The informing means is a first informing aspect (for example, as shown in FIG. 27A-1), the information capable of specifying the operation aspect of the derivation operation means is a large numeric image and a large sound volume as shown in FIG. And a second notification mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), a mode in which a numeric image is displayed small and an audio is output at a small volume). Informing in any of the notification modes,
The probability that the informing means notifies in the first informing mode and the probability that informing in the second informing mode may occur when the pre-determining means allows derivation of the first display result, and the pre-determining means It differs depending on when the derivation of the second display result is permitted (see, for example, the [about the form of the navigation effect of the modification] column in the modification).

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the first display result when the derivation of the first display result is permitted, the first display result is derived. When the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result when the derivation of the second display result is permitted, the second display result having an advantage different from that of the first display result is derived. Thus, when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result for which the derivation is permitted, the display results having different degrees of advantage are derived according to the display result for which the derivation is permitted, so that the derivation is permitted. It is possible to draw the player's interest on the type of display result derived when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the display result. Furthermore, the probability of informing in the first notification mode and the probability of informing in the second notification mode differ between when the derivation of the first display result is permitted and when the derivation of the second display result is permitted. As described above, since information capable of specifying the operation mode is notified in a different notification mode according to the type of display result permitted to be derived, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the notification mode, and it is possible to Interest will improve.

  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 “display results other than the second display result” includes both the display result where a winning occurs and the display result where a winning does not occur (dropped out eye).

  In the above (1) and (2), the "advancing degree" is an advantage brought about by the main control such as an advantage related to the payout of medals, an advantage brought about by a sub control such as an advantage related to navigation effects, and a server device Including any of the advantages provided by devices other than gaming machines, such as the advantages associated with the granting of benefits by.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The first notification mode emphasizes information that can specify the operation mode of the derivation operation means rather than the second notification mode (navi presentation shown in FIG. 27 (a-1) In addition to the navi effect shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), the number image is displayed larger and the sound is output at a large volume).

  According to such a configuration, when derivation of the first display result is permitted, information capable of specifying the operation mode is emphasized and notified more than when derivation of the second display result is permitted. Therefore, the interest of the player can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

(4) In the above slot machines (1) to (3),
The derivation control means
The first display result when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the first display result, when the predetermination unit permits the derivation of the first display result. And a control for deriving a specific display result (for example, a symbol combination of the upper bell which is an assistant) among display results other than the second display result.
In the case where the predetermination unit permits derivation of the second display result, the specific display result (when the derivation operation unit is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the second display result) For example, control is performed to derive the symbol combination of the upper bell which is an assistant,
The specific display result is a display result having an advantage lower than that of the first display result and the second display result (for example, the upper bell has a smaller number of medals paid out than the middle bell and the lower right bell).

  According to such a configuration, since the specific display result is a display result having an advantage lower than that of the first display result and the second display result, the derivation of the first display result is permitted or the second display result When the derivation of is permitted, the player can be motivated to operate the derivation operation means in the operation mode corresponding to the display result for which the derivation is permitted.

(5) In the above slot machines (1) to (4),
It further comprises an awarding unit (eg, processing of paying out medals by the main control unit 41) for awarding a gaming value based on the winnings that have occurred,
The application means is
When a winning according to the first display result occurs, a gaming value having a higher value than that when the winning according to the second display result occurs is provided (for example, eight middle bell winnings) Pays out three medals at the time of winning the downhill bell, while paying out
When a prize according to the second display result occurs, a game value is given which can set a bet number that makes it possible to start one game (for example, the number of bets for setting the bet number at the time of winning of the falling bell Pay out the same 3 medals as).

  According to such a configuration, since the first display result has a high degree of advantage in that the gaming value having a higher value than the second display result is provided, the player is given the first display result. Can please. On the other hand, even when the second display result is derived, the player is not lost by providing the gaming value capable of setting the number of bets for which one game can be started. Furthermore, the payout rate can be suppressed by using the second display result instead of using the replay display result in which the number of bets for which the next game can be started without using the gaming value is set, and the payout rate can be reduced. It is possible to improve the freedom of design.

(6) In the slot machine of (1) to (5) above,
Rendering means (for example, the liquid crystal display 51) for executing a predetermined rendering (for example, rendering when operated in the corresponding operation procedure);
And an effect control unit (for example, a sub control unit 91) for controlling the effect unit.
The effect control means is
In the case where the pre-determination unit permits the derivation of the first display result, when the derivation operation unit is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the first display result, the rendering unit is controlled in the first control (for example, 27 (a-1) and (b-1), control to display a star-shaped notification image and a character image of "Nice !!" (for example, FIG. 27 (a-1), (B-1)),
In the case where the predetermination unit permits the derivation of the second display result, when the derivation operation unit is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result, the second control of the rendering unit is performed ( For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2) and (b-2), control is performed so as not to display a star-shaped notification image and a character image of "Nice !!" (for example, FIG. 27 (a-2) , (B-2)).

  According to such a configuration, when derivation of the first display result is permitted, the rendering means is first controlled when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the first display result, When the derivation of the second display result is permitted, the rendering means is second controlled when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result. As described above, since the control of the effect means is different according to the type of the display result which is derived when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result which is permitted, the game for the control of the effect means Can attract the interest of the player, the interest of the game is improved.

(7) In the slot machine of (1) to (5) above,
Rendering means (for example, the liquid crystal display 51) for executing a predetermined rendering (for example, rendering when operated in the corresponding operation procedure);
And an effect control unit (for example, a sub control unit 91) for controlling the effect unit.
The effect control means controls the effect means in a first control (for example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a-1) and (b-1), a star-shaped notification image and a character of "Nice !!" Control mode for displaying an image and second control (for example, control for not displaying a star-shaped notification image and a character image of "Nice !!" as shown in FIGS. 27 (a-2) and (b-2) Mode) and any one of a plurality of types of control including
The probability that the effect control means executes the first control and the probability that the second control is performed allow the pre-determination means to derive the first display result and correspond to the first display result. When the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode, the pre-determination means permits the derivation of the second display result and the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result It differs depending on the time (for example, refer to the [Control mode of effect at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure] column in the modification example).

  According to such a configuration, the probability that the effect control means executes the first control, and the probability that the second control is performed are such that the derivation of the first display result is permitted and the operation mode corresponding to the first display result It differs when the derivation operation means is operated and when the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result where the derivation of the second display result is permitted. As described above, since the control of the effect means is different according to the type of the display result which is derived when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result which is permitted, the game for the control of the effect means Can attract the interest of the player, the interest of the game is improved.

(8) In the slot machine of (1) to (7) above,
A plurality of the variable display units are provided, and a winning can be generated according to a combination of display results of the plurality of variable display units,
The derivation control means
It is a specific situation in which there are two or more underivable variable display portions whose display results have not been derived yet and the predetermined variable display portion (for example, middle reel 2C) is included in the underivable variable display portion When the means allows derivation of the first display result (for example, the middle bell 1 to 4 is won), the derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display part of the non-derivation variable display parts is not Control is performed to derive the first display result when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, the first stop during the middle) which is operated earlier than the derivation operation means corresponding to the derivation variable display unit On the other hand, when the derivation operation means is operated in a specific operation procedure (for example, left / right first stop) other than the predetermined operation procedure, among the display results other than the first display result and the second display result Specific display result (even , Symbol combination of the upper level is a secondary role, performs control to derive the missed outcome),
In the specific situation, and in the case where the predetermination unit permits derivation of the second display result (for example, winning of middle bell 5 to 8), the derivation operation unit operates in the predetermined operation procedure. The second display result is controlled to derive the second display result, and when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, the specific display result (e.g. Control to derive the output.

  According to such a configuration, the derivation operation means is operated according to the predetermined operation procedure in either of the case where the derivation of the first display result is permitted and the case where the derivation of the second display result is permitted. The specific display result is derived when operated in the specific operation procedure without. Therefore, the player can not determine from the specific display result whether the derivation of the first display result is permitted or the derivation of the second display result is permitted. This makes it possible to prevent the player from giving a sense of regret when the display result having the higher degree of advantage among the first display result and the second display result is not derived. Can be prevented.

  The “specific operation procedure” may include all operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure, or may include any operation procedure of all the operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure.

(9) In the slot machine of (1) to (8) above,
When a predetermined display result (for example, a display result for generating a small winning combination such as a middle bell or an upper bell) is derived, a predetermined effect (for example, shown in (a-1) and (b-1) of FIG. 29) Predetermined effect executing means (for example, the process of S530 in FIG. 28 performed by the sub control unit 91) that executes an effect of lighting the reel LED;
When the predetermined display result is derived, a benefit giving unit capable of giving a benefit (for example, a medal) (for example, processing of paying out a medal according to the occurrence of a small winning combination by the main control unit 41) ,
Deprecated operation mode different from the recommended operation mode recommended for the player (for example, forward press during non-AT, response operation procedure notified during AT and navi effects, during AT and non navi effects) When the derivation operation means is operated in the operation mode (for example, irregular pressing, non-correspondence operation procedure), the disadvantage control which is more disadvantageous for the player than when the derivation operation means is operated in the recommended operation mode For example, the disadvantage control means capable of performing control to the penalty period (for example, the process of S580 in FIG. 28 by the sub control unit 91);
As a result of the derivation operation means being operated in the non-recommended operation mode, when the predetermined display result is derived, effect regulation means (for example, (a-2) in FIG. 29) which restricts the execution of the predetermined effect As shown in (b-2), the winning notification process is not executed even when winning is achieved).

  According to such a configuration, even when the predetermined display result is derived as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation mode, the execution of the predetermined effect is restricted, and thus the operation is performed in the recommended operation mode. It is possible to prevent the player from being impressed that the predetermined display result has been derived. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate in the recommended operation mode.

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.

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, the 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 progressed.

  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, an unused area and an unused stack area in 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 small winning combination with payout of medals and a re-playing combination in which the number of bets that can be played in the next game can be set without the player using the medals. is there. The small part and the re-play part are collectively referred to as a general part.

  In the present embodiment, the special role is not provided with the transition to the gaming state advantageous to the player, and only the small role and the re-play role are the targets for the internal lottery and the prize, but the special role The special combination may be a target of the internal lottery and the prize. 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. When the special role is provided, the winning flag of the special role is valid until the combination of the roles permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in the game in which the combination of the permitted roles 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 sends a bet command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a prize determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including a game state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, a door command, and an operation detection 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 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.

  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 diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state and the RT controlled by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG.

  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).

  With reference to FIG. 5, the special part of the winning combinations will be described. 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.

  Among the winning combinations, the minors will be described with reference to FIG. Among the winning combinations, small bells are middle bell, lower right bell, upper bell 1 to 8, middle watermelon, lower right watermelon, upper watermelon, lower cherry, middle cherry, single piece, right upward bell, upward right bevel, Rise up on the right. 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 three 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.

  Among the winning combinations, the re-playing combination will be described with reference to FIG. Among the winning combinations, 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 that generates any winning, gives a gaming value, changes the gaming state, or performs advantageous control or disadvantageous control 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.

  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.

[Participant for lottery]
Next, with reference to FIG. 10 to FIG. 14, combinations of lottery target combinations read out as lottery target combinations for each gaming state will be described. In FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, by representing “+” between winning combinations, it is shown that it is simultaneously read as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIG. 10 to FIG. 13, 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 印 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. 10 and 11 show combinations of special roles read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 12 shows combinations of small roles read as lottery target roles for each gaming state, and FIG. 13 shows a game FIG. 14 shows a combination of combinations constituting the simultaneous winning combination shown in FIG. 10 to FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, 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. 14, 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. 15 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of winning 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. 16 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of winning in the push-through order.

  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. 17 is a view for explaining the 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". The corresponding operation procedure of the middle bells 1 to 8 is a middle first stop, and the corresponding operation procedure of the right bells 1 to 8 is a right first 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 the "deputy minor". 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 is the “right falling bell”. 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". Dropouts of the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6, right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 are transition eyes and falling eyes, and middle bells 3, 4, 7, 8, right bells 3, 4 , 7 and 8 are falling eyes.

  Here, in a game in which one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won, the middle bell serving as the leading role is won and eight medals are paid out when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. On the other hand, in the game in which one of the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8 has been won, the main downswing bell, which is the main part, is won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure and three medals are paid out. Be For this reason, when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is elected, the operation procedure is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure than when one of the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8 is elected. Since the number of medals to be paid out often increases, it can be said that the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are more advantageous than the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8.

  Among the pushing order bells, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 which are the parts with high degree of advantage are referred to as the first pushing order bell, and the bell having the degree of advantage lower than the first pushing order bell. 5-8, 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. Furthermore, in the game in which the first push order bell is selected among the push order bells, the degree of advantage is higher when operated in the corresponding operation procedure than in the game in which the second push order bell is won.

[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. In FIG. 18, the display result at the middle bell 1 win is shown as an example of the first pushing order bell, and the 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. 18, 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. 18) 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 middle bell 5 is won, when operated in the corresponding operation procedure (first stop in middle), the leading role in which the number of medals paid out is different (small) from the number of medals in middle bell 1 . 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 step as the side step (in the example of FIG. 18, 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, the protagonist with a large amount of payout depending on which of the first push order bell and the second push order bell is the push order bell won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. Since it is different whether the protagonist with a low payout or the protagonist with a small payout is won, it is possible to raise the interest of the player for the type of display result derived when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure. It can be done.

  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.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, 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. 17, 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.

[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. 19 is a flow chart that conceptualizes the contents of the processing in order to explain the reel control processing at the time of winning in the push order bell. In addition, in FIG. 19, the symbol of each reel constituting the main character is referred to as the "main symbol", and the symbol of each reel constituting the auxiliary character is "the auxiliary symbol", each constituting the dropped portion 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]
While referring to FIGS. 20 to 23, 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. FIGS. 20 to 23 show the situation after the main character is missed (that is, the process after S50 in FIG. 19).

  Referring to FIG. 20, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, right first stop, left second stop, middle third stop different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of the derivation result will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (A), when the right first stop is performed, the auxiliary symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 20 (A)) is led out onto the pay line LN on the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 20 (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. 20 (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. 20C, since the pushing order bell that 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. 21, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the right first stop, middle second stop, 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. 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 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. 21 (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 stage 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. 21C, since the pushing order bell that has been won is 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. 22, 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. 22A, when the first left stop is performed, the auxiliary symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 22A) is drawn on the payline LN on the left reel 2L 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.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (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. 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.

  Referring to FIG. 23, 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. 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 right second stop is performed, "BAR", which is a side symbol, is drawn onto pay line LN. As shown in FIG. 23 (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. 23 (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. 20-23, 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 is made. 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. 20 to FIG. 23, the outset eyes are derived without deriving the transition eyes. 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. 20 to 23, 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, the main character such as the middle bell from which eight medals are paid out or the right down bell from which three medals are paid out when operated in the corresponding operation procedure according to the winning combination. In contrast to winning, when it is operated by an operating procedure other than the corresponding operating procedure, an auxiliary character such as an upper bell from which one medal is paid out wins a prize, or a missed shot from which a medal is not paid out 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.

  In the case of winning the first pushing order bell, the middle bell, in which eight medals are paid out as the leading role when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure, wins, but in the case of winning the second pushing order bell, When operated in the operation procedure, the lower right bell is awarded, in which three medals less than the middle bell are paid out as the leading role. 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. A player's interest can be gathered about the type of protagonist who won when operated in the response operation procedure.

  Furthermore, since the middle bell, which is the protagonist when winning the first pushing order bell, has a higher advantage in that the number of payouts is larger than that of the right falling bell, which is the protagonist when the second pushing order bell is won, The player can be pleased when the middle bell is won in the game in which the first bell is won. 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 lower right bell is won in the game winning the second pushing order bell, the player There is no loss.

  In the game in which the downhill bell has won, the bet number is set using three medals, but three medals are paid out, so 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.

  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. 19, after dropping the leading role, it is determined whether the third stop was performed at the secondary symbol draw-in timing or at a timing other than the secondary symbol draw-in timing. 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, the forward press 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 the non-AT, the player can not determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell as long as the player operates in the recommended procedure. Even in the case where the player wins the protagonist with a large number of medals paid out, it is possible to prevent giving a sense of regret to the player, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

[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.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a lottery mode lottery is performed to determine which one of the normal mode and the high probability mode the AT lottery mode is to be set. The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a predetermined lottery condition (in the present embodiment, normal cherries and weak cherries are won or strong cherries are won at the time of AT) is established based on a command from the main control unit 41. If it is determined, the lottery mode lottery is executed.

  The lottery mode indicates the winning probability of the navi stock number applied to the AT lottery. The high probability mode can be expected to obtain more navigation stock numbers than the normal mode. Normally, when the lottery mode lottery conditions are satisfied by winning weak cherry at RT 0 to 4, a lottery mode lottery is performed by random number lottery or the like.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining an example of the lottery condition which is a trigger for executing the AT lottery. FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery. The AT lottery condition is satisfied when a cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won at RT0 to RT4.

  When the lottery mode is the normal mode (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or the SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, the table shown in FIG. The AT lottery is performed with reference to.

  When the AT lottery conditions are satisfied when the normal · RT 0 to 4 and the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won when the lottery mode is the high probability mode, the AT lottery condition is established. The AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown.

  When the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of BB, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  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 being controlled by AT, when the predetermined number of games in regular / RT1 or normal / RT0 are controlled or in regular / RT0 or normal / RT2, the navistock number is consumed (subtracted) by 1 While the start condition to the AT is satisfied and the navi effect of a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is executed, control is made to ART which is RT and AT having a high probability of winning the replay player combination. When one navistock number is consumed, the AT flag indicating the navistock number decremented by 1 is updated.

  The sub-control unit 91 uses a predetermined AT at the time of consuming one navistock in the AT management process, that is, when transitioning from normal RT1 to normal RT0 or when a predetermined number of games has passed in normal RT0 or normal RT2. Control to AT only the number of games. In the present embodiment, the number of AT games of 50 games per navigation stock is controlled, but may be another number of AT games.

  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 the normal RT0 or the normal RT2 is generated, the possibility that the transition appearances are aligned is increased, and the possibility of being controlled to the normal RT1 is increased.

  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 a navigation effect when any of the push order bells is won, a corresponding operation procedure for reliably winning a downhill bell or a middle bell is informed.

  Furthermore, by performing the navi effect, it is possible to make a promotion replay winning which is intentionally won, a special replay winning, an SP replay winning, a bell winning be made to win, and a fall replay winning avoided.

[AT related processing]
The AT-related processing when being controlled to RT4 (ready state) will be described with reference to FIG. The AT-related process is a process executed by the sub control unit 91 at a timing for advancing a game in one game (when the start switch 7 is operated, when the first stop or the second stop, etc.).

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the navigation stock is obtained (the AT flag is stored) (S410). When the sub control unit 9 acquires the navigation stock (Y in S410), the sub control unit 9 determines whether or not the navigation target combination is won (S420). On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 has not acquired the navigation stock (N in S410), the sub control unit 91 ends the AT related processing.

  When the sub-control unit 91 wins the navigation target combination (Y in S420), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the navigation target combination determined to be won is the transition outcome derivation possible combination (S430). On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 does not win the navigation target combination (N in S420), the sub control unit 91 ends the AT related processing.

  When it is determined that the navigation object combination determined to be won is not a transition outcome combination derivable combination (N in S430), the sub control unit 91 executes navigation effect. For example, when the navigation target combination determined to be won is a transition outcome derivation impossible combination, a corresponding operation procedure for winning a leading role of the transition outcome derivation impossible combination is notified. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that the navigation target combination determined to be won is a transition outcome derivable combination (Y in S430), the AT related processing ends.

  Here, when it is controlled to RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired when the navigation stock is won, the navigation effect is executed, and when the navigation target winning is the combination that can not be derived, the navigation target winning won The reason why the navigation effect is not performed when the player can be derived is described.

  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.

[Navi production]
The navi effect in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, with reference to FIGS. 27 (a-1) and (a-2), the aspect of the navi effect in the game in which the mid bell was won during AT and the aspect of the effect control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure will be described. .

  In the present embodiment, the middle bell 1 to 4 of the first pushing order bells in which the middle bell with high degree of advantage is won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure and the middle step when operated in the corresponding operation procedure Among bells 5 to 8 among the second pushing order bells in which the right and lower bell having a lower degree of advantage than the bell wins, the aspect of the navi presentation and the aspect of the presentation control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure are different. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won during the AT, a circled number indicating the stop operation order is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The image is displayed. When one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won, a numerical image indicating the middle and left stop operation order is displayed in order of “3”, “1” and “2”. Further, at a slightly delayed timing, the speakers 53 and 54 output a voice of “medium !!” prompting the first stop.

  When the first stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image notifying that the stop operation is performed is displayed overlapping the number image of "1" and at the upper right of the screen, "Nice !!" A text image is displayed. Thereafter, the display of the numeral image of “1” disappears and the display of the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” also disappear. Furthermore, at a timing slightly delayed, a sound of “right !!” prompting the second right stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image is displayed overlapping the number image of "2", and a character image of "Nice !!" is displayed on the upper right of the screen. Thereafter, the display of the numeral image of “2” disappears and the display of the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” also disappear. Further, at a slightly delayed timing, a sound of “left !!” prompting the left third stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  When the third stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image is displayed overlapping the number image of "3", and a character image of "Nice !!" is displayed on the upper right of the screen. After that, the display of the numeral image of “3” disappears and the display of the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” also disappear (illustration is omitted).

  When the stop operation is not performed according to the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” may not be displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), when one of the middle bells 5 to 8 is won during the AT, a circled number indicating the stop operation order is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The image is displayed. When one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won, a numerical image indicating the middle and left stop operation order is displayed in order of “3”, “1” and “2”. The numeral image displayed at this time is smaller than the numeral image displayed when any of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 27 (a-1) is won. Furthermore, at a slightly delayed timing, the speakers 53 and 54 output a "medium" sound prompting for a first stop. The sound notified at this time is smaller in volume than the sound notified when any of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 27 (a-1) is won.

  When the first stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image such as when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 27 (a-1) is won is also a character of "Nice !!" The display of the numeral image of "1" disappears without the image being displayed either. Furthermore, at a timing slightly delayed, the right sound representing that the second right stop is requested is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The sound output at this time has a volume smaller than that of the sound output when any of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 27A-1 is won.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, neither the star-shaped notification image nor the character image of "Nice !!" is displayed, and the display of the numeral image of "2" disappears. Furthermore, at a slightly delayed timing, the “left” voice urging the left third stop is output from the speakers 53, 54. The sound output at this time is smaller in volume than the sound output when any of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won.

  When the third stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, neither the star-shaped notification image nor the character image of "Nice !!" is displayed, and the display of the numeral image of "3" disappears (illustration is omitted).

  As shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), in the navi effect when the middle bell 1 to 4 which is the first pushing order bell is won, the number image indicating the stop operation order on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is large While being displayed, it is performed in an effect mode in which sound prompting the stop operation is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a large volume. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), in the navigation effect when the middle bell 5-8 is won as the second pushing order bell, the stop operation order is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. An effect is shown in which the number image to be displayed is smaller than when the middle bell 1 to 4 is won, and the sound prompting the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is output at a smaller volume than when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected It takes place in an aspect. For this reason, the player, when the navigation effect is executed, by winning the middle bell 1 to 4, which is the first pushing order bell in which the protagonist with a high degree of merit wins, by confirming the effect mode of the navigation effect It is possible to recognize whether it has been won or the middle bell 5-8, which is the second pushing order bell in which the main character with a low degree of advantage is won.

  As described above, the navi effect is executed in different modes according to the type of pushing order bell, that is, which of the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell is won. The interest of the player can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

  In the navi effect when the middle bell 1 to 4, which is the first pushing order bell, is won, the numeric image is displayed larger than the navi effect when the middle bell 5 to 8 which is the second pushing order bell is elected. At the same time, since the sound prompting for the stop operation is output at a large volume, the corresponding operation procedure is emphasized and notified. Thereby, the interest of the player can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

  On the other hand, during the non-AT where the navi effect is not executed, the common normal effect is executed regardless of which push order bell is won, and the derived side effects and missed items are taken as a clue The player can not determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell. Thus, during the AT, depending on the aspect of the navi production, whether the main bell with a high degree of merit has won the first pushing order bell to win the middle bell 1 to 4 or the main role with a low degree of merit is won While it is possible to recognize whether it has won the middle bell 5-8, which is a two-pushed order bell, during the non-AT, it is judged whether it has won the first pushed order bell or the second pushed order bell Because it is not possible to recognize what has been done, the game characteristics change according to the state, and the interest of the game is improved.

  If it is possible to determine whether the winning combination is the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell based on the derived side line and the falling side eye as a clue, the first pushing is performed. When the player recognizes that he has missed the leading role when the player is won in the order bell, a sense of regret may be given to the player, and the interest of the game may be reduced. 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 in which the first push order bell has been won, and prevents the decline in the fun of the game. be able to.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), in the game in which the first bell is won in the middle bell 1 to 4, it is stopped when operated in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect While a star-shaped notification image for notifying that it has been operated is displayed overlapping the number image, an effect such as a character image of “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), in the game in which the second bell is awarded to the middle bells 5 to 8, when operated in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect However, neither a star-shaped notification image nor a character image of "Nice !!" is displayed. For this reason, the player checks the control mode of the effect when the player operates in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navi effect, and thereby, the middle bell 1 to be the first pushing order bell in which the protagonist with a high degree of advantage is won. It is possible to recognize whether the player has won 4 or has won the middle bell 5 to 8 which is the second pushing order bell in which the main character with low degree of advantage wins. In addition, when operated with the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image is displayed overlapping the number image, and the character image of "Nice !!" is displayed in the upper right of the screen. It is possible to make the player expect the effect to be executed and to improve the interest of the game.

  As described above, the control mode of the effect is determined according to the type of pushing order bell that has been won, ie, the first pushing order bell and the second pushing order bell when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. Because they are different, the player's interest in the control mode of the effect can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), an explanation will be given of the aspect of the navi effect in the game in which the right bell is won during AT and the aspect of the effect control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. Do.

  In the present embodiment, the right bell 1 to 4 of the first pushing order bells in which the middle bell with high degree of advantage is won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure and the middle step when operated in the corresponding operation procedure With the right bell 5 to 8 of the second pushing order bells where the lower right bell with a lower degree of advantage than the bell wins, the form of the navi effect is the same, but the effect when operated in the corresponding operation procedure The mode of control differs only at the third stop.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), even when the right bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 5 to 8 are won during the AT, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed. A circled number image indicating the stop operation order is displayed small. Furthermore, the sound prompting the stop operation in the corresponding operation procedure is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a small volume.

  When the first stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image of "Nice !!" are also displayed when any of the right bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 5 to 8 is won. Instead, the display of the numeral image of "1" disappears.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image of "Nice !!" are also displayed when any of the right bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 5 to 8 is won. Instead, the display of the "2" digit image disappears.

  When the third stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, if any of the right bells 1 to 4 is won, a star-shaped notification image is displayed overlapping the number image of "3" and the upper right of the screen The character image of "Nice !!" is displayed on. After that, the display of the numeral image of “3” disappears and the display of the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” also disappear (illustration is omitted). On the other hand, if one of the right bells 5 to 8 is won, the display of the numeral image of “3” disappears without displaying the star-shaped notification image and the character image of “Nice !!” Is omitted).

  As shown in FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), the navi effect when the first bell is won to the right bell 1 to 4 and the second bell to the right bell 5 is selected. In the navi effect when 8 is won, the navi effect is the same. For this reason, even when the navi effect is executed, the player has won the right bell 1 to 4 which is the first pushing order bell in which the protagonist with a high degree of advantage wins with the clue to the aspect of the navi effect, or It can not be recognized whether the main character with a low degree of interest has won the second bell in order to win the right bell 5-8.

  Furthermore, in the game winning the right bell 1 to 4 that is the first pushing order bell and the game winning the right bell 5 to 8 that is the second pushing order bell, the operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. Even if it is done, the control mode of the effect is the same until the second stop. For this reason, even when the player operates up to the second stop by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navi effect, the first pushing order bell in which the protagonist with a high degree of advantage wins with the clue as the control mode of the effect at the time of operation. It can not be recognized whether a certain right bell 1 to 4 has been won or a low winning main character has won a second pushing order bell for winning the right bell 5 to 8.

  On the other hand, in the game in which the right bells 1 to 4 which are the first pushing order bells are won, the fact that the stop operation is performed is notified when the third stop operation is performed in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. An effect is performed such that a star-shaped notification image is displayed so as to overlap the number image and a character image of "Nice !!" is displayed on the upper right of the screen. On the other hand, in the game in which the right bells 5 to 8 which are the second pushing order bells are won, even when the third stop operation is performed in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image is The character image of "Nice !!" is not displayed either. For this reason, the player confirms the control mode of the effect when operating up to the third stop according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navi effect, and by the first pushing order bell in which the protagonist with a high degree of merit finally wins It can be recognized whether a bell 4 to 4 has been won or a bell 5 to 8 which is a second pushing order bell in which a main character with a low degree of advantage is won.

  As described above, when the third operation is performed up to the third stop in the corresponding operation procedure, the type of pushing order bell that has been won, ie, the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell, is selected depending on which is won. The control mode is finally different. Therefore, it is possible to make the player feel tense and perform the stop operation until the stop operation at the time when the display result for generating the winning is finally derived, and for the control mode of the effect at the time of the final stop. Thus, the interest of the player can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

  In addition, depending on the type of winning combination, it is determined whether the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell has been won, with the clue being the control mode of the effect when operated by the effect mode of the navi effect or the corresponding operation procedure. It may not be possible. In this way, even during AT, it is possible to determine to the player whether the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell has been won by deriving the side effect and the appearance of the side effect. Can be prevented from giving a feeling of regret.

[Prize-related processing]
The winning a prize related processing executed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG. The sub control unit 91 executes a prize effect related process when the player has made a third stop. Specifically, when the sub control unit 91 receives a reel stop command for each of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel from the main control unit 41 (that is, when one game is over), the prize effect related process is performed. Run.

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation is performed according to the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing during non-AT, response operating procedure notified during AT and navigation effect, during forward driving during AT and non-navigation effect) To do (S510).

  When the sub control unit 91 is operated in the recommended operation procedure (Y in S510), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a small winning combination has occurred (S520). When the minor winning combination has not occurred (N in S520), the sub control unit 91 ends the prize related process. On the other hand, when the small winning combination occurs (Y in S520), the sub control unit 91 executes a winning notification process of notifying that the small winning combination has occurred as a result of the operation in the recommended operation procedure (S530). Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 notifies the payout information in the recommended operation mode (S540).

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the acquired number while counting up on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the payout of the medal due to the occurrence of the small winning combination. For example, when the middle bell is won, the number of cards obtained is updated as "one sheet" "two sheets" ... "seven sheets" "eight sheets". Furthermore, the sub control unit 91 outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 53 and 54 each time the sub control unit 91 is updated. In this manner, by notifying the payout information in the recommended operation mode, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the small winning combination is achieved as a result of the operation in the recommended operation procedure. Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 ends the winning a prize related processing.

  On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is not operated in the recommended operation procedure (when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure) (N in S510), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the control is performed in the penalty period (S550). ). The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the penalty period is controlled based on whether or not the penalty flag is stored in the RAM 91 c in the process of S570.

  When the sub control unit 91 is not controlled in the penalty period (N in S550), the sub control unit 91 executes a penalty lottery for determining whether to control in the penalty period (S560). In the penalty lottery, it is determined whether or not to control in the penalty period by random number lottery. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the penalty period is controlled with a probability of 95%, and not determined to be the penalty period with a probability of 5%. Note that these probabilities may be other values, and may be controlled to the penalty period whenever they are operated in the non-recommended operation procedure. In the game in which the navi effect is executed, the player is disadvantageous not only in the penalty period but also in losing the protagonist winning if it is operated in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not to control in the penalty period (S570). When the sub-control unit 91 determines to control in the penalty period (Y in S570), the sub-control unit 91 controls in the penalty period and stores the penalty flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c to shift to the processing of S590.

  On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled in the penalty period (Y in S550) or when it is determined not to control in the penalty period (N in S570), the sub control unit 91 proceeds to the process of S590.

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a small winning combination has occurred (S590). When the minor winning combination has not occurred (N in S 590), the sub control unit 91 ends the prize related process. On the other hand, when the minor winning combination occurs (Y in S590), the sub-control unit 91 reports the payout information in the non-recommended operation mode without executing the winning notification process (S540).

  Specifically, the sub control unit 91 displays the acquired number without counting up on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the payout of the medal due to the occurrence of the small winning combination. For example, when winning in the middle bell, only the number of acquired "8" is displayed. Furthermore, unlike the recommended operation mode, the speakers 53 and 54 do not output a predetermined sound. As described above, when the payout information is notified in the non-recommended operation mode, it is more difficult for the player to recognize that the small winning combination is won than in the case where the payout information is notified in the recommended operation mode. Thereafter, the sub control unit 91 ends the winning a prize related processing.

  Furthermore, when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the prize notification process at the time of the small winning combination as performed when operated in the recommended operation procedure is not executed. As described above, in the game operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the execution of the prize notification process is restricted (prohibited), and thus the player is notified that the small winning combination is won like when the operation is performed in the recommended operation procedure. It is possible to prevent the impression. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate in the recommended operation procedure.

[Prize notification process]
The winning notification process will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 29A shows an effect mode at the time of winning when the middle bell 1 is won in a game in which the navi effect is not executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (a-1), when the upper bell 2 wins as a result of being pushed in order as a recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is not performed, a winning notification process is executed. When the informing notification process is executed, the reel LED 55 corresponding to the symbol (that is, the bell-bell-bell arranged on the upper line LM) that allows the player to directly recognize that the upper bell 2 has won. Lights up and a predetermined sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54. By executing such a prize notification process, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the upper bell 2 has won.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29 (a-2), as a result of the irregular push (a stop operation different from the orderly push) being a non-recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is not performed Notification processing is not performed. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize that the middle bell has won a prize as hard as possible.

  FIG. 29B shows an effect mode at the time of winning when the middle bell 1 is won in the game in which the navigation effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (b-1), when a player wins a middle bell as a result of operating according to the notified corresponding operation procedure which is a recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is performed, the winning notification process is executed. Ru. When the informing notification process is executed, the reel LED 55 corresponding to the symbol (that is, the bell-bell-bell arranged on the payline LN) can be made to allow the player to directly recognize that the middle bell has won the prize. While lighting up, a predetermined sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54. By executing such a prize notification process, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the middle bell has won.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29 (b-2), when the upper bell 2 wins as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure which is a non-recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is executed Not run. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize that the upper bell 2 has won a prize as hard as possible.

  As described above, as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the execution of the informing notification process is restricted even if the small winning combination is won, so that the small combination winning as in the case of being operated in the recommended operation procedure is It is possible to prevent the player from being impressed. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate in the recommended operation procedure.

[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. 30 shows the transition of the gaming state in the slot machine 1 having the two RT states and the CB state. 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".

  The CB 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 mode of navi production]
In the present embodiment, the navigation effect for the first push order bell whose advantage is enhanced when operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect is that the numeric image is displayed large and the speakers 53 and 54 It is an effect aspect that the sound which urges the stop operation is output at a large volume. On the other hand, in the navigation effect for the second pushing order bell that the advantage does not increase more than the first pushing order bell when operated in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the numeric image is displayed small and the speaker 53 , 54 is an effect aspect such that a sound prompting the stop operation is output at a small volume. However, the way of making the presentation aspect different between the role with high degree of advantage and the role with low degree of advantage is not limited to this.

  For example, the type and density of the color image of the navi effect on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, and the number of colors used, when the player has won the part with high degree of interest and the person with low degree of interest. May be different. Different character images may be displayed depending on whether the player has won the high-degree combination or the combination of the low-degree combination. The character image may be displayed only when the player has won a role with high degree of advantage. The type of voice for prompting the stop operation may be different depending on when the winning combination is won and the winning combination is won. The type of the effect produced by the LED may be different depending on when the player has won the part with high degree of advantage and when the part with low degree of advantage is selected. The LED effect may be executed only when the player has won a high degree of advantage.

  Furthermore, when winning the role of high degree of advantage, the navigation effect by the effect of on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, the effect by the audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, and the effect by the LED is performed. On the other hand, when a winning combination with a low degree of interest is won, navigation effects by two or less of these effects may be executed. When winning a role with a high degree of advantage, it is possible to make the navigation effect mode more flashy more times than when winning a role with a low degree of advantage. When winning a role with a high degree of advantage, it emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, such as emphasizing the corresponding operation procedure, than when winning a role with low degree of advantage, making it easy to make an impression on the player do it. In addition, if it is a presentation mode that allows the player to recognize whether the winning combination has won the combination of high degree of advantage or the combination of low degree of advantage, the navi effect is performed in any of the effect modes. It may be

  In the present embodiment, in a game in which the player has won a combination with high degree of advantage during AT (for example, middle bell 1 to 4), the number image is always displayed large, and the stop operation is urged from the speakers 53 and 54. The navigation effect is performed in the effect mode in which the sound is output at a large volume. On the other hand, in a game in which the player wins a combination of low degree of interest during AT (for example, middle bell 5 to 8), the numeric image is always displayed small and the sound prompting the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is small. The navigation effect is performed in the output mode. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game in which the AT has a high degree of advantage during the AT, a flashy effect mode (for example, a large numeric image is displayed with a higher probability than a game in which the low in the AT is elected during the AT). The navigation effect may be performed in the effect mode in which the sound prompting the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is output at a large volume). On the other hand, in a game in which the AT wins a role with low interest during AT, a modest effect mode (for example, a numeric image is displayed in a smaller size) with a higher probability than a game winning with a high interest during AT. The navigation effect may be performed in an effect mode in which the sound prompting the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is output at a small volume. In this way as well, it is highly possible that the player is highly likely to have won the part with a high degree of advantage by confirming the mode of the navi effect when the navi effect is executed, or the degree of the advantage is low. It is possible to recognize whether it is highly likely to win the winning combination.

  In this manner, since the navi effect is executed in different effect modes depending on the type of the winning combination, the player's interest in the effect mode of the navi effect can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

[About the control mode of the effect at the time of operation by the corresponding operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, the star-shaped notification image is displayed when the navigation operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure at the time of the navigation effect with respect to the first pushing order bell whose advantage is enhanced when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. While being displayed, the effect that a character image of "Nice !!" is displayed is executed. On the other hand, when it is operated by the corresponding operation procedure at the time of the navigation operation with respect to the second pushing order bell that the advantage is not higher than the first pushing order bell when operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, Neither the notification image nor the character image of "Nice !!" was displayed. However, the way of controlling the presentation at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure between the combination of high degree of interest and the low degree of combination is not limited to this.

  For example, when winning a combination of high degree of advantage, the effect at the time of operation is executed, and when winning a combination of low degree of advantage, the operation is not limited to one which does not execute the effect at the time of operation. You may perform the effect of time. In this case, when the winning combination is won, the presentation at the time of operation may be made more flashy to make it easier for the player to make an impression than when the winning combination is low.

  Furthermore, when winning a winning combination of high degree of advantage, while performing effects at all operations from the time of the first stop operation to the time of third stopping operation, when winning combination of low degree of interest, the first An effect may be performed at the time of a part of operation from the time of stop operation to the time of third stop operation. When the player has won a role with a high degree of advantage, the effect at the time of operation may be performed more times than when winning with a low degree of role. When winning a role with a high degree of advantage, unlike when winning a role with a low degree of interest, during the operation according to the corresponding operation procedure, the effect at the time of operation is executed or the effect mode at the time of operation is flashy To make it easy for the player to make an impression. In addition, as long as it is an effect control mode at the time of operation that allows the player to recognize whether the winning combination has won the combination of high degree of advantage or the combination of low degree of advantage, It may be.

  In the present embodiment, in a game in which the player is elected to a player with high degree of advantage during AT (for example, middle bell 1 to 4), the effect at the time of operation is always executed while In a game in which a low winning combination (for example, middle bell 5 to 8) was won, the effect at the time of operation was not necessarily executed. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game in which the AT has a high degree of advantage during the AT, control is performed to execute the effect at the time of operation with a higher probability than the game in which the low degree of achievement is in the AT. Good. On the other hand, in a game in which the player wins a combination with a low degree of advantage during AT, control is performed in which the effect at the time of operation is not performed with a higher probability than a game won in combination with a high degree of interest in AT. Good. Alternatively, in a game in which the player is elected to a high degree of advantage during AT, a flashy presentation mode (for example, a star-shaped notification image is displayed with a higher probability than a game in which the low degree of advantage is won during AT. Control may be performed to execute the effect at the time of operation in the effect mode in which the character image of “Nice !!” is displayed. On the other hand, in a game in which the AT wins a role with a low degree of interest, a modest effect mode (for example, only a star-shaped notification image is displayed with a higher probability than a game in which a AT with a high degree of interest is won in the AT). Control may be performed to execute an effect at the time of operation according to the

  As described above, since the control mode of the effect differs depending on the type of the winning combination, the player's interest in the control mode of the effect can be gathered, and the interest of the game is improved.

[About the role that the effect control mode at the time of operation is different in the effect mode of the navi effect and the corresponding operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, the navi presentation effect is produced when the middle bell 1 to 4 of the first push order bells are won and the middle bell 5 to 8 of the second push order bells are elected. The control mode at the time of operation was made to differ by the mode and the corresponding operation procedure. Furthermore, when the right bell 1 to 4 of the first push order bell is won and the right bell 5 to 8 of the second push order bell is won, the control mode at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure Was different. As described above, in the present embodiment, the small part with the same degree of correspondence operation procedure for winning the leading part is compared, and the small part with the high degree of advantage and the small part with the low degree of navigation The control mode at the time of operation was made to differ by the production | presentation aspect of presentation, and the corresponding | compatible operation procedure. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, when the right bell 1 to 4 of the first push order bell is won, control is performed such that navigation effects are executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and effects are performed at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure. On the other hand, when the player wins the right bell 5-8 of the second push order bell, the navigation effect is executed in a more modest presentation mode than when the right bell 1-4 is won, and the corresponding operation procedure Even if it operates by, control which does not perform the presentation at the time of operation may be performed. In this way, whether the main character with a high degree of interest has won the right bell 1 to 4 or the second pushing bell with a low main character has won the middle bell 5 to 8 The player can be made to recognize the player by the effect mode of the navi effect and the control mode at the time of the operation, and the player's interest can be gathered for the effect mode of the navi effect and the control mode at the time of the operation.

  Not limited to the small winning combination, when the player wins the re-playing role, the control mode at the time of operation may be different depending on the type of the navi effect and the corresponding operation procedure according to the type of winning combination. For example, when it is operated by the first pushing order rep on which the promotion replay to shift to an advantageous gaming state is operated when operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, and by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation operation A second push-through rep may be provided as a lottery target combination in which the maintenance replay that does not shift to a gaming state advantageous to (for example, maintaining the gaming state) is won. In this case, when the first push order lip is won, the navigation effect is executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and control is performed to execute the effect at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure. When 2 wins order lip is won, the navigation effect is executed in a modest effect mode than when the 1st push order lip is won, and the control that does not execute the effect at the time of operation even if operated by the corresponding operation procedure is performed. It may be known.

  The control mode at the time of operation may be made different depending on the effect mode of the navi effect and the corresponding operation procedure between when the specific small winning combination is won and when the specific re-playing combination is won. For example, in a game in which a specific small winning combination is won, when it is operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, a bonus (for example, provision of navigation stock, improvement of AT winning probability, bonus effect, portable to external server device It is operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect in the game in which the specific re-playing combination is won, while the awarding of points which can acquire the benefit etc. is given by communicating using the terminal. Sometimes, a benefit is not granted, or a benefit with a lower degree of advantage than when winning a specific small role (for example, there is less grant of navigation stock, a small improvement in AT winning probability, a part of benefit presentation, points Or the like may be given. In this case, when a specific small combination to which a benefit with a high degree of advantage is awarded, the navigation effect is executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and control is performed to execute the effect at the time of operation in the corresponding operation procedure. When a player wins a specific re-playing combination in which a benefit is not given or a benefit with a low degree of advantage is given, a navigation effect is executed in a more modest presentation mode than when a specific small combination is won. And even if it operates by a corresponding | compatible operation procedure, control which does not perform the presentation at the time of operation may be performed.

  The relationship between the specific small winning combination and the specific re-playing combination may be opposite to the above. That is, when a player wins a specific re-playing combination to which a benefit with a high degree of merit is awarded, control is performed to execute navigation effects in a flashy presentation mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure and to execute the effect during operation in the corresponding operation procedure. When a player wins a specific small combination where a benefit is not given or a benefit with a low degree of advantage is given, the navi effect is executed in a more modest presentation mode than when a specific replay combination is won, And even if it operates by a corresponding | compatible operation procedure, control which does not perform the presentation at the time of operation may be performed.

  Note that the first pushing order bell with high degree of advantage included both the middle and right bells, and the second pushing order bell with low degree of advantage also included both the middle and right bells. Not limited to this. For example, while the first pushing order bell with high degree of freedom includes only one of the middle and right bells, the second pushing order bell with low degree of interest includes the middle and right bells. Both may be included. Alternatively, while the first push order bell with high degree of advantage includes both the middle and right bells, the second push order bell with low degree of advantage includes either the middle bell or the right bell. May be included. Furthermore, the left bell set in the corresponding operation procedure to the left first stop may be included in the first pushing order bell or the second pushing order bell.

  In the present embodiment, the first pushing order bell has a higher degree of advantage than the second pushing order bell in that eight medals more than three are paid out when the main character wins. . However, it is not limited to this. For example, the protagonist of the first push order bell may be less or the same number of medals paid out as the protagonist of the second push order bell. In this case, in terms of the number of medals paid out, the first push order bell has an advantage lower than that of the second push order bell or the same degree of advantage. However, the first push order bell is a second push order bell, whereas a bonus (for example, giving of a navistock, improvement of AT winning probability, execution of a bonus effect, etc.) is given when the main character wins. The first push order bell may have an advantage higher than that of the second push order bell in that no bonus is awarded even if the leading role is won.

[About the leading role]
In the present embodiment, the number of medals paid out for the leading role differs between when the first pushing order bell is won and when the second pushing order bell is won. For example, while the number of medals paid out when the protagonist of middle bell 1 (middle bell) wins is eight, the number of medals paid out when the protagonist of middle bell 5 (down-right bell) is won is three. There were differences in the degree of advantage depending on the difference in the number of medals paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the first winning order bell and the second pressing order bell have different degrees of advantage at the time of winning the main winning combination.

  For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a predetermined bonus is awarded when the middle bell having a large number of medals paid out and the right downhill bell having a small number of medals paid out does not award the predetermined bonus. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to further enlarge the 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.

  For example, when the right-down bell with a small number of medals paid out wins, even if a middle bell with a large number of medals paid out is awarded while a predetermined benefit (for example, execution of AT lottery or execution of bonus effect) is awarded. The configuration may be such that the predetermined benefit is not given (hereinafter, referred to as "first configuration"). In the case of such a configuration, since the bonus is given even if the downhill bell with a small number of medals paid out is awarded, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  For example, the medal payout number at the middle bell prize and at the lower right bell prize is the same number, and the advantage is obtained by giving a predetermined benefit at the time of either the middle bell prize and the lower right bell prize. Difference may be provided.

  In addition, since the winning probability of the push order bell is set relatively high, it is preferable that the advantage of the benefit to be given is not very high. For example, when the benefit is the AT lottery, the probability that the number of navistocks given is "0" is "95%" and the probability that the number of navistocks given is "1" is "5 % And so on.

  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, if the display results of the main character are different between the first push order bell and the second push order bell, and the degree of advantage when the main role is derived is different, the first push order bell and the second push order bell are different. The protagonists may be the same.

  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, while the protagonist of the first push order bell is aligned across three lines, the protagonist of the second push order bell is identical to that of the first push order bell and in one line It is good also as what is aligned across. 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 "Bell-Bell-Bell" is a role that is aligned across one line. In addition, nine medals are paid out when "bell-bell-bell" is aligned across three lines, whereas three medals are discharged when "bell-bell-bell" is aligned 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 first push order bell and the second push order bell may have different combinations of winning combinations. 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.

[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. .

[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-operational 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 condition under which the AT lottery is executed is described as the condition established by winning the AT lottery combination shown in FIG. 24, but it is not limited thereto. 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.

[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 left first stop (forward press). 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, the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation effect is the left first stop (forward push), and the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of navigation effect is the notified operation procedure. Explained that there is. 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 payment information]
In the present embodiment, as the display mode of the payout information, the recommended operation mode is a mode in which the number of medals paid out is updated and displayed by the count-up method according to the payout of medals, but the non-recommended operation mode Is a mode of displaying the number of medals paid out so as not to be updated and displayed. However, as long as the non-recommended operation mode is an aspect that makes it more difficult for the player to recognize the payout information than the recommended operation mode, the recommended operation mode and the non-recommended operation mode may be any mode.

  For example, the recommended operation mode may be an aspect in which an effect is applied to the payout information, while the non-recommended operation mode may be an aspect in which the payout information is not applied. The effect is, for example, displaying the payout information in a blinking manner or displaying the payout information in a glowing manner. The recommended operation mode is an aspect in which the payout information is displayed in an opaque manner, while the non-recommended operation mode may be a mode in which the payout information is displayed in a transparent manner. The recommended operation mode may be an aspect in which payout information is displayed together with a predetermined character, while the non-recommended operation mode may be an aspect in which the predetermined character is not displayed. While the recommended operation time mode is an aspect in which a specific sound is output and the payout information is displayed, the non-recommended operation time aspect is also an aspect in which the payout information is displayed without outputting the specific sound. Good. Here, the specific sound is, for example, predetermined music (BGM) or a sound for notifying the number of medals to be paid out (for example, a sound of “eight sheets!”).

  Notification of the payout information may be performed by other rendering means (rendering effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc.) without displaying on the liquid crystal display 51 or displaying on the liquid crystal display 51. . The slot machine 1 is provided with three effect means of the effect effect LED 52, the speaker 53, and the 54 reel LED 55. While the recommended operation time aspect is displayed with N (N is an integer of 1 or more) effect means and the payout information is displayed, the non-recommended operation time aspect is M (N is an integer of 0 or more) effect means At the same time, the payout information is displayed. However, N> M. In the non-recommended operation mode, as compared with the recommended operation mode, not only the number of effect means for performing effects may be reduced but also the effect in the recommended operation mode may be reduced. The reduction of the rendering effect means, for example, in the case of the non-recommended operation mode, reducing the volume of the speaker in the non-recommended operation mode as compared with the recommended operation mode when the effect means is the speakers 53, 54.

  In the present embodiment, the payout information is a message that can specify the number of medals paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any information may be used as long as it can specify the number of medals paid out. For example, it may be a character that can be associated with the number of medals paid out. After the payout information is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 or the payout information is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the payout information may be notified by other rendering means. For example, a sound (for example, a sound of "eight sheets!") For informing the number of medals may be output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  The display for displaying the payout information is not limited to the liquid crystal display 51 controlled by the sub control unit 91, but may be a display controlled by the main control unit (hereinafter referred to as "main control display"). . The main control indicator is a 7-segment type indicator such as the credit indicator 11 and the game assistance indicator 12. In the case where the main control display is configured to display the dispensing information, it is necessary to display the dispensing information in the recommended operation mode or the non-recommended operation mode, either of the recommended operation procedure and the non-recommended operation procedure It is necessary for the main control unit 41 to specify whether the operation procedure has been performed. However, since the main control unit 41 can not specify whether the game being played is a game at the time of navigation effect or a game at the time of non-navigation effect, the main control unit 41 does not It can not be identified in which operation procedure of the recommended operation procedures.

  Hereinafter, an example of a method for specifying which one of the navigation effect game and the non-navigation effect game the main control unit 41 is will be described. The ROM 41 b of the main control unit 41 stores correspondence information (table) in which one or more AT determination operation procedures are associated with a predetermined winning condition (including a loss). After performing the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 uses the one or more AT determination operation procedures associated with the predetermined winning condition, when the lottery result indicates the predetermined winning condition, for one AT determination. An operation procedure is determined, and an operation procedure command capable of specifying the one AT determination operation procedure is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. When it is a navigation effect game (for example, during AT), the sub control unit 91 notifies one AT determination operation procedure specified from the transmitted operation procedure command. The main control unit 41 counts the number of specific games operated in the notified 1 AT determination operation procedure (that is, the AT determination operation procedure determined by the main control unit 41). When the main control unit 41 determines that the counting result of the specific game number has reached a predetermined number, the main control unit 41 determines that the reached game is a game at the time of the navigation effect. The predetermined number may be 1, or may be 2 or more.

  By using such a method, the main control unit 41 can identify whether the third stopped game is the navigation effect game or the non-navigation effect game. It is also possible to identify which of the recommended operating procedures was operated. The main control unit 41 can display the payout information on the main control display in one of the recommended operation mode and the non-recommended operation mode.

  By the way, in general, a player tends not to look at the main control display of 7 segments very much, and to frequently look at the liquid crystal display 51. Therefore, the recommended operation mode may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the non-recommended operation mode may be displayed on the 7-segment main control display. That is, when the player wins as a result of being operated in the recommended operation procedure, the payout information can be easily recognized by displaying the payout information on the liquid crystal display 51, and as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, By displaying the payout information on the 7-segment main control display when winning, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the payout information.

[About the prize notification process]
In the present embodiment, the prize notification process is a process of lighting a reel LED 55 corresponding to a symbol constituting a winning combination that has won a prize and outputting a predetermined sound. However, in the winning notification process, any process may be performed as long as the player can be made aware of the winning. For example, the winning notification process may be a process of notifying the player that the winning is achieved by displaying a predetermined character on the liquid crystal display 51. The predetermined character may be, for example, a character reminiscent of a winning combination. In the winning notification process, at least one of the process of lighting the reel LED 55, the process of outputting a predetermined sound, the process of displaying a predetermined character on the liquid crystal display 51, and the process of lighting a rendering effect LED is executed. It may be

  In the present embodiment, the winning notification process is not executed when the operation is performed in the non-recommended operation procedure. However, when operated in the non-recommended operating procedure, a specific process different from the winning notification process may be executed. Here, the specific process may be a process of positively notifying the player that the operation has been performed in the non-recommended operation procedure. In the specific process in this case, for example, a character reminding that the operation is performed in the non-recommended operation procedure, for example, a negative character (for example, a character such as a skull) may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Good. A sound reminiscent of the operation in the non-recommended operation procedure, that is, a negative sound (for example, a sound such as "boo") may be output from the speakers 53, 54. By executing such a specific process, it is possible to positively recognize that the player has been operated in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  The identification process may be a process of an aspect in which it is more difficult for the player to recognize that winning is achieved than the prize notification process. For example, if the winning a prize notification process includes the process of lighting the reel LED 55, the specific process may be a process of lighting the reel LED 55 with a lower light emission amount than the winning a prize notification process. If the winning a prize notification process includes a process of outputting a predetermined sound from the speakers 53 and 54, the specific process may be a process of outputting a predetermined sound with a sound level lower than that of the prize aiding process.

  In the present embodiment, the winning presentation related processing and the winning notification processing have been described by exemplifying the game in which the winning order bell has been won. However, even in the game in which the winning order is won, the processing related to the winning a prize and the processing for notifying the winning may be executed. In this case, in S520 of FIG. 28, the player who wins when the player is operated in the recommended operation procedure in the game in which the push reverse is won (for example, when Replay GR3 is won during AT, promotion Replay 1 during non-AT) When the replay GR3 is won, the winning determination may be made for the normal replay. Furthermore, the game related processing and the notification process may be executed for the game in which all the winning combinations have been won.

  The winning notification process may be different depending on the type of winning. For example, when the middle bell wins, a message such as “middle bell win!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, while when “promotion replay 1” is won, a message such as “promotion replay win!” Is displayed. The liquid crystal display 51 is displayed. Thus, in addition to winning as a result of being operated in the recommended operation procedure, the player can be made to recognize the type of winning by executing the winning notification process according to the type of winning.

  In the present embodiment, in the determination processing of S520 and S590 in FIG. 28, it has been described that it is determined whether or not the small winning combination is won. However, in the determination processing of S104 and S118, it may be determined whether or not the player has won a re-play combination or a bonus. That is, in the determination process of S520 or S590, it may be determined whether or not any one of the winning combinations has been won. According to such a configuration, as a result of being operated in the recommended operation procedure, for example, when winning a bonus, while the prize notification processing is executed in S530, as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, it is made bonus When a prize is won, the prize notification process is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being impressed that the bonus has occurred as a result of the operation in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  As a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, when a bonus is won, a winning notification process may be executed. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify of transition to the bonus state, so that the interest of the game can be improved. As a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, when a bonus is won, a winning notification process may be executed. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify of transition to the bonus state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  As a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, when the player wins the re-play combination, a winning notification process may be executed. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify the player that he or she can play the next game without consuming medals, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the example of FIG. 29, the case where the derived display results are different between when operated in the recommended operation procedure and when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in at least some winning situations, the same display result may be derived when operated in the recommended operation procedure and when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, the prize notification process is executed when the small winning combination or the re-playing combination wins, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out, or the medal is based on the winning of the re-playing combination. It is described that the privilege of being able to play the next game without consuming However, the target on which such notification processing is executed is not limited to the winning combination of the small winning combination or the re-playing combination, and the benefit may be another one. For example, the target on which the notification process is performed may be derived as the predetermined display result. The predetermined display result may be an out display result. The predetermined display result may be a display result to which a benefit is given by being derived. The predetermined display result may be derived as a display result in which a lottery for determining whether or not a benefit is given is performed. The predetermined display result may be a display result that may be given a benefit by being derived.

  Regardless of which of the recommended operation procedure and the non-recommended operation procedure is operated, when the predetermined display result is derived, an advantage that allows the player to specify an advantage provided corresponding to the derived display result Information may be reported. In such a configuration, when the predetermined display result is derived as a result of being operated in the recommended operation procedure, the privilege information is notified in the recommended operation mode, and as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the predetermined display When the result is derived, the privilege information may be notified in the non-recommended operation mode.

  When operated in the recommended operation mode, the privilege information may be notified, but when operated in the non-recommended operation mode, the privilege information may not be notified. Generally, the player desires to be notified of the benefit information in order to recognize that the benefit has been granted when the benefit is granted. Therefore, according to such a configuration, it is possible to guide the player to operate in the recommended operation procedure in which the privilege information is notified. The configuration may be such that the privilege information is not notified regardless of which of the recommended operation procedure and the non-recommended operation procedure is operated.

[About the penalty]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the penalty lottery for determining whether or not to control during the penalty period is executed as the disadvantage control which is disadvantageous for the player (S 560 in FIG. 28). 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 when the number of times reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times), control may be made during the penalty period. Whenever one stop operation is performed in the non-recommended operation procedure, control may be made during the penalty period. Any process may be used as long as the process is controlled to the penalty period by the process related to the event operated in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  As the penalty is controlled during the penalty period, the AT lottery is not performed even if the AT lottery condition is satisfied. However, the penalty is not limited to this. For example, when it is controlled during the penalty period, the winning probability may decrease in the AT lottery, or the expected value of the number of navistocks to be granted may decrease, and the player is disadvantaged. It may be any as long as it is covered.

  For example, 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 be to reduce the probability that the special rendition will be performed as compared to when the penalty is not given. The special effect is an effect to be executed when a benefit advantageous to the player is given. That is, the special effect is an effect that causes the player to have an expectation of whether or not a benefit is given. The special effect is, for example, a freeze effect. While freeze is being performed, the timing to activate the game progress operation is forcibly delayed.

  In the present embodiment, when the navigation effect game is executed, the penalty lottery is executed when the player is operated in the non-recommended operation procedure. However, without performing the penalty lottery, the penalty lottery is performed. It may not be controlled. The reason is that in the navi-representation game, the player executes disadvantageous control which is disadvantageous for the player not to pay out the medals to be paid out when operated in the recommended operation procedure and not operated when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure. It is because even if it does not carry out, it will carry out disadvantageous control.

[Other modifications]
In the embodiment described above, the variable display device having the three reels 2L, 2C, 2R is provided, and when all the reels stop, one game is finished, depending on the combination of the display results derived on the three reels. Described the slot machine where winning occurs.
