The right lottery means, have a row the lottery when the decision result of the pre-determination means during the special game has become the specific decision result,
The probability that the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the specific determination result differs depending on which of the plurality of types of second gaming states is controlled .
Further, the slot machine may be configured as follows.
A game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a game value (for example, medals), and a plurality of types of identification information (for example, symbols) that can be identified by each game. One game is completed when a display result is derived to a variable display device (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variable display, and a winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device. A slot machine (eg, slot machine 1),
Whether or not to allow the generation of a plurality of types of winnings including a small winning combination (for example, a strawberry winning combination) accompanied by the provision of the gaming value before the display result is derived to the variable display device. Predetermining means to determine (for example, internal lottery processing by the main control unit 41),
Derivation control means (for example, a process for performing reel control by the main control unit 41) for performing control for causing the variable display device to derive a display result based on the determination result of the prior determination means;
Gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state (for example, processing for controlling the RT state by the main control unit 41),
The gaming state controlled by the gaming state control means includes a first gaming state (for example, RT0 to 2) in which a specific determination result (for example, the first winning combination) is not determined by the prior determination means. ) And a second gaming state (for example, RT3) in which the specific determination result is determined by the prior determination means,
In the first gaming state or the second gaming state, the slot machine is always allowed to generate the small part winning regardless of the determination result of the pre-determining means (for example, the small part is elected to all roles). A special game executing means for executing a special game (for example, CB) (for example, a process of controlling the CB by the main control unit 41);
The derivation control unit determines the specific determination when the specific determination result (for example, the first winning combination composed of the normal lip 2, the normal lip 3, etc.) is determined by the prior determination unit during the special game. It is more advantageous for the player than when the result is not determined (for example, the second winning combination composed of other than the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3) (for example, as shown in FIG. The variable display device displays a small combination display result (for example, a display result in which a strawberry wins with only one effective line) that generates a small combination winning). Control to be derived by

  According to such a configuration, when a specific determination result is determined during a special game, a small combination display in which a small combination prize is generated that is more advantageous for the player than when the specific determination result is not determined. The result is derived to the variable display device. Therefore, when a special game is executed in the second game state that can be determined as a specific determination result that is not determined in the first game state, the player has an advantage over the case where the special game is executed in the first game state. There are more opportunities to get higher. Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the game state when the special game is performed and the determination result of the advance decision during the special game, and the interest can be improved.

  Here, the “small role display result that generates a small role winning with a high advantage for the player” means that a “small role winning with a high advantageous for the player” is generated by deriving it. It is a display result that creates a situation in which a game with a high advantage for the player is provided as an opportunity. For example, if the special game ends when the cumulative amount indicating the value of the game value given during the special game exceeds a predetermined amount, the “small role display result” is derived. As a result of the game value of the amount not exceeding the predetermined amount being given by the player, the game in the special game can be played again without the special game being finished, and the game value of the predetermined amount or more is given. It includes those that are given utility value and become highly advantageous to the player. Further, as another example, the “small role display result” is derived, so that a situation advantageous to the player (for example, whether to provide navigation stock for controlling AT, whether to provide navigation stock or not) As a result of execution of AT lottery, improvement of winning probability in AT lottery, and the like, it includes those that have a higher advantage for the player.

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The second gaming state is a gaming state having a higher advantage than the first gaming state (for example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, RT3 is not won in RT0-2, normal lip 2, normal lip 3 , Chan Lip 1-3, 7-seven lip, and 7-off lip are won, so the advantage is higher than RT0-2).

  According to such a configuration, the second gaming state is a gaming state having a higher advantage than the first gaming state. Therefore, when the game state is controlled to the second game state, the advantage is high, and further, the interest of the player can be improved with respect to being executed in the special game.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The special game execution means terminates the special game when the cumulative amount indicating the magnitude of the game value given during the special game exceeds a predetermined amount (for example, 14 cards),
The derivation control means, during the special game, when the specific determination result (for example, the first winning combination) is determined by the pre-decision means, the accumulated amount of game value given during the special game After the small display result is derived to the variable display device so that the amount does not exceed the predetermined amount (for example, the strawberry is won with only one effective line so that the number of payouts in the CB does not exceed 14) After that, the small display display result is derived to the variable display device so that the accumulated amount of the game value given during the special game exceeds the predetermined amount (for example, the number of payouts in CB is 14) The strawberry is awarded with 2 effective lines so that it exceeds the limit).

  According to such a configuration, when the specific determination result is determined during the special game, the small role display is performed so that the accumulated amount of the game value given during the special game does not exceed the predetermined amount at which the special game ends. After the result is derived to the variable display device, the small-combination display result is derived to the variable display device so that the accumulated amount of the game value given during the special game exceeds the predetermined amount. Therefore, when the specific determination result is determined during the special game, the accumulated amount of the game value given during the special game can be made larger than when the specific determination result is not determined during the special game. .

(4) In the slot machines of (1) to (3) above,
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to cause the variable display device to derive a display result,
The determination result of the prior determination means includes a plurality of types of specific determination results (for example, the first winning combination includes a winning combination composed of a normal lip 2 and a winning combination composed of a normal lip 3 And)
The derivation control unit controls the variable display device to derive a display result based on the type of the specific determination result determined by the predetermination unit and an operation procedure (for example, pressing order) by the derivation operation unit. To do.

  According to such a configuration, there are a plurality of types of specific determination results, and the display results are derived on the variable display device based on the types of the specific determination results and the operation procedure by the derivation operation means. Therefore, since the display result derived to the variable display device differs depending on the combination of the type of the specific determination result determined by the pre-determining means and the operation procedure by the derivation operation means, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game. .

When a display result (for example, a strawberry wins with two active lines) that is less advantageous to the player than when the specific display result is derived in the specific game,
When the determination result of the prior determination means does not become the specific determination result (for example, winning the second winning combination), the display has the same advantage for the player regardless of the operation procedure by the derivation operation means Derive the results (for example, strawberry wins with 2 active lines)
The notification means includes
When the determination result of the prior determination means in the specific game becomes the specific determination result (for example, winning the first winning combination), it is an advantageous period in which the advantageous effect is being executed or in the latent period Regardless of whether there is a specific operation procedure corresponding to the specific determination result with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%) (for example, when the normal lip 2 constituting the first winning combination is won, the middle first stop) First informing means for informing advantageous information capable of specifying
When the determination result of the prior determination means does not become the specific determination result (for example, winning the second winning combination), the predetermined operation procedure can be specified (for example, navigation) when the advantageous period is in effect Information) with a first probability (for example, 70%), and when it is the incubation period, second notification means for notifying the predetermined information with a second probability (for example, 30%) lower than the first probability. Including.

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermining means in the specific game becomes the specific determination result having a different advantage depending on the operation procedure, even if the advantageous period is continued, Even in the case of the incubation period, advantageous information is notified with a predetermined probability. For this reason, the player can derive the specific display result with a predetermined probability whether the advantageous period is continued or the latent period is once set. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a difference in the degree of advantage, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, when the determination result of the prior determination means does not become the specific determination result having the same advantage regardless of the operation procedure, the predetermined information is notified with the first probability during the advantageous period, while the latency is When it is a period, the predetermined information is notified with a second probability lower than the first probability. For this reason, when the advantageous effect is ended, it is difficult for the player to specify whether it is a latent period in which the advantageous effect is executed again or a period in which the advantageous effect is not executed again. Since the advantage is the same regardless of the procedure, it is possible to prevent the difference in the advantage between the case where the advantage period is continued and the case where the advantage period is once set. Can be improved.

  The predetermined probability and the first probability may be the same value or different values. In addition, the predetermined probability that the first notification unit notifies the advantageous state during the advantageous period and the predetermined probability that the advantageous state is notified during the latent period may be the same or may be substantially the same.

  On the side of the hopper unit 34, an overflow tank 35 is provided for storing medals overflowing from the hopper tank 34a. Inside the overflow tank 35, a full sensor 35 a made up of a pair of electrically conductive members spaced apart from each other and provided at a height capable of detecting a predetermined amount of stored medals is provided. It is possible to detect that the amount of stored medal stored in the inside when it is conductive by contacting through the medal stored in the inside exceeds a predetermined amount, that is, the overflow tank 35 is full. It has become.

  The front side of the power supply box 100 functions as a setting key switch 37 for switching to a setting change state or a setting confirmation state, and functions as a reset switch for canceling an error state or a stop state in a normal state. There are provided a reset / setting switch 38 that functions as a setting switch for changing a setting value of a winning probability (outtake rate) of internal lottery to be described later, and a power switch 39 that is operated when the power is turned on / off. .

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or a bet number is set using a credit. To use the credit, the MAXBET switch 6 may be operated. In a non-CB time that is not a CB (challenge bonus), which will be described later, when a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set, the pay line (see FIG. 1) becomes effective, and the start switch 7 The operation is enabled, that is, the game can be started. In the present embodiment, when the specified number of bets is non-CB, three are determined regardless of the gaming state, and when the specified number of bets is set, the winning line becomes valid. In addition, when a medal is inserted exceeding the maximum number out of the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line that is set to determine whether a combination of symbols displayed on the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a winning line L1 set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, the middle of the reel 2R, that is, the middle of the reel, The lower line of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, that is, the winning line L2 set across the symbols arranged in the upward direction, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the right side. The winning line L3 set across the symbols arranged in the lower direction, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, that is, the winning line L4 set up across the symbols arranged in the valley shape, and the reel A winning line L5 set across the symbols arranged in a mountain shape is formed in the lower stage of 2L, the middle stage of reel 2C, and the lower stage of reel 2R.

  In the present embodiment, one medal is defined as the specified number of bets at the time of CB, and three medals are determined as the specified number of bets at the time of non-CB. When set, each winning line is activated and the game can be started.

  In the present embodiment, as a line to be activated (hereinafter also referred to as an activation line), a middle line in which the winning line L1 is activated, a right-up line in which the winning line L2 is activated, and a winning line A lower right line in which L3 is activated, an Otani line in which the winning line L4 is activated, and a small mountain line in which the winning line L5 is activated are set. Note that the present invention is not limited to enabling a plurality of lines as in the present embodiment, and only one line may be enabled.

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

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is finished, and a combination of symbols (hereinafter also referred to as a role) predetermined on the active line is a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. In the case of a stop, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit (50 in the present embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1).

  In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the active line is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols. Yes. In the present embodiment, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 8, when any of the promotion lip, the rush-in lip, and the fall-off lip is won or a missed game is derived, the replay probabilities of RT 1 to 3 differ. It is configured to shift to a corresponding gaming state.

  In this embodiment, an example in which three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are applied is described. However, only one reel is provided, and a winning is determined according to a display result of the one reel. Alternatively, two reels may be provided, and a prize may be determined according to a combination of display results of the two reels, or four or more reels may be provided, and a prize may be determined according to the combination of display results of these reels. May be determined.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated to start changing the symbols, any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is When operated, the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R stop rotating and the symbols are stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is set to 190 ms (milliseconds) in non-CB time.

  The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch Can be displayed on the active line.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 75 ms (milliseconds) only at the time of CB described later. ) Is set. During 75 ms, a maximum of one frame can be drawn. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are one frame ahead of the symbols, and the symbols for two frames in total. For this reason, at the time of CB, it becomes possible to win a prize depending largely on the skill of the player.

[Configuration of slot machine]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the slot machine 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 1 is provided with a game control board 40, an effect control board 90, and a power supply board 101. The game state is controlled by the game control board 40, and the game state is controlled by the effect control board 90. The production according to the control is controlled, and the power supply board 101 generates the drive power for the electrical components constituting the slot machine 1 and supplies them to each part.

  The power supply board 101 is supplied with AC100V power from the outside, and a DC voltage necessary for driving the electrical components constituting the slot machine 1 is generated from the AC100V power supply. The game control board 40 and the game control board 40 It is supplied to the production control board 90 connected through the. In addition, a command transmission line from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, which will be described later, and a power supply line for supplying power from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 are connected through a single system of cable and connector. All the connectors that connect these cables and the respective boards are connected to each other so that the respective parts on the side of the effect control board 90 can be operated and the command from the main control part 41 can be received. . For this reason, unless the command transmission line for transmitting a command from the main control unit 41 is connected to the effect control board 90, power is not supplied to the effect control board 90, and only the effect control board 90 side operates. There is no end to it.

  The power board 101 is connected to the hopper motor 34b, the payout sensor 34c, the full sensor 35a, the setting key switch 37, the reset / setting switch 38, and the power switch 39.

  On the game control board 40, the above-described MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, settlement switch 10, reset switch 23, stop switch 36a, automatic settlement switch 36b, insertion medal sensor 31, door open The detection switch 25 and reel sensors 33L, 33C, and 33R are connected, and the above-mentioned payout sensor 34c, full sensor 35a, setting key switch 37, and reset / setting switch 38 are connected via the power supply board 101. The detection signals of these connected switches are input.

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

  The game control board 40 includes a microcomputer having a main CPU 41a, ROM 41b, RAM 41c, and I / O port 41d. The main control unit 41 controls the game, and a predetermined range (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment). Detects a detection signal input from a random number circuit 42 that generates a random number, a pulse oscillator 43 that supplies a clock signal having a constant frequency to the random number circuit 42, and switches connected to the game control board 40 directly or via the power supply board 101 A switch detection circuit 44, a motor drive circuit 45 that controls the drive of the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R, a solenoid drive circuit 46 that controls the drive of the flow path switching solenoid 30, various displays connected to the game control board 40, LED drive circuit 47 for controlling the drive of the LED, used for the slot machine 1 When the power supply voltage is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, a power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41, an initialization command from power on or from the main CPU 41a A reset circuit 49 for providing a reset signal to the main CPU 41a when no signal is input, and other various devices and circuits are mounted.

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

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). Note that the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repetition of the process depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  In the power interruption interrupt process, the execution of other interrupt processes is prohibited with the start of the process. Then, a process of saving all registers that may be in use to the RAM 41c is performed. As a result, it is possible to return to the original processing when the power interruption is restored.

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

  Thus, in the power interruption processing, the RAM parity at that time is calculated and stored in the parity storage area, and is stored in the RAM 41c by comparing with the RAM parity calculated at the next startup. It is possible to check whether the data being processed is normal.

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

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. Here, from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90, for example, by using a unidirectional circuit such as a diode or a transistor, only in one direction (direction from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90). The signal is configured not to pass. Therefore, a command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. Command transmission from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is performed by serial communication. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not limited to being directly connected, and may be configured to be connected via a relay board, for example.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90. In addition, an effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

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

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED55 are illustrated as an effect device, an effect device is not limited to these, For example, it drives mechanically. A display device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the rendering device.

  The effect control board 90 is configured by a microcomputer including a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and an I / O port 91d like the main control unit 41. The effect control board 90 performs drive control of the sub-control unit 91 that controls the effect, the display control circuit 92 that controls the display of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the effect control board 90, the effect LED 52, and the reel LED 55. An LED output circuit 93, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, a reset circuit 95 for giving a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time; A switch detection circuit 96 that detects a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1, and indicates that when a voltage drop is detected. Power failure detection circuit 98 for outputting a voltage drop signal to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. It is mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives commands transmitted from the game control board 40, performs various controls for performing effects, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. .

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

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

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

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

[Settings]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise. Note that the CB winning probability is a constant winning probability in any gaming state without depending on the set value. Note that the winning probability corresponding to the set value may be used for CB as well as other small roles.

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

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24, so that the setting value can be confirmed. Transition. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the main control unit 41 ensures that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. If it is determined that the control state is restored to the control state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data stored in the RAM 41c that is necessary for the return of the control state in the event of a power failure is provided. It is good also as a structure which returns to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time of power activation.

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

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

  Important work includes various display devices, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, and other data that may be inconvenient to initialize, and the game state is controlled to any of RT0 to RT3. This is a work in which an RT flag for specifying whether or not it has been stored. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work includes a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals to be paid out, a total number of medals paid out in a predetermined gaming state (for example, a state advantageous to the player such as RT3 described later), a gaming state flag described later, and the like. It is a work that stores data that can sometimes be initialized. The special work is a work in which data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the start of setting is stored. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 uses the RAM 41c when activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when a RAM abnormal error has occurred, when the predetermined gaming state has ended, and when activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. When the data is not destroyed, when the five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations with different areas initialized according to each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is on at the time of start-up and transitions to the setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The After initialization 1 is executed, the game state is controlled to RT0 described later. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of a predetermined gaming state. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, that is, from the general work to the unused stack area. The area is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

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

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a RAM abnormality error occurs at the time of power-on or the like, initialization 1 is executed, and the control state before that is initialized.

[Game processing]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the game process executed by the main control unit 41 after the setting change process.

  In the game process, a BET process (S1), an internal lottery process (S2), a reel rotation process (S3), a winning determination process (S4), a payout process (S5), and a game end process (S6) are executed in order. When the end-time process ends, the process returns to the BET process again.

  In the BET process in step S1, the process waits in a state where a bet number can be set, and a process for starting a game when a specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state and the start switch 7 is operated is executed. . In the BET process, as a process for starting the game, when the start switch 7 is operated, an output command for instructing output of a medal IN signal for the number of medals used for the set bet number is set in the RAM 41c. To do.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a prescribed number of bets that can be set is determined according to the gaming state (CB, non-CB), and a prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. The game can be started on the condition that it has been played. More specifically, when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state (for example, 3 for non-CB) is set, the pay line is activated and the game can be started.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment wins when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped and a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged on the activated effective line. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with medal payout and the start of the next game without the need to set the number of bets. And a CB combination that can be CB-winned. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role.

  In the internal lottery process in the step S2, it is determined whether or not the winning of each above-mentioned combination is allowed based on the internal lottery random value latched simultaneously with the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step S1. Perform processing. In the internal lottery process, a winning flag is set in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 based on each lottery result.

  In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Of the winning flags for each winning combination, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing winning combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do.

  In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is set to the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined depending on whether or not it is a gaming state and CB, in order to identify the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for identifying the gaming state, RT This is performed according to the value of the RT flag, the value of the CB flag for specifying whether it is CB, the number of bets and the number of determination values of each combination determined according to the set value.

  The random value storage work is a storage area in which numerical data latched simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 7 is stored. Every time new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is processed by a timer interruption process thereafter. The numerical data read in (main) and stored in the random value storage work is updated to the latest numerical data latched newly.

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, a CB flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are used as random numbers for internal lottery (for lottery use) When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  When a winning combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work is constituted by a storage area of 2 bytes, for example. When the general combination is won, the winning flag of the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no combination or combination of combinations is won, the general combination storing work is cleared.

  In the reel rotation process in the step of S3, the process of rotating each reel 2L, 2C, 2R and the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R by the player is detected, and the corresponding reel 2L, 2C, 2R A process for stopping the rotation is executed.

  Here, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R will be described. The main control unit 41 generates a table index and a table that are stored in the ROM of the main control unit 41 when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel is stopped and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Referring to the data, a stop control table is created for each rotating reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

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

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

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is that all reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, or only the right reel is stopped. Depending on whether the left and middle reels are stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and one of the reels is stopped Since the situation may vary depending on the stop position of the stopped reel, the address of the stop control table to be referenced is registered for each rotating reel for each situation, and the start address of the table creation data The address of the stop control table to be referred to according to each situation can be specified based on the specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control tables required in accordance with the situation. Even when the stop status of the reels and the stop position of the stopped reels are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn in as much as possible within the range of 4 frames on the active line, and the winning combination is not drawn on the active line. Create a stop control table with the number of sliding symbols and perform reel stop control. On the other hand, if you do not win any of the roles, stop control with the number of sliding symbols that does not match any of the roles A table is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the active line within the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If the winning combination is not drawn, it will be controlled so that it can be stopped in a drawing range of up to 4 frames.

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, on the main control unit 41 side, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels according to the player's stop operation. On the sub-control unit 91 side, if the left reel 2L is not stopped for the first time in a non-AT game, that is, a game that is not played when the left reel 2L is stopped for the first time. Control is performed to give a predetermined penalty that is disadvantageous to the user. This is to cause the left first stop in a game whose performance state is non-AT. That is, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is designed to stop at the first left in a non-AT game.

  In this embodiment, as a penalty imposed when the first left stop is not performed in a non-AT game, an AT lottery described later is not executed during a period of 6 games. As a result, if a penalty is imposed, it becomes difficult to win a promotion lip or a rush lip, which will be described later, and it becomes difficult to shift to RT2 or RT3 which is advantageous to the player. For this reason, the player makes a first left stop during non-AT so that no penalty is imposed. The penalty is not limited to the above. For example, in the AT lottery, the probability that a navigation stock described later will be awarded is lower than when no penalty is imposed, or the number of navigation stock when awarded is less than when no penalty is imposed May be reduced. Furthermore, the navigation stock already owned may be canceled. Further, it may not be performed such as freezing that suggests that the degree of advantage for the player is improved.

  The AT is an effect state controlled by the sub-control unit 91 and refers to an assist time that is a notification period in which a navigation effect for notifying information (such as an operation procedure) according to the internal lottery result can be executed.

  In the winning determination process in step S4, when it is determined in step S3 that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has been stopped, a winning is determined according to the display result derived for each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. A process of determining whether or not it has occurred is executed. In S4, when the display result accompanied with the transition of the gaming state is stopped, the RT flag and the CB flag are updated to values for specifying the gaming state according to the display result. Thereby, it is possible to shift to a gaming state according to the display result.

  In the payout process in step S5, when it is determined in step S4 that a winning has occurred, processes such as adding credits and paying out medals are performed based on the number of payouts corresponding to the win. In the payout process, an output command for instructing output of a medal OUT signal for the number of medals given to the player by adding credits and paying out medals is set in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41.

  In the game end process in step S6, a process for setting a gaming state in preparation for the next game is executed.

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including a game state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

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

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the bet amount in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

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

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

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command specifies whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, or the right reel 2R, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. This is a possible command and is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning judgment command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the active line, the presence / absence of a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning. Will be sent later.

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

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state (RT type, presence / absence of CB, etc.) of the next game, and is transmitted at the end of the game.

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

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state. After the predetermined gaming state, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted, the reset operation is performed, and the stop state is released. At that time, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

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

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

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

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

  The operation detection command is a switch in which the detection state (on / off) has changed among the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on, This command indicates whether the state has changed from on to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch, and is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches has changed.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the sub-control unit 91.

  The operation detection command is used when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main) (when edge data of any switch is set). Is generated and stored in the operation detection command storage area, and when an operation detection command transmission request is set, transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed, and a timer allocation executed thereafter In the command transmission process of the embedded process (main), it is stored in the command buffer and transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the symbol pattern is aligned on any active line. As described above, the types of winning combinations include a small combination, a re-playing combination, and a CB combination. In addition, the winning combination includes a transition combination accompanied by a transition of the gaming state.

  In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to occur, a winning flag indicating that winning of the winning combination is permitted and set in the RAM of the main control unit 41 is required. There is.

[Winner, missed out]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, the number of payouts / actuation, and related information on winning combinations. Further, FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a missing outage that is stopped on the active line only when a predetermined small combination is missed.

  In the present embodiment, as a plurality of types of winning combinations, CB which is a CB combination, Lips 1 to 12 which are re-playing combinations, JAC which is a small combination, AT1 to 18, Strawberry, and chances 1 and 2 Is provided.

  CB wins when the combination of “JAC3-JAC2-JAC3” is aligned on the active line. In the description of the symbol combination in the present embodiment, “-” indicates “adjacent reel separation”, the left indicates “left reel 2L symbol”, and the middle indicates “middle reel 2C symbol”. The right shows the “design of the right reel 2R”.

  Among the symbols constituting the CB, “JAC3”, which is the symbol of the left reel 2L and the right reel 2R, is not arranged within 5 frames each. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the five effective lines, that is, the winning lines L1 to L5 are activated, so that “JAC3” is set to any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L and 8R. Can be stopped. Further, since “JAC2”, which is the symbol of the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, it can be stopped at any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C. Therefore, when the CB is won in the internal lottery, the winning CB can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In other words, CB is an unmissable role. When winning a CB, the CB is operated without changing the RT state described later before and after the CB winning. Note that medals are not paid out when winning a CB.

  Of the re-game players, Lip 1 is awarded when the combination of “Lip-Lip-Lip” is aligned on the active line. “Lip”, which is a symbol of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, is arranged within 5 frames each, so that any one of them regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. It is possible to stop at the active line. Therefore, when winning Lip 1 in the internal lottery, winning Lip 1 can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. That is, Lip 1 is an unmissable role. When winning a lip 1, the RT state is maintained without shifting, so the lip 1 is also referred to as a maintenance lip.

  Lip 2 is awarded when the combination of “Lip-JAC2-JAC3” is aligned on the active line. Since the “lip” as the symbol of the left reel 2L is arranged within 5 frames, it can be stopped at any valid line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. Further, since “JAC2”, which is the symbol of the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, it can be stopped at any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C. On the other hand, the symbol “JAC3” of the right reel 2R is not arranged within 5 frames. However, by enabling five types of winning lines L1 to L5 as effective lines, it is possible to stop “JAC3” on any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8R. Therefore, when the lip 2 is won in the internal lottery, the selected lip 2 can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In other words, Lip 2 is an unmissable role. Since the RT state shifts from RT1 to RT2 when winning a lip 2, the lip 2 is also called a promotion lip.

  Lip 3 is awarded when the combination of “Lip-Lip-Bell a” is aligned on the active line. “Lip”, which is a symbol of the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, and can be stopped at any valid line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L and 8C. . On the other hand, the symbol “bell a” of the right reel 2R is not arranged within 5 frames. Furthermore, “bell a” may not be able to stop at any valid line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8R. Therefore, when the lip 3 is won in the internal lottery, the winning lip 3 cannot be won unless the stop switch 8R is operated at an appropriate timing. In other words, Lip 3 is a missed role. When winning in Lip 3, the RT state shifts from RT2 or RT3 to RT1, and therefore Lip 3 is also referred to as a falling lip.

  The lip 4 is awarded when the combination of “lip-lip-bell b” is aligned on the active line. “Lip”, which is a symbol of the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, and can be stopped at any valid line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L and 8C. . On the other hand, the symbol “bell b” of the right reel 2R is not arranged within five frames. Furthermore, “bell b” may not be able to stop at any valid line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8R. Therefore, when the lip 4 is won in the internal lottery, the winning lip 4 cannot be won unless the stop switch 8R is operated at an appropriate timing. In other words, Lip 4 is a missed role. Since the RT state shifts from RT2 or RT3 to RT1 when winning the Lip 4, the Lip 4 is also referred to as a falling lip.

  The lip 5 is awarded when the combination of “lip-lip-bell c” is aligned on the active line. “Lip”, which is a symbol of the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, and can be stopped at any valid line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L and 8C. . On the other hand, the symbol “bell c” of the right reel 2R is not arranged within 5 frames. Further, “bell c” may not be able to stop at any valid line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8R. Therefore, when the lip 5 is won in the internal lottery, the winning lip 5 cannot be won unless the stop switch 8R is operated at an appropriate timing. In other words, Lip 5 is a missed role. Since the RT state shifts from RT2 or RT3 to RT1 when winning the Lip 5, the Lip 5 is also referred to as a falling lip.

  Lip 6 is awarded when the combination of “JAC3-JAC2-White 7” is aligned on the active line. The symbol “JAC3” of the left reel 2L is not arranged within 5 frames. However, by enabling five types of winning lines L1 to L5 as effective lines, it is possible to stop “JAC3” on any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. Further, since “JAC2”, which is the symbol of the middle reel 2C, is arranged within 5 frames, it can be stopped at any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C.

The spilled pattern 16 is a symbol combination in which “bell b-bell b-JAC3” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eyes 17 refer to symbol combinations in which “bell c-bell a-JAC3” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eyes 18 refer to symbol combinations in which “bell c-bell b-JAC3” is stopped on the active line.

  In a game in which the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 are selected among the small roles, if any of the winning combinations included in the winning combination cannot be generated, it is spilled. Any one of the eyes 1 to 18 is led to the effective line, and the RT state is shifted to RT1.

[Game state transition]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 8, the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment is controlled by the main control unit 41 to one of four game states (also referred to as RT states) RT0 to RT3.

  RT0 is a gaming state controlled after changing the setting of the winning probability of internal lottery. RT1 is normally a gaming state that takes the longest time to be controlled. Transition to RT1 is made when a missed outcome is derived in the game at RT0. RT2 is a gaming state in which the probability of replaying is higher than RT1. Transition to RT2 is made when winning a promotion lip in a game in RT1. On the other hand, when a winning or missed outcome is derived for the falling lip in the game at RT2, the routine proceeds to RT1. RT3 is a gaming state in which the probability of winning the re-gamer is higher than RT2. Transition to RT3 is made when winning the entry lip in the game in RT2. On the other hand, when a winning or missed outcome is derived for the falling lip in the game at RT3, the process proceeds to RT1. Further, in the present embodiment, in any of RT0 to RT3, by winning a CB, a game in CB is executed while maintaining the RT state. CB is also referred to as a challenge bonus, and a game in which all the small roles of JAC, AT1 to 18, strawberries, and chances 1 and 2 are won among the lottery target roles described later. Therefore, in the game during CB, winning of a small role can be made every game by the player's eye.

[A lottery target for non-CB, number of judgment values, reel control]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the lottery target combination read in the internal lottery during non-CB, the number of determination values of the lottery target combination, and the reel control in the game winning the lottery target combination will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0 to RT3, the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are different. In FIGS. 9 and 10, the vertical column shows the names of the lottery target roles that can be read out in the internal lottery, and the horizontal column shows the combination of winning combinations, the gaming state to be selected for each lottery target role, and The contents of reel control are shown.

  As the lottery target combination, there are provided a combination that is internally drawn for only one winning combination and a combination that is internally selected for a plurality of winning combinations. The internal lottery corresponding to the lottery target combination is shown in the winning combination column.

  In the game state column corresponding to the lottery target role, a circle indicates that the lottery target role is read in the internal lottery when the game state is in effect, and no mark indicates an internal lottery when the game state is in effect. Indicates that the lottery target combination is not read out.

  Moreover, the numerical value shown below (circle) shows the number of judgment values. An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” in correspondence with a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “1600” is set as the number of determination values is 1600/65536. In the internal lottery, if no winning lottery is won, the game is lost.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the internal lottery, when JAC is read out of the lottery object combinations, a winning / not-win lottery is performed for JAC that is a winning combination corresponding to JAC.

  When the left bell 1 is read out of the lottery object, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT1, AT2, AT3, AT4, AT5, and AT6 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the left bell 1. .

  When the left bell 2 is read out of the lottery target combination, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT7, AT8, AT9, AT10, AT11, and AT12 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the left bell 2. .

  When the left bell 3 is read out of the lottery object combination, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT13, AT14, AT15, AT16, AT17, and AT18 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the left bell 3. .

  When the middle bell 1 is read out of the lottery winning combinations, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT1, AT4, AT8, AT11, AT15, and AT18, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the middle bell 1. .

  When the middle bell 2 is read out of the lottery winning combinations, the winning lottery is performed for all JAC, AT2, AT5, AT9, AT12, AT13, and AT16 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the middle bell 2. .

  When the middle bell 3 is read out of the lottery winning combinations, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT3, AT6, AT7, AT10, AT14, and AT17, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the middle bell 3. .

  When the right bell 1 is read out of the lottery object, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT1, AT4, AT7, AT10, AT13, and AT16, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the right bell 1. .

  When the right bell 2 is read out of the lottery subject, a winning / failing lottery is performed for all JAC, AT2, AT5, AT8, AT11, AT14, and AT17, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the right bell 2. .

  When the right bell 3 is read out of the lottery winning combinations, the winning lottery is performed for all JAC, AT3, AT6, AT9, AT12, AT15, and AT18 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the right bell 3. .

  When a strawberry is read out of the lottery target combination, a winning / no-win lottery for the strawberry is performed.

  When the chance 1 is read out of the lottery object combination, the winning / no-win lottery for the chance 1 is performed.

  When the chance 2 is read out of the lottery object combination, the winning / no-win lottery for the chance 2 is performed.

  When CB is read out of the lottery object combination, whether or not the lottery is performed for CB is performed.

  In any gaming state of RT0-3, JAC, left bell 1-3, middle bell 1-3, right bell 1-3, strawberry, chance 1, chance 2, and CB are subject to internal lottery. Read sequentially.

  Also, in any gaming state of RT0 to RT3, the number of determination values common to each lottery role is determined regardless of the gaming state. That is, the winning probability of winning a small role and CB in the internal lottery is constant regardless of the gaming state. Note that the winning probability of winning a small combination and CB in the internal lottery may be determined so as to differ depending on a set value that is set.

  Next, the contents of the reel control described in the right column will be described. The winning combination determined according to the type of the winning lottery selected (winning winning combination) and the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are aligned on the active line and stopped within a maximum drawing range of 4 frames. Control is performed.

  When one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 is selected, the reel (first stop reel) that is first stopped is the left reel 2L, Depending on whether the reel is the middle reel 2C or the right reel 2R, control is performed so that either the JAC or the winning AT combination is aligned and stopped on the active line within a drawing range of up to four frames.

  For example, when any one of the left bells 1 to 3 wins and the first left stop is performed, control is performed so that the JACs of the selected small combination are aligned on the active line and stopped. On the other hand, if one of the left bells 1 to 3 is elected and the first middle stop or the first right stop is performed, one of the winning AT roles is aligned on the active line within the retractable range and stopped. To control. As described above, the AT role is a missed role. Therefore, when each of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped at an appropriate timing according to any of the winning AT roles, it can win the corresponding AT role, but stops at an appropriate timing. When no operation is performed, a control is performed to stop any of the missed spots shown in FIG. 7 on the active line without winning a prize.

  When any one of the middle bells 1 to 3 is elected and stopped for the first time in the middle, control is performed so that the JACs in the elected small role are aligned and stopped on the active line. On the other hand, if any one of the middle bells 1 to 3 wins and the first left stop or the first right stop, any of the winning AT roles are aligned on the effective line within the drawable range and stopped. To control. When each of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped at an appropriate timing according to any of the winning AT roles, it can win the corresponding AT role, but stops at an appropriate timing. When no operation is performed, a control is performed to stop any of the missed spots shown in FIG. 7 on the active line without winning a prize.

  When one of the right bells 1 to 3 is elected and the first right stop is performed, control is performed so that the JACs of the elected small roles are aligned on the effective line and stopped. On the other hand, if any of the right bells 1 to 3 wins and the first left stop or the middle first stop, any of the winning AT roles are aligned on the active line within the drawable range and stopped. To control. When each of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped at an appropriate timing according to any of the winning AT roles, it can win the corresponding AT role, but stops at an appropriate timing. When no operation is performed, a control is performed to stop any of the missed spots shown in FIG. 7 on the active line without winning a prize.

  As described above, when one of the left bells 1 to 3 is won, the reel control is performed so that the JAC is surely won when the first left stop is performed, and when it is other than the first left stop, The reel control is performed so that any of the winning AT roles is won only when the pull-in is possible, and when the pull-in is impossible, all of them are dropped out, and the missed lead is derived.

  In addition, when one of the middle bells 1 to 3 is won, the reel control is performed so that the JAC is surely won when the middle first stop is made, and when it is other than the middle first stop, it can be pulled in. In any case, the reel control is performed so that any one of the winning AT roles is won, and when it is impossible to pull in, all are dropped, and the missed result is derived.

  In addition, when one of the right bells 1 to 3 is won, the reel control is performed so that the JAC is surely won when the right first stop is made, and when it is other than the right first stop, the reel can be pulled in. In any case, the reel control is performed so that any one of the winning AT roles is won, and when it is impossible to pull in, all are dropped, and the missed result is derived.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, JAC is determined depending on which of the left bells 1 to 3 is won, which of the middle bells 1 to 3 is won, and which of the right bells 1 to 3 is won. By differentiating the first stop reel for surely winning, it is possible to vary the operation procedure for winning (operating procedure for winning) and avoiding the losing out of the lead. . That is, the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 are associated with push orders (hereinafter also referred to as “specific push orders”). In the example of FIG. 9, the specific pushing orders of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 are the first left stop, the first middle stop, and the first right stop.

  The reason why the reel control as described above is performed is that when the player operates the stop switch, the reel is stopped by preferentially drawing a symbol for winning a winning combination with a large number of payouts on the active line. Alternatively, it is uniquely determined whether to draw a symbol for winning a winning combination having a high possibility of winning a prize on the effective line and stop the reel.

  For example, if the first stop made by the player when winning the left bell 1 is the first left stop, the winning combination included in the left bell 1 is for winning a JAC with a large number of payouts. The reel is stopped by drawing the symbol on the effective line. On the other hand, if the first stop made by the player when winning the left bell 1 is the middle first stop or the right first stop, there is a possibility of winning among the winning combinations included in the left bell 1 The reel is stopped by drawing a symbol for winning a high AT role on the active line.

  A specific example in which a symbol for winning an AT combination with a high possibility of winning is drawn on the active line and the reel is stopped will be described below. For example, when the first stop made by the player when winning the left bell 1 is the middle first stop, as shown in FIG. 6, any combination included in the left bell 1 is won. In order to do this, it is necessary to pull the “JAC2”, “Bell a”, or “Bell b” onto the effective line to stop the reel. Here, there are more choices for winning a combination of drawing “Bell a” or “Bell b” on the active line than drawing “JAC2” on the active line (for example, if “JAC2” is stopped) There is only one type of combination of “JAC”, but when “Bell a” is stopped, there are three types of winning combinations of “AT1”, “AT2”, and “AT3”). Therefore, when the first stop is the middle first stop, the reel is stopped by drawing a symbol for winning one of the AT roles having a high possibility of winning a prize on the effective line. .

  In RT2 or RT3, if any one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 is selected and operated in a specific push order, JAC wins and RT The state is maintained and 14 medals are paid out. On the other hand, if any of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 is operated in a pressing order other than the specific pressing order at RT2 or RT3, it will be missed. Eyes may be derived, in which case the RT state falls to RT1. Since RT1 is an unfavorable RT state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is lower than RT2 and RT3, any of left bells 1-3, middle bells 1-3, and right bells 1-3 in RT2 or RT3 When Kana is won, the player is more likely to be disadvantaged when operated in a procedure other than the specific push order than when operated in the specific push order. Therefore, it can be said that the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 are roles that can change the RT state greatly depending on the pushing order and can greatly vary the advantage.

  On the other hand, for JAC, strawberry, chance 1, chance 2 and CB, if they are not missed regardless of the pressing order, they will win the corresponding role. Further, for JAC, strawberry, chance 1, chance 2, and CB, the RT state does not change before and after winning. Therefore, it can be said that JAC, strawberry, chance 1, chance 2, and CB have the same advantage regardless of the pressing order.

  In the present embodiment, the winning combination whose advantage differs depending on the pressing order as described above is referred to as a first winning combination, and the winning combination having the same advantage regardless of the pressing order is also referred to as a second winning combination. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the first winning combination at the time of non-CB includes left bells 1 to 3, middle bells 1 to 3, and right bells 1 to 3. In addition, the second winning combination at the time of non-CB includes JAC, strawberry, chance 1, chance 2 and CB.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the winning probability of the left bells 1 to 3 is set to be lower than that of the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3. In addition, as described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the game in which the performance state is non-AT, if the first left stop is not performed, the left penalty is imposed by taking a predetermined penalty that is disadvantageous for the player. Designed to stop first. For this reason, although the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 have a higher winning probability than the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 are not used during non-AT. When winning, it will be difficult to win JAC reliably. Therefore, even if it is controlled to RT2 during non-AT, it is difficult to maintain the RT2 because the missed outcome is derived with a high probability. On the other hand, when the production state is AT, the stop operation is performed according to the operation procedure according to the navigation production when the left bell 1 to 3, the middle bell 1 to 3, and the right bell 1 to 3 are won. , JAC can be surely won, and falling to RT1 can be avoided.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, when the normal lip 1 is read out of the lottery object combinations, a winning / no-win lottery is performed on the lip 1 that is the winning combination corresponding to the normal lip 1.

  When the normal lip 2 is read out of the lottery object combination, a winning / no-win lottery is performed for lip 1 and lip 7 which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the normal lip 2.

  When the normal lip 3 is read out of the lottery object combination, a winning / no-win lottery is performed for lip 1, lip 7 and lip 8, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the normal lip 3.

  When the winning combination + winning Lip 1 is read out of the lottery winning combinations, the winning combinations corresponding to the winning + rising Lip 1 are Lip 1, Lip 2, Lip 7, Lip 10, Lip 11, and Lip 12. A lottery will be held.

  When the winning combination winning combination 2 is read out, the combination of winning combination corresponding to the winning combination + rising Lip 2, Lip 1, Lip 2, Lip 7, Lip 10, Lip 11, Lip 12, and A lottery for Lip 3 is performed.

  When a winning combination + rising lip 3 is read out of the lottery winning combination, Lip 1, Lip 2, Lip 7, Lip 10, Lip 11, Lip 12, Lip, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the passing + rising Lip 3 Winning lottery for 4 and Lip 5 is performed.

  When the winning combination + winning Lip 4 is read out of the lottery winning combination, Lip 1, Lip 2, Lip 7, Lip 10, Lip 11, Lip 12, Lip, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the winning + rising Lip 4 The winning / no-win lottery for 3, Lip 4 and Lip 5 is performed.

  When the winning combination of the winning combination corresponding to the passing + turning Lip 1 is read out, the winning lottery is performed for Lip 1, Lip 3, Lip 4, and Lip 5 which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the passing + turning Lip 1. .

  When the winning combination of the winning combination corresponding to the passing + turning Lip 2 is read out, the winning lottery for Lip 1, Lip 3, Lip 4, Lip 5, and Lip 2 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the passing + turning Lip 2 is read out. Is done.

  When the winning combination of the winning combination is read out, the winning lottery for Lip 1, Lip 3, Lip 4, Lip 5, and Lip 6 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the winning combination + lip 3 is read. Is done.

  When the winning combination “Clip + Clip 1” is read out, the winning lottery for Lip 1, Lip 6, Lip 10, Lip 11, and Lip 12 that are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to “Clip + Clip 1” is selected. Is done.

  When a winning combination + clash Lip 2 is read out of the lottery target combination, Rip 1, Lip 6, Lip 10, Rip 11, Lip 12, and Rip 2, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the passing + clash Lip 2. A lottery will be held.

  When a winning combination + clash Lip 3 is read out of the lottery object, Rip 1, Lip 6, Lip 10, Lip 11, Lip 12, and Rip 7 are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the winning combination + clash Lip 3. A lottery will be held.

  When Chan Lip 1 is read out of the lottery object, a winning / losing lottery is performed for Lip 1, Lip 7, and Lip 3, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to Chan Lip 1.

  When Chan Lip 2 is read out of the lottery object, a winning / no-win lottery is performed for Lip 1, Lip 7, Lip 4, and Lip 5, which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to Chan Lip 2.

  When Chan Lip 3 is read out of the lottery object, a winning / no-win lottery is performed on Lip 1, Lip 7, Lip 3, Lip 4, and Lip 5 which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to Chan Lip 3.

  When a 7-set lip is read out of the lottery winning combinations, a winning / no-go lottery is performed for Lip 1, Lip 6, Lip 7, Lip 8, and Lip 9 which are combinations of winning combinations corresponding to the 7-set lip.

  When 7 out of the lottery winning combinations are read out, the winning lottery for Lip 1, Lip 6, Lip 7, Lip 8, Lip 9, and Lip 2 is a combination of winning combinations corresponding to 7 out Done.

  Further, in the gaming state of RT0, the normal lip 1 is read out as a target combination for internal lottery.

  In the gaming state of RT1, normal lip 1 and pass + ascending lip 1 to 4 are sequentially read out as a target combination of internal lottery.

  In the gaming state of RT2, normal lip 1, pass + roll lip 1-3, and pass + clip lip 1-3 are sequentially read out as a target combination for internal lottery.

  In the gaming state of RT3, the normal lip 2, the normal lip 3, the pass + roll lip 1-3, the chan lip 1-3, the 7-aligned lip, and the 7-off lip are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  Here, the normal lip 2, the normal lip 3, the chan lip 1-3, the 7-equipped lip, and the 7-out lip are set as the lottery target combination only when the game state is RT3. Therefore, RT3 has a higher probability of replaying than other gaming states. Further, as will be described later, the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 are the only functions capable of paying out 14 sheets during the CB. Therefore, there is a possibility of paying out 14 cards in a game in CB only at RT3. Further, as will be described later, when a 7-piece lip is won, an AT lottery is executed. Therefore, the possibility that the AT lottery is executed in RT3 is higher than in other game states.

  Next, the contents of the reel control will be described. In the case where the winning combination + rising lip 1 is won and the first left stop is made, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + promotion lip 1 is elected, the first stop in the middle and then the second stop on the left, the lip 2 (promotional lip) of the elected re-game players is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control. Further, when the pass + ascending lip 1 is won, the first stop is made during the middle, and then the second stop is made at the right, then lip 7 (chance lip) of the selected re-playing players is aligned and stopped on the active line Take control. Further, when the pass + rising lip 1 is won and the first right stop is made, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In the case where the winning combination + rising lip 2 is won and the first stop is made on the left, control is performed so that lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + ascending lip 2 is won, and the first stop in the middle and then the second stop on the left, the lip 7 (chance lip) of the selected re-game players is aligned on the active line and stopped. Take control. In addition, when the pass + promotion lip 2 is elected, the first stop in the middle, and then the second stop on the right, the lip 2 (promotional lip) of the elected re-game players is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control. Further, when the pass + ascending lip 2 is won and the first right stop is made, the control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In the case where the winning combination + rising lip 3 is won and the first stop is made on the left, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + rising lip 3 is won and is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + promotion lip 3 is won, the right first stop and then the second left stop, the lip 2 (promotion lip) of the selected re-game players is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control. Furthermore, when the pass + ascending lip 3 is won, the first stop to the right and then the second stop in the middle, the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control.

  In the case where the winning combination + rising lip 4 is won and the first stop is made on the left, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + rising lip 4 is won and is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + ascending lip 4 is won, the first stop on the right and then the second stop on the left, the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing players is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control. Furthermore, when the pass + promotion lip 4 is won, and the first stop to the right and then the second stop in the middle, the lip 2 (promotion lip) of the selected re-playing players is aligned and stopped on the active line. Take control.

  As described above, when any of the pass + promotion lip 1 to 4 is won, the maintenance lip always wins as long as the first left stop is made, and the promotion lip cannot be won. . Further, as described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is designed so that the first left stop is performed in a game whose performance state is non-AT. For this reason, it is difficult to make sure that the promotion lip is won in a case where any one of the communication + promotion lip 1 to 4 is won during non-AT. Therefore, when it is controlled to RT1 during non-AT, it is difficult to promote the promotion lip to RT2 by winning the promotion lip. On the other hand, when the production state is AT, the promotion lip can be reliably won by performing a stop operation according to the operation procedure according to the navigation production at the time of winning the pass + promotion lip 1-4. , Can be promoted to RT2.

  In the case where the pass-through-lip 1 is won and the first left stop is made, control is performed so that the lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + roll 1 is elected and is stopped for the first time, control is performed to stop any of the replayed winning teams with Lips 3 to 5 (falling lip) aligned on the active line. Do. In addition, when the pass + roll 1 is won and the first right stop is made, control is performed to stop any of the selected re-playing players with Lip 3 to 5 (falling lip) aligned on the active line. Do.

  In the case where the winning combination + roll 2 is won and the first stop is made on the left, control is performed so that any of the winning re-game players 3 to 5 (falling lip) is aligned on the active line and stopped. In addition, when the pass + roll 2 is won and stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In addition, when the pass + roll 2 is won and the first stop is made to the right, control is performed to stop any of the replayed players who have won by aligning any of Lips 3 to 5 (falling lip) on the active line. Do.

  In the case where the winning combination + lip 3 is won and the first stop is made on the left, control is performed so that any one of rep 3 to 5 (falling lip) among the selected re-game players is aligned on the active line and stopped. In addition, when the pass + roll 3 is elected and is stopped for the first time, control is performed to stop any of the replayed winning teams by aligning any of Lips 3 to 5 (falling lip) on the active line. Do. In addition, when the pass + roll 3 is won and the first right stop is made, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  As described above, when winning the winning + turning lip 2 or passing + turning lip 3, the falling lip always wins as long as the first left stop is made. Further, as described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is designed so that the first left stop is performed in a game whose performance state is non-AT. For this reason, when winning through the roll + roll 2 or the roll + roll 3 during the non-AT, there is a high possibility of winning the fall lip. Therefore, even if it is controlled to RT2 during non-AT, there is a high possibility of falling to RT1 by winning the falling lip. On the other hand, when the production state is AT, the winning operation of the falling lip is avoided by performing the stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure according to the navigation production when winning the pass + ascending lip 2 or passing + ascending lip 3 RT2 can be maintained.

  In the case where the winning combination “+” and “Lip 1” is won and the first left stop is made, control is performed so that Lip 6 (rush lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned on the active line and stopped. In the case where the winning combination “+” and “Lip 1” is won and stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line. In the case where the winning combination “+” and “Lip 1” is won and the first right stop is performed, the control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In a case where the winning combination “+” and “Lip 2” is won and the first left stop is performed, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line. In the case where the winning combination + the lip 2 is won and the first stop is made, the control is performed so that the lip 6 (the rushing lip) out of the selected re-game players is aligned and stopped on the active line. In the case where the winning combination “+” and “Clip 2” is won and the first stop is made to the right, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In the case where the winning combination “+” and “Lip 3” is won and the first left stop is performed, the control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In the case where the winning combination “+” and “repeat 3” is won and stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line. In a case where the winning combination “+” and “Rip 3” is won and the first right stop is performed, control is performed so that Lip 6 (rush lip) of the selected re-game player is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In this way, when winning through rush + rush lip 2 or through + lip lip 3, as long as the first stop left, the maintenance lip always wins, it is not possible to win the rush lip Yes. Further, as described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is designed so that the first left stop is performed in a game whose performance state is non-AT. For this reason, it is difficult to make sure that the entry lip is won in a case where the winning combination is the winning combination of the “++” lip 2 or the “++” 3 during the non-AT. Therefore, even if it is controlled to RT2 during non-AT, it is difficult to win the rush lip and promote to RT3. On the other hand, when the production state is AT, the rush lip is surely won by performing the stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure according to the navigation production when winning the “++ Lip 2” or “++ Trip 3”. Can be promoted to RT3.

  When Chan Lip 1 is won and the first left stop is made, control is performed so that Lip 7 (chance lip) of the selected re-playing combination is aligned on the active line and stopped. When Chan Lip 1 is elected and is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing combination is aligned on the active line and stopped. When Chan Lip 1 is elected and is stopped for the first time on the right, control is performed such that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing gamer is aligned on the active line and stopped.

  When Chan Lip 2 is elected and left is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the elected re-playing game is aligned on the active line and stopped. When Chan Lip 2 is elected and is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 7 (Chance Lip) of the elected re-game players is aligned on the active line and stopped. When Chan Lip 3 is elected and is stopped for the first time on the right, control is performed so that Lip 1 (Maintenance Lip) of the elected re-gamer is aligned and stopped on the active line.

  In the case where the Chan Lip 3 is won and the first left stop is made, control is performed so that the Lip 1 (Maintenance Lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned and stopped on the active line. When Chan Lip 3 is elected and is stopped for the first time, control is performed so that Lip 1 (maintenance lip) of the selected re-playing game is aligned on the active line and stopped. When Chan Lip 3 is elected and left first stopped, control is performed so that Lip 7 (chance lip) of the elected re-playing game is aligned on the active line and stopped.

  If the 7th lip is won, it will be in a tempered state where two “white 7” s are aligned on the active line when the second stop is performed, and then “white” is displayed on the active line according to the timing of the third stop. The control is performed to derive the 7-th turn where three “7” s stop together.

  If the 7-off lip is won, it will be in a tempered state where two “white 7” s are aligned on the effective line when the second stop is performed, and then “white” on the effective line regardless of the timing of the third stop. Control for deriving 7 out-of-alignment where 7 ”stops without aligning 3” is performed.

  As described above, the specific push order is associated with each of the passage + ascending lip 1 to 4, the passage + turning lip 1 to 3, the passage + bump lip 1 to 3, and the passage lip 1 to 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, different types of re-game players (maintenance lip, fall lip, promotion lip, rush-in lip) are won according to the push order, and the RT state changes. Therefore, through + ascending lip 1-4, through + rolling lip 1-3, through + thrust lip 1-3, and chan-up 1-3 can change the RT state depending on the pushing order, and can greatly vary the advantage. It can be said that it is a useful role.

  On the other hand, the normal lips 1 to 3, 7-equipped lip, and 7-off lip are awarded in a predetermined combination regardless of the pressing order. That is, it can be said that the normal lip 1 to 3, the 7-equipped lip, and the 7-off lip are roles having the same advantage regardless of the pressing order.

  Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the first winning combination at the time of non-CB includes pass + ascending lip 1 to 4, pass + turning lip 1 to 3, pass + tipping lip 1 to 3, and chan lip 1 to 3. included. Further, the second winning combination at the time of non-CB includes the regular lip 1 to 3, the 7-equipped lip, and the 7-off lip.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 performs an internal lottery for the lottery target combination corresponding to the gaming state, performs reel control according to the lottery result and the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and according to the display result. Medal payout and game state transition. Further, the main control unit 41 transmits a command to the effect control board 90 according to the progress of the game.

[Game flow]
Here, referring to FIG. 8 again, the flow of the game will be described together. In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, after the setting change state is completed, the slot machine 1 is controlled to RT0. Since it becomes non-AT by being controlled to the setting change state, at RT0, it is not controlled by AT and the navigation effect is not executed. As described above, since the navigation effect is not executed at RT0, it is highly probable that when any of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 is won at RT0. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the JAC and the AT combination are missed, the missed line is stopped on the active line, and the missed line is not stopped and is not shifted to RT1 indefinitely. In RT1 to RT3, the game flow is as described below depending on whether or not AT is in progress.

  First, the flow of a game during non-AT will be described. As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is designed to stop at the first left when it is not in AT at RT0 to RT3. For this reason, the player performs a stop operation so as to stop at the first left during the non-AT. As a result, the game flow is as follows.

  In RT1, the game proceeds to RT2 by winning the promotion lip. In order to win the promotion lip, as shown in FIG. 10, it is necessary to stop the operation procedure for winning one of the pass + promotion lip 1 to 4 and making the promotion lip winning.

  However, even if winning one of pass + promotion lip 1-4, as long as the first left stop, it will not win the promotion lip. Therefore, there is no possibility of shifting to RT2 as long as the first left stop is performed.

  Further, even if a penalty is imposed at RT1, even when the first left stop is made and a promotion lip is awarded to be controlled by RT2, it is set so that it is difficult to maintain control of RT2. In other words, in RT2, there is a possibility of winning through pass + roll lips 2, 3, and at this time, if the first left stop, the fall lip wins and falls to RT1. Furthermore, when either of the middle bells 1 to 3 or the right bells 1 to 3 is elected at RT2, if the first stop on the left is reached, a missed lead is derived depending on the timing of the second stop and the third stop and falls to RT1. Resulting in. For this reason, most of the games during non-AT are digested at RT1.

  Next, the flow of the game during the AT will be described. In RT1, a navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a promotion lip can be executed when any one of pass + promotion lip 1-4 is won. For this reason, by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, it is possible to shift to RT2 by promotion lip winning.

  In RT2, a navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a maintenance lip can be executed when any one of pass + turn lip 1-3 is won. For this reason, RT2 can be maintained by the maintenance lip winning by performing the stop operation according to the navigation effect.

  Furthermore, in RT2, a navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a rushing lip can be executed when one of winning through rushing lip 1-3 is won. For this reason, by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, it is possible to shift to RT3 by the rush lip winning.

  In RT3, when one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 is won, a navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a JAC is executed. . For this reason, by performing the stop operation according to the navigation effect, it is possible to maintain the RT3 by avoiding the derivation of the missed outcome due to the JAC winning a prize. Here, in the present embodiment, if JAC is missed when winning one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3, AT1 to 18 according to the pressing order. The medal will be paid out only by winning a prize. Moreover, even if the AT1-18 are fortunately won, only one medal is paid out, which is much smaller than the 14 JAC medals. Therefore, when controlled by AT, the number of medals paid out by the player can be increased compared to when not controlled, and the degree of advantage can be greatly varied depending on the presence or absence of AT control. In RT3, a navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a chance lip is executed when one of the channels 1 to 3 is won.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the AT is in progress, the navigation effect is executed so that the RT3 is controlled and maintained by the RT3. Most of the games will be digested at RT3. In the present embodiment, a state in which the AT is controlled in RT3 that is advantageous to the player is particularly referred to as assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as ART).

  Further, in the present embodiment, by winning a CB in any RT state, the game shifts to a CB game while maintaining the RT state.

[Corporate lottery target, number of judgment values, reel control]
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the lottery target combination and the number of determination values of the lottery target combination read in the internal lottery at the time of CB will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0 to RT3, the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are different. In FIG. 11, the vertical column shows the types of lottery target roles that can be read out by internal lottery, and the horizontal column shows the contents of the gaming state to be drawn for each lottery target role.

  The CB (challenge bonus) of the present embodiment is that all the small roles are won at the same time. In this embodiment, 15 or more medals are paid out, that is, more than 14 medals are awarded. Until the (payout) is established, the player can win the small role every game by the player. In addition, for the re-playing game combination, a combination to be won simultaneously with all of the small roles is determined in advance according to the gaming state in which the CB is generated. In the CB, all the small roles other than re-playing roles (hereinafter, simply referred to as “all small roles”) will be elected. The re-gamer who has won will be elected at the same time.

  For example, when the gaming state is RT0, all the small combinations, all the small combinations and the normal lip 1 are sequentially read out as target combinations for the internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT1, all small combinations, all small combinations and normal lip 1, and all small combinations and continuous + ascending lip 1 to 4 are sequentially read out as target combinations for internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT2, all small roles, all small roles and normal lip 1, all small roles and pass + turn lip 1-3, and all small roles and pass + crash lip 1-3 are inside It is sequentially read out as the target combination of the lottery.

  When the game state is RT3, all small roles, all small roles and normal lip 2, all small roles and normal lip 3, all small roles and normal + lip + 1-3, all small roles and chan 1-3, all small combinations and 7-set lip, and all small combinations and 7-off lip are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  Next, reel control during CB will be described. If the re-playing role is not won in the game at the time of the CB, all the small roles other than the re-playing role are won. In this case, the reel control is performed so that 15 medals are paid out in any of the first left stop, the first middle stop, and the first right stop.

  In the game at the time of CB, any one of normal lip 1, pass + ascending lip 1 to 4, pass + roll lip 1 to 3, pass + bump lip 1 to 3, chan lip 1 to 3, 7 aligned lip, and 7 off lip When all the small combinations are won simultaneously, reel control is performed so that 15 medals are paid out in any of the first left stop, the first middle stop, and the first right stop.

  When the normal lip 2 and all the small roles are won at the same time in the CB game, the reel control is performed so that 15 medals are paid out in the first left stop or the first right stop. If it is the first stop, reel control is performed so that 14 medals are paid out.

  When the normal lip 3 and all the small roles are won at the same time in the CB game, reel control is performed so that 15 medals are paid out at the first left stop or middle first stop. If it is the first stop, reel control is performed so that 14 medals are paid out.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, only when the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won, reel control is performed so that 14 medals are paid out depending on the pushing order.

  Further, for the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3, a specific pressing order is associated. In the example of FIG. 11, the specific pushing order of the normal lip 2 is the middle first stop, and the specific pushing order of the normal lip 3 is the first right stop. When the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 and all the small roles are simultaneously selected and operated in the specific pushing order, 14 medals are paid out in the CB1 game and the CB is continued. You can earn more medals in the game. On the other hand, when the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 and all the small roles are simultaneously selected and operated in a pressing order other than the specific pressing order, 15 medals are paid out from the CB1 game, and the CB Ends. Therefore, in the case of the simultaneous winning combination of the normal Lip 2 and all the small roles, or the simultaneous winning combination of the normal Lip 3 and all the small roles, whether the CB ends one game or two games depending on the pressing order. It can be said that this is a role that can greatly vary the number of medals to be paid out.

  On the other hand, with regard to the re-playing role other than normal Lip 2 and normal Lip 3 and all the small roles at the same time, or the winning combination of all the small roles only (that is, no re-playing role winning) Fifteen medals are paid out from the CB1 game, and CB ends. Therefore, it can be said that the winning combination of the replaying combination other than the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 and all the small combinations, and the winning combination of only all the small combinations are the combination having the same advantage regardless of the pressing order. .

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the first winning combination at the time of CB includes the simultaneous winning combination of the normal lip 2 and all the small combinations, or the simultaneous winning combination of the normal lip 3 and all the small combinations. On the other hand, the second winning combination at the time of CB includes a simultaneous winning combination of a re-playing combination other than normal lip 2 and normal lip 3 and all small combinations, and a winning combination of all small combinations only.

  As described above, as shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of first winning combinations, and either 14 payouts or 15 based on the types of the first winning combinations and the pressing order by the player. The payout result of the payout is derived. For this reason, since the winning result of whether to pay 14 or 15 is different depending on the combination of the type of the first winning combination won and the pushing order by the player, the interest of the game can be further improved.

[Winning mode during CB]
Here, the winning mode during CB will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a winning mode during CB. FIG. 12A shows a winning mode for a small combination for each pressing order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated when the normal lip 2 is won at the time of CB.

  In this embodiment, depending on the type of re-playing winning combination at the time of CB and the pressing order, strawberries among the small winning combinations are won on one or two active lines.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the normal lip 2 is won at the time of the CB and the first left stop is made, the strawberry wins simultaneously on the two lines, the right-up line and the Otani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. Here, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of medals paid out in one game is fifteen. And 14 strawberries will be paid out in 1 line winning strawberry. Therefore, if strawberry wins simultaneously in two lines, a total of 28 payouts will be made, and as a result, the maximum payout number of 15 medals will be paid out.

  When the normal lip 2 is won at the time of CB and the first stop is made, the strawberry wins only at the middle line. In this case, 14 medals are paid out.

  In the case of winning a normal lip 2 at the time of CB, when the first stop is made to the right, strawberries are simultaneously won on two lines, the line going up to the right and the Kotani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (b), when the normal lip 3 is won at the time of CB and the first left is stopped, the strawberry wins simultaneously on the two lines, the right-up line and the Otani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  In the case where the normal lip 3 is won at the time of CB and the first stop is made, strawberry wins at the same time on the right-up line and the Otani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  If the first lip is stopped in the case where the normal lip 3 is won at the time of CB, the strawberry wins at only one line of the middle stage. In this case, 14 medals are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the first left stop is made in the case of winning other than the normal rips 2 and 3 at the time of CB, strawberry wins at the same time on the two lines of the right-up line and the Otani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  In the case of winning other than the normal rips 2 and 3 at the time of CB, when the first stop is made, strawberry wins simultaneously on the two lines of the right-up line and the Otari line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  In the case of winning other than the normal rips 2 and 3 at the time of the CB, when the first right stop is made, the strawberry wins simultaneously on the two lines of the right-up line and the Kotani line. Depending on the order of pressing, strawberry wins at the same time on two lines, the descending line and the Oyama line. In this case, the maximum payout number of 15 medals is paid out.

  Here, since the CB of the present embodiment ends when 15 medals are paid out, when 15 medals are paid out from the first game of the CB, the CB ends in one game. On the other hand, when 14 medals are paid out in the first game of CB, since the 15 finish conditions have not yet been reached, the second game can be played. As a result, the player can win 15 or more medals by paying out 15 or 15 medals. In other words, at the time of CB, it can be said that it is more advantageous for the player when 14 payouts are made from the first game than when 15 payouts are made from the first game.

  In addition, the lottery target combination and the number of determination values of the lottery target combination read in the internal lottery at the time of CB shown in FIG. 11 are the same as those in FIG. It is the same as the number of determination values of the lottery target combination and lottery target combination read in the internal lottery at the time of non-CB shown by In other words, the lottery target combination and the number of determination values of the re-game combination are not changed before and after the CB winning. Therefore, if the RT state before winning the CB is advantageous to the player, the game during the CB is performed while maintaining the advantageous state for the player even after winning the CB. For example, if RT3 is before CB winning, even after CB winning, a game in CB is performed while maintaining the same lottery target role and the number of determination values of the re-playing role as RT3.

  Further, according to the lottery target combination and the number of determination values of the lottery target combination at the time of CB shown in FIG. 11, the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 2 which are the lottery target roles in which reel control is performed so that 14 medals are paid out in one game. Lip 3 is won only at RT3. Therefore, in the case where the CB is won at RT3 in all the gaming states, two or more games can be played in the CB, which is most advantageous for the player.

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, when a CB win is made during an AT, when a normal lip 2 or a normal lip 3 is won in the game at the time of CB, a winning symbol of 14 sheets is displayed on the active line. A navigation effect for derivation is executed. Therefore, at AT time, compared to non-AT time, there is a high possibility that 14 medals will be paid out in one game, which is advantageous to the player.

  In addition, according to the lottery target combination and the number of determination values at the time of non-CB shown in FIG. 9, the number of determination values is 1 for strawberry in any gaming state. Therefore, at the time of non-CB, it becomes possible to generate a winning with a probability that other winning combinations are higher than strawberry. That is, at the time of non-CB, it is not the main role that strawberry can win. On the other hand, according to the winning mode at the time of CB shown in FIG. 12, strawberry wins both when paying out 14 pieces and when paying out 15 pieces. That is, at the time of CB, it becomes the main role that strawberry can win.

  Furthermore, an AT lottery described later is performed on the condition that the strawberry is led to the active line (fourth AT lottery condition), and there is a possibility that navigation stock is given to control the AT.

  Thus, at the time of non-CB, other winning combinations can be won with a higher probability than strawberry, and at CB, strawberries can be won with a higher probability than the other winning combinations. Then, an AT lottery is performed on the condition that a strawberry is won, and a navigation stock is given. For this reason, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the navigation stock is directly given by winning the strawberry, and the value for the player by being controlled by the CB by increasing the winning probability of the strawberry. Can be further enhanced, and the fun of the game can be improved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the first left stop is made based on the received reel stop command in a non-AT game, and performs a control for giving a predetermined penalty according to the determination result. . As described above, as described above, during the period of 6 games, the AT lottery is not executed, or the probability that the navigation stock is given in the AT lottery is lower than when no penalty is imposed. In some cases, the number of navigation stocks when granted is less than when no penalty is imposed.

  Note that there may be a case where the first left stop cannot be made due to a simple operation error, and in such a case, a penalty is also imposed on a bona fide player. In order to solve this, when a predetermined penalty condition that can be inferred that the player is intentionally operating other than the left first stop is high, a penalty is imposed. Good.

  The predetermined penalty condition may be satisfied when the number of operations other than the first left stop reaches a predetermined number (5 times) until the predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) is consumed. Well, in a non-AT game, based on the received internal winning command, winning determination command, and gaming state command, it is determined that the winning combination that does not win is won as long as the first left stop according to the gaming state Or when the number of times determined in this way reaches a predetermined number (5 times) before the predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) is consumed. Note that the winning combination that does not win as long as the first left stop according to the gaming state corresponds to, for example, JAC when winning any of the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the game was executed with the navigation effect during the AT, according to a procedure different from the operation procedure specified from the navigation effect, and was determined to be operated according to a different procedure. At times, control is performed to penalize a penalty during AT that is disadvantageous to the player. As a penalty during AT, the AT lottery will not be executed during the period of 6 games, or the probability that Navistock will be awarded in the AT lottery will be lower than when no penalty is imposed, There are things that make the number of navigation stocks when they are given less than when no penalty is imposed. In addition, for example, a predetermined number of subtracted navigation stocks may be subtracted, and AT lottery may not be performed even if AT lottery conditions are satisfied.

  Even during an AT, there may be a case where the operation procedure specified by the navigation effect cannot be performed due to a simple operation error. In such a case, a good-willed player will be penalized. In order to solve this, a penalty is imposed when the penalty condition in the AT that can be inferred that the player is intentionally operating in a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the navigation effect is high. Control may be performed.

  The penalty condition during the AT is established when, for example, the number of operations performed in a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the navigation effect reaches the predetermined number (5 times) before the predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) is consumed. It may also be established by being operated by a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the navigation effect continuously a predetermined number of times (twice).

  In addition, during an AT, when an operation is performed according to a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the navigation effect, if the missed out lead is derived or a falling lip is awarded, the RT1 is controlled. In this way, when the control is made to RT1 due to an operation error while being in the AT, the AT may be terminated (erasure of the navigation stock) at that time as a sanctions measure. As a remedy, the navigation effect may be executed so that the AT is continued and the RT 3 is controlled again.

[AT-related processing]
Next, processing related to AT among processing performed on the sub-control unit 91 side will be described. The sub-control unit 91 controls the effect state to AT according to the gaming state, and performs AT-related processing for executing the navigation effect.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT by executing AT-related processing. The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a predetermined AT lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and AT lottery is executed when the predetermined AT lottery condition is satisfied. The AT lottery includes a navigation grant lottery that determines whether or not the number of navigation stocks is given, and a navigation stock lottery that decides the number of navigation stocks to be given.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates a period during which the AT can be controlled. By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks, the game is controlled by the AT until the game is consumed for a predetermined period (for example, 10 games after being controlled by the AT), during which the navigation effect can be executed. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an AT lottery table used for AT lottery. The AT lottery condition is established by a combination of the RT state, the AT state, and other conditions such as a winning situation and a game progress situation. The sub-control unit 91 wins the AT according to the winning probability set in the established AT lottery conditions, and when the AT is won, the navigation control is given according to the distribution ratio.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines the controlled RT state and winning status based on, for example, a game state command, an internal winning command, and a winning determination command from the main control unit 41, and sets the AT set during the AT. Based on the flag, it is determined whether or not AT is in progress.

  The first AT lottery condition is satisfied when a chance 1 or a chance 2 is won when the RT state is RT0 to 3 regardless of whether or not the AT is in progress. When the first AT lottery condition is satisfied, the player wins the AT with a probability of 30%. When the AT is won, the number of navigation stocks given is “1” with a probability of 50% and “2” with a probability of 30%. Furthermore, it is determined as “3” with a probability of 20%. The AT lottery is randomly performed according to a set probability or distribution rate using, for example, random numbers. Therefore, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired when the first AT lottery condition is satisfied is (1 × 0.5 + 2 × 0.3 + 3 × 0.2) × 0.03 = 0.051.

  The second AT lottery condition is satisfied when the 7-round lip is won when the RT state is RT3, regardless of whether or not AT is in progress. When the 2nd AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT is won with a probability of 10%, and when the AT is won, the number of navigation stocks given is “1” with a probability of 30% and “2” with a probability of 30%. Furthermore, it is determined as “3” with a probability of 20%, “4” with a probability of 10%, and “5” with a probability of 10%. Therefore, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired when the second AT lottery condition is satisfied is (1 × 0.3 + 2 × 0.3 + 3 × 0.2 + 4 × 0.1 + 5 × 0.1) × 0. 1 = 0.24.

  The third AT lottery condition is satisfied when a chance lip is won when the RT state is RT3, regardless of whether or not the AT is in progress. When the third AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT is won with a probability of 3%, and when the AT is won, the number of navigation stocks given is “1” with a probability of 20% and “2” with a probability of 20%. In addition, “3” is determined with a probability of 30%, “4” with a probability of 20%, and “5” with a probability of 10%. Therefore, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired when the third AT lottery condition is satisfied is (1 × 0.2 + 2 × 0.2 + 3 × 0.3 + 4 × 0.2 + 5 × 0.1) × 0. 3 = 0.84.

  In addition, the first to third AT lottery conditions have been described with respect to the example where the winning probability and the allocation ratio are the same regardless of whether the AT is in the AT or non-AT. The winning probability and the distribution rate may be varied depending on whether or not it is in the middle. For example, the navigation grant lottery is performed with a higher winning probability when the player is in the AT than when the player is not in the AT, and the expected number of Navi stocks when the player is in the AT is not in the non-AT state. Navi stock number lottery may be performed so that becomes larger.

  Note that the first and second AT lottery conditions have been described as examples that are established by winning a predetermined winning combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be established by winning a predetermined winning combination. . For example, the first AT lottery condition may be satisfied by winning in chance 1 or chance 2.

  The 4th AT lottery condition is that the strawberry wins when the RT state is RT0-3 regardless of whether it is AT or non-AT, whether it is non-CB or CB It is established when When the 4th AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT is won with a probability of 50%. When the AT is won, the number of navigation stocks given is “1” with a probability of 40% and “2” with a probability of 30%. Furthermore, it becomes “3” with a probability of 20% and becomes “4” with a probability of 10%. Therefore, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired when the third AT lottery condition is satisfied is (1 × 0.4 + 2 × 0.3 + 3 × 0.2 + 4 × 0.1) × 0.5 = 1. 0. In CB, the AT lottery condition may be satisfied when a strawberry wins only one effective line and 14 payouts are made. As a result, when 15 payouts are made during CB (when strawberry wins at the same time on 2 active lines), the AT lottery condition is not satisfied, while 14 payouts are made during CB. When the strawberry is won (when the strawberry wins with only one effective line), the AT lottery condition can be established.

  The fifth AT lottery condition is satisfied when 1000 games have been consumed since the end of the previous ART when the gaming state is RT1 to 3 during non-AT. When the fifth AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT winning is performed with a probability of 100%, and the number of navigation stocks to be given is determined as “1” with a probability of 60% and “2” with a probability of 40%. Therefore, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired when the fifth AT lottery condition is satisfied is (1 × 0.6 + 2 × 0.4) × 1.0 = 1.4.

  The sub-control unit 91 specifies the end of ART based on the AT flag set during the AT, and ends to specify the number of games consumed from the end of ART based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41. The number of post-games is counted, and whether or not the fifth AT lottery condition is satisfied is determined based on the post-end game number, specifying whether 1000 games have been consumed since the end of the previous ART.

  In this way, whether or not to provide navigation stock for AT control is determined by the sub-control unit 91 based on a command from the main control unit 41, and navigation stock is provided in accordance with the determination. It is possible to focus attention on the processing of the sub-control unit 91.

[AT control processing]
When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the AT lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether to control to AT based on the presence / absence of the number of navigation stocks in the RAM 91c. When the number of navigation stocks remains, and when the number of navigation stocks is further acquired by AT lottery, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks. In the present embodiment, the AT is controlled according to the total number of navigation stocks determined in the AT lottery.

  When the navigation stock is acquired during the non-AT, the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT when a predetermined AT start condition is satisfied. The predetermined AT start condition is satisfied when a specific winning situation is reached. As an example of when a specific winning situation is reached, for example, it is established when a rush lip is won during non-AT and RT2.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating that it is AT in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c and stores it in the AT when the AT start condition is satisfied when the non-AT and one or more navigation stocks are given. Control.

  Note that the AT start conditions are not limited to those established according to the winning situation, but after performing predetermined continuous effects over a plurality of games triggered by the acquisition of navigation stock, It may be established when it is notified that it has been acquired. In this case, the continuous performance is executed according to a predetermined probability even when the navigation stock is not acquired. Thereby, the player can have a sense of expectation that the navigation stock has been acquired by executing the continuous performance.

  The sub-control unit 91 starts the control to the AT when the AT flag is identified from the AT flag in RT1 or RT2. Thereby, the navigation effect is executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, in RT1, there is a high possibility that a promotion lip winning will be obtained when winning one of the pass + promotion lip 1 to 4, and as a result, control to RT2 is facilitated. Further, in RT2, the possibility of winning a maintenance lip when winning any of the pass + turn lip 1-3 is increased, and it is possible to avoid winning a fall lip. In addition, when winning one of pass + rush lip 1-3, the possibility of winning the rush lip increases, and as a result, the possibility of shifting to RT3 increases.

  Moreover, in RT2 or RT3, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, it is possible to avoid losing the lead and to fall to RT1. Can be avoided.

  In RT1 or RT2, the navigation effects can be executed under the control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks. The control to the AT continues even when the RT1 is controlled to the RT2 by the promotion lip winning in the RT1 during the AT.

  When controlled by RT3, the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by 1 and can be controlled to RT3 and ART which is AT while the game is consumed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10). When one navigation stock is consumed, it is updated to a value obtained by subtracting one from the number of navigation stocks stored in the RAM 91c.

  When controlled to ART, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the number of AT games that are determined to be controlled by the AT, and updates the number of AT games according to the game digestion. Specifically, for example, when controlled by AT, a message such as “AT remaining 10 games” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and an advantageous effect of updating and displaying the number of remaining games as the game is consumed is executed. Thereby, it is notified that the AT is controlled corresponding to at least the navigation stock 1.

  When the number of remaining AT games reaches 0 and the remaining number of navigation stock is 0, the sub-control unit 91 displays a message such as “AT finished!” On the liquid crystal display 51 and indicates that it is not AT. The AT flag is updated to end the series of ATs. As a result, the navigation effect is not executed. Therefore, when one of the left bell 1 to 3, the middle bell 1 to 3, and the right bell 1 to 3 is won, it is easy to derive a missed outcome, and When one of the lips 1 to 3 is won, there is a high possibility that a falling lip prize will be won, and as a result, the possibility of being controlled from RT3 to RT1 is increased.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in addition to the state controlled by AT and the state not controlled by AT (non-AT), it is also controlled by AT during latency. The latent AT is a period in which the navigation effect is executed only when the first winning combination is won although the navigation stock is not consumed. Furthermore, since the advantageous effects described above are not executed in the AT during the latent period, it is impossible to recognize in the effect that the player is in the AT and is controlled by the AT again. Can be expected. Note that a period that is a latent AT is also referred to as a latent period.

  The sub-control unit 91 updates the AT flag indicating that it is not AT once when the AT remaining game count becomes zero. If the remaining number of navigation stocks is 1 or more, the latent lottery is first executed. The latent lottery is, for example, a lottery that determines whether or not to control the AT at the time of latency by random number lottery. When the sub lot 91 wins the latent lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores a latent flag indicating that it is a latent AT at a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Thereby, it is controlled to AT at the time of incubation. The latent AT is controlled until a predetermined period (for example, 32 games) elapses. When the latent AT is completed, the sub-control unit 91 performs an AT return notification, updates the AT flag indicating that the navigation stock is consumed by one, and controls the AT. The AT return notification is a notification performed when returning from the AT to the AT at the time of incubation, and for example, a message such as “still more!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  In the present embodiment, when the navigation effect is executed even once in the latent AT, AT return notification is performed at that time. The reason for this is that the latent AT is a state in which the player is not able to determine whether or not the navigation stock remains due to the fact that the advantageous performance is not executed, and is expected to be controlled by the AT again. This is because, though the navigation effect is executed, it is determined that the player still has navigation stock. Even in this case, after the AT return notification, it is controlled to AT at the time of incubation until a predetermined period of time elapses, and after that, the navigation stock is consumed by 1 and updated to an AT flag indicating that it is AT, and then controlled again by the AT. . As an AT return notification in this case, a message such as “I will return to AT soon!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that the game will return to AT when the predetermined number of games have been consumed. When the navigation effect is executed even once in the latent AT, the AT return notification may be performed, and at the time, the navigation stock may be consumed and controlled to the AT.

  On the other hand, when the sub lot 91 does not win the latent lottery, the AT return notification is performed immediately after the end of the previous AT, and the navigation stock is consumed by 1 and the control to the AT is continued.

  In this way, by controlling at the time of latent AT, even if the AT ends and is controlled to a non-AT, the player can have a sense of expectation that it may be controlled by the AT again. Can improve the interest in games.

  As described above, in the case of RT3, the number of navigation stocks is consumed, so that the game is controlled to ART while the game is consumed a predetermined number of times. Even if the game corresponding to one Navistock is completed after the game has been digested a predetermined number of times in ART, if the number of Navistock is still 1 or more, after the incubation period with a predetermined probability, the Navistock 1 is consumed and control to ART is continued. As a result, the AT can be repeatedly controlled by the number corresponding to the number of navigation stocks set according to the AT lottery result.

  When being controlled by the AT, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect corresponding to a case where a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is won based on a command from the main control unit 41.

[Navi production during non-CB]
Next, a navigation effect executed by the sub control unit 91 during non-CB will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for executing the non-CB navigation effect execution process when the first winning combination is won. The sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation effect based on the predetermined probability according to the AT state when the first winning combination is won by executing the non-CB navigation effect execution process.

  First, the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state during non-CB will be described with reference to FIGS. As the navigation target combination corresponding to RT1, left bells 1 to 3, middle bells 1 to 3, right bells 1 to 3, and pass + ascending lip 1 to 4 are determined.

  Further, as the navigation target combination corresponding to RT2, left bell 1 to 3, middle bell 1 to 3, right bell 1 to 3, passage + rolling lip 1 to 3, and passage + protrusion lip 1 to 3 are determined. Yes.

  Further, left bells 1 to 3, middle bells 1 to 3, right bells 1 to 3, pass + rolls 1 to 3 and channels 1 to 3 are determined as navigation target combinations corresponding to RT3.

  In the present embodiment, the navigation target combination at the time of non-CB described above corresponds to the first winning combination.

  As shown in FIG. 14, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won is received from the main control unit 41 (S10). If the sub-control unit 91 determines that it has not received the internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won (NO in S10), the sub-control unit 91 has won the second winning combination, so The effect execution process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won (YES in S10), the sub-control unit 91 checks the current AT state (S20). At this time, the sub-control unit 91 identifies non-AT if the AT flag is not stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and identifies AT if the AT flag is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c. If a latent flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, it is specified that it is a latent AT. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect execution lottery based on the non-CB navigation effect execution table of FIG. 15 according to the specified AT state (step S30).

  Here, the non-CB navigation effect execution table in FIG. 15 will be described. Note that the non-CB navigation effect execution execution table is stored in the ROM 91b.

  In the non-CB navigation effect execution table, the execution probability of the navigation effect is set corresponding to the AT state. The sub-control unit 91 determines by lottery whether or not to execute the navigation effect according to the AT state by referring to the non-CB navigation effect execution table.

  For example, if it is non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed even if the first winning combination is won.

  In the case of AT, if the first winning combination is won, the navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100%.

  Furthermore, if the AT is in the latent state, the navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100% if the first winning combination is won.

  As described above, when the result of the internal lottery in the specific game is the result of winning the first winning combination whose advantage differs depending on the pressing order, even if it is controlled by the AT, the latent AT Even if controlled, navigation effects are executed with the same probability. Therefore, regardless of whether the player is controlled by the AT or once controlled by the AT during the latent period, the player wins the winning combination when the correct answer is given in the pressing order corresponding to the first winning combination with the same probability. Can be awarded. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a difference in the degree of advantage between when the AT is controlled and when the AT is controlled once during the latent period, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  As an aspect of the navigation effect, for example, when one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3 and the right bells 1 to 3 is won, the JAC is surely won according to the winning situation, and then left out. The push order for avoiding the derivation of the eyes is notified. More specifically, as a navigation effect when winning the left bells 1 to 3, a message such as “It's left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in order to win a JAC. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning one of pass + ascending lip 1 to 4, pass + turn lip 1 to 3, pass + bump lip 1 to 3, and chan lip 1 to 3, game according to the winning situation The pressing order that is advantageous to the user is notified. More specifically, the message “Now! Next is right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in order to win the promotion lip as a navigation effect when winning the pass + promotion lip 1. .

  The mode of the navigation effect is not limited to the mode described above, and any mode may be used as long as the player can be distinguished according to the winning situation. The navigation effect is not limited to the one displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Returning to FIG. 14, after performing the navigation effect execution lottery, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the navigation effect is executed as a result of the lottery (S <b> 40). When it is determined that the navigation effect is not to be executed (NO in S40), the sub control unit 91 ends the non-CB navigation effect execution process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the navigation effect is to be executed (YES in S40), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether it is a latent AT and whether the AT return notification has not been performed (S50). When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the AT is in the latent state and the AT return notification has not been performed (YES in S50), the navigation effect is first executed in the AT in the latent state. It is executed (S60). Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect (S70), and ends the non-CB navigation effect execution process.

  In this embodiment, the navigation effect is executed after the AT return notification. However, the AT return notification may be executed after the navigation effect is executed. The AT return notification may be executed simultaneously.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that the AT is a latent AT and the AT return notification is not performed (NO in S50), the sub-control unit 91 is not a latent AT or has already issued an AT return notification in the latent AT. Since it has been executed, the navigation effect is executed without notifying the AT return (S70), and the non-CB navigation effect execution process is terminated.

[Navigation production during CB]
Next, the navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 during CB will be described. FIG. 16 shows the navigation effect execution process during CB when winning the first winning combination (the normal winning combination of the normal Lip 2 and all the small roles, or the simultaneous winning combination of the normal Lip 3 and all the small roles). It is a flowchart for performing. When the first winning combination is won by executing the CB navigation effect execution process, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect based on a predetermined probability according to the AT state and the number of CB games.

  As shown in FIG. 16, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won is received from the main control unit 41 (S110). When it is determined that the internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won has not been received (NO in S110), the sub-control unit 91 determines that the second winning combination (except for normal lip 2 and normal lip 3) Since the winning combination of the game combination and all the small combinations and the winning combination of only all the small combinations) has been won, the navigation effect execution process during CB is ended. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 randomly determines the push order of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R based on a predetermined lottery probability, and executes a navigation effect that informs the push order of first stopping the determined reels. . As a result, 15 medals are paid out from the CB1 game, and the CB ends in one game. Note that the second winning combination is a combination in which only 15 payouts are made regardless of the pushing order. In this way, by executing the navigation effect in the same manner as when the first winning combination is won, It is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine whether the first winning combination has been won or the second winning combination has been won.

  On the other hand, when determining that it has received an internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won (YES in S110), the sub-control unit 91 checks the current AT state (S120). At this time, the sub-control unit 91 identifies non-AT if the AT flag is not stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and identifies AT if the AT flag is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c. If a latent flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, it is specified that it is a latent AT. Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 performs a navigation effect execution lottery based on the CB navigation effect execution table of FIG. 17 according to the specified AT state (step S130).

  Here, the CB navigation effect execution table in FIG. 17 will be described. The CB navigation effect execution execution table is stored in the ROM 91b.

  In the CB navigation effect execution table, the execution probability of the navigation effect is set corresponding to the AT state and the number of CB games. The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not to execute the navigation effect by lottery according to the AT state and the number of CB games by referring to the CB navigation effect execution table.

  For example, if it is a non-AT, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards and the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards are not executed in both the first game and the second game of the CB. Here, the navigation effect for paying out 14 sheets is an effect of notifying the pushing order for winning a strawberry on only one effective line, as shown in FIG. For example, when normal lip 2 is won, a message such as “medium!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When normal lip 3 is selected, a message “right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display. Displayed on the device 51. Further, the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is an effect of notifying the pushing order for simultaneously winning strawberry in two effective lines as shown in FIG. For example, when the normal lip 2 is won, a message such as “It's left!” Or “It's right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. When the normal lip 3 is won, it is “left! Or “Medium!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a penalty is imposed if the first left stop is not performed during non-AT. Therefore, if the navigation effect is not executed in the first game of the CB, the player usually makes the first left stop. Therefore, at the time of winning the first winning combination in which 14 payouts are not made in the first left stop, CB is completed in one game without paying out 14 cards. However, if 14 are paid out accidentally when a penalty is imposed and the middle first stop or right first stop is performed, the CB2 game can be played. Therefore, even if it is non-AT during CB, a situation in which the CB2 game can be played can occur.

  In addition, if the player is in the AT, when the 1st winning combination is won, in the case of the CB1 game, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and when the 1st winning combination is won, the CB2 In the case of a game, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%.

  Also, if the AT is a latent time AT, when the first winning combination is won, in the case of the CB1 game, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and the time when the first winning combination is won. In the case of the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%.

  As described above, when the first winning combination is won in the first CB game, the medals awarded during the CB are more than in the second winning combination other than the first winning combination in the first game in the CB. In order to increase the number of payouts, strawberry wins with only one effective line. That is, in the CB1 game, the strawberry wins with only one effective line and 14 medals are paid out, so that the CB2 game can also be played, and as a result, the number of medals in the CB increases. . Therefore, when the CB is executed at RT3 where the first winning combination that is not won at RT0-2 is won, the number of medals to be awarded during the CB is larger than when the CB is executed at RT0-2. . Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the RT state when the CB is performed and the winning result during the CB, and the interest can be improved.

  In the CB navigation effect execution table shown in FIG. 17, the probability that a 14-payout navigation effect will be executed when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game at the latent AT, When the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, the probability that the 14-paid-out navigation effect is executed is 100% and the same probability. Further, when the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game at the AT at the time of incubation, the probability that a 15-paid-out navigation effect will be executed, and when the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game during the AT, 15 The probability that the navigation effect for paying out the sheets is executed is 100%, which is the same probability. In other words, regardless of whether the player is an AT or a latent AT, when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, a total of 29 medals are paid out.

  As described above, when the result of the internal lottery in the first game of CB is the result of winning the first winning combination whose advantage differs depending on the pressing order, even if it is controlled by the AT, Even when controlled by the AT, the navigation effect is executed with the same probability. Therefore, regardless of whether the player is controlled by AT or once controlled by AT when hidden, the player wins the strawberry with only one effective line from the CB1 game with the same probability. be able to. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a difference in the degree of advantage between when the AT is controlled and when the AT is controlled once during the latent period, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Returning to FIG. 16, after performing the navigation effect execution lottery, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the navigation effect is executed as a result of the lottery (S140). When it is determined that the navigation effect is not to be executed (NO in S140), the sub control unit 91 ends the CB navigation effect execution process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the navigation effect is to be executed (YES in S140), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether it is a latent AT and whether an AT return notification has not been performed (S150). When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the AT is in the latent state and the AT return notification is not performed (YES in S150), the navigation effect is executed for the first time in the AT in the latent state. It is executed (S160). Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect (S170), and ends the CB navigation effect execution process.

  In this embodiment, the navigation effect is executed after the AT return notification. However, the AT return notification may be executed after the navigation effect is executed. The AT return notification may be executed simultaneously.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that the AT is a latent AT and the AT return notification is not yet performed (NO in S150), the sub-control unit 91 is not the latent AT or has already issued an AT return notification in the latent AT. Since it is executed, the navigation effect is executed without notifying the AT return (S170), and the CB navigation effect execution process is terminated.

[Example of timing chart regarding payout during CB during AT]
Next, an example of payout during CB during AT will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an example of a timing chart regarding payout during CB during AT. 18A and 18B show the relationship among the control to CB, the winning of the first winning combination or the second winning combination, the execution of the navigation effect, the payout of the medals and the number of payouts. It is shown. As for CB control, it indicates that it is turned on when it is controlled by CB, and it is turned off when it is not controlled by CB. In addition, regarding the winning of the first winning combination or the second winning combination, it indicates that the player wins from OFF to ON when winning the first winning combination or the second winning combination. As for the execution of the navigation effect, it indicates that if the navigation effect is being executed, it will be turned on, and if the navigation effect is not being executed, it will be turned off. Further, regarding the payout of medals, it indicates that when a medal is paid out, it stands up from OFF to ON. Furthermore, the number of medals paid out is shown.

  FIG. 18A shows a timing chart when the second winning combination is won in the CB1 game in any of RT0 to RT3. In the present embodiment, if a CB is performed in a predetermined RT state, the game in the CB is executed without changing the RT state, and then the RT state does not change even after the CB ends. Such a CB is also referred to as a penetrating CB. Then, when winning the second winning combination in the CB1 game, since it is AT, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. When the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the pressing order according to the navigation effect, 15 medals are paid out. As described above, the CB of the present embodiment ends when 15 or more medals have been paid out. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the CB is won in the second winning combination in the CB1 game, the CB Finishing in one game, only 15 medals are paid out.

  FIG. 18B shows a timing chart when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game in RT3. CB is performed at RT3, and when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, since it is AT, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed. When the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the pressing order according to the navigation effect, 14 medals are paid out. In this case, CB does not end in one game because there is one more medal payout until 15 CB payout conditions. Next, when winning the first winning combination or the second winning combination in the CB2 game, since it is AT, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. When the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the order of pushing in accordance with the navigation effect, 15 medals are paid out. As a result, two CB games can be executed, and 29 medals that are more than the CB end condition of 15 medals are paid out in total for each game.

  In this way, when winning the first winning combination during the CB, the number of medals paid out during the CB is larger than when winning the second winning combination other than the first winning combination. The strawberry wins with only one effective line.

  More specifically, when the first winning combination is won during the CB, the strawberry is 1 so that the accumulated amount of the number of medals paid out during the CB1 game does not exceed the 14 CB finishes. After winning a prize with only one effective line, the strawberry wins with only one effective line so that the cumulative amount of medals paid out during the CB2 game exceeds 14 or the strawberry wins Win with 2 active lines.

  Therefore, when the CB is executed at RT3 where the first winning combination that is not won at RT0-2 is won, the accumulated amount of the number of medals to be awarded during the CB is greater than when the CB is executed at RT0-2. Will increase. Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the RT state when the CB is performed and the winning result during the CB, and the interest can be improved.

  RT3 is a gaming state with a higher degree of advantage than T0-2. Therefore, when being controlled by RT3, the degree of advantage is high, and the interest of the player can be improved with respect to being executed by CB.

[Example of the number of medals paid out by AT state during CB]
Next, an example of the medal payout number for each AT state during CB will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining an example of the number of medals paid out by AT state during CB.

  FIG. 19 (a) shows an example of the number of medals to be paid out when the second winning combination is won in the CB1 game at the time of latent AT. As shown in FIG. 19 (a), if the number of navigation stocks remains one or more at the time when the previous AT ends, a latent lottery is performed, and when the latent lottery is won, the latent AT is controlled. . When the second winning combination is won in the CB1 game in the latent AT, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. As a result, 15 medals are paid out. In this case, since 15 or more payouts, which is the CB end condition, have been paid out, the CB ends in one game.

  FIG. 19B shows an example of the number of medals paid out when the AT is continued and the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game. As shown in FIG. 19 (b), if the number of navigation stocks remains 1 or more when the previous AT is completed, a latent lottery is performed. If the latent lottery is not won, the control is set to the latent AT. Instead, it consumes 1 Navistock and continues to the next AT. When the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game during AT, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed. As a result, 14 medals are paid out. In this case, since the payout of 15 or more sheets, which is the CB termination condition, has not yet been made, the CB2 game is played. In the CB2 game, when any winning combination is won, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. In this case, the total number of payouts in the CB is 29, and 15 or more payouts, which are the CB end conditions, have been paid out, so the CB ends in two games.

  FIG. 19C shows an example of the number of medals to be paid out when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game in the latent AT. As shown in FIG. 19 (c), if the number of navigation stocks remains one or more at the time when the previous AT ends, a latent lottery is performed, and when the latent lottery is won, the latent AT is controlled. . When the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game in the latent AT, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed. As a result, 14 medals are paid out. In this case, since the payout of 15 or more sheets, which is the CB termination condition, has not yet been made, the CB2 game is played. In the CB2 game, when any winning combination is won, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. In this case, the total number of payouts in the CB is 29, and 15 or more payouts, which are the CB end conditions, have been paid out, so the CB ends in two games.

  Here, comparing the case where the AT is continued and the case where the AT is controlled at the time of the latent time, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is obtained when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game in any state. When executed, it is possible to play the CB2 game. Therefore, the cumulative number of sheets finally obtained during the CB is the same as the number of payouts during the CB when the AT is continued and when the AT is controlled during the latent period.

  As described above, when the result of the internal lottery in the first game of CB is the result of winning the first winning combination whose advantage differs depending on the pressing order, even if it is controlled by the AT, Even when controlled by the AT, the navigation effect is executed with the same probability, and as a result, the number of payouts in the CB becomes the same. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a difference in the degree of advantage between when the AT is controlled and when the AT is controlled once during the latent period, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, when comparing the case where the first winning combination was won at the latent AT and the case where the second winning combination was won at the latent AT, the one who won the first winning combination in the CB1 game is CB2. The game can be played up to the game, and as a result, the number of payouts in the CB can be increased. Therefore, when the CB is executed at RT3 where the first winning combination that is not won at RT0-2 is won, the number of medals to be awarded during the CB is larger than when the CB is executed at RT0-2. . Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the RT state when the CB is performed and the winning result during the CB, and the interest can be improved.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About special games]
In the present embodiment, CB is exemplified as an example of the special game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other games may be used. For example, the special game may be a big bonus (BB) or a regular bonus (RB). Further, the special game may be a mini game or the like to which a privilege is given by a mini game or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the CB is exemplified to be controlled so as to be finished by paying out 15 medals. However, not limited thereto, for example, or may be controlled to Ryosuru ends with 30 sheets and 45 sheets of medals payout. Even in this case, in a game during CB, when CB winning is advantageous (for example, controlled by AT and RT state is advantageous), but before CB winning is not advantageous (for example, for AT) (It is not controlled and the RT state is not advantageous), and it is preferable that a navigation effect is easily performed during CB and more medals are paid out.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, when the CB is performed, the RT state does not change and the game in the CB is executed, and then the RT state does not change even after the CB ends. A penetration type CB was illustrated. However, after the CB ends, the RT state before the CB is performed and the RT state different from the RT state in the CB may be changed.

[Navigation production lottery]
In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that it is determined whether or not the navigation effect is executed based on the information of the navigation effect execution probability stored in the tables of FIG. 15 and FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other values may be used as the value of the navigation effect execution probability. For example, in the present embodiment, the navigation effect execution probability is set to 0% so that no navigation effect is performed at the time of non-AT. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There may be cases where a navigation effect is executed. In addition, it is more preferable that the probability is set so that the navigation effect is executed more when the AT or the latent AT is controlled.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in the CB, there is a possibility that the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 are won only at RT3. That is, during the CB, the first winning combination was won only at RT3. However, during the CB, the first winning combination may be won even in other RT states.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 may be won and the navigation effect may be executed even at RT2. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining a CB navigation effect execution table in a modified example.

  As shown in FIG. 21, at RT2, if it is non-AT, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards and the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards are not executed in both the CB1 game and the second game. Yes.

  In the case of an AT, when the first winning combination is won for the CB1 game, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and 15 tickets are paid out with a probability of 50%. A navigation effect is executed. When the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 50%. The

  Also, if the AT is latent, if the first winning role is won in the CB1 game, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a 50% probability, and 15 tickets are paid out with a 50% probability. For this purpose is executed. When the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 50%. The

  At RT3, if it is non-AT, the navigation effect for paying out 14 pieces and the navigation effect for paying out 15 pieces are not executed in both the CB1 game and the second game.

  In the case of AT, if the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is not executed. . If the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is not executed.

  Also, if the AT is latent, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100% in the case of the CB1 game when the first winning combination is won, and the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is Not executed. If the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is not executed.

  In this way, there may be cases where the first winning combination is won at RT2 in CB, and moreover, at RT3, it is more likely to pay 14 CB1 games than at RT2. The navigation effect may be executed, and the navigation effect for paying out 15 cards in the subsequent CB2 game may be executed. As a result, the possibility that two games can be played in CB is higher in RT3 than in RT2, and as a result, the degree of advantage can be increased by increasing the number of payouts in CB. Therefore, the player's interest can be attracted to which re-playing player is won, and the interest can be further improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, during CB, when the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won, a navigation effect for paying out 14 sheets is executed according to the pressing order. There was a possibility. That is, as the first winning combination in the CB, the simultaneous winning combination of the normal lip 2 and all the small combinations or the simultaneous winning combination of the normal lip 3 and all the small combinations is set. However, during the CB, another combination may be set as the first winning combination.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, during CB, regardless of whether the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won, the navigation effect is performed based on the same information stored in the table. Was to be executed. That is, there is no difference in the probability that the navigation effect is executed regardless of whether the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won. However, there may be a difference in the probability that the navigation effect is executed according to the type of the re-playing winning combination.

  For example, FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining a CB navigation effect execution table in the RT3 state in the modification. As shown in FIG. 22, in this modified example, a new normal lip 4 is set to win in the CB, and even when the normal lip 4 is won, 14 sheets are paid out according to the pressing order. A navigation effect is executed. Furthermore, there is a difference in the probability that the navigation effect will be executed depending on whether the normal lip 2, the normal lip 3 or the normal lip 4 is won.

  More specifically, when the normal lip 2 is won, both the AT and the latent AT will be given a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards with a 50% probability when the first winning combination is won for the CB1 game. This is executed, and a navigation effect for paying out 15 sheets is executed with a probability of 50%. When the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 50%. The

  In addition, when the normal lip 3 is won, both the AT and the latent AT are executed with a 70% probability of the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game. The navigation effect for paying out 15 sheets is executed with a probability of%. In the case of the CB2 game when winning the first winning combination, a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 70%, and a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 30%. The

  In addition, when the normal rip 4 is won, the navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100% when both the AT and the latent AT are CB1 games when the first winning combination is won. 15 The navigation effect for sheet delivery is not executed. If the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, a navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is not executed.

As described above, during the CB, even when the newly set normal lip 4 is won in addition to the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3, the navigation effect for executing the 14-sheet payout is executed according to the pressing order. It may be. Further, the probability that the navigation effect for paying out 14 sheets in the order of normal lip 2, normal lip 3, and normal lip 4 may be increased. This
It is possible to attract the player's interest in which re-game player is won and to further enhance the interest.

[About the first winning role in CB]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 constituting the first winning combination are set in a pushing order so that 14 sheets are not paid out in the first left stop. During CB, as long as the first left stop was made, 14 sheets were not paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the first winning combination is won during the CB, it may be possible to pay out 14 cards by making the first left stop.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 20, a normal lip 4 is newly provided as a winning combination constituting the first winning combination, and when the normal lip 4 is won, 14 sheets are paid out by the first left stop. May be. Even in this case, depending on which winning combination during the CB, it is possible to vary whether the 14 payouts or 15 payouts are made in the first game in the CB. As a result, the cumulative number of medals paid out during CB can be varied. Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the RT state when the CB is performed and the winning result during the CB, and the interest can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, a penalty is imposed on the first left stop at the non-AT. Therefore, by setting the pressing order of the first winning combination so that 14 sheets are not paid out by the first left stop during CB, 14 sheets are not paid out as much as possible in non-AT. On the other hand, there is no penalty for the first left stop at the AT, and 14 tickets can be paid out by the navigation effect. In this way, a penalty is imposed on the first left stop at non-AT, and the pushing order of the first winning combination is set so that 14 sheets are not paid out by the first left stop during CB. As a result, a player who is controlled by the AT during the CB can have a higher degree of advantage than a player who is not controlled by the AT.

  In this embodiment, of the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, a penalty is imposed on the first stop of the left reel 2L. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the slot machine provided, a penalty may be imposed on the first stop of the leftmost reel.

[How to increase the advantage when winning the first winning role during CB]
In this embodiment, when winning the first winning combination during the CB, more than 14 medals are paid out as a method of increasing the advantage compared to winning the second winning combination other than the first winning combination. In the CB with the ending condition, when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, 14 pieces are paid out by the navigation effect and the CB2 game can be played, resulting in 15 in the CB2 game. As an example, 29 sheets are paid out after a total of 29 sheets have been paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other methods may be used.

  For example, when the first winning combination is won during CB, if the navigation stock that cannot be obtained when winning the second winning combination is given, the navigation will be performed during CB or after CB ends. The navigation effect is executed by the consumption of the stock and the medal is easily paid out. Thus, when the first winning combination is won during CB, the number of medals to be paid out is increased during CB or after the CB has ended, compared to when winning the second winning combination other than the first winning combination. The advantage can be increased. In addition, the AT lottery is performed when winning the first winning combination or the second winning combination during the CB, and when winning the first winning combination, the AT lottery is performed more than when winning the second winning combination. The probability that the navigation stock is given may be high. Further, when the first winning combination is won, the number of navigation stocks granted may be larger when the navigation stock is given by the AT lottery than when the second winning combination is won.

  Further, in this case, the player can distinguish between the winning / winning result derived when winning the first winning combination during CB and the winning / winning result derived when winning the second winning combination during CB. May be different. For example, when the first winning combination is won during CB, a winning combination of a chance combination (for example, a watermelon, etc.) suggesting that it is advantageous to the player, such as winning a bonus at the same time, is generally derived. In the case where the second winning combination is won, a winning combination of a winning combination (for example, a bell or the like) in which only payout is performed may be derived. As a result, when the winning event derived during the CB is a chance role, for example, a game in which Navi stock is given or the winning probability in the AT lottery is improved by the winning event. Can be expected.

  In addition, as another example of making a player have an expectation according to the outcome of winning a prize, a line winning when winning the first winning combination during CB and a line winning when winning the second winning combination during CB May be made different so that the player can distinguish them. For example, if the first winning combination is won during CB, the winning combination is based on the symbol combination derived to the right-up line, and if the second winning combination is won during CB, the symbol is derived to the middle line. You may win according to a combination. As a result, if the winning in CB is a winning combination based on the symbol combination derived to the right-up line, for example, navigation stock is given by the winning line, or the winning probability in the AT lottery is improved. On the other hand, expectation can be given to the player.

[About AT during incubation]
In the present embodiment, non-AT, AT, and latent AT are provided as gaming states related to AT, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the AT may not include a special state of the latent AT, and the AT may include latent and non-latent. In this case, the AT in the present embodiment corresponds to the AT in the non-latent state, and the AT in the latent state in the present embodiment corresponds to the AT in the latent state.

  In the present embodiment, the latent period controlled by the latent AT is 32 games. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other game numbers may be used.

[About navigation performance execution probability of AT and AT during incubation]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the probability of executing a navigation effect for paying out 14 cards when the first winning combination is won in the latent AT, and the case where the first winning combination is won at the AT. Both the navigation performance execution probabilities for paying out 14 cards were 100%. However, the navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets when the first winning combination is won in the AT at the time of latent and the navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets when the first winning combination is won at the AT If it is the same or substantially the same, it is not limited to 100%. For example, if the navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets at the AT is α% and the navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets at the latent AT is α ± A%, the A% is the AT at the latent AT. Any value may be used as long as the player feels that the navigation effect execution probability and the navigation effect execution probability in the AT are not significantly different.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the second winning combination is won in both the AT and AT at the time of incubation, it is determined whether or not to execute the navigation effect randomly based on a predetermined lottery probability. Not limited to this. For example, the predetermined navigation effect execution probability when the second winning combination is won in the AT at the time of incubation may be lower than the predetermined navigation effect execution probability when the second winning combination is won in the AT. More specifically, the predetermined navigation effect execution probability is 30% when the second winning combination is won in the latent AT, and the predetermined navigation effect execution probability is 70 when the second winning combination is won in the AT. %.

  By doing in this way, when the result of the internal lottery is the result of winning the second winning combination having the same advantage regardless of the pressing order, the navigation effect is executed with a probability of 70% when it is AT. On the other hand, the navigation effect is executed with a probability of 30% which is lower than the probability of 70% when the AT is in the latent period. For this reason, after the AT is over, the second winning combination is advantageous regardless of the order of pushing while making it difficult for the player to specify whether it is a latent AT controlled by the AT again or a period not controlled by the AT again. Since the degree is the same, there can be no difference in the degree of advantage between the case where the AT is continued and the case where the AT is once controlled at the time of the latent time, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  Further, for example, when the second winning combination is won in the latent AT, the navigation effect is not executed (the navigation effect execution probability is 0%), and when the second winning combination is won in the AT, the navigation effect is executed (navigation effect). The execution probability may be 100%).

  By doing in this way, when the result of the internal lottery is the result of winning the second winning combination with the same advantage regardless of the pressing order, the navigation effect is executed when it is AT, The navigation effect is not executed when the AT is in the latent state. For this reason, after the AT is over, the second winning combination is advantageous regardless of the order of pushing while making it difficult for the player to specify whether it is a latent AT controlled by the AT again or a period not controlled by the AT again. Since the degree is the same, there can be no difference in the degree of advantage between the case where the AT is continued and the case where the AT is once controlled at the time of the latent time, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

[About game state transition]
In the present embodiment, RT1 is controlled to RT2 when the promoted lip (lip 2) is derived, and RT2 is controlled to RT3 when the rush lip (lip 6, 10-12) is derived. Was illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be controlled by RT2 or RT3 when other symbol combinations are derived.

[Regarding the condition that the second gaming state is more advantageous than the first gaming state]
In the present embodiment, as a condition that RT3, which is an example of the second gaming state, is more advantageous than RT0, which is an example of the first gaming state, the first winning combination that is not won in RT0-2 14 wins from the CB1 game, triggered by the fact that the first winning combination was won in the CB1 game when the winning combination consisting of the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is RT3. Medals can be paid out and CB2 games can also be played. In other words, on condition that the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, a predetermined small role winning is generated so that the advantage of RT3 is higher than that of RT0-2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other conditions may be used.

  For example, the probability that a freeze lottery that determines whether or not to execute a freeze effect that is advantageous to the player at RT0 to RT2 and RT3 is executed, and that RT3 is determined to execute the freeze effect at the freeze lottery than RT0 to 2 If it is set to be higher, RT3 will generate a certain small role winning so that the advantage of RT3 is higher than that of RT0-2 on the condition that it is decided that the freeze effect will be executed in the freeze lottery It may be allowed. It should be noted that RT3 is not limited to those having a higher probability of being determined to perform the freeze effect in the freeze lottery than RT0-2, even if the freeze lottery is executed only at RT3. Good. Further, the lottery is not limited to freeze lottery, and may be a lottery for determining whether or not to execute a mini game advantageous for a player and whether or not to give a privilege, or other lottery.

  Also, if the freeze effect that is not executed at RT0 to 2 is executed only at RT3, RT3 is more advantageous than RT0 to 2 on the condition that the freeze effect is actually executed. As such, a predetermined small role winning may be generated.

  As described above, a predetermined lottery in which the probability of winning in the second gaming state is higher than that in the first gaming state (a lottery that wins the player by winning) is performed. When winning, a small winning combination having a higher advantage for the player than when not winning may be generated.

  In addition, a predetermined lottery that is not performed in the first gaming state is performed in the second gaming state, and on the condition that the lottery is won, a predetermined small role winning is made so as to increase the degree of advantage. It may be generated.

  In addition, the second gaming state is set to have a higher probability that the predetermined condition is satisfied than the first gaming state, and the degree of advantage is increased on the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. As described above, a predetermined small winning combination may be generated.

  In addition, a predetermined condition that is not satisfied in the first gaming state is satisfied in the second gaming state, and on the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the predetermined small role is increased so that the degree of advantage is increased. A prize may be generated.

[Other variations]
In the above-described embodiment, the variable display device having the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is provided, and when all the reels are stopped, one game is finished, and according to the combination of the display results derived to the three reels. The slot machine where a prize is generated was explained. That is, a variable display device capable of deriving a display result in each of a plurality of variable display areas capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable, and using one game value for one game By setting a predetermined number of bets, the game can be started, and when the display result is derived in all of the plurality of variable display areas, one game is completed, and the plurality of results are obtained as a result of one game. A slot machine in which a winning can be generated according to the combination of the display results derived in each of the variable display areas has been described. However, when a display result is derived to a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified, one game is completed, and a prize is awarded according to the display result derived to the variable display device. As long as the slot machine can be generated, the slot machine is not limited to one having a variable display device having three reels, but has a single reel or a variable display device having a plurality of reels other than three. It may be.

  In the above embodiment, a slot machine that uses medals and credits to set the bet number is used.
