  In the present embodiment, these various replay combinations are replay combinations that determine the above-described replay grant based on winning. Further, in the above-mentioned re-game, the player can play a variable game without betting the number of bets, and no prize medal is given to the player (one or more prize medals are given). do not do). For this reason, the player does not obtain award medal based on the winning of the replay role.

  Further, in the present embodiment, “cherry role”, “watermelon role”, “bell role”, and “replay role” that allow the occurrence of winning of each award such as payout of award medals or replaying by winning of each award mode. The winning role is a small role.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 10 is equipped with an RT function (re-gamer probability changing function) that controls the general game by changing the winning probability of the replayer. This general game is controlled to a state according to the operation mode of the RT function, and is controlled to a state according to the type during the operation of the RT function.

  For this reason, in the general game with the RT function, the RT function may be controlled to a low-probability RT game in which the winning function of the combined replay role is set to the low-probability lottery state (low probability). is there. Moreover, in the general game with the RT function, the RT function is activated and the winning probability of the combined replay role is changed (improved) from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state (high probability). Or it may be controlled by high-definition RT2 game. In the following description, a general game controlled by a low probability RT game is referred to as a “low probability RT game”, a general game controlled by a high probability RT1 game is referred to as a “high probability RT1 game”, and a high probability RT2 game. The general game to be controlled is referred to as “high-precision RT2 game”.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislot machine 10 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.
A main control board 40 that controls the entire gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the pachislot machine 10. The main control board 40 executes various processes for controlling the entire gaming machine, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. In addition, a sub-control board 41 that executes effect control according to the control state is mounted on the rear side of the machine. The sub-control board 41 receives various control signals output from the main control board 40 and executes predetermined control based on the control signals.

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

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbols (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. . The left reel 13L corresponds to the first position signal, the middle reel 13C corresponds to the second position signal, and the right reel 13R corresponds to the third position signal. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a grasps the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the first to third position signals, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the first to third position signals. Do. The medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected is input to the main control CPU 40a every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

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

  The main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each control state and for each winning information group are determined as allocation ranges of the winning combination determining random numbers. Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3, and T4 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B will be described.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of the winning information group to be the lottery object and the winning probability of each winning information group to be the lottery object (random values distributed to each winning information group to be the lottery object (in the range of random values) A table of the number based on the control state is stored. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the control state. In general games, the winning combination determination table T1 for the low probability RT game, the winning combination determination table T2 for the high probability RT1 game, the winning combination determination table T3 for the high probability RT2 game, and the winning combination determination table T4 for the BN game, respectively. It is associated.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination tables T1 to T3, winning probabilities of the BN combination, the cherry combination, the watermelon combination, the bell combination, and the replay combination are defined. In general games, the probability of winning a replay role is higher in the probability RT1 game (1 / 1.7) and the higher probability RT2 game (1 / 1.7) compared to the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). Random numbers that are determined to win the winning combination are distributed. In the present embodiment, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of each winning combination including the replay combination is the same in the high probability RT1 game and the high probability RT2 game.

  For this reason, in the high probability RT1 game and the high probability RT2 game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player is reduced as much as replay is easily given. The player can be given the benefit of Such a high probability RT1 game or a high probability RT2 game is advantageous to the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the winning probability of the above-mentioned replay role is the winning information in which the duplicated winnings of the normal replay role and the special replay role are associated with each other in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). Specifies the sum of the winning probabilities for each group. In the winning information group in which the overlapping winnings of the normal replay role and the special replay role are associated, a special overlapping replay group 1, a special overlapping replay group 2, a special overlapping replay group 3, and a special overlapping replay group 4 are set. .

  In addition, the winning probability of the above-mentioned replay role is the winning information group in which the single winning of the normal replay role is associated with the high probability RT1 game (winning role determination table T2), and the normal winning of the replay role and the falling replay role. It defines the sum of winning probabilities for the winning information group associated with each other and the winning information group associated with the overlapping winning combination of the normal replay role and the SP replay role. A fall overlap replay group 1, a fall overlap replay group 2, and a fall overlap replay group 3 are set in the winning information group that associates the overlap winnings of the normal replay role and the fall replay role. In addition, an SP overlapping replay group 7 is set in the winning information group in which the overlapping winnings of the normal replay role and the SP replay role are associated with each other.

  In addition, the winning probability of the above-mentioned replay role is the winning probability of each of the winning information groups in which the overlapping winnings of the normal replay role, the special replay role, and the SP replay role are associated with each other in the highly accurate RT2 game (winning role determination table T3). Of the sum of In the winning information group in which the normal winning combination of the normal replaying role, the special replaying role and the SP replaying role is associated, the SP overlapping replaying group 1, the SP overlapping replaying group 2, the SP overlapping replaying group 3, the SP overlapping replaying group 4, SP An overlapping replay group 5 and an SP overlapping replay group 6 are set.

  In addition, the winning probability of the bell combination shown in FIG. 5A defines the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning information groups associated with the bell combination. In the winning information group for the bell role, a bell group 1, a bell group 2, and a bell group 3 are set.

  In the following description, the phrase “winning a normal replay role” means winning a winning information group associated with a single winning of a normal replay role. The term “special replay winning” means winning of the special overlapping replay groups 1 to 4. In addition, the term “winning of the fall replay combination” means winning of the fall overlap replay groups 1 to 3. In addition, “SP winning of SP replay role” means winning of SP overlapping replay groups 1 to 7. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role”, it means winning of the bell groups 1 to 3. The term “cherry winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single winning cherry. The term “watermelon winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single watermelon winning.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination table T4, winning probabilities for the cherry, watermelon, and bell roles are defined. In the winning combination determination table T4, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the BN combination and the replay combination are not targeted for the lottery. In the winning combination determination table T4, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning combination probability of the bell combination is significantly higher than that of the general game.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the bell role is greatly increased as compared with general games, the medal possessed by the player is increased by the amount that it is easy to win the bell role and easily obtain the award medal. Can do. Such a BN game is advantageous to the player.

  In general games, the winning combination probability of a small combination is set to a predetermined probability in a winning combination determination table in a bonus standby state to be described later. When winning the BN combination in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with the winning of another winning combination (small combination or out of combination).

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

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern indicating the light emission mode of the lamp R. Is remembered. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub-status information (such as a flag) related to the control status in the sub-control RAM 41c.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and various controls. Further, when paying out award medals based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. The main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the bet number when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each BET button 19 or 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be performed when setting the bet number of 3 bets.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and whether the value belongs to the value range of each winning information group of the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning information group to be won using a winning combination determination table corresponding to the control state. In this way, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination associated with the selected information group by determining the winning information group. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets the state information (flag or the like) indicating the control state in the main control RAM 40c and grasps the control state. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the role lottery in this way functions as a winning combination determining means.

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

  The main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the player detects the operation of the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and the lottery result of the role lottery and A variable game start command indicating a control state in which the variable game is performed is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This variable game start command instructs a combination of a plurality of combination information if the winning combination is duplicate. The main control CPU 40a controls each reel so as to start the rotating operation of each reel in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game by detecting the operation of the start lever 22 by the player. . Further, the variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) can be output in accordance with the start of the rotation operation of each reel.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on a position signal from a reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the main control CPU 40a knows the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel. Let The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

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

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player based on the determined winning information group. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, and the timing of the stop operation by the player does not match the timing at which each reel stops (so-called so-called). , “Slip”). For example, in the control with “slip”, when the timing of the stop operation by the player for the symbol to be stopped is early, each reel is forced to slide in the fluctuation direction of each reel and the symbol to be stopped is stopped on the winning line. Let

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

  Specifically, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination). Further, when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination), the main control CPU 40a preferentially stops and displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role.

  On the other hand, when the BN role is won, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing. However, if the stop eye corresponding to the small role cannot be displayed, the “chance eye” indicating that there is a possibility of winning the BN role is stopped. This “chance” is not displayed when the winning combination is won, but can be displayed when the cherry or watermelon combination is overlooked. In this case, the BN combination is missed (combination of combination information).

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

Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the watermelon role is won.
In addition, any winning combination of the small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the outage stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the bell role will be described.
In the present embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when the bell combination is won.

  In this embodiment, for each bell group, a bell winning push order for stopping and displaying the bell stop eye is defined. Also, in order to cope with this, the order of pushing the bell spilling to stop and display the bell spilling stop of the dedicated stop eye (for example, [Bell / Bell / Watermelon]) is determined for each bell group. ing.

  The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye on the winning line by using the bell winning order based on the winning of the bell role. This bell stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell spilling stop eye on the winning line by the pushing order for bell spilling based on the winning of the bell role. This bell-spilling stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  In the bell group 1, stop operations are determined in the order of pushing for the bell winning if the stop button 23 </ b> L is the first, and the subsequent operations are not limited if other than the stop button 23 </ b> L is the first. The stop operation is determined in the order of pushing for bell spill. Further, in the bell group 2, if the stop button 23C is the first, the stop operation regardless of the subsequent order is determined in the pushing order for the bell winning prize, and if the stop button 23C is other than the first, the subsequent order is determined. Any stop operation is determined in the push order for bell spill. Further, in the bell group 3, if the stop button 23R is the first, the stop operation regardless of the subsequent order is determined in the pushing order for the bell winning prize, and if other than the stop button 23R is the first, the subsequent order is determined. Any stop operation is determined in the push order for bell spill. For this reason, in the bell groups 1 to 3, the pressing order of “3 options” based on the stop button to be stopped first is determined.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the replay combination will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7A, when the main control CPU 40a wins the normal replay combination, the normal winning stop that becomes [Replay / Replay / Replay] on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. The normal stop eye according to the mode is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D, in this embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons at the time of winning the replay role that is a double winning among the winning of the replay role. Is different.

  In the following description, [Left → Middle → Right], [First Left], and the like indicate the order in which the reels are stopped, that is, the stop button stop operations in order from the front. The notation [left → middle → right] means stop operation in the order of the stop button 23L (left) → stop button 23C (middle) → stop button 23R (right), and the notation [first left] indicates the stop button 23L. If (left) is the first, it means a stop operation in any order.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), in this embodiment, a special push order that is a specific stop operation for stopping and displaying a special stop eye is determined for each special overlap replay group. Yes. Further, in order to cope with this, a normal push order for a normal stop operation for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each special overlap replay group.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (c), the main control CPU 40a makes a winning line when the stop operation by the player coincides with the specific stop operation by the special push order based on the winning of the special replay combination. The special stop eye (“special 1”) according to the stop mode (specific stop mode) of the special prize 1 that becomes [Replay / Replay / Bell] is stopped and displayed. The special stop eye according to the stop mode of the special prize 1 can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the main control CPU 40a has a normal pushing order based on the winning of the special replay role, so that the stop operation by the player matches the normal stop operation, The normal stop eye (“normal”) according to the stop mode (normal stop mode) of the normal winning that becomes [Replay / Replay / Replay] is stopped and displayed on the winning line. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, the special overlap replay group 1 has a special push order of [middle → left → right], [middle → right → left], [right → left → middle], and [right → Normal → left] push order is defined. In addition, the special duplication replay groups 1 to 4 have a [first left] normal push order regardless of the type of the winning information group. For this reason, the special overlapping replay groups 1 to 4 are determined to have a push order of “4 options without left” that does not have a special push order according to [first left].

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, in this embodiment, the push order for falling for stopping and displaying the fall stop eye is defined for each fall overlap replay group. Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal pushing order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each fall overlap replay group.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the main control CPU 40a, according to the falling replay combination, is in the order of pushing down for falling, and according to the stop manner of the falling prize that becomes [Bell Replay Bell] on the winning line. Stops the fall stop eye ("fall"). The falling stop eye due to the stop mode of the falling prize can be displayed stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the above-described normal stop eye ("normal") when the normal pressing order is based on the winning of the fall replay combination. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, in the fall overlap replay group 1, a normal push order of [first left] is set, and a push order for fall of [first middle] or [first right] is set. . For this reason, in the fall overlap replay groups 1 to 3, the pressing order of “3 choices” based on the stop button that is first stopped is determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, in this embodiment, the order of pushing for SP, which is a privilege stop operation for stopping and displaying the SP stop eye for each SP overlapping replay group, is determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, a special push order for stopping and displaying the special stop eye is determined for each SP overlapping replay group. Further, in order to correspond to these, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each SP overlapping replay group.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (e), the main control CPU 40 a makes a winning line when the stop operation by the player coincides with the stop operation of the privilege by the order of pushing for the SP based on the winning of the SP replay role. The SP stop eye (“SP1”) in the stop mode (privilege stop mode) of SP winning 1 that becomes [Replay / Watermelon / Replay] is stopped and displayed. In addition, the main control CPU 40a becomes the pushing order for the SP based on the winning of the SP replay role, and when the stop operation by the player coincides with the stop operation of the bonus, [Watermelon Replay Replay] The SP stop eye ("SP2") according to the stop mode (privilege stop mode) of the SP winning 2 to be stopped is displayed. The SP stop eye in the SP winning 1 or SP winning 2 stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 (c) and 7 (d), the main control CPU 40a has a [Replay / Replay Bell] or [ The special stop eye (“special 1” or “special 2”) according to the stop mode of the special prize 1 or special prize 2 that becomes “Bell / Replay / Replay” is stopped and displayed. The special stop eye according to the stop mode of the special prize 1 or the special prize 2 can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye on the winning line when the normal pressing order is based on the winning of the SP replay combination. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, the SP overlap replay group 1 has a [left → middle → right] push order for SPs and a normal [left → right → middle] push order. Also, for SP overlap replay group 1, special push order of [middle → left → right], [middle → right → left], [right → left → middle], and [right → middle → left] is determined. It has been. For this reason, the SP duplication replay groups 1 to 6 have the “6 selection” push order determined based on the push order of the stop buttons.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6D, in this embodiment, the order of pushing for SP for stopping and displaying the SP stop eye in the SP overlapping replay group 7 is determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye in the SP overlap replay group 7 is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (e), the main control CPU 40a, when the SP duplication replay group 7 wins the SP push order, the SP winning 1 that becomes [Replay / Watermelon / Replay] in the winning line. The SP stop eye (“SP1”) according to the stop mode is stopped and displayed. The SP stop eye according to the SP winning 1 stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye on the winning line when the normal push order is made based on the winning of the SP overlapping replay group 7. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  In this SP overlapped replay group 7, a normal first [first left / middle] push order is defined, and a [first right] SP push order is defined. For this reason, in the SP overlapping replay group 7, the pressing order of “one choice” based on the stop button that is first stopped is determined. That is, it means that the push order for SP of the SP overlap replay group 7 is only “first right”.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a can be controlled so as to be in the same stop mode halfway in addition to the above-described control as the stop control when winning the SP replay combination. For this reason, the stop mode that is the SP stop, the special stop, and the normal stop is such that [Replay] is included in two of them. Furthermore, the [Replay] included in this way may be [Replay with Bar] in which [Bar] is located immediately above [Replay]. In addition, regarding [watermelon] included in the stop mode that is the SP stop eye, there is a case where [watermelon with a bar] in which [bar] is located immediately above [watermelon].

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control CPU 40a performs the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing when the normal pressing order is based on the winning of the SP replay role. As a result, [Replay with Bar] described above can be stopped and displayed on the winning line. For this reason, at the normal stop, [bar] is stopped and displayed on each reel of the non-winning line L2, and [bar] is tempered (listened) at the position indicated by “star”. In this case, the main control CPU 40a can stop and display [bar] on the reels to be stopped first and next, and does not stop and display [bar] on the reels to be stopped last.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, when the main control CPU 40a has a special push order based on the winning of the SP replay role, the timing of the stop operation by the player is a predetermined timing. The above-mentioned [Replay with bar] can be stopped and displayed on the winning line. For this reason, in the special stop eye according to the stop mode of the special winning 1, [Bar] is stopped and displayed on the left reel 13 </ b> L and the middle reel 13 </ b> C of the non-winning line L <b> 2, and [Bar] is displayed at the position indicated by “star”. . In the special stop eye according to the special winning 2 stop mode, [Bar] is stopped and displayed on the middle reel 13C and the right reel 13R of the non-winning line L2, and [Bar] is displayed at the position indicated by “star”. Note that the main control CPU 40a performs the above-mentioned [Replay with Bar] by performing the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing in the case of a special pressing order based on the winning of the special replay role. Stop display on the winning line.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7E and 7F, the main control CPU 40a determines the timing of the stop operation by the player in the case of the SP push order based on the winning of the SP replay role group. By performing at the timing, the above-mentioned [Replay with bar] and [Watermelon with bar] can be stopped and displayed on the winning line. For this reason, at the SP stop according to the stop mode of SP winning 1 and SP winning 2, [bar] is stopped and displayed on each reel of the non-winning line L2, and [bar] is aligned at the position indicated by “star”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, the SP overlap replay groups 1 to 6 have a stop mode in which [Replay] is stopped and displayed on the reel that is stopped first. Further, in the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6, the stop mode in which [Replay] is stopped and displayed on the first and the next reel to be stopped is at least one of the SP push order and the special push order. It is determined to respond.

  For example, in the SP overlapped replay group 1, SP winning 1 or normal winning in which [Replay] is stopped on the left reel 13L is defined as a stop mode when the left reel 13L is stopped first. In addition, special winning 1 or special winning 2 in which [Replay] is stopped is determined for the middle reel 13C as a stop mode when the middle reel 13C is first stopped. In addition, special winning 2 in which [Replay] is stopped on the right reel 13R is defined as a stop mode when the right reel 13R is first stopped.

  Further, the SP overlap replay group 1 has an SP winning in which [Replay] is stopped at the first and the next reel to be stopped as a stop mode when the left reel 13L and then the middle reel 13C are stopped first. 1 is defined. Further, in the SP overlapped replay group 1, a normal winning in which [replay] is stopped at the first and the next reel to be stopped as a stop mode when the left reel 13L and then the right reel 13R are stopped first is stopped. Is stipulated. The SP overlapping replay group 1 has a special prize in which [Replay] is stopped at the first and next reels as a stop mode when the middle reel 13C and the left reel 13L are stopped first. 1 is defined. The SP overlapping replay group 1 has a special prize in which [Replay] is stopped at the first and next reels as a stop mode when the middle reel 13C and then the right reel 13R are stopped first. 2 is defined. The SP overlapping replay group 1 has a special prize in which [Replay] is stopped at the first reel and the next reel to be stopped as a stop mode when the right reel 13R and the middle reel 13C are stopped first. 2 is defined.

  For this reason, in the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6, the player decides which of the SP stop, the special stop, and the normal stop is stopped when the reel to be stopped first (first stop reel) stops. It will be impossible to grasp. Also, in the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6, any one of the SP stop eye, the special stop eye, and the normal stop eye at the time of stopping the first and second reels (the first stop reel and the second stop reel) is stopped. It becomes possible to create a situation where the player cannot grasp whether it will be stopped. For example, in the SP overlapped replay group 1, any one of the SP stop eye, special stop eye, and normal stop eye is stopped at the stop time of the reel that is stopped first and then in the pressing order other than [Right → Left → Middle]. The player will not be able to grasp what is being done.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads out the combination information from the main control RAM 40c, and performs a winning determination for determining whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the read combination information (winning combination) is stopped and displayed on the winning line. . Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input with each reel being stopped, and the combination is the role information. It is determined whether or not the winning mode corresponds to (winning role). When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination (affirmative) based on the winning combination information. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is not the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a does not win the winning combination based on the winning combination information (ie, the winning combination). Judgment of missing winning combination based on information.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the winning mode determined to be the winning. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the control state according to the prize mode and control for paying out prize medals. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the BN winning combination, the main control CPU 40a performs BN game control as control of a control state for shifting from the next variable game to BN game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BN payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the start of the BN game. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game in which the number of payouts during the BN game exceeds the maximum number of payouts according to the type of the BN game (297 in this embodiment).

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls not to pay out one or more prize medals when determining whether to miss the cherry role when winning the cherry role.

  Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals. The main control CPU 40a controls not to pay out one or more award medals when determining whether to drop a watermelon role when winning a watermelon role.

  When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out 12 award medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when it is determined that the bell role is missed when the bell role is won. Further, when determining such a missed bell role, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the control state to be described later.

  When determining the replay winning combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined. Furthermore, when determining the winning of the special replay combination, the fall replay combination, or the SP replay combination, control related to the transition of the control state described later may be performed.

  Next, a description will be given of how the main control CPU 40a performs control state transition controlled based on a variable game according to the control state. The main control CPU 40a that controls the control state relating to the gaming state as described below functions as a state control means.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when shifting the control state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the control state of the transfer destination to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This state instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (the sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the control state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Specifically, when the main control CPU 40a wins the BN role (bonus win) during the entire control state (all states) in the general game, the occurrence of the BN role (bonus winning), that is, the BN stop Triggered by the stop display, the next change game is shifted to the BN game (bonus). In this case, the main control CPU 40a shifts from the next variable game to the low probability RT game (low probability RT) when the BN game ends (bonus end).

  In addition, if the main control CPU 40a wins the special replay role (communication + special (replay)) during the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a is to perform a stop operation by the normal push order of “no left 4 choices”. Thus, a normal winning is generated, and the low probability RT game is continued (maintained) in response to the normal winning. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a wins the special replay role (communication + special (replay)) during the low-probability RT game, the stop operation by the special push order of “no left 4 choices” is performed. Then, a special prize (in this case, special prize 1) is generated and triggered by this to shift from the next variable game to the high probability RT1 game (high probability RT1).

  For this reason, in the low probability RT game, when the special stop eye that wins the special replay role and becomes the special prize 1 is stopped and displayed, the condition for transition to the high probability RT1 game is satisfied. In addition, the low-probability RT game is continued because the transition condition to the high-definition RT1 game is not satisfied when the normal stop eye that is won by the special replay combination and is normally displayed is stopped.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role (through + roll (replay)) during the high-definition RT1 game, the stop operation is performed according to the normal push order in “3 choices”. A normal winning is generated, and the high-precision RT1 game is continued (maintained) with this as a trigger. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role (through + roll (replay)) during the high-precision RT1 game, the stop operation by the push order for the fall of “3 choices” is performed. A drop-in prize is generated and triggered by this to shift from the next variable game to a low probability RT game (low probability RT).

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role during the high-accuracy RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a generates a bell-winning by performing a stop operation according to the pushing order for the bell-winning, and the high-accuracy RT1 game is triggered by this. Continue (maintain). On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell during the high-definition RT1 game, the stop operation is performed by the pushing order for the bell spilling. Shift to (low accuracy RT).

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SP replay role (in this case, SP + replay which becomes the SP overlapped replay group 7) during the high-definition RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a performs a stop operation according to the normal push order. As a result, a normal winning is generated and the high-definition RT1 game is continued (maintained) with this as a trigger. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SP replay role (in this case, SP + replay which becomes the SP overlapped replay group 7) during the high-precision RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a performs a stop operation by the SP push order. As a result, an SP winning (SP winning 1 in this case) is generated and triggered by this to shift from the next variable game to a high-definition RT2 game (high-definition RT2).

Note that, when the main control CPU 40a wins the normal replay combination during the high-definition RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a generates a normal winning regardless of the pressing order and continues (maintains) the high-precision RT1 as a trigger.
For this reason, in the high-definition RT1 game, if the SP stop eye that wins the SP replay role (in this case, the SP overlapped replay group 7) and becomes SP winning 1 is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high-precision RT2 game Is satisfied. Also, in the high-definition RT1 game, when the fall stop eye that wins the fall replay role and wins the fall is displayed, or the bell spill stop eye that wins the bell role and spills the bell is stopped and displayed The transition condition (falling condition) to the low probability RT game (low probability RT) is satisfied. In addition, the high-definition RT1 game is displayed when the normal stop eye that wins the SP replay role (in this case, the SP overlapped replay group 7), the fall replay role, or the normal replay role and wins a normal win is stopped or displayed. When the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and becomes a bell win is displayed in a stopped state, the transition condition to the high probability RT2 game and the low probability RT game is not satisfied and the game is continued.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SP replay role (in this case, the SP + replay group 1 to 6 which is the SP overlapped replay group 1 to 6 + SP (replay)) during the high-precision RT2 game, By performing the stop operation in the normal or SP pushing order, a normal winning or SP winning is generated, and the highly accurate RT2 game is continued (maintained) as a trigger. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a wins the SP replay role (in this case, SP + replay + SP (replay) as the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6) during the high-precision RT2 game, By performing a stop operation in the special push order, a special winning is generated and triggered by this to shift from the next variable game to the high-definition RT1 game (high-precision RT1).

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role during the high-precision RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a generates a bell-winning by performing a stop operation according to the pushing order for the bell-winning prize, and the high-precision RT2 game is triggered by this. Continue (maintain). On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role during the high-probability RT2 game, a stop operation is performed according to the pushing order for the bell spilling. Shift to (low accuracy RT).

  For this reason, in the high-precision RT2 game, if the special stop eye that wins the SP replay role (in this case, the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6) and becomes a special prize is stopped and displayed, The transition condition (falling condition) to RT1) is satisfied. Also, in the high-accuracy RT2 game, when the bell spill stop eye that becomes a bell spill after winning the bell role is stopped and displayed, the transition condition (falling condition) to the low-accuracy RT game (low-accuracy RT) is satisfied. In addition, the high-definition RT2 game is a case where the normal stop eye or the SP stop eye that wins the SP replay role (in this case, the SP overlapping replay groups 1 to 6) and becomes the normal winning or SP winning is stopped or displayed, or When the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and wins the bell is displayed in a stopped state, the transition condition to the high probability RT1 game and the low probability RT game is not satisfied and is continued. In addition, regarding high-accuracy RT2 games, a transition from a low-accuracy RT game to a low-accuracy RT game is permitted without passing through a high-accuracy RT1 game, whereas a transition from a low-accuracy RT game is not permitted. It has become so.

  As described above, the stop display of the special stop eye, which is a special prize, is defined as an opportunity to shift to the highly accurate RT1 game. Therefore, the stop display of the special stop eye that becomes a special prize is not only the transition from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT1 game, but also the transition timing from the high probability RT2 game to the high probability RT1 game. The mode of transition of the control state varies depending on the control state.

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

  When the sub instruction CPU 41a inputs a state instruction command, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating the control state under control of the main control CPU 40a in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

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

  Specifically, in the production state, there is an ART mode that is performed in association with the high probability RT1 game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state and an effect of assisting assisting the avoidance of a drop-in prize, the Bell prize or the SP prize.

  In addition, in the production state, there is an SP mode that is performed in association with the high probability RT2 game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the SP mode. This SP mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state and an effect that assists (assists) the winning notification of the SP replay role and the winning of a bell.

  In addition, in the production state, there is a normal mode that is performed in association with the low probability RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the normal mode. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and no effect for assisting the special prize or the bell prize is performed. The effect state includes a preparation mode that is a low-probability RT game and is performed in association with the situation when the right to shift to the ART mode (described later) occurs (with an ART flag). In this case, the effect display device 14 is configured to be roughly the same as the display screen for the normal mode, and a character string such as “standby” is displayed as an image on the display screen. This preparatory mode is a state where the winning probability of the replay role is a low-probability lottery state, as in the normal mode, while the special win and the bell win are performed.

  The BN game is associated with an effect state in the BN mode in which an effect display device 14 displays an image of the BN display screen. This BN mode is a state in which a bell role can be won with a high probability and an effect of assisting a bell winning is performed.

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

Hereinafter, the control contents in each effect state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the transition of the rendering state in the form shown in FIG. 8 as a result of performing the control in each rendering state described below. The sub-control CPU 41a that controls the effect state relating to the gaming state as described below functions as a state control means.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode in the case of the low probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the normal mode (during normal mode control). During the normal mode, a special replay winning combination, a normal winning or a special winning based on the winning of the special replay winning is instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the effect of assisting the bell winning when the winning of the bell role in which the stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. 14 display contents are controlled. For this reason, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so that it is difficult to win a bell. On the other hand, in the normal mode, when a player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell when the player performs a stop operation in the push order for winning the bell.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the effect of assisting the special winning when the winning of the special replay combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations is instructed. Controls the display content of. For this reason, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so that a special prize is difficult. On the other hand, during the normal mode, when a special replay role is won, a special prize occurs when a player happens to stop in a special push order.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when a normal winning is instructed based on the winning of the special replay combination. In this case, the low-reliability RT game is continued in the control state. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the special winning is instructed based on the winning of the special replay combination. In this case, the control state is shifted to the high probability RT1 game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. This ART rush lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability is obtained based on the winning combination instructed to win. The sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the result of “winning” in the ART rush lottery, while shifting to the ART mode when deriving the result of “non-winning” in the ART rush lottery. Does not generate rights.

  Random numbers used for the above-described ART entry lottery and various lotteries described later are updated at predetermined intervals and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub-control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries, and performs random-number lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets information indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode in the ART flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. . The information indicating the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode is canceled when the ART mode to be shifted to after the occurrence ends, and the setting is retained when the ART mode is interrupted.

  In the following description, “with an ART flag” indicates that information indicating the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode is set in the ART flag. Further, “no ART flag” indicates that the information indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode is not set in the ART flag.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of “winning” in the ART entry lottery, and when the ART flag is present, the normal mode is ended from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times has passed, and the ART mode is entered. The production state is controlled so as to shift to the preparation mode for notifying the occurrence of the right to shift. In this case, the low-reliability RT game is continued in the control state. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery. For this reason, there is no ART flag during the normal mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a gives a penalty which is disadvantageous to the player when a predetermined stop operation is not performed in each variable game. This penalty is realized by setting the period for restricting the transition to the ART mode and the derivation of the “winning” result of the ART entry lottery even after a special winning instruction is given. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a for giving a penalty functions as a penalty giving means.

  As such a predetermined stop operation, a [first left] stop operation that is a normal push order of the special overlap replay group is determined. Therefore, during the normal mode, the [first left] stop operation is practiced by the player in order to avoid a penalty, so that no special prize is generated. Therefore, during the normal mode without the ART flag, the transition to the preparation mode and the ART mode is not realized.

  If a special prize occurs during the normal mode, the control state is shifted from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT1 game, but the production state is maintained in the normal mode. For this reason, even if the control state is high-definition RT1 game, when the production state is in the normal mode, the production for assisting various winnings is not performed as in the ART mode.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
In the case of a low probability RT game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the preparation mode if the ART flag is present.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the preparation mode (during preparation mode control). During the preparation mode, a special replay winning combination, a normal winning or a special winning based on the winning of the special replay winning is instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a produces a “bell navigation effect” that assists in the winning of a bell when the winning of a bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop buttons among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. For this reason, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the bell winning, and the player wins a bell when the player performs a game according to the bell navigation effect.

  In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and “1” is assigned to one of the three images. For example, a bell navigation effect in which “1” is added in the middle of three images imitating a stop button informs the player that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that a bell navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the bell role is instructed. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the bell winning push order corresponding to the bell combination instructed to win. For example, in the case of the bell group 2, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect that informs that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  Also, the sub-control CPU 41a produces a “special navigation effect” for assisting the special winning when the winning of the special replay role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. For this reason, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the special winning, and a special winning occurs when the player plays the game according to the special navigation effect.

  In the effect display device 14, three images simulating stop buttons are displayed side by side, and one of “1”, “2”, and “3” is assigned to each of the three images. For example, a special navigation effect with “1” in the middle of three images simulating a stop button, “2” on the left, and “3” on the right, press the stop button [middle → left → right]. Inform the player that they should be operated in order.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 as the information notification means so that a special navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game when a special replay winning combination is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the special navigation effect to be performed with the content of notifying the special push order (special information) corresponding to the special replay combination instructed to win. For example, in the case of the special overlap replay group 2, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a special navigation effect with contents for notifying that the stop button should be operated in the order of [middle → right → left].

  Further, when the special winning is instructed as a result of performing the special navigation effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to end the preparation mode and shift to the ART mode. In this case, the control state is shifted to the high probability RT1 game.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the preparation mode when a normal winning is instructed as a result of performing the special navigation effect. In this case, the low-reliability RT game is continued in the control state.

  In such special navigation effects, other than [first left], which is the special push order for the special overlap replay group, and a specific stop operation that is subject to a penalty is informed in the normal mode. The For this reason, the sub-control CPU 41a allows the transition to the ART mode when the above-mentioned [first left] is not performed for the variable game in which the special navigation effect is performed in the preparation mode (the penalty is given). Not). Therefore, the transition to the ART mode is realized during the preparation mode with the ART flag.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the ART mode in the case of a highly reliable RT1 game. Since the start of the ART mode control of the sub-control CPU 41a is triggered by a special prize, it is synchronized with the start of the high-precision RT1 game control of the main control CPU 40a.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning and winning (missing) instructions of the winning combination during the ART mode (while controlling the ART mode). Note that during the ART mode, as a replay role, winning of the fall replay role, a normal winning based on this, or an inward winning of drop is instructed. Further, during the ART mode, an SP replay winning combination based on the SP overlapping replay group 7 and a normal winning or SP winning based on this are instructed as a replay winning.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed in the same manner as the preparation mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. Therefore, during the ART mode, an effect is performed so as to avoid the bell spilling and assist the bell winning, and when the player performs the game according to the bell navigation effect, the bell spilling is avoided and the bell winning is generated.

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the ART mode when a bell winning is instructed. In this case, the high-reliability RT1 game is continued in the control state. In addition, when the bell spill is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to end the ART mode and shift to the normal mode. In this case, the control state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the “fall-down avoidance navigation effect” to assist the normal winning when the winning of the fall-replay role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. For this reason, during the ART mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the normal winning by avoiding the falling winning, and the player performs the game according to the falling avoidance navigation effect, thereby avoiding the falling winning and generating the normal winning. .

In the effect display device 14, as in the special navigation effect, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and any one of “1”, “2”, and “3” is attached to each of the three images. .
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the fall avoidance navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game when the winning of the fall replay role is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the fall avoidance navigation effect to be performed with the content of notifying the push order for the fall according to the fall replay combination instructed to win. For example, in the case of the fall-overlapping replay group 2, the sub-control CPU 41a falls with a content for notifying that the stop button should be operated in the pressing order of [middle → right → left], that is, [first middle]. The avoidance navigation production is performed.

  Further, when the normal winning is instructed as a result of performing the fall avoidance navigation effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the ART mode. In this case, the high-reliability RT1 game is continued in the control state. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to end the ART mode and shift to the normal mode when a drop-in prize is instructed as a result of performing the fall avoidance navigation effect. In this case, the control state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “SP navigation effect” to assist the SP winning when the winning of the SP replay role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. In some cases, the display content of the display device 14 is controlled.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs an SP navigation execution lottery when an SP replay winning combination is instructed. This SP navigation execution lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability is obtained. The sub-control CPU 41a determines the execution of the SP navigation effect when deriving the “winning” result in the SP navigation execution lottery, while the SP navigation effect is determined when deriving the “non-winning” result in the SP navigation execution lottery. Determine non-execution.

  Thus, when the result of “winning” is derived in the SP navigation execution lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform the SP navigation effect. For this reason, when the result of “winning” is derived in the SP navigation execution lottery, during the ART mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the SP winning, and the player performs the game according to the SP navigation effect, thereby winning the SP. Will occur.

  In the effect display device 14, “←” is displayed as an image together with the character image “Aim for [Bar / Bar / Bar]”. Thereby, the SP navigation effect notifies the player that the stop button should be operated in the order of [right → middle → left] at the timing when [bar] can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, when a player plays a game in accordance with the SP navigation effect, an SP winning in which [bar] is aligned on the non-winning line L2 occurs.

  Further, when the winning of the SP replay role is instructed and the SP navigation effect is executed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the SP navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game. .

  Further, when the SP winning is instructed as a result of performing the SP navigation navigation effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to interrupt the ART mode and shift to the SP mode. In this case, the control state is shifted to the high probability RT2 game.

  On the other hand, when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the SP navigation execution lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the “normal navigation effect” assisting the normal winning is performed. For this reason, when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the SP Navi execution lottery, during the ART mode, the performance is performed so as to assist the normal winning, and the player performs the game according to the normal navigation performance. Winning occurs.

  In the effect display device 14, like the special navigation effect and the fall avoidance navigation effect, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and any one of “1”, “2”, and “3” is displayed for the three images. Each is attached.

  Further, when the winning of the SP replay role is instructed and the normal navigation effect is executed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the normal navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game. . Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the normal navigation effect to be performed with the content informing the normal push order corresponding to the SP replay role. In this case, since the sub-control CPU 41a is the SP overlapping replay group 7, the sub-control CPU 41a informs that the stop button should be operated in a pressing order other than [first right] such as [left → middle → right]. Normal navigation effects are performed.

  Further, when the normal winning is instructed as a result of performing the normal navigation effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the ART mode. In this case, the high-reliability RT1 game is continued in the control state.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the number of remaining games indicating the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. The number of remaining games is also the number of times that a variable game can be performed for various assistances of the player's game by means of a bell navigation effect or the like in the ART mode.

  Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continues to hold the number of remaining games until the ART mode is ended even when the mode is shifted to another mode. For this reason, when interrupting the ART mode and shifting to the SP mode or the BN mode, the sub-control CPU 41a then restarts the ART mode with the number of remaining games at the time of interruption. The ART mode of the present embodiment is controlled by dividing it into unit periods in which the number of remaining games corresponding to the number of remaining games is one set.

In the following description, the case where the remaining game number is “0 (zero)” is referred to as the remaining game number not being set. Further, when the remaining game number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), it is said that the remaining game number is being set.
The sub-control CPU 41a adds [50 (times)] as the number of remaining games when the production state is shifted to the ART mode while the number of remaining games is not set. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining number of games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the ART mode. As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of times that the variable game can be performed in the ART mode based on the execution of the variable game.

  The player is notified of the number of times the variable game is performed in the ART mode by using the effect display device 14. Therefore, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the number of remaining games stored in the sub control RAM 41c during the ART mode.

  In addition, when the number of remaining games stored in the sub control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 41a performs a high-definition RT effect to notify the end of the ART mode. 14 display contents are controlled.

  During such a high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining number of games, so that the effect display is performed so that various navigation effects are not performed even if the winning combination of the bell role or the SP replay role is won. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. For this reason, during the highly accurate RT performance, the performance is performed so as to make it difficult to avoid bell spillage, that is, to win a bell. On the other hand, during high-definition RT production, a bell win occurs when a player happens to stop in the push order for a bell win when a bell role is won. Further, during the high-definition RT production, the production is performed so as to make it difficult to avoid the falling prize and to make the SP prize difficult. On the other hand, during high-definition RT production, the drop-in prize is avoided when the player happens to stop in the normal pushing order when the fall replay role is won, and when the SP replay role is won, the player happens to be An SP winning occurs when a stop operation is performed in the order of pressing. Note that even if the SP winning is generated even during the high-definition RT effect, the control state shifts to the high-definition RT2 game, but the high-definition RT effect is continued.

  In addition, after the high-definition RT effect is obtained, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode in response to a bell spill or a drop-in prize. In accordance with this, the control state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

Next, control related to the SP mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the SP mode when the RT2 game is highly accurate. The start of the SP mode control of the sub-control CPU 41a is synchronized with the start of the high-precision RT2 game control of the main control CPU 40a because the SP winning is triggered.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning and winning (missing) instructions of the winning combination during the SP mode (during SP mode control). During the SP mode, the SP replay winning combination based on the SP overlapping replay groups 1 to 6 and the normal winning, special winning or SP winning based on this are instructed as the replay winning.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the “bell navigation effect” to be performed in the same manner as in the preparation mode or the ART mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled. For this reason, during the SP mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the bell winning by avoiding the bell spilling, and the player performs the game according to the bell navigation effect, thereby avoiding the bell spilling and generating the bell winning.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the SP mode when the bell winning is instructed. In this case, the control state continues the high-precision RT2 game. In addition, when the bell spill is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to end the SP mode and shift to the normal mode. When the sub control CPU 41a terminates the SP mode, it terminates the interrupted ART mode. In this case, the control state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies that there is a chance of winning the SP (when there is a possibility), when the winning of the SP replay combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations is instructed. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that the “SP challenge navigation effect” is performed. For this reason, during the SP mode, an effect is performed so that the player himself selects the push order toward the SP prize, and the player performs the SP push order stop operation by his own intuition. Winning occurs.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in the effect display device 14, three images simulating stop buttons are displayed side by side together with the character image “Aim at [Bar / Bar / Bar]”. A question mark is added. Thereby, the SP challenge navigation effect notifies the player that the stop button should be operated at a timing at which [Bar] can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, an SP winning in which [bars] are aligned on the non-winning line L2 occurs when the player performs an operation to stop the SP pushing order with his own intuition.

  Further, when the winning of the SP replay role is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the SP challenge navigation effect is performed with the start of the variable game. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the SP challenge navigation effect with the content to notify that it is an SP winning chance regardless of the type of the SP replay combination instructed to win.

  Further, when the SP winning or the normal winning is instructed as a result of performing the SP challenge navigation effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the SP mode. In this case, the control state continues the high-precision RT2 game. Further, when a special winning is instructed as a result of performing the SP challenge navigation effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to end the SP mode and resume the suspended ART mode. In this case, the control state is shifted to the high probability RT1 game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the extra number lottery when the SP winning is instructed as a result of performing the SP challenge navigation effect. This extra number lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to any one of “10 times”, “30 times”, “50 times”, “100 times”, and “200 times” so as to obtain a predetermined winning probability. The sub-control CPU 41a adds the number of times determined by the extra number lottery to the number of remaining games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c and updates it. As described above, in the present embodiment, during the SP mode, an extra (addition) is added to the number of remaining games as a privilege that the player has selected the push order for SP by his / her own intuition. For this reason, the continuation (extension) of the ART mode is realized by adding the remaining number of games.

  As described above, when the SP is won during the SP mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to perform an extra effect of adding the remaining number of games. In the SP mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify that the additional game number is generated when determining the additional game number.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining number of games through the effect display device 14 even during the SP mode. On the other hand, the remaining number of games is not subtracted (counted) even if a variable game is played during the SP mode. For this reason, the SP mode is a stop period in which counting (subtraction) of the number of remaining games that will be counted in the ART mode is stopped. The SP mode of the present embodiment is controlled by dividing it into unit periods in which one set includes special winnings that occur regardless of the number of remaining games.

  As described above, in the game state in which the control state is the low-probability RT game and the production state is the normal mode, it is difficult to win the replay role, and the player cannot advantageously play the game unless winning the ART entry lottery. This is a disadvantage for the player.

  In addition, the game state in which the control state is the low-probability RT game and the production state is the preparation mode is difficult to win the replay role, but since the player has won the ART entry lottery, the player can advantageously play the game, It can be said that the player is more advantageous than the normal mode.

  In addition, in the gaming state in which the control state is the high probability RT1 and the production state is the ART mode, the player can easily win the replay role, and the player can advantageously play the game, so that the player can compare with the normal mode and the preparation mode. It can be said that it is advantageous.

  In addition, in the gaming state in which the control state is the high probability RT2 and the production state is the SP mode, it is easy to win the replay role as in the ART mode, and the remaining number of games can be added, and even after the special winning is finished, Since the suspended ART mode is resumed, it is most advantageous for the player. In the present embodiment, the gaming state in which the control state is the low-probability RT game and the gaming state in which the production state is the normal mode or the preparation mode is the normal gaming state, and the gaming state in which the control state is the high-probability RT1 game and the rendering state is the ART mode is advantageous. A gaming state in which the control state is the high-accuracy RT2 game and the game state in which the effect state is the SP mode is the special gaming state.

  For this reason, the stop display of a special stop that becomes a special prize is generated in the normal mode, that is, the preparation mode, and is an opportunity to be promoted from an unfavorable gaming state to an advantageous gaming state. Such a game state is promoted by a special navigation based on the presence of an ART flag, while a special winning can not occur when the [first left] stop operation is performed so as to avoid a penalty during the normal mode. When an effect is performed, stop operations other than [first left] are allowed. Therefore, the special winning in the normal mode and the preparation mode can have a special meaning as an opportunity to obtain an advantageous situation.

  On the other hand, the stop display of the special stop that becomes a special prize is generated in the SP mode, and is an opportunity to be demoted from the most advantageous gaming state to the advantageous gaming state. Such a game state is demoted when a special winning can occur even when the [first left] stop operation is penalized in the normal mode. Therefore, for the special winning in the SP mode, the above-mentioned special meaning of the special winning in the normal mode and the preparation mode is reduced.

  Therefore, when the SP replay combination (SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6) is determined during the SP mode, the game state is demoted when determining the special replay combination that generates a special prize that triggers the demotion of the gaming state. The SP replay combination that generates an SP winning that does not trigger the event and the normal replay combination that generates a normal winning are determined redundantly. The occurrence of such an SP winning not only triggers the relegation of the gaming state, but also triggers the provision of a privilege such as adding the number of remaining games.

  As described above, when the SP replay combination is determined, the SP winning or the normal winning can be generated by making it possible to generate the SP winning or the normal winning on the condition that the operation is stopped in the pushing order for the bonus or the normal. In a possible situation, the player's interest can be directed to the award or normal push order, that is, the occurrence of an SP winning or a normal winning.

  Further, when the SP replay combination is determined, the symbol combination of all rows is controlled by the same stop mode until the symbol combination of all rows is stopped and displayed during the normal winning, special winning, and SP winning. A situation is created in which it is difficult for the player to grasp whether the winning is the normal winning, the special winning, or the SP winning until the stop display.

Here, the flow of the game when the SP replay combination is won in the SP mode will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 9 (a), in the effect display device 14, when the SP replay role is won in the SP mode, the SP challenge navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game that is the target of the selection. Further, rotation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is started. As a result, the player performs a stop operation on the stop button at a timing at which [bar] can be stopped and displayed according to the SP challenge navigation effect.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the stop button 23C is first stopped at a timing at which [Replay with Bar] can be stopped (intermediate stop), the upper stage of the middle reel 13C, in the order of interruption. , [Bar], [Replay] ([Replay with Bar]) are stopped.

  For this reason, in the middle stop situation, it is possible to visually determine that there is a possibility of winning an SP by the player confirming the stop display of [Bar]. In fact, in this mid-stop situation, any of the normal prize, special prize (in this case, both special prize 1 and special prize 2), and SP prize (in this case, SP prize 2) may be awarded. It can also be judged visually.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, following the stop operation of the stop button 23C, when the stop button 23R is stopped at a timing at which [Replay with bar] can be stopped (middle to right stop), the right [Bar], [Replay] ([Replay with Bar]) are stopped and displayed in the order of the upper stage and interruption of the reel 13R, and [Bar] is displayed on the upper stage.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9D, when the stop button 23L is stopped at a timing at which [Replay with Bar] can be stopped and displayed after the stop operation of the stop button 23C (middle → left stop), the left [Bar] and [Replay] ([Replay with Bar]) are stopped and displayed in the order of the upper stage and interruption of the reel 13L, and [Bar] is displayed on the upper stage.

  In the middle → right stop or middle → left stop situation, the player can confirm that there is a possibility of winning an SP by confirming the stop display of the [bar] Tempe. Actually, in this middle → right stop situation, it seems that any of the normal prize, special prize (special prize 2 in this case), and SP prize (SP prize 2 in this case) may be won. Judgment is possible. On the other hand, in fact, in this middle → left stop situation, there is no possibility of SP winning, but it is possible to visually judge that there is a possibility of a normal winning and a special winning (in this case, special winning 1).

  Therefore, in these cases, the same stop mode is used until the stop point of the reel to be stopped first and next, and if the SP winning is achieved, the [bar] template that is stopped and displayed together is controlled. The player's interest can be diverted from the winning, and the player's interest can be effectively directed to the SP winning.

  Especially in the middle → left stop situation, the player confirms the stop indication of the [Tempei] of [Bar], but even if it is judged visually that there is no possibility of winning SP, it will not be an opportunity to demote the game state It becomes possible to judge visually that there is a possibility of winning. Therefore, especially in this case, the player's interest can be diverted from the special prize even when the SP prize is not won.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) During the special game state (the game state in which the control state is the high-definition RT2 game and the production state is in the SP mode), the SP replay role in which a privilege is given to the player due to winning is duplicated when the special replay role is determined. To be determined. When the SP replay combination is determined, it is possible to derive the display result by the SP stop point (in the present embodiment, [bar] can be aligned with the non-winning line L2 in the present embodiment) on condition that it matches the push order for the privilege. Thus, in a situation where the SP replay combination may be determined, the player's interest can be directed to the push order for the benefit, that is, the derivation of the display result by the SP stop eye. Furthermore, when a special replay role or SP replay role is determined, it is difficult for the player to grasp the type of winning role to be won until the display result is derived by controlling to the same stop mode until the display result is derived. Is created. Therefore, when a special replay role is determined during a special game state, the player's interest can be diverted from the special prize, and the discomfort given to the player is reduced by effectively directing the player's interest to the SP prize. Can be made.

  (2) A game in which a special replay role is determined by determining an SP replay role and a normal replay role that are not disadvantageous to the player due to winning when the special replay role is determined during the special game state. The user's interest can be directed to the SP replay role and the normal replay role. Therefore, the player's interest can be diverted from the special prize during the special game state.

  In addition, when the normal replay combination is determined, the display result by the normal stop eye can be derived on condition that the normal push order is matched, and the display result when the special replay combination or the SP replay combination is determined It was made to control to the same stop mode until the middle of derivation of. Therefore, even when the SP stoppage is not derived, the player's interest can be directed to the derivation of the display result by the normal stoppage, and the player can further grasp the type of winning combination that wins until the final display result is derived. A difficult situation is created. Therefore, when the special replay combination is determined during the special game state, the player's interest can be diverted from the special prize even when the SP replay combination does not win.

  (3) Specifically, in the present embodiment, when [replay with bar] and [watermelon with bar] are stopped and displayed when the SP stop eye is derived, it is possible to align [bar] on the non-winning line L2. Accordingly, it is possible to direct the player's interest to the stop display of the SP stop even in the situation where the special winning is achieved and to the stop display of the normal stop even in the situation where the SP winning is not achieved. Therefore, the player's interest can be effectively diverted from the special prize.

  (4) When the SP replay role is won in the special game state, when the stop button is stopped at a timing at which [Bar] can be stopped and displayed, and any of the first reels stops, By confirming the stop display by the player, it is possible to visually judge that there is a possibility of winning an SP. Furthermore, when the SP replay role is won in the special game state, the stop button is stopped at a timing at which [Bar] can be stopped and displayed, and in the situation where the first and the next reel stop, the [Bar] Tempe stops. By confirming the display by the player, it is possible to judge visually that there is a possibility of winning an SP. Therefore, the player's interest can be effectively diverted from the special prize.

  (5) In the normal game state (the game state in which the control state is a low-probability RT game and the production state is the normal mode or the preparation mode), a special prize cannot be generated when a game that avoids a penalty is performed, while ART When the special push order is notified based on the winning of the rush lottery, the specification allows the discrepancy with the [first left] stop operation. For this reason, special meaning can be given to the special prize in the normal gaming state. In addition, the special meaning is reduced by making the specification such that a special prize can be generated even if a game avoiding a penalty in the normal game state is performed during the special game state. Therefore, by diverting the player's interest in special prizes in the special gaming state, it is possible to suppress the reduction of the above special meaning, and to give special meaning to the special prize regardless of the state. it can.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In this embodiment, the penalty during the normal mode may not be set.
-In this embodiment, the content of a penalty can also be changed if it is content which becomes disadvantageous for a player. For example, as a penalty, there may be a content that prevents an ART flag from being set unless the ART entry lottery is won twice.

In the present embodiment, a penalty during the normal mode can be set, while a transition to the ART mode can be permitted (no penalty is given) when a special prize is generated.
-In this embodiment, as a special navigation effect, it is also possible to notify only a part rather than all of the special push order. For example, as such notification, a stop button that should be stopped first can be notified, or a stop button that should be stopped first can be notified.

  In this embodiment, as the special push order set for the special overlap replay group, [first left] or a push order that determines that the stop button 23L is to be stopped first can be set. In the present embodiment, the pressing order of [first left] may not be determined as a special pressing order determined for the SP overlapped replay group. That is, the special push order can be set to be the same for the low probability RT game and the high probability RT2 game.

  -In this embodiment, it is not necessary to determine the double winning of the normal replay role in the SP overlapping replay group. In addition, the presence / absence of duplicate winning of the normal replay role can be varied as the overlapping content of the replay role for each SP overlapping replay group. For example, the SP overlapping replay groups 1 to 3 may determine the normal winning combination for the replay role, while the SP overlapping replay groups 4 to 6 may not determine the normal winning combination for the replay role.

  In the present embodiment, the normal stop eye may be configured in a different stop mode from the special stop eye and the SP stop eye, and the special stop eye and SP may be controlled by restricting the stop display of [Replay with Bar]. It may be configured to be distinguishable from the stop eye.

  In the present embodiment, regarding the derivation of the special stop eye based on the winning of the special replay role (special duplicate replay groups 1 to 4), the above-mentioned [Replay with bar] may not be displayed on the winning line. This makes it possible to differentiate the special stop eye based on the winning of the special replay role from the derivation of the special stop eye based on the winning of the SP replay role, and the situation (this embodiment) Then, according to the control state), the player can be made to grasp each separately. In addition, regarding this [replay with bar], when the control state is a low probability RT game, it is not possible to stop display on the winning line, while when the control state is a high probability RT1 game and a high probability RT2 game, The content of the stop control may be varied depending on the control state, such as enabling the stop display.

  In the SP overlapped replay groups 1 to 6 of the present embodiment, the SP stop, the special stop, and the normal stop at the time when the reels (first stop reel and second stop reel) to be stopped first and then stop are stopped. It may be possible to create a situation in which the player cannot grasp which of these will be stopped. That is, the stop table is determined so that the same symbol (in this embodiment, [Replay]) is stopped and displayed on the reels that are stopped first and next in any pressing order.

  In the present embodiment, the special stop eye, SP stop eye, and normal stop eye are configured in a stop mode in which the same [Replay] is stopped and displayed on the winning line in a situation where at least the first and next reels stop. The non-winning lines may not be configured in the same stop mode.

-In this embodiment, it is not necessary to set the winning of the normal replay role in the high probability RT1 game. Further, in the SP overlapping replay group 7, overlapping winning of the falling replay combination may be determined.
-In this embodiment, in the high-definition RT2 game, in the SP overlap replay group, there is no need to determine the normal winning duplicate win. Separately, a winning information group in which the special winning replay role and the normal replay role are determined is set. You can also

In the present embodiment, in the low-probability RT game, a normal replay winning combination can be set, and an SP replay winning combination can be set.
In the present embodiment, the number of types of various overlapping replay groups may be changed. For example, the fall overlap replay group 4 can be newly set to four types.

  -In this embodiment, when there is no ART flag, you may make it alert | report the normal pushing order at the time of a special replay winning combination. Further, when the control state is a high-definition RT1 game and the ART flag is not provided, the pressing order for falling may be notified when the falling replay combination is won.

  In the present embodiment, the same stop eye (combination of symbols) can be derived in the special prize, the SP prize, and the normal prize. In this case, it may be made to depend only on the order of pressing the stop button which winning is reached.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a may perform part or all of the control related to the effect state.
In the present embodiment, the period for controlling the ART mode can be determined by time.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the specification of transition of the production state until the rush of ART mode. For example, on the condition that a predetermined number of fluctuating games in the normal mode have passed, a state in which the transition to the preparation mode is allowed and the transition to the ART mode is allowed occurs, and the transition to the ART mode is triggered by a special prize thereafter. Good. The specification of the ART mode can also be realized by a stock type that manages the ART mode in units of sets.

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

In this embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
In the present embodiment, a winning combination with award medal can be determined as a winning combination that triggers the transition to the high-accuracy RT. In this case, the award medal can be paid out in a specific push order, while the award medal is not paid out in a push order other than the specific push order.

  -In this embodiment, the player is notified of the effect state by the light emission effect of the lamp R, or a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided to light up these to notify the player of the effect state, or the speaker SP The player may be notified of the effect state by voice effect. In this case, various effects such as navigation may be performed by the lamp R or the speaker SP.

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

-In this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a bonus game.
The present embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) Information notifying means for notifying special information for recognizing the specific stop operation when the specific winning combination is determined on condition that a predetermined condition is satisfied during the normal gaming state; In the normal gaming state, a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player is provided on the condition that it does not match with a predetermined stop operation, while when the special information is notified, a mismatch with the predetermined stop operation is given. A penalty granting means for allowing, when the specific winning combination is determined during the normal gaming state, the derivation control means matches the specific stop operation excluding the predetermined stop operation.
