Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine.

  A gaming machine such as a slot machine has a plurality of symbol display units that can display various types of symbols in a variable manner and can stop the symbols, and display the symbols on the symbol display portion in a variable manner when a predetermined operation is performed. After that, the game is configured to repeat the game in which the symbols on the symbol display unit are stopped and displayed, and the process is performed according to the stop display mode of the symbols. These gaming machines are configured to control the transition of the gaming state between a normal state and an advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state, and the player acquires many medals by shifting to the advantageous state. It becomes possible.

Some gaming machines such as slot machines have a route (movement path) through which the index as a character moves in addition to the gaming nature of a slot machine, taking into account the gaming nature of Sugoroku. For example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, there is one in which a privilege is given when a goal is reached within a map within a predetermined limit of the number of games (for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 5105575 JP 2003-275380 A

  In the conventional gaming machine described above, in the normal map display, the destination is fixed as a general rule, and the effect display until a predetermined index such as a character reaches the destination is relatively simple, There is a problem that the player becomes monotonous and gets bored with the effect display and loses interest.

On the other hand, here, a gaming machine such as a slot machine has a display device capable of displaying game contents, and as a result of a predetermined role lottery, etc., a predetermined point is acquired and the acquired points are accumulated (totaled). When the total of the accumulated benefits (points) reaches a specific threshold value, other predetermined large benefits such as a transition to an advantageous game advantageous to the player as compared with the normal game are obtained. There is something that will be directed.
In order to quantitatively grasp the process of accumulating (totaling) such benefits such as predetermined points, a map display is performed with a liquid crystal display device or the like, and an index such as a predetermined character reaches the destination. It is conceivable that such an effect is performed, and when the index moves according to a privilege such as the acquired points and reaches a predetermined point or the like, an effect is performed so that the index reaches the destination .

  However, since the destination is fixed even if it is intended to express the point total using the map display as described above, the effect display until reaching the destination is similar to the effect of the map display described above. However, there is a problem that it is relatively simple and monotonous, and the player gets bored with the effect display and loses interest.

  The present invention makes it possible to visually recognize the degree of expectation that a privilege can be acquired easily based on the distance between two indicators on the map display, and to increase the complexity rather than monotonous. An object is to provide a simple gaming machine.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present invention is characterized by the following points. In other words, the game is started by operating the start switch that can be operated by the player, and the display of the game contents can be displayed on the gaming machine 10 in which the winning lottery for determining the winning of the predetermined winning combination is performed. The apparatus has a device and can acquire predetermined points based on the result of the winning lottery, accumulates the acquired points (hereinafter referred to as “acquired points”), and stores the acquired points ( (Hereinafter referred to as “accumulated points”), a privilege advantageous to the player can be acquired . Based on the acquired points , a first index (specifically) on the route set in the display area of the display device can be obtained. Specifically, for example, at least one of a hero character) and a second index (specifically, for example, an enemy character) is movably provided, and the first index and the second index Distance on the route between the said by accumulation point is the degree of points required before obtaining the benefits, to allow notification to expectation to win the award is indicated, the route A plurality of display modes of the display area of the display device 84 that are set are provided, and a stage corresponding to each display mode is provided, so that a plurality of the display modes correspond to a plurality of the stages. Then, one of a plurality of stages can be selected according to the accumulated points by the points that can be acquired in a predetermined gaming state, and the route is determined based on the display mode corresponding to the selected stage. The display area to be set is displayed, and each display mode includes a case where the second index is displayed on the route and a case where the second index is not displayed depending on the stage. Characterized in that in the so that.

According to the present invention, it is possible to notify the player of the degree of expectation for acquiring a privilege based on the distance on the route between the first index and the second index shown in the display area of the display device 84. The player can easily recognize visually and sensorially at a glance the degree of expectation that the privilege can be obtained by looking at the distance between the first index and the second index.
Regarding the acquisition of a privilege, instead of setting a fixed destination (goal) on the route set in the display area of the display device 84, the distance between the first index and the second index is determined, Since the degree of expectation for obtaining a privilege is shown by looking at the length of the distance, the production expression is not monotonous but can be more complex and interesting.

In the present invention, when the first index and the second index are moved based on the result of the winning lottery, it can be realized by the following configuration, for example. That is, a lottery for acquiring a privilege (hereinafter referred to as a privilege lottery) is provided, and when the result of the role lottery is the first lottery result (for example, the winning of the bell role), the winning probability in the privilege lottery is calculated. The first index is increased (+ 10%), and the first index is moved closer to the second index by an amount corresponding to the first value. In addition, when the result of the lottery is the second lottery result (for example, winning of the cherry role), the winning probability in the bonus lottery is increased by the second value (+ 50%) and the amount corresponding to the second value Only the first index is moved closer to the second index. When the result of the combination lottery is the third lottery result (for example, winning the replay combination), the winning probability in the privilege lottery is reduced by the third value (−3%) and corresponds to the third value. Move the second index away from the first index by the amount. Then, the increase or decrease in the winning probability of the privilege lottery, the expectation level for acquiring the privilege, and the distance between the first index and the second index correspond to each other.
However, in the present invention, for example, each index is moved according to the points acquired based on the result of the winning lottery, and the first index and the second index are determined based on the result of the winning lottery other than the above configuration. Can be moved.

  Here, the “route” in the present invention is set in the display area of the display device 84 and having a predetermined shape. For example, it is possible to set a route having a circular shape, a U shape, a linear shape, or the like. For example, in the case of a circular route, the “distance on the route between the first index and the second index” indicates the position of the first index and the position of the second index as a circle that is the shape of the route. It is preferable that the distance is measured along the shape (circumference) (distance that is not necessarily the shortest). However, the distance is not limited to this, and the position of the first index and the position of the second index are linear. It is also possible to set the shortest distance when tied.

  In the present invention, when “notification is made so that the degree of expectation for acquiring a privilege is indicated by the distance on the route between the first index and the second index”, the current expectation (the result of the role lottery is reflected). It is good to inform so that the degree of expectation) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and notification including changes from the previous expectation level (expectation level before reflecting the result of the lottery) to the current expectation level (expectation level after reflecting the result of the role lottery) It is also possible to make it. In the former case, when the degree of expectation is notified, the degree of expectation does not change, so the index is stationary on the route. In the latter case, the degree of expectation changes when the degree of expectation is notified. In some cases, the indicator can move on the route.

  According to the present invention, according to the distance on the route between the first index and the second index shown in the display area of the display device 84, the degree of points required to obtain a privilege at the current accumulation point is determined. The player can be notified. By looking at the length of the distance between the first index and the second index, the player can see at a glance the degree (degree) of how much points can be earned to obtain the bonus visually and sensory Can be easily recognized.

  In the present invention, when a privilege is acquired based on accumulation points, for example, the privilege is acquired when the accumulation points increase from a predetermined initial value (0 points) and reach a predetermined threshold (256 points). If, for example, a bonus is obtained by winning a lottery executed with a winning probability corresponding to the accumulation point at the end of the period when the accumulation point increases from a predetermined initial value within a certain period, is there.

  In the present invention, “the distance on the route between the first index and the second index is the degree of points necessary for the accumulated points to acquire the privilege” is determined to acquire the privilege, for example. If the threshold is set to “256 points”, the accumulated points reach “192 points”, and the remaining “64 points” are required to obtain the benefits. That is, the position of the first index and the position of the second index are separated on the route by a distance corresponding to “64 points”. That is, in this example, the “64 points” becomes the “degree of necessary points”.

  In the present invention, “predetermined points can be obtained based on the result of the role lottery” means that predetermined points can be obtained based on “at least the result of the role lottery”. When acquiring predetermined points only based on the result, or when adding or subtracting points acquired by an opportunity (lottery) that does not depend on the result of the role lottery, for example, from the accumulated points acquired by the result of the role lottery Is also included.

  According to the present invention, one of a plurality of stages is selected in accordance with the accumulation points by points that can be acquired in a predetermined gaming state. As a result, the display mode of the display area is determined by the accumulated points, and the display mode of the display area can be changed by acquiring points.

Here, in the present invention, the “display mode of the display area of the display device 84 in which the route is set” specifically represents an expression indicating the distance between the first index and the second index on the route. This is an aspect (hereinafter referred to as “distance expression”). As a distance expression on the route, for example, a distance expression in which “distance between the first index and the second index on the route” and “accumulation point” are proportional (the larger the distance between the indexes, the more accumulation points there are) For example, a distance expression in which the “distance between the first index and the second index on the route” and the “accumulation point” are inversely proportional (when the distance between the indices is large, the accumulation point is It is a distance expression indicating that there are few).
In the present invention, the phrase “a plurality of display modes of the display area are provided” includes, for example, “first distance expression” and “second distance expression” as a plurality of display modes. If there is, for a specific accumulation point (64 points), the distance (64, specifically, for example, 64 mm) between the first index and the second index indicated by the “first distance expression”, That is, the distance (32, specifically, for example, 32 mm) between the first index and the second index indicated by “second distance expression” is different.

Here, the “predetermined gaming state” in the present invention may be one gaming state (for example, CZ state) or a plurality of gaming states (for example, an allowable section normal state, a CZ precursor state, and a CZ state). For example, in the case where it is determined that a predetermined winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery, the “predetermined playing state” allows the “predetermined winning combination” to be won.
At this time, when the “predetermined gaming state” includes a plurality of gaming states (for example, the CZ precursor state and the CZ state), the “predetermined combination” does not necessarily have to be shared. That is, for example, in the CZ precursor state, if you win the “first bell role”, you will get 2 points, but if you win the “second bell role”, you will not earn points, whereas in the CZ state Then, if you win the “second bell role”, you will earn 2 points, but if you win the “first bell role”, you will not earn points. There is no need to make it common.

  It should be noted that the “stage” in the present invention can notify the player of information relating to a stage, such as which stage is currently selected from among a plurality of stages, or that the stage has changed, for example. However, the information regarding the stage may not be notified to the player.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the first index is displayed on the route without being displayed outside the route, and at least when the point can be obtained. Accordingly, it is possible to move on the route accordingly.
Here, “at least when the points can be acquired” specifically includes, for example, a “CZ state” described later.

  According to the present invention, the first index is displayed on the route at least when the point can be acquired, and can be moved on the route according to the acquired point.

That is, in the present invention, at least when the points can be acquired, even when the distance between the first index and the second index is widened, the distance between the first index and the second index is reduced and approaching However, at any time, the first index is located on the route. On the other hand, in the present invention, a route is set in the display area of the display device 84. Therefore, the display area of the display device 84 includes the first index regardless of the length of the distance between the first index and the second index. Therefore, by displaying the first index in the display area of the display device 84, for example, even if the accumulation point is small and the distance between the first index and the second index is widened, there is at least a chance to acquire points. You can tell the player something.
Moreover, when the distance between the first index and the second index is wide, for example, when there are few acquired points, the distance between the first index and the second index that changes according to the acquired points. This slight movement can be expressed by the movement of the first index in the display area of the display device 84 even if the amount is small. I can tell you.

  Here, in the present invention, “at least when points can be acquired” means, for example, when points can be acquired based on the result of the role lottery, whether or not points are actually acquired (or points) This is when the combination lottery can be executed regardless of whether or not the lottery for acquiring the player has been executed.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, in the plurality of stages, the accumulation point is the displacement amount of the distance on the route between the first index and the second index. The first display stage (specifically, for example, stage 2 to be described later) in which the amount of displacement of the points necessary for obtaining a privilege is not necessarily proportional, and the route between the first index and the second index A second display step (specifically, for example, step 3 to be described later) is provided in which the amount of displacement of the point required until the accumulated point acquires the privilege is proportional to the amount of displacement of the upper distance. In addition, it is possible to shift from the first display stage to the second display stage by acquiring the points.

According to the present invention, when there are few accumulation points, it becomes the first display stage, and it is necessary for the accumulation points to acquire a privilege with respect to the displacement amount of the distance between the first index and the second index. The amount of point displacement is not necessarily proportional. As a result, the degree of points required until the privilege is acquired is not accurately displayed, and loss of motivation when there are few accumulated points can be suppressed.
When accumulating points are increased, it becomes the second display stage, and the amount of displacement of points required until the accumulating points acquire a privilege is proportional to the amount of displacement of the distance between the first index and the second index. To do. As a result, the degree (degree) of necessary points is accurately displayed. As a result, points can be acquired from the first display stage, the accumulated points can be increased, and an incentive to the goal or motivation to move to the second display stage can be generated. Can be generated.

  The above explanation is an example in which “increase (decrease) in accumulation points” corresponds to “expectation level for gaining benefits (larger)”, and “increase (decrease) in accumulation points” is “ When the expectation level for acquiring the privilege is small (large), the above description is reversed.

Here, in the present invention, “the second display stage in which the amount of displacement of the point is proportional to the amount of displacement of the distance on the route”, in other words, for example, to increase the accumulated points and acquire the privilege When the accumulation point is increased from “0 point to 40 point”, the displacement amount of the distance when the accumulation point increases from “0 point to 40 point” is “4 times” (40 points = 4 times 10 points) compared to when “10 points” is increased, and “2 times” (when accumulated points are increased from “0 points to 20 points”). 40 points = twice 20 points).
On the other hand, in the present invention, “the first display stage in which the displacement amount of the point is not necessarily proportional to the displacement amount of the distance on the route”, in other words, for example, accumulating points are increased to obtain a privilege. When the threshold value (100 points) is reached, in the “first display stage”, when the accumulation point increases from “0 point to 40 point”, the displacement amount of the distance is “0 point”. When adding to "10 points", it may be proportional "4 times" (40 points = 4 times 10 points) or non-proportional "3 times" (40 points ≠ 3 times 10 points) It is to say that sometimes.

  In the present invention, the “plurality of display stages” includes other display stages (FIG. 29) in addition to the first display stage (stage 2 in FIG. 29) and the second display stage (stage 3 in FIG. 29). It is preferable that the configuration includes the step 4). However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the configuration may include only the first display step and the second display step. Further, in the plurality of display stages, it is preferable to shift from the first display stage to the second display stage. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the other display stage goes through the first display stage and goes to the second display stage. It is also possible to shift, or for example, shift from the first display stage to the second display stage through another display stage.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the first index can be moved along the route according to the acquired points, and the second index is displayed in the first display stage. When the image is displayed outside the route in the area and the second display stage is entered, the image is displayed on the route and can be moved on the route.

  According to the present invention, the second index is not on the route in the first display stage, but is displayed on the route only after the second display stage and can move on the route. By displaying the second index on the route, a distance from the first index is generated, and the degree of the necessary point can be notified by the distance. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the willingness to move from the first display stage to the second display stage by increasing the accumulation points.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the first index can be moved along the route according to the acquired points, and the process proceeds from the first display stage to the second display stage. In this case, the second index is displayed at a position corresponding to the accumulation point from the position of the first index.

  According to the present invention, when shifting from the first display stage to the second display stage, the second index is displayed at a position corresponding to the accumulation point from the position of the first index. The position can be set as a reference, and the position of the first index can be adjusted as it is with the position of the second index, and the continuity of the production can be maintained.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the display area of the display device 84 is not displayed on the display device 84 by operating a predetermined operation switch that can be operated by the player. The state is changed from the state to the display state.

  According to the present invention, when the player has not acquired many points, he / she does not want to see the display area where the points necessary for acquiring the privilege are visually displayed. There is a player who feels that he wants to see the display area only when the player is in the state. Such a player can select whether or not to display the display area by the player's own operation.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, when the display area is in the non-display state, the display device 84 does not display the entire display area, and the first display area of the display area is not displayed. It is possible to display a part including an index.
Here, “a part of the display area including the first index can be displayed” specifically includes, for example, a mini map display described later.

  According to the present invention, if the display device 84 displays only a part of the display area including the first index without displaying the entire display area, whether or not the second index exists near the first index. Can be recognized. Thereby, when the second index does not exist near the first index, the display device 84 can be used for notification of other information.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention may further display the first index on the route without being displayed outside the route when at least the privilege can be obtained, It is possible to move on the route according to the result.
Here, “movable on the route according to the result of the lottery” specifically means that, for example, when a predetermined role A is won, the first index is moved closer to the second index by one point. Those to be moved and those that move the first index by one point away from the second index when the predetermined combination B is won are included.

  According to the present invention, the first index is displayed on the route at least when the privilege can be acquired, and can be moved on the route according to the result of the role lottery.

The process ends with the payout of medals exceeding the prescribed number corresponding to the type of bonus, and the process proceeds to RT0 (see FIG. 12).

  The bonus internal medium control means 254 controls the bonus internal medium game. This internal bonus game is transferred when the bonus transition combination is won and the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the active line 86. Then, the bonus game is finished by aligning the symbols of the bonus transition combination with the active line 86 in the inside of the bonus (transition to the bonus game). Here, the “bonus internal state” includes RT4 (see FIG. 12).

The permission section control means 260 controls a “permission section” to be described later with reference to FIG.
And the production | generation etc. which alert | report the pushing order of the stop switch 50 are performed using the production | generation control means 420 mentioned later.
In addition, when the permitted lot transition means 267, which will be described later, is performed based on the winning of the predetermined permitted section transition trigger, the permitted section shift lottery is performed, and when the lottery is won, the “permitted section normal state” is changed from the “non-permitted section normal state”. "Is made.
In addition, when the CZ transition lottery determined in advance by the part lottery performed by the part lottery means 210 is won and the CZ transition lottery by the transition lottery means 267 is won during the permitted section normal state, The “CZ state” can be shifted to the “CZ precursor state”. In addition, when the predetermined sign production of “CZ precursor state” is completed, the state shifts to “CZ state”.

  Here, the winning probability of the winning combination lottery that triggers the transition to the permitted section is set so that there is no difference due to the set value.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the case of shifting to the “CZ state”, and may be directly shifted to the “AT state”.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the permission section control means 260 includes each means of a permission section normal control means 263, a CZ precursor control means 264, a CZ control means 261, and an AT control means 262.

  In addition, although not shown in the figure, the permission section control means 260 counts the number of games since the transition to the permission section, and achieves the end condition of the permission section by achieving the count to 1500 times. Decide that. The number of games 1500 is not limited to the number of games, and may be other games.

The permitted section normal control means 263 controls the “permitted section normal state” of the “permitted section” shown in FIG. The permission section normal control means 263 informs the small combination relating to the maximum payout number at least once during the permission section of the pressing order.
The CZ precursor control means 264 controls the “CZ precursor state” of the “permitted section” shown in FIG.
The CZ control means 261 controls the “CZ state” of the “permitted section” shown in FIG.

  The AT control means 262 controls the “AT state” shown in FIG. Then, the effect control means 420 is used to execute an effect that informs the pressing order of the stop switch 50.

  The AT state is also called “assist time”. When the AT state is entered, a game in which the winning order of the selected small role is notified is started, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified pressing order, The winning combination of symbols can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out. In the present embodiment, the AT state is controlled by the main control means 200 side. At this time, when the state shifts to the “RT” state controlled by the RT control means 252 on the main control means 200 side, the “ART” state It becomes. The “ART” state is a gaming state in the “RT” state and the “AT” state.

  In the present embodiment, the game in the AT state is set so that 50 games can be played as the initial number of games, and the AT control means 262 allows the number of games that have been consumed to reach the 50 games. It is set to end the “AT” state.

  Although the “AT” state is controlled by the AT control means 262 arranged on the main control means 200 side, the present invention is not limited to this, and all or a part of the “AT” state is controlled on the sub-control means 400 side. Also good.

  The non-permission section control means 266 controls a non-permission section normal state that is a normal state in the non-permission section.

  Transition lottery means 267 determines whether or not to shift to a permitted section by lottery using a pre-stored winning probability when a predetermined transition lottery is won as a result of a role lottery during a non-permitted section Is. Specifically, the transition lottery means 267 performs a permissible section transition lottery as a result of the role lottery during the non-permitted section normal state, and performs a permitted section transition lottery. Transition to the normal state of the permitted section.

In the present embodiment, the above-described permitted section transition lottery is won, and furthermore, based on the result of the permitted section transition lottery, the presence / absence of transition to the permitted section is determined. Instead of the above-described permitted section transition lottery, the winning section may be entered into the permitted section as a result of winning the permitted section transition lottery as described above.
In addition, the transition lottery means 267 performs the CZ transition lottery when a predetermined CZ transition opportunity combination is won as a result of the role lottery during the permitted section normal state, and when the lottery is won, the transition to the CZ precursor state is performed.

  In this embodiment, the above-mentioned CZ transition opportunity is won, and furthermore, based on the result of the CZ transition lottery, the presence / absence of transition to the CZ precursor state is determined. Instead of the above-described CZ transition lottery, the CZ transition lottery may be shifted to the CZ precursor state as a result of the winning combination lottery as described above.

The non-permission section is a state in which the notification of the stop operation order is not permitted, and has a non-permission section normal state that is a normal state.
Here, in the present embodiment, when shifting from the permitted section to the non-permitted section, all data related to functions related to notification of operation procedures and the like are set to be initialized.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of payout sheets (9 sheets in the present embodiment) is permitted when at least one notification of the procedure for stopping the pressing order (the pressing order notification, specifically, bell navigation) is performed. It is formed so that the transition from the section to the non-permitted section is possible.

  The initial point determination means 265 is for performing an initial point lottery when shifting to the CZ precursor state. The initial point determination means 265 selects one numerical value as an initial point from among 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 points at the time of transition to the CZ precursor state. Of course, the plurality of points to be selected are not limited to those described above, and other numerical points may be used. The lottery method uses a loop counter in the same manner as the combination lottery means 210.

  In the present embodiment, the point is synchronized with the distance on the route between the first index indicating the position of the main character displayed on the display device 84 and the second index indicating the position of the enemy character, The initial point corresponds to the first distance at which the first index and the second index are displayed.

In the CZ state, the acquisition point determination unit 270 determines the acquisition points by lottery based on the winning combination as a result of the combination lottery unit 210.
Here, the acquired points are subtracted from the accumulation points to reduce the distance between the first index and the second index, and added to the accumulation points to determine the distance between the first index and the second index. There are two types of added values to be increased.
The accumulation point is a point obtained by acquiring an initial point and adding the added value or subtracting the subtracted value from the initial point. This accumulation point is an integer value having a minimum value of 0, and when the subtraction value is subtracted, the accumulation point is set to 0.

  Since the transition to the AT state is determined when the accumulation point reaches the specified value 0 as the threshold value, the subtraction value increases the possibility of transition to the AT state, and the added value can transition to the AT state. It will lower the nature.

As a result of the role lottery, the winning group (LBE1, LBE2, CBE1, CBE2, RBE1 or RBE2), cherry (CH1 or CH2), watermelon (WM1 or WM2), chance (CZ1 or CZ2) was won as a winning group. In this case, one is selected by lottery from a plurality of numerical values of 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 as a subtraction value (see FIG. 27A). In addition, it is not limited to these numerical values, You may set to another numerical value. Moreover, it is not limited to the combination mentioned above, You may set to another combination.
The selected numerical value becomes a “subtraction value” as an acquisition point, the numerical value of the acquisition point is subtracted from the current accumulation point, and the numerical value after the subtraction is set as a new accumulation point.

  In addition, as a result of the role lottery, an addition lottery for addition is executed in response to the winning of RP01 or RP03 to 06 shown in FIG. 28, and when this addition lottery is won, 0, 8, 16, An addition value lottery is performed in which one is selected by lottery from a plurality of numerical values of 32 and 64. Then, the selected numerical value becomes an acquisition point, the numerical value of the acquisition point is added to the current accumulation point, and the numerical value after the addition is set as a new accumulation point. In addition, it is not limited to these numerical values, other numerical values may be set, and it is not limited to the above-described combination, and may be set to another combination.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the relationship between the winning combination, the subtraction value, and the addition value is set, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. In the present embodiment, it is determined which of the added value and the subtracted value is determined depending on the type of the winning combination, but either the subtracted value or the added value (or both) is acquired by the same winning combination. It may be possible. For example, when a predetermined winning combination is won, a lottery for acquiring a subtraction value is first performed, and when a winning combination is not performed, a lottery for acquiring an added value may be performed.

  Further, both lotteries for obtaining the subtraction value and the addition value may be performed simultaneously. At that time, if both the subtraction value and the addition value are won, both numerical values are reflected. For example, when the subtraction value of 3 points and the addition value of 2 points are won, −3 + 2 = −1, and as a result, the subtraction value of 1 point is obtained. In addition, for example, when the subtraction value 3 points and the addition value 3 points are won, it becomes -3 + 3 = 0, and as a result, the subtraction value (or addition value) becomes 0 points, and neither has been acquired. It will be the same.

Note that the lottery probability in the winning lottery of the winning combination (L_BE, C_BE, C_BE, R_BE, CH, WM, CZ, RT of the winning combination group) that triggers the acquisition of the addition value and the subtraction value is different depending on the set value. Not to be. That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.
In the present embodiment, as described above, both the subtraction value and the addition value are provided as the acquisition points. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the subtraction is performed without the addition value. You may make it have only a value.

In the present embodiment, the acquisition point determination means 270 performs a lottery to determine an acquisition point when a predetermined combination as described above is won as a result of a combination lottery as a predetermined opportunity. The acquisition point is not limited to the trigger, and the acquired points may be determined in addition to the predetermined trigger or a different trigger from the predetermined trigger. Specifically, for example, as an opportunity different from the predetermined opportunity, a lottery for determining an acquisition point may be performed in each game. That is, in each game, regardless of the result of the lottery, without referring to the result of the lottery, the subtraction value as the acquisition point is one of 0, 8, 16, 32, 64 points. The subtraction value may be determined by lottery (see FIG. 27B). Of course, not the subtraction value but the addition value may be determined, or both the addition value and the subtraction value may be determined.
Also, a plurality of types are provided for the enemy character as the second index, a subtraction value or an addition value consisting of a numerical value corresponding to the type of the second index is prepared in advance, and further according to the type of the second index You may make it determine by the lottery using a different lottery probability.

The accumulation point determination means 280 is for setting accumulation points.
In the accumulation point determination means 280, an initial point is set by the initial point determination means 265, and initially, the initial point is set as an accumulation point.
The accumulation point determination means 280 then subtracts the acquisition point that is the subtraction value from the accumulation point when the acquisition point determination means 270 acquires the acquisition point that is the subtraction value, and then adds the subtraction value to the new accumulation point. Set as.

  In addition, when the acquisition point determination unit 270 acquires an acquisition point that is an addition value, the accumulation point determination unit 280 adds the acquisition point that is the addition value to the accumulation point, and adds the added numerical value to a new accumulation point. Set as.

Note that this accumulation point corresponds to the distance on the route between the first index and the second index in the map display displayed on the display device 84 in the CZ state, and the accumulation point reaches 0, When the distance between the first index and the second index reaches 0, the transition to the AT state (ART ready state and ART state) is determined. However, in the present embodiment, because of the stage (described later) when the accumulation point is 0, the distance between the first index and the second index displayed in the display area of the display device 84 is not always 0. Absent.
In the present embodiment, when the accumulation point reaches 0 as a specified value, the transition to the AT state (ART ready state and ART state) is confirmed, and the next game is shifted to the ART ready state. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. When the accumulation point reaches 0 points, the lottery for shifting to the AT state is performed. May return to the non-permitted section normal state.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, 0 point is set as the specified value, and when the accumulation point reaches the specified value 0 point, it is possible to shift to the AT state. The specified value is not limited to 0 points. Specifically, for example, 256 points may be set as the prescribed value, and when the accumulation point reaches the prescribed value 256 points, the transition to the AT state may be possible. At that time, the winning combination group that can acquire the subtraction value as the acquisition point described in the present embodiment, push order bell (LBE1, LBE2, CBE1, CBE2, RBE1 or RBE2), cherry (CH1 or CH2), watermelon (WM1) Or WM2), when winning a chance (CZ1 or CZ2), add 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 points to the accumulated points, and earn points described in this embodiment When a replay combination that can acquire the added value is won, one of 0, 8, 16, 32, and 64 points is subtracted from the accumulated points.

The transmission means 300 is for transmitting a signal (command) to the sub-control means 400.
The transmitting unit 300 transmits point information, which is information about points, to the sub-control unit 400 as will be described later. Here, the point information has an accumulation point when the start switch 40 is operated in the CZ state. In addition to the point state, the remaining number of games in the CZ state is transmitted.

  The transmission unit 300 transmits information related to the lottery result of the role lottery executed using the lottery probability corresponding to the specific setting value selected from the plurality of types of setting values to the receiving unit 410 of the sub-control unit 400. .

Further, when winning combination is selected by the combination lottery means 210 in the AT state, the transmission unit 300 can specify an operation procedure specifying command (related to the stop operation order of the pressing order) that can specify an advantageous operation procedure corresponding to the pressing order. Command) to the receiving means 410.
In the present embodiment, the information for specifying a specific set value set by the main control means 200 is extracted, for example, in the middle of a transmission path (transmission path such as a harness). In order to prevent such illegal acts (so-called goto acts), they are not transmitted to the sub-control means 400. Of course, setting value information may be transmitted to the sub-control means 400.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control unit 400 includes a reception unit 410, a movement amount determination unit 430, and an effect control unit 420. Details of each means will be described later.

  With the above configuration, the sub-control unit 400 receives a signal from the main control unit 200 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

Specifically, the sub-control unit 400 outputs data defining the turning on / off of the LED to an LED driving circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs a sound from the speaker 72. Video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84, or to output data defining audio to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) for output Or output data that specifies
In the CZ state, the sub-control unit 400 has a first index that means a rhombus protagonist character and a second index that means an enemy character that is a scope-type symbol mark on the dotted line route on the display device 84. The moving map display can be output (see FIG. 18).
Based on the result of the lottery, at least one of the first index and the second index is provided to be movable on the route set in the display area of the display device 84.
And it is enabled to notify that the degree of expectation for acquiring the ART state as a privilege is indicated by the distance on the route between the first index and the second index.

The sub-control unit 400 can execute an effect in which at least one of the first index and the second index can move on the route based on the accumulation point.
The sub-control unit 400 determines that the distance on the route between the first index and the second index is a degree of points necessary for the accumulation point to acquire the ART state as a privilege in a predetermined case. It is possible to execute an effect that can be notified so that the degree of expectation is indicated.
The distance on the route between the first index and the second index corresponds to the accumulation point, and it is possible to suggest the possibility of transition to the ART state by the distance.

  The receiving unit 410 receives a signal (command) transmitted from the transmitting unit 300. This signal includes the point information described above.

The movement amount determining means 430 sets points corresponding to the movement amounts of the first index and the second index on the route based on the point information of the main game received by the receiving means 410, and on the route based on the points. This is for determining the amount of movement.
The movement amount determination means 430 determines the stage of the game based on the accumulation points of the game transmitted from the main control means 200.
Specifically, when the accumulation point is in the range of 256 to 201 (256 or less and 201 or more), the movement amount determining means 430 sets the stage 1 and the accumulation point is 200 to 151 (200 or less and 151 or more). ) Is set to stage 2, when the accumulation point is 150 to 51 (150 or less and 51 or more), it is set to stage 3, and when the accumulation point is 50 to 0 (50 or less and 0 or more), stage 4 is set. Set to.

  In FIG. 18, a dotted line is drawn on the route, but this is only shown so that the position of the route can be understood. The map display on the display device 84 displayed to the player shows the dotted line of the route. Is not shown. The route is divided into a total of 256 divisions, and one division corresponds to one point. The first index and the second index are set to be movable with one division (one point) as one unit. That is, the half circumference is set to 256 divisions and corresponds to 0 points to 256 points. In the present embodiment, when 256 points in the route half are exceeded, the distance between the two is shortened. Therefore, even at the maximum initial point, 256 points are set as the maximum value. The maximum value of 256 points may be set so as to be able to exceed half a circle. In this case, the roles of the subtraction value and the addition value are reversed at the time when it exceeds half a circle.

  The movement amount determination means 430 sets the acquisition points of the game based on the accumulated points as the transmitted point information. Note that these acquired points and accumulated points are recorded in the past multiple times (specifically, not limited to once, of course, once) in the same manner as the coordinate positions of the first index and the second index. It is stored as information.

The effect control means 420 is for executing a display effect performed by the display device 84.
The effect control means 420 is an effect according to the winning combination based on the result of the role lottery, an effect according to each effect state such as a normal state, a CZ precursor state, a CZ state, an ART preparation state, an ART state, a bonus state, An effect or the like for notifying the stop operation order is performed. A plurality of these effects are provided, and the effect control means 420 selects a predetermined effect by lottery and executes the selected effect via the effect device 70.

When the special combination (push order) is won by the combination lottery means 210 in the AT state, the effect control means 420 receives the operation procedure specification command (command related to the stop operation order of the push order) received by the reception means 410. Then, the advantageous operation procedure is specified, and the operation procedure effect execution state in which the display device 84 performs an effect that allows the advantageous operation procedure to be specified is set.
Based on the movement amount on the route determined by the movement amount determination unit 430, the effect control unit 420 determines that the first index and the second index are determined in the determined direction and the determined movement amount in the step 3 described later. An effect of moving up.

Furthermore, it demonstrates concretely.
In this Embodiment, it is formed so that the point as a 1st privilege can be acquired based on a role lottery result as a predetermined opportunity. The accumulated points (acquired points) as the first privilege are accumulated, and when the accumulated points (accumulated points) reach a specified value (specifically, 0 points), the state becomes the ART state as the second privilege. It is formed to be transferable.
As will be described later, there are two types of points to be acquired: a subtraction value to be subtracted from the accumulation point and an addition value to be added to the accumulation point.

For example, in the arrangement shown in FIG. 18, the subtraction value according to the present embodiment is such that the first index on the route is mainly rotated and the relative position of both is changed to approach the second index. is there.
Specifically, for example, when the second index is stopped, the first index is moved in the counterclockwise direction to reduce the distance between them.
For example, by moving the second index by a predetermined distance in the counterclockwise rotation direction, and moving the first index by a distance longer than the predetermined distance by which the second index moves in the counterclockwise rotation direction, The distance may be decreased.
In the present embodiment, as described above, rotation is possible in any rotation direction, but the rotation direction may be limited to any rotation direction.

  For example, in the arrangement of each index of the map display as shown in FIG. 18, the added value according to the present embodiment is obtained by rotating the first index on the route and changing the relative position between the two. Is moved away from the second index.

Specifically, for example, when the second index is stopped, the first index is moved in the clockwise direction to increase the distance between them.
Further, for example, by moving the second index by a predetermined distance in the counterclockwise rotation direction, and moving the first index by a distance shorter than the predetermined distance by which the second index moves in the counterclockwise rotation direction, Increase distance.
In the present embodiment, as described above, rotation is possible in any rotation direction, but the rotation direction may be limited to any rotation direction.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, movement of at least one of the first index as the main character (main character) and the second index as the enemy character shown on the display device 84 is executed based on the accumulation points, The difference between the accumulation point and the specified value (0 point) is formed so as to be notified by an enlarged map display as a distance on the route as a relative position between the first index and the second index.

  Here, although the route is a circular orbit, the first index and the second index are set so as to correspond to 256 points on the diagonal line (the opposite position) that is the farthest position on the route. Has been.

  In this Embodiment, the expectation degree which acquires the ART state as a privilege can be alert | reported by the distance on the route | root between a 1st parameter | index and a 2nd parameter | index.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of display modes of the display area (each character appearance area including the root) of the display device 84 in which the root is set are provided. Each display mode is provided with a corresponding stage, so that a plurality of display modes correspond to a plurality of stages.

Any one of a plurality of stages is formed so as to be selectable according to the accumulation points by the points that can be acquired in the CZ state. A display area in which a route is set is displayed based on the display mode corresponding to the selected stage.
Specifically, four display modes correspond to four stages (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and stage 4).

  Specifically, in the CZ state, when the accumulation point is 256 to 201 (256 or less and 201 or more), Stage 1 is selected, and when the accumulation point is 200 to 151 (200 or less and 151 or more), Stage 2 is If the accumulation point is 150 to 51 (150 or less and 51 or more), stage 3 is selected, and if the accumulation point is 50 to 0 (50 or less and 0 or more), stage 4 is selected. (See FIG. 29).

  In stage 1, only the first index is displayed on the route, and the second index is not displayed on the map including the route (see FIGS. 16 and 29).

  In the present embodiment, the main character as the first index is displayed on the route without being displayed outside the map display route on the display device 84 when the point can be obtained in the CZ state. It is formed to be movable on the route according to the points. Therefore, the first index is located on the map display route in all stages 1, 2, 3, and 4, and can move on the route according to the acquired points.

In stage 2, the first index is displayed on the route, and the second index is displayed at a position in the map that is not on the route (see FIGS. 17 and 29).
In the present embodiment, in stage 2, the position of the second index is a fixed position, but is not particularly limited to this, and is a position that is not on the route and that corresponds to the accumulation point. It may be arranged so that it has a certain relationship with the accumulation point. Specifically, for example, when the accumulation point is 150 to 117, it is set to a position outside or on the route at a distance X from the first index, and when the accumulation point is 116 to 84, the distance Y from the first index is set. When the accumulation point is set to 83 to 51 outside the route or on the route, the accumulation point may be set to be outside or on the route at a distance Z from the first index. The relationship between the distances X, Y, and Z is such that X>Y> Z. That is, even if the amount of displacement of the points necessary for the accumulated points to acquire a privilege is not necessarily proportional to the amount of displacement of the distance between the first index and the second index outside or on the route. Good.

In stage 3, the first index and the second index are displayed on the route (see FIGS. 18 and 29).
In stage 3, the first index is movable along the route in accordance with the accumulation point, and when moving from stage 2 to stage 3, the second index is a position corresponding to the accumulation point from the position of the first index. Is displayed.

In stage 3, the amount of displacement of the points required for the accumulated points to acquire a privilege is proportional to the amount of displacement of the distance on the route between the first index and the second index. .
Specifically, for example, the movement behavior is as follows.

  In the present embodiment, for example, in the case of the arrangement shown in FIG. 18, the rotation direction on the route of the first index when the subtraction value is reflected in the first index is set to the counterclockwise rotation direction (counterclockwise). Then, the rotation direction on the route of the second index when the subtraction value is reflected in the second index is set to the clockwise rotation direction (clockwise), and as a result, the distance between the two is moved in a shorter direction. .

In the present embodiment, for example, in the case of the arrangement shown in FIG. 18, the rotation direction on the route of the first index when the added value is reflected in the first index is the counterclockwise rotation direction (counterclockwise). The rotation direction on the route of the second index when the added value is reflected on the second index is set to the counterclockwise rotation direction (counterclockwise), and the second index is an added value more than the first index. As a result, it is moved in the direction in which the distance between the two becomes longer.
Of course, it is not particularly limited to this. Depending on a predetermined trigger, the rotation direction on the route of the first index may be set to the clockwise rotation direction (clockwise), and both may be rotated in the opposite directions and set in a direction in which both are separated.
In the present embodiment, the map display map type is set to one type, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and a plurality of types of map display may be used. At that time, when the map display is changed, the rotation direction described above may be changed to the reverse direction.

  In stage 4, both the first index and the second index are displayed on the route, but the distance on the route between the first index and the second index is a constant value regardless of the change of the accumulation point. (See FIGS. 19 and 29).

  That is, the hero character as the first index can move along the route according to the accumulation point, but the enemy character as the second index is not displayed in the stage 1, and in the display area in the stage 2. It is displayed outside the route, and in steps 3 and 4, it is displayed on the route and is movable on the route.

In the present embodiment, in the CZ state, the display device 84 displays a moving background screen as a background screen on which the main character moves as the first index as shown in FIG. On a part of the moving background screen, a mini map display (circular diameter region portion in FIG. 14) around the first index in the enlarged map display of the map display is performed.
The mini-map display of the display device 84 includes the first index in the display area of the enlarged map display without displaying the entire display area of the enlarged map display when the display area of the enlarged map display is in the non-display state. A part is displayed.

  In the current CZ state, when the mini-map display is being performed, the player presses the button switch 42 that can be operated, so that the display device 84 overlaps the near side of the moving background screen. An enlarged map display, which is an entire image of the set map, is displayed (see FIG. 15). That is, by pressing the effect button switch 42, the display area not displayed in the mini map display is changed from the non-display state to the display state.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in the CZ state in which the transition to the ART state can be acquired, the first index is displayed on the route without being displayed outside the route, and according to the acquired points. Although it is formed to be movable on the route, it is not particularly limited to this. For example, according to the result of the lottery in the CZ state, the route may be movable.

Next, the “game state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The state of “game” is managed by the main control means 200 and, as shown in FIG. 12, is roughly divided into “normal game”, “RT game”, “bonus internal game” and “bonus game”. “RT game” is an abbreviation of so-called “replay time game”. When the “RT game” is entered, in principle, the lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, the re-game probability increases.

  In addition, the winning probability for the re-gamer in each gaming state is set to 1 / 7.3 in the normal game RT0 (initial state), and in the normal game RT1, the same 1 / 7.3 as RT0. Is set to

  In RT games RT2 and RT3 and bonus internal medium game RT4, the winning probability of the re-game is set higher than that of normal games RT0 and RT1. In RT4, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set lower than RT2 or RT3 but higher than RT0 and RT1. Of course, the winning probability of this RT4 re-gamer may be set equal to RT0 and RT1, or may be set equal to RT2 or RT3 or higher than RT2 or RT3.

The “normal game” is controlled by the normal game control means 251 and includes “RT0” and “RT1”.
From “RT0” to “RT1”, a transition is made when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 transition symbol is stopped and displayed. Here, the “push order spilling design” means, for example, when CBE1 or CBE2 as a winning group is won (see FIG. 11) and the push order is incorrect (the stop switch 50 is operated with the first left stop). The symbol 61 is displayed in a stopped state. In “RT0”, push order navigation is not executed, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the left first stop. Therefore, when the winning combination group CBE1 or CBE2 is won at RT0 and the stop switch 50 is operated by the player at the left first stop, the RT1 transition symbol is stopped and transitioned to “RT1”.

“RT game” is controlled by the RT control means 252, and there are “RT 2” and “RT 3”, which have a higher probability of winning a re-game player than “normal game”.
Here, from “normal game” to “RT game”, specifically, from “RT1” to “RT2”, RT2RP1 to RT2RP4 as the RT2 transition symbols are won (see FIG. 10), and the correct answer is pushed in the order. When the stop switch 50 is operated to stop, the RT2 replay symbol as the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT2”.

In RT2, if the winning group RT2RP5 to RT2RP9 is won (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in a pressing order other than the correct pressing order, RT1 replay as an RT1 transition pattern is performed. The symbol is stopped and the display shifts to “RT1”.
Furthermore, in RT2, when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 transition symbol is stopped and displayed, the routine proceeds to “RT1”.

When “RT2” to “RT3” are elected from RT3RP1 to RT3RP3 as the winning group (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in the correct pushing order, RT3 as the RT3 transition symbol The replay symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT3”.
In RT3, when RT3RP4 to RT3RP6 as the winning group is won (see FIG. 10) and the stop switch 50 is stopped in a pressing order other than the correct pressing order, RT1 replay as an RT1 transition pattern is performed. The symbol is stopped and the display shifts to “RT1”. Furthermore, in RT3, when the push order spilling symbol as the RT1 specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to “RT1”.

  “Bonus internal medium game” is controlled by the bonus internal medium control means 254, and in the normal game or RT game, one of RBB1 to RBB4 as a winning combination group is won and a symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination is displayed. When the stop display cannot be made on the active line 86, the process shifts (see FIG. 9).

In this embodiment, one “bonus internal game” is provided, but a bonus internal game may be provided according to the type of “bonus game” described later.
Specifically, the first bonus internal medium game corresponding to the first bonus combination, the second bonus internal medium game corresponding to the second bonus combination, and the third bonus internal medium game corresponding to the third bonus combination as the bonus transfer combination. When a fourth bonus internal medium game corresponding to the fourth bonus combination is provided, and the combination of symbols of the first bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the first bonus internal medium game, the game proceeds to the bonus game “BB1”, and the second bonus When the combination of symbols of the second bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the internal game, the game shifts to the bonus game “BB2”, and when the combination of symbols of the third bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the third bonus internal game, the bonus game is displayed. When the game proceeds to “BB3” and the combination of symbols of the fourth bonus combination is stopped and displayed in the fourth bonus internal game, the game moves to the bonus game “BB4”.

The “bonus game” is controlled by the bonus game control means 253, and there is “RBB (big bonus)”.
“RBB (Big Bonus)” is transferred by stopping and displaying the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination which is an example of the special combination on the active line 86 in “RT4”.
In addition, “RBB (Big Bonus)” is selected as a bonus transition role as an example of a special role in “Normal Game” and “RT Game”, and a symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role is placed on the active line 86. It shifts by displaying stop.

Here, “RBB (Big Bonus)” includes “BB1”, “BB2”, “BB3”, and “BB4”.
In addition, the “RBB (Big Bonus)” is a regular bonus (RB) that is continuously operated, and ends with the payout of over 400 medals for BB1 and BB2, and over 200 for BB3 and BB4.
Then, after “BB1 to BB4” is completed, the process proceeds to “normal game (RT0)”.

Next, a push order notification state will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13, the push order notification states (notification states) include “non-permitted section” and “permitted section”.
Here, the “non-permitted section” indicates to the player when the stop switch 50 is operated in the pre-determined push order by the winning lottery and the winning push combination is won. It is an impossible section.

In addition, the “permitted section” can be shifted from the “non-permitted section”, and when the stop switch 50 is operated in the predetermined push order by the winning lottery, when the winning push winning combination is won. This is a section in which the player can be notified of the pushing order.
The “non-permitted section” is a section excluding the “permitted section”, and the “non-permitted section” includes a “non-permitted section normal state”.
The non-permitted section normal state is a special section such as “permitted section normal state”, “CZ precursor state (chance zone precursor state)”, “CZ state (chance zone state)”, “AT state”, etc. This is a state excluding the state.
The gaming state during stay in the non-permitted section normal state is mainly staying in “RT1” of the normal game (see FIG. 6).

From “non-permitted section” to “permitted section”, specifically, from “non-permitted section normal state” to “permitted section normal state”, a predetermined transition trigger role in the role lottery in the non-permitted section normal state, for example, It shifts based on having won the permission section shift lottery performed based on having won the “watermelon role”. It should be noted that the transition from “non-permitted section normal state” to “permitted section normal state” is not limited to transition based on winning the permitted section transition lottery, but based on winning a predetermined transition trigger. It may be migrated.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the transition from the “non-permitted zone normal state” to the “permitted zone normal state”, and the transition to the “CZ state” may be made without passing through the “permitted zone normal state”.

Moreover, the permission section normal state is a state in which the non-permission section normal state in the non-permission section is continued, and the performance is the same in the permission section normal state and the non-permission section normal state.
That is, the difference between the “non-permitted section normal state” and the “permitted section normal state” is the difference between the staying section being “non-permitted section” or “permitted section”.

The “permitted section” is an area more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”, and is “permitted section normal state”, “CZ precursor state (chance zone precursor state)”, “CZ state (chance zone state)” ”And“ AT state ”.
In this “permitted section”, an instruction relating to a combination of symbols related to winning in which the maximum payout number is obtained at least once is to be given.
For example, among the plurality of small combinations, the small combination relating to the maximum payout number is notified at least once, for example, the pressing order of “push order bell combination”.

Here, the section advantageous to the player means that, for example, in the non-permitted section, the winning combination that is awarded when the stop switch 50 is operated in the predetermined pressing order by the combination lottery is won. Even if it is a case, it is possible to inform the player of the pushing order from the state where it was impossible to do so, or because the ART state that is not executed in the non-permitted section is executed, It is a section that is advantageous to the elderly.
Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to be advantageous throughout the entire “permitted section”. For example, one of the “permitted sections” may be the same for the non-permitted section normal state and the permitted section normal state. There may be cases where the player is not advantageous to the player.
The permitted section normal state is controlled by the permitted section normal control means 263, and is a state excluding special states such as “CZ precursor state”, “CZ state”, and “AT state” in the “permitted section”.
The gaming state during the stay in the allowed section normal state is mainly staying in “RT1” of the normal game (see FIG. 12).

In the permitted section normal state, in order to shift to the “AT state” via the “CZ precursor state” and the “CZ state”, first, if the “CZ state” transition lottery (CZ transition lottery) is won, The process proceeds to the “CZ state” via the “precursor state”.
The CZ transfer lottery can be executed when a predetermined combination (CZ transfer opportunity combination) is won as a result of the combination lottery (see FIG. 32).

  When shifting from the permitted section normal state to the CZ precursor state, the initial point determination means 265 performs the initial point lottery.

In this “CZ precursor state”, the map display described above is not displayed on the display device 84.
In the “CZ precursor state”, when the accumulation point reaches 150 or less, the moving background screen display and the mini map display are performed by the display device 84, and an indication to shift to the “CZ state” is made. The display in which the first index and the second index are located at the determined distance is not performed.

In the “CZ state”, map display is performed by the display device 84, and any one of the map display steps 1 to 4 is performed corresponding to the accumulation point. Furthermore, when the accumulation point calculated by the accumulation point determination means 280 reaches 0 point, the transition to the AT state (ART state) is confirmed.
In addition, you may make it transfer to a CZ state directly from a permission area normal state, without passing through a CZ precursor state, and you may make it transfer to an AT state directly from a permission area normal state.
Note that the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that triggers the transition lottery is set so as not to differ depending on the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.

The “CZ state” is a state in which it is easier to shift to the “AT state” than the “permitted section normal state”.
In the present embodiment, the “CZ state” is composed of 24 games, and when the transition to the “AT state” is confirmed during the number of games, that is, in this embodiment, the accumulation point is 0. When the point is reached, the state shifts to the “AT state”, and the transition to the “AT state” is not confirmed. In this embodiment, when the accumulation point does not reach the 0 point, at least 1 The process returns to the “non-permitted section normal state” on condition that an instruction relating to a combination of symbols related to winning in which a maximum payout number of times is obtained (notification of the pressing order) is given.

  The “AT state” is a state more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”. When the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notified pressing order, whereby the selected small role or replay The combination of symbols of the combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

“AT state” includes “ART ready state” and “ART state”.
“ART ready state” is an “AT state” when the game state is “RT1 state” in FIG. 12, and is won as an RT2 transition combination in which “RT1 state” transitions to “RT2 state”. In this case, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the transition combination is notified. When the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notification, the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed, the gaming state shifts to the “RT2 state”, and shifts to the “ART state”.

  The “ART state” is a state more advantageous to the player than the “non-permitted section”. When the “ART state” is entered, the AT state, which is a game in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified, and the RT2 state are started, and the winning switch is operated by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notified pressing order. It is possible to stop and display the combination of symbols of the small role. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

  FIG. 14 shows a moving background screen display as a normal effect screen displayed on the display device 84 and a mini map display in stage 3 of the CZ state.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the CZ state, it is a normal production screen, a moving background screen display in which a hero character and a background image are displayed, and a map in which the hero character searches for an enemy character ( A mini-map display that displays a part of the map (near the main character) as a “mini-map” is displayed. When a mini-map display in the CZ state is performed, if the player presses down the effect button switch 42, the mini-map display displayed on the display device 84 is as shown in FIG. It becomes an enlarged map display in which an enlarged map is displayed. The map displays of FIGS. 14 and 15 are displayed so as to overlap the front side of the moving background screen display.

  On the mini map display and the enlarged map display, a first index composed of diamond symbol marks indicating the position of the main character is always displayed. Furthermore, in the mini map display and the enlarged map display, when the enemy character is located near the hero character, a second index consisting of a scope-type symbol mark indicating the position of the enemy character searched by the hero character is displayed. It is possible.

  It should be noted that the second index is not displayed on the enlarged map display and the mini map display in stage 1, and in stage 2, the second index is located at a fixed position. Then, the second index is displayed on the mini-map display, and the second index is always displayed on and after the stage 3 in the enlarged map display.

For this reason, when the distance between the first index as the hero character and the second index as the enemy character is close to a certain extent (stage 3) by mini-map display on the normal effect screen, the distance between the two Becomes clear.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the CZ state, by operating the effect button switch 42 while the moving background screen display as the normal effect screen is displayed, the main character as the main character for the entire map is always displayed. The position of the first index can be grasped. Then, by proceeding with the game in the CZ state and reducing the accumulated points, it is possible to grasp the position of the second index as the enemy character with respect to the entire map, thereby the first index as the main character and the enemy character It is possible to grasp the approximate distance from the second index.

  In addition, since the portion where the vicinity of the first index as the main character in the enlarged map display is cut out in a circular shape is displayed as a mini map display, if an enemy character is located near the main character, the mini map The second index as an enemy character will appear on the display.

  In the present embodiment, the second index is positioned in the vicinity of the first index in stage 2 due to the size of the cut in the minimap display, the shape of the minimap, and the initial position of the second index as an enemy character. Absent. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second index may be positioned in the vicinity of the first index, for example, by allowing display of the movement effect of the second index when staying in stage 2. In this case, the second index may appear on the mini map display.

In the present embodiment, four stages are set for the map display (enlarged map display and minimap display) in the CZ state according to the current accumulation point.
This stage determines the display mode of the enlarged map display, and the accuracy of the expected degree of transition to the ART state indicated by the distance on the route between the first index and the second index is different.
The four stages shift in order from stage 1 to stage 2 to stage 3 to stage 4 in accordance with the subtraction of accumulated points. However, when staying in stage 4, when the accumulated value of accumulated points is acquired and the maximum value of accumulated points in stage 4 is exceeded, the display mode corresponding to stage 3 is shifted to.

  If the accumulated points exceed 200 points in the stage 2 game, the enemy character as the second index will not disappear from the enlarged map display as in the display mode of the map display in the stage 1. The index is displayed at a position farthest from the first index (specifically, it is displayed at a position corresponding to 256 points as an accumulation point from the first index). Similarly, if the accumulation point exceeds 150 points in the game of stage 3, the second index is not displayed outside the route as in the display mode of stage 2, but is separated from the first index by the accumulation point. The enemy character as the second index is displayed at the selected position (the route is set so that only that much can be secured).

  FIG. 16 shows an enlarged map display displayed on the display device 84 in stage 1 of the CZ state.

  Stage 1 corresponds to the case where the accumulation points are 201 points to 256 points in the CZ state. Only the first index as the main character in the enlarged map display of the stage 1 is displayed on the enlarged map display route, and the second index as the enemy character is not displayed. Since the second index as an enemy character does not appear in this way, there is no distance between the characters in the enlarged map of stage 1. When the accumulated points are updated (added or subtracted) while staying at stage 1, the first index as the main character is along the route in the direction designated in advance with respect to the enlarged map display. And move (counterclockwise in this embodiment).

  Therefore, when the enlarged map display is in stage 1, it can be seen that there is an expectation for acquiring the ART state through the enlarged map display, but what is the expected degree of transition to the current ART state, I don't know how the expectations of the transition have changed (whether expectations have increased or expectations have decreased). In addition, when staying in the stage 1, since a part of the enlarged map display is cut out, the second index as an enemy character does not appear on the mini map display.

  FIG. 17 shows an enlarged map display displayed on the display device 84 in the stage 2 of the CZ state.

Stage 2 corresponds to the case where the accumulation point is 200 points to 151 points in the CZ state.
In the present embodiment, in the case of the enlarged map display in stage 2, both the first index as the main character and the second index as the enemy character are displayed on the enlarged map display. The first index as the main character is displayed on the route continuously from the first stage. On the other hand, the second index as an enemy character appears at the initial position (point X) in the area outside the route at the time of entering stage 2 (game). In stage 2, since the characters of both the first index and the second index are displayed, a distance between the first index and the second index is generated. When the accumulated point is updated (added or subtracted) while staying at stage 2, the main character image moves (clockwise or counterclockwise) along the route. On the other hand, the second index as an enemy character remains at the initial position (point X) set in the area outside the route and does not move.
For this reason, in the enlarged map display of stage 2, by operating the effect button switch 42, the position of the second index as an enemy character that could not be grasped by the mini map display is determined.

  In stage 1, the concept of the distance between the first index and the second index did not occur because the second index did not appear, whereas in stage 2, the second index did not move, By generating the index, the concept of the distance between the first index and the second index is also generated. That is, in stage 2, the expectation of the transition to the ART state is high due to the occurrence of the distance between the first index and the second index. In stage 1, the ART state is entered because the concept of the distance does not occur. As a result of the appearance of the second index and the distance between each character, the degree of expectation for the current ART state has become higher than in Stage 1. It becomes possible to grasp this.

  As described above, in stage 2, the second index is fixed at point X and does not move. However, even if it is not as accurate as stage 3, it moves to some extent corresponding to the accumulation point. In this way, the correlation may be made more clearly to some extent.

  That is, in the enlarged map display of stage 2, even if the accumulation point is updated, it does not move from the initial position (point X) set in the area outside the route, but this is not limiting, and the accumulation point is updated. Then, it may be moved in an area outside the route. Specifically, when the accumulation point is subtracted, the first index as the hero character may be approached, and when the accumulation point is added, it may be separated from the first index. Thereby, as a result of the game, it is possible to more accurately grasp how the degree of expectation of the transition to the ART state has changed, that is, whether the expectation has increased or the expectation has decreased.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of accumulated points after updating in a certain game (1G) becomes 200 points or less, the next game (2G) shifts to stage 3 and the second index appears. Not limited to this, the second index may appear in the stage 3 of the game (after the 3G) after the next game (2G).

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the stage is always shifted when the accumulation point falls below a predetermined numerical value (threshold). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the accumulation point falls below a predetermined numerical value (threshold). In this case, in addition to this, a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the next stage may be executed, and the next stage may be shifted by winning the lottery.

  FIG. 18 shows an enlarged map display displayed on the display device 84 in the stage 3 of the CZ state. Stage 3 corresponds to the case where the accumulation points are 150 to 51 points in the CZ state.

  In the case of the enlarged map display at stage 3, subsequent to stage 2, both the first index as the main character and the second index as the enemy character are displayed on the enlarged map display. The first indicator is displayed on the route, continuing from step 2. On the other hand, the second index appears at a specific position (described later) on the route at the time of entering the stage 3 (game). Then, when the accumulation point is updated (added or subtracted) while staying in the stage 3, the first index and the second index move in a predetermined direction along the route. In principle, the lottery is set such that the distance between the two is close.

  Therefore, in the enlarged map display at stage 3, the distance between the first index and the second index can be grasped by operating the effect button switch 42. In particular, the route in stage 3 is “accumulation point correspondence distance display (so-called gachi distance expression)” in which the first index and the second index are moved and displayed so that the change of the accumulation point is accurately reflected. Through the distance between the index and the second index, the degree of expectation of the transition to the current ART state can be grasped relatively accurately. Moreover, it can be clearly seen how much the degree of expectation of the transition to the ART state has changed (whether the expectation has increased by “4” or the expectation has decreased by “8”).

  That is, in the enlarged map display other than stage 3, the expected degree of transition to the ART state recognized through the distance between the first index and the second index coincides with the actual expectation (accumulation point) by chance. In some cases, it is not guaranteed and there is no guarantee, but the expanded map in Stage 3 guarantees the expectation of the transition to the ART state recognized through the distance between the first and second indicators. can do.

  In the present embodiment, the second index as the enemy character approaches or separates from the first index as the hero character that moves in one direction, but this embodiment is other than this In addition, the first index is moved clockwise or counterclockwise according to the change of the accumulation point, and the second index approaches or moves away from the first index. You may make it do.

  In the present embodiment, when the accumulated points are subtracted in a certain game (1G) and become less than 150 points, the next game (2G) shifts to stage 3, Instead of making the second index appear on the route from the game (2G), only the first index is displayed once in the next game (2G), and then the second index is displayed from the next game (3G). Appears on the route. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the second index may appear on the route from the next game (2G) that is the first game of the stage 3. However, also at this time, the distance between the first index and the second index needs to correspond to the accumulation point.

  FIG. 19 shows an enlarged map display displayed on the display device 84 in stage 4 of the CZ state.

Stage 4 corresponds to the case where the accumulation points are 50 points to 0 points in the CZ state.
In the present embodiment, in the case of the enlarged map display in stage 4, following the stage 3, both the first index as the main character and the second index as the enemy character are displayed in the enlarged map display.

However, the distance between the first index and the second index does not change even if the accumulation point is updated (added or subtracted) while staying at stage 4. When the acquisition point is acquired and moved, both the first index and the second index move along the route together while maintaining the distance between the first index and the second index. . As described above, when the subtraction value of the accumulation points is acquired instead of the distance between the first index and the second index on the route being shortened, a predetermined enemy character encounter effect is executed.
Therefore, the flow reaches the stage 4 where the enemy character encounter effect frequently occurs, and the transition to the ART state is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, in the game where the enlarged map display stays at stage 4, when the accumulation point subtraction value is obtained, that is, when the accumulation point is subtracted, the first index and the second index as in stage 3 The distance between the first index and the second index on the route is maintained, and a predetermined enemy character encounter effect is executed.

  Therefore, when the enlarged map display is stage 4, the change in the accumulated points, that is, the expectation to the ART state, depends on the occurrence frequency of the enemy character encounter effect, not the distance between the first index and the second index. You can see that it is growing. Until stage 3, the ART expectation level is determined by the player's operation of the production button switch 42. In other words, when the production button switch 42 is not operated, the display is shown on the mini map display. Only when the first index and the second index are approaching, the expected degree of transition to the ART state is not known, and unless the enlarged map display is displayed, the expected degree of transition to the ART state cannot be determined. On the other hand, at the point when the accumulation point subtraction has progressed to the stage 4 and the expectation level of the transition to the ART state becomes high, the player actively performs the operation (operation of the production button switch 42). It can be seen that the expectation of the transition to the ART state is increasing without need.

FIG. 20 shows an enemy character encounter effect.
In the present embodiment, in a game where the enlarged map display stays at stage 4, when a subtraction value is acquired as an acquisition point (accumulated points are subtracted), the first character as the main character as in stage 3 is obtained. Rather than move and display the distance between the index and the second index as an enemy character, the distance between the first index and the second index in the route of the map display is maintained, and a predetermined enemy character encounter effect is performed. Run.

A route serving as a route along which the first index and the second index of the enlarged map display move will be described with reference to FIG. This route is not displayed on the enlarged map display.
In the present embodiment, when the enlarged map display is stage 2 or stage 3, for example, when an addition value is acquired as an acquisition point, the distance between the first index and the second index is increased, and for example, a subtraction value is set as the acquisition point. When acquired, the distance between the first index and the second index is displayed according to the change of the accumulation point, such as shortening the distance between the first index and the second index.

  In particular, in the case of stage 3, for example, when 8 points are acquired as acquisition points, the distance between the first index and the second index is increased by an amount corresponding to 8 points. When points are earned, the distance between the first index and the second index is made to approach the distance corresponding to 8 points, for example, the amount of change in the accumulated points matches the amount of change in the distance between the first index and the second index I am letting.

  In the present embodiment, since the route in the enlarged map display is a ring shape around which the first index circulates, an added value is acquired as an acquisition point, and the position of the second index is compared to the position of the first index. When trying to move to a position far away, there is a case in which the distance between the first index and the second index becomes shorter after one round.

  For this reason, the route is provided so that the distance between the first index and the second index is separated by 256 points even if the acquired point is a maximum value of 256 points. In other words, the left half of the first index of the route is divided into 256 as shown in FIG. 21A, or the right half of the first index of the route is divided into 256 as shown in FIG. 21B. It will be.

  In other words, the accumulation point has a maximum value of 256 points corresponding to a half circumference of the route, and even if the calculation result exceeds this, it is set to the maximum value and between the first index and the second index. The distance is set so as to be separated by an amount corresponding to 256 points, and the left half / right half of the route corresponds to 256 points.

  The initial position of the second index on the route when shifting from stage 2 to stage 3 will be described with reference to FIG. In the example of FIG. 22, the first index is a subtraction value and is set to rotate in the clockwise direction on the route.

In FIG. 22A, in stage 2, the accumulation points are 160 points, and only the first index is displayed.
In FIG. 22B, the subtraction value of 16 points is acquired as the acquisition point, the first index is moved by the subtraction value of 16 points, the accumulation point is subtracted from 144 points, and the stage 3 is displayed. Yes. In this state, the second index is not displayed.

  In FIG. 22 (C), it is the second game (2G) after proceeding to the stage 3, the subtraction value of 8 points is acquired as the acquisition point, and the accumulation point is subtracted to 136 points. In this state, the second index is displayed at a position separated by 136 accumulation points. Note that the first index is at the same position as in FIG. 22B, and the position of the second index appears at a position reflecting the subtraction value of 8 points. That is, the distance between the two is a position corresponding to 136 points. Of course, the first index may be moved by 8 points from the position in FIG. 22B, and the second index may appear at a position where the distance between the first index and the second index corresponds to 136 points. .

  22A to 22C, the route route, the numerical value at the center of the route, and the numerical value of the accumulation point are not displayed on the screen of the actual display device 84. The player cannot see it. Of course, you may display so that a player can see.

  In this embodiment, at any stage, the first index as the main character appears on the enlarged map display route, and moves along the route according to the acquired points. For this reason, the position of the first index on the route differs depending on the timing when the stage 3 is entered.

  On the other hand, since the minimum value of the subtraction value is 8 points, the accumulation point is not necessarily the maximum accumulation point 150 points in the stage 3 when entering the stage 3 as shown in FIG. Not always. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second index as an enemy character cannot appear at a fixed position predetermined on the route in Step 3.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22 (C), the direction farthest along the route from the position of the first index when entering stage 3 (more precisely, after 1G digestion in stage 3) The second index appears at a position separated by a distance corresponding to the current accumulation point. Thereby, when the second index appears on the route, it is possible to notify the expected degree of transition to the accurate ART state through the distance between the first index and the second index in the enlarged map display.

  The movement of the first index and the second index on the route when shifting from stage 2 to stage 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 23A, in stage 2 on the left side, the accumulation points are 160 points, and only the first index is displayed. A subtraction value of 16 points has been acquired as an acquisition point in the game. As a result, the process moves to stage 3 on the right side, and the distance between the first index and the second index is displayed at a position separated by 144 points.

  In FIG. 23A, the position of the first index is not changed, and the first index is positioned at a position away from the position of the first index in the “clockwise (clockwise)” direction along the route by the accumulation point. 2 indicators are displayed. On the other hand, FIG. 23B does not change the position of the first index, and the second index is located at a position away from the first index in the “counterclockwise” direction along the route by the accumulation point. An indicator is displayed.

  The rotation direction is determined according to the type of the second index by providing a plurality of types as the second index, and selecting one of the plurality of types by lottery or the like. It may be.

  In FIG. 23C, similarly to (A) and (B), in the second stage 2 on the left side, the accumulation points are similarly 160 points, and the subtraction value of 16 points is acquired as the acquisition points in the game. In FIG. 23C, when the subtraction value is acquired, the first index is moved in the clockwise direction by 4 points with a fixed value. The second index appears at a position separated by 144 points from the position moved by 4 points. Thereby, both the 1st parameter | index and the 2nd parameter | index can make the distance of both correspond to an accumulation | storage point, circling on a route | root. The 4 points are not limited to the case where the subtraction value is acquired, and the game of the first index and the second index may always be moved in the same direction by 4 points in each game.

With reference to FIG. 24, the movement of the first index and the second index on the route when the subtraction value is acquired in stage 3 will be described.
In the present embodiment, in the case of the enlarged map display in the stage 3, the distance between the first index and the second index is changed by the unit corresponding to the added value as the acquired point or the subtracted value.

At this time, when a subtraction value or an addition value is acquired as an acquisition point, the following (1) to (3) can be handled. In the present embodiment, any of the following (1) to (3) is possible, and any of them may be used.
(1) Only the second index moves to change the distance from the first index by the amount corresponding to the subtraction value or the addition value.
(2) Only the first index moves, and the distance from the second index is changed by an amount corresponding to the subtraction value or the addition value.
(3) Both the first index and the second index move to change the distance between them corresponding to the subtraction value or the addition value.

  Specifically, using FIG. 24, on the left side of FIGS. 24A, 24B, and 24C, the accumulation points are 144 points in stage 3, and both the first index and the second index are determined. It is displayed in a state separated by a distance corresponding to the 144 points. In FIG. 24A, the subtraction value is 8 points, in FIG. 24B, the subtraction value is 16 points, and in FIG. 24C, the subtraction value is 32 points. Thereby, a new accumulation point is set, and the distance between the first index and the second index needs to be set at a position separated by an amount corresponding to the new accumulation point.

  Therefore, the right side of FIG. 24A corresponds to the above (1), the position of the first index does not move as it is, and only the second index is brought closer to the first index by 8 points of subtraction value. The distance between the two is 136 points, which is a new accumulation point.

  Further, on the right side of FIG. 24B, it corresponds to the above (2), the position of the second index does not move as it is, and only the first index is brought closer to the second index by the subtraction value of 16 points. , The distance between them is 128 points, which is a new accumulation point.

  Further, on the right side of FIG. 24C, it corresponds to the above (3), the first index is closer to the second index side by 4 points, and the second index is closer to the first index side by 28 points. The distance between the two is reduced by a total of 32 points so that the distance between the two becomes 112 points, which is a new accumulation point.

With reference to FIG. 25, the movement of the first index and the second index on the route when the added value is acquired in stage 3 will be described.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 25, on the left side of FIGS. 25A, 25B, and 25C, the accumulation points are 144 points in stage 3, and both the first index and the second index are determined. It is displayed in a state separated by a distance corresponding to the 144 points. In the game, 8 points are added in FIG. 25A, 16 points are added in FIG. 25B, and 32 points are added in FIG. 25C. Thereby, a new accumulation point is set, and the distance between the first index and the second index needs to be set at a position separated by an amount corresponding to the new accumulation point.

  Therefore, on the right side of FIG. 25 (A), it corresponds to the above (1), the position of the first index is not moved, and only the second index is moved away from the first index by 8 points of addition value. The distance between the two is set to 152 points which are new accumulation points.

  Further, on the right side of FIG. 25 (B), which corresponds to the above (2), the position of the second index is not moved, and only the first index is moved away from the second index by the added value of 16 points. The distance between them is set to 160 points which are new accumulation points.

  Further, on the right side of FIG. 25 (C), which corresponds to the above (3), the first index is separated by 4 points from the second index side, and the second index is only 28 points from the first index side. The distance between them is 32 points in total, and the distance between them is 176 points which is a new accumulation point.

The movement of the first index and the second index on the route in step 4 will be described with reference to FIG.
Note that the left side, center, and right side of FIG. 26 are displayed on the display device 84 as time elapses.
On the left side of FIG. 26A, in stage 4, the accumulation points are 40 points, and the distance between the first index and the second index is separated by a distance corresponding to 40 points. In the game, a subtraction value of 16 points is acquired as an acquisition point.

  In the center of FIG. 26A, the enemy character encounter effect is displayed on the display device 84 by obtaining the subtraction value of 16 points. Occurrence of the enemy character encounter effect can increase the player's expectation for the transition to the ART state.

  On the right side of FIG. 26A, in stage 4, the accumulation point is 24 points (40-16). As already described, the numerical value of the accumulation point and the numerical value at the current stage are not displayed to the player. The distance between the first index and the second index does not change from the distance corresponding to the initial 40 points.

  On the left side of FIG. 26B, in stage 4, the accumulation points are 40 points, and the distance between the first index and the second index is separated by a distance corresponding to 40 points. In the game, 32 points have been acquired as acquisition points.

  In the center of FIG. 26B, the enemy character encounter effect as shown in FIG. The acquired value is the added value, and the expectation level of the transition to the ART state is low, and therefore, the enemy character encounter effect that depresses the expectation is not performed.

  On the right side of FIG. 26B, since the new accumulation point is 72 points (40 + 32), it becomes stage 3. By shifting to the stage 3, the distance between the first index and the second index is displayed in a state separated by a distance corresponding to 72 accumulation points.

  The subtraction value lottery table by the acquisition point determination means 270 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 27A, in the present embodiment, as a result of the role lottery, as the winning role group, push order bells (LBE1, LBE2, CBE1, CBE2, RBE1 or RBE2), cherry (CH1 or CH2), When a watermelon (WM1 or WM2) or chance (CZ1 or CZ2) is won, 1 is obtained by lottery from a plurality of values of 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 as a subtraction value by the acquisition point determination means 270. Is selected.
In addition, although the lottery probability that each subtraction value is selected is common to the winning combination group described above, it may be set so as to be different for each winning combination group. For example, it may be set so that a rare combination with a low lottery probability of a combination lottery makes it easier to win a larger subtraction value.

  In this embodiment, as a result of the role lottery as shown in FIG. 27A, when winning a predetermined winning role group, not only when referring to a so-called lottery, If not referred to, as shown in FIG. 27B, in each game, one numerical value may be selected by lottery from a plurality of numerical values of 0, 8, 16, 32, and 64 as subtraction values. Good. In FIG. 27 (B), two types of enemy characters, enemy character 1 and enemy character 2, are provided as enemy characters. Depending on the type of enemy character, the subtraction value may be changed. Furthermore, you may change the lottery probability which selects each numerical value with the kind of enemy character. In this case, when selecting an enemy character, it is set so as not to be affected by the set value.

  Furthermore, in the case of lottery in each game regardless of the result of the lottery drawing of FIG. 27A (in the case of referring to the lottery) and regardless of the result of the lottery drawing of FIG. 27B (without referring to the lottery). You may make it implement both.

  The addition value lottery table by the acquisition point determination means 270 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 28 (A), in this embodiment, as a result of the role lottery, when the normal replay and push order replay (left first correct answer, middle first correct answer, right first correct answer) are won, the earned points The determination means 270 performs a lottery to determine an addition value as an acquisition point.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 28 (B), the acquisition point determination means 270 selects one from a plurality of numerical values of 0, 8, 16, 32, and 64 by lottery as an added value.
In addition, although the lottery probability that each added value is selected is common to the winning combination group described above, it may be set so as to be different for each winning combination group.

  In the present embodiment, as a result of the role lottery as shown in FIG. 28 (A), when winning a predetermined winning role group, not only referring to a so-called lottery, Even if it is not referred to, that is, the case where the above-mentioned winning combination group is not won, in each game, as a subtraction value, one numerical value is selected by lottery from a plurality of numerical values of 0, 8, 16, 32, 64. You may make it select. In addition, although two types of normal replay and push order replay are provided as the winning combination group, the numerical value of the added value is selected from these two types, but the normal replay and push order are selected. The value of the added value may be changed depending on the type of replay. Further, the lottery probability for selecting each numerical value may be changed depending on the difference between normal replay and push order replay.

  Furthermore, to determine the addition value, the case where the lottery is based on the result of the above-mentioned role lottery (in the case of referring to the lottery) and the case where the lottery is performed every game regardless of the result of the role lottery (without referring to the lottery) Both may be implemented.

  The content of the map display in stages 1 to 4 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the CZ state, when accumulation points are 256 to 201 (256 or less and 201 or more), stage 1 is selected, and when accumulation points are 200 to 151 (200 or less and 151 or more), stages are selected. When 2 is selected and accumulation points are 150 to 51 (150 or less and 51 or more), stage 3 is selected, and when accumulation points are 50 to 0 (50 or less and 0 or more), stage 4 is selected. Is set to

  Since the transition to the ART state is determined when the accumulation point reaches 0, in this embodiment, the expected degree of transition to the ART state increases as the accumulation point decreases.

  In the present embodiment, since the distance between the accumulation point and the first index and the second index corresponds, the distance between the first index and the second index, that is, the distance between the characters increases as the accumulation point increases. The first index and the second index are separated from each other, and the degree of expectation for transition to the ART state is lowered.

  On the other hand, when the accumulation point becomes small, the distance between the first index and the second index, that is, the distance between each character also becomes small, and the first index and the second index become closer, and the transition to the ART state is expected. The degree becomes higher. Thus, it is possible to recognize at a glance the expected degree of transition to the ART state based on the distance between characters.

As shown in FIG. 29, the second index as an enemy character is displayed in steps 3 to 4 in the mini map display, is displayed in steps 1 to 4 in the enlarged map display, and is displayed in steps 3 to 4 on the route. 4 is displayed.
Further, the first index as the main character is displayed in stages 1 to 4 in the mini map display, is displayed in stages 1 to 4 in the enlarged map display, and is displayed in stages 1 to 4 on the route. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 29, regarding the transition of the stage, the transition from the stage 1 to the stage 2 can be performed, the transition from the stage 2 to the stage 3 can be performed, and the transition from the stage 3 to the stage 4 can be performed. 4 to stage 3 is possible. It is set so that the transition is not performed on other routes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 29, in stage 2, it has a role as a preparation period of the initial position, and in stage 3, the distance between the first index and the second index and the point correspondence distance corresponding to the accumulation point It has a role as a display, and at stage 4, such a distance is locked to a constant, but an enemy character encounter effect is performed.

  With reference to FIG. 30, an example of a change in accumulated points as the number of games in the CZ state progresses will be described.

  In the case shown in FIG. 30, 256 points are acquired as the initial points. Then, the subtraction value of 32 points is obtained at the 1G, 32 points are subtracted from the 256 points of accumulation points, and the new accumulation point of the 1G is set to 224 points. Then, the added value of 16 points is acquired in the 2G, 16 points are added to the 224 points of accumulation points, and a new accumulation point is set to 240 points. Based on this accumulation point, a stage is determined from among stages 1 to 4, and an effect display corresponding to each stage is performed. Thereafter, the same calculation is performed, and when the accumulation point reaches 0 point, the transition to the ART state is determined.

  Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 31, a general control process executed by the main control unit 200 for each game during the game will be described.

  In step 110, it is determined whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. At this timing, a start command indicating that the start switch 40 has been operated is transmitted to the sub-control means 400. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step 111. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, the process returns to step 110 again.

  As a premise of this step 110, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a prescribed number 3 of bets.

In step 111, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. The winning combination is determined by this combination lottery process. At this time, the result of the lottery (internal winning information command) is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 400. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to the next step 112.
In step 112, common processing is performed. This common processing will be described later in detail. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 113.

  In step 113, the reel control means 220 performs rotation start processing (rotation start processing) of the reel 62 in the reel unit 60. After the reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed and then enters a so-called steady rotation, the stop switch 50 can be stopped. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 114.

In step 114, the stop operation of the stop switch 50 is performed by the player. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 115.
In step 115, the reel control means 220 performs a process for determining the stop position of the reel 62 corresponding to the operated stop switch 50. Specifically, the stop position is determined by the result of the winning lottery and the operation timing of the stop switch 50. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 116.

In step 116, the reel control means 220 stops the rotation of the reel 62 at the determined stop position. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 117.
In step 117, it is determined whether or not all the reels 62 have stopped rotating. If it is determined that all the reels 62 have stopped rotating, the process proceeds to the next step 118, where it is determined that all the reels 62 have not stopped rotating, that is, the rotating reels 62 remain. If yes, return to step 114.

In step 118, the stop symbol determination unit 230 performs a stop symbol determination process. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 119.
In step 119, a medal payout process is performed. Specifically, when the symbol related to the winning combination is stopped on the active line 86 by the payout control means 240, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Note that when no medal payout is required, no medal payout is performed. Then, the process ends.

  Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 32, the common processing of step 112 in FIG. 31 will be described.

  First, in step 210, it is determined whether or not the non-permitted section is normal. When it is determined that the non-permitted section is in the normal state, the process proceeds to the next step 211, and when it is determined that the non-permitted section is in the normal state, the process proceeds to step 215.

In step 211, it is determined whether or not the permitted section transition trigger is won. If it is determined that the permitted section transition opportunity combination has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 212. If it is determined that the combination has not been won, the process ends.
In step 212, a permitted section shift lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 213.

  In step 213, it is determined whether or not a permitted section shift lottery has been won. When it is determined that the lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 214, and when it is determined that the lottery has not been won, the process ends.

  In step 214, the permitted section normal state is set. Then, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 210 that the current state is not the non-permitted section normal state, it is determined in step 215 whether or not the permitted section is normal state. When it is determined that the permitted section is in the normal state, the process proceeds to the next step 216, and when it is determined that the permitted section is not in the normal state, the process proceeds to step 223.

  In step 216, it is determined whether or not a CZ transition opportunity is won. If it is determined that the CZ transition opportunity has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 217. If it is determined that the CZ transition opportunity has not been won, the process ends.

In step 217, a CZ transition lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 218.
In step 218, it is determined whether or not a CZ transition lottery has been won. If it is determined that the CZ transition lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 219. If it is determined that the CZ transition lottery has not been won, the process ends.

In step 219, the CZ precursor state is set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 220.
In step 220, an initial point lottery is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 221.
In step 221, the initial point is set as an accumulation point. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 222.

In step 222, the number of CZ precursor games (the number of precursor games) is set. Specifically, it is set by lottery. Note that it may be set to a predetermined number of games instead of lottery. Then, the process ends.
When it is determined in step 215 that the permitted section is not in the normal state, it is determined in step 223 whether or not it is in the CZ precursor state. If it is determined that the state is the CZ precursor state, the process proceeds to the next step 224, and if it is determined that the state is not the CZ precursor state, the process proceeds to step 250 (see FIG. 33).
In step 224, 1 is subtracted from the number of precursor games. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 225.

  In step 225, it is determined whether or not the number of precursor games is zero. When it is determined that the number of precursor games is 0, the process proceeds to the next step 226, and when it is determined that the number of precursor games is not 0, the process ends.

In step 226, the CZ state is set. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 227.
In step 227, the number of games in the CZ state (the number of CZ games) is set. Specifically, it is set by lottery. Note that it may be set to a predetermined number of games instead of lottery. Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 223 that the state is not the CZ precursor state, the process proceeds to FIG. 33, and in step 250, it is determined whether the state is the CZ state. When it is determined that the state is the CZ state, the process proceeds to the next step 251, and when it is determined that the state is not the CZ state, the process proceeds to step 259.
In step 251, it is determined whether or not a predetermined combination is won. Here, the predetermined combination includes a push order bell combination, a cherry combination, a watermelon combination, a chance combination corresponding to the subtraction value, and a replay combination corresponding to the addition value. If it is determined that the predetermined combination has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 252. If it is determined that the predetermined combination has not been won, the process proceeds to step 253.

In step 252, point determination processing is performed according to the winning combination.
Specifically, as a result of the role lottery, as the winning role group, push order bell (LBE1, LBE2, CBE1, CBE2, RBE1 or RBE2), cherry (CH1 or CH2), watermelon (WM1 or WM2), chance (CZ1 or When CZ2) is won, one is selected by lottery from a plurality of values of 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 as subtraction values. Further, as a result of the role lottery, when a normal replay or a predetermined push order replay is won as a winning combination group, one is selected from a plurality of numerical values of 0, 8, 16, 32, and 64 by lottery. Is.
Then, the process proceeds to next Step 253.

In step 253, accumulation points are calculated. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 254.
In step 254, processing for transmitting the accumulation point to the sub-control means 400 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 255.

In step 255, it is determined whether or not the accumulation point is zero. When it is determined that the accumulation point is 0, the process proceeds to the next step 256, and when it is determined that the accumulation point is not 0, the process proceeds to step 257.
In step 256, the AT state is set. Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 255 that the accumulated points are not 0, it is determined in step 257 whether or not the number of CZ games is 0. When it is determined that the number of CZ games is 0, the process proceeds to step 258, and when it is determined that the number of CZ games is not 0, the process ends.
In step 258, the transition to the non-permitted section normal state is set. Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 250 that the state is not the CZ state, in step 259, processing in the AT state is performed. Then, the process ends.

  The processing on the sub-control means 400 side will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step 310, it is determined whether or not the above-described point information has been received from the transmission unit 300 of the main control unit 200. If it is determined that the point information has been received, the process proceeds to the next step 311. If it is determined that the point information has not been received, the process returns to step 310.
In step 311, calculation calculation processing based on the point information is performed. Specifically, the accumulation points of this game are acquired, and the acquisition point calculation process is performed from the accumulation points and the previous accumulation points. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 312.

In step 312, it is determined whether or not there are earned points in this game. If it is determined that there are acquired points in this game, the process proceeds to the next step 313, and if it is determined that there are no acquired points, the process proceeds to step 314.
In step 313, a movement effect process based on the acquired points is performed. This movement effect process will be described in detail later. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 314.

In step 314, it is determined whether or not the accumulation point of this game has reached zero. If it is determined that the accumulation point has reached 0, the process proceeds to the next step 315. If it is determined that the accumulation point has not reached 0, the process ends.
In step 315, an effect process in which the transition to the ART state is confirmed is performed. Then, the process ends.

  Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 35, the movement effect process based on the acquired points in step 313 in FIG. 34 will be described.

In step 330, it is determined whether or not the accumulation point is within a range of 256 to 201 (256 or less and 201 or more). When it is determined that it is within the range, the process proceeds to the next step 331, and when it is determined that it is not within the range, the process proceeds to step 332.
In step 331, the movement amount determining means 430 sets the stage 1, and the effect control means 420 starts the stage 1 effect display.

In step 332, it is determined whether or not the accumulation point is within a range of 200 to 151 (200 or less and 151 or more). When it is determined that it is within the range, the process proceeds to the next step 333, and when it is determined that it is not within the range, the process proceeds to step 334.
In step 333, the movement amount determination means 430 sets the stage 2, and the stage control means 420 starts stage 2 stage display.

In step 334, it is determined whether or not the accumulation point is within a range of 150 to 51 (150 or less and 51 or more). When it is determined that it is within the range, the process proceeds to the next step 335, and when it is determined that it is not within the range, the process proceeds to step 336.
In step 335, the movement amount determining means 430 sets the stage 3, and the effect control means 420 starts the stage 3 effect display.

In step 336, it is determined whether the accumulation point is in the range of 50 to 0 (50 or less and 0 or more). If it is determined that it is within the range, the process proceeds to the next step 337, and if it is determined that it is not within the range, the process ends.
In step 337, the movement amount determining means 430 sets the stage 4, and the effect control means 420 starts the stage 4 effect display. Then, the process ends.

  In this embodiment, by having the configuration as described above, the following operations and effects are achieved.

According to the present embodiment, the player is expected to acquire the transition to the ART state as a privilege according to the distance on the route between the first index and the second index shown in the display area of the display device 84. Can be notified. A player can easily recognize visually and sensorially at a glance the degree of expectation that can acquire the transition to the ART state as a privilege by looking at the distance between the first index and the second index. it can.
Regarding the acquisition of a privilege, instead of setting a fixed destination (goal) on the route set in the display area of the display device 84, the distance between the first index and the second index is visually determined. Then, since the degree of expectation for acquiring the transition to the ART state is shown by looking at the length of the distance, the production expression is not monotonous but can be increased in complexity and interesting.

  According to the present embodiment, according to the distance on the route between the first index and the second index shown in the display area of the display device 84, the current accumulation points can be used to obtain points The degree can be notified to the player. By looking at the length of the distance between the first index and the second index, the player can see at a glance the degree (degree) of how much points can be earned to obtain the bonus visually and sensory Can be easily recognized.

  According to the present embodiment, one of a plurality of stages among stages 1 to 4 is selected according to the accumulation points based on the acquisition points that can be acquired in the CZ state. As a result, the display mode of the map display of the display device 84 is determined by the accumulated points, and the display mode of the map display can be changed by acquiring the points.

  According to the present embodiment, the first index as the main character is displayed on the route in the CZ state in which points can be acquired, and can be moved on the route according to the acquired points.

According to the present embodiment, in the case of stage 1 and stage 2 where there are few accumulated points, the points required for the accumulated points to acquire a privilege with respect to the displacement amount of the distance between the first index and the second index. The amount of displacement is not necessarily proportional. As a result, the degree of points required until the privilege is acquired is not accurately displayed, and loss of motivation when there are few accumulated points can be suppressed.
When the accumulated points are increased, in Step 3, the amount of displacement of the points necessary for the accumulated point to acquire a privilege is proportional to the amount of displacement of the distance between the first index and the second index. As a result, the degree (degree) of necessary points is accurately displayed. As a result, points can be earned from stage 1 and stage 2 to increase the accumulated points, and an incentive to the goal and willingness to move to stage 3 can be generated, and new game play can be generated Can do.

  According to the present embodiment, the second index is not on the route in stage 1 and stage 2, but is displayed on the route only after stage 3 and can move on the route. By displaying the second index on the route, a distance from the first index is generated, and the degree of the necessary point can be notified by the distance. As a result, it is possible to increase the accumulation points and increase the willingness to shift from stage 1 or stage 2 to stage 3.

  According to the present embodiment, when shifting from stage 2 to stage 3, the second index is displayed at a position corresponding to the accumulation point from the position of the first index, so that the position of the first index is used as a reference. It can be set, and the position of the first index can be adjusted as it is with the position of the second index, so that the continuity of performance can be maintained.

The enlarged map display on the display device 84 is changed from the non-display state to the display state on the display device 84 by operating the effect button switch 42 that can be operated by the player.
According to the present embodiment, when many points are not acquired, there is no need to see a display area where points necessary for acquiring a privilege are visually displayed. There is a player who feels that he / she wants to see the display area for the first time after acquiring. Such a player can select whether or not to display the display area by operating the player's own production button switch 42.

  According to the present embodiment, when the display device 84 displays only a part of the mini map display including the first index in the display area without displaying the entire display area, the display device 84 displays the second near the first index. It can be recognized whether or not an index exists. Thereby, when the second index does not exist near the first index, the display device 84 can be used for notification of other information.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to move on the route by the acquisition points based on the result of the role lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each indicator may be moved directly based on the result of only the role lottery. Good. In this way, the first index is displayed on the route in the CZ state, and can be moved on the route according to the direct result of the winning lottery.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, the map shape imitating a certain terrain is handled as “map display”. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, for example, as in Sugoroku, It is also possible to use a “map display” that connects a plurality of squares.
As shown in FIG. 36, the six cells displayed on the upper part of the liquid crystal screen of the display device 84 are “root”, and the eight L-shaped cells not displayed on the liquid crystal screen are “outside the route”. It is possible to move and display the first index and the second index as characters with respect to these squares.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the square is a regular square, but the shape is not limited to this, and it may be a triangle or a pentagon. The shape of the entire square (map) is not limited to the U-shape. Alternatively, the shape may be a circle, a rectangle, or a line.

In the first embodiment, the first index is a diamond-shaped symbol mark, but in the present embodiment, the face display of the main character is performed. In the first embodiment, the second index is a scope-type symbol mark. However, in this embodiment, the enemy character is displayed as a whole (display mode showing the whole image). In the present embodiment, the first index and the second index as described above are set so as to move on the route formed by the squares, and the distance between them corresponds to the accumulation point.
In the first embodiment, the display is switched to display the enlarged map display in response to the operation of the effect button switch 42. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and a normal effect is developed. It is also possible to always display on the display area of the display device 84 to be displayed.

This embodiment also has stages 1 to 4 as in the first embodiment, and indicates the expected degree of transition to the ART state by the distance between the first index and the second index. It is. That is, FIG. 36 (A) shows the state of stage 1, FIG. 36 (B) shows the state of stage 2, FIG. 36 (C) shows the state of stage 3, and FIG. Indicates the state.
In the present embodiment, in stage 1 of FIG. 36 (A), the first index as the main character is displayed on the route of the upper 6 squares, and moves by acquiring points. Here, in the figure, the “route” cell indicated by the bold line is displayed on the liquid crystal screen when the map is displayed, whereas the “area outside the route” indicated by the thin line is the map. When displayed, it is not displayed on the liquid crystal screen. For this reason, another effect display can be executed in the display area of the liquid crystal screen corresponding to the square of “the area outside the route”. The square of the “area outside the route” may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen when the map is displayed. In that case, the square in the area surrounded by the 14 squares of “route” and “area outside the route”. Thus, it is possible to execute another effect display.

  In stage 2 of FIG. 36 (B), the second index appears outside the lower L-shaped route. In the present embodiment, the distance by the number of cells between the first index and the second index (not only the cells on the route but also cells outside the L-shaped route) and the accumulation points Are not proportional to each other and are not necessarily proportional, but are set to be proportional to some extent and correlated to some extent. Here, as in the first display stage, in the second display stage, the “area outside the route” may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen or not on the liquid crystal screen when displaying the map. good.

  In stage 3 of FIG. 36 (C), in addition to the first index, a second index appears on the route of the upper six cells, and the distance (number of cells) between the first index and the second index The accumulation points correspond accurately and are set so that the distance indicates the expected degree of transition to the ART state, as in the first embodiment. Here, when the third display stage is reached, it is possible to display the area of “the area outside the route” on the liquid crystal screen when displaying the map, but in order to execute other liquid crystal effects, It is better not to display on the LCD screen.

In stage 4 of FIG. 36 (D), the first index and the second index are displayed at positions adjacent to the grid, and the distance between the two does not change even if points are acquired. Similarly, when an enemy character encounter effect is generated in the display area outside the route, the player is notified that the degree of expectation of transition to the ART state is high. As shown in the figure, the enemy character encounter effect that occurs in stage 4 is displayed on the LCD screen together with the “root” cell, but this is not the only case, and the “route” cell display is temporarily turned off. It is also possible to perform enemy character encounter effects using the entire LCD screen.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

(Third embodiment)
In the present embodiment, not only the shape of the map but also a bar display format in which the scale moves can be displayed as “map display”. As shown in FIG. 37, the bar display has three areas (a route area indicated by a diagonal line at the center, an area outside the route indicated by white outline on the left side, and an area outside the route indicated by white outline on the right side). The first index and the second index as each character are moved and displayed with respect to a horizontally long bar display format display area. As in the first embodiment, the distance between the first index and the second index is changed at any time according to the change of the accumulation point in the CZ state, and the expected degree of transition to the ART state is notified. It is what.

  Also in the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the first index is the face display of the main character, and the second index is the entire display of the enemy character. In the present embodiment, the first index and the second index as described above move on the bar display corresponding to the scales formed by the diagonal lines of the bar display, and the distance between the two corresponds to the accumulation point. Is set.

  Even in the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the bar display is always displayed in the CZ state. For example, the first embodiment is triggered by the operation of the effect button switch 42 or the like. You may make it switch between a map display as shown by and bar display.

This embodiment also has stages 1 to 4 as in the first embodiment, and indicates the expected degree of transition to the ART state by the distance between the first index and the second index in the bar display. It is what. That is, FIG. 37 (A) shows the state of stage 1, FIG. 37 (B) shows the state of stage 2, FIG. 37 (C) shows the state of stage 3, and FIG. Indicates the state.
In the present embodiment, in stage 1 of FIG. 37A, only the first index as the main character is displayed on the bar display, and the second index is not displayed. It should be noted that when the points are acquired, the first index is set to move as in the first embodiment.

  In stage 2 of FIG. 37 (B), the second index appears in a region outside the route of the white portion on the right side. Similar to the first embodiment, the second index is set so as not to move. Of course, when acquiring points in an area outside the route, the distance between the first index and the second index may be moved so that there is some correlation between the accumulated points.

  In stage 3 of FIG. 37 (C), in addition to the first index, a second index appears on the route composed of the shaded area of the bar display, and the distance between the first index and the second index (each index is The position of the scale that is positioned) and the accumulation point correspond accurately, and the distance is set so as to indicate the expected degree of transition to the ART state, as in the first embodiment.

In stage 4 of FIG. 37 (D), the first index and the second index are displayed at positions adjacent to the grid, and the distance between the two does not change even if points are acquired. Similarly, when the enemy character encounter effect is generated in the display area outside the bar display, the player is notified that the degree of expectation of the transition to the ART state is high.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

(Fourth embodiment)
In the present embodiment, on the enlarged map display described above by the display device 84, the movement effect in which the symbol marks of the first index and the second index move on the route can be notified of the movement effect having a different display form. Is formed. That is, there are two types of display forms of movement effects.
In the movement effect by the display device 84 according to the present embodiment, each symbol mark of the first index and the second index in the enlarged map moves on the route, and each of the first index and the second index. There are two types, a moving appearance form effect that displays a moving appearance form such as each character walking when the character moves.
The movement effect on the map according to the present embodiment appears at a moved position during one game, and the position during the game is fixed. It is not an effect that the second index moves continuously like a video (animation), but when it is played over a plurality of games, as a result, the first index and the second index as each symbol mark are on the route. It will be moved. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and each index may be moved by a moving image or the like during one game. In such a case, when the next game is started during the movement, the movement is reset after the end of one game, and in the next game, the movement is started from the position after the movement.
In the present embodiment, it is not necessary to have a moving appearance form effect only on the map movement effect.

Note that the above-described moving appearance form effect and the on-map moving effect may be displayed by switching the screen of the display device 84.
In the present embodiment, the on-map moving effect is formed so that it can be displayed on a part of the display screen of the moving appearance form effect as a mini map display that displays a part of the enlarged map display on a part of the display device 84. (See FIG. 14).
In addition, the images of the above-described movement appearance form effect that the hero character walks and the image of the movement effect on the map are overlapped, and a screen in which both are mixed is displayed using a so-called superimpose image technology. You may do it. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, a moving image effect such as an appearance form in which the main character is walking in the moving appearance form effect described above is displayed on the background portion of the enlarged map display having the route of the move effect on the map. Possible screens may be displayed.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 37, a different effect display may be performed instead of or in addition to the map display in the on-map movement effect. Specifically, for example, one bar is displayed on the display device 84, the first index and the second index are displayed on the bar, and the distance between the two is displayed so as to correspond to the accumulation point. May be.
Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 36, the display device 84 is changed to an enlarged map (or in addition to the enlarged map), and displays a cell having a grid such as a hex, and the hex path. The first index and the second index may be displayed above, and the distance between them may be displayed so as to correspond to the accumulation point.

In the first embodiment described above, in the movement effect on the map in the CZ state, the first index and the second index appear at the positions reflecting the acquired points and accumulated points on the route for each game a plurality of times. Although it appears to move over the game, each index does not move continuously during the game.
In the present embodiment, in the movement effect on the map in the CZ state and the movement appearance form effect, a movement effect in which the first index and the second index move continuously in accordance with the acquired points and accumulated points during each game is performed. It is what is done. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
In the present embodiment, both of the movement effects on the map and the movement appearance form effect are performed over one second to move by one point.
The moving appearance form effect described above is a moving image effect different from that on the enlarged map display on the display device 84, but is not necessarily limited to that by the display device 84, for example, only for the fourth display. Alternatively, the reel 62 may be provided separately and expressed using a device using another device such as the reel 62.

  In the present embodiment, if at least one continuous movement based on the acquired first privilege cannot be completed in the game that has acquired the first privilege, the at least one of the first index and the second index in the game is continued. The second and second indices are continuously moved based on the difference between the amount of movement that can be smoothly moved and the amount of movement based on the acquired first privilege. The relative position with the index is changed.

In the present embodiment, for example, in the arrangement shown in FIG. 18, the subtraction value is obtained by rotating the first index on the route and changing the relative position between the two to bring it closer to the second index. is there.
Specifically, for example, when the second index is stopped, the first index is moved in the counterclockwise direction to reduce the distance between them.

  When the first index is moved during the game (for example, 1G) and a continuous movement effect is executed, the start switch 40 of the next game (2G) is pressed and the game (1G) is When the game ends (1G) and the point corresponding to the subtracted value cannot be moved as a continuous effect during the game (1G), it is carried over to the next game (2G) as the remaining point. By rotating the two indices as described above, the distance on the route between the first index and the second index is decreased.

  Furthermore, when the point carried over in the same manner cannot be moved, the second index is carried over to the next game (3G) and the second index is rotated as described above, so that the first index and the second index Reduce the distance on the route between the indicators. The carry-over of the point is carried over repeatedly until all the points are reflected as the movement amount.

In the present embodiment, the point of the subtraction value is first applied to the movement of the first index, and when the movement does not end during the game as described above, it is applied to the movement to the second index. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. When the point of the subtraction value is first applied to the movement of the second index so that the distance between the two is reduced and the movement does not end during the game. May be applied to the movement to the first index.
Furthermore, when it is applied to only one of the first index and the second index and cannot move during the game, it is not limited to being applied to the other in the next game. When the movement cannot be completed during the game, it is carried over to the next game and the point is carried over to one or both of the first index and the second index. It may be made to do.

  In the present embodiment, the added value moves the first index on the route in the direction in which the distance between the two is increased, thereby separating the two. In the game, when the next game start switch 40 is pressed and the next game is started, it is not possible to display all the points corresponding to the added value during the game as a continuous movement effect. If the amount of movement cannot be moved to the next game, it is carried over to the next game as the remaining point (remaining carry-over point), and the second indicator is moved in the direction in which the distance between the two is increased, thereby Increase the distance on the route between the two indicators.

  Furthermore, during the next game (2G), the start switch 40 of the next game (3G) is further operated, and the points carried over can be moved without being displayed as a continuous movement effect. If this is not possible, it is carried over to the next game (3G), and the other side moved in the previous game is moved in the direction in which the distance between them is increased, so that the first index and the second index Increase the distance on the route between. The carry-over of the point is carried over repeatedly until all the points are reflected as the movement amount.

  In the present embodiment, the point of the added value is first applied to the movement of the first index, and as described above, when the movement does not end during the game, it is applied to the movement to the second index. However, it is not necessarily limited to this, and the points of the added value are first applied to the movement of the second index to move the distance between them so that all of the added values are continued during the game. When the movement effect cannot be displayed and the movement does not end, the movement effect may be applied to the first index.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to being applied to only one of the first index and the second index and applied to the other of the first index and the second index in the next game when it cannot move during the game. When the movement cannot be completed as a continuous movement effect during the game by applying to the movement of both the first index and the second index during the game, the first index and the second index of the next game The point may be carried over and applied to either one or both.

  In the present embodiment, when the point corresponding to the added value cannot be moved as the movement amount, the remaining point is carried over to the next game and the second index is rotated and moved as described above. Increase the distance on the route between the first index and the second index. Further, when the point carried forward cannot be moved, the route between the first index and the second index is further carried over to the next game and the first index is rotated as described above. Increase the distance above. The carry-over of the point is carried over repeatedly until all the points are reflected as the movement amount.

  In the present embodiment, the next game is started by operating the start switch 40 of the next game, and the movement amount corresponding to the acquired point as the subtraction value or the addition value as described above is acquired. When it is not possible to produce an effect display in a game, it is carried forward as a carry-over remaining point in the next game to realize a continuous movement effect, but this is not necessarily limited to this. When the next game start switch 40 is pressed and the game is started, the amount of movement corresponding to the point acquired in the previous game cannot be effected and displayed may be reset at this timing. Then, the next game may be started from a state in which each index is moved to a position reflecting the amount of movement corresponding to the previously acquired point at the timing. In this case, the effect that could not be moved is discontinuous, but as a result, the points acquired in each game can be reflected in the relative position in the game, and the points are carried forward to the next game Such a troublesome process is not required.

Accumulation point determination means 280 according to the present embodiment adds an acquisition point that is an addition value to the accumulation point when the acquisition point determination means 270 acquires an acquisition point that is an addition value, Set as a new accumulation point.
Note that the accumulation point determination means 280 determines an accumulation point that reflects the amount of remaining carry-over points when all the continuous movement effects corresponding to the acquired points cannot be displayed.
Specifically, for example, when there are 20 points as accumulation points and the subtraction value of 8 points has been acquired as an acquisition point in the game, only 6 points can be displayed as a continuous movement effect in the game. When the so-called carry-over remaining point is 2 points, the accumulation point at the start of the next game is 14 points. Note that the distance between the first index and the second index at that time is 14 points apart.

  The movement amount determination means 430 according to the present embodiment sets the acquisition points of the main game and the remaining points of the previous game based on the accumulated points as the transmitted point information. These acquired points, remaining points, and accumulated points are the same as the coordinate positions of the first index and the second index for the past multiple times (specifically, not limited to once, of course, once). ) Is stored as history information.

  The amount-of-movement determining means 430 according to the present embodiment calculates the acquired points acquired this time from the difference between the stored accumulated points of the previous game and the accumulated points of the current game transmitted in the current game. To do.

Further, the movement amount determination means 430 according to the present embodiment has a timer means inside, and measures the time from the timing when the point information of the previous game is received to the timing when the point information of the current game is received. ing. This substantially corresponds to the time between the pressing timing of the start switch 40 of the previous game and the pressing timing of the start switch 40 of the current game.
In the present embodiment, the time is measured based on the timing at which the point information is received by the timer means, but the point information reception timing is not transmitted by transmitting a press signal of the start switch 40 to the sub-control means 400. Alternatively, the time may be measured based on the pressing timing of the start switch 40.

When the effect display that has been continued from the previous game is continued, the effect display that has been continued from the previous game, depending on the time between the timing at which the previous game point information is received and the timing at which the current game point information is received. The production time is calculated. In the present embodiment, since the continuous effect display is performed with an effect display of 1 second per point, how many points of the previous acquired points are used as an effect display that is continuous according to the effect time. Of the previously acquired points, the remaining point that has not been used as a continuous effect display is calculated by the movement amount determining means 430. The movement amount determination means 430 sets the remaining points as remaining carry-over points to be carried over to the current game among the acquired points of the previous game.
As a result, the movement amount determination means 430 can set the current accumulation point, the acquired point acquired this time, and the remaining point (carried forward point) of the previous game, and stores the numerical values.

  Here, in this Embodiment, it is not limited to the case where the continuous movement of a 1st parameter | index cannot be complete | finished based on an acquisition point. For example, in the game, even if the second index is moved based on the earned points, it may be “when the continuous movement of the second index cannot end the game”. Further, even if both the first index and the second index are moved in the game based on the earned points, it may be “when continuous movement by both the first index and the second index cannot be completed”. Is. In the game, based on the earned points, only the first index, only the second index, or both movements of the first index and the second index are selected by lottery, etc. This may be the case where the continuous movement effect cannot be completed, that is, “the case where the continuous movement of at least one of the first index and the second index cannot be completed”.

  Here, “when continuous movement cannot be completed” means that an end condition for ending the continuous movement is satisfied. In the present embodiment, this “end condition” is set to a pressing operation by the player of the start switch 40 of the next game when the game is ended and the movement effect is continuing. In other words, the next game is started by pressing the start switch 40 of the next game before all the continuous movement effects corresponding to the acquired points are finished, and is acquired by the start of the next game. This is a case where all continuous movement effects corresponding to points do not end.

  The “end condition” is not limited to the pressing operation of the start switch 40, and may be other triggers. Specifically, for example, the betting number setting by the pressing operation of the bet switch 32, the medal Other conditions such as detection of insertion of medals from the insertion slot 38 and start of rotation of the reel 62 may be set.

  Further, as in the second embodiment described above, the movement amount determination means 430 has an upper limit of continuous movement of the first index, for example, m (n is an integer of 1 or more) points in advance. m is set to 0 or more) seconds, and “when continuous movement cannot be completed” means that the movement amount based on the acquired points exceeds the upper limit movement amount of the n points. It may be set.

  Furthermore, the effect control means 420 according to the present embodiment uses the display device 84 to display the moving state of the first index and the second index as a moving image separately from the enlarged map display. In the present embodiment, the state where the characters of the first index and the second index are walking and moving at a rate of 1 point per second is displayed. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to display the state in which each character is running at a rate of 0.5 seconds per point. If it does in this way, it will become possible to double the point which can be displayed as a movement production within the same game time. In addition, a state where one point is walking for one second and a state where one point is running for 0.5 seconds may be mixed, and it may be determined which state is selected by lottery. .

  The effect control means 420 according to the present embodiment moves the first index according to the acquisition points of the game. Specifically, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 18, the first index is moved in the counterclockwise direction by an amount corresponding to the point of the subtraction value, and is brought closer to the second index. If the start switch 40 of the next game is operated during the movement by the movement amount corresponding to the acquired point and the next game is entered and continuous movement cannot be completed, the difference remains. It becomes a point and can be reflected as the movement of the second index in the next game.

The production control means 420 moves the second index according to the remaining points of the previous game. Specifically, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 18, when the remaining point is a subtraction value, the second index is moved in the clockwise direction so as to be closer to the first index. When the remaining point is an added value, the second index is moved in the counterclockwise direction and moved away from the first index. As for the amount to be moved, the remaining points are moved by the number of units on the route for 8 points. As a result, the distance moves by 2/64 of the entire circumference of the route.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same operations and effects as described in the first embodiment are achieved.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a continuous movement effect can be continued over a plurality of games according to the acquired points, and an effective movement effect can be implemented.
In the present embodiment, in the game that has acquired the first privilege, when continuous movement based on the acquired points as the first privilege that cannot be completed, the movement amount that allows continuous movement in the game, The relative position between the first index and the second index is determined by continuously moving the other of the first index and the second index based on the difference from the movement amount based on the acquired points as the first privilege acquired. It is changing.

  As a result, a difference occurs between the amount of movement that can continuously move one of the first index and the second index shown on the display device 84 and the amount of movement based on the acquired points as the acquired first privilege. Can be suppressed.

By a simple process of continuously moving the other of the first index and the second index, it is possible to suppress the movement from being discontinuous, and it is possible to execute a continuous movement effect. In addition, in this movement effect, on the display device 84, on the map display, the first mark and the second index symbol mark move on the route, and each character of the first index and the second index This includes both a moving appearance form effect that displays a moving appearance form such as each character walking when moving.
In addition, since all the movement effects based on the earned points can be finally displayed, there is no need to use so-called freeze processing or the like to stop the game progress, and the game progress is not delayed, The storage capacity required for the freeze process is not required, and the program process associated with the freeze process is not required, so that the program process can be facilitated.

  In addition, since the effect is not reset between games, a continuous movement effect can be executed between a plurality of games, and seamless video expression can be realized. Thereby, the real feeling and tension of the movement effect can be maintained, and the player can be interested in the effect and can be interesting.

  In this embodiment, even if one of the games is continuously moved during the game (1G), if the game cannot reach the amount of movement based on the acquired points as the first privilege, the next game ( Although the other is moved in (2G), the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and the other may also be moved during the game (1G). Specifically, the first index as the hero character may change the relative position of the part that cannot be expressed by the continuous movement effect by the continuous movement effect of the second index as the enemy character. .

  Furthermore, if the amount of movement based on the acquired points as the first privilege cannot be reached even if both one and the other are continuously moved during the game, the other game in the next game May also be moved. Specifically, for example, in the game, the first index (or the first index and the second index) as the protagonist side is the second character as the enemy character in the next game where the continuous movement effect cannot be expressed. You may make it change both relative position by the continuous movement production | presentation of 2 parameter | index.

The continuous movement effects of the present embodiment include those that are performed in a batch process in real time without resetting the contents of the effects and the flow of the effects for each game, thereby enabling seamless video expression. It is possible.
In addition, the movement effect on the map in which the symbol mark of each character moves on the route and the moving appearance form effect that displays the moving appearance form such as each character walking, etc., provide a seamless effect display in real time. be able to. That is, it is possible to make the effect display of both the moving effect on the map and the moving appearance form effect so-called linked with no inconsistent portions.

(Other variations)
In the first embodiment, the route has a ring shape composed of circular orbits. However, the route is not limited to circular orbits. For example, the route is a line display (straight line shape) or a bar display, and each indicator When it reaches one end of the shape, it may move to the other end (so-called warp) so that there is no dead end.

  Further, as in the second embodiment and the third embodiment described above, the route may have a dead end line shape (straight line shape) or a bar display. Any shape may be used.

  In the above-described first to fourth embodiments, one route is set for one enlarged map display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one route is displayed for one enlarged map display. A plurality of (multiple types) routes may be set. For example, one route may be determined from a plurality of routes set in the enlarged map display determined at the start of the CZ state, and the determined route may be used as the route for the enlarged map display in the CZ state.

  Although the route of the present embodiment is not displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the display device 84, the route is not limited to this and may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the display device 84. However, in this case, for example, the route is displayed in a blinking state, for example, the center portion of the route is displayed with a thin line, and other display objects (symbol images and enlarged map displays indicating the first index and the second index) are displayed. It is good to keep it out of the way.

  In the present embodiment, referring to the result of the lottery drawing, either the subtraction value or the addition value is acquired and reflected (counted) in the current accumulation point. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a predetermined combination is won, both the point subtraction lottery A and the point addition lottery B may be executed. Both the subtraction value and the addition value may be acquired and reflected (counted) in the current accumulation point. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to acquire either a subtraction value in which the accumulation point approaches the predetermined threshold (0 point) or an addition value in which the accumulation point moves away from the predetermined threshold (0 point) through the CZ state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only a value (subtraction value) that causes the accumulation point to approach a predetermined threshold may be obtained through the CZ state. For example, when a predetermined threshold is set to 0 points, if a winning combination is won, the point addition lottery is not executed, the point subtraction lottery is executed to acquire only the subtraction value and the accumulated points are decreased to reduce the threshold Move closer. Also, for example, when a predetermined threshold is set to 500 points, if a winning combination is won, the point subtraction lottery is not executed, but the point addition lottery is executed to acquire only the added value and increase the accumulated points. To approach the threshold.

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the points are acquired during the CZ state, and when the predetermined specified value (0 points) is reached, the transition to the AT state is confirmed. It is not something. For example, in a normal state such as a permitted section normal state, when a point is acquired and a predetermined specified value is reached, the transition to the CZ state or the transition to the AT state may be confirmed. Also, when points are earned during the AT state and reach a predetermined prescribed value, the gaming state is improved so as to be advantageous to the player, for example, it is easy to add the number of games in an advantageous state. Alternatively, for example, an addition lottery process for determining whether or not to carry out such an addition may be performed by lottery, or for example, a transition to a specialized zone that is a game section advantageous to the player, etc. But you can.

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the first index is mainly moved or moved based on the acquired points, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, the second index may be first moved or moved based on the acquired points. Also, the index to be moved first or the index to be moved is not limited to one that is fixed to one of the first index and the second index, but is moved first in a predetermined order, for example. The direction to be performed may be changed, and for example, it may be determined which one is moved first by lottery or the like.

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, when there are no earned points in this game and there is no change in accumulated points from the previous game, the movement of each index is not performed. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the amount of movement in this game is predetermined, regardless of the points acquired in this game, one index is moved by the amount of movement, and the difference between the amount of movement and the amount of movement based on the acquired points You may make it move the other based on. Specifically, for example, if the movement amount of one of the first index and the second index is fixed as the subtraction value of 4 points, and if 2 points are acquired as the subtraction value in this game, This includes moving the other of the index and the second index in a direction away from the other by two points.
