JP5866632B2 - Slot machine - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to, for example, a slot machine. Specifically, a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can each be identified is provided.After the variable display unit is variably displayed, the variable display unit is stopped to display the display result. The present invention relates to a slot machine that can derive and win according to the display result .

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels having a plurality of types of symbols as identification information drawn on the outer periphery, and each reel has a start lever by a player. Rotation is started by operating, and when the player operates a stop button provided corresponding to each reel, the rotation is stopped within a range of a predetermined maximum delay time from the operation timing. . A winning is generated according to the display result derived when the rotation of all reels is stopped.

  The types of winning combinations include small roles, special roles, and replaying roles. Here, in the winning of a small role, the player can obtain a profit that a predetermined number of medals are paid out for each type of small role. In the special role winning, the player can obtain a profit that the next game is shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. In the winning of the re-gamer, it is possible to obtain a profit that the next game can be performed without consuming new medals for setting the bet number.

  In order for winning of each combination to occur, generally, it is a condition that a winning is made by an internal lottery performed in advance (usually when the start lever is operated). In addition, the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination in the internal lottery is aligned with the effective line, and the combination of symbols configuring the winning combination not selected in the internal lottery is not aligned with the effective line. Reel control is performed.

  In such a slot machine, from the end of the bonus until the game is consumed a predetermined number of times, it is advantageous for the player to increase the winning probability of the re-gamer than usual, thereby reducing the amount of decrease in game value. There is one that controls a replay time (RT) in which a game can be performed while suppressing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-101009 A

  However, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the advantageous state is immediately controlled by the end of the bonus, and the advantageous state is continued until the game is consumed a predetermined number of times thereafter. For this reason, after the bonus is over, the game performance after the bonus is monotonous even though the game is controlled in an advantageous state, and the interest of the game cannot be improved.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine capable of improving the game performance after the bonus ends.

Specific examples of means for solving the problems and their effects

(1) Provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
After variably displaying the variable display portion, by suspending the variable display of the variable display portion, a display result is derived, and in a slot machine that can generate a prize according to the display result,
Prior determination means (internal lottery process) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings before the display result is derived;
Derivation operation accepting means (stop switches 8L to 8R) for accepting an operation for deriving the display result;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result according to the determination result of the prior determination means and the operation received by the derivation operation reception means,
The derivation control means includes
The determination result of the pre-determining means includes a specific result (big bonus (1) + falling replay, normal replay + falling replay, etc.) that allows the occurrence of a specific winning (falling replay) among the plurality of types of winnings. When the winning status is reached, control is performed to derive a specific display result (symbol combination of fall replay, “melon-banana-banana”),
When the determination result of the pre-determining means is the first advantageous result (the winning situation of the 9-sheet winning combination (1)) that allows the generation of the advantageous winning (9 winning combinations (1)) among the plurality of types of winnings When the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in the first procedure corresponding to the first advantageous result, the winning display result (the winning nine-piece winning symbol is generated). When the control is performed to derive the combination, see FIG. 5 (a), and the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a procedure different from the first procedure (when 9 combinations are missed), the plurality of Control to derive a special display result (special item, see FIG. 5B) that does not generate any of the types of winnings,
When the determination result of the pre-decision means is the second advantageous result (the winning situation of the 9-sheet winning combination (2)) that allows the occurrence of the advantageous winning (9 winning combination (2)) among the plurality of types of winnings When an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a second procedure that is a procedure corresponding to the second advantageous result and is different from the first procedure (when a 9-piece combination is missed) When a control for deriving a winning display result for generating an acceptable advantageous winning is performed and the operation is accepted by the deriving operation accepting means in a procedure different from the second procedure, the special display result (special outcome, figure 5 (b)) is derived,
After the transition to the first gaming state (preparation mode) when the special gaming state (bonus) advantageous to the player to be transferred due to the occurrence of the special winning among the plurality of types of winnings is completed, the special game Transition to an advantageous gaming state (first advantageous RT and CZ) advantageous for a player different from the state,
The advantageous gaming state includes a second gaming state (first advantageous RT) and a third gaming state (see CZ in FIGS. 6 and 22, infinite RT in the modified example (41)),
Transition to the second gaming state when the special display result is derived in the first gaming state; transition to the third gaming state when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the second gaming state;
The first gaming state and the second gaming state do not shift to the fourth gaming state (ordinary gaming state) that is disadvantageous for the player, and when the third gaming state is the third gaming state, the specific state and the fourth transition to the playing state (see FIG. 6, the main control unit 41, such as processing for updating the value of the gaming state flag) when the display result is derived,
The gaming value given by the occurrence of an advantageous winning is obtained when the determination result of the predetermining means becomes the first advantageous result and the determination result of the predetermining means becomes the second advantageous result. Is the same.

According to such a configuration, after the special gaming state ends, the game state is shifted to an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player via the first gaming state. In the first gaming state, an advantageous winning is generated or a special display result is derived in accordance with an operation procedure when an advantageous winning is permitted, and a transition is made to the second gaming state among the advantageous gaming states. And after the predetermined condition is satisfied in the second gaming state, it is possible to shift to the third gaming state among the advantageous gaming states.

In addition, at least from the first gaming state and the second gaming state, the player is not shifted to the fourth gaming state, which is disadvantageous for the player, and a specific display result is derived from the third gaming state even in the advantageous gaming state. This shifts to the fourth gaming state. That is, after the special gaming state is finished, a special display result is derived in the first gaming state, and a predetermined condition is established in the second gaming state among the advantageous gaming states to be shifted thereafter, and the transition to the third gaming state is made. Otherwise, the game state is not shifted to the fourth game state. Therefore, the first game according to the procedure without causing the player to feel uneasy that the game state may be changed to the fourth game state while the game state is changed to the first game state and the second game state. In addition to being able to give interest such as continuing or ending the state, it is possible to give a player the benefit of shifting to the second gaming state until a predetermined condition is satisfied. Furthermore, even if it is in the advantageous gaming state, it is advantageous when it is in the third gaming state, but it can be shifted to the fourth gaming state when the specific display result is derived. Therefore, in the third game state after the second game condition of the advantageous game state is completed, it is possible to inspire furuncle one tension lasting advantage to the player. As a result, it is possible to improve the game performance after the bonus ends, and to improve the fun of the game.

  The third gaming state described above may be a gaming state advantageous to the player, and may be, for example, the gaming states shown in the following (a) to (c).

  (A) Compared with the second gaming state, the third gaming state is added only with respect to the point that the determination result of the pre-determining means can be a specific result that allows the generation of a specific winning. The same gaming state may be used. For example, the second gaming state has a probability that a specific prize (for example, a re-game prize (general replay) accompanied by a re-game that can be played without using a game value) is allowed. When the gaming state is higher than the four gaming states, the third gaming state can be a specific result in which the determination result of the pre-determining means allows the generation of the specific winning, and the occurrence of the specific winning is the second game. It may be a gaming state that can be allowed with the same probability as when it is in a state (see Modification (1)).

  (B) The third gaming state is likely to be shifted to an advantageous gaming state with a high probability that a winning (e.g. promotion replay) as a trigger for transitioning to a gaming state advantageous to the player (second advantageous RT) is permitted. If the gaming state is more advantageous than the fourth gaming state (CZ in FIG. 6), a specific winning (for example, a re-game winning with a re-game that can be played without using gaming value) (Normal replay, etc.) may be a gaming state with a low probability of being allowed (for example, the same probability as the normal gaming state).

  (C) The third gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the fourth gaming state in terms of a high probability that the above-described specific winning (for example, the above-mentioned re-game winning (normal replay) or the like) is allowed (FIG. 22). CZ), even if the winning state (e.g. promotion replay) that triggers the transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player (second advantageous RT) described above is not permitted or has a low probability of being permitted. Good.

If the third gaming state is the gaming state shown in (a) to (c) above, that is, a gaming state advantageous to the player, the second gaming state and the third gaming state after the above-described first gaming state ends. The effect produced by the transition to the advantageous gaming state including the gaming state, that is, “anxiety that when the advantageous gaming state is shifted to the second gaming state, it may be shifted to the fourth gaming state. The player can be provided with the benefits of being transferred to the second gaming state over the specified number of games without giving the player a sense of feeling, and the second gaming state of the advantageous gaming state has ended. in the third game state after it can inspire tension such may be migrated sustained advantages to furuncle Tsu fourth game state to the player. "such an effect.

  In the second gaming state, when the occurrence of the special prize is allowed, the second gaming state may be terminated and the fifth gaming state (internal RT) may be entered. Thereby, it is possible to preferentially generate a special prize over the game digestion in the second gaming state. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the cycle period as much as possible after the transition to the special gaming state, the transition to the first gaming state, and the transition to the second gaming state again.

  More specifically, when the occurrence of the special prize is permitted, the state shifts to the fifth gaming state (internal RT), and even if the specific display result is derived, the fifth gaming state is not terminated. The game is continued until the special prize is generated, and in any of the first to fourth gaming states, when the generation of the special prize is permitted, the first to fourth gaming states are shifted. The game state may be terminated and the game state may be shifted to the fifth game state. In this case, further, in the first gaming state, the pre-determining means may determine that the generation of the specific prize is allowed only at the same time as the occurrence of the special prize as a result of the decision for one game. Good. As a result, even if the specific display result is derived in the game started in the first gaming state, the occurrence of the special prize is permitted and the game state is shifted to the fifth gaming state. It is possible to prevent the game started when the game state is in the second game state from being shifted to the fourth game state. As a result, when a specific display result is derived in a game started in the first gaming state or the second gaming state, it can be suggested that the occurrence of a special prize is allowed. Interest can be improved.

  In addition, even when the occurrence of the special prize is allowed in the second gaming state, the second gaming state is not terminated, and the prescribed game number is reached when the prescribed game number is consumed in the second gaming state. The second gaming state may be terminated when the special prize is generated before the game is performed (see the modified example (1)). Thus, in the second gaming state, the second gaming state can be continued until the prescribed number of games is consumed, regardless of whether or not the occurrence of the special prize is permitted, and the profit in the second gaming state can be increased. It can be surely acquired. As a result, the degree of advantage in the second gaming state can be further improved.

  More specifically, in any of the first to fourth gaming states, even when the occurrence of the special prize is permitted, the gaming state is not terminated, and when a predetermined termination condition is satisfied or the special winning condition is satisfied. The game state may be terminated when a winning occurs. In this case, in the first gaming state and the second gaming state, the prior determination unit may not allow the occurrence of the specific winning as a determination result for one game. Accordingly, since the specific display result is not derived in the game started when the game state is the first game state or the second game state, the game started from the game started when the game state is the first game state or the second game state is changed to the fourth game. It is possible to prevent transition to a state. As a result, the specific display result in the first gaming state or the second gaming state is not yet transferred to the second gaming state after the end of the special gaming state or the specified number of games has not been consumed in the second gaming state. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that causes the player to feel distrust that the game state has been derived and has been shifted to the fourth gaming state.

  Further, even when the specific display result is derived, when the first gaming state or the second gaming state is established, the transition to the fourth gaming state may not be made (modified example (1) )reference). Thereby, even if the specific display result is derived in the game started when the game state is the first game state or the second game state, it is possible to prevent the transition to the fourth game state.

  In addition, the advantageous winning may be a predetermined award that is accompanied by a game value used for setting the number of bets, and is a single bonus that shifts the next game to an advantageous state for the player. There may be. When the advantageous winning is a prize winning, there is no need to newly provide a transfer winning as a trigger for shifting from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. In addition, when the winning prize is a single bonus, a transition prize is newly provided, so that it is easy to design and change the probability that the transition prize is allowed to occur (see Modification (2)). .

  The slot machine is provided with gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state (main control unit 41, processing for updating the value of the gaming state flag), and the gaming state is shifted by the gaming state control means. May be.

  (2) When a predetermined display result (special game, promotion replay) is derived in the third gaming state, a gaming state (first advantageous RT, second advantageous) advantageous to a player different from the special gaming state (RT) (see FIG. 6A).

  According to such a configuration, when the game state is shifted to the third game state, the game state is not only shifted to the fourth game state, which is disadvantageous to the player, but is again shifted to the advantageous game state according to the display result. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation and to improve the interest of the game.

  (3) The predetermined display result is the special display result (special outcome), and when the special display result is derived in the third gaming state, the state shifts to the second gaming state (FIG. 6A). )reference).

  According to such a configuration, when the special display result is derived, regardless of whether the gaming state is the first gaming state or the third gaming state, the game state is shifted to the second gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, it can be made easier for the player to understand the transition of the gaming state.

(4) In a notification period (AT) in which notification conditions (table used for AT lottery) are set at a predetermined trigger (satisfaction condition established) in the progress of the game, and predetermined information (navigation effect) is notified in accordance with the notification conditions. Control period control means for controlling (AT lottery process, AT management process executed by the sub-control unit 91);
Provided with notification means (navigation effect execution processing executed by the sub-control unit 91) for notifying the predetermined information on the condition that it is the notification period (AT),
A plurality of types of the specific results are provided (when normal replay + fall replay win, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay win)
The derivation control unit is when the determination result of the prior determination unit is one of the plurality of types of specific results, and the derivation operation reception unit is operated by a procedure corresponding to the type of the specific results. When it is accepted, control is performed to derive the specific display result, and when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit in a procedure different from the procedure corresponding to the type of the specific result, the display result different from the specific display result Is controlled (see FIG. 8A),
The notification means is when the determination result of the prior determination means is one of the plurality of types of specific results on the condition that it is the notification period of the period of transition to the third gaming state. To the specific result time information corresponding to the type of the specific result (in the case of the fall replay winning, the navigation effect according to the type of replay that has been won simultaneously)
The notification period control means is more advantageous for the player than when it is in the fourth gaming state (see FIG. 18A) except for the notification period in the period of transition to the third gaming state. The notification condition is set so that (see FIG. 18D).

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermination means becomes one of a plurality of types of specific results in the notification period of the period of transition to the third gaming state, Since the specific result time information corresponding to the type is notified, the operation can be performed in a procedure that does not derive the specific display result. Therefore, when transitioning to the third gaming state, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for being controlled during the notification period. On the other hand, since the notification condition is set so as to be more advantageous to the player than in the fourth gaming state during the period of transition to the third gaming state other than the notification period, The game can be advanced while holding the game, and the fun of the game can be improved.

(5) A notification condition (a table used for AT lottery) is set at a predetermined trigger (satisfaction lots established) in the progress of the game, and a predetermined information (navigation effect) is notified in accordance with the notification conditions (AT). Control period control means for controlling (AT lottery process, AT management process executed by the sub-control unit 91);
Provided with notification means (navigation effect execution processing executed by the sub-control unit 91) for notifying the predetermined information on the condition that it is the notification period (AT),
A plurality of types of the specific results are provided (when normal replay + fall replay win, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay win)
The derivation control unit is when the determination result of the prior determination unit is one of the plurality of types of specific results, and the derivation operation reception unit is operated by a procedure corresponding to the type of the specific results. When it is accepted, control is performed to derive the specific display result, and when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit in a procedure different from the procedure corresponding to the type of the specific result, the display result different from the specific display result Is controlled (see FIG. 8A),
The notification means is when the determination result of the prior determination means is one of the plurality of types of specific results on the condition that it is the notification period of the period of transition to the third gaming state. To the specific result time information corresponding to the type of the specific result (in the case of the fall replay winning, the navigation effect according to the type of replay that has been won simultaneously)
In the third gaming state, the notification period control means is not controlled during the notification period, for a predetermined period (for example, a period during which five games are consumed, a period in which a specific winning combination is won or won a predetermined number of times, a fall replay) A lottery to determine whether or not to newly set the notification condition each time a predetermined number of times (a period for which a predetermined number of times have been won, a period of a predetermined time elapses), and the notification condition is newly set by the lottery Is newly determined (see the CZ and non-AT column of FIG. 17, FIG. 18D, etc.).

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermination means becomes one of a plurality of types of specific results in the notification period of the period of transition to the third gaming state, Since the specific result time information corresponding to the type is notified, it is possible to operate in a procedure that does not derive the end display result. Therefore, when transitioning to the third gaming state, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for being controlled during the notification period. On the other hand, in the third gaming state, lottery is performed each time a predetermined period elapses without being controlled during the notification period, so that a notification condition can be newly set and controlled during the notification period. In addition, the game can be progressed while expecting to be controlled during the notification period, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  The slot machine described above may be a slot machine further provided with a configuration listed below.

  (A) When the determination result of the prior determination means is a specific result, the operation is received by the derivation operation reception means in a procedure (hereinafter also referred to as an advantageous procedure) determined in advance corresponding to the specific result. A display result (hereinafter also referred to as an advantageous display result) that is different from the specific display result that is derived when the operation is accepted is an identification that is derived when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. (I) The game value (medal) obtained by the player is greater than the display result (hereinafter also referred to as the non-advantageous display result), and (ii) the game state is controlled to be advantageous in the game after the game. Or (iii) the degree of advantage for the player is high at least in any point that is not controlled to a disadvantageous gaming state in the game after the game. Una may be a display result (see Modification (12)).

  Furthermore, when the procedure for deriving the advantageous display result at the three points (i) to (iii) is different, the three points (i) to (iii) may be comprehensively determined.

  In other words, the advantage display result is more advantageous for the player than the non-advantageous display result. The game value acquired by the player in the game in which the determination result of the predetermining means is the specific result is less than the advantageous display result. There are more advantageous display results, and even if a loss occurs due to the advantageous display result compared to the non-advantageous display result, the advantageous display result is controlled to the advantageous game state thereafter. As a result, the player acquires a gaming value that is greater than or equal to the loss as compared to the case where the player is not controlled to an advantageous gaming state.

  Further, the advantage display result is more advantageous for the player than the non-advantage display result. The game value acquired by the player in the game in which the determination result of the predetermination means is the specific result is less than the advantage display result. There are more advantageous display results, and even if a loss occurs due to the advantageous display result compared to the non-advantageous display result, it is not controlled to an unfavorable gaming state without becoming a non-advantageous display result. As a result, it is a case where the player acquires a gaming value that is greater than or equal to the loss compared to when the gaming state is controlled to be disadvantageous.

  In addition, the advantage display result is more advantageous to the player than the non-advantageous display result is that the player after the non-advantageous display result is more advantageous than the game state after the advantageous display result. The game value that the player acquires in the game is large even if there is a loss after the advantageous display result as compared to the non-advantageous display result. This is a case where the player obtains a game value in the game that is equal to or more than the loss that will occur after that in comparison with the case where the non-advantageous display result is greater than the non-advantageous display result.

  In addition, when the determination result of the prior determination unit becomes a specific result, the derivation control unit described above is operated by the derivation operation reception unit according to an advantageous procedure that is determined in advance corresponding to the specific result. When the operation is received by the derivation operation accepting unit in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure, the control for deriving the display result may be any control that increases the degree of advantage for the player ( Modification (12)).

  In addition, the derivation control means performs control for deriving an advantageous display result when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in an advantageous procedure, and the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. It is also possible to perform control so that the advantageous display result is not derived at the time.

  In addition, the derivation control means performs control so that the non-advantageous display result is not derived when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in the advantageous procedure, and the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. It is also possible to perform a control for deriving a non-advantageous display result when given.

  Further, the derivation control means derives an advantageous display result when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in an advantageous procedure than when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. You may control so that a ratio may become high.

  In addition, the above derivation control means derives a non-advantageous display result when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in an advantageous procedure than when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. It is also possible to perform control so that the ratio is lower.

More specifically, the following control may be performed.
(A-1) Control is performed to derive a non-advantageous display result when an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, and the operation is accepted when the operation is accepted in the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result. You may perform control which derives | leads-out the advantageous display result to which more game value (medal) is provided (payout) than when the advantageous display result was derived | led-out (refer modification (12)). Thereby, in the game in which the determination result of the pre-decision means is the specific result, the game value that the player acquires when operated by the advantageous procedure is more than when operated by the procedure different from the advantageous procedure. In terms of increase, it can be said that the degree of advantage for the player increases.

    (A-2) When the operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, the non-advantageous display result is controlled, and when the operation is accepted in the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, Control may be performed to derive an advantageous display result that is more advantageous to the player than the state after the non-advantageous display result is derived (see Modification (12)).

  More specifically, for example, in a predetermined gaming state, when an operation is received in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, a non-advantageous display result that does not involve a transition of the gaming state is derived, Control for deriving an advantageous display result accompanied by a transition to a gaming state (for example, RT) more advantageous to the player than the predetermined gaming state when an operation is accepted by an advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result (Refer to Modification (12)). In this case, there is no limitation on the game value that the player acquires when the non-advantageous display result is derived and the game value that the player acquires when the advantageous display result is derived. Thus, apart from the degree of advantage in the game in which the determination result of the predetermining means is the specific result, the game is operated when operated according to the advantageous procedure than when operated according to a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. In the subsequent games, it can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is high in that the game state is controlled to be advantageous.

  Also, for example, in a predetermined gaming state, when an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, a transition to a gaming state (for example, disadvantaged RT) that is more disadvantageous for the player than the predetermined gaming state Control to derive the non-advantageous display result accompanied by the game, and the control to derive the advantageous display result without the transition of the gaming state when the operation is accepted in the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result. (Refer to Modification (12)). In this case, the game value that the player acquires when the non-advantageous display result is derived and the game value that the player acquires when the advantageous display result is derived are not important. Thus, apart from the degree of advantage in the game in which the determination result of the predetermining means is the specific result, the game is operated when operated according to the advantageous procedure than when operated according to a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is high in that it is not controlled to a disadvantageous gaming state in subsequent games.

    (A-3) Control is performed to derive an advantageous display result at a predetermined non-advantage ratio when an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, and the operation is accepted in the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result. When this is done, the control may be performed to derive the advantageous display result at a predetermined advantageous rate higher than the predetermined non-advantageous rate (see Modification (12)). The advantageous display results may be the advantageous display results shown in (A-1) and (A-2). As a result, when the determination result of the pre-decision means becomes a specific result, the player is acquired at a higher rate when operated by the advantageous procedure than when operated by a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. The player has a degree of advantage in at least one of a point where the gaming value is increased, a point that is controlled to an advantageous gaming state in the game after the game, or a point that the gaming state is not controlled to be disadvantageous in the game after the game. It can be said that it becomes higher.

  In addition, when an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, control is performed to derive a winning display result accompanied with a predetermined non-advantageous amount of game value given at a predetermined non-advantageous rate. When the operation is accepted according to the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result, the control is performed to derive the winning display result accompanied with the provision of the predetermined advantageous amount of game value at the predetermined advantageous rate, and is not advantageous. The ratio, non-advantageous amount, advantageous proportion, and advantageous amount may satisfy the relationship of (advantageous proportion) × (advantageous amount)> (non-advantageous proportion) × (non-advantageous amount) (see the modified example (12)). ). As a result, when the determination result of the pre-decision means becomes a specific result, the amount of game value that the player acquires when operated by the advantageous procedure than when operated by a procedure different from the advantageous procedure It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is high in that the expected value of becomes high.

(B-1) Grant point information update means (see S1, S2, and S10 in FIG. 12) for updating the grant point information for specifying the grant point when a predetermined point grant condition (point grant condition) is satisfied. ,
Storage means (RAM 91c) for storing updated grant point information;
Notification conditions (FIG. 10 and FIG. 11) in which the degree of advantage for the player differs according to the grant points (total number of grant points) specified from the grant point information at a predetermined opportunity in the progress of the game (the lottery conditions for the first AT lottery are established) And a notification period control means (first AT lottery process executed by the sub-control unit 91) for controlling the notification period (AT) for notifying predetermined information (navigation effect) according to the notification condition. , AT management processing)
As the grant point information that suggests the updated grant point, the correct grant point information that can correctly identify the updated grant point, or a notification condition that is less advantageous to the player than the updated grant point is the notification period. And provision point information notification means (see S4, S6, and S8 in FIG. 12) for notifying inaccurate provision point information that can identify the provision points set by the control means.

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermination means becomes the specific result, in the notification period that can be operated in a procedure for deliberately deriving a display result different from the specific display result, The control is performed according to the notification conditions set so that the degree of advantage for the player differs according to the granted points specified from the above. Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that a notification point with a high degree of advantage becomes a grant point.

  In addition, as the grant point information that suggests the updated grant point, accurate grant point information that can correctly identify the updated grant point, or a notification condition that is less advantageous to the player than the updated grant point is reported. Inaccurate grant point information that can specify the grant points set by the period control means is notified. For this reason, the player has a sense of expectation that a grant point for which a notification condition having a higher degree of advantage for the player is actually set may be updated than the grant point specified from the grant point information. be able to. As a result, it is possible to have a greater sense of expectation than the grant points specified from the notified grant point information for being controlled during the notification period. In addition, even when a grant point for which a notification condition having a relatively low degree of advantage for a player is set is identified from the notified grant point information, the notification condition has a higher degree of advantage for the player than the grant point. Since it may be actually updated to the grant point set, the expectation for being controlled during the notification period can be maintained.

(B-2) The said grant point information alerting | reporting means alert | reports the said correct grant point information as grant point information which suggests the said updated grant point about each grant point updated when the said point grant conditions were satisfied. Including notification determining means (S4 in FIG. 12) for determining whether or not to perform (control to notify the granted point),
The notification determining means determines the probability of notifying the accurate grant point information, and the correct grant point is updated for the grant points that are updated when the point grant condition is established before the grant points to be determined are updated. The determination is made so as to differ depending on whether or not the point information is determined to be notified (see FIGS. 15A and 15B).

  According to such a configuration, the probability of determining that accurate grant point information is to be notified for each of the grant points that are updated when the point grant condition is satisfied is given points before the grant points that are the subject of the determination are updated. It is possible to make a difference depending on whether or not it has already been decided to notify the accurate grant point information about the grant points that are updated when the condition is established, that is, whether or not it is decided not to notify the correct grant point information. Thereby, according to whether or not it is determined not to notify the accurate grant point information, if the point grant condition is established and updated after the grant point to be determined, the accurate grant point information is notified. The probability of determining can be changed.

  In addition, the above-described notification determination unit is configured to accurately determine the probability of determining that accurate grant point information is to be notified about the grant points updated when the point grant condition is established before the grant points to be determined are updated. The determination may be performed so that the time when it is not determined to notify the accurate grant point information is higher than when it is determined to notify the grant point information.

  In this case, when it is determined not to notify the accurate provision point information than when it is already determined to notify the accurate provision point information (that is, when it is determined not to notify the accurate provision point information) (that is, when the accurate provision point information is not determined) Since it is determined that the accurate grant point information is to be notified with high probability when the point information is determined not to be notified), it is determined that the accurate grant point information is not further notified and specified from the grant point information. It is possible to prevent the difference between the grant points and the actually updated grant points from becoming too large and the reliability of the grant point information from being excessively lowered.

(B-3-1) The said grant point information alerting | reporting means is said correct grant point information as grant point information which suggests the said updated grant point about each grant point which the said point grant conditions were satisfied and updated. Notification determining means (S6 in FIG. 12) for determining whether or not to notify (control to notify the grant point),
The notification determination means performs the determination so that the probability of determining to notify the accurate grant point information differs according to the grant points specified from the grant point information that was notified before the determination (FIG. 16 ( a), see (b), etc., see modification (10)).

  According to such a configuration, the grant point specified from the grant point information that was broadcast before the determination is determined as the probability that the correct grant point information will be reported for each of the grant points that are updated when the point grant condition is established. It can be different depending on. Thereby, according to the grant point specified from the notified grant point information, it is possible to change the probability of determining that the correct grant point information is to be notified for the updated grant point after the point grant condition is established. .

  Note that the notification determining means described above is more advantageous for the player than when the given point specified from the given point information notified before the determination has a predetermined amount of probability that the correct given point information is notified. The determination is made so that the probability that it is determined to notify the accurate provision point information is higher when the notification point is set with a low notification condition than when the notification point is the predetermined amount. Also good.

  In this case, it is determined that the more highly probable point information is to be notified with a higher probability as the granted point specified from the granted point information is a granted point for which a notification condition having a lower degree of advantage for the player is set. On the other hand, the more the player points specified from the player point information are the player points for which the notification condition with the lower degree of advantage for the player is set, the higher the player's attention to the player point information that is notified. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the notified grant point information is high, by accurately reporting the granted point information with a high probability, the expectation and the sense of security corresponding to the updated granted point are high. Can be held by a player.

(B-3-2) The grant point information notifying means for notifying the grant point information capable of specifying the updated grant point for each of the grant points updated when the point grant condition is established. Including notification determination means (S6 in FIG. 12) for determining whether or not to perform specific notification control (control to notify the given point);
The probability that the notification determining means determines to notify the accurate grant point information differs according to the updated grant points when the point grant conditions are established before the grant points to be determined are updated. Thus, the determination is performed (see FIGS. 16A and 16B).

  According to such a configuration, the probability of determining that accurate grant point information is to be notified for each of the grant points that are updated when the point grant condition is satisfied is given points before the grant points that are the subject of the determination are updated. It can be made different according to the granted points updated when the conditions are established. Thereby, according to the updated grant point, it is possible to change the probability of determining that accurate grant point information will be notified for the updated grant point after the point grant condition is established.

  Note that the above-described notification determining means determines that the probability of determining that accurate grant point information is to be notified is that the grant points that have been updated after the point grant condition is established before the grant points to be determined are updated are determined. There is a higher probability that it is determined that the given point information is to be notified when the given point is set with a notification condition that is less advantageous for the player than when the amount is fixed, rather than when the predetermined amount is set. Alternatively, the determination may be made.

  In this case, it is determined that the more accurately granted point information is notified with a higher probability as the updated granted point is a granted point for which a notification condition having a lower degree of advantage for the player is set. On the other hand, the more the awarded point is an award point for which a notification condition with a low degree of advantage for the player is set, the higher the player's attention to the notified point information. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the notified grant point information is high, by accurately reporting the granted point information with a high probability, the expectation and the sense of security corresponding to the updated granted point are high. Can be held by a player.

(C) External for performing processing for causing the variable display unit to derive the same display result as when the derivation operation accepting means is operated in the operation procedure based on operation procedure information for specifying a predetermined operation procedure The test apparatus (test apparatus 1200) further includes output means (for example, a sub control unit 91 and an input / output board 1100) for outputting recommended operation procedure information for specifying a predetermined recommended operation procedure.
The output means outputs operation procedure information (recommended operation procedure information) according to the determination result by the prior determination means (see FIG. 24, modified example (11)).

  According to such a configuration, in the external test apparatus, it is possible to identify an operation procedure that is likely to be actually performed by the player, and is derived when the operation procedure is performed according to such an operation procedure. A test can be performed based on the display result. As a result, the test can be performed on the assumption that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player.

  The output means outputs information for specifying an arbitrary operation procedure (so-called father hitting) (information that can specify the region numbers 1 to 21 for each of the reels 2L to 2R) as the recommended operation procedure information. (Refer to Modification (11)).

  The output means operates as a recommended operation procedure information when a prize determined to be allowed to be generated by the pre-decision means is operated in a predetermined first operation procedure (a predetermined small combination is not awarded). Information for specifying a predetermined second operation procedure to be generated with a higher probability than when the stop operation is performed (see Modification (11)).

  According to such a configuration, in the external test apparatus, it is possible to identify an operation procedure that is likely to be actually performed by the player, and is derived when the operation procedure is performed according to such an operation procedure. A test can be performed based on the display result. As a result, the test can be performed on the assumption that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player.

  (D) The notification condition may be a condition related to the control for the notification period. The notification condition may be, for example, a condition related to whether or not to start the notification period. More specifically, the notification condition relating to whether or not to start the notification period is (a) determined to control to the notification period in the slot machine that controls to the notification period on condition that it is determined to control to the notification period. (I) a ratio for determining the number of games reached until the control to the notification period is started in the slot machine that is controlled in the notification period on condition that the number of games reached has reached the determined number of reached games; (C) A slot that is controlled during the notification period on condition that the number of times of ending avoidance that has led to display of a display result different from the specific display result when the determination result of the predetermination means becomes the specific result has been reached. It may be a ratio that determines the number of times of arrival until the control to the notification period is started in the machine (see the modified example (35)).

  In the case of (a) above, in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition that is determined to be controlled in the notification period at a high rate (see the table in FIG. 18A and the table in FIG. 18D). In the case of (i) above, in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a smaller number of reached games at a high rate (see Modification (35)). In the case of (c) above, in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a smaller number of arrivals at a high rate (see Modification Example (35)).

  Further, the notification condition may be, for example, a condition related to a period controlled in the notification period. More specifically, the notification condition related to the period to be controlled in the notification period is (d) control on the notification period on condition that the number of games digested in the notification period has reached the determined end game number. The ratio of determining the number of end games in the slot machine to be ended, (e) The end lottery is executed according to the end probability determined in advance in the notification period, and the control to the notification period is performed on condition that the winning in the end lottery is won. The ratio for determining the end probability in the slot machine to be ended, (f) The notification period, provided that the determination result of the predetermining means becomes the specific result in the notification period and the number of times the specific result time information has been notified has reached the specified number It may be a ratio for determining the specified number of times in the slot machine that finishes the control of (see Modification (35)).

  In the case of (d) above, in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets notification conditions for determining a higher number of finished games at a high rate (see the table in FIG. 18A, the 30G digestion table, and the bonus winning table in FIG. 18D). In the case of the above (e), in the period controlled to the third gaming state, in the period other than the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a lower end probability at a high rate (see Modification (35)). In the case of (f) above, in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a larger specified number of times at a high rate (see Modification (35)).

  In addition, the notification condition is, for example, (ki) a slot machine that draws whether or not to notify the specific result time information when the determination result of the predetermining means becomes a specific result during the notification period, and notifies when it is won May be a ratio for determining the winning probability. In the case of (ki), in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a higher winning probability at a high rate (see Modification (35)).

  The notification condition may be any of the above (a) to (ki), or may be selectively combined among the above (a) to (ki). Even if the notification condition is any one of the above (a) to (ki) and selectively combined, the fourth gaming state is in the period controlled to the third gaming state except for the reporting period. Since the notification condition is set so that the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that of the player, the player can proceed with the game while expecting it, and the interest of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the slot machine adopting (a) or (c) as the notification condition, the gaming state is controlled to be the fourth gaming state when the end display result is derived according to the notification condition. Outside the notification period, the non-period notification possible period control means for controlling the specific result time information to the non-period notification possible period,
Provided with out-of-period notifying means for notifying specified result information corresponding to the specified result when the determination result of the prior determining means becomes the specified result on condition that the notification period is outside the period In this case, the notification condition relating to whether or not to start the notification period may further include the technical matters described below.

  As notification conditions related to whether or not to start the notification period, (h) notification outside the period can be made on condition that the number of games digested in the out-of-period notification period has reached the determined number of out-of-period end games Execute out-of-period end lottery according to the ratio of determining the out-of-period end game in the slot machine that ends the control to the period, and the predetermined out-of-period end probability in the out-of-period notification possible period. The ratio of determining the end-of-period end probability in the slot machine that finishes the control to the out-of-period notification period on condition that the lottery has been won, The slot for ending the control to the period that can be notified outside the period on condition that the number of times the information on the specific result is notified reaches the prescribed number outside the period. Good rate, be an determining the period out prescribed number of times in Tomashin (see Modification (36)).

  In the case of the above (ku), in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a larger number of out-of-period end games at a high rate (see Modification (36)). In the case of the above (K), in the period controlled in the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a lower out-of-period termination probability at a high rate (see Modification (36)). In the case of the above (co), in the period controlled to the third gaming state, in the period other than the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a larger number of out-of-period prescribed times at a high rate (see Modification (36)).

  In addition, the notification condition is, for example, lottery whether or not to notify the specific result time information when the determination result of the predetermining means becomes the specific result in the (s) non-period notification possible period, and the notification is made when winning In the slot machine, the ratio for determining the winning probability may be used. In the case of the above (sa), in the period controlled to the third gaming state, except for the notification period, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than that in the fourth gaming state. The notification period control means sets a notification condition for determining a higher winning probability at a high rate (see Modification (36)).

  The notification condition in the slot machine including the non-period notification possible period control means and the non-period notification means may be any of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa), Moreover, what was selectively combined among said (a)-(ki) and said (ku)-(sa) may be sufficient. Even if the notification condition is any one of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa) or selectively combined, the notification is made during the period controlled to the third gaming state. Outside of the period, the notification condition is set so that the player has a higher degree of advantage than in the fourth gaming state, so the player can proceed with the game with expectation, Interest can be improved.

A reset that functions as a setting switch to change the setting value of the winning probability (outtake rate) of internal lottery, which will be described later DOO / setting switch 38, a power switch 39 which is operated to turn ON / OFF the power supply is provided.

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or a bet number is set using a credit. In order to use credits, the single BET switch 5 or the MAX BET switch 6 may be operated. When a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set, the winning line determined according to the gaming state among the winning lines L1 to L6 (see FIG. 1) becomes effective, and the start switch 7 is operated. Is in a valid state, that is, a state where the game can be started. When medals are inserted beyond the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line that is set to determine whether a combination of symbols displayed on the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the winning line L1 set across the symbols arranged in the upper stage of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R and the symbols arranged in the lower stage of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R are displayed. The winning line L2, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the winning line L3, the lower stage of the reel 2L, and the middle stage of the reel 2C, which are set across the right-down symbols. , Set up over the upper line of the reel 2R, that is, the winning line L4 set across the symbols arranged in the upward direction, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, ie, over the symbols arranged in the V shape. There are six types of winning lines L5, the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the winning line L6 set across the reverse V-shaped symbols. Has been defined as down, normal game state, preparation mode, RT, big bonus, all winning lines L1~L6 the betting amount prescribed number is set is effective in regular bonus. The winning line is not limited to the lines indicated by L1 to L6, and may include, for example, a line extending over symbols arranged in the middle of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a role) is set on any of the activated pay lines L1 to L6. When the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped as a display result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in the present embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). If a combination of symbols with payout of medals is arranged on a plurality of activated pay lines, the total number of payouts determined for each combination of symbols arranged on the activated pay line is totaled. The total number of medals is awarded to the player. However, an upper limit (15 in this embodiment) is set for the number of medals to be awarded in one game. When the total number of medals exceeds the upper limit, the upper limit number of medals is given. Will be. In addition, when a combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the game state is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R on any activated pay line L1 to L6, a game corresponding to the combination of symbols Transition to the state.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated to start changing the symbols, any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is When operated, the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R stop rotating and the symbols are stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds). The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, as a result, the symbols from the symbol to six frames ahead can be displayed in the upper row. That is, in each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated, within 7 frames including the symbols displayed on the lower row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The arranged symbols can be displayed on the winning line.

Are connected, and the detection signals of these connected switches are inputted.

  Further, the game control board 40 includes the credit display 11, the game auxiliary display 12, the payout display 13, 1 to 3 BET LEDs 14 to 16, the insertion request LED 17, the start valid LED 18, the waiting LED 19, the replaying LED 20, and the BET. The switch effective LED 21, left, middle, and right stop effective LEDs 22L, 22C, and 22R, the set value display 24, the flow path switching solenoid 30, and the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are connected to each other, and are described above via the power supply board 101. The hopper motor 34b is connected, and these electric components are driven based on control of a main control unit 41 (described later) mounted on the game control board 40.

  The game control board 40 includes a microcomputer having a main CPU 41a, ROM 41b, RAM 41c, and I / O port 41d. The main control unit 41 controls the game, and a predetermined range (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment). Random number generation circuit 42 for generating a random number, sampling circuit 43 for acquiring a random number from the random number generation circuit, and switch detection for detecting a detection signal input from switches connected directly to the game control board 40 or via the power supply board 101 Circuit 44, motor drive circuit 45 that controls the drive of reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R, solenoid drive circuit 46 that controls the drive of flow path switching solenoid 30, and various displays and LEDs connected to game control board 40 The LED drive circuit 47 that controls the power supplied to the slot machine 1 When the voltage is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, a power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41, an initialization command is not input when the power is turned on or from the main CPU 41a A reset circuit 49 that sometimes gives a reset signal to the main CPU 41a, an electrical connection state between the game control board 40 and the inserted medal sensor 31, and an electrical connection state between the game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 A disconnection monitoring IC 50 for monitoring the above and other various devices and circuits are mounted.

  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b, and performs processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 is also supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and while the backup power is being supplied, the main CPU 41a performs a refresh operation to hold the data stored in the RAM 41c. It has become so.

  The random number generation circuit 42 is configured by a counter that counts up and updates the value every time a predetermined number of pulses are generated, as will be described later, and the sampling circuit 43 acquires the numerical value counted by the random number generation circuit 42. . The random number generation circuit 42 defines a range of numerical values to be counted for each type of random number, and in the present embodiment, 0 to 65535 is defined as the range. The main CPU 41a sends an instruction to the sampling circuit 43 according to the processing to acquire the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 42 as a random number (this function is hereinafter referred to as a hardware random number function). Random numbers for internal lottery, which will be described later, are processed by software instead of using the random numbers extracted by the hardware random number function as they are. The main CPU 41a also has a function of updating a numerical value of a specific register by the above-described timer interrupt process (main) and acquiring the updated numerical value as a random number (hereinafter, this function is referred to as a software random number function). .

  In the power interruption interrupt process, the execution of other interrupt processes is prohibited with the start of the process. Then, a process of saving all registers that may be in use to the RAM is performed. As a result, it is possible to return to the original processing when the power interruption is restored.

  Next, after all output ports are initialized, a RAM parity is calculated based on all data stored in the RAM, set in a predetermined parity storage area, and RAM access is prohibited. Then, a loop process in which no process is performed is entered. That is, when the voltage decreases as it is, the operation is stopped internally. Therefore, the main control unit 41 reliably stops operation when power is interrupted.

  Thus, in the power interruption processing, the RAM parity at that time is calculated and stored in the parity storage area, and stored in the RAM by comparing with the RAM parity calculated at the next startup. It is possible to check whether the data being processed is normal.

  Next, the reset circuit 49 outputs a reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the voltage rises to a level at which the main control unit 41 can be activated when the power is turned on, and activates the main control unit 41. When the value of the reset counter is counted up without being cleared based on a signal periodically output from the main control unit 41, that is, when the main control unit 41 does not operate for a certain time, The reset signal is output to restart the main control unit 41.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. The transmission line of the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is composed of a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 80. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not directly connected.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to the light receiving devices 57a and 57b constituting the touch panel described above, and detection signals of the connected light receiving devices 57a and 57b are input to the touch panel controller 99.

  The production control board 90 is connected to electrical components such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), production effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LEDs 55 arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. The electrical components are driven based on control by a sub-control unit 91 (described later) mounted on the effect control board 90. The effect control board 90 is connected to the light emitting devices 56a and 56b constituting the touch panel described above, and the light emitting devices 56a and 56b are based on control by a touch panel controller 99 described later mounted on the effect control board 90. To be driven.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and a microcomputer including an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 for performing display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an effect driving LED 52, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, Switch detection for detecting a detection signal input from a reset circuit 95 for supplying a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, and switches connected to the effect control board 90 Circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information The clock device 97, the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power interruption detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub-control unit 91; A touch panel controller 99 for performing processing for specifying a position where a touch operation is performed on the display surface of the liquid crystal display 51 based on signals from the devices 56b and 57b, other circuits, and the like are mounted. In response to the command transmitted from the game control board 40 and the output information from the touch panel controller 99, various controls for performing the performance are performed, and each part of the control circuit mounted on the performance control board 90 is directly or Control indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). The sub CPU 91a acquires a command from the main control unit 41 based on an input of a strobe (INT) signal output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, and performs a command reception interrupt process for storing the command in the reception buffer. Run. In addition, the sub CPU 91a generates an interrupt at regular intervals and executes a timer interrupt process. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes a power interruption interrupt process according to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate, and the payout rate being lower in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. In other words, when 6 is set as the set value, the player has the highest advantage, and the advantages decrease stepwise in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  In order to change the set value, when the power of the slot machine 1 is in the ON state, it is necessary to turn it off once, and after the setting key switch 37 is turned on, the power of the slot machine 1 needs to be turned on. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, 1 is displayed as the initial value of the setting value on the setting value display 24, and the setting change mode in which the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 is set. Transition. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change mode, the setting value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the setting value is returned to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the set value is confirmed, and the confirmed set value is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the game shifts to a state where the game can be started by setting the number of bets. It should be noted that when the power of the slot machine 1 is in an ON state, an operation for turning it OFF once, an operation for turning the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned ON, an operation of the reset / setting switch 38, An operation necessary for setting the set value, such as an operation of the start switch 7 for determining the set value, is referred to as a setting change operation. The setting change operation is not limited to such an operation, and may be any operation as long as it is an operation for setting a setting value.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a stop phase work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. General work consists of data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in the BB, and a winning flag that is initialized at the end of each game (small role, replay ) And a winning flag are stored.

  Special work, data for sending commands to the production control board 90, various software random numbers, etc., data that is initialized only before the start of setting, at the end of each game, at the time of winning and setting changes Winning flag (big bonus, regular bonus) that is initialized at the time (when changing to the setting change mode), gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state of the next game, the number of digested games reaches the predetermined number of games This is a work in which the number of remaining games controlled by the RT is stored when the game state is completed (for example, a normal game state described later). In the special work, an example in which the number of remaining games is stored will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of games digested after being controlled in the gaming state may be stored.

  The set value work is a work in which a set value used when performing a lottery in the internal lottery process is stored, and is set to 1 after 0 is stored in the initialization before the setting is started (before the transition to the setting change mode). The set value that is corrected and newly set at the end of the setting (when the setting change mode is ended) is stored.

  Even in the case of shifting to the setting change mode, in principle, information regarding the gaming state (the type of gaming state and the number of remaining games when in the normal gaming state) before the setting changing mode is maintained. Thereby, for example, when the mode is changed to the setting change mode during RT, the game state is controlled such that the replay winning probability of the RT is maintained even after the mode change mode is changed. In addition, when the game is shifted to the setting change mode during the normal game state that ends when the number of games reaches the predetermined number of games, the number of remaining games is also maintained. In addition, when the bonus winning flag is set for the special work and the mode is changed to the setting change mode, the winning flag is initialized. For example, in the case of shifting to the setting change mode during the bonus winning, the winning flag of the bonus is initialized, and when winning in the bonus lottery, the winning flag can be set again and the replay winning probability of the RT is maintained. Controlled by the state. For this reason, in principle, an area in which a game state flag for specifying the game state of the next game is stored is not initialized in connection with the setting change. As an exception, for example, when the gaming state before transition to the setting change mode is a bonus, a gaming state flag indicating, for example, a preparation mode is stored in relation to the setting change.

  The stop phase work is a work in which data indicating the stop phase of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stored, and data indicating the stop phase is stored when the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are stopped. The Rukoto. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied.

  The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a starts up when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are ON, when a RAM error occurs, or when only the setting key switch 37 is ON. When the BB ends, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both turned off and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed, six initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied. At this time, five types of initializations with different regions to be initialized are performed according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON at the time of start-up, and is performed when a change to the setting change mode is performed, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. Yes, in initialization 0, all areas (unused area and unused area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c except for the in-use stack area and the area where the game state flag for specifying the game state of the next game is stored (Including the stack area) is initialized and controlled to the initial gaming state.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed when only the setting key switch 37 is ON at the time of start-up and shifts to the setting change mode. In the initialization 1, the stack in use in the storage area of the RAM 41c. The area, the area in which the game state flag for specifying the game state of the next game is stored, and all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the stop phase work are initialized.

  Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are in an OFF state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The saved work, unused area, and unused stack area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, an example in which initialization 0 and initialization 1 are performed at the end of the setting change mode will be described. However, the first game before the setting change mode, during the setting change mode, or after the setting change is performed. May be performed until the start is started (until the start switch 7 is operated). In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost, so the set value work is not initialized.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when a winning symbol is aligned on any winning line of the variable display device 2. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing. The big bonus may be indicated as BB, and the regular bonus provided during the big bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations, and FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating the technical matter relevant to a symbol combination and a special appearance. 6A is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 6B shows the transition of the probability state controlled by the sub control unit 91. It is a figure for demonstrating.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the main control unit 41 sets the gaming state to the preparation mode, the first advantageous RT, the second advantageous RT, the CZ, the normal gaming state, and the internal intermediate RT. , Can be controlled to any of the bonus.

  The preparation mode refers to a gaming state controlled after the bonus ends. The first advantageous RT is a gaming state controlled when a predetermined first advantageous condition is satisfied (preparation mode or special outcome stop in CZ). The chance zone (CZ) is a gaming state controlled when a predetermined chance zone condition is satisfied (100 games are consumed in the first advantageous RT, 30 games are consumed in the second advantageous RT, or 1000 games are consumed in the normal gaming state). Say. The second advantageous RT is a gaming state that is controlled when a predetermined second advantageous condition is established (promotion replay winning in CZ). The normal gaming state refers to a gaming state that is controlled when a predetermined normal condition is established (falling replay winning in CZ). Internal RT means a gaming state controlled when a bonus internal is won. Bonus refers to a gaming state controlled by bonus winning. The first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT are states that are more advantageous to the player than the preparation mode, the CZ, and the normal gaming state in that the winning rate of the re-gamer is extremely high as will be described later. I can say that. The first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT are collectively referred to as RT.

  In addition, on the condition that the navigation stock is set as will be described later, the sub control unit 91 produces an assist time (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect for notifying the internal lottery result can be executed. The state can be controlled. A state in which the AT flag indicating the notification period is set is referred to as AT, and a state in which the AT flag is not set is referred to as non-AT.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the sub-control unit 91 is controlled to a high probability state on condition that the bonus ends or melon winning which will be described later is performed. It is controlled to a low probability state on condition that the number of games is consumed or a bonus is won. When the probability state is a high probability state, or when the gaming state is in a bonus state, a point relating to the probability controlled by the AT is awarded by satisfying a predetermined point granting condition as will be described later.

  Referring to FIG. 5A, the special combination of the winning combinations includes a big bonus (1), a big bonus (2), and a regular bonus.

  The big bonus (1) is won when a combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The big bonus (2) is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. When either of the big bonuses (1) or (2) is won, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus.

  When the big bonus is controlled, the regular bonus is repeatedly controlled until the big bonus ends. While the gaming state is the big bonus, a big bonus medium flag corresponding to the type of the big bonus won is set in the RAM 41c. Further, during the regular bonus, the regular bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 41c. That is, while the big bonus medium flag is set to the ON state, the regular bonus medium flag is repeatedly set to the ON state when the regular bonus medium flag is not set to the ON state when the game is started. The

  The big bonuses (1) and (2) are terminated on condition that 270 or more medals have been paid out to the player.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the game state is controlled to the internal RT from when the big bonuses (1), (2) and the regular bonus are internally won until winning. In the internal RT, the probability of winning the replay is higher than that in the normal gaming state.

  When the big bonus is won, after the big bonus is over, all operations of the player are invalid except for the payment of credits, and the game is controlled in a frozen state in which the game cannot be progressed for a certain period of time. In addition, when the big bonus ends when the stop function is enabled, all operations of the player are invalidated except for the payment of credits, and reset to a stop state in which the game cannot be progressed. Control is performed until the / setting switch 38 is operated. Also, as shown in FIG. 6A, after the big bonus is over, the gaming state is controlled to the preparation mode.

  The regular bonus is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-red 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. When the regular bonus is won, the gaming state shifts to the regular bonus.

  When the regular bonus is won, the regular bonus is controlled until 12 games are consumed or 8 times. While the game state is in the regular bonus, the regular bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the game state is controlled to the above-described internal RT until the regular bonus is won after the regular bonus is won internally.

  In addition, when the regular bonus is won, after the regular bonus is over, all operations of the player are invalid except for the payment of credits, and the game is controlled in a frozen state in which the game cannot be progressed for a certain period of time. In addition, when the regular bonus ends when the stop function is enabled, all operations of the player are disabled except for the payment of credits, and reset to a stop state in which the progress of the game becomes impossible Control is performed until the / setting switch 38 is operated. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6A, after the regular bonus is ended, the gaming state is controlled to the preparation mode in the same manner as when the big bonus is ended. The preparation mode is continuously controlled until a big bonus or a regular bonus is won or the special game is stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when the probability state controlled by the sub-control unit 91 is a high probability state, when the big bonus or regular bonus is won, the probability state is controlled to a low probability state. After the regular bonus ends, the low probability state is controlled to the high probability state. The high probability state controlled by the end of the big bonus or the regular bonus is continuously controlled until 50 games are consumed or the bonus is won.

  In the present embodiment, in relation to the big bonuses (1), (2) and the regular bonus, the sub control unit 91 controls the effect state to AT when one of the bonuses is won or finished. An AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to do so. The AT lottery includes a first AT lottery for lottery according to the probability according to the total number of points awarded, and a second AT lottery for lottery according to the probability according to the established lottery conditions. ), When the bonus is over, or when a predetermined number of games are consumed in a non-AT. The sub-control unit 91 uses, for example, a random number extracted from a random counter to perform AT lottery to determine whether to control to AT during non-AT and a period during which AT can be controlled. In AT, an AT lottery is performed for the sub-control unit 91 to determine whether to add (extend) a controllable period to the AT.

  Even if one of the big bonus and regular bonus is won in the internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is not operated at an appropriate timing to make it possible to win these roles, There will be no winnings. This is because the symbols (“red 7” and “white 7”) constituting the big bonus and the regular bonus are not arranged within 7 frames in each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

  Next, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the small combinations include strawberry (1), strawberry (2), melon, and nine-piece combination (1) to nine-piece combination (9). Among the small roles, melon is awarded when a combination of “melon-melon-melon” is arranged on any of the winning lines. When melon wins, 9 medals are paid out. In principle, the melon can be awarded regardless of the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. This is because the symbols constituting the melon ("melon") are arranged within 7 frames in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the melon is won when the probability state controlled by the sub control unit 91 is the low probability state, whether or not the sub control unit 91 controls the high probability state. A high probability lottery will be held. In addition, when the winning is performed by the high probability state lottery, the sub control unit 91 controls the probability state to the high probability state. The probability of winning in the high probability state lottery is set to 50%, for example. The high-probability state controlled by winning the high-probability state lottery is continuously controlled until 30 games are consumed or a bonus is won.

  In addition, when the probability state controlled by the sub-control unit 91 is a high probability state, the point granting lottery for determining whether or not to give a point related to the winning probability of the first AT lottery is triggered by winning the melon. Executed. In addition, when the melon is won in the low probability state, and when it is won by the high probability state lottery and controlled to the high probability state, the point giving lottery is further executed. As a result, the player can have a sense of expectation for winning the melon in the low probability state.

  Next, among the small roles, strawberry (1) becomes a winning when a symbol of “black strawberry” is derived on one of the winning lines for reel 2L, and two medals are paid out. Among the small roles, the strawberry (2) is awarded when the symbol “white strawberry” is derived on one of the winning lines for the reel 2L, and two medals are paid out. These strawberry (1) and strawberry (2) are also simply called strawberry. If the symbol “black strawberry” or “white strawberry” stops at the upper or lower level of the left reel 2L, the winning lines L1, L3, L5 or the winning lines L2, L4, L6 are on the three winning lines. Since winning the strawberry (1) or strawberry (2), 6 medals are paid out.

  If a strawberry is won during the bonus, a notification promoting condition for promoting control by the AT is established, as will be described later with reference to FIG. Specifically, when the notification promoting condition is established by winning a strawberry in the bonus, a process for reliably controlling the AT is performed after the bonus ends. In the present embodiment, the notification promoting condition that is more advantageous for the player is established when the strawberry (2) is won than when the strawberry (2) is not won.

  If a strawberry is won when it is not a bonus, an AT lottery is performed. In addition, if the strawberry (1) or the strawberry (2) is won in the high probability state, the points related to the winning probability of the first AT lottery are always given.

  Further, only in the game where the strawberry (1) or the strawberry (2) is won, special reel control is performed so that a special outcome can be stopped on the winning line. Thereby, even if it is a case where neither a strawberry (1) nor a strawberry (2) is won, a special turn is stopped, and the strawberry (1) or the strawberry (2) is won. This can be notified to the player.

  Next, nine-piece roles (1) to (9) will be described. The 9-piece winning combination (1) is awarded when a combination of “red 7-blank (1) -red 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece combination (2) wins when a combination of “white 7-blank (1) -red 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (3) is awarded when the combination of “BAR-Blank (1) -Red 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (4) is awarded when a combination of “red 7-blank (1) -white 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (5) is awarded when a combination of “white 7-blank (1) -white 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (6) is awarded when the combination of “BAR-Blank (1) -White 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (7) is awarded when a combination of “red 7-blank (1) -BAR” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (8) is awarded when a combination of “white 7-blank (1) -BAR” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The 9-piece winning combination (9) is awarded when the combination of “BAR-Blank (1) -BAR” is aligned on any of the winning lines.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the symbols constituting each of the nine-piece roles (1) to (9) are not arranged within 7 frames on the reels 2L and 2R, but are arranged within 7 frames on the reel 2C. ing. For this reason, even if one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won in the internal lottery to be described later, the stop switches 8L and 8R must be operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these winning combinations. , I will not win the winning nine-piece role.

  Further, the left symbol and the right symbol constituting each of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) are arranged 7 frames apart on each of the reels 2L and 2R. For this reason, the combination of the operation timings of the stop switches 8L to 8R ("operation procedure") for deriving each of the 9-sheet roles (1) to (9) is different for each of the 9-sheet roles (1) to (9). Can be made. For example, the operation procedure for deriving the nine-piece combination (1) is to operate the stop switch 8L at a timing at which “red 7” of the left reel 2L can be drawn into the pay line, and “red 7” of the right reel 2R. Is a procedure for operating the stop switch 8R at a timing at which can be drawn into the winning line. The operation procedure for deriving the 9-piece combination (9) is that the “BAR” of the left reel 2L is operated at a timing at which the “BAR” can be pulled into the winning line, and the “BAR” of the right reel 2R is won. This is a procedure for operating the stop switch 8R at a timing that can be pulled into the line.

  In a state where it is not recognized which of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, when the stop switches 8L and 8R are operated, the left symbol and the right constituting the winning nine winning combination The symbol is drawn with a probability of 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/9 and won, and the other 8/9 cannot be drawn and cannot win.

  On the other hand, the nine role combinations (1) to (9) are navigation target combinations in which a navigation effect corresponding to the selected type is executed on the condition that it is the AT described above. For this reason, when the player is an AT, information corresponding to the winning nine winning combination is notified. The information corresponding to the type of the winning combination may be, for example, information that can specify the type of the nine winning combination, and the operation procedure for winning the winning nine winning combination can be specified. It may be information. Thus, in the AT, the player can recognize the type of the winning nine-piece combination, and can operate the stop switches 8L and 8R at an appropriate timing for winning the notified nine-piece combination. As a result, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of 9-piece missing. Also, when the 9-piece combination is missed, the special roll is stopped as will be described later. The special outcome is stopped during the CZ, so that the first advantageous RT is controlled. For this reason, when it is AT in the CZ, the player can operate the stop switches 8L to 8R at the timing to stop the special game without winning the nine winning combinations. As a result, when the CZ is AT, it is possible to control the first advantageous RT by intentionally losing the 9-piece combination and stopping the special outcome.

  In addition, when the gaming state is in bonus, points related to the winning probability of the 1st AT lottery will always be given when any of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) wins and wins alone. Is done.

  Next, among the winning combinations, the replaying combination will be described. Among the winning combinations, the replaying role includes normal replay, falling replay, BAR replay, promotion replay (1), promotion replay (2), and promotion replay (3). When you win one of the re-players, you will not be paid out medals, but you can start the next game without setting the number of bets again. This is essentially the same as when medals are paid out.

  The normal replay is awarded when a combination of “banana-banana-banana” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The symbols constituting the normal replay (“banana”) are arranged within 7 frames on each reel. Therefore, as a general rule, it can be said that the normal replay is a role that can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if the winning is made.

  The tumble replay is awarded when a combination of “melon-banana-banana” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The symbols constituting the tumble replay ("melon" on the left reel 2L, "reel" on the middle reel 2C, and "banana" on the right reel 2R) are arranged within 7 frames on each reel. Therefore, it can be said that, as a general rule, the fall replay can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if it is won.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, after winning the fall replay in CZ, the game state is controlled to the normal gaming state. As will be described later, the fall replay is read simultaneously with the bonus in the preparation mode and the internal lottery in RT, but is not read separately from the bonus. That is, in the preparation mode and RT, the fall replay is configured to be won only at the same time as the bonus. Further, when the bonus and the fall replay are simultaneously won in the preparation mode or RT, it is controlled to the internal RT when the bonus is won, and the fall replay can be won in the internal RT. However, in the internal RT where the bonus is won, even if a fall replay is won, it is not controlled to the normal gaming state, and the internal RT is maintained. For this reason, it is configured not to be controlled to the normal gaming state from a game started in the preparation mode or RT.

  On the other hand, in the internal lottery in CZ, the fall replay is read separately from the bonus. For this reason, in the internal lottery in CZ, the fall replay is not limited to winning at the same time as the bonus, but can be won alone (including those that are won at the same time as normal replay) instead of at the same time as the bonus. Therefore, when the fall replay is won independently in CZ, there is a possibility that the fall replay is won and the game state is controlled to the normal game state. In addition, when the AT is controlled to the normal gaming state by winning the fall replay during the AT, the AT ends.

  The fall replay is a navigation target combination in which a navigation effect corresponding to the type of replay selected is executed on the condition that it is an AT. In addition, the fall replay is won in the internal lottery at the same time as the normal replay or the normal replay and the BAR replay, and the operation procedure for the fall replay is different according to the type of the replay that has been won at the same time. For this reason, when it is AT, when the fall replay is won, information according to the type of replay won simultaneously with the fall replay is notified. The information corresponding to the type of replay that was won at the same time as the fall replay may be information that can identify the type of replay that was won at the same time, and the winning of the fall replay according to the type of replay that was won at the same time. It may be information that can specify an operation procedure for avoiding the problem. Thereby, in the case of an AT, a fall replay winning can be avoided, and as a result, it is possible to intentionally avoid being controlled to the normal gaming state.

  On the other hand, in the case of non-AT, even if the fall replay is won, the navigation effect is not executed, so the fall replay winning can not be intentionally avoided, and there is a possibility of being controlled to the normal gaming state. It can be said that it will increase. In this way, when the fall replay is controlled to CZ which can be won by winning alone, the sharpness is increased by increasing the difference in the player's degree of advantage depending on whether the performance state is AT or not. Thus, it is possible to effectively increase the expectation for winning the AT in the AT lottery, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), after a fall replay is won in CZ and the game is controlled to the normal game state, the game is again controlled to CZ by using 1000 games in the normal game state. The

  The BAR replay is awarded when a combination of “BAR-banana-banana” is arranged on any of the winning lines. Among the symbols constituting the BAR replay, the symbols (“banana”) of the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R are arranged within seven frames on each reel. On the other hand, among the symbols constituting the BAR replay, the symbol (“BAR”) of the left reel 2L is not arranged within seven frames on the left reel 2L. For this reason, even if the BAR replay is won in the internal lottery, the BAR replay is not won unless the stop switch 8L is operated at an appropriate timing.

  The promotion replay (1) is awarded when a combination of “banana-banana-BAR” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The promotion replay (2) is awarded when a combination of “banana-banana-red 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines. The promotion replay (3) is awarded when a combination of “banana-banana-white 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, after winning the promotion replay, the second advantageous RT is controlled. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in the preparation mode, RT, and the normal gaming state, and is set to win in the internal lottery in the CZ with a predetermined probability. For this reason, in the preparation mode, RT, and the normal gaming state, the promotion replay is not won, so the preparation mode, RT, and the normal gaming state are not controlled to the second advantageous RT, and the promotion is promoted only when the player is in the CZ. A replay winning is made and the second advantageous RT is controlled only from the CZ.

  It should be noted that even in a gaming state other than CZ (for example, preparation mode, first advantageous RT), it is possible to win a promotion replay with a predetermined probability (very low probability, 1%), and from a gaming state other than CZ May be configured to be controlled to the second advantageous RT.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the symbols constituting each of the promoted replays (1) to (3) are not arranged within 7 frames on the reel 2R, but are arranged within 7 frames on the reels 2L and 2C. Yes. For this reason, even if one of the promotion replays (1) to (3) is won in the internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switch 8R is not operated at an appropriate timing to make it possible to win these roles, it is won. You will never win a promotion replay. In the present embodiment, each of the promoted replays (1) to (3) is read simultaneously with the normal replay in the internal lottery in CZ, and the internal lottery is performed. For this reason, when it is not possible to win the promoted replay that has been won, the normal replay is won.

  Further, “BAR”, “Red 7”, and “White 7” of the right symbols constituting each of the promoted replays (1) to (3) are arranged 7 frames apart on the reel 2R. Therefore, the combination of the operation timings of the stop switches 8L to 8R ("operation procedure") for deriving each of the promoted replays (1) to (3) is different for each of the promoted replays (1) to (3). Can do. For example, the operation procedure for deriving the promotion replay (1) refers to a procedure of operating the stop switch 8R at a timing at which “BAR” of the right reel 2R can be drawn into the winning line. Further, the operation procedure for deriving the promotion replay (2) is a procedure of operating the stop switch 8R at a timing at which “red 7” of the right reel 2R can be drawn into the pay line. Further, the operation procedure for deriving the promotion replay (3) is a procedure of operating the stop switch 8R at a timing at which “white 7” of the right reel 2R can be drawn into the pay line. Thus, in the present embodiment, the operation procedure (avoidance procedure) is made different by changing the operation timing of the stop switch 8R for winning the selected promotion replay depending on which type of promotion replay is won. be able to.

  When the stop switch 8R is operated in a state where it is not recognized which of the promoted replays (1) to (3) is won, the right symbol constituting the promoted replay is drawn with a probability of 1/3. It becomes a winning prize, and it cannot be drawn with the probability of 2/3 other than that and it becomes impossible to win.

  On the other hand, the promotion replays (1) to (3) are navigation target roles in which a navigation effect corresponding to the selected type is executed on condition that the AT is the above-described AT. For this reason, when it is AT, information according to the elected promotion replay is notified. The information corresponding to the type of the winning combination may be, for example, information that can identify the type of the promoted replay that has been won, or information that can identify the operation procedure for winning the promoted replay that has been won. There may be. Thereby, in the AT, the player can recognize the type of the promoted replay that has been won, and can operate the stop switch 8R at an appropriate timing for winning the notified promoted replay. As a result, the occurrence of missed promotion replays can be reduced, and the promoted replays that are selected when the CZ is controlled by the AT can be intentionally won and controlled by the second advantageous RT.

  On the other hand, in the case of non-AT, even if the promotion replay is won, the navigation effect is not executed, so the promotion replay cannot be won intentionally, and the opportunity to control the second advantageous RT is missed, As a result, it can be said that the possibility of winning a fall replay in CZ is increased and the possibility of being controlled in the normal gaming state is increased. Thus, when it is CZ, depending on whether or not the production state is AT, the difference in the player's degree of advantage is increased, and the sense of expectation for winning the AT in the AT lottery is effective. Can increase the interest of the game.

  Next, the special appearance will be described with reference to FIG. For the special outcome, the symbol of the left reel 2L among the symbol combinations (9) (1) to (9) on any of the winning lines is “red 7 / white 7 / BAR (“ / ”is“ or ” "Meaning") is replaced with "blank (2)" in three types of combinations (blank (2) -blank (1) -red 7 / white 7 / BAR), and the pattern of the right reel 2R is "red 7". / White 7 / BAR "is replaced with" Blank (1) "(Red 7 / White 7 / BAR-Blank (1) -Blank (1)), and the design of the left reel 2L is" Blank (2 ) "And a combination (blank (2) -blank (1) -blank (1)) in which the design of the right reel 2R is replaced with" blank (1) ". In this way, the symbols constituting the special outcome are arranged within 7 frames in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. For this reason, in principle, the special outcome can be stopped at any of the pay lines L1 to L6 regardless of the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control for stopping at any one of the pay lines L1 to L6 in the present embodiment is when any of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won in any gaming state. This is only done when the 9 winning winning combinations are missed. On the other hand, as described above, the special outcome can be stopped at any of the pay lines L1 to L6 regardless of the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Therefore, when any of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, the symbols constituting the winning nine winning combinations are stopped on any of the winning lines L1 to L6. If this is not possible, the special event can be stopped at any of the winning lines L1 to L6.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (a), after the special outcome stops in the preparation mode or CZ, the first advantageous RT is controlled. The preparation mode is continuously controlled until a big bonus or a regular bonus is won or a special outcome is derived. The CZ is continuously controlled until a big bonus or a regular bonus is won, a promotion replay or a fall replay is won, or a special outcome is derived. Even if the special game is stopped in a game state other than the preparation mode and other than CZ, the first advantageous RT is not controlled. In addition, even if the special game is stopped in the first advantageous RT, the number of games that have been digested is not reset and is continuously counted from the number of games that have been digested so far, and the control to the first advantageous RT is maintained. The

  When the stop switches 8L to 8R are operated in a state where it is not recognized which of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, the winning nine winning combination is 1/3 × 1/3 = With a probability of 1/9, the prize is won, and with the other 8/9, it cannot be drawn and the special event is stopped.

  Nine-piece combinations (1) to (9) are navigation target combinations in which a navigation effect corresponding to the selected type is executed on condition that the combination is an AT described above. For this reason, when it is AT, as described above, information corresponding to the winning nine winning combination is notified. Thereby, in the AT, the player can recognize the type of the winning 9-card combination, and the stop switch 8L can be used either at the timing of winning the notified 9-card combination or at the timing of missing and stopping the special game. ~ 8R can be manipulated intentionally. As a result, when nine winning combinations are won, the stop operation can be performed at a timing that is advantageous to the player according to the gaming state. That is, when it is CZ, the first advantageous RT can be intentionally controlled, and when it is RT, the 9-piece combination can be intentionally won.

  On the other hand, in the case of non-AT, even when nine winning combinations are won, the navigation effect is not executed, so that the stop operation cannot be intentionally performed at a timing that is advantageous to the player. For this reason, when it is CZ, it is not possible to intentionally miss the 9-piece combination and stop the special outcome, miss the opportunity to control to the first advantageous RT, and as a result, there is a possibility of winning the fall replay in CZ It can be said that the possibility of being controlled to the normal gaming state increases. Further, when it is RT, it can be said that the 9-piece combination cannot be won intentionally, and the possibility of losing the 9-piece combination increases. In this way, depending on whether the performance state is AT or not, it is possible to increase the difference in the degree of advantage of the player and to increase the expectation for winning the AT in the AT lottery. Can improve the interest of the game.

  Next, the internal lottery will be described. In the internal lottery, the variable display device 2 determines whether or not each of the winning combinations described above is permitted, that is, whether or not the symbol combination that generates the winning combination is allowed to perform control for aligning with any winning line. Is determined before the display result is derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is operated). In the internal lottery, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired from the random number generation circuit 42. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the obtained random number for internal lottery, the gaming state, and the determination value of each winning combination determined according to the set value set by the reset / setting switch 38 Depending on the number.

  Here, a lottery target combination determined for each gaming state as an internal lottery target and the number of determination values of the lottery target combination will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing each lottery target combination and the number of determination values acquired based on the gaming state and the set value. The lottery object combination and the number of determination values shown in FIG. 7 are stored in a predetermined storage area allocated to the ROM 41b, for example. In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined for the lottery subject in accordance with the game state is sequentially added to the random number for internal lottery extracted at the start of the game, and the result of the addition overflows a predetermined value (for example, 65536). Sometimes, it is determined that the winning combination for the lottery is won. If the winning combination is determined, the winning flag for the winning combination is set in the RAM 41c.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a lottery target combination and the number of determination values that are internally drawn when the gaming state is the normal gaming state. In the normal gaming state, the lottery target is the big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + fall replay, big bonus (2) + fall replay, normal replay, normal replay + Tumble Replay, Normal Replay + Tumble Replay + BAR Replay, Normal Replay + Promotion Replay (1), Normal Replay + Promotion Replay (2), Normal Replay + Promotion Replay (3), Strawberry (1) + Strawberry (2), Melon , 9 role (1), 9 role (2), 9 role (3), 9 role (4), 9 role (5), 9 role (6), 9 role (7), The nine-piece combination (8) and the nine-piece combination (9) are sequentially read as lottery targets. Note that “+” is written between winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is read out simultaneously in the internal lottery. For example, in the case of “normal replay + falling replay”, it indicates that in the internal lottery, the normal replay and the falling replay are simultaneously read out as the lottery target combination.

  When the set value is 1, when “60” is the regular bonus when the target of the internal lottery is the big bonus (1), “60” is the regular bonus. When “100” is big bonus (1) + falling replay, “20” is “big bonus (2) + falling replay”, “20” is normal replay, and “7281” is “1820” is normal replay + falling replay, “0” is normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay, “0” is normal replay + promotion replay (1), “0” is normal replay + “0” when promotion replay (2), “0” when normal replay + promotion replay (3), “700” when strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) Is "6000" when it is Ron, is "1000" when either of nine combination (1) to (9), is obtained as the determination value of the number. FIG. 7A also shows the number of determination values of each lottery object combination acquired in the internal lottery when the set value is 2 to 4.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the larger the value set as the set value, the larger the number of determination values acquired in the internal lottery for the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus. Yes. As a result, the larger the set value, the higher the probability of winning the special combination in the internal lottery.

  FIGS. 7B to 7E show when the game state is the preparation mode, RT, CZ, and internal medium RT, and normal replay, normal replay + fall replay, and normal replay + fall replay in the internal lottery. + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay (1), normal replay + promotion replay (2), normal replay + promotion replay (3) showing the number of determination values acquired when each of them is read as a lottery target role It is.

  When the game state is the preparation mode, RT, CZ, internal RT, normal replay, normal replay + fall replay, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay (1), normal replay + promotion The number of determination values acquired in each of the replay (2), normal replay + promotion replay (3) other than the lottery is the same as the number of determination values shown in FIG. That is, the number of determination values of each lottery target combination acquired in the internal lottery when the game state is the preparation mode, RT, CZ, or internal RT is the normal replay, normal replay + falling shown in FIG. Replay, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay (1), normal replay + promotion replay (2), normal replay + promotion replay (3) Normal replay, normal replay + fall replay, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay (1), normal replay + promotion replay (2), normal replay + promotion replay shown in 7 (b) to (d) (3) It is replaced with the number of judgment values acquired in each internal lottery.

  In addition, when the internal RT is already set, any bonus winning flag such as big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus, etc. has already been set. Even in such a case, the already set bonus winning flag is maintained, and the winning bonus winning flag is not reset or updated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the bonus from being drawn and won again in the internal RT that has already won the bonus.

  FIG. 7B shows a case where the game state is a preparation mode controlled after the bonus is over, and is acquired in the internal lottery of each of the normal replay, the fall replay, the BAR replay, and the promoted replay (1) to (3). FIG. For example, when the set value is 1 to 4 and the target role of the internal lottery is normal replay, “9101” is normal replay + fall replay, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay ( 1) “0” is acquired as the number of determination values when each of normal replay + promotion replay (2) and normal replay + promotion replay (3). Thus, in the preparation mode, the number of determination values is set so that the fall replay is not won separately from the bonus and is not won for the promotion replay.

  FIG.7 (c) is when the gaming state is the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, and is acquired in the internal lottery of each of the normal replay, the fall replay, the BAR replay, and the promoted replay (1) to (3). It is a figure which shows the number of judgment values made. For example, when the set value is 1 to 4 and the target role of the internal lottery is normal replay, “50412” is normal replay + fall replay, normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay, normal replay + promotion replay ( 1) “0” is acquired as the number of determination values when each of normal replay + promotion replay (2) and normal replay + promotion replay (3).

  Therefore, in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, the number of determination values is set so that the fall replay is not won separately from the bonus and the promotion replay is not won.

  The winning rate of the normal replay in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT is 50412 / 65536≈1 / 1.3. In the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, the number of determination values is set so as not to win the fall replay and the promotion replay.

  In this embodiment, an example in which the winning rate of the normal replay in the first advantageous RT is the same as the winning rate of the normal replay in the second advantageous RT will be described. The number of normal replay determination values may be set so that the winning rate is different between the first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT.

  FIG. 7D is a diagram showing the number of determination values acquired in the internal lottery in each of the normal replay, the fall replay, the BAR replay, and the promoted replay (1) to (3) when the gaming state is CZ. It is. For example, when the set value is 1 to 4, “13942” is “normal replay + falling replay” when the target of the internal lottery is normal replay, and “13107” is normal replay + falling replay + BAR. When replaying, “13107” is normal replay + promotion replay (1), “3120” is normal replay + promotion replay (2), and “3120” is normal replay + promotion replay ( In the case of 3), “3120” is acquired as the number of determination values.

  Therefore, the winning rate of normal replay in CZ is (13942 +13107 +13107 +3120 +3120 +3120) /65536≈1/1.3. In addition, the winning rate of the fall replay is (13107 + 13107) /65536≈1/2.5. The winning rate of promotion replay is (3120 + 3120 + 3120) / 65536≈1 / 7. In CZ, the number of determination values is set so that the player can win both the promotion replay and the fall replay.

  FIG. 7 (e) shows a case where the gaming state is an internal medium RT controlled from when the bonus is won internally until winning, and normal replay, falling replay, BAR replay, promotion replay (1) to (3) ) It is a figure which shows the number of judgment values acquired in each internal lottery. For example, when the set value is 1 to 4, “10000” is “normal replay + fall replay” when the target of the internal lottery is normal replay, and “5000” is normal replay + fall replay + BAR. When replaying, “5000” is acquired as the number of determination values.

  FIG. 7F is a diagram showing the number of determination values of each lottery target combination acquired in the internal lottery when the gaming state is a bonus. When the gaming state is a bonus, the lottery target roles are all nine (1) to (9) (all nine types (1) to (9)), strawberry (1), strawberry (1 ) + Strawberry (2), Melon, Nine (1), Nine (2), Nine (3), Nine (4), Nine (5), Nine (6) , 9-piece combination (7), 9-piece combination (8), and 9-piece combination (9) are sequentially read as lottery targets.

  Then, when the set value is 1, “55935” when the target combination of the internal lottery is all nine (1) to (9) and “200” when the combination is strawberry (1), (1) + “strawberry” (2), “100” is determined, “3000” is determined, and “700” is determined when any of the nine roles (1) to (9) is selected. Get as number of values. FIG. 7 (f) also shows the number of determination values for each lottery target combination acquired in the internal lottery when the set value is 2 to 4. From the number of determination values shown in FIG. 7 (f), when the gaming state is bonus, all nine winning combinations (1) to (9) are won with high probability.

Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.
The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts rotating and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to, and the referred stop control table is drawn. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even if the winning status of the combination is different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of frames to be drawn according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the stop status of the reels and the stop position of the stopped reels are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of frames to be pulled in at each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, and these areas are set to 0 to 20 (see FIG. 3) is assigned.

  On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of drawn frames by area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of drawn frames by area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number has a stop reference position (in this embodiment, a perspective window). 3 when the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected at the timing (the timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps). This is a table in which the number of frames is set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the obtained table creation data, and the address of the stop control table for the unreacted reel corresponding to the stop reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table of each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. .

  If any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively, the area number of the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. And the number of drawn frames corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of drawn frames until it is stopped is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. Thereby, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of frames to be drawn in from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 The lower symbol area).

  In the table index of the present embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of drawn frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of four symbols after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the winning combination is drawn not to be aligned on the winning line. Create a stop control table with the number of frames to be drawn in and perform reel stop control. If none of the roles are won, stop control with a number of frames to be drawn that does not match any of the roles A table is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line within the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If the winning combination is not drawn, it will be controlled so that it can be stopped in a drawing range of up to 4 frames.

  If a special role has been carried over from before the previous game and a small role (such as strawberry (1), melon, 9-card role (1)) is won, etc., the winning small role will be 4 frames on the winning line. The number of draws is determined so that the maximum number of draws can be drawn in the range, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn into the winning line in the range of up to 4 frames, the selected special role is 4 in the winning line. A stop control table in which the number of frames to be drawn is determined so that the maximum number of frames can be drawn within the frame range is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop them, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within the 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the normal small combination cannot be drawn. As a result, after winning a small role and then winning a special role, the special role is won, and compared to the case where the special role is preferentially won, Since the special combination can be won, the player's medal can be increased as much as possible before the special combination is won, and reel control advantageous to the player is performed.

  For example, when a special combination and a melon with a payout number of more than 3 are selected, reel control is performed preferentially, which is a 6-plus increase by winning a special combination before winning the special combination, which is advantageous to the player. . When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the small combination.

  In the reel control, an example is described in which reel control is performed in which a small role is preferentially aligned on a winning line over a special role. However, not all small roles are preferentially aligned over a special role. A small role in which medals greater than or equal to the number of wagers are paid out (in the case of 3 bets, a small role in which 3 or more medals are paid out, for example, a melon that pays out 9 medals by winning, 9), etc. (hereinafter also referred to as a normal small combination), the reel control is preferentially arranged, and a small combination in which medals less than the bet number are paid out (when the bet number is 3, small medals less than 3 are paid out) For a combination, for example, when a single combination that pays out one medal by winning is set as a winning combination, the special combination is given priority on the winning line. It may be configured to perform the reel control to align. Thereby, even if winning is made, it is possible to prevent the reel control from being preferentially aligned even for the small role that is disadvantageous for the player because the payout is less than the bet amount.

  Next, when a re-playing role is won in a state where the special role has been carried over from before the previous game (such as big bonus (1) + normal replay), or when a special role and re-playing role are won simultaneously (big If a special role and a re-playing role are won at the same time, such as bonus (1) + falling replay), the number of draws will be increased so that the winning re-playing role is drawn to the winning line within a maximum of 4 frames. A predetermined stop control table is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  When multiple types of re-game players are simultaneously elected, and the winning role includes a fall replay, as shown in FIG. Replays determined according to whether the operated reel (the first stopped reel) is the left reel, middle reel, or right reel is aligned on the winning line with a maximum of 4 frames. Control to stop. FIG. 8A is a diagram for explaining the reel control when winning the fall replay.

  For example, when the normal replay + falling replay is won and the right reel 2R is stopped for the first time, the combination of the falling replays among the selected replaying players is controlled to be aligned with any winning line. As shown in FIG. 3, symbols constituting the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 7 frames or less on each reel, and L1 to L6 are set as the winning lines, so that the normal replay + fall fall replay is won. When the right reel 2R is stopped for the first time in this case, the reel control is performed so that the falling replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  On the other hand, when the normal replay + falling replay is won and the left reel 2L or the middle reel 2C is stopped for the first time, the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned on any winning line and stopped. To control. As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 7 frames or less on each reel, and L1 to L6 are set as the winning lines, so that the normal replay + falling replay is won. When the left reel 2L or the middle reel 2C is stopped for the first time, the reel control is performed so that the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. .

  In addition, when normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won and the left reel 2L or the middle reel 2C is stopped for the first time, the combination of the falling replays among the selected replaying players is aligned with any winning line. Control to stop. For this reason, if the left reel 2L or the middle reel 2C is stopped for the first time when the normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won, the fall falls regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Reel control is performed so that the replay always wins.

  On the other hand, when the normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won and the right reel 2R is stopped for the first time, the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is stopped on any winning line. To do. Therefore, when the right reel 2R is first stopped when the normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won, the normal replay is always won regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Thus, the reel control is performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first stop reel for avoiding the falling replay winning and the normal replay winning depending on whether the normal replay + falling replay is won or whether the normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won. The operating procedure (avoidance procedure) can be made different by making it different.

  Further, when the fall replay is won when the production state is not AT, the type of replay won at the same time as the fall replay cannot be specified. For this reason, the normal replay winning is avoided by avoiding the falling replay winning with a probability of 1/2, but the falling replay is won with the remaining 1/2 probability.

  On the other hand, when the fall state replay is won when the production state is AT, the type of replay won at the same time as the fall replay can be specified. Therefore, as long as the operation is not mistaken, the first stop can be made so as to always avoid the fall replay winning and to make the normal replay winning.

  As described above, since the win rate of the fall replay per game when in the CZ is 1 / 2.5, the winning rate of the fall replay is 1/5 in consideration of the reel control.

  In the case where a plurality of types of re-playing players are simultaneously elected and when the winning combination includes a promotion replay, the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2L have the same configuration pattern in the normal replay and the promotion replay. The reel control is performed so that the “banana” symbol is drawn and stopped on the winning line, and the composition symbol of the promotion replay selected among “BAR”, “Red 7”, and “White 7” on the right reel 2R is displayed on the winning line. In order to stop at a maximum of 4 frames, and if it is impossible to draw the promoted replay components on the winning line, the reel will be drawn to stop the normal replay “banana” on the winning line. Be controlled.

  As a result, when the normal replay and any one of the promoted replays (1) to (3) are won at the same time, the configuration symbols on the right reel 2R of the selected promoted replay can be drawn onto the winning line. When the stop switch 8R is operated, the winning promotion replay is won, and when the stop switch 8R is operated at a timing at which it is impossible to draw the constituent symbols in the right reel 2R of the winning promotion replay onto the winning line. The reel is controlled to win the normal replay that is won simultaneously.

  Further, when the promotion replay is won when the production state is not AT, the type of the promoted replay that has been won cannot be specified. Therefore, as described above, the promotion replay elected with a probability of 1/3 is won and controlled to the second advantageous RT, and the promotion replay elected with a probability of 2/3 is missed and promoted to the second advantageous RT. Will be missed.

  On the other hand, when the promotion replay is won when the production state is AT, the type of the promoted replay that has been won can be specified. For this reason, as long as the operation timing is not mistaken, the promotion replay can be won and the player can be promoted to the second advantageous RT.

  As described above, since the total of the winning percentages for winning one of the promotion replays (1) to (3) per game when in the CZ is 1/7, the promotion is considered in consideration of the reel control. The replay winning rate is 1/7 × 1/3 = 1/21.

  In the case of CZ, the special advantage is stopped by losing the nine-piece combination when the nine-piece combination is won, thereby controlling the first advantageous RT. In the state where the winning combination cannot be identified, the 9-game winning combination cannot be drawn with a probability of 8/9 as described above, and the special roll is stopped. In addition, since the total winning rate for winning one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) per game during CZ is about 1 / 7.3, considering the reel control The stopping rate at which the special outcome is stopped is 1 / 7.3 × 8 / 9≈1 / 8.2.

  On the other hand, when it is CZ and AT, it is possible to specify the type of the winning 9-piece combination, so it is possible to intentionally miss out on the 9-piece combination and stop the special outcome, and shift to the first advantageous RT It can be made easy.

  Here, the winning rate of the fall replay when the player is in the CZ and not in AT, the winning rate of the promotion replay, and the special outcome stop rate are compared. As described above, the winning rate for the fall replay is 1/5, the winning rate for the promotion replay is 1/21, and the special outcome stop rate is 1 / 8.2. For this reason, when CZ and non-AT, the probability of winning the fall replay is the highest, the probability of the special event being stopped next is high, and the probability of winning the promotion replay is the lowest Has been. In addition, the winning rate of the fall replay is set to be higher than the total rate of the winning rate of the promotion replay and the stop rate of the special appearance. For this reason, when the player is CZ and not in AT, the possibility of winning the fall replay before the promotion replay winning or the special event stop is increased, so that it is easily controlled to the normal gaming state and difficult to be controlled by RT. Can do.

  When multiple types of small roles are won at the same time (strawberry (1) + strawberry (2), all nine roles (1) to (9), etc.), the winning line will be displayed according to the timing of the stop operation. In addition, the symbols that make up the winning small combination that can be pulled in within the maximum four-frame drawing range are aligned and stopped. When all 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) are won, any one of the combinations of 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) shown in FIG. Reel control is performed to win a prize. When winning strawberry (1) + strawberry (2), either one of the symbol combinations of strawberry (1) and strawberry (2) shown in FIG. 5 will be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Reel control is performed.

  In this embodiment, when winning a strawberry, reel control is performed to draw the symbols constituting the winning strawberry for the left reel 2L on the winning line in a drawing range of up to 4 frames, and a special reel is used for the middle reel 2C. Reel control is performed. FIG. 8B is a diagram for explaining the special reel control of the middle reel 2C when winning a strawberry.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), symbol number 5 is provided on condition that at least strawberry (1) is won (strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) winning or strawberry (1) alone winning). Special reel control is performed to draw the “Deca (1) (upper half of the star without slashes)” to the middle in the drawing range of up to 4 frames. In addition, on the condition that strawberry (2) is selected (strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) selected), the symbol “Deca (2) (the lower half of the star without diagonal lines)” of symbol number 4 Special reel control is performed to pull in the middle stage with a maximum of 4 frames. When winning the strawberry (2), if the symbol number 4 and the symbol number 5 can be drawn to the middle in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the symbol number 4 symbol Special reel control is performed in which the number 5 symbol is given priority over the middle stage. When the strawberry is not won, the reel control for stopping the symbols other than the symbols of symbols 4 and 5 on the middle reel 2C in the middle, except for the case where the reel control for generating another winning combination is performed. Done.

  For this reason, when the stop operation is performed so as to stop the middle reel 2L at the timing when the symbol of symbol number 4 is stopped in the middle row, the symbol of symbol number 4 stops in the middle row and other than strawberry (1) and strawberry (2) The player can recognize that the strawberry (2) has been won when the winning of the role of is not generated, the symbol of the symbol number 5 stops in the middle, and the strawberry (1) and strawberry (2 ) When the winning of a role other than) has not occurred, the player can recognize that at least strawberry (1) has been won, and when the other symbols are stopped in the middle row, the strawberry is won. It is possible to make the player recognize that it was not.

  Note that when the strawberry (1) or strawberry (2) is won during the bonus, the notification promotion condition is established. For this reason, in the middle reel 2C, the fact that the symbol number 4 or 5 is stopped in the middle stage and the winning of the role other than the strawberry (1) and the strawberry (2) does not occur is informed that the notification promotion condition is established. can do.

  In addition, when a strawberry (1) or strawberry (2) is won other than the bonus, an AT lottery is performed. In addition, when the strawberry (1) or the strawberry (2) is won in the high probability state, points are awarded. For this reason, in the middle reel 2C, the symbol number 4 or 5 is stopped in the middle stage, and winning of a role other than strawberry (1) and strawberry (2) does not occur, thereby improving the sense of expectation for AT. it can.

  Next, processing executed by the main control unit 41 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the slot machine 1, the game is progressed by repeatedly performing the game process one game at a time. For this purpose, the game must be in a state where the game can be progressed first. In order to be able to advance the game, for example, the set value work is stored in the set value work with the set value in the normal range with the main control unit 41 including the main CPU 41a activated, and the data stored in the RAM 41c. The condition is that there is no abnormality. When the game is ready to proceed, game processing is repeated in the slot machine 1 game by game. Hereinafter, each game in the slot machine 1 will be described. The “game” in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, a period from when the start switch 7 is operated to when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. Since the setting of the bet number before the operation of No. 7 and the payout of medals and the transition of the gaming state are performed after the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped, these incidental processes are also included in the “game” in a broad sense. And

  The game control process is also executed after the power is turned on and a predetermined boot process is performed, or immediately after the setting is changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. When processing of one game is started, first, the number of bets is set by operating the one-sheet BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 or by inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 4, and operating the start switch 7. A BET process for instructing the substantial start of the game is performed. If the player has won a replay in the previous game, the same number of bets as in the previous game (3 in this embodiment) is automatically set by the flag during the replay game (the flag during the replay game is deleted at this stage) ). In the BET process, every time a bet number is set, a BET command that can specify the number of medals used for setting the bet number is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  When the number of bets is set by BET processing and the start switch 7 is operated, a random number for internal lottery is extracted, and winnings for each combination determined according to the gaming state are allowed based on the extracted random number value. A lottery process is performed to determine whether or not to do so. In the lottery process, an internal winning command indicating the setting status of the winning flag set in the RAM 41c according to the lottery result is transmitted to the effect control board 90. Further, in the lottery process, when one of the big bonuses (1), (2), and the regular bonus is won, a process for controlling the internal medium RT (for example, the value of the game state flag is set to the value of the internal medium RT flag). Set value etc.).

When the lottery process is completed, the reel rotation process is performed next. In reel rotation process, the reel 2L in the previous game, 2C, time one game timer start of the rotation of 2R is counting a predetermined time (e.g., 4.1 sec) on the condition that it is passed through, the reel motor 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven to start rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. When a predetermined condition (detection of the reference position by the reel sensors 33SL, 33SC, 33SR after the rotation speed reaches a constant speed) is established from the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R Is enabled. Thereafter, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by the player, the driving of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stopped, and the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped. In the reel rotation process, a reel rotation command for notifying the start of reel rotation is transmitted to the effect control board 90 when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, and rotation of any one of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped. Each time, a reel stop command capable of specifying the area number of the corresponding stop operation position of the corresponding reel is transmitted to the effect control board 90 to determine which reel has been stopped.

  When the driving of each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped, a winning determination process for determining whether or not any of the symbols shown in FIG. 5A is derived and displayed on the winning line in the display result at the time of stopping. Is done. If it is determined in this winning determination process that any combination has been won, various processes corresponding to the winnings generated on the game control board 40 are performed. In the winning determination process, after the winning determination is made, a winning determination command capable of specifying the presence / absence of the winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out is sent to the effect control board 90. In the winning determination process, when it is determined that one of the big bonuses (1), (2), or the regular bonus is won, a process for controlling the corresponding bonus (for example, the value of the game state flag is set). The corresponding bonus value is set).

  Also, in the winning determination process, when it is determined that the player has won the fall replay during CZ, a process for controlling to the normal gaming state (for example, setting the value of the normal gaming state to the value of the gaming state flag) ) Is performed. When it is determined that the promotion replay has been won during the CZ, a process for controlling to the second advantageous RT (for example, setting the value of the second advantageous RT as the value of the gaming state flag) is performed. It is. Further, when it is determined that no winning has occurred in the preparation mode or in the CZ and the special event is stopped in any of the winning lines L1 to L6, the first advantageous RT is controlled. Processing (for example, setting the value of the first advantageous RT as the value of the gaming state flag) is performed.

  Even if a fall replay prize, a promotion replay prize, or a special event is stopped in the internal RT, the internal RT is maintained without being controlled by the corresponding gaming state. Further, the internal lottery in the preparation mode is configured so that the fall replay is won only at the same time as the bonus but is not won separately separately from the bonus. For this reason, in the game started in the preparation mode, when the fall replay wins, the bonus is also won at the same time and the internal RT is controlled. As a result, the game started in the preparation mode is not controlled to the normal gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, nine winning combinations (1) to (9) that trigger special special event suspension are read out independently as other lottery winning combinations without being read out as the lottery target combination, and the internal winning combination is made. Is done. For this reason, when the special game stops, no winnings can occur. However, the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) that trigger the special event stop may be read out as a lottery target combination at the same time as other winning combinations, and an internal winning may be performed. In this case, there is a possibility that another winning combination won at the same time may occur even when the special event stops. If the special event is stopped and a winning of another winning combination occurs, the profit associated with the occurrence of the winning of the other winning combination is given and further special stopping is stopped in the preparation mode or CZ May be controlled to the first advantageous RT.

  When the winning determination process ends, a payout process is performed. In the payout process, medals are paid out or credits are added according to the number of payouts set in the winning determination process. However, when the number of credits accumulated as data reaches 50, the hopper motor 34b is driven to pay out an excess number of medals from the medal payout opening 9. Also, in the payout process, when the payout of medals is started by payout of winnings or credits (including medals used for setting the number of bets), a payout start command for notifying the start of payout of medals is sent to the effect control board 90. When the medal payout by winning and winning the credit is completed, a payout end command for notifying the end of the medal payout is transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  In the payout process, a bonus end determination process for determining whether or not a bonus end condition corresponding to the bonus is satisfied during the bonus is performed as various processes not related to winning. In the bonus end determination process, when it is determined that the bonus end condition is satisfied, a process for controlling to the preparation mode (for example, setting the value of the preparation mode flag to the value of the gaming state flag) is performed.

  In the payout process, a chance zone condition determination process is performed to determine whether or not a chance zone condition to be controlled to CZ is satisfied by digesting the specified number of games according to the gaming state. Specifically, when it is the first advantageous RT, it is determined whether or not 100 games have been consumed, when it is the second advantageous RT, it is determined whether or not 30 games have been consumed, and when it is in the normal gaming state, It is determined whether 1000 games have been consumed. When the chance zone condition determination process determines that the chance zone condition is satisfied, a process for controlling to CZ (for example, setting the value of CZ as the value of the gaming state flag) is performed.

  In the payout process, the game state of the next game (normal game state, preparation mode, CZ, first advantageous RT, second advantageous RT, big bonus, A game state command that can specify whether the game is in a regular bonus or the like is being transmitted to the effect control board 90.

  Also, in the payout process, a winning flag that does not carry over (e.g., a winning flag for a small role or a replaying player) is deleted, and a winning flag for a big bonus or a regular bonus stored in a special work is not deleted. As a result, the winning flags for the big bonus and the regular bonus are carried over to the next game until the winning bonus is won. At the end of the payout process, that is, at the end of one game, a game state command indicating the game state of the next game is sent to the effect control board 90. Then, the process for one game ends, and the process for the next one game starts.

  In the repetition of the game as described above, the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 has a game state among the preparation mode, CZ, first advantageous RT, second advantageous RT, normal gaming state, internal RT, and bonus. Transition is performed and a command is transmitted to the effect control board 90 according to the progress of the game. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 of the effect control board 90 performs various processes based on the command received from the game control board 40.

  Next, processing executed by the sub control unit 91 will be described. The sub-control unit 91 first executes a predetermined effect initial setting process, and after performing an effect control restoration process for restoring the control state in the effect control board 90 to the state at the time of power supply stop, Repeat the update process.

  In the sub-control unit 91, an interrupt for controlling the progress of the effect is generated at a predetermined time interval (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the timer interrupt flag of the RAM 91c is set to the ON state by the reset / interrupt controller. Then, the effect control interruption process is executed. In the effect control interrupt process, the contents of the internal register are saved, the effect backup process is executed, and when the sub control unit 91 is restarted, the data required for restoring the control state before the restart is backed up. Is done. Further, command analysis processing for analyzing various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 is executed, and predetermined effect control processing is executed. By this effect control process, various game effects are performed by displaying images on the liquid crystal display 51 and generating sounds from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the progress of the game in the slot machine 1.

  The game effects include a game condition effect according to the game state, a high probability state, a point giving effect for notifying that a point has been awarded in the bonus, and a navigation effect executed when the effect state is controlled by the AT. In addition, an expectation effect that makes the player have a sense of expectation for winning the bonus or executing the AT lottery is included. Note that image element data and moving image data for performing a game effect are stored in a predetermined ROM 91b.

  In order to perform a game effect, the RAM 91c of the sub-control unit 91 has various counters, areas for setting various flags, a game state command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, and an internal winning command. The area for storing the winning status, the combination of the display results derived to the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the information indicating whether or not a winning has occurred, and the gaming state applied in the game running on the gaming control board 40 side (The winning situation and the game state are twice) are also provided in the RAM 91c.

  Further, in the effect control board 90, a stop symbol table for determining the display result of the variable display device 2 based on the reel stop command is provided in the RAM 91c. However, since the reel stop command includes only the type of the stopped reel and the number of the symbol stopped in the middle as information, it is not possible to determine what symbol is stopped by this alone. For this reason, the ROM 91b stores in advance a table showing all symbols arranged on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. With reference to this table, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped on the stop symbol table. The symbol is registered. The sub-control unit 91 produces an effect based on the registration information of the stop symbol table.

  In addition, various random values counted by a random number circuit (not shown) or the like are updated on the side of the effect control board 90, and then the contents of the saved register are restored, and then the effect control interrupt process ends.

  In the effect control process executed in the effect control interrupt process described above, the sub-control unit 91 assigns / manages the probability state control process for controlling the probability state as shown in FIG. A point related process for notification, an AT control process for controlling the effect state to the AT according to the game state, and a game effect execution process for executing the game effect according to the game state and the like are performed.

  The sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment performs a game state effect execution process included in the game effect execution process, thereby providing a game state effect related to the current game state and the effect state on the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect. This is performed using electrical components such as the LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55.

  As the game state effect, for example, in the normal game state and the preparation mode, a normal effect (for example, a message such as “Normally!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51) that can specify that it is non-AT is performed. It is. In addition, the above-described normal performance is also performed when CZ, the first advantageous RT, the second advantageous RT, and the internal medium RT are in the non-AT state (when the AT flag is not set). For this reason, when it is non-AT, a common gaming state effect is executed in the gaming state other than the bonus. As a result, it is difficult to specify which gaming state is controlled from the gaming state effect.

  In addition, when the AT is set (when the AT flag is set), an AT effect (for example, “on the liquid crystal display 51” can be specified) regardless of the gaming state being controlled. A message such as “At AT!” Is displayed). Thus, when it is AT, a common gaming state effect is executed. As a result, although it is possible to specify whether or not the AT is in progress from the gaming state effect, for example, the game is controlled to be controlled among CZ, first advantageous RT, second advantageous RT, internal RT, and preparation mode. It can be made difficult to specify from the state effect. In addition, when the bonus is being performed, a predetermined bonus effect that can specify that the bonus is being performed is performed.

  Next, AT lottery will be described. The sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment performs the first AT lottery by executing the first AT lottery process included in the AT control process. In the first AT lottery process, when it is determined that a strawberry or bonus has been won based on the internal winning command from the main control unit 41, the probability according to the total number of points actually given after the previous first AT lottery is determined. Therefore, the first AT lottery is executed. Strawberries and bonuses are also referred to as lottery triggers because they trigger the first AT lottery.

  Further, in the first AT lottery process, when it is determined that the bonus is ended based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, the first AT lottery is executed according to the probability corresponding to the total number of points given in the bonus. Is done.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining lottery conditions that trigger the execution of the first AT lottery. FIGS. 10 and 11 are diagrams for explaining tables referred to in the first AT lottery.

  In the first AT lottery, as shown in FIG. 9, when it is determined that the lottery opportunity combination is won, the lottery opportunity combination winning table shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and when it is determined that the bonus has ended, it is shown in FIG. With reference to the bonus end time table, the number of navigation stocks is determined according to the probability corresponding to the total number of points awarded. Whether or not a strawberry win or a bonus win is determined by an internal winning command from the main control unit 41, for example. Further, whether or not the bonus has ended is specified from a gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates a period during which the AT can be controlled. By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the game is controlled by the AT while the game is consumed a predetermined number of times (for example, 50), and the navigation effect can be executed. Accordingly, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period.

  In the present embodiment, the AT is controlled according to the total number of navigation stocks already held, the number of navigation stocks determined in the first AT lottery, and the number of navigation stocks determined in the second AT lottery. Is done. The total number of navigation stocks is specified by the navigation stock number information. The navigation stock number information is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and is updated according to the AT lottery result and the control to the AT in the AT control process. That is, the sub-control unit 91 performs processing for adding and updating the navigation stock number information when the navigation stock number is acquired by AT lottery, and performing processing for subtracting 1 from the navigation stock when starting AT. Do. The sub-control unit 91 controls the AT when the number of navigation stocks specified from the navigation stock number information in the RAM 91c is 1 or more during non-AT and a predetermined AT activation timing described later is reached.

  In the first AT lottery, the case where the lottery opportunity winning table shown in FIG. 10 is referred will be described. The lottery opportunity combination winning table in the present embodiment has a plurality of ratios for acquiring the navigation stock and the ratio for acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks depending on the gaming state when the lottery opportunity combination is won. Types are provided.

  FIG. 10A is a diagram for explaining a lottery opportunity combination winning table that is referred to when a lottery opportunity combination is won in the preparation mode or the normal gaming state. The total number of granted points that have been awarded in addition to the bonus and that have been granted since the last 1st AT lottery until the current lottery win (hereinafter also referred to as the total number of normal granted points) is “0 to 2”. When it is, the number of Navistock is determined to be 0 at a rate of 80%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 1 at a rate of 10%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 3 at a rate of 5%, and the rate is 2% The first AT lottery at the time of the lottery campaign will be decided so that the number of Navistock will be determined as 5, the number of Navistock will be determined as 10 at the rate of 2% and the number of Navistock will be determined as 20 at the rate of 1% Is done. As will be described later, the upper limit of the total number of normal granted points is set to “10”. In addition, the total number of points awarded includes points awarded by winning the strawberry when the lottery trigger is a strawberry.

  Note that the expected value of the number of navigation stocks may be an average value of the number of navigation stocks to be acquired, and the number of navigation stocks D1, D2, D3,... That can be acquired (for example, navigation in FIG. 1, 3, 5, 10, 20) are set as the number of stocks, and the grant rates P1, P2, P3... (For example, the winning rate in FIG. 10) are set for each point amount. , D1 × P1 + D2 × P2 + D3 × P3 +... For example, when the total number of normal granted points shown in FIG. 10A is “0 to 2”, the expected value of the number of navigation stocks is 1 × 0.1 + 3 × 0.05 + 5 × 0.02 + 10 × 0.02 + 20 × 0. It can be said that .01 = 0.75 is set.

  When the total number of granted points is “3-5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 30%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 30%, and the number of navigation stocks is a rate of 20%. Is determined to be 3, the number of Navistock is determined to be 5 at a rate of 15%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 20 at a rate of 2% The first AT lottery at the time of winning the lottery opportunity is performed.

  When the total number of granted points is “6-9”, the number of navigation stocks is determined as 1 at 42%, the number of navigation stocks is determined as 3 at 30%, and the number of navigation stocks as 20%. 5 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 5%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 3%.

  When the total number of granted points is “10”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 40%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 30%, and the number of navigation stocks is 10 at a rate of 15%. The first AT lottery at the time of winning the lottery opportunity is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 15%.

  FIG. 10B is a view for explaining a lottery opportunity combination winning table that is referred to when a lottery opportunity combination is won in the CZ. When the total number of granted points is “0-2”, the navigation stock number is determined to be 0 at 85%, the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at 7%, and the navigation stock number is at 4%. 3 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of granted points is “3-5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 40%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 35%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 20%. 3 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “6-9”, the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at 55%, the navigation stock number is determined to be 3 at 25%, and the navigation stock number is at 15%. 5 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “10”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 60%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 15%, and the number of navigation stocks is 10 at a rate of 13%. The first AT lottery at the time of winning the lottery opportunity is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 12%.

  FIG. 10C is a diagram for explaining a lottery opportunity combination winning table that is referred to when a lottery opportunity combination is won in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT. When the total number of granted points is “0-2”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 90%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 2% 3 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 2%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of granted points is “3-5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 50%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 30%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 15%. 3 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “6-9”, the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at 70%, the navigation stock number is determined to be 3 at 20%, and the navigation stock number is at 5%. 5 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “10”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 70%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 10%, and the number of navigation stocks is 10 at a rate of 10%. The first AT lottery at the time of the lottery opportunity winning is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 10%.

  As described above, in the lottery opportunity winning table shown in each of FIGS. 10A to 10C, the larger the total number of granted points, the higher the number of navigation stocks that is 1 or more and the higher the number of navigation stocks. In other words, the winning rate is set so that the AT lottery at the time of the lottery opportunity combination is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by increasing the expected value of the number of navigation stocks. Further, when the total number of granted points is 6 or more, the number of navigation stock is always determined to be 1 or more.

  Therefore, as the total number of granted points increases, the AT is controlled at a higher rate and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be higher at a higher rate. It can be said that the AT lottery will be performed. As a result, the greater the total number of points recognized by the player, the greater the sense of expectation that AT will be controlled and the acquisition of a larger number of navigation stocks, and the interest of the game will be improved. it can.

  In addition, as the lottery target winning table, when the table shown in FIG. 10B is referred to, the table shown in FIG. 10B is 1 or more at a higher rate than when the table shown in FIG. In addition, the winning rate is set so that the number of navigation stocks is larger. In addition, as the lottery target winning table, when the table shown in FIG. 10 (a) is referred to, it is 1 or more at a higher rate than when the table shown in FIG. 10 (b) is referred to. In addition, the winning rate is set so that the number of navigation stocks is larger. Therefore, when the game state when winning the lottery opportunity is in the preparation mode or the normal game state, the AT lottery will be the most advantageous for the player so that the expected value of the number of navigation stock is maximized In the game state other than the preparatory mode and the normal game state, the expected value of the number of navigation stocks is increased when the CZ is higher than the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT. It can be said that the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player. As a result, whether the gaming state when winning the lottery trigger is the preparation mode, the normal gaming state, or the CZ when expecting to be controlled by the AT and acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks Or, it can be made different depending on whether it is the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the order of the gaming state in which the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player is not limited to this, and any order may be used. For example, when the game state at the time of winning the lottery opportunity is CZ, the AT lottery is performed so that the expected value of the number of navigation stock is maximized and the player is most advantageous, and further preparations are made. The AT lottery will be more advantageous when the mode is more advantageous to the player by increasing the expected value of the number of navigation stocks than when the first advantageous RT, the second advantageous RT or the normal gaming state. You may comprise so that it may be performed.

  Next, the case where the bonus end time table shown in FIG. 11 is referred to in the first AT lottery will be described. If the total number of points granted during the bonus and the total number of points granted at the end of the bonus (hereinafter also referred to as the total number of bonus points granted) is “0 to 1”, the navigation stock has a ratio of 95%. The first AT lottery at the end of the bonus is performed so that the number is determined to be 0, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of bonus points awarded is “2-3”, the navigation stock number is determined to be 0 at a rate of 80%, the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at a rate of 15%, and the navigation stock is a rate of 4%. The first AT lottery at the end of the bonus is performed so that the number is determined to be 3 and the navigation stock number is determined to be 5 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of bonus points granted is “4”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 60%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 25%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined at a rate of 10%. The first AT lottery at the end of the bonus is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 5 at a rate of 4%, and the navigation stock number is determined to be 10 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of bonus points given is “5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 70%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 10%, and the number of navigation stocks is increased at a rate of 10%. The first AT lottery at the end of the bonus is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 20 at a rate of 10%. As will be described later, the upper limit of the total number of bonus points granted is set to “5”.

  As described above, in the bonus end table of FIG. 11, the larger the total number of bonus points granted, the higher the percentage of navigation stock that is determined to be 1 or more, that is, the more advantageous for the player. Thus, the first AT lottery at the end of the bonus is performed. Further, when the total number of bonus points awarded is 5, the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 3 or more. For this reason, when the total number of bonus points awarded is 5, the AT is always controlled after the bonus is over.

  Therefore, it can be said that the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by controlling the AT at a higher rate and determining the higher number of navigation stocks at a higher rate as the total number of bonus points granted increases. . As a result, the greater the total number of points recognized by the player, the greater the sense of expectation that AT will be controlled and the acquisition of a larger number of navigation stocks, and the interest of the game will be improved. it can. Further, even if the total number of points recognized by the player is small, the points are notified by performing a notification lottery as will be described later, so points that are greater than the total number of recognized points are actually given. There is a possibility that the expectation to be controlled by the AT and to obtain a larger number of navigation stocks can be sustained.

  As for the bonus end time table, similar to the lottery opportunity winning time table, there are provided a plurality of types of tables with different ratios controlled by AT and determined by a larger number of navigation stocks for each gaming state. May be. In this case, the first AT lottery at the end of the bonus may be performed with reference to a table corresponding to the gaming state when the completed bonus is won. Thereby, the expectation for being controlled by the AT and acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks can be varied depending on the gaming state when the bonus is won, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 by the first AT lottery process performed when the bonus is won or the bonus is ended by the sub-control unit 91. Done.

  The points related to the probability determined to be controlled by the AT in the first AT lottery are given and managed by the sub-control unit 91 by executing the point related processing included in the effect control processing. Further, the point-related processing is executed by the sub-control unit 91, whereby the above-described point giving effect is executed. FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining point-related processing executed by the sub-control unit 91.

  First, in S1, it is determined whether or not a predetermined point grant condition is satisfied. FIG. 13A is a diagram for explaining a point granting condition that can be established when the probability state is other than the bonus and the probability state is a high probability state, and FIG. 13B is a point that can be established during the bonus. It is a figure for demonstrating provision conditions.

  First, referring to FIG. 13A, when the player is in a state other than a bonus and in a high probability state, it is established on condition that a melon winning or a strawberry winning is made. More specifically, when a melon is won in a state other than a bonus and in a high probability state, the point granting condition is satisfied on the condition that, for example, a predetermined lottery using a random number extracted from a random counter is won. . For example, the probability of winning in the predetermined lottery is set to 25% when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, and is set to 50% when the gaming state is other than the normal gaming state. That is, even when the melon is won in the high probability state, the point granting condition is established at a higher rate when the game state is other than the normal game state than when the game state is the normal game state. Therefore, it can be said that the player is more advantageous when the player is in the preparation mode or RT, for example, than in the normal gaming state, in that the point granting condition is easily established.

  As will be described later, points that are awarded when the point granting condition is established by winning a melon when it is other than a bonus and in a high probability state can be notified according to the result of a predetermined notification lottery.

  In addition, when a strawberry is won in a high probability state other than the bonus, the point granting condition is always satisfied. For this reason, at least a predetermined number (for example, 1) of points has been awarded for points given when a strawberry is won and the point granting condition is satisfied when a high probability state other than a bonus is established, as will be described later. Will be informed.

  Next, referring to FIG. 13 (b), during the bonus, it is established on condition that a melon is won, or that nine winning combinations are won and won. More specifically, when a melon is won while a bonus is being awarded, for example, a point granting condition is established on the condition that the player wins by a predetermined lottery using a random number extracted from a random counter. The probability of winning in the predetermined lottery is set to 50%, for example.

  In addition, as will be described later, the points awarded when the point granting condition is established by winning a melon during the bonus can be notified according to the result of a predetermined notification lottery.

  In addition, when a bonus is being awarded, a point granting condition is always satisfied when a winning combination is won for nine winning combinations. As described later, at least a predetermined number (for example, 1) of points will be awarded for points awarded when a bonus is awarded and a point granting condition is established when a winning combination is awarded to nine winning combinations. You will be notified.

  In the present embodiment, when a bonus is being awarded, information that can specify that one of the nine winning combinations has been won is notified (for example, “9 winning combinations”). May be displayed). " Thereby, in the game in which the information is notified during the bonus, it is possible to add an interest such as predicting which 9 winning combinations the player has won.

  In addition, when the point granting condition is always satisfied by winning, it is not limited to notifying that a predetermined number of points have been granted, but accurately notifying the granted points determined in S2, which will be described later. May be.

  Returning to FIG. 12, if it is not determined in S1 that the point granting condition according to the state shown in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1 that the point granting condition is satisfied, in S2, a grant point that can be given to the player is set.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a table for determining the grant points in S2. When the point granting condition is established when the bonus is not included, as shown in the non-bonus column in FIG. 14, the point is determined to be 1 point at a rate of 50% and to 2 points at a rate of 20%. It is determined to be 3 points at a rate of 20% and 5 points at a rate of 10%.

  When the point granting condition is established while the bonus is in effect, as shown in the bonus column of FIG. 14, the point to be given is determined to be 1 point at a rate of 85%, and 2 points at a rate of 10%. It is determined to be 3 points at a rate of 4% and 5 points at a rate of 1%.

  In this way, more points are determined as the granted points at a higher rate when the point granting condition is established during the bonus than when the point granting condition is established during the bonus.

  In addition, you may comprise so that a grant point may be determined in a different ratio according to whether it is during AT when point grant conditions are satisfied. More specifically, when the point granting condition is established during AT, it is configured so that more points are determined as grant points at a higher rate when established during non-AT. Also good. Accordingly, the first AT lottery can be performed more advantageously for the player when not in AT than in AT, and the interest of the game during non-AT can be improved.

  Moreover, you may comprise so that a grant point may be determined in a different ratio according to the game state when point grant conditions are satisfied. More specifically, it may be configured such that the awarded points are determined with reference to a table corresponding to the gaming state when the point granting conditions are established. Thereby, the expectation with respect to more points being awarded can be made different depending on the gaming state when the point granting condition is satisfied, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In S2 of FIG. 12, a grant point is determined with reference to the table shown in FIG. 14, and grant point information for specifying the determined grant point is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies a grant point resulting from the establishment of the current point grant condition based on the grant point information in the RAM 91c.

  In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which it is determined whether or not the point granting condition is satisfied in S1, and the granted point is determined in S2 when the condition is satisfied. With regard to the determination of the points and the grant points, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured such that whether or not the points are awarded in one lottery and the grant points are determined. For example, it may be configured to determine any of points 0 to 5 when the player is in a high probability state other than the bonus and wins a melon in the normal gaming state. In this case, when the point is determined to be 0, no point is given.

  In S3, it is determined whether or not the current point grant condition that triggered the point grant is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted. That is, when the point granting conditions this time are conditions other than the bonus shown in FIG. 13A and established by winning a strawberry when in a high probability state, or when the bonus shown in FIG. It is determined whether any of the conditions established by winning and winning the nine winning combinations alone.

  In S3, when it is determined that the point granting condition is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted, the process proceeds to S8 described later in order to notify that a predetermined number of points have been granted. . In the present embodiment, for example, the point “1” is determined as the notification point.

  On the other hand, in S3, when it is not determined that the point granting condition is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted, the determination and notification of whether or not to notify that points have been granted The process proceeds to S4 in order to make a notice lottery for determining the number of points.

  In S4, a difference number notification lottery is performed. The difference number corresponding notice lottery means that the total number of points actually granted after the previous first AT lottery is established until the current point granting condition is satisfied, and the current point granting condition after the previous first AT lottery is established. Depending on the difference from the total number of points that have been informed until the establishment, a lottery to determine whether or not to provide the granted points set in S2 when the current point grant condition is established, and the granted points set in S2 It includes a lottery for determining whether or not to report accurately, and a lottery for determining how many points are lower when the granted points set in S2 are not accurately reported. In S4, the difference number is calculated from the total number of granted points (updated in S10) and the total number of notification points (updated in S9), which will be described later. Specifically, the difference number is a value obtained by subtracting the total number of notification points from the total number of granted points.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a table for performing the difference number notification lottery. In the difference number correspondence notifying lottery in the present embodiment, first, referring to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to notify points according to the difference number.

  When the difference number is “0”, it is determined to notify at 30% of the fact that the points have been granted in accordance with the setting of the granted points at S2, and not to notify at the rate of 70%. The When the difference number is “1”, it is determined to notify that a point has been granted in S2 at the rate of 40%, and not to be notified at a rate of 60%. The

  When the difference number is “2”, it is determined to notify the fact that the points have been provided in S2 at the rate of 50% and not to be notified at the rate of 50%. The When the difference number is “3 or more”, it is determined to notify 70% of the fact that the points have been provided in accordance with the setting of the granted points in S2, and not to notify at the rate of 30%. Is done.

  As described above, the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A is determined not to report a higher percentage as the difference number is smaller, and is reported as a higher ratio as the difference number is larger. To be decided. Thereby, when the difference number is already large, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large by not being further notified.

  When it is decided to notify with reference to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A, the granted points set in S2 with reference to the difference number correspondence table B in FIG. Depending on the difference, a lottery for determining whether or not to report the given point accurately and a lottery for determining the number of points to be notified when the given point is not reported correctly are performed. In the case where the notification is not performed accurately, the notification point is determined from the points that are less advantageous to the player in the first AT lottery than the awarded points, that is, the points that are less than the granted points.

  When the granted point is “1”, the point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 100% as a notification point regardless of the difference number. When the granted point is “2” and the difference number is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be point “1” at a rate of 30%, and point “2” at a rate of 70%. Determined. When the granted point is “2” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be point “1” at a rate of 20%, and point “2” at a rate of 80%. To be determined.

  When the granted point is “3” and the difference is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 10%, and the point “2” at a rate of 20%. ”And the point“ 3 ”at a rate of 70%. When the granted point is “3” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be point “2” at a rate of 10%, and point “3” at a rate of 90%. To be determined.

  When the granted point is “5” and the difference number is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be “2” at a rate of 10%, and the point “3” at a rate of 20%. ”And the point“ 5 ”at a rate of 70%. When the granted point is “5” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be “3” at a rate of 10%, and the point “5” at a rate of 90%. To be determined.

  In this way, in the difference number correspondence table B in FIG. 15B, the point to be notified is determined so that the fact that the smaller the difference number is, the fewer points than the granted points are given at a higher rate. The point to be notified is determined so that the higher the difference number is, the higher the proportion is given, or the fact that a point closer to the given point is given. In addition, the more points are given, the higher the rate is. As a result, when the difference number is already large, or when a large number of given points are likely to cause the difference number, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large due to the notification of even fewer points.

  In the difference number corresponding notification lottery according to the present embodiment, the example of determining whether to notify using the table of FIGS. 15A and 15B and the notification point has been described. Only whether or not to notify according to the difference number is determined using only the table of 15 (a), and when it is determined to notify, the grant point set in S2 may be accurately notified. . Moreover, you may comprise so that an alerting | reporting point may be determined according to a difference number using only the table of FIG.15 (b).

  Returning to FIG. 12, in S <b> 5, it is determined whether or not it is determined to notify that the points have been given by the difference number corresponding notification lottery of S <b> 4. When it is determined to notify, the process proceeds to S8 described later in order to notify that the point determined in S4 has been given. On the other hand, when it is not determined to notify in S5, the process proceeds to S6.

  In S6, a total number notification lottery is performed. The total number corresponding notice lottery refers to the granted points set in S2 when the present point grant condition is satisfied according to the total number of granted points (the total number of normal granted points other than the bonus, the total number of bonus granted points during the bonus). A lottery for determining whether or not to be notified, a lottery for determining whether or not to accurately notify the grant points set in S2, and how many points are to be notified when the grant points set in S2 are not accurately reported Includes lottery. In the case where the notification is not performed accurately, the notification point is determined from the points that are less advantageous to the player in the first AT lottery than the awarded points, that is, the points that are less than the granted points.

  It should be noted that the total number of points that are actually granted after the first AT lottery last time until the present point granting condition is satisfied is specified from the total number of granted points described later.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a table for performing the total number notification lottery. In the total number corresponding notification lottery in the present embodiment, first, with reference to the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A, a lottery is performed as to whether or not points are notified according to the total number of points actually assigned. It is.

  When the total number of points awarded other than during the bonus is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points awarded during the bonus is “0 to 1”, the granted points are set in S2. It is determined to notify that the points have been given at a rate of 80% and not to notify at a rate of 20%.

  When the total number of points awarded other than during the bonus is “3-5”, or when the total number of points awarded during the bonus is “2-3”, the granted points are set in S2. It is determined to notify that a point has been given at a rate of 50% and not to notify at a rate of 50%.

  When the total number of points awarded other than during the bonus is “6 to 10”, or when the total number of points awarded during the bonus is “4 to 5”, the granted points are set in S2. It is determined to notify that a point has been given at a rate of 10% and not to notify at a rate of 90%.

  As described above, the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A is determined to notify the fact that points have been granted at a higher rate as the total number of given points is smaller. The larger the number, the higher the ratio is determined not to be notified. Thereby, when only a small number of points are given, the player can be relieved to recognize that a small number of points are given by notifying at a high rate. On the other hand, by not being notified at a high rate when a large number of points are given, it is possible to increase the possibility that more points are actually given than the points recognized by the player from the notification points. , Can maintain a sense of expectation.

  When it is decided to notify by referring to the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A, further refer to the total number correspondence table B in FIG. Depending on the total number of points granted, a lottery for determining whether or not to accurately report the given points and a lottery for determining the number of points to be notified when the given points are not reported correctly are performed. It is.

  When the granted point is “1”, the point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 100% as a notification point regardless of the total number of given points. When the number of points given is “2” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “0 to 1”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 70%.

  When the number of points awarded is “2” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “2 to 3”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 50%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 50%.

  When the number of points awarded is “2” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “6 to 10”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “4 to 5”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 90%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 10%.

  When the number of points given is “3” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “0 to 1”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 10%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 20%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 70%.

  When the number of points given is “3” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “2 to 3”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 20%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 50%.

  When the number of points given is “3” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “6 to 10”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “4 to 5”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 50%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 20%.

  When the number of points given is “5” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “0 to 1”, The point “3” is determined at a rate of 10%, and the point “5” is determined at a rate of 90%.

  When the number of points given is “5” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “2 to 3”, 10% of the points are determined as “1”, 10% of the points are determined as “2”, 30% of the points are determined as “3”, 50% of the points are determined as “5” It is determined.

  When the number of points awarded is “5” and the total number of points other than during the bonus is “6 to 10”, or when the total number of points during the bonus is “4 to 5”, , 30% of the points are determined as “1”, 30% of the points are determined as “2”, 30% of the points are determined as “3”, and 10% of the points are determined as “5”. It is determined.

  In this way, the total number correspondence table B in FIG. 16 (b) is assigned so that the smaller the total number of granted points, the higher the percentage of granted points or points closer to the granted points are notified. The point to be notified is determined so that the fact that a smaller number of points than the granted points are given at a higher rate is notified as the total number of the given points is larger. Thereby, when only a small number of points are given, it is possible to reassure the player by recognizing that a small number of points are given by accurately informing at a high rate. On the other hand, when a large number of points are given, a point that is less than the given points is notified at a high rate, so that more points are actually given than the points recognized by the player from the notification points. Can increase the possibility of being in the future, and can sustain expectations.

  In the total lot notification lottery according to the present embodiment, an example of determining whether or not to notify using the tables of FIGS. 16A and 16B and the notification point has been described. It may be configured to determine only whether or not to notify in accordance with the total number using only the table of (a), and to accurately notify the granted point set in S2 when it is determined to notify. Moreover, you may comprise so that an alerting | reporting point may be determined according to the total number using only the table of FIG.16 (b).

  Moreover, although the example which performs the difference number corresponding | compatible notification lottery and the total number corresponding | compatible notification lottery was demonstrated as the notification lottery in this Embodiment, you may comprise not only this but only any one. Further, the example of performing the total number corresponding notification lottery after performing the difference number corresponding notification lottery has been described, but the difference number corresponding notification lottery may be performed after performing the total number corresponding notification lottery.

  In the notification lottery according to the present embodiment, the example of determining whether to notify and the notification point according to the difference number and the total number has been described. However, the notification lottery is not limited thereto, and the difference number and the total number are determined. Regardless, it may be configured to determine whether or not to notify and the notification point according to the grant point set in S2.

  Returning to FIG. 12, in S <b> 7, it is determined whether or not it is determined to notify that the points have been awarded by the total number corresponding notification lottery of S <b> 6. When it is determined to notify, the process proceeds to S8 described later in order to notify that the point determined in S6 has been given. On the other hand, if it is not determined to notify in S7, the process proceeds to S10 without performing the process for notifying that the points have been granted.

  In S8, the notification process for performing the point provision effect which alert | reports that the point was provided is performed. In the notification process, when it is determined YES in S3, for example, information that can specify that point “1” has been granted is notified as a point grant effect (at the start or end of the game, “Acquire Point 1! To display a message such as “!”. Also, in the notification process, information that can specify that the point determined in S4 or S6 is given as a point granting effect is notified (for example, when notifying that the point “2” has been given) Then, at the start or end of the game, a process for displaying a message such as “Acquire Point 2!” Is performed.

  Note that the point granting effect is not limited to that executed in the above-described manner, and may be executed in any manner as long as the effect is executed in an aspect corresponding to the number of points given. .

  In S9, the notification point total number information for specifying the total number of notification points, which is the total number of points notified to the player by the process of S8 after the previous first AT lottery, is updated. Note that as the point granting effect notified in S8, information for specifying the total number of notification points (for example, a message such as “total number of acquired points 5!”) May be notified.

  The notification point total number information is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and is added and updated for each point every time it is notified in S8 that a point has been given. The notification point total number information is reset after the first AT lottery is established and the first AT lottery condition shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 is satisfied.

  In S10, the total granted point information for specifying the total number of granted points, which is the total number of points actually given by the process of S2, is updated. The granted point total number information is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and is added and updated for the given points after the given points are set in S2 and a notification lottery is performed.

  The total number of granted points information in the present embodiment is reset after the first AT lottery is established after the first AT lottery conditions shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 are established. Note that the total number of granted points is not limited to information reset when the first AT lottery is performed, and a predetermined number of points (for example, 2 points) out of the total number of granted points even after the first AT lottery is performed. May be carried over, or may be carried over when the AT is not won in the first AT lottery.

  In the present embodiment, as the upper limit of the total number of granted points, “10” is set in advance except during the bonus, and “5” is set in advance during the bonus. For this reason, when the granted points set in S2 are added to the total number of granted points until the current point grant condition is satisfied, the upper limit is set as the total number of granted points when the above-described upper limit is exceeded. Accordingly, as the upper limit of the total number of notification points, “10” is set in advance except for the bonus, and “5” is set in advance during the bonus. For this reason, in S8, when the point determined by the notification lottery or the like is notified, it is notified from the relationship with the total number of notification points that if the above-described upper limit value is exceeded, the point that becomes the upper limit value is given. The

  When the total number of notification points is already the upper limit value, notification is not performed in the same manner as when no points are given. Therefore, after the granted points are set in S2, if the total number of notification points is already the upper limit value, the point-related process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to S3 only when the total number of notification points is less than the upper limit value. You may comprise.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the point granting condition is established, whether or not to notify is determined according to the difference number or the total number of points actually assigned, It is determined and notified according to the determination result. In addition, the notification point is determined from the point that is less advantageous for the player in the first AT lottery than the actual granted point. For this reason, the points recognized by the player from the notification points are equal to or less than the total number of points actually given. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the total number of points actually granted may be greater than the total number of points specified from the notification points, and the total number of points specified from the notification points. Rather than being controlled by the AT.

  Next, the second AT lottery will be described. The sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment performs the second AT lottery by executing the second AT lottery process included in the AT control process. In the second AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and the second AT lottery is executed when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining lottery conditions that trigger the execution of the second AT lottery. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining a table referred to in the second AT lottery.

  As shown in the normal game state column of FIG. 17, when the current game state is a state other than the preparation mode or CZ, the lottery condition is determined by winning the bonus regardless of whether the performance state is AT. To establish. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. For example, the sub control unit 91 specifies the current gaming state based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41 and specifies that the bonus has been won based on the internal winning command from the main control unit 41.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18A is referred to, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 50%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 40%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 10%. Is determined to be 3, 3% of Navistock is determined to be 7%, Navistock is determined to be 10% of 2%, and Navistock is determined to be 20% of 1% The second AT lottery is performed.

  After the bonus, the AT is controlled according to the total number of navigation stocks determined in the first AT lottery described above as well as the number of navigation stocks determined in the second AT lottery. The total number of navigation stocks may be configured such that an upper limit number (for example, 20) is provided and the upper limit number is set when the total number is equal to or greater than the upper limit number.

  Also, as shown in the preparation mode and AT column of FIG. 17, when the AT is controlled in the preparation mode, a lottery condition is established by winning a bonus. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18B is referenced, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 30%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 35%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 20%. The second AT lottery is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 10 at a rate of 10%, and the navigation stock number is determined to be 20 at a rate of 5%. When the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. 18B, the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 1 or more, so that the AT is always controlled.

  As shown in the preparation mode and non-AT preparation mode in FIG. 17, the lottery condition is satisfied every time five games are consumed or a bonus is won in the non-AT preparation mode. To do. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the established lottery condition among the tables shown in FIG.

  When it is determined that 5 games have been digested after being controlled in the preparation mode, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 99% with reference to the 5G digest table shown in FIG. The second AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at the rate of.

  Further, when it is determined that 10 games have been digested after 5 games have been digested and controlled to the preparation mode, Navistock is referenced at a rate of 98% with reference to the 10G digest table shown in FIG. The second AT lottery is performed so that the number is determined to be 0 and the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at a rate of 2%.

  Further, when it is determined that a total of 15 games have been digested after 5 games have been digested and controlled to the preparation mode, the navigation stock is referenced at a rate of 95% with reference to the table at the time of 15G digestion shown in FIG. The second AT lottery is performed so that the number is determined to be 0 and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%.

  Further, when it is determined that 20 games have been consumed after 5 games have been digested and controlled to the preparation mode, the navigation stock is referenced at a rate of 90% with reference to the table for 20G digestion shown in FIG. The number is determined to be 0, the number of Navistock is determined to be 1 at a rate of 7%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 3 at a rate of 2%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 5 at a rate of 1% In addition, the second AT lottery is performed.

  Further, when it is determined that a total of 25 games have been digested after further 5 games have been digested and controlled to the preparation mode, the navigation stock is referenced at a rate of 70% with reference to the 25G digest table shown in FIG. The number is determined to be 0, the number of Navistock is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 3 at a rate of 5%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 5 at a rate of 3%. The second AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at the rate of%.

  Further, when it is determined that a total of 30 games have been digested after 5 games have been digested and the preparation mode has been controlled, refer to the table at the time of 30G digestion shown in FIG. The number is determined to be 1, the number of Navistock is determined to be 3 at a rate of 25%, the number of Navistock is determined to be 5 at a rate of 10%, and the number of Navistock is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%. The second AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at the rate of%. When the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table at the time of 30G digestion shown in FIG. 18 (d), the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 1 or more. Become.

  When a bonus is won in the non-AT preparation mode, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 30% with reference to the bonus winning table shown in FIG. The number of stocks is determined as 3, the number of Navistock is determined as 5 at a rate of 20%, the number of Navistock is determined as 10 at the rate of 10%, and the number of Navistock is determined as 20 at the rate of 5% As described above, the second AT lottery is performed. When the second AT lottery is made with reference to the bonus winning table shown in FIG. 18 (d), the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 1 or more. Become.

  Also, as shown in the column of CZ and AT in FIG. 17, when the CZ is controlled by the AT, the lottery condition is established by winning a bonus. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  When the table shown in FIG. 18C is referenced, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 60%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 25%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 10%. The second AT lottery is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%, and the navigation stock number is determined to be 20 at a rate of 2%.

  When the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. 18C, the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 1 or more, so that the AT is always controlled.

  Also, as shown in the column of CZ and non-AT in FIG. 17, when the non-AT CZ, in the same manner as in the non-AT preparation mode, during the period from the control to CZ until 30 games are consumed. A lottery condition is established each time five games are consumed or a bonus is won, and the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the established lottery condition among the tables shown in FIG. In addition, in the table shown in FIG. 18 (d), the table at the time of 30G digestion and bonus winning is referred to, and when the second AT lottery is performed during non-AT, the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 1 or more. Therefore, it is always controlled by the AT.

  In the second AT lottery process, every time a game state command is received from the main control unit 41 after being controlled to the preparation mode or CZ in order to specify the number of games that have been consumed after being controlled to the preparation mode or CZ. A process of counting up a predetermined counter is performed.

  The sub-control unit 41 specifies the number of games that have been consumed after being controlled by the preparation mode or CZ from the value of the counter, and executes the second AT lottery when the number of games satisfies the lottery conditions shown in FIG. . For example, when the fifth game is ended after being controlled by the preparation mode or CZ, it is determined that five games have been consumed, and the second AT lottery is executed. Note that the value of the predetermined counter is reset when it reaches 30, a fall replay prize, a promotion replay prize, a special game stop, a bonus winning, or the like.

  Here, when the gaming state is a state other than the preparation mode and other than CZ, in the preparation mode, or in the case of CZ, the degree of advantage for the player in the second AT lottery executed in each case is compared. . The degree of advantage for the player is, for example, the ratio at which the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more in the AT lottery, that is, the ratio controlled by the AT, and the level at which the number of navigation stocks is determined in the AT lottery. And so on.

  First, when the lottery condition is satisfied by winning the bonus, in the second AT lottery executed when it is in a state other than the preparation mode and other than CZ, the table shown in FIG. In the second AT lottery executed at the time of CZ or CZ, the table shown in FIGS. 18B and 18C or the table shown in FIG. 18D when the bonus is won is referred to. For this reason, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or higher at a higher rate and the navigation stock is higher at a higher rate than when it is in a mode other than the preparation mode and CZ when in the preparation mode or CZ. Determined by the number. That is, in the preparation mode and CZ, it is advantageous for the player by being controlled by AT at a higher rate and by determining a higher number of navigation stocks at a higher rate than in other states. It can be said that the AT lottery will be held. As a result, when in the preparation mode or CZ, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for being controlled by the AT and acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks than in other states, Interest can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the preparation mode or CZ, in the non-AT, 5G to 30G digestion shown in FIG. 18 (d) every time 5 games are digested until 30 games are digested without winning a strawberry or bonus. The second AT lottery is made with reference to the hour table. For this reason, in the non-AT, the AT is controlled at a higher rate in the preparation mode or CZ than in the other states. Also, in the non-AT preparation mode and CZ, as described above, by winning the bonus, the AT is controlled at a higher rate than in other states, and the number of navigation stocks is higher at a higher rate. Thus, it can be said that AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player. As a result, in the non-AT preparation mode and CZ, a sense of expectation can be given to being controlled by the AT, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the non-AT preparation mode and CZ, as shown in the table at the time of digestion of 5G to 30G in FIG. 18 (d), the proportion controlled by the AT and more navigation stock in proportion to the number of digested games The winning rate is set so that each ratio determined by the number is high. In other words, in the non-AT preparation mode and CZ, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for playing the game as many times as possible without shifting the game state, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In the second AT lottery executed by winning a bonus in the AT, the table shown in FIG. 18B is referred to when the game state at the time of winning the bonus is the preparation mode, and is shown when the gaming state is CZ. Reference is made to the table shown in FIG. For this reason, in any AT, the bonus is elected and the AT is always controlled after the bonus is over, but the number of navigation stocks is determined to be higher at a higher rate in the preparation mode than in the CZ. The That is, when the AT is in the preparation mode, when the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by being determined to be a higher number of navigation stocks at a higher rate than in the CZ. I can say that. As a result, when controlled by the AT, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for winning a bonus in the preparation mode, and to improve the interest of the game. Therefore, at the AT, for example, in the preparation mode, when the 9-piece combination is won, the 9-piece combination is won and the preparation mode is continued so as not to stop the special appearance, or when the promotion replay is won in the CZ The preparation mode and CZ are intentionally continued such that the promotion replay is continued without winning the promotion replay and the prize winning of 9 sheets is won so as not to intentionally stop the special appearance when winning the 9-piece combination. Interestingness can be added.

  For each table shown in FIG. 18 (d), a plurality of types with different ratios controlled by AT or a larger number of navigation stocks depending on whether the gaming state is the preparation mode or CZ. A table may be provided. In this case, the second AT lottery may be performed with reference to a table corresponding to the gaming state when the lottery condition is satisfied. As a result, the expectation for being controlled by the AT and obtaining a larger number of navigation stocks can be made different depending on the gaming state when the lottery conditions are established, and the fun of the game can be improved. .

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the lottery conditions determined in accordance with the current game state and performance state are satisfied by the second AT lottery process performed by the sub-control unit 91. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the second AT lottery is performed with reference to the corresponding table shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, even when the above-described notification promotion condition is satisfied, the corresponding number of navigation stocks is added to the number of navigation stocks determined by the AT lottery. That is, the sub-control unit 91 stores, in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, the navigation stock number information indicating the total number obtained by adding the corresponding navigation stock number to the navigation stock number determined by the AT lottery when the notification promotion condition is satisfied. Store. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the number of navigation stocks added when the notification promoting condition is satisfied.

  When the notification promotion condition is established by winning the strawberry (1) shown in FIG. 7 (f) in the bonus, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 50%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 50%. 2 is determined.

  Further, when the notification promoting condition is established by winning strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) shown in FIG. 7 (f) in the bonus, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%.

  As described above, when the notification promoting condition is satisfied, the control is always performed by the AT regardless of the result of the AT lottery. For this reason, the player can have a sense of expectation that the notification promotion condition is satisfied.

  In addition, the number of navigation stocks determined when winning strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) is determined to be larger than the number of winning strawberry (1) alone. That is, it can be said that AT is controlled so that the player who wins strawberry (1) + strawberry (2) is more advantageous to the player than the player who wins strawberry (1) alone. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the notification promotion condition is established by winning strawberry (1) + strawberry (2), and the interest of the game can be improved.

  The sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment performs the AT management process included in the AT control process, thereby updating the navigation stock number information according to the result of the AT lottery and the result of success or failure of the notification promotion condition. Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs AT management processing, so that the number of navigation stocks is decremented by 1 when the number of navigation stocks is 1 or more and the predetermined AT activation timing is reached during non-AT. At the same time, the AT flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and the effect state is controlled to AT.

  The AT activation timing in the present embodiment indicates an expected value of the number of games that need to be digested from when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established in the non-AT until actually controlled by the AT. It is determined according to the type of lottery conditions that triggered the acquired AT lottery, that is, the opportunity to acquire the number of navigation stocks (hereinafter also referred to as navigation stock acquisition opportunity). FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the AT activation timing determined for each navigation stock acquisition opportunity.

  As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 17, FIG. 19 and the like, the opportunity to acquire Navistock in non-AT is strawberry winning during non-AT, bonus winning during non-AT, end of bonus won during non-AT, non-AT A predetermined number of games are used, and a notification promotion condition is established in the bonus won during non-AT.

  Bonus winning during non-AT, end of bonus won during non-AT, and AT activation timing according to establishment of notification promotion conditions in bonus won during non-AT is the first advantageous RT from the preparation mode after the bonus ends Is set to a controlled timing. Therefore, when Navi stock is acquired in the bonus lottery during non-AT, the AT lottery executed by the end of the bonus won during non-AT, and when the notification promotion conditions in the bonus won during non-AT are established, When acquired, when the first advantageous RT is started for the first time after the bonus ends, it is controlled by the AT. For this reason, after the bonus that was won during non-AT ends, the AT will start when the special outcome is stopped and controlled to the first advantageous RT in the preparation mode after the bonus ends The player can be noticed and can be expected.

  In addition, the AT activation timing corresponding to the strawberry winning during non-AT or the digestion of a predetermined number of games during non-AT is set according to the gaming state when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established, as shown in FIG. ing.

  Navi stock acquisition opportunity is established by winning strawberry when RT is in non-AT or normal game state, and strawberry winning or predetermined number of games are completed when in non-AT preparation mode The AT activation timing at this time is set to a timing at which control to CZ is started thereafter.

  For example, when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established by winning a strawberry or digesting a predetermined number of games in the preparation mode, after the special outcome is stopped and controlled to the first advantageous RT, the first advantageous RT is further changed. The control is not performed by the AT unless the control to the CZ is started after the end.

  Therefore, when the control to the CZ is started by digesting the specified number of games in the non-AT RT and the normal game state, it is possible to draw attention to the player and to expect the AT to start. You can hold them. In addition, after the bonus won during non-AT ends, when the special event is stopped and controlled to the first advantageous RT in the preparation mode after the bonus ends, the AT is not started However, when the control is further controlled by CZ thereafter, the player can be noticed and expectation can be given to the AT being started.

  Also, the AT activation timing when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established by winning the strawberry or the predetermined number of games when the CZ is in non-AT is set to be determined by lottery based on random numbers extracted from a random counter, for example Has been.

  Specifically, for example, as the AT activation timing, when the next game is started, when the 3 games are digested, when the 5 games are digested, when the 10 games are digested, the CZ is controlled again via another state. Multiple timings are defined, such as when. In the lottery, any one of these multiple timings is determined. As a result, when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established when the non-AT CZ is established, the AT activation timing is randomly assigned, so that the player always has an expectation that the AT will start during the CZ. And can improve the fun of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the average number of games required until the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established and controlled by the AT in the non-AT preparation mode, RT, and normal gaming state is A, and the navigation stock acquisition opportunity in CZ is When the average number of games required to be established and controlled by the AT is B, the relationship of A> B is established. That is, the expected value of the number of games required to be controlled by the AT is smaller when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established in the CZ than when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established in other states. It is configured. Thereby, the expectation with respect to the establishment of the navigation stock acquisition opportunity in CZ can be improved.

  As described above, the AT activation timing is set so that the expected value of the number of games to be consumed before being controlled by the AT differs depending on the type of gaming state when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established when it is non-AT Has been. For this reason, the expected value of the number of games to be consumed before being controlled by the AT can be changed according to the type of gaming state, and the interest of the game can be improved. It can be said that the AT activation timing has a higher degree of advantage for the player as the AT activation timing is reached with less number of games. Therefore, the AT activation timing in the present embodiment is a state other than CZ when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established, considering the average number of games that need to be digested before being controlled by the AT. It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is higher when it is CZ than when it is.

  Note that the average game numbers A and B may satisfy the relationship of A <B. That is, the expected value of the number of games required to be controlled by the AT is greater when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established in CZ than when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established in other states. It may be configured. In this case, it is possible to improve the expectation that the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established in a state other than CZ.

  By performing AT management processing, the sub-control unit 91 sets navigation stock number information according to the establishment of the navigation stock acquisition opportunity, and sets an activation start waiting flag for specifying the corresponding AT activation timing. The activation start waiting flag refers to, for example, a flag corresponding to the first advantageous RT start, a flag corresponding to the CZ start, and a flag corresponding to the number of games determined by lottery.

  In the AT management process, for example, when the activation start waiting flag corresponding to the next game is set, the sub control unit 91 determines that the current game is based on the game state command received from the main control unit 41 at the end of the current game. When it is determined that the game has ended, the activation start waiting flag corresponding to the end of the current game is cleared. In addition, in the AT management process, for example, when the activation start waiting flag corresponding to the CZ start is set, the sub control unit 91 receives the game state command received from the main control unit 41 at the end of the previous game, and the current game end. When it is determined that the control to the CZ is started based on the gaming state command received from time to time, the activation start waiting flag corresponding to the start of the CZ is cleared.

  Depending on the type of gaming state when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established due to the bonus winning during the non-AT, the end of the bonus won during the non-AT, and the establishment of the notification promotion conditions in the bonus won during the non-AT The AT activation timing controlled by the AT may be varied. As a result, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the AT management process, the sub-control unit 91 transmits a command (for example, a BET command, an internal number) transmitted when the game is started when the number of navigation stocks is 1 or more and the activation start waiting flag is not set. When the winning command, reel rotation command, etc. are received (that is, when the AT trigger timing is reached and the game is started), the number of navigation stock is updated by 1 and AT indicating that it is controlled by AT The flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c and the effect state is controlled to AT. Thereby, while the game is digested a predetermined number of times (for example, 50), it is controlled by the AT and a navigation effect can be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the AT is controlled when the AT activation timing is reached and the game is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the navigation target combination (for example, fall replay) is performed after the AT activation timing is reached. You may make it control to AT when winning. In addition, only when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established without going through the bonus, that is, when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established by winning the strawberry or using the predetermined number of games, the AT target timing ( For example, the AT may be controlled when winning a fall replay. Thus, for example, even when the player specifies that the game is controlled to the CZ based on the number of digested games and the like and is not controlled by the AT at the start of the game, It is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation that AT will be started when winning the navigation target role.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs AT management processing, and counts the number of games that have been digested when it is an AT. At this time, when the number of games digested reaches a predetermined number, if the number of navigation stocks indicated by the navigation stock number information is 0, the AT flag is cleared and the AT is terminated, and the navigation stock number information is 1 or more. When it is determined that the number of navigation effect stocks is, the navigation stock number is consumed by one point, and the AT is continuously controlled until the game is consumed a predetermined number of times.

  As described above, by consuming 1 point of the number of navigation stocks, the AT is controlled while a predetermined number of games are consumed. Further, even when the game has been digested a predetermined number of times in the AT, it is controlled again by the AT while the predetermined number of games are still digested on condition that the number of navigation stocks is still 1 or more. Thereby, it can be said that the AT can be controlled over a period according to the number of navigation stocks set according to the result of AT lottery and the result of success or failure of the notification promotion condition. Further, it can be said that the AT can be repeatedly controlled by the number of times corresponding to the number of navigation stocks set according to the result of the AT lottery and the result of success or failure of the notification promotion condition.

  It has been described that during the AT, the AT effect is executed as the gaming state effect. In this production during AT, information that can specify the number of games digested during AT controlled by consuming 1 point of the number of navigation stock (for example, displaying a message such as “15 remaining games!”) Is notified. When the game in which the number of digested games has reached the predetermined number of times is finished, it is possible to specify that the AT effect is once ended, and if the AT is subsequently controlled, the AT is continued at the start of the next game. Information (for example, displaying a message such as “Continue!”) Is notified. Thereby, the expectation with respect to whether AT continues for every predetermined number of times can be improved effectively.

  In addition, in the AT management process, when the AT flag is set, the sub-control unit 91 adds and adds the number of navigation stocks when the number of navigation stocks is further acquired by AT lottery.

  Also, when the bonus is won when the AT flag is set, the main control unit 41 controls the internal internal RT, but the sub-control unit as in the state before the internal internal RT is controlled. The AT effect is continuously executed by 91, and the navigation effect is executed. In the internal RT, even if the navigation effect is executed, it is not counted as the number of games digested when the player is an AT.

  Further, in the bonus won during the AT, the sub bonus control unit 91 executes the same bonus effect as the bonus won during the non-AT. In addition, after the bonus won during the AT ends, the navigation effect is executed again from the preparation mode. In the preparation mode, even if the navigation effect is executed, the number of games that have been digested when it is AT is not counted, but the number of games that have been digested after being controlled to the first advantageous RT is counted. As a result, if the 9-piece combination is not missed in the preparation mode and the special outcome is not stopped, the first advantageous RT that is advantageous to the player is not controlled, but the navigation effect is executed in the preparation mode that is the previous stage. By counting the number of games in the preparation mode as the number of games digested when the player is an AT, it is possible to prevent inconvenience from causing the player to feel dissatisfied. In addition, after the bonus won during the AT is over, the navigation effect is not limited to the case where the navigation effect is started again from the preparation mode, but the navigation effect is started again when the first advantageous RT is controlled. Also good.

  In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment is an AT, a navigation effect according to the result of the internal winning is executed by performing a navigation effect execution process included in the game effect execution process. The result of the internal winning is specified from the internal winning command from the main control unit 41.

  For example, in AT, a navigation effect corresponding to the type of replay that is won at the same time as the fall replay is executed when winning the fall replay, and a navigation effect corresponding to the type of promotion replay is selected when winning the promotion replay. This is executed, and a navigation effect is executed according to the type of the nine winning combination that is won when one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won.

  As a navigation effect, when a normal replay + falling replay is won, an effect is displayed to display information for first stopping the left reel 2L or the middle reel 2C, for example, “Press from left or inside!” When normal replay + falling replay + BAR replay is won, an effect of displaying a message such as “Press from the right!” Is executed.

  In addition, when one of the promotion replays (1) to (3) is won, information that can identify the type of the promoted replay selected, for example, when the promotion replay (1) is won, “Aim for the right BAR!” When the promotion replay (2) is won, an effect that displays a message such as “Aim for the right red 7!” Is executed. When the promotion replay (3) is won, “right The effect of displaying a message such as “Aim at White 7!” Is executed.

  In addition, when winning any of the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9), information that can identify the type of the winning 9 winning combination, for example, when winning 9 winning combinations (1), The effect of displaying a message such as “7, aim at the right red 7!” Is executed, and when winning 9 roles (9), the effect of displaying a message such as “Aim at the left BAR and the right BAR!” Executed.

  The navigation effect relating to the fall replay, the navigation effect relating to the promotion replays (1) to (3), and the navigation effect relating to the nine-piece roles (1) to (9) are both messages for specifying the operation procedure on the liquid crystal display 51. It is executed in a common notification mode by displaying. For this reason, the information notified by the navigation effect is information for avoiding the fall replay, the information for winning the promotion replays (1) to (3), or the 9-card combination (1). It is not necessary to specify whether the information is for winning (9) or not, and by performing a stop operation according to the information notified in a common notification mode, a fall replay winning can be avoided and the promoted replay being won , 9 winning combinations can be won.

  The navigation effects are not limited to those executed in the above-described manner, and may be executed in any manner as long as the effects are executed in a manner corresponding to the internal winning result.

  As described above, in the AT, navigation effects are executed in association with the fall replay winning, the promotion replay winning, and the nine-piece winning combination. For this reason, when the CZ is in the AT, intentionally avoiding the fall replay winning, and at the time of winning the 9 winning combination, the 9 winning combination is dropped and the special outcome is stopped and the first advantageous RT is controlled. The promotion replay can be won and controlled to the second advantageous RT. Further, when the AT is in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, it is possible to intentionally not miss the 9-piece combination.

  On the other hand, when the AT flag is not set, the control is not controlled by the AT, and the navigation effect is not executed when the fall replay, the promotion replay, or the 9-piece combination is won. For this reason, it becomes difficult to continue CZ, and it becomes easy to control to a normal gaming state.

  As described above, the sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment performs the AT control process based on the command from the main control unit 41, thereby controlling the effect state according to the result of the AT lottery and the success or failure of the notification promotion condition. When it is AT, a navigation effect is executed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined number when it is either CZ or RT and is in non-AT, or after being controlled from the non-AT CZ to the normal gaming state. By performing the non-AT-time navigation effect execution process during the period until the game is digested, when one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, A non-AT navigation lottery for determining whether or not to perform a navigation effect corresponding to the type of the game is performed, and a navigation effect corresponding to the type of the nine winning combinations selected when winning the non-AT navigation lottery is executed. The

  For example, when it is either CZ or RT and is in non-AT, or when it is a period until the predetermined number of games are consumed after being controlled to the normal gaming state from CZ in non-AT, When any of the 9-sheet roles (1) to (9) is won, a non-AT navigation lottery is executed, and a navigation effect corresponding to the type of the 9-sheet roles selected at 90% is executed. It is determined that the navigation effect is not executed at a rate of 10%.

  As described above, in a period during which the AT is not being performed, when any of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, a corresponding navigation effect is executed at a predetermined ratio. As a result, it is possible to relieve the missing out of the 9 sheets in a non-AT period. The predetermined ratio is not limited to the above winning rate. For example, during a non-AT period, the navigation effect may be executed at a rate of 100% when one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won.

  It should be noted that the number of games that are controlled from the non-AT CZ to the normal gaming state and execute the navigation effect when the nine-game winning combination is won, from a plurality of games (for example, 0 to 3) every time the normal gaming state is controlled. You may comprise so that it may be determined at random. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to understand the timing at which the CZ is controlled to the normal gaming state. For example, a player who missed winning a fall replay can be given the impression of being still a CZ by executing a nine-player role navigation effect while in the normal gaming state. .

  Next, the expectation effect will be described. The sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment performs an expectation effect according to the situation of the internal lottery and the AT lottery by performing a game effect execution process. In the expectation production, the first expectation production for giving the player a sense of expectation for winning the bonus, and the second expectation for giving the player a sense of expectation for the AT lottery. Including production. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining an expectation effect lottery table used for an expectation effect lottery. In the present embodiment, an expectation effect lottery table is provided according to the gaming state.

  FIG. 21A is an expectation effect lottery table which is referred to when the gaming state is the normal gaming state or the preparation mode. In the bonus winning game, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 60% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 30%. In games where AT lottery is executed (except for games where AT lottery is executed by bonus winning), the first expectation effect is 30%, and the second expectation effect is 60%. It is decided to execute. In a game in which no bonus is won and AT lottery is not executed, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 10% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 10%.

  Thus, since the first expectation effect is executed at a higher rate when the bonus is won than when the AT lottery is executed, the expectation that the bonus is won when the first expectation effect is executed. Can be held by the player. In addition, since the second expectation effect is executed at a higher rate when the AT lottery is executed than when the bonus is won, the expectation that the AT lottery was executed when the second expectation effect was executed is increased. Can be held by a player.

  FIG. 21B is an expectation effect lottery table that is referred to when the gaming state is CZ. In the game where the bonus is won, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 70% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 20%. Also, in games where AT lottery has been executed (except for games where AT lottery was executed by bonus winning), the first expectation effect is 20% and the second expectation effect is 70%. It is decided to execute. In a game in which no bonus is won and no AT lottery is executed, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 5% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 5%.

  FIG. 21C is an expectation effect lottery table that is referred to when the gaming state is in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT. In the bonus winning game, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 80% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 10%. Also, in games where AT lottery has been executed (except for games where AT lottery has been executed by bonus winning), the first expectation effect is 10% and the second expectation effect is 80%. It is decided to execute. In a game in which no bonus is won and no AT lottery is executed, it is determined that the first expectation effect is executed at a rate of 2% and the second expectation effect is executed at a rate of 2%.

  In this way, when the gaming state is in the CZ state and in the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT, it is higher when the bonus is won than in the normal gaming state or in the preparation mode. Since the first expectation effect is executed at a rate, the rate of winning a bonus when the first expectation effect is executed (hereinafter also referred to as bonus reliability) can be increased. In addition, when the gaming state is in the CZ, in the first advantageous RT or in the second advantageous RT, when the AT lottery is executed, it is higher than in the normal gaming state or the preparation mode. Since the second expectation effect is executed, the ratio of the AT lottery being executed when the second expectation effect is executed (hereinafter also referred to as AT lottery reliability) can be increased. In addition, when the gaming state is in the CZ, in the first advantageous RT or in the second advantageous RT, and when the gaming state is in the normal gaming state or the preparation mode, the bonus is not won and the AT lottery is also performed. Since the expectation effect is executed at a lower rate in the game that has not been executed, it is possible to lower the rate that the bonus is not won and the AT lottery is not executed when the expectation effect is executed. .

  That is, the expectation effect is executed according to the gaming state (the normal gaming state, the preparation mode, the CZ, the first advantageous RT, the second advantageous RT, etc.) in which the common gaming state effect is executed in the non-AT. And the bonus reliability and the AT lottery reliability when the expectation effect is executed can be varied. In addition, the proportion of the expectation effect to be executed and the expectation effect in accordance with the gaming state (CZ, first advantageous RT, second advantageous RT, etc.) in which the common gaming state effect is executed at the AT. The bonus reliability and AT lottery reliability when executed can be varied.

  The sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment further wins a continuous effect and bonus for notifying information related to bonus winning or acquisition of the number of navigation stocks over a plurality of games by performing a game effect executing process. After being notified that there is a chance to win a bonus without replaying or winning a small role for a replay that is controlled to be drawn on the winning line preferentially over the bonus, and winning the small role However, it is a chance timing to win the winning bonus because it is confirmed that the small role cannot be won from the symbols (or symbol combinations) stopped on some of the reels, and that it will be missed. A chance effect to be notified can be executed as a game effect. Thereby, the interest of a game can be improved effectively.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, after the bonus ends, the first advantageous RT that is advantageous to the player is controlled through the preparation mode. In the preparation mode, a nine-piece winning combination is generated or a special appearance is stopped and controlled to the first advantageous RT according to the operation procedure when the nine-piece winning combination is won. The first advantageous RT is continued until the prescribed number of games is consumed unless a bonus is won.

  Further, from the preparation mode and the first advantageous RT, the normal gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player is not controlled. In other words, in the preparatory mode after the bonus ends, the special game is stopped and controlled to the first advantageous RT, and unless the bonus is won in the first advantageous RT, the prescribed number of games is consumed and controlled to CZ. Thus, it is not controlled to the normal gaming state. In order to control in this way, the following method is employed in the above-described embodiment. When the bonus is won, the game is controlled to the internal RT in any game state including the preparation mode and the first advantageous RT. The internal RT is a state in which even if a fall replay wins, the game is not controlled in the normal gaming state and continues until a winning bonus win is generated. Furthermore, in the internal lottery in the preparation mode or RT, as shown in FIG. 7B, the fall replay is not read out alone but is read out only at the same time as the bonus. As a result, even if the game that started in the preparation mode or RT is won by a fall replay, the bonus is selected at the same time as the fall replay and the game is already in the internal mode RT, so the game is in the preparation mode or RT. Sometimes the game started is not controlled to the normal gaming state.

For this reason, the preparation mode is continued or ended by the procedure of the stop operation without causing the player to feel uneasy that the game may be controlled in the normal gaming state while being controlled in the preparation mode or RT. In addition, it is possible to provide the player with the benefit of the RT without being controlled by the RT over the prescribed number of games except when the bonus is won. Further, after the first advantageous RT is finished, it is controlled to CZ. Although the CZ is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal gaming state in that it is controlled to the first advantageous RT by stopping the special game and the second advantageous RT by the promotion replay winning, On the other hand, it is a gaming state having two aspects such that it can be controlled to a normal gaming state by a fall replay winning. Therefore, in the after first advantageous RT is completed, it is possible to inspire furuncle one tension lasting advantage to the player. As a result, it is possible to improve the game performance after the bonus ends, and to improve the fun of the game. In addition, when a fall replay is won in a game started in the preparation mode or RT, it is possible to suggest that the bonus has been won, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  (2) According to the above-described embodiment, when being controlled by CZ, not only is it controlled to the normal gaming state which is disadvantageous to the player, but also when a promotion replay prize is won or a special game is stopped The first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT, which are gaming states that are advantageous to the game, are controlled. For this reason, the player can have a sense of expectation that the game state is again controlled to be advantageous in the CZ, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (3) According to the above-described embodiment, regardless of whether the gaming state is the preparation mode or the CZ, when the special outcome is stopped, the first advantageous RT is controlled. For this reason, it becomes easy for the player to understand the gaming state to be transferred from the stopped game.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, if a fall replay is won in the case of CZ, the game state is controlled to the normal gaming state. As described with reference to FIG. 8A, this fall replay avoids the operating procedure for winning and the winning depending on whether the normal replay + fall replay is won or the normal replay + fall replay + BAR replay is won. The operating procedures for each are different. In addition, when CZ is played, if 9 specials (1) to (9) are missed and the special appearance is stopped, or if one of the promotion replays (1) to (3) is won, the replay winning probability is further improved. The first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT are controlled. Further, if the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) are missed during the first advantageous RT, the first advantageous RT is controlled. However, for each of the promoted replays (1) to (3) and the nine-piece roles (1) to (9), even if they are elected, the stop switch must be operated at an appropriate timing to be able to win these roles. If you can not win.

  On the other hand, when controlled by the AT, a navigation effect corresponding to the type of replay that is won simultaneously with the fall replay is executed. For this reason, when controlled by the AT, even when the fall replay is won, it can be operated according to the navigation procedure according to the operation procedure for avoiding the fall replay winning.

  In addition, when controlled by the AT, when winning one of the promotion replays (1) to (3) or winning one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9), the winning prize won A navigation effect corresponding to the type of role is executed. For this reason, when controlled by the AT, it is possible to intentionally operate according to the operation procedure for winning the promoted replay and winning nine winning combinations. Therefore, when being controlled by the AT, it is possible to avoid being controlled to the normal gaming state, and it is possible to easily control from the CZ to the first advantageous RT or the second advantageous RT. You can say that. For this reason, the player can have a sense of expectation for being controlled by the AT. In addition, in RT, it is possible to give the player a degree of advantage based on whether or not it is controlled by the AT, effectively increasing the expectation of being controlled by the AT, and improving the interest of the game. Can do.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the lottery condition for the second AT lottery is determined by the ratio at which the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more and determined to be controlled by the AT, and the number of navigation stocks is larger. The ratio that is controlled when the player is in the preparation mode or CZ rather than the table that is referred to in the normal gaming state (the table in FIG. 18A) (FIG. 18B). The winning rate is set so that the bonus winning table () to (d) is higher. In other words, when the AT is not controlled by the AT in the preparation mode or CZ, the AT lottery is performed so as to be more advantageous for the player than in the normal gaming state. For this reason, when in the preparation mode or CZ, the player can advance the game while expecting to be controlled by the AT, compared with the normal game state, which can improve the interest of the game. it can.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in the preparation mode and CZ, even in non-AT, lottery conditions are satisfied every time 5 games are consumed, A second AT lottery will be held. That is, in the non-AT, the lottery condition is satisfied and the second AT lottery is performed every time the game is consumed a predetermined number of times during the non-AT. For this reason, in non-AT, the player can advance the game while expecting to be controlled by the AT step by step every time the game is digested a predetermined number of times, and the interest of the game can be improved. .

  Further, as shown in the table at the time of 30G digestion in FIG. 18 (d), in the 2nd AT lottery, the game is digested for 30 games without shifting the gaming state in the non-AT preparation mode or CZ. Is determined, and is always controlled by the AT. For this reason, in the non-AT, it is possible to add the fun of setting the final goal to digest 30 games without changing the gaming state and proceeding with the game, and to improve the interest of the game.

  The conditions that must be controlled by AT depending on the number of non-AT digested games are that the number of games digested during non-AT reaches a predetermined number of games (30 games), and the winning is made during non-AT. The number of games avoiding the winning of the falling replay has reached a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games), and the number of games won for a specific winning combination during non-AT is determined (for example, 3 games) may be established.

  Also, as shown in the table at the time of digesting 5G to 30G in FIG. 18 (d), the ratio controlled by AT and the ratio determined by a larger number of navigation stocks increase stepwise according to game digestion. The second AT lottery is performed every time the game is consumed a predetermined number of times during non-AT. This makes it possible to vary the sense of expectation for being controlled by the AT in accordance with the number of games digested during the non-AT. That is, it is possible to increase the expectation for being controlled by the AT in proportion to the number of games that have been digested, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (6) In the embodiment described above, the expected value of the number of navigation stocks is determined to be different by changing the ratio of acquiring navigation stock for control by the AT and the ratio of acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks. 10 (a) to (c) and FIG. 18 (a) to (d), the gaming state when the AT lottery condition is satisfied (normal gaming state, CZ, first advantageous RT, etc.) AT lottery is executed using a table corresponding to the above.

  On the other hand, when the player is not in AT, the game state effect is common between a gaming state (such as CZ or RT) that can be controlled by the AT according to the number of navigation stocks and a normal gaming state that is not controlled by the AT. Is executed. For this reason, during non-AT, the player cannot specify from the gaming state effect whether it is in CZ or RT or in the normal gaming state. Also, during AT, a common gaming state effect is executed during CZ and during RT. For this reason, during AT, the player cannot specify from the gaming state effect whether it is CZ or RT.

  As a result, it is possible to add the fun that the player expects the gaming state that is actually controlled, and to increase the navigation stock at a higher rate for the player according to the gaming state that is actually controlled. It is possible to change the sense of expectation for the acquisition and to improve the interest of the game.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the number of games to be consumed before being controlled by the AT according to the gaming state when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established during the non-AT. AT activation timings with different expected values are set. For this reason, the expected value of the number of games that need to be digested before being controlled by the AT can be changed according to the game state that is actually controlled, and the interest of the game can be improved. .

  (8) In the embodiment described above, the expectation effect lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the gaming state among the tables of FIGS. 21A to 21C. It is possible to add the fun of predicting the gaming state that is actually controlled from the frequency, and to vary the bonus reliability and AT lottery reliability when the expectation effect is executed according to which gaming state Can improve the interest of the game.

  (9-1) In the embodiment described above, one or more navigation stocks are determined in the AT lottery such as the first AT lottery shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 and the second AT lottery shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. Thus, the AT is controlled.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the first AT lottery among the AT lotteries is performed at the time of the lottery opportunity winning and at the end of the bonus. In the 1st AT lottery performed at the time of winning the lottery opportunity, according to the total number of granted points given in addition to the bonus, the higher the total number of granted points, the higher the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more. The lottery will be drawn according to the winning rate specified in. In addition, in the first AT lottery performed at the end of the bonus, according to the total number of granted points given during the bonus, the larger the total number of granted points, the higher the number of navigation stocks is set to 1 or more. The lottery will be drawn according to the winning rate specified in. Therefore, the player is given more points so that the first AT lottery is performed according to the winning rate determined to be determined to be a higher number of navigation stocks of 1 or more at a higher rate. It can make you expect.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the point-related processing shown in FIG. 12, the point granting effect for notifying that a point has been granted in S8 is provided on the condition that the point granting condition is established and the point is granted. An informing process is performed. In this notification process, based on the processing results of S3 to S6 in FIG. 12, the point grant effect that accurately notifies the grant points set in S2 in FIG. 12 or the grant points set in S2 in FIG. A point giving effect for informing a small number of points is executed. In the point-related processing shown in FIG. 12, even when the point granting condition is satisfied and points are awarded, if it is decided not to be notified in the notice lottery of S4 or S6 in FIG. Is not executed, and no notification is given that points have been awarded. For this reason, it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation that more points than the total number of points specified from the executed point giving effect may be actually given.

  As a result, the first AT lottery is performed according to the winning rate determined to be determined to be 1 or more and a larger number of navigation stock at a higher rate, and the point granting effect is controlled by the AT. It is possible to have a greater sense of expectation than the total number of points specified from. In addition, even when the total number of points specified from the point granting effect is relatively small, more points than the total number of points may actually be given, so a higher ratio of 1 or more and more It is possible to maintain a sense of expectation that the first AT lottery will be performed according to the winning rate determined so as to be determined by a large number of navigation stocks and that the AT will be controlled.

  Further, in the point related processing shown in FIG. 12, a point granting effect is performed for the grant point set in S2 of FIG. 12 on the condition that the point granting condition is satisfied and the point is granted. For this reason, the above-mentioned feeling of expectation can be raised step by step every time the point giving effect is executed. In addition, in order for the player to predict the total number of points given, it is possible to add an interest that the player himself accumulates and stores the points specified from the executed point giving effects.

  (9-2) In the difference lot notification lottery in S4 of the point related process, the tables shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to give the granted point correctly are determined. Is determined with a probability corresponding to the difference between the total number of notification points specified from the already performed point granting effects and the total number of granted points actually given. Further, in the difference number notification lottery, when the difference number is larger than when the difference number is small, it is determined to notify at a higher rate, and at a higher rate, points awarded or points closer to the given point are given. A notification point is determined so as to notify the user of the fact. As a result, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large and the reliability of the point specified from the point giving effect from becoming too low.

  (9-3) In the total lot notification lottery in S6 of the point-related process, the tables shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to give the given point accurately are determined. It is determined with a probability corresponding to the total number of granted points actually given. Furthermore, in the total number corresponding notification lottery, when the total number of granted points is smaller than when the total number of granted points is large, it is decided to report at a high rate, and at a high rate, the points that are closer to the granted point or the given points The notification point is determined so that the fact that it has been granted is notified. On the other hand, the smaller the total number of granted points, the higher the player's attention to whether or not the points have been notified. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the point giving effect is high, the player can be given a sense of expectation and a sense of security corresponding to the given points at a high rate.

  (9-4) In the above-described embodiment, when one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9) is won in either CZ or RT, regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT, A non-AT navigation lottery is performed according to a predetermined ratio, and when it is decided to execute the navigation effect, a navigation effect corresponding to the type of the 9 winning combination is performed. For this reason, when it is controlled to either CZ or RT, it is possible to reduce the missed winning combination of 9 sheets regardless of whether or not it is controlled by AT. As a result, the player was not able to control the AT because only a small number of points were given, or because it was controlled by the AT but ended in a short period because the number of navigation stocks decided was small. It is possible to reduce the discomfort that is held, and to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the interest of the game is extremely lowered when not controlled by the AT.

  (9-5) As shown in FIG. 19, when the notification promotion condition is satisfied, the number of navigation stocks is set so as to be more advantageous to the player than when the notification promotion condition is not satisfied. For this reason, even when only a small number of points are awarded, the player can have a sense of expectation for being controlled by the AT by establishing the notification promotion condition, and improve the interest of the game. be able to.

  Further, the number of stocks set when the notification promotion condition is satisfied is added to the number of stocks set in the AT lottery. For this reason, the player can easily experience the advantage over the establishment of the notification promoting condition, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (10) As shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 16 (a), even when the point granting condition is satisfied, when it is determined not to be notified by the notice lottery, the point giving effect is not executed. For this reason, even when the point giving effect is not executed, it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation that points are actually given, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, when a melon is won, a point granting condition is satisfied when a predetermined lottery is won. Even when the point granting condition is satisfied and points are awarded, when it is determined not to be notified by the notice lottery, the point giving effect is not executed. On the other hand, when a melon is won, a winning occurs regardless of the operation procedure. For this reason, even if the point granting effect is not executed when winning the melon and the impression is as if it was not won in the predetermined lottery, it is actually won in the predetermined lottery and points are given The player can have a sense of expectation for the game, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  (11) As shown in FIG. 15 (b) and FIG. 16 (b), even when it is determined to be notified by the notification lottery, the fact that fewer points than the actually granted points are given A point giving effect for informing the user can be executed. For this reason, even when only a small number of points are identified from the point granting effect, the player can have a sense of expectation that more points are actually given, improving the interest of the game Can be made.

  (12) As shown in FIG. 13, the point granting condition can be established in a high probability state that is continued until the probability state is exhausted to 30 or 50 games, or in a bonus that is controlled over a plurality of games. For this reason, the expectation with respect to being controlled to a high probability state can be given. In addition, it is possible to have a greater expectation for being controlled by the bonus. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in a state that continues for a plurality of games such as a high probability state and a bonus.

  (13) As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the fall replay, which is triggered by winning in the CZ and controlled to the normal gaming state, falls into the fall replay according to the type of reel to be stopped first. Since the case of winning and the case of avoiding the fall replay winning are distributed, it is possible to improve the fun when the reels are stopped.

  Further, since it is not necessary to consider the stop operation timing when avoiding the fall replay winning in the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the player's burden caused when the reels are stopped.

  (14) In the bonus, the role that triggers the point grant condition is a melon or nine-card role as shown in FIG. 13B, whereas the role that triggers the notification promotion condition is as shown in FIG. And strawberry (1) and strawberry (2). In other words, in the bonus, by winning a plurality of winning combinations such as melon, nine winning combinations, strawberry (1), and strawberry (2), the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more and higher at a higher rate. Can give a sense of expectation to the game and improve the fun of the game.

  (15) When the strawberry (1) or strawberry (2), which is the trigger for establishment of the notification promotion condition, is selected, special reel control is performed for the middle reel 2C as shown in FIG. 8 (b). For this reason, the notification promoting condition is satisfied when a bonus that can be stopped only when special reel control is performed (symbol stop of symbol number 4 or 5 in the middle stage of the middle reel 2C) is achieved. The player can recognize that he / she has done. Therefore, during the bonus, it is possible to concentrate the player on the stopped appearance, and to add the fun of specifying success or failure of the notification promotion condition from the outcome.

  Further, when the probability state is a high probability state other than during the bonus and when strawberry (1) or strawberry (2) is won, the point granting condition is satisfied as shown in FIG. 13 (a). . Therefore, even when the player is in a high-probability state, the player can be concentrated at the point where he / she is stopped, and the point-scoring condition is established not only from the point-sparing effect but also from the point. The player can recognize that it has been granted.

  (16) As shown in FIG. 19, in the bonus, the strawberry (2) is won more than when the strawberry (1) is won alone and the notification promotion condition is satisfied without winning the strawberry (2). When the notification promoting condition is satisfied, a larger number of navigation stocks is set. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, on the condition that the strawberry (2) is won, special reel control for stopping the symbol of symbol number 4 on the middle stage of the middle reel 2C can be executed. Therefore, in the bonus, the symbol number 4 is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, so that the strawberry (2), which is more advantageous to the player than when the strawberry (1) is selected alone, is won and the notification promotion condition is established. The player can recognize that the game has been performed, and more fun can be added.

  (17) The special event that triggers the transition to the first advantageous RT in the above-described embodiment is an operation of dropping the nine-piece combination when winning the nine-piece combination as described with reference to FIG. Reel control is performed so that it is stopped on the winning line only when operated according to the procedure. As a result, if a player loses a prize while winning a nine-piece winning combination, a medal to be paid out cannot be obtained due to the occurrence of a nine-piece winning combination. Since it is controlled to the first advantageous RT advantageous to the player, the disadvantage can be compensated.

  (18) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in the bonus winning table in FIG. 18D, when a bonus is won in a non-AT, in addition to being controlled by the bonus, after the bonus has ended. Controlled by AT. For this reason, in the non-AT, a sense of expectation for winning the bonus can be more strongly held, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in the tables of FIGS. 18B and 18C, when the bonus is won at the AT, in addition to being controlled by the bonus, Controlled by AT. For this reason, since it is controlled by AT continuously with a bonus in between, the interest of the game can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, when a bonus is won during RT that is advantageous to the player, even if the prescribed number of games has not been reached, the RT is terminated and controlled to the internal RT Explained. As a result, it is possible to prioritize the generation of bonuses over the RT game digestion. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the cycle period as quickly as possible, such that the transition of the gaming state is accelerated, the bonus is generated, and then the preparation mode is controlled to control the first advantageous RT again.

  However, during an RT that is advantageous to the player, even if the bonus is won, the RT is not terminated, and when the specified number of games is exhausted or until the specified number of games is consumed, the RT is You may make it complete | finish. Thereby, in RT, regardless of whether or not a bonus is won, the RT can be continued until the prescribed number of games is consumed, and the profit in the RT can be surely acquired. As a result, the advantageous degree in RT can be further improved.

  Also, even in the preparation mode, even if the bonus is won, the preparation mode is not ended, and the special mode is ended when a special event stops or a bonus occurs in the preparation mode. Also good. In this case, the following method may be used as a control method so as not to be controlled to the normal gaming state unless it is controlled from the preparation mode or RT to another gaming state. First, in the preparation mode or RT, the number of determination values may be distributed so that a fall replay is not won regardless of whether or not the bonus is read out simultaneously. As a result, a fall replay winning is not generated in the game started in the preparation mode or RT, so that the game started in the preparation mode or RT can be prevented from being controlled to the normal gaming state. As a result, even though the bonus has not yet been controlled to the first advantageous RT, or even though the specified number of games has not been consumed in the RT, a fall replay is won in the preparation mode or RT, and the normal game It is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that causes the player to feel distrust that the state is controlled.

  As another method, even when a fall replay winning occurs, when the controlled gaming state is the preparation mode or RT, the normal gaming state is not controlled with the occurrence of the falling replay winning. It may be a thing. As a result, even if a fall replay winning occurs in the game started in the preparation mode or RT, it can be prevented from being controlled to the normal gaming state, and is not controlled to the first advantageous RT after the bonus ends. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the RT is ended even though the bonus is not won before the prescribed number of games is consumed in the RT.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the small combination with nine payouts has been described as an example of the winning combination that is an opportunity to stop the special event. Thereby, it is not necessary to newly provide a winning combination that becomes an opportunity to shift from the preparation mode to the first advantageous RT. However, the winning combination that can stop the special event is not limited to the small role, but may be any winning combination that causes the player to miss, such as a single that controls the next game as a bonus by winning. It may be a bonus. Thereby, since a winning combination that becomes a trigger for the transition from the preparation mode to the first advantageous RT is newly provided, it is possible to easily design and change the winning probability of the winning combination. The same applies to the winning combination that becomes a trigger for the transition from the CZ to the first advantageous RT.

  In addition, although the winning combination serving as a trigger for the transition from the preparation mode to the first advantageous RT and the winning combination serving as the trigger for the transition from the CZ to the first advantageous RT have been described as examples, the present invention is not limited thereto. , Different winning combinations may be used.

  (3) The first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT in the above-described embodiment have the same replay winning probability, but the number of specified games is greater in the first advantageous RT than in the second advantageous RT. Therefore, the example in which the first advantageous RT is more advantageous for the player than the second advantageous RT has been described. In addition, when the winning rate for promotion replay in CZ is compared with the stopping rate for special events, the stopping rate for special events is set higher than the winning rate for promotion replays. An example in which an internal lottery is performed so as to be easily controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to a person has been described.

  However, the first advantageous RT and the second advantageous RT are set so that the prescribed game number is the same and only the replay winning probability is different, or the prescribed game number is different and the replay winning probability is different. Depending on the situation, the player may be configured to have a different degree of advantage. Also, when the first advantageous RT is set to be more advantageous for the player than the second advantageous RT, the promotion replay winning rate is set to be higher than the special outcome stopping rate. May be. In this case, in the internal lottery in CZ, not only the falling replay winning is avoided, but also the opportunity to avoid the promotion replay winning is increased, so that the game is controlled when controlled by AT and when not controlled by AT. The difference in profits earned by a person can be increased. As a result, a sense of expectation for being controlled by the AT can be further improved.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the example of controlling the gaming state has been described as shown in FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the game state is controlled to be advantageous to the player after the special mode is stopped after the bonus ends or until the bonus is won. As shown in FIG. 4, the gaming state may be controlled. FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state in the modified example.

  In FIG. 22, even when the special outcome is stopped in CZ, the CZ is maintained without being controlled by the first advantageous RT. Further, even if a promotion replay winning is generated in CZ, the game state corresponding to the second advantageous RT shown in the above-described embodiment is not controlled, and the CZ is maintained. That is, in FIG. 22, after the bonus is over, the first advantageous RT is controlled via the preparation mode, and after the prescribed number of games is consumed, the game state between the CZ and the normal game state is kept until the bonus is won. Transition takes place. Therefore, the preparation mode and the first advantageous RT can be controlled only once each corresponding to one bonus. As a result, it is possible to improve the game performance after the bonus ends, and to make it easy to understand the transition of the game state after the player pays attention to the preparation mode and the first advantageous RT.

  Note that the number of determination values is set so that the winning probability of normal replay in CZ in FIG. 22 is higher than that in the normal gaming state, for example, the same probability as in the first advantageous RT. It may be. In this case, CZ in FIG. 22 can be said to be a gaming state that is more advantageous for the player than in the normal gaming state in that the probability of winning the normal replay is high. Thereby, even after the first advantageous RT has ended, the advantage can be maintained in that the normal replay has a high probability, but on the other hand, the player has a sense of tension that it can be controlled to the normal gaming state by the fall replay winning a prize. Can be held in.

  (5) In the embodiment described above, it is advantageous for the player by changing the ratio of acquiring the navigation stock and the ratio of acquiring the larger number of navigation stocks according to the gaming state when the AT lottery condition is satisfied. The example in which the AT lottery is performed so that the degree is different has been described. In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the degree of advantage for the player is changed by changing the AT activation timing according to the gaming state when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established has been described.

  However, the degree of advantage for the player is not limited to the gaming state when the AT lottery condition or the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established, for example, whether or not it is in AT, the number of games that have been consumed since the end of the previous bonus is a predetermined number ( For example, it may be different depending on other factors such as whether or not it is 500 games or more. Thereby, according to a plurality of factors, the degree of advantage for the player can be changed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (6) As shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 18 of the above-described embodiment, the ratio of acquiring a larger number of navigation stocks varies depending on the gaming state when the AT lottery condition is satisfied. Thus, an example in which the player's degree of advantage is made different has been described. However, the player's degree of advantage is not limited to this, as long as the expected value for the period controlled by the AT varies depending on the gaming state when the AT lottery condition is satisfied. It is also possible to change the player's degree of advantage by making at least one of them different. Even in this case, according to the gaming state when the AT lottery conditions are satisfied, the sense of expectation of being controlled by the AT having a high degree of advantage for the player can be changed, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

In a slot machine that executes a predetermined end lottery (for example, a lottery for each game at the AT) in accordance with the end probability determined in advance in the AT and ends the control to the AT on condition that the winning is made in the end lottery Probability of determining the end probability and one end probability from a plurality of end probabilities ・ On condition that the number of times that the navigation effect is executed by winning a specific winning combination (for example, fall replay) at the AT has reached the specified number of times Ratio of determining the specified number of times in the slot machine that ends the control to the AT or one specified number from a plurality of specified times ・ Whether or not to perform the navigation effect when winning a specific winning combination (for example, fall replay) in the AT In the slot machine that executes a lottery and performs a navigation effect when it wins, the winning probability won by lottery or multiple Ratio of determining one winning probability from winning probability (7) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, it is traced to AT activation according to the gaming state when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established. The example in which the AT activation timing is changed by changing the gaming state has been described. However, the AT activation timing is not limited to this, as long as the expected number of games to be consumed before being controlled by the AT is different depending on the gaming state when the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established, for example, The AT activation timing may be changed by changing at least one of the following points. Even in this case, the expected value of the number of games that need to be digested before being controlled by the AT can be changed according to the gaming state when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established. Can be improved.

-The regulation in the slot machine that starts the control to the AT when the number of games digested after the establishment of Navistock acquisition reaches the prescribed number of games and is CZ (when CZ is started or during CZ) Number of games, or a ratio that determines one specified game number from a plurality of specified games ・ After Navistock acquisition opportunity is established, when the number of games digested in CZ or RT reaches the specified number of games The specified number of games in the slot machine to start control, or the ratio for determining the specified number of games ・ After the Navistock acquisition opportunity is established, the number of games digested in the normal gaming state reaches the specified number of games and is CZ At a certain time (when CZ is started or during CZ), the specified game in the slot machine that starts control to AT is started. The ratio of determining the number of games, or one number of games from the number of games, ・ The number of avoidance times that avoided winning a particular winning combination (eg, fall replay) won after the Navistock acquisition opportunity was established. In a slot machine that controls the AT on the condition that the determined number of arrivals has been reached, the ratio of determining the number of arrivals until the start of control to the AT or one arrival number from a plurality of arrival times Until the start of control to the AT in the slot machine that controls the AT on the condition that the number of winnings won for a specific winning combination (for example, fall replay) has reached the determined number of times after the opportunity is established (8) In the above-described embodiment, the non-AT is used. After winning navigation stock, it is controlled to AT when it reaches the AT trigger timing. The AT activation timing is set when a navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established. On the other hand, the navigation stock is determined by AT lottery executed when the AT lottery condition is satisfied. Therefore, after acquiring the navigation stock, the AT lottery condition may be satisfied again to acquire the navigation stock before reaching the AT activation timing. In this case, you may make it perform the process for controlling to AT as follows. Even in this case, the expected value of the number of games that need to be digested before being controlled by the AT can be changed according to the gaming state when the navigation stock acquisition opportunity is established. Can be improved.

-Control to AT when the AT trigger timing set when the Navistock acquisition trigger is first established-Depending on the gaming state when the latest Navistock acquisition trigger established until the AT trigger timing is reached Control to the AT when the AT trigger timing set in advance is reached.-The AT trigger timing set when the navigation stock acquisition trigger is first established, and the Navistock acquisition trigger established until the AT trigger timing is reached. Of the AT trigger timings set according to the gaming state of the time, control to the AT when it reaches the AT trigger timing where the expected number of games to be digested before being controlled by the AT is reached. After that, until the AT trigger timing is reached, the AT lottery conditions will not be met again, and Navistock will not be acquired. When the AT trigger timing (for example, the next game) is reached, the expected number of games to be digested before being controlled by the AT is less than when the AT is controlled. (9) In the above embodiment, The example in which the first AT lottery condition is established by winning a strawberry as a specific winning combination has been described. However, if the first AT lottery condition is established in relation to a specific winning combination, the first AT lottery condition may be established by winning a specific winning combination, and it is a condition that a specific winning combination is won. The combination of symbols that can be stopped on the winning line (chance) may be established by stopping on the winning line. Thereby, a player can be concentrated on the combination of symbols.

  (10) In the embodiment described above, in the notice lottery in S4 and S6 of FIG. 12, the degree of advantage for the player is lower than the awarded points set in S2, that is, points below the given points are determined as the notice points. An example to be described. However, if the notification points determined in the notification lottery in S4 and S6 of FIG. 12 are determined from points whose total number of notification points is not equal to or greater than the total number of granted points even after notification, S2 The player may be configured such that the degree of advantage for the player is higher than the grant points set in Step 1, that is, the points more than the grant points are determined as notification points.

  FIG. 23 is an example of a table used in the notification lottery, and is a diagram for explaining a table in which more points than the given points can be determined as notification points in the difference number compatible notification lottery.

  Also in the difference number corresponding notification lottery in this modification, with reference to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 23A, a lottery is performed as to whether or not points are to be notified according to the difference number. The difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 23A is the same as the table in FIG.

  When it is decided to notify with reference to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 23A, the granted points set in S2 with reference to the difference number correspondence table B in FIG. In accordance with the difference number, a lottery for determining the notification points is performed.

  When the granted point is “1” and the difference number is “0 to 1”, the total number of reporting points after reporting the current reporting point at a rate of 100% is given as the reporting point. It is determined that the post-notification difference number is “0”, which is the difference from the total number of granted points to which the given points are added. Specifically, the notification points are (difference number−difference number after notification + giving points). In this case, if the difference number is “1”, the notification point is determined as (1−0 + 1) = point “2”. In this way, more points than the given points are notified.

  When the granted point is “1” and the difference number is “2-3”, the post-notification difference number is determined to be “0” at a rate of 15%, and “1” at a rate of 25%. ”And“ 2 ”at a rate of 60%.

  When the granted point is “1” and the difference number is “4”, the post-notification difference number is determined to be “1” at a rate of 10% and is set to “2” at a rate of 20%. It is determined to be “3” at a rate of 30% and “4” at a rate of 40%.

  Hereinafter, similarly, the post-notification difference number is determined according to the distribution rate specified from the granted point and the difference number, and the notification point is determined by calculating (difference number−post-report difference number + grant point). The

  For example, when the granted point is “3” and the difference number is “3” and “1” is determined as the difference number after notification, (3-1 + 3) = point “5” is determined as the notification point. To be determined.

  As described above, when a lottery is performed using a table in which more points than the granted points can be determined as notification points, for example, even when the difference number becomes too large, the player is more likely than the granted points. By reporting a point with a high degree of advantage as a reporting point, the difference number can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to easily improve the reliability of the total number of notification points.

  (11) In the industry in which the slot machines in the above-described embodiments are distributed, inspection (type test) by a third party is obligated at the pre-shipment stage, and a predetermined standard is satisfied in the type test. There is a special situation that only the determined model is allowed to be shipped to the game hall. Further, in recent years, in order to prevent the shooting ability from being increased too much, it is required to be able to perform a test assuming that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by a player. Yes.

  Therefore, in the slot machine in the above-described embodiment, in consideration of such special circumstances and needs, a test is performed assuming that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player. “Output means” for outputting “information that can be performed” may be further provided. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 24, the game control board, the production control board, and the input / output board will be described as an example of “output means”, and the recommended operation procedure information will be referred to as “the slot machine is shipped to the market and the player actually As an example of “information that can be tested on the assumption that a game is played”. FIG. 24 is a block diagram showing an example of a control circuit of a slot machine equipped with a test apparatus 1200 for performing a type test and an input / output board 1100 for inputting / outputting test information used for the test.

  The test information output from the slot machine 1 to the test apparatus 1200 includes, as shown in FIG. 24, winning status information for specifying the game start and winning status, and the rotational positions of the reel motors 32L to 32R (for example, It is actually determined by the player in consideration of the rotational position information for specifying the step number of the predetermined position, the area number of the symbol located in the lower stage, whether or not it is controlled by the AT, and whether or not there is a navigation effect. Recommended operation procedure information for specifying a recommended operation procedure that is expected to be operated is included. Note that the test information output from the slot machine 1 to the test apparatus 1200 includes winning information for specifying that a winning has occurred and the type of the winning, payout information for specifying that a medal has been paid out, and the like. , Other information included.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, the test information input from the test apparatus 1200 to the slot machine 1 includes game start information for starting a game such as setting a bet amount and reel rotation for starting a game, reels, and the like. The game end information for ending the game such as stopping the game is included.

  The input / output board 1100 mounted on the slot machine 1 includes a connector 1101 for electrically connecting to the game control board 40, a connector 1102 for electrically connecting to the effect control board 90, and a test apparatus 1200. A connector 1103 for electrical connection is provided. The type test described above is performed by inputting / outputting various types of information in a state where the input / output board 100 and the test apparatus 1200 are connected by a connector. Hereinafter, the flow and operation of various information when the type test is performed will be specifically described.

  First, the test apparatus 1200 outputs game start information in order to start a game in the slot machine 1. The game start information is input to the game control board 40 via the input / output board 1100. Thereby, in the main control part 41 of the game control board 40, the process for starting a game (betting number setting, lottery process, reel rotation process, etc. in the BET process) is performed.

  And the main control part 41 of the game control board 40 produces | generates and outputs winning condition information at the time of a game start. The corresponding selection status information is input to the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100. As a result, the test apparatus 1200 can specify that the game has started and the winning situation.

  Further, the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 generates and outputs rotational position information according to the reel rotation. The rotational position information is information for specifying a step existing at a predetermined position among 168 steps of each of the reel motors 32L to 32R, for example, and is input to the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100. Thereby, in the test apparatus 1200, the current rotation position can be specified for each of the reels 2L to 2R.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 of the effect control board 90 generates and outputs recommended operation procedure information according to the winning situation or the like. The recommended operation procedure information is input to the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100. Thereby, in the test apparatus 1200, the recommended operation procedure can be specified.

  Based on the current rotation position of the reels 2L to 2R specified from the rotation position information, the test apparatus 1200 provides game end information for stopping each of the reels 2L to 2R in the recommended operation procedure specified from the recommended operation procedure information. Generate and output. The game end information is input to the game control board 40 via the input / output board 1100. Thereby, in the main control part 41 of the game control board 40, each of the reels 2L to 2R is stopped according to the game end information, and a process (reel rotation process, winning determination process, payout process, etc.) for ending the game is performed. Do. Thereby, each of the reels 2L to 2R can be stopped by the recommended operation procedure.

  As described above, information is repeatedly input / output between the slot machine 1 and the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100, and the game can be automatically repeated. As a result, the type test for the slot machine 1 can be automatically performed.

  As described above, the recommended operation procedure may be information for enabling the test to be performed assuming that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player. For example, the recommended operation procedure is an operation procedure for deriving a symbol combination to be actually stopped by a player by a game effect (for example, a navigation effect or the like) for notifying information related to the winning situation. When the game effect for notifying the information related to is not performed, a predetermined operation procedure (a procedure for minimizing the small part missing, so-called DDT hitting method, KKK hitting method, etc.) may be used.

  Specifically, the recommended operation procedure is, for example, a normal replay in which a symbol combination to be actually stopped when a navigation effect at the time of falling replay is executed is simultaneously selected, so that the normal replay is derived. The operation procedure for Thereby, in the test apparatus 1200, when the current rotation position of each of the reels 2L to 2R specified from the rotation position information becomes the position of each of the reels 2L to 2R specified from the recommended operation procedure information, the corresponding reel The game end information for stopping the game is output. As a result, each of the reels 2L to 2R can be stopped by the recommended operation procedure, and the normal replay winning selected in the slot machine 1 can be generated.

  The recommended operation procedure is, for example, the above-described predetermined operation procedure (a procedure for minimizing a small part missing, so-called DDT hitting method, KKK hitting method, etc.) when nine winning combinations are won in the non-AT preparation mode. Say.

  As a result, in the test apparatus to which the recommended operation procedure information is input, the recommended operation procedure for deriving the symbol combination to be actually stopped by the player by the game effect informing the information related to the winning situation is specified. can do. As a result, the type test can be performed based on the results of operation according to the recommended operating procedure, so the test should be performed assuming that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player. Can do.

  In addition, the recommended operation procedure when the game effect that informs the information related to the winning situation is not performed is a predetermined operation procedure (in the case of including a predetermined small role that is missed by the operation procedure) It is also possible to use a procedure for minimizing missing, so-called DDT method, KKK method, etc. For example, it is conceivable that a player who has not recognized whether or not a bonus has been won usually performs a stop operation so that a predetermined small role can be won as much as possible. This is because it is possible to minimize the possibility of losing the selected small part that has been won. That is, the stop operation is performed so that the predetermined small role can be won, so that, for example, when the predetermined small role is won, it is more reliable when the predetermined small role is won. Can win a prize, and if you have not won a given small role and have won another small role (for example, a small role that has not been missed), you can pull in the selected small role, This is because the possibility of being missed can be minimized. Accordingly, for example, compared with an operation procedure in which a predetermined small role cannot be won, the possibility of losing a small role is reduced by performing a stop operation in an operation procedure for winning a predetermined small role. it can.

  Note that the recommended operation procedure when the game effect for notifying the information related to the winning situation is not performed may be an arbitrary operation procedure (so-called father hitting). This is because when the game effect is not performed, it is considered that the player can proceed with the game without pressing in consideration of speeding up the game. The recommended operation procedure information in this case is information that can specify the region numbers 0 to 20 for each of the reels 2L to 2R.

  Thereby, in the test apparatus to which the recommended operation procedure information is input, even when the game effect for notifying the information related to the winning situation is not performed, the symbol combination to be actually stopped by the player The recommended operation procedure for deriving can be identified. As a result, since the type test can be performed based on the result of operation according to the recommended operation procedure, it is not during the so-called AT assuming that the slot machine is shipped to the market and actually played by the player. You can also test for time.

  Note that the recommended operation procedure information that is output when a game effect that informs the information related to the winning situation is not performed is a predetermined operation procedure (a procedure for minimizing a small part missing, so-called DDT batting method, KKK batting For example, the first information for specifying a method and the like and the second information for specifying an arbitrary operation procedure (so-called father hitting) may be output. As a result, the test apparatus 1200 can perform a test when a game effect that informs information related to the winning situation is not performed using the first information or the second information as necessary. It is possible to perform a test when a game effect for notifying information related to the winning situation is not performed in a state closer to the case where the game is played by the player.

  The sub-control unit 91 outputs, for example, a first strobe signal based on the internal winning command and the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, and outputs data for specifying the region number for the left reel 2L, The second strobe signal is output, data for specifying the region number for the middle reel 2C is output, and further, the third strobe signal is output, and the data for specifying the region number for the right reel 2R. To complete the output of the recommended operating procedure information. Thus, recommended operation procedure information is input to the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100. On the test apparatus 1200 side, the position where each reel should be stopped can be specified from the recommended operation procedure information, and the game end information is output in consideration of the rotation position specified from the rotation position information. Each reel can be stopped by the recommended operation procedure.

  When the recommended operation procedure includes the reel stop order, the sub control unit 91 outputs the first strobe signal based on the internal winning command and the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example. Data for specifying an area number for the first reel to be stopped is output, a second strobe signal is output, data for specifying an area number for the second reel to be stopped is output, and 3 is output, and data for specifying the region number for the third reel to be stopped is output, thereby completing the output of the recommended operation procedure information. Thus, recommended operation procedure information is input to the test apparatus 1200 via the input / output board 1100. On the test apparatus 1200 side, in addition to the recommended operation procedure information, the reel stop order can be specified in addition to the position where each reel should be stopped, and the rotational position specified from the rotational position information is taken into consideration. The game end information can be output and each reel can be stopped by the recommended operation procedure.

  Note that after the type test is completed, it is conceivable that an illegal act of inputting illegal information via the connector 1103 described above is performed. In order to avoid this, for example, the connector 1103 may be provided so as to be removable from the input / output board 1100, and the connector 1103 may be configured to be removable at the shipping stage. In the shipping stage, the input / output board 1100 may be shipped without being mounted. As a result, it is possible to prevent unauthorized acts such as inputting unauthorized information.

  (12) In the above-described embodiment, for example, when a winning operation is performed at a timing at which the type of 9 winning combinations that can be drawn in with respect to the case where any of 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) is won, An example in which a control that increases the player's advantage in terms of generating 9 winning combinations and paying out 9 medals than when stopping at an operation timing that cannot be pulled in, or winning a fall replay When the stop operation is performed in the avoidance procedure for avoiding the falling replay winning according to the type of replay that has been won at the same time, for example, when the stop operation is performed in the avoidance procedure, the RT An example in which control is performed to increase the degree of advantage for the player in that the point is continued has been described. However, the control that increases the degree of advantage for the player may be, for example, the following control.

    (12-1) For example, in the case where different types of small roles with different medal payout numbers associated with winning can be won at the same time, the operation is performed in a procedure different from a predetermined advantageous procedure according to the types of small roles that are simultaneously selected. It is also possible to perform a control for winning a small role with a small medal payout number when the medals are accepted, and a control for winning a small role with a large medal payout number when an operation is accepted in an advantageous procedure. As a result, in a game in which small types of small medals with different medal payout numbers are simultaneously won, the game value that a player acquires when operated by an advantageous procedure than when operated by a procedure different from the advantageous procedure It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player increases in terms of increase in the number.

    (12-2) For example, in the case of a predetermined gaming state, a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player (for example, a special outcome is derived when winning one of the nine winning combinations (1) to (9)) However, there is a special outcome that can be derived when the nine-player role (1)-(9) is missed under the control of a so-called disadvantage RT, such as a state that is not controlled by RT, or a replay winning probability is lower than RT. When it is derived, it is controlled to a gaming state advantageous for the player (for example, advantageous RT), and when the number of navigation stock is 1 or more and the predetermined gaming state is set, the nine-player combination (1) to (9) It is configured to execute a navigation effect corresponding to the type of the nine-player combination when one of them is won, and the number of navigation stock is 1 or more, and according to the type at the time of winning the nine-player combination in the predetermined gaming state Execute navigation direction In the slot machine, when the winning 9-type combination is stopped at an operation timing that can be pulled in, the 9-type combination is won and the gaming state is shifted to an unfavorable gaming state. When a stop operation is performed at a possible operation timing, a 9-piece combination is missed and a 9-medal payout cannot be received, but a special outcome is derived and the RT is controlled to be in an advantageous state for the player. Also good. As a result, when the number of Navi stocks is 1 or more and the degree of advantage in the game in which the nine-game combination is won in the preparation mode is not performed, the type of the selected nine-piece combination is stopped at an operation timing that cannot be drawn. It can be said that the player is more advantageous in that it is controlled by RT in the game after the game than when the winning combination is performed at the operation timing at which the nine types of winning combinations can be drawn.

  In addition, for example, the above-described normal replay is a single small role with one payout, and a fall replay is a specific small role with more than one number of medal payouts. In the case where a winning combination and BAR replay are won simultaneously in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, and a specific small role winning can be avoided by a stop procedure according to the combination of simultaneous winnings, When an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the simultaneous winning combination (see FIG. 8A), a winning of a specific small role occurs and the RT is terminated, and the advantageous procedure corresponding to the specific result When the operation is accepted, a winning of one small role may be generated and the RT may be maintained. Thus, apart from the degree of advantage in the game won for a specific small role during RT, the procedure when avoiding the specific small role winning is different from the procedure for avoiding the specific small role winning. It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is higher in that the RT is maintained without ending in the game after the game than when the game is operated.

    (12-3) For example, in a slot machine where each of the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) and the melon can be won simultaneously, when any of the 9 winning combinations and the melon are simultaneously won, the winning 9 winning combination When an operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the combination of melon and melon, nine winning combinations are won at a predetermined non-advantage ratio (for example, 1/9), and the operation is accepted in the advantageous procedure Alternatively, control may be performed to win the melon at a predetermined advantageous rate (100%) higher than a predetermined non-advantageous rate. As a result, if any of the 9 winning combinations and melons are won at the same time, 9 medals will be obtained at a higher rate when operated by the advantageous procedure than when operated by a procedure different from the advantageous procedure. In terms of what can be done, it can be said that the degree of advantage for the player increases.

  Also, for example, in a slot machine in which each of the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) and melon can be won simultaneously, when any of the 9 winning combinations and melon are simultaneously won, When the operation is accepted in a procedure different from the advantageous procedure corresponding to the combination of the above, a 9-piece combination with a predetermined non-advantage amount (9-medal payout) at a predetermined non-advantage rate (for example, 1/9) When a prize is awarded and an operation is accepted by an advantageous procedure, a melon with a predetermined advantageous amount (9-medal payout) is awarded at a predetermined advantageous rate (for example, 100%), and (advantageous rate) ) × (advantageous amount)> (non-advantageous ratio) × (non-advantageous amount). As a result, when any of the 9 winning combinations and melons are won at the same time, the amount of game value that the player earns when operated by an advantageous procedure than when operated by a procedure different from the advantageous procedure It can be said that the degree of advantage for the player is high in that the expected value of becomes high.

  (13) In the total number corresponding notification lottery in the embodiment described above, the example in which the lottery is performed according to the total number of granted points updated in S10 of FIG. 12 has been described. However, the total number corresponding notification lottery may be configured such that the lottery is performed according to the total number of notification points updated in S9 of FIG. In the total number corresponding notification lottery in this case, the tables shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to give the granted point accurately are notified so far. The probability is determined according to the total number of points. Further, in the total number corresponding notification lottery in this case, it is determined to notify at a high rate when the total number of notification points is smaller than when the total number of notification points is large, and at a high rate, depending on the grant points or the grant points The notification point is determined so as to notify that a close point has been given. On the other hand, the smaller the total number of notification points, the higher the degree of attention the player has on whether or not the points have been notified. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the point giving effect is high, the player can be given a sense of expectation and a sense of security corresponding to the given points at a high rate.

  (14) In the first AT lottery in the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the higher the normal number of granted points and the total number of bonus granted points, the higher the rate is controlled by the AT. In this example, the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by determining a larger number of navigation stocks. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player by being controlled by the AT at a high rate and being determined to have a higher number of navigation stocks at a high rate.

  In this case, even when the above-described point grant condition is not satisfied, the point grant effect may be executed as if a point was granted. Moreover, you may comprise so that a point provision effect may be performed as if the point provision conditions were satisfied and more points were provided than the point actually provided. Further, whether or not to execute such a point grant effect may be determined with a different probability depending on at least one of the grant points, the difference number, the total number of grant points, and the total number of notification points. .

  Thereby, even when the point granting effect is executed or when it is notified that a large number of points are given, the player is expected to expect that fewer points or points are not actually given. It is possible to hold the game, and it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation that the first AT lottery will be performed in an advantageous manner for the player, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (15) In the embodiment described above, notification conditions (for example, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, various ratios) with different degrees of advantage for the player are set according to the total number of granted points, and the first AT lottery is performed according to the notification conditions. An example of performing is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the AT is controlled over the length uniquely identified from the total number of granted points (the number of navigation stocks, the period for digesting the predetermined number of games, the period for executing the navigation effect a predetermined number of times, etc.). The first AT lottery may be performed.

  For example, in the first AT lottery, the number of navigation stocks may be set uniquely from the total number of granted points. More specifically, a predetermined number (for example, 1) is set as the number of navigation stock with respect to a predetermined number (for example, 2) for the total number of granted points. For example, when the total number of granted points is “6”, (6/2) "may be set.

  Further, as another example in the first AT lottery, the number of games that can be uniquely controlled by the AT may be set from the total number of granted points. More specifically, a predetermined number (for example, 10) is set as the number of games that can be controlled by the AT with respect to a predetermined number (for example, 1). For example, when the total number of granted points is “6”, You may comprise so that "60 (6x10)" may be set as the number of games which can be controlled. Even in the case of such a configuration, the same effect as described above is obtained.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the example in which the navigation stock is set when the notification promoting condition is satisfied has been described. However, when the notification promoting condition is satisfied, any process that is advantageous for the player regarding the AT control may be executed. For example, when the notification promotion condition is satisfied, a predetermined number of points (for example, 5 points) may be given, and one or more at a higher rate than when the tables shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are referred to. In addition, the first AT lottery may be performed with reference to a table in which the winning rate is set so that a larger number of navigation stocks is determined. In FIG. 10 and FIG. Points to be determined (for example, “6” in FIG. 10 or points whose total is “6” or more in relation to the total number of granted points) may be granted. According to such a configuration, even if the total number of points granted when the point granting condition is satisfied is the number of points with a relatively low degree of advantage for the player, the notification promotion condition is satisfied, The player can have a greater sense of expectation than the total number of points actually given for being controlled, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (17) In the embodiment described above, with respect to the fall replay that triggers the termination of CZ, as shown in FIG. 8A, an example in which winning can be avoided when the stop order is a predetermined stop order. explained. In addition, for the nine role combinations (1) to (9) in which the navigation effect is executed at a predetermined ratio even in the non-AT case, the winning can be awarded when the stop operation timing is the predetermined stop operation timing. Explained.

  However, the fall replay can avoid winnings on the condition that it is a predetermined stop operation timing according to the type of the winning combination, as in the case of nine winning combinations (1) to (9). May be.

  For example, as a winning combination in which a navigation effect is executed at a predetermined ratio even if it is non-AT, nine winning combinations (1) (configuration symbol: “Red 7-ANY-ANY”), nine winning combinations (2) (configuration) Set the symbol: “White 7-ANY-ANY”), 9-piece role (3) (Composition symbol: “BAR-ANY-ANY”), and fall replay as a winning combination that will trigger the preparation mode and RT (1) (Composition pattern: “white strawberry / black strawberry-ANY-red 7), tumble replay (2) (configuration pattern:“ white strawberry / black strawberry-ANY-white 7 ”, tumble replay (3) (configuration pattern : "White strawberry / Black strawberry-ANY-BAR" may be set.

  In this case, with respect to the nine winning combinations (1) to (3), the winning is made on condition that an operation for stopping the left reel 2L is performed at a predetermined stop operation timing according to the type of the winning combination. Can do. For example, when the 9-piece combination (1) is won, the 9-piece combination (1) is placed on the left reel 2L on the condition that “Red 7” is stopped at a timing that allows the drawing to be made on the winning line. You can win a prize.

  In addition, for the fall replays (1) to (3), it is possible to avoid winning a prize on condition that an operation for stopping the right reel 2R is performed at a predetermined stop operation timing according to the type of the winning combination. it can. For example, when the fall replay (1) is won, the right reel 2R receives the red fall 7 on the condition that “red 7” is stopped at a timing that cannot be drawn into the pay line. Can be avoided.

  As a result, even when the left reel 2L is erroneously stopped when the winning of the fall replay is avoided, the right reel 2R is stopped at a predetermined stop operation timing according to the type of the winning combination. By performing the operation, it is possible to avoid winning a fall replay. Further, in the case of winning nine winning combinations, even if the right reel 2R is erroneously stopped, an operation for stopping the left reel 2L at a predetermined stop operation timing corresponding to the type of winning combination is performed. By performing, it is possible to win nine winning combinations.

  In addition, as described above, when the operation procedure for avoiding the fall replay winning and the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) winning is set to the predetermined stop operation timing according to the type of the winning combination, the falling replay is related. Both the navigation effect and the navigation effect related to the nine-piece role include, for example, red information that recalls “red” corresponding to the “red 7” symbol, and white information that recalls “white” corresponding to the “white 7” symbol. , Using information notification means (for example, a liquid crystal display 51, a predetermined lamp, a predetermined 7-segment display, etc.) that can specify the black information reminiscent of “black” corresponding to the “BAR” symbol. You may comprise so that it may be performed by the common alerting | reporting aspect by alert | reporting any of red information, white information, and black information.

  The red information is, for example, an effect of displaying a red character mainly using red on the liquid crystal display 51, or an effect of lighting a lamp capable of specifying red (for example, lighting a lamp provided corresponding to red) Alternatively, the lighting color may be red). Similarly, white information is an effect of displaying a white character mainly using white color or an effect of lighting a lamp capable of specifying white (for example, lighting a lamp provided corresponding to white or lighting color) The black information is an effect of displaying a black character mainly using black or an effect of lighting a lamp capable of specifying black (for example, provided for black). The lamp may be turned on or the lighting color may be black.

  Specifically, for example, when the falling replay (1) is won, the falling replay (1) is performed on the condition that the red reel 2R is stopped at a timing at which it is not possible to draw “red 7” into the winning line. Since the “Red 7” can be avoided, the black information that reminds of “Black” corresponding to the “BAR” symbol arranged at the timing where the “Red 7” cannot be drawn into the winning line is informed. You may perform a navigation effect by alert | reporting by a means. Similarly, red information reminiscent of “red” corresponding to the “red 7” symbol when winning the fall replay (2), and “white 7” symbol when winning the falling replay (3) The navigation effect may be executed by notifying white information reminiscent of “white” to be performed by the information notification means. In addition, when the nine-piece combination (1) is won, the nine-piece combination (1) is awarded on the condition that the left reel 2L is stopped at a timing at which “red 7” can be drawn into the winning line. Therefore, the navigation effect may be executed by notifying red information reminiscent of “red” corresponding to the “red 7” symbol by the notifying means. Similarly, white information that recalls “white” corresponding to the “white 7” symbol when winning nine (2) roles, and “BAR” symbol when winning nine (3) symbols. The navigation effect may be executed by notifying the black information reminiscent of the corresponding “black” by the information notification means.

  Thereby, it is not necessary to specify whether the information regarding the color notified by the navigation effect is information for avoiding the fall replay or information for winning the nine-piece roles (1) to (9). By stopping the reels 2L to 2R according to the information related to the color notified in a common notification mode by the information notification means, it is possible to avoid the falling replay winning and to win the winning nine-piece combination.

  In addition, as for the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9), as in the case of the fall replay, the winning combination can be won on the condition that the winning combination is in accordance with the type of combination of the winning combinations. May be. For example, when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined stop order corresponding to the combination of winning combinations, the corresponding nine winning combinations can be won, and when a stop operation other than the predetermined stop order is performed Reel control may be performed so that nine winning combinations cannot be won.

  This eliminates the need for so-called pressing in both cases of avoiding the falling replay winning and winning the nine-piece winning combination, thereby reducing the player's burden associated with the stop operation.

  In addition, as described above, when the operation procedure for avoiding the fall replay winning and the 9 winning combinations (1) to (9) winning is set in a predetermined stop order according to the type of the winning combination, the navigation related to the falling replay is performed. Both the effect and the navigation effect relating to the 9-piece combination are, for example, information notification means (for example, a liquid crystal display 51, a predetermined lamp, a predetermined 7-segment display, etc.) for notifying the stop order information that recalls the stop order. ) May be configured to be executed in a common notification mode by notifying the stop order.

  The stop order information corresponds to, for example, an effect of displaying the stop order on the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, a message such as “left” is displayed when the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 2L), and each of the reels 2L to 2R. The effect of lighting the lamp in such a manner that the stop order can be specified (for example, the lamp corresponding to the left reel 2L is lit when the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 2L) may be used.

  Thereby, it is not necessary to specify whether the stop order information notified by the navigation effect is information for avoiding the fall replay or information for winning the 9-piece combination (1) to (9). By stopping the reels 2L to 2R according to the stop order information notified in a common notification mode by the information notification means, it is possible to avoid the falling replay winning and to win the winning nine-piece combination.

  (18) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which whether or not to execute a navigation effect that can identify the type of a winning 9-sheet combination during non-AT is determined every time the 9-port combination is won. explained. However, during the non-AT, whether or not to execute a navigation effect that can identify the type of the winning 9-sheet combination is determined when the 9-port combination is won in the non-AT when controlled by the non-AT. It may be configured to determine whether or not to execute. In this case, in the non-AT that is determined to execute the navigation effect, the navigation effect corresponding to the type of the 9 winning combination is always executed when winning the 9 winning combination. Thereby, every time it is controlled to non-AT, a sense of expectation can be given to being controlled to non-AT in which the navigation effect of 9 sheets is executed.

  (19) In the point-related processing in the above-described embodiment, even if the total number of granted points updated in S10 is an upper limit, if the total number of notification points updated in S9 is not the upper limit, S3 and subsequent steps You may comprise so that a process may be performed. Thereby, even after the total number of granted points has reached the upper limit, when the total number of notification points has not reached the upper limit, the same control as before the total number of given points has reached the upper limit is performed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the point giving effect is not executed after the total number of given points reaches the upper limit. Note that when the total number of notification points reaches the upper limit, the point-related processing may not be executed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unnecessary processing from being performed.

  (20) The navigation effects relating to the fall replay, promotion replay (1) to (3), and nine-piece combination (1) to (9) in the above-described embodiment specify the operation procedure in the liquid crystal display 51. The example performed by the common alerting | reporting aspect by displaying this message was demonstrated. However, the configuration for executing the navigation effect is any one that can execute the predetermined effect in a common notification mode, such as a predetermined lamp mounted on the slot machine or a predetermined 7-segment display. There may be.

  (21) A fall replay that is a re-gamer is set as a winning combination that triggers the termination of CZ in the above-described embodiment, and a navigation effect is performed at a predetermined rate even if it is a non-AT (excluding the first advantageous RT) The example in which the nine winning combinations (1) to (9), which are small combinations, are set as the winning combinations for which “I” is executed has been described. However, the winning combination that triggers the end of the CZ is not limited to the re-playing combination, but may be a predetermined small combination, a single bonus that controls the next game as a bonus by winning. In addition, the winning combination in which the navigation effect is executed at a predetermined ratio even if it is a non-AT is not limited to a small combination, but may be a predetermined re-playing combination, a single bonus, or the like. In addition, as the winning combination that becomes the trigger for the transition to the second advantageous RT, the promotion replays (1) to (3) have been described as an example. It may be a single bonus for controlling one game as a bonus.

  (22) In the first AT lottery in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the AT lottery is performed so as to be more advantageous to the player as the total number of normal granted points or the total number of bonus points is increased has been described. Instead, when the total number of granted points is equal to or less than a predetermined number (for example, “0”), the AT lottery is performed so as to be more advantageous to the player than when the total number of granted points is larger than the predetermined number. It may be configured. Specifically, when the total number of granted points is “0”, the AT lottery is performed at the same winning rate as when the total number of granted points is “5” or “10” which is the upper limit. May be. Thereby, the player can also have a sense of expectation that the total number of granted points is equal to or less than the predetermined number, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (23) A process of clearing (for example, “0”) the number of navigation stock when the bonus is won in a state where the number of navigation stock remains may be performed. May be performed, a process of subtracting a predetermined number may be performed, a process of adding and adding a predetermined number may be performed, and which process is to be performed every time the bonus is won It may be determined and the determined processing is performed. Thereby, the variation when a bonus is won in a state where the number of navigation stocks remains is increased, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  (24) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the number of granted points is not subtracted has been described. However, a predetermined number is subtracted from the number of granted points on condition that a predetermined subtraction condition (for example, winning a specific winning combination) is won. You may comprise. In this case, the number of points actually subtracted may be notified as the number of subtracted points, or the number of points larger than the number of points actually subtracted may be notified. As for whether to notify the number of points actually subtracted or the number of points greater than the number of points actually subtracted, at least one of grant points, difference numbers, grant points, report points Accordingly, it may be configured to determine with different probabilities. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to give a sense of tension to the point being subtracted even after the point is awarded, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (25) In the first AT lottery and the second AT lottery in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the number of navigation stocks corresponding to the expected value for the length controlled by the AT is determined. However, in the 1st AT lottery and the 2nd AT lottery, not only the number of navigation stocks but also the probability (intrusion rate) controlled by the AT and a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) are used and the AT is controlled again after the AT is finished. You may comprise so that the probability (continuation rate) to do may be determined. In this case, it is determined whether or not the AT is controlled according to the rush rate determined in the AT lottery, and the AT is controlled according to the continuation rate determined in the AT lottery when the predetermined number of games are digested and the AT is completed. It may be configured to determine whether or not.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the AT is continued until a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) are consumed when controlled by the AT has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that the said AT may be continued until the frequency | count that a navigation effect was performed reaches | attains predetermined number (for example, 10 times etc.).

  (26) An example in which a predetermined number of points are notified 100% when winning a strawberry (1) and a strawberry (2) that satisfy the 100% point grant condition by winning when they are in a high probability state has been described. However, not limited to this, a predetermined number of points are notified by winning and winning, or by appearing a winning that is stopped only when winning the strawberry shown in FIG. 8 (b), If you win but don't win, you may be notified according to the notification lottery.

  (27) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the number of navigation stocks is consumed to control the AT while the game is consumed a predetermined number of times has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it consume 1 whenever it performs. The number of navigation stocks may be any value as long as it is a value that specifies the period of time controlled by the AT at RT.

  (28) In the above-described embodiment, in the second AT lottery executed by game digestion a predetermined number of times during non-AT, the same table for CZ and for the preparation mode (see FIG. 18D) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the table is not limited to this. The table has a different degree of advantage between the CZ and the preparation mode, that is, the probability of winning the AT and the ratio determined by the larger number of navigation stocks are different. The second AT lottery may be performed using a table. As a result, if the second AT lottery that is more advantageous in CZ than in preparation mode is performed, the fall in CZ is more than in preparation mode. The loss due to the disadvantage of being controlled to the normal gaming state by replay winning can be compensated. Further, when the second AT lottery that is more advantageous in the preparation mode than in the CZ is performed, the game performance in the preparation mode can be further improved.

  (29) In the above-described embodiment, in the second AT lottery executed by the predetermined number of times of game digestion, the ratio controlled by AT and the ratio determined by a larger number of navigation stocks are stepwise according to game digestion. The example which becomes high was demonstrated. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the game will be digested as many times as possible without winning a fall replay during non-AT, and the interest of the game can be improved. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the second AT lottery executed by game digestion a predetermined number of times, the ratio controlled by AT or the ratio determined by a larger number of navigation stocks becomes lower step by step according to game digestion. It may be. As a result, a sense of expectation for winning an AT at the earliest possible stage during non-AT can be given, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (30) In the above-described embodiment, the first advantageous RT may be controlled so that the degree of advantage (replay winning rate, number of specified games) differs depending on the type of the special event stopped in the preparation mode. As a result, variations of the first advantageous RT can be increased, and the game performance in the preparation mode can be further improved.

  (31) In the embodiment described above, an example in which the reel control for stopping the special game at the winning line is performed only when the 9-card combination is missed regardless of the game state is won. did. However, the reel control for stopping the special game at the winning line is configured to be performed only when the 9-card combination is missed when the 9-card combination is won and the game state is the preparation mode or CZ. May be. Thereby, in spite of the special game being stopped in the normal gaming state, the first advantageous RT is not controlled, so that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that causes confusion for the player.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the first advantage RT is not controlled even when the special game is stopped in the normal game state has been described. Even in a state, the first advantageous RT may be controlled with a low probability. In addition, in the normal gaming state, the special event (for example, red 7-blank (1) -blank (1) among the special events shown in FIG. 5B) is stopped only. It may be configured to be controlled to one advantageous RT. This makes it possible for the player to have a sense of expectation that the game state will be controlled from the normal gaming state to the first advantageous RT.

  (32) In the above-described embodiment, in the AT lottery, the number of special navigation stocks controlled by the AT until the bonus is won may be determined. As a result, the player can have a sense of expectation for winning the special Navistock number. In this case, the special navigation stock number may be configured to win according to a proportion corresponding to the gaming state when the AT lottery condition is satisfied. For example, when the bonus is won in the preparation mode, the AT lottery may be won with higher probability than when the bonus is won in the normal gaming state. Further, the number of special navigation stocks may be won with a higher probability in the AT lottery when a bonus is won in the preparation mode than when a bonus is won in RT. Thereby, it is possible to add a premier to winning a bonus in the preparation mode, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (33) In FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, as a notification condition related to whether or not to start a notification period, (a) in a slot machine controlled by AT on condition that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more The ratio determined to be controlled by AT is exemplified. However, as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period, (a) in a slot machine that controls the AT on the condition that the number of games digested in the non-AT has reached a predetermined number of reached games The ratio for determining the number of games reached until the start of the control to (1), (c) The notification period on condition that the number of times of avoidance that avoided winning of the falling replay won in the non-AT has reached the determined number of arrivals It may be a ratio for determining the number of times of arrival until the control to the AT is started in the slot machine to be controlled.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the case of (a) above, by using a table that determines that AT is controlled at a higher rate as the total number of granted points is larger (the degree of advantage for the player is higher), the player An example of AT lottery so as to be advantageous to the above has been described. However, in the case of (b) above, similarly, a table in which the winning rate is set so that the higher the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the smaller the number of reached games is determined at a higher rate. It may be configured to perform an AT lottery so as to be advantageous for the player. Similarly, in the case of (c), a table is used in which the winning rate is set so that the greater the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the smaller the number of arrivals is determined at a higher rate. Thus, the AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player.

  In FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 of the above-described embodiment, as the notification condition related to the period to be controlled in the notification period, (D) the number of games digested in AT reaches the number of end games according to the number of navigation stocks acquired. The ratio of determining the number of navigation stocks in the slot machine that ends the control to the AT on condition that it has been, that is, the ratio of determining the number of finished games is illustrated. However, as a notification condition related to the period to be controlled in the notification period, (e) a predetermined end lottery is executed in accordance with the end probability determined in advance in the AT, and the control to the AT is performed on the condition that the end lottery is won The ratio at which the end probability is determined in the slot machine that finishes, (f) The slot machine that finishes the control to the AT on condition that the number of times that the navigation effect has been executed by winning the fall replay at the AT has reached the specified number The ratio for determining the prescribed number of times may be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the case of (d) above, the larger the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the higher the number of navigation stocks, that is, the higher the number of finished games is determined at a higher rate. An example in which the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by using the table to be described has been described. However, in the case of the above (e), similarly, a table in which the winning rate is set so that the higher the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player) is, the higher the lower end probability is determined. Thus, the AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player. Similarly, in the case of (f), a table is used in which the winning rate is set so that the greater the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the higher the specified number of times is determined. Thus, the AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player.

  The notification conditions include, for example, a ratio for determining a winning probability in a slot machine that draws whether or not a navigation effect is to be executed at the time of winning a fall replay at (ki) AT, and executes a navigation effect when winning. It may be. Similarly, in the case of (ki) above, by using a table in which the winning rate is set so that the higher the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the higher the winning probability is determined at a higher rate. The AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player.

  In addition, the notification condition may be any of the above (A) to (K), or may be selectively combined among the above (A) to (K). Even if the notification condition is any one of the above (A) to (K) or a combination of (A) to (K), the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  (34) As shown in (33) above, at least (i) the number of games digested in the non-AT has reached a predetermined number of games reached as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period In the slot machine controlled by the AT on the condition, the ratio of determining the number of games reached until the start of the control to the AT, (c) the number of avoidances that avoided the winning of the falling replay won in the non-AT was determined In a slot machine that adopts the ratio of determining the number of arrivals until the control to the AT is started in the slot machine that is controlled in the notification period on the condition that the number of arrivals has been reached, Non-AT, non-AT notification period during which a navigation effect that allows the type of a winning combination to be specified at the time of winning a fall replay is specified And means for controlling, it may be provided with a means for performing a navigation effect that allows identifying the type of winning combination is won during the fall replay winning condition that a period outside broadcast period. In this case, as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period, it is further provided that the number of games digested in the non-period notification possible period has reached a predetermined number of out-of-period end games. As a ratio of determining the end-of-period end game in the slot machine that ends the control to the out-of-period notification possible period, (k) a predetermined out-of-period end lottery according to a predetermined out-of-period end probability in the out-of-period notification possible period The ratio of determining the out-of-period end probability in the slot machine that finishes the control to the out-of-period notification possible period on condition that the lottery is won in the out-of-period end lottery. The control to the non-period notification possible period is terminated on condition that the number of times that the replay is won and the navigation effect is executed reaches the prescribed number of times outside the period. Percentage that determines periods outside predetermined number of times in the slot machine, or the like may be used.

  In the case of (c) above, the larger the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the more advantageous for the player by using a table that determines a higher number of out-of-period end games. As described above, an AT lottery including a lottery related to an out-of-period notification possible period may be configured. In the case of (K), the larger the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the more advantageous it is for the player by using a table for determining a lower out-of-period end probability at a higher rate. In addition, an AT lottery including a lottery related to an out-of-period notification possible period may be configured. In the case of the above (co), the period is set such that the larger the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player) is, the more advantageous the player can be by using a table that determines the higher number of out-of-period prescribed times. You may comprise so that AT lottery including the lottery regarding an outside alerting | reporting period may be carried out.

  In addition, for example, the notification condition is determined by lottery whether or not the navigation effect is executed at the time of winning the fall replay in the (sa) outside notification possible period, and the winning probability is determined in the slot machine that executes the navigation effect when winning. It may be the ratio to do. Similarly, in the case of (sa), the larger the total number of granted points (the higher the degree of advantage for the player), the more advantageous to the player by using a table for determining a higher winning probability at a higher rate. You may comprise so that AT lottery including the lottery regarding the period which can be notified outside a period is included.

  In addition, the notification conditions in the slot machine may be any of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa), and the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku). It may be one that is selectively combined among (s). Even if the notification condition is any of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa) or selectively combined, other than the notification period in the period controlled to the advantageous state Since the notification conditions are set so as to be more advantageous to the player than in the normal state, the player can proceed with the game with expectation and improve the interest of the game. it can.

  (35) In FIG. 18 of the above-described embodiment, as the notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period, (a) the AT is controlled on condition that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more. The ratio of determining to control to AT in the slot machine is illustrated. However, as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period, (a) in a slot machine that controls the AT on the condition that the number of games digested in the non-AT has reached a predetermined number of reached games The ratio for determining the number of games reached until the start of the control to (1), (c) The notification period on condition that the number of times of avoidance that avoided winning of the falling replay won in the non-AT has reached the determined number of arrivals It may be a ratio for determining the number of times of arrival until the control to the AT is started in the slot machine to be controlled.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the case of (a) above, in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, a table (FIG. 18 (FIG. 18)) determined to control AT at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. The example in which the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by using the table d) is described. However, in the case of (i) above, similarly, in the non-AT, a table in which the winning rate is set so that a smaller number of reached games is determined at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state is used. Thus, the AT lottery may be configured so as to be advantageous to the player. Similarly, in the case of (c) above, in a non-AT, by using a table in which the winning rate is set so that a smaller number of arrivals is determined at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. The AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player.

  In FIG. 18 of the above-described embodiment, as the notification condition related to the period controlled in the notification period, (d) the fact that the number of games digested in AT has reached the number of finished games corresponding to the number of acquired navigation stocks. As a condition, the ratio of determining the number of navigation stocks in the slot machine that ends the control to the AT, that is, the ratio of determining the number of finished games is illustrated. However, as a notification condition related to the period to be controlled in the notification period, (e) a predetermined end lottery is executed in accordance with the end probability determined in advance in the AT, and the control to the AT is performed on the condition that the end lottery is won The ratio at which the end probability is determined in the slot machine that finishes, (f) The slot machine that finishes the control to the AT on condition that the number of times that the navigation effect has been executed by winning the fall replay at the AT has reached the specified number The ratio for determining the prescribed number of times may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the case of (d) above, in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, a larger number of navigation stocks, that is, a larger number of finished games is higher than in the normal gaming state. The example in which the AT lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by using the table determined by the ratio (the table in FIG. 18D) has been described. However, in the case of (e) above, similarly, in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, the winning rate is set so that a lower end probability is determined at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. By using a table, an AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player. Similarly, in the case of (F), in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, the winning rate is set so that a larger number of prescribed times is determined at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. By using a table, an AT lottery may be configured to be advantageous to the player.

  The notification conditions include, for example, a ratio for determining a winning probability in a slot machine that draws whether or not a navigation effect is to be executed at the time of winning a fall replay at (ki) AT, and executes a navigation effect when winning. It may be. Similarly in the case of (ki), in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, a table in which the winning rate is set so that a higher winning probability is determined at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. It may be configured to perform an AT lottery so as to be advantageous for the player.

  In addition, the notification condition may be any of the above (A) to (K), or may be selectively combined among the above (A) to (K). Even if the notification condition is any one of the above (A) to (K) or a combination of (A) to (K), the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  (36) As shown in (35) above, at least (a) the number of games digested in the preparatory mode or CZ non-AT is determined in advance as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period. The ratio of determining the number of games reached until the start of control to the AT in the slot machine controlled by the AT on the condition that the number of games has been reached, (c) Winning the fall replay won in the preparation mode or CZ non-AT In a slot machine that adopts a ratio for determining the number of times to reach control at the AT in the slot machine that is controlled in the notification period on the condition that the number of times of avoidance that has been avoided has reached the determined number of arrivals, etc. Makes it possible to specify the type of replay that was won during the fall replay win in non-AT until the notification period A means for controlling the non-period notification possible period for executing the navigation effect, and a means for executing the navigation effect that enables the type of replay selected at the time of the fall replay win to be specified on the condition that it is the non-period notification possible period. It may be provided. In this case, as a notification condition related to whether or not to start the notification period, it is further provided that the number of games digested in the non-period notification possible period has reached a predetermined number of out-of-period end games. As a ratio of determining the end-of-period end game in the slot machine that ends the control to the out-of-period notification possible period, (k) a predetermined out-of-period end lottery according to a predetermined out-of-period end probability in the out-of-period notification possible period The ratio of determining the out-of-period end probability in the slot machine that finishes the control to the out-of-period notification possible period on condition that the lottery is won in the out-of-period end lottery. The control to the non-period notification possible period is terminated on condition that the number of times that the replay is won and the navigation effect is executed reaches the prescribed number of times outside the period. Percentage that determines periods outside predetermined number of times in the slot machine, or the like may be used.

  In the case of (c) above, in the preparation mode and non-AT of CZ, the player can use a table that determines a higher number of out-of-period end games at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. You may comprise so that AT lottery including the lottery regarding the period which can be notified outside a period may be advantageous. In the case of the above (K), in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, it is advantageous for the player by using a table for determining a lower out-of-period end probability at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. It may be configured to perform an AT lottery including a lottery related to an out-of-period notification possible period. In the case of the above (c), in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, it is advantageous for the player by using a table that determines a higher number of out-of-period prescribed times at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. As described above, an AT lottery including a lottery related to an out-of-period notification possible period may be configured.

  In addition, for example, the notification condition is determined by lottery whether or not the navigation effect is executed at the time of winning the fall replay in the (sa) outside notification possible period, and the winning probability is determined in the slot machine that executes the navigation effect when winning. It may be the ratio to do. Similarly, in the case of (S), in the preparation mode and CZ non-AT, it is advantageous for the player by using a table for determining a higher winning probability at a higher rate than in the normal gaming state. As such, the AT lottery including the lottery related to the out-of-period notification possible period may be configured.

  In addition, the notification conditions in the slot machine may be any of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa), and the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku). It may be one that is selectively combined among (s). Even if the notification condition is any of the above (a) to (ki) and the above (ku) to (sa) or selectively combined, other than the notification period in the period controlled to the advantageous state Since the notification conditions are set so as to be more advantageous to the player than in the normal state, the player can proceed with the game with expectation and improve the interest of the game. it can.

(37) In the above-described embodiment, it may be configured to be controlled to a type of preparation mode depending on whether it is a big bonus or a regular bonus among a plurality of types of preparation modes. In addition, if the plurality of types of preparation modes include a preparation mode of a type that is not controlled from the game started in the preparation mode to the normal gaming state, for example, the falling replay is won with a predetermined probability and the falling replay is won. sometimes but it may also be one that contains the set type preparation mode of to be controlled to the normal gaming state. In this case, for example, when the big bonus (1) is finished, a state (for example, winning a fall replay with a predetermined probability) that is controlled when the big bonus (2) is finished (for example, winning) (for example, It may be configured to be controlled such as not winning the fall replay. Also, the first advantageous RT controlled from the preparation mode controlled when the big bonus (1) ends is more than the first advantageous RT controlled from the preparation mode controlled when the big bonus (2) ends. You may comprise so that it may be controlled to an advantageous state (For example, the win rate of a normal replay is high, there are many regulation games, etc.). In this case, the combination of bonuses that triggers the control to the preparation mode may be composed of different symbols for the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel. For example, the big bonus (1) may be “red 7-grape-melon”, the big bonus (2) may be “grape-white 7-BAR”, and the regular bonus may be “melon-strawberry-watermelon”. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to understand which bonus is won when a bonus is won. As a result, it can be difficult to understand which type of RT is controlled.

  Further, in such a configuration, the bonus effect may be such that the player cannot specify the type of bonus being controlled by performing the same content regardless of the type of bonus. This makes it difficult for the player to identify the type of bonus from the combination of symbols at the end of the game, and makes it difficult for the player to notice which type of bonus is being controlled. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to specify the type of the preparation mode controlled after the bonus ends.

  Further, in the case of such a configuration, the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is made larger than the area of the see-through window 3 of the variable display device 2 and close to the height of the player's line of sight. You may install in the position which is easier to visually recognize than the window 3. FIG. Then, on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51, a virtual reel for scrolling the symbols in accordance with the display state of the variable display device 2 is displayed, and the effect symbols corresponding to the display results of the variable display device 2 are displayed in a variable manner. You may comprise so that it may display on the winning line of the virtual reel to make. Specifically, when a combination of grapes is derived in the variable display device 2, “grape-grape-grape” may be stopped and displayed on the winning line on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, the player can proceed with the game by viewing the variable reels 2 by displaying the virtual reels. In such a slot machine, when any of the bonuses that trigger the above-described preparation mode or RT control is won, the winning line on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed regardless of the type of bonus that has been won. You may comprise so that common "7-7-7" may be stopped and displayed. This makes it difficult for a player who visually recognizes the liquid crystal display 51 to proceed with the game and to determine which type of bonus has been won. As a result, it is possible to obscure which kind of preparation mode is controlled.

  (38) In the above-described embodiment, the slot machine to which medals are applied as a game medium used for setting a bet number or giving a game value associated with winning is described as an example. However, the slot machine embodying the present invention may be a slot machine (so-called parrot) to which a game ball used in a pachinko gaming machine is applied as a game medium. When game balls are used as game media, for example, one medal can correspond to five game balls, and when three bets are set in the above embodiment, 15 game balls are used. This is equivalent to setting the number of bets using.

  (39) In the above embodiment, the slot machine for setting the bet number using medals and credits is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the bet number is set using a game ball. Or a fully credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set the number of bets.

  Further, in addition to the medal insertion mechanism such as the flow path switching solenoid 30 and the insertion medal sensor 31, a ball take-in device that takes in game balls, and a take-in ball that detects game balls taken in by the ball take-in device In addition to a medal payout mechanism, such as a hopper motor 34b and a payout sensor 34c, a ball payout device for paying out game balls, a payout ball detection switch for detecting game balls payed out by the ball payout device It is possible to set the number of bets using both medals and game balls and play a game, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine in which medals and game balls are paid out when a winning occurs.

  (40) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18D and the like, the lottery condition is satisfied and the lottery condition is satisfied every time a period of 5 games is consumed as a predetermined period when it is non-AT. An example in which the 2AT lottery is performed has been described. However, the predetermined period is not limited to a period in which the game is consumed a predetermined number of times, but is a period until a specific winning combination (for example, melon) is won or won a predetermined number of times, a period until a predetermined number of times for a fall replay, and a predetermined time elapses. It may be a period of time. Thereby, when it is non-AT, a player can be made to pay attention to whether a predetermined period passes, and the interest of a game can be improved.

  (41) In FIG. 6 and FIG. 22, when the specified number of games is exhausted in RT (first advantageous RT, second advantageous RT), the probability of winning any replay is set lower than RT. In addition, an example in which the CZ is controlled more disadvantageously than the RT has been described. However, when the specified number of games is exhausted in RT, the probability of winning one of the replays may be set to the same level as RT, and control may be performed to infinite RT with no limit on the number of games. As a result, even after the RT is finished, the player can maintain a state advantageous for the player in the replay winning probability, but the player can have a sense of tension against being controlled to the normal game state by the fall replay winning a prize. , You can improve the fun of the game.
