 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, and 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. 8, 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) for determining whether or not to allow the occurrence of a prize (internal lottery) is performed. 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 performed to determine whether or not to do so (that is, whether or not to allow the derivation of the display result). Then, the winning number (0 in the case of 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 using the lottery flag conversion table and stored in a predetermined area 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, which performs the process related to the game section and the process related to the navigation notification, is performed. 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 that can specify 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 variation 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 setting 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 to an external device such as a ring lamp, a hall computer, or a test device from a predetermined output port. 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 spinning 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, the 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, 2R, and the winning flag indicating the presence or absence of winning and the number of medals to be paid out in association with the winning are set to RAM41c. Set in the specified area of.

Next, after the winning search process, a gaming machine information calculation process (Sa12) for totaling the gaming history used when calculating the gaming machine information displayed on the gaming machine information display 50 is performed. The game machine information is the ratio of medals paid out after the game machine is shipped (total number of medals paid out in the game of the game 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 (between the past 6000 games) (total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period / total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period), continuous bonus payout after the game machine is shipped Ratio (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), continuous bonus payout ratio during a predetermined period (between the past 6000 games) ( Total number of medals to be paid out in the special game state in a predetermined period / total number of medals to be paid out in a predetermined period), instruction-included accessory payout ratio after the game machine is shipped (navigation notification after the game machine is shipped) Total number of medals paid out in the game / total number of medals paid out since the game machine was shipped), instruction-indicated accessory payout ratio in a predetermined period (between the past 6000 games) (navigation notification was performed in a predetermined period) Total number of medals paid out in the game / total number of medals paid out in a predetermined period), medal payout rate after the game machine is shipped (total number of medals paid out after the game machine is shipped / total number of medals paid out after the game machine is shipped) Including the total number of medals used since then), the 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), etc. The game history used for the calculation 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 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 is performed to shift to the normal section, and in the process related to the navigation notification, the normal state described later is changed to the CZ state in the advantageous section. 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, a normal game number shortening lottery, a second AT lottery, and a 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 the number of medals corresponding to the winnings generated as a result of the game is given (Sa17). In the payout process, a predetermined number of medals predetermined for each prize is given to the player according to the 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 (such as a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals given) is output from a predetermined output port to an external device such as a call lamp, a hall computer, or a test device. External signal processing (Sa18) is performed at the end of the game.

Next, the game end setting process 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, 2R, and if the symbol combination of the re-game combination is stopped, it is repeated 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. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, a predetermined area in which data related to control of the advantageous section is stored is initialized, and an advantageous section data initialization process is performed to 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, an 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.

In the normal state, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are not performed when the navigation small role is won, and the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed to notify the operation mode of winning one piece when the specific small role is won. This is a disadvantage for the player. The precursor state shifts after the end of the normal state, and the navigation notification and navigation effect are not performed when the navigation small role is won, and the navigation notification and navigation effect are performed to notify the operation mode of winning one piece when the specific small role is won. However, it is a state in which the player always shifts to the CZ state within 20 games, which is more advantageous for the player than the normal state. The CZ state shifts after the end of the precursory state, and navigation notification and navigation production are performed to notify the operation mode of winning the main small role when the navigation small role is won, and the specific small roles A to C are performed when the specific small role is won. It is a state in which the navigation notification and the navigation effect in which the operation mode for winning a prize is notified are performed, and at the same time, the AT state can be entered, which is more advantageous for the player than the normal state and the precursor state. In the AT state, navigation notification and navigation effect are performed to notify the operation mode of winning the main small role when the navigation small role is won for a long period of time, and the operation mode of winning the specific small roles A to C when the specific small role is won. Is a state in which the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed, which 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 a first AT lottery, a mode lottery, a normal game number lottery (normal G number lottery), and a zone 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 (the number of ceiling games in the normal state) is determined from the number of a plurality of games according to the mode determined in the mode lottery. In the zone lottery, one of a plurality of types (normal zone, special zone) having different advantages in the normal game number shortening lottery (normal G number shortening lottery) described later is determined.

There are three modes in the normal state, modes A to C. In mode A, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 100 games, and the average value of the determined normal games 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 determined normal games is 150 games. In mode C, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 300 games, and the average value of the determined normal games 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 four types of normal game number reduction lottery: normal game number reduction lottery (extra large), (large), (medium), and (small). The normal game number shortening lottery (extra large) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and the value to be subtracted from the normal game number is determined from 100 to 400, and the normal game number. The average value of the values subtracted from is about 250. 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 is about 75. In the normal game number shortening lottery (middle), when one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the normal state and one of the specific small wins A, B, and C is not won, that is, one is won. When the game is operated in the order of stop operation to win a prize (hereinafter, if a specific small win is missed and one piece is won, it is called a missed specific small wins A, B, C. The value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined from 10 to 50, and the average value of the values to be subtracted from the number of normal games is about 30 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 10 and subtracted from the normal game number. The average value of the values to be played is about 5 games.

The above-mentioned normal game number shortening lottery is one of four types, (extra large), (large), (medium), and (small), depending on the state (normal zone, specialized zone) determined by the zone lottery. Is executed. Specifically, in the normal zone, when the strong chance replays A, B or watermelon are won, the normal game number reduction lottery (large) is executed, and when the specific small winning combination A, B, C is missed. The normal game number reduction lottery (medium) is executed, and when the weak chance replays A and B are won, the normal game number reduction lottery (small) is executed. In the special zone, if the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won, the normal game number reduction lottery (extra large) is executed, and if the specific small role A, B, C is missed, the normal game number reduction The lottery (large) is executed, and when the weak chance replays A and B are won, the normal game number reduction lottery (medium) is executed.

As described above, in the normal state, there are a normal zone and a special zone, and the special zone has a larger update width (value subtracted from the normal game number) of the number of normal games than the normal zone. More specifically, when the strong chance replays A, B or watermelon are won, the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined between 50 and 100 in the normal zone, whereas in the special zone. Can update the number of normal games in excess of 100, such that the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined between 100 and 150. When the specific small winning combination A, B, C is missed, the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined between 10 and 50 in the normal zone, whereas in the special zone, the normal game The number of normal games may be updated beyond 50, such that the value to be subtracted from the number is determined between 50 and 100. When the weak chance replays A and B are won, the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined between 1 and 10 in the normal zone, while the value to be subtracted from the number of normal games is determined in the special zone. The number of normal games may be updated beyond 10 such that the value is determined between 10 and 50. The zone in the normal state is not limited to the two types of the normal zone and the special zone, for example, a special zone in which the update width of the number of normal games (value subtracted from the number of normal games) is larger than that of the special zone. More than one type of zone may be provided.

Further, the maximum value of the number of normal games that can be updated by the result of the lottery for shortening the number of normal games is larger than the maximum value of the number of normal games determined by the lottery for the number of normal games. Specifically, the maximum value of the number of normal games determined by the lottery for the number of normal games is 300 games in the case of mode C, whereas the maximum value that can be updated by the lottery for shortening the number of normal games is the number of normal games. It is 400 games in the case of a shortened lottery (extra large), and its value is large. Therefore, especially in the case of a specialized zone, the player can be expected to reach the ceiling of the normal number of games at once. Not only the normal game number shortening lottery (extra large) but also the normal game number shortening lottery (large) and the normal game number shortening lottery (medium), the maximum value that can be updated by the normal game number shortening lottery is the normal game. It may be larger than the maximum value of the number of normal games determined by the number lottery. That is, not only in the special zone but also in the normal zone, the ceiling of the number of normal games may be reached at once by one lottery for shortening the number of normal games.

The background image (background effect) during the game changes depending on which of modes A to C is determined by the mode lottery. As a result, the player can predict which mode is determined based on the background image (background effect) in the normal state, and the player can also predict the determined number of normal games. Then, the player can pay attention to the background image (background effect) in the normal state.

The background image (background effect) during the game may change depending on whether the zone lottery determines the normal zone or the special zone. In this case, the player can recognize which zone is controlled by the normal zone or the special zone by using the background image (background effect) as a clue, for example, that the player is controlled by the special zone. If recognized, the player can expect to transition to a precursory state.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the number of normal games after subtraction has reached 0, and if 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 second AT lottery (high), (medium), and (low). The second AT lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is 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 one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the precursory state and one of the specific small wins A, B, and C is not won, that is, the specific small win A is won. , B, C are executed when, B, C are missed, and the transition to the AT state is won with a probability of about 1/5. The second AT lottery (low) 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 first additional lottery (high), (medium), and (low). The first additional lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery in the precursor state, and the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become like. In the first additional lottery (middle), when one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the precursory state and one of the specific small wins A, B, and C is not won, that is, the specific small win is won. It is executed when A, B, and C 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, and 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, and the 3rd AT lottery ( There are three types: (confirmed), (high), and (medium). The third AT lottery (confirmation) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or the watermelon is 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 3rd AT lottery (middle) is executed when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, regardless of whether the specific small wins A, B, C win or one piece wins. Instead, there is a 1/5 chance that the transition to the AT state will be won.

In the second additional lottery in the CZ state, 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 (middle). The second additional lottery (confirmation) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, so that the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a 100% probability. It has become. 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 any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state, and whether the specific small wins A, B, C win or one piece wins. Regardless, 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 elapsed 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 the advantageous section is continued, and the state is shifted to the normal state. 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 terminated, the advantageous section is terminated, and the normal section is entered. Then, after the advantageous section transition combination is won 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 an 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 precursory 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). be. The third additional lottery (high) is executed when the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and the number of games controlled to the AT state is added with a probability of about 1/2. It has become like. 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 any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the AT state, and whether the specific small wins A, B, C win or one piece wins. Regardless, 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.

In the slot machine 1 in which the game progresses as described above, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the operation mode for winning the specific small wins A, B, and C is notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect. Or, the operation mode for winning one piece is notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the precursor state, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operations in which the specific small wins A, B, and C are won. As a result, if you win the specific small roles A, B, and C, you will be able to receive 15 medals.

On the other hand, in the normal state, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the specific small wins A, B, and C are won by performing the stop operation in the order of the stop operation for winning one piece. If you win one medal without letting it win, the number of medals paid out will decrease, but in the normal state, the number of games won in the normal game number shortening lottery (middle) will be subtracted from the normal game number, and it will shift to the CZ state or AT state. It is possible to reduce the number of games required.

That is, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the specific small wins A, B, and C are won by performing the stop operation in the order of the stop operations for winning the specific small wins A, B, and C. By doing so, it becomes possible to receive the payout of 15 medals, and while the payout rate of medals (the number of medals paid out / the number of medals used) in the normal state can be increased, the stop operation of winning one medal is possible. By performing stop operations in order to drop the prizes of specific small wins A, B, and C and letting one prize, the medal payout rate in the normal state becomes low, but until the number of normal games becomes 0. The number of games, that is, the number of games until the transition to the CZ state can be reduced.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the specific small wins A, B, and C are won each time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the normal zone, the number of normal games is reduced by the normal game number reduction lottery. Is shortened by about 0.3 games per game on average, and if one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery and one of the specific small wins is missed and one is won, the normal game is shortened by the normal game number lottery. The number is reduced by an average of about 2.5 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, B, C every time any of the specific small winning combination is won in the internal lottery. In the case of making it, the number of games required is about 0.7 times the number of normal games won by the normal game number lottery, and if one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, one piece is usually won. The number of games is required to be about 0.3 times the number of normal games won by lottery. For example, if 150 is won by the normal game number lottery and the normal zone is won by the zone lottery, each time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the specific small wins A, B, and C are won. , The average number of games required until the number of normal games (150) becomes 0 is 111 games. On the other hand, if one prize is awarded each time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the average number of games required until the number of normal games (150) becomes 0 is 43 games. In this way, one piece each time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, rather than the case where the specific small wins A, B, and C are won each time one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery. It is advantageous in that the normal state can be ended and the state can be changed to the CZ state or the AT state with a smaller number of games, and the digestion efficiency of the game is improved.

On the other hand, if the specific small wins A, B, and C are won each time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the medals required for the normal number of games (150) to become 0 are each small. In addition to the medals paid out by winning the role and the granting of replay games, about 62 medals are required. On the other hand, if one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the medals required for the normal number of games (150) to become 0 will be the prize for each small win. In addition to the medals paid out by and the granting of replay games, about 61 medals are required. In this way, every time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the specific small wins A, B, and C are won, and every time any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery. In the case where one prize is won, the number of medals paid out by winning each small role and the number of medals required in addition to the replay game are substantially the same until the number of normal games is reduced to 0. It is advantageous for the player to select an operation mode in which one of the specific small wins is won in the normal state as in the normal state because the digestion efficiency of the game is improved, but in the normal state. Even if the player selects the operation mode for winning the specific small wins A, B, C when any of the specific small wins is won, or even if the operation mode for winning one piece is selected, the long-term There is almost no difference in the medal payout rate.

In addition, in the precursory state, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, the specific small wins A, B, and C are not won by performing the stop operation in the order of the stop operation in which one piece is won. If one prize is won, the number of medals 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 (middle) will be held, so the AT state. It is possible to increase the number of trials for shifting to the above and the number of trials for adding the number of games controlled to the AT state.

In this embodiment, in the normal section, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, it is advantageous regardless of whether the specific small wins A, B, C are won or one piece is won. Since the section shifts to the section, in the normal section, if any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, it is advantageous to win the specific small wins A, B, and C.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the CZ state and the AT state, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, even if the specific small wins A, B, and C are won, one piece is won. Even in this case, the common 3rd AT lottery (middle) or the common 2nd additional lottery (middle) is executed in the CZ state, and the common 3rd additional lottery (low) is executed in the AT state. In the state, when any of the specific small wins is won, it is more advantageous to win the specific small wins A, B, and C.

Further, in this embodiment, in the normal state, the case where one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery and one piece is won is better than the case where the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery. However, since the average value of the winning values in the normal game number shortening lottery is large, the advantage is high. In addition, in the precursory state, when one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery and one piece is won, the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery in the second AT lottery. The probability that the AT state will be won is high, 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, the probability that the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery is higher than the probability that the AT state is won in the third AT lottery than when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery. Is high, 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. Further, in the AT state, when the weak chance replays A and B are won in the internal lottery, the AT state is controlled in the third additional lottery than when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery. Since the number of games is easy to be added, the advantage is high.

As described above, in the normal state, when any of the specific small wins is won, the player selects the operation mode for winning the specific small wins A, B, C, or the operation mode for winning one medal. However, no matter which operation mode is selected, there is almost no difference in the long-term medal payout rate. In the present embodiment, in the normal state, a navigation effect is executed in which an operation mode for notifying one prize when a specific small winning combination is won is executed, but when such a navigation effect is executed, the navigation effect is executed. , The player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the navigation effect to win one prize, or operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R without following the navigation effect to pay out 15 cards. You will be able to select whether to win a specific small role.

Further, in this embodiment, in the normal state, when the strong chance replay A, B or the watermelon is won in the internal lottery, one of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery and one piece is won. In this case, since 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, it is easy to end the normal state with a small number of games, and the advantage is high. In addition, in the precursory state, if the strong chance replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery, if any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery and one piece is won, the weak chance replay A , B has a higher probability of winning the AT state in the second AT lottery than when B is won, 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. Further, in the CZ state, when the strong chance replays A and B or the watermelon are won in the internal lottery, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, when the weak chance replays A and B are won. However, there is a high probability that the AT state will be won in the third AT lottery, 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 replay A, B or watermelon is won in the internal lottery, or if any of the left, middle, or right specific small roles is won in the internal lottery, the weak chance replay A, B is won. 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 when the player wins.

Further, in this embodiment, when any of the specific small wins is won and one piece is won in the precursory state of transition to the CZ state within at least 20 games, the weak chance replays A and B and the strong chance replay are performed. When A, B, and watermelon are won, if neither the 1st nor the 2nd AT lottery is won, the 2nd AT lottery is performed, while the 1st or 2nd AT lottery is won. In that case, the first additional lottery is performed, and in the situation where the transition to the AT state has already been decided in the precursory state, the second AT lottery if the transition to the AT state has not been decided. Even if the lottery condition that triggers the above is satisfied, the establishment of the lottery condition is not wasted. In particular, the specific small roles A, B, and C were won, the specific small roles A, B, and C were not won, and even though the 15 medals could not be paid out, the specific small roles A, B, and C were not received. The choices that did not win the prize will not be wasted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the normal state and the precursor state, the stop operation in the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the specific small winning combination is won is recommended, and in the normal state and the precursor state, the stop operation is recommended. When the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one card are performed, and the stop operation in the stop operation order for winning one card is urged. On the other hand, in the CZ state and the AT state, it is recommended to stop the operation in the order of the stop operation in which one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won when the specific small winning combination is won, and the CZ state and the AT state are recommended. If the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed to notify the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed. Prompt for stop operations in the order of stop operations. In the normal section, even if the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are not performed, and the stop operation in any stop operation order is urged.

In this way, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state, the navigation notification and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, and C are performed. By performing the stop operation in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C can win a prize and obtain 15 medals, while the normal state and the normal state and When a specific small winning combination is won in the precursory state, navigation notification and navigation effect are performed to notify the stop operation order for winning one medal, and the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect. By performing the stop operation with, one medal with one grant will be won, and the number of medals that can be obtained will be smaller than when any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C is won, but the number of G is usually shortened. By performing a lottery, a second AT lottery, or a first additional lottery, it is controlled in an advantageous manner for the player, and is specified by whether it is a CZ state and an AT state, a normal state, and a precursor state. It is possible to change the stopping mode to be stopped when the small winning combination is won.

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination is won, the specific small winning combination A, B, C or one is won according to the order of the stop operation, and the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state, and one is won. It is a configuration in which advantageous control is performed for the player by winning a prize, that is, by winning a small winning combination with a smaller number of medals than when the specific small winning combination A, B, C wins, but the specific small winning combination At the time of winning, one specific small winning combination A, B, C will be won or lost depending on the operation mode, and one specific small winning combination will be won or lost in the normal state and the precursory state. In the configuration where advantageous control is performed for the player, or when the specific small winning combination is won, the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins or loses depending on the operation mode, and the specific small combination is lost in the normal state and the precursor state. It may be configured that the player is controlled in an advantageous manner by winning the winning combination and losing the winning combination. Even with these configurations, the CZ state and the AT state, or the normal state and the precursor state may be used. Depending on whether or not there is, the stopping mode to be stopped when a specific small winning combination is won can be changed.

Further, when the navigation small combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are not executed, and when the navigation small combination is won in the CZ or AT, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are executed. As a result, in the CZ or AT, it is possible to make it easier to win the main small role when the navigation small role is won than in the normal state or the precursor state, so that the advantage of the player in the CZ or AT is increased. Can be done.

In the following, the navigation notification and navigation effect that informs the operation mode (stop operation order) for winning the specific small role (15 cards paid out) when the specific small role is won, and the main small role (main small role) when the specific small role is won. Navigation notifications and navigation effects that notify the operation mode (stop operation order) for winning a prize (15-sheet payout) are also collectively referred to as 15-sheet navigation. In addition. Also called one-sheet navigation.

[About the 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 role is won, only when one piece is won without winning the specific small role A, B, C, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed, and the specific small role is won. When A, B, and C are won, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not performed. Therefore, when the specific small winning combination is won, the specific small winning combination A, B, C wins. It is necessary to specify whether one has won a prize. On the other hand, in the lottery flag 2 set according to the result of the internal lottery (winning number), if any of the specific small wins is won, whether the specific small wins A, B, or C win or one is selected. Since it is not possible to specify whether or not a prize has been won, the lottery flag 2 is required after all reels are stopped so that it can be specified whether the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C have won or one has won. Needs to be rewritten. Therefore, the main control unit 41 sets "3" as the value of the lottery flag 2 when any of the specific small winning combinations is won, and when one piece wins after all reels are stopped, the lottery is done. While maintaining the value "3" of the flag 2 for, when the specific small winning combination A, B, C wins, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" to shorten the number of normal games. , The second AT lottery and the first additional lottery are excluded from the lottery flag rewriting process.

FIG. 10A 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. 10A, the main control unit 41 first determines whether or not any of the specific small winning combinations has been won in the lottery flag rewriting process (Sb1).

When it is determined in Sb1 that any of the specific small wins has been 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 any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0". , Ends the lottery flag rewriting process and returns to the original process.

If it is determined in Sb1 that the specific small winning combination has 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, B, and C is not won and one is won, the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is set. The lottery flag rewriting process is terminated and the original process is restored without rewriting.

In this way, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2, and any of the specific small wins A, B, and C wins. Since the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process, the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are not performed. On the other hand, when the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C are not won and one is won, 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 maintained. The shortened lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed.

Further, when any of the specific small wins is won in the internal lottery, "3" is set as the value of the lottery flag 2, and when any of the specific small wins A, B, or C is won. , The value "3" of the lottery flag 2 is rewritten to "0" by the lottery flag rewriting process performed after all reels are stopped, so that the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are excluded. 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, it is specified small. It is specified that one of the winning roles has been won, and the 3rd AT lottery, the 2nd additional lottery, and the 3rd additional lottery are held regardless of whether the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins or one piece wins. Can be done. That is, when any of the specific small wins is won, the common lottery flag 2 is used to win the target lottery regardless of whether the specific small wins A, B, and C win or one piece wins. It is possible to specify both whether or not to perform the target lottery only when the specific small winning combination A, B, and C do not win and one piece wins.

Further, in the lottery flag rewriting process, it is determined whether or not any of the specific small wins has been won, and if any of the specific small wins has been won, the number of payouts is the specific small wins A, B, C. By maintaining the value "3" of the lottery flag 2 when it is determined whether or not the number of winnings is 15 and the number of payouts is not 15, the normal game number shortening lottery, the first Since the 2AT lottery and the first additional lottery are performed, it is possible to specify whether the specific small winning combination A, B, or C has won the prize without specifying the symbol combination stopped on the reel when the specific small winning combination is won. It is possible to specify whether the small winning combinations A, B, and C did not win and one piece won. In particular, when a plurality of types of specific small winning combinations with a payout number of 15 are provided as in this embodiment, the specific small winning combination A, without determining whether or not each type of specific small winning combination has won a prize, It is possible to determine whether or not B and C have won a prize.

[About a modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process]
FIG. 10B is a flowchart showing a control content of a modification 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 any of the specific small wins is won and the specific small wins A, B, and C do not win, one piece is always won and the specific small win is won. It is assumed that no one will win unless one of them wins. 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 or watermelon are won, and the specific small winning combination is won. When "0" is sometimes set and the value of the lottery flag N 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 N is "1". In the case of any of "3", the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery shall be performed with the probability corresponding to the value of the lottery flag N.

As shown in FIG. 10B, 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).

When it is determined in Sc1 that the combination of one symbol has stopped, that is, when one of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C does not win and one of them wins, the value "0" of the lottery flag N is set to "3". , Ends the lottery flag rewriting process and returns to the original process.

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 N.

In this way, in the modified example of the lottery flag rewriting process, if any of the specific small wins is won and the specific small wins A, B, and C do not win, one piece is always won and the specific small win is won. In a configuration in which one of the cards is not won except when one of them is won, it is determined whether or not one symbol combination has stopped, and when it is determined that one symbol combination has stopped, the lottery flag N By rewriting the value "0" to "3", the normal number of games shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery are performed. Regardless, it is only determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped on the reel is one symbol combination, and when the specific small winning combination is won, the specific small winning combination A, B, C does not win and one piece wins. It can be specified. In addition, if any of the specific small wins is won and the specific small wins A, B, and C do not win, the unique symbol combination will stop, so the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first addition It is possible to recognize that a lottery can be held.

[Control when winning a navigation target]
Next, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination will be described.

If the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification when the navigation target combination is won, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command corresponding to the winning navigation target combination to the sub control unit 91, and then operates the operation mode corresponding to the navigation target combination. While sending a navigation command that does not specify, if the navigation target role is to be notified when the navigation target role is won, the navigation notification corresponding to the winning navigation target role is performed on the game auxiliary display 12 to the winning navigation target role. After transmitting the corresponding internal winning command to the sub control unit 91, a navigation command that can specify the operation mode corresponding to the navigation small combination is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. Further, the main control unit 41 transmits a stop command capable of specifying the reel to stop and the stop position to the sub control unit 91 every time the stop operation is performed regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is performed. Further, the main control unit 41 transmits a winning determination command capable of specifying the presence / absence of a winning and the type of winning to the sub control unit 91 after all the reels have stopped regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is performed. do. Further, the main control unit 41 is in the state of the next game at the end of the game (whether the advantageous section state of the next game is a normal state, a precursor state, a CZ state, or an AT state). Is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

The sub-control unit 91 can specify the state of the next game by receiving the state command, and can execute the navigation effect by receiving the navigation command.

The navigation effect is an effect of notifying the operation mode corresponding to the navigation notification by displaying a navigation image showing the operation mode corresponding to the navigation notification on the liquid crystal display 51. For example, in the case of a navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order of left, middle, and right, when the start switch 7 is operated, the navigation image corresponding to the first stop reel in which the number image of "1" is superimposed on the plain background image. And the navigation image corresponding to the second stop reel in which the number image of "2" is superimposed on the plain background image, and the navigation image corresponding to the third stop reel in which the number image of "3" is superimposed on the plain background image. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. A plurality of types of navigation images are provided. Specifically, the mode of the navigation image may differ depending on the result of a lottery related to the AT state such as an AT lottery or an additional lottery. For example, regarding the navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order for winning the main small role when the navigation small role is won, if the transition to the AT state is not won in the AT lottery, the plain background as described above. While the navigation image with the number image superimposed on the image is displayed, when the transition to the AT state is won in the AT lottery, the navigation image with the number image superimposed on the red background image is displayed. To.

In this way, the sub-control unit 91 displays one of a plurality of types of navigation images for the same stop mode. As a result, the result of the lottery related to the AT state can be suggested depending on the type of the navigation image displayed at the time of the navigation effect, so that the player's attention can be attracted to the navigation image.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the state of the next game by receiving the state command, and can execute the operation time effect by receiving the stop command. The operation-time effect is an effect of notifying whether or not a stop operation has been performed according to the stop operation order shown in the navigation effect.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the state of the next game by receiving the state command, and can execute the winning effect by receiving the winning determination command. The winning effect is an effect of notifying that a prize has occurred.

[Navigation background control]
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the navigation background control. The navigation background control is performed by the sub control unit 91, and is a background control for displaying a background image on the liquid crystal display 51 in a game in which the navigation effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the navigation background control includes a first background control and a second background control.

In the first background control, the display of the background image dedicated to navigation (also referred to as the navigation background image) is started according to the operation of the player, and the display mode of the navigation background image is switched according to the operation of the player. include. For example, as shown in FIG. 21 described later, in a game in which the first background control is performed, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the background image before the start of the game is displayed in FIG. 21 (a). When the start switch 7 is operated by the player, the navigation background image is displayed in place of the background image in the previous game, and then the stop switch is displayed by the player as shown in FIGS. 21 (c) to 21 (e). The navigation background image is switched each time the 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated step by step.

In this way, in the game in which the first background control is performed, the navigation background image is switched each time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player, so that the game is reliably stopped according to the notified procedure. It is possible to make the player recognize that the switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been operated. Further, in the game in which the first background control is performed, the background image is displayed when the start switch 7 is operated by the player, so that the player is informed that the start switch 7 has been operated in an easy-to-understand manner. be able to.

Further, in the first background control, a still image of the character without movement is displayed after the image of the character with movement is displayed in the navigation background image for a predetermined period. That is, in the game in which the first background control is performed, the image of the character with movement is displayed once when one stop switch is operated, but if no operation is performed thereafter, the character's image is displayed after a predetermined period. The movement is stopped and displayed as a still image, and when another stop switch is operated, the image of the character with movement is displayed again, and so on. In this way, since the next operation is performed triggered by the operation of the stop switch by the player, it is possible to show at least the effect screen in the navigation effect.

The second background control is a control for displaying an image accompanied by movement rather than the first background control, and in the game in which the navigation notification and the navigation effect are executed, the background image displayed in the game before the game is used as it is. Includes control to take over and display the background image. That is, in the game in which the second background control is performed, the display of the background image in the previous game is inherited without displaying the navigation background image dedicated to the navigation. For example, as shown in FIG. 19 described later, in a game in which the second background control is performed, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the background image before the start of the game is displayed in FIG. 19 (a). Even if the start switch 7 is operated by the player, the background image of the previous game is taken over and displayed as it is, and then, as shown in FIGS. 19 (c) to 19 (e), the stop switches 8L and 8C are displayed by the player. Even if the 8R is operated step by step, the background image is not switched for each operation, and the background image as if the character is moving continues to be displayed.

In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 determines which of the first background control and the second background control is to be performed by lottery when the navigation effect is executed. Specifically, the sub control unit 91 identifies the state of the next game based on the state command received from the main control unit 41, identifies the winning combination based on the internal winning command, and the navigation received from the main control unit 41. Specify the operation mode to be notified based on the command. Then, the sub-control unit 91 determines by lottery whether to perform the first background control or the second background control based on the current state of executing the navigation effect and the winning situation by the internal lottery.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub control unit 91 does not execute the navigation effect, and therefore does not particularly perform the navigation background control. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 executes 15-sheet navigation when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, and at this time, as the navigation background control, the first background is at a higher rate than the second background control. Take control.

The sub-control unit 91 executes one-sheet navigation when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, and at this time, as the navigation background control, the second background control is performed at a higher rate than the first background control. conduct. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 executes 15-sheet navigation when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, and at this time, as the navigation background control, the first background is at a higher rate than the second background control. Take control.

In this way, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control and the first background control at different selection ratios when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state and when the specific small winning combination is won in the precursor state or the AT state. Perform one of the second background controls. That is, the sub-control unit 91 performs either the first background control or the second background control at different selection ratios when the navigation small combination is won and when the specific small combination is won. Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs one of the first background control and the second background control at different selection ratios in the normal state or the precursor state and in the CZ state or the AT state.

As a result, the notification of the operation mode can be appropriately appealed to the player by the background control performed according to the importance of the navigation effect. For example, when 15-sheet navigation is executed when a navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state, the navigation background image is switched every time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player. Since the 1 background control is performed with a higher probability than the 2nd background control, it is possible to make the player recognize that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R have been surely operated according to the notified procedure.

The sub-control unit 91 may perform the first background control with a 100% probability when the navigation small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. Further, the sub-control unit 91 may perform the second background control with a 100% probability when the specific small winning combination is won and the one-sheet navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursor state. Further, the sub-control unit 91 may perform the first background control with a 100% probability when the specific small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. That is, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control with a 100% probability when executing the 15-sheet navigation, and performs the second background control with a 100% probability when executing the 1-sheet navigation. May be.

In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 may execute the navigation effect even when a winning combination whose winning combination does not change depending on the stop operation order is won. For example, when any of the weak chance replay, the strong chance replay, and the watermelon is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub control unit 91 executes a special navigation different from any of the 15-sheet navigation and the 1-sheet navigation. As shown in FIG. 28 (b) described later, the special navigation is a weak chance to trigger an AT lottery or an additional lottery by displaying three images in which "!" Is superimposed on a plain background image as a navigation image. It is a navigation effect that suggests that one of the replay, the strong chance replay, and the watermelon has been won.

The sub-control unit 91 controls the first background at a higher rate than the second background control when any of the weak chance replay, the strong chance replay, and the watermelon is won and the special navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. I do. The sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control with a 100% probability when any of the weak chance replay, the strong chance replay, and the watermelon is won and the special navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. You may.

In this way, even if a role that is not a navigation target role such as a weak chance replay, a strong chance replay, and a watermelon is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the first background control that is easy to be executed when navigating 15 sheets is performed. It is possible to increase the unexpectedness and improve the interest of the game.

In the present embodiment, in the game in which the specific background image is displayed, the slot machine is used when the navigation small role is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed, and when the specific small role is won and the 1-sheet navigation or 15 is executed. In both cases when the sheet navigation is executed, the second background control is performed with a 100% probability as the navigation background control.

The specific background image may include an image that notifies the start or end of a specific state. For example, as shown in FIG. 29, which will be described later, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect in the game in which the AT start image indicating the start of the AT is displayed, the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control with a probability of 100%. .. As shown in FIG. 30, which will be described later, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect in the game in which the AT end image indicating the end of the AT is displayed, the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control with a probability of 100%. In FIG. 30, as the AT end image, a result image for notifying the result of the game in the AT is exemplified.

Further, the specific background image may include an image for notifying the specific grant. For example, as shown in FIG. 31, which will be described later, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect in the game in which the AT addition image showing the addition of the game in the AT is displayed, the second background control has a 100% probability. I do. In addition, in FIG. 31, the case where the image showing the addition of the AT is displayed as the specific background image is exemplified, but when the image showing the addition of the game in the CZ is displayed, or it consists of a plurality of sets. Even when an image indicating that one set is continued to the next set is displayed when the AT or CZ is executed, the second background control may be performed with a 100% probability.

In this way, when an image that notifies the start or end of a specific state or an image that notifies the specific grant is displayed, the second background control that does not switch the background image is performed, so the background image for navigation is used. It is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the start or end of the specific state or the specific grant without impairing the visibility of the image that notifies the start or end of the specific state or the image that notifies the specific grant.

Although the relationship between the winning combination and the background control has been described above, the specific combination may execute the one-sheet navigation in the CZ state or the AT state. For example, as in the normal state in the present embodiment, even in the CZ state, the game may be controlled to the AT state by digesting the number of games, or the AT lottery may be performed. Then, in the CZ state, one piece of navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won, and by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the one piece of navigation, one piece is won and the number of CZ games is increased. A shortened lottery may be held or an AT lottery may be held.

On the premise of this, the sub-control unit 91 has a different selection ratio between when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state and when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state, and the first background Either control or second background control may be performed. Further, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control at a higher rate than the second background control, and wins the specific small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state. In some cases, the second background control may be performed at a higher rate than the first background control. Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the first background control with a 100% probability when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, and 100% when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. The second background control may be performed with the probability of.

[About suggestion control]
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining suggestive control. The suggestion control is performed by the sub control unit 91, and is a control for displaying a suggestion image suggesting that the player is advantageous on the liquid crystal display 51. Suggested control can be performed in any of the normal state, precursor state, CZ state, and AT state. In the present embodiment, the suggestion control includes a first suggestion control and a second suggestion control.

The first suggestion control includes a control of superimposing a suggestion image on a background image and displaying it. For example, as illustrated as the first suggestion controls A to C in FIG. 13, which will be described later, in the game in which the first suggestion control is performed, the background image before the start of the game is taken over and displayed as it is, and the front surface of the background image is taken over. The suggestion image is displayed at a predetermined timing so as to overlap the side (player side). The suggestion image displayed in the first suggestion control is displayed superimposed on the background image, for example, a character image of "chance" or an image of an object (character, tool, etc.) that is not displayed when the suggestion control is not performed. Any image may be used as long as it suggests that the player is advantageous.

The second suggestion control includes a control of displaying a suggestion image instead of the background image. For example, as illustrated as the second suggestion controls A to C in FIG. 13, which will be described later, in the game in which the second suggestion control is performed, the background image is displayed by being inherited from the background image before the start of the game, and the predetermined timing. Instead of the background image, the suggestion background image is displayed as the suggestion image. The suggestion background image (suggestion image) displayed in the second suggestion control is a normal background image such as a background image of a color that is not displayed when the suggestion control is not performed or a background image in which an object (character, tool, etc.) appears. Any image may be used as long as it is displayed in place of the background image and suggests that the player has an advantage. In the second suggestion control, since the background image itself is switched to the suggestion background image, the second suggestion control is a suggestion control in which the player pays more attention than the first suggestion control.

Further, the advantage of the player suggested by the suggestion image includes the advantage of the result of the lottery related to the AT state such as the AT lottery and the additional lottery. For example, when the AT lottery or the additional lottery is performed in the precursor state, the CZ state, or the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 suggests the result (winning or non-winning) of the AT lottery or the additional lottery in the subsequent game. Suggested by control. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 performs suggestion control with a higher probability when the result of the lottery is winning than when it is not winning. As a result, the suggestion control is performed, and the player can expect to win the AT lottery or the additional lottery. As described above, the AT lottery and the additional lottery are performed when a weak chance replay, a strong chance replay, a watermelon, etc. are won, but the suggestion control suggesting the lottery result is performed by the navigation effect in the subsequent game. It may overlap with the executed game. That is, the suggestion control may overlap with the background control performed at the time of navigation effect.

In the present embodiment, when the suggestion control is performed, the slot machine 1 determines which of the first suggestion control and the second suggestion control is to be performed by lottery. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 is based on whether or not to execute the navigation effect, and in the case of executing the navigation effect, which of the first background control and the second background control is executed. Whether or not to perform the suggestion control, and whether to perform the first suggestion control or the second suggestive control is determined by lottery.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the sub-control unit 91 performs suggestion control in response to background control. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control or the second suggestion control when performing the suggestion control in the game in which the navigation effect is not executed. When the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control in the game that executes the navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control corresponding to the first background control. When the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control in the game that executes the navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 performs the second suggestion control corresponding to the second background control.

Since the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control with a higher probability than the first background control when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, it is higher than the first suggestion control when performing the suggestion control. The second suggestion control will be performed with probability. Since the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control with a higher probability than the second background control when the navigation small combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, it is higher than the second suggestion control when performing the suggestion control. The first suggestion control will be performed with probability.

As a result, suggestion control can be appropriately performed according to the importance of the navigation effect to be executed. For example, when 15 navigations are executed when the navigation small combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the suggestion image is part of the background image instead of the second suggestion control in which the background image itself is switched to the suggestion background image. By performing the first suggestion control in which the images are displayed in an overlapping manner, the player is not prevented from winning the main and small roles for paying out 15 cards as much as possible. That is, the background image that is switched according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the background control is not replaced by the suggestion background image by the second suggestion control, but is replaced by the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Since the first suggestion control is performed so that the suggestion image overlaps a part of the background image that is switched according to the situation, the player is not prevented from winning the main and small roles for paying out 15 cards as much as possible.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs suggestion control with the highest probability when the navigation effect is not executed, suggestion control is performed when the first background control is performed with the next highest probability, and the second background control is performed. Suggestion control is performed with the lowest probability. In this way, the sub-control unit 91 wins the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state when the second background control having a high selection ratio when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state is performed. The suggestion control is performed at a higher ratio than when the first background control is performed, which has a high selection ratio at the time of performing.

As a result, when the 15-card navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the one-sheet navigation is executed when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. Since the execution rate of the suggestion control is low, the suggestion control does not hinder the player from winning the main and small winning combinations for paying out 15 cards. Also, if one navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state, it is more suggestive than when 15-sheet navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Since the control execution rate is high, the player's expectation can be increased even in a situation where the number of medals paid out is small as in the case of one-card navigation.

Further, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state, the ratio of the first suggestion control for superimposing the suggestion image on the background image is the ratio when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state. It is lower than the rate at which the first suggestion control is performed. This makes it difficult for the suggestion control to be performed when the one-sheet navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursory state, so that it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the one-sheet navigation is executed by the suggestion control. Can be avoided as much as possible.

Although the relationship between the winning combination and the suggestion control has been described above, the specific combination may execute the one-sheet navigation in the CZ state or the AT state. For example, as in the normal state in the present embodiment, even in the CZ state, the game may be controlled to the AT state by digesting the number of games, or the AT lottery may be performed. Then, in the CZ state, one piece of navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won, and by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the one piece of navigation, one piece is won and the number of CZ games is increased. A shortened lottery may be held or an AT lottery may be held.

On the premise of this, the sub-control unit 91 makes the first suggestion at different selection ratios when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state and when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Either control or second suggestion control may be performed. Further, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control at a higher rate than the second suggestion control, and wins the specific small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state. In some cases, the second suggestion control may be performed at a higher rate than the first suggestion control. Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control with a probability of 100% when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, and 100% when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. The second suggestion control may be performed with the probability of.

The execution timing of the suggestion control includes when the start switch 7 is operated, during reel rotation (for example, during the first stop operation and during the second stop operation), and after the reel is stopped (during the third stop operation). be.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the execution timing of the suggestion control. As shown in FIG. 13, the execution timing of the first suggestion control is the timing before the derivation before the symbol combination is finally derived in the unit game, and the derivation after the symbol combination is finally derived in the unit game. Including post-timing. The timing before derivation includes, for example, the timing at which the start switch 7 is operated and the timing during reel rotation (timing of the first stop operation and the second stop operation). The timing after derivation includes the timing after the reel is stopped (after the timing of the third stop operation). The first suggestion control A is a suggestion control before derivation, and is performed at the timing when the start switch 7 is operated. The first suggestion control B is a suggestion control before derivation, and is performed at the timing of the first stop operation and the second stop operation. The first suggestion control C is a suggestion control after derivation, and is performed after the timing of the third stop operation.

The execution timing of the second suggestion control includes the timing before the derivation before the symbol combination is finally derived in the unit game, and the timing after the derivation after the symbol combination is finally derived in the unit game. The timing before derivation includes, for example, the timing at which the start switch 7 is operated and the timing during reel rotation (timing of the first stop operation and the second stop operation). The timing after derivation includes the timing after the reel is stopped (after the timing of the third stop operation). The second suggestion control A is a suggestion control before derivation, and is performed at the timing when the start switch 7 is operated. The second suggestion control B is a suggestion control before derivation, and is performed at the timing of the first stop operation and the second stop operation. The second suggestion control C is a suggestion control after derivation, and is performed after the timing of the third stop operation.

The sub-control unit 91 performs suggestion control at any of the above-mentioned execution timings based on the winning combination in the internal lottery and the state in the advantageous section.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 (a), when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub control unit 91 does not perform the navigation effect and the background control, so that the first suggestion control or the first suggestion control or The second suggestion control is performed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the start switch 7 is operated, the reel is rotating (for example, during the first stop operation or the second stop operation), and Suggestion control is performed either after the reel is stopped (after the third stop operation).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 (a), when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub control unit 91 executes 15-sheet navigation and has a higher ratio than the second background control. In order to perform the first background control in, the first suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than the second suggestion control, but even in this case, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the start switch 7 is operated, Suggestion control is performed either during reel rotation (for example, during the first stop operation or during the second stop operation) or after the reel is stopped (after the third stop operation).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 (a), when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub control unit 91 executes one-sheet navigation and has a higher ratio than the first background control. In order to perform the second background control in, the second suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than the first suggestion control, but even in this case, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the start switch 7 is operated, Suggestion control is performed either during reel rotation (for example, during the first stop operation or during the second stop operation) or after the reel is stopped (after the third stop operation).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 (a), when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub control unit 91 executes 15-sheet navigation and has a higher ratio than the second background control. In order to perform the first background control in, the first suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than the second suggestion control, but even in this case, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the start switch 7 is operated, Suggestion control is performed either during reel rotation (for example, during the first stop operation or during the second stop operation) or after the reel is stopped (after the third stop operation).

As shown in FIG. 12B, the sub-control unit 91 controls the first background at a higher rate than the second background control when the navigation small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. In the case of performing, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-sheet navigation is executed, the rate is higher than the case where the second background control is performed at a rate higher than that of the first background control, before the derivation. Suggestion control is performed at the timing (when the start switch 7 is operated or the reel is rotating).

When the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control at a higher rate than the first background control when the specific small winning combination is won and the one-sheet navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursor state, the timing before derivation (start switch). Suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than during the operation of 7 or during reel rotation) at the timing after derivation (after the third stop operation).

When the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control at a higher rate than the second background control when the specific small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state, the timing after derivation (third). Suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than (after the stop operation) at the timing before derivation (during the operation of the start switch 7 or during reel rotation).

When the specific small winning combination is elected in the CZ state or the AT state and the first background control is performed at a higher rate than the second background control when the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the sub control unit 91 is in the normal state or the precursor state. When a specific small winning combination is elected and one-sheet navigation is executed, suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the second background control is performed at a higher rate than the first background control at the timing when the start switch 7 is operated. ..

In this way, the timing at which the first suggestion control is performed in response to the first background control, which has a high selection rate when the navigation small role is won, has a high selection rate when the specific small role is won. 2 It is different from the timing when the ratio of the second suggestion control being performed corresponding to the background control is high.

Specifically, when a specific small winning combination is won and one piece navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursor state, the rate is higher than the timing before derivation (when the start switch 7 is operated or the reel is rotating). Since the suggestion control is performed at the timing after the derivation (during the third stop operation), one navigation is executed when the start switch 7 is operated in the game in which the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. It is possible to make the player properly recognize that, and also to make the player recognize that the stop switch can be operated according to the navigation image.

Further, the ratio of suggestion control performed when the start switch 7 is operated when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state is the ratio when the start switch 7 is operated when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. It is lower than the rate at which suggestive control is performed.

As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-sheet navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated, so that the one-sheet navigation is executed. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult for a person to recognize as much as possible.

In addition, the ratio of suggestion control performed at the timing before derivation when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state is performed at the timing before derivation when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. It is lower than the percentage that is said.

As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-card navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the symbol combination, so that the player switches the stop switch according to the one-card navigation. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult to operate as much as possible.

In addition, the ratio of suggestion control performed at the timing after derivation when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state is controlled at the timing after derivation when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Higher than the percentage

As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-card navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the symbol combination, so that the player switches the stop switch according to the one-card navigation. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult to operate as much as possible.

It should be noted that the start is when the specific small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state, and when the navigation small combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. The execution rate at which the suggestion control is performed when the switch 7 is operated may be different. Further, it is derived when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state and the 15-sheet navigation is executed, and when the navigation small combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. The execution rate at which the suggestion control is performed at a later timing may be different.

As a result, in the CZ state or the AT state, the timing at which the suggestion control is performed changes according to the winning combination, so that the effect of the effect can be suitably enhanced.

[Control when winning a navigation target]
Hereinafter, the first to fifth forms will be illustrated and described as modes of control related to the navigation notification and the effect when the navigation target combination is won.

[Regarding the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the first form]
First, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 27.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification and hides the game auxiliary display 12. .. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the navigation small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command indicating "0" in which the stop operation order is not specified is transmitted.

The sub-control unit 91 does not execute the navigation effect at the start of the game, as shown in FIGS. 17 (b) and 18 (b), when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state in the advantageous section. As shown in FIGS. 17 (c) and 17 (d) and FIGS. 18 (c) and 18 (d), the operation operation effect is not executed during both the first stop and the second stop. Then, when the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order corresponding to the winning navigation small role (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order is left middle right), and the main small role wins. As shown in FIG. 17 (e), at the time of the third stop, the payout sound accompanying the winning of the main and small winning combination is output from the speaker as a winning effect. On the other hand, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order corresponding to the winning navigation small winning combination (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order other than the left middle right). If the winning combination is won or lost, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), neither winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win one piece according to the type of combination ("7" indicating the stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop reel if it is a left specific small combination, even if it is a middle specific small combination For example, "8" indicating the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop reel, and "9") indicating the stop operation order in which the right reel is the first stop is displayed in the case of a right specific small winning combination. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of a specific small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command capable of specifying a navigation number indicating a stop operation order for winning one piece according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination is transmitted.

When the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 is notified by the navigation notification at the start of the game as shown in FIGS. 19 (b) and 20 (b). In the first mode, a navigation effect (one-sheet navigation) that notifies the stop operation order (for example, in the case of winning the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop) for winning one sheet is performed. Run. In the navigation effect of the first aspect, in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, that is, in the area above the first stop reel for winning one sheet, a plain background image is used. This is a navigation effect that displays a navigation image showing the first stop reel on which "1" is superimposed.

Further, when the specific small winning combination is won and the one-sheet navigation is executed in the normal state and the precursor state, for example, the second background control is performed. In the game in which the second background control is performed, as shown in FIGS. 19A and 20A, FIGS. 19B and 20B are displayed in a state where the background image before the start of the game is displayed. ), Even if the start switch 7 is operated by the player, the background image of the previous game is taken over and displayed as it is. Further, as shown in FIGS. 19 (c) to 19 (e), even if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player, the character moves without switching the background image for each operation. The background image that looks like it continues to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 19C, when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the navigation indicating the first stop reel is performed. The image is erased, and the correct answer effect is executed in the first mode as an operation effect. The correct answer effect of the first aspect is that the stop operation order is correct by displaying "NICE!" In the area where the navigation image showing the first stop reel is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. It is a production to notify. Then, as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop if the left specific small winning combination is won), one piece is awarded. In this case, as shown in FIG. 19 (e), a reel flash that blinks the LED arranged behind the reel is executed as a winning effect at the third stop, and an opportunity sound such as "chance" is output from the speaker. By doing so, it is notified that the normal G number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, or the first additional lottery has been performed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20 (c), at the time of the first stop, the stop operation (for example, the winning of the left specific small winning combination) in which the reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is the first stop is set. If it is time, when the stop operation (stop operation in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop) is performed, the navigation image showing the first stop reel is deleted and the operation operation effect is not executed. Then, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the reel other than the left reel is the first stop). As a result, when any of the specific small winning reels A, B, and C wins, as shown in FIG. 20 (e), none of the winning effects is executed at the time of the third stop.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning navigation small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win the main and small roles according to the type of role ("1" indicating left center right for left center right bell, "2" indicating left and right center for left and right center bells, "3" for middle left and right bells, "4" for middle right and left bells for middle left and right bells, "5" for right and left middle bells for right and left middle bells, and "5" for right middle left bells Display "6") indicating right, middle, and left. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the navigation small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command that can specify the navigation number indicating the stop operation order for winning the main small winning combination according to the type of the winning navigation small winning combination is transmitted.

When the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 is notified by the navigation notification at the start of the game as shown in FIGS. 21 (b) and 22 (b). In the second mode, a navigation effect (15-sheet navigation) for notifying the stop operation order (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order of the left middle right) for winning the main small role is executed. In the navigation effect of the second aspect, in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, "1" is superimposed on the character image in the area above the first stop reel according to the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification. A navigation image showing the stop reel is displayed, a navigation image showing the second stop reel with "2" superimposed on the character image is displayed in the area above the second stop reel, and the area above the third stop reel is displayed. , It is a navigation effect to display a navigation image showing a third stop reel in which "3" is superimposed on a character image.

Further, when the navigation small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state and the AT state, for example, the first background control is performed. In the game in which the first background control is performed, as shown in FIGS. 21 (a) and 22 (a), FIGS. 21 (b) and 22 (b) are displayed in a state where the background image before the start of the game is displayed. ), When the start switch 7 is operated by the player, a navigation background image, which is a background image dedicated to navigation, is displayed instead of the background image in the previous game. Further, as shown in FIGS. 21 (c) to 21 (e), the navigation background image is switched each time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player. Furthermore, the character displayed in the background image stops once when one stop switch is operated, remains stationary if no operation is performed, and then starts moving again when another stop switch is operated. .. In this way, the moving character repeats resting and moving.

As shown in FIG. 21 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the navigation indicating the first stop reel is performed. The image is erased, the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode as the operation operation effect, and the display of the character displayed as the background image is switched to be displayed in a large size, and the second stop is performed as shown in FIG. 21 (d). At times, when a stop operation is performed with the reel notified as the second stop reel as the second stop by the navigation effect, the navigation image showing the second stop reel is deleted, and the correct answer effect is displayed as the operation effect. It is executed in two modes, and the display of the character displayed as the background image is switched to display it in a larger size. The correct answer effect of the second aspect is an effect of notifying that the stop operation order is correct by displaying "GOOD!" In the area where the navigation image is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. .. Then, when the main small role wins a prize as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order of the left middle right). 21 (e) displays "15 Get!" On the liquid crystal display 51 as a winning effect at the time of the third stop, and executes an acquisition display indicating that 15 medals have been acquired. The payout sound that accompanies the winning of a small role is output from the speaker.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop, the navigation effect notifies the reel as the second stop reel. When a stop operation is performed with a reel other than the reel as the second stop, all the navigation images are deleted and the character image is also deleted, and an error effect is executed as an operation operation effect. The error effect is to display "MISS!" In the upper area of the stopped reel to notify that the stop operation order is incorrect and to notify that the stop operation order is incorrect. This is an effect of outputting from the speakers 8L and 8R. Then, as a result of the stop operation being performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order other than the left middle right), the sub-small If the winning combination is won or lost, as shown in FIG. 22 (e), neither winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As described above, in the first background control, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the navigation image, the stop switch 8L is operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image. , 8C, 8R are controlled differently than when they are operated. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 21 (b) to (e) and FIGS. 22 (b) to (e), in the first background control, the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image. When, 8R is operated, "GOOD!" Is displayed and the rest of the navigation image is continuously displayed, and the background image is switched according to the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, whereas the navigation image is displayed. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by, "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear, and then the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. The background image does not switch according to.

This makes it possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the stop switch could not be operated according to the navigation image.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C according to the type of combination (in the case of the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the reels other than the left reel are the first stop) Of these, "3" indicating the middle left and right, "5" indicating the middle right and left of the stop operation order in which the reels other than the middle reel are the first stop in the case of the middle specific small combination, and the right specific small combination In the stop operation order in which the reels other than the right reel are the first stop, "1") indicating the left middle right is displayed. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the specific small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation number indicating the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination is specified. Send possible navigation commands.

When the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 starts the game as shown in FIGS. 23 (b), 24 (b), and 25 (b). Stop operation order to win any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C sometimes notified by the navigation notification (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the reel other than the right reel is the first stop. Of the operation order, the navigation effect (15-sheet navigation) for notifying the left middle right stop operation order) is executed in the second mode.

Further, when the specific small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state and the AT state, for example, the first background control is performed. In the game in which the first background control is performed, as shown in FIGS. 23 (a), 24 (a), and 25 (a), in the state where the background image before the start of the game is displayed, FIG. 23 ( As shown in b), FIG. 24 (b), and FIG. 25 (b), when the start switch 7 is operated by the player, the navigation background is a background image dedicated to navigation instead of the background image in the previous game. The image is displayed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 23 (c) to 23 (e), the navigation background image is switched each time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player. Furthermore, the character displayed in the background image stops once when one stop switch is operated, remains stationary if no operation is performed, and then starts moving again when another stop switch is operated. .. In this way, the moving character repeats resting and moving.

As shown in FIG. 23 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the navigation indicating the first stop reel is performed. The image is erased, the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode as the operation operation effect, the display of the character displayed as the background image is switched to display it in a large size, and the second stop is performed as shown in FIG. 23 (d). At times, when a stop operation is performed with the reel notified as the second stop reel as the second stop by the navigation effect, the navigation image showing the second stop reel is deleted, and the correct answer effect is displayed as the operation effect. It is executed in two modes, and the display of the character displayed as the background image is switched to display it in a larger size. Then, as a result of the stop operation being performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the right specific small winning combination, the stop operation order of the left middle right), the specific small winning combination A, B, C If any of the above wins a prize, as shown in FIG. 23 (e), "15 Get!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a winning effect at the time of the third stop to indicate that 15 medals have been won. The acquisition display is executed, and the payout sound associated with the winning of any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is output from the speaker.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24 (c) or FIG. 25 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop, the navigation effect causes the first stop. 2 When a stop operation is performed with a reel other than the reel notified as a stop reel as the second stop, all navigation images are deleted and the character image is also deleted, and an error effect is executed as an operation effect. .. Then, among the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, left and right). If any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins as a result of the stop operation performed in the order of the stop operation (middle, middle left / right, middle right / left stop operation order), as shown in FIG. 3 When the prize is stopped, the winning effect is not displayed, but the payout sound associated with the winning of any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is output from the speaker. In addition, the stop operation order in which one of the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect wins a prize (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the right reel is the first stop). If one piece wins as a result of the stop operation in the order), as shown in FIG. 25 (e), no winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As shown in FIG. 16, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal section, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification and hides the game auxiliary display 12. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the navigation small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command indicating "0" in which the stop operation order is not specified is transmitted.

As shown in FIGS. 17 (b) and 18 (b), the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the navigation effect at the start of the game when the navigation small winning combination is won in the normal section, and FIG. 17 (c), As shown in (d) and FIGS. 18 (c) and 18 (d), the operation-time effect is not executed at the time of the first stop and the second stop. Then, when the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order corresponding to the winning navigation small role (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order is left middle right), and the main small role wins. As shown in FIG. 17 (e), at the time of the third stop, the payout sound accompanying the winning of the main and small winning combination is output from the speaker as a winning effect. On the other hand, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order corresponding to the winning navigation small winning combination (for example, in the case of winning the left middle right bell, the stop operation order other than the left middle right). If the winning combination is won or lost, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), neither winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As shown in FIG. 16, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal section, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification and hides the game assist display 12. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of a specific small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command indicating "0" in which the stop operation order is not specified is transmitted.

As shown in FIGS. 26 (b) and 27 (b), the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the navigation effect at the start of the game when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal section, and FIG. 26 (c), As shown in (d) and FIGS. 27 (c) and 27 (d), the operation operation effect is not executed during both the first stop and the second stop. Then, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is won according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination (for example, when the left specific small winning combination is won, the reel other than the left reel is used as the first reel. When the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order of 1 stop) and any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), as a winning effect at the third stop. The payout sound accompanying the winning of any of the specific small reels A, B, and C is output from the speaker. On the other hand, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order in which one piece is won according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination (for example, in the case of winning the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop). If one of the winning cards is won, as shown in FIG. 27 (e), no winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As described above, in the first form, it is advantageous when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and one piece wins. In the section, the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and the effect control is different depending on whether one is won. Is executed, suitable effect control can be executed depending on whether the state is a normal state and a precursor state, or a CZ state and an AT state.

In addition, when one of the specific small winning combinations is won in the advantageous section in the normal state or the precursory state, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation notification, and one piece is won, the reel is used as a winning effect. While the flash is executed and the opportunity sound is output, the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification. If one of the winning cards is won, none of the winning effects will be executed. Therefore, in the normal state and the precursory state, the one that is the target of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery won the prize. It can be noticed.

In the first mode, the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, and the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation notification, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed. When a prize is won, a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, and the stopping operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and the specific small winning combination A and B are performed. Since the effect control is executed differently depending on whether any of the two is won, the appropriate effect control is executed according to whether the state is the normal state and the precursor state, or the CZ state and the AT state. Can be done.

In addition, one of the specific small winning combinations is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation notification, and any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is performed. When a prize is won, the acquisition display is executed as a winning effect, and the payout sound associated with the winning of any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is output, while the specified in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. If any of the small wins is won and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and any of the specific small wins A, B, or C wins, any of them. Since the winning effect is not executed, it is possible to prevent the specific small winning combination A, B, and C from being recognized as recommended in the normal state and the precursory state.

In the first form, a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation notification, and one piece wins, and the case is specified in the normal section. Since different production controls are executed depending on whether a small winning combination is won and one piece is won without navigation notification, it is a suitable production depending on whether it is a normal state, a precursor state, or a normal section. Control can be performed.

In addition, when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and one piece wins, the reel flash is executed as a winning effect. And while the opportunity sound is output, if any of the left, middle, and right specific small wins is won in the normal section, and one piece is won without navigation notification, none of the winning effects will be executed. In the normal state and the precursory state, it can be noted that one piece that is the target of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery wins a prize.

In the first form, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal section, the navigation notification is not performed, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, and the specific small winning combination in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section. Is won, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and different production control is executed depending on whether any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. Therefore, it is possible to execute suitable effect control according to whether it is a normal state and a precursor state, or a normal section.

In addition, when a specific small winning combination is won in a normal section and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won without navigation notification, one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded as a winning effect. While the payout sound is output, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification. If any of the winning combinations A, B, and C wins, none of the winning effects will be executed. Therefore, it is recommended to win the specific small winning combination A, B, C in the normal state and the precursory state. It can be prevented from being recognized as.

In the first form, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation notification for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed, it is specified. One of the predetermined stop operation orders among the multiple stop operation orders for winning any of the small winning combinations A, B, and C (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, middle left / right, middle right left, right left middle , Right, middle, left stop operation order, middle right, left stop operation order), so if a specific small combination is won in the CZ state and AT state in the advantageous section, the specific small combination A Even if the stop operation order for winning any of, B, C includes a plurality of stop operation orders, the navigation notification for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C The content is not complicated.

In the first form, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed, it is specified. One of the multiple stop operation orders for winning any of the small winning combinations A, B, and C (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, right A navigation effect is performed to notify the stop operation order of the middle right and left of the stop operation order of the middle left, and a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, and the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect is performed. When the stop operation is performed with, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the specific small winning combination A is performed. Since the effect control is executed differently depending on whether any of, B, and C is won, it is possible to recognize whether or not the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, depending on the difference in the effect. ..

In addition, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. In, while the navigation effect is terminated at the timing when the third stop operation is performed, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C are performed. If either one wins, the navigation effect ends at the timing when the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect (timing of the first stop operation or the second stop operation). Therefore, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect. Whether or not it has been done can be recognized by the timing when the navigation effect ends.

In addition, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. In, while the correct answer effect is performed as an operation effect at the timing of the first stop operation and the second stop operation, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and is specified. When any of the small winning combinations A, B, and C wins, the timing at which the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect (first stop operation or second stop operation). Since an incorrect effect is performed as an operation effect at the timing of Whether or not the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the effect can be recognized by the difference in the operation-time effect executed at the timing when the stop operation is performed.

In addition, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. While the acquisition display is executed as a winning effect, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. In this case, since the acquisition display is not executed as a winning effect, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, the navigation effect is produced. It is possible to recognize whether or not the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the above, depending on whether or not the acquisition display is performed as a winning effect.

In the first mode, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the advantageous section. Of these, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and AT state and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, different effect control is executed in the navigation effect. When the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the above, it is possible to execute suitable effect control according to whether it is a normal state and a precursor state or a CZ state and an AT state. ..

In addition, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, an error effect is produced as an operation effect. When a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, any operation time effect is performed. Since it is not executed, if the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the degree of disadvantage is higher than that in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. Being large (in the normal state and the precursor state, if one piece is not won, the normal G number shortening lottery etc. will not be performed, but 15 medals can be obtained, while in the CZ state and the AT state, the specific small winning combination A, If B and C are not won, the number of medals that can be obtained purely decreases.) Can be recognized.

In the first form, the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the left specific small winning combination is won, and the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination B and C are won when the middle specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won. And, include the common stop operation order (stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop), and the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the middle specific small winning combination is won, and the left specific small winning combination, The stop operation order in which the specific small winning combinations A and C are won when the right specific small winning combination is won includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop), and the right specific small winning combination is included. The stop operation order for winning one card when a winning combination is won and the stop operation order for winning specific small winning combinations A and B when the left specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won are common stops. The operation order (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) is included.

Then, when one specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is executed, only the first stop reel is used. As a stop operation order in which one of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is won when another specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section by executing the navigation effect to be notified in one mode. , When executing a navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order common to the stop operation order in which one piece is won when one specific small winning combination is won, the first stop to the third stop reels are used in the second mode. Even when the navigation effect to be notified is executed and the common stop operation order is notified, the effect mode of the navigation effect is different. It becomes easy to understand whether to win one of C.

In the first form, the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination A is won when the left specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation order in which the main small winning combination is won when the middle and left bells are won are common stop operations. It includes the order (stop operation order of middle left and right), the stop operation order to win the specific small role B when the middle specific small role is won, and the stop to win the main small role when the right and left middle bells are won. The operation order includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in the middle right and left), and the stop operation order in which the specific small combination C is won when the right specific small combination is won, and the left middle right bell are won. The stop operation order for winning the main and small winning combination and the common stop operation order (left middle right stop operation order) are included.

Then, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is executed, which is advantageous. When the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the section, the specific small winning combination is elected and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is notified. Since the navigation effect having the same effect mode is executed in the case of executing the navigation effect to be performed, in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed. Even if the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won, the navigation effect can be executed without any discomfort.

In the first mode, in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed, even if the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation small winning combination is performed. Even if the user is elected, the navigation effect having the same effect mode is executed. However, in the first form, the navigation effect that notifies the common stop operation order in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section is provided. When executing, regardless of whether the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won, the navigation effect (for example, the font of the characters constituting the navigation image, the navigation image) has a similar effect mode. The character image, the color of the navigation image, and the size of the navigation image are different at least partly, but the navigation effect is similar as a whole). Of these, in the CZ state and the AT state, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed, regardless of whether the specific small winning combination is won or the navigation small winning combination is won. You can perform navigation effects without any discomfort.

In addition, the navigation number notified by the navigation notification when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section is the same as the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded. It is the same as the navigation number at the time of winning the navigation small role that the main small role wins in the stop operation order, and apart from the navigation number used at the time of winning the navigation small role, the specific small role A, B, at the time of winning the specific small role, Since the navigation number for winning any of C is not required, the amount of data required for navigation notification can be reduced.

Further, when the navigation notification is performed, a navigation command capable of specifying the navigation number notified by the navigation notification is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and a specific small winning combination is transmitted in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. The navigation command sent when is won is sent at the time of winning the navigation small role in which the main small role wins in the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small wins A, B, and C and the common stop operation order. Since it does not require a navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to a specific small role, apart from the navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to the specific small role, it is common to the navigation command. The amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced.

FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the execution status of each effect when the watermelon is won in the CZ state and the AT state. As described above, the sub-control unit 91 executes the special navigation when any of the weak chance replay, the strong chance replay, and the watermelon is won in the CZ state or the AT state. For example, when the start switch 7 is operated as shown in FIG. 28 (b) in the state where the background image of the previous game is displayed as shown in FIG. 28 (a), the previous time is the same as in the first background control. The background image of the game is switched and the background image dedicated to navigation is displayed. At this time, three images in which "!" Are superimposed on the plain background image are displayed as navigation images.

As shown in FIG. 28 (c), when the first stop operation is performed at the time of the first stop, the image of "!" Showing the first stop reel is erased, and the correct answer effect is displayed as the operation operation effect. It is executed in two modes (“GOOD!”), And the display of the character displayed as the background image is switched and displayed in a large size. 2 When the stop operation is performed, the image of "!" Showing the second stop reel is deleted, the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode ("GOOD!") As the operation operation effect, and the background image is used. Switch the display of the displayed character to make it larger. Then, when the symbol combination corresponding to the watermelon winning is derived according to the skill of the player, as shown in FIG. 28 (e), the winning effect such that the backlights of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are turned on at the time of the third stop. Is executed. In this way, even if a role that is not the target of navigation is won, the first background control is performed, so that the unexpectedness can be enhanced and the interest of the game can be improved.

FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining the execution status of each effect at the time of winning the specific small winning combination and at the time of winning the navigation small winning combination at the start of AT. FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining the execution status of each effect at the time of winning a specific small winning combination and winning a navigation small winning combination at the time of notification of a result. FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the execution status of each effect at the time of winning the specific small winning combination and at the time of winning the navigation small winning combination at the time of addition.

As described above, in the game in which the specific background image is displayed, the sub-control unit 91 can be used when the navigation small role is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed, and when the specific small combination is won and the single navigation is executed. In both cases when the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the second background control is performed with a 100% probability as the navigation background control.

For example, as shown in FIG. 29, in the AT state in which the AT start image indicating the start of AT is displayed, when 15-sheet navigation is executed by winning a specific small winning combination, and by winning a navigation small winning combination. In any case when the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the background image of the previous game is continuously displayed without switching to the background image dedicated to the navigation. Specifically, the character image of "AT start" is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the UFO image continues to move as the background image in the second background control on the back side thereof. Then, while the UFO image continues to move as the background image, the navigation effect is executed. As a result, the visibility of the AT start image is not hindered by the background image for navigation, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the start of the AT.

Further, as shown in FIG. 30, in the AT state in which the AT end image indicating the end of AT is displayed, when the 15-sheet navigation is executed by winning the specific small winning combination, and by winning the navigation small winning combination. In any case when the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the background image of the previous game is continuously displayed without switching to the background image dedicated to the navigation. Specifically, a result image notifying the result of the game in the AT is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the UFO image continues to move as the background image in the second background control on the back side thereof. Then, while the UFO image continues to move as the background image, the navigation effect is executed. As a result, the visibility of the result image is not hindered by the background image for navigation, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the end of the AT.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31, in the AT state in which an image showing the addition of AT is displayed, when 15-sheet navigation is executed by winning a specific small winning combination, and 15 sheets by winning a navigation small winning combination. In any case when the navigation is executed, the background image of the previous game is continuously displayed without switching to the background image dedicated to the navigation. Specifically, a new UFO appears on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and an additional image suggesting the addition of 30 games is displayed, and the UFO image continues to move as a background image in the second background control on the back side thereof. .. Then, while the UFO image continues to move as the background image, the navigation effect is executed. As a result, the visibility of the added image is not hindered by the background image for navigation, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the added AT.

[About the transition to the precursor mode]
FIG. 32 is a diagram for explaining the transition ratio of the precursor effect mode. As described above, in the slot machine 1, the number of normal games is determined by the lottery for the number of normal games, and the number of normal games is controlled to a precursor state by digesting the number of normal games. Further, in digesting the number of normal games, a normal zone and a special zone in which the update width of the number of normal games (value subtracted from the number of normal games) is larger than that of the normal zone are provided.

Immediately before reaching 100 games, which is the maximum number of normal games in mode A, or just before reaching 200 games, which is the maximum number of normal games in mode B, the player expects to shift to the precursory state.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the difference between the number of normal games updated at the present time and 200 games, which is one of the breaks, is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), the difference is a predetermined value (for example). , 100 games), it is possible to shift to the precursor effect mode at a higher rate than when it is larger. In the precursor effect mode, a specific effect is executed. For example, in the precursory effect mode, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), for example, when a specific small winning combination is won and one piece navigation is executed in a normal state, one piece is won in the stop operation order (for example,). , If the left specific small winning combination is won, the mode of the navigation image for notifying the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop) becomes the specific mode (star shape in this example). In this way, in the precursor effect mode, the player is suggested to be shifting to the precursor effect mode by executing the navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the mode of the navigation image is a specific mode, and soon. The player is notified that the ceiling of the normal state game number will be reached.

It should be noted that the navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the mode of the navigation image as described above becomes a specific mode may be executed even when the player is advantageous. For example, in the normal state, in the case of mode C, a navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the mode of the navigation image becomes a specific mode may be executed at a higher rate than in the case of mode A or mode B. Further, in the precursor state or the CZ state, when the AT lottery is won, the navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the mode of the navigation image becomes a specific mode at a higher rate than when the AT lottery is not won is performed. It may be executed. Further, in the AT state, when the additional lottery is won, the navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the aspect of the navigation image becomes a specific aspect is executed at a higher rate than when the additional lottery is not won. May be good. As a result, when the navigation effect (precursor effect) in which the mode of the navigation image is changed to a specific mode is executed, the player can expect to be advantageous, and the same as in the case of shifting to the precursor effect mode. In addition, more attention can be paid to the precursory production.

The precursor mode truly suggests that you will reach the ceiling of the number of normal state games soon (in the case of the true precursor mode), and the normal state soon even though you have not reached the ceiling of the number of normal state games yet. There are cases where it is suggested that the ceiling of the number of games will be reached (in the case of the precursory effect mode of Gase).

Further, as a result of the progress of the game in the special zone and the end of the special zone, the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value (for example, 100 games) is the rate at which the game progresses in the normal zone. As a result, when the difference is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), it is higher than the ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode.

For example, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), it is assumed that the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 200 games, and as a result of updating the number of normal games in the normal zone, the number exceeds 100 games. .. That is, as a result of gradually updating the number of normal games in the normal zone, it is assumed that the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, is less than 100 games. In such a case, the ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode is A1. Since the number of remaining normal games up to the number of ceiling games (200 games) is less than 100 games, the precursor effect mode to be shifted at this time is the true precursor effect mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), when the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 200 games, the number of normal games is greatly updated in the special zone, and as a result, the number exceeds 100 games. Suppose. That is, as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the special zone, it is assumed that the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, is less than 100 games. In such a case, the ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode is defined as B1. Since the number of remaining normal games up to the number of ceiling games (200 games) is less than 100 games, the precursor effect mode to be shifted at this time is the true precursor effect mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), when the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 300 games, it is assumed that the number of normal games exceeds 100 as a result of updating the number of normal games in the normal zone. .. That is, as a result of gradually updating the number of normal games in the normal zone, it is assumed that the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the breaks, is less than 100 games. In other words, it is assumed that the difference between the number of ceiling games of 300 games and the number of digested normal games is larger than 100 games. In such a case, the ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode is A2. Since the number of normal games remaining up to the number of ceiling games (300 games) is not yet less than 100 games, the precursor effect mode to be shifted at this time is the so-called precursor effect mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), when the number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 300 games, the number of normal games is greatly updated in the special zone, and as a result, the number exceeds 100 games. Suppose. That is, as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the special zone, it is assumed that the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the divisions, is less than 100 games. In other words, it is assumed that the difference between the number of ceiling games of 300 games and the number of digested normal games is larger than 100 games. In such a case, the ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode is defined as B2. Since the number of normal games remaining up to the number of ceiling games (300 games) is not yet less than 100 games, the precursor effect mode to be shifted at this time is the so-called precursor effect mode of Gase.

As shown in FIG. 32 (c), the transition ratio of the precursor effect mode is set so that A1 is larger than A2, B1 is larger than B2, B1 is larger than A1, and B2 is larger than A2. ing.

That is, since A1 is larger than A2, the ratio of the true precursor effect mode to shift to the true precursor effect mode is higher than that of the gasse precursor effect mode in the normal zone. Since B1 is larger than B2, in the special zone, the true precursor effect mode has a higher ratio of transition than the precursor effect mode of Gase. As a result, when the mode shifts to the precursory effect mode and the star-shaped navigation effect as shown in FIG. 33 (b) is executed, the ratio of the true precursory effect mode is higher than that of the Gase precursor effect mode. The player can be expected to reach the ceiling of the normal state number of games.

Further, since B1 is larger than A1, the special zone has a higher ratio of shifting to the true precursor effect mode than the normal zone. Since B2 is larger than A2, the special zone has a higher ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode of Gase than the normal zone. In this way, in both the true precursor effect mode and the precursor effect mode of Gase, the special zone has a higher ratio of shifting to the precursor effect mode of Gase than the normal zone. As a result, the player who has advanced the game in the special zone can expect to shift to the precursory effect mode after the special zone ends, and even after the special zone ends, the game can be played. Can sustain the hobby of.

[Regarding the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the second form]
Next, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the second form will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 37. The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the second form is the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the control at the time of winning the navigation small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. Since the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal section is the same as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the first form, here, the control at the time of winning the specific small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. Will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 34, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C according to the type of combination (in the case of the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the reels other than the left reel are the first stop) Of these, "8" indicates the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop, and in the case of a medium specific small winning combination, the right reel is the first stop in the stop operation order in which the reels other than the middle reel are the first stop. "9" indicating the stop operation order to be performed, and "7" indicating the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop among the stop operation orders in which the reels other than the right reel are the first stop in the case of the right specific small winning combination. ) Is displayed. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the specific small winning combination is transmitted, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination. A navigation command that can specify the navigation number indicating the stop operation order is sent.

When the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 starts the game as shown in FIGS. 35 (b), 36 (b), and 37 (b). Stop operation order to win any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C sometimes notified by the navigation notification (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the reel other than the right reel is the first stop. Of the operation order, the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order) in which the left reel is the first stop is executed in the third aspect. In the navigation effect of the third aspect, in the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, that is, above the first stop reel for winning any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C. This is a navigation effect that displays a navigation image showing the first stop reel in which "1" is superimposed on the character image in the area. Further, as shown in FIG. 35 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the first stop reel is set. The shown navigation image is erased, and the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode as the operation effect. Then, as a result of the stop operation being performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the right specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop), the specific small winning combination A , B, or C wins, as shown in FIG. 35 (e), "15 Get!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a winning effect at the third stop, and 15 medals are won. The acquisition display indicating that the winning is performed is executed, and the payout sound accompanying the winning of any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is output from the speaker.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 36 (c) or FIG. 37 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop, all of them are stopped. Erase the navigation image and execute a mistake effect as an operation effect. Then, among the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the middle) If any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop operation order in which the reel is the first stop), as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the third stop operation is performed. Although the winning display is not executed when the winning effect is stopped, the payout sound associated with the winning of any of the specific small winning reels A, B, and C is output from the speaker. In addition, the stop operation order in which one of the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect wins a prize (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the right reel is the first stop). If one piece wins as a result of the stop operation in the order), as shown in FIG. 37 (e), no winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

In this way, in the second form, the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the left specific small winning combination is won, and the specific small winning combination B and C are won when the middle specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won. The stop operation order includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop), and the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the middle-specific small winning combination is won and the left-specific. The stop operation order in which the specific small winning combinations A and C are won when the small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop). The stop operation order for winning one card when the right specific small winning combination is won, and the stop operation order for winning the specific small winning combination A and B when the left specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won are It includes a common stop operation order (stop order with the right reel as the first stop).

Then, when one specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is executed, the navigation for notifying in the first mode is performed. When the production is executed and another specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, one specific small winning combination is set as the stop operation order in which one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won. If you want to execute a navigation effect that notifies you of the stop operation order that is common to the stop operation order that wins one card when you win, the navigation effect that notifies you in the third aspect is executed and the common stop operation order is notified. Even in this case, since the production mode of the navigation effect is different, it becomes easy to understand whether to win one piece or to win one of the specific small roles A, B, and C depending on the difference in the production mode of the navigation effect.

Further, in the second mode, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, a navigation effect is executed to notify the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won. In addition, when the navigation small combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the character image is used both when executing the navigation effect to notify the stop operation order for winning the main small combination. Since the navigation effect is executed by the navigation image that was there, in the CZ state and AT state of the advantageous section, even if the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won, the navigation does not feel strange. You can perform the production.

[Regarding the control when the third form of navigation target combination is won]
Next, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the third form will be described with reference to FIG. 38. The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the third form is the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the control at the time of winning the navigation small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. Since the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal section is the same as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the first form, here, the control at the time of winning the specific small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. Will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 38, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win any of the specific small winning combination A, B, C according to the type of combination (in the case of the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in which the reels other than the left reel are the first stop) Of these, "8" indicates the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop, and in the case of a medium specific small winning combination, the right reel is the first stop in the stop operation order in which the reels other than the middle reel are the first stop. "9" indicating the stop operation order to be performed, and "7" indicating the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop among the stop operation orders in which the reels other than the right reel are the first stop in the case of the right specific small winning combination. ) Is displayed. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of the specific small winning combination is transmitted, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination. A navigation command that can specify the navigation number indicating the stop operation order is sent.

The sub-control unit 91 is a stop operation for winning any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C notified by the navigation notification at the start of the game when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. A navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order of one of the orders (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the stop operation order of the left middle right of the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop) It is executed in the second aspect. In addition, when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the navigation image showing the first stop reel is deleted and the operation operation effect is performed. When the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode and the stop operation is performed so that the reel notified as the second stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the second stop at the time of the second stop, the second stop reel is set. The indicated navigation image is erased, and the correct answer effect is executed in the second mode as the operation effect. Then, as a result of the stop operation being performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, in the case of winning the right specific small winning combination, the stop operation order of the left middle right), the specific small winning combination A, B, C If any of the above wins a prize, "15 Get!" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a winning effect at the time of the third stop, and a winning display indicating that 15 medals have been won is executed, and a specific small role is executed. The payout sound accompanying the winning of any of A, B, and C is output from the speaker.

On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop, the reel other than the reel notified as the second stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the second stop. When the stop operation is performed, all the navigation images are deleted and the error effect is executed as the operation operation effect. Then, among the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, left and right). If any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins as a result of the stop operation performed in the order of stop operation (middle, middle left / right, middle right / left stop operation order), the winning display of the winning effect at the third stop is displayed. Although it is not executed, the payout sound associated with the winning of any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is output from the speaker. In addition, the stop operation order in which one of the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect wins a prize (for example, if the right specific small winning combination is won, the right reel is the first stop). If one piece wins as a result of the stop operation (in order), neither prize-winning effect is executed at the time of the third stop.

As described above, in the third mode, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation effect is performed to notify the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won. Even if the stop operation order specified from the navigation command includes multiple types of stop operation order, one of the plurality of stop operation orders for winning any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is predetermined. Since the navigation effect is performed to notify the operation order (for example, in the case of the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the stop operation order of the middle right and left of the stop operation order of the middle left and right and the middle right and left), the navigation effect is performed. Of these, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state, even if the stop operation order specified from the navigation command includes multiple types of stop operation order, the specific small winning combination A, B, C The content of the navigation effect that informs the stop operation order to win one of them is not complicated.

In the third form, the stop operation order specified from the navigation command transmitted when the left specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section (stop operation order for winning the specific small winning combination A). The stop operation order specified from the navigation command sent when the middle and left bells are won (stop operation order to win the main and small winning combination) and the common stop operation order (middle and left and right stop operation order) are included. In the advantageous section, the stop operation order specified from the navigation command sent when the middle specific small combination is won in the CZ state and AT state (stop operation order to win the specific small combination B) and the right, left, and middle bells. The stop operation order specified from the navigation command sent when is won (stop operation order to win the main and small winning combination) and the common stop operation order (stop operation order in the right and left) are included, right. Specified from the stop operation order specified from the navigation command sent when the specific small winning combination is won (the order of the stop operation to win the specific small winning combination C) and the navigation command sent when the left middle right bell is won. The stop operation order to be performed (stop operation order to win the main and small winning combination) and the common stop operation order (stop operation order of left middle right) are included.

Then, the stop operation order specified from the navigation command transmitted by winning the specific small winning combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section are won. When the stop operation order specified from the transmitted navigation command and the stop operation order include a common stop operation order, the navigation effects having the same effect mode are executed in both cases. Therefore, in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, , When executing a navigation effect that notifies the common stop operation order, it is possible to execute the navigation effect without discomfort regardless of whether the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won. can.

It should be noted that, in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed, even if the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation small winning combination is won. However, navigation effects with similar effects (for example, fonts of characters that make up the navigation image, character images that make up the navigation image, colors of the navigation image, and at least part of the size of the navigation image are different, but they are similar as a whole. It may be configured to execute a navigation effect (such as a navigation effect), and even with such a configuration, in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying a common stop operation order is executed, the navigation effect is executed. Even if the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won, the navigation effect can be executed without any discomfort.

[Regarding the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the 4th form]
Next, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the fourth form will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 to 41. The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the fourth form is the control at the time of winning the navigation small combination in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. , The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal section is the same as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the first form. Will be explained. Further, as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the fourth form, the control of the second form or the third form may be applied as the control at the time of winning the specific small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section.

As shown in FIG. 39, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order to win one piece according to the type of combination ("7" indicating the stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop reel if it is a left specific small combination, even if it is a middle specific small combination For example, "8" indicating the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop reel, and "9") indicating the stop operation order in which the right reel is the first stop is displayed in the case of a right specific small winning combination. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of a specific small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command capable of specifying a navigation number indicating a stop operation order for winning one piece according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination is transmitted.

When the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 is notified by the navigation notification at the start of the game as shown in FIGS. 40 (b) and 41 (b). One of the stop operation orders for winning one card (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the left middle right stop operation order is the first stop for the left reel. ) Is executed in the fourth aspect. In the navigation effect of the fourth aspect, a navigation image showing the first stop reel in which "1" is superimposed on a plain background image is displayed in the area above the first stop reel according to the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification. In the area above the second stop reel, a navigation image showing the second stop reel with "2" superimposed on the plain background image is displayed, and in the area above the third stop reel, the plain background image is displayed. This is a navigation effect that displays a navigation image showing a third stop reel on which "3" is superimposed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 40 (c) and 41 (c), when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop. , The navigation image showing the first stop reel is erased, the correct answer effect is executed in the first mode as the operation effect, and as shown in FIG. 40 (d), the second stop is performed by the navigation effect at the second stop. When the stop operation is performed with the reel notified as the reel as the second stop, the navigation image showing the second stop reel is deleted, and the correct answer effect is executed in the first mode as the operation operation effect. Then, as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, the stop operation order of the left middle right if the left specific small winning combination is won), if one piece wins, As shown in FIG. 40 (e), the reel flash is executed as a winning effect at the time of the third stop, and the opportunity sound such as "chance" is output from the speaker, so that the normal G number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery or the second AT lottery is performed. 1 Notify that the additional lottery has been performed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41 (d), at the time of the second stop, the stop operation (for example, the right reel is the second stop) in which the reel other than the reel notified as the second stop reel by the navigation effect is the second stop is set. When the stop operation) is performed, all the navigation images are deleted and the operation effect is not executed. Then, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order in which one of the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect wins (for example, in the case of winning the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in the left and right). As a result of the above, when one piece is won, as shown in FIG. 41 (e), the opportunity sound is not output from the speaker as a winning effect at the time of the third stop, and only the reel flash is executed. It informs that the normal G number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, or the first additional lottery has been performed. In addition, at the time of the first stop, a stop operation in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the middle reel or the right reel is used. When the stop operation) is performed, all the navigation images are deleted and the operation effect is not executed. Then, among the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the left side). If any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins as a result of the stop operation (in the order of stop operation in which the reels other than the reels are the first stop), any of the winning effects will be produced at the time of the third stop. Do not execute.

As described above, in the fourth form, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is performed, the stop specified from the navigation command is performed. Even if the operation order includes a plurality of types of stop operation orders, it may be one of the predetermined stop operation orders (for example, the stop operation order in which the left reel is the first stop) among the plurality of stop operation orders for winning one sheet. For example, since the navigation effect is performed to notify the stop operation order of left middle right and right middle left stop operation order), when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. Even if the stop operation order specified from the navigation command includes a plurality of types of stop operation orders, the content of the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one sheet is not complicated.

In the fourth form, when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is performed, a plurality of stop operation orders for winning one piece are performed. A navigation effect is performed to notify one of the stop operation orders (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the stop operation order of the left middle right and the left middle right of the left middle right stop operation order). , When a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, and one piece wins, the stop operation notified by the navigation effect The stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the order, and in order to execute different effect control depending on whether one piece wins a prize, whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect is determined. It can be recognized by the difference in the production.

In addition, if a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, and if one piece wins, the third stop operation is performed. While the navigation effect is terminated at the same timing, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and if one piece is won, the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect is performed. In order to end the navigation effect at the timing when the stop operation is performed in a different stop operation order (timing of the second stop operation), a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and one piece is When a prize is won, it is possible to recognize whether or not the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operations notified by the navigation effect, depending on the timing at which the navigation effect ends.

In addition, if a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, and one piece wins, the first stop operation and the first stop operation are performed. 2 While the correct answer effect is performed as the operation effect at the timing of the stop operation, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect, and if one piece wins, the navigation After the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the effect, the operation time effect is not performed, so the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. When one piece wins, it is possible to recognize whether or not the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, depending on the presence or absence of the operation time effect executed at the timing when the stop operation is performed.

In addition, if a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop operation notified by the navigation effect, and one piece is won, a good opportunity sound is produced as a winning effect. On the other hand, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and if one piece is won, the opportunity sound is not output as the winning effect, so that it is in the advantageous section. If a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state and one piece is won, whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect is output as a winning effect. It can be recognized by whether or not.

In the fourth form, the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the left specific small winning combination is won, and the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination B and C are won when the middle specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won. And, include the common stop operation order (stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop), and the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the middle specific small winning combination is won, and the left specific small winning combination, The stop operation order in which the specific small winning combinations A and C are won when the right specific small winning combination is won includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop), and the right specific small winning combination is included. The stop operation order for winning one card when a winning combination is won and the stop operation order for winning specific small winning combinations A and B when the left specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won are common stops. The operation order (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) is included.

Then, when one specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is executed, the first stop to the third stop are performed. A navigation effect for notifying the reels in the fourth aspect is executed, and when another specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is stopped. As the operation order, when executing the navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order common to the stop operation order in which one piece is won when one specific small winning combination is won, the first stop to the third stop reels are the first. Even if the navigation effect that is notified in two modes is executed and the common stop operation order is notified, the effect mode of the navigation effect is different. , B, C will be easy to understand whether to win a prize.

[Regarding the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the fifth form]
Next, the control related to the navigation notification and the effect at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 42. The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the fifth form is the control at the time of winning the navigation small combination in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section. , The control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the normal section is the same as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination in the first form. Will be explained. Further, as the control at the time of winning the navigation target combination of the fifth form, the control of the second form or the third form may be applied as the control at the time of winning the specific small combination in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section.

As shown in FIG. 42, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification and displays the winning specific small on the game auxiliary display 12. Navi number indicating the stop operation order of one of the stop operation order to win one piece according to the type of combination (in the case of the left specific small combination, the left reel is the first stop reel in the left middle of the stop operation order "1" indicating the right stop operation order, "3" indicating the middle and left and right stop operation order among the stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop reel if it is a medium specific small combination, any right specific small combination For example, "5") indicating the stop operation order in the right and left of the stop operation order in which the right reel is the first stop is displayed. In addition, an internal winning command indicating the winning of a specific small winning combination is transmitted, and a navigation command capable of specifying a navigation number indicating a stop operation order for winning one piece according to the type of the winning specific small winning combination is transmitted.

When the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the sub control unit 91 wins one of the cards notified by the navigation notification at the start of the game (for example, the left specific small winning combination). At the time of winning, the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order of left, middle, and right) is executed in the fourth aspect. In addition, when a stop operation is performed in which the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop at the time of the first stop, the navigation image showing the first stop reel is deleted and the operation operation effect is performed. When the correct answer effect is executed in the first aspect and the stop operation is performed so that the reel notified as the second stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the second stop at the time of the second stop, the second stop reel is set. The indicated navigation image is erased, and the correct answer effect is executed in the first mode as the operation effect. Then, as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect (for example, the stop operation order of the left middle right if the left specific small winning combination is won), if one piece wins, By executing a reel flash as a winning effect at the third stop and outputting an opportunity sound such as "chance" from the speaker, it is notified that the normal G number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery or the first additional lottery has been performed. do.

On the other hand, at the time of the second stop, when a stop operation (for example, a stop operation in which the right reel is the second stop) is performed with a reel other than the reel notified as the second stop reel by the navigation effect as the second stop. Erases all navigation images and does not perform operational effects. Then, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order in which one of the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect wins (for example, in the case of winning the left specific small winning combination, the stop operation order in the left and right). As a result of the above, if one piece wins, the opportunity sound is not output from the speaker as a winning effect at the third stop, and only the reel flash is executed, so that the normal G number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery or Notify that the first additional lottery has been performed. In addition, at the time of the first stop, a stop operation in which a reel other than the reel notified as the first stop reel by the navigation effect is set as the first stop (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the middle reel or the right reel is used. When the stop operation) is performed, all the navigation images are deleted and the operation effect is not executed. Then, among the stop operation orders other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, the left side). If any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins as a result of the stop operation (in the order of stop operation in which the reels other than the reels are the first stop), any of the winning effects will be produced at the time of the third stop. Do not execute.

In this way, in the fifth form, the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the left specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation order in which the main small winning combination is won when the left middle right bell is won are common. It includes the stop operation order (stop operation order of left, middle, right), and the stop operation order to win one piece when the middle specific small role is won, and the main small role to win when the middle left and right bells are won. The stop operation order includes a common stop operation order (middle, left, and right stop operation order), and when the right specific small winning combination is won, one piece is won, and when the right, left, and middle bells are won. Includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in the middle right and left).

Then, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, the main small winning combination wins in the stop operation order in which the navigation number notified by the navigation notification wins one piece and the common stop operation order. This is the same as the navigation number used when the navigation small role is won, and it does not require a navigation number to win one when the specific small role is won, in addition to the navigation number used when the navigation small role is won. The amount of data required for navigation notification can be reduced.

Further, when the navigation notification is performed, a navigation command capable of specifying the navigation number notified by the navigation notification is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and a specific small role is specified in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. The navigation command sent when is won is the same as the navigation command sent when the main and small winning combination wins in the same stop operation order and the common stop operation order to win one piece. Since the navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to the specific small role is not required separately from the navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to the small role, the amount of data for sending the navigation command can be reduced. ..

[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 in the normal state, the strong chance replay A, B, the weak chance replay A, B, or If the watermelon is won and a lottery to shorten the number of normal games is performed, one of the specific small wins will be won, and one piece will be won without winning the specific small wins A, B, C, and the lottery to shorten the number of normal games will be held. When this is done, 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 after the start of the normal state.

In addition, if the strong chance replay A, B, the weak chance replay A, B, or the watermelon is won in the precursory state, one of the specific small roles is won, and one specific small role A, B, C is not won. When the prize is won, the lottery for shortening the number of games is not normally performed, but the sub-control unit 91 is specified when the strong chance replay A, B, the weak chance replay A, B, or the watermelon is won in the precursory state. Even if one of the small wins is won and one of the specific small wins A, B, and C is not won, the normal number of games is shortened.

In this case, if the strong chance replay A, B, the weak chance replay A, B, or the watermelon is won in the precursory state, one of the specific small wins is won and the specific small wins A, B, C 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 it on 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. 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 the large number of shortened games is displayed in the normal game number shortening production, in the normal state. Regardless of whether it is in a precursory state or in a precursory state, it suggests a situation that is advantageous to the player.

[About the first stage production]
Next, the execution state of the effect in the advantageous section state will be described with reference to FIG. 43. The main control unit 41 transmits a state command capable of specifying the state of the next game to the sub control unit 91 at the end of the game. 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. 43, 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. 43A, when the sub control unit 91 specifies the transition from the normal state to the precursor state from the state command on the main control unit 41 side, the sub control unit 91 ends the normal effect and the effect mode is different from that of the normal effect. Start the first stage production. Further, when it is specified from the state command that the number of remaining games in the precursor state is 3 games, the pre-stage 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 terminated and the CZ effect corresponding to the CZ state is started.

Further, as shown in FIG. 43B, 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 the predetermined number of games, the pre-stage effect 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 pre-stage effect, the sub-control unit 91 ends the normal effect and starts the pre-stage 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 after starting the previous stage effect (7 in this embodiment). When it is specified that the game (game to 17 games) has passed, the pre-stage effect is terminated and the CZ suggestion effect is started. After that, when it is specified from the state command that the first stage effect has passed and 3 games have passed, after notifying that the game does not shift to the CZ state, the next game is started, so that the CZ suggestion effect is terminated and the normal effect is performed. To start.

As described above, in this embodiment, while the pre-stage effect is always executed in the precursory state, the pre-stage effect may be executed even in the normal state, and by executing the pre-stage effect, it is controlled to the precursory state. 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 pre-stage effect is executed when the number of games that are likely to end the normal state and shift to the precursor state is reached, so that the precursor state is achieved by executing the pre-stage effect. You can expect it to be highly probable.

Further, as described above, if any of the specific small wins is won in the precursory state and one piece is won, the normal number of games shortening lottery is not performed, but the second AT lottery or the first additional lottery is performed. Because it is performed, even in a situation where the pre-stage effect is executed and it is suggested that there is a possibility that it is in a precursory state, it is urged to select an operation mode in which one piece is won without winning the specific small winning combination A, B, C. be able to.

[About game machine information]
Next, the gaming machine information displayed on the gaming machine information display 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 44.

While the reel flash is executed and the opportunity sound is output, if any of the left, middle, and right specific small wins is won in the normal section, and one piece is won without navigation notification, any winning effect Is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to the fact that one of the advantageous sections, which is the target of the normal game number shortening lottery, the second AT lottery, and the first additional lottery, wins in the normal state and the precursory state. can.

In this embodiment, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal section, the navigation notification is not performed, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, and the specific small winning combination in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section. Is won, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and different production control is executed depending on whether any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. It is a composition. With such a configuration, when any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins, appropriate production control is executed according to whether it is a normal state and a precursor state, or a normal section. can do.

Further, in this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal section, the navigation notification is not performed, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is won, the specific small winning combination A, B, C is used as a winning effect. While the payout sound associated with any of the winnings is output, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification. If any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is won, no winning effect is executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent it from being recognized that it is recommended to win the specific small winning combination A, B, C in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section.

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation notification for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed, it is specified. One of the predetermined stop operation orders among the multiple stop operation orders for winning any of the small winning combinations A, B, and C (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, middle left / right, middle right left, right left middle , Right, middle, left stop operation order, middle right, left stop operation order) is configured to perform navigation notification. With such a configuration, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, a plurality of stopping operation orders for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C are stopped. Even if the operation order is included, one stop operation order is notified by navigation, so the content of the navigation notification that notifies the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is not complicated. ..

In this embodiment, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed, it is specified. One of the multiple stop operation orders for winning any of the small winning combinations A, B, and C (for example, if the left specific small winning combination is won, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, right A navigation effect is performed to notify the stop operation order of the middle right and left of the stop operation order of the middle left, and a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, and the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect is performed. When the stop operation is performed with, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the specific small winning combination A is performed. , B, and C are configured to execute different effect control depending on whether or not a prize is won. With such a configuration, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and 15 medals are awarded, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect. Whether or not it was done can be recognized by the difference in the production.

In addition, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. In, while the navigation effect is terminated at the timing when the third stop operation is performed, the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C are performed. If either one wins, the navigation effect ends at the timing when the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect (timing of the first stop operation or the second stop operation). It is a configuration to make. With such a configuration, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins and 15 medals are awarded. In addition, it is possible to recognize whether or not the stop operation has been performed in the order of the stop operations notified by the navigation effect, depending on the timing at which the navigation effect ends.

In this embodiment, the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stopping operation is performed in the order of the stopping operation notified by the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is performed. When a prize is won, the acquisition display is executed as a winning effect, while the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified in the navigation effect, and any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is performed. If a prize is won, the acquisition display is not executed as a winning effect. With such a configuration, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins, the stop notified by the navigation effect. Whether or not the stop operation is performed in the operation order can be recognized by whether or not the acquisition display is performed as a winning effect.

In this embodiment, the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, and the advantageous section. Among them, the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state, and the effect control is executed differently depending on whether the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect. With such a configuration, when the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, it depends on whether the state is the normal state and the precursor state or the CZ state and the AT state. It is possible to execute suitable effect control.

Further, in this embodiment, when a specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, the operation time. When a mistaken effect is executed as an effect, a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section, and the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect, eventually. It is a configuration in which the effect at the time of operation is not executed. With such a configuration, if the stop operation is performed in a stop operation order different from the stop operation order notified by the navigation effect in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the stop operation is performed in the normal state and the precursor state in the advantageous section. It is possible to recognize that the degree of disadvantage is large.

In this embodiment, the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the left specific small winning combination is won, and the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination B and C are won when the middle specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won. And, include the common stop operation order (stop operation order with the left reel as the first stop), and the stop operation order in which one piece is won when the middle specific small winning combination is won, and the left specific small winning combination, The stop operation order in which the specific small winning combinations A and C are won when the right specific small winning combination is won includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in which the middle reel is the first stop), and the right specific small winning combination is included. The stop operation order for winning one card when a winning combination is won and the stop operation order for winning specific small winning combinations A and B when the left specific small winning combination and the right specific small winning combination are won are common stops. The operation order (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) is included.

Then, when one specific small winning combination is won in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning one piece is executed, only the first stop reel is used. As a stop operation order in which one of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is won when another specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section by executing the navigation effect to be notified in one mode. , When executing a navigation effect that notifies the stop operation order common to the stop operation order in which one piece is won when one specific small winning combination is won, the first stop to the third stop reels are used in the second mode. Even when the navigation effect to be notified is executed, that is, the common stop operation order is notified, the effect mode of the navigation effect is different. With such a configuration, even when notifying a common stop operation order, whether one piece is awarded or one of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C is awarded depending on the difference in the production mode of the navigation effect. , Will be easier to understand.

Further, in this embodiment, the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination A is won when the left specific small winning combination is won and the stop operation order in which the main small winning combination is won when the middle and left bells are won are common. It includes the stop operation order (stop operation order of middle left and right), the stop operation order to win the specific small role B when the middle specific small role is won, and the main small role when the right and left middle bells are won. The stop operation order to be made includes a common stop operation order (stop operation order in the right and left), and the stop operation order in which the specific small winning combination C is won when the right specific small winning combination is won and the left middle right bell. Includes a common stop operation order (left middle right stop operation order) and a stop operation order in which the main and small wins are won when is won.

Then, when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section, the navigation effect for notifying the stop operation order for winning any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is executed, which is advantageous. When the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the section, the specific small winning combination is elected and any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is notified. This is a configuration in which the navigation effect having the same effect mode is executed in the case of executing the navigation effect to be performed. With such a configuration, in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed, the navigation is performed even if the specific small winning combination is won. Even if a small role is won, the navigation effect can be executed without any discomfort.

It should be noted that, in the CZ state and the AT state of the advantageous section, when the navigation effect for notifying the common stop operation order is executed, even if the specific small winning combination is won, the navigation small winning combination is won. However, it may be configured to execute a navigation effect having a similar effect mode, and even with such a configuration, a navigation effect that notifies a common stop operation order in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section is provided. When executing, the navigation effect can be executed without any discomfort regardless of whether the specific small role is won or the navigation small role is won.

In this embodiment, the navigation number notified by the navigation notification when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state and the AT state in the advantageous section is the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded. It is the same as the navigation number at the time of winning the navigation small role that the main small role wins. With such a configuration, a navigation number for winning any of the specific small roles A, B, and C is not required when the specific small role is won, in addition to the navigation number used when the navigation small role is won. Therefore, the amount of data required for navigation notification can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the navigation notification is performed, a navigation command capable of specifying the navigation number notified by the navigation notification is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and the CZ state and AT in the advantageous section are transmitted. The navigation command (command that can specify the navigation number indicating the stop operation order) sent when the specific small winning combination is won in the state is mainly in the stop operation order in which any of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C is awarded. Navi that wins a small role This is the same as the navigation command sent when a small role is won. With such a configuration, a navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to the specific small role is not required separately from the navigation command that can specify the navigation number corresponding to the specific small role. The amount of data to send can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the total number of instructed payouts after the gaming machine is shipped and the total number of instructed payouts between the past 6000 games are won by a specific small winning combination in the normal state and the precursory state in the advantageous section. When a navigation notification is performed to notify the stop operation order for winning a prize, a stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, one prize is won, and one medal is awarded. , When a stop operation is performed in a stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification and one medal is awarded and one medal is awarded (control of the fifth form), the navigation notification is notified. It is added in any case where the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order and any of the specific small winning combinations A, B, and C wins and 15 medals are awarded.

In addition, the total number of instructed payouts since the game machine was shipped and the total number of instructed payouts between the past 6000 games are won by the navigation small role in the CZ state and AT state in the advantageous section, and the main small role is selected. When the navigation notification is performed to notify the stop operation order to be awarded, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and the main and small roles are awarded and 15 medals are awarded. It is added in any case where the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, the sub-small winning combination wins, and one medal is awarded.

Then, the total number of instructed payouts after the gaming machine is shipped and the total number of instructed payouts between the past 6000 games are determined by the specific small winning combination in the normal state and the precursory state of the advantageous section, and the specific small winning combination A. When a navigation notification is performed to notify the stop operation order for winning any of, B, C, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and the specific small winning combination A, B, C If any one wins and 15 medals are awarded, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and one of the specific small winning combination A, B, or C wins. When 15 medals are given, the stop operation is performed in the stop operation order other than the stop operation order notified by the navigation notification, and one wins and one medal is given. It is a configuration that is also added in the case of.

With such a configuration, in the game in which the navigation notification is performed, not only when the stop operation is performed in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification, but also the operation different from the operation mode notified by the navigation notification is performed. Even if the game is operated in the mode, the number of medals given is counted as the total number of instructed payouts. The ratio can be preferably calculated.

(1) A variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each is provided.
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after variable display of the variable display unit and a prize can be generated according to the display result.
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result, and
Predetermining means for determining the display result that allows derivation (for example, an internal lottery by the main control unit 41),
A derivation control means (for example, reel control by the main control unit 41) that controls to derive the display result, and
A notification means for notifying the operation mode of the derivation operation means (for example, a process for executing a navigation effect by the sub control unit 91) and
A background control means for displaying a background image (for example, background control by a sub-control unit 91) and
It is provided with a suggestion control means (for example, suggestion control by a sub-control unit 91) that performs suggestion control suggesting that it is advantageous.
The determination result of the predetermining means is the first that allows the derivation of the first specific display result (for example, the symbol combination of the main and small winning combinations) accompanied by the granting of the first amount of game value (for example, 15 medals). A second specific display result (for example, one symbol) accompanied by a specific decision result (for example, winning a small winning combination of navigation) and a second amount of gaming value (for example, one medal) smaller than the first amount. Including the second specific decision result (for example, specific small winning combination winning) that allows the derivation of the combination)
The derivation control means
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result and the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode notified by the notification means (for example, an operation mode for deriving a main / small combination). , Derived the first specific display result,
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result and the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode notified by the notification means (for example, the operation mode of deriving one sheet). Derived the second specific display result,
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result and the notification means notifies the operation mode of the derivation operation means (for example, at the time of 15-sheet navigation), the background control means is used. A plurality of selection ratios are different from those when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result and the operation mode of the derivation operation means is notified by the notification means (for example, at the time of one-sheet navigation). One of the above types of background control is performed (see, for example, the navigation background control shown in FIG. 11).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control unit 91 has a different selection ratio between when the navigation small winning combination is won by the internal lottery and when the specific small winning combination is won by the internal lottery, and the first background. Either control or second background control is performed. As a result, the notification of the operation mode can be appropriately appealed to the player by the background control performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(2) The suggestion control means performs the suggestion control in response to the background control performed by the background control means (see, for example, the execution ratio of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, the sub-control unit 91 performs suggestion control in response to background control. As a result, suggestion control can be appropriately performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(2A) When the background control (for example, the second background control) having a high selection ratio when the determination result of the predetermined determination means is the second specific determination result is performed, the predetermined determination means The suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the background control (for example, the first background control) having a high selection rate when the determination result is the first specific decision result is performed (for example, FIG. 12). See the execution rate of suggestion control shown in (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the sub control unit 91 performs the first background control at a higher rate than the second background control, and is in the normal state. Alternatively, when the specific small winning combination is won in the precursory state, the second background control is performed at a higher rate than the first background control. Further, as shown in FIG. 12A, the sub-control unit 91 is in the CZ state or when the second background control having a high selection ratio when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state is performed. In the AT state, the suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the first background control, which has a high selection rate when the navigation small winning combination is won, is performed. As a result, when the 15-card navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the one-sheet navigation is executed when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. Since the execution rate of the suggestion control is low, it does not prevent the player from winning the main and small roles for paying out 15 cards as much as possible. Also, if one navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state, it is more suggestive than when 15-sheet navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Since the control execution rate is high, the player's expectation can be increased even in a situation where the number of medals paid out is small as in the case of one-card navigation.

(2B) The suggestion control (for example, the first suggestion) corresponds to the background control (for example, the first background control) having a high selection ratio when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result. The timing at which the rate of performing the control) is high corresponds to the background control (for example, the second background control) having a high selection rate when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result. It is different from the timing when the rate at which the suggestion control (for example, the second suggestion control) is performed is high.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ratio at which the first suggestion control is performed corresponding to the first background control, which has a high selection ratio when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, is The high timing is different from the timing in which the ratio of the second suggestion control being performed corresponding to the second background control, which has a high selection ratio when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, is high. As a result, in the game in which the specific small role was won in the normal state or the precursor state, the player was able to appropriately recognize that the one-card navigation was executed, and the stop switch could be operated according to the navigation image. Can be recognized by the player.

(3) The plurality of types of the background control include a specific background control (for example, a first background control) that can be executed only when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can perform the first background control when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. , It may not be possible to perform the first background control when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. For example, the sub-control unit 91 may perform the second background control without performing the first background control when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. That is, the sub-control unit 91 may perform the first background control only when the navigation small winning combination is won. As a result, when the first background control is performed, it is possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the 15-sheet navigation was performed when the navigation small winning combination was won.

(3A) The specific background control includes a control of switching the background image according to the operation of the player.

Specifically, in the game in which the first background control is performed, the navigation background image is switched each time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player. This makes it possible for the player to recognize that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been reliably operated according to the notified procedure.

(3B) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a predetermined determination result (for example, watermelon winning) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means.
The specific background control (for example, the first background control) can be executed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the predetermined determination result.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, the sub-control unit 91 can perform the first background control when the watermelon wins and executes the special navigation. As a result, even if a watermelon that is not the target of navigation is won, the first background control is performed, so that the unexpectedness can be enhanced and the interest of the game can be improved.

(4) The plurality of types of the background control include a first background control and a second background control for displaying an image with more motion than the first background control.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result, the background control means performs the first background control at a higher rate than the second background control.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control at a higher rate than the second background control when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state. As a result, when 15-sheet navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state, the navigation background image is switched each time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated stepwise by the player. By performing the first background control, it is possible to make the player recognize that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been reliably operated according to the notified procedure.

(4A) In the first background control, the display of the background image starts according to the operation of the player.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, in the game in which the first background control is performed, when the start switch 7 is operated by the player in the state where the background image before the start of the game is displayed, the previous time. The navigation background image is displayed instead of the background image in the game. As a result, it is possible to inform the player that the start switch 7 has been operated in an easy-to-understand manner.

(4B) In the first background control, an image with movement is displayed in the background image for a predetermined period, and then an image without movement is displayed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, in the game in which the first background control is performed, an image of a character with movement is displayed once when one stop switch is operated, but after that, nothing happens. If it is not operated, the movement of the character is stopped and displayed as a still image, and when another stop switch is operated, the image of the character with movement is displayed again, and so on. As a result, the next operation is performed triggered by the operation of the stop switch by the player, so that the production screen in the navigation effect can be shown at a minimum.

(5) The plurality of types of the background control include a first background control for switching the background image according to the operation of the player and a second background control for not switching the background image according to the operation of the player.
In the background control means, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result and the notification means notifies the operation mode of the derivation operation means, and the determination result of the advance determination means. Is the result of the second specific determination, and one of the first background control and the second background control is performed at a selection ratio different from that when the notification means notifies the operation mode of the derivation operation means. (For example, refer to the navigation background control shown in FIG. 11).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control unit 91 wins a navigation small role by an internal lottery and executes a 15-sheet navigation, and a specific small role is won by an internal lottery and one-sheet navigation. Either the first background control or the second background control is performed with a selection ratio different from that when the above is executed. As a result, the notification of the operation mode can be appropriately appealed to the player by the background control performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(6) The suggestion control means is
When the first background control is performed, the first suggestion control corresponding to the first background control is performed.
When the second background control is performed, the second suggestion control corresponding to the second background control is performed (see, for example, the execution ratio of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control in the game that executes the navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control corresponding to the first background control. , When the second background control is performed in the game for executing the navigation effect, the second suggestion control is performed corresponding to the second background control. As a result, suggestion control can be appropriately performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(6A) When the second background control is performed, the suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the first background control is performed (for example, the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A). See execution rate).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control in which the selection ratio is high when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub-control unit 91 is performed. In the CZ state or the AT state, the suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the first background control is performed, in which the selection rate is high when the navigation small winning combination is won. As a result, when the 15-card navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the one-sheet navigation is executed when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. Since the execution rate of the suggestion control is low, it does not prevent the player from winning the main and small roles for paying out 15 cards as much as possible. Also, if one navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state, it is more suggestive than when 15-sheet navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Since the control execution rate is high, the player's expectation can be increased even in a situation where the number of medals paid out is small as in the case of one-card navigation.

(6B) The timing at which the suggestion control (for example, the first suggestion control) is performed in response to the first background control is high, the suggestion control (for example, the second suggestion) corresponds to the second background control. It is different from the timing when the ratio of control) is high.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ratio at which the first suggestion control is performed corresponding to the first background control, which has a high selection ratio when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, is The high timing is different from the timing in which the ratio of the second suggestion control being performed corresponding to the second background control, which has a high selection ratio when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, is high. As a result, in the game in which the specific small role was won in the normal state or the precursor state, the player was able to appropriately recognize that the one-card navigation was executed, and the stop switch could be operated according to the navigation image. Can be recognized by the player.

(7) In the first background control, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the notification means, the derivation operation means is in the operation mode notified by the notification means. Controls different from those when is operated (for example, control that "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear) are performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 21 (b) to (e) and FIGS. 22 (b) to (e), in the first background control, the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image. When, 8R is operated, "GOOD!" Is displayed and the rest of the navigation image is continuously displayed, and the background image is switched according to the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, whereas the navigation image is displayed. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by, "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear, and then the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. The background image does not switch according to. This makes it possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the stop switch could not be operated according to the navigation image.

(7A) In the first background control, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the notification means, the background image corresponds to the subsequent operation of the derivation operation means. Does not switch.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 22 (b) to 22 (e), in the first background control, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R were operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the navigation image. Occasionally, "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear, and the background image is not switched according to the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. This makes it possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the stop switch could not be operated according to the navigation image.

In the present embodiment, in the game in which the navigation effect is executed, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image as shown in FIGS. 21 and 23, "GOOD" is used. ! ”Is displayed and the rest of the navigation images are still displayed, whereas the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R were not operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation images as shown in FIGS. 22 and 24. Occasionally, "MISS!" Was displayed, the rest of the navigation image disappeared, and the failure sound was output from the speakers 8L and 8R, but the difference in control is not limited to this. For example, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are not operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image, the image of "MISS!" Is not displayed, the failure sound is not output, and the remaining navigation image is simply left. Controls such as disappearance may be performed. For example, in FIGS. 22 (c) and 24 (c), the image of "MISS!" May not be displayed and the failure sound may not be output. In this way, the sub-control unit 91 has special features such as a special image display and sound output when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image in the game in which the navigation effect is executed. On the other hand, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are not operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image in the game in which the navigation effect is executed, such special control is not performed. There may be.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the game in which the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image. When is operated, "NICE!" Is displayed to notify that the stop operation order is correct, but the control is not limited to this. For example, in a game in which a specific small winning combination is won in a normal state or a precursory state, "NICE!" Is not displayed even when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image, and the stop operation is performed. Nothing may be done about the effect of notifying that the order is correct. As described above, the sub-control unit 91 is specially controlled when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image in the game in which the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. May not be performed.

(8) In the game in which the specific background image is displayed, the background control means has the determination result of the prior determination means as the first specific determination result and the operation mode of the derivation operation means by the notification means. The second background in both the case of being notified and the time when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result and the operation mode of the derivation operation means is notified by the notification means. Take control.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, the sub-control unit 91 specifies when the navigation small winning combination is won and 15-sheet navigation is executed in the game in which the specific background image is displayed. In both cases when the small winning combination is won and the 1-sheet navigation or the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the second background control is performed with a 100% probability as the navigation background control. As a result, the visibility of the specific image is not hindered by the background image for navigation, and the content suggested by the specific image can be easily recognized by the player.

(8A) The specific background image includes an image that notifies the start or end of a specific state (for example, AT).

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect in a game in which an AT start image indicating the start of AT or an AT end image indicating the end of AT is displayed. In this case, the second background control is performed with a 100% probability. This does not hinder the visibility of the image that notifies the start or end of the AT by the background image for navigation, and makes it easier for the player to recognize the start or end of the AT.

(8B) The specific background image includes an image for notifying a specific grant (for example, addition of a game in AT).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 31, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect in the game in which the AT addition image showing the addition of the game in the AT is displayed, there is a 100% probability that the second background is the second background. Take control. As a result, the visibility of the image for notifying the addition of the AT is not impaired by the background image for navigation, and it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the addition of the AT.

(9) The plurality of types of the background control include a first background control for switching the background image according to the operation of the player and a second background control for not switching the background image according to the operation of the player.
The background control means performs either the first background control or the second background control at different selection ratios in the normal state and in the specific state (for example, shown in FIG. 11). See navigation background control).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, when the specific small winning combination is won and the one-sheet navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub-control unit 91 is second at a higher rate than the first background control. When the background control is performed and the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state and the 15-sheet navigation is executed, the first background control is performed at a higher rate than the second background control. As a result, the notification of the operation mode can be appropriately appealed to the player by the background control performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(10) The suggestion control means is
When the first background control is performed, the first suggestion control corresponding to the first background control is performed.
When the second background control is performed, the second suggestion control corresponding to the second background control is performed (see, for example, the execution ratio of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the first background control in the game for executing the navigation effect, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first suggestion control corresponding to the first background control. , When the second background control is performed in the game for executing the navigation effect, the second suggestion control is performed corresponding to the second background control. As a result, suggestion control can be appropriately performed according to the importance of the navigation effect.

(10A) When the second background control is performed, the suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the first background control is performed (for example, the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A). See execution rate).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the second background control in which the selection ratio is high when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the sub-control unit 91 is performed. In the CZ state or the AT state, the suggestion control is performed at a higher rate than when the first background control is performed, in which the selection rate is high when the navigation small winning combination is won. As a result, when the 15-card navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, the one-sheet navigation is executed when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state. Since the execution rate of the suggestion control is low, it does not prevent the player from winning the main and small roles for paying out 15 cards as much as possible. Also, if one navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or precursor state, it is more suggestive than when 15-sheet navigation is executed when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or AT state. Since the control execution rate is high, the player's expectation can be increased even in a situation where the number of medals paid out is small as in the case of one-card navigation.

(10B) The timing at which the suggestion control (for example, the first suggestion control) is performed in response to the first background control is high, the suggestion control (for example, the second suggestion) corresponds to the second background control. It is different from the timing when the ratio of control) is high.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ratio at which the first suggestion control is performed corresponding to the first background control, which has a high selection ratio when the navigation small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state, is The high timing is different from the timing in which the ratio of the second suggestion control being performed corresponding to the second background control, which has a high selection ratio when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, is high. As a result, in the game in which the specific small role was won in the normal state or the precursor state, the player was able to appropriately recognize that the one-card navigation was executed, and the stop switch could be operated according to the navigation image. Can be recognized by the player.

(11) In the first background control, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the notification means, the derivation operation means is in the operation mode notified by the notification means. Controls different from those when is operated (for example, control that "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear) are performed.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 21 (b) to (e) and FIGS. 22 (b) to (e), in the first background control, the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated in the operation mode notified by the navigation image. When, 8R is operated, "GOOD!" Is displayed and the rest of the navigation image is continuously displayed, and the background image is switched according to the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, whereas the navigation image is displayed. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by, "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear, and then the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. The background image does not switch according to. This makes it possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the stop switch could not be operated according to the navigation image.

(11A) In the first background control, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the notification means, the background image corresponds to the subsequent operation of the derivation operation means. Does not switch.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 22 (b) to 22 (e), in the first background control, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R were operated in an operation mode different from the operation mode notified by the navigation image. Occasionally, "MISS!" Is displayed and the remaining navigation images disappear, and the background image is not switched according to the subsequent operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. This makes it possible to appropriately appeal to the player that the stop switch could not be operated according to the navigation image.

(12) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a first specific determination result (for example, a navigation small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means in a normal state, and the notification in a normal state. Including a second specific determination result (for example, a specific small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the means.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result, the notification means has a game start timing (for example, for example) according to an operation of the start operation means (for example, the start switch 7) for starting the game. (At the time of operation of the start switch 7), an operation mode image (for example, a navigation image) showing the operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the second specific determination result is displayed.
The suggestion control includes a game start suggestion control started at the game start timing and an in-game suggestion control started at a game in-game timing (for example, during reel rotation) after the game start timing.
The rate at which the game start suggestion control is performed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result is the ratio when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result. It is lower than the rate at which the game start suggestion control is performed (see, for example, the execution timing of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12B).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the rate at which the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state is navigating in the CZ state or the AT state. It is lower than the ratio at which the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated when the small winning combination is won. As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-sheet navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated, so that the one-sheet navigation is executed. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult for a person to recognize as much as possible.

(13) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a first specific determination result (for example, a navigation small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means in a normal state, and the notification in a normal state. Including a second specific determination result (for example, a specific small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the means.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result, the notification means is an operation mode image (for example, a navigation) showing an operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the second specific determination result. Image) is displayed,
The suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the display result (for example, when the start switch 7 is operated or during reel rotation) before the derivation suggestion control, and after the display result is derived (for example, after the third stop operation). Including post-derivative suggestion control initiated
The ratio at which the pre-derivation suggestion control is performed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result is the ratio when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result. It is lower than the rate at which the pre-derivative suggestion control is performed (see, for example, the execution timing of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12 (b)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ratio at which the suggestion control is performed at the timing before derivation when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state is the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state. Is lower than the rate at which suggestion control is performed at the timing before derivation when is elected. As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-card navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the symbol combination, so that the player switches the stop switch according to the one-card navigation. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult to operate as much as possible.

(14) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a first specific determination result (for example, a navigation small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means in a normal state, and the notification in a normal state. Including a second specific determination result (for example, a specific small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the means.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result, the notification means is an operation mode image (for example, a navigation) showing an operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the second specific determination result. Image) is displayed,
The suggestion control includes a background superimposition suggestion control (for example, a first background control) for displaying a suggestion image superimposed on the background image, and a background switching suggestion control (for example, a second background control) for switching the background image to a suggestion background image. Background control), including
The ratio at which the background superimposition suggestion control is performed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result is the ratio when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result. It is lower than the ratio at which the background superimposition suggestion control is performed (see, for example, the execution ratio of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12 (a)).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, the ratio at which the first suggestion control for superimposing the suggestion image on the background image is performed is the normal state. Or, it is lower than the rate at which the first suggestion control is performed when the navigation small role is won in the precursory state. As a result, when the single navigation is executed in the normal state or the precursory state, the player can confirm that the single navigation is executed by minimizing the display of the suggestion image superimposed on the background image. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult to recognize as much as possible.

(12A, 13A, 14A) The notification means displays any one of a plurality of types of the operation mode images for the same operation mode.

Specifically, the mode of the navigation image differs depending on the result of the lottery related to the AT state such as the AT lottery and the additional lottery. As a result, the result of the lottery related to the AT state can be suggested depending on the type of the navigation image displayed at the time of the navigation effect, so that the player's attention can be attracted to the navigation image.

(12B, 13B, 14B) The notification means is
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result in the normal state, the operation mode image showing the operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the first specific determination result is not displayed.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result in the specific state, an operation mode image showing the operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the first specific determination result is displayed.

Specifically, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are not executed when the navigation small combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state, and the navigation notification and the navigation effect are executed when the navigation small combination is won in the CZ or AT. As a result, in the CZ or AT, it is possible to make it easier to win the main small role when the navigation small role is won than in the normal state or the precursor state, so that the advantage of the player in the CZ or AT is increased. Can be done.

(15) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a first specific determination result (for example, a navigation small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means in a normal state, and the notification in a normal state. Including a second specific determination result (for example, a specific small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the means.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result, the notification means has a game start timing (for example, for example) according to an operation of the start operation means (for example, the start switch 7) for starting the game. (At the time of operation of the start switch 7), an operation mode image (for example, a navigation image) showing the operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the second specific determination result is displayed.
There are a normal state and a specific state (for example, a CZ state or an AT state) in which the ratio of displaying the operation mode image is higher than that of the normal state.
The suggestion control includes a game start suggestion control started at the game start timing and an in-game suggestion control started at a game in-game timing (for example, during reel rotation) after the game start timing.
The ratio at which the game start suggestion control is performed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result in the normal state is such that the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result in the specific state. It is lower than the rate at which the game start suggestion control is performed when the specific decision result is obtained (see, for example, the execution rate of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, the rate at which the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state is navigating in the CZ state or the AT state. It is lower than the ratio at which the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated when the small winning combination is won. As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-sheet navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated, so that the one-sheet navigation is executed. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult for a person to recognize as much as possible.

(16) The determination result of the prior determination means includes a first specific determination result (for example, a navigation small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means is not notified by the notification means in a normal state, and the notification in a normal state. Including a second specific determination result (for example, a specific small winning combination) in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the means.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result, the notification means has a game start timing (for example, for example) according to an operation of the start operation means (for example, the start switch 7) for starting the game. (At the time of operation of the start switch 7), an operation mode image (for example, a navigation image) showing the operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponding to the second specific determination result is displayed.
There are a normal state and a specific state (for example, a CZ state or an AT state) in which the ratio of displaying the operation mode image is higher than that of the normal state.
The suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the display result (for example, when the start switch 7 is operated or during reel rotation) before the derivation suggestion control, and after the display result is derived (for example, after the third stop operation). Including post-derivative suggestion control initiated
The ratio at which the post-derivation suggestion control is performed when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result in the normal state is such that the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result in the specific state. It is higher than the rate at which the suggestion control is performed after the derivation when it is a specific decision result (see, for example, the execution timing of the suggestion control shown in FIG. 12B).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, the ratio at which the suggestion control is performed at the timing after derivation when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursory state is determined by the navigation small winning combination in the CZ state or the AT state. It is higher than the rate at which suggestion control is performed at the timing after derivation when winning. As a result, when the specific small winning combination is won in the normal state or the precursor state and the one-card navigation is executed, the suggestion control is performed before the derivation of the symbol combination, so that the player switches the stop switch according to the one-card navigation. It is possible to avoid becoming difficult to operate as much as possible.

(15A, 16A) The notification means displays one of a plurality of types of the operation mode images for the same operation mode.

Specifically, the mode of the navigation image differs depending on the result of the lottery related to the AT state such as the AT lottery and the additional lottery. As a result, the result of the lottery related to the AT state can be suggested depending on the type of the navigation image displayed at the time of the navigation effect, so that the player's attention can be attracted to the navigation image.

(15B, 16B) When the operation mode of the derivation operation means is notified when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result in the specific state, and when the predetermination is performed in the specific state. The execution ratios of the game start suggestion control and the post-derivation suggestion control differ depending on whether the operation mode of the derivation operation means is notified when the determination result of the means is the first specific determination result.

Specifically, when the specific small winning combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state, and when the navigation small combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. Therefore, the execution rate at which the suggestion control is performed when the start switch 7 is operated may be different. Further, it is derived when the specific small winning combination is won in the CZ state or the AT state and the 15-sheet navigation is executed, and when the navigation small combination is won and the 15-sheet navigation is executed in the CZ state or the AT state. The execution rate at which the suggestion control is performed at a later timing may be different. As a result, in the CZ state or the AT state, the timing at which the suggestion control is performed changes according to the winning combination, so that the effect of the effect can be suitably enhanced.

(17) An update means for updating a specific numerical value (for example, the number of normal games to be digested) according to the progress of the game (for example, a process for updating the number of normal games by the main control unit 41, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games).
A privilege granting means (for example, a transition to a precursor state) that grants a privilege (for example, a transition to a precursor state) when the specific numerical value updated by the updating means reaches a specified numerical value (for example, the number of normal games determined by a normal game number lottery). For example, the process of controlling the precursor state by the main control unit 41) and
A setting means for setting any of the plurality of types of the specified numerical values (for example, a lottery for the number of normal games by the main control unit 41) and
A specific effect executing means (for example, a process of executing a precursor effect by the sub control unit 91) for executing a specific effect (for example, a precursor effect in the precursor effect mode) is provided.
There is a normal update state (for example, a normal zone) and a specific update state (for example, a special zone) in which the update width of the specific numerical value is larger than that of the normal update state.
When the difference between the specific numerical value and the specified numerical value is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), the specific effect executing means is specified at a higher rate than when the difference is larger than the predetermined value. The production is feasible,
As a result of the end of the specific update state, the ratio at which the specific effect is executed when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio B1 shown in FIG. 32) is the game in the normal update state. As a result of the progress, the specific effect is executed when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio A1 shown in FIG. 32).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, when the number of normal games remaining up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, becomes less than 100 as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the special zone, the precursor effect mode. As a result of gradually updating the number of normal games in the normal zone as a result of shifting to B1, the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode when the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, is less than 100 games. When A1 is set, since B1 is larger than A1, the ratio of the specialized zone to the true precursor effect mode is higher than that of the normal zone. As a result, the player who has advanced the game in the special zone can expect to shift to the precursory effect mode after the special zone ends, and even after the special zone ends, the game can be played. Can sustain the hobby of.

(18) An update means for updating a specific numerical value (for example, the number of normal games to be digested) according to the progress of the game (for example, a process for updating the number of normal games by the main control unit 41, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games).
A privilege granting means (for example, a transition to a precursor state) that grants a privilege (for example, a transition to a precursor state) when the specific numerical value updated by the updating means reaches a specified numerical value (for example, the number of normal games determined by a normal game number lottery). For example, the process of controlling the precursor state by the main control unit 41) and
A setting means for setting any of the plurality of types of the specified numerical values (for example, a lottery for the number of normal games by the main control unit 41) and
A specific effect executing means (for example, a process of executing a precursor effect by the sub control unit 91) for executing a specific effect (for example, a precursor effect in the precursor effect mode) is provided.
There is a normal update state (for example, a normal zone) and a specific update state (for example, a special zone) in which the update width of the specific numerical value is larger than that of the normal update state.
When the difference between the specific numerical value and the specified numerical value is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), the specific effect executing means is specified at a higher rate than when the difference is larger than the predetermined value. The production is feasible,
As a result of the end of the specific update state, the ratio at which the specific effect is executed when the difference is larger than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio B2 shown in FIG. 32) is the game in the normal update state. As a result of the progress, the ratio is higher than the ratio at which the specific effect is executed when the difference is larger than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio A2 shown in FIG. 32).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the specialized zone, the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the breaks, is less than 100 games. When it becomes (that is, when the difference between the number of ceiling games of 300 games and the number of digested normal games is larger than 100 games), the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode is set to B2, and the number of normal games is gradually set in the normal zone. As a result of updating, when the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the breaks, is less than 100 games (that is, the number of ceiling games is 300 games and the number of digested normal games is When the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode is set to B2 (when the difference between the two is larger than 100 games), the specialized zone shifts to the precursory effect mode of Gase rather than the normal zone because B2 is larger than A2. The ratio is high. As a result, the player who has advanced the game in the special zone can expect to shift to the precursory effect mode after the special zone ends, and even after the special zone ends, the game can be played. Can sustain the hobby of.

(19) An update means for updating a specific numerical value (for example, the number of normal games to be digested) according to the progress of a game (for example, a process for updating the number of normal games by the main control unit 41, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games).

(Update of number)
When the difference between the specific numerical value and the specified numerical value is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), the specific effect executing means is specified at a higher rate than when the difference is larger than the predetermined value. The production is feasible,
As a result of updating the specific numerical value by the specific update control, the ratio at which the specific effect is executed when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio B1 shown in FIG. 32) is the above. As a result of updating the specific numerical value by the normal update control, the specific effect is executed when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio A1 shown in FIG. 32).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, when the number of normal games remaining up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, becomes less than 100 as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the special zone, the precursor effect mode. As a result of gradually updating the number of normal games in the normal zone as a result of shifting to B1, the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode when the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is the number of ceiling games, is less than 100 games. When A1 is set, since B1 is larger than A1, the ratio of the specialized zone to the true precursor effect mode is higher than that of the normal zone. As a result, the player who has advanced the game in the special zone can expect to shift to the precursory effect mode after the special zone ends, and even after the special zone ends, the game can be played. Can sustain the hobby of.

(20) An update means for updating a specific numerical value (for example, the number of normal games to be digested) according to the progress of the game (for example, a process for updating the number of normal games by the main control unit 41, a lottery for shortening the number of normal games).
A privilege granting means (for example, a transition to a precursor state) that grants a privilege (for example, a transition to a precursor state) when the specific numerical value updated by the updating means reaches a specified numerical value (for example, the number of normal games determined by a normal game number lottery). For example, the process of controlling the precursor state by the main control unit 41) and
A setting means for setting any of the plurality of types of the specified numerical values (for example, a lottery for the number of normal games by the main control unit 41) and
A specific effect executing means (for example, a process of executing a precursor effect by the sub control unit 91) for executing a specific effect (for example, a precursor effect in the precursor effect mode) is provided.
Normal update control (for example, updating the number of normal games in the normal zone) and specific update control (for example, normal game in the specialized zone) that updates the specific numerical value in excess of a specific amount according to the progress of the game. (Update of number)
When the difference between the specific numerical value and the specified numerical value is smaller than a predetermined value (for example, 100 games), the specific effect executing means is specified at a higher rate than when the difference is larger than the predetermined value. The production is feasible,
As a result of updating the specific numerical value by the specific update control, the ratio at which the specific effect is executed when the difference is larger than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio B2 shown in FIG. 32) is the above. As a result of updating the specific numerical value by the normal update control, the specific effect is executed when the difference is larger than the predetermined value (for example, the precursor effect mode transition ratio A2 shown in FIG. 32).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, as a result of greatly updating the number of normal games in the specialized zone, the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the breaks, is less than 100 games. When it becomes (that is, when the difference between the number of ceiling games of 300 games and the number of digested normal games is larger than 100 games), the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode is set to B2, and the number of normal games is gradually set in the normal zone. As a result of updating, when the number of remaining normal games up to 200 games, which is not the number of ceiling games but is one of the breaks, is less than 100 games (that is, the number of ceiling games is 300 games and the number of digested normal games is When the ratio of shifting to the precursory effect mode is set to B2 (when the difference between the two is larger than 100 games), the specialized zone shifts to the precursory effect mode of Gase rather than the normal zone because B2 is larger than A2. The ratio is high. As a result, the player who has advanced the game in the special zone can expect to shift to the precursory effect mode after the special zone ends, and even after the special zone ends, the game can be played. Can sustain the hobby of.

(17A, 18A, 19A, 20A) The specific effect is executed by being controlled to a specific effect state (for example, a precursor effect mode) after the end of the specific update state.

Specifically, since the precursor effect is executed by shifting to the precursor effect mode after the end of the special zone, the interest of the game can be maintained even after the end of the special zone.

(17B, 18B, 19B, 20B) The specific effect is executed by performing a notice effect that can be executed for each game in a specific mode.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), in the precursor effect mode, a navigation effect in which the mode of the navigation image is a specific mode is executed as the precursor effect. As a result, it is possible to suggest to the player that the mode has been changed to the precursory effect mode, and to notify the player that the ceiling of the number of normal state games will be reached soon. Can sustain the interest of.

The precursor effect is not limited to the mode of the navigation image as shown in FIG. 33 (b), and the navigation image is larger than the state other than the precursor effect mode, or the color of the navigation image is a state other than the precursor effect mode. May change to a different color. Further, the precursor effect is not limited to the navigation image, and may display an image of an object (character, tool, etc.) that is not displayed in a state other than the precursor effect mode.

(17C, 18C, 19C, 20C) The specific effect is when the player is advantageous (for example, when controlling to mode C, when winning in the AT lottery, when winning in the additional lottery). ) Is also executed.

Specifically, in the normal state, in the case of mode C, the precursory effect is executed at a higher rate than in the case of mode A or mode B, and in the precursory state or CZ state, the AT lottery is won. In addition, the precursory effect is executed at a higher rate than when the AT lottery is not won, and in the AT state, when the additional lottery is won, the precursory effect is higher than when the additional lottery is not won. The production is executed. This makes it possible to draw the player's attention to the precursory effect.

(17D, 18D, 19D, 20D) There is a normal section in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means cannot be notified by the notification means, and an advantageous section in which the operation mode of the derivation operation means can be notified by the notification means.
The specified numerical value is determined in connection with the transition to the advantageous section (for example, as shown in FIG. 9, a mode lottery and a normal game number lottery are executed when transitioning from the normal section to the advantageous section). ,
An effect suggesting the determined specified numerical value (for example, a background effect suggesting modes A to C) is executed.

Specifically, the background image (background effect) during the game changes depending on which of modes A to C is determined by the mode lottery. As a result, it is possible to make the player predict which mode is determined by using the background image (background effect) in the normal state as a clue, and it is possible to make the player predict the determined number of normal games. Then, the player can pay attention to the background image (background effect) in the normal state.

(17E, 18E, 19E, 20E) The maximum value that can be updated by the updating means (for example, the maximum value that can be updated by the normal game number shortening lottery) is the maximum value that can be set by the setting means (for example, the number of normal games). It is larger than the maximum number of normal games determined by lottery).

Specifically, the maximum number of normal games determined by the normal game number lottery is 300 games in the case of mode C, whereas the maximum value that can be updated by the normal game number shortening lottery is the number of normal games. It is 400 games in the case of a shortened lottery (extra large), and its value is large. As a result, especially in the case of a specialized zone, the player can be expected to reach the ceiling of the normal number of games at once.

In the above-described embodiment, one-card navigation is executed when a specific small winning combination is won in the normal state, and by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the one-card navigation, the normal number of games is shortened by lottery. The number of normal games can be shortened, which is advantageous for the player. In place of or in addition to such a technique, even if the one-card combination wins at the same time as the BB in the normal state or the precursory state in the inside where the winning of the BB is carried over. good. Furthermore, in the game in which this one-card combination is won, the one-card combination wins or the one-card combination is missed depending on the operation mode (stop operation order, operation timing) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. May be good. Then, while it is possible to win the BB by missing the winning of the one-card combination, it may be possible to avoid the winning of the BB by winning the winning of the one-card combination. When such a single-card combination is won in the normal state, the single-card navigation is executed in the same manner as the above-mentioned specific small combination, and the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the single-card navigation to BB. It may be advantageous by avoiding the winning of the prize. Such a single-card combination may be replaced with a specific small combination in the present embodiment, or even if a single-card combination is won in addition to the specific small combination, background control or the same purpose as the specific small combination is used. Suggestion control may be performed.
