Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislot machine 10 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.
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. On the back side of the machine, an external terminal plate 42 is attached as a connecting means for wiring connection to an external device installed outside the pachislot machine 10.

Hereinafter, the main control board 40 will be described.
The main control board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 40b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 40a, and a main control RAM 40c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. Each reel (left reel 13L, middle reel 13C, and right reel 13R), reel sensors SE1 to SE3, and medal sensor SE4 constituting the drum unit 13 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Various information display units 17 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Further, the BET button 19, the MAXBET button 20, the settlement switch 21, the start lever 22, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the hopper 26 are connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbols (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. . 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 CPU 40a every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the output terminal of the external terminal plate 42 is wired to the main control CPU 40a, and the output terminal of the external terminal plate 42 can be wired to the input terminal of the external device. That is, the external terminal plate 42 is electrically connected to the main control CPU 40a and the hall computer HC as a result of the output terminal being wired to the input terminal of the hall computer HC. The external terminal board 42 is electrically connected to the main control CPU 40a and the data counter DC as a result of the wiring of the output terminal to the input terminal of the data counter DC.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination based on the winning information group) according to the winning combination determination table. The winning information group determined by the main control CPU 40a is associated with one or more winning combinations that can be won in the variable game. In the winning information group, when a single winning combination is associated, it means a single winning of the corresponding winning combination, and when a plurality of winning combinations are associated, it means a duplicate winning of these winning combinations. . For this reason, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination for winning by determining a winning information group.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program. 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 information group are defined as ranges for assigning winning combination determining 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 each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B will be described.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of the winning information group to be the lottery object and the winning probability of each winning information group to be the lottery object (random values distributed to each winning information group to be the lottery object (in the range of random values) A table in which the number based on the game state is tabulated is stored. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. In general games, a winning combination determination table T1 is associated with a low-probability RT game, a winning combination determination table T2 is associated with a high-probability RT1 game, and a winning combination determination table T3 is associated with a high-probability RT2 game.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination tables T1 to T3, the winning probabilities of the cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay roles based on the winning information group are defined. And in general games, the winning probability of the replay role is high probability RT1 game (1 / 3.3) and high probability RT2 game (1 / 1.9) compared to low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). Random numbers that are determined to win the winning combination are distributed. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT2 game (1 / 1.9) than in the high probability RT1 game (1 / 3.3). On the other hand, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the respective small combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the high probability RT1 game or the high probability RT2 game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high probability lottery state, the amount of medals held by the player as much as replay is easily given ( It is possible to give the player a benefit that the input) can be reduced. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the high-precision RT2 game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the highest probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player as much as replay is easily given. ) Can be given to the player. Such a high probability RT1 game or a high probability RT2 game is an advantageous state for the player, and among them, the high probability RT2 game is the most advantageous state for the player.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the winning probability of the replay role is the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the promoted replay role in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). And the winning probability of each of the winning information groups in which the overlapping winnings of the normal replay role are associated with each other. It should be noted that these replay winning combinations are related to the promotion replay role 1 and the normal replay role 12 associated with the promotion replay group 1, the promotion replay role 2 and the normal replay role 13 associated with the promotion replay group 2, and the promotion replay. The winning combination of the promoted replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 14 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate.

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role is the overlap of the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the high probability RT1 game (winning role determination table T2), the rush replay role, the fall replay role, and the normal replay role. Each winning probability of the winning information group associated with the winning and the winning information group corresponding to the overlapping winning combination of the fall replay role and the normal replay role is defined. Note that these replay winning combinations are related to the rush replay role 1 and the fall replay role 6 associated with the rush replay group 1 and the normal replay role 15 and the rush replay role 2 and the fall replay associated with the rush replay group 2. Duplicate winning combination is made for each combination of the role 7 and the normal replay role 16. In addition, the relationship between these replay winning combinations is that the rush replay role 3 and the fall replay role 8 associated with the rush replay group 3, the normal replay role 17, and the rush replay role 4 and the fall replay associated with the rush replay group 4. Duplicate winning combination is made for each combination of the combination 9 and the normal replay combination 18. In addition, these replay winning combinations are related to the fall replay role 1 and the normal replay role 7 associated with the fall replay group 1, the fall replay role 2 and the normal replay role 8 associated with the fall replay group 2, and the fall replay. The winning combination of the fall replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 9 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate. In addition, as for the relationship of overlapping winning of these replay roles, the winning combination of the falling replay role 4 and the normal replay role 10 associated with the falling replay group 4 and the combination of the falling replay role 5 and the normal replay role 11 are won.

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role is the winning information group (the normal replay group for counting, that is, the normal replay groups 1 to 6) associated with the normal replay role for counting in the highly accurate RT2 game (winning role determination table T3). Each winning probability of the winning information group in which overlapping winnings of the fall replay role and the normal replay role are associated with each other is defined. In addition, the relationship of overlap winning of these replay roles is that the fall replay role 1 and the normal replay role 7 associated with the fall replay group 1, the fall replay role 2 and the normal replay role 8 associated with the fall replay group 2, and the fall replay. The winning combination of the fall replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 9 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate. In addition, the relationship of the winning combination of the replay roles is that each of the fall replay role 4 and the normal replay role 10 associated with the fall replay group 4 and the fall replay role 5 and the normal replay role 11 associated with the fall replay group 5. Duplicate winning combination.

  In the following description, the phrase “winning of the promoted replay role” means winning of the promoted replay groups 1 to 3. In addition, the “winning of the rush replay role” means winning of the rush replay groups 1 to 4. In addition, the phrase “winning the fall replay role” means winning the fall replay groups 1 to 5. In addition, “the winning of the normal replay role for counting” means the winning of the normal replay group for counting, that is, the normal replay groups 1 to 6. This normal replay group 1 is a single winner of a normal replay role 1, a normal replay group 2 is a single winner of a normal replay role 2, a normal replay group 3 is a single winner of a normal replay role 3, and a normal replay group 4 is normal. The single winning of the replay role 4, the normal replay group 5 is associated with the single winning of the normal replay role 5, and the normal replay group 6 is associated with the single winning of the normal replay role 6. Note that the “winning of the normal replay role (unquestioned)” means winning of the winning information group associated with the winning of the normal replay role (unquestioned). The term “cherry winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with the winning cherry. The term “watermelon winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with winning a watermelon winning. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the left correct bell role”, it means winning of the winning information group associated with the winning of the left correct bell role. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the medium correct bell role”, it means winning of the winning information group associated with the win of the medium correct bell role. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the right correct bell role”, it means winning of a winning information group associated with winning of the right correct bell role.

Hereinafter, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control RAM 41c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. The sub-control CPU 41a is connected to the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the lamp R.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. 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, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub-status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming status in the sub-control RAM 41c.

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 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls. Further, when paying out award medals based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 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 26 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 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.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. 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 value range of each winning information group of the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not he / she is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning information group to be won using a winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. In this way, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination associated with the selected information group by determining the winning information group. 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 determining means.

  When the main control CPU 40a determines the winning information group (winning combination), the main control RAM 40c stores (sets) the combination information (flag or the like) indicating the type of winning combination associated with the determined winning information group. ) That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small by the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase (clear) the role information of the role. For this reason, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

  The main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the player detects the operation of the start lever 22 (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). This variable game start command instructs a combination of a plurality of combination information if the winning combination is duplicate. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and in a 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) can 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 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on a position signal from a reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the main control CPU 40a knows the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel. Let The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R indicate the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R by the player, that is, which stop button is operated and the order in which the stop buttons are operated. (Sub-control CPU 41a) to grasp.

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player based on the determined winning information group. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, 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 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, 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

  For this reason, if each reel does not have five or more parts of the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, it will stop on any winning line as a result of slip control. The desired type of symbol can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in each reel, when other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, it is desired to stop at any winning line even with slip control. There are cases where it is not possible to stop the display of types of symbols. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that performs stop control of each reel based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R functions as a derivation control means.

  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.

  Then, any winning combination of the small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, stop control at the time of winning of the bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, right correct bell role) will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), in the pachislot machine 10 of this embodiment, three stop buttons are selected when "left correct bell combination", "middle correct bell combination", and "right correct bell combination" are selected. Control performed based on the stop button operated first is different. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the bell combinations is selected.

  When the correct answer is obtained based on the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a is in the middle stage of the middle reel 13C (medium reel middle stop position D5) as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle three lines L1, L3, and L4. Note that the main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the correct answer is reached based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L1, L1 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form either L3 or L4. In this way, in the stop display across a plurality of winning lines, as will be described later, a winning combination of the bell role occurs simultaneously for the plurality of winning lines (in this embodiment, three). In the following description, “bell winning prize” or “bell winning” means stop display across a plurality of winning lines based on the bell winning.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is in the upper stage of the middle reel 13C (upper stop position D4 for the middle reel), as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2. The main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the push order is incorrect based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L2 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form. In the following description, the phrase “missing a bell role” or “bell spilling” means a stop display across only one winning line based on the bell role.

  That is, when the left correct bell combination is won, the stop button 23L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning is displayed in a stop order. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that one of the stop buttons 23C, 23R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first. Is done.

  Further, when the middle correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye which becomes a bell winning is displayed as a stop in response to pressing the stop button 23C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 23L, 23R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first. Is done.

  In addition, when the right correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye that becomes a bell win is stopped and displayed by pressing the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that any one of the stop buttons 23L and 23C for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first. Is done.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning 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 a bell stop eye that spills a bell regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the bell role is won.

Next, stop control at the time of winning a replay combination (promotion replay combination, rush replay combination, fall replay combination, normal replay combination) will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7D, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, during the winning of the replay winning combination among the winning of the replay winning, it is performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons. Control is different. In the present embodiment, the promoted replay role, the rush replay role, and the fall replay role, which are the targets of overlapping winnings and can stop and display different stop eyes based on the pressing order in which the stop buttons are operated, correspond to specific winning roles. .

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, in the winning of the promotion replay role (promotional lip), a specific stop operation is performed to stop and display the promotion stop eye (“promotion”) for each promotion replay group. Each push order for promotion is defined. Further, in order to cope with this, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the replay stop eye (“normal”) is defined for each promoted replay group. In the present embodiment, various push orders corresponding to each of the promoted replay combinations are selected. In addition, in the promotion of the promotion replay role, the pushing order for promotion means the case where the player's stop operation matches the specific stop operation, while the normal pushing order means that the player's stop operation is specific. This means that it does not match the stop operation.

  In FIG. 10, “left middle right” and the like indicate the order in which the reels are stopped, that is, the stop button stop operation order from the front. This notation means a stop operation in the order of stop button 23L (left) → stop button 23C (middle) → stop button 23R (right).

  And as shown to Fig.7 (a), when it becomes the pushing order for a promotion based on winning of a promotion replay role (promotion replay group winning), the main control CPU 40a straddles only one winning line L2. [Watermelon / Replay / Replay], that is, the promotion stop eye that is the specific stop mode is stopped and displayed. In the following description, the term “promotional replay winning prize” or “promotional winning prize” means a stop display of a promotion stop based on each promotion replay role associated with each promotion replay group.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the main control CPU 40a [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the replay stop that becomes the normal stop mode when the normal push order is made based on the winning of the promoted replay role. Make your eyes stop. The replay stop eye is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L1. In the following description, the term “ordinary replay winning a prize” or “ordinary winning” means a stop display of replay stop based on each normal replay combination associated with each replay group.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the promotion replay group 1 (promotion lip 1), a push order for promotion of [middle left and right] is defined. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 1 is elected, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [middle right and left]. On the other hand, when the promotion replay group 1 is elected, the normal replay role 12 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the promotion replay role 1 associated with the promotion replay group 1 by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the promoted replay group 2 (promoted lip 2), [middle right left] push order for promotion is defined. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 2 is won, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle right / left] stop operation. On the other hand, when the promotion replay group 2 is elected, the normal replay role 13 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the promotion replay role 2 associated with the promotion replay group 2 by a stop operation other than [middle right / left] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the promoted replay group 3 (promoted lip 3), a push order for promotion of [right middle left] or [right middle left] is defined. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 3 is elected, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [Right Middle Left] or [Right Middle Left]. On the other hand, when the promoted replay group 3 is elected, the relationship between the promoted replay role 3 associated with the promoted replay group 3 and the repeated winning combination by the stop operation other than [right / left middle] and [right / middle / left] which are the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that becomes a normal winning based on the normal replay combination 14 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, in the winning of the rush replay role (rush lip), a specific stop operation is performed to stop and display the rush stop eye (“rush”) for each rush replay group. Each push order for entry is determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, a pressing order for falling is set for each of the rush replay groups to stop and display the falling stop eye (“falling”). Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal pushing order for stopping and displaying the replay stop eye (“normal”) is determined for each rush replay group. In the present embodiment, various push orders corresponding to each of the rush replay roles are selected based on the winning of any rush replay combination. In the winning replay role, the entry order for entry means that the player's stop operation matches the specific stop operation, while the fall order or normal order is for the player's stop operation. Means that it does not match the specific stop operation.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7C, the main control CPU 40a spans only one of the winning lines L2 when the rushing replay role is won (the rushing replay group winning) is the rushing push order. [Watermelon / Replay / Watermelon], that is, the entry stop eye that is the specific stop mode is stopped and displayed. In the following description, the term “entry replay winning prize” or “rush entry winning” means stop display of the rush stop based on each rush replay role associated with each rush replay group.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7D, when the main control CPU 40a is in the pushing order for the fall or the normal based on the winning of the rush replay role, [Bell Replay Bell], Either the stop stop eye or [replay / replay / replay], that is, the replay stop eye that is in the normal stop mode is stopped and displayed. In addition, about a fall stop eye, it stops and displays so that it may straddle only one winning line L3. In the following description, the term “falling replay winning a prize” or “falling winning award” means a stop display of a fall stop eye based on each falling replay associated with each replay group.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the rush replay group 1 (rush lip 1), the pushing order for rushing [left middle right] or [right and left middle] is determined. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 1, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [left middle right] or [left and right middle]. On the other hand, at the time of winning the rush replay group 1, there is a relationship between the rush replay role 1 associated with the rush replay group 1 and the overlapping winning combination by the stop operation of [right middle left] or [right middle left] which is the normal pushing order. A replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on a certain normal replay combination 15 is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the rush replay group 1 is won, the rush replay group 1 is stopped by a stop operation other than [left middle right], [right and left middle], [right left middle], and [right middle left], which are the push order for falling. The fall stop eye that becomes a drop-in / out prize based on the fall-down replay combination 6 that is in a duplicate winning relationship with the associated entry replay combination 1 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the rush replay group 2 (rush lip 2), a pressing order for rushing of [middle left and right] is defined. Therefore, when the rush replay group 2 is won, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle left and right] stop operation. On the other hand, when the rush replay group 2 is won, the normal replay role 16 that is in a relationship of overlapping winning with the rush replay role 2 associated with the rush replay group 2 by a stop operation of [middle right / left] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the rush replay group 2 is won, the rush replay role 2 associated with the rush replay group 2 is overlapped by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] which are the push order for falling. A fall stop eye that becomes a fall winning prize based on a certain fall replay combination 7 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the rush replay group 3 (rush lip 3), a [middle right / left] push order for rush is defined. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 3, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle right left] stop operation. On the other hand, when the rush replay group 3 is won, the normal replay role 17 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the rush replay role 3 associated with the rush replay group 3 by a stop operation of [middle left and right] which is the normal pushing order is used. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the rush replay group 3 is won, the rush replay role 3 associated with the rush replay group 3 is overlapped by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] which are the push order for falling. A fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize based on a certain fall replay combination 8 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the rush replay group 4 (rush lip 4), a pressing order for rushing of [right middle left] or [right middle left] is determined. For this reason, when the rush replay group 4 is won, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [right middle left] or [right middle left] stop operation. On the other hand, at the time of winning the rush replay group 4, the relationship between the rush replay role 4 associated with the rush replay group 4 by the stop operation of [left middle right] or [middle left and right], which is the normal pushing order, A replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on a certain normal replay combination 18 is stopped and displayed. When the rush replay group 4 is won, the rush replay group 4 is stopped by a stop operation other than [left middle right], [left / right middle], [right left middle], and [right middle left], which are the push order for falling. The fall stop eye that becomes a drop-in / out prize based on the fall-down replay combination 9 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the associated entry replay combination 4 is stopped and displayed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the fall replay combination (fall fall), a specific stop operation is performed to stop and display the fall stop eye (“fall”) for each fall replay group. The order of pushing for falls is determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the replay stop eye (“normal”) is defined for each fall replay group. In the present embodiment, various push orders corresponding to each of the falling replay winning combinations are selected. In addition, in the winning of the fall replay role, the push order for the fall means the case where the player's stop operation matches the specific stop operation, while the normal push order means that the player's stop operation is a specific This means that it does not match the stop operation.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the main control CPU 40a is arranged so as to straddle only one winning line L3 when the falling push order is based on the winning of the falling replay role (falling winning). Bell replay bell], that is, the stop stop eye that is a specific stop mode is stopped and displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7D, the main control CPU 40a [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the replay stop that becomes the normal stop mode when the normal push order is made based on the winning of the fall replay combination. Make your eyes stop.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the fall replay group 1 (fall fall lip 1), a push order other than [left middle right] and [left and right middle] is determined. For this reason, when the fall replay group 1 is elected, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [left middle right] and [right and left middle]. On the other hand, at the time of winning the fall replay group 1, there is a relationship between the fall replay role 1 associated with the fall replay group 1 and the overlapping win by the stop operation of [left middle right] or [left and right middle] which is the normal pushing order. A replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on a certain normal replay combination 7 is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the falling replay group 2 (falling lip 2) has a pressing order for falling other than [middle left and right]. For this reason, when the fall replay group 2 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [middle left and right]. On the other hand, when the fall replay group 2 is won, the normal replay role 8 that is in a relationship of overlapping wins with the fall replay role 2 associated with the fall replay group 2 by a stop operation of [middle left and right] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the falling replay group 3 (falling lip 3) has a falling order other than [middle right / left]. For this reason, when the fall replay group 3 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [middle right left]. On the other hand, when the fall replay group 3 is won, the normal replay role 9 that is in a relationship of overlapping wins with the fall replay role 3 associated with the fall replay group 3 by a stop operation of [middle right / left] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the falling replay group 4 (falling lip 4) has a pressing order for falling other than [middle right / left]. For this reason, when the fall replay group 4 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [Right / Left / Right]. On the other hand, when the fall replay group 4 is elected, the normal replay role 10 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the fall replay role 4 associated with the fall replay group 4 by the stop operation of [Right / Left / Right] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the falling replay group 5 (falling lip 5) has a pressing order for falling other than [right middle left]. For this reason, when the fall replay group 5 is won, the fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [Right Middle Left]. On the other hand, when the fall replay group 5 is won, the normal replay role 11 that is in a relationship of overlapping win with the fall replay role 5 associated with the fall replay group 5 by the stop operation of [right middle left] which is the normal pushing order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on is stopped and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7D, the main control CPU 40a performs the replay to be [Replay / Replay / Replay] regardless of the pressing order based on the winning of the counting normal replay combination (normal lip) (normal winning). The stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the normal replay for counting (normal lip), a specific replay stop eye (“normal”) is displayed for each count normal replay group. While a specific pressing order for the stop operation is determined, the replay stop eye is stopped and displayed even when the pressing order does not match. In the present embodiment, various pressing orders corresponding to the respective count normal replay winning combinations are selected. In the winning of the normal replay role for counting, the specific pressing order means the case where the player's stop operation matches the specific stopping operation, while the non-specific pressing order specifies the player's stopping operation. This means that it does not match the stop operation.

  As described above, in this embodiment, regarding the normal replay combination for counting, a specific pressing order is determined for each normal replay group for counting, while replaying is performed in a non-specific pressing order or a specific pressing order. A stop display of a stop eye, that is, a normal winning is generated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7D, the main control CPU 40a sets the replay stop eye that becomes [Replay / Replay / Replay] regardless of the pressing order based on the winning (normal winning) of the normal replay role (unquestioned). Stop display.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, when the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is won, the replay becomes a normal winning based on the normal replay combination (unquestioned) regardless of the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons (regardless of the pressing order). The stop eye 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). When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination (affirmative) based on the winning combination information. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is not the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a does not win the winning combination based on the winning combination information (ie, the winning combination). Judgment of missing winning combination based on information.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the winning mode determined to be the winning. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the gaming state and control for paying out prize medals in accordance with the prize mode. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined 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 the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry stop eye so as to straddle the two winning lines L2 and L3 in the upper stage of the left reel 13L (upper stop position D1 for the left reel) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When the stop display is made, two cherry winnings are generated at the same time, and control for paying out four award medals corresponding to twice the two is performed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops the cherry stop eye so as to straddle only one winning line L1 in the middle stage of the left reel 13L (left reel middle stop position D2) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When displayed, control is performed to pay out two prize medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the cherry role is missed when the cherry role is won.

  Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals. Note that the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the watermelon role is missed when the watermelon role is won.

  When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out four prize medals. When the main control CPU 40a stops displaying the bell stop eye which becomes the bell winning when determining the winning of the bell role, three bell winnings are generated at the same time, which is three times the four. Control is performed to pay out 12 award medals corresponding to this. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out four prize medals when the bell stop eye that spills the bell is stopped and displayed at the time of determining the winning of the bell role. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  When determining the winning of a replay role (normal replay role, promoted replay role, rush replay role, falling replay role), the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined. Furthermore, when determining the winning of the promoted replay combination, the rush replay combination, or the falling replay combination, there is a case where control relating to the transition of the gaming state described later is performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, regarding the normal replay combination, not only the same replay stop eye is stopped and displayed regardless of the pressing order, but also the same prize, that is, the prize by replaying is given to the player regardless of the pressing order. Is done. As a result of determining the winning in this way, the main control CPU 40a that performs control for giving a prize to the player functions as a prize giving means.

Next, a mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the changing game according to the gaming state will be described.
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 (the sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 40a wins the promotion of the promotion replay role during the control of the low-accuracy RT game and, as a result of the push order for promotion, the occurrence of the promotion prize, the high-accuracy RT1 game (high Transition (promote) to certain RT1). Note that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the low probability RT game in response to the occurrence of the normal winning as a result of the normal push order as a result of winning the promotion replay combination. That is, in the low probability RT game, when the promotion stop eye that wins the promotion replay role and becomes a promotion prize is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high probability RT1 game is satisfied. In addition, the low-probability RT game is continued when the replay stop eye that is won in the promoted replay role and is a normal prize is stopped and displayed, and the transition condition to the high-probability RT1 game is not satisfied.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role and pushes the fall, or wins the replay role and pushes the fall. At the moment, it shifts (falls) to low probability RT game. The main control CPU 40a wins the high-reliability RT1 game in response to the occurrence of the normal winning as a result of the normal push order by winning the fall replay role or the normal push order by winning the rush replay role. Continue (maintain). On the other hand, during the control of the high-precision RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the rush replay role and makes a transition (promotion) to the high-definition RT2 game as a result of the rush-in prize as a result of the rushing push order. That is, in the high-definition RT1 game, when the fall stop eye that becomes a drop-in winning prize is won by winning the fall replay role or the rush replay role, the transition condition to the low-accuracy RT game (the high-definition RT1 game is ended). “RT1 fall condition”) is satisfied. Further, in the high-definition RT1 game, when the rush stop eye that becomes a rush-in prize by winning the rush replay role is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high-probability RT2 game is satisfied. In addition, the high-reliability RT1 game is continued because the transition condition to the high-reliability RT2 game is not satisfied when the replay stop eye that is won by the falling replay combination or the rush replay combination and is a normal winning is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a is elected to the fall replay role and makes a transition (falls) to the low-accuracy RT game as a result of the fall-down prize as a result of the push order for the fall. Note that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the high-definition RT2 game in response to the occurrence of the normal winning as a result of the normal push order as a result of winning the fall replay combination. That is, in the high-definition RT2 game, when the fall-stopped stop is displayed by winning the fall replay role, the transition condition to the low-probability RT game (the “RT2 fall condition” that ends the high-precision RT2 game) is satisfied. It is. In addition, the high-probability RT2 game is continued because the transition condition to the low-probability RT game is not satisfied when the replay stop eye is stopped and displayed by winning the fall replay combination.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and makes a transition to the low-accuracy RT game when a bell spill occurs. It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game and continues the high-accuracy RT2 game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT2 game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and spills the bell is stopped and 12 award medals are not obtained (4 award medals are obtained), the low probability RT The game transition condition (the “RT2 fall condition” which is the end of the high-accuracy RT2 game) is satisfied. Also, in the high-precision RT2 game, when the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and wins the bell is stopped and 12 prize medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-definition RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the transition from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT1 game is made when shifting to the high probability RT2 game. That is, in this embodiment, since the winning probability of the replay role is the highest, the highly probable RT2 game that is advantageous to the player corresponds to the advantageous game state, and the high-accuracy RT1 game that passes through the transition to the advantageous game state is While corresponding to the preparatory gaming state, the low probability RT game that is disadvantageous to the player because the winning probability of the replay role is low corresponds to the normal gaming state. In addition, the promoted replay role that satisfies the transition condition from the low-accuracy RT game to the high-accuracy RT1 game corresponds to the preparation transition opportunity role, and the rush replay role that satisfies the transition condition from the high-accuracy RT1 game to the high-accuracy RT2 game is advantageously transferred. On the other hand, the fall replay role that satisfies the transition condition from the high-accuracy RT1 game and the high-accuracy RT2 game to the low-accuracy RT game corresponds to the normal transition opportunity role. In addition, the normal replay role for counting among the normal replay roles that continue the highly accurate RT2 game corresponds to the maintenance opportunity role. The main control CPU 40a that controls the transition of the gaming state functions as a gaming state control means.

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 display content of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker SP are executed so as to execute various effects based on the content instructed by the command. The output content and the light emission mode of the lamp R are controlled. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a grasps the winning combination missed (non-winning) instructed by the variable game start command when the winning instruction command is not input. Further, since the sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the stop status of each reel, the sub-control CPU 41a can also grasp the missed winning combination from this stop status.

  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 performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

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

  Specifically, in the effect state, there is an ART mode that is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT2 game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state, and an effect of assisting (assisting) a fall-off prize avoidance and a bell prize. In other words, in the present embodiment, an ART mode can be accompanied by a high-accuracy RT2 game that is in an advantageous gaming state.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT1 game. In the case of the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the preparation mode. This preparation mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state, and an effect of assisting the entry prize, the avoidance of the drop-in prize and the bell prize is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, a high-reliability RT1 game that is in a preparation game state can be accompanied by a preparation mode.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability 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. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and the effect of assisting the promotion prize or the bell prize is not performed. The effect state includes a normal mode (navi standby) that is performed when the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and a situation occurs when a right to shift to the ART mode described later is generated. In the normal mode (navigation standby), the effect display device 14 is roughly configured the same as the display screen for the normal mode, and a character string such as “waiting” is displayed on the display screen. Is done. This normal mode (navigation standby) is a low probability lottery state in which the winning probability of the replay role is the same as in the normal mode, and is a state in which an effect of assisting the promotion prize and the bell prize is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal mode and the normal mode (navigation standby) can be involved in the low-probability RT game that is in the normal game 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. As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a of the present embodiment controls the effect mode according to the game state controlled by the main control CPU 40a, and therefore can correspond to a game state control means.

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 control in each effect state described below, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift the effect state in the manner shown in FIG.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a low probability RT game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the normal mode (during normal mode control). During the normal mode, as a replay role, a normal replay role (unquestioned) and a promotion replay role, that is, winning of the normal replay role and winning are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an effect of assisting the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as not to be applied. In other words, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win a bell. In the normal mode, when a player wins the bell role, a bell win occurs when the player happens to push the correct answer.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a produces an effect so as not to perform an effect that assists the promotion prize when the winning of the promoted replay role in which the stop mode can be changed by the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so that the promotion prize is difficult. In the normal mode, when a promotion replay role is elected, a promotion prize occurs when the player happens to be in the push order for promotion.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. In this ART rush lottery, random numbers are assigned to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the sum is 1/260) based on the winning combination instructed to win. Done. The sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery, while in the ART mode when deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery. Does not generate the right to transfer. In the ART rush lottery of the present embodiment, random numbers are distributed so that the ART first win probability calculated as “winning” calculated in consideration of the winning probability of each winning combination is approximately 1/260. .

  The random numbers used for the ART entry lottery and various lotteries described later 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.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets [1] to the ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Set. That is, when the ART flag is set to [1], the generation of the ART mode is guaranteed. Further, the sub control CPU 41a continuously holds the setting contents of the ART flag even when the mode is shifted to another mode. In the following description, “with an ART flag” means that the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, that is, the ART flag is [1]. Further, “without ART flag” means that the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred, that is, the ART flag is not [1] [0 (zero)]. In the ART mode, [1] is set between the generation of the right to transition to the ART mode and the end of the ART mode, and [0 (zero)] is set when the ART mode ends.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of "winning" in the ART entry lottery, and when the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. The effect state is controlled so as to shift to the normal mode (navigation standby) for notification. In this case, the low probability RT game is continued in the game state. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery. For this reason, during the normal mode, there is no ART flag.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a gives a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first in each variable game. For example, as a penalty, the normal mode (navigation standby) or the preparation mode will not be started even after the promotion prize is instructed, the ART mode control will not be started even if the entry prize is accidentally entered, or the ART will enter The lottery is not performed, or the ART rush lottery is performed, but a “non-winning” result is always derived. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the promotion stop eye cannot occur at the first operation of the stop button 23L, that is, the push order in which the stop button 23L is first operated is set as the push order for promotion of the promotion replay role. Not. Thereby, during the normal mode, when there is no ART flag, the mode is not shifted to the normal mode (navigation standby), the preparation mode, the ART mode, or the like. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when there is no ART flag, a transition to the ART mode through the normal mode (navigation standby) and the preparation mode, that is, the transition to the high-definition RT2 game through the high-probability RT1 game is not assumed. Become.

Next, control related to the normal mode (standby) will be described.
When the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode (navigation standby).

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the normal mode (navigation standby) (during normal mode (navigation standby) control). In the normal mode (navigation standby), the normal replay role (unquestioned) and the promoted replay role, that is, the winning and winning of the normal replay role are instructed as the replay role.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a provides a “bell navigation effect” for assisting correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to be performed. That is, during the normal mode (navigation standby), the performance is performed so that the bell winning is assisted. In the normal mode (navigation standby), a bell win is generated when the player follows the bell navigator effect when winning the bell role.

  The bell navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, when “1” is attached in the middle of the three, the player is made aware that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the bell role is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the correct push order according to the type of bell combination instructed to win. For example, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the middle correct bell role, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the bell navigation effect with the content that informs that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a provides a notification effect for notifying the player of the recommended stop operation pressing order when the winning of the replay combination whose stop mode can be changed by the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to cause the “repnavi effect”. The sub-control CPU 41a causes the Lip Navi effect according to the situation in which the winning is instructed and the type of the Replay role to be instructed as such a Lip Navi effect.

  The Lip Navi effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the images. For example, when “1” is notified in the middle, “2” on the left, and “3” on the right, the stop button 23C → the stop button 23L → the stop button 23R, that is, [middle left and right] should be operated in this order. Let the player know.

  Then, when the winning of the promotion replay role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a lip navigator effect as a specific notification effect of the content for notifying the push order for promotion (promotion winning prize). In this way, winning of the promoted replay role is instructed because the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, so that the promotion replay role is promoted by informing the push order for promotion of the promoted replay role. Done.

  That is, when the winning of the promotion replay role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the display contents of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the Lip Navi effect with the notification of the push order for promotion accompanying the start of the variable game. To control. For example, when the winning of the promotion replay role 2 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the Lip navigator effect with the content informing the [middle right / left] push order as the push order for promotion.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the preparation mode when the promotion prize is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT1 game.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since there is an ART flag, when the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, the information that leads to the promotion prize that triggers the transition to the high-precision RT1 game is notified, and the game The player will be led to a highly accurate RT1 game.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the preparation mode while the gaming state is the high-definition RT1 game and the ART flag is present.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the preparation mode (during the preparation mode control). In addition, during the preparation mode, as a replay role, a normal replay role (unquestioned), a fall replay role, that is, a normal replay role, and a rush replay role, that is, a fall replay role or a normal replay role are selected and awarded.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the “bell navigation effect” to be performed in the same manner as in the normal mode (navigation standby) when the winning of the bell combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In other words, during the preparation mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that during the preparation mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to perform the “rep navi effect” as in the normal mode (navigation standby) when the winning of the replay combination in which the stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a, when the winning of the fall replay combination is instructed, performs a Lip Navi effect as a normal notification effect of the content for notifying the normal pushing order (normal winning). In this way, winning of the fall replay role is instructed because the gaming state is a high-definition RT1 game, so the avoidance of the fall and fall prize, that is, the normal prize is assisted by notifying the normal push order of the fall replay role. Production is performed as shown. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a high-probability RT1 game, the effect state is the normal mode if the state is a transition from the state without the ART flag. Without performing the above, the presentation is performed so as to avoid the overturning prize, that is, the normal prize is not assisted.

  In other words, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the fall replay role, the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the Lip Navi effect with the content of notifying the normal push order with the start of the variable game. To control. For example, when the winning of the fall replay combination 2 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the Lip navigator effect with the content of notifying the [middle left / right] push order that is the normal push order.

  Further, when the winning of the rush replay role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a lip navigator effect as a specific notification effect of the content for notifying the push order for rush (rush entry prize). In this way, winning of the entry replay role is instructed because the gaming state is a high-definition RT1 game, so the notification of the pushing order for the entry of the entry replay role is assisted to avoid the entry prize, and the entry prize Production is performed so that is assisted. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a high-probability RT1 game, if the state of transition is from the state without the ART flag, the rendering state is the normal mode. The performance is performed so that the avoidance of the entry prize or the fall-in prize is not assisted.

  In other words, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the rush replay role, the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the Lip navigator effect with the content of notifying the push order for rush with the start of the variable game. To control. For example, when the winning of the rush replay combination 2 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the lip navigation effect with the content of notifying the [middle left and right] push order as the push order for rush.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the ART mode when the entry prize is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT2 game. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the preparation mode when the normal winning is instructed. In accordance with this, the highly probable RT1 game is continued in the gaming state. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the preparation mode because the ART flag is present when the drop-in prize is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. During such a low-probability RT game preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist in a bell prize or a promotion prize.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the ART mode while the gaming state is the high-definition RT2 game and the ART flag is present. Since the start of the ART mode control is triggered by a rush-in prize, it is synchronized with the start of the high-precision RT2 game in the gaming state.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the ART mode (controlling the ART mode). Note that during the ART mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination for counting and a fall replay combination, that is, winning of a normal replay combination and winning are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed in the same manner as the preparation mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. That is, during the ART mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that during the ART mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs “rep navi effect” in the same manner as in the normal mode (navigation standby) and the preparation mode when the winning of the replay combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop buttons among the small combinations is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that

  In other words, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the fall replay role, the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the Lip Navi effect with the content of notifying the normal push order with the start of the variable game. To control. For this reason, during the ART mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the avoidance of the falling prize, that is, the normal winning. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a high-probability RT2 game, the production state is the normal mode if the state is a transition from the state without the ART flag. Without making it, the presentation is performed so as to avoid the falling prize, that is, the normal winning is not assisted.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the counting normal replay role, causes the lip navigation effect to be performed with the content of notifying the specific push order at the start of the variable game, and the non-specific push order. In some cases, a Lip Navi effect may be performed with the content of informing the user. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a high-probability RT2 game, if the state of transition is from the state without the ART flag, the effect state is the normal mode. An effect is performed so that a specific or non-specific push order is not assisted without a Lip Navi effect.

  In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to cause a Lip navigator effect to accompany the start of the variable game when the winning of the count normal replay role is instructed. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a, depending on the situation in which winning is instructed, allows the Lip Navi effect to be performed with the content informing the specific push order or the content to be informed of the non-specific push order, Furthermore, it is instructed whether or not to perform the Lip navigator effect. For example, when the winning of the normal replay combination 2 is instructed, if the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the specific pressing order, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the pressing order of [middle left and right], while notifying the non-specific pressing order. In the case of, a Lip Navi effect is performed with each content informing the pressing order other than [Middle].

  Using such a specific and non-specific pressing order of the count normal replay combination, the ART signal output control related to the output of the ART signal, which will be described later, is performed in cooperation with the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a. The ART signal output control will be described later in detail.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the ART mode when the normal winning is instructed. In accordance with this, the highly probable RT2 game is continued in the gaming state. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so that the ART mode is continued because the ART flag is present when a drop-in prize or a bell spill is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. During the ART mode of such a low-probability RT game, an effect is performed so that a bell prize or a promotion prize is assisted. Then, during the ART mode of the high-definition RT1 game after the promotion prize, an effect is performed so as to assist in avoiding a bell prize, a rush-in prize, or a fall-in prize.

  In this embodiment, during the ART mode, when the player wins the normal replay role for counting, the player follows the Lip Navi effect, so that the normal winning occurs regardless of the specific push order or the non-specific push order. There is no penalty for the player.

  However, in the present embodiment, even if a Lip Navi effect is performed, it cannot be grasped which of the Replay roles is based on the winning of the fall replay role or the normal replay role for counting. As a result, if the player ignores the contents of this Lip Navi effect at the time of the appearance of the Lip Navi effect, it will lead to the disadvantage of shifting (falling) to the low probability RT game if the winning of the fall replay role with the possibility of a fall prize sell.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the remaining G number indicating the number of times of the variable game that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. This remaining G number is also the number of times that the game can be assisted by the player by means of a bell navigation effect in the ART mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continues to hold the remaining G number while the ART flag is present even when transitioning to another mode. In the following description, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the remaining G number is not set while the remaining G number is not set. Further, when the remaining G number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining G number is set while the remaining G number is being set.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number when shifting to the ART mode from when the remaining G number is not set. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the ART mode. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode, that is, the number of variable games that have elapsed since the start of the ART mode, based on the variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c using the effect display device 14. Thereby, the player can be made aware of the number of times that the variable game is performed in the ART mode.

  Then, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a can execute the next variable game if the ART mode continuation condition is satisfied (continuation). The effect state is controlled to continue the ART mode. On the other hand, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the next fluctuation if the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied (non-continuation). The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a high-assist RT effect for notifying the end of the ART mode from the game is provided. In the present embodiment, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)” and the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied, the ART mode is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a continuation rate indicating a rate (probability) at which the continuation used in the ART continuous lottery of the ART mode after the transition is achieved when generating the right to transition to the ART mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART continuous lottery when the start of the variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)” is instructed. This ART continuous lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either [continue] or [non-continue] so that the continuation rate determined when the right to transition to the ART mode is generated. The sub-control CPU 41a grasps the continuation rate used in the ART continuous lottery from information (flag or the like) indicating the continuation rate stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [continuation (winning)] in the ART continuous lottery. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [non-continuation (non-winning)] in the ART continuous lottery.

  Then, when deriving [continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a again adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as the continuation condition is satisfied (re-addition). And the production state is controlled so as to continue the ART mode.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 41a for sub-control derives [non-continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the high-precision RT effect is performed as the continuation condition is not satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the high-accuracy RT effect, and then causes the high-accuracy RT effect to be performed until the falling prize or the bell spill occurs. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c in accordance with the highly accurate RT effect.

  During such a high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining G number. Therefore, even if the fall replay role is won, the effect display device 14 displays so as not to perform the Lip Navi effect. Control the content. That is, during the high-definition RT production, the production is performed so as to make it difficult to avoid the falling prize and to make the normal prize difficult. Note that during the high-definition RT production, the drop-in prize is avoided and the normal prize is generated when the player happens to stop in the normal push order when the fall-play is played. In addition, during the high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining G number, so that the display content of the effect display device 14 is displayed so that the bell navigation effect is not performed even if the bell role is won. Control. That is, during the high-precision RT production, the production is performed so that it is difficult to avoid the bell spill and the bell winning is difficult. In addition, during high-definition RT production, bell spillage is avoided in a scene where the player happens to push in the correct order when he wins the bell role, and a bell win occurs. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode in response to the falling prize or the bell spilling during the highly accurate RT effect. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game.

  In this embodiment, the ART mode is controlled by dividing a variable game corresponding to the remaining G number (grant number) into unit periods with one set. Further, depending on the establishment of the ART mode continuation condition, the control is again made to the ART mode for one set after the passage (digestion) of the ART mode for one set. Further, when the ART mode continuation condition is not established, the ART mode control is terminated with the progress (digestion) of one set of ART mode as an end condition. Therefore, in this embodiment, the continuation (loop) of the ART mode, that is, the extension is realized by the establishment of the continuation condition of the ART mode.

  In the present embodiment, the ART mode is a state in which not only the gaming state is a high-definition RT2 game but also an effect (bell navigation effect or lip navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously. As a result, in the ART mode, the number of scenes where the player holds (injects) medals is reduced, and the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted, and the acquisition of award medals based on the bell winning is assisted. Further, in the ART mode, avoidance of the falling prize is assisted, and continuation of the high-accuracy RT2 game is assisted. That is, it becomes an advantageous state for the player during the ART mode.

  In addition, during the normal mode, it is possible to obtain a chance to connect to the high-accuracy RT2 game through the high-accuracy RT1 game through the ART entry lottery. This is a state in which no production or Lip Navi production) is performed. As a result, in the normal mode, promotion prizes and bell prizes are not assisted. That is, during the normal mode, the player cannot be brought into a state advantageous to the player, and is in a disadvantageous state for the player as compared to the ART mode.

  Further, in the normal mode (navigation standby), while the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, an effect (bell navigation effect or lip navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. As a result, in the normal mode (navigation standby), the promotion prize is assisted, and the transition to the high probability RT1 game is assisted. Further, in the normal mode (navigation standby), the acquisition of a prize medal based on the bell winning is assisted. That is, the normal mode (navigation standby) is at least an advantageous state for the player compared to the normal mode.

  Further, during the preparation mode, not only the gaming state is the high-definition RT1 game, but also an effect (bell navigation effect or lip navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. Thereby, in the preparation mode, the entry prize is assisted, and the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game is assisted. In the preparation mode, the acquisition of a prize medal based on the Bell winning a prize is assisted. Further, in the preparation mode, avoidance of a falling prize is assisted, and continuation of the high-precision RT1 game is assisted. That is, the preparation mode is at least an advantageous state for the player compared to the normal mode and the normal mode (standby).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that determines whether or not an ART right is generated by performing an ART entry lottery functions as a right generation unit. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control for performing the Lip Navi effect functions as a notification control unit.

  The pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the number of rushes in which the production state is controlled to the ART mode can be counted by the data counter DC or the hall computer HC. The number of times of entry controlled to such an ART mode indicates the number of times of starting the ART mode that shifts from the normal mode through the normal mode (standby standby) and then through the preparation mode.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration related to counting the number of rushes will be described.
The number of rushes is counted based on the output of an ART signal as a start signal output by the main control CPU 40a at a predetermined timing. That is, the main control CPU 40a can output an ART signal in accordance with the status of the high-precision RT2 game after the occurrence of a promotion prize that satisfies the conditions for shifting to the high-precision RT1 game. The main control CPU 40a can output an ART signal to the data counter DC and the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 42. This ART signal instructs the transition to the high-definition RT2 game (that is, the transition), and in particular during the ART mode in which the performance state transitions from the normal mode through the normal mode (navigation standby) and then through the preparation mode ( (After starting). The main control CPU 40a that outputs the ART signal in this manner functions as a signal output means.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, the transition to the high probability RT2 game is achieved by a rush prize based on the winning of the rush replay role. Such a rush entry prize can be adjusted by a Lip Navi effect controlled by the sub-control CPU 41a. Specifically, the push order for the rush replay group to rush includes a push order in which the stop button 23L (left) is first stopped, and two types of push orders in which the stop button 23C (middle) is first stopped. A total of four types of pressing orders are determined, which are the pressing order in which the stop button 23R (right) is first stopped.

  Then, it is determined that a rush prize (rush) is given to a scene in which the rush replay group has a push order for rush. For example, in the rush replay group 1, a stop operation in the order of the stop button 23L → the stop button 23C → the stop button 23R is determined in which [left middle right] is the push order for rush. For this reason, when the entry replay group 1 is elected, a player who follows the stop operation of the Lip Navi effect is guided to the entry award by causing the Lip Navi effect with the content of [left middle right] to be performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, during the control of the high-accuracy RT1 game, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the Lip Navi effect even if the main control CPU 40a does not perform any special processing, and as a result, the desired state that triggers the transition of the game state. Can lead to winning the replay role. On the other hand, in the normal mode without the ART flag related to the low-probability RT game, in the scene where the game state transitions to the high-probability RT1 game due to a promotion prize, the normal mode is continued for the production and the lip navigation effect is also performed. It will not be broken. In this case, the game state can be guided to the low probability RT game as a result of not performing the Lip navigator effect at the time of subsequent winning of the fall replay role or the rush replay role.

  In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a intentionally creates a scene in which the ART signal can be output appropriately as a result of adjusting the appearance timing of the Lip Navi effect performed by the sub control CPU 41a and the content to be notified.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, after the transition to the high-definition RT2 game, a normal winning occurs based on the winning of the normal replay role for counting. The normal winning can be adjusted by the re-navigation effect of the sub-control CPU 41a to adjust whether to win from a specific pressing order or from a non-specific pressing order. Specifically, for the normal replay combination for counting, six types of pressing orders are determined based on the order of stop operation of the stop button.

  On the other hand, regardless of whether a specific pressing order or non-specific pressing order is selected for each counting normal replay role, in the scene of the stop operation, the stop display of the replay stop will be a normal win. Is stipulated. And, when winning such a counting normal replay role, there are cases where a specific push order is notified, a case where a non-specific push order is notified, and a case where a push order is not notified depending on the situation. . For this reason, when the normal replay group 1 is won and a specific push order is to be notified, the player follows the Lip Navi effect by performing the Lip Navi effect with the content [left middle right]. Usually, a winning will occur. On the other hand, when the non-specific push order is notified when the normal replay group 1 is won, a Lip navigator effect other than [left middle right], that is, [middle right left] or [right left middle] is performed. As a result of the player following the Lip Navi effect, a normal winning occurs. Further, when the normal replay group 1 is won and the push order is not notified, the lip navigation effect is not performed, and as a result of the stop operation as the player thinks, the majority (probability of 5/6) ), A normal winning is generated from a non-specific pressing order, while a normal winning is generated from a specific pressing order although rare (1/6 probability).

  Hereinafter, a configuration in which the main control CPU 40a intentionally creates a scene where the ART signal can be output appropriately will be described as a result of adjusting the appearance timing and notification content of the Lip Navi effect performed by the sub control CPU 41a as described above.

First, the flow of processing until the main control CPU 40a outputs the ART signal will be described focusing on the situation from the high-definition RT1 game.
The main control CPU 40a is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c as a counting means when a normal replay role for counting is won and a specific pushing order is made during the high-precision RT2 game from the occurrence of the rush prize. “1” is added to the ART output count as the number of matches indicating the number of occurrences of the normal winning from the specific pressing order. The main control CPU 40a adds “1” to the ART output count when there is a third stop operation that is the last stop operation of the winning variable game of the normal counting replay role. The timing of the third stop operation and the timing of the corresponding reel stop based on the third stop operation are the timing at which the player hardly feels a difference. In addition, the main control CPU 40a is triggered by the start of the output of the ART signal, the normal replay role for counting, and the occurrence of the normal winning from the non-specific push order, the rush-in winning, the falling-in winning, or the bell spilling. The ART output count is reset to “0 (zero)” (cleared (erased)).

  When the ART output count reaches “5”, the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal when the specific game condition is established during the high-accuracy RT2 game and triggered by the end of the variable game. That is, the main control CPU 40a accepts the output of the ART signal as the specific condition is satisfied on the condition that the normal win for counting is won and the predetermined number (5 times) of the normal winnings based on the specific pressing order is generated. Occur. The main control CPU 40a that allows the output of the ART signal in this way functions as a signal output permission means.

  The main control CPU 40a is a variable game in which the ART output count reaches “5”, and after the third stop that stops the last reel of the variable game, that is, after all reels stop, the next variable game starts. Prior to this, the output of the ART signal is started. For this reason, the output of the ART signal is already started at the start of the next variation game after the variation game in which the ART output count reaches “5”. Also, the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal and then continues to output during the next variable game. After stopping all reels of the next variable game, the main control CPU 40a further outputs the next variable game. The output of the ART signal is stopped before the start. In this way, the time for which the output of the ART signal is continued is a time sufficient for receiving the input of the ART signal by the data counter DC or the hall computer HC.

  Further, when the output of the ART signal is started, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ART output start command indicating that the output of the ART signal is started to the sub control CPU 41a. As a result, the sub control CPU 41a grasps (determines) that the ART signal has been output, and sets [1] to the output completion flag indicating that the ART output start command has been input to a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Then, [0 (zero)] is set to the output flag when the transition to the normal mode occurs.

  In the following description, “ART signal output completed” refers to a case after the ART signal is output (whether or not the ART signal has been output is affirmative), that is, the output flag of the sub-control RAM 41c is [1]. means. In the case of “ART signal not output”, the ART signal is not output (whether or not the ART signal is output is negative), that is, the output flag of the sub-control RAM 41c is not [1] [0 (zero). ] Means. The sub-control CPU 41a that grasps (determines) the output status of the ART signal in this manner functions as an output determination unit.

  When the ART output count stored in the main control RAM 40c reaches “4” immediately before “5”, the main control CPU 40a starts the next variable game, that is, operates the start lever 22. In response to this, an ART output standby command is output to the sub-control CPU 41a. This ART output standby command indicates that the ART output count has reached “4”, which is the number of times immediately before reaching “5” indicating the start of the output of the ART signal by winning the count normal replay role. The CPU 41a for control is made to grasp.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, during the control of the high-precision RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a does not interpose the non-specific pressing order of the counting normal replay role, and the specific pressing order of the normal counting replay role is The output of the ART signal is started upon occurrence of multiple times (in this embodiment, 5 times). In addition, the main control CPU 40a allows for the winning or winning of the bell role (including the normal replay role that overlaps with the fall replay role) regarding the ART output count, and continuously holds the ART output count. To do. In addition, since the start of the output of such an ART signal is performed after the game state is shifted from the high-accuracy RT1 game to the high-accuracy RT2 game, in the production state, it is performed after the transition to the ART mode. After the start of the ART mode, the game is performed from the end of the fifth variation game at the shortest.

  Then, in the scene where the ART signal is to be output, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the counting normal replay role, the sub-control CPU 41a informs the specific push order leading to the normal winning (hereinafter referred to as “count”). "Navigation effect") is performed with the start of the target variable game. Thereby, the sub control CPU 41a assists the main control CPU 40a to appropriately output the ART signal.

  That is, when the ART signal is not output after the transition to the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a count navigation effect every time a normal replay role for counting is won, thereby generating a normal winning based on the specific pressing order. To assist. As a result, in the scene where the ART signal is to be output, the main control CPU 40a effectively adds the ART output count and creates a situation in which the ART signal is appropriately output.

  As a result, the ART signal is output in the flow shown in FIG. FIG. 11A shows a case in which the ART flag shifts to the ART mode after the entry prize has occurred with the ART flag. In other words, after the entry prize has been generated, the main control CPU 40a takes the ART by the main control CPU 40a upon winning the count normal replay role and taking the normal prize based on the specific push order (normal count replay group win + specific push order → normal win). The output count is incremented by “1” (count + 1). In this case, when a normal replay role for counting is won, a count navigation effect is accompanied (there is a count navigation effect).

  For this reason, a specific winning order leading to the normal winning is notified and the player follows the count navigation effect, so that the normal winning occurs, and the main control CPU 40a adds the ART output count. Subsequently, when the ART output count reaches “5” (count = 5), the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal (ART signal output).

  Further, in a scene where the ART signal should not be output, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the count normal replay role, the main control CPU 40a outputs the ART signal by not performing the count navigation effect. Control to avoid this.

  That is, if the ART signal has already been output after the transition to the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the ART output count by not performing the count navigation effect (repnavi effect) every time the normal replay role for counting is won. Make it easier to avoid. As a result, in a scene where the ART signal should not be output, the main control CPU 40a effectively avoids the addition of the ART output count and avoids the situation where the ART signal is erroneously output.

  In addition, as a scene where the ART signal should not be output, in this embodiment, there is an ART signal output restriction state in which the normal mode is set because there is no ART flag in the highly probable RT2 game.

  That is, in the case of the ART signal output restriction, the sub-control CPU 41a makes it easy to avoid the addition of the ART output count by not performing the count navigation effect (repnavi effect) every time the normal count replay role is won. In the state of the ART signal output restriction, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the Lip Navi effect for each winning of the fall replay role, or does not perform the Bel Navi effect for each winning of the Bell role, thereby improving the gaming state. While avoiding the continuation of the RT2 game, the transition of the gaming state to the low probability RT game is promoted. In the case of ART signal output restriction, there are situations where the player's stop operation when winning the normal replay role for counting continues in a specific order of pushing four times, but there is no ART flag. No lip navigator production.

  In addition, even when the ART signal has already been output, there is a situation in which a scene in which the player's stop operation at the time of winning the normal counting replay role is in a specific pushing order continues four times by chance. In this situation, when the count normal replay combination is won and the specific pressing order is reached, the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal. For this reason, when the sub-control CPU 41a outputs the ART signal standby command after outputting the ART signal, the sub-control CPU 41a informs of the non-specific push order leading to the normal winning at the time of winning the next normal replay for counting. , “Count gasase navigator production”) is performed with the start of the target variable game. Thereby, the sub control CPU 41a assists the main control CPU 40a to avoid the output of the ART signal. In the present embodiment, the scene accompanied by the count gas navigator effect is in the ART mode, that is, the scene with the ART flag.

  Then, in a situation where the scene of the specific pushing order based on the winning of the normal replay role for counting continues four times by chance, the main control CPU 40a can reset the ART output count and erroneously execute the ART signal. Is avoided.

  As a result, the output of the ART signal is avoided in the flow shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 11B shows a case in which the ART state has already shifted to the ART mode with the ART flag. In this case, when the normal replay role for counting is won, there is no count navigation effect (no count navigation effect). For this reason, when the player's stop operation does not coincide with the specific pushing order because the specific pushing order is not notified, the ART output count is not added by the main control CPU 40a, and the output of the ART signal is also avoided. . On the other hand, when the stop operation of the player happens to be in a specific push order without notification of the specific push order, the ART output count is incremented by “1” by the main control CPU 40a (normal replay for counting). Group win + specific push order → count +1).

  Subsequently, after the ART output count reaches “4”, the main control CPU 40a resets the ART output count to “0” when a normal replay role for counting is won and a non-specific pressing order is triggered ( Normal replay group win for counting + non-specific push order-> count = 0). Accordingly, since the ART output count does not reach “5”, the output of the ART signal is avoided by the main control CPU 40a (ART signal output avoidance). In this case, when the normal replay role for counting is won, a count gasase navigator effect is accompanied (there is a count gasase navigator effect).

  As a result of such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, in the present embodiment, after the promotion prize is won, and after entering the rush prize from the high-definition RT1 game, the normal replay for counting is further played. The trigger signal is output by the main control CPU 40a at the time of five normal winnings based on a specific pressing order, and then the output of the ART signal is avoided again.

  In FIGS. 12A and 12B, “standby” means from the end of the immediately preceding variable game until the target variable game is started, “lever” means operation of the start lever 22, “Third stop” means the stop of the last reel of the variable game. "Main" means the main control CPU 40a, "RT state" means [1] means high probability RT1 game, [2] means high probability RT2 game, and "ART output count" means ART output count. This means the setting contents, and “count state” means the counting status of the ART output count. Further, “sub” means the sub-control CPU 41a, “navigation” means the content of the notification in the Lip Navi effect, and “mode” means the effect state. Further, “ON” of the ART signal means that the ART signal is being output (start), and “OFF” of the ART signal means that the output of the ART signal is being stopped (end).

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the ART signal is not output unless there is a normal winning of 5 times based on a specific pressing order of the counting normal replay combination after the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game. For this reason, it is possible to control whether or not to output the ART signal by adjusting the degree of establishment of the five normal winnings based on the specific pressing order of the counting normal replay combination after the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a) when the ART signal is output, in a scene where a variable game is played during the high-precision RT1 game in the preparation mode through the normal mode (standby), the rush replay group in the first variable game The rush replay combination 4 associated with 4 is determined, and a rip navigator effect is provided to notify the push order [right / left middle] for rush. As a result, as a result of the entry prize, a transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game is made, and the “RT state” is also set to “2” in the subsequent variable games. In this case, the ART output count is “0” and the ART signal is not output, and the ART output count is once reset to “0” in response to the third stop.

  Subsequently, the normal replay combination 1 associated with the normal replay group 1 is determined in the second variation game, and a count navigation effect that notifies a specific pressing order [left middle right] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the specific pushing order of the normal replay combination for counting, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” and becomes “1” with the third stop. The second variation game is started in a situation in which the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, so that the count navigation effect is performed. In this case, the “mode” becomes the start of the ART mode (ART start) since it is the first time after the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game.

  Subsequently, as a result of passing through the third and fourth variation games, the ART output count is “+2”, and after the ART output count is set to “3”, it is associated with the normal replay group 6 in the fifth variation game. The normal replay combination 6 is determined, and a count navigation effect that notifies a specific pressing order [right middle left] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the specific pushing order of the counting normal replay combination, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “4” with the third stop. Since the fifth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, the count navigation effect is performed. As a result of the ART output count being “4”, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ART output standby command to the sub control CPU 41a.

  Subsequently, the normal replay combination 4 associated with the normal replay group 4 is determined in the sixth variation game, and a count navigation effect that notifies a specific pressing order [middle right / left] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the specific pushing order of the counting normal replay combination, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “5” with the third stop. Since the sixth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, the count navigation effect is performed. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ART signal to the data counter DC or the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 42 ("ON"). Further, as a result that the ART signal has already been output, the output completion flag is set to [1] upon the third stop.

  In the seventh variation game, the ART output is reset to “0” by the output of the ART signal, and the ART signal has already been output. In addition, while the normal replay combination 4 associated with the normal replay group 4 is determined in the seventh variation game, the count navigation effect is not performed. Since the seventh variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has already been output, the count navigation effect is not performed. In this seventh variation game, the normal replay combination 4 associated with the normal replay group 4 is determined and no Lip navigator effect is performed. However, if it happens to be in a specific pushing order, the third stop is triggered. The ART output count is incremented by “+1” to be “1”. Further, during the seventh variation game, the main control CPU 40a continues to output the ART signal to the data counter DC or the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 42, but triggered by the third stop. The output of the ART signal is ended (stopped) (becomes “OFF”). As a result, the data counter DC or the hall computer HC inputs the ART signal via the external terminal board 42, thereby counting (counting up) the number of times of entering the ART mode.

  In the present embodiment, the ART output count is counted (added) by matching with a specific push order when winning the count normal replay combination, while the count normal replay combination is counted in a specific push order. Regardless of the non-specific push order, the same replay award is awarded at the same replay stop point. That is, in this embodiment, the ART signal is not output with a configuration that minimizes the influence on the game when adopting the configuration of the specific push order or the non-specific push order in the ART output count. Can be controlled.

  Also, in this embodiment, when winning the count normal replay combination, a specific push order is notified if an ART signal should be output, whereas a specific push order is notified if an ART signal should not be output. The order of pressing is not reported.

  As a result, in a situation where an ART signal should be output, the player can be allowed to advance the game so as to effectively promote a normal winning from a specific pushing order. On the other hand, in a situation where the ART signal should not be output, the player can be allowed to advance the game so as to effectively suppress the normal winning from the specific pushing order.

  In particular, in the situation where ART signal output is restricted, even if the fall replay combination is determined, the rip navigator effect is not performed, creating a situation that effectively generates a transition to low-probability RT games and outputting the ART signal. A situation is created that does not actively cause a situation that allows That is, when there is no ART flag, the occurrence of a situation in which an ART signal is output is reduced even when a transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game is made due to the entry prize.

  In addition, since the ART signal is output on the condition that the normal winning is generated a plurality of times (five times) based on the specific pressing order of the normal replay combination for counting, the ART signal output restriction status Thus, the occurrence of a situation in which an ART signal is output even if a normal winning based on a specific pressing order of the normal replay combination for counting occurs is reduced.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12B when the ART signal output is avoided, the normal replay combination 6 associated with the normal replay group 6 is determined in the eighth variation game continued from FIG. Count navigator production is not performed. Since the eighth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has already been output, the count navigation effect is not performed. In this eighth variation game, the normal replay combination 6 associated with the normal replay group 6 is determined, and no Lip navigator effect is performed. Therefore, in the case of a non-specific push order, the third stop is triggered. The ART output count is reset to “0”.

  Subsequently, as a result of the ninth to thirteenth variation games in which the count navigation effect is not performed, the normal output is accidentally won in these variation games, the ART output count is “+3”, and the ART output count is “3”. After that, the normal replay combination 2 associated with the normal replay group 2 is determined in the 14th variation game. In the case of the 14th variation game, when it becomes a normal prize by chance, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “4” with the third stop. This 14th variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has already been output and the ART signal should not be output, so the count navigation effect is not performed. As a result of the ART output count being “4”, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ART output standby command to the sub control CPU 41a.

  Subsequently, the normal replay combination 1 associated with the normal replay group 1 is determined in the fifteenth variation game, and a count gasse navigator effect that notifies other than a specific pressing order [left middle right] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the non-specific pressing order of the counting normal replay combination, the ART output count is reset to “0” with the third stop. Since the fifteenth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has been output and the ART signal should not be output, the count navigation effect is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, when a normal replay combination for counting is won, a non-specific pressing order may be notified instead of a specific pressing order if the ART signal has already been output. That is, in the situation where the ART signal should not be output because the ART signal has already been output, it is possible to effectively avoid the normal winning based on the specific pressing order of the normal replay combination for counting.

  In this embodiment, since the ART signal has been output and the ART output count has reached “4”, the ART output count can be reached in a situation where the ART output count can reach “5” by the next normal winning. This is instructed to the sub-control CPU 41a by the main control CPU 40a. As a result, the sub-control CPU 41a can effectively control whether or not to execute the Lip Navi effect according to whether the ART output count has reached “4” and the output status of the ART signal. become.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) During high-accuracy RT2 game, after the transition from the presence of the ART flag, until the ART signal is output, normal winning based on a specific pressing order of the normal replaying role for counting is encouraged and the output of the ART signal is allowed A situation occurs. On the other hand, even when there is no ART flag that is not expected to shift to the high-reliability RT2 game, there is a case where a transition to the high-reliability RT1 game is made by a promotion prize based on the determination of the promoted replay combination. There is also a case where a transition to high-definition RT2 game is made due to a rush-in prize based. When this ART flag is not provided, even if the rush replay combination is determined, the rip navigator effect that notifies the rushing push order is not performed, or even if the fall replay combination is determined, the lip navigation that notifies the normal push order Since the performance is not performed, it becomes a situation in which the transition to the low probability RT game is effectively generated. In addition, when there is no ART flag, the count navigation effect is not performed even if the normal replay combination for counting is determined, and therefore the transition to the high-precision RT2 game is made by the rush-in prize based on the determination of the rush-in replay role. Even if this happens, the output of the ART signal can be effectively suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the number of times of entering the ART mode based on the transition to the high probability RT2 game is erroneously counted.

  (2) In the case of a high-precision RT2 game after the transition from the absence of the ART flag, there may be a normal winning based on a specific pressing order of the normal counting replay role even if the count navigation effect is not performed. Therefore, there is no ART flag by permitting the output of the ART signal on condition that a plurality of normal winnings (in this embodiment, “5 times”) based on a specific pressing order of the counting normal replay combination are allowed. It is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the output of the ART signal is allowed during the high-accuracy RT2 game after the transition from.

  (3) Regarding the normal replay combination for counting, it is possible to give the same award (replay) with the same display result (replay stop eye) regardless of whether or not it coincides with the stop operation in a specific push order. It is possible to control whether or not to output the ART signal with a configuration that minimizes the influence on the game when allowing the output of the ART signal. That is, as a result of minimizing the influence on the game, it is possible to control whether or not to output the ART signal without affecting the profit of the player.

  (4) When the normal replay combination for counting is determined, if the ART signal is not output, a specific pressing order stop operation is notified, while if the ART signal is already output, a specific operation is performed. It was set as the structure which does not alert | report push order. Thus, since the ART signal is not output, in a situation where the ART signal is to be output, the player can be allowed to advance the game so as to effectively encourage the occurrence of a situation that allows the output of the ART signal. become. Further, in a situation where the ART signal should not be output because the ART signal has already been output, it is possible to cause the player to advance the game so as to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation allowing the output of the ART signal. It becomes like this. That is, as a result of causing the player to advance the game according to the situation, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the number of times of entering the ART mode based on the transition to the highly reliable RT2 game is counted repeatedly.

  (5) When the normal replay combination for counting is determined, a stop operation different from the stop operation in a specific pushing order may be notified if the ART signal has already been output. As a result, in a situation where the ART signal should not be output since the ART signal has already been output, it is possible to more effectively suppress the normal winning based on the specific pressing order of the counting normal replay combination.

  (6) By making the entry replay combination with the normal replay combination, if there is an ART flag, even if the player makes a mistake in the order of the push, if it matches the normal push order leading to the normal winning The transition (falling) to the low probability RT game is relieved. For this reason, it is possible to relieve a player who is accompanied by a Lip navigator effect in a high-definition RT1 game but has made a mistake in the pressing order.

  (7) During the high-definition RT2 game, that is, in the ART mode, a situation is created in which a Lip navigator effect for avoiding a drop-in prize is performed. For this reason, creating a situation where the high-definition RT1 game, that is, not only during the rush from the preparation mode to the ART mode, but also during the ART mode can be performed (prone frequently) is performed, eliminating the sense of discomfort in the production. can do.

  (8) Since the ART output count has reached the previous number of times (in this embodiment, “4”), the ART output count is set to the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, “5” in the determination of the next normal replay for counting). ]), The main control CPU 40a gives an instruction to that effect to the sub control CPU 41a that controls the Lip Navi effect. As a result, the sub-control CPU 41a can effectively control whether or not to execute the Lip Navi effect according to whether the ART output count has reached the previous number of times and the output status of the ART signal. Further, by setting the number of times instructed to the sub-control CPU 41a to the number just before the predetermined number of times, it is possible to contribute to the reduction of extra processing particularly in the situation where the ART signal has already been output.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Note that, in the embodiments described below, the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions thereof are omitted or simplified.

First, a combination of symbols (stop result) that can be displayed in a stop on the winning line based on the winning combination determined in the present embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, the replay stop eye can win a prize by determining one of 13 types of “normal replay role 7” to “normal replay role 18” and “normal replay role (unquestioned)” as a winning combination (can be stopped and displayed) ). In the following description, “normal replay combination” means “normal replay combination 7” to “normal replay combination 18” and “normal replay combination (unquestioned)”.

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role in the present embodiment is the overlap of the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the high probability RT2 game (winning role determination table T3), the fall replay role, and the normal replay role. Each winning probability of the winning information group associated with winning is defined. In addition, the relationship of overlap winning of these replay roles is that the fall replay role 1 and the normal replay role 7 associated with the fall replay group 1, the fall replay role 2 and the normal replay role 8 associated with the fall replay group 2, and the fall replay. The winning combination of the fall replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 9 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate. In addition, the relationship of the winning combination of the replay roles is that each of the fall replay role 4 and the normal replay role 10 associated with the fall replay group 4 and the fall replay role 5 and the normal replay role 11 associated with the fall replay group 5. Duplicate winning combination.

  As shown in FIG. 13, during the ART mode of the present embodiment, since the gaming state is a highly probable RT2 game, the replay role is a normal replay role (unquestioned), a fall replay role, that is, a normal replay role win and Winning is instructed. In such ART mode, using the normal push order leading to the normal winning of the fall replay role, the ART signal output control related to the output of the ART signal described later is performed by the cooperation of the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a. Done.

Hereinafter, the flow of processing until the main control CPU 40a in the present embodiment outputs the ART signal will be described focusing on the situation from the high-definition RT1 game.
When the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role and becomes the normal push order during the high-precision RT2 game from the occurrence of the rush prize, the main control CPU 40a indicates the number of mismatches indicating the number of occurrences of the normal win from the normal push order. "1" is added to the ART output count. Note that the main control CPU 40a adds “1” to the ART output count when there is a third stop operation that is the last stop operation of the winning variable game of the fall replay role.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay combination and allows the output of the ART signal as the specific condition is satisfied on condition that the predetermined number of times (5 times) of the normal winnings based on the normal pressing order is generated. To occur. When the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal, the main control CPU 40a sets [1] to the main management flag indicating that the ART signal has been output to a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. [0 (zero)] is set in the main management flag in response to the transition to the game. The main control CPU 40a adds (counts) the ART output count while [0] is set in the main management flag, while the ART output is output while [1] is set in the main management flag. Do not add counts. That is, the main control CPU 40a does not add the ART output count even if a normal winning based on the normal push order of the fall replay role occurs while [1] is set in the main management flag.

  In the following description, in the situation where the ART signal has already been output, the main management flag of the main control RAM 40c may be [1]. Further, when the ART signal is not output, the main management flag of the main control RAM 40c may be [0].

  Thus, in this embodiment, during the control of the high-precision RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a does not interpose the fall order of the fall replay role, and the normal push order of the fall replay role is multiple times ( In the present embodiment, the output of the ART signal is started with the occurrence of 5 times). Further, regarding the ART output count, the main control CPU 40a allows the winning of a bell combination or the like (including a normal replay combination (unquestioned)) or winning, and continuously holds the ART output count.

  Then, in the scene where the ART signal is to be output, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the fall replay role, the variation for which the count navigation effect is targeted with the content informing the normal push order leading to the normal winning. Let it happen with the start of the game. Thereby, the sub control CPU 41a assists the main control CPU 40a to appropriately output the ART signal.

  That is, if the ART signal is not output after the transition to the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to play the fall replay role and is informed of the normal push order leading to the normal win (hereinafter referred to as a lip navigation effect). , Referred to as “count navigation production”) with the start of the target variable game. Thereby, the sub-control CPU 41a assists the generation of the normal winning based on the normal pushing order of the fall replay combination.

  As a result, the ART signal is output in the flow shown in FIG. FIG. 14 (a) shows a case where the ART flag shifts to the ART mode after the entry prize has occurred with the ART flag. In other words, after the entry prize is generated, the main control CPU 40a counts the ART output by winning the fall replay role and taking the normal prize based on the normal push order (fall replay group win + normal push order → normal prize). Is incremented by “1” (count + 1). In this case, when winning the fall replay role, it will be accompanied by a count navigation effect (there is a count navigation effect).

  For this reason, the normal pushing order leading to the normal winning is notified and the player follows the count navigation effect, so that the normal winning occurs, and the ART output count is added by the main control CPU 40a. Subsequently, when the ART output count reaches “5” (count = 5), the main control CPU 40a starts outputting the ART signal (ART signal output).

  Further, in a scene where the ART signal should not be output, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the fall replay role, performs the count navigation effect while the ART signal has already been output. If [1] is set in the management flag, the main output CPU 40a does not add the ART output count. Thereby, the sub control CPU 41a performs control so that the main control CPU 40a can avoid the output of the ART signal. Even if the ART signal has been output, if the main management flag is set to [0], the main control CPU 40a adds the ART output count. As such a scene, during the ART mode, the player is involved in a transition to a low probability RT game based on the occurrence of a drop-in prize or a bell spill due to an incorrect pressing order, and such a low probability RT Depending on the transition to the game, [0] is set in the main management flag.

  When the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the count navigation effect (rep navi effect) to be performed for each winning of the fall replay role regardless of whether the ART signal has been output after the transition to the ART mode. . For this reason, in this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a (sub-control RAM 41c) does not need to grasp the state of whether or not the ART signal has been output, and does not have the configuration of the output flag. Good. On the other hand, if the main management flag is set to [1] after shifting to the ART mode, the addition of the ART output count is avoided.

  Further, in the case of ART signal output restriction, the sub-control CPU 41a makes it easy to avoid the addition of the ART output count by not performing the count navigation effect (repnavi effect) for each winning of the fall replay combination. In the situation where the ART signal output is restricted, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the Lip Navi effect for each winning of the fall replay role, and does not perform the Bel Navi effect for each winning of the Bell role, thereby improving the gaming state. While avoiding the continuation of the RT2 game, the transition of the gaming state to the low probability RT game is promoted.

  As a result, the output of the ART signal is avoided in the flow shown in FIG. FIG. 14 (b) shows a case where the production state has already shifted to the ART mode with the ART flag. In this case, when winning the fall replay role, it will be accompanied by a count navigation effect (there is a count navigation effect). On the other hand, if the main management flag is set to [1] because the ART flag is present, the ART output count is not added by the main control CPU 40a, so the output of the ART signal is also avoided (falling replay group winning + normal (Push order for count → count content maintenance). Accordingly, since the ART output count does not reach “5”, the output of the ART signal is avoided by the main control CPU 40a (ART signal output avoidance).

  As a result of such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, in this embodiment, after the promotion winning prize, and after the rushing prize from the high-definition RT1 game, it is further used for a normal fall replay role. The main control CPU 40a outputs the ART signal when the five normal winnings based on the pressing order are made, and thereafter, the output of the ART signal is avoided again. In FIGS. 15A and 15B, “main management flag” means the setting contents of the main management flag.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the ART signal is not output unless there is a normal winning of 5 times based on the normal push order of the fall replay role after the transition to the high-probability RT2 game. For this reason, it is possible to control whether or not to output the ART signal by adjusting the degree of establishment of the five normal winnings based on the normal pushing order of the falling replay combination after the transition to the high-precision RT2 game.

  For example, as shown when the ART signal is output in FIG. 15 (a), in a scene where a variable game is played during the highly accurate RT1 game in the preparation mode through the normal mode (standby), the rush replay group is entered in the first variable game. The rush replay combination 4 associated with 4 is determined, and a rip navigator effect is provided to notify the push order [right / left middle] for rush. As a result, as a result of the entry prize, a transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game is made, and the “RT state” is also set to “2” in the subsequent variable games. In this case, the ART output count is “0” and the ART signal is not output, and the ART output count is once reset to “0” in response to the third stop.

  Subsequently, the fall replay combination 1 associated with the fall replay group 1 is determined in the second variation game, and a count navigation effect is provided to notify the normal push order [left middle right]. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the normal pushing order of the fall replay combination, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “1” with the third stop. The second variation game is started in a situation in which the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, so that the count navigation effect is performed. In this case, the “mode” becomes the start of the ART mode (ART start) since it is the first time after the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game.

  Subsequently, as a result of passing through the third and fourth variation games, the ART output count is set to “+2”, and after the ART output count is set to “3”, it is associated with the fall replay group 5 in the fifth variation game. The fall replay combination 5 is determined, and a count navigation effect for notifying the normal push order [right middle left] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the normal pushing order of the fall replay combination, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “4” with the third stop. Since the fifth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, the count navigation effect is performed.

  Subsequently, the fall replay combination 3 associated with the fall replay group 3 is determined in the sixth variation game, and a count navigation effect for notifying the normal pushing order [middle right left] is performed. As a result, as a result of the normal winning from the normal pushing order of the fall replay combination, the ART output count is incremented by “+1” to “5” with the third stop. Since the sixth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal is not output and the ART signal is to be output, the count navigation effect is performed. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ART signal to the data counter DC or the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 42 ("ON"). Further, as a result of the ART signal being output, the main management flag stored in the main control RAM 40c is set to [1] upon the third stop, and the output already stored in the sub control RAM 41c The flag is set to [1].

  In the seventh variation game, the ART output is reset to “0” by the output of the ART signal, and the ART signal has already been output. In addition, the normal replay role (unquestioned) is determined in the seventh variation game, and the Lip Navi effect is not performed. Further, during the seventh variation game, the main control CPU 40a continues to output the ART signal to the data counter DC or the hall computer HC via the external terminal board 42, but triggered by the third stop. The output of the ART signal is ended (stopped) (becomes “OFF”). As a result, the data counter DC or the hall computer HC inputs the ART signal via the external terminal board 42, thereby counting (counting up) the number of times of entering the ART mode.

  Further, in this embodiment, when winning the fall replay combination, regardless of whether or not the ART signal should be output, the normal push order is notified while in the ART mode, while the ART signal If the normal push order is notified, the ART output count is not added.

  As a result, in a situation where an ART signal is to be output, an ART output count based on the normal winning from the normal pushing order can be effectively added. On the other hand, in a situation where the ART signal should not be output, the addition of the ART output count based on the normal winning from the normal pushing order can be effectively suppressed.

  In addition, the situation where the ART signal should be output is that the ART signal is output on the condition that multiple occurrences (five times) of the normal winnings based on the normal push order of the fall replay role are performed. The occurrence of a situation in which an ART signal is output even if a normal winning based on the normal pushing order of the tumble replay combination occurs is reduced.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15B when the ART signal output is avoided, the fall replay combination 3 associated with the fall replay group 3 is determined in the eighth variation game continued from FIG. Production (Rep Navi production) is performed. This eighth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has already been output, but a count navigation effect (rep navi effect) is performed. In the eighth variation game, if the main management flag stored in the main control RAM 40c is [1], the ART output count is not added even if the normal winning based on the normal pressing order occurs.

  Subsequently, as a result of passing through the ninth to thirteenth variation games in which the ART output count is not added, the ART output count is maintained at “0”, and then associated with the fall replay group 2 in the fourteenth variation game. The fall replay combination 2 is determined. Even if a normal winning based on the normal pressing order occurs in the fourteenth variation game, the ART output count is not added. The fourteenth variation game is started in a situation where the ART signal has been output and the ART signal should not be output, but a count navigation effect (a lip navigation effect) is performed.

Subsequently, the normal replay role (unquestioned) is determined in the fifteenth variation game, and the Lip Navi effect is not performed.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (6) and (7) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (9) During high-accuracy RT2 game, after transition from the presence of the ART flag, until the ART signal is output, normal winning based on the normal push order of the fall replay role is encouraged to allow the output of the ART signal. A situation arises. On the other hand, even when there is no ART flag that is not expected to shift to the high-reliability RT2 game, there is a case where a transition to the high-reliability RT1 game is made by a promotion prize based on the determination of the promoted replay combination. There is also a case where a transition to high-definition RT2 game is made due to a rush-in prize based. When this ART flag is not provided, even if the rush replay combination is determined, the rip navigator effect that notifies the rushing push order is not performed, or even if the fall replay combination is determined, the lip navigation that notifies the normal push order Since the performance is not performed, it becomes a situation in which the transition to the low probability RT game is effectively generated. In addition, when there is no ART flag, even if the fall replay combination is determined, the count navigation effect is not performed, so that the transition to the high-definition RT2 game has been made due to the entry prize based on the decision of the entry replay combination. Also, the output of the ART signal can be effectively suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the number of times of entering the ART mode based on the transition to the high probability RT2 game is erroneously counted.

  (10) In the case of the high-precision RT2 game after the transition from the absence of the ART flag, there may be a case where a normal winning based on the normal push order of the fall replay role is performed even if the count navigation effect is not performed. Therefore, by allowing the output of the ART signal on condition that a plurality of normal winnings (in this embodiment, “5 times”) based on the normal pushing order of the fall replay combination are allowed, the ART flag can be output. It is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the output of the ART signal is allowed during the high-precision RT2 game after the transition.

  (11) When the fall replay combination is determined, if the ART signal is not output, the normal push order stop operation is notified, while if the ART signal is already output, the ART output count Is not counted (not added). Thus, since the ART signal is not output, in a situation where the ART signal is to be output, the player can be allowed to advance the game so as to effectively encourage the occurrence of a situation that allows the output of the ART signal. become. Further, in a situation where the ART signal should not be output because the ART signal has already been output, it is possible to cause the player to advance the game so as to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation allowing the output of the ART signal. It becomes like this. That is, as a result of causing the player to advance the game according to the situation, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the number of times of entering the ART mode based on the transition to the highly reliable RT2 game is counted repeatedly.

  (12) During a high-definition RT2 game, a normal replay role (unquestioned) can also be won, so that a scene without a Lip Navi effect can be created. As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of scenes where the player has to perform stop operations along various navigation effects, and as a result, the player's feeling of tension can be eased.

Each embodiment may be changed as follows.
In the first embodiment, it is not necessary to output the ART output standby command. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a also stores information in place of the ART output count, which is the same as in each embodiment. Can have an effect.

  In the first embodiment, the output timing of the ART output standby command may be output when the ART output count is less than “4”. This further contributes to the realization of the avoidance of the output of the ART signal. It is also possible to output an ART output standby command over a plurality of times such as when the ART output count is “3” or “4”.

  In the first embodiment, when the ART output count is “4”, a specific push order is notified instead of the count gaze navigation effect, and in addition to this, “caution” or the like is displayed as an image, which is different from navigation. It is also possible to prompt the player to perform a stop operation. In addition, even if the ART output count becomes “4”, it is possible not to perform not only the count gasase navigation effect but also the Lip navigation effect itself.

  -In 1st Embodiment, the structure of an output completion flag does not need to be provided, but should just be provided with the structure of the ART output standby command at least. In a situation where the ART signal has already been output, the count navigation effect may be performed until the ART output standby command is input.

In the first embodiment, the value of the ART output count leading to the output of the ART signal may be changed.
-In 1st Embodiment, the stop eyes (combination of symbols) derived | led-out by a specific pressing order and a non-specific pressing order regarding a normal replay combination can also be varied.

  -In 1st Embodiment, the prize provided by a specific push order and a non-specific push order regarding a normal replay combination can also be varied. For example, regarding the normal replay combination, the high-probability RT2 game may be continued in a specific push order, while the high-reliability RT1 game may be transferred in a non-specific push order.

  In the first embodiment, information corresponding to the ART output count stored in the main control RAM 40c may be managed in the sub control RAM 41c. Depending on this, the configuration of the ART output standby command becomes unnecessary. Further, when the ART signal has already been output, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the count navigation effect four times and then performs the count gasase navigation effect when the next normal count replay role is selected. The configuration is no longer necessary.

  -In the first embodiment, in the case of ART signal output restriction, the next count after the scene where the player's stop operation at the time of winning the normal replay role for counting is in a specific pushing order has been accidentally continued four times. A count gasase navigator effect may be accompanied when winning the normal replay role. Further, in the present embodiment, in the case of ART signal output restriction, a Lip navigator effect that prompts a drop-in / out prize for each winning of the fall-down replay role may be accompanied.

  -In 1st Embodiment, you may employ | adopt the structure which is not won by the fall replay combination 1-5 during a high probability RT1 game and a high probability RT2 game. However, with respect to the rush replay combination in the high-definition RT1 game, a configuration in which the winning combination with the fall replay combination is preferred.

-In 2nd Embodiment, the stop eye different from a replay stop eye may be stopped and displayed by the normal winning based on the order for the normal pushing of a fall-down winning.
-In 2nd Embodiment, the structure of the output completion flag does not need to be provided.

In each embodiment, the normal replay combination (unquestioned) does not have to be set as the winning combination.
-In each embodiment, a fall replay role can also be made to be able to win a duplicate regarding a promotion replay group. In this case, it is not necessary to set the fall replay group.

  In each embodiment, the rush replay combination may not be configured to win the normal replay combination. In addition, the rush replay combination may not be configured to win the fall replay combination. Even in this case, if the fall replay combination 1 to 5 is set, it is possible to effectively shift (fall) to the low probability RT game even after the transition to the unpredictable RT2 game.

  In each embodiment, the number of types of various replay groups may be changed. For example, the fall replay group 1 may be four types not set as the fall replay group. When the fall replay group 1 is not set, if a stop operation is performed from the stop button 23L, it is always possible to make a fall prize when winning the fall replay combination.

  In each embodiment, the ART signal may be output in response to one occurrence of the normal winning based on the pressing order of the stop operation. On the other hand, by setting the number of occurrences of such normal winnings to 4 or more, it is possible to make it difficult to output the ART signal in a scene where the transition to the high-precision RT2 game is not assumed.

  In each embodiment, a penalty may be given to a player depending on bell spillage in the ART mode. As such a penalty, during a predetermined number of times of the variable game, it is possible not to assist the promotion prize, the entry prize, the avoidance of the falling prize, etc. in addition to the bell prize. Such a penalty during the ART mode leads to the interruption of the ART mode, and during this time, even after returning from the penalty to the ART mode, the setting contents of the flags related to the output of the ART signal (output completed flag and main management flag) are set. By continuing to hold, it is possible to avoid the output of the ART signal when restarting the ART mode from the penalty. Further, before the ART mode penalty occurs, if the ART signal is not output, the ART signal is appropriately output after returning to the highly accurate RT2 game based on the restart of the ART mode.

  In each embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a may output the ART signal. In this case, part or all of the contents managed by the main control CPU 40a regarding the output of the ART signal may be managed by the sub control CPU 41a.

  -In each embodiment, when falling to the low probability RT game based on the drop-in prize or bell spilling during the ART mode, the ART mode may be regarded as the end and the number of rushes may be counted (added). In other words, the triggered flag or bell spilling during the ART mode sets the output flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c to the content indicating that the ART signal is not output.

  -In each embodiment, when there is no ART flag, since the low-probability RT game is in progress, when winning the promoted replay role, it is a normal push order, and a lip navigator effect that informs the push order leading to the normal winning You may make it perform. Further, when there is no ART flag, since a highly reliable RT1 game is in progress, when winning a fall replay role, a Lip navigator effect that informs of the push order for fall may be performed. In addition, when there is no ART flag, since a high-probability RT1 game is being performed, when winning a rush replay role, a normal navigating order that informs the pushing order leading to the normal winning is performed. May be.

  In each embodiment, a winning combination with payout of award medals can be defined as a maintenance trigger or a normal transition trigger that is a condition for outputting an ART signal. In this case, it is possible to make a specification such that the award medals are paid out in the correct push order while the award medals are not paid out in the incorrect push order. For example, the output of the ART signal may be based on the occurrence of a bell winning.

  In each embodiment, the specification may be such that the ART signal is continuously output while it can correspond to the ART mode. In this case, as a result of the continuous output in the scene where the ART mode is continued for production, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation where the number of rushes is counted repeatedly. In this case, it is possible to effectively control the output of the ART signal by setting the same condition as the start of stopping the output of the ART signal.

  -In each embodiment, the specification which outputs over two fluctuation games from the start of the output of an ART signal may be sufficient. Thereby, it can be used not only for the data counter DC and the hall computer HC but also for notifying the player.

-In each embodiment, the period which controls to ART mode can also be defined with time.
-In each embodiment, you may change the specification of the production | presentation state transfer until the rush of ART mode. For example, on the condition that a predetermined number of fluctuating games in the normal mode have passed, a state in which the transition to the preparation mode is allowed and the transition to the ART mode is allowed occurs, and the transition to the ART mode is triggered by the subsequent entry prize. Good. The specification of the ART mode can also be realized by a stock type that manages the ART mode in units of sets.

  -In each embodiment, it is also possible to control the ART mode from the transition of the high-accuracy RT1 game. That is, the ART signal may be output after the transition to the high-accuracy RT2 game after the transition to the ART mode.

  -In each embodiment, the advantageous game state should just be advantageous for a player, for example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other game states. In this case, in the advantageous gaming state, it is possible for the player to be advantageous if the specification allows the bell navigation effect to be performed. In addition, in the high probability RT1 game and the high probability RT2 game, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be made almost unchanged (same).

In each embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
In each embodiment, the effect state is notified to the player by the light emission effect of the lamp R, a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided, and these are turned on to notify the player of the effect state, or the speaker SP The player may be notified of the effect state by voice effect. In this case, various effects such as navigation may be performed by the lamp R or the speaker SP.

  -In each embodiment, you may make it the timing which operates a stop button as an element which can change the stop eyes in a replay role or a bell role. In this case, the specification which aims at the specific part (design) in each reel (one or all) can be considered. And in various navigation effects, the timing (a specific part (symbol)) which operates a stop button is notified.

In each embodiment, a bonus game such as a big bonus or a regular bonus may be provided.
Each embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from each embodiment and another example will be added below.
