  The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output with respect to the outside. The main control unit 41 includes, as the serial communication circuit 512, a 1-channel circuit for both transmission and reception and a 3-channel circuit for transmission only.

  The address decoding circuit 514 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 41a.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for effect control. 51, a display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on or from the sub CPU 91a The reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a predetermined time, the switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, and date information Clock device 97 for outputting time information including time information, and slot A power interruption detection circuit 98 that monitors a power supply voltage supplied to the thin 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 91a when a voltage drop is detected, and other circuits are mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing the effects, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. Control.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

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

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

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), a register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored in the RAM 41c. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c becomes 0, and stored in the RAM 41c. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state during a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  The sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and if it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, Disconnection processing (sub) is executed. In the power interruption process (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c, which will be described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and also based on data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and On the condition that the value of the destructive diagnosis data is also correct, the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c. If the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power supply even in the event of a power failure, and the sub-control unit 91 determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, but only the data required to return to the control state during a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 91c and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted.

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

  The important work is a work in which data such as various display devices and LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counter, etc., which are inconvenient to be initialized are stored. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 41c when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, when the BB ends, or when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, there are general work, unused area, and unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, that is, areas from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the prescribed number of bets that can be set is determined according to the gaming state (RT0 to 5, RB, BB (RB)), and determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on condition that the specified number of bets is set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, it is determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state and RT type, the number of bets and the set value. It is performed according to the number of judgment values for each combination.

  In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined in accordance with the role that is the subject of the internal lottery, the current gaming state, the current RT type and the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (the lottery work When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  In the internal lottery of the present embodiment, the number of determination values of the lottery object combination is sequentially added to the internal lottery random value, and when the addition result overflows, it is determined that the combination is won. However, the number of determination values of the lottery target combination may be sequentially subtracted from the internal lottery random value, and when the result of the subtraction overflows, it may be determined that the combination is won.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of determination values, which is the number of determination values determined to be winning, is determined for each lottery target role, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target role. In the case of overflow, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values is determined. However, for each lottery target role, a range of random values determined to be winning is determined, and the range to which the random value belongs It is good also as a structure which determines the winning of the role to perform.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

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

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

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

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

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

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

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

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

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

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

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that is not performed is stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning small role is the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line. The number of sliding frames is fixed so that it can be drawn to the limit, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn in the range of up to 4 frames in the winning line, the winning special role is in the range of 4 frames in the winning line Then, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop this, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn in, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special player and a replaying player are elected at the same time, such as when a replaying player is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, In addition, a control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time point is equal to or longer than a predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, At that time, the reels in the game are started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses. The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

  In this embodiment, if a predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the progress of the game is regulated until the predetermined regulation time has elapsed, so that one game The configuration is such that the progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time. If the game time is counted from one timing other than the start of reel rotation in one game (for example, at the end of the game), and a predetermined regulation time has passed by the same one timing in the next game While the game is allowed to proceed, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed before the same timing in the next game, the game does not proceed and the predetermined regulation time elapses To wait, that it allows progressive game when a predetermined restriction time period has passed, it may be configured to one game shortest time regulates the progress of the game to a predetermined restriction time or more.

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends to the sub-control unit 91 a number-of-insertion command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel delay command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning number command, a payout Multiple types of commands including start command, payout end command, return command, gaming status command, RT information command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command Send.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The freeze command is a command that can specify whether or not to control the freeze state to be described later in the game, and when controlling to the freeze state, and is transmitted after the internal winning command.

  The reel delay command is a command that can specify the timing at which each reel starts to rotate, the timing at which the reel rotates at a constant speed, and the timing at which the stop operation becomes effective after the reel rendering executed in the freeze state described later. Thereafter, it is transmitted before the rotation of the left reel which starts rotating first.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation in a game that is not controlled in the freeze state, which will be described later, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning. Sent after.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the current game state (in BB, in RB, or replay), and is transmitted when power is restored or when the game ends.

  The RT information command is a command that can specify the gaming state of the next game (any one of RT0 to RT5), and is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted periodically.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) described above. The

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main) and stored in the door command storage area. The door command storage area stores a door command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 at the time of power-on or at the end of one game, and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes, A door command indicating the detection state is stored. Further, the door command stored in the door command storage area is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by a newly stored door command. When the power is turned on or one game is finished, a door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of a door command stored in the door command storage area is set, and whether the door command transmission request 1 is set or whether the door is open is detected. When the detection state of the switch 25 changes, it is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main).

  The operation detection command is generated in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and then the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). And sent.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and changes to the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the betting number setting operation is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the inserted number command indicating that the betting number is set, The production is to be canceled. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or betting amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub-control unit 91 receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, it receives an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received before, the effect being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the winning symbols are aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus may be indicated as BB and the regular bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to set a winning flag in the RAM 507 to win the internal lottery and allow the winning of the winning combination.

  FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the slot machine in the present embodiment is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT5, RB, and BB (RB).

  Referring to FIG. 6, special bonuses among the winning combinations include big bonuses 1 to 4 (hereinafter, each big bonus is referred to as BB), regular bonuses 1 and 2 (hereinafter, each regular bonus is referred to as RB). ) 6 types of bonuses are included.

  BB1 is awarded when the combination of “network 7-network 7-network 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB2 is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on the winning line.

  When winning a prize in either BB1 or BB2, the game shifts to a big bonus that is controlled in every game for the regular bonus during BB (hereinafter referred to as BBRB).

  The big bonus generated due to the winning of either BB1 or BB2 ends on condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out.

  RB1 wins when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on the pay line. RB2 is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line.

  When winning one of RB1 and RB2, a transition is made to a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB).

  The regular bonus generated due to the winning of either RB1 or RB2 ends on the condition that any winning combination has won 6 times or 12 games have been consumed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, it is controlled to RT4 from the internal winning of either BB1 or RB2 until winning, and is controlled to RT5 from the internal winning of either BB2 or RB1 to winning. The Also, as shown in FIG. 10, after the big bonus or regular bonus (collectively referred to as a bonus) is completed, the control is performed to RT3.

  Even if one of BB1, BB2, RB1, and RB2 is won in the internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to be able to win these roles, these I won't win a role. The symbols that make up BB1, BB2, RB1, and RB2 ("Black 7" and "White 7" on the left and middle reels, "Black 7", "White 7", and "Net 7" on the right reel) are respectively This is because the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are not arranged within 5 frames.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the small combination includes a middle bell, a right falling bell, an upper bell 1 to 8, a lower cherry, a single winning combination 1, a single winning combination 2, and a rising right bell.

  The middle bell is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN, and eight medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bells are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a middle bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  A downward-sloping bell is when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is aligned on the winning line LN. Wins and 8 medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L are arranged at a position one below the bell, and the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged at a position one above the bell. Therefore, when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is prepared, “Bell-Bell-Bell” ”Are lowered to the right, that is, aligned with the invalid line LM3.

  Further, either the plum or the replay is arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L and the right reel 2R, and the bell is arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel 2C. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a right-down bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Next, the upper bells 1 to 8 will be described. The upper bell 1 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 2 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 3 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 4 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 5 is awarded when a combination of “plum-orange-orange” is arranged on the winning line LN. The upper bell 6 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 7 is awarded when a combination of “Plum-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 8 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L, the BAR and orange of the middle reel, and the BAR and orange of the right reel 2R are arranged at positions one level below the bell. “Orange-Orange”, “Replay-Orange-BAR”, “Replay-BAR-Orange”, “Replay-BAR-BAR”, “Plum-Orange-Orange”, “Plum-Orange-BAR”, “Plum-BAR-” When any combination of “Orange” and “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned, the “Bell-Bell-Bell” combination is aligned to the upper stage, that is, the invalid line LM1.

  In the left reel 2L, replays and plums are not arranged within 5 frames, and orange and BAR are not arranged within 5 frames for each of the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Therefore, even if one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won in the internal lottery to be described later, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the winning upper bell configuration symbols must be operated at an appropriate timing. For example, you won't win the winning top bell.

  The lower cherries are awarded when the combination of “BAR-Orange-ANY (ANY can be any symbol)”, “BAR-BAR-ANY”, “BAR-Bell-ANY” on the winning line LN. . When the lower cherries win, two medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, since the BAR of the left reel 2L is arranged one position above the cherry, “BAR-orange-ANY (ANY can be any symbol)”, “BAR- When any combination of “BAR-ANY” and “BAR-Bell-ANY” is prepared, “Cherry” on the left reel stops at the lower stage, and the combination of “Cherry-ANY-ANY” moves up and down to the right, That is, they are aligned with the invalid lines LM2 and LM4.

  In the middle reel 2C, any one of orange, BAR, and bell is arranged within 5 frames, but in the left reel 2L, BAR is not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if the lower cherries are won in an internal lottery to be described later, the lower cherries will not be won if the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel 2L is not operated at an appropriate timing.

  The single winning combination 1 wins when the combination of “black 7-cherry-net 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. When one winning combination wins, one medal is paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the black 7 of the left reel 2L, the cherry of the middle reel, and the net 7 of the right reel are not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if the winning combination 1 is won in the internal lottery described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are not operated at an appropriate timing, You won't win a single 1st prize.

  The single winning combination 2 is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Cherry-Black 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. When one winning combination wins, one medal is paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the black 7 of the left reel 2L, the cherry of the middle reel, and the black 7 of the right reel are not arranged within five frames. For this reason, even if the winning combination 1 is won in the internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are not operated at an appropriate timing, You won't win a single 2nd prize.

  The bells that go up to the right are "Black 7-Bell-Orange", "White 7-Bell-Orange", "Watermelon Bell-Orange", "Black 7-Bell-BAR", and "White 7-Bell-" on the winning line LN. When any combination of “BAR” and “Watermelon Bell-BAR” is completed, a prize is awarded and 10 medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, black 7, white 7 and watermelon of the left reel 2L are arranged one position above the bell, and orange and BAR of the right reel 2R are one position below the bell. "Black 7-Bell-Orange", "White 7-Bell-Orange", "Watermelon Bell-Orange", "Black 7-Bell-BAR", "White 7-Bell-BAR" When any combination of “watermelon-bell-BAR” is aligned, the combination of “bell-bell-bell” goes up to the right, that is, aligns with the invalid line LM4.

  In the left reel 2L, one of black 7, white 7, and watermelon is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, orange, BAR One of these is arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a right-up bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the re-game player among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the replaying role includes normal replay, lower replay, falling replay, promotion replays 1 and 2, and special replay.

  The normal replay is awarded when a combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay”, “Replay-Replay-Plum”, “Plum-Replay-Replay”, and “Plum-Replay-Plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. Replays and plums are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. Therefore, as a general rule, it can be said that the normal replay is a role that can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if the winning is made.

  The lower replay includes “Bell-Orange-Orange”, “Belle-Orange-Cherry”, “Belle-Orange-Watermelon”, “Belle-Orange-Black 7”, “Belle-Orange-Net 7”, "Bell-Orange-White 7", "Bell-BAR-Orange", "Bell-BAR-Cherry", "Bell-BAR-Watermelon", "Bell-BAR-Black 7", "Bell-BAR-Net 7" , “BELL-BAR-WHITE 7” combination is awarded.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is arranged at a position one above the replay or plum, and the orange and BAR of the middle reel 2C are arranged at a position one above the replay. "Bell-orange-orange", "bell-orange-cherry", "bell-orange-watermelon", "bell-orange-black 7", "bell-orange-net 7", "bell-orange-" "White 7", "Bell-BAR-Orange", "Bell-BAR-Cherry", "Bell-BAR-Watermelon", "Bell-BAR-Black 7", "Bell-BAR-Net 7", "Bell-BAR" When any combination of “White 7” is prepared, “Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / Net 7 / White 7”, “Replay-Plum-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Chi Lee / Net 7 / White 7 ”,“ Plum-Replay-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / Net 7 / White 7 ”,“ Plum-Plum-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / The combination of “net 7 / white 7” is aligned at the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2.

  Further, in the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, orange and BAR are arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, orange, cherry, watermelon, black 7, net 7 , One of white 7 is arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the lower stage replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that the prize can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The tumble replay is awarded when the combination of “bell-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN.

  Referring now to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is located one position above the replay or plum, and the bell of the right reel 2R is located one position below the replay. So, when the combination of “bell-replay-bell” is complete, the combination of “replay-replay-replay”, “replay-replay-plum”, “plum-replay-replay”, “plum-replay-plum” goes up to the right. That is, they are aligned with the invalid line LM4.

  In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, the bell is arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a fall replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a prize can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 10, after winning the fall replay at RT0, it is controlled to RT1.

  The promotion replay 1 is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-bell” and “plum-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, the bell is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, it can be said that, as a general rule, the promotion replay 1 can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if it is won.

  Promotion Replay 2 is when any combination of “Bell-Orange-Replay”, “Bell-Orange-Plum”, “Bell-BAR-Replay”, and “Bell-BAR-Plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. Winning a prize.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is arranged at a position one above the replay or plum, and the orange and BAR of the middle reel 2C are arranged at a position one above the replay. Since the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged one position above the bell, “bell-orange-replay”, “bell-orange-plum”, “bell-BAR-replay”, “ When the combination of “bell-BAR-plum” is arranged, the combination of “replay-replay-bell” and “plum-replay-bell” is arranged in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2.

  In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, orange and BAR are arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, replay and plum are arranged within 5 frames. ing. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the promotion replay 2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 10, after winning a promotion replay (promotion replay 1 or promotion replay 2) at RT1, it is controlled to RT0. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set so as not to be won by itself in the internal lottery in RT2 and RT3. Further, when the special combination and the promotion replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in RT2 and RT3, RT4 or RT5 is controlled at that time. For this reason, RT2 and RT3 do not win a promotion replay. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT2 and RT3 to RT0, and it is configured to receive a promotion replay prize only when RT1 and to be controlled to RT0 only from RT1.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” and “bell-replay-plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, as a general rule, special replays can be said to be a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if they are elected.

  As shown in FIG. 10, after winning a special replay at RT0, control is performed at RT2. As will be described later, the special replay is set not to win by itself in the internal lottery at RT1 and RT3. Further, when the special combination and special replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery at RT1 and RT3, RT4 or RT5 is controlled at that time. For this reason, the special replay is not won at RT1 and RT3. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT1 and RT3 to RT2, and special replay is awarded only when RT0, and is configured to be controlled by RT2 only from RT0.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the transition items are “Replay-Orange-Bell”, “Replay-BAR-Bell”, “Plum-Orange-Bell”, “Plum-BAR-Bell”, “Replay-Bell-Orange”. ”,“ Replay-Bell-BAR ”,“ Plum-Bell-Orange ”,“ Plum-Bell-BAR ”,“ Black 7-Orange-Orange ”,“ Black 7-Orange-BAR ”,“ Black 7-BAR- ” "Orange", "Black 7-BAR-BAR", "White 7-Orange-Orange", "White 7-Orange-BAR", "White 7-BAR-Orange", "White 7-BAR-BAR", "Watermelon -Orange-orange "," Watermelon-orange-BAR "," Watermelon-BAR-orange "," Watermelon-BAR-BAR ". In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which become the winning conditions for the middle bells are elected. When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 10, after RT0, RT2, and RT3, the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN, control is performed to RT1. Note that RT1 is maintained when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN at RT1.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 12-15, the combination of the lottery object combination read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In the present embodiment, the role to be subject to the internal lottery and its winning are determined depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, RT4, RT5, BB (RB), or RB. Probability is different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is RT0-3, at least one of the re-game player who is the target of the internal lottery and its winning probability differs depending on the type of RT0-3. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 12 to FIG. 15, “+” is written between the winning combinations to indicate that they are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 12 to 14, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  FIG. 12 shows combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 13 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. 14 shows gaming states. A combination of re-playing combinations that are read out as lottery targets is shown. FIG. 15 shows combinations of the combinations that constitute the simultaneous winning combinations shown in FIGS.

Become.

  When RT3, BB1, BB1 + weak cherry, BB1 + strong cherry, BB1 + strongest cherry, BB1 + normal replay, BB1 + fall replay, BB1 + promoted replay, BB1 + special replay, BB2, BB2 + weak cherry, BB2 + strong cherry, BB2 + strongest cherry, BB2 + Normal replay, BB2 + tumble replay, BB2 + promoted replay, BB2 + special replay, RB1, RB1 + weak cherry, RB1 + strong cherry, RB2, RB2 + weak cherry, RB2 + strong cherry, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left Bell 4, Medium Bell 1, Medium Bell 2, Medium Bell 3, Medium Bell 4, Right Bell 1, Right Bell 2, Right Bell 3, Right Bell 4, Weak Cherry, Strong Cherry, and Normal Replay are eligible for internal lottery Become.

  When it is RT4, RT5, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right Bell 3, right bell 4, weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, normal replay, lower stage replay, fall fall replay, promoted replay, and special replay are targeted for internal lottery.

  In the case of BB (RB) or RB, the bell, weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, and right-up bell are subject to internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the weak cherry is the lower cherry alone, the strong cherry is the lower cherry +1 sheet combination 1, and the strongest cherry is the lower cherry +1 sheet combination 1 + 1 sheet combination 2. . At the time of weak cherry winning, strong cherry winning, and strongest cherry winning, all are controlled so that `` cherry '' can be derived to the lower stage of the left reel as described later, but the control contents of the middle reel and right reel are different, From the stop mode of the middle reel and the right reel when the cherry stops at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, it is possible to recognize whether it is a weak cherry, a strong cherry, or a strongest cherry.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells. The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.

  Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  Replay GR11 is tumble replay + special replay, replay GR12 is tumble replay + special replay + normal replay, replay GR13 is tumble replay + special replay + lower replay, and replay GR14 is Tumble replay + special replay + normal replay + lower replay. Replay GR15 is tumble replay + special replay + promotion replay 1.

  The replay GR21 is 7-match replay + 7-mismatch replay + normal replay, and the replay GR22 is 7-mismatch replay + normal replay.

  In RT0-3, the number of decision values for weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, normal replay, fall replay, and promoted replay that can be won simultaneously with any of BB1, BB2, RB1, and RB2 is RT4 and RT5. Are added to the weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, normal replay, tumble replay, and promoted replay, respectively, so that they are read separately from the bonus, weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, normal replay, tumble replay, promoted Each replay is guaranteed to have a fixed winning probability.

  In this way, the target role of the internal lottery varies depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, RT4, 5, BB (RB), or RB, and BB (RB) or RB Then, the internal lottery is performed using the lottery table in which the winning combination probability of the small role is set higher than RT0-5.

  If the gaming state is RT4 or 5, the internal lottery role does not change depending on whether it is RT4 or RT5, but the target game depends on whether it is RT4 or RT5. An internal lottery is performed using lottery tables with different winning probabilities for gamers.

  Also, when the gaming state is RT0-3, depending on whether it is RT0-3, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs, and depending on whether it is RT0-3, the target An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

As shown in FIG. 3, the promotion replay 1, symbol constructing the promotion replay 2 and normal replay, the left reel 2L, center reel 2C, because it is located within five frames in all of the right reel 2R, the stop operation order Accordingly, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR1 to 6 is won in RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/6, and the transition to RT0 Become.

  When the replay GR11 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the control of stopping the combination of the special replays in the winning replay combination in the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When replay GR12 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR13 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR15 (falling replay + special replay + promotion replay 1) is won and pressed right, that is, when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the selected replay players When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the above is aligned with the pay line LN and left-pressed, that is, in the operation mode in which the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, in the operation mode in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN.

As shown in FIG. 3, symbol constructing special replay and tumble replay the left reel 2L, center reel 2C, because it is located within five frames in all of the right reel 2R, depending on the stop operation order, the stop switch Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L to 8R, reel control is performed so that special replay or fall replay is always won.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR11 to 15.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR11 to 15 is elected at RT0 where the replays GR11 to 15 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to RT2. Then, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to RT1.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 17, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the left bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing left. Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the right down bell is always controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the middle bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, the appropriate timing that will be the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Because there are places, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, at an appropriate timing that is the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the control is performed to any one of RT 0 to 5, RB, and BB (RB).

  RT0 is completed when RT1 and RT2 are exhausted when the promotion replay wins at RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won and the stop replay is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins) When to migrate. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT0, RT0 transitions to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transition, or transitions to RT2 by winning a special replay, or a special role is won And it complete | finishes by transfering to RT4 or RT5.

  The winning probability of the special role at RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability of the re-playing role is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (about 1 / 3.5, however, The winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. In RT0, except for the case where a winning combination is made at the same time as the special combination, only the replay GRs 11 to 15 among the re-playing combinations are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT0. Then, RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins and shifts to RT0, or when the special role is won and shifts to RT4 or RT5.

  The winning probability of the special role in RT1 is normal (about 1/239) as in RT0, the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower (normally about 1 / 7.3) than in RT0, and the winning probability of the small role is normal as in RT0 (About 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT1, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 among replaying players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT2 shifts when a special replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when the transition outcome stops and shifts to RT1, or the special combination wins and shifts to RT4 or RT5.

  The winning probabilities for special roles in RT2 are normal (about 1/239) like RT0, the winning probabilities for re-playing players are almost the same as RT0 (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probabilities for small roles are RT0. Similarly, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. In RT2, only the normal replay among the re-games is subject to internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination.

  RT3 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT3, RT3 ends when the transition outcome stops and transitions to RT1, or the special combination wins and transitions to RT4 or RT5.

  The winning probability of the special role in RT3 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability of the re-playing role is usually lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (about 1) /3.5, where the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT3, except for the case where the winning combination is won at the same time as the special combination, only the normal replay among the re-playing combination is subject to the internal lottery.

  RT4 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in RT0-3. RT4 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT4 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT4.

  In RT4, special roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing roles is lower than RT0 and RT2, but higher than RT1 and RT3 (about 1 / 2.5), winning of small roles The probability is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in RT4, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT5 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in RT0-3. RT5 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT5 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB regardless of the number of games after transition to RT5.

  In RT5, the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than RT0, RT2, but higher than RT1, RT3, RT4, high probability (about 1 / 2.0), small role The winning probability is normally (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. In RT5, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins at RT5, RT5. And RB is complete | finished by digesting 12 games or winning 6 times.

  In RB, the special role and replaying role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than RT0-5 and high probability (about 1 / 1.01), and the medal per game is The payout rate is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins at RT 4 and 5. Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB).

  In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than RT0-5 and has a high probability (about 1 / 1.00) per game The medal payout rate is 1 or more.

  Among RT4, 5, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming state.

  RT0 and RT0 of RT0-3 have a higher probability of winning the re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and 3, compared to RT1 and 3, the player. It can be said that this is an advantageous state.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, when the transition outcome is stopped, the process proceeds to RT1, and when the special combination is won, the process proceeds to RT4 or RT5 depending on the type of the selected special combination.

  In RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, In RT3 which moved after the end of RB or BB (RB), when any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won, and a small part could not be won , Transition to RT1.

  In RT1, when the promotion replay wins, the process shifts to RT0, and when the special combination is won, the process shifts to RT4 or RT5 depending on the type of the selected special combination.

  Since the replays GR1 to 6 are elected at RT1 and the replay order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are elected and the answer is RT0 by correctly answering in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, if the fall replay wins or the transitional outcome stops, it moves to RT1, if the special replay wins, it moves to RT2, and the special role is elected. Accordingly, the process proceeds to RT4 or RT5.

  At RT0, the replays GR11 to 15 are elected, the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. In addition, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won at RT 0 and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. Therefore, at RT0, the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected, and the stop order is correctly answered, the process proceeds to RT2, and the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected and the stop order is incorrect, or the left bells 1 to 4, If any one of the bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 wins and the small combination cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT2, when the special combination is won, the process proceeds to RT4 or RT5 depending on the type of the special combination selected.

  In RT2, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT2, if any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT4 and 5, when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside wins, it shifts to RB or BB (RB).

  When controlled by the AT, which will be described later, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT1 and replay GR11 to 15 when RT0. Further, in any of RT0 to RT2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when the replay GR1 or the left bell is won as the navigation image, “123” (indicating that the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the second stop, and the reel 2R is the third stop) or “132” A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, such as the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop, and the motif of the slot machine 1 Character images tailored to the are displayed. Also, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Reel 2L indicates the first stop, reel 2C indicates the second stop, reel 2R indicates the third stop) and “left and right middle!” (Reel 2L). Indicates the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop). Note that the navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all the reels are rotating, for example, “Left!” Is output first. When the reel 2L is stopped, “Middle!” Is output next. When the reels 2L and 2C are stopped, "Right!" Is output. Regarding the other replays GR2 to 36 and the push order bell, a navigation image corresponding to the replay GR is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and a navigation sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, a push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are won, a push order (see FIG. 16) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  In addition, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 17) for reliably winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, the bell winning, and the falling replay winning that are intentionally won.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Also, in this embodiment, when winning the push order bell, only the stop switch to be stopped first is awarded if the correct answer (ie, 3 choices), but the push order replay is correct for the order of pressing the stop switches (ie, Since there is no winning unless the selection is made (6 selections), the pressing order of the stop switches for the second reel and the third reel when the pressing order bell is won is also determined by the pressing order lottery. Thus, although the navigation effect is performed as if the push order bell does not win if the answer is not correct in the 6-choice push order, if the push-bell is won, the push order is obtained if the correct answer is made in the 3-choice push order. Since the bell wins, the push order bell wins if only the first stop is answered correctly, even if it does not follow the pressing order notified by the navigation effect. In this way, by selecting 6 choices in all of the navigation target roles, the game content can be made uniform, and the game content can be easily understood by the player. In addition, since the push order bell wins if one of the three choices is correct, a lottery with six choices need not be performed.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not to control to ART (a state controlled by AT in RT2) when the target combination (in this embodiment, weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry) is won. Navistock lottery to be decided In the navigation stock lottery, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to provide the navigation stock number is determined.

  In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks.

  Navistock is the right to move to RT2 if RT1, and after the transition to RT2, a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, 50 games which are the initial number of games and the number of games won in the extra lottery described later) The number of rights controlled by ART over the total number of games). After shifting to RT2, the navigation stock number is consumed (subtracted) by 1 to be controlled to ART for a predetermined number of games, during which a navigation effect described later is executed. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to ART based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c. When one or more navigation stocks remain, after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification, the AT is first controlled. The state from the start of the AT control to the transition to RT2 is also referred to as a preparation state.

  In the preparation state, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. At this time, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, the navigation effect is targeted, and when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, the push order for winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation effect, so stop according to the notified push order. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0 by performing the operation. In addition, after the transition to the ready state, in any gaming state of RT0-2, when the push order bell is won, the push order for winning the bell is notified, so by performing a stop operation according to the notified push order It is also possible to win medals with certainty.

  After the promotion replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, it becomes the target of the navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are won, and the push order for winning the special replay when the replays GR11 to 15 are won is notified by the navigation effect. It is possible to shift from RT0 to RT2 by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the push order for winning the bell is notified, so by performing a stop operation according to the notified push order, it is possible to reliably acquire medals, It is possible to avoid the transition outcome and the transition to RT1.

  When the special replay wins at RT0 and the process shifts to RT2, the preparation state is completed, and the ART control is started. An effect is executed, an initial value of the number of remaining games of ART (50 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the number of remaining games of ART is started. At this time, during the ART, it is interrupted by winning the special role, and the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by 1 except in the case of resuming when the bonus ends.

  After the ART starts, the push order for winning the bell when the push order bell is won will be notified. Therefore, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified push order, it is possible to reliably acquire medals and to make a transition. The outcome can be avoided and the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  Further, during ART, when the winning combination of the target role (in this embodiment, weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry) is won, an extra lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games. In the extra lottery, by determining one of the number of games from a plurality of games including 0, whether or not to increase the number of ART games, and the number of games to be added are determined. When it is determined that the number of ART games is to be increased by adding lottery, the determined number of games is added to the remaining number of games in the RAM 91c.

  Also, after the start of ART, every time one game is consumed, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1, and if a special role is won before the remaining number of games reaches 0, the fact that the special role has been won is confirmed. The bonus confirmation notification shown is performed. At the same time that the special role is won, RT2 ends, ART is interrupted, and the number of ART games is also interrupted. After that, the winning bonus of the selected special role is controlled and the corresponding bonus is controlled. When the transition is stopped at RT3, which transitions after the bonus ends, the ART confirmation is notified when the transition is made to RT1, and the AT control is resumed. Accordingly, the transition to RT2 is performed again through the preparation state, thereby performing the ART start effect and restarting the ART, and the counting of the remaining number of games of the ART is also restarted. In this case, the navigation stock is not consumed (subtracted) as described above.

  In addition, when the number of remaining games becomes 0 after the start of ART, if the number of remaining navigation stocks is not 0, a latent lottery for determining whether or not to hide ART is performed and it is not to be hidden. If determined, after executing the ART end effect indicating the end of the ART at the end of the game, the ART start effect is performed in response to the betting number setting operation of the next game, and the ART is restarted. Consumption (subtraction) is performed, and an initial value of the remaining number of ART games (50 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started.

  Also, if it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery, the number of latent games for a maximum of 32 games is determined, and after completion of the ART, an ART end effect indicating the end of the ART is executed, and then the AT control is terminated. Let

  In this state, since the navigation effect is not executed, it is impossible to avoid the transition outcome at the time of winning the push order bell, and the transition outcome stops and the transition to RT1 is performed. RT2 will be maintained until the game stops, and if the transition is not stopped before the number of latent games has elapsed, the ART start effect will be performed in response to the betting number setting operation for the next game, and the ART will be resumed. Then, the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted), an initial value of the remaining number of ART games (50 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started.

  In addition, when it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery, and the AT control is finished, the transition is stopped before the number of latent games elapses. At the same time, the AT control is resumed, and after transitioning to the RT 2 through the preparation state, the ART start effect is performed and the ART is resumed. An initial value (50 games in this embodiment) is set, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started.

  Further, after the start of ART, if the number of remaining games becomes 0 and the number of remaining navigation stocks is 0, an ART end effect is executed and the control of AT is ended. As a result, the navigation effect is not executed, so that it is impossible to avoid the transitional outcome when the push order is won, and a series of AT and ART control is performed by transitioning to RT1 by stopping the transitional outcome. Will end.

  In addition, after the ART confirmation notification, in the stage before the preparation start state, that is, before the ART start effect is performed, the push order notified by the navigation effect is executed even though the navigation effect is executed when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won in RT1. If the promotion replay is not won as a result of performing the stop operation in a push order other than, other than the push order informed by the navigation effect in spite of the navigation effect being executed at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 15 in RT0 As a result of the stop operation in the order of pushing, if the special replay does not win and the fall replay wins and moves to RT1, the navigation effect is executed even though the navigation effect is executed when the push order bell is won in RT0. As a result of performing the stop operation in a pressing order other than the pressing order notified by, when the transition start stops and the process proceeds to RT1, the process until the process proceeds to RT2 When the replays GR1 to 6, the replays GR11 to 15, and the push order bell are selected, the navigation effect is executed. When the replays GR1 to 6 are selected in RT1, the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect. It is possible to shift to RT0, and when replays GR11 to 15 are elected in RT0, it is possible to shift to RT2 by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect.

  In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the push order other than the push order notified by the navigation effect during the ART after the transition to RT2, the navigation effect was executed at the time of the push order bell winning, Even when the transition is stopped and the transition is made to RT1, the navigation effect is executed when the replay GR1 to 6, the replay GR11 to 15, and the push order bell are won until the transition to RT2. When replays GR1 to 6 are won at RT1, it is possible to shift to RT0 by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, and when replays GR11 to 15 are won at RT0, By performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, it is possible to shift to RT2.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls the ART, which is advantageous for the player, based on the navigation stock, separately from the BB that shifts in accordance with the winning of the special role. Compared to BB, ART has a lower expected increase in medals per game (the average increase per game minus the average decrease per game), but stays on the whole The ratio (the ratio of the number of games controlled by ART in a predetermined number of games (for example, 10,000 games)) is set high.

  In addition, in this embodiment, after RT notification with the highest rate of staying is performed, ART is not immediately transferred to RT2, which is advantageous to the player, but then replays GR1 to GR6 are elected at RT1, The promotion replay wins and moves to RT0, and replays GR11 to 15 are elected at RT0 and the special replay wins to shift to RT2 for the first time. At this point, ART control starts and the remaining number of games in ART Counting is started.

  If a special combination is won after the start of the ART control, the RT2 is terminated at that time, and the ART control is also interrupted accordingly. After the bonus ends, when the ART is restarted, the ART confirmation notification is performed and the AT control is started, but in this case as well, the player does not immediately shift to RT2, which is advantageous to the player, but stays in RT3. If it is, the transition outcome is stopped and the routine proceeds to RT1, and if it stays at RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are elected, the promotion replay wins and transitions to RT0, and further the replays GR11 to 15 at RT0. Is won and the special replay wins, the process proceeds to RT2. At this point, the ART control is started and the remaining number of ART games is started.

  In addition, if the navigation stock remains after the end of the ART control, the latent lottery is performed, and if it is determined that the latent lottery is not to be latent, the ART control is immediately resumed while the latent control is resumed. When it is determined that the latent game is to be latently determined, the ART control is not resumed immediately, but the AT control is terminated once, and after the number of latent games has elapsed, an ART confirmation notification is made. If it is maintained, the ART control will be resumed. However, if it has shifted to RT1, replays GR1 to GR6 will be elected, the promotion replay will win and shift to RT0, and further replay will be performed at RT0. When GR 11-15 wins and the special replay wins, the process shifts to RT 2 for the first time, and at this time, the ART control is resumed.

  In this embodiment, as described above, when the weak cherry is won, the strong cherry is won, and the strongest cherry is won, the “cherry” is controlled to be able to be derived to the lower stage of the left reel as described later. The control content of the right reel is different.

  FIG. 19 shows a case where the left reel is set to the first stop when the weak cherry is won, and the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located in the lower stage of the left reel. As shown in Fig. 4, the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the middle reel and the right reel are placed in the middle stage of the middle reel and the middle stage of the right reel regardless of the stop order and the timing of the stop operation. Also, controls other than “BAR” are stopped.

  In addition, when the left reel is stopped for the first time when a weak cherry is won, and the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located in the lower stage of the left reel. Without stopping “Cherry” in the upper, middle and lower tiers of the left reel, and for the middle and right reels, the middle reel and the right reel are also placed in the middle tier regardless of the stop order and timing of the stop operation. The middle stage is also controlled to stop symbols other than “BAR”.

  Even when the first reel other than the left reel is set as the first stop when the weak cherry is won, the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located in the lower stage of the left reel. When the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, the left reel is stopped when the left reel is operated at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 6 to 10 are positioned at the lower stage. Control is performed so that “cherry” is not stopped at any of the upper, middle and lower stages of the reel.

  In addition, even if the first reel other than the left reel is set as the first stop when the weak cherry is elected, the middle reel and the right reel are arranged in the middle reel and the middle of the right reel regardless of the stop order and the timing of the stop operation. In addition, control for stopping symbols other than “BAR” is performed.

  In this way, when a weak cherry is won, if the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the left reel, is positioned in the lower stage, the “cherry” is placed in the lower stage of the left reel. Is stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are controlled to stop symbols other than “BAR” in the middle stage regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Hereinafter, a stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the middle reel and the right reel is referred to as weak cherry eyes.

  When a strong cherry is won, the control differs depending on whether the left reel is in the first stop, the left middle right stop order, or the left / right middle stop order.

  FIG. 20 shows a case where the left reel is stopped at the timing when the left, middle, and right stop order is set when the strong cherry is won, and the numbers 6 to 10 that are the “BAR” pull-in range of the left reel are positioned in the lower stage. As shown in the figure, “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and No. 11 or No. 15 is positioned at the lower stage of the timing at which the No. 11 to 15 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, the “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel. For the right reel, any other than “BAR” is set at the middle stage of the right reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Control to stop the symbol.

  Further, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 12th to 14th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located at the lower stage, or the middle reel If the middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 is located at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry at the middle stage of the middle reel The symbol (“Bell” in this embodiment) was stopped, and for the right reel, the right reel was operated to stop when the 15th to 19th positions, which are the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel, are located in the lower stage. In this case, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the timing other than the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel, is located at the lower stage. In the case of stopping operation of the right reel is performed, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  When the left reel is stopped when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range are located in the lower row in the left reel. As shown in the figure, when “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the right reel is stopped at the timing when the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned at the lower stage. In the middle of the right reel, “BAR” is stopped. For the middle reel, symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry in the middle of the middle reel (regardless of the timing of the stop operation) “Bell”) is stopped.

  In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. With regard to the middle reel, the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 11th or 15th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel are in the lower stage. When it is performed, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and Nos. 12 to 14 are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 11 to 15 which is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, or at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned at the lower stage If the stop operation Lumpur has been performed, it performs control to stop ( "bell" in this embodiment) the symbol other than the "BAR" of the symbol constructing the lower cherries in the middle of the center reel.

  Even when the first reel other than the left reel is set to the first stop when the strong cherry is won, when the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is positioned in the lower stage. When the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, the left reel is stopped when the left reel is operated at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 6 to 10 are positioned at the lower stage. Control is performed so that “cherry” is not stopped at any of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the reels.

  Further, for the middle reel and the right reel, when the middle reel is stopped before the right reel, 11 of the timings at which the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located in the lower stage in the middle reel. When the middle reel is stopped at the timing when No. 15 or No. 15 is positioned at the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and for the right reel, the right reel Control is performed to stop symbols other than “BAR” in the middle row. Further, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 12th to 14th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located at the lower stage, or the middle reel If the middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 is located at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry at the middle stage of the middle reel The symbol (“Bell” in this embodiment) was stopped, and for the right reel, the right reel was operated to stop when the 15th to 19th positions, which are the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel, are located in the lower stage. In this case, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the timing other than the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel, is located at the lower stage. In the case of stopping operation of the right reel is performed, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  Also, when the right reel is stopped before the middle reel, the right reel is stopped at the timing at which the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned in the lower stage. In addition, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and for the middle reel, symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry at the middle stage of the middle reel (regardless of the timing of the stop operation) Then, “Bell”) is stopped. In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. With regard to the middle reel, the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 11th or 15th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel are in the lower stage. When it is performed, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and Nos. 12 to 14 are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 11 to 15 which is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, or at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned at the lower stage If the stop operation Lumpur has been performed, it performs control to stop ( "bell" in this embodiment) the symbol other than the "BAR" of the symbol constructing the lower cherries in the middle of the center reel.

  Thus, when a strong cherry is won, when the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the left reel, is positioned in the lower stage, “cherry” is placed in the lower stage of the left reel. In the middle reel and the right reel, control is performed so that only one of the reels can stop “BAR” in the middle stage. At this time, with respect to the middle reel, “BAR” is placed in the middle stage of the middle reel only when the middle reel is stopped in a specific two-design range of the five-design range that is the “BAR” drawing range in the middle reel. Is controlled to stop the right reel, the right reel has the right reel even when the right reel is stopped in any of the five symbol ranges that are the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel. Control to stop “BAR” in the middle stage. That is, the control is performed so that the rate at which “BAR” stops in the middle stage is higher in the right reel than in the middle reel. In addition, if the “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” cannot be stopped at the middle stage for both the middle reel and the right reel, the aforementioned weak cherry eyes will stop. It becomes. Hereinafter, a stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of only one of the middle reel and the right reel is referred to as a strong cherry eye. In addition, even when the strong cherry and the strongest cherry are not selected, the “BAR” may stop at the middle of one of the middle reel and the right reel. If the “cherry” does not stop at the lower stage of the left reel even though the left reel is stopped at the position at which it is positioned, the winning of the strong cherry or the strongest cherry is denied.

  In this embodiment, the strong cherry eyes can be stopped regardless of the order of stopping the reels when the strong cherry is won, but the strong cherry eyes are stopped only when the left reel is in the first stop. When the first stop other than the left reel is set as the first stop, the configuration is such that “BAR” does not stop in the middle stage of the middle reel and the right reel, or the first stop other than the left reel. In this case, a configuration may be adopted in which neither strong cherry eyes nor weak cherry eyes are stopped.

  At the time of winning the strongest cherry, the control differs depending on whether the left reel is in the first stop, the left middle right stop order or the left / right middle stop order.

  FIG. 22 shows the case where the left reel is stopped when the strongest cherry is won and the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th positions, which are the “BAR” pull-in range, are positioned in the lower stage on the left reel. As shown in the figure, “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and No. 11 or No. 15 is positioned at the lower stage of the timing at which the No. 11 to 15 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When the middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, the “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and for the right reel, numbers 15 to 19 that are the “BAR” pull-in range at the right reel are at the lower stage. When the stop operation of the right reel is performed at the position of the position, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the “BAR” pull-in range in the right reel is 15 to 19 There when stopping operation of the right reel at a timing other than the timing positioned on the lower was performed, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  Further, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 12th to 14th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located at the lower stage, or the middle reel If the middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 is located at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry at the middle stage of the middle reel The symbol (“Bell” in this embodiment) was stopped, and for the right reel, the right reel was operated to stop when the 15th to 19th positions, which are the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel, are located in the lower stage. In this case, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the timing other than the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel, is located at the lower stage. In the case of stopping operation of the right reel is performed, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  When the left reel is stopped when the strongest cherry is elected, the stop order is left and right in the middle, and the left reel is operated at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located in the lower stage. As shown in the figure, when “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the right reel is stopped at the timing when the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned at the lower stage. , “BAR” is stopped at the middle of the right reel, and for the middle reel, the 11th or 15th of the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 at the middle reel is located at the lower stage is located at the lower stage When the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing, the “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the “BAR” pull-in range becomes 11 to 15 in the middle reel. When the middle reel is stopped at the timing when No. 12 to No. 14 are located at the lower stage, or No. 11 to 15 that are the “BAR” pull-in range in the middle reel are located at the lower stage. When a stop operation of the middle reel is performed at a timing other than the timing, a control other than “BAR” (in the present embodiment, “bell”) among symbols constituting the lower cherries in the middle stage of the middle reel is controlled.

  In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. With regard to the middle reel, the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 11th or 15th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel are in the lower stage. When it is performed, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and Nos. 12 to 14 are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 11 to 15 which is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, or at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned at the lower stage If the stop operation Lumpur has been performed, it performs control to stop ( "bell" in this embodiment) the symbol other than the "BAR" of the symbol constructing the lower cherries in the middle of the center reel.

  Even when the first reel other than the left reel is set as the first stop at the time of winning the strongest cherry, when the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located in the lower stage of the left reel When the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, the left reel is stopped when the left reel is operated at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 6 to 10 are positioned at the lower stage. Control is performed so that “cherry” is not stopped at any of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the reels.

  Further, for the middle reel and the right reel, when the middle reel is stopped before the right reel, 11 of the timings at which the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located in the lower stage in the middle reel. When the middle reel is stopped at the timing when No. 15 or No. 15 is located at the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and for the right reel, When the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing when No. 15 to No. 19 are positioned in the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the right reel, and the “BAR” pull-in range is set in the right reel. When a stop operation of the right reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the number is positioned at the lower stage, a control for stopping symbols other than “BAR” at the middle stage of the right reel is performed. Further, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 12th to 14th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located at the lower stage, or the middle reel If the middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 is located at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” among the symbols constituting the lower cherry at the middle stage of the middle reel The symbol (“Bell” in this embodiment) was stopped, and for the right reel, the right reel was operated to stop when the 15th to 19th positions, which are the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel, are located in the lower stage. In this case, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the timing other than the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel, is located at the lower stage. In the case of stopping operation of the right reel is performed, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  Also, when the right reel is stopped before the middle reel, the right reel is stopped at the timing at which the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned in the lower stage. In addition, “BAR” is stopped at the middle of the right reel, and for the middle reel, the 11th or 15th of the timing at which the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the middle reel, is located at the lower stage is the lower stage. When the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing of positioning, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the timing at which Nos. 11 to 15 that are the “BAR” pull-in range of the middle reel are located at the lower stage. When the middle reel is stopped at the timing when the 12th to 14th positions are in the lower stage, or the 11th to 15th areas that are the “BAR” pull-in range in the middle reel are located in the lower stage. Control is performed to stop symbols other than “BAR” (“Bell” in this embodiment) among symbols constituting the lower cherries in the middle stage of the middle reel when a middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than . In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. With regard to the middle reel, the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 11th or 15th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel are in the lower stage. When it is performed, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and Nos. 12 to 14 are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 11 to 15 which is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the middle reel. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing, or at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned at the lower stage If the stop operation Lumpur has been performed, it performs control to stop ( "bell" in this embodiment) the symbol other than the "BAR" of the symbol constructing the lower cherries in the middle of the center reel.

  Thus, when winning the strongest cherry, if the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the left reel, is positioned in the lower stage, “cherry” is placed in the lower stage of the left reel. The center reel and the right reel are controlled so that “BAR” can be stopped in the middle stage for both reels. In addition, if the “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” cannot be stopped at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel, the aforementioned strong cherry eyes will stop. If the “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” cannot be stopped at the middle stage for both the middle reel and the right reel, the aforementioned weak cherry eyes will stop. Become. Hereinafter, the stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of both the middle reel and the right reel is called the strongest cherry eye. Also, even when the strongest cherry is not won, “BAR” may stop at the middle of one of the middle reel and the right reel, and the timing at which No. 6-10, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is located at the bottom of the left reel. If the “cherry” does not stop at the lower part of the left reel even though the left reel is stopped, the winning of the strongest cherry is denied.

  In this embodiment, it is possible to stop the strongest cherry eyes or the strong cherry eyes regardless of the reel stop order at the time of winning the strongest cherry, but the strongest cherry is only when the left reel is in the first stop. Control is made so that the eyes or strong cherry eyes can be stopped, and when the first stop other than the left reel is set to the first stop, the configuration is such that “BAR” does not stop at the middle stage of the weak cherry eyes, that is, the middle reel and the right reel. When the first stop other than the reel is set as the first stop, the strongest cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, and the weak cherry eyes may not be stopped.

  In this way, in this example, depending on the difference in stop mode by performing a stop operation at an appropriate timing when winning the weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, whether the winning of the weak cherry, winning of the strong cherry, While it is possible to identify whether the strongest cherry is won or not, if you do not stop at the right time, even if you can identify that one of weak cherry, strong cherry, strongest cherry, It is configured so that it is not possible to specify whether the winning of the weak cherry, the winning of the strong cherry or the winning of the strongest cherry.

  In the internal lottery performed by the main control unit of this embodiment, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the strongest cherry can be won simultaneously with the special role, but the ratio of winning simultaneously with the special role (weak cherry / strong cherry / strongest cherry alone) And the probability of winning the weak cherry / strong cherry / the strongest cherry in the combined value of the probability of winning at the same time as the special role is different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, the ratio that the weak cherry wins the special role at the same time is approximately 8.5%, the strong cherry wins the special role at the same time is approximately 57.5%, and the strongest cherry is the special role. The ratio of winning simultaneously is 100%.

  That is, the ratio that the strong cherry wins with the special role is set higher than the ratio that the weak cherry wins with the special role at the same time. One can expect to win a special role. In addition, the ratio that the strongest cherry wins at the same time as the special role is set higher than the ratio that the strong cherry wins at the same time as the special role. Can expect to win a special role. Therefore, when the strong cherry eyes are stopped, the player is more advantageous when the strong cherry eyes are stopped than when the weak cherry eyes are stopped, and the strongest cherry is stronger than when the strong cherry eyes are stopped. When the eyes are stopped, the player is more advantageous for the probability that the special role will be won at the same time.

  In this embodiment, in the Navistock lottery performed by the sub-control unit 91 when the weak cherry, strong cherry, and strongest cherry are won, whether the weak cherry is won, the strong cherry is won, or the strongest cherry is won. Correspondingly, the winning probability of Navistock and the average value of the winning number of Navistock differ.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the winning probability of 0 Navistock at the time of winning a weak cherry is 95%, the winning probability of 1 Navistock is 4%, and the winning probability of 3 Navistock is 1%. The winning probability of Navistock is 5%, and the average number of winning Navistock is 0.07. The winning probability of 0 Navistock at the time of winning a strong cherry is 50%, the winning probability of 1 Navistock is 30%, the winning probability of 3 Navistock is 20%, and the winning probability of 5 Navistock is 10% Yes, the winning probability of Navistock is 50%, and the average number of winning Navistock is 1.4. The winning probability of 3 Navistock at the time of winning the strongest cherry is 80%, the winning probability of 5 Navistock is 20%, the winning probability of Navistock is 100%, and the average number of Navistock winnings is 3. 4.

  In other words, the average value of Navistock's winning probability and the number of Navistock's winnings is set higher when the strong cherry is selected than when the weak cherry is selected. When you do so, you can expect to win Navistock and the number of winners. Furthermore, the average value of the winning probability of Navistock and the winning number of Navistock is set higher when winning the strongest cherry than when winning the strong cherry, and the strongest cherry eyes are stronger than when the strong cherry eyes stop When you stop, you can expect to win Navistock and the number of winners. For this reason, when the strong cherry eyes are stopped than when the weak cherry eyes are stopped, the player is more advantageous in terms of the winning probability and the number of winnings of Navistock, and is the strongest than when the strong cherry eyes are stopped. When the cherry eyes are stopped, the player is more advantageous in terms of the winning probability and the winning number of Navistock.

  In this embodiment, when the weak cherries, strong cherries, and strongest cherries are won during the ART, in the extra lottery performed by the sub-control unit 91, is the weak cherries won, the strong cherries won, or the strongest cherries won? , The winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average value of the added number of games differ.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, when winning a weak cherry, the winning game number 0G has a winning probability of 50%, the winning game number 10G has a winning probability of 40%, and the winning game number 30G has a winning probability of 5%. The winning probability of 50G games is 1%, the winning probability of 100G added games is 1%, the winning probability of 150G added games is 1%, the winning probability of 200G added games is 1%, the winning probability of 250G added games Is 0.5%, the winning probability of 300G added games is 0.5%, the winning probability of adding ART games is 50%, and the average value of the added games is 13.25. At the time of winning strong cherry, the winning probability of 0G added game is 30%, the winning probability of 10G added game is 30%, the winning probability of 30G added game is 25%, the winning probability of 50G added game is 10%, The winning probability for the additional game number 100G is 1%, the winning probability for the additional game number 150G is 1%, the winning probability for the additional game number 200G is 1%, the winning probability for the additional game number 250G is 1%, and the winning game number 300G is won The probability is 1%, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games is 70%, and the average value of the added games is 25.5. When winning the strongest cherry, the winning probability of 50G added game is 50%, the winning probability of 100G added game is 20%, the winning probability of 150G added game is 10%, the winning probability of 200G added game is 10%, The winning probability of the additional game number 250G is 5%, the winning probability of the additional game number 300G is 5%, the winning probability of adding the ART game number is 100%, and the average number of games to be added is 107.5. It is.

  In other words, the average probability of adding the number of ART games and the number of games to be added is higher when the strong cherry is won than when the weak cherry is won, and stronger than when the weak cherry eyes are stopped. When the cherry eyes are stopped, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of games for ART and an increase in the number of games. In addition, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average number of games to be added are higher in the strongest cherry winning than in the strong cherry winning, and compared to when the strong cherry eyes stop When the strongest cherry eyes stop, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of games for ART and an increase in the number of games. For this reason, when the strong cherry eyes are stopped, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the number of games to be added are more advantageous for the player than when the weak cherry eyes are stopped. When the strongest cherry eyes are stopped, the player is more advantageous in terms of the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the number of games to be added.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 lights the reel LED 55 in a specific pattern when the strong cherry eyes are stopped, and notifies that the strong cherry eyes are stopped by outputting a specific winning notification sound. Perform strong cherry performance.

  In the strong cherry effect, as shown in FIG. 27, the reel LED 55 is turned on with the lighting pattern A, the strong cherry effect A that outputs the winning notification sound A, and the reel LED 55 is turned on with the lighting pattern B. A strong cherry effect B that outputs a notification sound B.

  In this embodiment, the lighting state of the reel LED 55 and the winning notification sound are applied as the strong cherry effect. However, any effect that notifies that at least the strong cherry eye has stopped may be used. In addition to the above, an effect by another effect device may be performed, or a strong cherry effect other than the reel LED 55 and the notification sound may be performed.

  The sub-control unit 91 stops “cherry” in the lower stage of the left reel among the strong cherry eyes, stops “BAR” in the middle stage of the middle reel, and stops symbols other than “BAR” in the middle stage of the right reel. When the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode are stopped, strong cherry effect A is executed, “Cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the middle stage of the right reel. When the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode in which “BAR” stops, the strong cherry effect B is executed.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can win the Navistock over a plurality of games, that is, the ART can be won when the strong cherry or the weak cherry that can be expected to win the Navistock in the RT1 that is not in AT is selected. Execute a prelude direction that suggests sex.

  The prelude effect is different from the normal effect (the effect executed in the majority of RT1 that is not in AT), such as the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and is in the predecessor effect due to the difference in these effect modes. Can be recognized.

  In addition, the warning effect is executed based on a plurality of types of warning patterns including a warning effect based on the warning pattern A and a warning effect B based on the warning pattern B. The sign pattern of the sign effect is determined by a sign pattern selection lottery performed at the end of the game won by the strong cherry or the weak cherry.

  In the precursor pattern selection lottery, as shown in FIG. 28, “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel among the strong cherry eyes, “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the right reel. When the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode where the other symbols stop are stopped, “Cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, the symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the middle stage of the right reel. The selection rate of the precursor pattern A and the precursor pattern B is different between when the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode in which “BAR” stops are stopped. Specifically, “Cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode where symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the right reel. Sometimes, the precursor pattern A is selected with a probability of 80%, and the precursor pattern B is selected with a probability of 20%. On the other hand, when “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode where “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the right reel The precursor pattern A is selected with a probability of 20%, and the precursor pattern B is selected with a probability of 80%.

  That is, when “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, and when the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode in which symbols other than “BAR” stop at the middle stage of the right reel, When the cherry is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode where “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel In the case where the ratio of executing the precursor effect based on the precursor pattern A is different from the ratio of executing the precursor effect based on the precursor pattern B, and the former strong cherry eyes are stopped, the precursor effect based on the precursor pattern A When the latter strong cherry eyes are stopped, the warning effect based on the warning pattern B is easily executed.

  In this embodiment, it is more advantageous for the player that the strong cherry is won than the weak cherry is won. Also, the reel stop control differs depending on whether the weak cherry is won or the strong cherry is won, and whether the weak cherry is won or the strong cherry is won according to the outcome at that time. However, in a situation where a plurality of reels are rotating, if a weak cherry or a strong cherry is identified when one of the reels stops, the weak cherry is identified. Even if there is still a spinning reel when the roll stops, it becomes a strong cherry, that is, a situation that is more advantageous to the player than when the weak cherry specified by the weak cherry is won This means that it will not be possible to sustain the expectation of becoming a strong cherry eye that suggests that a strong cherry that is likely to be won.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the weak cherry is won, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage on both the middle reel and the right reel, while when the strong cherry is won, the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. When a middle reel stop operation is performed at a specific timing in the above situation, a stop mode in which “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle stage of the middle reel, is stopped. When the middle reel is stopped at the same timing, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle of the middle reel, and the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle of the middle reel. A stop mode in which “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle, is controlled to be stoppable. For this reason, when the middle reel is stopped in a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, even if the stopping mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified on the middle reel does not stop, the right reel is thereafter strongly stopped. When the stop mode in which the cherry eyes are specified stops, the strong cherry eyes are obtained. Therefore, even if the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel does not stop, the strong cherry is subsequently stopped until the right reel stops. To become a strong cherry eye that suggests that a strong cherry that is likely to be more advantageous to the player than the time of winning the weak cherry identified by the weak cherry eye is elected The player's expectation for the can be maintained.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, in a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the 11th or 15th of the timing at which the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the middle reel, is located in the lower stage is the lower stage. When the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing positioned in the middle reel, the “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the timing at which the numbers 11 to 15 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” are located in the lower stage in the middle reel. When the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing when Nos. 12 to 14 are positioned at the lower stage, symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel. That is, even if a middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing that is a pull-in range of a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel, a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel may not stop. Even if a stop operation is being performed aiming at a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel, even if the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel does not stop, the right reel A game against becoming a strong cherry eye suggesting that a strong cherry that is likely to be in a more advantageous situation for the player than the time of winning the weak cherry identified by the weak cherry eye until the game stops Can maintain the expectation of the elderly.

  In this embodiment, the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are provided with three reels. Among these, the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, and the middle reel is stopped at a specific timing. In this case, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified on the middle reel is stopped, whereas when the middle reel is stopped at a timing other than the specific timing, the strong cherry on the middle reel is stopped. If the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel is not stopped without stopping the stop mode in which the eyes are specified, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel is controlled to be stoppable. In the configuration having at least two or more reels, the first reel and the second reel are still rotating, and the first reel is at a specific timing. When the stop operation is performed, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified on the first reel is stopped, whereas the stop operation of the first reel is performed at a timing other than the specific timing. In this case, when the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the first reel is not stopped and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the first reel is not stopped, the second reel is strong. If the configuration is such that the stop mode in which cherry eyes are specified is controlled so as to be stopped, the first reel is stopped when the first reel is stopped in a situation where the first reel and the second reel are still rotating. Even if the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the second reel is not stopped, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the second reel is stopped, so that the strong cherry eyes are obtained. Strong cherry eyes are identified Even if the stop mode to be stopped does not stop, the strong cherry that is likely to be more advantageous to the player than the time of winning the weak cherry specified by the weak cherry eyes until the second reel stops thereafter. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for becoming a strong cherry eye that is suggested to be winning.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is elected, if the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel does not stop, the strong cherry on the right reel. When the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing that is the pull-in range of the stop mode in which the eye is specified, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eye is specified in the right reel is stopped. In the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, if the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel does not stop, the pull-in range of the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel When a right reel stop operation is performed at some timing of the following timing, a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified on the right reel is stopped. It is also good, regardless of the stop timing of the right reel, strong cherry eyes to the right reel may be configured to stop the stop mode specified.

  Also, in this embodiment, the ratio that the strong cherry wins the special role at the same time is set higher than the ratio that the weak cherry wins the special role at the same time. The average value of the winning probability of Navistock and the winning number of Navistock is set higher, and the winning probability of adding the number of games of ART will be added when the strong cherry is won than when weakly winning the cherry When the average value of the number of games to be set is set higher, the player is better at winning the strong cherry than at the winner of the weak cherry, and as a result, the player is stronger than the weak cherry It is suggested that there is a high possibility that the player is more favorable for the player, but at least the player has a strong cherry eye rather than a weak cherry eye. It is sufficient if the configuration suggests that there is a high possibility that the situation is likely to be an unfavorable situation. By providing any one of the above configurations, it is advantageous for the player to have a strong cherry eye rather than a weak cherry eye. It is possible to adopt a configuration that suggests that there is a high possibility that the situation is difficult, and that the game state that shifts in the strong cherry win is controlled more advantageously for the player than the game state that shifts in the weak cherry win Thus, it may be configured that it is suggested that there is a high possibility that the player has a more advantageous situation when the player has a strong cherry than a weak cherry.

  In addition, the average probability of Navistock's winning probability and the number of Navistock's winnings is set higher when it becomes strong cherry eyes than when it becomes weak cherry eyes, when it becomes weak cherry eyes Rather than the weak cherry eyes, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average value of the number of games to be added are set higher when the strong cherry eyes are It may be a configuration that suggests that there is a high possibility that the time is more favorable for the player, or the player moves when the player has a strong cherry rather than the gaming state that shifts when the player has a weak cherry. It is shown that it is more likely that the game state is more advantageous for the player when it becomes a strong cherry eye than a weak cherry eye because the game state is controlled favorably for the player. If the player has a strong cherry eye rather than a weak cherry eye, the player will be given a value that is more advantageous than the weak cherry eye. May be suggested that there is a high possibility that the situation is advantageous to the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the weak cherries are won and the strong cherries are won, the “BAR” pull-in range is obtained in the left reel in a situation where all of the left reel, the middle reel and the right reel are rotating. When the left reel is stopped at the timing when No. 10 is located at the lower stage, the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel. By stopping “Cherry” at the bottom, it is possible to make the player recognize that either weak cherry or strong cherry is winning, that is, weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, Thereafter, in order to specify whether the cherry eyes are weak or strong, the stop mode of the middle reel and the right reel can be focused.

  In this embodiment, since the “cherry” on the left reel is disposed beyond the pull-in range, the timing at which “cherry” can be pulled into the lower stage of the left reel (“BAR” pull-in on the left reel) If you do not stop the left reel at the timing (No. 6 to 10 in the lower range), you cannot stop “Cherry” in the lower stage of the left reel even if a weak cherry or a strong cherry is won. In the configuration, by placing the “cherry” on the left reel at an interval that falls within the pull-in range, regardless of the timing of the left reel's stop operation when winning a weak cherry or a strong cherry, May be configured to stop, that is, to stop the outcome suggesting the winning of weak cherry or strong cherry, even in such a configuration, It is possible to make the player recognize that either one of the cherry or strong cherry is winning, that is, the weak cherry eye or strong cherry eye, and then the weak cherry eye or strong cherry eye In order to identify whether or not, the stop mode of the middle reel and the right reel can be noted.

  In the present embodiment, the strong cherry eyes are specified by stopping “BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel or by stopping “BAR” at the middle stage of the right reel. That is, both the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are both stop modes in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage. The player can be made aware that

  In particular, both the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are both the stop mode in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage, that is, common to a common position. Since it is a stop mode in which the symbol stops, it is further easier for the player to recognize that it is a strong cherry eye.

  In this embodiment, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are both stop modes in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage. The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel may be different. Even if the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are different, for example, the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel. The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified in the right reel and the stop mode in which the symbols with similar shapes and colors are stopped at a common position are used to easily become strong cherry eyes. Can be recognized.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is won, the timing of the stop operation that draws the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel than in the middle reel, that is, the stop mode in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage is greater. The middle reel is less likely to stop “BAR” in the middle than the right reel, and the right reel is easier to stop “BAR” in the middle compared to the middle reel. “BAR” stops at the middle of the reel and the strong cherry eyes are specified, which can enhance the player's sense of superiority, and the middle reel is stopped by performing the stop operation in the order of the left reel and the middle reel. At this point, it is difficult to identify strong cherry eyes, so that the player's expectation for becoming strong cherry eyes can be effectively maintained.

  In this embodiment, the “BAR” in which the strong cherry eyes are specified by stopping at the middle stage in the right reel is arranged at an interval exceeding the pull-in range, and when the strong cherry is won, the “BAR” in the right reel is arranged. When the right reel stop operation is performed within the pull-in range, the “BAR” is controlled to stop in the middle of the right reel, and when the right reel stop operation is performed outside the “BAR” pull-in range, The “BAR” is not stopped in the middle of the right reel, but it is placed on the right reel so that all “BARs” in which strong cherry eyes are identified by stopping in the right reel are within the pull-in range. When winning the cherry, the configuration that makes it possible to stop the “BAR” in which the strong cherry eyes are identified on the right reel, regardless of the timing of the right reel stop operation from 0 to 20, that is, the stop of the right reel Regardless of the timing of the operation, it may be possible to stop the “BAR” in which the strong cherry eyes are identified on the right reel. By adopting such a configuration, when the strong cherry is won, Even when “BAR” does not stop in the middle stage of the reel, “BAR” in which the strong cherry is specified in the middle stage of the right reel always stops, so that it becomes a strong cherry eye, that is, a weak cherry eye. It is possible to reliably suggest to the player the possibility that the situation is more advantageous to the player than when it was.

  Further, in this embodiment, a strong cherry effect that notifies when the strong cherry eyes stop is executed, and “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel of the strong cherry eyes, and the middle stage of the middle reel. When “BAR” stops and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode where symbols other than “BAR” stop in the middle of the right reel, strong cherry effect A is executed, and “Cherry” stops in the lower half of the left reel. When the symbols other than “BAR” stop in the middle stage of the middle reel and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage of the right reel, the strong cherry effect B is executed. In other words, there is a strong cherry effect in which the production mode is different between when the strong cherry eye where “BAR” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel and when the strong cherry eye where “BAR” stops in the middle stage of the right reel. Because it is executed, due to the difference in the strong cherry production, whether the strong cherry eyes where “BAR” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel that is difficult to stop when winning the strong cherry stopped, or the right reel that is easy to stop when winning the strong cherry It becomes clear whether the strong cherry eyes where "BAR" stops in the middle stage have stopped, and the player's sense of superiority due to the fact that "BAR" stops in the middle stage of the middle reel and the strong cherry eyes are specified effectively Can be increased.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a strong cherry or a weak cherry is won, a navigator stock win is performed over a plurality of games, that is, a sign production suggesting an ART win is performed, and “cherry” is displayed at the bottom of the left reel. Stops, “BAR” stops in the middle of the middle reel, and symbols other than “BAR” stop in the middle of the right reel. The sign effect based on the sign pattern A is stopped when the symbols other than “BAR” stop in the middle stage of the middle reel, and the strong cherry eyes in the stop mode in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage of the right reel. “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, which is difficult to stop when winning the strong cherry, and the ratio that is executed is different from the ratio that the precursor effect based on the precursor pattern B is executed. Depending on whether the strong cherry eyes stopped or the strong cherry eyes where “BAR” stops in the middle of the right reel, which is easy to stop when winning strong cherry, It is possible to enhance the interest by directing.

  For example, if a strong cherry eye where “BAR” stops in the middle stage of a middle reel that is difficult to stop when a strong cherry is won, it is highly likely that the player is a player with a high level of skill. When the selection ratio of the predictive pattern that is frequently executed for the effect that targets the symbol is increased, and the strong cherry eye that stops “BAR” stops in the middle of the right reel that is easy to stop when winning the strong cherry, Since there is a high possibility of being a player who has a low push skill or a player who does not practice a lot of eyes, it is possible to increase the selection rate of the precursor pattern that is frequently used to produce a performance that does not require the eyes. It is easy to execute a precursor pattern according to the level and taste.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is elected, even if the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, even if the middle reel is stopped first or the right reel is stopped first, the strong cherry is It is possible to stop the stop mode in which the winning of the eye is specified. The middle reel is less likely to stop “BAR” in the middle stage than the right reel, and the right reel is in the middle stage compared to the middle reel. Since “BAR” is easy to stop, in the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the right reel is stopped first, or a stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are easily identified is determined, or the strong cherry eyes are stopped. By selecting whether to stop the middle reel which is difficult to derive the stop mode specified, it will be easier to detect whether it is a strong cherry eye or not, and the expectation to become a strong cherry eye Persistence Luke, can be selected.

  In this embodiment, when the strong cherries are won, the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, even if the middle reel is stopped first or the right reel is stopped first. It is a configuration that can stop the “BAR”, that is, the stopping mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified, but in the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating at the time of winning the strong cherry, Only when the specific reel of the reel and the right reel is stopped first and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eye is specified on the specific reel cannot be stopped, the strong cherry eye is specified on the other reel. It is good also as a structure which can stop a stop aspect.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is elected, even if the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, even if the middle reel is stopped first or the right reel is stopped first, the strong cherry is Although it is possible to stop the stop mode in which the eyes are specified, the right reel is configured to have a higher ratio of stopping the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified compared to the middle reel. Whether the middle reel is configured to have a high stopping rate in which the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified is set higher than the right reel, so that it is easier to detect whether the cherry eyes are strong or not. You can choose whether to keep your expectations for becoming a strong cherry eye.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is won, the stop mode in which only one of the middle reel and the right reel is determined to be strong cherry is controlled so that it can be stopped. In addition, when winning the strongest cherry, which is advantageous to the player, the stop mode is controlled so that strong cherry eyes are specified for both the middle reel and the right reel, so that the strong cherry eyes are specified for both the middle reel and the right reel. When the stop mode is stopped, it is possible to make the player recognize that the possibility that the player is more advantageous than the strong cherry is the strongest cherry.

  In this embodiment, when the strongest cherry is elected and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, when the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified on one of the middle reel and the right reel is stopped, When the remaining reels are stopped at the timing that is the pull-in range of the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified in the reels of the reels (strong timing is applied to the remaining reels). The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in either the middle reel or the right reel in the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating when the strongest cherry is elected is stopped. Is stopped at a part of the timing of the pull-in range of the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified in the remaining reels When a stop operation of the reel is performed, a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified on the remaining reels may be stopped, or the strong cherries on the remaining reels regardless of the stop timing of the remaining reels. It is good also as a structure which stops the stop aspect in which eyes are specified.

  Also, in this example, the ratio that the strongest cherry wins with the special role is set higher than the ratio that the strong cherry wins with the special role at the same time. The higher the probability of winning the Navistock and the average number of Navistock winnings, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games will be added at the time of winning the strongest cherry than when winning the strong cherry When the average value of the number of games to be set is set higher, the player with the strongest cherry wins the advantage than the player with the strong cherry wins. It is suggested that there is a high possibility that the player is more favorable for the player, but at least the player who has the strongest cherry eyes than the strong cherry eyes is the player Any configuration that suggests that there is a high possibility of a favorable situation is possible, and when one of the above configurations is provided, the game is more powerful than the strong cherry eyes. The configuration may suggest that there is a high possibility that the situation is advantageous to the player, and the gaming state that shifts when winning the strongest cherry is more advantageously controlled by the player than the gaming state that shifts when winning the strong cherry Thus, a configuration may be suggested that there is a high possibility that the player is more advantageous for the player when the strongest cherry eye is obtained than the strong cherry eye.

  In addition, the average probability of Navistock's winning probability and the number of Navistock's winnings is set higher when it becomes the strongest cherry eye than when it becomes strong cherry eye, when it becomes strong cherry eye Rather than the strong cherry eyes, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average number of games to be added are set higher when the strongest cherry eyes are It may be a configuration that suggests that there is a high possibility that the time is more advantageous for the player, or it will shift when it becomes the strongest cherry eye than the game state that moves when it becomes a strong cherry eye Since the game state is advantageously controlled by the player, there is a possibility that the player is more advantageous when the player becomes the strongest cherry eye than the strong cherry eye. The structure that suggests that, the strong cherry eyes than the strong cherry eyes will be given a value that is more advantageous to the player when it becomes the strong cherry eyes than the strong cherry eyes It may be a configuration that suggests that there is a high possibility that the situation is more advantageous for the player.

  In this embodiment, the strongest cherry is more advantageous for the player than when the strong cherry is won. It is good also as a structure which controls so that a stop mode in which a strong cherry eye is specified to both a middle reel and a right reel can be stopped at the time of winning.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the weak cherry eyes are stopped when the weak cherry is won, and the weak cherry eyes are stopped when the weak cherry is won and whether or not to control the freeze state described later. When winning a lottery, if weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes do not stop when strong cherry is won, weak cherry eyes stop when strong cherry is won, strong cherry eyes do not stop, strong cherry wins strong If the cherry eyes stop and the freeze lottery is won, the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes and the strong cherry eyes will not stop when the strongest cherry wins, the weak cherry eyes will stop when the strongest cherry wins, and the strong cherry eyes And if the strongest cherry eyes do not stop, the strong cherry eyes will stop when the strongest cherry wins, and the strongest cherry eyes will not stop When the next game is started, the operation for advancing the game for a predetermined period is invalidated by delaying the timing at which the operation for advancing the game (reel stop operation) is validated. Control to the frozen state.

  If the weak cherry eyes stop when the weak cherry is won and the freeze lottery is won, at the same time as the start operation of the next game, the freeze is controlled and the reels are fixed as shown in FIGS. 29 (a) and 29 (b). After suggesting the possibility that the reel stop mode is changed by vibrating up and down over time, as shown in FIGS. 29 (c) and 29 (d), the reel is finally rotated without changing the reel stop mode. Start and make the stop operation valid at the time of constant speed rotation. On the other hand, if the weak cherry is stopped at the time of winning the weak cherry and the freeze lottery is not won, as shown in FIGS. 29 (a), (b), and (e), the predetermined rotation from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game is performed. If the regulation time has elapsed, the reels start to rotate simultaneously with the start operation of the next game, and the stop operation becomes effective when the constant speed rotation is reached.

  If the weak cherry eyes stop when the strong cherry is won, the freeze operation is controlled at the same time as the start operation of the next game, and the reels are vibrated up and down for a certain time as shown in FIGS. After suggesting the possibility that the stop mode of the reel may be changed, as shown in FIG. 30C or FIG. And a stop mode in which “BAR” stops at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel. Thereafter, when the freeze continues, as shown in FIGS. 30 (d) (e) (f) or 30 (h) (i) (j), the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time. After suggesting the possibility of changing the stop mode, the reel starts to rotate without changing the reel stop mode from the strong cherry eyes, and the stop operation becomes effective when the rotation reaches a constant speed. . On the other hand, if the freeze does not continue after changing the reel stop mode to strong cherry, as shown in FIG. 30 (f) or FIG. At this point, the stop operation is enabled. Whether or not to continue the freeze after changing the reel stop mode to a strong cherry is determined according to the freeze time selected at the start of the freeze state.

  If a strong cherry is stopped when winning a strong cherry and the freeze lottery is won, the freeze state is controlled simultaneously with the start operation of the next game, and the reel stop mode is changed by vibrating the reel up and down for a certain period of time. After suggesting the possibility of rotation, the reel rotation is finally started without changing the reel stop mode, and the stop operation is validated when the rotation speed is constant. On the other hand, if the strong cherry eyes stop when the strong cherry is won and the freeze lottery is not won, if the specified regulation time has elapsed since the start of the reel rotation of the previous game, The reel starts to rotate, and the stop operation is made effective when the reel rotates at a constant speed.

  If the weak cherry is stopped at the time of winning the strongest cherry, the freeze control is performed simultaneously with the start operation of the next game, and the reels are vibrated up and down for a certain time as shown in FIGS. After suggesting the possibility of changing the reel stop mode, as shown in FIG. 31 (c) or FIG. 31 (g), the reel stop mode is set to strong cherry eyes ("Cherry" stops at the lower stage of the left reel). And a stop mode in which “BAR” stops at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (d) (e) or FIG. 31 (h) (i), the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time to suggest the possibility that the stop mode of the reel may be changed. Is changed to the strongest cherry eye (stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of both the middle reel and the right reel). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (f) or FIG. 31 (j), the rotation of the reel is started, and the stop operation is validated when the rotation speed is constant.

  When the strong cherry eyes stopped when winning the strongest cherry, it was controlled at the same time as the start operation of the next game to freeze, suggesting the possibility of changing the reel stop mode by vibrating the reel up and down for a certain time Thereafter, the reel stop mode is changed to the strongest cherry eye (the stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of both the middle reel and the right reel). Thereafter, the reel starts to rotate, and the stop operation is validated when the rotation speed is constant.

  If the weak cherry eyes do not stop at the time of winning the weak cherry, the game is controlled to be frozen at the same time as the start operation of the next game, and the reels are vibrated up and down for a certain period of time as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 32 (c), the reel stop mode is changed to a weak cherry eye ("cherry" stops at the lower stage of the left reel and The stop mode is such that “BAR” does not stop at the middle stage of either the reel or the right reel. After that, if the freeze continues, as shown in FIGS. 32D, 32E, and 32F, after further suggesting the possibility that the reel stop mode is changed by vibrating the reel up and down for a certain period of time. Finally, the reel rotation is started without changing the reel stop mode from the weak cherry eyes, and the stop operation is validated when the rotation speed is constant. On the other hand, if the freeze does not continue after changing the reel stop mode to weak cherry, as shown in FIG. 32 (g), the reel starts to rotate as it is and stops when it reaches constant speed rotation. Enable the operation. Whether the freeze is continued after the reel stop mode is changed to a weak cherry is determined according to the freeze time selected at the start of the freeze state.

  If neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes are stopped when the strong cherry is won, the freeze operation is controlled simultaneously with the start operation of the next game, and the reels are fixed as shown in FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (b). After suggesting the possibility of the reel stop mode being changed by vibrating up and down for the time, as shown in FIG. 33 (c), the reel stop mode is set to weak cherry eyes (“Cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel In addition, the mode is changed to a stop mode in which “BAR” does not stop at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel. Thereafter, the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time to suggest the possibility that the stop mode of the reel may be changed, and then the reel stop mode is changed to a strong cherry as shown in FIG. Change to the eye (stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel). Thereafter, when the freeze continues, as shown in FIGS. 33 (f) (g) (h) or 33 (j) (k) (m), the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time. After suggesting the possibility of changing the stop mode, the reel starts to rotate without changing the reel stop mode from the strong cherry eyes, and the stop operation becomes effective when the rotation reaches a constant speed. . On the other hand, if the freeze does not continue after changing the reel stop mode to strong cherry, as shown in FIG. 33 (h) or FIG. 33 (m), rotation of the reel is started as it is and constant speed rotation is performed. At this point, the stop operation is enabled. Whether or not to continue the freeze after changing the reel stop mode to a strong cherry is determined according to the freeze time selected at the start of the freeze state.

  If neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes are stopped when winning the strongest cherry, the game is controlled to be frozen at the same time as the start operation of the next game, and the reels are kept constant as shown in FIGS. After suggesting the possibility of the reel stop mode being changed by vibrating up and down for the time, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), the reel stop mode is set to weak cherry eyes ("Cherry" stops at the lower stage of the left reel). In addition, the mode is changed to a stop mode in which “BAR” does not stop at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel. Thereafter, the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time to suggest the possibility that the stop mode of the reel may be changed. Then, as shown in FIG. 34 (e) or 34 (i), the reel stop mode is changed to a strong cherry. Change to the eye (stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of either the middle reel or the right reel). Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 34 (f) (g) or 34 (j) (k), the reel is further vibrated up and down for a certain period of time to suggest the possibility of changing the reel stop mode. Is changed to the strongest cherry eye (stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of both the middle reel and the right reel). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 34 (h) or FIG. 34 (m), the rotation of the reel is started, and the stop operation is validated when the rotation speed is constant.

  As described above, in this embodiment, strong cherries are won, but strong cherries cannot be stopped, weak cherries are stopped, and even if strong cherries cannot be identified, By performing control to change the weak cherry eyes to the strong cherry eyes, it is possible to make the player recognize the winning of the strong cherry.

  In addition, if you win a freeze lottery even when you win a weak cherry, control it to the frozen state, vibrate the reel up and down for a certain period of time as if the strong cherry wins and the weak cherry eyes stop. Since the possibility of changing the stop mode is suggested, the player's expectation for winning the strong cherry can be increased even when the weak cherry is won.

  In addition, even if the strongest cherry is elected, but the strongest cherry eyes cannot be stopped, the weak cherry eyes or the strong cherry eyes stop, and the winning of the strongest cherry cannot be specified, the strongest cherry in the subsequent freeze state By performing control to change to the eyes, it is possible to make the player recognize the winning of the strongest cherry. In addition, if the strongest cherry is elected, but the weak cherry eyes stop and the winning of the strongest cherry cannot be specified, then in the subsequent freeze state, the strong cherry is not changed from the weak cherry eyes to the strongest cherry eyes. After changing the eyes, the strongest cherry is selected, while the strong cherry is selected, but after the weak cherry is stopped and changed to the strong cherry in the frozen state, the strongest cherry is selected. However, it is suggested that the reels may be vibrated up and down for a certain period of time in the same way as when the weak cherry eyes are stopped. It is possible to increase the player's expectation for the change, that is, the winning of the strongest cherry.

  Also, in this embodiment, the weak cherry is won, but even if the weak cherry eyes cannot be stopped and the winning of the weak cherry cannot be specified, the control to change to the weak cherry in the subsequent freeze state is performed. By being performed, it is possible to make the player recognize the weak cherry win.

  In addition, even if the strong cherry is won, but neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes can be stopped and the winning of the strong cherry cannot be specified, the control is performed to change the strong cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state. It is possible to make the player recognize the winning of strong cherry.

  In addition, if the strong cherry is elected, but the weak cherry eyes and the strong cherry eyes cannot be stopped, and the winning of the strong cherry cannot be specified, it will be immediately changed to the strongest cherry eye in the frozen state. Instead, after changing to weak cherry eyes, it was changed to strong cherry eyes, while weak cherry was elected, but the weak cherry eyes did not stop and changed to weak cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state After that, it is suggested that the reel stop mode may be changed by shaking the reel up and down for a certain period of time as if the strong cherry was won and neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes stopped Even after weak cherry eyes stop in the state, it is possible to change to strong cherry eyes, that is, to increase the player's expectation for winning strong cherry. That.

  In addition, even if the strongest cherry is elected, but the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, and the strongest cherry eyes cannot be stopped, and the winning of the strongest cherry cannot be specified, it is changed to the strongest cherry eye in the subsequent freeze state By performing the control, the player can recognize the winning of the strongest cherry.

  In addition, the strongest cherry is elected, but if the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, and the strongest cherry eyes cannot be stopped, and the winning of the strongest cherry cannot be specified, immediately in the freeze state, the strongest cherry eyes It is not changed, but it is changed to weak cherry eyes, and after changing to strong cherry eyes, it is changed to the strongest cherry eyes, while strong cherry is elected, but both weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes Same as if it was changed to weak cherry eyes in the frozen state and then changed to strong cherry eyes, then the strongest cherry won, and the weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, and strongest cherry eyes did not stop. It is suggested that the reel stop mode may be changed by vibrating the reel up and down for a certain period of time. , Even after the further strength Cherry eye is stopped, it is changed to the strongest cherry eyes, that it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the winner of the strongest cherry.

  In this embodiment, when the strongest cherry is won and the weak cherry eyes are stopped, after changing to the strong cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state, it is changed to the strongest cherry eyes. It may be configured to change to the strongest cherry immediately from the eyes, or when the strongest cherry wins and the weak cherry eyes stop, after changing to the strong cherry eyes in the frozen state, change to the strongest cherry eyes It is good also as a structure provided with both the structure to be changed and the structure changed from the weak cherry eyes immediately to the strongest cherry eyes.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strong cherry is won and neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes are stopped, after changing to the weak cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state, the structure is changed to the strong cherry eyes. However, it may be configured to change to strong cherry eyes immediately, and if strong cherry wins and neither weak cherry eyes nor strong cherry eyes stop, it is changed to weak cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state. After that, it may be configured to have both a configuration that is changed to a strong cherry eye and a configuration that is immediately changed to a strong cherry eye.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the strongest cherry is won and neither the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, nor the strongest cherry eyes are stopped, the eyes are changed to weak cherry eyes and changed to strong cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state. After that, the structure is changed to the strongest cherry eye, but it may be changed immediately to the strongest cherry eye, or after changing to one of the weak cherry eyes or the strong cherry eyes, it is changed to the strongest cherry eyes. If the strongest cherry is elected and the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, and the strongest cherry eyes do not stop, it is changed to weak cherry eyes in the subsequent freeze state, and changed to strong cherry eyes After changing to the strongest cherry eyes, immediately changing to the strongest cherry eyes, after changing to one of weak or strong cherry eyes Configuration includes two configurations of the constituent to change strongest cherry eye, or may be configured to provide all configurations of these configurations.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average value of the number of games to be added are set higher when the strong cherry is won than when the weak cherry is won. Rather than the weak cherry eyes stopped, the strong cherry eyes will stop because the highest winning probability of the number of games of ART and the average value of the number of games to be added are set higher at the time of winning the strongest cherry However, in addition to or in place of such a configuration, for example, a stronger cherry than when a weak cherry is stopped When the eyes are stopped, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average number of games to be added are set higher, and the strongest check is higher than when the strong cherry eyes are stopped. -When the eyes are stopped, the winning probability of adding the number of ART games and the average value of the number of games to be added are set higher, so that the strong cherry eyes stop than when the weak cherry eyes stop A situation may be suggested in which the situation is more advantageous for the player, and the situation in which the player is more advantageous for the player when the strongest cherry eye is stopped than when the strong cherry eye is stopped may be adopted.

  And in a configuration that suggests a situation that is more advantageous for the player when the strong cherry eyes are stopped than when the weak cherry eyes are stopped, when the weak cherry eyes are stopped, the strong cherry is not won Even in this case, it may be configured to perform change control to change the weak cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes in this freeze state by winning the promotion lottery, etc. Even if the weak cherry eyes are stopped, it can be expected to be changed to the strong cherry eyes that suggest a situation advantageous to the player.

  Also, it is suggested that the situation is more advantageous for the player when the strong cherry eyes stop than when the weak cherry eyes stop, and when the strongest cherry eyes stop than when the strong cherry eyes stop In a configuration that suggests an advantageous situation for the player, when the weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes stop, even if the strongest cherry is not elected, it is controlled to the frozen state by winning the promotion lottery etc. In this freeze state, it may be configured to perform change control to change the weak cherry eyes or the strong cherry eyes to the strongest cherry eyes. By adopting such a configuration, even when the weak cherry eyes or the strong cherry eyes are stopped, It can be expected to be changed to the strongest cherry eye suggesting a more advantageous situation for the player.

  In addition, when performing change control to change from weak cherry eyes to strongest cherry eyes, change control to change from weak cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes and then change control to change from strong cherry eyes to strongest cherry eyes. By doing so, instead of changing directly from the weak cherry eyes to the strongest cherry eyes, after changing to the strong cherry eyes, it is changed to the strongest cherry eyes, so weak By changing from cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes, it can be expected to change to the strongest cherry eyes that suggest a situation more advantageous to the player than the strong cherry eyes.

  It also suggests that the player is better off when the weak cherry eyes stop than when the weak cherry eyes do not stop, and the strong cherry eyes stop more than when the weak cherry eyes stop. In a configuration in which a situation that is more advantageous to the player is suggested, if neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes are stopped, either the weak cherry or the strong cherry is not won or the strong cherry is won Even if it is not, it will be controlled to freeze state by winning the promotion lottery etc., and change control to change the eyes other than weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes in this frozen state will be changed to weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes The configuration may be good, and even if the weak cherry eyes and the strong cherry eyes do not stop, such a configuration is advantageous for the player. There can be expected to be changed to the weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eye is suggested.

  In addition, when performing change control to change from an appearance other than weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes, change control to change from outputs other than weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes to weak cherry eyes is performed. After that, it is also possible to perform a change control to change from weak cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes, and in this way, it is changed directly from strong cherry eyes to those other than weak cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes. Rather than being changed to weak cherry eyes after being changed to weak cherry eyes, changing to weak cherry eyes from weak cherry eyes and other than strong cherry eyes, then further weak cherry It can be expected to change to a strong cherry eye that suggests a situation more advantageous to the player than the eye.

  It also suggests that the player is better off when the weak cherry eyes stop than when the weak cherry eyes do not stop, and the strong cherry eyes stop more than when the weak cherry eyes stop. In such a configuration, a situation in which the player is more advantageous to the player is suggested, and a situation in which the player is more advantageous when the strongest cherry eye is stopped than when the strong cherry eye is stopped If neither the strong cherry nor the strongest cherry stops, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, or the strongest cherry is not won, or the strong cherry or the strongest cherry is not won, or the strongest cherry is not won However, by winning the promotion lottery, etc., it is then controlled to the frozen state. It may be configured to perform change control to change the eyes other than cherry eyes to weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, or strongest cherry eyes. By adopting such a configuration, the weak cherry eyes and the strong cherry eyes are the strongest cherry eyes. Even if it does not stop, it can be expected to change to a weak cherry eye, a strong cherry eye, or a strongest cherry eye that suggests a favorable situation for the player.

  In addition, when performing change control to change from an eye other than weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, and strongest cherry eyes to weakest cherry eyes, weak cherry eyes from other than weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, and strongest cherry eyes. After performing change control to change eyes, change control to change from weak cherry eyes to strong cherry eyes may be performed, and change control to change from strong cherry eyes to strongest cherry eyes may be further performed. By changing to weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes and strong cherry eyes, instead of directly changing to strong cherry eyes, it is changed to weak cherry eyes, then changed to strong cherry eyes, and Since it is changed to the strongest cherry eye, it is changed to weak cherry eyes from weak cherry eyes, strong cherry eyes, and other than the strongest cherry eyes, or weak cherry eyes From the strong by being changed to cherry eyes, then, it can be expected that the favorable situation for further weakness cherry eyes or strong cherry second player than is changed to the strongest cherry eyes is suggested.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the weak cherry eyes did not stop when the weak cherry was won, when the strong cherry eyes did not stop when the strong cherry was won, or when neither the weak cherry eyes nor the strong cherry eyes stopped If the strongest cherry eyes do not stop when the strongest cherry is elected, the strong cherry eyes, the strongest cherry eyes do not stop, or the weak cherry eyes, the strong cherry eyes, and the strongest cherry eyes do not stop It is controlled to the freeze state, and it is a configuration that is changed according to the internal lottery result, but even in the above case, the freeze lottery is performed, and if the freeze lottery is not won, the freeze state is not controlled It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the outcome is not changed. By adopting such a configuration, even if the outcome is not changed and the outcome is not changed, the cherry is strong. Since could have won strongest cherry leaves, such a case is a also strong cherry, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for it has won the strongest cherry.

  In this embodiment, the configuration is controlled to freeze in the next game at the time of winning the weak cherry, strong cherry, and strongest cherry. It is good also as a structure to be performed.

  Next, a first modification of the reel stop control performed by the main control unit 41 when the strong cherry is won will be described.

  In the above embodiment, when a strong cherry is won, the right reel has a stronger cherry eye than the middle reel regardless of the stop order of the middle reel and the right reel when the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. This is a configuration in which the rate of stopping the specified stop mode is high.

  On the other hand, in the first modification, in the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, either the middle reel or the right reel that stops later is stopped first according to the stopping order of the middle reel and the right reel. The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified as compared with the reels set is set to be higher in the stopping rate.

  Specifically, in a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, if the middle reel is stopped before the right reel, the pull-in range of “BAR” is obtained in the middle reel as in the above-described embodiment. When the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing when No. 11 or No. 15 is located at the lower stage among the timings at which No. 11 to No. 15 are located at the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the right reel With regard to, control is performed to stop symbols other than “BAR” in the middle of the right reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Further, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing at which the 12th to 14th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 11th to 15th positions in the middle reel, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, are located at the lower stage, or the middle reel When the middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range 11 to 15 is positioned at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the right reel When the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of the “BAR” in the right reel, is positioned in the lower stage, the “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the right reel and the right reel If the right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is positioned at the lower stage, Performs control to stop the symbols other than BAR. "

  On the other hand, when the right reel is stopped prior to the middle reel in a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, as shown in FIG. When the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing when No. 15 or No. 19 is located at the lower stage among the timings at which No. 19 is located at the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and the middle reel Performs control to stop symbols other than “BAR” in the middle stage of the middle reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Further, when the right reel is stopped at the timing when the 16th to 18th positions are located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 15th to 19th positions that are the “BAR” pull-in range in the right reel are located, or the right reel When the right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range No. 15-19 is located at the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, In the middle reel, when the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing when the number 11 to 15 which is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located in the lower stage, the “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel, If a middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which No. 11-15, which is the pull-in range of “BAR”, is positioned at the lower stage, Performs control to stop the symbols other than BAR. "

  As described above, in the first modification, even when the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating when the strong cherry is won, the middle reel is stopped first or the right reel is stopped first. It is possible to stop the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified, and the stop mode in which the reel that is stopped later among the middle reel and the right reel is specified more strongly than the reel that is stopped first. In the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the reel that has been stopped later among the rotating middle reel and the right reel is more than the reel that has been stopped first. However, the player's sense of expectation to become strong cherry eyes when either the rotating middle reel or the right reel is stopped first is easy. It can be sustained.

  In the first modification, since the “BAR” in which the strong cherry is specified is arranged beyond the pull-in range for both the right reel and the middle reel, the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. In this case, even if the reel that is stopped later among the rotating middle reel and the right reel is the middle reel or the right reel, if the stop operation is performed outside the pull-in range of “BAR”, “BAR” is Although it is a configuration that does not stop, all of the “BARs” in which the strong cherries are specified on the right reel and the middle reel are arranged so as to be in the pull-in range, “BAR” in which strong cherry eyes are specified regardless of whether the timing of the stop operation is No. 0 to 20 regardless of whether the reel stopped later among the middle reel and the right reel is the middle reel or the right reel. A configuration that can be stopped, that is, a configuration that can always stop the “BAR” in which strong cherry eyes are specified regardless of the timing of the stop operation, is possible. Even when “BAR” does not stop at the middle stage of the reel that stopped first among the middle reel and the right reel at the time of winning the strong cherry, “BAR” that identifies the strong cherry at the middle stage of the reel that stopped later By always stopping, it can be surely suggested to the player that the player has a strong cherry eye, that is, a situation that is more advantageous to the player than when the player has a weak cherry eye.

  Next, a second modification of the reel stop control performed by the main control unit 41 when the strong cherry is won will be described.

  In the above embodiment, when a strong cherry is won, when the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, and the middle reel is stopped at a specific timing, “BAR”, that is, a strong In contrast to stopping the stop mode in which the cherry eyes are specified, when a stop operation of the middle reel is performed at a timing other than the specific timing, symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, When a symbol other than “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel, the stop mode in which “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle stage of the right reel, is controlled to be stopped.

  On the other hand, in the second modification, in a situation where the left reel is already stopped and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, when the stop operation of the stopped left reel is performed at a specific timing, After that, while the stop mode in which “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle stage of the middle reel, is controlled so as to be stopped, the stopped operation of the stopped left reel is performed at a timing other than the stop specific timing. If a symbol other than “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel, and a symbol other than “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel, “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye The stop mode specified by is controlled to be stoppable.

  Specifically, when the strong cherry is won, the left, middle and right stop order is set, and the left reel has the “BAR” pull-in range (the pull-in range where the “cherry” stops at the bottom). When the operation of stopping the left reel is performed at the position at which it is positioned, as shown in FIG. 36, “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the “BAR” pull-in range is set to 6 to 10 in the left reel. When the left reel is stopped at the timing when the number 6 is located at the lower position of the lower reel and the “cherry” is stopped at the lower position of the left reel, the “BAR” When the middle reel stop operation is performed at the timing when the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range, is positioned at the lower stage, the “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the right reel Performs control to stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the symbol other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  Further, the left reel is operated to stop at the timing at which the No. 7 or No. 9 position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 6 to 10 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the left reel, and the lower stage of the left reel. When the “Cherry” stops in the middle reel, or when the middle reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range No. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned in the lower row, The symbols other than “BAR” are stopped, and for the right reel, when the right reel is stopped at the timing when the number 15 to 19 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel is located in the lower stage, the right reel “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage, and the right reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel are located at the lower stage. If the work has been carried out, it performs control to stop a pattern other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  When the left reel stop operation is performed at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the left reel, is positioned at the lower stage when the strong cherry is won, and in the left reel As shown in FIG. 38, the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the operation of stopping the right reel is performed at the timing when the numbers 15 to 19 that are the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned at the lower stage. In this case, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and for the middle reel, a control other than “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. For the middle reel, the left reel is stopped at the timing at which the 6th or 10th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 6th to 10th positions that are the “BAR” pull-in range are located at the lower stage on the left reel. When the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, as shown in FIG. 37, the middle reel has a timing at which the 11th through 15th areas that are the “BAR” pull-in range are positioned at the lower stage. When a stop operation is performed, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the 6th to 10th positions that are the “BAR” pull-in range of the left reel are located at the lower stage When the left reel is stopped at the timing when the No. 7 to No. 9 are positioned in the lower stage and “Cherry” is stopped in the lower stage of the left reel, or the No. 11 to No. 15 that is the “BAR” pull-in range in the middle reel When a middle reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the second reel is positioned at the lower stage, as shown in FIG. 38, control for stopping symbols other than “BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel is performed.

  In the case where the first reel other than the left reel is set as the first stop when the strong cherry is won, the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing when the 6th to 10th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the left reel, is positioned in the lower stage. When the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, the left reel is stopped when the left reel is operated at a timing other than the timing at which the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 6 to 10 are positioned at the lower stage. Control is performed so that “cherry” is not stopped at any of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the reels.

  For the middle reel and the right reel, when the middle reel is stopped before the right reel, symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel regardless of the timing of the stopping operation. For the reel, when the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the pull-in range of the “BAR” in the right reel, is positioned in the lower stage, the “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the right reel, Stops symbols other than “BAR” in the middle of the right reel when the right reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing when the 15th to 19th, which is the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel, is positioned in the lower stage To control.

  Also, when the right reel is stopped before the middle reel, the right reel is stopped at the timing at which the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range of the right reel are positioned in the lower stage. In addition, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, and for the middle reel, control other than “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation. In addition, when a right reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the numbers 15 to 19 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel are positioned in the lower stage, a symbol other than “BAR” is displayed in the middle stage of the right reel. The middle reel is controlled to stop symbols other than “BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  As described above, when the strong cherry is won in the second modification, the 6th to 10th positions in the left reel, which are the “BAR” pull-in range (the pull-in range in which the “cherry” is stopped at the lower level), are positioned at the lower level. When the left reel is stopped, “Cherry” stops at the bottom of the left reel, and for the middle and right reels, “Cherry” stops at the bottom of the left reel. Control is performed so that only one of the reels can stop “BAR” in the middle stage. At this time, with respect to the middle reel, in the range of two specific symbols out of the five symbol ranges that are the “BAR” pull-in range (the “cherry” pull-in pull-in range where the “cherry” stops at the lower stage) ”on the stopped left reel. Only when the stop operation of the left reel is performed and the stop operation of the middle reel is performed at the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range is reached in the middle reel, the control for stopping the “BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel is performed. On the other hand, for the right reel, the left reel stops in any of the five symbol ranges that become the “BAR” pull-in range (the “cherry” pull-in pull-in range in the lower stage) in the stopped left reel. Even when the operation is performed, the control operation for stopping “BAR” in the middle stage of the right reel by performing the stop operation of the right reel at the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range is reached in the right reel. It is carried out. That is, the control is performed so that the rate at which “BAR” stops in the middle stage is higher in the right reel than in the middle reel. In addition, if the “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” cannot be stopped at the middle stage for both the middle reel and the right reel, the aforementioned weak cherry eyes will stop. It becomes. In addition, even when the strong cherry is not won, “BAR” may stop at the middle stage of one of the middle reel and the right reel, and the timing at which the numbers 6 to 10 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” are located at the lower stage on the left reel. If the “cherry” does not stop at the bottom of the left reel even though the left reel is stopped, the strong cherry win is denied.

  In the second modification, the strong cherry eyes can be stopped regardless of the reel stop order when the strong cherry is won, but the strong cherry eyes are stopped only when the left reel is set to the first stop. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which “BAR” does not stop in the middle stage of the weak cherry eyes, that is, the middle reel and the right reel, when the first reel is stopped except for the left reel.

  As described above, in the second modification, when the weak cherry is won, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped in both the middle reel and the right reel. On the other hand, when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already stopped. In the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, when the left reel is stopped at a specific timing, “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle stage of the middle reel. In the case where the left reel is stopped at a timing other than a specific timing, symbols other than “BAR” are stopped at the middle of the middle reel, and “ When a symbol other than “BAR” is stopped, the stop mode in which “BAR”, that is, a strong cherry eye is specified in the middle stage of the right reel, is controlled to be stopped. For this reason, when the left reel is already stopped and the middle reel is stopped in a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified in the middle reel does not stop. Even in such a case, since it becomes possible to identify the strong cherry eyes by stopping the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel is stopped. Even if not, it is suggested that strong cherries that are likely to be more advantageous to the player than the weak cherries identified by the weak cherries are elected until the right reel stops. Can maintain the player's expectation of becoming a strong cherry.

  In particular, in the second modification, in a situation where the left reel is already stopped and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the pull-in range of “BAR” (“Cherry” stops at the lower stage in the stopped left reel) When the left reel is stopped at the timing at which the 6th or 10th position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the 6th to 10th positions are located at the lower stage, “BAR” can be stopped at the middle stage, and the timing at which the 6th to 10th positions that are the “BAR” pull-in range (the pull-in range of the stop mode in which “Cherry” stops at the lower stage) in the stopped left reel is located at the lower stage. When the left reel is stopped at the timing when the seventh to ninth positions are located in the lower stage, the symbols other than “BAR” are stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel. That is, the left reel is stopped at the pull-in range timing of the stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, and at the timing of the mid-reel at the timing of the pull-in range of the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified on the middle reel. Even if the stop operation is performed, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel may not stop. Therefore, the stop operation is aimed at the “cherry” on the lower stage of the left reel, and the strong cherry eyes on the middle reel. Even if the stop operation with the strong cherry eyes specified for the middle reel does not stop despite the stop operation aiming at the specified stop mode, the weak cherry will continue until the right reel stops. A strong check suggesting that a strong cherry that is likely to be more advantageous to the player than when the weak cherry specified by the eye is won It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for it to be over eyes.

  In the second modification, the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are provided with three reels. Of these, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. When a stop operation is performed on a left reel that has been stopped at a specific timing, a stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified on the middle reel can be stopped, but stopped at a timing other than the specific timing. When the stop operation of the left reel is not stopped, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel is not stopped, and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel is not stopped. The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified on the right reel is controlled to be stoppable. In the configuration including at least three reels, the third reel is already stopped. In a situation where the first reel and the second reel are still rotating, when the third reel that has been stopped at a specific timing is stopped, a strong cherry eye is identified on the first reel. The stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified for the first reel when a stop operation is performed on the third reel that has already been stopped at a timing other than the specific timing. If the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the first reel is not stopped, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the second reel is controlled to be stopable. For example, when the first reel is stopped in a situation where the third reel is already stopped and the first reel and the second reel are still rotating, the strong cherry eyes are identified on the first reel. Stop mode to be stopped Even in such a case, since it becomes possible to identify the strong cherry eyes by stopping the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified on the second reel, the strong cherry eyes are identified on the first reel. Even if the stop mode does not stop, there is a strong cherry that is likely to be more advantageous to the player than the time of winning the weak cherry specified by the weak cherry eyes until the second reel stops. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for becoming a strong cherry eye that is suggested to be winning.

  Further, in the second modification, when the strong cherry is won, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified in the middle reel is stopped in a situation where the left reel is already stopped and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. If there is not, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel is stopped when the right reel stop operation is performed at the timing of the pull-in range of the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel. Although the left reel is already stopped when the strong cherry is won, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel did not stop. In the case where the right reel is stopped at a part of the timing within the pull-in range of the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified in the right reel, It strongly Cherry th Le may be configured to stop the stop mode specified, regardless of the stop timing of the right reel, strong cherry eyes to the right reel may be configured to stop the stop mode specified.

  In the second modification, the left reel is stopped at a part of the timing of the “BAR” pull-in range (the pull-in range of the stop mode in which “Cherry” stops at the lower stage) in the stopped left reel. When the operation is performed, the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are identified on the middle reel is stopped. At least when the stopped left reel is stopped at a specific timing, the middle reel The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified is stopped, and when the stopped left reel is stopped at a timing other than the specific timing, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel is stopped. It is sufficient if the configuration is such that the “BAR” pull-in range (the “cherry” pull-in range where the “cherry” stops in the lower position) ”is used for the stopped left reel. In the timing when the stopping operation of the left reel is performed, it may be configured to stop the stop mode the intensity cherry eyes to the center reel is identified.

  Further, in the second modification example, even when the weak cherry is won and the strong cherry is won, the “BAR” pull-in range is obtained in the left reel when all of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are rotating. When the left reel is stopped at the timing when Nos. 6 to 10 are positioned at the lower stage, the “cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel. The left reel is set as the first stop, and the left reel By stopping “Cherry” in the lower row, it becomes possible to make the player recognize that either weak cherry or strong cherry is winning, that is, weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes Then, in order to specify whether the eyes become weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes, attention can be paid to the stop mode of the middle reel and the right reel.

  In the second modification, the “cherry” on the left reel is disposed beyond the pull-in range, so the timing at which “cherry” can be pulled into the lower stage of the left reel (the “BAR” If you do not stop the left reel at the time the 6th to 10th pulling range is located in the lower stage), even if a weak cherry or a strong cherry is selected, you can stop the “cherry” in the lower stage of the left reel. Although it is a configuration that can not be done, by placing the `` cherry '' of the left reel at an interval that falls within the pull-in range, regardless of the timing of the left reel stop operation when winning a weak cherry or a strong cherry, It may be a configuration that stops the “cherry”, that is, a configuration that stops the outcome suggesting the winning of the weak cherry or the strong cherry, It is possible to make the player recognize that either cherry or strong cherry is winning, that is, weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes, and then it becomes weak cherry eyes or strong cherry eyes In order to identify whether or not, the stop mode of the middle reel and the right reel can be noted.

  In the second modification, “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, or “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the right reel, whereby the strong cherry eyes are specified. That is, both the stop mode in which the strong cherry is specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry is specified in the right reel are both stop modes in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage. The player can be made aware.

  In particular, both the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are both the stop mode in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage, that is, common to a common position. Since it is a stop mode in which the symbol stops, it is further easier for the player to recognize that it is a strong cherry eye.

  In the second modification, both the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are both stop modes in which “BAR” stops in the middle stage. However, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel may be different. Even if the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified in the right reel are different, for example, the strong cherry eyes are specified in the middle reel. The stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are identified in the right reel and the stop mode in which the symbols with similar shapes and colors are stopped at a common position are used to easily become strong cherry eyes. Can be recognized.

  In the second modification, when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. Even if the middle reel is stopped first, the right reel is Even if it is stopped first, it is possible to stop the stop mode in which strong cherry eyes are specified. The middle reel is less likely to stop “BAR” in the middle stage than the right reel, and the right reel Since “BAR” is easier to stop in the middle stage than in the middle reel, the left reel has already stopped, and the middle cherry and the right reel are still rotating. By selecting whether to stop the right reel that is easy to derive the mode first, or stop the middle reel that is difficult to derive the stop mode that identifies the strong cherry eye first, it is possible to quickly determine whether or not it is a strong cherry eye. Sense Kusuru whether, or to sustain the sense of expectation to be a strong cherry eyes, can be selected.

  In the second modification, when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. Even if it is stopped first, it is possible to stop the “BAR” in the middle stage, that is, to stop the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified, but when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already In a situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, the specific reel of the middle reel and the right reel is stopped first, and the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified on the specific reel is stopped. Only in the case where the failure has not been achieved, the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified on the other reel can be stopped.

  Further, in the second modification, even when the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating when the strong cherry is won, the middle reel is stopped first or the right reel is stopped first. It is possible to stop the stop mode in which the cherry eyes are specified, and the right reel is configured to have a higher ratio of stopping the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified compared to the middle reel. However, even when the middle reel has a configuration in which the ratio of stoppages in which the strong cherry eyes are specified is set higher than the right reel, it is easier to quickly detect whether the cherry eyes are strong. You can choose whether to maintain your expectations for strong cherry eyes.

  Next, a third modification of the reel stop control performed by the main control unit 41 when the strong cherry is won will be described.

  In the second modification, when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating, compared to the middle reel regardless of the stopping order of the middle reel and the right reel. The right reel is configured to have a higher rate of stopping in the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified.

  On the other hand, in the third modified example, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are placed later according to the stop order of the middle reel and the right reel in the situation where the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. The stopped reel is set such that the stopping ratio in which the strong cherry eyes are identified is higher than that of the previously stopped reel.

  Specifically, when the strong cherry is won, the left, middle and right stop order is set, and the left reel has the “BAR” pull-in range (the pull-in range where the “cherry” stops at the bottom). When a left reel stop operation is performed at the position at which it is positioned, “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the timing at which Nos. 6 to 10 that are the pull-in range of “BAR” are positioned at the lower stage on the left reel When the left reel stop operation is performed at the timing when No. 6 or No. 10 is located in the lower stage and “Cherry” is stopped in the lower stage of the left reel, the “BAR” pull-in range is set in the middle reel. When the middle reel is stopped at the timing when No. 15 is positioned at the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel, and the stop operation timing is set for the right reel. Regardless of the grayed, it performs control to stop a pattern other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel. Further, the left reel is operated to stop at the timing at which the No. 7 or No. 9 position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 6 to 10 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the left reel, and the lower stage of the left reel. When the “Cherry” stops in the middle reel, or when the middle reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range No. 11 to 15 in the middle reel is positioned in the lower row, The symbols other than “BAR” are stopped, and for the right reel, when the right reel is stopped at the timing when the number 15 to 19 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the right reel is located in the lower stage, the right reel “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage, and the right reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which the 15th to 19th positions in the “BAR” pull-in range on the right reel are located at the lower stage. If the work has been carried out, it performs control to stop a pattern other than the "BAR" in the middle of the right reel.

  On the other hand, when winning a strong cherry, the left and right are in the stop order, and the 6th to 10th, which is the pulling range of “BAR” (the pulling range of the stopping mode in which “cherry” stops in the lower row) on the left reel, is located in the lower row. When the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing, “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and among the timings at which the No. 6 to No. 10 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” are positioned at the lower stage of the left reel When the left reel is stopped at the timing when No. 6 or No. 10 is positioned at the lower stage and “Cherry” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, as shown in FIG. When stop operation of the right reel is performed at the timing when the No. 15-19 in the pull-in range is located in the lower stage, “BAR” is stopped in the middle stage of the right reel, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, it performs control to stop the symbol other than the "BAR" on the middle reel. Further, the left reel is operated to stop at the timing at which the No. 7 or No. 9 position is located at the lower stage among the timings at which the No. 6 to 10 that is the pull-in range of “BAR” is located at the lower stage in the left reel, and the lower stage of the left reel. If the “Cherry” stops in the middle of the right reel, or if the right reel stops at a timing other than the timing when the “BAR” pull-in range Nos. 15 to 19 in the right reel is positioned in the lower stage, Symbols other than “BAR” are stopped. For the middle reel, when the middle reel is stopped at the timing when the 11th to 15th, which is the pull-in range of “BAR” in the middle reel, is positioned at the lower stage, the middle reel "BAR" is stopped at the middle stage, and the middle reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which the 11th to 15th positions that are the "BAR" pull-in range of the middle reel are located at the lower stage. If the work has been carried out, it performs control to stop a pattern other than the "BAR" in the middle of the middle reel.

  As described above, in the third modification, when the strong cherry is won, the left reel is already stopped, and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating. Even if the middle reel is stopped first, the right reel It is possible to stop the stop mode in which the strong cherry eyes are specified even if the reel is stopped first, and the reel that is stopped later among the middle reel and the right reel is more than the reel that is stopped first. In the situation where the left reel has already stopped and the middle reel and the right reel are still rotating by setting a high stopping ratio in which the strong cherry eyes are identified, the middle reel and the right spinning Of the reels, the reel that was stopped later is easier to stop than the reel that was stopped first, so it is easier to stop, so either the rotating middle reel or the right reel is stopped first. Even if, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for it to be a strong cherry eyes.
