The general game in this embodiment is controlled to a state according to the operation mode of the RT function, and is controlled to a state according to the type during the operation of the RT function. In the general game, the RT function may be controlled to a non-RT game in which the RT function is not activated and the winning probability of the combined replay combination is set to the high probability lottery state. Further, in the general game by the RT function, there is a case where the RT function is activated and the RT1 game or the RT2 game in which the combined winning probability of the replay combination is set to the low probability lottery state may be controlled. As will be described in detail later, the RT1 game is controlled only after the BN game ends. Further, in the general game by the RT function, there is a case where the RT function is controlled to the RT3 game in which the RT function is activated and the winning probability of the combined replay combination is set to the high probability lottery state. Note that the types of replay roles that are the winning combinations are different between the non-RT game and the RT3 game that are both set to the high probability lottery state. In addition, the RT1 game and the RT2 game that are both set to the low-probability lottery state have different types of replay roles that are the targets of the winning combination. In the following explanation, a general game controlled by a non-RT game is called a “non-RT game”, a general game controlled by an RT1 game is called a “RT game after BN”, and a general game controlled by an RT2 game. The general game controlled by RT3 game is called “high-probability RT game”.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislo 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 40 that controls the entire gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the pachislot machine 10. The main control board 40 executes various processes for controlling the entire gaming machine, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. In addition, a sub-control board 41 is mounted on the rear side of the machine to execute effect control according to the gaming state. The sub control board 41 receives various control signals output from the main control board 40 and executes predetermined control based on the control signals.

  Connected to the main control board 40 are each reel (left reel 13L, middle reel 13C, and right reel 13R) constituting the drum unit 13, reel sensors SE1 to SE3, medal sensor SE4, sub control board 41, and hopper 38. Yes. Further, various information display sections 19 provided on the central panel 15 are connected to the main control board 40. Further, the BET button 28, the MAXBET button 29, the settlement switch 31, the start lever 32, and the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are connected to the main control board 40. Further, the effect display device 14 is connected to the sub control board 41. Further, a speaker SP and a lamp R are connected to the sub control board 41.

Hereinafter, the main control board 40 will be described.
The main control board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a, and a main control ROM 40b and a main control RAM 40c are connected to the main control CPU 40a. The main control CPU 40a sequentially updates the values of various random numbers such as a winning combination determination random number every predetermined cycle, sets the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 40c, and rewrites the values before the update. . The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination) according to the winning combination determination table.

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the reel sensors SE1 to SE3 connected to the main control CPU 40a in accordance with the symbol (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. It has come to be. The left reel 13L corresponds to the first position signal, the middle reel 13C corresponds to the second position signal, and the right reel 13R corresponds to the third position signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the first to third position signals, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the first to third position signals. . The medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected is input to the main control board 40 (main control CPU 40a) every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. It has become.

  Further, when the connected BET button 28, MAXBET button 29, checkout switch 31, start lever 32, and stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input. A hopper 38 is connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program for controlling the pachislot 10. In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning combination are determined as an allocation range of winning combination determination random numbers. Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4 stored in the main control ROM 40b will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of winning combination to be selected and the winning probability of each winning unit to be selected (number based on the range of random values). ) Is stored in a table for each gaming state. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state.

  In general games, the winning combination determination table T0 for non-RT games, the winning combination determination table T1 for RT games after BN, the winning combination determination table T2 for low probability RT games, and the winning combination determination table for high probability RT games T3 is associated with each. In the BN game, a winning combination determination table T4 is associated. In the SIN game, a winning combination determination table based on a general game at the time of winning the SIN combination is used.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), in the general game in this embodiment, the winning probability of the combined replay role is a non-RT game and a high-probability RT game, compared to a post-BN RT game and a low-probability RT game. Random numbers that are determined to win the winning combination are distributed. In the general game, the maintenance replay role can be won only in the RT game after BN, and the maintenance replay role is set as the main winning role as the replay role in the RT game after BN. Also, in general games, it is possible to win the unrecognized fall replay role only in the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game, and the unrecognized fall replay role is the main winning role as the replay role in the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game. It is set to become. In this case, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the unrecognized falling replay combination is greatly increased in the high probability RT game compared to the low probability RT game. Also, in general games, it is possible to win a push-down fall replay role and a rising replay role only in a non-RT game, and in the non-RT game, a push-down fall replay role and a rise replay role are the main winning roles. Is set to In this case, the winning combination determination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the push-down falling replay combination is higher than the winning probability of the rising replay combination. In the BN game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the replay combination is not a lottery target.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in the non-RT game and the highly-probable RT game in which the winning probability of the combined replay role is set to the high probability lottery state, the amount of medals held by the player is easily increased. It is possible to give a player a benefit that the number of scenes to be (input) can be reduced. Furthermore, in these non-RT games and high-definition RT games, it is possible to give a player a chance to increase the number of medals by receiving the BN lottery while suppressing consumption (injection) of medals owned by the player. . Such a non-RT game and a highly reliable RT game are game states (control states) that are advantageous to the player in general games.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the cherry role, the watermelon role, and the bell role can be won in the general game and the BN game, and the winning probability of the cherry role is the watermelon role or the bell. The winning combination random numbers are distributed so as to be lower than the combination.

  In the BN game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning combination probability of the bell combination is greatly increased as compared with the general game. In each gaming state, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the left correct bell combination, the middle correct bell combination, and the right correct bell combination are the same if the winning probabilities are the same gaming state. In the BN game, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the bell combination is a main lottery object.

  In the present embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the sum of the bell roles is greatly increased as compared with general games, it is possible to increase the number of medals owned by the player by the amount easily won the bell role and easily obtain the award medal. Profits that can be made can be given to the player. As a result, in the BN game, the player can be given a chance to increase the medals owned by the player.

  The winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the SIN combination can be won only in a general game, and the winning probability is higher than the watermelon combination and lower than the sum of the bell combination. In this case, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the SIN combination is the same probability in a general game.

  In addition, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the white seven role and the fake role can be won only in the BN game, and the winning probability is lower than the winning probability of the bell role. In addition, the winning combination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the white seven role is lower than the winning probability of the fake role.

  In the general game, the winning probability of the BN combination is set to a predetermined probability. In this embodiment, for example, the winning probability of the BN combination is set to 1/300 (1/300). In the BN game and the SIN game, it is determined that the BN role, the replay role, and the SIN role are not subject to the lottery for the role lottery. Further, in the winning combination determination table in the bonus standby state to be described later, the winning probability of the small combination is set to a predetermined probability. Then, when winning the BN role or SIN role in the winning combination determination table in the bonus waiting state to be described later, the winning is replaced (rewritten) with the winning of another winning combination (small role or dismissal role).

Hereinafter, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control ROM 41b and a sub-control RAM 41c are connected to the sub-control CPU 41a. The sub-control ROM 41b stores sub-control programs for performing various game effects. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern indicating the light emission mode of the lamp R. Is remembered. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, in the sub control RAM 41c, sub state information (flags, etc.) relating to the gaming state is stored (set) by the sub control CPU 41a.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 19 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls. When the main control CPU 40a pays out an award medal based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 38 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. The main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 38 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the bet number when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 27 or when an operation signal of each BET button 28, 29 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits each time the BET buttons 28 and 29 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set. The main control CPU 40a causes a state in which the bet number can be set in a state where the bet effective time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game.

  Subsequently, in a state where the game can be started, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 32 is input. Then, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not there is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination using the winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. The main control CPU 40a recognizes the gaming state by setting state information (such as a flag) indicating the gaming state in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the role lottery in this way functions as a winning combination lottery means.

  When determining the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined winning combination. The main control CPU 40a carries over the BN role information in the main control RAM 40c until the BN role is won when the BN role is won. The state in which the role information of the BN combination is carried over in this way is a bonus standby state in which the BN combination is waiting for winning. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when determining the winning of the small role or SIN role, for the main control with the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not these winning roles are won The small role and SIN role information in the RAM 40c is deleted.

  For this reason, the BN combination becomes a combination that can be carried over over the variable game until the winning is determined by the combination lottery. On the other hand, in the case of a small role or SIN role, the winning decision by the role lottery is valid only in one variation game, and it becomes a combination that cannot be carried over the subsequent variation game regardless of whether or not it is won. .

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the operation of the start lever 32 by the player is detected (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and the lottery result of the role lottery and A variable game start command indicating a gaming state in which the variable game is played is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). If there is a BN combination carried over, this variable game start command also instructs the combination information. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 32 by the player, and in the state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game, each reel is started so as to start the rotation operation of each reel. Control. Further, the variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) may be output in accordance with the start of the rotation operation of each reel.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R based on the player's operation, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps the change status of each reel during the change of each reel and the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel from the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel. ing. The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control for the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. With the various operation signals of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R, the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) recognizes the operation status of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R by the player.

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
Based on the determined winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing at which each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated by the player. Stop the combination of symbols. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel being rotated, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player with the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R, and the timing of the stop operation by the player does not match the timing at which each reel stops (so-called so-called). , “Slip”). For example, in the control with “slip”, when the timing of the stop operation by the player for the symbol to be stopped is early, each reel is forced to slide in the fluctuation direction of each reel and the symbol to be stopped is stopped on the winning line. Let

  Therefore, in each reel, if there are not more than 5 other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, as a result of slip control, stop the types of symbols that were stopped on any winning line. Can be displayed. On the other hand, on each reel, if there are five or more other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, the symbols of the types that were stopped on any winning line will be stopped even if slip control is involved. It may not be possible to In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs stop control of each reel based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R functions as a stop control means.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination). On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a indicates that there is a possibility of winning the BN role if the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the BN role is won (carrying over the winning). Stop the “chance eyes”. Note that this “chance” is not stopped when the winning combination is won. In this case, a BN combination is missed (combination of combination information) is generated.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stop stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. In this case, the cherry role is missed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the off-stop stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. In this case, a watermelon role is missed.

Further, when neither winning combination (BN combination and small combination) is determined (at the time of winning the winning combination), the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stopping stop eye.
Next, stop control at the time of winning of the bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, and right correct bell role) and replay role (maintenance replay role, fall replay role, and rising replay role) will be described.

  In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the “left correct bell role”, “middle correct bell role”, and “right correct bell role” are selected, the bell is based on the stop button that is operated first among the three stop buttons. Any one of the stop eyes and the stop eyes is stopped and displayed. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the bell combinations is selected.

  Then, when winning the right correct bell combination, the bell stop eye is stopped and displayed as a correct answer in the pressing order that the stop button 33L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, if one of the stop buttons 33C and 33R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first, the stop stop eye (bell spilling eye) is stopped as an incorrect answer. Is displayed.

  Further, when the middle correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye is stopped and displayed with the stop button 33C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C being operated first as a correct push order. On the other hand, at the time of winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 33L, 33R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first. Is displayed.

  Further, when winning the right correct bell combination, the stop button 33R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and the bell stop eye is stopped and displayed as a correct push order. On the other hand, when winning the right correct bell combination, the stop button 33L, 33C for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first. Is displayed.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the correct answer is the pushing order when the bell role is won. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stop stop eye (bell spilling eye) regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the pushing order is incorrect when the bell role is won. In the present embodiment, a predetermined combination of symbols is associated with the bell spilled eyes.

  The main control CPU 40a differs in the control performed based on the winning content when the replay combination is won. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the falling replay role (including the unquestioned falling replay role) and the rising replay role having the concept of the pushing order with respect to winning among the replay roles, Are determined in duplicate (decision of duplicate winning). That is, the main control CPU 40a sets or maintains combination information indicating the winning of the fall replay role and the maintenance replay role when determining the winning of the fall replay role and the rising replay role among the replay roles. For example, combination information indicating the winning combination of the replay combination is set. For this reason, when the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the maintenance replay role, it is not based on the winning of the fall replay role or the rising replay role when it is determined to be a duplicate winning based on the winning of the falling replay role or the rising replay role. There are times when it is a single winner (single winner). In the following, when the winning of the fall replay role or the rising replay role is shown, it means the time when the maintenance replay role is also won.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the maintenance replay stop eye as the winning of the maintenance replay role to be selected independently regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player at the time of winning the maintenance replay role to be the single winning.

  In the present embodiment, when the fall replay combination is won, if the stop button that is operated first among the three stop buttons is a specific operation that is correct, the fall replay stop eye is stopped and displayed. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the falling replay winning combinations is selected.

  Then, when the left correct answer fall replay winning combination is won, the first stop button 33L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the fall replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  Further, when the middle correct answer fall replay combination is won, the first stop button 33C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C is operated first, and the stop replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, when the right correct fall replay winning combination is won, the first stop button 33R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and the fall replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a fall replay stop mark as a fall replay winning combination regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the push forward fall replay role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the push-down falling replay role, if the answer is incorrect in the push order, the maintenance replay stop eye is determined to win the maintenance replay role that is a double win regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. To stop display.

  Note that the main control CPU 40a determines the correct timing of the stop operation by the player regardless of the stop button that is operated first among the three stop buttons when the unrecognized fall replay role is selected among the fall replay roles. Regardless of the fall replay role that will be awarded for the fall replay role, the stop replay stop eye is displayed. At the time of winning the unrecognized fall replay role, the maintenance replay role is also won repeatedly, but the fall replay stop eye can be won regardless of the stop operation by the player, so the maintenance replay stop eye cannot be stopped and displayed. It will be.

  In the present embodiment, when the rising replay combination is won, if the stop button that is operated first among the three stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R is a specific operation that is correct, the rising replay stop eye is stopped and displayed. Is done. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the rising replay winning combinations is selected.

  Then, when winning the left correct answer ascending replay combination, the first stop button 33L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the ascending replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  Further, when the middle correct ascending replay combination is won, the first stop button 33C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C is operated first, and the ascending replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  When the right correct answer ascending replay combination is won, the first stop button 33R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and the ascending replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the ascending replay stop eye that is a prize for the ascending replay role regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the winning repelling role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops the maintenance replay stop as the winning of the maintenance replay role that is won repeatedly regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the rising replay role is won. Display.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the SIN stop eye when the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the SIN role is won. On the other hand, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the SIN role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the SIN spill stop. In this case, the SIN combination is missed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the SIN combination is won, the player can be made aware of the SIN spill stop by displaying the stop of the SIN spill stop.

  In the present embodiment, the symbols of each row constituting the SIN stop eye are only one symbol in the arrangement of each reel. For this reason, at the time of winning the SIN combination, the SIN stop eye can be stopped and displayed only when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol corresponding to the SIN stop time is stopped and displayed in each column with the slip control. On the other hand, at the time of winning the SIN role, the stop operation is performed at a timing at which none of the symbols corresponding to the SIN stop marks are displayed in each column even with the slip control, so that the stop display of the SIN stop is avoided and the SIN The spill stop eye may be stopped. In the present embodiment, the left reel 13L is configured to be able to avoid the stop display of the SIN stop when the stop operation is performed at the timing to display the stop of [Cherry].

Next, stop control at the time of winning the white seven role and the fake role will be described.
When determining the winning of the white seven role, the main control CPU 40a in the present embodiment is configured to simultaneously determine the winning of the fake role (determine the overlapping winning). The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the white seven stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the white seven role is won. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the white seven stop eye on the winning line L4. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the fake stop that is the winning of the fake role that is the double winning if the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the white seven role is won. . At this time, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the fake stop eye on the pay line L4.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays one of a plurality of types of fake stop eyes according to the timing of the stop operation by the player when the fake combination is won. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the fake stop eye on the winning line L4. Incidentally, when the timing of the stop operation for the left reel 13L is the timing at which [White Seven] can be stopped and displayed at the left reel lower stop position D3, the main control CPU 40a [ [White Seven] is stopped. Further, when the timing of the stop operation on the middle reel 13C is the timing at which [White Seven] can be stopped and displayed at the middle reel middle stop position D5, the main control CPU 40a [ [White Seven] is stopped.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads out the combination information from the main control RAM 40c, and performs a winning determination for determining whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the read combination information (winning combination) is stopped and displayed on the winning line. . Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input with each reel being stopped, and the combination is the role information. It is determined whether or not the winning mode corresponds to (winning role). The main control CPU 40a determines winning (affirmative) when the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is the winning mode corresponding to the winning information (winning winning combination), while the winning information is included in the winning information (winning winning combination). If it is not the corresponding prize mode, it is determined that the prize is not won (denial).

  When the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the award mode. In this case, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the gaming state and control for paying out a prize medal in accordance with the prize mode. Further, when determining the winning by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is made to the sub-control board 41 (sub-control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize that the winning combination designated by the variable game start command has won. In addition, in this winning instruction command, the sub-control board 41 (sub-control CPU 41a) recognizes which stop eye (winning mode) is won along with winning.

  When determining the winning of the BN combination, the main control CPU 40a controls the gaming state to shift from the next variable game to the BN game. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs BN game control. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BN payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the start of the BN game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a adds and updates the BN payout number every time a prize medal is awarded to a player in a BN game variation game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game in which the BN payout number exceeds the maximum payout number (360 in this embodiment).

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. On the other hand, the CPU 40a for main control performs control not to give one or more prize medals when the winning of the cherry role is not determined based on the shift stop time when the winning of the cherry role is determined (when the winning of the cherry role is determined). .

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals when determining the winning of the watermelon role. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a performs control not to give one or more prize medals when the watermelon winning combination is not determined based on the shift stop time when the watermelon winning combination is determined (when the watermelon winning is determined to be missed). .

  The main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out nine award medals when determining the winning of the bell role. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a performs control not to give one or more award medals when the winning of the bell role is not determined based on the stoppage of the shift and when the winning of the bell role is not determined (when the missing of the bell role is determined). .

  Further, when determining the winning of the maintenance replay combination (single winning or duplicate winning), the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. In the control for replaying, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined. As will be described later, in this case, the main control CPU 40a also performs control for continuing the gaming state of the variable game for which winning has been determined.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game when determining the winning of the fall replay combination. As will be described later, in this case, the main control CPU 40a also controls the gaming state to end the non-RT game and shift from the next variable game to the low probability RT game if it is a non-RT game, In the case of a low probability RT game or a high probability RT game, control for continuing the gaming state at the time of winning is also performed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game when determining the winning of the rising replay combination. As will be described later, in this case, the main control CPU 40a also controls the gaming state in which the non-RT game is terminated and the next variable game is shifted to the high-definition RT game if it is a non-RT game. Become.

  Further, when determining the winning of the SIN role, the main control CPU 40a controls the gaming state to shift to the SIN game for the next one variation game. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs SIN game control. In the SIN game control, the main control CPU 40a ends the SIN game with the end of one variable game that is the target of the SIN game. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls to enter the gaming state at the time of winning the SIN role that triggered the SIN game, including the SIN game.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control not to give one or more prize medals when the winning of the SIN role is not determined based on the stop of the SIN spillage when the winning of the SIN role is not determined (when the SIN role is missed). Do. As will be described later, in this case, if the post-BN RT game is in progress, the main control CPU 40a also ends the post-BN RT game and controls the gaming state to shift from the next variable game to the non-RT game. On the other hand, if the game state is other, control for continuing the game state at the time of winning is also performed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out nine award medals when determining the winning of the white seven role. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out nine award medals when determining the winning of the fake combination.

Next, the transition state of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
When shifting the gaming state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the transitioned gaming state to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This state instruction command causes the sub-control board 41 (sub-control CPU 41a) to recognize which game state is managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a makes the transition from the next variable game to the BN game (BN) with the winning of the BN role won in the general game (BN winning) as a trigger. In this case, the main control CPU 40a makes the transition from the next variable game to the RT game after BN regardless of the game state at the time of winning when the BN game ends.

  In addition, during the control of the RT game after BN, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and triggers the display of the stop of the SIN spillage stop (SIN spillage) based on the SIN spill. To migrate. During the control of the RT game after BN, the main control CPU 40a wins the RT game after the BN from the next floating game depending on the SIN stop (SIN) stop display based on the winning of the SIN role. Let it continue. Further, during the control of the post-BN RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the post-BN RT game from the next variable game depending on the stop display of the maintenance replay stop based on the winning of the maintenance replay role by winning the maintenance replay role. Let it continue.

  The post-BN RT game is continued until the next bonus combination is won if there is no missing SIN combination. Therefore, there is no upper limit for the number of variable games controlled in the post-BN RT game. Infinite ". On the other hand, in the RT game after BN, it is impossible to shift to a non-RT game or a high-definition RT game unless the SIN is lost.

  In addition, during the control of the non-RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role and the next change is triggered by the stop replay stop indication (fall) based on the winning of the fall replay role by the correct answer. Shift from games to low probability RT games. Further, during the control of the non-RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the ascending replay role and pushes the rising replay stop eye (rising) stop display based on winning of the ascending replay role according to the correct order of push. Shift from games to high-definition RT games. Note that during control of non-RT games, the main control CPU 40a may change the next change depending on the stop replay stop display based on the winning of the maintenance replay role by winning the falling replay role or ascending replay role and pushing the incorrect order. Continue non-RT games from the game. Further, during the control of the non-RT game, the main control CPU 40a continues the non-RT game regardless of whether or not the SIN role is won and the SIN role is won.

  A non-RT game is awarded until the next bonus combination is won if the falling replay combination or the rising replay combination is won and no correct answer is generated. For this reason, in a non-RT game, while winning the falling replay combination and avoiding the correct push order, the winning replay combination is won and the correct push order is answered, so that it is possible to shift to the high probability RT game.

  Further, during the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a continues the low probability RT game while performing the variable game in the low probability RT game 32 times, and also executes the variable game in the low probability RT game 32. Triggered by the number of times played, the next game is changed to non-RT game. During the control of the low-accuracy RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the unrecognized fall replay role, and depending on the stop display of the fall replay stop based on the winning of the fall replay role by the correct answer, the main control CPU 40a Will continue the low probability RT game. In addition, during the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a is related to whether or not the SIN role is won by winning the SIN role, except in the case of the 32nd time of the variable game in the low probability RT game. Continue low proficiency RT games.

  During control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of executions of the variable game including the SIN game after controlling to the low-probability RT game. Understand the timing of migration. The number of executions is cleared (erased) after the BN game is won and the transition to the post-BN RT game is made.

  In the low probability RT game, the upper limit of the number of variable games controlled by the low probability RT game is “32 times”. For this reason, in the low probability RT game, the game shifts to a non-RT game and has a chance to shift to the high probability RT game through 32 fluctuating games.

  In addition, during the control of the high-definition RT game, the main control CPU 40a continues the high-precision RT game while the variable game in the high-probability RT game is performed 30 times as a predetermined number of times, and in the high-precision RT game. When the variable game is played 30 times, the next variable game is shifted to the non-RT game. During the control of the high-definition RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the unrecognized falling replay role, and depending on the stop display of the falling replay stop based on the winning of the falling replay role by the correct answer, the main control CPU 40a Will continue high-definition RT games. In addition, during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a is related to whether or not the SIN role is won by winning the SIN role, except in the case of the 30th time of the variable game in the high probability RT game. Continue high-definition RT games.

  During the control of the high-definition RT game, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of executions of the variable game including the SIN game after controlling to the high-probability RT game. Understand the timing of migration. The number of executions is cleared (erased) after the BN game is won and the transition to the post-BN RT game is made.

  In the high-definition RT game, the upper limit of the number of variable games controlled by the high-probability RT game is limited to “30”. For this reason, the highly probable RT game shifts to a non-RT game through 30 fluctuation games, and shifts to a state in which there is a chance to shift to the highly probable RT game.

  In this embodiment, when high-probability RT games and non-RT games are compared, the winning probabilities for the combined replay roles are both in the high-probability lottery state, while the conditions for allowing these gaming states to be continued are different. Yes. Once started, the high-definition RT game is continued over at least 30 fluctuating games except when a BN role is won in the middle. On the other hand, once started, the non-RT game is continued across the fluctuating game until the tumbling replay stop eye or the rising replay stop eye is stopped and displayed, except when winning the BN role in the middle. In non-RT games, in addition to being more likely to win the fall replay role than the climbing replay role, the player will win the fall replay role and move to a low-probability RT game with about 1/5 of the correct answer. As a result, it is difficult to continue compared to high-definition RT games.

Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls display contents of the effect display device 14 so as to execute various effects based on the contents instructed by the commands. In addition, when the state instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating which gaming state is controlled in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a sets sub-state information and grasps the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control related to various effects every time a variable game start command is input.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state in the effect display device 14 in accordance with the game state controlled by the main control CPU 40a. Note that the player plays a variable game according to the effect state on the effect display device 14. In such an effect state, the player is made aware of the game state based on the type, or an effect that allows the player to play the game advantageously is performed. The effect states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types as shown in FIG.

  In the effect state, there is an ART mode performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. The ART mode is a state in which it is notified that the game is a high probability RT game. The ART mode is a state of a chance to increase the number of prize medals by performing an effect assisting the winning of the bell role. In the present embodiment, the transition of the highly probable RT game in the gaming state and the transition of the ART mode in the effect state are controlled in synchronization.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that can be performed when the gaming state is a low-probability RT game or a non-RT game. In the case of the normal mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the normal mode. The normal mode is a state in which it is notified that a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game can be obtained. Further, the normal mode is a state in which it is difficult to increase the number of award medals by performing the performance so as to make it difficult to win the bell role.

  The effect state includes a high-accuracy mode that can be performed when the gaming state is a low-probability RT game or a non-RT game. In the high-accuracy mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the high-accuracy mode. The high-accuracy mode is a state in which it is informed that a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game can be obtained. Further, the high probability mode is a state in which the expectation for obtaining a chance to lead to a high probability RT game is higher than that in the normal mode. Further, the high-accuracy mode is a state in which it is difficult to increase the number of award medals by performing the performance so as to make it difficult to win the bell role.

  Further, the effect state includes a navigation-free probability changing mode that is performed when the game state is a non-RT game. In the navigation display without probability change mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the navigation without probability change mode. The no-navigation probability change mode is a state in which it is informed that a chance to lead to a highly reliable RT game is given. In addition, the navigation-free probability changing mode is a state in which the player can obtain the transition to the high-accuracy RT game by himself. The navigation-free probability changing mode is a state of a chance to increase the number of award medals by performing an effect that assists the winning of the bell role.

  The effect state includes a probability change mode that is performed when the game state is a non-RT game. In the effect display device 14 in the case of the probability change mode, the display screen for the probability change mode is displayed as an image. The probability variation mode is a state in which it is notified that a chance to lead to a highly reliable RT game is given. In addition, the probability change mode is a state in which the player is guided to the high probability RT game by assisting the transition to the high probability RT game. In addition, this probability change mode is a state of a chance to increase the number of award medals by performing an effect that assists the winning of the Bell role.

  The effect state includes a post-BN mode that is performed when the gaming state is post-BN RT game. In the post-BN mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the post-BN mode display screen. This post-BN mode is a state in which it is notified that there is no chance to lead to a highly probable RT game. Further, the post-BN mode is a state in which it is difficult to increase the number of award medals by performing an effect so as to make it difficult to win the bell role.

  The effect state includes a post-BN probability change mode that is performed when the game state is post-BN RT game. In the post-BN probability change mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the post-BN probability change mode display screen. The post-BN probability change mode is a state in which a transition to a probability change mode is given in which a chance to lead to a highly-probable RT game is given. Further, the post-BN probability change mode is a state of a chance to increase the prize medals by performing an effect that assists the winning of the bell role.

  The effect state includes a BN effect state (in BN) performed when the game state is a BN game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the BN effect state.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a sets the effect flag (information) indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c, thereby grasping the controlled effect state. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the display content (display screen) of the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. To do.

Hereinafter, the control contents in each effect state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14.
As a result of performing the control in each production state described below, the sub control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift the production state in the mode shown in FIG.

First, the control contents in the normal mode or the high-accuracy mode (hereinafter referred to as “general mode”) will be described.
When the gaming state is a low-probability RT game or a non-RT game, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to the general mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a may control other than the general mode when the gaming state is a non-RT game.

  While the sub-control CPU 41a is controlling to the general mode, the gaming state goes back and forth between the low probability RT game and the non-RT game. In other words, during the normal mode control, when the game state shifts to the non-RT game due to 32 times of the variable game in the low probability RT game, the variable game is played in the normal mode in the non-RT game. In addition, during the normal mode control, when the game state shifts to the low probability RT game due to the fall replay role winning (falling) in the non-RT game, the variable game is performed in the normal mode in the low probability RT game. . In addition, when the gaming state shifts to non-RT gaming due to 32 times of variation games in low-accuracy RT games during control in high-accuracy mode, the variation games are played in high-accuracy mode in non-RT games. Is called. In addition, when the gaming state shifts to the low-probability RT game due to the fall replay winning a prize (falling) in the non-RT game during the control of the high-probability mode, the variable game is played in the high-probability mode in the low-probability RT game Done.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the control of the general mode. In addition, during the control of the general mode of the low probability RT game, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, fall replay role, and SIN role can be instructed. Further, during the control of the non-RT game general mode, winning and winning of the BN role, the cherry role, the watermelon role, the bell role, the fall replay role, the rising replay role, and the SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the BN effect state when the winning of the BN role is instructed during the control of the general mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an effect of navigating (pushing) the correct answer in the pressing order when the winning of the bell role requiring the pressing order of the stop button is instructed even in the small winning combination. The effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the control of the general mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the general mode, the player can win a prize in a scene where the correct answer happens to happen when the bell role is won.

  Also, the sub-control CPU 41a avoids the correct answer of the falling replay role and the rising replay role when the winning combination of the falling replay role and the rising replay role that requires the pressing order of the stop button in the winning combination is instructed. The effect display device 14 is controlled so as not to produce an effect of navigating (navigating) the correct push order. In addition, in this embodiment, the structure which does not alert | report actively regarding the winning of a fall replay combination and a rising replay combination is employ | adopted during control of general mode. That is, during the control of the general mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to avoid winning the fall replay combination and winning the rising replay combination. For this reason, during the control of the general mode, avoiding the winning in the case where the wrong answer is accidentally pushed when the fall replay role is won, and winning in the scene where the correct answer is accidentally pushed when the rising replay role is won. obtain. In the present embodiment, the falling replay combination and the rising replay combination can be won in the general mode in the non-RT game. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the ART mode when the winning (raising) of the ascending replay role is instructed during the control of the general mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an ART shift lottery during the control of the general mode when the winning of the cherry, watermelon, or SIN combination is instructed among the small combinations. In this ART transfer lottery, “normal mode”, “high-accuracy mode”, “probability variation 10”, “probability variation 30”, “probability variation” are set so as to obtain a predetermined winning probability based on the winning combination designated for each general mode. The random number is assigned to any one of “50”.

  When the ART transition lottery result is “normal mode”, the normal mode being controlled is shifted to the normal mode, while when the ART transition lottery result is “high accuracy mode”, the normal mode being controlled is switched to the high accuracy mode. State is transitioned. Further, when the result of the ART shift lottery is “probability variation 10”, “probability variation 30”, or “probability variation 50”, the state is shifted from the general mode being controlled to the probability variation mode in which the number of probability variation is determined respectively. It becomes like this. In “probability change 10”, the state is shifted to a probability change mode in which the probability change count is “10 times” and control is performed for at least 10 variable games. Further, in the “probability change 30”, the state is shifted to the probability change mode in which the probability change number is “30” and the control is performed for at least 30 variable games. Further, in the “probability change 50”, the state is shifted to a probability change mode in which the probability change number is “50 times” and control is performed for at least 50 variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes a random number update process (random number generation process) for updating the random number value used in the ART transfer lottery and each lottery described later at predetermined intervals. The random numbers used for each lottery are updated every predetermined cycle and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries, and performs random lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

  In such an ART transfer lottery, during the normal mode control, the SIN role win does not involve a mode change, while the watermelon role wins <the cherry role wins in order of high accuracy mode and probability change mode. Yes. Also, in the ART transfer lottery, during the control of the high-accuracy mode, the win for the SIN role shifts almost equally to either the normal mode or the high-accuracy mode, while the win for the watermelon role <the winning mode for the cherry role In addition, it is easy to shift to the probability variation mode, and it is easy to shift to the probability variation mode having a large number of probability variations among the probability variation modes. Further, in the ART transition lottery, it is easy to shift to the high-accuracy mode and the probability variation mode in the order of control in the normal mode <control in the high-accuracy mode, and it is easy to shift to the probability variation mode with a large number of probability variation even in the probability variation mode. .

  Further, when the result of the ART shift lottery is the probability variation 10, 30, 50, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information indicating the number of times of probability variation based on the result (denoted as “probability G” in FIG. 8) in the sub-control RAM 41c. Remember (set). In this case, if the sub-control CPU 41a is “0 (zero)” in which the number of times of probability variation is not set (accuracy G = 0), the sub-control RAM 41c is set so that the number of times of probability variation is based on the ART transition lottery result. Update the stored contents. On the other hand, if the CPU 41a for sub control is other than “0 (zero)” in which the number of times of probability variation is set (accuracy G> 0), the number of times of probability variation based on the result of the ART shift lottery is added. And update to add. Note that the information indicating the probability variation number is continuously stored and held even when a transition to a BN game or other performance state is sandwiched in the middle. In this embodiment, “the number of probability variation is not set” means “0 (zero) is stored in the number of probability variation”, and “the number of probability variation is set” means “the probability variation is This means that the number of times other than “0 (zero)” is stored.

  When the probability variation number is set in the general mode in the low-probability RT game, the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to shift to the non-RT game when the variable game in the low-probability RT game is performed 32 times. In response to this ("probability G> 0"), control is performed so as to shift from the change game in the non-RT game to the probability change mode. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift from the next variation game to the probability variation mode after setting the probability variation number in the general mode in the non-RT game (“probability G> 0”).

  In this way, while the sub-control CPU 41a is controlling to the general mode, the normal mode in the general mode and the high-accuracy mode are traversed through the ART transition lottery. In addition, while the sub-control CPU 41a is controlling to the general mode, the mode shifts from the general mode to the probability change mode through the ART shift lottery.

Next, the control contents in the probability variation mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a non-RT game and the probability variation number is set, the sub control CPU 41a controls the probability variation mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during control in the probability change mode. In addition, during the control of the probability changing mode which is a non-RT game, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, falling replay role, rising replay role, and SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the BN effect state when the winning of the BN role is instructed during the control of the probability change mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a navigates (navigates) the correct push order when the win of the bell role requiring the pressing order of the stop button for winning is instructed in the small change during the control of the probability variation mode. To do. That is, during the control in the probability variation mode, an effect is provided to assist (assist) the winning of the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the probability change mode, the player's winning of the bell role is assisted.

  The bell navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. When the bell navigation effect is executed, the effect display device 14 displays three images SG imitating the stop button side by side and attaches the number “1” to one image SG of the three images SG. Done in In the example of FIG. 9A, “1” is added to the image SG displayed at the center position among the three images SG, so that the player should operate the stop button 33C first. Let me grasp.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game. In the bell navigation production, it is performed with a content that informs the correct push order based on the winning bell role. For example, in the bell navigation effect, if the winning of the middle correct bell role is designated, the stop button 33C is operated first.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a operates in the wrong order in order to avoid winning the falling replay role when the winning of the falling replay role is instructed during the control of the probability variation mode (stop button pressing order). The “falling lip navigation effect” is performed to navigate.

  The fall lip navigation effect in the present embodiment is performed by the effect display device 14 and in the same manner as the bell navigation effect. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to cause a falling-down navigation effect with the start of the variable game. In the fall lip navigation effect, the push order incorrect answer based on the winning fall replay role is notified. For example, in the fall lip navigation effect, if the winning of the middle correct answer fall replay role is designated, the stop button 33L or the stop button 33R is operated first (the stop button 33C is not operated first). As described above, in the present embodiment, during the control of the probability change mode, the notification regarding the winning of the fall replay combination is also actively made.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a navigates the operation method (stop button pressing order) that is the correct push order for winning the ascending replay combination when the winning replay combination is instructed during the control of the probability change mode. (Navigating) “Rip-up navigation effect” is performed.

  The rising Lip Navi effect in the present embodiment is performed on the effect display device 14 and in the same manner as the Bell Navi effect. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the rising Lip navigator effect is performed with the start of the variable game. In the rising Lip navigator effect, the push order correct answer based on the winning rising replay role is notified. For example, in the ascending Lip navigator effect, if the winning of the medium correct ascending replay role is designated, the stop button 33C is operated for the first time. As described above, in this embodiment, during the control of the probability variation mode, the winning replay combination is also actively notified.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the probability change mode (penalty) when a winning (fall) of the fall replay combination is instructed during the control of the probability change mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. During the control of the probability change mode, a fall lip navigation effect is performed at the time of winning the fall replay role, so that it is usually possible to avoid winning the fall replay role. However, by ignoring or not noticing the fall rip navigator effect, for players who have accidentally won the fall replay role and have transitioned the gaming state to the low probability RT game, the bell navigator effect is Penalties that will not be given are awarded.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the bell navigation effect is not performed when the winning of the bell role is performed during the control of the probability variation mode (penalty). Further, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts again to the probability change mode immediately before the penalty is given when the change game in the low probability RT game is performed 32 times and the game state is instructed to shift to the non-RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the ART mode when a winning (rising) of the ascending replay role is instructed during the control in the probability changing mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game. In addition, when controlling to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a stores and holds the storage contents of the number of times of change of accuracy in the sub control RAM 41c as information on the probability change mode under control.

Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continues the control in the probability change mode when the winning of the maintenance replay combination is instructed. In this case, the non-RT game is continued in the gaming state.
Further, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the probability change mode by the sub-control RAM 41c during the control of the probability change mode. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the number of times of probability variation every time a variation game is performed in the probability variation mode, and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)".

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a notifies the player of the number of times of probability change. The notification of the number of times of change in the present embodiment (number of times notification) is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, as shown in FIG. 9B, the “NG remaining X times” image NG <b> 1 is displayed. “X” of “X times” is the number of times of probability variation. As a result, the player knows the number of times (the remaining number of times) the variable game is played in the probability variation mode. It should be noted that the number of times notified by the effect display device 14 as the probability variation number is updated and displayed only by subtraction (-1) on the display until the BN role is won even if the BN role is won. On the other hand, the number of times stored and managed in the sub-control RAM 41c as the probability variation number stops being subtracted (−1) by winning the BN role. In addition, at the start of the BN game based on the BN role, the display content of the effect display device 14 is changed so that the number of times stored and managed in the sub-control RAM 41c is the probability variation number.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a can continue the control of the probability variation mode while setting the number of times of probability variation during the control of the probability variation mode, and shift to the probability variation mode (penalty) triggered by the winning of the fall replay role. On the other hand, control is performed so as to shift to the ART mode triggered by the winning of the rising replay combination. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to end the control in the probability variation mode and shift to the no-navigation probability variation mode when the probability variation number is set to “0 (zero)” during the probability variation mode control. In this case, the non-RT game is continued in the gaming state.

Next, the control contents in the no-navigation probability change mode will be described.
Since the gaming state is a non-RT game and the number of times of probability change is not set, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to the no-navigation probability change mode when shifting from the probability change mode or the ART mode described later.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning instructions during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode. In addition, during the control of the no-navigation probability change mode that is a non-RT game, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, falling replay role, rising replay role, and SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the BN effect state when the winning of the BN role is instructed during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a navigates (navigates) the correct answer in the pressing order when the winning combination of the bell combination requiring the pressing order of the stop button for winning a prize is instructed in the small combination during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode. “Bell Navi production”. That is, during the control in the probability variation mode, an effect is provided to assist (assist) the winning of the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the no-navigation probability changing mode, the player's winning of the bell role is assisted.

  Further, when the winning of the fall replay role and the rising replay role is instructed during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode, the sub-control CPU 41a causes “chance effect” to notify the winning of these replay roles.

  The chance effect in the present embodiment is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, as shown in FIG. 9C, three images SG imitating a stop button are displayed side by side and a “question mark” is attached to the three images SG. In FIG. 9C, since “question mark” is attached to the three images SG, the player does not know which stop button of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R should be operated first.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the chance effect is performed with the start of the variable game. The chance effect is performed in such a manner that the player himself / herself selects which stop button should be operated first. As described above, in this embodiment, during the control in the no-navigation probability change mode, the winning of the fall replay combination and the rising replay combination is actively notified.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the general mode (either the normal mode or the high-accuracy mode) when a winning (falling) of the falling replay role is instructed during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode. . In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. During control in the no-change probability change mode, a chance effect is performed when the fall replay role is elected, but it is not assisted until the winning of the fall replay role is avoided. You can avoid winning.

  In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a performs general transfer lottery. This general transfer lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either the “normal mode” or the “high-accuracy mode” so as to have a predetermined winning probability. When the result of the general transition lottery is “normal mode”, the control mode is shifted from the controlled no-navigation probability changing mode to the normal mode, while when the result of the general transition lottery is “high-accuracy mode”, the control mode is not higher than the controlled navigation-free probability changing mode. The state is shifted to the accurate mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. In such general transfer lottery, it is easier to shift to the normal mode than in the high-accuracy mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the ART mode when a winning (rising) of the ascending replay combination is instructed during the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game. During the control of the no-change probability change mode, a chance effect is performed when the rising replay role is elected, but it is not assisted until the winning of the rising replay role, so that the rising replay role can be awarded in a situation where the correct answer happens to happen. .

  Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continues the control in the no-navigation probability changing mode when the winning of the maintenance replay combination is instructed. In this case, the non-RT game is continued in the gaming state. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not notify the number of certainty changes during the control in the no-navigation certainty change mode because the number of certainty changes is “0 (zero)”.

Next, the contents of control in the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the ART mode when the gaming state is a high probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the control of the ART mode. During the control of the ART mode, which is a high-definition RT game, winning of BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, unquestioned fall replay role, and SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the BN effect state when the winning of the BN role is instructed during the control of the ART mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, during the control of the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a navigates (navigates) the correct pressing order when the winning combination of the bell role requiring the pressing order of the stop button for winning is instructed in the small role. To do. That is, during the control in the probability variation mode, an effect is provided to assist (assist) the winning of the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the ART mode, the player's winning of the bell role is assisted.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (sets) in the sub-control RAM 41c information indicating the number of times of the variable game to be performed in the ART mode when shifting to the ART mode from another effect state (effect mode). Note that the information indicating the number of ARTs is reset to “0 (zero)” when a transition to BN game is sandwiched in the middle. In the present embodiment, “ART number is not set” means “0 (zero) is stored in the ART number”, and “ART number is set” means “ART This means that the number of times other than “0 (zero)” is stored. The number of ARTs only needs to be counted under the same conditions as the number of executions related to the high-definition RT game managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  The sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the ART mode by the sub-control RAM 41c during the control of the ART mode. The sub-control CPU 41a sets “30” as the number of ARTs in the sub-control RAM 41c when shifting to the ART mode from another effect state (effect mode). The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the number of ARTs every time a variable game is performed in the ART mode, and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)". Further, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the number of ARTs. Thereby, the player can grasp | ascertain the remaining frequency | count of the variable game performed in ART mode.

  The notification of the number of ARTs (number notification) in the present embodiment is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, as shown in FIG. 9B, an image NG <b> 2 of “ART mode remaining X times” is displayed. “X” of “X times” is the number of ARTs. As a result, the player knows the number of times (the remaining number of times) the variable game is played in the ART mode. It should be noted that the number of times notified to the effect display device 14 as the ART number is continuously updated and displayed by subtracting (-1) only on the display until the BN role is won even if the BN role is won. On the other hand, the number of times stored and managed in the sub-control RAM 41c as the ART number stops being subtracted (−1) by winning the BN role.

  Note that the effect display device 14 during the control in the ART mode also displays the image NG1 of “probability remaining X times” together. As a result, the player knows the number of times (the remaining number of times) the variable game is played in the probability variation mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a can continue the ART mode control while setting the ART number during the ART mode control, and if the ART number is set to “0 (zero)”, the ART mode control is performed. And control to shift from the next variation game to the probability variation mode or the probability variation mode without navigation based on the number of probability variation at that time. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to a non-RT game. For this reason, in the present embodiment, game characteristics for providing a variable game in the ART mode using a highly probable RT game in which the upper limit number of times (“30 times”) is set as one set of 30 variable games. Is realized.

  Further, during the control of the ART mode, “when the ART count is“ 0 (zero) ”” means that “the variable game in the ART mode is performed 30 times”, that is, “the gaming state is not changed from the high-definition RT game”. It is “when transitioning to RT games”. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the probability variation mode when the variation game in the ART mode is performed 30 times and the probability variation number is set (accuracy G> 0). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the no-navigation probability variation mode when the variation game in the ART mode is performed 30 times and the probability variation number is not set (accuracy G = 0).

  Further, when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the control of the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the number of bell wins in the sub-control RAM 41c and counts the number of times the bell role is won. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a resets the number of bell wins (sets “0 (zero)”) when shifting to the ART mode from another effect state (effect mode). In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a resets the number of bell wins when shifting to the BN game.

  When the ART number is set to “0 (zero)” during the ART mode control, that is, when the ART mode control is terminated, the sub-control CPU 41a increases the number of times of probability variation based on the number of the winning bells at that time. There are times when special extra processing is performed (adding the number of probability variations). In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the special change count of the sub-control RAM 41c so that “50” is added (added) to the correct change count if the number of bell wins is “0 (zero)”. Process. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the special addition processing if the number of bell wins is other than “0 (zero)”. In this case, even if the number of times of probability variation is not set, the number of times of probability variation based on the special addition processing is added to “0 (zero)” (“0 (zero)” is added). When the special addition process is performed in this way, even if the number of probability changes is “0 (zero)” at the end of the ART mode, the probability change mode is shifted to the probability change mode instead of the no-navigation probability change mode by adding the probability change number. It will be.

Next, the control contents in the post-BN mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the post-BN mode when the gaming state is the post-BN RT game and the probability variation number is not set.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the control of the post-BN mode. In addition, during the control of the post-BN mode, which is a post-BN RT game, winning of the BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, maintenance replay role, and SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the BN effect state when the BN winning combination is instructed during the control in the post-BN mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an effect of navigating (pushing) the correct answer in the pressing order when the winning of the bell role requiring the pressing order of the stop button is instructed even in the small winning combination. The effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the control of the post-BN mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the post-BN mode, the player can win this in a scene that happens to be the correct answer by chance when winning the bell role.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the general mode (either the normal mode or the high-accuracy mode) when an instruction for SIN missing is instructed during the control of the post-BN mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a non-RT game. During the control in the post-BN mode, a stop operation is performed at the timing when the SIN combination is missed, so that the winning of the SIN combination can be avoided and the stop sign of the SIN spilling can be displayed.

  In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the general transition lottery in the same manner as during the control in the no-navigation probability change mode. This general transfer lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either the “normal mode” or the “high-accuracy mode” so as to have a predetermined winning probability. When the result of the general transition lottery is “normal mode”, the control mode is shifted from the controlled no-navigation probability changing mode to the normal mode, while when the result of the general transition lottery is “high-accuracy mode”, the control mode is increased from the controlled no-navigation probability changing mode. The state is shifted to the accurate mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a non-RT game. In such general transfer lottery, it is easier to shift to the normal mode than in the high-accuracy mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continues the control in the post-BN mode when the winning of the SIN role is instructed during the control of the post-BN mode (SIN win). In this case, in the gaming state, the RT game after BN is continued.

Next, the control contents in the post-BN probability change mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the post-BN probability change mode when the gaming state is RT game after BN and the probability change count is set.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning instructions during the control in the post-BN probability change mode. In addition, during the control of the post-BN mode, which is a post-BN RT game, winning of the BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, maintenance replay role, and SIN role can be instructed.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the BN effect state when the winning of BN combination is instructed during the control in the post-BN probability change mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a navigates the navigating correct answer when the winning combination of the bell role requiring the pressing order of the stop button for winning a prize is instructed among the small roles during the control in the post-BN probability change mode. “Bell Navi production”. That is, during the control in the post-BN probability change mode, an effect is provided to assist (assist) the winning of the bell role. For this reason, during the control of the post-BN probability change mode, the player's winning of the bell role is assisted.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the probability variation mode when the SIN missing is instructed (SIN failure) during the control in the post-BN probability variation mode. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a non-RT game. During the control in the post-BN probability change mode, a stop operation is performed at the timing when the SIN combination is missed, so that the SIN spill stop stop eye can be stopped and displayed by avoiding winning of the SIN combination.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the post-BN probability change mode (penalty) when the winning of SIN combination (SIN win) is instructed during the control of the post-BN probability change mode. In this case, in the gaming state, the RT game after BN is continued. Depending on the winning of the SIN role during the control in the post-BN probability change mode, the game state is continued to the RT game after BN and the production state cannot shift to the probability change mode. The transition to the controlled ART mode will be extended.

  During the control in the post-BN probability changing mode, a game is played at the timing when the SIN combination is missed, so that the winning of the SIN combination can be avoided. However, a penalty that prevents the bell navigation effect from being given is given to a player who has made the SIN combination win by mistake in the timing of the stop operation and has continued the RT game after BN as a gaming state.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the bell navigation effect is not performed when the winning combination of the bell is performed during the control of the post-BN probability change mode (penalty). In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the probability changing mode when the game state is instructed to shift to the non-RT game when the next SIN combination is won. The post-BN probability variation mode (penalty) will be described in detail later.

Next, the contents of control in the BN effect state will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls to the BN effect state while the game state is BN game.
When the sub-control CPU 41a controls each effect state to the BN effect state, the effect display device 14 notifies the player of the number corresponding to the BN payout number managed by the main control CPU 40a. The sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the number corresponding to the BN payout number managed by the main control CPU 40a as a result of specifying the winning combination and the prize mode from the various commands from the main control CPU 40a.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is controlled to the BN effect state, the effect display device 14 causes the effect based on the winning combination to be instructed and the effect based on the winning of the winning combination. Controls the display content of. The sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the bell role, causes the bell navigation effect to be performed as in the ART mode control. For this reason, during the control of the BN effect state, the player's winning of the bell role is assisted.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a, when a white seven role or a fake role as a specific winning combination is determined, each stop button 33L, so as to stop the player [white seven] as a specific symbol An effect that prompts the user to operate 33C and 33R (hereinafter, referred to as “white seven-navigation effect”) is performed on the effect display device 14. In this “white seven navigation effect”, each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated to stop “white seven” in each row, and at the same time, the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line. The player is prompted to operate each of the stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R. Thus, in the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that executes the white seven navigation effect corresponding to the stop effect functions as a stop effect control unit.

  Further, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the white seven role is won, “increase in the number of times of probability variation (addition of the number of times of probability variation)” is performed. For this reason, when the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated and the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed at a timing at which [white seven] can be stopped and displayed in the changing game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed. Can make a player recognize that a privilege is granted. Moreover, in the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, the effect which alert | reports the value of the privilege provided based on the winning of a white seven role is performed after a white seven navi effect. In addition, the effect which alert | reports the value of the privilege provided is demonstrated in detail later.

  Further, when the end of the BN game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a ends the control of the BN effect state, and shifts from the next variation game to the post-BN mode or the post-BN probability change mode based on the number of times of probability change. To control. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to post-BN RT gaming. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift to the post-BN mode when the BN effect state is ended and the number of times of probability change is not set (accuracy G = 0). On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a ends the BN effect state and sets the number of times of probability change (accuracy G> 0), the sub-control CPU 41a controls to shift to the post-BN probability variation mode.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the ART mode is advantageous for the player because the gaming state is a highly probable RT game, and an effect for the player to advantageously play a variable game (bell navigation effect) Is a state in which is performed.

  In addition, the general mode is a state in which a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game can be obtained through the ART transfer lottery, but an effect for the player to advantageously play a variable game (bell navigation effect and each lip navigation effect) Is in a state where is not performed. In addition, in the general mode, there may be a non-RT game state in which a replay role can be won with a high probability, but since each rip navigator effect is not performed, it is easy to shift to a low probability RT game and a high probability of the replay role. It is in a state where little benefit can be obtained.

  In addition, the probability change mode is advantageous for the player because the gaming state is a non-RT game and such a gaming state can be continued by the fall lip navigation effect, and for the player to advantageously perform a variable game. This is a state where production (bell navigation production and each Lip Navi production) is performed. In addition, the probability change mode is a state in which the player can be led to a highly reliable RT game by each Lip Navi effect. However, the probability change mode is a state that can be given only while the number of times of probability change is set, and the transition to the high probability RT game is achieved by winning the ascending replay combination during this period.

  In addition, the navigation-free probability change mode cannot be continued unless the game state is a non-RT game and the player avoids the falling replay winning or the rising replay winning by the player himself. This is a state where an effect (bell navigation effect or chance effect) for the player to perform advantageously is performed. Further, the no-navigation probability changing mode is a state in which the player can make a transition to the continuation of the no-navigation probability changing mode or the high-accuracy RT game on his own by chance production.

  In addition, the post-BN mode is a disadvantageous state for a player who has a gaming state that is an RT game after BN and does not have a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game in which the ART transfer lottery is not performed. This is a state in which an effect (bell navigation effect) to be performed advantageously is not performed.

  Further, in the post-BN probability change mode, the game state is an RT game after BN, but this is an advantageous state for a player who can make a transition to the probability change mode, and an effect for the player to advantageously play a variable game ( This is a state in which a bell navigation effect is performed. However, the post-BN probability change mode is a state in which a penalty can be given by winning the SIN role while it can be given only until the SIN role is missed.

  The post-BN probability change mode (penalty) given as a penalty is such that the game state is extended by the post-BN game until the next winning of the SIN role, and as a result, the transition to the probability change mode, that is, the high probability RT game is made. This is a state that is disadvantageous for the extended player, and a state (bell navigation effect) for the player to advantageously play the variable game is not performed.

  Hereinafter, during the control of the BN gaming state, that is, during the control of the BN effect state, the effect that informs the value of the privilege granted based on the winning of the white seven role will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, the effect of informing the value of the privilege granted based on the winning of the white seven role is performed by each reel and the effect display device 14.

  First, with respect to the operation mode of each reel and the display mode of the effect display device 14 when the effect of informing the value of the privilege granted based on the winning of the white seven role is performed, together with the white seven navigation effect, FIG. ) To (g).

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), when a white seven navigation effect is performed on the effect display device 14 during a variable game, if the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated at a timing when [white seven] is stopped and displayed, There is a case where the fake stop eye stops as shown in FIG. 10B, and a white seven stop eye stops as shown in FIG. 10C. At the time of FIG. 10C, the effect display device 14 performs an effect of notifying the value of the benefit at the same time that the privilege is granted. Hereinafter, the time point illustrated in FIG. 10C will be described as a “first notification stage”. In addition, the symbol stop mode in the first notification stage may be referred to as a “first symbol stop mode”. The 1st symbol stop mode in this Drawing 10 (c) serves as a stop mode of the symbol corresponding to at least granting the privilege notified of grant in the 1st information stage.

  Further, when the symbol is stopped and displayed in the first symbol stop mode in the variation game in which the white seven navigation effect is performed, if the first start operation after the end of the variation game is performed, the variation due to the start operation is performed. The start of the game is stagnated, and during this stagnation, a stagnation effect (a so-called freeze effect) is performed on each reel. In this stagnation effect, each reel performs a “reel turning operation” in which each reel alternately repeats a downward change and an upward change. On the other hand, if the symbol is not stopped and displayed in the first symbol stop mode in the variation game in which the white seven navigation effect is performed, if the first start operation after the end of the variation game is performed, the stagnation effect is displayed. Not done. Note that “downward” indicates the changing direction of each reel associated with the changing game, and “upward” indicates the direction opposite to the changing direction of each reel accompanying the changing game.

  Then, after the reeling operation, when the symbol stop mode is not changed from the first symbol stop mode as shown in FIG. 10 (d) and when the first symbol stop mode is won as shown in FIG. 10 (e). On the line L1, the symbol combination corresponding to the white seven stop eye changes to the symbol stop mode in which the symbol is stopped. In addition, at the time of FIG.10 (e), in the effect display apparatus 14, the effect which alert | reports the value of the privilege provided in addition to the privilege alert | reported in FIG.10 (c) simultaneously with a privilege being provided. Is done. Hereinafter, the time point illustrated in FIG. 10E will be described as a “second notification stage”. In addition, the symbol stop mode in the second notification stage may be referred to as a “second symbol stop mode”. In addition, the 1st symbol stop mode in FIG.10 (d) becomes a stop mode of the symbol corresponding to granting the privilege notified about grant in the 1st alerting | reporting step. On the other hand, in the second symbol stop mode in FIG. 10 (e), at least the privilege for which the grant has been notified in the first notification step and the privilege for which the grant has been notified in the second notification step are provided. It becomes the stop mode of the symbol corresponding to.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10 (d), when the symbol stop mode has not changed from the first symbol stop mode, each reel then rotates in accordance with the variable game. On the other hand, after changing from the first symbol stop mode to the second symbol stop mode, the reel winding operation is performed again. After the second reel winding operation, when the symbol stop mode is changed from the second symbol stop mode as shown in FIG. 10 (f), the second symbol stop as shown in FIG. 10 (g). From the mode, the symbol combination corresponding to the white seven stop eye changes on the winning line L3 to the symbol stop mode in which the symbol display is stopped. In addition, at the time of FIG.10 (g), in the effect display apparatus 14, the privilege notified in FIG.10 (c) and the privilege alert | reported in FIG.10 (e) are simultaneously provided with a privilege. In addition, an effect of notifying the value of the privilege to be given is performed. Hereinafter, the time point illustrated in FIG. 10G will be described as a “third notification stage”. In addition, the symbol stop mode in the third notification stage may be referred to as “third symbol stop mode”. In addition, the 2nd symbol stop mode in FIG.10 (f) respond | corresponds to the privilege in which grant was alert | reported in the 1st alerting | reporting step, and the privilege in which grant was alert | reported in the 2nd alerting | reporting step. It becomes the stop mode of the symbol to do. On the other hand, the third symbol stop mode in FIG. 10 (g) is granted at the first notification stage, the privilege notified at the first notification stage, the privilege notified at the second notification stage, and the third notification stage. It becomes the stop mode of the symbol corresponding to the provision of the informed privilege.

  When the symbol stop mode does not change from the second symbol stop mode, and when the symbol stop mode changes from the second symbol stop mode to the third symbol stop mode, each reel is accompanied by a change game. Rotate. In FIGS. 10C, 10E, and 10G, “OO” indicates the number of times of addition to the number of times of probability change (the number of times of addition of the number of times of probability change).

  Thus, in this embodiment, when a privilege is granted, the start of the next variable game after the variable game for which the white seven navigation effect has been executed is stagnated. Is done. Further, when a stagnant effect is performed on each reel, a corresponding effect is also performed on the effect display device 14. It should be noted that while the start of the variable game is stagnant, the state in which the variable game can be started is not established, that is, the reels cannot be stopped by the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R.

  Further, when the white seven navigation effect is performed in the last variation game in the BN game, the variation game to be performed next to the variation game is performed in a game state that is not the BN game. As described above, a series of effects such as the white seven navigation effect and the stagnation effect are performed across the gaming state, which may confuse the player. For this reason, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the white seven navigation effect is performed in the last variation game in BN game, the end of the variation game is stagnated, and during the stagnation, the same as the stagnation effect described above The production is performed on each reel. It should be noted that while the end of the variation game is stagnant, each reel is stopped by the operation of each stop button 33L, 33C, 33R, but the next variation game cannot be started. Setting of the number of bets by the BET button 28 and the MAXBET button 29 and the start of the variable game by the start lever 32 cannot be performed.

  In addition, in the stagnation effect, every time the symbol stop mode changes to another stop mode, the probability variation number is added, so if the number of times the symbol stop mode changes to another stop mode increases. Indeed, the number of times the probability variation number is added increases, and as a result, the number of times the probability variation number is added tends to increase.

  By the way, even if a privilege is given, if the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R cannot be operated at a timing at which [White Seven] can be stopped, the fake stop eye is displayed instead of the white Seven stop eye. Will be.

  Further, in the stagnation effect in this embodiment, when the number of stages of the stagnation effect is “1” to “3” and the number of stages of the stagnation effect is “1”, the reel turning operation is performed after all the reels are stopped. The symbol stop mode does not vary from the first symbol stop mode (FIG. 10 (c) → FIG. 10 (d)). Further, when the number of stages of stagnant production is “2”, after all the reels are stopped, the reel turning operation is performed, and the symbol stop mode is changed from the first symbol stop mode to the second symbol stop mode. After the fluctuation, the reel winding operation is performed again, and the symbol stop mode does not change from the second symbol stop mode (FIG. 10 (c) → FIG. 10 (e) → FIG. 10 (f)). In addition, when the number of stages of the stagnation effect is “3”, it is the same until the second reel turning operation in the stagnation effect with the number of stages “2”, and the second reel turning operation is performed. After being performed, the symbol stop mode changes from the second symbol stop mode to the third symbol stop mode (FIG. 10 (c) → FIG. 10 (e) → FIG. 10 (g)).

Hereinafter, control related to execution of the stagnation effect will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs control related to execution of the stagnation effect by performing an effect flag setting process, a start stagnation effect process, and an end stagnation effect process for each variable game.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs an effect flag setting process after determining the winning combination and before determining whether or not the wait time has elapsed. Hereinafter, the effect flag setting process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a white seven combination is determined as a winning combination (white seven combination winning?) (Step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the effect flag setting process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines the number of stages of the stagnant effect (step S12). In step S12, as shown in FIG. 12A, the main control CPU 40a sets “1” with a probability of 37%, “2” with a probability of 50%, and “3” with a probability of 13%. Determine as a number. Further, the main control CPU 40a that has determined the number of stages of the stagnant effect in step S12 stores the determined number of stages in the main control RAM 40c, and sends a step number command that can specify the number of stages to the sub-control CPU 41a. Output. The CPU 40a for main control determines the number of times (the number of stages of stagnation effect-1) to change the stop mode of the symbol to another stop mode in the stagnation effect by determining the number of stages of the stagnation effect. become. That is, the number of stages of the stagnant effect also indicates the number of times that the provision of the privilege is notified.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a that has determined the number of stages of stagnation effect determines whether or not the variation game (game) won in the white seven winning combination is the final variation game in the BN game (step S13). In step S <b> 13, the main control CPU 40 a determines whether or not the BN payout number exceeds the maximum payout number (360 in the present embodiment) by paying out the award medals (9) by winning the white seven role or the fake role. To do. That is, in step S13, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the BN payout number is equal to or greater than 352 (= 361-9).

  When the determination result in step S13 is affirmative, that is, when the white seven combination is determined as the winning combination of the last variation game in BN game, the main control CPU 40a delays the end of the variation game. An end stagnation command for instructing execution of the stagnation effect is output to the sub-control CPU 41a (step S14).

  Further, the main control CPU 40a that has output the end stagnation command sets a value ("1" in the present embodiment) indicating that the end of the variable game is to be stopped and the stagnation effect is executed in the end effect flag (step 1). S15), the production flag setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S13 is negative, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the start of the variable game by the first start operation after the end of the variable game won for the white seven role and executes the stagnation effect. The instructed start / stagnation command is output to the sub-control CPU 41a (step S16).

  Further, the main control CPU 40a that has output the start stagnation command sets a value ("1" in the present embodiment) indicating that the start of the variable game is stagnation and the stagnation effect is executed in the start effect flag (step 1). S17), the production flag setting process is terminated.

Next, the start stagnation effect process performed by the main control CPU 40a in order to stagnate the start of the variable game and execute the stagnation effect will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the start lever 32 has been operated, that is, whether or not the start operation of the variable game has been performed (step S21). If the determination result of step S21 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the start stagnation effect process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S21 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a causes the stagnation effect to be executed by stagnation of whether or not the start effect flag is set to “1”, that is, the start of the variable game. Is determined (step S22). In step S22, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the variable game by the start lever 32 in step S21 is the next variable game after the variable game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed.

  If the determination result in step S22 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the start stagnation effect process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S22 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a refers to the number of stages of stagnant effects stored in the main control RAM 40c (the number of stages determined in step S12), and according to the number of stages. The start stagnation time is set (step S23). In step S23, the main control CPU 40a sets, as the start stagnation time, the time required to execute the stagnation effect with the number of stages “1” when the number of stagnation effect stages is “1”. In the case where the number is “2”, the time required for executing the stagnation effect of the stage number “2” is set as the start stagnation time. Similarly, the main control CPU 40a sets, as the start stagnation time, the time required to execute the stagnation effect with the number of stages “3” when the number of stages of the stagnation effect is “3”.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a that sets the start stagnation time controls each reel in accordance with the number of stages of the stagnation effect (step S24). When the number of stages of stagnant effects is “1” in step S24, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform a reel turning operation.

  Further, when the number of stages of stagnant production is “2” in step S24, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation, and then fluctuates the left reel 13L upward by one symbol. At the same time, the right reel 13R is controlled to change downward by one symbol. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation again.

  Further, when the number of stages of the stagnant effect is “3” in step S24, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation, and then the left reel 13L is changed upward by one symbol. At the same time, the right reel 13R is controlled to change downward by one symbol. After that, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation again, and thereafter, the left reel 13L is further moved upward by one symbol, and the right reel 13R is further moved downward by one symbol. Control to change only. In this way, according to the white seven navigation effect, when the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated at a timing at which [white seven] can be stopped in each row, and the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed, it is executed. Regardless of the number of stagnation effects, [White Seven] stopped in the fluoroscopic window 16 is changed in the fluoroscopic window 16. Further, when the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed in this manner, the stagnant effect is performed in a form formed on a pay line different from the pay line that is stopped and displayed at that time.

  Then, after the start stagnation time elapses, the main control CPU 40a that has finished the process of step S24 sets a value indicating that the start of the variable game is delayed and the stagnation effect is not executed in the start effect flag (in this embodiment, “ 0 ") is set (step S25), and the start / stagnation effect process is terminated.

  After the start stagnation effect process is finished, the main control CPU 40a starts the control related to the rotation operation of each reel associated with the variable game if the wait time has elapsed, and if the wait time has not elapsed. After the wait time elapses, control related to the rotation operation of each reel associated with the variable game is started.

Next, the end stagnation effect process performed by the main control CPU 40a to stagnate the end of the variable game and execute the stagnation effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the end stagnation effect process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the control related to award medal payout has been completed (step S31). If the determination result of step S31 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the end stagnation effect process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S31 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not “1” is set in the end effect flag (step S32). In step S32, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the executed variable game has won the white seven role by determining whether or not the end effect flag is set to “1”.

  If the determination result of step S32 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the end stagnation effect process. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S32 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a refers to the number of stages of stagnation effect stored in the main control RAM 40c (the number of stages determined in step S12), and according to the number of stages. The end stagnation time is set (step S33). In step S33, as in step S23, the main control CPU 40a sets, as the end stagnation time, the time required to execute the stagnation effect of the number of stages “1” when the number of stages of the stagnation effect is “1”. When the number of stages of stagnation effect is “2”, the time required to execute the stagnation effect with the number of stages “2” is set as the end stagnation time. Similarly, when the number of stages of stagnation effect is “3”, the main control CPU 40a sets the time required for executing the stagnation effect of the number of stages “3” as the end stagnation time.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a which has set the end stagnation time controls each reel in accordance with the number of stages of the stagnation effect (step S34). When the number of stages of stagnant effect is “1” in step S34, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform a reel turning operation.

  When the number of stages of stagnant production is “2” in step S34, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation, and then moves the left reel 13L upward as in step S24. Control is performed so that the right reel 13R is changed downward by one symbol while being changed by one symbol. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation again.

  When the number of stages of stagnant production is “3” in step S34, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation in the same manner as in step S24, and then moves the left reel 13L upward. And the right reel 13R is controlled to change by one symbol in the downward direction. After that, the main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to perform the reel winding operation again, and thereafter, the left reel 13L is further moved upward by one symbol, and the right reel 13R is further moved downward by one symbol. Control to change only.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a that has finished the process of step S34 controls each reel so as to return the stop of each reel to the stop before execution of the stagnation effect (step S35). Incidentally, in the pachislot 10 of this embodiment, when the stagnant effect of the number of stages “2” is executed in step S34, the left reel 13L changes upward by one symbol from before the execution of the stagnant effect, and the right reel 13R. Has changed by one symbol in the downward direction from before execution of the stagnation effect. Similarly, when the stage number “3” stagnation effect is executed in step S34, the left reel 13L fluctuates upward by two symbols from before the stagnation effect execution, and the right reel 13R from before the stagnation effect execution. It fluctuates by 2 symbols in the downward direction. In the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a moves the left reel 13L downward by one symbol and executes the right reel 13R after executing the stagnant effect of the stage number “2” in step S35. Change the figure upward by one symbol and return to the stop point before executing the stagnant effect. Similarly, in step S35, the main control CPU 40a moves the left reel 13L downward by two symbols and executes the right reel 13R upward by two symbols after executing the stagnation effect of the number of stages “3”. Change to return to the stoppage before the stagnant performance.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a that has finished the process of step S35, after the end stagnation time has elapsed, sets a value indicating that the end effect flag is stopped and the stagnation effect is not executed in the end effect flag (in this embodiment, "0") is set (step S36), and the end stagnation effect process ends. Note that after the end stagnation effect process is finished, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that the current variation game is terminated and the next symbol variation game can be started.

Next, the control related to the execution of the stagnation effect performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the step number command, the left reel 13L, the middle reel 13C, and the right reel 13R are stopped in the variable game that executes the white seven navigation effect (the variable game selected as the white seven role). That is, the content of the privilege for which the grant is notified in the first notification stage (the number of times the probability change is added) is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, the sub-control CPU 41a has a probability of “10 times” with a probability of 40%, “20 times” with a probability of 35%, “30 times” with a probability of 20%, and a probability of 5%. Then, “50 times” is determined as “the number of times of positive change (privilege)” for which the grant is notified in the first notification stage. In the present embodiment, the privilege for notifying the grant in the first notification stage corresponds to the “specific privilege”. Then, when the “special privilege” is determined, the white seven role is determined as the winning combination, and it is permitted to stop and display the white seven stop eye so as to win the winning line L4. “When the specific privilege is determined, it is allowed to stop and display the white seven stop eye”.

  Further, when the step number “2” or the step number “3” can be specified from the input step number command, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the given step number and the grant at the first notification step “probability change”. The privilege to notify the grant is determined every time the stop mode of the symbol fluctuates in the stagnant effect according to the “number of times added”. Incidentally, when the number of steps “2” is specified from the step number command, the sub-control CPU 41a, from the first symbol stop mode to the second symbol, together with the “number of times of positive change” that notifies the grant in the first notification step. When the symbol stop mode fluctuates to the stop mode (second notification stage), an “addition number of times of probability variation” that notifies the grant is determined. In addition, when the number of stages “3” is specified from the stage number command, the sub-control CPU 41a stops the second symbol together with the “number of times of positive change” that notifies the grant in the first notification stage and the second notification stage. When the symbol stop mode fluctuates from the mode to the 3rd symbol stop mode (third notification stage), the “number of times of probability change” to be notified is determined. In the present embodiment, the privilege for notifying the grant at the second notification stage and the privilege for notifying the grant at the third notification stage correspond to the “special privilege”.

Hereinafter, the determination of “the number of times of increase in probability change (privilege)” to be notified in the second notification stage and “the number of times of increase in probability change (privilege)” to be notified in the third notification stage will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a specifies the stage number “2” from the stage number command, the privilege pattern TP1 in which the “number of times of positive change” for notifying the grant in the first notification stage and the second notification stage is determined in advance. From TP6, it is determined according to the “additional number of times of probability variation” that reports the grant in the first notification stage. In addition, when the number of steps “3” is specified from the step number command, the sub-control CPU 41a predetermines “an additional number of times of probability variation” for notifying the grant in each of the first notification step to the third notification step. The benefit pattern TP7 to TP12 is determined in accordance with the “number of times of probability variation” that is notified of the grant in the first notification stage.

The privilege pattern TP12 is obtained by multiplying the “number of times of probability change (50 times)” for which the grant is notified in the first notification stage and the number of stages of stagnant effect (“3”) (150 times (= 50 times × 3)) is a privilege pattern defined as the total number of “addition times of probability variation number” for notifying the grant in the first notification stage to the third notification stage.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a privilege pattern based on the specified number of stages of stagnation effect and the “number of times of increase in the number of certain variations” that notifies the grant in the first notification stage. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 12C and 12D, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of stages of stagnant production specified and “the number of times of positive change” that notifies the grant in the first notification stage. When there are a plurality of types of privilege patterns that can be determined based on the above, it is easy to determine a privilege pattern with a small total number of “addition times of probability variation” that notifies the grant at each notification stage. Incidentally, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, “3” is the least determined as the number of stages of stagnant production, and “50 times” is the most determined as the “number of times of positive change” that notifies the grant in the first notification stage. Since it is difficult to do so, it is difficult to give a privilege based on the privilege pattern TP12. On the other hand, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, “2” is most easily determined as the number of stages of stagnant production, and “10 times” is the most determined as the “number of times of positive variation” for notifying the grant in the first notification stage. Since it is easy to be performed, the provision of the privilege based on the privilege pattern TP1 is easily performed.

  Then, if the privilege pattern is not determined, the sub control CPU 41a adds the “number of times of probability variation added” that notifies the grant in the first notification stage to the number of times of probability variation, and the sub control CPU 41a Update the number of probable changes and grant benefits. In addition, when the privilege pattern is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the total number of “additional number of times of probability variation” for notifying the grant at each notification stage to the number of times of probability variation. The number of probability changes in the RAM 41c is updated and a privilege is given.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a that has determined the “number of times of probability variation added” that notifies the grant at each notification stage is executed when the start of the game is stagnant when the start stagnation command is input. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to notify the “number of times of increase in the number of certain changes” determined for each notification stage in the stagnation effect. On the other hand, when the end stagnation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a “an additional number of times of probability change” determined for each notification stage in the stagnation effect executed when the end of the game is stagnation. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to be notified at each notification stage. Note that, as described above, the “notification stage” indicates a point in time when the symbol stop mode fluctuates. For this reason, in the pachi-slot 10 of this embodiment, the notification of the value of the privilege to be given is performed in synchronization with the operation of each reel.

  In this way, the CPU 40a for main control that determines whether or not a privilege is granted by determining either the white seven role or the fake role, and the sub control for determining the privilege when the white seven role is determined as the winning role CPU41a functions as a privilege determination means in this embodiment. Further, when the white seven role is determined as the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a that causes each reel to perform an effect and the sub-control CPU 41a that informs the privilege function as a stagnation effect control means in this embodiment. .

Here, the effect mode when the stagnation effect is executed will be described based on FIG.
FIG. 15 shows a case where the white seven combination is determined as the winning combination of the variable game other than the final game in the BN game, and the stagnation effect with the number of stages “2” is executed. In addition, “10 times” is determined as the “number of times of probability change” to notify the grant at the first notification stage, and “the number of times of probability change” to be notified at the number of stages of the stagnant effect and the first notification stage. It is assumed that the privilege pattern TP2 is determined based on the “number of times”. Further, in FIG. 15, according to the white seven navigation effect, the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated at a timing at which [white seven] can be stopped and displayed, and the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L4. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, when the variable game won for the white seven role is started, each reel performs a rotation operation associated with the variable game, and the effect display device 14 performs the white seven navigation effect. Then, when the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated at a timing at which [White Seven] can be stopped and displayed in accordance with the White Seven Navi effect, as shown in FIG. 15B, the White Seven stops on the winning line L4. Eyes are stopped. Then, when the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L4, the effect display device 14 notifies that “10 times” has been added to the probability variation number. At this time, when the player operates the start lever 32, the player expects that the start of the variable game is stagnated and the symbol stop mode fluctuates at the time of the stagnation. At the same time, the player can recognize that the number of times of “10 times” or more is added to the number of times of probable change when the symbol stop mode changes.

  Thereafter, when the start lever 32 is operated (start operation is performed) in order to start the next variation game of the variation game won as the white seven role, the start of the variation game due to the operation is delayed, and FIG. As shown in c), the reel winding operation is performed. After the reel turning operation is performed for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 15 (d), the left reel 13L is moved upward and the right reel 13R is moved downward by one symbol respectively, and the winning line A combination of symbols corresponding to the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on L1. Then, when the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, the effect display device 14 notifies that “20 times” has been added to the probability variation number. At this time, the player recognizes that “30 times” is added to the probability variation number in total, and expects that the pattern stop mode further varies.

  Then, after a predetermined time from the change of the symbol stop mode, the reel winding operation is performed again as shown in FIG. 15E, but the symbol stop mode does not change. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed (after the start stagnation time and the wait time have elapsed), as shown in FIG. 15 (f), each reel rotates in accordance with the variable game. At this time, the player recognizes that the stagnation effect has ended, and recognizes that the number of times to be added to the probability variation number is “30”.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) After the floating game (game) in which the white seven navigation effect (stop effect) is executed, the start of the game (the game next to the game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed) is delayed. During the stagnation, the symbol stopped to the stop mode corresponding to the privilege to be granted is changed. For this reason, after the white seven navigation effect is executed, attention can be paid to whether or not the symbol stop mode changes, and the interest in the game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed can be improved. Furthermore, the interest in the game next to the game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed can be improved.

  (2) It is possible to recognize that a privilege (specific privilege) is granted by stopping the white seven stop eye, and thereafter, the stopped mode of the symbol that has been stopped has changed to another stop mode. In some cases, a special privilege can be recognized. For this reason, when the white seven navigation effect (stop effect) is executed, it can be noted whether or not a specific symbol (white seven, white seven stop eye) is stopped and displayed. It can also be noted whether or not the symbol stop mode varies by doing so. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest for the game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed and the interest for the game next to the game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed.

  (3) When the BN game (bonus game) is different from the game state (and the production state) after the end of the BN game, the production performed in the BN game is continued even after the BN game is over. May confuse the player. Therefore, when the white seven navigation effect (stop effect) is performed in the final game of BN game, a privilege (the number of times of the probability change) given before the game is started after the BN game ends is notified. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused.

  In addition, when a white seven navigation effect is performed in a game other than the last game of the BN game, a stagnation effect is usually performed in the next game of the game. The player can be surprised when performing the white seven navigation effect and informing the privilege to be granted.

  (4) When the white seven navigation effect (stop effect) is performed in the last variation game (game) of the bonus BN game (bonus game), the end of the game is delayed and the game is stopped during the stagnation. It was made to change from the stop mode of the symbol which is being changed to the stop mode according to the privilege. For this reason, even when white Seven Navi production is performed in the last game of BN game, the stop mode of the symbol is changed to the stop mode according to the privilege without straddling the BN game and after the end of the BN game. Can be made.

  (5) Since the value of the privilege to which the grant is notified is not lowered every time the symbol stop mode is changed (the number of times added to the probability variation number is not reduced), if the symbol stop mode is changed, a better privilege is obtained. It can be expected to be given (a larger number of times is added to the probability variation number), and attention can be paid to the pattern stop mode.

  (6) “Additional number of times of probability change” for reporting the grant at the first notification stage and “Additional number of times of probability change” for reporting the grant at each notification stage based on the number of stages of stagnant production Value) was determined. Further, in the privilege pattern, from the first notification stage to the third notification stage, the “probability change” is notified at each notification step so that the “number of times of increase in the number of certainty changes” (value of the privilege) that notifies the grant does not decrease. “Additional number of times” is defined. For this reason, by determining the privilege pattern, the total number of “addition times of probability variation” that is notified in the first notification stage to the third notification stage is notified in the first notification stage. It can be determined by the number of times equal to or greater than the number obtained by multiplying the “addition number of times of probability change” and the number of times the provision of the privilege is notified.

  (7) The privilege pattern in which the “number of times of probability change” for which the grant is notified in the second notification stage and the third notification stage is notified in the number of stages of the stagnant effect and the grant in the first notification stage. It is determined based on “the number of times of positive change” (specific privilege). For this reason, if the determination probability of the number of times determined as the “addition number of times of probability change” for notifying the grant at the first notification stage is changed, the “addition number of times of the probability change number” for notifying the grant at the first notification stage. It is possible to easily change the degree of expectation related to. Similarly, if the selection probability of the number of stages of stagnation effect (that is, the number of times the symbol stop mode is changed to another stop mode in the stagnation effect) is changed, the symbol stop mode is different in the stagnation effect. The degree of expectation and the like related to the number of times of change to the stop mode can be easily changed. As a result, the design can be easily changed.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, among the stagnation effects of the number of stages “1” to “3”, as the start stagnation time (or the end stagnation time) when executing the stagnation effect of the number of stages “1” with the shortest production time The set time may be set to a time longer than the wait time. In such a configuration, the wait time always passes after the stagnation effect is executed. For this reason, it can be configured not to determine whether or not the wait time has elapsed after executing the stagnation effect. That is, the processing performed by the main control CPU 40a can be reduced (reduced).

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the same privilege as the "addition frequency of the number of times of probability change" which alert | reports grant in a 1st alerting | reporting stage may alert | report grant in a 2nd alerting | reporting stage and a 3rd alerting | reporting stage. . In the case of such a configuration, it is not necessary to determine a privilege pattern, so that the processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, after each of the three reels is stopped, the end stagnation effect process shown in FIG. 14 may be executed before the winning determination is performed. In the case of such a configuration, it may be configured to determine whether or not each of the three reels has stopped in the process of step S31.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, you may comprise so that the completion | finish stagnation effect process shown in FIG. 14 may be performed after performing winning determination, but before performing control which concerns payout. In the case of such a configuration, it may be configured to determine whether or not the control related to the winning determination is completed in the process of step S31.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, even if it is a case where a fake combination is determined as a winning combination, you may comprise so that a white 7 stop eye may be stopped and displayed. That is, even when no privilege is given, when the stop button 33L, 33C, 33R is operated at a timing at which [White Seven] can be stopped and displayed in accordance with the White Seven Navi effect, white is displayed on the winning line L4. You may comprise so that a 7 stop eye may be stopped and displayed.

  -In the said embodiment, even if it constitutes so that the value of the privilege (the number of times of the probability variation number) notified every time the stop mode of the symbol in the stagnation effect changes to a different stop mode may be lowered or increased. good.

  In the above embodiment, in the last variation game in the BN game, it may be configured not to win the white seven role or the fake role, or to perform processing such as rewriting to the bell role even if won. . In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a series of effects such as a white seven navigation effect and a stagnation effect from being performed across the gaming state.

  In the above embodiment, when the white seven role is won in the last variation game (game) in BN game, the effect on each reel (effect that changes the stop mode of the symbol) is not performed. You may change to the structure which alert | reports "the number of times of an extra number of times of change (privilege)" in the production | presentation display apparatus 14. FIG. As described above, the timing of notifying the provision of the privilege on the effect display device 14 may be set until the start operation of the first variable game after the end of the BN game is performed.

  In the above embodiment, the variable game in which the white seven role is determined as the winning combination and the variable game that executes the white seven navigation effect may be different. For example, the configuration may be such that several variation games are performed between the variation game in which the white seven combination is determined as the winning combination and the variation game in which the white seven navigation effect is executed. In order to realize the above configuration, for example, when a white seven combination is determined as a winning combination, information indicating that fact (hereinafter referred to as “winning information”) may be stored and held. . When the winning information is stored and a predetermined winning combination (for example, a bell combination) is determined, the white seven stop eye is allowed to be stopped and displayed, and the white seven navigation effect is displayed. It may be configured to execute. When configured in this way, in the variable game in which the white seven role is determined as the winning combination, stop eyes other than the white seven stop eyes and the fake stop eyes (for example, bell stop eyes) are configured to be stopped and displayed. It is desirable. Furthermore, it is desirable to delete the winning information after executing the white seven navigation effect. When configured in this way, when the white seven navigation effect is performed in the second half of the BN game, the number of variable games that have been executed so far is large, so the expectation that the stagnation effect will be executed is expected. Can be raised.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the stop aspect of the symbol after a fluctuation | variation may be changed according to the privilege provided (the number of times of the probability variation | change count). For example, when “10 times” is added to the number of probability changes, the pattern changes to a pattern stop mode in which the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, while “50 times” is added to the number of probability changes. In such a case, it may be configured to change to a symbol stop mode in which the white seven stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L2. In the case of such a configuration, even if the stop mode of the symbol varies, it is possible to focus on what symbol stop mode the symbol changes, and the interest in the game can be improved. .

  In the above embodiment, in the process of step S35 in the end stagnation effect process shown in FIG. 14, each reel is controlled so as to return to the stop point before the stagnation effect is performed after rotating each reel several times. May be.

  -In the said embodiment, the process of step S35 in the end stagnation effect process shown in FIG. 14 does not need to be performed. In other words, even when the end of the game is delayed and the stagnation effect is performed, it is not necessary to return to the stop before the execution of the stagnation effect.

  -The execution mode of the stagnant effect in the above embodiment may be changed. For example, each reel may be rotated one or more times, or each reel may be rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation operation associated with the variable game. The variation mode of each reel may be changed.

In the above embodiment, the upper limit of the number of stages of stagnant effects may be “2” or “4” or more.
-In the above embodiment, even if the white seven role is determined, the display of the white seven stop eye is restricted and the fake stop eye may be stopped and displayed. good. Then, at the start of the stagnation effect, each reel may be operated so that the white seven stop eye is temporarily stopped and displayed. In the case of such a configuration, even when the fake stop eye is stopped and displayed in the changing game in which the white seven navigation effect is performed, it is expected that a privilege will be given after the end of the changing game. Thus, the start lever 32 can be operated.

  In the above embodiment, the first symbol stop mode may be a combination of symbols (symbol stop mode) other than the symbol combination in which the symbols in all the rows on the winning line are [white seven]. For example, [White Seven / ANY / ANY] may be the first symbol stop mode. When configured in this way, the white seven navigation effect prompts the user to operate the stop button 33L so that [white seven] is stopped and displayed on the left reel 13L.

In the above-described embodiment, the main control CPU 40a may be configured to determine all the “number of times of positive change” (privilege) for notifying the grant at each notification stage.
In the embodiment described above, an end stop command corresponding to the number of stages of the stagnation effect determined in step S12 (different for each number of stages of the stagnation effect) is not output in the stage flag setting process shown in FIG. You may comprise so that it may output. Similarly, a start stagnation command corresponding to the number of stages of the stagnation effect determined in step S12 may be output without outputting the stage number command. In such a configuration, the number of commands output from the main control CPU 40a can be reduced and the number of commands input from the sub control CPU 41a can be reduced as compared with the above embodiment.

-In above-mentioned embodiment, you may comprise so that "the frequency | count of addition of the probability change number" (privilege) which alert | reports provision for every alerting | reporting step may be determined for every alerting | reporting step, respectively.
-In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a fake combination. In the case of such a configuration, since it becomes possible to recognize that a privilege is granted when the white seven navigation effect is executed, the degree of attention as to whether or not the white seven navigation effect is executed is set. Can be further increased.

  In the above embodiment, when the white seven navigation effect is performed in the last variation game in BN game, the first variation game after the end of BN game is started even if the variation game is not in progress. You may comprise so that a stagnation effect may be performed so that a stagnation effect may be complete | finished.

  -In the above embodiment, when the operation means that can be operated by the player (for example, the start lever 32, the MAXBET button 29, etc.) is operated during execution of the stagnation effect, the symbol stop mode is changed to another stop mode. You may comprise so that it may fluctuate to. In addition, during execution of the stagnation effect, if the symbol stop mode is not changed to another stop mode, an operation means that can be operated by the player (for example, the start lever 32 or the MAXBET button 29) is operated. As a trigger, the stagnation effect may be terminated.

In the above embodiment, the present invention may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.
-In above-mentioned embodiment, you may comprise so that the alerting | reporting frequency | count may not be alert | reported with the production | presentation display apparatus 14. FIG.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to set the winning probability of the combined replay role in the non-RT game and the highly probable RT game to the same probability, and the winning probability of the combined replay role in the non-RT game is low probability RT game. Or higher than the RT game after BN. For this reason, the winning probability of the combined replay roles in the non-RT game can be set to a low probability compared to the high-definition RT game, or can be set to a high probability compared to the high-probability RT game.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning replay combination may be changed to a configuration that allows winning regardless of the player's pushing order (stop operation timing). In this case, the condition for the transition from the non-RT game to the high-definition RT game is the winning of the ascending replay role. The same configuration can be adopted for the fall replay combination. According to such a configuration, in the non-RT game, if the winning replay role can be won before the falling replay role, the game is shifted to a high-definition RT game, while the falling replay role is prior to the rising replay role. By winning, it is possible to realize a gameability such as shifting to a low probability RT game. It should be noted that any one of the rising replay combination and the falling replay combination may be changed to a configuration capable of winning a prize regardless of the pressing order when winning.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to set the fall replay combination. Further, in this case, the winning of the maintenance replay role by the incorrect push order based on the winning of the rising replay role is made to have the same role as the winning of the falling replay role. In such a configuration, in a scene where a fall replay combination can be determined as a winning combination, a configuration such as replacement with a winning of a maintenance replay combination may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the configuration of the gaming state may be arbitrarily changed, the types of general games having different RT performances can be reduced, and the post-BN RT game can be not set. For example, after the end of the BN game, it may be configured to shift to the low probability RT game and to shift to the high probability RT game when a predetermined condition such as winning of the rising replay role is established.

  In the embodiment described above, a combination of symbols that determine the awarding of award medals may be set as an opportunity for transition from a non-RT game to a high-definition RT game, or a winning combination may be set off.

  In the above-described embodiment, a combination of symbols that determine the payout of award medals may be set as an opportunity for transition from post-BN RT game to non-RT game, or a replay combination may be set.

  In the above embodiment, the upper limit number of low-probability RT games and high-probability RT games may be arbitrarily changed. Further, regarding the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game, for example, detailed specifications may be arbitrarily changed so as to be realized with a specification without an upper limit.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a white seven combination and a fake combination can be determined as a winning combination also in those other than a BN gaming state. Furthermore, when a white seven role or a fake role is determined as a winning combination, it is configured to execute a white seven navigation effect or a stagnation effect even if it is not in the BN gaming state, so that the number of probability changes is added. Anyway.

  -In the above embodiment, when the fall replay role is won, the stop replay stop eye is displayed with the correct push order and the maintenance replay stop eye is stopped with the incorrect push order answer. Sometimes, the maintenance replay stop eye is stopped and displayed with the correct push order, and the fall replay stop eye is stopped and displayed with the incorrect push order. In such a configuration, in the above embodiment, when the fall replay role is won, the maintenance replay stop (1/3 push correct answer) rather than the fall replay stop (2/3 push wrong answer) The rate at which is stopped is increased.

  -The above-mentioned embodiment can also be applied to the pachislot machine which does not provide production display device 14. In this case, the effect state is notified to the player by the light emission effect of the lamp R, or a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided to light the effect state to the player, or the sound of the speaker SP An effect state may be notified to a player by effect. Further, the lamp R, the speaker SP, and the like may be configured to perform various effects such as a Lip Navi effect, a Bell Navi effect, and a White Seven Navi effect.

  -In the said embodiment, the completion | finish of BN game can also be prescribed | regulated only by the frequency | count of winning, or can also be prescribed | regulated only by the frequency | count of execution. In addition, the types of BN roles can be increased, or the BN role may be a challenge time (so-called “CT”). For example, in a BN game, a plurality of BN roles that allow winning of a plurality of BN games having different numbers of acquisitions such as a “big bonus” with a large number of acquisitions and a “regular bonus” with a small number of acquisitions may be set. it can.

  In the above-described embodiment, “timing for operating the stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R” may be used as an element that may change the stop eye in the fall replay role, the rising replay role, or the bell role. In this case, a specification that targets a specific portion (design) in each reel (one or all) can be considered. And in various navigation effects, you may comprise so that the timing (a specific part (symbol)) which operates a stop button may be alert | reported.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of ARTs controlled in the ART mode may be added instead of the number of probability changes in the extra lottery process. In this case, there is no upper limit on the number of variable games that can be given until the next bonus combination is won if there is no predetermined transition opportunity. Should be realized. Further, during the control of the ART mode, an effect of navigating (navigating) the avoidance of the predetermined transition opportunity may be performed while the number of times of ART is set. Such another example makes it possible to apply to a pachi-slot with specifications that do not set the probability variation mode.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) The privilege determining means is configured to determine the number of times the symbol stop mode is changed by the stagnation effect control means when the specific privilege is determined, and the value of the specific privilege and the symbol stop aspects based on the number of times to be varied, that determine the value of each Exclusive as not to be lower than the value of the special benefits worth the specific benefits for informing every time the symbol of stop mode is varied.
