Information on the means (3) to (5) is notified.

  According to such a configuration, when a special game is executed while being controlled in the advantageous gaming state, the player tends to operate in a specific operation procedure in order to derive a display result that is highly advantageous for the player. During the period in which the advantageous gaming state is controlled and the second effect is being executed, the information notifying means notifies the predetermined information for operating in the predetermined operation procedure. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a specific game procedure from being operated in a special game during the period in which the second game is being executed while being controlled in the advantageous game state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged against the player's intention.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The winning that determines that the pre-determining means allows the occurrence includes a specific winning (for example, a cherry role, a watermelon role, a bell role),
When the determination result of the prior determination means is a determination result indicating that the occurrence of the specific winning is permitted, than when the operation is received by the derivation operation reception means in an operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure, Deriving a specific prize display result for generating the specific prize at a higher rate when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit in the predetermined operation procedure;
The predetermined information is information that can specify that the determination result of the pre-determining means may be a determination result indicating that the occurrence of the specific winning is permitted (for example, any one of “cherry or watermelon or bell”). ) May be won!

  According to such a configuration, a predetermined operation is performed in order to derive the specific winning display result by informing the information that can specify that the determination result of the pre-decision means is the determination result indicating that the generation of the specific winning is permitted. It can be operated by a procedure. As a result, unintentional disadvantageous control for the player can be prevented.

(4) In any of the slot machines (1) to (3) above,
The predetermined information includes information that can specify the predetermined operation procedure (for example, “left!”).

  According to such a structure, it can be made to operate by a predetermined operation procedure by alerting | reporting the information which can specify a predetermined operation procedure. As a result, unintentional disadvantageous control for the player can be prevented.

(5) In any of the slot machines (1) to (4) above,
The predetermined information is information that allows the disadvantage control means to specify that disadvantage control is performed when the derivation operation acceptance means is accepted by the derivation operation acceptance means in an operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure (“anomaly pushing” Then, there will be characters such as “Penalty !!!”.

  According to such a configuration, the disadvantageous control for the player is performed by notifying that the disadvantageous control is performed when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means in an operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure. Can be prevented.

(6) In any of the slot machines (1) to (5) above,
The derivation control means, when the specific determination result is determined by the prior determination means during the special gaming state, the specific operation procedure corresponding to the specific determination result (for example, when normal lip 2 is won) In the special operation procedure (right first stop) other than the middle first stop) and the predetermined operation procedure (left first stop), and when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means, When the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting means, a display result having the same advantage is derived (both are 15 paying out players as shown in FIG. 11),
In the game in which the operation procedure information has been notified by the information notification unit, the disadvantage control unit has the disadvantage when the operation is received by the derivation operation reception unit in the operation procedure specified by the notified operation procedure information. Without control,
The information notification means is a special operation for notifying operation procedure information for specifying an operation procedure of the special operation procedure in the special game state in which the second effect is being executed and occurred in the advantageous game state. Procedure information notification means is included.

  According to such a configuration, in the game in which the operation procedure information is notified by the information notification unit, the disadvantage control unit receives the operation by the derived operation reception unit in the operation procedure specified by the notified operation procedure information. When this happens, the disadvantage control is not performed, and the operation procedure information for specifying the operation procedure of the special operation procedure is notified. Therefore, even if it is operated by the special operation procedure from the notified operation procedure information, the disadvantageous control is not executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, when the second effect is being executed, the player is not notified of the operation procedure information for specifying the special operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure, so that the 14 paying out combination is awarded. There is nothing. Therefore, the advantage is higher when the first effect in which there is a possibility that the 14 paying out winning combination is won, and the interest of the game is improved than when the second effect is executed. be able to.

(7) In any of the slot machines (1) to (6) above,
The pre-determining means generates a plurality of types of winnings including a small winning combination (for example, a strawberry winning combination) accompanied by the awarding of the game value before a display result is derived to the variable display device. Decide whether to allow
In the special gaming state, in the advantageous gaming state or the normal gaming state, the occurrence of the small part winning is always allowed regardless of the determination result of the pre-determining means (for example, the small part is elected to all roles)
The derivation control means, when the specific determination result is determined by the prior determination means during the special gaming state (winning of the first winning combination), when the specific determination result is not determined (second winning prize) Control is performed to cause the variable display device to derive a small combination display result that generates a small combination winning that is highly advantageous to the player at a higher rate than the winning of a combination.

  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 an advantageous game state that can be determined as a specific determination result that is not determined in the normal game state, an opportunity for the player to become more advantageous than when a special game is executed in the normal game state Will increase. 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.

(8) In any of the slot machines (1) to (7) above,
The production execution means
The first effect can be executed when there is a right (navigator stock) and is not executed when there is no right, and the second effect is not executed regardless of the presence of the right. When run,
When the predetermined timing (for example, when the number of remaining AT games becomes 0) is reached within the period in which the first effect is being executed and the right is held after the predetermined timing, the first Latency control (control to latency time AT) for executing the first effect again after executing the second effect over a predetermined latent period (latency AT, 32 games) after ending one effect. ) Or continuous control (control to AT continuation) for continuously executing the first effect without executing the second effect (determined by latent lottery),
When the right does not exist after the predetermined timing, normal control (control to non-AT) for executing the second effect until the right is newly granted is executed,
The derivation control means includes
In a specific game (first game of CB, RT3), when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the first determination result as the specific determination result, the specific operation procedure corresponding to the first determination result The specific display result is derived when an operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit, and the specific display result is displayed in the specific game when the operation is accepted by the derivation operation accepting unit in an operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure. To derive a display result that is less advantageous for the player than when it was derived,
Regardless of the operation procedure received by the derivation operation reception means when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the second determination result (for example, winning other than the normal lip 2 and normal lip 3 at the time of CB) Deriving a display result (15 payouts in CB) with the same advantage for the player,
The information notification means includes:
When the determination result of the prior determination means in the specific game becomes the first determination result, a predetermined probability (whether it is the advantageous period during which the first effect is executed or the incubation period) 100%), the first notification means for notifying the advantageous information that can identify the specific operation procedure corresponding to the first determination result (for example, when the normal lip 2 is won during the CB, the middle first stop). When,
When the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the second determination result, when it is the advantageous period, predetermined information capable of specifying a predetermined operation procedure is notified with a first probability (100%), and the latent When it is a period, the predetermined information is notified with a second probability (0%) lower than the first probability, or the predetermined information is not notified during the incubation period, Second informing means for informing at a certain time;
And third notification means for notifying the predetermined information in the special game state in which the normal control is being executed and occurred in the advantageous game state.

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermining means in the specific game is the first determination result having a different degree of advantage depending on the operation procedure, even if the advantageous period is continued, Even if the incubation period is once set, the advantage 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.

  In addition, when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the second determination result having the same advantage regardless of the operation procedure, the predetermined information is notified with the first probability when it is the advantageous period, When it is the incubation 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, there can be no 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.

  In addition, when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the second determination result having the same advantage regardless of the operation procedure, the predetermined information is notified when it is the advantageous period, while it is predetermined when it is the latent period. Information may not be notified. For this reason, when the advantageous effect is finished, it is possible to prevent the player from specifying 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, and the second determination result is Because the advantage is the same regardless of the operation procedure, it is possible to prevent a 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.

  Further, when the normal control is executed, the game is controlled to the advantageous game state, and the special game is executed during the period in which the second effect is executed, the predetermined information is notified. Therefore, the player who has recognized the predetermined information can prevent unintentional disadvantageous control from being performed by performing the predetermined operation procedure instead of the specific operation procedure, and can improve the interest of the game.

  Further, 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. “Substantially the same” means that the player feels that the navigation effect execution probability during the incubation period and the navigation effect execution probability during AT do not differ greatly.

(9) In any of the slot machines (1) to (8) above,
Common effect executing means for executing a common effect when the game state control means is controlled to the special game state and when not controlled to the special game state (different between non-CB time and CB time) No directing)
Game value storage means for storing the game value owned by the player (processing for storing as credit);
Bet number setting operation means operated when setting the bet number using the game value stored in the game value storage means (MAXBET switch 6 capable of MAXBET operation),
An operation bet number setting unit (main control unit 41) that sets a bet number when a predetermined operation (depressing the MAXBET switch 6) is performed on the bet number setting operation unit so that one game can be started. The process of setting the number of bets that one game can start by)
When a re-player who can play the next game without using the game value wins, the re-game is set so that one game can be started by setting the number of bets without using the game value. A bet number setting means at the time of winning a prize (a process of automatically setting a bet number even if there is no player BET operation by the main control unit 41);
Bet number notifying means (speakers 53 and 54) for notifying that the bet number at which one game can be started is set;
The number of bets at which one game can be started is different between when the special game is being executed and when the special game is not being executed (the number of bets at which one game can be started is “3” at the time of non-CB. ”Is determined, and at the time of CB, only“ 1 ”is determined as the number of bets that can start one game)
The betting number notification means includes:
When the special game is not being executed, one game can be started by the operation betting number setting means, and one game can be started by the re-gamer winning prize betting number setting means. And the same manner of notification (three sound effects “Pip” are output from the speakers 53 and 54 as shown in FIG. 25),
Further, when the special game is being executed, the same manner is also notified when the operation betting number setting means makes it possible to start one game (speaker 53, as shown in FIG. 25). 54, three sound effects “Beep” are output as “Beep, Beep, Beep”).

  According to such a configuration, it is difficult for the player to determine which game state is being performed by performing a common effect when controlled by a special game and when not controlled by a special game. Can do. Further, even when the number of bets at which one game can be started is different between when controlled by special games and when not controlled by special games, when a predetermined operation is performed by the bet number setting operation means A notification is made that the number of bets that can start one game in the same mode has been set. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from discriminating which gaming state is informed by the notification that the bet amount has been set. Furthermore, since the notification mode is not changed according to the number of bets, the processing burden can be reduced. In addition, one game is played in the same manner when a re-gamer wins and when a predetermined operation is performed by the betting number setting operation means when the game is controlled by a special game or when the game is not controlled by a special game. A notification that the number of bets that can be started is set. As a result, the notification mode is not changed according to the opportunity for setting the number of bets at which one game can be started, so that the processing burden can be reduced.

  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 step S3, the process of rotating the reels 2L, 2C, 2R and the operation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R in response to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R detected by the player are detected. 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.

  Hereinafter, the pressing order for the first left stop is also referred to as “recommended pressing order”, and pressing the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in “recommended pressing order” is also referred to as “forward pressing”. In addition, the pushing order other than the recommended pushing order (that is, the pushing order for the first stop right or the middle first stop) is also called “anomalous pushing order”, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are pushed in the “abnormal pushing order”. Is also referred to as “anomaly pushing”. In other words, if the player performs irregular pushing during non-AT, a penalty is awarded.

  In the present embodiment, the following penalty is imposed when the first left stop is not made in a non-AT game. Further, the penalty may be imposed when the first left stop is not performed in a game in which a normal effect described later is executed. As the penalty, the AT lottery described later is not executed during the 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 normal navigation effect for notifying information (such as operation procedure) according to the internal lottery result can be executed. . In the present embodiment, a preventive navigation effect is also executed in addition to the normal navigation effect. Hereinafter, the normal navigation effect and the prevention navigation effect may be collectively referred to as a navigation effect, which will be described later.

  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 sub-control unit 91 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, 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 number of bets 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 changing the setting) to the start of the game. 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. 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. That is, 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.

That is, AT18 is a missed role. When winning at AT18, one medal is paid out.

  Among the small roles, strawberry is awarded when the combination of “ANY-strawberry-lip” is aligned on the active line. Since the symbol of the left reel 2L is “ANY”, it is possible to win a strawberry no matter which symbol stops on the active line. In addition, since “strawberry” as a 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. Furthermore, since “Rip”, which is a symbol of the right reel 2R, is arranged within five frames, it can be stopped at any valid line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8R. Therefore, when winning a strawberry in the internal lottery, the winning strawberry can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In other words, strawberries are an unmissable role. When winning a strawberry, 14 medals are paid out.

  Among the small roles, the chance role includes two types of chance roles, chance 1 and chance 2. Chance 1 is awarded when the combination of “blank-bell a-ANY” is aligned on the active line. The “blank” that is the symbol of the left reel 2L is not arranged within five frames. However, by enabling five types of winning lines L1 to L5 as effective lines, it is possible to stop “blank” on any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. Further, “bell a” which is a symbol of the middle reel 2C is not arranged within five frames. Furthermore, “bell a” may not be able to stop at any valid line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8C. Further, since the symbol of the right reel 2R is “ANY”, the chance 1 can be won regardless of which symbol stops on the active line. Therefore, when the chance 1 is won in the internal lottery, the winning chance 1 cannot be won if the stop switches 8L and 8C are not operated at an appropriate timing. In other words, chance 1 is a missed role. When winning the chance 1, 7 medals are paid out.

  Chance 2 is awarded when the combination of “blank-bell b-ANY” is aligned on the active line. The “blank” that is the symbol of the left reel 2L is not arranged within five frames. However, by enabling five types of winning lines L1 to L5 as effective lines, it is possible to stop “blank” on any effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L. Further, “bell b” which is a symbol of the middle reel 2C is not arranged within 5 frames. Furthermore, “bell b” may not be able to stop at any valid line depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 8C. Since the symbol of the right reel 2R is “ANY”, the chance 2 can be won regardless of which symbol stops on the active line. Therefore, when the chance 2 is won in the internal lottery, the winning chance 2 cannot be won unless the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated at an appropriate timing. In other words, chance 2 is a missed role. When winning in chance 2, 7 medals are paid out.

  Next, the missed output will be described with reference to FIG. In the game in which a winning combination is selected from any of the left bells 1 to 3, middle bells 1 to 3, and right bells 1 to 3 to be described later, In the case where it is not possible to win a prize (when it is missed), it is a specific off-set symbol combination that is always drawn on the active line and stops.

  As shown in FIG. The spilled eye 1 is a symbol combination in which “bell a-bell a-JAC1” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 2 is a symbol combination in which “bell a-bell b-JAC1” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 3 is a symbol combination in which “bell b-bell a-JAC1” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 4 is a symbol combination in which “bell b-bell b-JAC1” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 5 is a symbol combination in which “bell c-bell a-JAC1” is stopped on the active line. Spilled eyes 6 refer to symbol combinations in which “bell c-bell b-JAC1” is stopped on the active line.

  The spilled eyes 7 are symbol combinations in which “white 7-bell a-bell a” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 8 is a symbol combination in which “white 7-bell a-bell b” is stopped on the active line. Spilled eyes 9 refer to symbol combinations in which “white 7-bell a-bell c” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eyes 10 are symbol combinations in which “white 7-bell b-bell a” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 11 is a symbol combination in which “white 7-bell b-bell b” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eyes 12 refer to symbol combinations in which “white 7-bell b-bell c” is stopped on the active line.

  The spilled eyes 13 refer to symbol combinations in which “bell a-bell a-JAC3” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eyes 14 are symbol combinations in which “bell a-bell b-JAC3” is stopped on the active line. The spilled eye 15 is a symbol combination in which “bell b-bell a-JAC3” is stopped on the active line. 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.

  The lottery target combination is provided with an internal lottery for only one winning combination and an internal lottery for a plurality of winning combinations at the same time. 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.

  Also, 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 pressing order of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3 is 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 normal navigation production when the left bell 1 to 3, the middle bell 1 to 3, and the right bell 1 to 3 are won. Thus, it is possible to reliably win the JAC and to avoid falling to RT1.

  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. The table shown in FIG. 10 is also called a non-CB table.

  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 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 performance state is AT, the promotion lip can be surely won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure according to the normal navigation effect when 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, if the winning combination of “++ lip 2” or “++ lip 3” is won during non-AT, there is a high possibility of winning the falling-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 performance state is AT, the stop lip is won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure in accordance with the normal navigation effect when winning the pass + ascending lip 2 or passing + ascending lip 3. Can be avoided, and 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 rushing lip is surely performed by performing the stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure in accordance with the normal navigation production when the winning combination of the “++ Lip 2” or “++ Trip 3” is won. Can be awarded and 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 normal navigation effects are not executed. As described above, since normal navigation effects are not executed at RT0, a high probability is obtained when winning one of left bells 1 to 3, middle bells 1 to 3, and right bells 1 to 3 at RT0. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the JAC and 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.

  Even if a penalty is imposed at RT1, it is set so that it is difficult to maintain control of RT2 even when the first stop is made at the left and a promotion lip is awarded to control 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 normal navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a promotion lip may be executed when one of the pass + promotion lip 1-4 is won. For this reason, by performing a stop operation in accordance with the normal navigation effect, it is possible to shift to RT2 by promotion lip winning.

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

  Furthermore, in RT2, a normal navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a rushing lip can be executed when any one of the passing + rushing lip 1-3 is won. For this reason, by performing the stop operation according to the normal 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 normal navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning a JAC is executed. The Therefore, by performing the stop operation according to the normal 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, when one of the channels 1 to 3 is won, a normal navigation effect for specifying an operation procedure for winning the chance lip is executed.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the normal navigation effect is executed so that the control is performed by the RT3 and the RT3 is maintained when the AT is being performed. Most of the games at that time 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).

  In the slot machine of the present embodiment, as described later, the gaming state is controlled to any one of AT, latent AT, and non-AT. Then, as shown in FIG. 20 described later, a period that is non-AT and RT3 is referred to as a “specific period”. Further, in the “specific period”, when the missed out point is derived or the falling lip is won (see FIG. 8), it falls from RT3 to RT1 (that is, non-AT + RT1). As described above, a period in which the RT1 is maintained by falling from RT3 in the specific period is referred to as a “falling period”. In addition, the “specific period” may be a period in which the normal performance is being executed and is RT3.

  In the slot machine of this embodiment, an advantageous effect is executed during the ART (AT + RT3) period, and a normal effect is executed during the specific period (non-AT + RT3) and the fall period (non-AT + RT1). Here, the advantageous effect is an effect of notifying information more advantageous to the player than the normal effect. Advantageous effects include, for example, a normal navigation effect, an effect of notifying the number of remaining AT games, and an effect of setting a background image different from the background image of the normal effect. Further, the advantageous effect includes an effect of notifying that the AT has started in the game where the AT is started (AT1 game).

  In other words, since the regular performance is executed even during the specific period or the fall period, the content of the production should not allow the player to grasp whether the period is the specific period or the fall period. In other words, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the RT state after the AT ends, and to improve the interest of the game.

  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. Thereby, processing load can be reduced compared with what changes RT state by generation | occurrence | production of CB.

[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 table shown in FIG. 11 is also referred to as a non-CB table.

  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 Lip 1-3, all small combinations and 7-set lip, and all small combinations and 7-off lip are sequentially read out as target lotteries for 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.

  In addition, in the following, in the CB, winning the normal lip 2 and all the small roles shown in FIG. 11 at the same time is simply referred to as “winning the normal lip 2”, and simultaneously winning the normal lip 3 and all the small roles. This is simply referred to as “normally winning Lip 3”. In addition, a combination in which 14 medals are paid out shown in FIG. 11 may be referred to as a “14 payout combination”, and a combination in which 15 medals are paid out may be referred to as a “15 payout combination”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the CB is operated in the recommended pushing order, the 15-payout combination always wins, but when operated in a pushing order other than the recommended pushing order, there is a possibility that the 14-payout winning combination wins. It is a game. Further, in the above description, “when winning a CB, the CB is started without changing the RT state before and after the CB winning” has been described, but this is also clear when FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are compared. As described above, the “lottery target role” and “probability to win the lottery target role for each RT state (number of judgment values)” of the game before winning the CB are all inherited. The probability of winning a lottery target for each RT state (number of judgment values) ”. In other words, as long as the RT state is not changed, the “lottery target part” and the “probability of winning the lottery target part for each RT state (number of judgment values)” of the game before the CB winning and the game in the CB are the same. is there. Furthermore, as long as the RT state is not changed, the “lottery target part” and “probability of winning the lottery target part for each RT state (decision value)” of the game before CB winning and the game in CB, The game “lottery target” and “probability of winning the lottery target for each RT state (number of determination values)” may be the same.

[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 is won 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 normal 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.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by displaying the symbol combination “JAC3-JAC2-JAC3” as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to suggest to the player that the player has won a CB. Therefore, the player can recognize that he / she has won a CB and can improve the interest of the game.

[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 is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the 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 an operation procedure different from the operation procedure specified from the normal navigation effect is performed in the game in which the normal navigation effect is executed during the AT, and determines that the operation is performed according to a different procedure. When it is done, 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 normal navigation effect cannot be performed due to a simple operation mistake. In such a case, a penalty is also imposed on a bona fide player. In order to resolve this, if the penalty condition in the AT that can be inferred that the probability that the player is intentionally operating in a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the normal navigation effect is high is satisfied, the penalty is Control may be performed.

  The penalty condition during AT is, for example, that the number of times operated in a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the normal navigation effect reaches the predetermined number (5 times) until the predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) is consumed. It may be established, or may be established by being operated by a procedure other than the operation procedure specified from the normal navigation effect continuously for 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal navigation effects 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 normal 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 normal navigation effect 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 normal 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 rolls 1 to 3 is won, there is a high possibility that a roll-off prize will be obtained, 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 normal 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. Further, when the number of remaining AT games is 0 and the remaining number of navigation stock is 0, the game is shifted to non-AT without executing the latent lottery.

  In the present embodiment, when the normal 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 there is a normal navigation effect, 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 normal 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 normal 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.

[Normal navigation during non-CB]
Next, normal navigation effects executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-CB will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for executing a non-CB normal navigation effect execution process when the first winning combination is won. The sub-control unit 91 executes the normal navigation effect based on a predetermined probability according to the AT state when the first winning combination is won by executing the non-CB normal 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). When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the internal winning command specifying that the first winning combination has been won has not been received (NO in S10), the sub-control unit 91 has won the second winning combination, and is therefore non-CB normal. The navigation effect execution process is terminated.

  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 normal navigation effect execution lottery based on the non-CB normal navigation effect execution table of FIG. 15 according to the specified AT state (step S30).

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

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

  For example, if it is a non-AT, the normal 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 normal navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100%.

  Further, if the AT is in the latent period, the normal 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, the normal navigation effect is 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 example of the normal navigation effect, for example, when winning one of the left bells 1 to 3, the middle bells 1 to 3, and the right bells 1 to 3, the JAC is surely won according to the winning situation and dropped out. The pushing order for avoiding the derivation of the outcome is notified. More specifically, as a normal 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 normal navigation effect when winning one of pass + ascending lip 1-4, pass + turn lip 1-3, pass + bump lip 1-3, and chanlip 1-3, according to the winning situation The pushing order that is advantageous to the player is notified. More specifically, as a normal navigation effect when winning the commendation + promotion lip 1, a message such as “medium! Next is right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in order to win the promotion lip. The

  Note that the mode of the normal 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 normal 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 normal navigation effect execution lottery, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the normal navigation effect is executed as a result of the lottery (S40). When it is determined that the normal navigation effect is not executed (NO in S40), the sub control unit 91 ends the non-CB normal navigation effect execution process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal 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 is not 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 normal navigation effect is executed for the first time in the latent AT, so the AT return notification is performed. Is executed (S60). Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 executes a normal navigation effect (S70) and ends the non-CB normal navigation effect execution process.

  In this embodiment, the normal navigation effect is executed after the AT return notification, but the AT return notification may be executed after the normal navigation effect is executed. The navigation effect and the AT return notification may be executed at the same time.

  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 normal navigation effect is executed without notifying the AT return (S70), and the non-CB normal navigation effect execution process is terminated.

[Directing during CB]
Next, the navigation effect performed by the sub control unit 91 during CB will be described. In the present embodiment, the navigation effect executed in the CB includes a normal navigation effect or a preventive navigation effect.

  Here, the prevention navigation effect will be described. As described above, a penalty is awarded when the player performs irregular pressing when the player is not AT (that is, when the normal navigation effect is not executed). Further, when a CB is won when the player is not AT, the player recognizes that the CB has been won by grasping that “JAC3-JAC2-JAC3”, which is a symbol for winning the CB, has been derived. In particular, when winning a CB at RT3, winning the first winning combination (simultaneous winning of normal lip 2 and all small roles as shown in FIG. 11 or simultaneous winning of normal lip 3 and all small roles) A player who knows that "the CB winning a prize may win the first winning combination" feels that "there is a possibility that 14 cards will be paid out by pushing irregularly" Try to perform an irregular push. However, if the irregular push is executed during non-AT, a penalty is given, and the player suffers an unwilling disadvantage.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the player wins the first winning combination during the CB game at non-AT and RT3, the recommended push order (first left) is used as a preventive navigation effect in order to push forward. Stop). Specifically, a message such as “It's left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. A player is not given a penalty by recognizing the notification and pressing it forward. Further, as shown in FIG. 20 described later, the period of non-AT and RT3 is referred to as a “specific period”. During the specific period, a specific period flag is set in the RAM 91c.

  As described above, the normal navigation effect at the time of winning the CB is an effect that is executed during the AT, and when the first winning combination or the second winning combination is won, the 14 payout combination is won. This is an effect of notifying the order of pressing for making it happen. For example, in the case of winning a CB during ART, when the normal lip 2 and all the small roles are won simultaneously, the order of pushing to stop first is notified as a normal navigation effect. Specifically, a message such as “Medium!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The normal navigation effect may be executed with a low probability even during non-AT.

  On the other hand, the preventive navigation effect is an effect that is executed when the player wins the first winning combination in the non-AT and RT3 (specific period) when winning the CB, in order to push forward. This is an effect of notifying the pressing order (recommended pressing order). For example, in the case of a non-AT and a CB winning at RT3, as a preventive navigation effect, the order of pushing for the first left stop is notified. Specifically, a message such as “It's left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Even if the player wins the first winning combination by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the recommended pressing order notified in the prevention navigation effect when CB is won during RT3 and non-AT. , The 14-payout combination cannot be won, and the 15-payout combination is won and the CB ends.

  FIG. 16 shows the execution of the navigation effect during CB in RT3 when winning the first winning combination (simultaneous winning combination of normal lip 2 and all small combinations or simultaneous winning combination of normal lip 3 and all small combinations) It is a flowchart for performing a process. The sub-control unit 91 performs a normal navigation effect or a preventive navigation effect with a predetermined probability according to the AT state and the number of CB games when the first winning combination is won by executing the navigation effect execution process during CB. Run based on.

  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 navigation effect execution lottery is a lottery for specifying whether the normal navigation effect is executed, the prevention navigation effect is executed, or neither the normal navigation effect nor the prevention navigation effect is executed.

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

  In the CB navigation effect execution table, the execution probability of the normal 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 normal 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, neither the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 pieces nor the normal navigation effect for paying out 15 pieces is executed in both the CB 1 game and the 2nd game. Here, the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 pieces is an effect of notifying the push order for winning a strawberry on an effective line of only one 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. In addition, the normal navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is an effect of notifying the push order for simultaneously winning strawberries on two active 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 normal navigation effect is not executed in the CB1 game, the player usually performs the first left stop, and therefore, at the time of winning the first winning combination in which 14 payouts are not performed in the first left stop. The CB is completed in one game without paying out 14 sheets. 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.

  If it is non-AT, the normal navigation effect is not executed, but the prevention navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100%. As described above, since the prevention navigation effect is an effect of notifying the recommended pressing order, a message such as “It's left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Specifically, when the specific period flag is stored in the RAM 91c, the prevention navigation effect is executed when a CB winning is won and the first winning combination is won.

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

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

  Further, in the CB navigation effect execution table shown in FIG. 17, when the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game in the latent AT, the probability that the normal navigation effect of paying out 14 pieces will be executed, When the first winning combination is won in the CB1 game, the probability of executing the normal navigation effect of paying out 14 cards is 100% and the same probability. In addition, when the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game at the latent AT, and the probability that the normal navigation effect of paying out 15 pieces will be executed, and when the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game during AT The probability that the normal navigation effect of 15 payouts 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 normal 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 normal navigation effect is executed as a result of the lottery (S140). When it is determined that the normal navigation effect is not executed (NO in S140), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the prevention navigation effect is executed (S180). When it is determined not to execute the prevention navigation effect (NO in S180), the CB navigation effect execution process is terminated.

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

  Further, when it is determined that the prevention navigation effect is to be executed (YES in S180), sub control unit 91 executes the prevention navigation effect (S190), and ends the CB navigation effect execution process.

  In this embodiment, the normal navigation effect is executed after the AT return notification, but the AT return notification may be executed after the normal navigation effect is executed. The navigation effect and the AT return notification may be executed at the same time.

  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 normal navigation effect is executed without notifying the AT return (S170), and the CB navigation effect execution process is terminated.

  In the CB navigation effect execution process shown in FIG. 16, the prevention navigation effect is executed when the first winning combination is won in the non-AT and CB. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from pushing irregularly, and it is possible to prevent a penalty unintended for the player from being given. In the CB navigation effect execution process shown in FIG. 16, the prevention navigation effect is executed at RT3, and the prevention navigation effect is not executed at RT0 to 2. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the execution burden of the preventive navigation effect. In the CB navigation effect execution process shown in FIG. 16, there is a possibility that the prevention navigation effect is executed when the first winning combination is won, and the prevention navigation effect is not executed when the second winning combination is won. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the execution burden of the prevention navigation effect as compared to the case where the prevention navigation effect is executed when the second winning combination is won.

[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 between the control to CB, the winning of the first winning combination or the second winning combination, the execution of the normal navigation effect, the payout of the medals and the number of payouts. It is shown. As for the CB control in (A), it is shown that it rises ON when it is controlled by CB and falls OFF when it is not controlled by CB. In addition, regarding the winning of the first winning combination or the second winning combination in (B), it indicates that when the first winning combination or the second winning combination is won, the player wins from OFF to ON. In addition, regarding the execution of the normal navigation effect of (C), it indicates that it is turned ON if the normal navigation effect is being executed, and is turned OFF if the normal navigation effect is not being executed. Yes. In addition, regarding the payout of medals in (D), it indicates that when the medals are paid out, the medals rise 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. When the second winning combination is won in the CB1 game, since it is during AT, a normal navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed. When the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the pressing order according to the normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 normal 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 during the latent period, the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 cards when winning the first winning combination in the CB1 game in any state. Is executed, and 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 normal 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.

[An example of a timing chart regarding preventive navigation effects]
Next, a timing chart regarding the prevention navigation effect will be described with reference to FIG. (A) indicates that if it is controlled by the AT, it rises ON, and if it is controlled by the non-AT, it falls by OFF. (B) indicates that if it is controlled by RT3, it rises when it is ON, and if it is not RT3, it falls when it is OFF. (C) indicates that if it is controlled by RT1, it rises when it is ON, and if it is not RT1, it falls when it is OFF. (D) shows that if it is controlled by the CB game, it rises when it is ON, and if it is controlled by the CB game, it falls when it is OFF. (E) indicates that if the preventive navigation effect is executed, it will be turned on, and if the preventive navigation effect is not executed, it will be turned off.

  As shown in (A), if the AT termination condition is satisfied during ART, the control is made to be non-AT. Then, since the normal navigation effect is not executed, there is a case where the player falls down to RT1 when a missed outcome is derived at RT3 or a falling lip is awarded. As described above, the period that is non-AT and RT3 is referred to as a specific period. A period of falling from RT3 to RT1 and maintained at RT1 is referred to as a falling period.

  And as shown to (D), when a CB winning is carried out in a specific period, a prevention navigation effect is performed. By doing so, the player who knows that he has won the CB is prevented from pushing irregularly and is urged to push forward, so that an unintentional penalty is given to the player. Can be prevented.

  In addition, as described above, since the normal performance is executed regardless of the specific period or the fall period, it is understood from the effect contents whether the player is in the specific period or the fall period. In other words, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the RT state after the AT ends, and to improve the interest of the game. Note that the prevention navigation effect may be executed even during the fall period.

[Non-CB notification sound flag setting processing]
Next, the non-CB notification sound flag setting process among the processes performed on the sub-control unit 91 side will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart for executing the non-CB notification sound flag setting process. By executing the non-CB notification sound flag setting process, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a notification sound from the speakers 53 and 54 to notify that the bet number has been set when the bet number is set at the non-CB time. To set a notification sound flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. As shown in FIG. 21, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a BET command has been received from the main control unit 41 (S210). When determining that the BET command has not been received (NO in S210), the sub control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the BET command has been received (YES in S210), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the bet number based on the MAXBET operation has been set based on the information specified by the BET command (S215). ).

  When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the bet number based on the MAXBET operation is not set (NO in S215), the sub-control unit 91 determines that the bet number based on the 1BET operation is set, and displays the notification sound flag setting table in FIG. Based on this, the sound flag 1 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

  Here, the notification sound flag setting table of FIG. 24 will be described. The notification sound flag setting table is stored in the RAM 91c.

  In the notification sound flag setting table, information on the number of bets that can start one game corresponding to the gaming state (when CB, non-CB, at the time of replay winning), information on the set bets, and the number of bets operated this time , Information of the notification sound flag to be set, and information indicating the mode of the sound effect output from the speakers 53 and 54 are stored.

  First, if the current gaming state is non-CB, the number of bets that can start one game is “3”, and three medals correspond.

  When a 1-BET operation is performed in a state where the set bet number is “0” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 1 is set, and in this case, the sound effect “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. That is, since the set number of bets is “1”, a sound effect “Pip” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54. Further, when a MAXBET operation is performed in a state where the set bet number is “0” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 3 is set, and in this case, the sound effect “beep, beep, beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. Is output. In other words, since the set number of bets is “3”, the sound effect “Pip” is output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times.

  When a 1-BET operation is performed in a state where the set bet number is “1” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 1 is set. In this case, a sound effect of “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. That is, since the set number of bets is “1”, a sound effect “Pip” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54. Further, when a MAXBET operation is performed in a state where the set bet number is “1” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 2 is set, and in this case, the sound effect “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The That is, since the set number of bets is “2”, the sound effect “Pip” is output from the speakers 53 and 54 twice.

  When a 1-BET operation is performed in a state where the set bet number is “2” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 1 is set, and in this case, a sound effect “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. That is, since the set number of bets is “1”, a sound effect “Pip” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54. Further, when a MAXBET operation is performed with the set bet number being “2” at the time of non-CB, the sound flag 1 is set, and in this case, the sound effect “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. That is, since the set number of bets is “1”, a sound effect “Pip” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54.

  Next, if the current gaming state is CB, the number of bets that can start one game is “1”, and one medal corresponds.

  In the CB mode, the same sound flag 3 is set regardless of whether a 1BET operation or a MAXBET operation is performed. In this case, a sound effect of “pip, beep, beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. . Here, since the number of bets is normally “1” at the time of CB, the sound flag 1 is set and the sound effect “beep” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54 when the MAXBET operation is performed. Should be. However, in the present embodiment, even in a game where the number of bets is “1” and one game can be started as in the case of CB, the effect of “pick” so that the player does not know that it is in CB time. Sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times. In this way, as in the case of non-CB when the bet number is “3” and one game can be started, the sound effect “Pip” is output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times even in non-CB. It is possible to prevent the player from discriminating which gaming state is based on the notification that the bet number has been set.

  In addition, since the sound effect “beep” is output three times from the speakers 53 and 54 when a 1-BET operation is performed during CB, a 1-BET operation is performed for a player who normally plays a slot machine. Sometimes, the user may feel uncomfortable with the output of the sound effect “beep”. Here, in the present embodiment, a common effect is executed between CB and non-CB, and the player determines whether the game currently being played is a non-CB game or a CB game. It is difficult to distinguish. However, when a 1-BET operation is performed as described above, a sound effect of “pip, pip, pip” is output, so that a player who is playing a slot machine from a normal time can play a game that is currently playing CB You can suggest that it is a game of time. In other words, if the player is normally playing a slot machine, a sound effect “Pip, Pip, Pip” is output when a 1-BET operation is performed, so that the game currently being played is a CB game. You can know that. In this way, for example, in a slot machine with a credit function, when there is only 1 credit, a 1 BET operation is performed on the way home, and if a sound effect of “Pip, Pip, Pip” is output, CB Sometimes you can see that you are moving, and you can motivate to continue the game that you wanted to quit.

  Next, when a replay is won in the previous game, the number of bets that can start one game is automatically set without using a medal regardless of whether the game is non-CB or CB.

  At the time of replay winning, the sound flag 3 is set. In this case, a sound effect of “pip, beep, beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54. In this way, even when the replay is won, the same sound flag 3 is set as when the number of bets is set based on the BET operation by the player at the time of non-CB or CB, and the sound effect of “beep” is produced by the speakers 53 and 54. Is output three times. In this way, when the replay is won and when the MAXBET operation is performed at the time of non-CB or CB, notification is made that the number of bets that can start one game in the same manner is set. . As a result, the notification mode is not changed according to the opportunity for setting the number of bets at which one game can be started, so that the processing burden can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the replay is not won at the time of CB, but even if a replay is won at the time of CB or a game state that can be played with 1 BET other than at the time of CB is provided. When winning a prize, not the sound flag 1 but the sound flag 3 may be set, and a sound effect of “beep” may be output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times. In this case, in the conventional case, when a replay is won in a game where the bet number is “1”, the sound flag 1 is set and a sound effect “Pip” is output once from the speakers 53 and 54, and the bet number is “ When a replay is won in the game of “3”, the sound flag 3 is set, and a sound effect of “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times. Accordingly, the notification mode of the speakers 53 and 54 has been changed. However, in the present embodiment, the sound flag 3 is always set at the time of replay winning regardless of the number of bets that can start the game, and the sound effect of “beep” is output from the speakers 53 and 54 three times. Therefore, the notification mode is not changed according to the number of bets, and the processing burden can be reduced accordingly.

  Returning to FIG. 21, when the sub-control unit 91 determines in the process of S215 that the bet number based on the MAXBET operation has been set (YES in S215), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the bet number has been set to “1”. (S225). When determining that the bet number has been set to “1” (YES in S225), the sub control unit 91 sets the sound flag 2 in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the notification sound flag setting table. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the bet number is not set to “1” (NO in S225), the sub control unit 91 determines whether the bet number is set to “2” (S235). When determining that the bet number has been set to “2” (YES in S235), the sub control unit 91 sets the sound flag 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the notification sound flag setting table. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that the bet number is not set to “2” (NO in S235), the sub-control unit 91 sets the sound flag 3 in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the notification sound flag setting table (S245). . Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

[CB notification sound flag setting processing]
Next, the CB notification sound flag setting process among the processes performed on the sub-control unit 91 side will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart for executing the CB notification sound flag setting process. The sub-control unit 91 outputs a notification sound from the speakers 53 and 54 to notify that the bet number has been set when the bet number is set at the time of CB by executing the CB time notification sound flag setting process. Is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c.

  As shown in FIG. 22, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a BET command has been received from the main control unit 41 (S310). When determining that the BET command has not been received (NO in S310), the sub control unit 91 ends the CB notification sound flag setting process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the BET command has been received (YES in S310), the sub control unit 91 sets the sound flag 3 in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the notification sound flag setting table. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the CB notification sound flag setting process.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the sound flag 3 is set even in a game where the number of bets is “1” and one game can be started as in CB, so that the bet number is set. Thus, it is possible to prevent the player from discriminating whether the game currently being played is a non-CB game or a CB game.

[Replay winning notification sound flag setting process]
Next, of the processes performed on the sub-control unit 91 side, the replay winning notification sound flag setting process will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart for executing a replay winning notification sound flag setting process. By executing the replay winning notification sound flag setting process, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a notification sound from the speakers 53 and 54 when the betting number is automatically set at the time of the replay winning, and the fact that the betting number is set. Is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c.

  As shown in FIG. 23, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a winning determination command is received from the main control unit 41 (S410). When determining that the winning determination command has not been received (NO in S410), the sub-control unit 91 ends the replay winning notification sound flag setting process. Note that the command for determining whether or not it is received in S410 may be a BET command. In addition, the BET command adds discrimination information that can identify whether the BET is a BET that is made by a player performing a BET operation or a BET that is made by winning a replay. Then, by judging the discrimination information, it can be judged whether or not a replay prize has been won.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning determination command has been received (YES in S410), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a replay winning is made from information specified by the winning determination command (S415). When the sub-control unit 91 determines that no replay winning has been made (NO in S415), the replay winning notification sound flag setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that a replay prize has been won (YES in S415), the sub-control unit 91 sets the sound flag 3 in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the notification sound flag setting table (S420). Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the non-CB notification sound flag setting process.

  Here, the sound flag 1 is set when the replay is won in the game when the bet number is “1”, and the sound flag 3 is set when the replay is won in the game when the bet number is “3”. In addition, the notification sound flag should be set differently so that the notification mode of the speakers 53 and 54 changes according to the number of bets that can be started when the game is replayed. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the sound flag 3 is always set at the time of replay winning regardless of the bet number at which the game can be started. Without changing the notification mode, the processing burden can be reduced. In this embodiment, replay is not won at CB, but if replay is won at CB, or if a game state that can be played with 1 BET other than at CB is provided, FIG. The process shown in FIG.

[Bet number setting notification process]
Next, among the processes performed on the sub-control unit 91 side, the betting number setting notification process will be described. The sub-control unit 91 outputs a notification sound from the speakers 53 and 54 based on the notification sound flag set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c by executing the betting number setting notification process.

  More specifically, if the notification sound flag set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c is the sound flag 1, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a sound effect “beep” from the speakers 53 and 54. If the notification sound flag set in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c is the sound flag 2, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a sound effect “beep” from the speakers 53 and 54. Further, if the notification sound flag set in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c is the sound flag 3, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a sound effect “beep, beep, beep” from the speakers 53 and 54.

[Example of betting number setting notification]
Next, referring to FIG. 25, the bet number setting notification mode by 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16 based on the bet number setting lighting process executed by the main control unit 41 of the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment, and the sub control unit 91 The bet number setting notification mode by the liquid crystal display 51 based on the bet number setting display process executed by the player and the bet number setting notification mode by the speakers 53 and 54 based on the bet number setting notification process performed by the sub-control unit 91. An example will be described.

  FIG. 25A shows an example of setting a bet amount based on the MAXBET operation when a bet amount is not set at the time of non-CB. As shown in FIG. 25 (a), when a MAXBET operation is performed when the number of bets is not set during non-CB, all of the 1 to 3 BET LEDs 14 to 16 are lit. All of the three star-shaped mark images 65a, 65b, and 65c displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 are changed from white display to black display. Further, three sound effects “Pip” are output from the speakers 53 and 54 as “Pip, Pip, Pip”.

  Next, FIG. 25B shows an example of setting the bet amount based on the MAXBET operation when the bet number is not set at the time of CB. As shown in FIG. 25 (b), if a MAXBET operation is performed when the number of bets is not set during CB, only 1BETLED14 of 1 to 3BETLEDs 14 to 16 is lit. Of the three star mark images 65a, 65b, 65c displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, only one star mark image 65a is changed from white display to black display. Further, three sound effects “Pip” are output from the speakers 53 and 54 as “Pip, Pip, Pip”. In this way, at CB time, 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16 and three star mark images 65a, 65b and 65c inform the player of the original number of bets at CB time, and the speakers 53 and 54 The bet number is notified in the same manner as in non-CB as if 3 bets are required to start the bet.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (b), in this embodiment, the star mark image 65a is changed from black display to white display one second after the end of one game, and then one second later ( 2 seconds after the end of one game), the lit 1BETLED 14 is turned off. Here, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 has better visibility for the player than the 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16, and therefore the 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16 that inform the player of the number of bets at the time of the original CB and the liquid crystal display With the three star-shaped mark images 65a, 65b, 65c displayed on the screen of the display 51, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 with better visibility is restored (that is, the image of the star-shaped mark). 65a is returned from black display to white display). As a result, the time for the player to check the images 65a, 65b, 65c of the three star marks on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 with good visibility can be shortened as much as possible. It can be made difficult for the player to determine which gaming state the player is in.

  Next, FIG. 25 (c) shows an example when the automatic bet number is set when the bet number is not set at the time of replay winning. As shown in FIG. 25 (c), when the betting number is automatically set at the time of replay winning, all the 1 to 3 BETLEDs 14 to 16 are turned on. All of the three star-shaped mark images 65a, 65b, and 65c displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 are changed from white display to black display. Further, three sound effects “Pip” are output from the speakers 53 and 54 as “Pip, Pip, Pip”.

  As described above, as shown in FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b), even if the number of bets at which one game can be started differs between CB and non-CB, the speakers 53 and 54 indicate “pip”. Is notified that the number of bets has been set in the same manner so that three sound effects are output as “Beep, Beep, Beep”. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from discriminating which gaming state is based on the notification that the bet number has been set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25C, when the bet number is set without using a medal at the time of replay winning, three sound effects “Pip” are output from the speakers 53 and 54. , “Beep,” “beep” is output so that the bet amount is set in the same manner as in the non-CB mode shown in FIG. 25A or the CB mode shown in FIG. Therefore, the notification mode is not changed according to the number of bets, and the processing burden can be reduced accordingly.

[About other effects during CB]
Next, other effects during CB will be described. FIG. 26 shows a processing flow of the first normal navigation effect. First normal navigation Starring Demi line treatment is performed in the timer interrupt processing of the sub-controller 91 side is performed when is in AT. As shown in FIG. 26, the sub control unit 91 identifies the result of the internal lottery from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41, and determines whether or not the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 has been won (Sv1). ). If the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is not won, the process is terminated. When the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won, a lip winning flag indicating that the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sv2). Here, when the normal lip 2 is won, the lip winning flag corresponding to the normal lip 2 is set in the RAM 91c, and when the normal lip 3 is won, the lip winning flag corresponding to the normal lip 3 is stored in the RAM 91c. Set.

  Next, a winning result suggesting that the 14-payout winning combination can be won (see FIG. 11) (that is, it is allowed that the symbol combination constituting the 14-paying payout can be stopped on the winning line). The suggestion screen is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 (Sv3).

  On the winning result suggestion screen, for example, an image indicating that the 14 paying out combination can be won and an image indicating that the winning result other than that (that is, 15 paying out winning combination) is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. . Thus, by displaying a plurality of winning results, it is possible to indicate that the 14-payout winning combination is one of the winning result candidates, and it can be suggested that the 14-paying winning combination can win.

  Next, the second normal navigation effect execution process will be described with reference to FIG. The second normal navigation effect execution process is executed after the first normal navigation effect execution process is executed. First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the Lip winning flag is set in Sv2 of FIG. 26 (Sy1). If the rep winning flag is not set, the process is terminated. If the rep winning flag is set, it is determined whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the specific push order based on the reel stop command received from the main control unit 41 (Sy2). In Sy2, when the normal lip 2 rip winning flag is set, it is determined whether or not the first lip winning flag is set. It is determined whether or not it has been stopped (see FIG. 11). When it is determined that the operation is performed in the specific pushing order, the winning possibility of the 14 paying out combination is higher than the winning result suggesting screen (in this embodiment, it is notified that the 14 paying out winning combination can be won). Is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 (Sy3). Next, the Lip winning flag is cleared and the process is terminated (Sy5).

  If the stop switch 8C is pressed first so that, for example, the normal lip 2 is won during the CB and the first stop is made during the CB, the 14-paying-out combination can be won and the prize is won. The symbol “strawberry” stops on the line LN (see FIG. 12), but when the stop switch 8C is pressed first so that the normal lip 3 is won and the first stop is made. The symbol “strawberry” stops on the winning line LN as a payout of 15 cards (see FIG. 12). However, since the player can recognize that the 14-payout combination can be won on the winning result confirmation screen, the winning can be obtained by arranging the 14-payout combination.

  On the winning result confirmation screen, for example, only an image indicating that a 14-paying combination can be won is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, on the winning result suggestion screen, for example, an image indicating that the 14 payout combination can be won and an image indicating other winning results are displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. Therefore, it is possible to suggest that the winning result confirmation screen is more likely to win a 14-payout combination than the winning result suggestion screen displaying a plurality of winning candidates. In the present embodiment, only the image indicating that the 14-payout winning combination can be won is displayed to notify that the 14-paying winning combination is surely won. Note that the player recognizes that the CB of the second game can also play a game by viewing an image indicating that the 14-payout combination can be won.

  On the other hand, if the operation is not performed in the specific push order, the push order corresponding screen corresponding to the push order is displayed without executing the process of shifting from the win result suggestion screen to the win result confirmation screen as the second normal navigation effect. (Sy4). In this example, the push order correspondence screen is a screen for informing that the 15 payout combination wins. Next, the Lip winning flag is cleared and the process is terminated (Sy5).

  Further, the screen displayed in Sy4 may be a background screen instead of the push order corresponding screen. The background screen is a screen that is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the winning result suggesting screen or the winning result confirmation screen is not displayed, and is a screen that is displayed when an effect is not executed during the game. As the background screen, for example, an image in which a character is walking against a predetermined landscape is displayed.

  As described above, if the player operates in the specific pressing order corresponding to the selected normal lip, the 14-payout winning combination wins. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, it is suggested that the 14 paying out combination can be won, and when operated in a specific push order, the winning result finalizing screen indicates that the 14 paying out combination is highly likely to be won (that is, Therefore, there is no contradiction between the winning result (ie, the derived display result) shown in the production (ie, display of each image) and the actual winning result. .

  The screen corresponding to the push order or the background screen is displayed at the end of the game displaying the screen (that is, at the third stop), at the second stop, at the start switch operation in the next game, at the BET operation, or at the end of the penalty It may be erased at an appropriate timing such as time.

  Next, FIG. 28 shows a specific example of the control of FIG. 26 and FIG. The screen shown in FIG. 28 (1) is a winning result suggesting screen, the screen shown in FIG. 28 (2) is a winning result confirmation screen, the screen shown in FIG. 28 (3-1) is a push order correspondence screen, The screen shown in FIG. 28 (3-2) is the background screen. Further, the control for displaying any one of the screens shown in FIG. 28 (3-1) or (3-2) is also referred to as special control.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (1), when the player operates the start switch 7 after betting a medal and wins the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 in the CB, a winning result suggestion screen is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. Is done. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, a character indicating that the 14 paying out combination wins and a character indicating that the 15 paying out winning combination is displayed. From the state shown in FIG. 28 (1), when a specific pressing order corresponding to the selected normal lip 2 or 3 is operated, the state shifts to the state shown in FIG. 28 (2).

  As shown in FIG. 28 (2), for example, when the operation is performed in the specific push order, the winning result determination screen is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. In this specific example, a character indicating that a 14-payout winning combination wins is displayed on the winning result confirmation screen. As a result, it is notified that the 14-payout combination wins. At this time, since the operation is performed in the specific pushing order, the 14 paying out winning combination wins. Therefore, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the production and the actual winning result.

  Next, there are two types of processing shown in FIG. 28 (3-1) or (3-2) as processing to be shifted from the state of FIG. 28 (1) when the player operates in a pressing order other than the specific pressing order. The processing will be described as an example. The two types of processing shown in FIG. 28 (3-1) or (3-2) may all be executed by one type of slot machine, or any one of preset processing (only one processing or a plurality of processing) Any of them may be executed.

  In the process shown in FIG. 28 (3-1), only the image corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch is displayed, and characters indicating that the 15 payout combination wins are displayed. As a result, it is notified that the 15 payout combination wins. In this example, the same processing as in FIG. 28 (2) is performed, but if the player operates the stop switch in a pressing order other than the specific pressing order, the 14 winning combinations will not win, so the winning results shown in the production and the actual winnings are shown. There is no contradiction between the results.

  In the process shown in FIG. 28 (3-2), the display is switched to the display of the background screen that is displayed when the effect is not executed during the game. In this specific example, a background screen in which a character is walking in the desert is displayed. In this example, since the background screen is displayed and the winning result is not notified on the background screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the production and the actual winning result. Further, since the image selection process is not performed as in FIG. 28 (3-1), which performs the same process as in the example of FIG. 28 (2), the amount of programs can be reduced, and the image display process becomes complicated. Can be prevented.

  In the example of FIG. 28, as a first effect, a character indicating that a 14-payout winning combination wins and a character indicating that the other winning combination (15 paying-out winning combination) wins are displayed. Although the example of displaying only the characters of the 14 paying out combination as the effect and confirming the winning of the 14 paying out combination is given, it is suggested that any of the plurality of winning combinations wins as the first effect. By suggesting fewer winning combinations than the number of winning combinations suggested in the first effect in the second effect as candidates for winning, it is suggested that the second display is more likely to derive a predetermined display result than the first effect. Is possible.

[Effects of the present embodiment]
Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.

  (1) According to the present embodiment, a penalty is given by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the recommended push order during non-AT. In addition, when the first winning combination (normal lip 2 or normal lip 3) is won during CB, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in a pressing order other than the recommended pressing order, a 14-payout winning combination is won. Then, while the CB of the second game can be played, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the recommended pressing order, the 15 payout combination wins and the CB ends. Therefore, when the first winning combination (normal lip 2 or normal lip 3) is won during the CB, operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in a pressing order other than the recommended pressing order will stop in the recommended pressing order. It is more advantageous for the player than operating 8L, 8C, 8R. On the other hand, when the first winning combination is won in the CB during the specific period, the recommended operation procedure is notified as a preventive navigation effect. Therefore, even in CB, a player who recognizes the notification of the recommended operation procedure may be given an unwilling penalty by operating with the recommended operation procedure (for example, the message “It's left!”) Instead of the specific operation procedure. Can be prevented and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, since the lottery target role and the probability of winning the lottery target role are the same between the game before the CB winning and the game during the CB, the lottery target role and the lottery target role are the same before the CB winning and the game during the CB. The processing burden can be reduced compared with the case where the probability of winning is not the same.

  (2) According to the present embodiment, when the first winning combination (normal lip 2 or normal lip 3) is won during the CB, the 14 payout combination wins and the CB of the second game can be played. Therefore, when a CB is won in RT3 that can be determined as the first winning combination that is not determined in RT0-2, there are more opportunities for the player to have a higher advantage than 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.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when the first winning combination is won at the time of CB, the specific push order is always notified regardless of whether the AT is continued or controlled at the time of the latent AT (see FIG. 17). Therefore, regardless of whether the AT is continued or controlled at the time of the latent AT, the player can derive a payout combination of 14 in the CB1 game, and can play the CB in the second game. it can. 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 second winning combination is won at the time of CB, a predetermined navigation effect is always executed when AT, while a predetermined navigation effect is not executed when AT is latent (see FIG. 17). . For this reason, when the number of AT remaining games becomes 0, it is possible to prevent the player from specifying whether the AT is a latent AT or a period in which the AT does not return. Since the advantage is the same regardless of the operation procedure, it is possible to prevent a difference in the advantage between when the AT is continued and when controlled by the latent AT. Can be improved.

  (4) In the present embodiment, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine which gaming state the player is in by playing a common effect between CB and non-CB. Even if the number of bets at which one game can be started is different between CB and non-CB, a notification is made that the number of bets at which one game can be started in the same mode is set when a MAXBET operation is performed. The Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from discriminating which gaming state is informed by the notification that the bet amount has been set. Furthermore, since the notification mode is not changed according to the number of bets, the processing burden can be reduced. In addition, when the replay is won and when a MAXBET operation is performed in CB or non-CB, a notification that the number of bets that can start one game in the same manner is set is notified. As a result, the notification mode is not changed according to the opportunity for setting the number of bets at which one game can be started, so that the processing burden can be reduced.

  (5) Also, in the present embodiment, when a CB is won during AT and the first winning combination is won, a winning result suggestion screen in which a 14-paying or 15-paying winning combination may be won. (Screen (1) in FIG. 28) is displayed. Then, for example, when the normal lip 2 is won during the CB and the first stop is made during the CB, a winning result confirmation screen (screen (2) in FIG. 28) for confirming that the 14 paying out winning combination is won is displayed. On the other hand, when the first left stop or the first right stop is performed, a push order correspondence screen is displayed (screen (3-1) in FIG. 28). Therefore, it is possible to prevent inconsistency between the content of the notified display result and the actual display result.

[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.

[Variation of prevention navigation production]
(1) In this embodiment, it has been described that the recommended push order is notified as the prevention navigation effect, but the information notified by the prevention navigation effect is not limited to this. The prevention navigation effect of the first modification will be described below. The slot machine for executing the prevention navigation effect of the first modification differs from the slot machine of the present embodiment in the symbol arrangement and winning combination shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. A slot machine comprising: Further, the winning combination at the time of CB of the slot machine is the same as in FIG. The slot machine has a specific combination, and when the specific combination is won, operating the stop switch in the recommended pressing order is higher than operating the stop switch in a pressing order other than the recommended pressing order. The specific combination wins with a probability. And the information which the prevention navigation production | presentation of a 1st modification alert | reports is information which can specify that the said specific combination was elected. Thereby, the player can prevent the irregular pressing by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the recommended pressing order by grasping that the specific combination is won.

  A specific example of the slot machine will be described. The symbol arrangement and winning combination of the slot machine are not as described above but are as follows. As the specific combination, a plurality of types of small combinations are set. Specifically, the specific role is “cherry-cherry-any” where the winning symbol combination is “Cherry-cherry-any” where “watermelon-watermelon-any” is the winning combination of watermelon, “Belle-bell-any” It is a bell role that is a combination of winning symbols. When a winning combination of a cherry role, a watermelon role, or a bell role is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  As a reel symbol arrangement in the modification, the left reel 2L has a plurality of symbols arranged so that there are places where all of the cherry symbol, the watermelon symbol, and the bell symbol are arranged within five frames. Has been. On the other hand, in the middle reel 2C, a plurality of symbols are arranged so that each of the cherry symbol, the watermelon symbol, and the bell symbol is arranged 5 or more frames apart. For this reason, even if it is not possible to determine whether the role of cherry, watermelon, or bell is won, all the cherry, watermelon, and bell symbols on the left reel are placed within 5 frames. By making the first stop aiming at the first symbol of the location, it is possible to stop the symbols that make up the winning combination on the winning line, thereby identifying the type of the winning combination It becomes. On the other hand, when the middle reel is stopped for the first time, there is no timing at which all of the cherry symbol, watermelon symbol, and bell symbol can be drawn on the winning line. Can not. Note that any symbol arrangement may be used for the right reel 2R.

  In such a premise slot machine, regardless of whether or not it is in AT, when winning either the cherry role, watermelon role, or bell role, A message such as “You may have won!” Is displayed. The message is information indicating that there is a possibility that the specific combination (any of the combination of cherry, watermelon, and bell) may be won. Accordingly, for a player who understands that the type of the winning combination can be specified by first stopping the left reel at a specific timing, the left reel 2L is first stopped at the specific timing. Can do.

  A case of a game controlled by CB will be described. As described above, when the CB is controlled, all the small roles are won simultaneously, but in this example, all the small roles including the cherry role, the watermelon role and the bell role are simultaneously won. In this case, as a prevention navigation effect of the modified example, a message such as “Any one of cherry, watermelon, or bell may have won!” Is displayed. The player who has recognized the message can first stop the left reel at a specific timing in order to cause the left reel 2L to derive one of the cherry symbol, the watermelon symbol, and the bell symbol. In this way, the notification of the message can prompt the player to perform the first left stop (that is, forward pressing). In the CB, the number of medals to be paid out is 15 regardless of the small role including the cherry role, the watermelon role, and the bell role.

  (2) A slot machine having the following configuration may be used. The slot machine has a single cherry combination in which “Cerry-any-any” is a combination of winning symbols as a specific combination (small combination). Normally, when the single cherry winning is notified, the player is very likely to first stop the left reel 2L in which the single cherry winning is confirmed. And in the game controlled by CB, all the small roles including a single cherry combination win simultaneously. As for the symbol arrangement of the left reel 2L, it is assumed that the cherry symbol can be derived by operating the stop switch 8L at a specific timing. In this case, a message such as “Single cherry!” Is displayed as the prevention navigation effect of the modification. The player who has recognized the message performs the first left stop to cause the left reel 2L to derive the cherry symbol. Accordingly, the notification of the message can prompt the player to make the first left stop (that is, push forward).

  Further, in the description of (1) or (2), an example has been described in which the player can always win the winning combination by first stopping to the left. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the slot machine configured to win a specific role with a higher probability than when the first left stop is the first middle stop or right first stop, You may make it alert | report that the said specific combination was elected.

(3) A slot machine having the following configuration may be used. The combination of symbols and symbols of the slot machine is as follows.
Cherry as a left cherry ... Cherry a-Any
Middle cherry role ... cherry b-cherry b-any
Right cherry role ... any-cherry c-cherry c
Watermelon left ... watermelon a-watermelon a-any
Watermelon role ... Watermelon b-Watermelon b-any
Right watermelon role ... any-watermelon c-watermelon c
The slot machine (3) has the following reel arrangement. In the case of the first left stop, the cherry a or the watermelon a can be pulled in. However, in the case of the first middle stop, there is no common stop operation timing at which the cherry a or the watermelon a can be pulled in. In addition, the cherry b or the watermelon b can be pulled in when the middle first stop is performed, but there is no common stop operation timing at which the cherry b or the watermelon b can be pulled in when the first left stop is performed. Further, when the first stop is on the right, the cherry c or the watermelon c can be pulled in. However, when the first stop is on the middle, there is no common stop operation timing at which the cherry c or the watermelon c can be pulled in.

  Further, in the slot machine of (3), regardless of whether the push order notified by the prevention navigation effect of (3) is the recommended push order or the irregular push order, the stop switch 8L, Even if 8C and 8R are operated, no penalty is given.

  When such a reel arrangement is made and a CB is won during a specific period and, for example, the normal lip 2 is won, as a prevention effect of the modification, “right cherry or right A message such as "It's a watermelon!" Since the player who has recognized the notification performs the right first stop in a reflective manner, it is possible to prevent an unintentional penalty from being given. When a CB is won during a specific period and the normal lip 3 is won, a message such as “It is a left cherry! Or a right watermelon!” Is notified as a preventive effect of the modification. Since the player who has recognized the notification performs the first left stop in a reflective manner, an unintentional penalty can be prevented. As described above, the prevention effect is limited to the effect of notifying the information for stopping the first left as long as the effect is to notify the operation procedure different from the specific operation procedure for avoiding the penalty and deriving an advantageous display result. is not.

  In addition, in (1) to (3) above, information that can specify that the specific role has been won is not limited to messages such as “cherry or watermelon or bell!” Or “cherry!”. It may be a character to recall. Further, “Cherry or Watermelon or Bell!” Or “Cherry!” May be output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  (4) The information notified by the preventive navigation effect is information that can identify the recommended push order in this embodiment, and in the modified examples (1) and (2), winning with a high probability by operating in the recommended push order. It was explained that the information can identify that the winning combination that can be made is elected. However, the information notified by the preventive navigation effect is not limited to this. For example, in the case of winning a CB, as a preventive navigation effect of the second modified example, for example, a warning message such as “Penalty when irregularly pressed!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, so that the player is irregularly pressed. Don't let the result be pushed forward as a result. Further, any effect may be used as long as it can be notified that “the penalty is given by pressing the anomaly”.

  (5) Moreover, the following slot machines may be used. In the slot machine of (5), regardless of whether the pushing order notified by the prevention navigation effect of (3) is the recommended pushing order or the irregular pushing order, the stop switches 8L, 8C, Even if 8R is operated, no penalty is given. Further, a pressing order other than the specific pressing order and the recommended pressing order corresponding to the first winning combination won during CB is referred to as “special pressing order”. For example, when the normal lip 2 is won during CB, the specific pressing order is “middle first stop” and the recommended pressing order is “left first stop”, so the special pressing order is “right first 1”. Stop ".

  In the slot machine having such a configuration, when a CB winning is made during a specific period, the special push order may be notified. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the 14-paying combination from winning. As described above, the specific period is also a period in which the normal effect is being executed, but by not allowing the 14 payouts to win, the difference between the advantage and the degree during the AT (the period in which the advantageous effect is being executed) can be obtained. It can be provided, and an interesting interest can be improved.

  (6) In the present embodiment, the information notified in the prevention navigation effect is described as the recommended push order. However, the information is not limited to this, and the information notified in the prevention navigation effect is the recommended push order. Any information may be used as long as the information can be specified. For example, the recommended pressing order may be notified by displaying a predetermined character on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the recommended pressing order may be notified not by the liquid crystal display 51 but by other means (for example, the effect effect LED 52, the reel LED 55, and the speakers 53, 54).

[RT for which prevention navigation effects are executed]
In FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the first winning combination (normal lip 2 or normal lip 3) with the possibility of winning 14 sheets is won only at RT3, and is not won at RT0-2. However, it is not limited to this. As a modification of FIGS. 10 and 11, when RT0 to RT2, normal lip 2 or normal lip 3 is won with a low probability (for example, the number of determination values is “1”, “2”, etc.). May be. Here, it is preferable that the probability of winning the first winning combination in RT3 is higher than the probability of winning the first winning combination in RT0-2. Thereby, since the probability of winning the first winning combination is increased by shifting to RT3, the interest of the game can be improved. Also, in the case of the modified examples of FIGS. 10 and 11, as in the case of the above-described embodiment, “the lottery target role” and “the lottery target role for each RT state” of the game before CB winning and the game in the CB The probability of winning (number of determination values) is the same, and in particular, the determination numerical values of normal lip 2 or normal lip 3 are also the same.

[About table]
In the following description, RT0 to RT2 are referred to as a normal gaming state, and RT3 is referred to as an advantageous gaming state. The slot machine of the present embodiment has four types of "non-CB in the normal gaming state", "CB in the normal gaming state", "non-CB in the advantageous gaming state", and "CB in the advantageous gaming state". It has a state. The slot machine according to the present embodiment has been described as holding the non-CB time table shown in FIG. 10 and the CB time table shown in FIG. 11 separately. That is, the slot machine of the present embodiment has a non-CB time table table for “non-CB in the normal gaming state” and “non-CB in the advantageous gaming state”, and “CB in the normal gaming state” and “advantageous”. Two table tables including a CB time table table for “CB in gaming state” are provided.

  As a modification, the following configuration may be used. In the CB generated during the normal gaming state, the control that does not win the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 in the normal gaming state is taken over as it is, and is controlled by the CB. The CB generated during the advantageous gaming state is in the advantageous gaming state. The control for determining the specific determination result at the rate is taken over as it is to control the special gaming state. According to such a configuration, in the special gaming state, the control that does not determine the specific determination result in the normal gaming state according to the gaming state at the time of occurrence or the control that determines the specific determination result at the ratio in the advantageous gaming state is taken over as it is. Therefore, the processing load can be reduced as compared with the case where the special control state is not taken over as it is. In addition, the capacity of the table to be held can be reduced.

  Here, “controls to the special gaming state by taking over control that does not determine the specific determination result in the normal gaming state as it is” means that the specific result is not determined in the special gaming state as in the normal gaming state. Is to control. In addition, “to take over the control for determining the specific determination result at the rate in the advantageous gaming state as it is and control it to the special gaming state” means “to determine the specific determination result in the advantageous gaming state, even in the special gaming state. The specific determination result is determined.

  Further, in the case of “RT 0 to 2 where normal lip 2 or normal lip 3 is won with low probability when RT is 0 to 2” described in “RT for which prevention navigation effect is executed” is as follows. It may be. In the CB generated during the normal gaming state, the control for determining the specific determination result at the ratio in the normal gaming state is taken over as it is to control the special gaming state. In the CB generated during the advantageous gaming state, the ratio in the advantageous gaming state Then, the control for determining the specific determination result is taken over as it is to control to the special gaming state. According to such a configuration, in the special gaming state, the control that does not determine the specific determination result in the normal gaming state according to the gaming state at the time of occurrence or the control that determines the specific determination result at the ratio in the advantageous gaming state is taken over as it is. Therefore, the processing load can be reduced as compared with the case where the special control state is not taken over as it is. In addition, the capacity of the table to be held can be reduced.

  Here, “controls to the special gaming state by taking over control that does not determine the specific determination result in the normal gaming state as it is” means that the specific result is not determined in the special gaming state as in the normal gaming state. Is to control. In addition, “to take over the control for determining the specific determination result at the rate in the advantageous gaming state as it is and control it to the special gaming state” means “to determine the specific determination result in the advantageous gaming state, even in the special gaming state. The specific determination result is determined.

  In addition, a table is maintained in each of the four states of “non-CB in normal gaming state”, “CB in normal gaming state”, “non-CB in advantageous gaming state”, and “CB in advantageous gaming state”. You may make it do. In addition, the four states of “non-CB in normal gaming state”, “CB in normal gaming state”, “non-CB in advantageous gaming state”, and “CB in advantageous gaming state” are grouped into 2 or 3 groups. Separately, a table corresponding to each group may be held.

  Also, in FIG. 16 of the present embodiment, it has been described that the prevention navigation effect is executed at RT3, and the prevention navigation effect is not executed at RT0 to 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of the modification of FIG. 11, when the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won during the CB in the case of non-AT and RT other than RT3 (for example, RT1), the prevention navigation effect is executed. You may make it do. According to such a configuration, since the prevention navigation effect is executed in any RT, it is possible to prevent the player from specifying the RT state. Further, since the prevention navigation effect is executed in any RT, it is possible to prevent a penalty from being irregularly pressed in any RT state.

[About the winning role in which preventive navigation production is performed]
In the example of FIG. 16, when the first winning combination (normal lip 2 or normal lip 3 in CB) is won during CB, the prevention navigation effect is executed, and the second winning combination (normal lip 2 in CB) is executed. In the case where the normal lip 3) is selected, the prevention navigation effect is not executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the second winning combination is won, the prevention navigation effect may be executable as in the case where the first winning combination is won. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from specifying whether the winning combination is the first winning combination or the second winning combination in the CB.

[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 as long as the first winning combination and the second winning combination exist as the winning combination. 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, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, control may be made so as to end with payout of 30 or 45 medals. 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.) It is preferable that a normal navigation effect is easily performed during the 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.

[Regarding the normal navigation production lottery]
In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that it is determined whether or not the normal navigation effect is to be executed based on the information of the normal 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 normal navigation effect execution probability. For example, in the present embodiment, the normal navigation effect execution probability is set to 0% so that no normal navigation effect is performed at the time of non-AT. A normal navigation effect may be executed based on the probability. In addition, it is more preferable that the probability is set so that the normal navigation effect is executed more when the AT or the latent AT is controlled.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29, the normal lip 2 and the normal lip 3 may be won and the normal navigation effect may be executed even at RT2. FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining a normal navigation effect execution table during CB in a modified example.

  As shown in FIG. 29, at RT2, if it is non-AT, the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 pieces and the normal navigation effect for paying out 15 pieces are not executed in both the CB1 game and the second game. It has become. Further, the prevention navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100%.

  In the case of AT, if the first winning combination is won for the CB1 game, the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and 15 cards are paid out with a probability of 50%. Normal navigation effects are executed. In the case of the CB2 game when the first winning combination is won, a normal navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 50%, and a normal navigation effect for paying out 15 cards with a probability of 50%. Executed.

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

  At RT3, if it is non-AT, neither the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 sheets nor the normal navigation effect for paying out 15 sheets is executed in both the CB1 game and the second game. Further, the prevention navigation effect is executed with a probability of 100%.

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

  If the AT is a latent AT, the normal navigation effect for paying out 14 cards is executed with a probability of 100% in the case of the CB1 game when winning the first winning combination, and normal navigation for paying out 15 cards. Production is not executed. When the first winning combination is won in the CB2 game, the normal navigation effect for paying out 15 cards is executed with a probability of 100%, and the normal 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 normal navigation effect may be executed, and the normal 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 the CB, when the normal lip 2 or the normal lip 3 is won, the normal 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.

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

[Recommended pressing order]
In the present embodiment, the recommended pressing order is the first left stop, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the recommended pressing order may be the middle first stop or the right first stop. In this case, when winning the first winning combination, it is necessary to adopt a configuration in which the payout combination of 14 sheets is won by the first stop of the stop switches other than the stop switch related to the first stop in the recommended pressing order. .

[About Penalty]
In the present embodiment, the condition for giving a penalty is described as “an irregular push during non-AT”, but is not limited to this, and “the anomaly is pushed during non-AT”. It may be a condition in which other conditions are combined with the condition. For example, the other conditions include “winning a predetermined role” and “winning a predetermined role and winning the predetermined role”.

[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 normal navigation effect, and the CB2 game can also be played. As a result, in the CB2 game As an example, 15 sheets were paid out and 29 sheets were paid out in total. 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. As a result of the stock consumption, a normal navigation effect is executed and medals are 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.

[Regarding execution probability of normal navigation effect for AT and AT at the time of incubation]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the normal navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 pieces when the first winning combination is won in the latent AT, and the case where the first winning combination is won in the AT Both of the normal navigation effect execution probabilities for paying out 14 sheets were 100%. However, the normal navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 cards when the first winning combination is won in the AT at the time of latency, and the normal navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 images when the first winning combination is won in the AT If it is the same or substantially the same, it is not limited to 100%. For example, if the normal navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets at the AT is α% and the normal navigation effect execution probability for paying out 14 sheets at the AT time of latent is α ± A%, the A% is Any value may be used as long as the player feels that the normal navigation effect execution probability at the AT and the normal navigation effect execution probability at 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 the normal navigation effect is executed randomly based on a predetermined lottery probability. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the predetermined normal 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 normal navigation effect execution probability when the second winning combination is won in the AT. More specifically, the predetermined normal navigation effect execution probability when the second winning combination is won at the latent AT is 30%, and the predetermined normal navigation effect execution probability when the second winning combination is won at the AT. May be 70%.

  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 normal navigation effect is produced with a probability of 70% when it is AT. On the other hand, the normal navigation effect is executed with a probability of 30%, which is lower than the probability of 70% 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.

  Also, for example, when the second winning combination is won in the latent AT, the normal navigation effect is not executed (normal navigation effect execution probability is 0%), and when the second winning combination is won in the AT, the normal navigation effect is executed. (Normal navigation effect execution probability is 100%).

  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 normal navigation effect is executed when it is AT. Normally, 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.
