In addition, a continuous effect including a specific effect aspect of the specific continuous effect may be different from the effect aspects of other parts as long as the specific effect aspect is included in the specific continuous effect. The production mode may be the same.
Specifically, for example, when the display mode of an image in another continuous effect is an animation image, while the display mode of the image in a specific continuous effect is a live-action image, the specific effect mode of the specific continuous effect is This is a display of a live-action image, and also includes an image display method that is unique in this way. In addition, in the continuous production including the production mode peculiar to the specific continuous production, the content of the live-action image may be different from or common to the specific continuous production.
In other continuous productions, the interrupt image is interrupted and not displayed on the display screen in the middle of the continuous production, whereas the interrupt image is interrupted and displayed on the display screen in the middle of the continuous production in the specific continuous production. An effect mode peculiar to a specific continuous effect is an interrupt image interrupt display, and includes an image display pattern peculiar in this way. In addition, in the continuous production including the production mode peculiar to the specific continuous production, the interrupt image content may be different from or common to the specific continuous production.
In addition, when a type of character that does not appear in another continuous effect is displayed in a specific continuous effect, the effect mode specific to the specific continuous effect is a display of a type of character that does not appear in another continuous effect. In this way, a display object having a unique type is also included.
In addition, the production | generation aspect peculiar to the said specific continuous production is not limited to what a single production | generation aspect is peculiar, The thing which the combination aspect of several production | generation aspects is peculiar is included.

The slot machine of means 5 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of means 2 to 4,
The variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) has a plurality of variable display areas (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols each identifiable.
One game is completed when display results are derived and displayed in all of the plurality of variable display areas, and one of the plurality of winning lines (winning lines L1 to L5) passing through the plurality of variable display areas is selected. A winning can be generated according to the combination of symbols derived above,
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when deriving display results to each of the plurality of variable display areas;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving a display result in each of the plurality of variable display areas according to a determination result of the prior determination means (internal lottery) when the derivation operation means is operated;
With
The pre-determining means includes
Among the general prizes (small role, re-playing part) different from the special prize, the first general prize (cherry) is allowed to be generated and the first special prize (BB (1)) is simultaneously determined. 1 (BB (1) + cherry), simultaneously determining that the first general prize (cherry) is allowed to be generated and that the second special prize (BB (2)) is allowed to be generated Second decision (BB (2) + cherry), second general prize (one sheet) different from the first general prize among the general prizes, indicating that the occurrence of the first general prize (cherry) is allowed ) And the third determination (BB (1) + cherry + 1) for simultaneously determining the first special prize, the fact that the first general prize (cherry) is allowed, The second special prize (1 sheet) is allowed to occur and the second special Award (BB (2)) it is possible to simultaneously fourth decision to determine (BB (2) + +1 cherry),
The ratio of the probability of making the first decision to the combined probability of the probability of making the first decision and the probability of making the second decision, the probability of making the third decision, and the first The first to fourth determinations are performed with a different probability from the ratio of the probability of the third determination to the total probability of the determination of four determinations (see FIG. 9F),
The derivation control means includes
When the first condition in which the first determination or the second determination is made is satisfied, the first winning line (L2 to L5) of the plurality of winning lines is transferred from the second winning line. A control for deriving a combination of symbols to which the first general prize is won at a high rate,
When the second condition in which the third determination or the fourth determination is made is satisfied, the first winning line (L1) is higher than the first winning line in the first winning line (L1). Control is performed to derive a combination of symbols that the general prize is won (see FIG. 9E).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, when the first determination or the second determination is made, there is a high possibility that a combination of symbols in which the first general winning is won is derived in the first winning line. In the case where the determination of 3 or the fourth determination is made, there is a high possibility that a combination of symbols in which the first general winning is won in the second winning line is derived. In other words, when the first or second determination is made, the first general prize is generated, and when the third or fourth decision is made, the first general prize is generated. In some cases, the winning line from which the combination of symbols that the first general winning prize is won is easily derived is different. Then, the ratio of the probability that the first decision is made to the combined probability of the probability that the first decision is made and the probability that the second decision is made, the probability that the third decision is made, and the fourth decision Since the ratio of the probability of making the third decision to the total probability is different from the probability of being made, when the first general prize is generated, the combination of symbols in which the first general prize is generated is derived Depending on the selected winning line and the production mode selected at that time, not only the occurrence of a special winning is permitted, but also the degree of expectation that a highly advantageous added value will be given is changed. be able to. Furthermore, when a combination of symbols for generating the first general winning is derived in the second winning line, a combination of symbols for generating the first general winning is derived in the first winning line. In both cases, it is suggested that the occurrence of a special prize is permitted, but either the first special prize or the second special prize is obtained from a prize line from which a combination of symbols for generating the first general prize is derived. It is impossible to determine whether or not the occurrence of the first prize is allowed, and the special prize is allowed to be generated regardless of which winning line the combination of symbols generating the first general prize is derived. The player's expectation for the game will not be lost.
The control for deriving the first winning line with the combination of symbols in which the first general winning is generated at a rate higher than that of the second winning line means that the first winning line has the rate of 100%. It includes control for deriving a combination of symbols in which the first general winning is generated. In addition, the control for deriving the second winning line with the combination of symbols in which the first general winning is generated at a higher rate than the first winning line means that the second winning line has the rate of 100%. It includes control for deriving a combination of symbols in which the first general winning is generated.

The slot machine of means 6 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of means 1 to 5,
The continuous effect execution means is an effect mode for the player to select one of the effect modes from the plurality of types of effect modes (effect modes A to C) during execution of the continuous effect (special role winning suggestion effect). When the selection operation section (production mode changeover switch 58) is operated, a continuous production mode changing means (cut-in production) for changing the production mode of the continuous production being executed (interrupting the image on the display image) is provided. It is characterized by including.
According to this feature, it is possible to effectively use the effect mode selection operation unit for selecting the effect mode even in a situation where the effect mode cannot be selected while the continuous effect is being executed.

The slot machine of means 7 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of means 1 to 6,
The pre-determining means (internal lottery) determines whether or not to allow the generation of a plurality of types of winnings including a priority winning (small role, replaying role) different from the special winning (special role),
When the pre-determining means simultaneously determines that the special prize is allowed to be generated and the priority prize is allowed to be generated, the prize corresponding to the priority prize is displayed based on the prize display result corresponding to the special prize. Preferential winning priority derivation control means for prioritizing display results;
With
The number of types of special prizes that do not overlap each other for the operation procedure for generating a prize: X, the probability that the pre-decision means allows the occurrence of the priority prize during the continuous production: Y, The feature is that Z <X + Y · Z holds when the number of continuous games of continuous production is Z.
According to this feature, the number of games that are expected to generate a priority prize that makes it difficult to generate a special prize during a continuous performance, and the number of types of special prizes in which operation procedures for generating a prize do not overlap each other, In other words, continuous production is executed over a plurality of games that is less than the value obtained by adding the number of games required to reliably generate special prizes, so that special prizes will be generated until the continuous production ends. It is difficult to reliably determine whether or not to allow the player to continue, and it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the occurrence of the special prize until the end of the continuous performance. In addition, since the number of games for continuous production is determined in consideration of the number of games that are expected to generate priority prizes that make it difficult to generate special prizes during continuous production, the number of types of special prizes that do not overlap with each other It is possible to increase the number of continuous games in a continuous production without significantly increasing the number.
In addition, the preferential prize is a prize different from the special prize, and a re-game prize is awarded in which a re-game that allows a game to be played without using a game-use value or a small-game prize that is accompanied by a game-value is given. Among them, the winning display result is derived in preference to the special winning.
In addition, the number of types of the special prize that does not overlap the operation procedure for generating a prize is a part of the operation procedure when the operation procedure for generating one special prize is performed. This is the number of special prizes that cannot be used to generate the other special prize, even if some of them are duplicated in the operating procedure for generating a prize. It is not counted. For example, for the three special prizes, the two special prizes have overlapping operation procedures, and the two special prize operating procedures that overlap these operating procedures and the remaining special prize operating procedures do not overlap each other. But there are two types.
In addition, the probability of determining that the preferential winning is allowed to be generated by the predetermining means during the continuous performance: Y is the occurrence of the priority winning (general role) during the period in which the continuous performance is being executed. For example, when it is determined that the occurrence of a special prize is permitted, or when a predetermined transition display result is derived, the occurrence of a priority prize than the normal is permitted. In the case of having a plurality of probabilities that it is determined to allow the occurrence of a preferential prize, such as when the game is controlled in a preferential winning high probability game state in which the probability that the effect is determined becomes high, the continuous game number of continuous effects is set to Z In the gaming state in which the continuous effect is executed, Y is a probability that it is determined that the priority winning is permitted, and Z <X + Y · Z may be satisfied.

  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 in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. In other words, when 6 is set as the set value, the player has the highest advantage, and the advantages decrease stepwise in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  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 power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, 1 is displayed as the initial value of the setting value on the setting value display 24, and the setting change mode in which the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 is set. Transition. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change mode, the setting value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the setting value is returned to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the set value is confirmed, and the confirmed set value is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  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 general work, a special work, a set value work, a stop phase work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work is a work that stores data to be initialized only before the start of setting, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers. The set value work is a work in which a set value used when performing a lottery in the internal lottery process is stored. After initializing 0 before setting is started (before shifting to the setting change mode), 1 is stored. The set value that is corrected and newly set at the end of the setting (when the setting change mode is ended) is stored. The stop phase work is a work in which data indicating the stop phase of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stored, and data indicating the stop phase is stored when the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are stopped. The Rukoto. 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 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 CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a operates when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON, when a RAM error occurs, when starting only when the setting key switch 37 is ON, BB At the end, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both OFF, when the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed, the six initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied In addition, five types of initialization are performed in different regions to be initialized according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON at the time of start-up, and initialization is performed before the transition to the setting change mode or when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c other than the used stack area are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization performed only when the setting key switch 37 is in an ON state at the time of start-up and shifts to the setting change mode. In the initialization 1, in the storage area of the RAM 41c, All areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) other than the in-use stack area and the stop phase work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are in an OFF state at the time of activation, and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The stored work, unused area, and unused stack area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 0 and initialization 1 are performed before transition to the setting change mode. However, they may be performed at the end of the setting change mode, that is, after the setting is confirmed. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the set value work is not initialized.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a sends a BET 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 game state command, a standby command to the effect control board 90.

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

  The door command is stored in a door command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c in the door monitoring process in the timer interrupt process (main) described above, and is transmitted in the timer interrupt process (main) described above.

  The door command transmission buffer is provided separately from the normal command transmission buffer, and an area in which only one door command can be stored is allocated. The door command transmission buffer stores a door command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 at the time of power-on or at the end of one game, and after the change of the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25. Stored is a door command indicating the detected state. Further, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by the newly stored door command. When the power is turned on or one game is finished, the door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is set, and the door command transmission request 1 is set or the door is opened. When the detection state of the detection switch 25 changes, the door command transmission request 2 is set. When this door command transmission request 2 is set, the door stored in the door command transmission buffer is set. Command transmission is instructed.

  The operation detection command is stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer provided in the special work of the RAM 41c in the switch monitoring process in the timer interrupt process (main) described above, and is transmitted in the timer interrupt process (main) described above. The

  The operation detection command transmission buffer is provided separately from the normal command transmission buffer and the door command transmission buffer, and an area in which only one operation detection command can be stored is allocated. The operation detection command transmission buffer includes a single BET switch 5, a MAXBET switch 6, a start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and a detection state after the change when the detection state of the checkout switch 10 changes. An operation detection command indicating validity / invalidity of each switch at the time is stored. In addition, the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer is not cleared after the operation detection command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by the newly stored operation detection command. It has become. An operation detection command transmission request is set when the detection state of any of these switches changes, and an operation detection command transmission buffer is set by setting the operation detection command transmission request. The operation detection command stored in the command is transmitted.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a executes timer interrupt processing at intervals of 0.56 ms. In the timer interrupt process, timer interrupts 1 to 4 are repeatedly performed, and processes peculiar to these timer interrupts 1 to 4 are performed at intervals of 2.24 ms. The command transmission process for transmitting the command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, and the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer is a timer allocation. The command transmission process is also executed at intervals of 2.24 ms.

  On the other hand, the sub CPU 91a acquires a command buffered in a reception buffer, which will be described later, in a timer interrupt process (sub) that is executed at an interval of 1.12 ms. For this reason, every time the main CPU 41a executes a timer interrupt process, that is, when a command transmission process is performed at an interval of 0.56 ms, there is a possibility that the sub-control unit 91 cannot receive the command normally.

  However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the main CPU 41a executes the command transmission process at a rate of once per four timer interrupt processes, that is, at an interval of 2.24 ms. By transmitting only one of the command stored in the transmission buffer, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, and the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer, a plurality of commands can be transmitted. Even in the case of continuous transmission, transmission is performed with an interval of at least 2.24 ms, and these continuously transmitted commands can be reliably acquired on the sub-control unit 91 side.

  In this embodiment, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the activation process or the game process, and stored in the normal command transmission buffer. In the door command, when the door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is set in the activation process or the game process, or the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 is changed. In this case, it is stored in the door command transmission buffer. The operation detection command is stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer when the detection state of any one of the BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R, and the checkout switch 10 changes. Is done.

  In the command transmission process in the timer interrupt 2, an untransmitted command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, an untransmitted door command transmission request stored in the door command transmission buffer, or an operation detection command transmission buffer When a transmission request for the stored operation detection command is detected, a delay time is set, and when the set delay time elapses, the unsent command and door command transmission buffer stored in the normal command transmission buffer The operation command stored in the door or the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer is transmitted.

  Specifically, in the command transmission process, an untransmitted command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, a door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, or an operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer. When detected, the random number for delay set in the range of 0 to 17 is acquired and set in the delay counter provided in the special work of the RAM 41c.

  At this time, in the command transmission process in which the delay counter value is set and the command transmission process executed in the timer interrupt 2 thereafter, the delay counter value is decremented by 1 and when the delay counter value becomes 0, An untransmitted command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, a door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, or an operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer is transmitted.

  That is, the command detected in the command transmission process is a time corresponding to a multiple of the command transmission process execution interval (2.24 ms). Specifically, the command transmission process is performed by subtracting 1 from the delay counter value acquired at that time. Is transmitted after the elapse of time (2.24 ms) {0 to 35.84 ms because the delay counter value is 0 to 17}.

  In addition, the command stored in the buffer for normal command transmission, the door command stored in the buffer for door command transmission, and the operation detection command stored in the buffer for operation detection command transmission are interrupted by the basic processing. Since it is performed within (main), processing is not delayed due to command delay.

  Further, in this embodiment, an area capable of storing a plurality of commands is provided in the normal command transmission buffer, the command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, Alternatively, a newly generated command can be stored in an empty area of the normal command transmission buffer without waiting for transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer. That is, a plurality of commands can be stored in the normal command transmission buffer. For this reason, it can be avoided that the progress of the game is stopped due to the delay of the command transmission. This is not the case when the normal command transmission buffer is full of untransmitted commands.

  In the command storage process, when a plurality of commands are stored in the normal command transmission buffer, these commands are stored in the order of generation. In the command transmission process, the commands are transmitted in the order stored in the normal command transmission buffer. It is like that. That is, commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer are transmitted in the order in which they are generated.

  Note that the power-on command and the initialization command are transmitted with the highest priority. Before the power-on command or initialization command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer, other normal commands ( Hereinafter, commands other than the door command, operation detection command, power-on command, and initialization command are called normal commands. Even if the normal command is not already stored since the data is also cleared, the power-on command or the initialization command is transmitted with priority.

  When a normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer and a door command transmission is requested (when the door command transmission request 2 is set), in principle, the normal command transmission buffer. The door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is transmitted with priority over the command stored in.

  Note that when the command stored in the normal command transmission buffer is a power-on command or an initialization command, or when the normal command transmission buffer stored in the normal command transmission buffer is waiting (delayed), the door command However, this is not the case when a request for transmission is requested, and the power-on command, initialization command, or normal command waiting to be transmitted is given priority. After being sent, send a door command. If an untransmitted normal command remains in the normal command transmission buffer after transmitting a normal command waiting for transmission, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is preferentially transmitted.

  In addition, when a normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer, an operation detection command transmission is requested (when an operation detection command transmission request is set), or door command transmission and operation detection. When command transmission is requested at the same time, as a rule, the command stored in the normal command transmission buffer or the door command transmission buffer is stored rather than the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer. Priority is given to the door command being sent.

  When a normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer while waiting for transmission of an operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer (during delay), or when transmission of a door command is requested However, the operation detection command waiting for transmission is transmitted with priority, and after the operation detection command waiting for transmission is transmitted, the normal command or the door command is transmitted.

  The main CPU 41a monitors the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 about every 100 ms. Specifically, in any of the timer interrupts 1 to 4 of the timer interrupt process (main), that is, in the port input process performed every 0.56 ms, an input state (door) in which the detection signal from the door open detection switch 25 is converted to a positive logic. Open detection switch 25ON = 1 (door open state), door open detection switch 25OFF = 0 (door closed state)), and is performed by timer interrupt 2 of the timer interrupt process (main), that is, every 2.24 ms. In the door monitoring process to be performed, the detection state of the detection signal of the door opening detection switch 25 acquired in the port input process described above (the input state that is the same for two consecutive times) is logically ORed for about 100 ms (45 times of the door monitoring process). Subsequently, the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 is determined using the result. If the calculation result is 1 when about 100 ms elapses, that is, if the door opening detection switch 25 is turned ON (opened) even once during that time, it is determined that the door opening detection switch 25 is ON. If the calculation result is 0, that is, if the door opening detection switch 25 is not turned ON (opened) even once during that time, it is determined that the door opening detection switch 25 is OFF. If the result of this determination matches the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 indicated by the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer, it is determined that there is no change in the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25. Otherwise, it is determined that the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 has changed, the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer is updated to a door command indicating the detection state after the change, and the door command transmission request 2 Is set to command transmission of the door command. When determining that the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 has changed, the main CPU 41a requests an update of the output state of the door opening signal to the external output board 1000 in addition to the door command transmission command.

  The main CPU 41a sets the door command transmission request 1 in the activation process or the game process when the power is turned on or at the end of one game, and requests transmission of the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer. On the other hand, in the door monitoring process, it is determined whether or not the door command transmission request 1 is set. If the door command transmission request 1 is set, it is determined that there is a door command transmission request and the door command transmission is performed. Request 2 is set to command transmission of the door command stored in the door command transmission buffer. In addition, when the door command transmission request 1 is set, the main CPU 41a requests an update of the door open signal output state for the external output board 1000 in addition to the door command transmission command.

  In this way, when commanding the transmission of the door command, it is also required to update the output state of the door opening signal to the external output board 1000, so the door opening signal output state is linked to the door command transmission command. And is updated.

  In the present embodiment, the door command is given priority over the normal command as described above, and the door command is transmitted after a delay time determined at random has passed as in the case of other commands. On the other hand, since the maximum command delay time is 35.84 ms, when transmission of a door command is requested in a state where the normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer, after the door command is transmitted, Further, it takes about 72 ms until the normal command stored in the normal command transmission buffer is transmitted. However, the monitoring interval of the door open detection switch 25 is further stored in the normal command transmission buffer after transmitting the door command. If the detected state of the door opening detection switch 25 is continuously changed if it is shorter than about 72 ms required for transmitting the normal command being stored, the normal command transmission buffer is stored while the change continues. Normal command sending buffer will not be sent, so normal command sending buffer overflows There is a possibility become. For this reason, in this embodiment, the monitoring interval of the door opening detection switch 25 is about longer than about 72 ms required for transmitting the normal command stored in the normal command transmission buffer after transmitting the door command. Even if the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 is continuously changed, the normal command is transmitted after the door command is transmitted until the next door command is transmitted. At least one normal command stored in the transmission buffer can be transmitted, so that the normal command transmission buffer does not overflow.

  The main CPU 41a monitors the detection states of the single BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the checkout switch 10 about every 10 ms. Specifically, in the above-described port input process performed every 0.56 ms, an input state in which detection signals from the single BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the settlement switch 10 are converted to positive logic. (ON = 1, OFF = 0) is acquired, and the timer interrupt process (main) is performed by timer interrupt 2, that is, the switch monitoring process performed every 2.24 ms, the 1 acquired in the above-described port input process The detection state of the detection signals of the sheet BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the settlement switch 10 (input state that is the same for two consecutive times) is about 10 ms (door monitoring process 5 Times) Continue to logically OR each separately, and use the result, 1 BET switch 5, MAXB Determining T switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, the detection state of the adjusting switch 10. When the calculation result is 1 when about 10 ms elapses, that is, when ON is detected even once during that time, it is determined that the corresponding switch is ON, and when the calculation result is 0, that is, during that time If ON is not detected even once, it is determined that the corresponding switch is OFF. If the result of this determination matches the detection state of each switch indicated by the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer, it is determined that there is no change in the detection state. The operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer is changed to an operation detection command that indicates the detection state after the change and indicates the validity / invalidity of each switch at that time. Update, set operation detection command transmission request, and instruct transmission of the operation detection command.

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

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. 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 receiving buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 128 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, various effects such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Control the device.

  In this embodiment, the time interval (1.12 ms) at which the sub CPU 91a performs the timer interrupt process (sub) is shorter than the time interval (2.24 ms) at which the main CPU 41a transmits a command. If an operation associated with a normal game is performed, an unprocessed command stored in the reception buffer is not received until the next command is received even when commands are continuously transmitted from the main CPU 41a. It is read by the timer interrupt process (sub), and a plurality of unprocessed commands are not accumulated in the reception buffer. When a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a is received, the timer interrupt process performed first after that The command received by (sub) is read and processing corresponding to the command 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 55, etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a, among the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table, With reference to the control pattern corresponding to the received command type, the rendering device is controlled based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, there are three types of effect modes, effect mode B, effect mode B, and effect mode C, which are effected by displaying an image on the display area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51. In these various effect modes A to C, the type of character appearing in the effect, the type of image used for the background, the execution probability of the effect, the execution mode of the effect, and the like are different.

  In the present embodiment, the types of characters appearing in the productions in the various production modes A to C, the types of images used for the background, the execution probability of the production, the execution mode of the production, etc. are different. Although the type of character and the type of image used for the background are different, the execution probability and execution mode of the production may be the same, and the production of the same production pattern may be provided for each of the production modes A to C. .

  These effect modes A to C can be switched to any one of the effect modes A to C by the player's operation of the effect mode switching switch 58. Specifically, when the effect mode switching switch 58 is operated during a period when the game is not being executed, the display of the display area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51 is switched to an effect mode switching screen (not shown). By operating the effect mode changeover switch 58 while the screen is displayed, the type of effect mode is switched and the desired mode can be selected. Then, when any one of the production modes is selected, the betting number setting operation (medal insertion or operation of the MAX BET switch 6 or the single BET switch 5) is performed, so that the production mode selected at that time is changed. It has come to be decided.

  In the present embodiment, a period from when the betting number setting operation is performed until rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped and a display result is derived (during game execution), and during game execution. Even if there is not, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is invalidated and the effect mode cannot be switched when a special role selection suggestion effect (also referred to as a continuous effect) or an effect during bonus is executed. (See FIGS. 17 and 18). Details of the validity / invalidity period of the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 will be described later.

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

  In particular, in this embodiment, when an operation for setting the number of bets is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the number of bets has been set, the effect being executed is canceled. It is supposed to be. 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 bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a performs the special role winning suggestion effect to be described later, and when the special role winning suggestion effect is continued for the next game, the bet number setting operation is performed. Even when a BET command indicating that is set is received, an effect that is being executed is not canceled.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b. When the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, it is registered in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. The selected selection pattern is selected from a plurality of types of production patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected production pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the production pattern of the game.

  The control pattern table contains specific controls that are referred to when a specific command (standby command, stop command, error command, initialization command, setting end command, power-on command indicating that special role is elected, etc.) is received. When the pattern is stored and the sub CPU 91a receives these specific commands, the sub CPU 91a refers to the specific control pattern corresponding to the command regardless of the effect pattern set in the game, and The rendering device is controlled based on the pattern.

  When a standby command is received, a demo pattern for executing a demonstration effect (demonstration effect) is referred to as a control pattern. In addition, when the final effect that informs the winning of the special role is being executed, the execution of the demo effect is prohibited, and the demo pattern is controlled even if a standby command is received in such a state. It is not referred to as a pattern, and no demonstration effect is executed.

  When a stop command indicating the occurrence of a stop state is received, a stop notification pattern for notifying that the stop state is in effect is referred to as a control pattern. When a stop command indicating release of the stop state is received, the above-described demo pattern is referred to as a control pattern. That is, when the stop state is released, the demonstration effect is executed.

  When an error command indicating the occurrence of an error state is received, an error notification pattern for notifying the fact of the error state and its type is referred to as a control pattern. When an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is received, the control pattern that was being executed when the error occurred is referred to. That is, the production at the time of error occurrence is executed from the beginning.

  When the initialization command is received, a setting notification pattern for notifying that the setting is being changed is referred to. When the setting end command is received, the demo pattern described above is referred to as a control pattern. In other words, when an initialization command is received, a notification during setting change is executed, and when a setting end command is received thereafter, a demonstration effect is executed.

  When a power-on command indicating that the special role is won is received, a fixed notification pattern for notifying that the special role is won is referred to. That is, when a power-on command indicating that the special role is won is received, a notification effect for notifying that the special role is won is executed. Note that the notification effect for notifying the winning of the special combination is once executed until it receives a winning determination command indicating that the special combination has won.

  Based on the reception of the door command, the sub CPU 91a issues a door opening notification indicating that the front door 1b is opened. Specifically, when the sub CPU 91a receives a door command, if no new door command is received after 100 ms, the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 indicated by the received door command is confirmed and detected. If the confirmation detection state is ON (door open), the door open notification is performed. In the door opening notification, the effect effect LED 52 blinks, the door opening notification screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and an error warning sound is output. After that, the door command is received, and even if 100 ms elapses, the door command is not received and the detection state indicated by the door command becomes the definite detection state. If the definite detection state is OFF (door closed), the door is opened. Stops the notification and returns to the original performance.

  In addition, when a door command is newly received within 100 ms after the last door command is received, the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 indicated by the previously received command is not set as the definite detection state. If no door command is received even after 100 ms after receiving a new door command, the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 indicated by the last received door command is set as the detection state, and the determination detection state is If it is ON (door open), the door open notification is performed, and if the definite detection state is OFF (door closed), the door open notification is stopped.

  For this reason, even if a door command indicating that the door opening detection switch 25 is ON (door opening) is received in a state where the door opening notification is not performed, the door opening detection switch 25 is turned OFF (door closing) within 100 ms. When the door command is received, the door opening notification is not performed, and even when the door command indicating that the door opening detection switch 25 is OFF (door closed) is received in the state where the door opening notification is being performed, 100 ms thereafter. If the door command indicating ON of the door opening detection switch 25 (door opening) is received within, the door opening notification is not stopped.

  The sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the single BET switch 5, the MAX BET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the settlement switch 10 are operated based on the reception of the operation detection command. Specifically, when the sub CPU 91a receives an operation detection command, if no new operation detection command is received after 100 ms, the detection state of each switch indicated by the received operation detection command is confirmed and detected. If any of the switches has changed from the OFF state to the ON state as compared to the previous fixed detection state, it is determined that the corresponding switch has been operated, and any of the switches is ON. If the state has changed to the OFF state, it is determined that the operation of the corresponding switch has been released.

  For this reason, even when an operation detection command is received and the detection state of any switch has changed, if an operation detection command indicating the same detection state as before the change is received within 100 ms, The operation or release of the operation is not determined.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the single BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, the detection state of the checkout switch 10, that is, ON / OFF, these switches are in progress of the game. Whether an operation detection command indicating whether the switch is in a valid state or an invalid state is valid for the progress of the game when the switch detection state changes. The sub CPU 91a can identify the operation detected by the main CPU 41a regardless of whether or not the operation is valid, so that one sheet is transmitted. Operation of BET switch 5, MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and settlement switch 10 In addition to the timing when the control of the game is made effective and coincides with the timing at which the control of the game proceeds, the effect is executed when the operation of these switches is invalid, that is, at a timing not directly related to the control of the progress of the game. It becomes possible.

  In other words, in order to perform a production operation, a new detection means is not installed, but the operation means is originally installed for advancing the game and detected by the main CPU 41a. It is possible to perform operations for performance even in a disabled state in progress, and the sub CPU 91a can perform performance using the operations of these operation means, so that the timing of the performance can be varied. You can have it.

  In addition, it is possible to specify whether the operation of each switch is valid or invalid from the operation detection command, and the sub CPU 91a operates the switch when receiving the operation detection command. An appropriate effect can be executed depending on whether or not the reception period is valid.

  Further, when transmitting the operation detection command, the main CPU 41a transmits an operation detection command indicating the detection state of the single BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the settlement switch 10. However, it is not determined whether or not the switch is operated based on the detection state. The sub CPU 91a determines that the single BET switch 5, the MAXBET switch 6, and the like based on the detection state indicated by the operation detection command received from the main CPU 41a. Since it is determined whether the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R and the checkout switch 10 are operated and the operation status of these switches can be grasped based on the determination result, the main CPU 41a Send operation detection command Therefore, it is not necessary to determine whether or not a switch in an invalid period, that is, a switch that is not related to the progress control of the game is operated (e.g., chattering prevention determination), and the control load on the main CPU 41a is reduced. can do.

  Note that the operation detection command may be transmitted only when a switch in an invalid period, that is, a switch that is not related to the progress of the game is operated. In such a configuration, the sub CPU 91a However, since it is not necessary to receive an operation detection command redundantly with other commands due to effective operation, and reception of useless operation detection commands can be excluded, the control load on the sub CPU 91a side is reduced. be able to.

  The sub CPU 91a transmits one piece that is valid for the progress of the game (a state in which a bet number can be set, a specified number of bets has not yet been set, and credits remain). When the operation detection command indicating the detection state of the BET switch 5 and the MAXBET switch 6 is received, an effect mode switching invalid flag for invalidating the detection of the effect mode change switch 58 is set, and the game state command is received thereafter. Sometimes the production mode switching invalid flag is cleared. That is, in the period from the start to the end of the game, the above-described switching operation between the production modes A to C is invalidated, and the selection of the production mode is prohibited.

  When a game state command is received, a counter value (0 to 3) of a continuous effect counter that counts the number of execution games of a special role suggestion effect, which will be described later, a special combination internal winning flag, and a bonus flag setting status If the counter value of the continuous effect counter is not 0 (counter value = 1 to 3), the special winning internal winning flag is set or the bonus bonus flag is set, The mode switching invalid flag is maintained without being cleared.

  That is, when the special role winning suggestion effect is being executed at the stage when the game is over and the special role winning suggestion effect is continued in the next game (at the end of the final game of the special role winning suggestion effect (continuous effect counter ) At the end of the first to third games (except for = 0) (continuous production counter = 3 to 1)), when the special role is won internally and carried over to the next game as described later, or when a bonus is in progress In the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game, the effect mode switching operation by the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes invalid. The details of the setting situation of the special role winning suggestion effect and the effect mode switching invalid flag will be described later.

  Further, the main CPU 41a, when the normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer, when transmission of the operation detection command is requested (when the operation detection command transmission request is set), or the door command When transmission and operation detection command transmission are requested at the same time, as a rule, commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer or door command transmission rather than operation detection commands stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer are sent. The door command stored in the trust buffer is preferentially transmitted, and the transmission of the normal command and the door command is not delayed by the transmission of the operation detection command.

  When a normal command is stored in the normal command transmission buffer while waiting for transmission of an operation detection command stored in the operation detection command transmission buffer (during delay), or when transmission of a door command is requested In this case, the operation detection command during the delay is transmitted with priority, and the delay control is not complicated by interrupting it even though the delay time has already started. .

  Further, in this embodiment, once an operation detection command transmission request for instructing transmission of an operation detection command is set, the detection state of any switch changes until an operation detection command based on the command is transmitted. However, the operation detection command is not updated, and the operation detection command can be prevented from being overwritten without being transmitted.

  In this embodiment, an operation detection command transmission buffer is provided separately from the normal command transmission buffer and the door command transmission buffer, and the normal command and the door command are transmitted with priority over the operation detection command. In this case, the transmission management does not become complicated.

  In this embodiment, the operation detection command is stored in the transmission buffer in the timer interrupt process (main) that periodically interrupts and executes the basic process, whereas the normal command is transmitted in the basic process. Since it is configured to store in the buffer, if the operation detection command and the normal command are stored in the same transmission buffer, it is necessary to prohibit interrupts when storing the normal command in the transmission buffer (normally If an operation detection command is stored while the command is being stored in the transmission buffer, the normal command being processed will be overwritten, and the operation detection command will be partially overwritten after returning. In such a configuration, interrupts are prohibited every time a normal command is stored, causing reel rotation fluctuations and However, it may affect other controls such as blurring at the time of paying out the command. However, as described above, the operation detection command transmission buffer is provided separately from the normal command transmission buffer. Even when the normal command is stored in the transmission buffer in the timer interruption process (main) that periodically interrupts and executes the basic process, the normal command is stored in the transmission buffer in the basic process. It is no longer necessary to prohibit interrupts, and the above problems can be solved.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In this embodiment, as will be described later, as the gaming state, regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB), RT (0) (replay time (0) or initial gaming state), RT (1) (replay time (1) ), RT (2) (replay time (2)), RT (3) (replay time (3)), RT (4) (replay time (4)), RT (5) (replay time (5)), There is RT (6) (replay time (6)), but 3 is defined as the prescribed number of bets in any gaming state. Therefore, regardless of whether the gaming state is RB or RT (0) to (6), the game can be started when 3 is set as the bet number. In this embodiment, when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state is set, all the winning lines L1 to L5 are activated, and the number of bets regardless of the gaming state. As a result, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated at the time when 3 is set.

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

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

  As the role in the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 5, a regular bonus (hereinafter, regular bonus is RB), a big bonus (1) (2) (hereinafter, a big bonus (1) (2) ) Is BB (1) (2)), but as a small part, Cherry, 1 (1) (2), 12 (1) to (3), 11 (1) to (3), Bell Replays (1) to (6) are defined as re-game players.

  In any game state, when the combination of “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is aligned on any of the winning lines for the left reel in any gaming state, that is, the symbol “Cherry” is derived on any of the winning lines on the left reel. Wins a prize and a medal is paid out. If the “cherry” symbol stops at the top or bottom of the left reel, the combination of cherries will be aligned with the two winning lines L2 and L3 or the winning lines L4 and L5. Since winning a cherry on the winning line, two medals will be paid out.

  One (1) is awarded when a combination of “watermelon-black 7-white 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and one medal is paid out. One (2) is awarded when one of the winning lines has a combination of “watermelon-net 7-black 7” in any game state, and one medal is paid out. In the following description, one sheet (1) and one sheet (2) may be collectively referred to simply as one sheet. Twelve (1) wins when any combination of “black 7-bell-white cherry” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 12 medals are paid out. Twelve (2) are awarded when the combination of “net 7-bell-white cherry” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 12 medals are paid out. Twelve (3) wins when the combination of “white 7-bell-white cherry” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 12 medals are paid out. In the following description, the 12 sheets (1) to (3) may be collectively referred to simply as 12 sheets. Eleven (1) wins when the combination of “Black 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 11 medals are paid out. Eleven (2) wins when the combination of “net 7-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 11 medals are paid out. Eleven (3) wins when the combination of “white 7-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 11 medals are paid out. In the following, 11 sheets (1) to (3) may be collectively referred to as 11 sheets. The bell is awarded when a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and nine medals are paid out.

  Replay (1) is awarded when a combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. Replay (2) is awarded when a combination of “Replay-Replay-Watermelon” is arranged on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. Replay (3) is awarded when a combination of “Black 7-Replay-Watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. Replay (4) is awarded when a combination of “net 7-replay-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. Replay (5) is awarded when a combination of “bell-bell-black cherry” is arranged on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. Replay (6) is awarded when a combination of “Bell-Bell-BAR” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. When replays (1) to (6) win, the medal is not paid out, but the next game can be started again without setting the bet amount. This is essentially the same as a medal being paid out.

  RB is awarded when the combination of “net 7-net 7-white 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB, and the gaming state shifts to RB. RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of small roles, especially bells and cherries, when 12 games are consumed after RB starts, or 4 games When winning a prize (any kind of role is acceptable), whichever comes first, it ends.

  BB (1) is awarded when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. BB (2) wins when a combination of “network 7-network 7-network 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB.

  When BB (1) (2) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. When RB ends, if BB has not ended, it shifts to RB again and BB ends. Control is repeated until RB. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. Then, the BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 360. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  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 number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 16383) is acquired as described later. Then, for each combination of combinations and combinations determined according to whether the gaming state and special combination carry over or not, each combination determined according to the acquired random number for internal lottery, the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value And it is performed according to the number of judgment values of the combination of combinations. In the present embodiment, from the number of judgment values of each combination and combination of combinations, a range of determination values for a special combination, a small combination, and a re-playing combination, a small combination and a special combination, or a re-playing combination and a special combination, respectively. The range of decision values to be won by overlapping, the range of decision values to be won by overlapping multiple types of small roles, and the range of decision values to be won by overlapping multiple types of re-game players are specified. Thus, winning in the internal lottery is not exclusive, and multiple types of winning combinations may be won simultaneously in one game. However, for special roles of different types, the range of determination values to be won in duplicate is not specified, and special types of different types are exclusively drawn.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the gaming state is RT (0), RT (1) to (5), RT (6), or RB. The combination of combinations and combinations that are subject to internal lottery differs.

  When the gaming state is RT (0), RB, BB (1), BB (2), RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 (1), RB + Cherry + 1 (2), RB + Replay (1), RB + Bell, BB (1) + Cherry, BB (1) + Cherry + 1 (1), BB (1) + Cherry + 1 (2), BB (1) + Replay (1), BB (1) + Bell, BB (2 ) + Cherry, BB (2) + Cherry + 1 (1), BB (2) + Cherry + 1 (2), BB (2) + Replay (1), BB (2) + Bell, Replay (1), Replay GR (1) (Replay (2) + Replay (3)), Replay GR (2) (Replay (2) + Replay (4)), Replay GR (3) (Replay (5) + Replay (6)) , Cherry, cherry +1 (1), cherry +1 (2), Role GR (1) (12 (1) +11 (2)), Small Role GR (2) (12 (1) +11 (3)), Small Role GR (3) (12 (2) +11 Sheets (1)), small part GR (4) (12 sheets (2) +11 sheets (3)), small part GR (5) (12 sheets (3) +11 sheets (1)), small part GR (6) (12 (3) +11 (2)), the bells are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT (1) to (5), RB, BB (1), BB (2), RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 (1), RB + Cherry + 1 (2), RB + Replay (1), RB + Bell, BB (1) + Cherry, BB (1) + Cherry + 1 (1), BB (1) + Cherry + 1 (2), BB (1) + Replay (1), BB (1) + Bell , BB (2) + Cherry, BB (2) + Cherry + 1 (1), BB (2) + Cherry + 1 (2), BB (2) + Replay (1), BB (2) + Bell, Replay (1), cherry, cherry +1 (1), cherry +1 (2), small role GR (1), small role GR (2), small role GR (3), small role GR (4), small role GR (5), small combination GR (6), and bell are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT (6), replay (1), cherry, cherry +1 (1), cherry +1 (2), small role GR (1), small role GR (2), small role GR (3) , A small combination GR (4), a small combination GR (5), a small combination GR (6), and a bell are sequentially read out as target combinations for internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RB, cherry, cherry +1 (1), cherry +1 (2), small role GR (1), small role GR (2), small role GR (3), small role GR (4), A small combination GR (5), a small combination GR (6), and a bell are sequentially read out as target combinations for internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, when the combination or combination of roles to be subject to the internal lottery and the number of judgment values determined corresponding to the current gaming state are sequentially added to the random number for internal lottery, and the result of the addition overflows It is determined that the combination or combination of combinations is won.

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

  In this embodiment, the number of determination values for BB (1) and BB (2) is the same, and the internal winning probability at the set value 6 is about 1/300, respectively. Further, the internal winning probability at the RB setting value 6 is about 1/600.

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

  The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each 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. Note that even if the winning status of the combination is different, the same control is applied (for example, the same in BB (1) + replay (1) winning and BB (2) + replay (1) winning) The same address is stored as the index data, and in such a case, the stop control table is created by referring to the same table creation data. Become.

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

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

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the L1-L5 mode shown in FIG. 1 is adopted as the winning line. Among the constituent symbols of the role, the symbol of the middle reel stops at the middle stage, and the symbols of the left and right reels. If the player stops at any one of the upper, middle and lower stages, the winning combination will be aligned on any winning line. For this reason, if the middle reel is a symbol (“watermelon”, “replay”, “bell”) arranged at intervals of four symbols or less, it is always stopped at any winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation. The left and right reels can be arranged at intervals of up to 6 symbols ("orange", "bell", "replay" on the left reel, and "watermelon", "bell", "replay", "reel" on the right reel). White cherry ”), it is always possible to stop at any of the winning lines regardless of the timing of the stop operation. For the middle reel, regardless of the order of the stop operation, in order to align a combination of symbols to any winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation within a range of 5 symbols including the symbol. For the right reel, regardless of the order of the stop operation, in order to align the symbol combination to any winning line, the stop operation may be performed within a range of 7 symbols including the symbol.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  When a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously won, such as when a special role and a small role are simultaneously won (BB (1 ) + Cherry, BB (1) + Bell, etc.), the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning small role is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames in the winning line, and the winning small role is won For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn into the line in the range of up to 4 frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the winning special role is drawn into the winning line in the range of 4 frames, The reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn in, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

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

  When a special role and a re-playing role are won at the same time, such as when a re-playing role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a re-playing role are won simultaneously (BB ( 1) + Replay (1), etc.), when a stop operation is performed, control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  When multiple types of small roles are elected at the same time (cherry + 1 (the same applies when special roles are simultaneously elected) or small roles GR (1) to (6)), In addition, the number of sliding frames is determined so that the winning line can be drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames, and the stop operation position where both winning small roles can be drawn is the number of payouts of the selected small roles. A stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to draw a small number of small bonuses into the winning line to the maximum within a range of 4 frames is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if a small combination with a large number of payouts can be stopped among the small combinations selected in the payout line within a maximum of 4 frames, it will be aligned and stopped. If control is performed and a small role with a large number of payouts cannot be drawn on the winning line with a maximum of 4 frames, the small number selected on the winning line with a maximum of 4 frames If a small combination with a small number of payouts can be aligned and stopped, a combination is controlled to be stopped, and a combination that is not selected is controlled to be stopped in a pull-in range of 4 frames. It will be. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control of aligning the small role with a large number of payouts on the winning line, and the small role with the small number of payouts can be awarded only when the small number with a large number of payouts cannot be drawn. It becomes possible.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected, the reel (first stop reel) that is first stopped is the left reel, If the left reel is the first stop, whether it is the middle reel or the right reel, control is performed to stop different symbol combinations on the winning line according to the timing at which the stop operation is performed.

  The small role GR (1) (12 (1) + 11 (2)) is elected, the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel stop operation is “Black 7” (Pattern 6-12) ), The middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range of “Black 7”. “Black 7-Bell-White Cherry” is complete, 12 cards (1) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, When the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing within the drawing range (20, 0-5 symbols) of “Net 7”, “Net 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” is aligned on any winning line, Eleven (2) wins, the left reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is “white 7”. If it is made at the timing within the drawing range (No. 13-19), “White 7-Watermelon Replay” is aligned on any winning line, and the opportunity to transition from RT (1) to RT (0) The transitional role (3) is established.

  The small role GR (2) (12 (1) + 11 (3)) is elected, the left reel is the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is “Black 7” (Pattern 6-12) ), The middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range of “Black 7”. “Black 7-Bell-White Cherry” is complete, 12 cards (1) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, If the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “White 7,” “White 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” is aligned on any winning line, and 11 (3) wins. The left reel is the first stop and the stop operation of the left reel is within the pull-in range of “Net 7”. In the case has been made in Koo, one of the winning "net 7 Watermelon - Replay" in line is aligned, RT migration auditors transition that triggers from (1) to RT (0) (2) is satisfied.

  The small role GR (3) (12 (2) + 11 (1)) is elected, the left reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range of “net 7”. In this case, when the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the drawing range of “Net 7”, “Net 7-Bell-White” is placed on any winning line. "Cherry" is complete, 12 cards (2) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel is stopped If the timing is within the “Black 7” pull-in range, “Black 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” will be on one of the winning lines, 11 (1) will win, and the left reel will be the first stop. And when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “White 7” Is one of the "white 7 Watermelon - Replay" to the winning line is aligned, RT migration role as a transition opportunity to RT (0) (1) (3) is satisfied.

  The small role GR (4) (12 (2) + 11 (3)) was elected, the left reel was made the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel was made at the timing within the “net 7” pull-in range. In this case, when the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the drawing range of “Net 7”, “Net 7-Bell-White” is placed on any winning line. "Cherry" is complete, 12 cards (2) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel is stopped If the timing is within the draw range of “White 7”, “White 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” will be on one of the winning lines, 11 (3) will win, and the left reel will be the first stop. And when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “Black 7” Is one of the "black 7-watermelon - Replay" to the winning line is aligned, RT migration officers be migrated opportunity to RT (0) (1) (1) is satisfied.

  The small role GR (5) (12 (3) + 11 (1)) is elected, the left reel is set to the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed within the pull-in range of “White 7”. In this case, if the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the drawing range of “white 7”, “white 7-bell-white” is placed on any winning line. "Cherry" is complete, 12 cards (3) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel stop operation If the timing is within the “Black 7” pull-in range, “Black 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” will be on one of the winning lines, 11 (1) will win, and the left reel will be the first stop. And when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the “Net 7” pull-in range. Is one of the "net 7 Watermelon - Replay" to the winning line is aligned, RT migration auditors transition that triggers from (1) to RT (0) (2) is satisfied.

  The small role GR (6) (12 (3) + 11 (2)) was elected, the left reel was made the first stop, and the stop operation of the left reel was made at the timing within the pull-in range of “White 7” In this case, if the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the drawing range of “white 7”, “white 7-bell-white” is placed on any winning line. "Cherry" is complete, 12 cards (3) that trigger the transition from RT (0) (1) (4) to RT (2) wins, the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel stop operation If the timing is within the “Net 7” pull-in range, “Net 7-Watermelon-Watermelon” will be on one of the winning lines, 11 (2) will win, and the left reel will be the first stop. And when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “Black 7” Is one of the "black 7-watermelon - Replay" to the winning line is aligned, RT migration officers be migrated opportunity to RT (0) (1) (1) is satisfied.

  As described above, in this embodiment, “black 7” and “net 7” constituting 12 sheets (1) to (3), 11 sheets (1) to (3), and transition roles (1) to (3) in the left reel. “White 7” has different pull-in ranges, and when winning the small roles GR (1) to (6), the left reel is set to the first stop, and the timing of the stop operation of the left reel is selected. It is possible to select whether to win a prize, 11 prizes, or to establish a transitional combination.

  On the other hand, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected, if the type is not known, whether to intentionally win 12 cards, win 11 cards, or establish a transitional role. It is impossible to select, and if the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected and the left reel is set to the first stop, there are 12 and 11 transitional combinations with a probability of 1/3, respectively. Either of these will be won or won. In the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of the small roles GR (1) to (6) are about 1/48 in RT (0) to RT (6), respectively, and the small roles GR (1) to (( 6) will win, so in RT (0) to (6), there will be approximately 12/11 probabilities, and any of 12 or 11 winning combinations will be won or established. .

  In addition, in any of the areas of the left reel, “black 7” “net” which constitutes 12 sheets (1) to (3), 11 sheets (1) to (3), and transitional roles (1) to (3) 7 ”and“ White 7 ”are drawn into one of the winning lines, and there is no area where it is possible to avoid drawing“ Black 7 ”,“ Net 7 ”and“ White 7 ”into the winning line. Therefore, it is impossible to avoid winning or establishing 12 or 11 transitional roles, and if the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected, 12 or 11 transitional roles Either will win or be won.

  In the case where a plurality of types of replaying players are simultaneously won (replay GR (1) to (3)), as shown in FIG. Control is performed to stop the re-gamer determined on the winning line in accordance with the timing of the left reel stop operation or the right reel stop operation.

  When Replay GR (1) (Replay (2) + Replay (3)) is won, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing within the “black 7” pull-in range (symbol 6-12), "Black 7-Replay-Watermelon" is aligned on any winning line, Replay (3) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (3) wins, and the left reel stop operation is "Net 7" If it is made at the timing within the drawing range (20, 0-5 symbols) or at the timing within the “white 7” drawing range (13-19 symbols), “Replay-Replay” -“Watermelon” is complete, and Replay (2), which becomes a trigger for the transition from RT (0) to RT (5), wins. As shown in FIG. 3, “black 7” constituting replay (3) on the left reel and “replay” constituting replay (2) are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less, and replay (2) ( The “replays” constituting 3) are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, and the “watermelons” constituting replays (2) and (3) on the right reel are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less. When 1) is won, one of the replays (2) and (3) always wins regardless of the timing when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated.

  If Replay GR (2) (Replay (2) + Replay (4)) is won and the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “Net 7”, “ "Net 7-Replay-Watermelon" is complete, Replay (4) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (3) wins, and the left reel stop operation is within the pull-in range of "Black 7" When the timing is within the drawing range of “White 7”, “Replay-Replay-Watermelon” is aligned on any winning line, and the replay (RT (0) to RT (5) becomes a trigger for replay ( 2) wins. As shown in FIG. 3, “black 7” constituting replay (4) in the left reel and “replay” constituting replay (2) are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less, and replay (2) ( The “replays” constituting 3) are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, and the “watermelons” constituting replays (2) and (3) on the right reel are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less. When 2) is won, one of the replays (2) and (4) always wins regardless of the timing when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated.

  If Replay GR (3) (Replay (5) + Replay (6)) is won and the right reel is stopped at a timing within the “Black Cherry” pull-in range, "Bell-Bell-Black Cherry" is complete, Replay (5) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (4) wins, and the stop operation of the right reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range of "BAR" In such a case, “Bell-Bell-BAR” is aligned on any of the winning lines, and Replay (6) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (4) wins. As shown in FIG. 3, “bells” constituting replays (5) and (6) in the right reel are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less, and “bells” constituting replays (5) and (6) in the middle reel are The “black cherry” that constitutes the replay (5) in the right reel and the “BAR” that constitutes the replay (6) are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or less in the right reel. When 3) is won, any one of the replays (5) and (6) always wins regardless of the timing when the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R are operated.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, it is possible to win any of the replays (2) to (4), but the replay GR (1) is won. Depending on whether the replay GR (2) is won or not, the timing of the left reel stop operation, which is the winning condition for the replay (3) (4), is different, and the left is the winning condition for the replay (3) (4). If the timing of the reel stop operation matches, replay (3) or replay (4) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (3) wins, but if they do not match, RT (0) Replay (2), which is the opportunity to move from RT to RT (5), will win. If it is not known whether the replay GR (1) is won or the replay GR (2) is won, it is impossible to intentionally win the replay (3) (4), and the replay GR ( 1) When any one of (2) is won, a stop operation is performed in either the operating procedure that is the winning condition for replay (3) or the operating procedure that is the winning condition for replay (4). Replay (3) or replay (4) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (3) with a probability of / 2 wins, with a probability of 1/2 from RT (0) to RT (5) The replay (2) that becomes the transition opportunity will win. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the replay GR (1) (2) is about 1 / 6.3 at RT (0), and the replay GR (1) (2) is about 1 / 3.14. Therefore, in RT (0), approximately 1 is obtained by performing stop operation in either the operation procedure that is the winning condition for replay (3) or the operating procedure that is the winning condition for replay (4). Replay (3) or Replay (4) wins with a probability of /6.3, and Replay (2) wins with a probability of about 1 / 6.3.

  In addition, when the replay GR (3) is won, the replay (5) or the replay (6) that triggers the transition from RT (0) to RT (4) always wins regardless of the procedure of the stop operation. It will be. In this embodiment, since replay GR (3) is won with a probability of about 1/94 at RT (0), replay (5) or replay (6) is about 1/94 with RT (0). Win a prize.

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

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

  In the conventional slot machine, the reel stop control pattern used when the small combination is selected independently and the reel stop control pattern used when the small combination and special combination are simultaneously selected are different from each other. Although the winning of the special role can be determined accordingly, it did not suggest any information other than the winning of the special role depending on the stop mode of the reel. In addition, in the conventional slot machine, since the stop mode at the time of winning a small role alone is different from the stop mode at the time of simultaneous winning of a small role and a special role, is the special role won according to the stop mode? If the player is able to determine whether or not he / she has not won the special role, there is a problem that the expectation is lost.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, Cherry, BB (BB (1) (2)) + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1 sheet, BB (BB (1) (2)) + Cherry + 1 sheet, RB + Cherry + 1 sheet are won. When a stop operation is performed at a stop operation position where “Cherry-ANY-ANY” can be drawn into the winning line, control is performed to align “Cherry-ANY-ANY” on the winning line. If BB + Cherry or RB + Cherry has been won, “Cherry-ANY-ANY” will be used if the “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is stopped at the stop position where the winning line can be drawn. Is controlled to align only the winning lines L2 to L5, while cherries +1, BB + cherries +1, RB + cherries +1 Is a stop operation position where “Cherry-ANY-ANY” can be aligned with any of the winning lines L1 to L5 among the stop operation positions where “Cherry-ANY-ANY” can be drawn into the winning line. If a stop operation is made at, control is performed to align "Cherry-ANY-ANY" to the winning line L1, and "Cherry-ANY-ANY" can be aligned only to the winning lines L2 to L5. Only when a stop operation is performed at a stop operation position that cannot be aligned with the line L1, "cherry-ANY-ANY" is aligned with the winning lines L2 to L5.

  That is, when the cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry are selected and the stop operation is performed at the stop position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, the “cherry” symbol is displayed only in the upper and lower rows. If the cherry is +1, BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry +1 is selected, and the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. In addition, control is performed so that the “cherry” symbols are aligned at a higher rate than the upper and lower stages.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), when cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry is won, the “cherry” symbol on the left reel stops only at the upper or lower stage, and +1 cherry, BB + If cherries + 1 and RB + cherries + 1 are selected, there is a high possibility that the “cherry” symbol will stop in the middle on the left reel. In other words, cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry are won, and cherry wins, and cherry wins when +1 cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry + 1 wins. The position where the “cherry” symbol is likely to stop on the reel is different.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, in the internal lottery, BB + cherry and RB + cherry occupy the total value (A + C + E) of the winning probabilities of cherry, BB + cherry, and RB + cherry. The winning probability of BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry +1 in the combined probability (B + D + F) of the winning probability (B + D + F) of cherries +1, BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry +1 than the ratio of the winning probability (A + C) The lottery of Cherry, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, and RB + Cherry + 1 is performed with the probability that the ratio of the total value (B + D) will be high.

  As a result, the ratio of winning BB or RB, that is, a special role at the same time, is higher when the cherry and one piece are won at the same time than when the cherry and one piece are won alone. Therefore, it is possible to give a change to the player's expectation for winning the special role depending on whether the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped in the left reel is the upper, lower or middle.

  Furthermore, it is suggested that a special role may have been won in the left reel, regardless of whether the “Cherry” symbol on the left reel is in the upper, lower or middle tier. It is impossible to determine whether or not the special role is won from the position where the symbol stopped. Even if the “Cherry” symbol stops on the upper, middle or lower part of the left reel, the special role is won. The player's expectation for what is being done is not impaired.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the winning probability of BB + cherry in the combined value (A + C) of winning probability of BB + cherry and RB + cherry in the internal lottery is shown. With the probability that the ratio of the winning value (B) of the winning probability of BB + cherry + 1 sheet in the combined value (B + D) of the winning probability of BB + cherry + 1 sheet and RB + cherry + 1 sheet becomes higher than the ratio of the combined value (A). A lottery of BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, and RB + Cherry + 1 is performed.

  As a result, a special role that can be expected to win more medals than BB, that is, RB, when cherries and one of the cherries are elected at the same time than when cherries are elected alone. At the same time, the winning percentage will increase, so the advantage of BB and RB is higher depending on whether the “Cherry” symbol on the left reel is in the upper, lower, or middle position. It is possible to change the player's expectation for winning the BB.

  Furthermore, it is impossible to determine whether the BB is won or the RB is won from the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel. Even when the player stops at any of the lower levels, the player's expectation for winning the BB having the higher advantage of BB and RB is not impaired.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, in the internal lottery, cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, when the set value is 1 to 3. The setting value is 4 than the ratio of the winning probability (B1 + D1 + F1) of cherries + 1, BB + cherries + 1, RB + cherries + 1 occupying the winning probability (A1 + B1 + C1 + D1 + E1 + F1) of RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 In the case of ~ 6, cherry +1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry +1 cherries occupying the combined value of winning probabilities (A2 + B2 + C2 + D2 + E2 + F2), BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry +1 Value of winning probability (B2 + D2 + F2 +1 cherry, cherry in the ratio is high probability of, BB + cherry, BB + +1 cherry, RB + cherry, we are doing the lottery of +1 sheet RB + cherry.

  As a result, setting values 4 to 6, that is, settings 1 to 3, are set when the cherry and one of the cherries and one watermelon are winning at the same time, rather than when the cherry and one are winning at the same time. Since the percentage of setting values that are more advantageous to the player than the case where it is displayed will increase, the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel is the upper, lower, or middle level. Thus, it can be estimated whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player.

  Furthermore, it is impossible to determine whether the setting values 1 to 3 or the settings 4 to 6 are set from the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel. Regardless of whether the “Cherry” symbol stops at the upper, middle, or lower level, the player's sense of expectation that settings 4 to 6 having higher advantages among the settings 1 to 6 are set is impaired. There is nothing.

  Further, in this embodiment, the stop operation position where the “cherry” constituting the cherry can be drawn in the left reel and the “watermelon” constituting one (1) (2) can be drawn in the left reel. Unlike the stop operation position, the stop operation cannot be performed while simultaneously aiming at these “cherry” and “watermelon” on the left reel. In addition, the cherries are won by simply stopping “Cherry” on one of the winning lines on the left reel. However, one piece (1) and (2) can be drawn simultaneously on the middle and right reels respectively. It has a pattern that does not exist: “Black 7” and “Net 7” for the middle reel, “White 7” and “Black 7” for the right reel), 1 (1), 1 (2) There is no stop operation procedure that can win both. In other words, when winning +1 cherry, if the stop operation is aimed at the “cherry” on the left reel, it is possible to win the cherry reliably, but one winning one at the same time as the cherry (1) Or 1 (2), you can only win either one (1) or 1 (2), and either one will be lost Become. For this reason, it is possible to encourage the player to perform a stop operation aiming at the cherry rather than one (1) (2), and the “cherry” of the left reel suggesting the possibility of winning a special role, etc. It is possible to effectively pay attention to the stop position.

  In this embodiment, in the internal lottery, lottery of cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 is performed, but BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, If only RB + cherry + 1 sheet is selected as a lottery object, and cherry / cherry + 1 sheet is selected, it may be selected at the same time as BB or RB.

  In this embodiment, cherries, cherries + 1 and BB and RB are both won simultaneously. However, only one of cherries, cherries + 1 and BB, RB may be won at the same time.

  In the present embodiment, cherry, BB + cherry, and RB + cherry are selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, the “cherry” symbol is displayed. Will stop only at the top and bottom, cherry + 1 sheet, BB + cherry + 1 sheet, RB + cherry + 1 sheet will be selected, and the left reel will be stopped at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped. The “Cherry” symbol is easier to stop in the middle, but is Cherry, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry selected, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 For example, in one case, the upper stage, the middle stage, and the lower stage are identified. Easily stopped at the position, it may be configured to easily stopped at a position different from the specific position in the other case.

  In the present embodiment, cherry, BB + cherry, and RB + cherry are selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, the “cherry” symbol is displayed. Is controlled to stop only in the upper and lower stages, and cherries +1, BB + cherries +1, and RB + cherries +1 are selected, and stop at the stop operation position that can stop the “cherry” symbol on the left reel. When the operation is performed, control is performed so that the “cherry” symbols are aligned at a higher rate than the upper and lower tiers, but cherry, BB + cherry, and RB + cherry are selected. When a stop operation is performed at a stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped, the “cherry” symbol is higher than the middle level. Stop operation position that allows control to align the upper and lower tiers in proportion, or cherries + 1, BB + cherries + 1, RB + cherries + 1, and can stop the “cherry” symbol on the left reel When the stop operation is performed in step S1, control may be performed so that the “cherry” symbols are aligned only in the middle stage.

  Further, in this embodiment, the ratio of the winning probability of BB + cherry, RB + cherry in the winning value of cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry in the internal lottery, and cherry + 1, BB + cherry + 1, RB + Cherries, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, with a ratio of BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1, and the sum of the winning probabilities Sheet, RB + cherry + 1 lottery, cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry is elected, and when the stop operation is made at the stop operation position that can stop the "cherry" symbol on the left reel, +1 cherry, BB + cherry +1, RB + cherry +1 The “cherry” symbol on the left reel is controlled by controlling the position where the “cherry” symbol on the left reel can be stopped at a stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped. The player's expectation for winning the special role can be changed by the difference in the position where the player stopped, but in the internal lottery, the winning probability of cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry + 1 The ratio of the winning probability of BB + Cherry + 1 and RB + Cherry + 1 in the combined value and the winning probability of BB + Cherry and RB + Cherry in the winning probability of Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry Cherries, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, B + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 lottery, Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1 and RB + Cherry + 1 are selected, and stop at the stop operation position that can stop the “Cherry” symbol on the left reel Priority is given to when the operation is performed and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel when +1 cherry, BB + cherry, RB + cherry is won. Then, by controlling the position to be stopped differently, the player's expectation for winning the special role may be changed depending on the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel.

  Also, in the internal lottery, the ratio of the sum of the winning probabilities of BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 for the winning probabilities of Cherry, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1, and Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry BB + Cherry + 1 sheet, RB + Cherry's combined probability ratio in the combined value of the winning probability of cherries, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 A lottery of cherries, BB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 is selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, and cherry + 1 , BB + Cherry + 1 sheet, RB + Cherry won, left reel The “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel by controlling the stop position so that the “cherry” symbol is stopped at a stop operation position where it can be stopped. You may make it change a player's expectation degree with respect to the winning of a special role by the difference in position.

  Also, in the internal lottery, the ratio of the winning value of BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry to the combined value of the winning probability of Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, and the ratio of the winning probability of RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 piece winning probability of the total of the winning probabilities will be different from the ratio of Cherry, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 A lottery of cherries, BB + cherry + 1, and RB + cherry are won, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, and cherry + 1 BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 is selected and left reel The “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel by controlling the stop position so that the “cherry” symbol is stopped at a stop operation position where it can be stopped. You may make it change a player's expectation degree with respect to the winning of a special role by the difference in position.

  In this embodiment, the ratio of the winning probability of BB + cherry to the winning probability of BB + cherry and RB + cherry in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of BB + cherry + 1 and RB + cherry + 1 BB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + 1 RB + Cherry + RB + Cherry + 1 If the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, and “BB + cherry + 1” and “RB + cherry + 1” are selected, and the “cherry” symbol is selected on the left reel. When a stop operation is performed at a stop operation position where it is possible to stop By controlling the position of the player to be different, the player's expectation for the winning of the BB having the higher advantage of the BB and RB is changed depending on the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel. However, in the internal lottery, the ratio of the winning probability of BB + cherry and RB + cherry to the winning probability of BB + cherry and RB + cherry + 1 and the winning probability of BB + cherry + 1 and RB + cherry BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1, and BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 Has been selected and can be used to stop the “Cherry” symbol on the left reel. Priority is given to the case where a stop operation is performed and the case where a stop operation is performed at a stop operation position where BB + cherry + 1 sheet, RB + cherry is elected and the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. By controlling the position to be stopped differently, there is a change in the player's expectation for winning BB, which has a higher advantage of BB and RB, depending on the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel. It may be possible to make it.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the internal lottery, cherries that occupy the total value of winning probabilities of cherry, cherry +1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 when the set value is 1 to 3. +1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 RB, Cherry + 1, Cherry, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry when the set value is 4-6 Cherries + Cherry + 1 + BB + Cherry + 1 + BB + Cherry + 1 + RB + Cherry + 1 + Chance + Ch + 1 + BB + Cherry + BB + Cherry + 1 RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 lottery, Cherry, BB + Ch Lee, RB + Cherry wins, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop position where the “Cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 In the left reel, control is performed so that the winning line to be preferentially aligned differs from when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. It is possible to infer whether or not the set value is advantageous to the player based on the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped. In the internal lottery, the set value is 1 to 3 Value of winning probability of cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 Cherries, cherries +1, BB + cherries, BB + cherries + 1, RB + cherries, RB + cherries +1 cherries when the set value is 4-6 rather than the ratio of the winning probability of cherries, BB + cherries, RB + cherries Cherries, cherries +1, BB + cherries, BB + cherries + 1, RB + cherries, RB + cherries + 1 And +1 Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry + 1 are selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “Cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry won The “Cherry” symbol has been stopped on the left reel by controlling the winning line to be preferentially aligned between the case where the “Cherry” symbol is stopped at the stop operation position where the symbol can be stopped. It may be possible to infer whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player based on the difference in position.

  In addition, when the setting value is 1 to 3 or the setting value is 4 to 6, the winning probability of cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 Cherries + 1 cherry, cherries + 1 cherry, BB + cherry, BB + when the set value is 1 to 3 or the set value is 4 to 6 than the ratio of the combined probability of winning probability of cherries +1, BB + cherry, RB + cherry Cherries + 1 Cherry, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + Cherry + Cherry + +1 + BB + Cherry , BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 , BB + Cherry + 1 and RB + Cherry + 1 are selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “Cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, Cherry + 1 sheet, BB + Cherry, RB + By controlling so that the winning line to be preferentially aligned differs from when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. It may be possible to infer whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player by the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the reel.

  In addition, when the setting value is 1 to 3 or the setting value is 4 to 6, the winning probability of cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 Cherries +1, BB + Cherry +1, BB + Cherry +1, RB + Cherry winning probability ratio of 1 to 3 or 4 to 6 BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1, +1 Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry win probability Sheet, BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 Cherry, BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 is selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “Cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1 Sheets, RB + cherry is selected, and the winning line to be preferentially aligned is controlled differently from when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. Thus, it may be possible to infer whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player based on the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel.

  In addition, when the setting value is 1 to 3 or the setting value is 4 to 6, the winning probability of cherry, cherry + 1, BB + cherry, BB + cherry + 1, RB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 Cherries, cherries +1, BB + cherry when the set value is 1 to 3 or the set value is 4 to 6 than the ratio of the combined value of winning probability of cherries +1, BB + cherry, RB + cherry + 1 BB + Cherry +1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry +1 cherries occupying the combined value of winning probabilities BB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 Sheet, BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, and RB + Cherry are selected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “Cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, Cherry + 1, BB + Cherry + 1 Sheets, RB + cherry is selected, and the winning line to be preferentially aligned is controlled differently from when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel. Thus, it may be possible to infer whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player based on the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the left reel.

  Also, in this embodiment, whether or not the set value is advantageous to the player due to the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel, regardless of whether or not the special role is won. In the internal lottery, BB + Cherry occupies the total value of the winning probabilities of BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 in the internal lottery. BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1, and BB + when the set value is 4-6 than the ratio of the combined value of the winning probability of +1, RB + Cherry + 1 BB + Cherry, BB + Cherry + 1, with the probability that the combined value of winning probability of +1 Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 will be higher RB + Cherry, RB + Cherry + 1 lottery and when the setting value is 1-3, the ratio of the winning probability of +1 cherry and cherries in the combined value of the winning probability of Cherry, Cherry + 1, and the setting value is 4 to In the case of 6, the ratio of the probability of winning cherries + 1 for the combined probability of winning cherries and cherries + 1 is the same as the ratio of the winning probabilities of cherries + 1 cherries, cherry, BB + cherry, RB + Cherry is elected, and when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped on the left reel, and +1 cherry, BB + cherry + 1, and RB + cherry + 1 are elected. In the left reel, priority is given to when the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where the “cherry” symbol can be stopped. The winning line to be aligned may be controlled differently, and in this way, on the condition that BB or RB is won at the same time, the difference in the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel Thus, it can be estimated whether or not the set value is a set value advantageous to the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, the position where the “cherry” symbol is likely to stop on the left reel is different between the case where the set value is set 1 to 3 and the case where the set value 4 to 6 is set. It suffices that at least one set value of the plurality of types of set values and at least one other set value have different positions where the “cherry” symbol is likely to stop on the left reel.

  Further, in this embodiment, when BB or RB is elected, among the winning lines L1 to L5, BB and RB having higher advantage are elected and set 1 to 1 By making it easy to align “Cherry-ANY-ANY” on the winning line L1 where “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is easy to align when settings 4 to 6 having higher advantage among 6 are set, BB or This suggests that there is a high possibility that an RB has been won, a BB with a higher advantage than the RB is more likely to be won, and a setting value with a higher advantage is likely to be set. It is preferable because when the cherries win, it is possible to give a sharpness to the player's expectation of being in an advantageous state, but when BB or RB is elected, Among the prize lines L1 to L5, when BB having higher advantage is elected among BB and RB, or when setting 4 to 6 having higher advantage among the settings 1 to 6 is set Possibility that BB or RB is elected by making “Cherry-ANY-ANY” easy to line up on a winning line different from the line where “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is easy to line up at least in either case Even if it is not suggested that there is a high value, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that at least one of the possibility that a BB with a higher advantage than RB is elected or a setting value with a higher advantage is set. Therefore, there is no suggestion that there is a high possibility that at least one of the possibility that a BB having a higher advantage than RB is elected or a setting value having a higher advantage is set. Even if, for so that the effect is likely to BB has won is suggested, on the one hand, it can be disadvantageous possibilities are suggested to expect advantageous possibility, on the other hand.

  In addition, in the case where a BB with higher advantage is elected among BB and RB, among the winning lines L1 to L5, when BB or RB is elected, or more advantageous among the settings 1 to 6 In the case where at least one of the high settings 4 to 6 is set, the “cherry-ANY-ANY” is made easy to be aligned on a pay line different from the pay line where the “cherry-ANY-ANY” is easily aligned Therefore, even if it is not suggested that there is a high possibility that a BB with higher advantage than RB is winning, a possibility that BB or RB is winning or a setting value with high advantage may be set. It is suggested that there is a high possibility that at least one of the sexes is high, and there is a low possibility that the BB or RB is elected or a highly advantageous setting value is set. Even if it is not suggested that one possibility is high, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that a BB with a higher advantage than RB is elected. Can also be expected to be advantageous on the other hand.

  In addition, in the case where settings 4 to 6 having higher advantages among the settings 1 to 6 are set, among the winning lines L1 to L5, when BB or RB is won, or among BB and RB In the case where at least one of the BBs with higher advantages is elected, “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is easily arranged on a winning line different from the winning line on which “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is easily arranged. Even if it is not suggested that there is a high possibility that a setting value with high advantage is set, there is a possibility that BB or RB is winning or a BB with higher advantage than RB is winning This suggests that there is a high possibility that at least one of the sexes is high, and there is a low possibility that BB or RB has won or that BB with higher advantage than RB has won. Even if it is not suggested that at least one possibility is high, it is suggested that there is a high possibility that a highly advantageous setting value is set. Can also be expected to be advantageous on the other hand.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, the winning combination of the special combination + cherry + 1 sheet occupying the combined probability (d + h) of the winning probability of +1 cherry, the special combination + cherry + 1 sheet, is shown. The ratio of the combined probability (d) is the highest, followed by the ratio of the winning combination of the special role + cherry (c) in the combined probability (c + g) of cherry, special role + cherry, The ratio of the combined value of the winning probability of the special role + bell (b) in the combined value (b + f) of the winning probability of the bell and the special role + Bell is high, followed by the winning of the replay (1) and the special role + replay (1). Cherry, cherry +1, bell, replay (1), special role + cherry at the probability that the combined value (e) of the winning combination of special role + replay (1) occupying the total probability value (a + e) Special role + cherry + 1 piece, special Role + bell, is doing the lottery of special auditors + Replay (1).

  As a result, when +1 cherry is won at the same time, that is, when the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel is the middle row, the percentage of winning the special role is the highest, and then the cherry is won alone. If the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel is the upper or lower position, the percentage of winning the special role is high, and then the bell is elected, ie “Bell-Bell -When "Bell" is aligned with any winning line, the percentage of winning the special role is high, then when Replay (1) is won, that is, "Replay-Replay-Replay" is either winning line The percentage of winning a special role will increase when they meet the requirements. For this reason, if the winning small role is a cherry or if the winning small role is a cherry, the winning combination of the special role depends on whether the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the left reel is the upper, lower, or middle level. It is possible to give a change to the degree of expectation of the player.

  9 (e) and 9 (f) show a modification of the present invention. In this modified example, when BB (1) + cherry and BB (2) + cherry are won, the “cherry” symbol on the left reel stops at the upper or lower stage, and BB (1) + cherry + 1 sheet When BB (2) + Cherry + 1 is won, there is a high possibility that the “cherry” symbol will stop in the middle on the left reel. In other words, BB (1) + cherry, BB (2) + cherry are elected, and when cherries win, BB (1) + cherry + 1 sheet, BB (2) + cherry + 1 sheet are elected, The position where the “cherry” symbol is likely to stop on the left reel (winning line) differs from when the cherry wins.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (f)-(1) (2), BB occupies the total value (B + D) of the winning probabilities of BB (1) + cherry + 1 and BB (2) + cherry + 1 in the internal lottery. (1) + Cherry + BB (1) + Cherry in the combined value (A + C) of the winning probability of BB (1) + Cherry and BB (2) + Cherry than the ratio of the winning value (B) of the winning probability of 1 sheet BB (2) + cherry winning probability combined value of BB (1) + cherry, BB (2) + cherry winning probability combined value (A + C) is high. The sum of the winning probabilities of BB (2) + cherry + 1 in the winning probabilities (B + D) of BB (1) + cherry + 1 and BB (2) + cherry + 1 The probability that the ratio of D) will be high, BB (1) + cheri , BB (2) + Cherry, BB (1) + +1 cherry, are doing the BB (2) + Cherry +1 piece of lottery.

  In this case, if the “Cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower level, it is highly likely that BB (1) has won internally, and if the “Cherry” symbol stops at the middle level, BB (2) Is likely to have won internally.

  That is, when the production mode A is selected when the cherry prize is generated, the average acquisition of the number of notification states described later is greater when the “cherry” symbol is stopped at the upper or lower stage than when the “cherry” symbol is stopped at the middle stage. It is highly possible that BB (1) with a large number of times has been won internally, and when the production mode B is selected when a cherry prize is generated, than when the “cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower level However, it is more likely that BB (2) having a larger average number of notification statuses is winning internally when the train stops in the middle.

  Thus, the ratio of BB (1) + cherry winning probability combined value (A) to the winning probability combined value (A + C) of BB (1) + cherry, BB (2) + cherry, and BB (1 ) + Cherry + 1 sheet, BB (2) + Cherry + 1 sheet winning probability combined value (B + D) of the ratio of BB (1) + Cherry + 1 sheet winning probability combined value (B) is different, When a cherry wins, the expectation of the number of notification state acquisitions can be changed by the winning line where the “cherry” symbol is stopped and the production modes A to C selected at that time. it can.

  In addition, even if the “Cherry” symbol stops in the upper or lower row or the “Cherry” symbol stops in the middle row, both BBs are won internally, but the position where the “Cherry” symbol stops (winning) It is impossible to determine which of BB (1) or BB (2) was won internally from (line), and the player for BB's internal winning is no matter where the “Cherry” symbol stops. The feeling of expectation will not be spoiled.

  Next, the sub CPU 91a executes a small role notification effect for notifying the type of the selected small role when the small role is won. In the small role announcement production, small role announcement patterns corresponding to each of the production modes A to C are registered, and the proportion when the special role is won is higher than when the special role is not won. Since it is executed, the possibility of winning the special role is suggested by executing the small role notification effect.

  In addition, the small role notification effect includes a first small role notification effect and a second small role notification effect, and the sub CPU 91a selects one of the selected small type notification effects when executing the small role notification effect. Perform small role announcement production. At this time, when the special role is won, the ratio of the second small role notification effect being selected is higher than when the special role is not won, so the second small role notification effect is executed. Then, it is suggested that there is a higher possibility of winning the special role than when the first small role notification effect is executed.

  In addition, the ratio of the second small role announcement effect is higher when the cherry and one of the cherries are elected at the same time than when the cherry and one are elected at the same time. There is a link between the possibility that the special role suggested by the position where the “cherry” symbol stops on the reel, the possibility that a special role with high advantage is won, and the type of small role announcement production, These reel display modes and effects can synergistically increase the player's expectation for winning the special role and winning the special role with high advantage.

  Further, when executing the small role notification effect, the sub CPU 91a selects the start timing, and starts the small role notification effect from the selected timing. There are four start timings at the start of the game, at the first stop, at the second stop, and at the third stop. When the special role is won, the ratio at which the third stop is selected is Since the ratio decreases in the order of the second stop, the first stop, and the start of the game, it seems that the possibility of winning the special role is the highest when starting from the third stop It is suggested that the possibility decreases in the order of the third stop, the second stop, and the first stop.

  In addition, the ratio of the second stop and the third stop is higher when the cherry and one of the cherries are won at the same time than when the cherries and one are selected at the same time. , The possibility that the special role suggested by the position where the “cherry” symbol stopped on the left reel is elected, the possibility that a special role with high advantage is elected, and the start timing of the small role announcement production Link and synergize the player's expectation that a special role win, a special role win with high advantage, and a set value with high advantage are set according to the display mode of these reels and the start timing of production Can be increased.

  In addition, when a special combination is won by internal lottery, the sub CPU 91a executes a confirmed effect (notification effect) for notifying that the special combination has been won and the type of the selected special combination. In the confirmed effect, a confirmed notification pattern corresponding to each of the effect modes A to C is registered, and in the game (established game) in which the special role is internally won, the special role selection suggestion effect described later is not won, and This is executed when the special winning combination is not carried in the game and the internal winning flag of the special winning combination is carried over after the next game.

  Specifically, in the game after the established game, the final effect lottery is executed until the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped on condition that the special role winning suggestion effect described later is not executed. Then, only when the confirmed effect lottery is won, the start timing is selected, and the confirmed effect is started at the selected timing. The start timing is four timings at the start of the game, at the first stop, at the second stop, and at the third stop, and BB (1) is internally won when the production mode A is selected in the established game In the case where BB (2) is internally won when the effect mode B is selected or when the RB is internally won when the effect mode C is selected (the average number of notification states obtained later is the highest) If it is larger), the ratio selected at the time of the third stop is the highest, and then the ratio decreases in the order of the second stop, the first stop, and the start of the game. It is suggested that the average number of notification states obtained is high, and the possibility decreases in the order of the third stop, the second stop, and the first stop.

  In this embodiment, finalized notification patterns corresponding to the respective production modes A to C are registered in advance, and when the finalization lottery is won, the production modes A to C selected at that time are selected. A confirmed effect based on the corresponding confirmed notification pattern was executed, but when effect mode A was selected in the established game, BB (1) was won internally or effect mode B was selected When BB (2) wins an internal win while playing or when RB wins an internal when mode C is selected, the mode selected at that time is higher than in other cases. A confirmed effect based on a confirmed notification pattern corresponding to a different effect mode may be executed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the control is performed to any one of RT (0) to (6) except during BB or RB.

  RT (0) determines whether any of the transition roles (1) to (3) is established in RT (1) (4), or digests the specified number of games in RT (2) (3) (5). (2) When the (3) and (5) are finished, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (0), whether any special role is won or replays (2) to (6 ), Continue until any one of 12 (1) to (3) wins, either special role wins and moves to RT (6), or replay (2) wins and RT (5 ), Replay (3) (4) wins and goes to RT (3), RT (5) (6) wins and goes to RT (4), or 12 (1 ) To (3) wins and the process is terminated when the process proceeds to RT (2). The winning probability of replay (1) at RT (0) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), and the medal payout rate per game (the winning probability of the target role x the total number of payouts / Replays (3) (4), which is a role that is not eligible for lottery in RT (1) to (6) and triggers the transition to RT (3) Replay GR (1) (2) that can win a prize and Replay GR (3) that can win a replay (5) (6) that triggers the transition to RT (4) are high. Wins with probability (Replay GR (1): about 1 / 6.3, Replay GR (2): About 1 / 6.3, Replay GR (3): About 1 / 93.6).

  RT (1) moves after the end of BB or RB, and regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (1), any special role is won or 12 (1) to (3) Will continue until one of the winners wins or one of the transitional roles (1) to (3) is established, and either one of the special roles wins and moves to RT (6) or 12 (1) When (3) wins and shifts to RT (2), or any of the transition roles (1) to (3) is established and shifts to RT (0), the process ends. The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (1) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and replay GR (1) to (3) Is not eligible for lottery.

  RT (2) shifts when any one of 12 (1) to (3) wins in RT (0) (1) (4), and the specified number of games (5000 G in this embodiment) is consumed. The process is terminated when the process proceeds to RT (0) or the special role is won and the process proceeds to RT (6). The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (2) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and replay GR (1) to (3) Is not eligible for lottery.

  RT (3) shifts when one of the replays (3) (4) wins at RT (0), is the specified number of games (30G in this embodiment) consumed and shifts to RT (0)? It ends when the special role is elected and moves to RT (6). The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (3) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.48), the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more, and replay GR (1) to (3) Is not eligible for lottery.

  RT (4) shifts when one of the replays (5) or (6) wins at RT (0), regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (4). Will continue until one of the 12 (1) to (3) wins or one of the transitional roles (1) to (3) is established. Either the transition to RT (6), the 12 sheets (1) to (3) wins and the transition to RT (2), or one of the transition roles (1) to (3) is established and RT (0 ) To end. The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (4) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.34), the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more, and replay GR (1) to (3) Is not eligible for lottery.

  RT (5) shifts when replay (2) wins at RT (0) and either the specified number of games (999G in this embodiment) is consumed and then shifts to RT (0), or a special role is won. Then, the process ends by moving to RT (6). The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (3) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and replay GR (1) to (3) Is not eligible for lottery.

  RT (6) moves when a special combination is won in any of RT (0) to (5), and the selected special combination wins regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (6). The game is continued until the winning special combination wins and moves to BB or RB. The winning probability of replay (1) in RT (6) is a high probability (about 1 / 2.43), lower than RT (3) (4), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Yes, but higher than RT (0)-(2) (5). Replay GRs (1) to (3) are not subject to lottery.

  Among these RT (0) to RT (6), the winning probabilities of replay (1) in RT (0) (1) (2) (5) are different, but the difference is very small, which is almost the same probability. .

  In addition, the winning probabilities for special roles in RT (0) to (5) and the winning probabilities for small roles are the same. In RT (6), special roles are not subject to lottery. , RT (0) to (5) have the same probability.

  Of these RT (0) to (5), RT (3) (4) has a higher replay (1) win probability than RT (0) (1) (2) (5) (6), Since the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more, the gaming state is relatively advantageous as compared with RT (0) (1) (2) (5) (6).

  RT (0) has a replay (1) winning probability that is substantially the same as RT (1) (2) (5), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, but the replay GR (1) to (3) are selected with high probability (replay GR (1) (2): about 1 / 3.14, replay GR (3): about 1/94), and the payout rate of medals per game Is more likely than RT (1) (2) (5) and has the possibility of shifting to RT (3) (4) which is advantageous for the player who does not shift directly from RT (1) (2) (5). Therefore, it becomes a relatively advantageous gaming state compared with RT (1) (2) (5).

  RT (1) has a replay (1) winning probability that is almost the same probability as RT (2) (5), the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, and the medals per game The payout rate is substantially the same as RT (2) (5), but there is a possibility of shifting to RT (3) (4), which is more advantageous to the player than RT (2) (5). It can be expected to migrate (RT (2) does not migrate to RT (0) except when digested with 5000G and RT (5) with 999G, whereas RT (1) has about 1 / Since the transitional roles (1) to (3) established with a probability of 24 are established, the game moves to RT (0). Therefore, the game is relatively advantageous compared to RT (2) (5). It becomes a state.

  In RT (2) (5), the winning probability of replay (1) is almost the same as that of RT (1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, so that medals are paid out per game. The rate is almost the same as RT (1), but it cannot be expected to shift to RT (0), which may shift to RT (3) (4), which is more advantageous to the player than RT (1). , The gaming state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (1). In addition, RT (5) shifts to RT (0) by digestion with 999G, whereas RT (2) does not shift to RT (0) until 5000G digestion. Becomes a relatively unfavorable gaming state compared to RT (2).

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when a special role is elected in any one of RT (0) to (5), the state shifts to RT (6). When the special combination wins, the process shifts to BB or RB. When BB or RB ends, the process shifts to RT (1).

  In RT (1), when any of the transition roles (1) to (3) is established, the transition is made to RT (0), which may shift to RT (3) (4), which is advantageous to the player. Also, if any of the 12 cards (1) to (3) wins, it shifts to RT (2), which is disadvantageous for the player, and once it shifts to RT (2), the special role is won or the prescribed number of games There is no transition to other RTs until digestion. The transition combination (1) to (3) or 12 (1) to (3) can be established or won when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won, and the small role GR (1 )-(6), 12 (1)-(3) and transitional roles (1)-(3) are won or established with a probability of 1/3 each. A transition to either RT (0) or RT (2) will be made with a probability of 1/3 when GR (1) to (6) are won. Note that there is no direct transition from RT (1) to RT (3) to (5).

  In RT (0), replay (3) or replay (4) wins to move to RT (3), which is advantageous to the player, and after shifting to RT (3), a special role is won After digesting the specified number of games (30G), the process returns to RT (0) again. After replay (2) wins, RT (3), which is advantageous for the player, does not move to RT (3), which is disadvantageous for the player, shifts to RT (5), and after the prescribed number of games (999G) is consumed, Return to RT (0). Replays (2) to (4) can be awarded when the replay GR (1) or the replay GR (2) is won. When the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the replay (3) If the stop operation is performed in either the operation procedure that is the winning condition of the game or the operation procedure that is the winning condition of the replay (4), the replay (3) or the replay (4) wins with a probability of 1/2. Since the replay (2) wins with the probability of / 2, when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the operation procedure that becomes the winning condition of the replay (3) and the operation procedure that becomes the winning condition of the replay (4) By performing the stop operation at any one of the positions, it shifts to either RT (3) which is advantageous to the player or RT (5) which is disadvantageous to the player with a probability of 1/2.

  In RT (0), when Replay (5) (6) wins, it shifts to RT (4) which is advantageous to the player. Since replays (5) and (6) always win when the replay GR (3) is won, the game always shifts to RT (4) which is advantageous to the player when the replay GR (3) is won.

  Also, at RT (0), any of the 12 cards (1) to (3) wins to shift to RT (2), which is disadvantageous for the player, and once it shifts to RT (2), the special role is won You will not move to another RT until you have exhausted the specified number of games. Twelve (1) to (3) can be awarded when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won, and 1/3 when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are selected. 12 (1) to (3) wins with the probability of, so in RT (0), it shifts to RT (2) with a probability of 1/3 of when the small role GR (1) to (6) is won It will be.

  In RT (4), when any of the transition roles (1) to (3) is established, the player returns to RT (0) again, and any of the 12 cards (1) to (3) wins a player. The transition to RT (2), which is disadvantageous to the user, is not transferred to another RT until the special role is won or the specified number of games is exhausted once the transition to RT (2) is made. The transition combination (1) to (3) or 12 (1) to (3) can be established or won when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won, and the small role GR (1 ) To (6), 12 (1) to (3) and transitional roles (1) to (3) are won or established with a probability of 1/3 each. A transition to either RT (0) or RT (2) will be made with a probability of 1/3 when GR (1) to (6) are won.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when staying at RT (1), there is no direct transition to RT (3) or RT (4), which is advantageous to the player, and RT (1) to RT (1). When shifting to (3) or RT (4), the transition is always made via RT (0) that transitions when a transition combination that is not necessarily established at RT (1) is established. Furthermore, even when shifting from RT (0) to RT (3), RT (4), it is necessary to win a replay (3) or a replay (4) that does not necessarily hold at RT (0). That is, in order to shift from RT (1) to RT (3) or RT (4), it is necessary to satisfy a plurality of conditions that are not necessarily satisfied, so RT (3) or The game performance until the transition to RT (4) does not become monotonous, and the interest until the transition from RT (1) to RT (3) or RT (4) can be effectively enhanced.

  In this embodiment, the establishment of the transitional combination is applied as the condition for shifting from RT (1) to RT (0), but the condition for shifting from RT (1) to RT (0) is not necessarily satisfied. If the conditions are not limited, the above effect can be obtained. The condition that is not necessarily satisfied is a condition other than a condition that is 100% satisfied in RT (1) (for example, a case where the transition condition to RT (0) is only that a specified number of games have passed), that is, RT Other conditions (in this embodiment, 11 or 12 winnings) that do not shift to RT (0) along with the conditions that shift from (1) to RT (0) can be satisfied, and RT (1) to RT It is only necessary that the condition for shifting to (0) is uncertain. For example, winning a lottery that does not include a winning probability of 100% in RT (1), a specific operation among a plurality of operation procedures Even if the transition condition from RT (1) to RT (0) is satisfied when the specified number of games have elapsed, RT (0) Conditions that do not shift to If such winning specific combination) can be established, it corresponds to the condition that not necessarily such even condition necessarily satisfied.

  In this embodiment, the winnings of replays (3) to (6) are applied as conditions for shifting from RT (0) to RT (3) and RT (4), but RT (0) to RT (3) The above effect can be obtained if the condition for shifting to RT (4) is not necessarily established. The condition that is not necessarily satisfied is a condition other than a condition that is 100% satisfied in RT (0) (for example, a case where the transition condition to RT (3) (4) is only that a specified number of games have passed). In other words, the conditions for shifting from RT (0) to RT (3), RT (4) and other conditions not shifting to RT (3), RT (4) (in this embodiment, 12 sheets, replay (2) winning) ) Can be satisfied, and it is only necessary that the condition for shifting from RT (0) to RT (3), RT (4) is uncertain. For example, the winning probability at RT (0) For example, winning a lottery that does not include 100%, stopping a specific operating procedure among a plurality of operating procedures, and the like, and further changing from RT (0) to RT (3) and RT (4). The transition condition of the Even if such a condition is satisfied, it is not always true if other conditions that do not shift to RT (3) or RT (4) (for example, winning of a specific role) can be satisfied. This is not always the case.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration is such that RT (3) and RT (4), which are advantageous to the player, are directly shifted from RT (0), but from RT (0) to RT (3) and RT (4). In the case of transition, what is shifted to RT (3), RT (4) through another gaming state that shifts when a predetermined condition that is uncertain that is satisfied in RT (0) is satisfied, that is, In a configuration for shifting to RT (3) and RT (4) through another gaming state, and further to a configuration for shifting from RT (0) to RT (3) and RT (4) through a plurality of gaming states Even in such a configuration, in order to shift from RT (1) to RT (3) or RT (4), it is necessary to satisfy a plurality of conditions that are not necessarily satisfied. Therefore, RT (3) and RT (4) are advantageous for the player Without gameplay until migration is monotonized, it is possible to enhance the interest of the RT (1) until the migration to RT (3) and RT (4) effectively.

  Also, in this embodiment, when RT and (1) 11 and 12 are won at the same time, when the transition combination derived when both 11 and 12 won are lost, RT ( 1) When RT (0) is entered, 11 and 12 cards are won at RT (1) at the same time, and both 11 and 12 cards are missed and a medal cannot be obtained. Even so, since RT (0) that can be shifted to RT (3) (4), which is advantageous to the player, is transferred to RT (1), 11 (1) and 12 (2 ) Is won at the same time, it will be profitable to the player regardless of whether or not the 11 or 12 won are missed.

  In this embodiment, 11 and 12 are simultaneously elected in RT (1), and when the transition combination derived when both 11 and 12 elected are missed is established, RT ( 1) to RT (0), but the transition condition from RT (1) to RT (0) is not limited to this, and it may be a prize for a specific general role, Only one game may be a single bonus (hereinafter referred to as SB) winning with a single bonus that increases the winning probability of a small role more than RT (0) to RT (6). Further, the present invention is not limited to the case where these winning combinations are won alone, but may be configured to shift from RT (1) to RT (0) when a combined winning occurs due to the simultaneous combination of a plurality of winning combinations on the winning line. good.

  In RT (1), 11 and 12 cards with different operating procedures as the winning conditions in RT (1) are simultaneously won, and when 11 of them with a small number of payouts are won, RT (1) to RT (0) In this way, when a plurality of types of small roles with different payout numbers are simultaneously elected, and a small role with a smaller payout number among the selected small roles is won, that is, Even if the number of medals that can be acquired is small, the game shifts to RT (0) that can be transferred to RT (3) (4), which is advantageous to the player. If 1) and 12 (2) are won at the same time, it will be beneficial to the player regardless of whether or not the 11 and 12 won are missed. In addition, in such a configuration, it is preferable that a small role with a small number of payouts to be transferred to RT (0) is always won simultaneously with a small role or special role with a large payout number, SB, etc. In this way, when it is not possible to shift to RT (0), medals or BBs that are more advantageous to the player than the small role that is always a condition for shifting to RT (0) Since RB and SB are given, it is advantageous for the player in any case.

  Further, in this embodiment, when 12 cards are won at RT (0), the player does not shift to RT (3) (4), which is advantageous to the player, and is more replayed than RT (3) (4). The transition is to RT (2), which is a relatively disadvantageous game player with a low probability of winning. From RT (1), only RT (0) that triggers the transition to RT (3) (4). In addition, since 12 cards are won before the transitional role is established, the game may shift to RT (2), which is disadvantageous for the player. An entertaining game can be provided.

  In this embodiment, 12 winnings are applied as a condition for shifting from RT (1) to RT (2), which is disadvantageous to the player. However, other small roles, re-games, and SB winnings are applied. Further, it may be configured to shift to RT (2) when a specific stop mode derived at the time of missing is obtained.

  Even if RT (1) is maintained without transition from RT (1) to RT (2), RT (1) is maintained until the transition condition to RT (0) is satisfied. good.

  In RT (0), there is a possibility that both RT (5) where no increase in medals can be expected and RT (3) where an increase in medals can be expected. Since RT (3) returns to RT (0) again after completion, once the transition from RT (0) to RT (3) occurs, the opportunity to transition to RT (3) again even after RT (3) is completed. Thus, it is possible to periodically control to RT (3). On the other hand, when transitioning from RT (0) to RT (5), transition to RT (3) does not occur until the RT (5) is terminated, but when RT (5) is terminated, RT (0) is set again. Therefore, even in such a case, an opportunity to periodically shift to RT (3) comes. That is, RT (0) functions as a chance zone that can be shifted to RT (3) where an increase in medals can be expected, and even when such a chance zone shifts to RT (5), it shifts to RT (3). Even if you move, you will visit periodically.

  In RT (0), there is a possibility of shifting to either RT (3) or RT (4) where an increase in medals can be expected. On the other hand, if it moves to RT (4), it will continue until a transfer combination is formed and it returns to RT (0) again or 12 sheets wins and it moves to RT (2). . That is, since RT (0) shifts to RT which is advantageous for a plurality of types of players having different end conditions, the game flow does not become monotonous.

  In this embodiment, when replay (3) or replay (4) wins, the process shifts to RT (3), and when replay (5) or replay (6) wins, the process shifts to RT (4). However, the opportunity to transition to RT, which is advantageous for these players, is not limited to the winnings of these replays (3) to (5), but may be winnings of other roles or specific roles. It may be that a specific stop mode derived when the error is missed is established.

  In addition, RT (3) is subject to the condition that either one of the replays GR (1) or (2) has been won and the stop operation has been performed in the operation procedure that is the winning condition for the replays (3) and (4). However, the transition to RT (3) may be made at the time of a stop mode that is always derived, regardless of the operation procedure of the stop operation, when a specific combination is won.

  Further, in RT (0), it is possible to shift to RT that is advantageous for a plurality of types of players with different end conditions, but any configuration that can shift to at least one type of advantageous RT is acceptable. .

  Also, in RT (0), the replay (2) wins to shift to RT (5), which is disadvantageous for the player, and by winning 12 cards, it is more disadvantageous for the player than RT (5). Although it is the structure which transfers to RT (2), the structure which transfers to only one disadvantageous RT from RT (0) may be sufficient. In addition, the replay (2) to be transferred to RT (5) is won at the same time as the replay (3) or replay (4) to be transferred to RT (3) which is advantageous to the player. However, each may be won separately. Moreover, the structure which does not transfer to RT (2) and RT (5) disadvantageous for a player from RT (0) may be sufficient.

  In this embodiment, after the completion of BB or RB, the process shifts to RT (1). However, in RT (2) and RT (5), the transfer condition (special combination winning, specific combination missing) A configuration may be adopted in which a transition to RT (1) is made when a specific stop mode derived from time to time is established.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won, any of 12 cards, 11 cards, and a transitional combination can be won or established.

  As described above, the transition to RT (0), which is likely to shift to RT (3) (4), which is advantageous to the player by establishing a transition combination in RT (1), won 12 cards. Then, until the special role is won or until the specified number of games is exhausted, it will shift to RT (2) which does not shift to another RT, so in RT (1), small roles GR (1) to ( When 6) is won, the transition to RT (2) can be avoided and the transition to RT (0) can be avoided by establishing a transitional combination without winning 12 cards.

  Also, as described above, when 12 cards are won even at RT (0), the game shifts to RT (2) which does not shift to another RT until the special role is won or the prescribed number of games is exhausted. Therefore, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won at RT (0), the transition to RT (2) can be avoided by avoiding 12 winnings. Furthermore, in RT (0), when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected, the player shifts to RT (2) by winning 11 and wins 11 more medals. It is also possible.

  In addition, as described above, when 12 cards are won in RT (4), the game shifts to RT (2) which does not shift to another RT until the special role is won or the prescribed number of games is exhausted. In addition, when the transitional combination is established, it returns to RT (0) which is more disadvantageous than RT (4). Therefore, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected in RT (4), 12 sheets It is possible to avoid the transition to RT (2) by avoiding the winning of, and it is also possible to avoid returning to RT (0) by avoiding the formation of the transitional combination. Furthermore, in RT (4), when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected, the transition to RT (2) and the return to RT (0) are avoided by winning 11 cards, In addition, eleven medals can be obtained.

  In addition, as described above, in RT (3), even if 12 cards are won, there is no transition to another gaming state. Therefore, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won in RT (3) In addition, 12 medals can be obtained by winning 12.

  However, if any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won, if the type is not known, intentionally avoiding 12 winnings, intentionally establishing a transitional role, Therefore, it is impossible to avoid the establishment of the transitional combination and to deliberately win eleven, and the transitional combination is won or established with a probability of 1/3, respectively.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the replay GR (1) is won, either the replay (2) or the replay (3) can be won, and when the replay GR (2) is won, the replay Either (2) or replay (4) can be won.

  As mentioned above, the replay (3) or replay (4) wins at RT (0) and the player moves to RT (3), which is advantageous to the player. Since it will shift to RT (5) which does not shift to other RT until the specified number of games is exhausted, either of replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (0) In this case, replay (3) or replay (4) is won without winning replay (2), thereby avoiding transition to RT (5) and shifting to RT (3). be able to.

  However, when either of the replays GR (1) (2) is won and the type is not known, the replay (3) or the replay (4) is won by intentionally avoiding the replay (2). This is impossible, and replay (3) or replay (4) wins with a probability of 1/2, but replay (2) wins with a probability of 1/2.

  On the other hand, when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) wins at RT (0) (1) (3) (4), the sub CPU 91a replays GR (1) at RT (0). When any one of (2) is won, it is possible to perform an operation procedure notification for notifying an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player in accordance with the type of the selected small role GR or replay GR.

  The operation procedure notification notifies an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player by notifying the color or pattern of “7” to be stopped on the left reel.

  Specifically, when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won in RT (1), the transition to RT (2) is avoided by establishing the transition role, and RT (0 ), When the small role GR (1) (3) is elected, the white indicating the “white 7” that is a condition for the transitional role (3) is notified, and the small role GR (2 ) When (5) is won, a network pattern indicating “Net 7”, which is a condition for establishing the transitional role (2), is notified, and when winning the minor role GR (4) (6), the transitional role (1) A black color indicating “black 7”, which is a condition for satisfying the above, is notified.

  When the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won at RT (0), it is possible to avoid shifting to RT (2) by winning 11 cards, and to acquire medals. At the time of winning the small role GR (1) (6), a net pattern indicating “net 7”, which is a condition for winning 11 (2), is notified, and at the time of winning the small role GR (2) (4), When the winning combination of the small role GR (3) (5) is notified, a white color indicating "white 7" which is a condition for winning 11 sheets (3) is won, and "black 7" is a condition for winning 11 sheets (1). ”Indicating black color.

  When the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won in RT (3), a medal can be obtained by winning 12 cards without shifting to another gaming state. ) When (2) is won, a black color indicating “Black 7”, which is a condition for winning 12 (1), is notified, and when winning the small role GR (3) (4), 12 (2) A white pattern that suggests “white 7”, which is a condition for winning 12 sheets (3), is notified when a net pattern indicating “net 7”, which is a condition for winning a prize, is won by the small role GR (5) (6). Is notified.

  When the small roles GR (1) to (6) are elected in RT (4), it is determined that winning the eleven pieces will shift to RT (2) and return to RT (0). Since it is possible to avoid and acquire medals, when winning the small role GR (1) (6), a net pattern indicating “net 7”, which is a condition for winning 11 (2), is notified, and the small role GR (2) At the time of winning (4), 11 white (3) will be notified of the white that suggests "White 7", which is the condition for winning, and at the time of winning the small role GR (3) (5), 11 (1 ) Is notified of black indicating “black 7” which is a condition for winning.

  When replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (0), avoiding the transition to RT (5) by winning Replay (3) or Replay (4) and playing Can be transferred to RT (3), which is advantageous to the player, so when replay GR (1) is won, a black color indicating “black 7”, which is a condition for winning replay (3), is notified and replay GR ( At the time of winning of 2), a net pattern suggesting “net 7” which is a condition for winning the replay (4) is notified.

  For this reason, the player can derive a stop mode that is advantageous to the player at that time by performing the stop operation while aiming the “7” symbol of the color or pattern notified by the operation procedure notification to the left reel. It becomes possible.

  Note that the operation procedure notification is not limited as long as the player can recognize an advantageous operation procedure for the player according to the type of RT and the type of winning combination, and the current gaming state and the type of winning combination itself, or The combination of symbols to be stopped, the symbols that differ depending on the types of roles to be stopped, images that indicate the current gaming state and the type of winning combination, etc. are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the corresponding LEDs are lit Alternatively, notification may be made by outputting a corresponding sound. Furthermore, a symbol pattern (such as a symbol that is located near the target symbol and stands out from the target symbol), an image that suggests the index symbol, or the like may be notified. Further, if the operation procedure is the order in which the reels are stopped, the notification may be made by an image, a sound suggesting the stop order, a lighting mode of the corresponding LED, or the like.

  Further, in this embodiment, even when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won at RT (0) (1) (3) (4), the replay GR (1) at RT (0). ) Even if one of (2) wins, if the operating procedure (the type of “7” symbol to be stopped) is the same, the operating procedure is notified in the same manner, and the player Since it is sufficient to always stop the “7” symbol in the color or pattern suggested by the notification mode, it is preferable because it can prevent the player from being confused. When the same operation procedure is notified, the notification may be made in a different manner.

  In the RT (3), the sub CPU 91a notifies the operation procedure when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won. For this reason, in RT (3), it is possible to win 12 medals by winning a stop operation according to the operation procedure notification.

  Further, when the sub CPU 91a shifts to RT (4), the sub CPU 91a determines the number of continued games from a plurality of games, and any one of the small roles GR (1) to (6) until the determined number of continued games is reached. When is won, an operation procedure notification for winning 11 cards is performed. For this reason, when shifting to RT (4), until the number of continuing games determined at that time elapses, it is determined and operated according to the operation procedure notification to shift to RT (2), to RT (0). It is possible to avoid returning and win a medal. Further, after the continuation game number determined at the time of transition has elapsed, an operation procedure notification for establishing a transitional combination is performed, and if the stop operation is performed according to the operation procedure notification after the continuation game number has elapsed, , It is possible to shift to RT (0) again while avoiding shifting to RT (2).

  Further, when the special condition is established in RT (1), the sub CPU 91a notifies the operation procedure when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won. Special conditions were BB (1) winning, RT (0) (3) (4) special role winning, BB cherry (+1) winning (2), and these special conditions were met Thereafter, when any of the small roles GR (1) to (6) is won at RT (0) which has been first transferred, an operation procedure notification is executed. For this reason, in RT (1) after these special conditions are satisfied, it is possible to shift to RT (0) by performing a stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure notification.

  Further, the sub CPU 91a enters a notification state in which the operation procedure notification is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won and the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (0). It is possible to control. When the notification state is controlled at RT (0), the operation procedure notification is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (6) are won and when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, It is possible to shift to RT (3) by performing a stop operation in accordance with the operation procedure notification.

  In addition, the sub CPU 91a performs a notification state lottery that determines the number of notification states to be controlled to the notification state at RT (0) between 0 and n times (n is an integer of 2 or more). When the number of digested games reaches a specific number of games after the transition to RT (2) (5), the notification state lottery is performed when the re-playing game continues for a predetermined number of times in RT (3) (4). It is executed at the time of winning and stores the number of notification states that have been won. Further, when a new winning is made in a state where the number of notification states remains, the newly won number is added to the remaining number of times.

  When the sub CPU 91a moves to RT (0), the sub CPU 91a checks whether or not the number of notification states remains. If the number of notification states remains, the sub CPU 91a decrements the notification state number by one to enter the notification state. Control. For this reason, when the number of notification states remains, RT (0) and RT (3) are set as one set over the number of times, and RT (0) and RT (3) can be continuously controlled. It becomes possible.

  The number of notification states is not cleared except when the setting is changed, and when the number of notification states remains, the process proceeds to RT (2) or RT (5). The notification state count is maintained as it is. For this reason, when RT (2) or RT (5) continues for a long period of time, or after BB or RB, a state where the transition from RT (1) to RT (0) does not continue, the number of notification states is accumulated. The possibility increases. In a state where a large number of notification states are accumulated, RT (0) and RT (3) loop for a long time by shifting to RT (0).

  Further, the average number of times of notification state winning by the notification state lottery executed by the sub CPU 91a at the time of winning the special role, as shown in FIG. It depends on the relationship between the type of special role and the type of special role.

  Specifically, the average number of notification state acquisitions is the largest when BB (1) is internally selected when the production mode A is selected, and decreases in the order of BB (2) and RB when internally selected. . When the production mode B is selected, the time when the internal winning of BB (2) is the largest, and the order becomes smaller in the order of the internal winning of BB (1) and RB. When the production mode C is selected, the average number of acquisitions during the internal winning of the RB is the largest, and is substantially the same during the internal winning of the BB (1) and BB (2).

  In addition, the average number of acquisitions when the RB is internally won when the effect mode C is selected is the largest (extra large), and when the BB (1) is internally selected when the effect mode A is selected and the effect When the mode B is selected, the average number of times of acquisition when the BB (2) is internally won (large), when the effect mode A is selected, the case where the BB (2) is internally won and the effect mode B is When BB (1) is internally selected when selected, the average number of acquisitions (medium), when RB is internally selected when effect mode A or effect mode B is selected, and effect mode C is selected When BB (1) (2) wins internally, the average number of acquisitions (small) decreases in order.

  Thus, depending on the combination of the type of the special combination won internally and the type of the production mode selected when the special combination was won internally, the average value of the number of notification state acquisitions is different. In other words, since the player's degree of advantage is different, the player's sense of expectation for the selection of the effect mode can be enhanced.

  In addition, the internal winning probability of BB (1) or BB (2) is the same, and the total value of the average number of acquisitions (large + medium + small) when BB (1) is internally won in each production mode AC. And BB (1) or BB (2) because the total value (medium + large + small) of the average number of acquisitions when BB (2) is internally won in each of the production modes A to C is substantially the same. Since the average number of acquisitions does not change when the player wins internally, the player does not feel unfair.

  Further, when the production mode A or the production mode B is selected, the average number of times of notification state acquisition is larger when the BB (1) or BB (2) is won internally than when the RB is won internally. On the other hand, when the production mode C is selected, the average number of acquisitions of the number of notification states is greater when the RB is internally won than when the BB (1) or BB (2) is internally won.

  In other words, since the number of notification states is determined so that the average number of notification state acquisitions does not differ greatly depending on the production mode selected when the special role is won, the player will not feel unfair. .

  In addition, when the production mode C is selected, an RB whose winning probability is lower than the combined value of the internal winning probabilities of BB (1) and BB (2) and whose number of acquired medals in the bonus is small is internally won. In this case, the average number of notification states is greater than when BB (1) is internally won when the effect mode A is selected or when BB (2) is internally won when the effect mode B is selected. The number of acquisitions is large. That is, although the probability of winning is low and the number of acquired medals in the bonus is small, it can be expected that a large number of notification states will be acquired when winning. Thus, since the average number of acquisition times of the notification state times when BB (1), BB (2), and RB are won differs depending on the type of the effect mode, the player selects the effect mode according to his / her preference. be able to.

  FIG. 16B shows the relationship between the types of effect modes A to C selected at the time of winning the special combination as a modification, and the types of special combination.

  The average number of notification states is the largest when BB (1) or RB is internally won when production mode A is selected (large), and the smallest when BB (2) is internally won ( small). When the production mode B is selected, the case where BB (2) or RB is won internally is the largest (large), and the case where BB (1) is won internally is the smallest (small). When the production mode C is selected, the case where the RB is won internally is the largest (large), and the case where the BB (1) or BB (2) is won internally is the same (middle).

  Thus, the internal winning probabilities of BB (1) or BB (2) are the same, and the sum of the average number of acquisitions (large + medium + when BB (1) is internally won in each of the production modes A to C) Small) and the sum of the average number of acquisitions (medium + large + small) when BB (2) wins the internal winning in each of the production modes A to C is substantially the same, so that BB (1) or BB ( Since the average number of acquisitions in the case of 2) won internally does not change, the player will not be unfair.

  In addition, when an RB having an internal winning probability lower than that of BB (1) (2) and having a low number of acquired medals in a bonus is won internally, the notification is made regardless of which effect modes A to C are selected. The average number of times of acquisition of the number of states is that BB (1) is internally won when the production modes B and C are selected or the BB (2) is internally won when the production modes A and C are selected. Since it is larger than the average number of acquisitions in the case, the player will not be unfair.

  In the present embodiment, the distribution ratio of the number of notification states according to the types of the production modes A to C selected at the time of winning the special role and the type of the special role is set in advance. It may be settable.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a continues for a plurality of games in RT (0) to (6), and finally draws a special role winning suggestion effect (continuous) that leads to an effect result indicating whether or not the special role is won. (Direction).

  The sub CPU 91a may or may not execute the special role selection suggestion effect at the time of winning the replay (1), bell, cherry, and cherry + 1 that may be simultaneously selected with the special role, and the special role selection indication effect to be executed. When the special role selection suggestion effect lottery for determining the pattern is executed and the special role selection suggestion effect of one of the effect patterns is won, the special role selection suggestion effect of the selected effect pattern is executed.

  In this embodiment, since the maximum pull-in range is 4 frames, in the left reel, “black 7” constituting BB (1) and “net 7” constituting BB (2) and RB are displayed. It is impossible to aim at the same time, it is not possible to aim at “black 7” constituting BB (1) in the middle reel, “net 7” constituting BB at the same time, and BB on the right reel. “Black 7” constituting (1), “net 7” constituting BB (2), and “white 7” constituting RB cannot be aimed at the same time. For this reason, BB (1) (2) and RB have different operating procedures for winning a prize, and if BB (1) (2) and RB are selected, at least three types of operating procedures are not tried. It cannot be determined that there is not.

  In the present embodiment, the number of special roles that do not overlap each other for the operation procedure for winning the prize is X, the winning probability of the re-playing role in the continuous performance is Y1, the winning probability of the small role in the continuous performance is Y2, and the continuous When the number of continued games in the production is Z, the number of continuous games in the continuous production is determined so that Z <X + (Y1 + Y2) · Z is established. In this embodiment, as described above, X = 3 (BB (1) (2), RB), Y1 = 1 / 7.3 (lowest value), and Y2 = 1/6, so that Z <X + In order for (Y1 + Y2) · Z to be established, Z needs to be a value less than about 4.3, and the continuous production continues for the maximum four games.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the number of games ((Y1 + Y2) · Z) in which the winning of the re-playing role and the small role that makes it difficult to win the special role during the continuous performance is expected, and the prize for winning. Continuous production over a number of games that is less than the sum of the number of special roles that do not overlap each other, that is, the number of games necessary to determine whether any special role is won. Therefore, it is difficult to reliably determine whether or not the special role suggested by the continuous performance is won until the end of the continuous performance. In addition to sustaining the player's expectation for winning, the number of games for continuous production is determined in consideration of the winning probabilities of re-playing and small roles that make it difficult to win special roles during continuous production. Because of the winning Without because of operating procedures increase the number of different special auditors, respectively, it is possible to increase the number of continuation game of continuous production more than that.

  In addition, in the case where a plurality of winning probabilities of re-game players during a period in which a continuous effect is executed is provided as in the present embodiment, the number of continuous games in the continuous effect is Z, and the game state in which the continuous effect is executed If the winning probability of the game player is Y1 ′ and Z <X + (Y1 ′ + Y2) · Z holds, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of special roles that do not overlap each other for the operation procedure for winning the prize is X, the winning probability of the re-playing role during the continuous performance is Y1, the winning probability of the small role during the continuous performance is Y2, the continuous When the number of continued games in the production is Z, the number of continuous games in the continuous production is determined so that Z <X + (Y1 + Y2) · Z is established. X is the number of roles, Y1 is the winning probability of the replaying role in the continuous production, Y2 'is the winning probability of the unplayed small role (bell in this example) during the continuous performance, and the number of continuous games in the continuous production is In the case of Z, the number of continuous games of the continuous production may be determined so that Z <X + (Y1 + Y2 ′) · Z is established, and in this way, a special role is won during the continuous production. Replays that are impossible to play Non-missing small role (If a re-playing role or non-missing small role is elected while the special role is carried over, the re-playing role or non-missing small role will always win, and the special role will not win) The number of games that are expected to win ((Y1 + Y2 ') · Z) and the number of special roles that do not overlap the operating procedure for winning, that is, whether or not any special role has been won Since the number of games required to play and the number of games less than the sum of the number of games will be executed, the special role suggested by the continuous effect will be won until the end of the continuous effect. Therefore, it is impossible to reliably determine whether or not the player is in the game, so that the player's expectation for winning the special role can be reliably maintained until the end of the continuous performance.

  In addition, if the number of special roles that do not overlap the operation procedure for winning a prize is X, the winning probability of a replaying player in a continuous production is Y, and the number of continuous games in a continuous production is Z, Z <X + Y · Z The number of continuous games for a continuous performance may be determined so that the game is established, and even in such a configuration, the player's expectation for winning the special role can be maintained until the continuous performance ends. In addition, since the number of games for continuous production is determined in consideration of the winning probability of re-playing roles that makes it difficult to win special roles during continuous production, the number of special roles with different operational procedures for winning is determined. Without increasing, the number of continuous games of continuous production can be increased further. In particular, when a special role is derived in preference to a small role, the continuous game number is determined so that Z <X + Y · Z is established, until the continuous effect ends. It is possible to reliably maintain the player's expectation for winning the special role.

  The special role selection suggestion effects are registered when special role selection suggestion effects A1, B1, and C1 corresponding to the types of the production modes A to C are registered and selected in the special role selection suggestion effect lottery. Special role selection suggesting effects A1, B1, and C1 corresponding to the effect modes A to C are selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, each of the special role winning suggestion effects A1, B1, and C1 includes eight types of effect patterns 0 to 7, respectively. A production pattern “-1” to be shown and a production pattern “-2” to show that the special role is won are defined.

  In FIGS. 13 and 14, an effect pattern of special role winning suggestion effect A1 is shown. In addition, although the special pattern winning suggestion effects B1 and C1 are not particularly shown in the special pattern, the characters appearing in the special role suggesting effect B1 (characters that shoot fireworks and characters appearing in cut-in described later) are female characters. In the special role winning suggestion effect C1, the appearing characters (characters that shoot fireworks and characters that appear in the cut-in described later) are animal characters. As described above, the special role selection suggesting effects A1, B1, and C1 corresponding to the respective effect modes A to C are different in the appearing characters, but the execution pattern of launching fireworks is common as described later.

  In addition, the sub CPU 91a executes the special role selection suggestion effect lottery, and when the special role selection suggestion effect of one of the effect patterns is won, the counter value of a continuous effect counter (not shown) is set to “3” ( (Continuous production counter = 0), each time a game is started, the counter value is subtracted and updated by one.

  The effect pattern 0 is a pattern that does not execute the special role winning suggestion effect, and when the effect pattern is determined, the special role winning suggestion effect is not executed. Note that when the special pattern is determined to be internal winning, when the production pattern 0 is determined, the above-described final production lottery is executed.

  In the effect pattern 1-1, after the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13A is displayed in the first game, the fireworks of the normal pattern are displayed in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C. The fireworks production effect to be produced (normal) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g), (h), (i), and (m), the effect mode changeover switch 58 disabled after the game starts. Even when the effect mode changeover switch 58 is operated after displaying an image that prompts the user to perform an operation, a fireworks launch effect (no cut-in) that fires fireworks without a cut-in effect, which will be described later, is executed. In the fourth game, as shown in FIG. 14 (p), it is a pattern in which a launch failure effect is executed to notify that the special combination is not won. The effect pattern 1-2 is the same as the effect pattern 1-1 up to the third game, but the launch success effect is executed as shown in FIG. 14 (n) instead of the launch failure effect in the fourth game. This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  In the effect pattern 2-1, after the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13A is displayed in the first game, the cherry blossom pattern fireworks are displayed in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13B and 13D. The fireworks production effect to be produced (sakura pattern) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g), (h), (i), and (m), an effect mode changeover switch that is disabled after the game starts After displaying the image prompting the operation of 58, even when the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is performed, a fireworks launch effect (no cut-in) is performed to launch fireworks without a cut-in effect described later. Then, in the fourth game, as shown in FIG. 14 (p), the pattern is a pattern in which the launch failure effect is executed to notify the special role non-winning. The production pattern 2-2 is the same as the production pattern 2-1 up to the third game, but it is not a launch failure production in the fourth game, but executes a successful launch production as shown in FIG. 14 (n). This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  In the effect pattern 3-1, the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13 (a) is displayed in the first game, and then the fireworks of the normal pattern are displayed in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c). The fireworks production effect to be produced (normal) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g), (h), (j), and (m), the effect mode changeover switch 58 that has been disabled after the game starts. After displaying an image that prompts the user to perform an operation, when the operation mode changeover switch 58 is operated, a fireworks display with a cut-in effect (small) that causes the image to be interrupted on the display screen + small cut-in (small ) This is a pattern in which an effect is executed and, in the fourth game, as shown in FIG. The effect pattern 3-2 is the same as the effect pattern 3-1, up to the third game, but the launch success effect is executed as shown in FIG. This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  In the effect pattern 4-1, after the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13 (a) is displayed in the first game, the cherry blossom pattern fireworks are displayed in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and (d). The fireworks production effect to be produced (sakura pattern) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g) (h) (j) (m), the effect mode changeover switch that has been disabled after the game is started After displaying the image prompting the operation of 58, when the operation mode changeover switch 58 is operated, the fireworks display + cut-in (cut-in) that fires the fireworks with the cut-in effect (small) that interrupts the image on the display screen ( (Small) effect is executed, and in the fourth game, as shown in FIG. 14 (p), the launch failure effect is executed to notify the special role non-winning. The effect pattern 4-2 is the same as the effect pattern 4-1 up to the third game, but the launch success effect is executed as shown in FIG. This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  In the effect pattern 5-1, after displaying the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13A in the first game, the fireworks of the normal pattern are displayed in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C. The fireworks production effect to be produced (normal) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g), (h), (k), and (m), the effect mode changeover switch 58 that has been disabled after the game starts. When an effect mode changeover switch 58 is operated after an image that prompts the user to perform an operation is displayed, a cut-in effect (large) that interrupts an image larger than the effect patterns 3 and 4 on the display screen is accompanied. This is a pattern in which a fireworks launch + cut-in (large) effect for launching fireworks is executed, and in the fourth game, as shown in FIG. 14 (p), a launch failure effect is executed to notify that the special role is not won. The effect pattern 5-2 is the same as the effect pattern 5-1 up to the third game, but the launch success effect is executed as shown in FIG. 14 (n) instead of the launch failure effect in the fourth game. This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  The effect pattern 6-1 displays the effect start screen shown in FIG. 13 (a) in the first game, and then displays cherry blossom pattern fireworks in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and (d). The fireworks production effect to be produced (sakura pattern) is executed, and in the third game, as shown in FIGS. 14 (g), (h), (k), and (m), an effect mode change switch that has been disabled after the game starts After the image prompting the operation 58 is displayed, a cut-in effect (large) for interrupting an image larger than the effect patterns 3 and 4 on the display screen when the effect mode changeover switch 58 is operated is displayed. This is a pattern in which a fireworks launch + cut-in (large) effect is performed to fire the accompanying fireworks, and a launch failure effect is executed in the fourth game, as shown in FIG. . The effect pattern 6-2 is the same as the effect pattern 6-1 up to the third game, but the launch success effect is executed as shown in FIG. 14 (n) instead of the launch failure effect in the fourth game. This is a pattern for notifying the winning of the special role.

  In the present embodiment, in the production patterns 3 to 6, after the game is started, an image that prompts the operation of the production mode changeover switch 58 that is invalidated is displayed, and then the production mode changeover switch 58 is operated. Because the effect with the cut-in effect that interrupts the image of the predetermined size on the display screen is executed, the effect can be produced even in the situation where the effect modes A to C cannot be selected while the special role suggestion effect is being executed. The effect mode changeover switch 58 (effect mode selection operation part) for selecting the modes A to C can be effectively used as an operation part for the purpose of executing effects other than the selection of the effect mode.

  In this embodiment, after the game is started, a cut-in effect that interrupts an image of a predetermined size on the display screen by operating the effect mode changeover switch 58 in which the selection of the effect modes A to C is invalidated. If an effect that changes the effect mode being executed is executed, for example, an effect that changes the mode of the display image such as a character or background on the display screen is executed. Alternatively, the production mode of the production device other than on the display screen (for example, the lighting mode of the production LED, the output sound mode output from the speakers 53 and 54, and the movable mode of the accessory (mechanical structure)) Etc.) may be changed.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the effect mode changeover switch 58 that is disabled is operated, an effect with a cut-in effect that interrupts an image of a predetermined size on the display screen is executed. For example, when an image that prompts the user to operate the disabled MAXBET switch 6 is displayed, and then the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, and an operation detection command indicating that the MAXBET switch 6 has been operated is received from the main CPU 41a. In addition, an effect in which the effect mode being executed may change may be executed.

  In addition, in the third game of the production patterns 3 to 6, the operation of the production mode changeover switch 58 is performed even though an image prompting the operation of the production mode changeover switch 58 that has been invalidated is displayed after the game is started. If not, it is not possible to determine whether or not the pattern has cut-in without cut-in.

  In the production pattern 7, the production start screen shown in FIG. 13 (a) is displayed in the first game, and then the fireworks are produced in the second game as shown in FIGS. 13 (b), (e), and (f). This is a pattern in which the fireworks production production (鼠) is executed and ends as it is.

  In addition, in a present Example, the special pattern selection suggestion effects A1, B1, and C1 of the production patterns 1 to 7 corresponding to the types of the production modes A to C selected when winning in the special role selection production lottery. One of them is executed, but it is common to each of these effect modes A to C regardless of the effect modes A to C selected when winning the special role suggestion effect lottery. A special role winning suggestion effect may be executed.

  Thus, even when any production mode A to C is selected, when the special role selection suggestion production based on any one of the production patterns 1 to 7 is executed, Then, the type of the production mode selected at that time may be displayed, and in this way, the player can determine which production mode is selected during the execution of the special role suggestion production. It becomes possible to confirm.

  In addition, when the special role selection suggestion effect corresponding to the types of the effect modes A to C can be executed, it is preferable that the effect patterns of the special role selection suggestion effects corresponding to the various effect modes A to C are common. The common production pattern differs depending on the various production modes, but the story and development pattern (production of fireworks, launching fireworks, success and failure of launching, etc.) of special role suggestion production are common. Anything to do.

  In addition, in this embodiment, as an example of the special role selection suggestion effect, a continuous production in which a story of creating and launching fireworks is developed over multiple games is applied. It is not limited to the continuous production in which the story develops over a plurality of games, for example, a continuous production in which a single suggestion production in which a story is completed in one game is continuously executed over a plurality of games ( For example, an effect of producing fireworks in one game and failing continuously over a plurality of games, and producing or succeeding in the production of fireworks in the final game is included.

  In the special role winning suggestion effect lottery, as shown in FIG. 15, the production patterns 0 to 7 are generated with different probabilities according to the type of the selected small role, the presence / absence of the special role, and the remaining number of notification states (stock). select.

  In particular, when Cherry or Cherry + 1 piece is won at the same time as the special role, the type of the selected small role, whether or not the special role is won, the number of remaining notifications (stock), and the effect selected at that time The production patterns 0 to 7 are selected with different probabilities according to the types of modes A to C. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when BB (2) or RB is won simultaneously with cherry when effect mode A is selected, BB (1) or RB when effect mode B is selected If BB (1) or BB (2) wins at the same time with cherry when the production mode C is selected, the special role (low) + cherry table is referenced. When production mode A is selected, if BB (2) or RB wins simultaneously with +1 cherry, if production mode B is selected, BB (1) or RB wins simultaneously with cherry +1 In this case, when the production mode C is selected, if BB (1) or BB (2) is won simultaneously with +1 cherry, the special combination (low) + cherry + 1 table is referred to.

  On the other hand, when the production mode A is selected, when BB (1) is won simultaneously with cherry, when the production mode B is selected, when BB (2) is simultaneously won with cherry, the production mode C is If RB wins at the same time with cherry when selected, the special role (high) + cherry table is referenced, and when production mode A is selected, BB (1) wins simultaneously with cherry + 1 If BB (2) wins simultaneously with cherry +1 when the production mode B is selected, special if the RB wins simultaneously with cherry +1 when the production mode C is selected Reference is made to the table of the role (high) + cherry + 1.

  In this embodiment, only when a cherry or cherry + 1 piece is won at the same time as the special role, the type of the selected small role, the presence / absence of the special role, the number of remaining notifications (stock) and the time The production patterns 0 to 7 are selected with different probabilities according to the types of the production modes A to C selected. Even when the replay and the bell are simultaneously elected with the special role, they are selected at that time. The production patterns 0 to 7 may be selected with different probabilities according to the types of the production modes A to C.

  In the present embodiment, the ratio of winning the effect patterns (1) to (7) among the effect patterns (0) to (7) has the relationship of cherry + 1 sheet> cherry> bell> replay (1). It matches the ratio of winning simultaneously. In other words, a general role with a higher ratio of winning at the same time as a special role is more likely to be performed as a special role selection suggestion, and the higher the probability that a special role that can be expected to win a special role wins, the higher the probability that the special role will be selected. As a result, the expected expectation of the special role at the time of winning the general role that triggers the start of the special role selection suggestion and the execution probability of the special role selection suggestion will be linked. The player's sense of expectation for winning the special role can be effectively enhanced by the winning suggestion effect.

  In addition, among the production patterns 1 to 6 of the fireworks production production (normal) and the fireworks production production (sakura pattern), the ratio of winning the production patterns 2, 4, and 6 of the firework production production (sakura pattern) is replay (1). , Cherry, Cherry + 1 is higher than the case of winning a special role at the same time, Replay (1), If Cherry wins, from fireworks production production (normal) If the fireworks production production (sakura pattern) is executed, the possibility of winning the special role is higher.

  On the other hand, among the production patterns 1 to 6 of the fireworks production production (normal) and the fireworks production production (sakura pattern), the ratio of winning the production patterns 1, 3, and 5 of the firework production production (normal) is the bell alone. It is higher if you are elected at the same time as the special role than if you are elected, and if Bell wins, the person who performed the fireworks production direction (normal) rather than the fireworks production direction (sakura pattern) , You are more likely to have won the special role.

  In other words, the replay (1), when Cherry wins the prize, and when Bell wins, the production pattern that can be expected to win the special role is different. In the former case, the fireworks production production (sakura pattern) is more special While the winning of the role can be expected, in the latter case, the special role can be expected if the fireworks production production (normal) is performed.

  In addition, among the production patterns 1 to 6, the ratio of winning the fireworks display + cut-in production production patterns 3 to 6 is more than the case where the replay (1), bell, cherry, and cherry + 1 piece are won alone. Fireworks with a cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 rather than a fireworks display with no cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 + If the cut-in effect is executed, the possibility of winning the special role is higher.

  Furthermore, among the production patterns 3 to 6 for the fireworks display + cut-in production, the ratio of winning the production patterns 3 to 6 for the fireworks display + cut-in (large) production is replay (1), bell, cherry, cherry + 1 Is more likely to be won at the same time as a special role than when winning alone, and fireworks + cut-in (small) with cut-in (small) depending on the operation of the production mode switch 58 The possibility that the fireworks display with cut-in (large) + cut-in (large) effect is executed according to the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is more likely to be won as a special role.

  In addition, when +1 cherry is won, the production pattern 0 is won only when the special role is won at the same time, and the cherry stops in the middle of the left reel, and the special role selection suggestion is displayed. If not, the special role will be confirmed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the ratio of winning the effect patterns (1) to (7) among the effect patterns (0) to (7) is the number of notification states (stock), except for the case where the cherry + 1 sheet is won. 1 or more remains higher than when there is no remaining, and the special role suggestion effect is given at the time of winning the replay (1), bell, cherry (except when the cherry stops in the middle of the left reel) When executed, there is a higher possibility that the number of notification states remains one or more than when the special role winning suggestion effect is not executed.

  In addition, among the production patterns 1 to 6 of the fireworks production production (normal) and the fireworks production production (sakura pattern), the ratio of winning the production patterns 2, 4, and 6 of the firework production production (sakura pattern) is replay (1). When the number of cherries and cherries +1 is won, the remaining number of notifications (stock) is one or more higher than when there is no remaining, and when replay (1) and cherries win If the fireworks production effect (sakura pattern) is executed rather than the fireworks production effect (normal), there is a higher possibility that the number of notification states remains one or more.

  On the other hand, among the production patterns 1-6 of the fireworks production production (normal) and the fireworks production production (sakura pattern), the ratio of winning the production patterns 1, 3, 5 of the firework production production (normal) is won by Bell. If the number of notification states (stock) does not remain, one or more remains higher, and if the bell wins, the fireworks production direction (sakura pattern) When (normal) is executed, there is a higher possibility that the number of notification states remains one or more.

  In other words, the replay (1), when Cherry wins, and when Bell wins, the pattern of performance that is likely to remain one or more notification states (stock) is different. It is expected that the number of notification states (stock) is 1 or more when the cherry blossom pattern is executed, while the number of notification states (stock) is 1 when the fireworks production effect (normal) is executed in the latter. It can be expected to remain.

  In addition, if replay (1) or cherry wins as mentioned above, the person who performed the fireworks production production (cherry blossom pattern) may have won the special role rather than the fireworks production production (normal) If the bell wins, it is more likely that the fireworks production production (cherry blossom pattern) is performed than the fireworks production production (normal), and the number of notification states There is also a high possibility that 1 or more remains.

  In addition, when the bell wins as mentioned above, it is more likely that the person who performed the fireworks production production (normal) than the fireworks production production (sakura pattern) has won the special role. In the case of winning a prize, it is more likely that the person who performed the fireworks production production (usually) than the fireworks production production (sakura pattern) has been elected as a special role, and the number of notification states remains 1 or more. There is a high possibility of being.

  In addition, among the production patterns 1 to 6, the ratio of winning the fireworks display + production patterns 3 to 6 of the cut-in production is more than one when the number of notification states (stock) does not remain. Higher, the fireworks launch + cut-in effect with cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 than the firework launch effect without cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 is notified The possibility that the number of states (stock) is 1 or more remains high.

  In addition, it is more special that the fireworks display + cut-in effect with cut-in according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 is executed than the fireworks display effect without cut-in according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58. There is a high possibility that the winning combination is won, and the fireworks launch + cut-in with cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 rather than the fireworks launch production without cut-in according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 The direction in which the performance is executed is more likely to be won as a special role, and the possibility that the number of notification states remains one or more increases.

  Furthermore, among the production patterns 3 to 6 of the fireworks display + cut-in effect, the ratio of winning the production patterns 3 to 6 of the fireworks display + cut-in (large) production is the case where the number of notification states (stock) does not remain 1 or more remains higher than the fireworks display with cut-in (small) + cut-in (small) effect according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 When fireworks launch with cut-in (large) + cut-in (large) production is executed, there is a higher possibility that the number of notification states (stock) remains one or more.

  In addition, the fireworks display with cut-in (small) according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 + the firework display with cut-in (large) according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 rather than the cut-in (small) effect + The person who performed the cut-in (large) production is more likely to have won the special role, and fireworks + cut-in (small) with cut-in (small) according to the operation of the production mode switch 58 It is more likely that a fireworks launch + cut-in (large) production with cut-in (large) will be selected for the special role than the production, according to the operation of the production mode switch 58. There is a high possibility that the number of notification states remains one or more.

  Of the production patterns 1 to 7, production pattern 6, that is, production patterns in which both fireworks production production (sakura pattern) and fireworks launch + cut-in (large) production are executed is replay (1), cherry, cherry +1 The combined probability of the probability of winning when a single sheet is won and the probability of winning when the production pattern 6 is replayed (1), cherry, cherry + 1 and special roles are simultaneously won If the production pattern 6 occupies the replay (1), cherry, cherry + 1 piece and special role is won at the same time, the probability ratio of winning is the highest compared to that of the production patterns 1-5, When replay (1), cherry wins, special role winning suggestion effect is executed, both fireworks production effect (sakura pattern) and fireworks launch + cut-in (large) effect are executed In, it could have won the most special role increases.

  If Replay (1), Cherry, and Cherry + 1 are won independently, and the special role is not won, the production pattern 6 is won only if the number of notification states (stock) is 1 or more. Therefore, both replay (1) and fireworks production production (sakura pattern) and fireworks launch + cut-in (large) production that can be expected to win the most special role in the special role election suggestion production at the Cherry Prize Nevertheless, if the special combination is not won, it is determined that at least one notification state number (stock) remains.

  In addition, among the effect patterns 1 to 7, when the effect pattern 5, that is, the effect pattern in which both the fireworks production effect (normal) and the fireworks launch + cut-in (large) effect are executed, the bell is elected alone. Probability of winning and the probability of winning when the performance pattern 5 is won at the same time as the bell and special role. When the effect pattern 6 is winning the bell and the special role at the same time. The ratio of the probability of winning is the highest compared to that of the production patterns 1 to 4, 6, and 7. When the special role election suggestion is executed at the time of winning the bell, the fireworks production production (normal) and the fireworks By performing both launch + cut-in (large) production, the possibility of winning the most special role increases.

  And if Bell wins alone and does not win a special role, production pattern 5 wins only when the number of notification states (stock) is 1 or more, so the special role at the time of winning the bell If both the fireworks production production (normal) and fireworks launch + cut-in (large) production that can be expected to win the most special role in the winning suggestion production have been performed, It is determined that at least one notification state number (stock) remains.

  In addition, among the production patterns 1 to 7, the production pattern 7, that is, the probability of winning when the general role is elected alone with the production pattern having a shorter number of continuous games than the other production patterns, and the production pattern 7. The ratio of the probability of winning when the general role and the special role are won at the same time as the production pattern 7 occupies the probability of winning when the general role and the special role are simultaneously won. When the special role winning suggestion effect is executed when the number of continuation games is short compared to other effect patterns, it is compared with other effect patterns. The possibility of winning special roles is reduced.

  In addition, the effect pattern 7 is another effect pattern when the special role winning suggestion effect is executed in spite of winning only at the time of winning the cherry +1 which is most likely to be won as the special role. If the number of continuing games is short compared to, the possibility of winning a special role is reduced compared to other performance patterns.

  On the other hand, the production pattern 7 is won only when the number of notification states (stock) is 5 or more, so the special role win is given at the time of winning the cherry + 1 that is most likely to win the special role. When the suggestion effect is executed, if the number of continuing games is short compared to other effect patterns, the possibility of winning a special role is reduced compared to other effect patterns. It is determined that the number of times (stock) remains 5 or more.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the replay (1), bell, cherry, and cherry + 1 that may be won at the same time as the special role is won, the special role winning suggestion effect is executed. The player's expectation that the special role is elected along with the winning suggestion can be enhanced, and after the Replay (1), Bell, and Cherry win the prize, the special role is won by the special role suggesting effect. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the winning of the special role for a period until it is notified whether or not it is.

  In addition, the special role selection suggestion effect is composed of a plurality of types of effect patterns, and the special role selection suggestion effect of any pattern selected from the plurality of types of effect patterns is executed, and the special role selection suggestion effect is triggered. The production pattern is selected with different probabilities according to the type of general role and the remaining number of notification states, and the type of general role that triggered the special role selection suggestion and Since the remaining number of notification states is suggested from the combination of the production patterns of the special role selection suggestion production, it is possible to guess, and as a result of the special role selection indication production, the special role is not won. However, the special role winning suggestion effect is significant for the player.

  In this embodiment, regardless of whether the special role is won or not, the production pattern has a different probability depending on the type of the general role that triggered the special role suggestion production and the remaining number of notification states. A production pattern with different probabilities depending on the type of general role that triggers the special role selection suggestion and the remaining number of notification states, at least when the special role has not been won. In such a configuration, if the special role selection suggestion effect is not selected, the special role selection suggestion effect is significant for the player. Become.

  In the present embodiment, when a general role that may be won at the same time as the special role is selected, a common performance pattern is selected except for the performance pattern 7 regardless of the type of the general role selected. However, any configuration may be used as long as a common performance pattern is selected for at least some of the general roles, and the configuration may not be such that a common performance pattern is selected for all of these general roles.

  Also, in this embodiment, the special role winning suggestion effect is executed at the time of winning the general role that may be won at the same time as the special role, but at least the general role that may be won at the same time as the special role It is only necessary that the special role winning suggestion effect is executed at the time of winning, and in addition to the time of winning these general roles, the opportunity other than at the time of winning the general role, that is, when any role has not been won or the special role is The special role winning suggestion effect may be executed when winning alone, and in this case, by selecting the effect pattern with different probabilities according to the number of notification states, the internal lottery Because the remaining number of notification states is suggested from the combination of the result and the production pattern of the special role selection suggestion effect, it is possible to guess, so the special role is selected as a result of the special role selection suggestion effect. Even if you did not, special auditors winning suggested director for the player is significant.

  In the present embodiment, the effect pattern 7 is selected on the condition that the number of notification states remains five or more among a plurality of types of effect patterns. By executing the suggestion effect, it is determined that the number of notification states remains five or more, so that the expectation for more loops of RT (0) and RT (3) to continue may be increased. it can.

  Further, the effect pattern 7 is selected only when the cherry + 1 sheet is won, and the special role suggestion effect based on the effect pattern 7 in which it is determined that the number of notification states remains 5 or more. Is executed only when +1 cherry is won, even if a special role winning suggestion other than the effect pattern 7 is executed, triggered by the winning of another general role, 5 or more notification states remain. There is a possibility, and even in such a situation, it is possible to maintain the expectation that more loops of RT (0) and RT (3) will continue.

  In addition, although the production pattern 7 is the production pattern that is selected only when the cherry +1 piece that has the highest possibility of winning the special role is elected, it is compared with the other production patterns. Although it is a production pattern that is unlikely to be elected as a special role, a special role selection suggestion effect based on the production pattern 7 is performed when a cherry + 1 piece that is highly likely to be elected as such a special role is won. Even if it is executed and it is suggested that the possibility of winning the special role is low, since it is determined that the number of notification states remains 5 or more, RT (0) and RT (3) Can increase the expectation that more loops will continue.

  In addition, the production pattern 7 has a shorter number of continuing games than the other production patterns, and when a special role winning production based on the production pattern 7 is executed, the production pattern 7 ends in a shorter period than the other production patterns. However, compared to other performance patterns, the player's expectation for winning the special role cannot be maintained, but it is determined that the number of notification states remains 5 or more. Even so, it is possible to enhance the expectation that the loop of RT (0) and RT (3) will continue more.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the production mode A is selected, when BB (1) is simultaneously won with cherry, when the production mode B is selected, BB (2) is simultaneously won with cherry When RB is selected at the same time as cherry when production mode C is selected (special role (high) + cherry), BB (2) or RB is simultaneously with cherry when production mode A is selected When winning, when BB (1) or RB wins simultaneously with cherry when production mode B is selected, BB (1) or BB (2) becomes cherry when presentation mode C is selected The production pattern 6 is won at a higher rate than when winning simultaneously (special role (low) + cherry).

  In addition, when the production mode A is selected, when BB (1) is won with +1 cherry at the same time, when the production mode B is selected, when BB (2) is won with cherry + 1 at the same time, RB (2) or RB is selected when the production mode A is selected when the production mode C is selected and the RB is won at the same time as the cherry + 1 (special role (high) + cherry + 1). When winning with +1 cherry at the same time, when BB (1) or RB is winning with +1 cherry at the same time when production mode B is selected, when BB (1) or when production mode C is selected When BB (2) wins with +1 cherry at the same time, production pattern 6 wins at a higher rate than (special role (low) + cherry + 1).

  As described above, even when any of the production modes A to C is selected, when the production pattern 6 is executed, not only that the special combination is won simultaneously, but the average number of notification state times is high. It will be possible to expect that the special role (high) will be elected.

  In this embodiment, when the special role (high) and cherry are simultaneously elected, the effect pattern and the special role (high) are elected at a higher rate than when the special role (low) and cherry are simultaneously elected. ) And Cherry + 1 sheet at the same time, the effect pattern that wins at a higher rate than the case where the special role (Low) and Cherry + 1 sheet is simultaneously won was the same effect pattern. Although the characters, backgrounds, and the like that appear in the effect pattern 6 are different, other effects with common execution patterns (story of fireworks production, fireworks launch, launch failure / success, etc.) may be used.

  In this embodiment, an effect pattern having a shorter number of continuous games than other effect patterns is selected on the condition that the number of notification states remains a predetermined number of times or more. If the number of notification states is less than the predetermined number of times when there are more than the predetermined number of times, the effect pattern is selected with a probability that the ratio of the effect patterns with a shorter number of continued games is selected compared to other effect patterns. Even in the case of the configuration to be selected, the player's expectation for winning the special role cannot be maintained as compared with other performance patterns, but the possibility that the number of notification states remains 5 or more will increase. Even in such a situation, it is possible to enhance the expectation that the loop of RT (0) and RT (3) will continue more.

  Also, in this embodiment, it is determined that the number of notification states remains a predetermined number or more by ending with a shorter number of games than the other effect patterns, but the effect result of the special role suggestion effect In the final result indicating that the special role is not won, it may be determined that the number of notification states remains a predetermined number of times or more. Even when the special role non-winning is confirmed, it is possible to increase the expectation that the loop of RT (0) and RT (3) will continue more.

  Also, in this embodiment, the higher the ratio of the production pattern selected when the general combination is won at the same time as the special combination than when the general combination is won alone, compared to the case where the number of notification states is not left. When the remaining ratio is high, a special role selection suggestion based on a production pattern with a high possibility of winning a special role is executed, and as a result, it is notified that the special role is not won Since there is a high possibility that the number of notification states will remain one or more, even if the special role is not selected in the special role suggestion effect that can be expected to win the special role, RT (0) The expectation that a loop with RT (3) will continue more can be raised.

  In particular, in this embodiment, a special role winning suggestion based on a production pattern that is most likely to be won as a special role is executed, and if the special role is not selected, the number of notification states remains one or more. Even if you did not win the special role in the special role election suggestion production that can be expected to win the special role, it was because you were not selected for the special role in this situation Loss can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, among the production patterns 1 to 6, the ratio of winning the fireworks display + cut-in production production patterns 3 to 6 remains one or more than when the number of notification states does not remain. The fireworks launch + cut-in effect with cut-in according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 is executed rather than the fireworks launch effect without cut-in according to the operation of the effect mode switch 58 While the possibility that the number of notification states is 1 or more remains high, if the production mode changeover switch 58 is not operated even when the production patterns 3 to 6 are selected, the cut-in production is performed. It is impossible to infer whether or not the number of notification states remains one or more from the difference in whether or not a cut-in effect is involved. In other words, since an operation that does not relate to the progress of the game is performed in the special role winning suggestion, it is possible to know that the number of notification states remains one or more, and accordingly, there is an operation for an effect that does not relate to the progress of the game. It is possible to increase the player's willingness to actively participate in the special role winning suggestion.

  Further, in this embodiment, an operating procedure for avoiding the transition to RT (2) and RT (5) which is disadvantageous for the player at RT (0) and shifting to RT (3) which is advantageous for the player. The effect pattern of the special role selection suggestion effect is selected according to the remaining number of notification states to be notified and the type of the general role that is the trigger of the special role selection suggestion effect, but at least for the player If the special role selection suggestion effect is selected based on the number of times that an advantageous operation procedure is notified and the type of the general role that triggered the special role selection indication effect, the special role selection indication effect is executed. Since the remaining number of times of notification of the operational procedure advantageous to the player is suggested from the combination of the type of the general role that triggered the special role and the production pattern of the special role winning suggestion effect, it is possible to guess, The results of the selection suggested production, even if the special combination is not won, special auditors winning suggested director for the player is significant.

  As an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player, for example, an operation procedure that avoids establishment of the end combination (stop order or operation timing, or (A combination thereof) may be applied. Further, in a case where a plurality of types of small combinations having different operation procedures (stop order, operation timing, or combinations thereof) as winning conditions are won, an operating procedure as winning conditions for the winning small role may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, the remaining number of operation procedures advantageous to the player is subtracted every time the operation procedure is shifted to RT (0), but the remaining number of operation procedures is notified once. It may be subtracted every time it is played, it may be subtracted every time it is notified a certain number of times, or it is subtracted regardless of whether or not it is notified every time a certain number of games are played. It may be a thing.

  Next, based on the timing charts of FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the setting state of the effect mode switching prohibition flag performed by the sub CPU 91a according to the progress of the game will be described.

  In the following description, the term “game” means, in a narrow sense, from the operation of the start switch 7 until the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. Of course, when a game is played, the number of bets before the start switch 7 is operated, and after the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped, medals are paid out and the game state is shifted. Is also included in the “game” in a broad sense.

  First, as shown in FIG. 17A, when a betting number setting operation is detected in a state where the game is not being executed (the betting number can be set and the specified number of betting numbers has not been set yet). When a medal is inserted with no credit remaining, or when an operation of the single BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 is detected), the effect mode switching prohibition flag is set. As a result, the operation of the effect mode switching switch 58 becomes invalid, and the effect mode cannot be switched. When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start rotating, and the game is started.

  Thereafter, the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped and the display result is derived, so that the game ends. Here, when the loss display result is derived as the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the game is ended at that time, and the set effect mode switching prohibition flag is cleared, thereby the effect mode change switch. The operation 58 becomes effective, and the effect mode can be switched.

  In addition, when the replay winning display result is derived as the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and the replay winning is generated, the same bet number as that game is automatically set simultaneously with the end of the game. The set effect mode switching prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared. That is, when a replay winning occurs, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 remains invalid even after the game ends.

  In addition, when a small combination winning display result with a medal payout is derived as a display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and a small combination winning is generated, the effect mode switching prohibition flag is maintained until the medal payout is completed. And cleared when the medal payout is completed. That is, when the small role winning is generated, the game is ended when the payout of medals is completed, and the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes effective.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the special role is won internally by the internal lottery and the performance pattern 0 is won in the special role selection suggestion effect executed in response thereto, that is, the special role win. When it is determined not to execute the suggestion effect, and the internal winning flag is carried over without generating a special prize in the game in which the special role is won, the set effect mode switching prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared. And while the selected special combination flag is carried over, it is the period from the end of the game to the setting of the number of bets for the next game until the special prize corresponding to the special combination flag is generated. However, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes invalid because the set effect mode change prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared.

  In addition, when a special prize corresponding to a special role is finally generated, the bonus game is started from the next game, so that the set effect mode can be switched even when the game where the special prize has occurred is finished. Since the prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes invalid.

  In this way, regardless of whether the internal winning flag for the special role has already been announced by the confirmed effect, if the internal winning flag for the special role is set, the game after the game will be matched. Thus, even in the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game, the effect mode cannot be selected.

  Therefore, when the player operates the effect mode switching switch 58 during the period from when the game ends to when the next game starts, the effect mode switching operation is invalidated and the effect mode cannot be selected. In this case, since it can be recognized that the internal winning flag of any one of BB (1), BB (2), and RB is set, it is possible to give the player an unexpectedness.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18A, as a result of the operation of the start switch 7 being detected and the internal lottery being performed, a small role that may be won simultaneously with the special role is won internally, If any of the performance patterns 1 to 7 is won in the special role winning suggestion effect executed in response to this, that is, if it is determined to execute the special role winning suggestion effect, the counter value of the continuous effect counter is “ 3 ”is set, and based on this, a special role selection suggestion effect is started.

  After that, every time the game starts, the counter value of the continuous effect counter is decremented by one, and when the game ends, it is checked whether the value of the continuous effect counter is “1” or more. . When the counter value is “1” or more, that is, when the special role winning suggestion effect is being executed and when continuing to the next game, it is determined whether or not the special winning internal winning flag is set. Regardless, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes invalid because the set effect mode change prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared.

  When the counter value of the continuous effect counter is 0 at the end of the game, that is, when the fourth game is completed after the special role winning suggestion effect is started, the special winning internal winning flag is set. If it is determined whether or not the internal winning flag is set, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is enabled to clear the effect mode change prohibition flag that has been set.

  In this way, even when the special role is not won internally, the special role selection suggestion effect is being executed, and the special game selection suggestion effect is not ended and the next game is continued (special role selection suggestion The operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is invalid during the period from the end of the game until the end of the third game) until the start of the next game. Even if the special role selection suggestion effect is being executed at the end of the game, it is set if it is not continued to the next game, that is, if the game is the final game of the special role suggestion effect. The effect mode switching prohibition flag is cleared, and the operation of the effect mode switching switch 58 is validated.

  Specifically, in the final game of the special role winning suggestion effect, when the game is over, a final notification indicating whether the special role is internally won or not is performed, and the player is notified that the internal winning is not achieved. For this reason, even if the image indicating the confirmation notification is still displayed, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes valid when the game ends. Therefore, when the production mode changeover switch 58 is operated at this time, the mode selection screen is switched.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously won by the internal lottery, and any one of the effect patterns 1 to 7 is performed in the special combination winning suggestion effect executed accordingly. Is won, that is, when it is decided to execute the special role winning suggestion effect, the counter value of the continuous effect counter is set to 3, and based on this, the special role winning suggestion effect is started.

  After that, when the counter value of the continuous effect counter is 1 or more at the time when the game ends, that is, the special role winning suggestion effect is being executed and the next game is continued, and the special winning internal winning flag is set. By doing so, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 becomes invalid because the set effect mode change prohibition flag is maintained without being cleared.

  When the game ends, the counter value of the continuous effect counter is cleared and becomes “0”, and even if the final game in which the special role winning suggestion effect does not continue to the next game ends, the special winning internal winning flag is set. Therefore, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 remains invalid in order to maintain the set effect mode change prohibition flag without clearing it.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the special role winning suggestion effect is being executed, and the special role winning suggestion effect being executed is not ended, and the next game If the game is continued (continuous production counter> 0), or if the internal winning flag for the special role is set, even in the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game, the production mode In order to maintain the switching prohibition flag without clearing, the operation of the effect mode switching switch 58 remains invalid.

  That is, for example, if the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is invalidated only when the internal winning flag for the special role is set, the special role is triggered by the internal winning of the small role that may be won simultaneously with the special role. When the winning suggestion effect is executed, the effect mode switching prohibition flag is cleared and the operation of the effect mode change switch 58 becomes valid during the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game. In this case, when the effect mode changeover switch 58 is operated during the execution of the special role winning suggestion effect by the player, the effect mode can be switched. In other words, this reveals that the special role has not been won internally, so even if the special role selection suggestion effect is being executed and continues to the next game, the player's Expectation will be attenuated.

  However, in this embodiment, not only the special role is won internally, but the special role winning suggestion effect is being executed, and the next game is continued without completing the special role winning suggestion effect being executed. In this case, even if the internal winning flag for the special role is not set, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is invalid until the special role winning suggestion effect ends, so the player's expectation for the special role winning The feeling can be maintained at least until the special role selection suggestion effect ends.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the special combination winning suggestion end game (fourth game) is not completed, when the special combination is not internally won, the display area 51a indicates that the special combination is not internally won. Since the confirmation notification screen is displayed, even if the confirmation notification screen remains displayed (even if the special role suggestion effect has not ended), the effect mode switching prohibition flag is cleared at the time when the game ends. Even if the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is valid, even if the special role suggestion effect end game, that is, the special role selection suggestion effect is being executed and is not continued to the next game, the effect mode switch prohibition flag is set. The operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 may be invalidated as it is set.

  Although not shown in particular, when the special combination is won internally during execution of the special combination selection suggestion effect, the operation of the effect mode change switch 58 is maintained while maintaining the effect mode change prohibition flag from the end of the game. It will be invalidated. In this case, for example, the result of the special role selection suggestion effect will change, so change to a replacement effect that replaces a part of the data, or execute the special role selection suggestion effect until the 4th game and the special role is an internal winning After the confirmation notification screen indicating that the special role is not displayed, an additional effect is executed in which a revival effect is executed in the fifth game and a confirmation notification screen is displayed indicating that the special role has been won internally.

  Thus, when an additional effect may be executed in the fifth game, the operation of the effect mode changeover switch 58 is invalidated with the effect mode switch prohibition flag set in the end game of the special role suggestion effect. Thus, even if a final notification screen indicating that the special role is not internally won in the end game of the special role winning suggestion effect is displayed, the player can expect the additional effect to be executed in the next game. Therefore, a sense of expectation can be sustained.

  Even if the special role winning suggestion effect is not executed, the operation of the effect mode switch 58 is invalidated by the internal winning of the special role, for example, that the player has won the special role internally. When the effect mode changeover switch 58 is operated without being aware of the fact that the effect mode cannot be changed in spite of the fact that it is not during the game, it is possible to recognize that the special winning combination is won internally. Can give a surprise to a person.

  In addition, since it becomes impossible to select the production mode due to the internal winning of the special role, for example, the player performs the switching operation of the production mode without noticing that the special role is internally won, and the special winning is generated as it is. So there is no distrust to the player. Specifically, for example, when the production mode A is selected when BB (1) is internally won and the production mode is changed to B or C before winning, FIG. As shown in a), there is a possibility that the average number of acquisitions of the number of notification states will be reduced, which may cause distrust to the player. Since the selection cannot be made, the above distrust is not given.

  In the present embodiment, when the special combination is won by the internal lottery, the small role GR (1) to (6), which is an example of added value advantageous to the player, is won and replayed. The number of notification state acquisitions to be controlled to the notification state in which the operation procedure notification is executed when GR (1) (2) is won, the production mode when the special combination is won internally, and the type of special combination won internally However, the added value that is advantageous to the player is not limited to the number of operation procedure notifications that are advantageous to the player as described above. The ratio controlled by the state, the length of the period controlled by the notification state, etc. are determined at different ratios depending on the production mode when the special role is won internally and the type of special role won internally Also good.

  Specifically, depending on the production mode when the special role is won internally and the type of the special role won internally, for example, whether the notification state is determined at a different rate, or the rate at which the number of notifications is different That determines the number of times to control to the notification state at a different rate, one that determines the continuation probability of the notification state at a different rate, or that determines the number of games in which the notification state is executed at a different rate Or what determines the number of continuation games required until a alerting | reporting state is generated with a different probability etc. may be sufficient.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  For example, in the above embodiment, a slot machine for setting bets using medals and credits is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a slot machine for setting bets using game balls. Alternatively, it may be a complete credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set the number of bets.

  Further, in addition to the medal insertion mechanism such as the flow path switching solenoid 30 and the insertion medal sensor 31, a ball take-in device that takes in a game ball, and a take-in ball that detects a game ball taken in by the ball take-in device In addition to a medal payout mechanism, such as a hopper motor 34b and a payout sensor 34c, a ball payout device for paying out game balls, and a payout ball detection switch for detecting game balls paid out by the ball payout device It is possible to set a bet number using both medals and game balls and play a game, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine in which medals and game balls are paid out by winning.
