Can improve the interest of Moreover, since the specific display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, whichever of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, the process of derivation control can be simplified. it can. Furthermore, the specific control is executed based on the specific information updated when the specific display result is derived, regardless of whether the first specific determination result or the second specific determination result. The fact that the specific display result has been derived can be used as a trigger.

  In the above (1) and (2), the “first display result” and the “second display result” include any of the symbol combination of the minor combination, the symbol combination of the re-play combination, and the symbol combination of the special combination. Furthermore, the relationship between the "first display result" and the "second display result" is the relationship between the symbol combination of the small combination and the symbol combination of the small combination, and the relationship between the symbol combination of the small combination and the symbol combination of the remake , Relationship between symbol combination of replay player and symbol combination of minor character, relationship between symbol combination of replay player and symbol combination of replay character, relationship between symbol combination of minor character and symbol combination of special character, special Includes both the relationship between the symbol combination of the part and the symbol combination of the small part, the relationship between the symbol combination of the special part and the symbol combination of the replay part, and the relationship between the symbol combination of the replay part and the symbol combination of the special part .

  In the above (1) and (2), the “specific display result” includes both a display result where a winning occurs and a display result where a winning does not occur (for example, a dropped eye). The “specific display result” may include a plurality of types of display results, and further, it is specified when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result When operated in the operation procedure, any one of a plurality of types of display results may be derived. That is, the present invention is not limited to the case where the same specific display result is derived as long as the specific operation procedure is the same when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result. Even if the operation procedure is the same, different display results may be derived as specific display results from among a plurality of types of display results.

  In the above (1) and (2), even if the "specific operation procedure" includes all operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure, any operation of all the operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure A procedure may be included.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
When the specific condition is satisfied (for example, during AT), the game is performed when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result and when the second specific determination result is 25. For example, in the AT lottery reference table shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the middle bell 1 to 4 is won, the expected value of giving the navistock is higher than when the middle bell 5 to 8 is won ).

  According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is established, the player can be made to pay attention to which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, and the interest of the game can be obtained. It can be improved.

  In the above (3), the “advancing degree” is an advantage provided by the main control such as an advantage for payout of medals, an advantage provided by the sub-control such as an advantage for navigation effects, and an award by a server device Including any of the advantages provided by devices other than gaming machines, such as those related to.

(4) In the above slot machines (1) to (3),
When the derivation operation means is operated in an operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure (for example, middle first stop, right first stop) when the specific condition is not satisfied (for example, during non-AT) The disadvantage control means is further capable of performing disadvantaged control (penalty assignment) which is disadvantageous for a player who is not performed when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure (for example, left first stop). Prepare.

  According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is not established, the player operates the derivation operation means in the specific operation procedure so that the disadvantageous control is not performed. Thereby, when the specific condition is not satisfied, the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure to derive the specific display result, regardless of whether the first specific determination result or the second specific determination result. Therefore, the player is not made to recognize which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result.

(5) In the above slot machines (1) to (4),
The derivation control means
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result (for example, middle bell 1 to 4 won), the predetermined variable of the non-derived variable display unit When the lead-out operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, middle first stop) in which the lead-out operation means corresponding to the display unit (for example, middle reel 2C) is operated first, the first display result (for example, Control to derive the symbol combination of the middle bell,
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result (for example, middle bell 5-8 winning), the predetermined variable of the underived variable display unit The derivation operation means corresponding to the display unit (for example, the middle reel 2C) is operated first, and thereafter the derivation operation means corresponding to the specific variable display unit (for example, the left reel 2L) different from the predetermined variable display unit When the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, middle left push) to be operated, control is performed to derive the second display result (for example, symbol combination of right downward bell).

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation operation means is operated in the predetermined operation procedure determined by only the first operation when it is the first specific determination result, the first display result is derived as opposed to the second When the determination result is a specific determination result, the second display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure which is also determined by the subsequent operation in addition to the first operation. As a result, since the predetermined operation procedure is different depending on which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In the slot machine of (1) to (5) above,
The first display result (for example, the symbol combination in the middle bell) is the identification information of the plurality of types on a specific line (for example, on the pay line LN) of the plurality of lines straddling the plurality of variable display portions. The specific identification information (for example, the symbol of the bell) is a derived display result, and the second display result (for example, the symbol combination of the lower right bell) is the specific line of the plurality of lines. It is a display result by which the said specific identification information (for example, the symbol of a bell) is derived | led-out on a different line (for example, on the invalid line LM3).

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation operation means is operated in the predetermined operation procedure, the player is focused on whether the specific identification information is derived on the specific line or on a line different from the specific line. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(7) In the slot machine of (1) to (6) above,
It further comprises a delay control execution means (for example, processing for executing freezing by the main control unit 41) for executing delay control (for example, freezing) for delaying the progress of the game,
The specific control execution means changes the execution probability of the delay control in the delay control execution means based on the specific information as the specific control (for example, timing t10 in FIG. 26, processing of Sb 13 in FIG. 28).

  According to such a configuration, since the execution probability of the delay control changes based on the specific information updated when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, the interest of the game can be improved.

(8) In the slot machine of (1) to (7) above,
It further comprises external output means (for example, external output processing by the main control unit 41) for outputting to the outside specific information (for example, an AT signal capable of specifying AT control) capable of specifying the gaming state,
The specific control execution means changes the output mode of the specific information in the external output means based on the specific information as the specific control (for example, timing t10 in FIG. 26, processing of Sb 12 in FIG. 28).

  According to such a configuration, since the output mode of the specific information changes based on the specific information updated when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, it is possible to recognize the gaming state from the outside and enjoy the interest of the game Can be improved.

(9) In the slot machine of (8) above,
When the specific control execution means changes the output mode of the specific information, the determination result of the predetermination means is a special determination result (for example, normal replay winning), and a special operation procedure (for example, forward pressing) The first trigger (for example, timing t4 in FIG. 26) when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation procedure other than the above-mentioned operation procedure) and the determination result of the preliminary determination means is the first specific determination result (for example, middle bell) 1 to 4 wins) and the second specific determination result (for example, middle bell 5 to 8 wins), and when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure (for example, forward pressing) And a second trigger (for example, timing t10 in FIG. 26).
The first opportunity is an opportunity that is more advantageous for the player than the second opportunity (for example, while the normal replay plays at timing t4, a secondary player with one payout number wins at the timing t10, and the transition comes out Eyes are derived or lost),
The slot machine is notification means (for example, an operation procedure other than forward pressing) which can specify the special operation procedure (for example, when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the special determination result). The sub control unit 91 further includes a process of executing navigation effects.

  According to such a configuration, there is a first opportunity and a second opportunity as a trigger for changing the output mode of the specific information, so the specific information is selected at the first opportunity or the second opportunity according to the design content of the gaming machine. The output mode can be changed. Furthermore, since the first opportunity is an opportunity more advantageous to the player than the second opportunity, if the first opportunity is used when changing the output mode of the specific information, the player is disadvantageous like the second opportunity. Can be avoided.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion portion 4 or a bet number is set using a credit. In order to use the credit, the MAX BET switch 6 may be operated. When a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set, the payline LN (see FIG. 1) becomes effective, and the operation of the start switch 7 is effective, that is, the state where the game can be started. Become. In the present embodiment, three cards are determined as the specified number of bets, and when the specified number of bets is set, the pay line LN becomes effective. When the medal is inserted exceeding the maximum number among the prescribed numbers corresponding to the gaming state, that amount is added to the credit.

  The pay line is a line set to determine whether a combination of symbols displayed in the see-through window 3 of each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a symbol combination such as a small winning combination or a re-play combination. In the present embodiment, these combinations are also referred to as "winning combination" or "winning", and a combination of symbols constituting one of the combinations is stopped on the winning line, winning occurs. It is also called. For example, when the symbol combination constituting the replay role is derived on the pay line, a replay game is activated in which the player can play the next game without setting the number of bets using medals. It is also referred to as occurrence of a re-game winning (replay winning) that the symbol combination constituting the re-playing combination is derived on the pay line.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, only the payline LN set across the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, the middle of the reel 2R, ie, the symbols lined horizontally in the middle is the payline It is defined as Although only one pay line is applied in the present embodiment, a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

  In the present embodiment, in order to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols making up the winning combination is complete in the winning line LN, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are set separately from the winning line LN. The winning lines of the invalid lines LM1 to 4 are not determined by the combination of the symbols aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. A combination of symbols (for example, bell-bell-bell By having the configuration in which) is aligned, it is easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a specific winning combination is aligned on the winning line LN.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the invalid line LM1 and the reel 2L set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage of the reel 2L, the upper stage of the reel 2C, and the upper stage of the reel 2R, ie, the upper stage. Lower line, lower line of reel 2C, lower line of reel 2R, ie invalid line LM2 set across symbols arranged horizontally in lower line, upper line of reel 2L, middle line of reel 2C, lower line of reel 2R, ie lower right 4 types of invalid lines LM3 set across straddling symbols, bottom of reel 2L, middle of reel 2C, top of reel 2R, top row of reel 2R, that is, invalid lines LM4 set across symbols lined up to the right are invalid lines It is defined as LM.

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

  One game is ended by stopping all reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and a combination of symbols (hereinafter also referred to as a combination) determined in advance on payline LN is a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R When it stops as, the winning a prize occurs. When a winning occurs, a number of credits determined according to the winning is added. When the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in the present embodiment), the medal is paid out from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 2). When the combination of symbols accompanied by the transition of the gaming state is stopped on the pay line LN, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration using three reels is illustrated, but a configuration using only one reel, a configuration using two reels, and a configuration using four or more reels are also possible. In a configuration using two or more reels, winning may be determined based on a combination of display results derived to all the two or more reels. In the present embodiment, the variable display device is configured by physical reels, but the variable display device may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated to start symbol variation, one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated. When it does, the rotation of the reel which corresponds to the said stop switch 8L, 8C and 8R is stopped, and the symbol is stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate 80 times in 1 minute, and change 80 x 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames, so they draw in a maximum of 4 symbols during 190 ms. be able to. That is, what can be selected as the stop symbol is the symbol displayed when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, the symbol from four frames ahead, and the symbol for five frames in total.

  Therefore, for example, when based on the symbol displayed on the lower side of the reel corresponding to the stop switch when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, the symbol from the symbol to the four frames ahead Since the symbol can be displayed in the lower part, the symbol displayed on the middle of the reel corresponding to the stop switch when any one of the stop switches 8L and 8R is operated on each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R The symbols arranged within 5 frames including can be displayed on the pay line.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the slot machine 1. In the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 4, a game control board 40, an effect control board 90, and a power supply board 101 are provided, the gaming state is controlled by the game control board 40, and the game state is controlled by the effect control board 90. The effect according to is controlled, and the power supply substrate 101 generates drive power of electric components constituting the slot machine 1 and supplies it to each part.

  The power supply substrate 101 is externally supplied with AC 100 V power, and the AC 100 V power supply generates a DC voltage necessary to drive the electric components that make up the slot machine 1, and the game control board 40 and the game control board 40. , And is supplied to the effect control board 90 connected thereto. The power supply line for supplying power to the effect control board is directly connected from the power supply board 101 to the effect control board 90 without passing through the game control board 40, and the power supply board 101 directly supplies power to the effect control board 90. May be supplied.

  Connected to the power supply substrate 101 are a hopper motor 34b, a payout sensor 34c, a full tank sensor 35a, a setting key switch 37, a reset / setting switch 38, and a power switch 39.

Reel sensors 33L, 33C, 33R are connected, and the payout sensor 34c, the full tank sensor 35a, the setting key switch 37, the reset / setting switch 38 are connected via the power supply substrate 101, and these are connected. A detection signal of switches is input.

  The game control board 40 includes a credit display 11, a game auxiliary display 12, 1 to 3 BET LEDs 14 to 16, an insertion request LED 17, a start enable LED 18, a wait LED 19, a replay LED 20, a BET switch enable LED 21, left, middle, right The stop valid LEDs 22L, 22C, 22R, the set value indicator 24, the flow path switching solenoid 30, the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are connected, and the hopper motor 34b is connected via the power supply substrate 101. The electrical components are driven based on the control of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40.

  On the game control board 40, a main control unit 41 for controlling a game is mounted. The main control unit 41 is a microcomputer including a main CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, a RAM 41c, and an I / O port 41d. The game control board 40 has a random number circuit 42 for generating random numbers in a predetermined range (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment), a pulse oscillator 43 for supplying a clock signal of a fixed frequency to the random number circuit 42, and the game control board 40 Switch detection circuit 44 for detecting detection signals input from switches connected directly or through the power supply substrate 101, a motor drive circuit 45 for controlling the drive of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R, and flow path switching Monitoring a power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1, a solenoid drive circuit 46 for controlling the drive of the solenoid 30, an LED drive circuit 47 for controlling the drive of various indicators and LEDs connected to the game control board 40, A power failure detection circuit 48 which outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41 when a voltage drop is detected, and a power supply A reset circuit 49 to provide a reset signal to the main CPU41a when initialization command from Nyutoki or main CPU41a is not inputted, and the other various devices and circuits are mounted.

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

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

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the processing according to the control state until the detection states of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 change as the basic processing, and stepwise according to the change of the detection states of the various switches Execute the process of transitioning to The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function, and can interrupt the basic processing upon interrupt occurrence to execute interrupt processing, and responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power failure detection circuit 48. The power interruption process (main) is executed, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at predetermined time intervals. The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the combined time of the process to be repeated depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). The processing to be repeated between the current and the next timer interrupt processing (main) according to the control state is always at least one round.

  In the power-off process, the execution of other interrupt processes is prohibited as the process starts. Then, processing is performed to save all the registers that may be used in the RAM 41c. In this way, upon power failure recovery, it is possible to return to the original processing. Next, after initializing all output ports, RAM parity is calculated based on all data stored in the RAM 41 c and set in a predetermined parity storage area to inhibit RAM access. And it enters into loop processing which does not perform any processing. That is, if the voltage drops as it is, the operation is internally stopped. Therefore, the main control unit 41 reliably stops operation at the time of power interruption. As described above, in the power-off process, the RAM parity at that time is calculated and stored in the parity storage area, and the data stored in the RAM 41 c is normal by comparing with the RAM parity calculated at the next activation. You can check

  The reset circuit 49 outputs a reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the voltage rises to a level at which the main control unit 41 can start when the power is turned on, thereby activating the main control unit 41. The reset circuit 49 is a main circuit when the value of the reset counter is not cleared but is counted up based on a signal periodically output from the main control unit 41, that is, when the main control unit 41 does not operate for a predetermined time. This circuit is a circuit that outputs a reset signal to the control unit 41 and restarts the main control unit 41.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. Here, from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90, for example, using a unidirectional circuit such as a diode or a transistor, only in one direction (the direction from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90) It is configured so that the signal can not pass through. Therefore, the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is transmitted in one direction only, and the command is not transmitted from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. Command transmission from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is performed by serial communication. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not limited to the direct connection configuration, but may be connected via a relay board, for example.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to the effect switch 56, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to a rendering device such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 2) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, a rendering effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and a reel LED 55. The effect device is driven based on control by the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control substrate 90 is configured to perform output control of the effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55. The output control unit for directly controlling the output of the rendering device separately from the sub control unit 91 is mounted on the effect control substrate 90 or another substrate, and the sub control unit 91 produces effects based on commands from the main control unit 41. The output pattern of the device may be determined, and the output control unit may perform output control of the rendering device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control unit The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the above.

  Although the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are illustrated as the effect device in the present embodiment, the effect device is not limited to this, and a mechanically driven display device or machine It is also possible to apply a role that is driven in the same manner as the effect device.

  On the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for controlling the effect, a display control circuit 92 for controlling the display of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the effect control board 90, drive control for the effect LED 52, and the reel LED 55 LED drive circuit 93, audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from speakers 53 and 54, reset circuit 95 for giving a reset signal to sub CPU 91a when power is turned on or when an initialization instruction from sub CPU 91a is not inputted for a predetermined time A switch detection circuit 96 for detecting a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, a clock device 97 for outputting time information including date information and time information, power supplied to the slot machine 1 When the voltage is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, a voltage drop signal indicating that is detected by the sub CPU 91 Such as power interruption detection circuit 98 for outputting is mounted against. The sub control unit 91 is configured by a microcomputer including a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and an I / O port 91d. The sub CPU 91a receives various commands from the game control board 40 to perform various controls for effecting, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. .

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. The sub control unit 91 executes timer interrupt processing (sub) by generating an interrupt each time the number of inputs of the system clock reaches a fixed number, that is, at fixed intervals.

  Unlike the main control unit 41, when an interruption occurs based on the reception of a command, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even if the timer interruption process (sub) is being executed, and the command is interrupted and the command is executed. The reception interrupt process is executed, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if an interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) simultaneously occurs.

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

[Setting value]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout rate of medals (the ratio of the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets and the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes. Specifically, the payout rate of medals changes by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery or the like. The set value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6, and the payout rate is the highest at 6 and the payout rate decreases as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, from the point of payout rate, the player has the highest advantage when the setting value is set to 6, and the advantages become lower stepwise as the value becomes smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Become.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 and then turn on the slot machine 1. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to setting change status. In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the setting 6 is further operated, the setting is returned to the setting 1) . Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41 c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state where the game can be progressed.

  It is also possible to shift to the setting change state on condition of “power on” + “setting key on” + “front door open detection”. Thereby, the unauthorized setting change in the state where the front door 1b is not opened can be prevented. Furthermore, once the setting change state is entered, the setting change state is maintained regardless of the open / close state of the front door 1b until the end condition (the setting key is turned off after setting value determination) for ending the setting change state is satisfied. You may do it. As a result, even if the front door 1b is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not ended, so it is possible to prevent the trouble of causing transition to the setting change state again.

  In order to confirm the setting value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in the state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read from the RAM 41 c is displayed on the setting value display 24 to shift to a setting confirmation state where the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game can not be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended, and the state of the game can be returned to the progressing state.

  It should be noted that the setting confirmation state may be transitioned on condition of “setting key ON” + “front door opening detection” as a condition. Thereby, the unauthorized setting confirmation in the state where the front door 1b is not open | released can be prevented. Furthermore, once the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation state is maintained regardless of the open / close state of the front door 1b until the end condition (setting key is OFF operation) for ending the setting confirmation state is satisfied. It is also good. As a result, even if the front door 1b is closed during the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state is not ended, so it is possible to prevent the trouble of causing transition to the setting confirmation state again.

[Power-off process]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. Power failure judgment processing is performed, and when it is judged that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure judgment processing, power interruption processing (main) to set data for judging whether the data in RAM 41c is normal or not at the next return Run.

  The main control unit 41 restores the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41 c on condition that the data of the RAM 41 c is normal at the time of startup. If the RAM data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and a RAM abnormal error code is set in a register to control the RAM abnormal error state to disable the progress of the game.

  The sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and determines that the voltage drop signal is detected, and then returns next time. At the same time, a power interruption process (sub) is performed to set data for determining whether the data in the RAM 91c is normal.

  The sub-control unit 91 restores the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91 c on condition that the data in the RAM 91 c is normal at the time of activation. If the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, the execution of the effect is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  Even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 receives, from the main control unit 41, a setting command indicating that the setting has been changed, a certain time after activation. Even in the case where neither the return command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned nor the setting command has been received, the RAM 91 c is initialized. Also in this case, the execution of the effect is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91 c.

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

  In the present embodiment, when the RAM abnormal error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both turned on, the setting key switch 37 is on, the reset / setting switch 38 is activated. When the setting key switch 37 is off and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed at the time of start-up in the state of off, the five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied. Perform five different types of initialization in different areas to be initialized according to each initialization condition.

  The initialization 0 is an initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both on in the case of a RAM abnormal error. In the initialization 0, all areas of the RAM 41 c are initialized. Ru. The initialization 1 is a state in which the setting key switch 37 is on and the reset / setting switch 38 is off at the time of startup, and the initialization is performed prior to the transition to the setting change state. The areas other than the important work and the special work in the storage area of are initialized. In the initialization 2, the general work, the unused area and the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized. The initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at startup and the data in the RAM 41 c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, a non-saved work, an unused area and an unused area The used stack area is initialized. The initialization 4 is performed at the end of one game. In the initialization 4, the unused area and the unused stack area of the storage area of the RAM 41 c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the transition of the setting change state, but it is performed when the setting change state ends, or before the transition of the setting change state, or at the end of the setting change state. May be

[Internal lottery]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the activated pay lines (in the case of the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always activated when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R stop). In the following, when the activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), a combination of symbols called a winning combination is awarded. The role may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The types of winning combinations are roughly divided into a special combination with transition to a special gaming state advantageous to the player, a small combination with payout of medals, and the next game without the player using the medals. The number of bets that can be played is set as a replay role. The small part and the replay part are collectively referred to as a general part.

  In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery and to set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  The winning flags of the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are validated only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalidated in the next game. The winning combination flag of the special combination is validated until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and becomes invalid in the game in which the combination of allowed combinations is complete. That is, once the winning combination of the special part is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the special flag can not be aligned, the winning flag is carried over to the next game without being invalidated.

  The internal lottery determines whether or not the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived and displayed (in fact, when the start switch 7 is detected), whether or not the winning combination for each combination is permitted. It is. In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. For each role determined according to the gaming state (type of RT), each numerical value stored in the lottery work, each determined according to the current gaming state (type of RT), the number of bets, and the set value An internal lottery is performed according to the judgment value number of the winning combination.

  In the internal lottery, the internal lottery random number value (stored in the lottery work) is the role to be subjected to the internal lottery, the current gaming state (the type of the current RT) and the number of judgment values determined corresponding to the set value. When the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with the probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of determination values.

  If it is determined that one of the winning combinations has been won, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c.

[Stop control of reel]
The stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41 b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel still rotating remains. Create a stop control table for each spinning reel. Then, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the reference stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

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

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any operation corresponding to the rotating reel among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the control when causing the corresponding reel to derive the display result To explain, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation. The area number is identified, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the identified stop operation position is acquired with reference to the stop control table of the reel in which the stop operation is detected. Then, based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation, the acquired number of sliding symbols is calculated and the number of steps until stopping is calculated, and control is performed to rotate the reel by the calculated number of steps and to stop. . Thus, the area corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected from the area number corresponding to the number of sliding symbols is the stop reference position (in the present embodiment, Stop in the lower symbol area).

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

  In the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding symbols, and it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four-piece symbols after detecting the stopping operation. That is, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from the range of maximum 5 frames including the stop operation position at which the stop operation is detected. Since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel by 1 symbol, it is possible to pull in a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation and stop the reel, and the stop operation position at which the stop operation is detected You can specify the stop position of the symbol from the range of maximum 5 symbols including.

  In the present embodiment, when one of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn as much as possible over the pay line in the range of 4 frames, and the non-winning combinations are pulled so as not to be aligned on the pay line. A stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is defined is created, and stop control of the reel is performed, but when none of the winning combinations is won, the stopping control in which the number of sliding symbols is not equal is determined Create a table and control the reels to stop. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if it is possible to align and stop the winning combination in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line, control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. The player who has not played the game is controlled to stop in the leading range of up to 4 frames without being aligned.

  If the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected, such as when the small combination is elected while the special combination has been carried over from before the previous game, control to align the small combination on the pay line compared to the special combination It is possible to win the special part only if priority is given and the small part can not be withdrawn. In addition, when a special role and a small role can be drawn at the same time, only the small role is drawn in, and the small role and the special role are not aligned on the pay line.

  In addition, when the special character and the small character are winning at the same time, the control of aligning the special character on the pay line is given priority over the small character, and the small character is put on the pay line only when the special character can not be withdrawn. You may perform control to align.

  When the special combination and the second combination are simultaneously won, such as when the second combination is won while the special combination is carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, Control to align and stop the symbols of the re-playing combination in the leading range of up to 4 pieces. In this case, the symbols making up the re-playing combination or the symbols making up the simultaneously-playing re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, that is, within 4 frames, 4 Since it can always be stopped at any position within the leading range of the piece, when the special role and the replay role are simultaneously won, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. Be sure to get a winning combination of re-player roles. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the re-play combination on the pay line has priority over the special combination, and the re-play combination always wins. When the special combination and the re-play combination can be drawn simultaneously, only the re-play combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the pay line at the same time as the re-play combination.

  After the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started, the main control unit 41 continues the rotation of the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the switches 8L, 8C and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even when the reel rotation is temporarily stopped due to the occurrence of the reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is detected after the reel rotation is resumed. The rotation of the reels not being continued is continued, and control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reels on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected.

  In the present embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, but it is determined in advance after the rotation of the reel starts. When the automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the stop operation of the reels is not performed, automatic stop control may be performed to automatically stop each reel, assuming that the stop operation has been performed. In this case, since the reel is stopped without the operation of the player, it is preferable to derive a display result which does not constitute any one of the roles even when any one of the roles is won.

  After starting the game, the main control unit 41 counts the game time which is the time elapsed from the time when the rotation of the reel is started, that is, the time when the rotation of the reel is started. After the end of the game, when the bet number is set by inserting a medal, etc. and the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, clocking is performed from the reel rotation start time of the previous game. If the started game time is equal to or longer than the predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in the present embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed from the reel rotation start time of the previous game, that time Start reel rotation in the game.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when the specified number of bets is set by inserting a medal or the like and the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation start of the previous game is started. If the game time at which time counting is started from the time point is less than the predetermined restriction time, that is, if the predetermined restriction time has not elapsed from the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time. It waits until the game time whose timing has been started from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches a predetermined restriction time, and when the predetermined restriction time is reached, the rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined restriction time has not elapsed from the start of the reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 restricts the progress of the game until the predetermined restriction time elapses, and the shortest of one game The progress of the game is regulated so that the time is equal to or longer than a predetermined regulation time.

  In the present embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are stopped in response to the stop operation, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning combination corresponding to the winning has been achieved on the activated pay line. If it is determined that it is determined that the winning combinations corresponding to any of the winning combinations are present, control at the time of winning is performed. For example, when the small winning combination is complete, control is performed to give medals according to the small winning combination, and when the re-playing combination is complete, control to give a replay game is performed.

[command]
The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

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

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command. The sub control unit 91 determines the type of command based on the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets. The bet command is a state from the end of the game (after the setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where the bet number is not set, the bet number is inserted by operating the MAX BET switch 6 or medals. Sent when is set. Since the bet command is transmitted when the bet number setting operation is performed, the sub control unit 91 can specify that the bet number setting operation is performed by receiving the bet command.

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

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result. The internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. The sub control unit 91 can specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The freeze command is a command that can specify whether or not to execute freeze. The freeze command is sent when the freeze is performed. The freeze is control for delaying the progress of the game for a predetermined time.

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

  The reel stop command is a command capable of specifying whether the reel to be stopped is any of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel, the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. It is. The reel stop command is transmitted each time the stop control is performed in connection with the stop operation of each reel. The sub control unit 91 can specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been operated by receiving the reel stop command.

  The prize determination command is a command capable of specifying the combination of symbols arranged on the prize line LN, the presence or absence of a prize, the type of prize, and the number of medals paid out at the time of prize. The prize determination command is transmitted after all reels stop and a prize determination is made.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of medal payout. The payout start command is transmitted when payout of medals by settlement of winnings and credits (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is started. The payout end command is a command for notifying the medal payout end. The end-of-payout command is transmitted when the payout of medals due to winnings and settlement of credits is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games. The game state command is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The standby command is a command indicating transition to the standby state. The wait command ends the payout of medals due to the settlement of credits (including the medals used for setting the number of bets) when a certain period of time elapses without setting the number of bets after one game is over and transition to the standby state And an end-of-delivery command is sent.

  The suspension command is a command indicating generation or cancellation of the suspension state. When controlled to the stopping state, the stopping command indicating the occurrence of the stopping state is transmitted, and when the resetting operation is performed and the stopping state is released, the stopping command indicating the release of the stopping state is transmitted. Be done.

  The error command is a command that indicates the type of an error state or the occurrence or cancellation of an error state. When an error is judged and an error state is controlled, an error command indicating the occurrence of an error state and its type is sent, and when a reset operation is performed and the error state is released, an error command indicating cancellation of the error state Is sent.

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

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state, and the setting value after the setting change. A setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted when transitioning to the setting change state, and a setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted at the end of the setting change state. Since the sub control unit 91 initializes the control state of the main control unit 41 along with the transition to the setting change state, it is informed that the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. It can be identified.

  The setting confirmation command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting confirmation state. When shifting to the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation command indicating the start of the setting confirmation is transmitted, and when the setting confirmation state is ended, the setting confirmation command indicating the end of the setting confirmation is transmitted.

  The door command is a command indicating a detection state of the door open detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state). The door command changes the detection state of the door open detection switch 25 (from on to off) at the time of power on, at the end of one game (before the setting of the bet number of the next game can be started after the game is over). , Sent from when off).

  The operation detection command is a switch whose detection state (on / off) has changed among operation switches (MAX BET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and whether the detection state has changed from off to on Is a command indicating whether it has changed from off to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch. The operation detection command is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches changes.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can transmit a signal only in one direction from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, so the main control unit 41 is information indicating an effect state by the control of the sub control unit 91, For example, a signal for specifying information such as whether or not controlled by the AT can not be received directly from the sub control unit 91. That is, the main control unit 41 can not directly recognize the rendering state such as the AT controlled by the sub control unit 91. Therefore, in the present embodiment, among the plurality of types of winning combinations, a determining combination for identifying a rendering state under the control of the sub control unit 91 is provided. The determination combination winning command is a command indicating that such a predetermined determination combination has been won, the type of the determination combination that has been won, and the like. The judgment combination winning command is stored in the command buffer and transmitted, when the start switch 7 is operated to win the judgment combination.

  Among these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in basic processing, temporarily stored in a command queue provided in the RAM 41 c, and transmitted in command transmission processing of timer interrupt processing (main).

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41 c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) thereafter. Ru.

  The operation detection command is generated when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected (when edge data of any switch is set) in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main). , And stored in the operation detection command storage area. The transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed by setting the operation detection command transmission request, and the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) executed thereafter is performed in the command buffer. It is stored and transmitted to the sub control unit 91 by transferring to the serial communication circuit.

[Control by sub control unit 91 when receiving command]
Control of an effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command will be described.

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

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing up to 16 commands, and can store a plurality of commands.

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer in the timer interrupt process (sub), and if the unprocessed command is stored, the earliest of them is stored. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53, 54, the reel LED 55, etc. are based on the control content registered in the control pattern table. Perform output control of various rendering devices.

  The control pattern table includes display patterns of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to command types, lighting modes of the rendering effect LEDs 52, output modes of the speakers 53 and 54, lighting modes of the reel LEDs, and the like for each of a plurality of types of effect patterns. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the control patterns of the control pattern table are registered in correspondence with the effect patterns set in the RAM 91 c in the game. Among them, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. As a result, an effect corresponding to the effect pattern and the progress of the game is performed.

  When the sub-control unit 91 newly receives a command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 cancels the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and corresponds to the newly received command. Perform an effect based on the control pattern. That is, even when the effect is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the effect being executed is canceled and the effect based on the new command is executed.

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

[Prize winning combination]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the symbol is aligned on any of the pay lines, a prize is won. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the game status, but are roughly divided into special roles with a transition to a big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with a payout of medals, and setting of the number of bets And a player who can start the next game.

  The big bonus is called BB, and the regular bonus is also called RB. The big bonus and the regular bonus are also simply referred to as a bonus. In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to select an internal lottery and set a winning flag to permit the combination of the combination to be set in the RAM.

  5 to 8 are diagrams for describing types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical items related to the winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a view for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a view showing an outline of the gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the game is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, 2 and the bonus (RB, BB), and the normal gaming state (hereinafter also referred to as the normal gaming state is normal). It is controlled to any one of RT0 to 4).

  First, the special part of the winning combinations will be described with reference to FIG. The special role includes six types of bonuses BB 1 to 4 and RBs 1 and 2. Each special part is awarded when the corresponding symbol combination is complete.

  For example, BB1 wins when the combination of "black 7-black 7-black 7" is complete on the pay line, and is played as a big bonus in which every game is controlled to a regular bonus during BB (hereinafter also referred to as RB during BB) The state transitions. The big bonus generated due to any of the BB1 to BB4 winnings ends on the condition that at least 316 medals have been paid out.

  For example, RB1 is a prize when the combination of "net 7-net 7-black 7" is aligned with the pay line, and the gaming state shifts to a regular bonus (hereinafter also referred to as RB). The regular bonus generated due to any one of the RB1 and RB2 awards ends on the condition that one of the winning combinations has won six times or completed six games.

  As shown in FIG. 9, until one of BB1, BB3 and RB2 is internally elected and until winning a prize, the inside is controlled to 1 · RT0, and one of BB2, BB4 and RB1 is internally elected. It is controlled to 2 · RT0 during the inside from the to the prize. After the big bonus or regular bonus (collectively referred to as a bonus) is over, it is usually controlled to RT4. Note that since RT4 is a state before being controlled to RT1, it is also referred to as a preparation state.

  Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1 and RB2 is won in the internal lottery, if you do not operate the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R at an appropriate timing to enable these roles, it is possible to use these roles. There is no chance to win a prize.

  The small part of the winning combinations will be described with reference to FIG. For small part, middle bell, down right bell, upper bell 1 to 8, middle watermelon, right down watermelon, upper watermelon, lower cherry, middle cherry, 1 piece, up right bell, up right bevel, up right bell included. For each small winning combination, winning occurs when the corresponding symbol combination is complete, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  For example, the middle bell is awarded when the combination of "bell-bell-bell" is complete on the payline LN, and eight medals are paid out. When the middle bell is won in the internal lottery, in principle, it is possible to win regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The right-down bell is a combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, or “Plum-Bell-Plum” in the payline LN. It will be a prize and eight medals will be paid out. In the internal lottery, when the player is elected to the lower right bell, in principle, winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The upper bell 1 is a prize when the combination of “replay-orange-orange” is aligned with the payline LN. The upper bell 2 is a prize when the combination of “Replay-Orange-BAR” is complete on the payline LN. The upper bell 3 is a prize when the combination of “Replay-BAR-Orange” is complete in the pay line LN. The upper bell 4 is a prize when the combination of “Replay-BAR-BAR” is complete on the payline LN. The upper bell 5 wins when the combination of “Plum-Orange-Orange” is complete in the pay line LN. The upper bell 6 is a prize when the combination of "Plum-Orange-BAR" is complete on the payline LN. The upper bell 7 wins when the combination of “Plum-BAR-Orange” is complete in the pay line LN. The upper bell 8 is a prize when the combination of "Plum-BAR-BAR" is complete on the payline LN. When one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won, three medals are paid out. Even if one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won in the internal lottery, if you do not operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the design symbols of the upper bells that are won, you win. There is no chance to win the top bell.

  Also for the other minors, when the symbol combinations shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the replay role of the winning combination will be described. The replay role includes normal replay, lower replay, fall replay, promotion replays 1 and 2, special replay, and SP (special) replay. For each replay player, winning is achieved when the corresponding symbol combination is complete, the bet number is automatically set without consuming medals, and the next game is started (that is, the replay game (replay) is Granted).

  For example, a normal replay is a prize when a combination of “replay-replay-replay”, “replay-replay-plum”, “plum-replay-replay”, and “plum-replay-plum” is complete in the payline LN. , Replay game is given. The other replay players are also awarded when the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 7 are complete, and a replay game is awarded. It should be noted that medals greater than the number of medals used for setting the number of bets can be paid out when the small winning combination is won, while medals are not paid out when the winning combination is won, and the replay game is awarded. It can be said that the small part who can increase the net increase number is a part having a higher degree of advantage than the re-play part.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning the fall replay in the normal RT0, it is controlled to RT1. After winning in promotion replay (promotion replay 1 or promotion replay 2) in normal RT1, it is controlled to normal RT0. The promotion replay is not won alone in the internal lottery in the normal RT2, the normal RT3, and the normal RT4. When the special combination and the promotion replay are simultaneously won in the internal lottery in the normal RT2, the normal RT3, and the normal RT4, the internal lottery is controlled to 1 · RT0 or 2 · RT0. Therefore, in the normal RT2, the normal RT3, and the normal RT4, the player does not win the promotion replay. As a result, it is not controlled from normal RT2, normal RT3, normal RT4 to normal RT0, and it is promoted promotion replay only when it is normal RT1, and it is controlled from normal RT1 only to normal RT0.

  After winning special replay in the normal RT1 and the normal RT3, the normal RT2 is controlled. Special Replays do not win alone in the internal lottery at Normal RT1 or Normal RT4. When the special combination and the special replay are simultaneously won in the internal lottery in the normal RT1 and the normal RT4, the internal control is controlled to 1 · RT0 or 2 · RT0. Therefore, special replays are not won in the normal RT1 and the normal RT4. As a result, the normal replay is achieved only when the normal RT1 and the normal RT4 are not controlled to the normal RT2 and the normal replay RT0 and the normal RT3 are performed, and the regular replay RT0 and the normal RT3 only It is controlled. In the case where the special replay is won in the normal RT2, the normal RT2 is maintained.

  After winning the SP replay in the normal RT2, it is controlled to the normal RT3. SP Replay will not win alone in the internal lottery in the normal RT0, the normal RT1, and the normal RT4. If the special combination and the SP replay are simultaneously won in the internal lottery in the normal RT0, the normal RT1, the normal RT4, the internal control is controlled to 1 · RT0 or 2 · RT0. Therefore, in the normal RT0, the normal RT1, and the normal RT4, the SP replay is not won. As a result, it is not controlled from the normal RT0, the normal RT1, the normal RT4 to the normal RT3, but the SP replay wins only when it is the normal RT2, and the normal RT3 is controlled from the normal RT2 to the normal RT3. In the case where the special replay is won in the normal RT3, the normal RT3 is maintained.

  The transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. In the appearances other than the appearances generating the prizes, transition appearances and separation appearances are provided. The transition outcome is a combination of 20 types of "Replay-Orange-Bell" and the like. The out-of-round appearance is not an appearance in which some kind of winning is generated, a gaming value is given, a gaming state is changed, or advantageous control or disadvantageous control is performed for the player. Even when a winning combination other than push order bell is won, if the selected winning combination does not win, the out-of-round number is derived. In addition, it is also said that it is a loss that the outset is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the normal RT0, the normal RT2, the normal RT3, and the normal RT4, after the transition result is aligned with the pay line LN, the normal RT1 is controlled. When the transition result is aligned with the pay line LN in the normal RT1, the normal RT1 is maintained. When RT1 is compared with RT0, RT2, and RT3, RT1 has a lower advantage than RT0, RT2, and RT3 in that the medal payout rate is low. Therefore, it is disadvantageous for the player that the transition outcome is derived at RT0, RT2 or RT3. On the other hand, even if the outlier is derived at RT0, RT2 or RT3, it is not controlled by RT1 by that. For this reason, when the out-of-round eye is derived, it is more advantageous for the player than when the out-of-transition eye is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal gaming state, one of RT0 to 4 is controlled. In the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, an area in which a gaming state flag capable of specifying a gaming state is stored, and an area in which an RT flag capable of specifying a type of RT is stored. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, "0000" indicates normal gaming state, "0001" indicates 1 inside, "0010" indicates 2 inside, and "0100" indicates RB, “1100” indicates BB (RB). The RT flag is 4-bit data, "0000" indicates RT0, "0001" indicates RT1, "0010" indicates RT2, "0011" indicates RT3, and "0100" indicates RT4. .

  In the RAM 41c, an area capable of storing the number of remaining RT games as well as a storage area of the RT flag is allocated for one byte, and the number of remaining games until the RT is completed is stored. In the case of RT0, 3 and 4 which do not end with the number of games, 0 is set as the number of remaining RT games.

  In the present embodiment, as a lottery table in which the number of judgment values of the target combination is determined, a lottery table for 1 inside, a lottery table for 2 inside, a lottery table for RB, a lottery for BB (RB) A table and a lottery table for the normal gaming state are provided. Furthermore, as a lottery table for the normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, a lottery table for RT3, and a lottery table for RT4 are provided.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state and the type of RT are specified with reference to the value of the gaming state flag and the value of the RT flag stored in the RAM 41c, and the lottery table is selected accordingly, and the selected lottery table The lottery is done using As a result, with respect to the lottery target roles according to the gaming state and the type of RT, the lottery is performed with the winning probability according to the type of the gaming state and the RT.

  The normal RT0 is shifted when the promotion replay in the normal RT1 is won, or when the normal RT1 or the normal RT2 is finished due to the defined number of games. Normally, regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT0, the transition to RT1 will be transitioned to normal RT1 by stopping the downfall replay or transition, or the transition to RT2 will be transitioned to by the special replay. Or, the special part is won and it ends by shifting to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Normal · The winning probability of the special part at RT0 is usually (about 1/239), the winning probability of the replay player is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability of the small part is usually (about 1 / 3.5 However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Note that a state in which the winning probability of the replay player combination is high as in RT0 is also referred to as a high RT state. In normal / RT0, only the replays GR11 to GR16 and replays GR21 to 25 among replay players are subject to the internal lottery except when winning simultaneously with the special winning combination. The total winning probability of the replays GR11 to GR16 is about 1/2, and the falling fall replay is won with a probability of 5/6 among them, and the transition to RT1 is made, and the total winning probability of the replays GR21 to 25 is about 1/4. Special Replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and moves to RT2 and falls Replay with a probability of 4/5 wins and moves to RT1, and furthermore Bell 1-8, right bell 1 The total of the winning probabilities of 8 to 8 is about 1 / 3.9, and with a probability of 2/3 × 3/4 among them, the transition is stopped and it shifts to RT1. For this reason, if the special part with a low probability of winning is not taken into consideration, when the game moves to the normal RT0, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 1.3.

  The normal RT1 is shifted when the transition outcome is stopped in any of the normal RT0, the normal RT2, the normal RT3, and the normal RT4 or the normal fall RT0 when the fall replay is won. The normal RT1 is shifted to the normal RT0 when the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the number of remaining games is reduced to 0 after the defined number of games (1000 G in the present embodiment) is consumed. Or, the special part is won and it ends by shifting to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Normal · The winning probability of special character in RT1 is normal · Same as RT0 Normal (about 1/239), the winning probability of replay player is lower than normal · RT0 Normal (about 1 / 7.3), winning a small character The probability is the same as in RT0 (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In the normal RT1, only the normal replay and replays GR1 to GR6 among the replay roles are targets of the internal lottery. The total winning probability of the replays GR1 to GR6 is about 1 / 8.7, and the promotion replay is won at a probability of 1/6 of them and the transition to the normal RT0 is made. For this reason, if the special part with a low probability of winning is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is approximately 52 when transitioning to normal RT1.

  The normal RT2 is shifted when the special replay in the normal RT0 or the normal RT3 is won. The normal RT2 is shifted to the normal RT0 when the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the number of remaining games is reduced to 0 after the defined number of games (30 G in the present embodiment) is consumed. Or, SP Replay wins and moves to RT3 normally, or the transition outcome stops and moves to RT1 normally, or the special part is won and ends by shifting to inside 1 or inside 2 Do.

  The probability of winning the special part in the normal RT2 is usually the same as in the normal RT0 (about 1/239), and the probability of winning the replay player is almost the same as that in the RT0 high probability (about 1 / 1.4) (that is, high RT) State), the winning probability of the small part is normal · Same as RT0 (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), medal payout rate per game will be 1 or more . In normal / RT2, only normal replay and replay GRs 31 to 36 among replay players are subject to an internal lottery, except in the case of winning simultaneously with a special combination. The total winning probability of replays GR 31 to 36 is about 1/129, and SP replay is won at a probability of 1/6 of them, and it moves to normal RT 3 and also, middle bell 1 to 8 and right bell 1 to 8 The total of the winning probability is about 1 / 3.9, and with 2/3 × 3/4 of them, the transition is stopped and the transition to the normal RT1 is made. Therefore, if the special role with a low probability of winning is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is approximately 7.9 when transitioning to the normal RT2.

  The normal RT3 is shifted when the SP replay is won in the normal RT2. Normal-Regardless of the number of games after transitioning to RT3 in normal RT3 Special Replay wins and transition to RT2 is normal or transition appearance is stopped and transition to RT1 normal or special The part is won and it ends by shifting to internal 1 or internal 2.

  The probability of winning the special part in the normal RT3 is usually the same as in the normal RT0 (about 1/239), and the probability of winning the replay player is almost the same as in the RT (0) high probability (about 1 / 1.4) (that is, The winning probability of the small winning combination is usually the same as RT0 (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 It becomes above. In normal / RT3, only replays GR 31 to 36 and SP replay among replay players are subject to an internal lottery, except when winning simultaneously with a special combination. The total winning probability of replays GR31 to GR36 is about 1 / 1.4, and the special replay wins with a probability of 2/3 among them, and it moves to normal RT2 and middle bell 1 to 8 and right bell 1 to 1 The total of the winning probability of 8 is about 1 / 3.9, and the transition appearance is stopped with the probability of 2/3 × 3/4, and the transition to the normal RT1 is made. For this reason, if the special role with a low probability of winning is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is approximately 1.7 when transitioning to the normal RT3.

  Normally, RT4 transitions at the end of BB (RB) and RB. Normal ・ RT4 is normal ・ Regardless of the number of games after shifting to RT4, transitioning stop is stopped and shifting to RT1 or special part is won and shifting to inside 1 or inside 2 End with

  Normal · The winning probability of special character in RT4 is usually (about 1/239), the winning probability of replay player is usually lower than RT0, usually (about 1 / 7.3), the winning probability of small characters is usually · RT0 In the same manner as in (1), the payout rate is approximately 1 / 3.5, but the probability of winning is approximately 1 / 6.1, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In the normal RT4, only the normal replay among the replay roles is the target of the internal lottery, except in the case of winning simultaneously with the special role. The total winning probability of the middle bell 1 to 8 and the right bell 1 to 8 is about 1 / 3.9, and the transition appearance stops with 2/3 × 3/4 among them, and the transition to the normal RT1 is made . Therefore, if the special role with a low probability of winning is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is approximately 7.9 when transitioning to the normal RT2.

  The inside 1 is shifted when BB1, BB3 and RB2 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. During the inside 1, regardless of the number of games transferred to the inside, the special part that triggered the transition to the inside 1 is finished by winning and moving to BB (RB) or RB. In 1 inside, the special part is not the object of the internal lottery, the winning probability of the replay player is usually lower than RT0, normal, RT2, normal, RT3 but higher than normal RT1, normal, RT4 Probability (about 1 / 4.2), the probability of winning a small combination is usually (about 1 / 3.5, but the probability of winning is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1 It becomes. In the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the replay roles are subject to the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 is shifted when BB2, BB4 and RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. During the inside 2, regardless of the number of games transferred to the inside, the special part that triggered the transition to the inside 2 is finished by winning and moving to BB (RB) or RB. In 2 inside, the special part is not the object of the internal lottery, the winning probability of the re-playing part is usually lower than RT0, normal, RT2, normal, RT3 but normal, RT1, normal, RT4, inside 1 Higher probability (about 1 / 2.9), the probability of winning a small combination is usually (about 1 / 3.5, but the probability of winning is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout of medals per game The rate will be less than one. In the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the replay roles are subject to the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins inside of 1 and 2 inside. RB ends with six games or six wins. In RB, special roles and re-play roles are not eligible for internal lottery, and the winning probability of small role is higher than normal game state and inside 1 and 2 (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  The BB (RB) transitions when the BB wins inside. The BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the BB (RB) exceeds the specified number regardless of the number of games after the transition to the BB (RB). In BB (RB), special roles and replay players are not eligible for the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than in the normal gaming state and inside 1 and 2 (approximately 1 / 1.00) The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  Among the normal gaming state and the inside 1, 2 and RB, among BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) have the highest payout rate of medals per game, and are the most advantageous gaming state. Among RT0 to RT4 in the normal gaming state, RT0, RT2 and RT3 have high probability of winning the replay player combination, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT4, respectively. More advantageous to the player. In RT0, 2 and 3 in the normal gaming state, the payout rate of medals per game is higher than that of RT1 and 4 among them, but among them, RT3 is the point where acquisition of the navi stock number described later is most expected. It is more advantageous for the player than RTs 2 and 3. While there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT0 to RT3, in which point RT2 is more advantageous for the player than RT0.

  In RT0 and RT4 in the normal gaming state, the probability of winning a replay player is low and the payout rate of medals per game is also lower than RT0, 2 and 3 than RT0, 2 and 3 It is a disadvantage for the player.

[Participant for lottery]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15, combinations of lottery target combinations read as lottery target combinations in each gaming state will be described. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, "+" is written between winning combinations, which indicates that the winning combination is simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination.

  In FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, the vertical columns show the lottery target roles, and the horizontal columns show the gaming state. A circle in the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target combination indicates that the lottery target combination is read when in the gaming state, and a cross indicates that the lottery target combination is in the gaming state. It indicates that it is not read out, that is, it is out of the object of the lottery. The numerical values shown below the o marks indicate the number of judgment values of a predetermined setting value (for example, setting value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of judgment values. The denominator of the determination value number is set to “65536” in correspondence with the random number for the internal lottery (an integer of 0 to 65535). Therefore, for example, the winning probability of the lottery target combination for which “360” is set as the determination value number is 360/65536.

  FIGS. 11 and 12 show combinations of special roles read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 13 shows combinations of small roles read as lottery target roles for each gaming state, and FIG. 14 shows a game FIG. 15 shows a combination of combinations of winning combinations that is read as a lottery target combination for each state, and FIG. 15 shows combinations of winning combinations shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, the gaming state is normal gaming state, inside 1 (BB1, BB3 and RB2 are elected), inside 2 (BB2, BB4 and RB1 are elected) Whether the target role of the internal lottery is different depending on whether it is), BB (RB), and RB, in BB (RB) and RB, the winning probability of the small part is determined higher than in the normal gaming state and the inside An internal lottery is performed using the lottery table.

  If the gaming state is inside, the target part of the internal lottery does not change depending on which one of the inside and 2 of the inside, but depending on which of the inside 1 and the inside 2 is inside An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of the replay player becomes different.

  When the gaming state is the normal gaming state, depending on which one of RT0 to RT4 the replay player combination that is the target of the internal lottery differs and which one of the RT0 to RT4 is the target An internal lottery is performed using a re-playing combination and a lottery table having different winning probabilities.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the internal lottery, a plurality of types of winning combinations are simultaneously read out as lottery target combinations.

  For example, weak watermelons are upper watermelons + right falling watermelons. A strong watermelon is middle-stage watermelon + right falling watermelon. That is, when the middle watermelon is won, it can be recognized that it is a strong watermelon. The weak cherries are the lower cherries alone, and the strong cherries are the lower cherries plus one sheet. In the weak cherries, the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" is derivably controlled in the middle, while in the strong cherries, the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" is releasably controlled in the middle. The player can recognize that the cherry is a strong cherry by stopping the cherry in the lower part of the left reel 2L and aligning the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" in the middle.

  The bell is a middle bell + a right bell. Middle bell 1 means middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 and middle bell 2 means middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 3 means middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 +1, middle bell 4 means middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 +1. The middle bell 5 is right downward bell + upper stage bell 2 + upper stage bell 3 + upper stage bell 5 + upper stage bell 8 and the middle bell 6 is right downward bell + upper stage bell 1 + upper stage bell 4 + upper stage bell 6 + upper stage bell 7 The middle bell 7 is right down bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1 board combination, and middle bell 8 is right lower bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1 It is a role.

  Right bell 1 means middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 and right bell 2 means middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 3 means middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1, and right bell 4 means middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1. Right bell 5 is right down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 and right bell 6 is right lower bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8, Right bell 7 is right down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1 board combination, right bell 8 is right lower bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1 It is a role.

  The middle bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as middle bells, and the right bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as right bells. Among these, the bells 1 to 8 and the right bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as pushing order bells.

  With all roles, all the small parts other than the upward-facing Beveli, ie middle bell + right lower bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon Downward watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherries + middle cherries + 1 sheet combination + right rising bell + right rising libebe.

  RB Bell 1 is a bell rising right + a bell rising right up, RB Bell 2 is a bell rising right + Bell up to right + Ribebe + Belling right, and RB bell 3 is all the minor parts, ie middle bell + Downward Bell + Upper Bell 1 + Upper Bell 2 + Upper Bell 3 + Upper Bell 4 + Upper Bell 5 + Upper Bell 6 + Upper Bell 7 + Upper Bell 8 + Middle Watermelon + Right Watermelon + Upper Watermelon + Lower Cherry + Middle Cherry 1 Sheet + Right Ascending Bell + Ascend Bevel + Ascend Libebe.

Promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.
Replay GR1 is Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1, Replay GR2 is Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2, and Replay GR3 is Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay, Replay GR4 The normal replay + the promotion replay 1 + the promotion replay 2 + the lower replay, the replay GR 5 is the normal replay + the promotion replay 2, and the replay GR 6 is the normal replay + the promotion replay 2 + the lower replay.

  Replay GR11 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 2, Replay GR12 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay, Replay GR 13 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 and Replay GR 14 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Normal Replay, Replay GR 15 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2, and Replay GR 16 is Fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay.

  Replay GR21 is Fall Replay + Special Replay, Replay GR 22 is Fall Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay, Replay GR 23 is Fall Replay + Special Replay + Lower Replay, Replay GR 24 is Fall Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay, and Replay GR 25 means Fall Replay + Special Replay + Promotion Replay 1.

  Replay GR31 is Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay, Replay GR 32 is Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Fall Replay, Replay GR 33 is Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay, Replay GR 34 The special replay + SP replay + lower replay + falling replay, the replay GR 35 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR 36 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay + It is a fall fall replay.

  Replays GR 1 to 6, replays GR 11 to 16, replays GR 21 to 25, and replays GR 31 to 36 are also collectively referred to as a pushing order rep.

  Normal · RT0 to RT4 etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherries, strong cherries, middle cherries, one role, normal replay, fall replay, promotion replay, which can be won simultaneously with any of BB1 to BB4, RB1, RB2 The number of judgment values for SP replay is 1 * RT0 inside, 2 * RT0 inside, each is read separately from the bonus, strong watermelon, weak cherries, strong cherries, middle cherries, one role, normal replay, Because it is added to fall Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay, winning probability of each of strong watermelon, weak cherries, strong cherries, middle cherries, one-piece, normal replay, fall replay, promotion replay, and SP replay becomes constant. As collateralized.

[Reel control when winning RB bell 1 to 3]
In the present embodiment, according to the type of the RB bell and the stopping operation order, control is performed to align and stop a predetermined small winning combination within the pay-in line at a maximum of 4 frames on the pay line. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of winning the RB bells 1 to 3.

  When RB bell 1 (upper right bell + upper right ribebe) is won and operated at the left first stop, there is a control to stop the combination of up-to-right bells in the winning combination and stop it on the payline LN. In the case where the operation is performed at the first middle stop or the first right stop, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the upward and the downward right hand with the pay line LN.

  If RB Bell 2 (up right bell + up right Rivebe + up right Beriri) is won, and it is operated at the first stop in the middle, align the combination of up right bells in the winning combination to the pay line LN A control to stop is performed, and when operated at the left first stop, a control is performed to align and stop the combination of bevels rising to the right with the pay line LN, and when operated at the first right stop, A control is performed to align and stop the combination of upward and downward ribebees with the pay line LN.

  RB bell 3 (middle bell + lower right bell + upper upper bell 1 + upper upper bell 2 + upper upper bell 3 + upper upper bell 4 + upper upper bell 5 + upper upper bell 6 + upper upper bell 7 + upper upper bell 8 + middle middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry If the +1 sheet combination + bell on the right + bell on the right (Bevel on the right + Libe on the right) is selected and operated at the first stop on the right, align the combination of bells on the right among the winners selected to the winning line LN. Control to stop is performed, and when operated at left first stop or middle first stop, control is performed to align and stop the combination of bevels rising to the right with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper right bell, the upper right rib, and the upper right Bevel are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels. For this reason, when RB bells 1 to 4 are won, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of right rising bell, right rising libebe, and right rising Bevel must be aligned on the pay line LN and 10 combinations The medals are paid out, but the combination of "bell-bell-bell" is aligned upward to the right only at a rate of 1/3.

  Although illustration is omitted, when the bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, the combination of “bell-bell-bell” in the payline LN is performed regardless of the stop operation order and the timing of the stop operation. Control to stop is performed. Full-scale role (middle bell + right lower bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + right watermelon + upper watermelon + lower watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry +1 In the case where the winning combination of the sheet combination + the bell rising to the right and the bell rising to the right) is performed, control is performed such that the combination of "bell-bell-bell" is aligned to the right regardless of the stop operation order and the timing of the stop operation.

[Reel control when winning order Lip win]
In the present embodiment, control is performed to align and stop a predetermined replay role on the pay line within a lead-in range of up to four frames in accordance with the type of push order dip and the stop operation order that has been won. FIG. 17 is a view for explaining reel control at the time of winning in the pushing order lip.

  When Replay GR1 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is won and operated in the left middle right order, there is a control to align and stop the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the winning replay players in the winning line LN. If the operation is performed in an order other than left, middle, right or left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replay on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR2 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and operated in the left / right order, the combination of promotion Replay 1 among the winning replay players is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the operation is performed in the order other than middle, the control of normal alignment and stop of the combination of the replays is performed.

  If the replay GR3 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower stage replay) is won and operated in the middle left or right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of promotion replay 1 among the winning replay players in the winning line LN When the operation is performed in an order other than middle and left and right, control is usually performed to align and stop the combination of replays on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR 4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the middle right-left order, arrange the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the winning replay players in the winning line LN. Control to stop is performed, and when operated in an order other than the middle right, left, and left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replay on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 5 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2) is won and operated in the middle right, left, and right, a control is performed to align and stop the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the winning Replays in the winning line LN. If the operation is performed in an order other than right, left, or right, control is usually performed to align and stop the combination of replays on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the right middle left order, the combination of promotion Replay 2 among the winning replay players is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped When control is performed and the operation is performed in an order other than right, middle, left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replay on the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the elevated replay 1, the elevated replay 2 and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Therefore, regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch, reel control is performed such that promotion replay 1, promotion replay 2, or normal replay always wins according to the stop operation order.

  As described above, in each of the replays GR1 to GR6, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning the promotion replay 1 or the promotion replay 2. For this reason, if one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won in the normal RT1 in which the replays GR1 to GR6 are subject to the internal lottery, the promotion replay is won with a probability of 1/6, and the normal Move to RT0.

  When Replay GR 11 (fall Replay + Promotion Replay 2) is won and operated in the left middle right order, there is control to align and stop the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the winning replay players in the winning line LN. If the operation is performed in an order other than left, middle, right or left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall repro on the pay line LN.

  Control in which the combination of promotion Replay 2 among the winning replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped when the replay GR 12 (fall replay + promotion replay 2 + normal replay) is operated in the left / right order When the operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of falling falls replay on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 13 (fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is won and operated in the middle left and right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the winning Replays in the winning line LN. When the operation is performed in an order other than middle and left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  Control is performed to align and stop the combination of promotion Replay 1 among the winning replay players in the winning line LN when the Replay GR 14 (fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Normal Replay) is won and operated in the middle right left order When the operation is performed in an order other than the middle right, left, and left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the fall repro on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 15 (fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and operated in the middle right, left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the winning Replays is aligned with the payline LN and stopped When the control is performed and the operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 16 (fall Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and operated in the right middle left order, the combination of promotion Replay 2 among the winning replay players is aligned with the winning line LN The control to stop is performed, and when the operation is performed in the order other than the right middle, the left, the control to align the combination of the fall and fall replay on the pay line LN and to stop it is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols making up the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. For this reason, regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch, reel control is performed such that promotion replay 1, promotion replay 2, or fall replay always wins according to the order of the stop operation.

  As described above, in each of the replays GR11 to GR16, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win the promotion replay 1 or the promotion replay 2 and to avoid the fall replay. Therefore, if any one of the replays GR11 to GR16 is won in the normal RT0 for which the replay GR11 to the replay GR16 are subject to the internal lottery, the promotion replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and the regular RT0 While maintaining the, the fall replay is won with a probability of 5/6 and moves to RT1 normally.

  When Replay GR 21 (fall Replay + Special Replay) is won and operated in the left middle right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of special replays among the winning Replays in the winning line LN. When the operation is performed in an order other than left, middle, right or left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR 22 (fall Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay) is won and operated in the left / right order, there is a control to stop the combination of special replays among the winning Replay Combinations in the winning line LN and stop it. If the operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR23 (fall Replay + Special Replay + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the middle left / right order, control is made to align the special replay among the winning Replay Combinations to the winning line LN and stop it. When the operation is performed in an order other than middle and left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR 24 (fall Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the middle right-left order, stop the combination of special replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN and stop When the operation is performed in an order other than the middle right, left, and the left, the control of stopping the combination of the fall and fall replays in alignment with the pay line LN is performed.

  When Replay GR 25 (fall Replay + Special Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is won and the operation is performed in the right first stop, that is, in the operation mode for stopping the right reel 2 R first, the special replay among the won Control is performed to align and stop the combination of the pay lines LN with the pay line LN, and the left first stop, that is, the operation mode for stopping the left reel 2L for the first stop, or the middle first stop, that is, the operation mode for stopping the middle reel 2C for the first stop When the operation is performed, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Therefore, regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay always wins according to the stop operation order.

  As described above, in each of the replays GR21 to GR25, different operation modes are set as operation modes in order to win special replays and to avoid falling replays. Therefore, if one of the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 is won in the normal RT0 in which the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 are the target of the internal lottery, the special replay is won with a probability of 1/5 and the normal RT2 On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and moves to RT1 normally.

  If Replay GR 31 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay) is won and operated in the left middle right order, there is a control to stop the combination of SP Replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN and stop it. If the operation is performed in the left / right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replays among the winning replay players in the payline LN, and the operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing. A control is performed to align and stop the combination of special replays on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR 32 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Fall Replay) is won and operated in the right / left order, the combination of SP Replays among the winning Replay Combinations is aligned with the payline LN and stopped When control is performed and operated in the left middle right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN, and it is operated by middle pushing or right pushing In this case, control is performed to align and stop the combination of special replays on the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR 33 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the middle left / right order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of SP Replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN Control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN, and the operation is performed with the left first stop or the right first stop. If it is determined, control is performed to align the special replay combination with the payline LN and to stop it.

  When Replay GR 34 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay + Fall Replay) is won and operated in the middle right-left order, the combination of SP Replays among the winning replay players are aligned with the payline LN and stopped When the control is performed and the middle and left turns are operated, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN, and the left first stop or the first right is stopped. In the case of the stop operation, control is performed to align the special replay combination with the pay line LN and to stop it.

  When Replay GR 35 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and operated in the right-left middle order, the combination of SP Replays among the replayed winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and operated in the right middle left order, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN, and the left first stop or the middle left When the operation is performed with one stop, control is performed to align and stop the combination of special replays on the pay line LN.

  If Replay GR 36 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay + Fall Replay) is won, and it is operated in the right middle left order, the combination of SP Replays among the winning Replay Combinations will be made on the winning line LN. The control to align and stop is performed, and when operated in the middle right and left, the control to align and stop the combination of the normal replays among the winning replay player is performed to the pay line LN, and the left first stop is performed. Alternatively, when the first middle stop operation is performed, control is performed to align and stop the combination of special replays on the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the SP replay, the special replay and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Therefore, regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch, reel control is performed such that SP replay, special replay, or normal replay always wins according to the stop operation order.

  As described above, in each of replays GR31 to GR36, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning SP replay, and furthermore, an operation mode for winning SP replay or normal replay and avoiding special replay. Different operation modes are set as. Therefore, if any one of the replays GR31 to GR36 is won in the normal RT2 for which the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are subject to the internal lottery, the SP replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and the regular RT3 While transitioning to the normal replay or special replay win with a probability of 5/6, maintain the normal RT2.

  Furthermore, when SP replay is won, one or more advantageous navistocks are always given to the player. Therefore, if any of replays GR 31 to 36 is won in normal / RT 2, it has a probability of 1/6. The SP replay is awarded, and one or more navistocks are given, and it is easy to win the SP replay, that is, it shifts to the normal RT3 which is likely to be given the navistock. Replays GR31 to Replay GR36 are subject to internal lottery. If any of Replay GR31 to Replay GR36 wins in normal RT3, the SP Replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and one or more navistocks While being granted, the normal replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and maintains the normal RT3, and the special replay is won with the probability of 4/6 and the normal RT2 is shifted to.

[Reel control when winning bell is won]
In the present embodiment, control is performed to align and stop the predetermined small winning combination in the pay-in line within the lead-in range of up to four frames in accordance with the type of push order bell that has been won and the stop operation order. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning in the push order bell.

  If middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells among the winning combinations is won line LN Control is performed to align and stop, and when operated with the left first stop or the right first stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, the transition point, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN.

  If middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, a combination of middle bells among the winning combinations is won line LN Control is performed to align and stop, and when operated with the left first stop or right first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the transition point, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN.

  If middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1 combination) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells among the won small prizes is won Control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and when the left first stop or the right first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the disengaging point Control is performed to align and stop one of the combinations with the pay line LN. In addition, since the role of one in the middle bell 3 is a role for control to distinguish it from the other lottery target roles, it does not win.

  If middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1 combination) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells among the winning combination is won When control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and the operation is performed with the left first stop or the right first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the disengaging point Control is performed to align and stop one of the combinations with the pay line LN. In addition, since the role of one in the middle bell 4 is a role for control to distinguish it from the other lottery target roles, it does not win.

  If middle bell 5 (down-right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, a combination of right-down bells among the winning combination is won Control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and when the left first stop or the right first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, the transition point, or Control is performed to align and stop any combination of outliers with the payline LN.

  When middle bell 6 (down right bell + upper end bell 1 + upper end bell 4 + upper end bell 6 + upper end bell 7) is won, and it is operated at the middle first stop, a combination of right down bells among the winning combination is won Control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and when the left first stop or the right first stop is operated, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the transition point, or Control is performed to align and stop any combination of outliers with the payline LN.

  If the middle bell 7 (down right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1 combination) is won, and it is operated by the middle first stop, a combination of right down bells among the winning combinations Is controlled to be aligned with the pay line LN and stopped by the left first stop or the right first stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN. In addition, since the role of one in the middle bell 7 is a role for control to distinguish it from the other lottery target roles, it does not win.

  When middle bell 8 (right-down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1 combination) is won, and it is operated at middle first stop, a combination of right-down bells among the winning combinations Is controlled to be aligned with the pay line LN and stopped by the left first stop or the right first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN. In the middle bell 8, one winning combination is a control combination for distinguishing it from the other lottery target combinations, so it does not win.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the design symbols of the middle bell and the lower right bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels. For this reason, when the middle bell 1 to 4 is won, if it is operated at the middle first stop, control is always performed to align the middle bell to the pay line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and the middle bell When 5 to 8 are won, and the operation is performed at the middle first stop, control is always performed to align the right-down bell to the pay line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 have portions arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more in all the reels. For this reason, even when the middle bell 1 to 8 is won, when it is operated by the left first stop or the right first stop, at the appropriate timing, it becomes the drawing range of the upper stage bell 1 to 8 which has won. If it is not operated, the winning upper bell can not be aligned with the pay line LN. Furthermore, when the upper bell is not aligned when the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5 or middle bell 6 is won, it is controlled such that the transition appearance or the outset appearance is aligned with the pay line LN. On the other hand, when the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the middle bell 7, or the middle bell 8 is won, if the upper bells are not aligned, control is performed such that the outset eyes are aligned with the pay line LN.

  When the right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7) is selected and operated at the first right stop, a combination of middle bells among the small winning combinations is selected as a winning line LN Control is performed to align and stop, and when operated by the left first stop or middle first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, the transition point, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN.

  If the right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8) is won and operated at the first right stop, the combination of middle bells among the winning combinations is won line LN Control is performed to align and stop, and when operated with the left first stop or middle first stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, the transition point, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN.

  If the right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1 combination) is won, and the right first stop is operated, the combination of middle bells among the winning combinations is won Control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and when operated at the left first stop or middle first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, or the disengaging point Control is performed to align and stop one of the combinations with the pay line LN. In addition, since one winning combination of the right bell 3 is a control combination for distinguishing it from the other lottery target combinations, it does not win.

  If the right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1 combination) is won, and the right first stop is operated, the combination of middle bells among the winning combinations is won When control is performed to align the line LN and stop, and the left first stop or middle first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, or the disengaging point Control is performed to align and stop one of the combinations with the pay line LN. In addition, since one winning combination of the right bell 4 is a control combination for distinguishing it from the other lottery target combinations, it does not win.

  If the right bell 5 (down right bell + upper stage bell 1 + upper stage bell 3 + upper stage bell 5 + upper stage bell 7) is won, and the right first stop is operated, the combination of the down right bells among the winning combinations is won Control is performed to align and stop on the line LN, and when operated at the left first stop or middle first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, the transition edge, or Control is performed to align and stop any combination of outliers with the payline LN.

  If the right bell 6 (down right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8) is won, and the right first stop is operated, the combination of the right down bells among the winning combination is won When control is performed to align the line LN and stop, and the left first stop or the middle first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, the transition point, or Control is performed to align and stop any combination of outliers with the payline LN.

  If the right bell 7 (lower right bell + upper upper bell 1 + upper upper bell 3 + upper upper bell 5 + upper upper bell 7 + 1 combination) is selected and operated at the first right stop, a combination of lower right lower bells among the winning combinations Is controlled to be aligned with the payline LN and stopped by the left first stop or the middle first stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, or the disengagement Control is performed to align and stop any combination of eyes with the payline LN. In addition, since one winning combination of the right bell 7 is a control combination for distinguishing it from the other lottery target combinations, it does not win.

  If the right bell 8 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1 combination) is won, and it is operated by right pressing, the winning combination of the right down bells among the winning combination is won When control is performed to align the line LN and stop, and the left first stop or middle first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, or the disengaging point Control is performed to align and stop one of the combinations with the pay line LN. In addition, since one winning combination of the right bell 8 is a control combination for distinguishing it from the other lottery target combinations, it does not win.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the design symbols of the middle bell and the lower right bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels. For this reason, when the right bell 1 to 4 is won, if it is operated at the first right stop, control is always performed to align the middle bell to the pay line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and the right bell When 5 to 8 are won, and the operation is performed at the middle first stop, control is always performed to align the right-down bell to the pay line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 have portions arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more in all the reels. For this reason, even when the right bell 1 to 8 is won, when it is operated by the left first stop or the middle first stop, at the appropriate timing, it becomes the drawing range of the upper stage bell 1 to 8 which has won. If it is not operated, the winning upper bell can not be aligned with the pay line LN. Furthermore, when the right bell 1, the right bell 2, the right bell 5 or the right bell 6 is won, when the upper bell is not aligned, it is controlled such that the transition appearance or the outset is aligned with the pay line LN. On the other hand, when the right bell 3, the right bell 4, the right bell 7, or the right bell 8 is won, if the upper bells are not aligned, control is performed such that the separated eyes are aligned with the pay line LN.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the middle bell, the right bell, that is, any of the push bells is won, the middle bell is operated when operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of the winning combination. Or, while the downhill bell always wins, when operated in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 3/4, but the upper bell is aligned at 1/4. In some cases, the transition appearance or the outset appearance (depending on the winning combination, the outset appearance) may be aligned.

  Therefore, when the push order bell is won, it is possible to change the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of the winning combination. That is, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode without knowing the type thereof, so that the lower right bell or the middle bell should be won at a rate of 1/3. The medals can be won more surely, but with the ratio of 2/3, the upper bell can only be won by 3/4, and the medals can not be won reliably.

  Hereinafter, the operation procedure corresponding to each winning combination (the result of the internal lottery) is also referred to as "corresponding operation procedure", and the operation procedure different from the corresponding operation procedure is also referred to as "non-corresponding operation procedure". For example, the corresponding operation procedure of the middle bells 1 to 8 is a first stop, and the corresponding operation procedure of the right bells 1 to 8 is a first right stop. Furthermore, when winning in the push order bell, the small part derived when operated in the corresponding operation procedure is referred to as the "master character" and may be derived when operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. The minor role is called a "secondary. For example, the leading role of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is the "middle bell", and the leading role of the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8 are the "right falling bells". The side part of the middle bell 1, 3, 5, 7 is "upper side bell 2, 3, 5, 8" and the side part of the middle bell 2, 4, 6, 8 is "upper side bell 1, 4, 6, 7 The side bells of the right bells 1, 3, 5 and 7 are "upper bells 1, 3, 5, 7", and the side bells of the right bells 2, 4, 6 and 8 are "upper bells 2, 4 , 6, 8 ". In addition, since the role of one sheet is a role for control and does not win, it is not included in the side part.

  The name of the protagonist is referred to as "the leading role", and the side player is also referred to as the "supplementary role". The outcome derived when neither the protagonist nor the co-player is won is also referred to as a "dropped-out eye". For example, the dropout eyes of middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6, right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 are transition eyes and dropout eyes, middle bell 3, 4, 7, 8, right bell 3 , 4, 7 and 8 are falling eyes.

  Here, in the game in which one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won, the middle bell, which is the main part, wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, while the middle bell 5 to 5 is won. In a game in which one of the right bells 5 to 8 is won, a downhill bell, which is a leading part, is won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. For this reason, different main character wins when the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 are won and when the middle bell 5 to 8 and the right bell 5 to 8 are elected.

  Among the pushing order bells, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 where the middle bell can win as the leading role are referred to as the first pushing order bells, and the middle down bell can be won as the leading role. , The right bell 5-8 is also referred to as a second pushing order bell.

  As described above, in the game in which the pushing order bell is won, the main part is derived when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, and the main part is won when it is operated in the non-corresponding operation procedure. The side line is derived and the side part is won, or the side line is derived. Further, among the push bells, different main characters win between the game in which the first push bell is won and the game in which the second push bell is won. Specifically, in the game in which the first pushing order bell is won, the middle bell, in which the bells are aligned on the pay line LN when the game is operated in the corresponding operation procedure, wins, but in the second pushing order bell In the winning game, a downhill bell, in which the bells are aligned on the ineffective line LM3, is won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. Therefore, when operating in the corresponding operation procedure, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the middle bell and the lower right bell wins, that is, on which line the bell is aligned. It can improve the interest.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the AT lottery whether or not to give the navistock, when the first pushing order bell is won, the navistock's expected expectation value of the napping stock than when the second pushing order bell is won. Is high. For this reason, among the push bells, the game winning the first push bell has a player's advantage higher than the game winning the second push bell. Therefore, the player can be made to pay attention to which of the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell is won, and the interest of the game can be improved.

[Change in game status]
Here, the transition situation of the gaming state will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the transition to normal RT4 is made. In normal / RT4, transition is made to RT1 by stopping transition appearance, and transition is made to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of special combination won by winning the special combination.

  If the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or the right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won in the normal RT4 and the small part can not be won, the transition is stopped In order to do so, one of the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 is won in the normal / RT 4 transitioning after the end of RB or BB (RB), and the small part is won If it can not be done, it usually shifts to RT1.

  In normal RT1, the special role is not won, and the promotion replay is not won, and the prescribed game number (1000 G) is consumed, or the promotion replay moves to normal RT0 by winning, and the special role is won. Move to Internal 1 or Internal 2 depending on the type of special role won.

  Replays GR1 to 6 are won in normal RT1 and promotion replays are won when the stop order is correct, so in normal RT1 replays GR1 to 6 are won and they are shifted to normal RT0 by correct in stop order It will be done.

  In normal RT0, the fall replay is won, or the transition is stopped and the transition to normal RT1 is made, and the special replay is won, the transition is made to normal RT2, and the special part is won, so it is won. Transition to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of special role played.

  Normally, the replay GRs 11 to 16 are won in RT0, and the promotion replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won if the answer is incorrect. Also, in normal RT0, the replays GR21 to 25 are won, and the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. Normal ・ Relative roll out may stop when one of middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 is won in RT0 and the small part can not be won . Therefore, in normal RT0, replay GR21 to 25 is won, and when the stop order is correct, transition is made to normal RT2, and replay GR11 to 16 are won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, or middle bell 1 If one of 2, 5, 6 and the right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won and the small part can not be won, it will normally shift to RT1.

  Normal RT2 does not win the special part, SP Replay does not get a prize, and it is transitioned to RT0 by digesting the prescribed number of games (30 G), and it shifts to RT0, and it moves to RT3 that SP Replay wins, Depending on the type of special role won by winning a special role, transition to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Normally, replays GR 31 to 36 are won in RT 2 and SP replays are won by the correct stop order. Normal ・ One of the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 wins in RT2 and the transition outcome may stop if the small part can not be won . For this reason, in the normal RT2, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the normal RT3 is entered, and the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 are selected. If one of the prizes is won and the small winning combination can not be won, the transition to the normal RT1 will be made.

  Normal · In RT 3, Special Replay goes to RT 2 by winning a prize, and transition comes to a stop by going to Normal · RT 1, and a special part is won, depending on the type of special part won. Move to 1 or 2 inside.

  Normally, the replays GR 31 to 36 are won in RT 3 and the SP replay or the regular replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. In addition, when the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or the right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won in the normal RT3 and the small part can not be won, the transition is stopped It can. For this reason, in the normal RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so that the transition to the normal RT2 is made, and the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6, the right bell 1, 2, 5, If one of the six wins and the small winning combination can not be won, it will normally shift to RT1.

  In the insides 1 and 2, the special role that triggered the transition to the inside shifts to RB or BB (RB) by winning.

[Display result derived when the first push order bell is won or the second push order bell is hit]
The display result derived at the time of the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 shows a display result at the middle bell 1 win as an example of the first pushing order bell and a display result at the middle bell 5 winning as an example of the second pushing order bell.

  The corresponding operation procedure of the middle bell 1 is the “middle first stop” which is the same as the corresponding operation procedure of the middle bell 5, and both corresponding operation procedures are the same. The side part of the middle bell 1 is "upper bell 2, 3, 5, 8" which is the same as the side bell of the middle bell 5, and the side part (the side part) is the same. The dropout eye of the middle bell 1 is the same as the “transition dropout eye” of the dropout eye of the middle bell 5, and both dropout eyes are the same. On the other hand, while the protagonist of middle bell 1 is the “middle bell” of eight payouts, the protagonist of middle bell 5 is the “down-down bell” of the three payouts, and the protagonists of both parties (prominence eyes) are It is different.

  In other words, the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 have the same "second part", "drop out", "correspondence operation procedure", and "non-correspondence operation procedure", and the "principal appearance" and the "prominence" It can be said that “the number of medals paid out when the player has won a prize” is in a different relation (hereinafter, also referred to as “predetermined relation”). In addition, in addition to middle bell 1 and middle bell 5, “middle bell 2 and middle bell 6”, “middle bell 3 and middle bell 7”, “middle bell 4 and middle bell 8”, “right bell 1 and right bell It can be said that 5 "," right bell 2 and right bell 6 "," right bell 3 and right bell 7 ", and" right bell 4 and right bell 8 "have a predetermined relationship. In the following, “Medium Bell 1 and Medium Bell 5” will be described as an example of lottery target roles having a predetermined relationship, but with respect to other lottery target roles having a predetermined relationship (for example, Medium Bell 2 and Medium Bell 6) The explanation of the protagonist, the side part, etc. of the same is also the same as the explanation for "Medium Bell 1 and Medium Bell 5".

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the game in which the middle bell 1 is won, when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop), the leading role (middle bell) is won. When the middle bell 1 is won and operated at the non-correspondence operation procedure (left and right first stop) and at the timing to pull back the side symbol, the side combination (upper side bell 2 or upper side bell 5) (example in FIG. 19) Then, when the upper bell 2) is won and operated at the non-correspondence operation procedure and the timing at which the auxiliary role symbol can not be withdrawn, a dropout eye (not shown) is derived.

  On the other hand, in the game in which the middle bell 5 is won, when operated in the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop), the main character (down-right bell) different from the main character of the middle bell 1 wins. When the middle bell 5 is won, if it is operated in the same operation procedure as the one for which the middle bell 1 is won, the same side combination as the side combination (in the example of FIG. 19, The upper bell 2) is derived. In the game in which the bell 5 was won, if it is operated in the same operation procedure as the operation procedure in which the dropout eye is derived when the inside bell 1 is won, the dropout same as the dropout eye of the middle bell 1 is taken out An eye (not shown) is derived.

  In the present embodiment, in the game in which the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the middle bell 1 wins and the middle bell 5 wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop). Reel control is performed with reference to different stop control tables.

  Specifically, at the time of middle bell 1 winning, when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, the stop control table in which the middle bell always wins is referred to regardless of the operation timing. On the other hand, at the time of middle bell 5 winning, when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, the stop control table in which the downhill bell always wins is referred to regardless of the operation timing.

  Even if it is a game in which either the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the middle bell 1 win and the middle bell 5 are won when operated in the non-operational operation procedure (right first stop or left first stop) The reel control is executed with reference to the same stop control table as time passes. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the stop operation position is defined. For example, even if any of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 is won, the left first stop (the non-corresponding operation procedure) when the cherry of the area number 11 of the left reel 2L is positioned on the pay line LN When it is done, both sides slip by two frames and "Replay (deputy)" is led out on the pay line LN. In the present embodiment, the same display result is derived when operated in the same non-correspondence operation procedure, regardless of whichever game the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 has won (the same side effect) Or the same dropout is derived).

  Specifically, even in the case of a game in which either the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the auxiliary symbol is drawn when the first reel other than the middle reel is stopped, and the auxiliary symbol is also displayed when the second reel is stopped. Pull in. After that, for the third stop, the reel control is performed such that the accessory symbol can be retracted within a retractable range, and if the accessory symbol can not be retracted, the withdrawal symbol is retracted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, different main characters are different depending on whether the pushing order bell won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell. In order to win a prize, the player can be made to pay attention to the type of display result derived when operated in the handling operation procedure, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the game in which the winning order is won, if the leading role is not derived but the leading role is dropped, the side symbol is derived and it is determined that the second winning with a medal is paid out less than the leading role, Alternatively, the rolled-out eye is derived and the medal is not paid out. Therefore, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the player can be motivated to operate in the response operation procedure.

  Even if the game is won by either the first push order bell or the second push order bell, when it is operated in the non-operational operation procedure (when the leading role is dropped), the side effect or the dropped out shot is derived Ru. Furthermore, when the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won, when it is operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure, the same side mark or the same drop out is derived in both cases. As a result, the player can not determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell on the basis of the derived side effects and the missed appearances.

  If the player is able to determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell, based on the derived side effects and the missed appearance as a clue, it is advantageous to When the player recognizes that the leading role in winning the high first pushing order bell is missed, a sense of regret may be given to the player, and the interest of the game may be lowered. However, in the present embodiment, the player can not determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell, based on the derived side effects and the missed appearance clue. . This makes it possible to prevent the player from giving such a sense of regret to the player even if he loses the leading role in the game which is won by the first pushing order bell having a high degree of advantage, which makes the game interesting. It is possible to prevent the decrease.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, during non-AT, a common normal effect (also referred to as a normal effect) is executed even when any push order bell is won. For this reason, the player can not determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell by using the mode of the normal effect as a clue. Therefore, even in the case of losing the leading role in the game in which the first push order bell with a high degree of advantage is won, it is possible to prevent giving a sense of regret to the player, and to prevent the decline in the interest of the game. be able to.

  The same stop control table is referred to (i.e., the same number of sliding symbols) when operated in the non-operational operation procedure, even in a game in which either the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won. Control) is performed. Therefore, in the game in which either the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won, the first pushing order bell and the second push can be obtained by visually observing the number of sliding symbols even when operated in the non-corresponding operating procedure. It is impossible for the player to determine which of the forward bells is won. For this reason, it is possible to avoid giving a feeling of regret, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game. Moreover, by commonizing the stop control table used when the leading role is dropped, the processing of reel control when the leading portion is dropped can be simplified, and the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced. it can.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18, the corresponding operation procedure of middle bells 1 to 4 and the corresponding operation procedure of right bells 1 to 4 are different (the corresponding operation procedure of middle bells 1 to 4) in which the middle bell which is the leading part wins. Is the middle first stop, whereas the corresponding operation procedure of the right bells 1 to 4 is the right first stop). If the corresponding operation procedure is the same first stop in the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4, the player can stop in the middle first without having a sense of tension in order to win the leading role. This will increase the quality of the game and reduce the interest of the game. However, in the present embodiment, since the handling operation procedure differs between the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4, the player can be made to feel tense with respect to the stop operation.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18, the corresponding operation procedure of the middle bell 5-8 and the corresponding operation procedure of the right bell 5-8 are different (the middle bell 5-8 of the middle bell 5-8 in which the main part right lower bell is elected). The corresponding operation procedure is the middle first stop, whereas the corresponding operation procedure of the right bells 5 to 8 is the right first stop). If the corresponding operation procedure in the middle bell 5-8 and the right bell 5-8 is the same first stop, the player can stop the middle first without having a sense of tension in order to win the leading role. This will increase the quality of the game and reduce the interest of the game. However, in the present embodiment, since the handling operation procedure differs between the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8, it is possible to make the player feel tense to the stop operation.

[About the dropout eyes]
Here, the missing eye will be described. If you lose the leading part and the side part in the pushing order bell, you can derive the pushing order bell that can derive the transition and outset eyes, and the outset can be derived but the transition outcome can not be derived. There is a push order bell. In the following, when a leading role and a side role are dropped, a pushing order bell capable of deriving transition eyes and falling eyes is also referred to as a “transition outcome possible role”, and a leading role and a side role are dropped. A pushout bell that can be derived but can not be derived from a transition is also referred to as a "progressed component can not be derived from a transition". In the present embodiment, the transition outcome can be derived from middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and right bells 1, 2, 5, 6. Also, the transition outcome can not be derived is the middle bell 3, 4, 7, 8 and the right bell 3, 4, 7, 8.

  While the game state is shifted to RT1 by deriving the transition outcome in one of RT0, RT2, RT3 and RT4, the gaming state may change even if the out-of-line is derived. Absent. Since the medal payout rate of RT1 is lower than that of RT0, 2 and 3, RT1 is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than RT0, 2 and 3. When the transition outcome is derived in any one of RT0, 2 and 3, it is controlled to RT1, but the game state does not change even if the outset is derived (do not shift from RT0, 2 and 3 to RT1). Therefore, when the transition outcome is derived at either RT0, 2 or 3, it is more disadvantageous for the player than when the outset is derived.

  Further, when RT1 and RT4 are compared, from RT4, the medal payout rate is not controlled to be higher than RT1 or RT4 while RT0 can be controlled to be RT0,2,3. Therefore, it can be said that RT1 is a gaming state more advantageous than RT4. When a transition outcome is derived at RT4, the game state is controlled while it is controlled to RT1, but the game state does not change even if the outset is derived (do not shift from RT4 to RT1). Therefore, when the transition outcome is derived at RT4, it is more advantageous for the player than when the outset is derived. Thus, when the transition outcome is derived, depending on the gaming state, there are times when it becomes an advantageous event and an adverse event.

[Reel control process at push bell order win]
The reel control processing at the time of the winning order bell win performed by the main control section 41 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flow chart that conceptualizes the contents of the process in order to explain the reel control process when the push order bell is won. In addition, in FIG. 20, the symbol of each reel which constitutes a leading part is referred to as a "main symbol", and the symbol of each reel which constitutes a part is referred to as a "second part" and each which constitutes a missing part The symbols of the reels are referred to as "dropped out symbols", the symbols of the respective reels constituting the outset are referred to as "disappeared symbols", and the symbols of the respective reels constituting the transition projection are referred to as "transition projected symbol".

  The main control unit 41 determines whether the first stop has been made (S10). When the first control is stopped for the first time (Y in S10), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the first stop is the handling operation procedure (S20). When the first stop is the handling operation procedure (Y in S20), the main control unit 41 derives the leading symbol on the pay line LN regardless of the operation timing (S30). After that, regardless of the operation procedure (operation timing, operation order) after the second stop, the main control unit 41 derives the main character appearance on the pay line LN (S40), and ends the reel control processing. In this case, when the first pushing order bell is won, the middle bell is won, and when the second pushing order bell is won, the lower right bell wins.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 has not been operated in the response operation procedure (N in S20), the main symbol is derived on the pay line LN (S50). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the second stop has been made (S60), and when it is determined that the second stop has been made (Y in S60), the subsidiary symbol is derived on the pay line LN (S70). As described above, even when the pushing order bell is won, even if it is operated in an operation procedure different from the corresponding operation procedure, the auxiliary symbol is always derived in the first stop and the second stop.

  The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the third stop has been made (S80), and when it is determined that the third stop has been made (Y in S80), whether or not the third stop has been performed at the assistant symbol draw-in timing. It determines (S90).

  In addition, a side winning combination drawing timing is a timing which can pull in a side winning combination. For example, when the auxiliary symbol of the middle reel is "orange", the auxiliary symbol pull-in timing is a timing at which "orange" can be drawn. Specifically, since it is possible to slide in four symbols at maximum, the timing to pull in "orange" means that symbols with symbol numbers 0 to 11 and 17 to 20 are positioned on the payline LN. Is the timing at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated. When the middle reel 2C is operated at this timing, "orange" can be pulled in. On the other hand, when the symbol having a symbol number of 12 to 16 is located on the payline LN, the timing at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated is a timing different from the supplementary symbol draw-in timing, with the supplementary symbol draw-in timing Even if the middle stop switch 8C is operated at different timings, "orange" can not be drawn.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the third stop is performed at the auxiliary symbol pulling-in timing (Y in S90), the main control unit 41 derives the auxiliary symbol on the payline LN of the third stopped reel, and performs the winning The side effect is derived on the line LN (S100).

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the third stop is performed at a timing other than the auxiliary symbol pulling-in timing (N in S90), the main control unit 41 determines whether the winning push bell that has won is the transition outcome derivable combination. (S110).

  In addition, the transition outcome can be derived is a push bell that can derive both transition and appearance eyes when the leading role and the side role are dropped. In the present embodiment, the transition outcome can be derived from middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and right bells 1, 2, 5, 6.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the winning push bell that has been won is the transition outcome derivable combination (Y in S110), the main control unit 41 determines whether the third stop is operated at the transition outcome derivation timing (S115) ).

  Here, the transition outcome derivation timing is the timing at which the symbol making up the transition outcome can be pulled in.

  When the third control is performed at the transition outcome derivation timing (Y in S115), the main control unit 41 derives the transition outcome on the payline LN, while the third control is performed at a timing other than the transition outcome derivation timing When it is determined (N in S115), the winning line LN is led out to draw out the eye (S130). On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the winning push bell that has been won is not a transition outcome derivable combination (is a transition outcome derivation impossibility) (N in S110), the main control unit 41 is out on the payline LN. The eye is led out (S130).

  As described above, when the transition outcome can be derived (for example, the middle bell 1) is won, if it is not possible to win the auxiliary combination, the out-of-eye or the transition outcome is derived. On the other hand, when the transition outcome can not be derived (for example, the middle bell 3) is won, if it is not possible to win the side role, the outset is derived without the transition outcome being derived. Ru.

  Note that the process of S115 may not be performed. That is, if it is determined in S110 that the transition outcome can be derived, the transition outcome may be derived on the pay line LN in S120.

[Flow of derivation results when winning in middle bell 1 or middle bell 5]
Referring to FIGS. 21 to 24, the transition outcome can be derived, and an example of the first push order bell is the middle bell 1, or the transition outcome can be derived, and the second push order is The following describes the flow of the derivation result when the leading character is dropped in the game in which the middle bell 5 is selected as an example. 21 to 24 show the situation after the leading role is missed (that is, the process after S50 in FIG. 20).

  Referring to FIG. 21, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the right first stop, the left second stop, and the middle third stop, which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of the derivation result will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (A), when the right first stop is performed, a subsidiary symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 21 (A)) is led out onto the pay line LN on the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 21 (B), when the left second stop is performed, "Replay", which is a subsidiary character, is drawn onto the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the auxiliary symbol symbol draw-in timing, orange, which is the auxiliary symbol, is drawn into the middle reel 2C, and the auxiliary symbol (upper bell 2) is a winning Derivate on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the middle third stop is performed at a timing other than the auxiliary symbol design pull-in timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push bell that has won is the transition outcome leadable role, and the third stop shifts It is determined whether or not the operation is performed at the output derivation timing. As shown in FIG. 21C, since the pushing order bell which has been won is the middle bell 1 and the transition outcome can be derived, the transition outcome wins when the third stop is made at the transition outcome derivation timing. It is derived on the line LN, and when the third stop is performed at a timing other than the transition output derivation timing, the outset is derived on the pay line LN.

  Referring to FIG. 22, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the right first stop, the middle second stop, the left third stop which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of the derivation result will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 22A, when the right first stop is performed, a subsidiary symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 22A) is drawn out onto the payline LN on the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 22 (B), when the middle second stop is made, "Orange", which is a side symbol, is drawn onto the pay line LN. In addition, when it is stopped at the middle second at the assistant role symbol draw-in timing, the upper bell is tempered.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (D), when the left third stop is made at the auxiliary symbol symbol draw-in timing, the replay, which is the auxiliary symbol, is drawn into the left reel 2L, and the auxiliary symbol (upper row bell 2) is won Derivate on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the left third stop is performed at a timing other than the auxiliary symbol design timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push bell that has been won is a transition outcome derivable combination. As shown in FIG. 22C, since the pushing order bell that has been won is the middle bell 1 and the transition outcome can be derived, the transition outcome is displayed when the third is stopped at the transition outcome derivation timing. When it is derived on the pay line LN and is stopped at the third timing at a timing other than the transition result derivation timing, the out-of-focus number is derived on the pay line LN.

  As described above, when the transition outcome can be derived, when the leading role is missed, the outset or transition outcome is derived depending on whether or not the third stop is made at the transition outcome derivation timing.

  Referring to FIG. 23, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the left first stop, the middle second stop, and the right third stop, which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of the derivation result will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, when the first left stop is performed, the auxiliary symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 23A) is derived on the payline LN on the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 23 (B), when the second middle stop is made, "orange", which is a side symbol, is drawn onto the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (D), when the right third stop is made at the auxiliary symbol symbol draw-in timing, the BAR as the auxiliary symbol is drawn into the right reel 2R, and the auxiliary symbol (upper bell 2) is a winning Derivate on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the right third stop is performed at a timing other than the auxiliary symbol pull-in timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push bell that has been won is a transition outcome derivable combination. As shown in FIG. 23C, since the pushing order bell that has been won is the middle bell 1 and the transition outcome can be derived, the transition outcome is displayed when the third is stopped at the transition outcome derivation timing. When it is derived on the pay line LN and is stopped at the third timing at a timing other than the transition result derivation timing, the out-of-focus number is derived on the pay line LN.

  Referring to FIG. 24, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the left first stop, the right second stop, and the middle third stop, which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of the derivation result will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (A), at the time of the first left stop, an auxiliary symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 24 (A)) is led out on the pay line LN on the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (B), when the right second stop is performed, the auxiliary symbol "BAR" is drawn onto the pay line LN. As shown in FIG. 24 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the auxiliary symbol symbol draw-in timing, orange, which is the auxiliary symbol, is drawn into the middle reel 2C, and the auxiliary symbol (upper bell 2) is a winning Derivate on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the middle third stop is performed at a timing other than the auxiliary symbol design timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push bell that has been won is a transition outcome derivable combination. As shown in FIG. 24 (C), the winning order bell is the right bell 1, and the transition outcome can be derived because it is the third party that can be derived at the transition outcome derivation timing, the transition outcome wins. It is derived on the line LN, and when the third stop is performed at a timing other than the transition output derivation timing, the outset is derived on the pay line LN.

  As described above, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 that is the transition outcome can be derived among the pushing order bells is won, the leading role appearance is derived by being operated by an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. Even when it is not possible, when the third stop is at the timing of the assistant symbol pull-in timing, it is possible to bring out the assistant role. When the third stop is a timing other than the auxiliary symbol pull-in timing and is operated at the transition output derivation timing, the transition output is derived, and the third stop is a timing other than the auxiliary symbol pull-in timing, When the operation is performed at a timing other than the transition outcome derivation timing, the outset eye is derived. Therefore, even if the leading role is dropped and the side role is dropped, the transition outcome is not necessarily derived, but there are times when the transition outcome is derived and when the outset is derived. , You can improve the interest of the game.

  In FIGS. 21 to 24, even when the middle bell 1 is won or when the middle bell 5 is won, when the same non-correspondence operation procedure is operated, the same side line, transition point, or deviation occurs. Since the outcome is derived, it is not determined by the player which of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 is won.

[Flow of derivation results when winning in middle bell 3 or middle bell 7]
A transition outcome can not be derived and the middle bell 3, which is an example of the first push order bell, or a transition outcome can not be derived, and the middle bell 7 which is an example of the second push order bell is elected The flow of the derivation result when the leading role is missed in the played game will be described (not shown). The middle bell 3 and the middle bell 7 are in a predetermined relationship.

  When the transition outcome can not be derived, when the leading role and the side role are dropped, the transition outcome is not derived, and the outset is derived on the payline LN. For example, unlike the example of (C) in FIG. 21 to FIG. 24, the out-of-round eye is derived without the out-of-phase eye being derived. That is, when the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 is won, the missing eye is derived.

  As described above, when the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 which is the part that can not lead the transition outcome is won, even when the leading role is dropped, the third stop is taken at the timing of the second winning combination, Can be derived. Furthermore, when the timing of the third stop is a timing other than the auxiliary symbol design pull-in timing, the out-of-round number is derived on the pay line LN without deriving the shift number.

  In FIGS. 21 to 24, although the flow of the derivation result of “when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won” or “when middle bell 3 or middle bell 7 is elected” has been described, other transition appearances have been made. The same reel control as when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won is performed even when the second leadable role is won, and middle other bell 3 or middle bell 7 is obtained when the other transition outcome non-leading hand is selected. The same reel control as when the player is won is performed.

  As described above, when the player is elected in the push order bell, when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure according to the winning combination, the main character such as the middle bell or the lower right bell wins, but the operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. When it is operated, the upper part bell such as an auxiliary character wins, or a medal is not paid out, and a missed shot is derived. As a result, the player can be motivated to operate in the response operation procedure, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the first pushing order bell is won, the middle bell wins as the leading role when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, but when the second pushing order bell is won, the operation is performed in the corresponding operation procedure As the main character, the down right bell, which has a lower expectation value for the navigation stock than the middle bell, wins. In this way, when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure, the main character with different degrees of advantage wins depending on whether the winning order bell is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell. The player can be made to pay attention to the type of protagonist who wins when operated in the response operation procedure.

  When the winning order push bell is the transition outcome leadable part, even if the secondary role is not won (even if the secondary role is dropped), the transition outcome is not necessarily derived, There are times when a transition outcome is derived and when a transition outcome with a different degree of advantage is derived from when the transition outcome is derived. For example, even if the transition outcome retrievable part is won when being controlled to RT0, 2, 3 and the player loses the leading role and the side role, the transition outcome which is always disadvantageous for the player (RT0 An outcome controlled by RT1 which is worse than 2, 3 or 4 is not always derived, and there is a possibility that an outlying appearance where the gaming state does not change (the gaming state is maintained) may be derived. As a result, when the transition outcome leadable part is won during the control of RT0, 2, 3 even if the second part is missed, the game state is prevented from being controlled to a disadvantageous state (that is, RT1). Can. Thus, it is possible to give the player a meaning of revival of the loser, and to improve the interest of the game.

  When the player is won in the push order bell, the player can win the main role when the player operates in the response operation procedure, but can not win the main role when operated in the non-operation operation procedure. However, even if the player can not win the main character, it is possible to win the second character when the player operates with the non-supporting operation procedure at the timing of pulling in the second symbol and at the non-correspondence operation procedure. Thus, it is possible to give the player a meaning of revival of the loser, and to improve the interest of the game.

  When controlled to RT4, the transition outcome retrievable role is won, and even if the player loses the leading role and the auxiliary role, a transition outcome that is advantageous to the player (RT1 more advantageous than RT4) There is a possibility that the outcome will not be derived, and that the game state will not change (the control of RT4 is maintained). Therefore, when the transition outcome leadable part is won during the control of the RT4, even if the second party is dropped, it is not always controlled by the RT1, so the player is asked to the exit outcome which is derived A sense of tension can be given, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In other words, even if the transition outcome can be taken out, even if the leading role and the side role are dropped, the advantage is different when the transition outcome is derived and when the transition outcome is derived. Since there are times when the eyes are derived, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  In the winning combination (push flag) of the push bell, there are a transition outcome derivable role and a transition outcome impossible role. Therefore, even when a sideline player is dropped, there is a winning combination from which a transition outcome or an outset is derived, and a winning combination from which a transition outcome is not derived but a derived outcome is derived. Can be improved.

  As shown in S70 and S90 of FIG. 20, depending on whether the third stop was performed at the supplementary symbol draw-in timing or at the timing other than the supplementary symbol draw-in timing after dropping the leading character winning combination, One of the side effects, the transition appearance, and the out appearance is derived. Therefore, even after losing the leading role, the player can be held with a sense of expectation for the outcome to be derived, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  The out-of-order appearance is a appearance that does not cause any of the bonus, the replay, and the small winning combination, and is the appearance other than the transition appearance. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine that the transition outcome has not been derived, even if the leading role and the auxiliary role have been dropped and the transition outcome has not been derived, and the interest of the game is improved. It can be done.

[Recommended operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, a recommended operation procedure recommended for the player is provided. The recommended operation procedure is the order of stopping the three reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and means the pushing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R recommended for the player.

  As a recommended operation procedure in the non-AT game, forward push (left, middle, right operation procedure) is set. A corresponding operation procedure is set as a recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is performed during AT. As a recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navi effect was not performed during AT, the forward press is set.

  When operated in the non-recommended operation procedure which is a procedure different from the recommended operation procedure, the player is controlled to a penalty period which is disadvantageous. If it is controlled during the penalty period, the AT lottery whether or not to give the navigation stock is not performed even if the AT lottery condition is satisfied. For this reason, if it is controlled during the penalty period, it becomes difficult to be controlled by the AT that is advantageous for the player. For this reason, the player operates in the recommended operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, no forward push is provided in the corresponding operation procedure for winning the main character for any push order bell. For this reason, when the player wins the bell in the non-AT game and is operated by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure, not the prominence but the cop or dropout is always derived. For this reason, during non-AT, when either the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, the same side effect or the same drop out is displayed as long as the recommended operation procedure is operated. Be sure to derive it.

  For example, when the middle bell 1 is won in the non-AT game, if it is operated by the forward operation which is the recommended operation procedure, which of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, and the upper bell 8 wins? Or a dropout comes out. Similarly, when the middle bell 5 is won in a non-AT game, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the upper bell 8 may be operated when it is operated by the forward push which is a recommended operation procedure. You will either win a prize or you will get an eye out.

  Therefore, during non-AT, as long as the recommended operation procedure is performed, the player is not made to recognize whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell. For this reason, even in the case of losing the protagonist with a high expected value of giving the navistock in the game won by the first pushing order bell, it is possible to prevent giving a sense of regret to the player and it is possible to enjoy the game. Can be prevented.

[AT lottery]
The sub control unit 91 performs an AT lottery process to perform an AT lottery whether to control the AT. In the AT lottery process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and executes the AT lottery when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. In the AT lottery, whether or not to give the number of navistocks, and the number of navistocks to be given are determined.

  In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a lottery for determining whether or not to give navistock and a lottery for determining the number of navistocks to be granted (degree of advantage) are performed in one lottery. Not limited to this, for example, the first lottery for determining whether or not to give navistock first, and the second for determining the number of navistocks to be granted when it is determined to give navistock by the first lottery For example, a lottery may be configured by two lotterys.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery. During the non-AT, the AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG. 25 (a). During AT, an AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG. At the end of BB, an AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), during non-AT, an AT lottery is performed when any of weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, and SP replay is won, or when freeze occurs.

  Expected value of navistock given in one AT lottery when each condition is satisfied during non-AT is 0.05 when weak cherry is selected, 0.42 when strong cherry is selected, when middle cherry is selected And SP replay wins at 1.4 and freeze occurs at 0.5.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (b), during AT, as in the non-AT, when the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the middle cherry, and the SP replay are won, or when the freeze occurs, the AT is performed. A lottery will be held. In addition to these, during the AT, they won the first pushing order bell (middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4) and the second pushing order bell (middle bell 5-8, right bell 5-8) At the same time, the AT lottery will be held.

  Expected value of navistock given in one AT lottery when each condition is satisfied during AT is 0.42 at weak cherry winning, 1.4 at strong cherry winning, at middle cherry winning and The SP replay win is 2.2 and the freeze is 1.0.

  As described above, in AT and non-AT, the AT lottery is performed when any of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the middle cherry, and the SP replay is won, or when the freeze occurs. At that time, the expected value of giving nabistock is higher during AT than during non-AT. In addition, since the AT lottery is also performed during the AT when the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won, the AT drawing execution frequency is higher than that during the non-AT. For this reason, during AT, in addition to the navigation effect being executed, the AT lottery is also more advantageous than during non-AT.

  Here, during AT, when the first pushing order bell is won, the expected value of giving navistock is 1.5, whereas when the second pushing order bell is won, the expected value of giving navistock is It is 0.7. As described above, when the first pushing order bell is won, the expected value of the provision of the navistock is higher than when the second pushing order bell is won, and for the player, the second pushing order bell is selected. It is more advantageous to win the first push order bell. Therefore, in the game in which either the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won, the player can be made to pay attention to which main character wins, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 25C, at the end of BB, an AT lottery is performed when BB1 to BB3 are won and when BB4 is won. The expected value of navistock given in one AT lottery is 0.45 when BB1 to BB3 is won, and 3.0 when BB4 is won.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub control unit 91 whether or not the lottery conditions are satisfied, and when the lottery conditions are satisfied, the AT lottery is performed.

[AT management processing]
When one or more navigation stock numbers are determined in the AT lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating that it is AT and the navigation stock number in a predetermined area of the RAM 91 c. The sub control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to the AT based on the AT flag of the RAM 91 c, and specifies the remaining number of navistocks. When the AT flag indicating that it is AT is set, one navigation stock number is consumed and can be controlled to AT.

  When the AT flag indicating AT is set and the navistock number is acquired, the navistock number specified this time is added to the navistock number specified from the AT flag.

  For example, when an AT flag indicating that it is an AT is set, if an AT lottery is performed, the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery is updated. To update to the AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery, for example, the navigation stock number specified according to the AT flag stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c is added to the navigation stock number according to the result of the current AT lottery It may be to rewrite the AT flag specifying the number of navi stock, and any method may be used as long as the current AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery can be specified.

  The sub control unit 91 performs the AT management process included in the AT control process when it is the normal RT 1 to 4 to control the AT based on the AT flag set according to the result of the AT lottery. to manage.

  Specifically, when it is specified from the AT flag that the AT flag is normal, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT. That is, when navigation stock remains, control of AT is started. In the period from the normal RT1 to the normal RT0, the navigation stock can be performed under control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navistocks.

  When it is controlled by AT, and when it is controlled to be normal RT0 by winning the promotion replay in normal RT1, or when a predetermined number of games have passed in normal RT0 or normal RT2, the navistock number is increased. The start condition to AT by 1 consumption (subtraction) is satisfied. In this case, the AT is controlled in the high RT state (RT0, RT2, RT3) in which the probability of winning the replay player is high until the navi effect of the predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is executed. Be done. The high RT state and the state controlled by the AT are also referred to as an ART state. When one navistock number is consumed, the AT flag indicating the navistock number decremented by 1 is updated.

  The sub control unit 91 performs an AT management process to control the non-AT when the number of remaining games is 0 when it is ART. At this time, if the navi stock number indicated by the AT flag is 0, the AT flag indicating that it is not an AT is updated. That is, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag when controlling from AT to non-AT is navistock number 0.

  When it is specified from the AT flag when it is controlled to be non-AT, it is not controlled by AT again, and the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when RT0 is normal, the possibility of falling down replay and transition appearance increases, and the possibility of being controlled to normal RT1 increases. Also, when RT2 is normal, the possibility that the transition points are aligned increases, and the possibility of being controlled by RT1 increases.

  On the other hand, if the number of navi stock specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, navi stock number is consumed by 1 when the target part of navi production is won, navi production for 50 games Will be controlled by AT until Then, the navigation stock number is also 0, and the navigation number is also 0, whereby the AT ends.

  When the sub control unit 91 performs the AT management processing and the AT flag is identified as the AT flag, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect by winning the navigation object combination according to the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the navigation target combination is a push order bell and a push order lip. For example, as the navigation effect when any of the pushing order bells is won, a corresponding operation procedure for reliably winning the right falling bell and the middle bell is informed.

  Furthermore, by executing the navi effect, it is possible to avoid a promotion replay winning which is intentionally won, a special replay winning combination, an SP replay winning combination, a bell winning combination, and a fall replay winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, in the case of being controlled to RT4 and acquiring the navigation stock, the navigation effect is executed when the selected navigation target role is the transition outcome-impossible role, and the selected navigation target role is performed. The navigation effect is not executed when the transition outcome is a combination that can be derived.

  In general, when the transition outcome derivable combination is won, when the navigation effect is not performed, the probability of winning the main winning combination is 1/6, so it is difficult to win the main winning combination. Temporarily, when the navigation object combination that has been won is a transition outcome derivable combination, if performing the navigation effect to win the leading role, the main role wins by being operated by the operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. In this case, since the transition outcome is not derived, it is not controlled from RT4 to RT1 forever. If it is not controlled by RT1, it is not controlled by RT0, 2, 3 either, which is disadvantageous for the player.

  In view of the above, in the present embodiment, in the case of being controlled to RT4 and acquiring the navigation stock, the navigation effect is not executed even if the transition outcome can be derived combination is won. This makes it possible for the player to drop out the leading role and the auxiliary role, and also to make the transition value to be derived and to shift to RT1, thereby preventing the player from being disadvantaged.

  On the other hand, when it is controlled by RT4 and the navigation stock has been acquired, when the part that can not lead the transition outcome is won, it is possible that the transition outcome is derived regardless of whether or not the leading role is won. Absent. That is, in the game in which the transition outcome can not be derived, the game is not shifted to RT1. For this reason, when it is controlled to RT4 and the navi stock has been acquired, when the transition outcome-impossible-impaired role is won, the player is made to win the leading role by executing the navi effect, and Improve interest.

  As described above, when the transition outcome can be derived while the navigation stock is obtained by being controlled by RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired, the transition outcome is derived without executing the navigation effect, while the transition outcome is not derived. When the possible role is won, the navigation effect is executed to win the leading role. As a result, when the transition outcome deriveable combination is won, the player is not disadvantaged that the transition from RT4 to RT1 is not made, and when the transition outcome derivation impossible combination wins, The protagonist can be awarded to improve the interest of the game.

[Change of AT signal output mode and freeze execution probability according to AT control]
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT only for the number of sets according to the given number of navigation stock. For example, when one navistock is awarded in the AT lottery, one set of 50 games is controlled to one AT, and when three navistocks are assigned, one set of 50 games AT is controlled. The main control unit 41 can not directly recognize that the sub control unit 91 has made control to the AT by signal reception or the like. For this reason, the main control unit 41 provides a determination combination for recognizing the presence or absence of control of the AT, and when the determination combination is won, the determination combination combination command capable of specifying the type of the determination combination is It is transmitted to the control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination combination winning command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the pressing order for prompting a predetermined operation according to whether or not the AT is in progress. The main control unit 41 recognizes the presence or absence of control of the AT based on the type of the winning determination combination and the pressing order operated by the player, and changes the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability accordingly.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 26, the change of the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 26 shows that at first, in the non-ART state (for example, the state of RT1 and non-AT where the probability of winning a replay player is low), nabi stock is given 1 and controlled by the AT and the AT lottery executed during the AT. The navistock is given 1 and is continuously controlled to the second set AT, and the navistock is given 1 in the AT lottery executed during the second set AT and continues to the third set AT. Shows an example of control.

  During AT, when the winning order is won, the sub control unit 91 notifies of an operation procedure for transitioning to an advantageous gaming state. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, after being controlled by the AT at the timing t1, any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won until the timing t2 when the first set of AT starts. At this time, an operation procedure for winning the promotion replay is notified by the sub control unit 91. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the promotion replay is won, and the gaming state shifts from RT1 to RT0. Thereafter, during the first set of ATs, one of the replays GR11 to GR16 is won. At this time, an operation procedure for winning special replay is notified by the sub control unit 91. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the special replay wins, and the gaming state shifts from RT0 to RT2. After that, one of the replays GR21 to 25 is won. At this time, an operation procedure for winning an SP replay is notified by the sub control unit 91. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the SP replay is won, and the gaming state shifts from RT2 to RT3. Thus, when controlled by the AT, the gaming state shifts to the high RT state by the navigation effect executed by the sub control unit 91, and becomes the ART state.

  Changes in the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability will be described for each timing with reference to FIG. First, when navistock is given in a non-ART state, the sub control unit 91 controls to AT from timing t1. If it is controlled by AT, it will shift to the high RT state by the navigation effect when winning in the push order Lip.

  At this point in time, the main control unit 41 can not recognize that the control is performed by the AT, and therefore does not output the AT signal to the outside. When in the high RT state and the AT signal is not output, the push order bell is set as the judgment use. When the winning order bell is won at timing t2, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub-control unit 91 a determining winning combination command that can specify that the pushing order bell has been won. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination combination winning command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies of a corresponding operation procedure for winning a leading role. If the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the leading role is won.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18, as long as it is operated by the forward press which is the recommended operation procedure during non-AT, the main character does not win when the win order bell is won. For this reason, when the main character wins, the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT is controlled, and externally outputs an AT signal that can specify that the AT is being performed. As a result, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, the first lamp is turned on and the player is notified that the first set of ATs are controlled. Furthermore, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the low probability to the high probability.

  Thereafter, when the navigation stock is added by the AT lottery executed during the first set AT, the sub-control unit 91 continues to the second set AT at timing t3 after the first set AT ends. To control.

  At this point in time, the main control unit 41 has not yet recognized that the first set of ATs has ended, so the AT signal output at timing t2 remains output to the outside. When in the high RT state and when the AT signal is output, push order bell and normal replay are set as the judgment use. When the normal replay which is the determination combination is won at timing t4, the main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub control unit 91, the determination combination winning command capable of specifying that the normal replay is won. In order to make the main control unit 41 recognize that the first set of ATs has ended, the sub-control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure other than forward pressing when receiving the determination combination winning command. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the normal replay is won.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure other than the forward push when the normal replay is won, only when the AT is temporarily stopped and the next AT is continuously controlled. For this reason, the main control unit 41 recognizes that the first set of AT has ended when an operation other than the forward press is performed when the normal replay is won and the normal replay is won, and the external output of the AT signal is output. Once stopped, an AT continuation signal that can specify that the AT continues is externally output only for a predetermined period. As a result, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, the first lamp blinks and the player is notified that the first set of AT has ended. Furthermore, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the high probability to the low probability.

  After that, when the winning order bell is won at timing t5 in the high RT state and the AT signal is not output, the main control unit 41 determines that the winning order bell can be identified. The utility winning command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination combination winning command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies of a corresponding operation procedure for winning a leading role. If the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the leading role is won. When the main character wins, the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT is controlled, and externally outputs an AT signal that can identify that the AT is being performed. As a result, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, the first lamp is turned off and the second lamp is turned on, and the control is continued to the second set of AT. The player is informed. Furthermore, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the low probability to the high probability.

  In this way, when controlling to the next set of AT continuously, by temporarily stopping the AT signal, an effect on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, notification of continuing to the next set of AT) According to the above, the lighting mode of the lamp in the external device can be changed (for example, the second lamp is turned on). For this reason, since the effect on the screen continuing to the second set AT does not match the notification by the lamp in the external device, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the player is confused. In addition, the player can be made to accurately recognize the number of sets of ATs.

  The subsequent timings t6, t7 and t8 change the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability similarly to the timings t3, t4 and t5, respectively.

  At timing t9, the third AT ends with the completion of 50 games. This ends ART.

  At this point in time, the main control unit 41 can not recognize that AT has ended, so the AT signal output at timing t8 remains output to the outside. If the main control unit 41 is in the high RT state and wins the push order bell which is the judgment use at timing t9 or later at which the AT signal is output, the main control unit 41 can identify that the push order bell is won. The combination winning command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. Since the AT has already ended, the sub control unit 91 can not execute the navigation effect, and does not notify any operation procedure. As a result, the player operates with the forward push, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, and loses the protagonist (that is, the side player wins, the transition outcome derives, or the loss) Become). In the case of the example shown in FIG. 26, when the first push bell is won after timing t9, the side jack is operated by the forward press and the side winning is won, and when the second push bell is won at timing t10 The push operation is performed, the transition outcome is derived, and the gaming state shifts from RT3 to RT1.

  When the main control unit 41 wins the pushing order bell and misses the main winning combination twice in a row, it recognizes that the AT has ended, and stops the external output of the AT signal. As a result, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, all the lamps are turned off, and the player is notified that the AT has ended. Furthermore, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the high probability to the low probability.

[AT signal output processing, AT signal stop processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, specific control performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with respect to the change of the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability shown in FIG.

  Control executed by the main control unit 41 when outputting an AT signal will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current gaming state is the high RT state (RT0, RT2, or RT3) (Sa1). When the main control unit 41 determines that the high RT state is not set (N in Sa1), the main control unit 41 ends the AT signal output process.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that it is in the high RT state (Y in Sa1), it determines whether the signal output flag indicating that the AT signal is being output is set (Sa2). When the main control unit 41 determines that the signal output flag is set (Y in Sa2), the AT signal output process ends.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the signal output flag is not set (N in Sa2), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is a winning combination bell which is a determination combination (Sa3). When the main control unit 41 determines that the judgment combination has not been won (N in Sa3), the AT signal output process is ended.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the winning combination has been won (Y in Sa3), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the leading role has been won by the corresponding operation procedure (Sa4). Here, when the sub control unit 91 is in the AT state when winning in the push order bell, the sub control unit 91 notifies the player of the corresponding operation procedure for winning the main character. Therefore, when the player operates according to the notified procedure, the leading role is won. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not notify any procedure if it is in the non-AT state when winning in the push order bell. For this reason, as long as the player operates in the non-AT recommended operation procedure, which is the forward operation, the leading role is dropped.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the main character has not won the prize (N in Sa4), it recognizes that it is in the non-AT state, and ends the AT signal output processing.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the main character wins (Y in Sa4), it recognizes that it is in the AT state, and outputs an AT signal (Sa5). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the low probability to the high probability (Sa6), sets the signal output flag (Sa7), and ends the AT signal output processing.

  Next, control performed by the main control unit 41 when stopping the AT signal will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current gaming state is the high RT state (RT0, RT2, or RT3) (Sb1). When the main control unit 41 determines that the state is not the high RT state (N in Sb1), the AT signal stop processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that it is in the high RT state (Y in Sb1), it determines whether the signal output flag indicating that the AT signal is being output is set (Sb2). When the main control unit 41 determines that the signal output flag is not set (N in Sb2), the AT signal stop processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the signal output flag is set (Y in Sb2), it determines whether or not the game is a winning combination bell or normal replay, which is a determination combination ( Sb3). When the main control unit 41 determines that the judgment combination has not been won (N in Sb3), the AT signal output processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the determination combination is won (Y in Sb3), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is a winning combination bell as a determination combination (Sb4). When the main control unit 41 determines that the push bell has not been won, that is, determines that the normal replay has been won as the determination use (N in Sb 4), the main control unit 41 determines whether the normal replay is won by other than forward pressing. (Sb5).

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the normal replay is not winning except for the forward press (N in Sb5), it recognizes that the AT of the set currently being controlled has not ended yet, and stops the AT signal stop processing. finish.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the normal replay is won by other than the forward press (Y in S b 5), the AT of the currently controlled set ends and continues to the next set of ATs. It recognizes that it controls and it stops the output of AT signal, and outputs AT continuation signal outside (Sb6). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the high probability to the low probability (S b 7), clears the signal output flag (S b 8), and ends the AT signal stop processing.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the winning order bell has been won in Sb4 (Y in Sb4), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the leading role is missed in the recommended operation procedure (Sb9). Here, when the sub control unit 91 is in the AT state when winning in the push order bell, the sub control unit 91 notifies the player of the corresponding operation procedure for winning the main character. Therefore, when the player operates according to the notified procedure, the leading role is won. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not notify any procedure if it is in the non-AT state when winning in the push order bell. For this reason, in order for the player to operate by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure, the leading role is dropped.

When the main control unit 41 determines that the leading role has been dropped by forward pressing (Y in S b 9), the main control portion 41 adds 1 to the AT signal stop counter for counting that the leading role has been dropped (Sb10). After that, the main control unit 41 determines whether the value of the AT signal stop counter has reached 2 (Sb11). When the main control unit 41 determines that the value of the AT signal stop counter has not yet reached 2 (N in S b 11), the AT signal stop processing is ended.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the value of the AT signal stop counter has reached 2 (Y in S b 11), it recognizes that AT has ended, and stops the output of the AT signal (Sb12). After that, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the high probability to the low probability (S b 13) and clears the signal output flag (S b 14).

In addition, when the main control unit 41 determines that the leading role has not been dropped by the sequential pressing, that is, when it is determined that the leading role has won in the corresponding operation procedure (N in S b 9) or after Sb 14, The value is cleared (Sb15), and the AT signal stop processing is ended.

  As described above, the first pushing order bell (middle bell 1 to 4, right bells 1 to 4) that the middle bell can win as the leading role, and the second pushing order bell (middle Even when the player wins any of 5 to 8 and the right bell 5 to 8), when the player is operated by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure during non-AT, the protagonist will be missed, and the side character wins Or the transition result is derived or lost. Further, by commonizing the stop control table used when the leading role is dropped, the processing of reel control when the leading portion is dropped can be simplified, and the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced. it can. Furthermore, the value of the AT signal stop counter is updated when the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell is won, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, even when the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell are won. Becomes 2 and the freeze execution probability changes from high probability to low probability as the AT signal stops. Therefore, as a trigger for the change of the output mode of the AT signal and the change of the freeze execution probability, it is possible to utilize that it is operated by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure during non-AT and the leading role is missed.

  It is based on the value of the AT signal stop counter updated when it is operated by the forward push which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, even when the first push order bell and the second push order bell are won. Since the probability of freeze execution changes, it is possible to make the player think that the probability of freeze execution changes from high probability to low probability when the leading role is missed. Thereby, the player can enjoy the thrilling game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  It is based on the value of the AT signal stop counter updated when it is operated by the forward push which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, even when the first push order bell and the second push order bell are won. Since the output mode of the AT signal changes, the end of the AT can be recognized from the outside, and the player can be reminded that the AT will end when the leading role is missed. Thereby, the player can enjoy the thrilling game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, at the time of temporary stop of the AT signal when continuing control to the next AT, the trigger for winning the normal replay other than the sequential pressing when winning the normal replay is used, and the AT for completely ending the AT At the time of stopping the signal, when the winning order bell is won, an opportunity when the leading role is missed by the forward pressing which is a recommended operation procedure is used. As described above, as a trigger for changing the output mode of the AT signal, the trigger for winning the normal replay other than the forward push when the normal replay is won, and the recommended push for the recommended operation procedure when the push bell is won. Since there is an opportunity when the leading role is missed, it is possible to change the output mode of the AT signal at either of the two occasions according to the design content of the gaming machine.

  Furthermore, when the AT signal is temporarily stopped when controlling to the next AT, the normal increase in the number does not change since the normal replay is won, and the high RT state is maintained. On the other hand, at the time of stopping the AT signal when the AT is completely finished, the net increase in number is reduced to miss the winning combination of the leading role, and the high RT state is ended if the transition outcome is derived. That is, the pause of the AT signal when continuously controlling to the next AT is a more advantageous trigger for the player than the stop of the AT signal when completely terminating the AT. For this reason, it is possible to avoid putting the player in an adverse situation although the navistock still remains and is continuously controlled by the next AT.

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although the main embodiment in this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About the game state]
As shown in FIG. 9, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has RT0 to RT4 and inside 1, 2 and 3 bonus states as gaming states. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two RT states may be provided. FIG. 29 shows the transition of the gaming state in the slot machine 1 having two RT states and CB states. The transition of the gaming state in the modification will be described with reference to FIG.

  The RT1 is a state in which a game can be progressed and a medal payout rate based on a predetermined design value is secured. For example, in RT1, the payout rates of medals are set to be 98%, 100%, 102%, 104%, 106%, and 108% for the set values 1 to 6, respectively. Note that, in the slot machine 1 of the present modification, the RT1 is also referred to as the “appropriate state” because the player is made to play the game while most of the games are controlled to the RT1.

  RT0, like RT1, is a state in which the game can proceed and a medal payout rate based on a predetermined design value is secured, but up to the medal payout rate at RT1 Not secured. For example, in RT0, the payout rates of medals are set to be 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, and 98% for the set values 1 to 6, respectively. As described above, in the present modification, RT1 is set so that the payout rate of the medal is higher than RT0 at any setting value. In addition, since RT0 is a state different from RT1 and is not a state controlled by most games like RT1 (appropriate state), it is also referred to as "inappropriate state".

  CB (challenge bonus) is a state in which a CB game is performed. The CB game is a game in which all small winning combinations are won, and is a game played until a predetermined ending condition is established. The predetermined end condition is, for example, a condition that is satisfied by the payout of a predetermined number of medals during the CB game, or a condition that is satisfied by the CB game being digested by a predetermined game. In the CB game, the payout rate of medals is 100% regardless of the setting values 1 to 6. That is, in the CB in the present modification, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets is the same as the number of medals paid out, and the net increase in the CB does not change. The CB is also referred to as a "special game state".

  In RT0, the probability of winning a CB is, for example, 1/10. When the player wins the CB at RT0 and can not win the CB, the gaming state shifts from RT0 to RT1. Thereafter, in RT1, the CB win is carried over in the next game and thereafter.

  When winning in the winning CB in RT1, the gaming state shifts from RT1 to CB. In RT1, it is possible to win a CB only when none of the winning combinations in RT1 is won. Here, the probability of not winning any of the winning combinations of RT1 is, for example, a very small value such as 1 / 65,536, for example, and in RT1, it is rarely possible to win a CB.

  When a predetermined ending condition is satisfied in CB and the execution of the CB game is ended, the gaming state shifts from CB to RT0.

  When the reset switch 23 is operated by the store clerk in RT1 or CB and the RAM is cleared, the gaming state shifts to RT0. When the RAM is cleared at RT0, the gaming state is maintained at RT0.

  The slot machine 1 of the present modification is to make a player play most games at RT1. On the other hand, in RT0 and CB, players are seldom made to play games. Specifically, the store clerk may clear the RAM before the game arcade is opened in order to erase the game information etc. of the previous day. Therefore, in the slot machine 1 before the opening of the store, the gaming state is controlled to RT0 immediately after the RAM is cleared. Therefore, the store clerk plays the game a plurality of times until the player wins the CB in order to shift from RT0 to RT1. After that, when the CB is won and controlled to RT1, the gaming shop is opened in that state, and the player is made to play. This allows the player to play most games at RT1. In addition, although it shifts to CB by having won a prize in RT1 and shifts to RT0 after completion of the CB, such a situation is extremely rare.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present modification has novel playability because it allows the player to play the game in a state in which most of the games are carried over by the winning of CB (that is, RT1). The game does not have the playability to advance the game advantageously by improving the winning probability of the replay role in accordance with.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present modification, since most of the games are progressed in one gaming state of RT1, the transition of the gaming state is frequently performed and the winning probability of the replay role is Although giving the difference in height does not change the degree of advantage among players, it is very important for the player to be controlled by the AT. That is, in the slot machine 1 in which the winning probability of the replay player does not change according to the gaming state, the game is advantageously advanced by making the main character such as middle bell win a prize by navi effect in AT and increasing the net number of medals. Is an important factor to separate the outcome.

  In the present modification, the sub-control unit 91 is a state command that specifies that the state of the next game is RT0 or an operation detection command that specifies that the operation of the reset switch 23 has been detected. When it receives from 41, it specifies that the state of the next game is RT0.

  In this modified example, when the player wins the CB in RT0 and the gaming state shifts to RT1, the suggestion effect that suggests the transition of the gaming state is executed. In the present modification, a voice indicating that the player has won the CB (for example, a special voice that is not usually output when the game is progressing in RT1) is output from the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 blinks. Suggestive staging is performed. Thus, the store clerk or the like can easily determine the transition of the gaming state from RT0 to RT1.

  In the slot machine 1 of such a modified example, the AT lottery is not performed at RT0, and the AT lottery is not performed at RT1. Therefore, in RT0, it is not controlled by AT, and in RT1, it is controlled by AT.

  If the AT lottery is made at RT0, the AT may be won for a plurality of games which are digested by the store clerk until the CB is won in order to shift from RT0 to RT1. If the store clerk opens the store without noticing the AT winning (in this case, the AT win and the state controlled by RT1), the AT won status (advantage), so-called morning service (sales clerk before the hall opening) In the state of service to prepare to be in an advantageous state, the player may be made to play, and the payout rate may not be as designed.

  Therefore, in this modification, the AT lottery is not performed at RT0. Therefore, it is possible to prevent AT winning during RT0, and to prevent a state such as morning service.

  Although the AT lottery may be made at RT0, the AT may not always be won. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent AT winning during RT0, and it is possible to prevent a state like a morning service.

[About the leading role]
In the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out for the leading role is the same between when the first pushing order bell is won and when the second pushing order bell is won, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of medals paid out for the leading role may differ between when the pushing order bell is won and when the second pushing order bell is won.

  For example, while the middle bell which is the protagonist when winning the first pushing order bell is paid out eight medals, the right falling bell which is the protagonist when winning the second pushing order bell is 3 pieces A medal may be paid out. Even in this way, when the middle bell wins in the game in which the first push order bell is won, the player can be pleased.

  On the other hand, since the same number of medals as the number of medals for which the number of bets for which one game can be started can be set is awarded even when the downhill bell wins in the game winning the second pushing order bell. The net increase per game won by the player does not change. However, in order to win the downhill bell, it is necessary to operate according to the corresponding operation procedure in the game which has won the second pushing order bell, and it may be dropped. That is, in the game in which the second push order bell is won, the downhill bell wins and the net increase in number does not change when operating in the corresponding operation procedure, whereas the downhill bell does not change when operating in the incompatible operation procedure. The net increase will be reduced without winning. Therefore, by controlling whether or not to operate in the response operation procedure in the game winning the second push order bell by the navigation effect, the net increase number per game is made to be the same as the winning of the replay player combination. You can also reduce it. Therefore, if the second push order bell is used instead of the replay role, the payout rate for a specific period in the entire game is not limited to 0, and the payout rate for the specific period is 0 or less. You can also As a result, the payout rate of the entire game can be suppressed, and the degree of freedom in design relating to the payout rate can be improved.

  Furthermore, the degree of advantage at the time of winning a leading role may differ as follows when the first pushing order bell is won and when the second pushing order bell is won.

  For example, when a middle bell is won, a predetermined benefit (for example, execution of AT lottery, execution of a benefit effect, assignment confirmation of navistock, etc.) is given, and when the lower right bell is won, a predetermined benefit is not given. It may be In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to provide a difference in the degree of advantage between the middle bell winning and the right falling bell winning, and it is possible to give a clear feeling to the game.

  In the present embodiment, the main roles are different between the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell. For example, the leading role of middle bell 1 is middle bell, while the leading role of middle bell 5 is right descending bell. However, the display results of the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell may be the same or different.

  The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment may have a plurality of pay lines. The winning lines are not limited to straight lines, but may be, for example, mountain-shaped lines or valley-shaped lines. For example, the main part of the first push order bell may be aligned across three lines, while the main part of the second push order bell may be aligned across one line. For example, assuming that the same protagonist is the bell-bell-bell, the protagonist of the first push order bell is the part where "bell-bell-bell" is aligned across three lines, and the protagonist of the second push order bell is It may be a role in which "bell-bell-bell" is aligned across one line. In addition, nine medals are paid out when "Bell-Bell-Bell" aligns across three lines, whereas three medals are paid out when "Belle-Bell-Bell" aligns across one line It may be As described above, the main winning combination of the first push order bell and the main winning combination of the second push order bell may have the same winning combination, but may have different numbers of derived lines.

  The combination of winning combinations may be different between the first push order bell and the second push order bell. For example, the first pushing order bell may win the protagonist of the second pushing order bell, and the second pushing order bell may win the protagonist of the first pushing order bell.

  For example, in a slot machine provided with N (N is a natural number) pay lines, when a specific winning combination is won, when operated in the handling operation procedure, S (S satisfies S ≦ M) as a leading role Natural numbers) Match the symbols that generate winnings on the winning lines of the book, and when operated in the non-correspondence operation procedure, as a side-effect, T (T is a natural number that satisfies T ≦ S) on the winning lines You may make it match the pattern which generates a prize. In other words, it is possible to generate S winnings as the leading role and T winnings as the auxiliary role. Furthermore, the number of medals to be paid out may be smaller when the main character wins than when the auxiliary role wins. Furthermore, even with such a configuration, when the side part is missed, the transitional appearance eye or the outset appearance eye may be derived.

  All the S winnings and the T winnings may be the same (for example, bell winning with bell-bell-bell alignment). That is, when a specific winning combination is won and operated in the corresponding operation procedure, S bell winnings are generated, and when operated in an operating procedure different from the corresponding operating procedure, T bell winnings occur. Be done. When such a configuration is made, the concept of side effects disappears. When S bell winnings are generated, the number of medals paid out is larger than when T bell winnings are generated. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it possible for the player to recognize whether or not the player has been operated in the handling operation procedure by the number of bell winnings, thereby making it possible to improve the interest of the game. Even when T bell winnings have not occurred while operating in the non-operational operation procedure, transitional or outset eyes are derived.

  In the present embodiment, the protagonist of the first push order bell is a display result in which three symbols of "bell" are aligned on the pay line LN, while the protagonist of the second push order bell is on the invalid line LM3. It is a display result that three symbols of "Bell" are aligned on the. As a result, the player is made to recognize which protagonist has won. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, the main part of the first push order bell and the main part of the second push order bell may be a display result in which three different specific symbols are aligned on the same line. For example, while the protagonist of the first push order bell is a display result in which three symbols of "bell" are aligned on the pay line LN, the protagonist of the second push order bell is "orange" on the pay line LN It may be a display result in which three symbols are aligned. In this case, even if the protagonist of the first push order bell and the protagonist of the second push order bell are aligned on the same pay line LN, any protagonist wins the player by confirming the symbols. It can be made to recognize.

  In addition, the main part of the first push order bell and the main part of the second push order bell may be a display result in which three different specific symbols are aligned on different lines. For example, the protagonist of the first push order bell is a display result in which three symbols of "bell" are aligned on the payline LN, while the protagonist of the second push order bell is "orange" on the ineffective line LM3. It may be a display result in which three symbols are aligned. In this way, in addition to confirming the line in which the specific symbols are aligned, the player may be made to recognize which main character has won by confirming the aligned symbols. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, push order bells that are correct in correspondence to each of the first middle stop and the first right stop are provided. That is, there was provided a push order bell in which the main character wins a correct answer when the middle reel is stopped first, and a push order bell in which the main character wins a correct answer when the first reel is stopped first . However, a pushing order bell may be provided in which the leading role is won when the first left stop, that is, when the left reel is stopped first. Furthermore, a push order bell in which the protagonist wins a correct answer in the left first stop, a push order bell in which the protagonist wins in a correct answer in the middle stop, and a push order bell in which the protagonist wins correct in the right first stop. Each may be provided with the same number of roles, and the winning probability may also be the same. In this way, the probability that the main character will win can be made substantially the same, regardless of the operation procedure, throughout the entire game.

  Furthermore, as the 1st push order bell with a high navigation stock grant expectation value and a high degree of advantage, the push order bell that the correct answer is given in the middle first stop and the lead role is won, and the correct right turn in the right first stop Only the push order bell is set, but the second push order bell with a low navistock grant expectation value and a low degree of advantage is a push order bell in which the leading role is won by making a correct answer at the left first stop, It is possible to set all of the pushing order bells in which the protagonist wins as a correct answer in the middle first stop and the pushing order bells in which the protagonist wins a correct answer in the right first stop. In this manner, the player can be made aware that the main character has won based on the navi effect in the game winning the first push order bell during the AT, and the player has a high degree of advantage. Can improve the interest of On the other hand, during non-AT, the navi effect is not executed in the game winning the first pushing order bell, and the protagonist does not win, so the player is not recognized as having a high advantage. This makes it possible to make the game clearer.

  In addition, as the first push order bell, a push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer in the middle first stop, and only a push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer in the right first stop is set. As the order bell, the main character wins the main character with a correct answer in the left first stop, the correct character in the first stop during the middle stop, and the main character with the correct answer in the right first stop After all the push order bells are set, the probability that the protagonist will win may be substantially the same, regardless of the operation procedure, throughout the entire game. That is, since the first pushing order bell is not provided with the part that becomes the correct answer at the left first stop, the second pushing order bell is higher in the left first stop at a higher rate than the middle first stop or the right first stop. There may be provided a role in which is the correct answer. In this way, the first push order bell can be used to improve the interest of the game by enhancing the player's advantage, while the second push order bell can be used to maintain a certain degree of consistency throughout the game. Can maintain the payout rate of

  Also, for the first pushing order bell, the protagonist wins if the first stop reel is correct, but for the second pushing order bell, it is added to the first stop reel and correct until the second stop reel The protagonist may not win if he does not do it. For example, as the first push order bell, a push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer in the left first stop, a push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer in the middle first stop, and a correct answer in the right first stop As the second push order bell, the correct answer by the order push and the push order bell by which the lead role is won, and the correct answer by the pinch and the lead role wins A push order bell and a push order bell in which a protagonist wins by making a correct answer by middle left press and a push order bell in which a protagonist wins by making a right answer by a middle right push There may be provided a forward bell and a push order bell in which the protagonist wins by making a correct answer by reverse push. In this way, depending on which of the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell is won, the number of selection of the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role is different, thereby improving the interest of the game Can. Furthermore, when winning the first push order bell, it is possible to win the protagonist if the correct answer is selected from among the three choices, whereas when the second push order bell is won, the main role has to be won if the correct answer is selected from the six choices. Can not be won, and a difference can be made in the advantage between the first push order bell and the second push order bell.

[About the side role]
In the present embodiment, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the main character always wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, and when operated in a specific operation procedure out of non-corresponding operation procedures other than the corresponding operation procedure. When the side part is won and operated in an operating procedure other than the specific operating procedure among the non-compliant operating procedures, the missed part is derived. That is, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the main character always wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, and when operated in the non-corresponding operation procedure, only when the operation is performed at the auxiliary symbol design timing. When the winning combination was won, and it was operated at a timing other than the secondary winning symbol retraction timing, the missed shot was derived. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game in which the pushing order bell is won, the protagonist always wins when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure, but the side player always wins when the non-corresponding operation procedure is operated. May be Alternatively, in a game in which the pushing order bell is won, the protagonist always wins when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure, but when the player is operated in the non-operation operation procedure, the missed shot is always derived. It may be.

  In this embodiment, for example, no matter which of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 is won, the same side effect or the same dropout occurs when operated in the same non-correspondence operation procedure. Was described as being derived. However, only the dropout may be the same and the side drop may be different.

  Since a predetermined number of medals are paid out when the additional winning combination is derived, the sense of regret is reduced even if the player is grasped by the derived additional winning combination by the player. On the other hand, since the medal is not paid out when the missed roll is derived, the winning combination is grasped to the player from the derived dropped out eye, giving a sense of regret. Therefore, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, it is arranged that although the dropped eyes derived when operated in the same non-correspondence operation procedure are the same, the derived side eyes are different. May be

  In order to realize a slot machine having such a configuration, for example, a stop control table shown below may be referred to. For example, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won by the player, when it is the secondary character symbol draw-in timing and is operated in the non-correspondence operation procedure, different side effects are output according to the type of the winning combination. The stop control table is referred to which derives the eye and which is a timing different from that of the accessory role pull-in timing, and when operated in the non-correspondence operation procedure, derives the same dropout eye regardless of the type of winning combination. You may

  In the present embodiment, when the pushing order bell is won, the auxiliary symbol is always drawn in at the first stop and the second stop when operated in the non-correspondence operation procedure, while the operation at the third stop is performed. According to the timing, one of the side-effect and the side-effect has been derived, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the first stop, the auxiliary symbol may be drawn in, and either the auxiliary display or the dropout may be derived according to the operation timing at the second stop or the third stop. .

  In any case, when the pushing order bell is won, the processing of the reel control when the leading role is missed is simplified by sharing in part or all the stop control table used when the leading role is dropped. Storage capacity of the main control unit 41 can be reduced.

[About AT control management]
In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the sub control unit 91 executes the determination and control relating to the AT as a period advantageous to the player. More specifically, the sub control unit 91 determines, based on a command from the main control unit 91, an AT lottery that determines whether to control to the AT, and a degree of advantage of the AT (for example, a game that can be controlled by the AT) The example which performs the AT control which controls AT based on the result of the AT lottery and the AT lottery is described.

  However, the determination and control regarding the AT as an advantageous period may be performed only by the main control unit 41. As an example executed by only the main control unit 41, for example, the main control unit 41 performs AT lottery and advantage lottery, sets an AT flag for controlling to AT based on the result, and is setting the AT flag. In order to execute the navi effect capable of specifying the operation procedure according to the result of the internal lottery, the navigation command capable of specifying the operation procedure may be transmitted to the sub control unit 91. Then, the sub control unit 91 may execute navigation effects capable of specifying the operation procedure based on the navigation command.

  The main control unit 41 is not limited to the one that transmits the navi command that can specify the operation procedure, and the sub control unit can be a command that can specify the result of the internal lottery and a command that can specify that the AT is in progress. It is transmitted to 91, and the sub control unit 91 may execute navigation effects capable of specifying a predetermined operation procedure based on the received commands.

  In addition, when determination and control relating to the AT as an advantageous period are performed by only the main control unit 41, notification means capable of notifying that the AT is in progress (for example, effect effect LED corresponding to each reel) And the like may be controlled by the main control unit 41. Further, the main control unit 41 manages whether or not the AT is in progress (determines whether the AT flag is set or not), and according to the result, the main control unit 41 indicates that the AT is in progress. The during-AT signal may be externally output.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 manages determination and control relating to the AT to change the payout rate according to the situation, but only the main control unit 41 determines and controls the AT. It may be managed to change the payout rate according to the situation.

  In addition, when managing the determination and control regarding the AT by only the main control unit 41, although the use capacity is enormous with respect to the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side, as in the present embodiment, the winning order bell is won If the stop control table used when dropping out the leading role in the played game is made common, the storage capacity on the side of the main control unit 41 can be reduced, and a small amount of storage capacity can be secured.

[About control when the leading role is missed]
In the present embodiment, as shown at timing t10 in FIG. 26 and Sb12 and Sb13 in FIG. 28, in the game in which the push bell is won during non-AT, the game is operated by the recommended operation procedure (forward push) In the event that it had missed it, specific control was performed (the output of the AT signal was stopped, and the freeze execution probability was changed).

  However, the execution of the specific control is not limited to one triggered by the omission of the protagonist as a result of being operated in the recommended operation procedure (forward press). For example, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, there is no push order bell in which the main character wins by forward press, and the forward push is set as the recommended operation procedure during non-AT. . For this reason, in a game which is won by a push bell during non-AT, if it is operated by the recommended operation procedure (forward push), the leading role will always be missed. Therefore, in the process of Sb9 of FIG. 28, it may be determined only whether or not the operation is performed in the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing). Alternatively, in the processing of Sb 9 in FIG. 28, it may be determined whether or not the leading role has been dropped.

  It should be noted that, unlike the present embodiment, in the case where a push order bell is provided in which the protagonist wins by forward press, even if it is in AT, when the win order bell is won by the protagonist in forward press It may be pushed forward based on it. In this case, it is not sufficient to just determine whether or not the operation was performed in the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing), so it is preferable to determine only whether or not the leading role has been dropped or both. In other words, either the specific control is executed when the leading role is dropped in the game in which the winning bell is won, or the leading role is dropped after being operated in the recommended operation procedure (forward push) in the game in which the winning bell is won. It is preferable to execute specific control at times.

  Furthermore, unlike the present embodiment, when non-AT is not set to the recommended operation procedure during non-AT, and no operation is imposed even if it is operated by other than forward pressing, it is assumed that the non-AT is selected during non-AT. Not exclusively. In this case, it is not sufficient to just determine whether or not the operation was performed in the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing), so it is preferable to determine only whether or not the leading role has been dropped or both. In other words, either the specific control is executed when the leading role is dropped in the game in which the winning bell is won, or the leading role is dropped after being operated in the recommended operation procedure (forward push) in the game in which the winning bell is won. It is preferable to execute specific control at times.

  In the present embodiment, the value of the AT signal stop counter is incremented by one when the protagonist is dropped in the recommended operation procedure in the game winning the push order bell, and the specific control is performed when the value of the counter reaches 2. Was to However, not only when the value of the AT signal stop counter reaches 2 but also when the value of the AT signal stop counter reaches a predetermined value of 3 or more, specific control may be executed. Specific control may be executed when the value of the stop counter reaches one. In addition, in the case of one-time determination, a counting counter such as an AT signal stop counter may not be provided. For example, when it is determined that the protagonist is missed in the recommended operation procedure in the game winning the push order bell, a flag is set as the specific information in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and the specific control is executed on the condition that the flag is set. It may be one.

  Further, the specific control is not limited to the one that stops the output of the AT signal or changes the freeze execution probability as in the present embodiment, and may be other control. For example, as specific control, control to output AT signal, control to execute freeze, control to increase or decrease trigger to execute freeze, control to execute reel effect (for example, effect to swing reel when 3rd reel is stopped), and The control of operating the movable character device provided in the slot machine 1 may be performed.

  In addition, when managing the determination and control related to the AT by only the main control unit 41, as specific control, control is performed to change the lottery probability of the AT lottery (for example, change from high probability to low probability) Change the value of the control (for example, changing from AT screen to non-AT screen), changing the execution frequency of AT (for example, changing from high execution frequency to low execution frequency), and the count of AT games For example, the value of the count of the number of AT games may be set to 0, or the count may be cleared.

  Furthermore, when the end timing of the AT is managed by the main control unit 41, the freeze execution at the end timing of the AT is set in advance at the start of the AT, and the leading role is missed in the recommended operation procedure in the game winning the bell. At the same time, it may perform the freeze that has been set.

  It should be noted that after the AT is completed, the freeze occurs in a period until the main control unit 41 recognizes the termination of the AT and stops the output of the AT signal (for example, a period from timing t9 to timing t10 shown in FIG. 26) The execution probability of may be higher than during AT (super high probability). Thereby, in a predetermined period after the AT is completed, the possibility that the navistock is given by the AT lottery increases, so it may be controlled back to the AT and the interest of the game can be improved. .

[About judgment when AT controls continuously]
In the present embodiment, as shown at timing t4 and timing t7 in FIG. 26 and Sb5 in FIG. 28, when finishing the AT of the set currently being controlled and continuing to control to the next set of AT, Normally, replay was used as a judgment use. Then, when the normal replay is won by a game other than the forward press in the game in which the normal replay is won, the main control unit 41 stops the output of the AT signal to change the freeze execution probability.

  However, the judgment use role is not limited to the normal replay, and other replay roles such as push order reps and other small roles such as push order bells may be used. For example, when a push order rep is used as a judgment use combination, when the main control unit 41 wins any of the replays GR31 to 36 in RT3, if the SP replay is won, the ATs of the set currently being controlled are still It may be determined that the process does not end, and if the normal replay is won, it may be determined that the AT of the set currently being controlled has ended. At this time, when the sub control unit 91 wins any one of the replays GR 31 to 36 in RT 3, if the AT of the set currently being controlled has ended, the sub control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure for winning a regular replay. Good.

  In addition, in the determination when ending the control of the set currently under control and continuing control to the next set of AT, it is similar to the determination based on the update of the AT signal stop counter when the AT finally ends. Alternatively, the determination may be made based on a plurality of updates by the counter.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to terminate the control of the set currently being controlled and to control continuously to the next set of ATs, but the present invention is limited thereto. Absent. For example, if there is a transition to a special AT in which the number of AT games and navistock are added to the AT under control, it is determined by the main control unit 41 whether or not the transition to the special AT is made. It may be. In this case, the main control unit 41 may newly output a special AT signal different from the AT signal when recognizing that the special AT has been shifted.

[About the winning combinations in a predetermined relationship]
In the following, the lottery target combinations having a predetermined relationship with each other are referred to as lottery target combinations α and β. The lottery target roles α and β correspond to the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5, respectively. The lottery target roles α and β respectively have a leading role and an auxiliary role. In the present embodiment, it has been described that the side pieces of the lottery target roles α and β in the predetermined relationship are completely the same. For example, the side bells of middle bell 1 and the side bell of middle bell 5 are both the upper bell 2 and the upper bell 5 and are completely identical. However, the side pieces of the lottery target roles α and β do not have to be completely identical, as long as they have a common side role. For example, the side positions included in the lottery target combination α may be set as “the side combination X and the side combination Y”, and the side positions included in the lottery target combination β may be set as “the side combination X and the side combination Z”. In other words, the lottery target roles α and β have the common side role X. In such a configuration, even when the lottery target combination α is won, or even when the lottery target combination β is elected, the operation procedure is non-compliant and the operation is performed at the side position of the secondary symbol combination. When it is determined, the common auxiliary character X is always made to win, and reel control is executed so as not to cause the auxiliary character Y or the auxiliary character Z to win.

  As described above, even if the lottery target roles α and β have the common auxiliary role X, the lottery target position α has the auxiliary role Y, and the lottery target role β has the auxiliary role Z, the lottery When the target combination α or the lottery target combination β is won, the common secondary combination X must be won and the secondary combinations Y, Z are selected when the operation procedure is non-compliant and the secondary combination symbol drawing timing is operated. Be sure not to win a prize. Even with this configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling disappointing without grasping the lottery target combination.

  There is the following method as a method for making sure that the common assistant X always wins and the assistants Y and Z never win. For example, when the lottery target combination α or the lottery target combination β is won, the configuration symbol of the auxiliary combination X is always operated when the non-corresponding operation procedure is operated at a timing at which the auxiliary combination Y, Z can be drawn. The symbol array is such that can be drawn. With such a symbol array, even if the lottery target combination α or β is won, the configuration symbols of the auxiliary characters Y and Z are not derived on the pay line LN, and the configuration symbols of the auxiliary combination X are obtained It can be made to derive above.

  In the present embodiment, the “corresponding operation procedure” and the “non-corresponding operation procedure” of the lottery target role are completely identical in a plurality of winning combinations, for example, the corresponding operation procedures of middle bell 1 and middle bell 5 are both In both cases, the non-correspondence operating procedure is either the left first stop or the right first stop. However, the non-corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target role may not be completely the same as long as it includes a common procedure. For example, the corresponding operation procedure and the non-corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β may be set as follows.

  The corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target combination α is a first right stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is a left first stop and a middle first stop. The corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target combination β is middle first stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is left first stop and right first stop. When configured in this way, the non-corresponding operating procedure of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β includes the left first stop as the common operation procedure, and the non-corresponding operating procedure of the lottery target combination α is the first middle The non-corresponding operation procedure of the inclusion lottery target role β includes a right first stop.

  Here, in the case where the recommended operation procedure is set to the left first stop, if it is a normal player, the stop switch is operated in the recommended operation procedure in order to avoid the penalty. That is, as long as the information according to the lottery target combination (for example, the corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target combination) is not notified (for example, controlled to non-AT), the player operates according to the recommended operation procedure. It can be derived. Furthermore, even when any of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won, the auxiliary roles derived when operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure are the same. Therefore, even if any of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won, the same side winning combination is derived when operated in the recommended operation procedure which is the non-correspondence operation procedure. It is possible not to determine which of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won by a person. In this case, the corresponding operation procedures of the lottery target role α and the lottery target role β will also be different.

  Thus, if the non-corresponding operating procedures of both the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β include, for example, a recommended operating procedure as a common operating procedure, both non-corresponding operating procedures are completely the same. Even if this is not the case, it is possible not to determine which of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won by the player.

  Further, even when any of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won, the same display result is derived only when operated in the recommended operation procedure, and any of the corresponding operation procedure and the recommended operation procedure When operated with no operating procedure, different display results may be derived.

  In the present embodiment, the number of combinations of lottery target roles in a predetermined relationship is “middle bell 1 and middle bell 5”, “middle bell 2 and middle bell 6”, “middle bell 3 and middle bell 7”, "Inside Bell 4 and Inside Bell 8", "Right Bell 1 and Right Bell 5", "Right Bell 2 and Right Bell 6", "Right Bell 3 and Right Bell 7", "Right Bell 4 and Right Bell 8" Although described as eight pairs, it is not limited thereto. For example, the number of combinations of lottery target roles having a predetermined relationship may be other than eight, or may be one.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery target combination having a predetermined relationship is composed of two lottery target combinations α and β. For example, the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 constitute a set of lottery target roles in a predetermined relationship. Not limited to this, three or more lottery target roles may constitute one set of lottery target roles in a predetermined relationship. When a plurality of winning combinations are provided, the number of components of at least one corresponding lottery target combination among the plurality of lottery target combinations may be different from that of the other corresponding lottery target combinations.

[Reel control]
Hereinafter, the lottery target combination having the predetermined relationship described in the present embodiment is also referred to as “corresponding lottery target combination”. In the present embodiment, the same stop control table is used when operated in the non-operational operation procedure when any of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β constituting the corresponding lottery target combination is won. Reel control is performed with reference to this. However, if it is not determined by the player that the lottery target combination α or the lottery target combination β is won by the outcome derived when operated in the non-operational operation procedure, any reel control is performed. You may go.

  For example, when the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β are won, the reel control may be executed with reference to the stop control table corresponding to each of the lottery target combinations. For example, when the lottery target combination α is won, the stop control table A is referred to when operated in the non-operational operation procedure, and when the lottery target combination β is selected, the stop control table B is operated in the non-operation operation procedure. May be referred to. As a premise of the slot machine 1 of the present modification, the corresponding operation procedure of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is a middle first stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is a left first stop and a right first stop. It is assumed that the auxiliary symbol of the left reel common to the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is “BELL”, and the symbol arrangement is as shown in FIG.

  In the slot machine 1 having such a configuration, when the symbol "Replay" of the left reel with the area number 16 is operated by the player at the first left stop (non-corresponding operation procedure) at the timing when the symbol "Replay" is positioned on the payline LN, If the stop control table A is referred to, the bell of the area number 17 is derived by shifting one frame, and if the stop control table B is referred to, the bell of the area number 20 is derived by shifting four frames. In other words, when the lottery target combination α is won and when the lottery target combination β is selected, when operated in the non-correspondence operation procedure at the same timing, bells having the same number of sliding symbols are derived with different numbers of sliding symbols. Be done. Since the reels are rotating at high speed, and it is difficult to measure the number of sliding symbols if it is a normal player, it is determined from the number of sliding symbols which one of the winning combinations α and β has been won. It is also very difficult to determine. Therefore, even when such reel control is performed, the player does not know which of the corresponding lottery target roles has been won.

  The following reel control may be performed. It is assumed that the common side of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is a side combination S1 and S2, and the non-corresponding operation procedure common to the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is a non-corresponding operation procedure P. Hereinafter, the relationship between the operation procedure of the slot machine 1 of the present modification and the side effects derived by the reel control of the present modification will be shown. When it is operated at the operation timing X and the non-corresponding operation procedure P when the lottery target combination α is won, the side combination S1 is derived. When the operation is performed at the operation timing Y and the non-corresponding operation procedure P when the lottery target combination α is won, the side combination S2 is derived. When it is operated at the operation timing X and the non-corresponding operation procedure P when the lottery target combination β is won, the side combination S2 is derived. When it is operated at the operation timing Y and the non-corresponding operation procedure P when the lottery target combination β is won, the side combination S1 is derived.

  In addition to such a configuration, “a secondary player who is derived when the lottery target combination α is elected but not derived when the lottery target combination β is elected”, or is derived when the lottery target combination β is won, but is selected for the lottery It is assumed that there is no side character that is not derived when the combination α is won. As a result, when the lottery target combination α is won, the auxiliary role S1 or the auxiliary combination S2 may be derived according to the operation timing, but even when the lottery target combination β is elected, the auxiliary role S1 or the secondary The role S2 can be derived. Therefore, when operated in the non-operational operation procedure P, either when the lottery target combination α is won or when the lottery target combination β is won, the side winning combination S1 or the side winning combination S2 can be derived. It is not determined by the player which of the target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won.

[About AT lottery]
In the present embodiment, the conditions under which the AT lottery is performed are described as being the conditions established by winning the AT lottery combination shown in FIG. 25 and the occurrence of a freeze, but it is not limited to this. For example, the AT lottery role may be another winning combination. The condition under which the AT lottery is executed may be a condition established by the predetermined combination winning a prize. The condition for executing the AT lottery may be a condition that is satisfied by generating random numbers in a predetermined range by performing random number lottery for each predetermined game. Furthermore, the number of AT games may be granted without being limited to the case where the navistock is awarded by winning the AT lottery.

  In the present embodiment, when the first pushing order bell (middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4) is won, the second pushing order bell (middle 5 to 8; right bell 5 to 8) Although it was advantageous in that the expectation value of navistock grant by one AT lottery was higher than when it was elected, it is not restricted to this. For example, the AT lottery may be performed when the first pushing order bell is won, but the AT drawing may not be performed when the second pushing order bell is won. In addition, when the first pushing order bell is won, the freeze that triggers the execution of the AT lottery is executed (or the freezing is performed with high probability), but when the second pushing order bell is elected, The freeze that triggers the execution of the AT lottery may not be executed (or the freeze may be executed with a low probability).

[Recommended operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navi presentation is the forward push. However, other operation procedures may be recommended operation procedures.

  For example, an operation procedure for causing the left first stop when the specific symbol is positioned on the pay line may be a recommended operation procedure. When it is operated at the timing (for example, timing which is located on the payline LN) which can be drawn in on the payline LN with the particular design, any small part is high proportion than the design other than the particular design concerned It is a symbol that can be won. For example, the specific symbol may be a cherry of symbol number 10 among the symbols arranged on the left reel 2L of FIG. 3. By operating the cherries of the left reel on the pay line LN at such a timing that the player can draw the cherries on the left reel, it is possible to derive a symbol according to the winning situation on the pay line LN. For example, when the middle watermelon is won, reel control is performed to stop "watermelon" having the symbol number 14 on the pay line LN. When the middle-tier cherry has been won, reel control is performed to stop the symbol number 10 "cherry" on the pay line LN.

  As described above, by operating the cherries of the left reel on the pay line LN at such a timing that it is possible to stop the symbols constituting the winning combination being won on the pay line LN according to the winning situation, As a result, it is possible to increase the ratio of winning a small part.

  That is, it is possible to have at least the left reel derive a symbol constituting a winning combination among all the winning combinations (so-called DDT hitting method or KKK hitting method). The specific symbol may be another symbol. For example, it may be a BAR of symbol number 11.

  As described above, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained also as an operation procedure for stopping the recommended operation procedure when the specific symbol is positioned on the pay line.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navi presentation is forward pressing, and the recommended operation procedure in the game at the navi presentation is the notified operation procedure. However, the recommended operating procedure may be another operating procedure, as long as the gameplay as designed can be realized. For example, the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation effect may be middle first stop or right first stop. The recommended operation procedure of the game at the time of non-navigation effect may be left first stop, and the recommended operation procedure of the non-navigation effect game controlled in the specific period may be middle first stop or right first stop. Here, the specific period may be a period in which the AT winning probability is improved by being controlled.

[About the penalty]
In the present embodiment, the AT lottery of whether or not to provide the navigation stock even if the AT lottery condition is established as a disadvantage control which is disadvantageous for the player when operated even once in the recommended operation procedure. It explained that it was not done. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of times of operation in the non-recommended operation procedure may be counted, and the penalty control may be performed when the number reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times). Any process that causes a penalty to be controlled by the process related to the event operated in the non-recommended operating procedure may be used.

  In addition, the penalty may be a decrease in the probability of winning in the AT lottery, or a decrease in the expected value of the number of navistocks to be awarded, as long as the player suffers a disadvantage. It may be

  The penalty may be a decrease in the probability of winning a predetermined winning combination as compared to when no penalty is given. The penalty may reduce the probability that a special effect (for example, an effect with a freeze, etc.) will be performed, as compared to when no penalty is given.

[Relationship Between First Display Result and Second Display Result]
In the present embodiment, the symbol combination of the middle bell is illustrated as the “first display result”, and the symbol combination of the lower right bell is illustrated as the “second display result”. When the first display result is derived, it is more advantageous for the player than when the second display result is derived. However, the relationship between the first display result and the second display result is not limited to this.

  For example, the first display result may be a symbol combination of the lower right bell in the present embodiment, and the second display result may be a symbol combination of the middle bell in the present embodiment. Furthermore, when the second display result is derived, it may be more advantageous for the player than when the first display result is derived.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the winning combination (the first push order bell) including the first display result in the winning combination is won on the AT lottery reference table shown in FIG. 25B, the second display result Although the expected value of giving a navistock is higher than that of winning the winning combination (second push order bell) including the winning combination, it is not limited thereto. For example, in the AT lottery, when the winning combination including the second display result in the winning combination is won, the expected value of giving the navistock is higher than that when winning the winning combination including the first display result in the winning combination. It may be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the winning combination (the first push order bell) including the first display result in the winning combination is won, the leading role can be won if the correct answer is selected from the three choices. When winning the winning combination (the second push order bell) including the second display result in the winning combination (the second pushing order bell), it is not possible to win the leading role unless the correct answer is selected from the six choices, but it is not limited thereto. For example, when winning the winning combination including the second display result in the winning combination, it is possible to win the leading role if the correct answer is selected from the three choices, but the winning combination including the first display result in the winning combination is won When you do, you may not be able to win the protagonist if you do not make a correct answer from the six choices.

  As described above, between the "first display result" and the "second display result", either is advantageous in view of the expected value to be given to the navistock, the degree of difficulty of the main character winning, or the number of payouts and other benefits. It may be a display result, or any of them may be a disadvantageous display result.
