Description

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

  Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). In a gaming machine having such an AT function, a high probability re-gaming state (RT: replay time) in which notification of information advantageous to the player is made high with a probability that replay (re-play) is determined as an internal winning combination. It is also common practice to realize an advantageous advantageous state (ART) advantageous to the player by performing in.

  By the way, since the game in the advantageous state tends to be monotonous, in recent years, attempts to diversify the game property in the advantageous state are widely performed. For example, according to Patent Document 1, a free game is played when a predetermined condition is established, and a shooting game in which the number of fighter aircraft symbols stopped and displayed as a result of the free game is displayed on a liquid crystal display A gaming machine is disclosed in which the effects and payout modes are diversified by using the number of fighters on the player side.

JP, 2005-152165, A

  However, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, since free games and effects (shooting games) are configured to automatically proceed under control of the gaming machine side, the progress of the game by the player can be reflected in the effect contents. Therefore, the player could not actively participate in the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a game in an advantageous state by causing a player to actively participate in a game. The purpose is

The gaming machine according to the present invention has a normal state (for example, a general gaming state) and an advantageous state (for example, a battle ART in an ART gaming state) which is advantageous to the player as compared to the normal state. A gaming machine, comprising: a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and a symbol display means (for example, display) for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels The reel is rotated based on the detection of the start operation by the window 4), the start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the start switch 16S) for detecting the start operation by the player, and the start operation detection means. The symbol changing means (for example, the main control circuit 41, stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R) for changing the symbols by the start operation by the start operation detecting means The internal winning combination determining means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining the internal winning combination with a predetermined probability from among the plurality of winning combinations, provided corresponding to the plurality of reels, each reel Stop operation detection means for detecting a stop operation for stopping
For example, based on the main control circuit 41, the stop switch 17S), the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means, and the timing at which the stop operation is detected by the stop operation detecting means, the reel is rotated. Reel stop control means (for example, main control circuit 41) for stopping change of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by stopping, and when change of the symbol is stopped by the reel stop control means, A prize determining means (for example, a main winning determination means for determining whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means has been won based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the effective line provided in the symbol display means Control circuit 41)
And an advantageous state start unit (for example, the sub control circuit 42) which starts the advantageous state triggered by a predetermined condition, and a predetermined role (for example, pushing order bell) in the advantageous state is determined as an internal winning combination And notification means (for example, the sub control circuit 42, the liquid crystal display device 10) for notifying information of stop operation advantageous for the player (for example, information for displaying a combination of symbols having a large number of payouts); Numerical value determining means (e.g., sub control circuit 42) for determining first numerical information (e.g., HP of friend character) and second numerical information (e.g., HP of enemy character) prior to the start of the state; During the state, effect information (for example, effect balls) in a plurality of games from the current game to the game a predetermined number of times ahead is registered (for example, to the apocalypse displayed on the liquid crystal display device 10) Tsu to g) effect information registration means (e.g., the sub-control circuit 42)
And, when the predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination in a game in which first effect information (for example, an enemy ball) is registered as the effect information, a first predetermined value is subtracted from the first numerical information,
In addition, when the predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination in a game in which second effect information (for example, an alloy ball) is registered as the effect information, a numerical value for subtracting a second predetermined value from the second numerical information. When the first numerical value information becomes less than the threshold as a result of subtraction of the updating means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) and the numerical value updating means, the advantageous state is ended and the second numerical value information becomes less than the threshold. Advantaged state control means (eg, secondary control circuit 42) for newly starting an advantageous state
And the numerical value updating means subtracts the third predetermined value from the second numerical value information regardless of the registered effect information when the specific combination is determined as the internal winning combination. Do.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, during the advantageous state, the first numerical information and the second numerical information are subtracted based on the presentation information and the internal winning combination, and the second numerical information is less than the threshold. If the numerical information can be reduced below the threshold, the advantageous state is continued. Here, since the internal winning combination is determined in accordance with the player's start operation, the player can actively participate in the game in the advantageous state, and the motivation to the game can be improved. .

  Further, even when the predetermined winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the target to be subtracted (the first numerical information or the second numerical information) differs according to the effect information registered in the game. For the player, since the first numerical information is subtracted in the state where the first effect information is registered, the player does not want to win a predetermined combination, but the second effect information is registered. Would like to win the prize of the designated role. Here, since the effect information is registered for a plurality of games from the current game to the game a predetermined number of times ahead, the player can play the game after grasping the effect information registered in advance, It is desirable for the player to win a predetermined part at a timing advantageous to the player (the second effect information is registered). As a result, the registered effect information and the player's start operation can be strongly linked, and the player can play a game with a sense of tension, so that the interest in the advantageous state can be improved. it can.

  In addition, since the predetermined combination for subtracting the first numerical information or the second numerical information is the combination of the notification target, that the predetermined combination is determined as the internal winning combination affects the profit given during the advantageous state. It will be given. For example, depending on the gaming machine, the role to which the first numerical information is to be subtracted may be the first role (such as replay) that does not affect profits, and the role to which the second numerical information may be subtracted may affect the profits. It is also conceivable to use two roles (such as a bell). In such a gaming machine, the presence or absence of the winning of the second part affecting the profit is directly linked to the continuation of the advantageous state, and the game becomes monotonous. In this respect, as in the gaming machine according to the present invention, by making the winning of the predetermined role affecting the profit advantageous / unfavorable in accordance with the registered presentation information, the game characteristic in the advantageous state is achieved. It can be diversified and can enhance the interest during the advantageous state.

  By providing the specific part that subtracts the first numerical information regardless of the effect information registered in this way, the player expects that the specific part will be determined as the internal winning combination during the advantageous state. , Can enhance the interest during the advantageous state.

  According to the present invention, the interest of the game in the advantageous state can be improved by making the player actively participate in the game.

A pachislot machine equipped with an assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as "ART") function at the same time as RT, which is an RT, will be described.

[Pachislot functional flow]
As shown in FIG. 1, when the player inserts a medal and the start lever 16 is operated, the pachislot 1 is set to one value from random numbers in a range (for example, 0 to 65535) of a predetermined numerical value (for example, Hereinafter, random number values are extracted.

  The internal winning combination determining means (main CPU 51 described later) performs lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. That is, the internal winning combination determining means is based on the detection of the start operation of the unit game on the start lever 16 by the start switch 16S (see FIG. 4) (the establishment of a predetermined start condition), with a predetermined probability from among the plurality of combinations. Determine the internal winning combination.

  By the determination of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols permitting display along a pay line to be described later is determined. In addition, as types of combinations of symbols, there are provided one to which the player is given a privilege such as payout of medals, activation of replay (replay), activation of bonus, etc., and other related to so-called “off”. It is done.

  Subsequently, after the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotated, when the player presses the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R, the reel stop control means (main CPU 51 described later) plays an internal winning combination. Control of stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed based on the timing when the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R is pressed.

  Here, in the pachi slot 1, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R within a specified time (190 msec) after the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R are pressed. In this embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R within the specified time is referred to as "the number of sliding pieces", and the maximum number thereof is equivalent to 4 symbols (maximum number of sliding pieces Determined in).

  When an internal winning combination permitting display of a combination of symbols relating to winning is determined, the reel stop control means utilizes the prescribed time, and the combination of the symbols is along the pay line as an effective line. The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols so as to be displayed as much as possible.

  On the other hand, for combinations of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination, the reel is used in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols so as not to be displayed along the pay line using the above-mentioned prescribed time Stop the rotation of 3L, 3C, 3R.

  In this way, when the rotations of the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are all stopped, the prize determination means (main CPU 51 described later) determines whether the combination of symbols displayed along the prize line relates to a prize It judges whether or not.

  That is, the winning determination means determines the establishment or failure of the winning combination based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the pay line, based on the fact that the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped by the reel stop control means.

  When it is determined that the game is related to winning, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. A series of flows as described above are performed as one game (unit game) in the pachislot machine 1.

  In the present embodiment, the first stop operation of the reel stop operation (the operation of the stop button 17L, 17C, 17R) which is initially performed when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotating is the first stop operation, the first The stop operation performed subsequent to the stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed subsequent to the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  Further, in the pachi slot 1, in the above-described series of flows, the display of an image performed by a display device such as the liquid crystal display device 10, the output of light performed by various lamps (lamps 20 described later), and the sound performed by speakers 21L and 21R. Various renderings are performed using the output of or a combination of these.

  When the player operates the start lever 16, in addition to the random number used to determine the internal winning combination described above, other lottery processing and random numbers for effect (hereinafter, random numbers for effect) are extracted. Be done.

  When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means (sub-CPU 81 described later) determines by lottery the one to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means determines whether or not the winning is achieved when the rotation of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started. Advance the execution of the production in conjunction with each opportunity such as when it was received.

  In this manner, in Pachi-Slo 1, the player is provided with an opportunity to know or predict the combination of the determined internal winning combinations, that is, the symbols to be aimed, by executing the presentation contents associated with the internal winning combinations. The player's interest is improved.

The start switch 16S (start operation detection means) detects that the player has operated the start lever 16 (start operation). The settlement switch 14S detects that the settlement button has been pressed by the player.

  The medal sensor 35S (input operation detecting means) detects that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 has passed through the inside of the selector 35. Further, the bet switch 12S detects that the player has pressed the bet button (the MAX bet button 12 or the 1 BET button 14).

  Further, as peripheral devices whose operations are controlled by the microcomputer 50, there are three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R (symbol changing means), a 7-segment display 6, and a hopper 33. Further, a drive circuit for controlling the operation of each peripheral device is connected to the output port of the microcomputer 50.

  The motor drive circuit 62 controls the drive of three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R respectively provided corresponding to the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The reel position detection circuit 63 detects, for each reel, a reel index which indicates that the reel has made one rotation, by an optical sensor having a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion.

  Each of the three stepping motors 61L, 61C, and 61R has a configuration in which the momentum is proportional to the number of pulse outputs, and the rotation axis can be stopped at a designated angle. Further, the driving force of each stepping motor is transmitted to the corresponding reel through a gear having a predetermined speed reduction ratio. Then, each time one pulse is output to each stepping motor, the corresponding reel rotates at a constant angle.

  The main CPU 51 detects the reel index of each reel and then counts the number of times the pulse is output to the corresponding stepping motor, whereby the rotation angle of each reel (specifically, the number of symbols of the reel) Manage only what).

  Here, management of the rotation angle of each reel will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to each stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53. Then, every time the pulse counter counts the output of a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times) necessary for the rotation of one symbol, the value of the symbol counter (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53 is “1 "Is added. A symbol counter is provided for each reel. Then, the value of the symbol counter is cleared when the reel position detection circuit 63 detects a reel index.

  That is, in this embodiment, by managing the value of the symbol counter, it is managed how many symbol rotation operations have been performed since the reel index is detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel is detected on the basis of the position where the reel index is detected.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the maximum number of sliding symbols in a game is determined to be four symbols. Therefore, for example, when the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel is pressed during the game, the symbol of the predetermined reel located in the corresponding area on the pay line in the display window 4 and its four points ahead The symbols present in the range become symbols that can be stopped in the area.

  The display unit drive circuit 64 included in the main control circuit 41 controls the operation of the 7-segment display 6. The hopper drive circuit 65 controls the operation of the hopper 33.

[Transition flow of main game state]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51) of the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment and the transition flow thereof will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 manages the gaming state based on the presence / absence of winning / operation of a bonus, the type of internal winning combination related to replay, and the winning probability thereof. As shown in FIG. 7, the main control circuit 41 distinguishes between a bonus non-winning state, an inter-flag state and a bonus state based on the presence / absence of winning / activation of the bonus (BB). Specifically, the bonus non-winning state is a bonus non-winning state and the bonus is not activated, the inter-flag state is a bonus winning and a bonus not activated, and the bonus state Is in the state where the bonus is activated.

  Further, the main control circuit 41 provides six types of states, that is, the RT0 gaming state to the RT5 gaming state, in which the types of internal winning combinations related to replay and their winning probability differ from each other. The RT0 gaming state to RT2 gaming state is a gaming state in which the probability that the role associated with the replay is determined as an internal winning combination is low, and the RT3 gaming state and the RT5 gaming state are the internal winnings associated with the replay. It is a gaming state in which the probability determined as is a medium probability. Further, the RT4 gaming state is a gaming state in which the probability that a role associated with replay is determined as an internal winning combination is high, and is the most advantageous gaming state among bonus non-winning states.

  The main control circuit 41 distinguishes based on the presence / absence of winning / operation of a bonus, a non-winning condition, an inter-flag state and a bonus condition, and an RT0 game distinguished based on the type of internal winning combination related to replay and its winning probability. Manage the gaming state of the main side in Pachislot 1 from state ~ RT5 gaming state. More specifically, the main control circuit 41 is, as gaming state in pachislot 1, RT0 gaming state in bonus non-earning state, RT1 gaming state in bonus non-earning state, RT2 gaming state in bonus non-earning state, bonus non-earning state RT3 gaming state, bonus non winning state RT4 gaming state, flag between state RT5 gaming state, bonus state RT0 gaming state, bonus state RT2 gaming state, bonus state RT4 gaming state, and bonus state RB gaming state Manage 10 different states.

  The presence or absence of a bonus winning is managed based on data stored in an internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 48 described later) provided in the main RAM 53. For example, when data 1 is stored in bit 2 of the internal winning combination storing area 4, it means that a bonus is won. Further, whether or not the bonus is activated and the RT gaming state are managed based on data stored in a gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51 described later) provided in the main RAM 53. For example, when data 1 is stored in bit 3 and bit 5 of the gaming state flag storage area, the bonus (BB gaming state) is in operation and the RT4 gaming state is established.

  Bonus non winning condition RT0 gaming state (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 data of internal winning combination storing area 5 are 0, and data of all bits of gaming state flag storing area is 0) Is one of the basic gaming states during bonus non-winning state. As shown in FIG. 6, from the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non winning state, the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non winning state, the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non winning state, the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non winning state, and the state between flags There is a possibility of shifting to the RT5 gaming state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state, (1) when the combination of symbols pertaining to a bell spill or RT1 transition lip is displayed, the bonus non-earning state Transition to the RT1 gaming state. In addition, a bell spilled eye is a combination of symbols displayed when an incorrect answer is determined in a pressing order determined for each type of pressing order bell when a pressing order bell described later is determined as an internal winning combination. The RT1 transition ripple is a combination of symbols displayed when the incorrect order is determined in the pressing order determined for each type of pressing order lip, when the pressing order lip described later is determined as an internal winning combination.

  In addition, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, when the combination of symbols related to (2) RT4 transition ripple is displayed, it shifts to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state. The RT4 transition lip is a combination of symbols displayed when the correct order of pressing defined for each type of pressing order lip is given, or when the pressing order lip to be described later is determined as an internal winning combination. It is a combination of symbols displayed when "F_chance lip 2" or "F_slip chance lip 2" is determined as an internal winning combination.

  In addition, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, when a combination of symbols relating to (3) RT3 transition lip is displayed, it shifts to the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state. The RT3 transition lip is a combination of symbols displayed when “F_slip chance lip 1” or “F_cherry lip” described later is determined as an internal winning combination.

  In addition, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, (5) If the role related to the BB is determined as the internal winning combination, it shifts to the RT5 gaming state between the flags. In addition, the role which concerns on BB is either of the below-mentioned "F_black black black" "F_red red red" "F_white white white" "F_red red white" "F_white white red". The roles associated with these BBs are so-called carryovers that are carried over as an internal winning combination until the corresponding symbol combination is displayed when determined as an internal winning combination (that is, while the operation of the BB starts). It is a role.

  Subsequently, the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state (bits 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 5 are 0, and data of bit 0 of gaming state flag storing area) 1) is one of the basic gaming states during bonus non-winning state. As shown in FIG. 6, from the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, there is a possibility of transitioning to the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT5 gaming state between flags. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, when (4) the number of fixed games (five games in this embodiment) elapses, the RT0 game in the bonus non-winning state Transition to the state. In addition, in the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, (5) If the role related to the BB is determined as the internal winning combination, it shifts to the RT5 gaming state between the flags.

  In addition, the RT2 gaming state of bonus non winning condition (bit 2 of data of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 5 is 0, and data of bit 1 of gaming state flag storing area is 1) is a gaming state in which there is a possibility of transitioning after the BB operation is completed. In this embodiment, when the bonus ends, the bonus game is shifted to the bonus non-winning state while the RT gaming state in the bonus state is maintained. Therefore, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is shifted when the bonus state ends in the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a possibility that the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state may shift to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state and the RT5 gaming state between the flags. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the RT2 gaming state where the bonus is not won, (1) when the combination of symbols related to the bell spill is displayed, the RT1 gaming state where the bonus is not won. Migrate to In addition, in the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, (5) If the role related to the BB is determined as the internal winning combination, the state shifts to the RT5 gaming state between the flags.

  In addition, RT3 gaming state of bonus non winning state (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 data of internal winning combination storing area 5 is 0, and data of bit 2 of gaming state flag storing area is 1) is a gaming state in which there is a high probability that a role related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination, as compared to the RT0 gaming state which is the basic gaming state of Pachi-Slot 1. As shown in FIG. 6, from the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, there is a possibility of transitioning to the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT5 gaming state between flags. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, when (4) the number of fixed games (five games in this embodiment) elapses, the RT0 game in the bonus non-winning state Transition to the state. In addition, in the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, (5) If the role related to the BB is determined as the internal winning combination, the state shifts to the RT5 gaming state between the flags.

  In addition, the RT4 gaming state of bonus non winning state (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 5 is 0, and data of bit 3 of gaming state flag storing area is 1) is an advantageous state in which it is possible to play a game without reducing the medals with the highest probability that the role related to the replay is determined as the internal winning combination. As shown in FIG. 6, from the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, there is a possibility of transitioning to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT5 gaming state between flags. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state, (1) when the combination of symbols pertaining to a bell spill or RT1 transition lip is displayed, the bonus non-earning state Transition to the RT1 gaming state. In addition, in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, (5) If the role related to the BB is determined as the internal winning combination, the state shifts to the RT5 gaming state between the flags.

  In addition, RT5 gaming state of the state between the flag (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 5 is either 1 data and bit 4 of gaming state flag storage area The data 1) is between the so-called BB flags where the part associated with the BB is carried over as an internal winning combination, and the game stays until a combination of symbols according to the BB carried over as an internal winning combination is displayed It is a state. As shown in FIG. 6, there is a possibility that the RT5 gaming state in the inter-flag state may shift to the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the RT5 gaming state in the flag state, (6) a combination of symbols according to the BB carried over is displayed, and when BB is activated, RT0 in the bonus state Transition to the game state.

  The RT0 gaming state in the bonus state (bits 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and 0 of bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 5 are 0, and data of bit 5 of gaming state flag storage area is 1): When BB is activated, it is the game state which stays first. While in the bonus state, it starts from the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, and shifts to another gaming state. As shown in FIG. 6, the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state may shift to the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, when the operation of (10) BB ends, it shifts to the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state (before and after the bonus ends) RT gaming state is maintained). The operation of the BB ends when the number of medals paid out during the bonus state exceeds 59.

  In addition, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, (7) when the combination related to JACIN is determined as the internal winning combination, it shifts to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state. The role associated with JACIN is any of "F_JACIN1", "F_JACIN2", and "F_JACIN3" described later. Here, as shown in FIG. 26 described later, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, there is a high probability that the role associated with JACIN will be determined as the internal winning combination (about 52%), basically the BB operation is Before the end, the part associated with JACIN is determined as an internal winning combination, and it shifts to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state. The roles associated with these JACINs are as internal winnings only during the bonus state until the corresponding symbol combination is displayed when determined as internal winnings (that is, until activation of RB starts). It is a so-called carryover role that is carried over.

  In addition, the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state (bits 0 to 3 of the internal winning combination storing area 5 are 0, and data of bit 3 and bit 5 of the gaming state flag storing area is 1) is the role associated with JACIN. It is between so-called RB flags in the bonus state, carried over as an internal winning combination. As shown in FIG. 6, the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state may shift to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RB gaming state in the bonus state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state, when the operation of (10) BB ends, it shifts to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state (before and after the bonus ends) RT gaming state is maintained). In addition, in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state, (8) a combination of symbols according to the JACIN carried over is displayed, and when the RB is activated, the gaming state shifts to the RB gaming state in the bonus state.

  In addition, RB gaming state of bonus state (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and data of bit 0 to 3 of internal winning combination storing area 5 is 0, and bit 5 and 6 of gaming state flag storage area The data of 1) is a gaming state in which transition is made when the operation of the RB starts during the bonus state. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22 described later, in the RB gaming state in the bonus state, there is a high probability (approximately 65%) that the probability of “disengaging” being determined as an internal winning combination is basically disadvantageous. In the pachislot 1 of the form, during the bonus state, the game is performed while maintaining the RT4 gaming state of the bonus state without displaying combinations of symbols according to the carried over JACIN.

  As shown in FIG. 6, there is a possibility that the RB gaming state in the bonus state shifts to the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when the operation of (10) BB is finished in the RB gaming state of the bonus state, it shifts to the RT2 gaming state of the bonus non-winning state. In addition, in the RB gaming state in the bonus state, when the operation of (9) RB ends, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state is entered. In addition, the operation of RB is that a combination of symbols other than "off" is displayed eight times in the RB gaming state in the bonus state (eight wins), and 12 games are played in the RB gaming state in the bonus state If any of the following conditions is satisfied, or the operation of BB is completed, the process is terminated.

  In addition, RT2 gaming state of bonus state (bit 2 to 7 of internal winning combination storing area 4 and data of bit 0 to 3 of internal winning combination storing area 5 is 0, and bit 1 and bit 5 of gaming state flag storage area The data of 1) is a gaming state in which the RB gaming state in the bonus state transitions after the gaming state. As shown in FIG. 6, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state may shift to the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state and the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state. Specifically, in the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state, when the operation of (10) BB ends, it shifts to the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state (the RT gaming state is maintained around the end of the bonus). In addition, in the RT2 gaming state in the bonus state, (7) when the combination related to JACIN is determined as the internal winning combination, it shifts to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state.

<Symbol arrangement table>
The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8 represents by data the arrangement of symbols arranged on the surface of each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R. The symbol arrangement table defines the correspondence between 21 symbol positions “0” to “20” and symbols corresponding to each of the symbol positions.

  The symbol positions “0” to “20” indicate the positions of the symbols arranged along the rotational direction in each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R. The symbols corresponding to the symbol positions “0” to “20” can be identified by referring to the symbol arrangement table using the value of the symbol counter.

  As types of symbols, "White 7", "Red 7", "BAR", "Rip 1", "Rip 2", "Rip 3", "Cherry 1", "Cherry 2", "Watermelon" and " "Bell" is included.

  The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8 assigns the symbol located in the middle of the display window 4 (the symbol passing through the middle of the display window 4) to the symbol position "0" when the reel index is detected, and the reel 3L. In order to move in the rotational direction, 3C and 3R, the correspondence relationship in which the symbol positions "0" to "20" are assigned to each of the 21 symbols is defined.

  Thus, by using the middle level of the display window 4 as a reference, it is possible to specify the type of the symbol located in the middle level of the display window 4 for each of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

<Symbol code table>
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, each symbol arranged on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is specified by a symbol code table and is distinguished by data of 1 byte (8 bits). The symbol code table shown in FIG. 8 represents a code for identifying symbols arranged on the surfaces of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  The symbols used in the pachislot 1 according to the present embodiment are "White 7", "Red 7", "BAR", "Rip 1", "Rip 2", "Rip 3", "Cherry 1", as described above. There are ten types of "cherry 2", "watermelon" and "bell".

  In the symbol code table, "00000001" is assigned as data to the "white 7" symbol (symbol code 1). "00000010" is assigned as data to the "red 7" symbol (symbol code 2). For the "BAR" symbol (symbol code 3), "00000011" is assigned as data.

  Similarly, for each of “Rip 1”, “Rip 2”, “Rip 3”, “Cherry 1”, “Cherry 2”, “Watermelon” and “Bell” symbols (pattern code 4 to 10) As data, “00000100” to “00001010” are assigned.

<Symbol combination table>
Next, the symbol combination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 21. The symbol combination table is a combination of symbols determined in advance according to the type of benefit, and a combination of the symbols and data stored in the main RAM 53 when the combination of the symbols is displayed. Define the correspondence with the benefits of (the number of medals paid out).

  In the present embodiment, winning is achieved when the combination of symbols displayed on the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R along the payline matches the combination (combination) of symbols specified in the symbol combination table. It is determined that Then, when it is determined that the player has won, the player is provided with benefits such as payout of medals, activation of replay, and activation of a bonus game. When the combination of symbols displayed along the pay line does not match any of the combinations of symbols specified in the symbol combination table, it becomes a so-called "off". That is, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination of “off” is defined by not defining the combination of symbols corresponding to “off” in the symbol combination table. The present invention is not limited to this, and an item of "displacement" may be provided in the symbol combination table to directly define "displacement".

  Data fields in the symbol combination table define information for identifying combinations of symbols displayed along pay lines. Specifically, in the data column, "storage area (data for specifying a display combination storage area (see FIG. 50) described later)" in which data of the corresponding symbol combination is stored, and the storage area "Data (data for specifying a bit according to a combination of symbols in 1-byte data)" to be stored is defined. In the present embodiment, by using 45 1-byte storage areas, the combination of the respective symbols is determined. For example, “R_RT transition point A_01” shown in FIG. 9 is determined by storing 1 in bit 0 of the display combination storing area 1.

  The combination defined in the symbol combination table means a symbol combination of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R displayed along the pay line when the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped. In each combination, a combination name according to the role of the combination and the type of symbols constituting the combination is defined.

  Further, the payout number specified in the symbol combination table specifies the number of medals to be paid out when the corresponding symbol combination is displayed. For example, referring to FIG. 19, when the combination "C_CD bell" is displayed, ten medals will be paid out.

  In this embodiment, the combination of a large number of symbols shown in FIGS. 9 to 21 is classified into a plurality of types according to the role. The role type column in the symbol combination table defines the role of each symbol combination. More specifically, in the present embodiment, combinations of a large number of symbols are classified into six types of "RT transition item", "BB", "JACIN", "replay", "RT transition replay", and "winning".

  The role type “RT transition” is a combination of symbols in which transition of the RT gaming state is performed when displayed, and “R_RT transition A_01” to “R_RT transition F_08” shown in FIG. 9 correspond. . These "RT transition points" are combinations of symbols displayed when the incorrect order is determined in the pressing order determined for each of the above-described pressing order bell types, and are the above-mentioned "bell spilled eyes". That is, the push order bell is determined as the internal winning combination, and in the case of an incorrect answer in the push order, there is a possibility that any one of the combinations of symbols corresponding to the combination type "RT transition" is displayed. When a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type "RT transition" is displayed, there is a possibility of transitioning to the RT1 gaming state.

  The role type “BB” is a combination of symbols in which the operation of the BB is performed when displayed, and corresponds to “C_BB1” to “C_BB5_02” shown in FIG. When a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type "BB" is displayed, the operation of the BB is started, and the gaming state is shifted to the RT0 gaming state.

  The role type “JACIN” is a combination of symbols in which the operation of the RB is performed when displayed, and corresponds to “C_JACIN1” to “C_JACIN3” shown in FIG. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type "JACIN" is displayed, the operation of the RB is started, and the game shifts to the RT2 gaming state after the completion of the operation of the RB.

  The role type “replay” is a combination of symbols in which the action of replay is performed when displayed, and corresponds to “C_CU white” to “C_KY lip _09” shown in FIG. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type "re-play" is displayed, the re-play operation is performed. In addition, when the combination of the symbol corresponding to role combination "re-playing" is displayed, transfer of RT gaming state is not performed.

  The role type “RT transition replay” is a combination (combination) of symbols that, when displayed, may cause transition of the RT gaming state with the operation of replay, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 17. _01 "to" C_Sui FKF_18 "correspond. When a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type “RT transition replay” is displayed, the replay may be activated and transition to various RT gaming states may be performed according to the combination of the symbols.

  For example, when “C_CU ripple _01” to “C_CU ripple _03” shown in FIG. 11 are displayed, there is a possibility of transition to the RT1 gaming state. These “C_CU Lip _01” to “C_CU Lip _03” are combinations of symbols that may be displayed when the incorrect order is determined in the pressing order determined for each type of pressing order lip described above, and “RT 1 It is a migration lip. That is, if the push order lip is determined as the internal winning combination, and if the push order is incorrect, one of “C_CU lip _ 01” to “C_CU lip _ 03” is displayed.

  Further, when “C_C Lip 01” to “C_Bell FKC_12” shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 are displayed, there is a possibility of transition to the RT4 gaming state. These “C_C Lip 01” to “C_Bell FKC_12” are the above-mentioned “RT4 transition lip”. More specifically, if the above-described push order lip is determined as the internal winning combination, and the push order is the correct answer, any one of “C_CU lip _ 01” to “C_CU lip _ 03” is displayed. In addition, when "F_chance lip 2" or "F_ slip chance lip 2" described above is determined as an internal winning combination, any one of "C_C lip 01" to "C_bell FKC_12" is displayed regardless of the pressing order. It will be.

  In addition, when “C_CD Cherip A_01” to “C_Sui FKF_18” shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 are displayed, there is a possibility of transition to the RT3 gaming state. These “C_CD Cherip A_01” to “C_Sui FKF_18” are the “RT3 transition lip” described above. More specifically, when the above-mentioned "F_ slip chance lip 1" or "F_ cherry lip" is determined to be the internal winning combination, any of "C_CD Cherip A_01" to "C_ slip FKF_18" It will be displayed.

  The winning combination type "winning" is a combination of symbols on which payout of medals is made, and corresponds to "C_CD watermelon" to "C_B bell BB_04" shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination type "winning" is displayed, the number of medals specified in the number-of-payouts column of the symbol combination table is paid out. In addition, when the combination of the symbols corresponding to the winning combination type "winning" is displayed, the transition of the RT gaming state is not performed.

  "C_CD bell" shown in FIG. 19 is a combination of symbols displayed when the correct order is set for each pressing bell type described above. In addition, among the combinations of symbols corresponding to the combination type "winning", the combination of symbols of the payout number "3" is displayed when the incorrect order is determined in the pressing order determined for each type of pushing order bell described above It is a combination of possible designs. That is, in the case of an incorrect answer determined for each push bell type, the combination of symbols with the payout number “3” of the combinations of the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “winning” or the winning combination “RT transition” A combination of symbols corresponding to "eye" will be displayed. In addition, since there are six possible pushing orders in the pachislot 1 as the pushing order of the stop operation, the symbol combination displayed in the case of incorrect answering order is arbitrarily set from the five pushing orders of incorrect answers. be able to.

<Internal lottery table>
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 22 to 26, an internal lottery table referred to when determining the internal winning combination will be described. The internal lottery table is provided for each gaming state, and defines lottery value information on data pointers corresponding to winning combinations. In the above-mentioned bonus non-winning RT0 gaming state, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the “RT0” column of the internal lottery table, and similarly the bonus non-winning RT1 gaming state ̃bonus non In the winning RT4 gaming state, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the “RT1” to “RT4” column of the internal lottery table. Further, in the RT5 gaming state between flags, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the "RT5" column of the internal lottery table. Further, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the "BB in (RT0)" column of the internal lottery table, and similarly, the RT4 gaming state or bonus in the bonus state. In the RT2 gaming state of the state, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the "BB in (RT4)" or "BB in (RT2)" column of the internal lottery table, and the RB gaming state in the bonus state Then, the internal winning combination is determined using the lottery value defined in the “BB (RB)” column of the internal lottery table.

  The internal lottery table basically changes the type of winning combination and the winning probability related to the replay determined as the internal winning combination according to the type of RT gaming state, and according to the presence or absence of a bonus (BB or RB) operation The type of winning combination (other than replay and carryover) determined as the internal winning combination and the winning probability change.

  The data pointer is data acquired as a result of lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table, and is data used to determine a storage area type and 1-byte data. As the data pointer, a small winning combination / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are individually defined corresponding to each of the plurality of winning numbers.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not the random value for lottery which is extracted from the predetermined numerical value range “0 to 65535” is sequentially subtracted by the lottery value according to each winning combination, and the result of the subtraction becomes negative or not An internal lottery is performed by making a determination (whether or not a so-called "worried" has occurred).

  Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the data to which it is assigned (that is, the data pointer) is determined. That is, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value corresponding to each winning number / number of all random numbers that may be extracted (65536)”.

<Comparison chart of internal winning combination and symbol combination>
27 to 45 are comparison tables showing the correspondence with combinations of symbols that can be displayed on the pay line in each internal winning combination. A circle in each correspondence table indicates a combination (combination) of symbols that can be displayed on the pay line in the winning combination determined as the internal winning combination. In the winning combination, the illustration of the correspondence table is omitted for combinations of symbols that can not be displayed on the pay line (for example, in the winning combination “F_black and black shown in FIG. 27, etc., FIG. The combination of the symbols shown in can not be displayed, so the illustration of the correspondence table is omitted).

  Referring to FIG. 27, for example, when the winning combination "F_black / black / black" is an internal winning combination, the symbol combination of the combination name "C_BB1" can be stopped and displayed on the pay line. Referring to FIG. 10, the combination name "C_BB1" is a combination of symbols in which "BAR-BAR-BAR" is displayed along the pay line. In addition, in the correspondence table shown in the same figure, although the case where it becomes winning combination "disapproval" is not specified, this is a combination of all the symbols specified by the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 9-21. Indicates that the display of is not permitted.

  In the pachi slot 1, the main control circuit 41 changes the stop control according to the internal winning combination and the game state, and when the predetermined winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the correspondence shown in FIGS. The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped so that a combination of symbols can be displayed. Note that, in the correspondence tables shown in FIGS. 27 to 45, combinations of all symbols that may be displayed when the winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination are listed. Since the control differs depending not only on the internal winning combination but also on the current gaming state, even if the combination of symbols circled in correspondence to the winning combination may not be displayed depending on the gaming state.

<Summary of the Title>
This point will be described in detail with reference to the outline of the winning combination shown in FIG. 46 and FIG. As shown in FIG. 46, when "off" is determined as the internal winning combination, display of all combinations of symbols defined by the symbol combination table shown in Figs. 9 to 21 is not permitted. In the RT4 gaming state where there is a high probability that the role associated with the replay is determined as the internal winning combination, the probability that "off" is determined as the internal winning combination decreases with an increase in the winning probability of the role associated with the replay. Therefore, in the following, there may be a case where "Rear" in the RT4 gaming state is used as a rare role (this is treated as so-called "pure out").

  In addition, when one of “F_black black black” “F_red red red” “F_white white white” “F_red red white” “F_white white red” is determined as the internal winning combination, the correspondence shown in FIG. The display of combinations of symbols having a relationship is permitted. When one of “F_black black black” “F_red red red” “F_white white white” “F_red red white” “F_white white red” is determined as the internal winning combination, as described above, The gaming state is RT5 gaming state between flags.

  In addition, when any of “F_Maintenance Lip 1” and “F_Maintenance Lip 2” is determined as the internal winning combination, display of a combination of symbols having correspondences shown in FIGS. 28 to 32 is permitted. It should be noted that “F_Maintenance Lip 1” and “F_Maintenance Lip 2” do not shift the RT gaming state even if the corresponding symbol combination is displayed.

  In addition, “F_123 lip” to “F_2nd lip” are the above-described push-to-push lip, and when any of these push-to-rip dips is determined as the internal winning combination, the correspondence shown in FIGS. The display of the combination of symbols is permitted. More specifically, when the correct order of pressing determined for each type of pressing order lip, the above-mentioned RT4 transitioning lip (FIG. 11 to FIG. 31) of the combinations of the symbols having the correspondence shown in FIG. The display of the combination of symbols according to FIG. 13) is permitted, and in the case of an incorrect answer in the pressing order, the above-mentioned RT1 transitional lip of the combination of symbols having the correspondence shown in FIG. The display of the combination of symbols according to) is permitted.

  The name of the winning combination as the pushing order lip is determined based on the pushing order that is the correct answer. For example, “1” with the name “F_123 RIP” indicates that the stop operation is “left”, “2” indicates that the stop operation is “middle”, and “3” indicates that the stop operation is “right”. It shows that it is ". And "123" has shown the pushing order used as a correct answer, and in the case of "F_123 rep", 1st stop operation is "left", 2nd stop operation is "middle", 3rd stop operation is "right" It is shown that it becomes correct when it is and it becomes incorrect when it is other than that. Similarly, in the case of "F_231 rep", when the first stop operation is "middle", the second stop operation is "right", and the third stop operation is "left", the correct answer is given, and in the case of any other push order. Indicates that it is an incorrect answer. “F — 2nd Rip” is a correct answer when the first stop operation is “medium” and an incorrect answer in the case of any other pressing order.

  Returning to FIG. 46, “F_123 upper stage 7 ten” to “F — 2nd cross 7 sets” are winning combinations different in stop control depending on not only the internal winning combination but also the gaming state. Specifically, in the bonus non-winning state, “F_123 upper stage 7 ten” to “F_2nd cross 7 assortment” are the above-described pushing order lip, and when the pushing order is correct, the correspondence shown in FIGS. 28 to 32. The display of the combination of symbols according to the above-mentioned RT4 transition ripple (refer to FIGS. 11 to 13) among the combinations of symbols having permission is permitted, and when the answer is incorrect, the correspondence shown in FIGS. The display of the combination of symbols according to the above-mentioned RT1 transition lip (see FIG. 11) among the combinations of symbols is permitted.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, “F_123 upper stage 7 ten” to “F_2nd cross 7 set” are “F_123 upper stage 7 ten” among combinations of symbols of combination names “C_CU white” to “C_B white 02” shown in FIG. The display of a combination of symbols having a correspondence relationship with “...” and “F_2nd cross 7 alignment” is permitted. Here, combinations of symbols of combination names "C_CU white" to "C_B white 02" are pseudo lines other than the winning line among the lines connecting the upper, middle and lower lines of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R in a straight line. It is a combination of symbols in which three or two of either "white 7" symbols or "red 7" symbols are displayed on the line. In the following, a combination of three "white 7" symbols or three "red 7" symbols may be referred to as a "seven match lip", and a "white 7" symbol or "red 7" A combination of symbols in which two symbols are displayed may be called "7-turn lip". Among the combination names "C_CU white"-"C_B white _02", the combination of symbols without "FK (fake)" in the combination name is "seven assault lip" and the combination name is "FK (fake)" The combination of symbols attached is "7 round lip". The lines connecting the upper, middle and lower stages of the reels 3L, 3C and 3R in a straight line are the top line connecting the upper stages, the center line connecting the middle stages, the bottom line connecting the lower stages, the cross down line connecting downward to the right, There are five lines of the cross-up line connecting upwards to the right, but since the pay line is a cross-down line, “7 Match Lips” or “7 Round Lips” are 4 pseudo lines other than cross down lines. Along with any of the "white 7" symbol or the "red 7" symbol will be displayed three or two.

  Referring to the correspondence shown in FIG. 28, in the bonus state, the display of “7 round trip” is permitted for “F_123 upper stage 7 ten” and “F_132 lower stage 7 ten”. In addition, in the bonus state, the display of "7 sets of reps" is permitted for "F_ 312 upper row of 7 sets" to "F_2nd cross 7 sets".

  Further, “F_J1 upper stage 7 lip”, “F_J1 lower stage 7 lip” and “F_J1 cross 7 lip” are winning combinations different in stop control depending on not only the internal winning combination but also the gaming state. Specifically, in the bonus non-winning condition, the "RT F4 transition upper lip", the "F_J1 lower transition 7 lip" and the "F_J1 cross 7 lip" are the above-mentioned RT4 transition ripples (see FIGS. 11 to 13) regardless of the pressing order. The display of the combination of symbols according to) is permitted. In the bonus non winning condition, “F_J1 upper row 7 lip”, “F_J1 lower row 7 lip” and “F_J1 cross 7 lip” are determined as the internal winning combination only in the RT4 gaming state, so during the bonus non winning condition If "F_J1 upper row 7 lip", "F_J1 lower row 7 lip" and "F_J1 cross 7 lip" are determined as internal winning combinations, the RT4 gaming state is maintained.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, the "F_J1 upper row 7 lip", the "F_J1 lower row 7 lip" and the "F_J1 cross 7 lip" have different stop control depending on the type of the role related to JACIN carried over as the internal winning combination. Specifically, in the bonus state, when “F_JACIN1” is carried over as an internal winning combination (ie, “F_J1 upper row 7 lip”, “F_J1 lower row 7 lip” or “F_J1 cross 7 lip” and “F_JACIN1”) “F_J1 Upper 7 Lips”, “F_J1 Lower 7 Lips” and “F_J1 Cross 7 Lips” are “7 Matched Lips”, except for the Cross Down Line. Along with any of the four pseudo lines, three "white 7" symbols or "red 7" symbols will be displayed.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, when "F_JACIN2" or "F_JACIN3" is carried over as an internal winning combination (ie, "F_J1 upper row 7 lip", "F_J1 lower row 7 lip" or "F_J1 cross 7 lip" and "F_J1 lower 7 lip") "F_JACIN2" or "F_JACIN3" (if two are decided as an internal winning combination), "F_J1 Upper 7 Lips", "F_J1 Lower 7 Lips" and "F_J1 Cross 7 Lips" Among the combinations of symbols having the correspondence shown in FIGS. 28 to 32, combinations of symbols other than “7-set lip” are displayed.

  A state in which “F_JACIN1” is carried over as an internal winning combination may be referred to as “between JAC1 flags”, and similarly, a state in which “F_JACIN2” is carried over as an internal winning combination may be “between JAC2 flags”, The state in which "F_JACIN3" is carried over as an internal winning combination may be called "between JAC3 flags".

  Further, “F_J2 chance lip 1” to “F_J2 cherry lip” are winning combinations different in stop control depending on not only the internal winning combination but also the gaming state. Specifically, in the bonus non-winning state, “F_J2 chance lip 1” to “F_J2 cherry lip” are the combinations of symbols according to the above-mentioned RT4 transition lip (see FIGS. 11 to 13) regardless of the pushing order. Display is permitted. In the bonus non winning condition, “F_J2 chance lip 1” to “F_J2 cherry lip” are determined as an internal winning combination only in the RT4 gaming state, so “F_J1 upper row 7 lip” in bonus non winning condition, If "F_J1 lower 7 lip" and "F_J1 cross 7 lip" are determined as internal winning combinations, the RT4 gaming state is maintained.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, the “F_J2 chance lip 1” to “F_J2 cherry lip” have different stop control depending on the type of the role associated with JACIN carried over as the internal winning combination. Specifically, in the bonus state, when "F_JACIN2" is carried over as an internal winning combination (that is, either "F_J1 upper 7 reps", "F_J1 lower 7 reps" or "F_J1 cross 7 reps" and "F_JACIN2" “F_J2 Chance Lip 1” to “F_J2 Cherry Lip” are “Chance Lips” and they have the correspondence shown in FIGS. 33 to 39. The display of a combination of symbols of any of "C_B Lip 01" to "C_Sui FKF_18" among combinations is permitted.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, when "F_JACIN1" or "F_JACIN3" is carried over as an internal winning combination (that is, either "F_J2 Chance Rip 1" to "F_J2 Cherry Rip" and either "F_JACIN1" or "F_JACIN3" “F_J2 chance lip 1” to “F_J2 cherry lip” are “normal lip in bonus” and have the correspondence shown in FIGS. 33 to 39, when two heels are determined as internal winning combinations) Among the combinations of symbols, combinations of symbols other than "chance lip" are displayed.

  In addition, “F_J3 chance lip 1” to “F_J3 cherry lip” are winning combinations different in stop control depending on not only the internal winning combination but also the gaming state. Specifically, in the bonus non-winning condition, “F_J3 chance lip 1” to “F_J3 cherry lip” are the combinations of symbols according to the above-mentioned RT4 transition lip (see FIGS. 11 to 13) regardless of the pushing order. Display is permitted. In the non bonus condition, "F_J3 chance lip 1" to "F_J3 cherry lip" are determined as an internal winning combination only in the RT4 gaming mode, and therefore, while in the bonus non winning condition, "F_J3 chance lip 1" to When "F_J3 Cherry Lip" is determined as an internal winning combination, the RT4 gaming state is maintained.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, "F_J3 Chance Lip 1" to "F_J3 Cherry Lip" is the "Chance Lip" regardless of the type of the role associated with JACIN carrying over as the internal winning combination, as shown in FIGS. The display of a combination of symbols of any of “C_B Lip 01” to “C_Sui FKF_18” among combinations of symbols having a correspondence is permitted.

  When one of "F_chance lip 1" to "F_common bell" is determined as the internal winning combination, the display of the combination of the symbols having the correspondence shown in FIGS. 33 to 45 is permitted. In addition, the features such as the transition of the RT gaming state triggered by “F_chance lip 1” to “F_common bell” are as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, referring to FIG. 47, “F_123 bell A” to “F_321 bell D” are basically the above-described pushing order bells, and any of these pushing order bells is determined as an internal winning combination. In this case, the display of the combination of symbols having the correspondence shown in FIG. 40 to FIG. 45 is permitted. More specifically, "C_CD bell (see Fig. 19)" in the combinations of symbols having correspondences shown in Figs. 40 to 45 when the correct order is determined in the push order determined for each push order bell type. The display of the combination of symbols according to is permitted. On the other hand, when the pressing order is incorrect as determined for each pressing order bell type, the symbols corresponding to the above-mentioned bell spilled eyes (see FIG. 9) of the combinations of the symbols having the correspondence shown in FIGS. 40 to 45. In the combination of symbols or the symbol combination table, the display of combinations of symbols having a payout number of “3” (see FIGS. 19 to 21) is permitted.

  The name of the winning combination as the push order bell is determined based on the push order that is the correct answer. For example, "1" of the name "F_123 bell A" indicates that the stop operation is "left", "2" indicates that the stop operation is "medium", and "3" indicates that the stop operation is " It shows that it is "right." And "123" has shown the pushing order used as a correct answer, and in the case of "F_123 bell A", 1st stop operation is "left", 2nd stop operation is "middle", 3rd stop operation is "right" "" Indicates that it is a correct answer, and that it is an incorrect answer in the case of other push order. Similarly, in the case of "F_231 Bell A", the first stop operation is "medium", the second stop operation is "right", and the third stop operation is "left". It indicates that the case is incorrect.

  In addition, among push order bells, "F_123 Bell C" "F_123 Bell D" "F_132 Bell C" "F_132 Bell D" "F_213 Bell C" "F_213 Bell D" "F_231 Bell C" "F_231 Bell D" "F_312 Bell" C, “F_312 Bell D”, “F_321 Bell C”, and “F_321 Bell D” are winning combinations that have different stop controls depending on the gaming state as well as the internal winning combinations. Specifically, in the non-flag (RT0 gaming state to RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state) is the above-described pushing order bell, and when the pushing order is correct, the symbols having the correspondence shown in FIG. 40 to FIG. 45 The combination of symbols according to “C_CD bell (see FIG. 19)” of the combinations is permitted to be displayed, and when the pressing order is incorrect, among the combinations of symbols having the correspondence shown in FIGS. 40 to 45. The display of the combination of symbols according to the above-mentioned bell spilled eye (see FIG. 9) or the combination of symbols with the number of payouts “3” (see FIGS. 19 to 21) in the symbol combination table is permitted.

  On the other hand, in the inter-flag state (RT5 gaming state in the inter-flag state), “F_123 Bell C” “F_123 Bell D” “F_132 Bell C” “F_132 Bell D” “F_213 Bell C” “F_213 Bell D” “F_231 Bell "C", "F_231 Bell D", "F_312 Bell C", "F_312 Bell D", "F_321 Bell C" and "F_321 Bell D" are combinations of symbols having correspondences shown in Figs. 40 to 45 regardless of the pressing order. The display of the combination of symbols according to "C_CD bell (see Fig. 19)" is permitted.

  When one of "F_JACIN1", "F_JACIN2" and "F_JACIN3" is determined as the internal winning combination, the display of the combination of symbols having the correspondence shown in FIG. 27 is permitted. In addition, when one of "F_JACIN1", "F_JACIN2" and "F_JACIN3" is determined as the internal winning combination, "F_JACIN1", "F_JACIN2" and "F_JACIN3" determined as the internal winning combination have a combination of corresponding symbols It will be carried over as an internal winning combination until it is displayed (only in the bonus state).

  When one of "F_RB combination A" and "F_RB combination B" is determined as the internal winning combination, the display of the combination of the symbols having the correspondence shown in FIGS. 40 to 45 is permitted.

[Various storage areas on the main control side]
48 to 54 are diagrams showing examples of various storage areas stored in the main RAM 53.

<Internal winning combination storage area>
The internal winning combination storing area shown in FIG. 48 is constituted by 45 storage areas of the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 45. The size of the storage area of each of these internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 45 is 1 byte.

  Therefore, the total size of the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 45 is 45 bytes. The internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 45 store data (data indicating combinations of symbols that can be stopped according to the internal winning combination) determined based on the internal winning combination. In the illustrated internal winning combination storing area, for example, bit 2 of the internal winning combination storing area 4 corresponds to "C_BB1" indicating a combination of symbols which can be stopped when the internal winning combination "F_black / black / black" is set. .

<Holding part storage area>
The carryover combination storage area shown in FIG. 49 is a storage area having a size of 2 bytes, which is configured by two storage areas of the carryover combination storage areas 1 and 2. The data relating to the carryover combination is stored in the carryover combination storage area.

  For example, by storing “1” in bit 2 of the carryover combination storage area 1, it can be determined that the combination name “C_BB1” is in a state of winning “F_black and black and black” which can be stopped. The state in which "1" is stored in bit 2 of the carryover combination storage area 1 is held until the symbol combination corresponding to the combination name "C_BB1" is displayed on the pay line.

  That is, when winning "F_black black black", in at least one unit game until the combination of these bonus symbols is displayed on the pay line as a display combination, "2" of the carryover combination storage area 1 " The state in which 1 is stored is maintained. Maintaining a state in which "1" is stored in bit 2 from a unit game winning a bonus to a unit game winning is referred to as so-called "carry over". In addition, “F_black black black” “F_red red red” “F_white white white” “F_red red white” “F_white white red” “F_JACIN1” corresponding to the data (combination of symbols) stored in the holding position storage area “F_JACIN2” and “F_JACIN3” are referred to as “carrying over roles”.

  When the player performs a stop operation and rotation of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the internal winning combination storing area is initialized but the carryover combination storing area is not initialized. By doing this, it is possible to maintain the "carried over" state.

<Display combination storage area>
The display combination storing area shown in FIG. 50 is constituted by 45 storage areas of the display combination storing areas 1 to 45. The size of the storage area of each of the display combination storing areas 1 to 45 is 1 byte.

  Therefore, the total size of the display combination storing area 1 to 45 is 45 bytes. In the display combination storing area 1 to 45, data determined based on data (storage area type) defined by each symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 9 to 21 is stored. The value of the display combination storing area is used for the main CPU 51 to identify the display combination after all of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

  In the illustrated display combination storing area, for example, bit 0 to bit 7 of the display combination storing area 1 correspond to “R_RT transition point A_01” to “R_RT transition point C_01”, respectively.

<Playing state flag storage area>
The gaming state flag storage area shown in FIG. 51 stores a flag for identifying the gaming state managed by the main control circuit 41, and has a size of 1 byte.

  Bit 0 to bit 6 of the gaming state flag storage area are respectively “RT1 gaming state” “RT2 gaming state” “RT3 gaming state” “RT4 gaming state” “RT5 gaming state” “BB gaming state” “RB gaming state” It corresponds.

<Actual stop button storage area>
The operation stop button storage area shown in FIG. 52 is 1 byte in size. Bits 4 to 6 are storage areas indicating stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R that can detect a stop operation by the player, that is, valid stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R.

  Bits 0 to 2 are storage areas indicating the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R at which the stop operation corresponding to the valid stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R was detected immediately before. In the present embodiment, bit 3 and bit 7 are unused, and "0" is stored.

  Bit 0 corresponds to the left stop button 17L. When the left stop button 17L is operated by the player, “1” is stored in bit 0. Bit 1 corresponds to the middle stop button 17C. When the middle stop button 17C is operated by the player, “1” is stored in bit 1. Bit 2 corresponds to the right stop button 17R. When the right stop button 17R is operated by the player, "1" is stored in bit 2.

  Bit 4 corresponds to the left stop button 17L. When the left stop button 17L is valid, “1” is stored in bit 4. Bit 5 corresponds to the middle stop button 17C. When the middle stop button 17C is valid, "1" is stored in bit 5. Bit 6 corresponds to the right stop button 17R. When the right stop button 17R is valid, "1" is stored in bit 6.

  In the present embodiment, that the stop button is valid means that the stop operation can be detected. The stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R corresponding to the reels rotating at a constant speed, and the stop buttons 17L, 17C, 17R capable of detecting the stop operation are referred to as effective stop buttons.

<Pressing order storage area>
The pressing order storage area shown in FIG. 53 is an area for storing information indicating the pressing order of the three stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R. The pressing order storage area is one byte in size, bits 0 to 5 are used, bits 6 and 7 are unused, and "0" is stored.

  Bit 0 corresponds to the pressing order "left → middle → right", and "1" is stored (on) in bit 0 when the pressing order is "left → middle → right". Similarly, when the pressing order is "left → right → middle", "1" is stored (turned on) in bit 1 and when the pressing order is "middle → left → right", "1" in bit 2 Is stored (on), and “1” is stored in bit 3 (on) in the case of “middle → right → left”, and “1” is stored in bit 4 in the case of “right → left → middle” (“On”), “1” is stored (on) in bit 5 in the case of “right → middle → left”.

<Symbol code storage area>
The symbol code storage area shown in FIG. 54 is configured in the same manner as the display combination storage area shown in FIG. Therefore, the detailed description is omitted.

  The symbol code storage area stores data indicating combinations of symbols that may be displayed on the rotating reel. For example, when all of the reels 3L, 3C and 3R are rotating, all combinations of symbols may be displayed, so "1" is stored in all corresponding bits of the symbol code storage area. Ru. Thereafter, when the left reel 3L is stopped (reels 3C and 3R are rotated), the bit corresponding to the combination of symbols that can not be displayed as the left reel 3L stops is updated to "0".

[Transition flow of gaming state on the sub side]
Next, with reference to FIG. 55, the gaming state controlled by the sub control circuit 42 (sub CPU 81) of the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment and the transition flow thereof will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control circuit 42 manages the gaming state based on whether or not the content of the stop operation advantageous to the player is notified. As shown in FIG. 55, the sub control circuit 42 distinguishes between the general gaming state, the ART gaming state and the bonus state. Here, the general gaming state is basically a gaming state disadvantageous to the player, and the bonus state is basically a gaming state advantageous to the player, and the ART gaming state is a gaming state It is the most advantageous playing state for the disabled. In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the player will play a game from the normal gaming state (while holding the bonus state depending on the situation) to transition to the most advantageous ART gaming state.

  The normal gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the RT0 to RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) of the bonus non-winning condition on the main side (see FIG. 6), and the non-winning gaming state on the sub-side ART lottery. As shown in FIG. 55, the normal gaming state is constituted by a normal gaming state, a high probability gaming state, and a CZ (chance zone). The normal gaming state, the high probability gaming state, and the CZ are gaming states different in the transition probability to the ART gaming state, the normal gaming state has the lowest transition probability to the ART gaming state, and the high probability gaming state and the CZ are It is a gaming state in which the probability of transition to the ART gaming state is higher than that in the normal gaming state.

  The normal gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the RT0 to RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) of the bonus non-winning condition on the main side (see FIG. 6) and the non-winning gaming condition on the sub-side ART lottery. As shown in FIG. 55, from the normal gaming state, there is a possibility of transitioning to ART gaming state, CZ, high probability gaming state, and bonus state.

  Specifically, in the normal gaming state, the transition lottery to ART and CZ is performed, and in this transition lottery, when the transition to the (A1) ART is won, the sub control circuit 42 is in the normal gaming state Transition the gaming state from to the ART gaming state. Further, in this transition lottery, when the transition to (A2) CZ is won, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the normal gaming state to CZ. In addition, although the details of the transition lottery (A) in the normal gaming state will be described later, in the normal gaming state, transition to ART and CZ at two times of the reel rotation start and the reel stop in one game. Perform a lottery (A).

  Also, in the normal gaming state, the transition lottery to the high probability gaming state is also performed (B). Specifically, in the normal gaming state, when transitioning to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state by control of the gaming state on the main side, the transition to the high probability gaming state in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state lottery (B) Is done. When the transition lottery (B) is won, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the normal gaming state to the high probability gaming state. In addition, although the details of the transition lottery (B) in the normal gaming state will be described later, in this transition lottery, the role related to the replay in the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state which is the sub-normal gaming state is an internal winning combination. Based on the determined number of times, the migration lottery (B) is performed.

  In addition, in the normal gaming state, (6) a combination of symbols according to the carried over BB is displayed, and when the BB is activated, the secondary control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the normal gaming state to the bonus state. The transition to the bonus state is common to the main side and the sub side, so the detailed description will be omitted below.

  Subsequently, CZ is a gaming state corresponding to the RT0 to RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) in the bonus non-winning state on the main side, and in the gaming state not winning for the ART lottery on the sub side. CZ is a gaming state (chance zone) with a high probability of shifting to the ART gaming state, and continues up to 30 games. CZ is a so-called complete running type chance zone, and when CZ continues up to 30 games, ART transition is determined. On the other hand, during CZ, a transition lottery to ART is performed, and when this transition lottery is "maintained", CZ ends. Here, even if the transition lottery is "maintained", transition to ART is performed if the transition lottery is won, but it is more advantageous when CZ continues for 30 games. Since there is a possibility of transition to ART gaming state, basically, during CZ, the player plays a game without receiving the transition lottery, and if the transition lottery has been performed, the transition lottery becomes "invalid". By playing the game in such a way, CZ wants to continue for 30 games without ending. In addition, about "maintenance / invalidity" of migration lottery in CZ, it mentions later.

  As shown in FIG. 55, the CZ may shift to the normal gaming state, the ART gaming state, and the bonus state. Specifically, when (C1) is won in the transition lottery to ART performed during CZ, the secondary control circuit 42 causes the gaming state to transition from CZ to the ART gaming state, and to this transition lottery ((C1) C2) If not won, the secondary control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from CZ to the normal gaming state.

  Subsequently, the high probability gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) in the bonus non-winning state on the main side (see FIG. 6), and also in the gaming state not winning for the ART lottery on the sub side, Transition to the high probability gaming state in the normal gaming state It is a gaming state won the lottery (B). As shown in FIG. 55, the high probability gaming state may shift to the normal gaming state, the ART gaming state, and the bonus state.

  Specifically, in the high probability gaming state, the transition lottery (D) to ART is performed, and in this transition lottery, when the transition to (D1) ART is won, the sub control circuit 42 performs the high probability gaming state Transition the gaming state from to the ART gaming state. In addition, although the details of the transition lottery (D) in the high probability gaming state will be described later, basically, similarly to the transition lottery in the normal gaming state, the reel rotation start time and the reel in one game Transition to ART is carried out at two times at the time of stopping. The shift lottery (D) in the high probability gaming state has a higher probability of winning the transition to the ART than the transition lottery (A) in the normal gaming state.

  Further, the high probability gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) of the bonus non-winning state on the main side (refer to FIG. 6). When control is performed, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the high probability gaming state to the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state in which the bonus is not won).

  Here, as described above, the RT4 gaming state of the main side bonus non-winning state is, for example, in the case where the pushing order Lip is correct in the RT0 gaming state (sub-side normal gaming state) of the main side bonus non-winning state, etc. It is a gaming state to shift. As described above, in the pachislot 1 according to the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state, which is the most basic gaming state (= convenient for the player), the player shifts to the high probability gaming state when correct in the push order lip, to ART To favor the transition of In other words, in the Pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, when the player's stop operation happens to shift to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state, a penalty such as not performing ART transition lottery is given. Instead, it will be in an advantageous state for the player. As a result, in Pachislot 1, a bonus non-earning RT4 gaming state that has not won the ART transition lottery can be made a transition chance segment to the ART gaming state, and a bonus non- attached with a bonus of ART is not attached. It is possible to enhance the interest of the winning RT4 gaming state.

  Also, for the player, there is a possibility of transitioning to the high probability gaming state, which is a transition chance section to the ART gaming state, when correct in the normal gaming state in pushing order, so the strategy for the stop operation in the normal gaming state Sex can be increased, and the interest during normal gaming can also be enhanced. That is, in the game characteristic where the game state which has accidentally shifted by the player's stop operation is a penalty section, the stop operation in the normal game state is simple (for example, the first stop operation is left reel so as not to receive the penalty). And so on. In this respect, as in the case of the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the player can freely perform the stop operation during the normal gaming state by performing the transition lottery to the ART without imposing the penalty, and the normal gaming state Not only the playability inside but also the operability can be enhanced.

  By the way, if the gaming state accidentally shifted by the stop operation is not a penalty section but a transition chance section to the ART gaming mode, the player's profit and the game shop's profit so as not to give the player excessive profit. It is necessary to adjust the balance with. There are many conceivable ways to adjust the balance, for example, there is also an adjustment method in which it is easier to win the transition lottery slightly compared to the normal gaming state while keeping it as the transition chance segment to the ART gaming state. In the method, the meaning of the transition opportunity section fades away. In this respect, as shown in FIG. 6, in the pachislot 1 of this embodiment, the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state of the fixed game number is provided without transitioning to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state. And By providing the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state of the number of fixed games, it is possible to adjust the frequency of the accidental transition by the stop operation, and as a result, the profit of the player and the profit of the game store Balance can be adjusted. As a result, it is possible to further diversify the variable for adjusting the balance of profits between the two, and it is possible to provide a gaming machine rich in playability.

  Subsequently, the bonus state is a gaming state corresponding to one of the bonus states on the main side (see FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 55, from the bonus state, there is a possibility of transitioning to the normal gaming state (normal gaming state) and the ART gaming state. Specifically, the transition to ART performed during the bonus state, when the player wins (F1), the secondary control circuit 42 causes the gaming state to transition from the bonus state to the ART gaming state when winning (F1). If the transition lottery is not won (F2), the secondary control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the bonus state to the normal gaming state after the BB operation ends. In addition, although the details of the transition lottery (F) in the bonus state will be described later, in the bonus state, when the combination of the above-mentioned “7 sets of Lips” becomes displayable, it wins ART, and BB If you win a predetermined lottery which will be done at the end of the operation of, will win the ART.

  Subsequently, the ART gaming state is a gaming state in which the content of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is informed, and corresponds to the RT4 gaming state (see FIG. 6) of the bonus non-winning condition on the main side (see FIG. 6). It is the game state which won the ART lottery. In the ART gaming state, for example, when a push order bell is determined as an internal winning combination, a combination of symbols with a large number of payouts (C_CD bell with 10 payouts) is displayed. Report the pressing order of the correct answer. In addition, in the ART gaming state, for example, when the pushing order lip is determined as the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that maintain the RT4 gaming state with high probability that the combination related to the replay is determined as the internal winning combination (for example, Inform the winning push order of the correct pushing order so that the RT4 transition lip is displayed.

  Further, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the ally character and the enemy character fight (battle) during the ART gaming state, and the ART gaming state is continued when the ally character wins, and the ART is played when the enemy character wins. End the gaming state. In order to give such a playability, the ART gaming state is constituted by an enemy determination ART and a battle ART as shown in FIG.

  The enemy determination ART is an ART gaming state of a period in which the type of enemy character playing against the ally character is determined. As shown in FIG. 55, there is a possibility of transition to a battle ART and a bonus state from the enemy determination ART. Specifically, when an enemy character is determined in (G) enemy determination ART, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the game state from the enemy determination ART to the battle ART. In addition, the determination method of the enemy character in enemy determination ART is mentioned later.

  In addition, the battle ART is an ART gaming state in a period in which the enemy character decided in the enemy determination ART and the ally character fight against each other. As shown in FIG. 55, from the battle ART, there is a possibility of transition to an enemy determination ART, a general gaming state (normal gaming state) and a bonus state. Specifically, in the battle (H) in the battle ART, when the (H1) ally character wins, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the battle ART to the enemy determination ART, and the (H2) enemy character wins. Then, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the battle ART to the general gaming state. In addition, the determination method of the victory or defeat of battle (H) in battle ART is mentioned later.

[Correspondence between main side and sub side of winning combination]
FIG. 56 is a diagram showing a part of the correspondence between the types of winning combinations managed on the main (main control circuit 41) side and the abbreviations of winning combinations managed on the sub (sub control circuit 42) side. On the sub side, the winning combinations on the main side are managed by the abbreviations shown in the correspondence table of FIG. In addition, with regard to "off", it may be referred to as "pure out" only during the RT4 gaming state. Further, the correspondence relationship between the main side and the sub side of the winning combination can be made different depending on the game state. In this regard, the correspondence shown in FIG. 56 indicates the correspondence in the gaming state other than the bonus state, and the correspondence in the bonus state is illustrated in FIG.

[Overview of Effects Performed on Liquid Crystal Display Device 10]
FIG. 57 shows an example of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 10. In FIG. 57, the liquid crystal display device 10 is divided into three areas of a first display area 101, a second display area 102, and a display window 4 in order to simplify the description. The region of the will be formed in a united manner.

  The first display area 101 is an area where main effects are performed. In the example shown in FIG. 57, a display example during the battle ART is shown. During the battle ART, as shown in FIG. 57, the ally character and the enemy character fight against each other, and by reducing their physical strength (HP) by each attack / defense, an effect of winning and losing is performed. . The display window 4 is as described above, and displays a part of the symbols drawn on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  In the second display area 102, an apocalypse 103 that affects various types of lottery performed on the sub (sub control circuit 42) side is displayed. The apocalypse 103 includes five areas 103A, 103B, 103C, 103D, and 103E in which effect balls to be described later are set. In the area 103A, effect balls affecting various lottery in the current game are set, in the area 103B effect balls affecting various lottery in the next game are set, and in the area 103C, two gaming destinations are In the game, the effect balls affecting various lottery are set, in the area 103D, the effect balls affecting various lottery in the game of 3 gaming destinations are set, and in the area 103E, various lottery in the gaming of 4 gaming destinations The production ball that affects the is set. That is, in the apocalypse 103, effect balls that affect various lottery in five games including the current game are set. In the effect balls set in the apocalypse 103, the set areas are updated as the game progresses. The apocalypse 103 is activated to set any rendering ball (including a blank (empty)), and the rendering ball is not set when not in operation.

  Specifically, in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, the apocalypse 103 may operate or may not be activated, and operates by winning an operation lottery described later. When the apocalypse 103 is activated in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, in the areas 103A to 103E, as shown in FIG. 57, one of the lottery ball 1, the lottery ball 2, the lottery ball 3, the lottery ball 4, and the determined ball The production ball of is set. The lottery balls 1 to 1 set in the apocalypse 103 in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state have an influence on the above-described transition lottery (A) (D). More specifically, the lottery balls 1 to 1 set in the area 103A have an influence on the above-described transition lottery (A) (D) in the current game.

  In addition, the above-mentioned transition lottery (A) (D) is performed twice at the time of the reel rotation start and the time of the reel stop in one game. Among these, with respect to transition lottery (A) (D) performed at the time of reel rotation start (start), lottery balls 1 to 1 set in region 103A are selected as lottery results regardless of the internal winning combination. Have an impact on On the other hand, with respect to transition lottery (A) (D) performed at the time of reel stop, the combination of balls for lottery balls 1 to set ball set in area 103A is “bell winning” or more in combination of symbols displayed at the time of reel stop Only when there is an impact on the lottery results. In addition, "bell prize" is that the combination of the symbol at the time of pushing order correct in the pushing order bell is displayed, or the combination of the symbols according to the common bell is displayed, and "bell winning" or more The symbol combination may be displayed according to one of the “bell prize” or the rare character such as chan lip, strong cherry, weak cherry, fixed part, watermelon, and net out (see FIG. 56). It is.

  In the lottery balls 1 to the determination ball, the influence given to the transition lottery (A) (D) is different from each other. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 57, the lottery ball 1 has a low probability of winning of CZ or higher (CZ or ART), the lottery ball 2 has a middle probability of winning of CZ or more, and the lottery ball 3 has The winning probability of CZ or higher is a high probability, and the lottery ball 4 has a winning of CZ or higher, and the winning ball has a winning of ART.

  Subsequently, in CZ, the apocalypse 103 always works. In CZ, as shown in FIG. 57, in the areas 103A to 103E of the apocalypse 103, one of the effect balls of the development ball and the avoidance ball is set, or a blank (empty) state in which no effect balls are also set. The development ball set in the apocalypse 103 in CZ, the avoidance ball, affects the transition lottery to the above-mentioned ART performed during CZ. More specifically, the development ball and the avoidance ball set in the area 103A affect the above-described transition to ART in the current game and the lottery (C).

  Specifically, in the case where the development ball is set in the area 103A, when the push order bell is determined as the internal winning combination, the above-mentioned transition lottery (C) to ART is performed. And, when the stop operation is performed in this game, if the stop operation is the correct stop operation in the order of pressing determined for the winning order bell, the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) Becomes "invalid". On the other hand, if the stopping operation is the stopping operation of the incorrect answer in the pushing order defined for the winning order bell, the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) becomes “maintain”. As described above, CZ is a full run CZ, and CZ ends when the transition lottery (C) performed in the middle stage before the full run is “maintained”. Therefore, in the game in which the development ball is set in the area 103A, the player desires that the pushing order bell is not determined as the internal winning combination (transition lottery (C) itself is not performed), and temporarily pushing order. If Bell is determined to be an internal winning combination, it is desired that the correct order is correct (transition lottery (C) becomes invalid).

  On the other hand, the avoidance ball and the blank (empty) are effect balls which do not perform the above-mentioned transition to the ART and the lottery (C) even if the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination. From the player's point of view, in the game in which the avoidance ball and the blank (empty) are set, it is possible to play the game with ease.

  Subsequently, in the enemy determination ART, the apocalypse 103 always operates. In the enemy determination ART, as shown in FIG. 57, one of the effect balls of the boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 and the ally ball is set in the areas 103A to 103E of the apocalypse 103. The boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 set in the apocalypse 103 in the enemy determination ART, and the ally balls affect the lottery of the hostile determination performed during the enemy determination ART. More specifically, the boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 and the ally ball set in the area 103A have an influence on the selection of enemy determination in this game.

  Specifically, when any one of the boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 is set in the area 103A, the pushing order bell (which may include the common bell) is determined as the internal winning combination. A boss corresponding to the type of boss ball being selected is determined as an opponent in the battle ART. The bosses corresponding to the boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 are enemy characters having different features, respectively, which will be described in detail later. On the other hand, when one of the boss ball 1 to the boss ball 8 is set in the area 103A, if a player other than pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination, the enemy character of the opponent is not determined, and the enemy determination is made. ART will continue. In addition, when any of boss balls 1 to boss balls 8 is set in the area 103A, any of net removal, watermelon, weak cherries, strong cherries, or chan lip (a so-called rare role) is determined as an internal winning combination If so, the opponent is not determined, and stock lottery of ally balls is performed. In the situation where the stock lottery is won and the ally balls are stocked, the boss balls 1 to the boss ball 8 set in the apocalypse will be rewritten to the ally balls.

  Further, when an ally ball is set in the area 103A during the enemy determination ART, a lottery is performed to increase the physical strength (HP) of the ally character based on the internal winning combination. When winning this lottery, the strength of the ally character is increased, and the expectation of the ally character to win in the subsequent battle ART is increased.

  Subsequently, in battle ART, apocalypse 103 always operates. In the battle ART, as shown in FIG. 57, one of the effect balls of the ally ball, the enemy ball, and the awakening ball is set in the areas 103A to 103E of the apocalypse 103. The ally balls, the enemy balls, and the awakening balls set in the apocalypse 103 in the battle ART affect the result of the battle performed during the battle ART. More specifically, the ally ball, the enemy ball, and the awakening ball set in the area 103A affect the battle in the current game or the subsequent game.

  Specifically, when an allied ball or an enemy ball is set in the area 103A, if a pushing order bell or a common bell is determined as an internal winning combination, a character according to the type of the set effect ball is selected. Attack the opponent in the game. For example, when an ally ball is set, the ally character attacks the enemy character, and as a result, the enemy character's strength (HP) decreases. On the other hand, when the enemy ball is set, the enemy character attacks the ally character, and as a result, the strength (HP) of the ally character decreases.

  On the other hand, when an allied ball or an enemy ball is set in the area 103A, it is determined that any of net loss, watermelon, weak cherries, strong cherries, or chan lip (so-called rare role) is determined as an internal winning combination, The ally character attacks the enemy character regardless of the type of effect ball set. In this case, the physical strength (HP) of the enemy character is basically reduced more than when the pushing order bell is determined to be the internal winning combination.

  In addition, when the awakening ball is set in the area 103A, the ally character is determined as being selected as an internal winning combination of push order bell, common bell, pure miso, watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, or chan lip. While attacking the enemy character, an alloy ball is stocked. Then, when the ally ball is stocked, the enemy ball set in the apocalypse is rewritten to the ally ball by the stocked amount. As a result, the situation in which the teammate character attacks is increased thereafter, and as a result, the degree of expectation for the teammate character to win in the battle ART increases.

[ART and CZ lottery in normal gaming state and high probability gaming state]
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 58 to 72, the details of the transition lottery (A) (D) to ART and CZ performed during the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state will be described. FIG. 58 is a schematic diagram of the transition lottery (A) (D) performed during the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, and FIGS. 59 to 72 are referred to during the transition lottery (A) (D). Various data tables. The various data tables shown in FIGS. 59 to 72 are stored in the sub ROM 82.

<Overview of Transitional Sorting (A) (D)>
58, in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, when the start operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the internal winning combination is determined along with the control of main control circuit 41. . In the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, when the internal winning combination is determined, first, the transition lottery (A) (D) of ART and CZ at the start is performed. In this transitional lottery at the start (A) (D), basically, the winning probability of ART or CZ differs depending on the gaming state, and the higher probability gaming state is the winning of ART or CZ than the normal gaming state. The probability is high. In addition, in the transition lottery at the start (A) (D), as will be described later, ART by not only the gaming state but also the internal winning combination and the effect ball (lottery ball 1 to finalized ball) set in the area 103A Or the winning probability of CZ is different.

  In addition, in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, when the internal winning combination is determined, the apocalypse lottery of whether to operate the apocalypse is performed. The apocalypse lottery has different winning probabilities depending on the winning mode of the apocalypse operation. Specifically, the winning mode of the apocalypse operation includes low mode, high mode and concentrated mode (each in the state of short, middle, and long, respectively), and it is low for winning the apocalypse in the concentrated mode. In mode and high mode do not win apocalypse activation. In the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, the winning mode of the apocalypse operation is shifted based on the internal winning combination, and the apocalypse is activated when upgraded to the concentrated mode.

  Thereafter, when the stop operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the transition lottery (A) (D) of ART and CZ at the time of the reel stop is performed according to the presence or absence of the operation of the apocalypse. Specifically, when the apocalypse is activated, to ART and CZ based on the combination of the effect ball (lottery ball 1 to confirmed ball) set in the area 103A and the symbols of "bell prize" or more. Perform the migration lottery (A) (D). The transition lottery (A) (D) at the time of the reel stop differs in the winning probability of ART or CZ depending on the effect ball set in the area 103A.

<Various data tables to be referred to in migration lottery (A) (D)>
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 59 to 72, transition lottery to ART and CZ performed during the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state will be specifically described.

<Start ART lottery table>
59 to 61 are diagrams showing start ART lottery tables to be referred to in transition random determination (A) and (D) at the start in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. At start time, the ART lottery table defines information of lottery values for the lottery result for each of the current gaming state, the effect balls set in the area 103A, and the internal winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, on the sub (sub control circuit 42) side, the effect random number values extracted from the predetermined numerical value range “0 to 32767” are sequentially subtracted by the lottery value according to each lottery result, A lottery is performed by determining whether the result of the subtraction is negative (whether a so-called "worried" has occurred).

  Referring to the start-art ART lottery table shown in FIGS. 59 to 60, during the normal gaming state, the probability of winning CZ or ART varies depending on the effect balls set in the area 103A, and the internal winning combination is also made. It can be seen that the probability of winning CZ or ART varies accordingly. In addition, comparing the start ART lottery table shown in FIGS. 59 to 60 with the start ART lottery table shown in FIG. 61, in the high probability gaming state, winning in ART with a higher probability than the normal gaming state I understand. Similarly, referring to the start ART lottery table shown in FIG. 61, it can be seen that in the high probability gaming state, although CZ is not won, the probability of winning ART is high.

<Mode transition lottery table>
62 to 66 are mode transition lottery tables to be referred to in the transition lottery of the winning mode of the apocalypse operation in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. The mode transition lottery table defines information on the lottery value for the transition destination winning mode, whether or not the apocalypse is currently operating, the current winning mode of the apocalypse operation, and for each internal winning combination. Whether or not the apocalypse is currently operating is determined by the apocalypse flag, and when the apocalypse flag is "0", it means that the apocalypse is not in operation, and when the apocalypse flag is "1", the apocalypse is activated. It means being inside.

  As described above, the winning modes of the apocalypse operation include a low mode, a high mode and a concentrated mode, and each mode is provided with states such as short, middle and long. The low mode, the high mode and the concentration mode are winning modes that have different winning expectations for the apocalypse lottery whether or not to operate the apocalypse as described above. In addition, short, middle and long are states which define whether it is easy to shift to a more advantageous winning mode or to a more unfavorable winning mode. Specifically, a short is a state in which it is most difficult to shift to a more advantageous winning mode, and a state in which a short is more likely to shift to a more disadvantageous winning mode, and the middle is more difficult to shift to a more advantageous win mode. The state and the condition that makes it easier to shift to the more disadvantageous winning mode, and the long is the condition that makes it easier to shift to the more advantageous winning mode and the condition that makes it harder to shift to the more disadvantageous winning mode.

  As shown in FIGS. 62 to 64, in the case of the apocalypse non-operation (the apocalypse flag 0), the winning mode basically rises in the order of the low mode, the high mode and the concentration mode, and once rises to the concentration mode And does not go down to low mode and high mode until the apocalypse is activated.

<Apocalypse activated lottery table>
FIG. 67 shows an apocalypse activated lottery table to be referred to in the apocalypse lottery in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. The apocalypse activation lottery table defines, for each apocalypse activation mode, whether or not the apocalypse is currently operating, and for each internal winning combination, information on the lottery value regarding the operation of the apocalypse. Here, the operation of the apocalypse is performed over the game of the guaranteed number of times added / subtracted as a result of the apocalypse lottery. Specifically, as a result of the apocalypse lottery, the guarantee number is added by the number corresponding to the winning of “Apocalypse in operation _ Security 1 addition” to “Apocalypse in operation _ Security 5 addition”, “Apocalypse in operation _ Security The number of guarantees is decremented by one when the subtraction is won. Then, when the number of guarantees becomes 0 as a result of the addition / subtraction, the operation of the apocalypse ends (the apocalypse flag changes from 1 to 0). If the number of guarantees is one or more when the apocalypse flag is 0, the apocalypse flag is updated from 0 to 1, and the apocalypse is activated.

  Also, in the apocalypse activated lottery table, “no apocalypse activated” means that the apocalypse lottery is not won, and the apocalypse flag is maintained at 0. Similarly, “Apocalypse active_maintain” means to maintain the operation of the apocalypse without adding or subtracting the guarantee count, and the apocalypse flag is maintained at 1.

  Referring to the apocalypse activation lottery table in FIGS. 67 (A) and (B), when the apocalypse is not currently operating, the activation of the apocalypse may start only when the winning mode is the centralized mode. I understand. Therefore, the pachislot 1 may have an effect that suggests the current winning mode. For example, moving the movable character 22 can indicate the current winning mode. Specifically, the probability of moving the movable part 22 is made different according to the winning mode, for example, in the situation where the user stays in the concentration mode, the probability of moving the movable part 22 is increased, and the high mode or the low mode is set. In the situation in which the user is staying, an aspect may be considered in which the probability of moving the movable role 22 is lowered. Similarly, in the apocalypse lottery, an effect may be given that indicates the degree of expectation that the apocalypse will be activated (the number of guarantees is added). In particular, the presentation of the suggestion of the degree of expectation may be performed with a thing different from the movable part 22.

<Apocalypse MAP lottery table>
FIGS. 68 and 69 show an apocalypse MAP lottery table for lottery an apocalypse MAP for determining an effect ball to be set in an active apocalypse in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, basically, the larger the MAP number is, the more advantageous the player is. This point is not limited to the apocalypse MAP, and the same applies to other MAPs described later. The apocalypse MAP lottery table of FIG. 68 is a table to be referred to when the apocalypse is activated (the apocalypse flag is updated from 0 to 1). Further, the apocalypse MAP lottery table of FIG. 69 is a table to be referred to when the MAP data defined for each apocalypse MAP is 0.

  The apocalypse MAP lottery table defines, for each current apocalypse MAP, information on a lottery value for the migration destination apocalypse MAP. At the initial stage of power on, “MAP0” is set as the apocalypse MAP.

<MAP data correspondence table>
In the apocalypse MAP, MAP data for defining a rendering ball to be set in the active apocalypse is defined. FIG. 70 is a diagram showing a correspondence table of MAP data defined in each apocalypse MAP. As shown in FIG. 70, in the apocalypse MAP1, MAP data “1” is defined in the first game, and MAP data “0” is defined in the second game. When MAP data “0” is defined, a new apocalypse MAP is to be extracted with reference to the apocalypse MAP lottery table shown in FIG.

<Apocalypse operation production ball lottery table>
FIG. 71 shows an apocalypse activation-time effect ball lottery table for determining an effect ball to be set to an apocalypse in operation in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. The apocalypse operation time production ball lottery table defines information on the lottery value for the production ball set for each MAP data. As shown in FIG. 71, an effect ball more advantageous to the player is set as the MAP data is larger. In FIG. 71, the finalized ball is not lottery. Although this point and explanation are omitted, for example, it is possible to upgrade from the lottery ball 1 to the lottery ball 4 to the finalized ball by performing lottery for upgrading the production balls set at the winning of the role of rare, etc. It is also good.

  Further, in FIG. 71, information of lottery value for the effect ball is also defined for the MAP data “0”. As described above, in the case of the MAP data "0", a new apocalypse MAP is extracted. Here, either of the lottery of the new apocalypse MAP and the lottery of the effect ball based on the MAP data “0” may be prioritized. In this respect, in the pachislot 1 according to the present embodiment, when the lottery of the directing ball is not performed even once in the lottery apocalypse MAP, the lottery of the directing ball based on the MAP data “0” has priority, and the lottery apocalypse In the case where lottery of directing balls is performed even once in MAP, priority is given to lottery of a new apocalypse MAP. For example, in the case of the apocalypse MAP “0”, since all the MAP data among the 5 games are “0” (see FIG. 70), lottery of the effect ball based on the MAP data “0” is performed once, and then new Sort the apocalypse MAP. On the other hand, in the case of the apocalypse MAP “1”, the MAP data of the first game is “1” and the MAP data of the second game is “0” (see FIG. 70), so an effect based on the MAP data “0” A new apocalypse MAP is lottery after lottery of a production ball based on MAP data “1” without lottery of balls.

  This point also applies to other MAPs described later. Specifically, MAP data “0” performs lottery based on MAP data “0” only in the first game, and in the case of second game transition, without performing lottery based on MAP data “0”. , Lottery a new MAP. When such control is performed, the lottery based on the MAP data "0" is not performed in the MAP whose MAP number is "1" or more.

<Flow of set of directing balls to apocalypse>
Here, the flow at the time of setting the effect ball to the apocalypse will be specifically described. When the apocalypse flag is updated from 0 to 1 in order to win the apocalypse lottery, the apocalypse is activated. In accordance with the operation of the apocalypse, the sub control circuit 42 determines a predetermined number of rendering balls and sets the apocalypse. As shown in FIG. 57, since the apocalypse includes five areas for setting the effect balls, in the present embodiment, the sub control circuit 42 determines five effect balls and sets them in the apocalypse .

  When the apocalypse flag is updated from 0 to 1 in winning the apocalypse lottery, the apocalypse MAP is extracted by the apocalypse MAP lottery table shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the current apocalypse MAP is “3”. Referring to the apocalypse MAP lottery table shown in FIG. 68, for example, the apocalypse MAP “4” is extracted from the current apocalypse MAP “3”. In the apocalypse MAP “4”, as shown in FIG. 70, “1” is defined as MAP data for the first game, and “0” is defined as MAP data for the second game. Therefore, the sub control circuit 42 randomly selects the first effect ball based on the MAP data "1" of the first game. As a result, referring to the apocalypse operation effect ball lottery table shown in FIG. 71, “lottery ball 1” is determined as the first effect ball.

  Subsequently, the sub control circuit 42 refers to the MAP data of the second game of the apocalypse MAP “4”. As shown in FIG. 70, since the MAP data of the second game is “0”, the sub control circuit 42 performs lottery of a new apocalypse MAP without performing lottery of effect balls. Specifically, with reference to the apocalypse MAP lottery table referred to at the time of MAP data “0” shown in FIG. 69, the migration-destination apocalypse MAP is extracted from the current apocalypse MAP “4”. In the example shown in FIG. 69, the apocalypse MAP “5” is extracted as the migration destination apocalypse MAP. In the apocalypse MAP “5”, as shown in FIG. 70, “2” is defined as MAP data of the first game, and “0” is defined as MAP data of the second game. Therefore, the sub control circuit 42 randomly selects the second effect ball based on the MAP data "2" of the first game. As a result, referring to the apocalypse operation effect ball lottery table shown in FIG. 71, for example, “lottery ball 3” is determined as the second effect ball.

  Subsequently, the sub control circuit 42 refers to the MAP data of the second game of the apocalypse MAP “5”. As shown in FIG. 70, since the MAP data of the second game is “0”, the sub control circuit 42 performs lottery of a new apocalypse MAP without performing lottery of effect balls. Specifically, with reference to the apocalypse MAP lottery table referred to at the time of MAP data “0” shown in FIG. 69, the migration-destination apocalypse MAP is sorted out from the current apocalypse MAP “5”. Referring to FIG. 69, for example, apocalypse MAP “1” is randomly selected as the migration-destination apocalypse MAP. In the apocalypse MAP “1”, as shown in FIG. 70, “1” is defined as MAP data of the first game, and “0” is defined as MAP data of the second game. Therefore, the sub control circuit 42 randomly selects the third effect ball based on the MAP data “1” of the first game. As a result, referring to the apocalypse operation effect ball lottery table shown in FIG. 71, for example, “lottery ball 1” is determined as the third effect ball.

  Likewise, when five effect balls are repeatedly determined in the same manner, the sub control circuit 42 ends the lottery of the effect balls, and sets the determined effect balls in the apocalypse in order. Although the order of setting the determined effect balls in the apocalypse is arbitrary, for example, the sub control circuit 42 sets the areas 103A, 103B, 103C, 103D, and 103E in order from the first determined effect ball. .

  After that, when the game progresses and the next game comes, the effect balls set in the areas 103A to 103E slide one by one, and the area 103E becomes blank (empty). In this case, also when the apocalypse flag is “1” (when the number of guarantees remains) in the game, the lottery of the effect ball is performed again, and a new effect ball is set in the area 103E. On the other hand, when the apocalypse flag is “0” in the game (when the number of times of guaranteeing as a result of the previous game is not left), the operation of the apocalypse is already finished, and the lottery of the effect balls is not performed.

<ART lottery table at reel stop>
FIG. 72 is a view showing a reel stop time ART lottery table referred to in transition lottery (A) (D) at the time of reel stop in the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state. The reel stop time ART lottery table defines information of lottery values for the lottery result for each effect ball set in the area 103A. Here, as described above, in the transition lottery (A) and (D) when the reel is stopped, the effect ball set in the area 103A is such that the combination of symbols displayed when the reel is stopped is "bell winning" or more As long as it affects the lottery results. Therefore, the ART lottery table at the reel stop shown in FIG. 72 is a table referred to only when the combination of the symbols displayed at the time of the reel stop is “bell prize winning” or more when the effect ball is set in the area 103A. is there.

  Referring to the ART lottery table at the time of reel stop shown in FIG. 72, the probability of winning in CZ or ART differs depending on the effect ball set in area 103A, and in particular, in the case of lottery ball 4 and determined ball, CZ or ART is It turns out that you will win successfully.

[Game in High Probability Game State]
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 73 and FIG. 74, the flow of games other than the transition lottery (D) in the high probability gaming state will be described. As described above, the high probability gaming state corresponds to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state on the main side, and the main side transitions from the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state. The probability gaming state also ends, and it shifts to the normal gaming state. As described above, the case in which the main side shifts from the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is a case where the pushing order bell or pushing order lip is incorrect. Here, if the high probability gaming state is ended immediately and the normal gaming state is entered despite the transition from the normal gaming state to the high probability gaming state, the interest will be lost. Therefore, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the high probability gaming state, the pushing order bell or pushing order lip is informed of the pushing order of the correct answer only for a predetermined number of times.

  FIG. 73 is a schematic diagram of a flow of gaming in the high probability gaming state, and FIG. 74 is a data table referred to in the high probability gaming state. The data table shown in FIG. 74 is stored in sub ROM 82.

<Summary of flow of game in high probability game state>
Referring to FIG. 73, when a combination of symbols relating to the RT4 transition ripple is displayed during ART transition lottery in the normal gaming state and not winning, transition to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is made on the main side. At this point, the sub-side gaming state is the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state). In this normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), when the start operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the internal winning combination is determined in accordance with the control of the main control circuit 41. In the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), when the internal winning combination is determined, the lottery of the avoidance points is performed based on the determined internal winning combination. When an avoidance point is obtained in this lottery, the sub control circuit 42 shifts the gaming state from the normal gaming state to the high probability gaming state for the first time. The shift lottery to the high probability gaming state described above in FIG. 55 corresponds to the lottery of the avoidance points.

  In the high probability gaming state, a situation in which the main side shifts to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state on the main side is avoided based on the acquired avoidance points. Specifically, in the high probability gaming state, when the start operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the internal winning combination is determined in accordance with the control of the main control circuit 41. The sub control circuit 42 determines, based on the internal winning combination, whether or not there is a possibility of shifting to the RT1 gaming state in which the bonus is not won. More specifically, if the internal winning combination is a push order bell or push order lip, the sub control circuit 42 determines that there is a possibility of transition to the RT1 gaming state in which the bonus is not won.

  When there is a possibility of transition to the RT1 gaming state of bonus non-winning state, the secondary control circuit 42 corrects the pushing order bell or pushing order lip determined as the internal winning combination only when the avoidance point remains. Informing the order of pushing. By receiving this notification, the player can perform the stop operation in the order of pressing the correct answer, and the high probability gaming state ends (that is, it shifts to the RT1 gaming state where the bonus is not won). Can be avoided. In the case where there is no avoidance point, the player himself selects the pressing order that is correct.

Thereafter, when the stop operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the transition of the gaming state is performed on the main side based on the combination of the displayed symbols. Specifically, when a bell spill or RT1 transition lip is displayed, it shifts to the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state, and otherwise, the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-earning state is maintained. . On the sub side, when the gaming state on the main side shifts to the RT1 gaming state where the bonus is not won, the secondary control circuit 42 ends the high probability gaming state and starts the normal gaming state from the next game. On the other hand, when the main-side gaming state maintains the RT4 gaming state where the bonus is not won, the sub control circuit 42 maintains the high probability gaming state, and sets the next game to the high probability gaming state.
The above flow is the flow of the game in the high probability game state.

<Avoidance point lottery table>
FIG. 74 shows an avoidance point lottery table which is referred to in the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state). The avoidance point lottery table defines the number of replays determined as an internal winning combination during the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), and information of lottery values for avoidance points to be added for each internal winning combination in the current game . As shown in FIG. 74, in the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), different avoidance point lottery tables are referred to based on the number of times that replay is determined as an internal winning combination. In FIG. 74, although the number of times that replay is determined as an internal winning combination is different between “0 times” and “one or more times”, the number of times that the tables are different is not limited to this. .

  Referring to the avoidance point lottery table shown in FIG. 74, in the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state), if the replay is determined as an internal winning combination one or more times, the probability that an avoidance point is awarded increases, and in particular, the replay is 1 In Replays determined as internal winning combinations after being determined by internal winning combinations more than times, avoidance points are more likely to be awarded. As described above, in the RT4 gaming state, there is a high probability that the role related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination, and therefore, when the normal gaming state (RT4 gaming state) continues several games, avoidance points are awarded. It will be

[Game in CZ]
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 75 to FIG. 80, the flow of the game in CZ will be described. FIG. 75 is a schematic diagram of the flow of gaming in CZ, and FIGS. 76 to 81 are data tables referred to in CZ. The data tables shown in FIGS. 75 to 80 are stored in the sub ROM 82.

<Overview of the flow of games in CZ>
As described above, when winning CZ in the transition lottery (A) (D) in the normal gaming state or the high probability gaming state, the gaming state shifts to CZ. As shown in FIG. 75, in the first game after transition to CZ, when rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R starts along with the start operation, lottery of CZ_MAP is performed. The CZ is a complete run type chance zone that continues for up to 30 games, while the transition to ART performed midway is terminated when the lottery (C) is "maintained". The transition to ART performed in the middle of CZ is such that the winning probability of ART increases as CZ continues. The CZ_MAP is used to set the number of games in which the ART winning probability increases in the transition to ART performed in the middle of the CZ.

  When CZ_MAP is lottery in the first game after CZ transition, lottery of invalid points is subsequently performed. The lottery of invalid points includes lottery of an initial value performed in the first game after transition to CZ, and addition lottery performed on each game in CZ. The invalid point is information that defines the number of times that the transition lottery to the ART performed in the middle of CZ is made “invalid”.

  Then, the lottery of the production balls set in the apocalypse is performed. Thereafter, in a game other than the 30th game of CZ, it is determined whether or not a development ball is set in the current game, that is, whether or not a development ball is set in the area 103A. If the development ball is set in the game this time, there is a possibility that the transition lottery to the ART in the middle of CZ may be performed (C), and basically, if the development ball is not set, this is basically the case. Migration lottery (C) is not performed. Specifically, when the development ball is set, the invalidation point is 0, and the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination, the transition lottery (C) to ART in the middle of CZ is performed. In addition, the transition lottery in CZ differs in winning probability of ART according to CZ mode, and always wins ART when it is CZ mode 1 or more. The above-mentioned CZ_MAP is a MAP that sets the number of games in which the CZ mode increases from 0 to 1 (see FIG. 77).

  Here, if the development ball is set in the current game and the invalidation point is 1 or more, or if the avoidance ball is set in the current game, an effect indicating the current CZ mode should be performed. It may be Specifically, since CZ_MAP is set to the number of games in which CZ mode goes from 0 to 1, the current CZ mode is 1 and CZ mode goes from 0 to 1 in a few more games. It can be specified from CZ_MAP if it goes up. If the current CZ mode is 1 or if the CZ mode goes from 0 to 1 within a few (for example, 2 or 3) games, the sub control circuit 42 is compared to the other cases. By performing effects in different modes, it is possible to perform effects that suggest the current CZ mode.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 75, in the game of the 30th game of CZ, transitional lottery (C) to ART is performed. In this case, a transition to ART based on CZ mode 2 is always carried out and the lottery (C) is performed, and the ART will be won if the chance zone is completed. And when CZ is completely run as mentioned above, it will shift to more advantageous ART gaming state.

  During CZ, if the transition to ART accompanying the development ball is performed at the start, the following process is performed. Specifically, after that, when the stop operation is performed and the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, it is determined whether or not the combination of displayed symbols is "bell prize winning" or more, that is, correct order of pushing bells Determine if you Then, if the correct order of push order bell is made, the result of the lottery of the transition lottery to the ART with the development ball (C) is invalidated regardless of whether or not the ART is won, and the CZ continues. become. On the other hand, in the case of incorrect answers in the pushing order of the pushing order bell, the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) to ART accompanying the development ball is maintained, and thereafter, the gaming state is shifted according to the lottery result.

  Thus, in CZ, as CZ continues, the probability of winning a transition to ART (lottery) (C) increases, and additionally, if CZ is completed, then transition to ART (lot) (C) must always be won, and The longer the CZ lasts, the more advantageous the player is in order to transition to an advantageous ART gaming state. Therefore, the player plays a game so that the CZ continues. Here, since the termination condition of the CZ is that the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) to ART is maintained, the player is not allowed to set the development ball in the apocalypse, and the development ball is made in the apocalypse In the set game, if the pushing order bell is not determined as the internal winning combination, and if the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination in the game in which the development ball is set in the apocalypse, The game will be played in order to be correct in pushing order.

<CZ_MAP lottery table>
FIG. 76 is a CZ_MAP lottery table referred to in the first game after CZ transition. The CZ_MAP lottery table defines information of lottery values for types of CZ_MAP. When transitioning to CZ, the sub control circuit 42 refers to the CZ_MAP lottery table and extracts CZ_MAP used in the CZ.

<CZ_MAP correspondence table>
FIG. 77 is a CZ_MAP correspondence table showing the contents of CZ_MAP extracted by the CZ_MAP extraction table. For each CZ_MAP, a CZ mode is set for each number of continued games in CZ. The CZ mode is information for setting the winning probability of ART in the transition to ART in CZ as described above, and the larger the CZ mode value is, the higher the winning probability of ART is set. ing. As shown in FIG. 77, each CZ_MAP is set so that the CZ mode is increased each time the number of continuing games in CZ is increased, and is not decreased once the CZ mode is increased. That is, each CZ_MAP is set such that the number of games to be moved from CZ mode 0 to CZ mode 1 is different. Further, in all CZ_MAPs, when the number of continuing games is 30, the CZ mode is set to be 2.

  In the present embodiment, only three types of CZ modes 0, 1 and 2 are provided as the CZ mode. However, according to the present invention, the CZ mode goes up each time the number of continued games in CZ increases, and once CZ. It is sufficient if the mode is set so as not to go down, and the types of CZ modes are not limited to three.

<Invalid point lottery table>
FIG. 78 shows an invalid point lottery table. The invalidation point lottery table is to invert the transition to ART performed when the push order is determined as the internal winning combination in the game in which the development ball in CZ is set, and infers the invalidation points to invalidate the lottery. Used for When the invalidation point is one or more, the transition lottery to ART performed when the push order bell is determined as the internal winning combination in the game in which the development ball is set is invalidated. In addition, when an invalidation point is 1 or more, it is good also as invalidating after performing a transition lottery (C) once, and it is good also as not performing a transition lottery (C) from the first.

  As described above, the lottery of invalid points includes the lottery of the initial value performed in the first game after the CZ transition, and the lottery of the extra carried out every CZ during the CZ. (A) of FIG. 78 is an invalid point lottery table used for lottery of initial values, and defines information of lottery values for invalid points determined as initial values. Further, (B) and (C) in FIG. 78 are invalidity point lottery tables used for the extra lottery, and the lottery for the invalidity points to be added for each type of effect ball and internal winning combination set in the current game Define value information.

<Effect ball lottery table>
FIG. 79 shows an effect ball lottery table used when lottery effect balls set in an apocalypse during CZ. It defines the information of the lottery value for the effect ball set for each final effect ball in the set. The final effect ball in the set is, for example, a effect ball set in the area 103E farthest from the current game. Referring to FIG. 79, when the final presentation ball in the set is a development ball, the development ball is not randomly selected. That is, during CZ, two development balls are not set in succession in the apocalypse areas 103A to 103E. On the other hand, when the final effect ball in the set is the other (blank or avoidance ball), the development ball is randomly selected at a predetermined probability.

  In CZ, either a development ball or an avoidance ball is set in the apocalypse, but as shown in the production ball lottery table, in the production ball lottery, only the development ball or blank (empty) is lottery, Avoidance ball is not lottery. Here, the avoidance ball is set to the apocalypse by rewriting the set development ball when the invalidation point is 1 or more and the development ball is set in the apocalypse. In addition, when an ineffective point is one or more, the timing which rewrites a development ball into an avoidance ball is arbitrary. For example, among the areas 103A to 103E, the development ball may not be rewritten to the avoidance ball until reaching the area 103B, and of course, the development ball may be rewritten to the avoidance ball at the time of the area 103E. Alternatively, the end of CZ may be avoided by maintaining the development ball even at the time of the area 103A and invalidating the transition lottery (C) itself.

<CZ ART ART lottery table>
FIG. 80 is a ART lottery table in CZ referred to in the transition lottery to ART in CZ. The ART lottery table in CZ defines the information of the lottery value for the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) for each presence or absence of winning in CZ mode and BB. Referring to the ART lottery table during CZ, it is understood that when BB is not won, the probability of winning ART is low when CZ mode is 0, and always won when CZ mode is 1 or more. In the CZ mode, if the winning probability of ART in the transitional lottery (C) or the advantage of ART at ART winning is larger, the larger the value, the more advantageous it is for the player, the more advantageous it is for the player. There is no need to set it up.

[Game in BB]
Next, with reference to FIG. 81 to FIG. 86, the flow of the game in the bonus state (also referred to as “in BB”) will be described. FIG. 81 is a diagram showing a part of the correspondence between the types of winning combinations managed on the main (main control circuit 41) side in BB and the abbreviations of winning combinations managed on the sub (sub control circuit 42) side. FIG. 82 is a schematic view of the flow of gaming in the BB, and FIGS. 83 to 86 are data tables referred to in the BB. The data tables shown in FIGS. 83 to 86 are stored in sub ROM 82.

<Correspondence between main side and sub side of winning combination>
FIG. 81 is a diagram showing a part of the correspondence between the types of winning combinations managed on the main (main control circuit 41) side in BB and the abbreviations of winning combinations managed on the sub (sub control circuit 42) side. is there. On the sub side, the winning combinations on the main side are managed by the abbreviations shown in the correspondence table of FIG. The correspondence relationship other than the winning combination shown in FIG. 81 is the same as that in FIG.

<Overview of the flow of games in BB>
As shown in FIG. 82, the game during BB is played triggered by the operation of BB. When the BB operation is performed, the BB mode is set to 0. Here, the BB mode is information for setting the winning probability of the ART in the transition lottery to the ART performed during the BB. The pachislot 1 of the present embodiment has BB modes 0 to 5 as the BB mode, and the winning probability of ART increases as the value of the BB mode increases.

  Subsequently, when the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started with the start operation during the BB, a transition lottery (F) to ART performed at the start during the BB is performed. This start transitional lottery (F) wins the ART when the sub-side abbreviation “7 allies rep” is determined as the internal winning combination regardless of the above-mentioned BB mode. I won't win ART.

  Subsequently, based on the internal winning combination in BB, BB mode mode up lottery is performed. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a winning combination which has the possibility of mode up for each current BB mode is defined. Although the details will be described later, in the Pachislot machine 1, as the BB mode goes up, the types of winning combinations that may be mode up are set to be smaller.

  Thereafter, when medals are paid out in response to the stop operation, it is determined whether or not to end the operation of the BB. In the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the operation of the BB ends when more than 59 medals are paid out in the BB. If more than 59 medals have not yet been paid out, the BB operation continues. On the other hand, when more than 59 medals are paid out, the transition to ART at the end of BB is performed. The transition lottery (F) at the end is a lottery performed according to the BB mode, and the larger the value of the BB mode, the higher the winning probability of the ART.

<ART lottery table at the start of BB>
FIG. 83 is an ART lottery table at the start in BB referred to in the transition lottery at the start in BB. The start-up ART lottery table during BB is referred to in the case where the sub-side abbreviation “seven sets of ripples” is determined, and defines the information of the lottery value for the transition lottery result to ART. As shown in FIG. 83, in the case where the sub-side abbreviation “7 sets of ripples” has been determined, ART will always be won in the transition lottery (F) at the start.

  Here, referring to the table of winning combinations shown in FIG. 81, the main JAC2 flag (when JACIN2 is carried over as an internal winning combination) and JAC3 flag (when JACIN3 is carried over as an internal winning combination) is main Only the three “F_ 312 upper row 7 assortment” to “F_2nd cross 7 assortment” are “7 assortment ripples” on the side. On the other hand, between JAC1 flags (when JACIN1 is carried over as an internal winning combination), "F_312 upper row 7 sets" to "F_2nd cross 7 sets" on the main side "F_J1 upper layer 7 lip" to "F_J1 cross 7 A total of six, including the three "rips," is a "seven match". Therefore, in Pachislot 1, the probability of winning ART in the transitional lottery (F) at the start differs depending on the type of the carryover combination carried forward in BB.

<BB mode up lottery table>
FIG. 84 and FIG. 85 are BB mode up lottery tables referenced in the mode up lottery in BB mode. The BB mode up lottery table defines information of lottery values for the current BB mode and the result of lottery of mode up lottery for each internal winning combination.

  Referring to the BB mode up lottery table, when the current BB mode is 0, if any one of push bell, common bell, watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry or chan lip is determined as an internal winning combination, BB The mode will go up. That is, there are six types of winning combinations that can be mode-up from BB mode 0. Similarly, there are five types of winning combinations that can be mode-up from BB mode 1, and there are four types of winning combinations that can be mode-up from BB mode 2. There are three types of winning combinations that can be uploaded, and two types of winning combinations that can be upgraded from BB mode 4.

  In addition, a winning combination that is likely to be mode up from BB mode 4 is included in a winning combination that is likely to be mode up in BB mode 3, and a winning combination that is likely to be mode up from BB mode 3 as well Is included in the possible combination of mode up in BB mode 2 and the possible combination of mode up in BB mode 2 is included in the possible combination of mode up in BB mode 1 A winning combination that is likely to be mode up from BB mode 1 is included in a winning combination that is likely to be mode up in BB mode 0.

  As described above, in Pachi-Slot 1, as the BB mode goes up, the types of winning combinations that may be mode up are set to be smaller, and the winning combinations that can be mode up with the BB mode high are: Even when the BB mode is low, the mode may be up.

  In the BB mode up extraction table illustrated in FIGS. 84 and 85, the mode is enabled by skipping the BB mode instead of step by step (for example, BB mode without going from BB mode 0 to BB mode 1) The mode can be upgraded to 2 or more). In this respect, in the BB mode, it is possible to configure the BB in-mode-up lottery table so that the mode is always up only one step at a time. According to such a configuration, since the BB mode increases only one step at a time, the degree of expectation during staying in each BB mode decreases, so the BB mode can be compared with the case where it is possible to skip the BB mode. Can be set to increase the degree of expectation that As a result, since it becomes easy to go up to a certain BB mode in BB, it becomes easy to make a game form in which the BB mode is gradually mode up.

  Here, referring to the BB middle-mode-up lottery table shown in FIGS. 84 and 85, when the internal winning combination is "CHANRIPE", the BB mode tends to rise. Further, referring to the correspondence table of winning combinations shown in FIG. 81, only five of "F_J3 chance lip 1" to "F_J3 cherry lip" on the main side are "chan lip" between JAC 1 flags and JAC 3 flags. On the other hand, among JAC 2 flags, a total of 10 pieces of the main "F_J3 chance lip 1"-"F_J3 cherry lip" plus five of "F_J2 chance lip 1"-"F_J2 cherry lip" are "Chan lip "It has become. Therefore, in Pachislot 1, the probability of raising the BB mode differs depending on the type of carryover part carried forward during BB, and as a result, the transition at the end of BB is carried out according to the type of carryover part carried forward during BB. In the lottery (F), the probability of winning ART will be different.

<ART lottery table at the end of BB>
FIG. 86 is a BB end ART lottery table referred to in transition lottery (F) at BB end. At the end of BB, the ART lottery table defines information of lottery values for the transition lottery result to ART for each state in BB and each BB mode. Note that the ART lottery table at the end of BB in FIG. 86 (A) is referred to in the main-side gaming state “RB gaming state in bonus state” “RT4 gaming state in bonus state”, and BB in FIG. 86 (B) At the time of termination, the ART lottery table is referred to in the main-side gaming state “RT0 gaming state in bonus state” and “RT2 gaming state in bonus state” (see FIG. 6).

[Game in ART]
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 87 to FIG. 106, the flow of the game in the ART gaming state (also referred to as “in the ART”) will be described. FIG. 87 is a schematic view of the flow of gaming during the hostile ART, FIG. 88 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of gaming during the battle ART, and FIGS. 89 to 106 are referred to during the ART. Data table. The data tables shown in FIGS. 88 to 106 are stored in the sub ROM 82.

<Overview of the flow of games in ART>
As shown in FIG. 87, when winning the transition lottery to ART in the normal gaming state (normal gaming state, high probability gaming state, CZ) or bonus state, the sub control circuit 42 responds to the situation in which the transition lottery is won. Randomize ART state. The ART state is a state in which the degree of expectation for the continuation of the ART gaming state is different, and basically, the larger the numerical value of the ART state, the easier it is for the ART to continue (advantage to the player). When the ART state is determined and the gaming state on the main side shifts to the RT4 gaming state in which the bonus is not won, the hostile ART starts.

  When the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R starts with the start operation during the enemy determination ART, the effect ball set in the apocalypse is lottery. In the enemy determination ART, production balls such as boss balls 1 to 8 for determining an enemy character to fight during battle ART, and an ally ball for increasing the HP of the ally character are set in the apocalypse . The ART state determined before the start of the enemy determination ART is referred to in the lottery of the directing ball, and the boss state in which the ally character is more likely to win is set more in the apocalypse as the ART state is larger.

  The lottery of the effect balls is performed based on boss MAP data and an ART state defined in a boss MAP described later. During the hostile ART, the boss MAP “1” is set first, and then the boss MAP with a larger numerical value is set as the same hostile ART continues.

  It should be noted that if you set the boss ball in the apocalypse immediately after the start of the hostile ART, the hostile ART may end soon after the start. Therefore, at the start of the enemy determination ART, it is possible to set a guaranteed number of times in which the production ball is not set in the apocalypse. In this way, since the enemy determination ART continues for the minimum number of guarantees, it is possible to prevent the hostile ART from ending immediately after the start. The guaranteed number of times may be a predetermined fixed number (for example, 5 games etc.), or may be determined by lottery at the start of the enemy determination ART. In addition, if the number of guarantees is different between the hostile determination ART (so-called first hit) started with winning the transition to ART and the hostile determination ART started with the continuation of the ART gaming state It is also possible to Also in this case, the fixed guarantee number may be made different in both cases, and the lottery probability of the guarantee number may be made different in both cases. Further, when the ART gaming state continues, the guaranteed number of times may be made different depending on the type of enemy character played in the battle ART at the time of continuation. Also in this case, the fixed number of guarantees may be made different depending on the type of enemy character played in the battle ART at the time of continuation, or the lottery probability of the number of times of the guarantees may be made different.

  Subsequently, the HP of the ally character is determined. The HP of the ally character determined here is to be used in the subsequent battle ART. Note that the HP of the ally character is determined based on the initial determination performed in the first game of the enemy determination ART and the later-described additional lottery performed when the ally ball is set in the apocalypse.

  The initial determination is different in control depending on whether or not the HP of the current ally character is less than the initial value (HP50), and the sub control circuit 42 initializes the HP of the ally character if it is less than the initial value. The value is determined, and if it is equal to or more than the initial value, the HP of the current ally character is maintained as it is. In Pachislot 1, when the ally character wins in the battle ART, the enemy determination ART is performed again. At this time, the HP of the ally character is fluctuating according to the result of the continued ART (eg, the HP increase due to the ally ball (overlay lottery) in the contending ART of the continued ART, the battle ART of the continued ART) In the new enemy determination ART after continuation, because the enemy ball (enemy attack) in the middle), the new enemy determination ART will set the HP of the ally character according to the fluctuation from the initial value.

  Subsequently, the sub control circuit 42 performs control in accordance with the effect ball set in the apocalypse in the current game. For example, when the boss ball is set, it is determined whether or not the pushing order bell (which may include the common bell) is determined as the internal winning combination, and the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination If yes, the boss corresponding to the type of boss ball set in the apocalypse in the current game is determined as the opponent in the battle ART.

  When the battle ART opponent is determined in this way, the HP of the enemy character to be the opponent is determined. The determination of the enemy character's HP is performed based on the internal winning combination of the next game for which the opponent has been determined. For example, if the rare combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the enemy character's HP will be reduced. To be determined. When the opponent is determined in the enemy determination ART (boss ball pushing order bell winning) and the enemy character's HP is determined (next game internal winning combination), the enemy determination ART ends, and from the next game Battle ART will be started.

  On the other hand, when the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the ally ball, the sub control circuit 42 performs the HP additional lottery of the ally character. In this additional lottery, the HP of the teammate character is increased (superposed) based on the internal winning combination. Specifically, when an ally ball is set in the apocalypse in the current game, the player wins the extra lottery with “Bell to win” or more, and the HP of the ally character is increased. In addition, "bell tomb" is that pushing order bell or common bell is decided as an internal winning combination, and "bell torn" or more is "bell torn" or net out, watermelon, weak cherries, strong Any of the rares, such as Cherry and Chanlip, will either be determined as internal winnings.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the enemy determination ART is repeated until an opponent is determined. On the other hand, when the opponent is determined in the enemy determination ART and the HP of the enemy character is determined, the enemy determination ART ends, and the battle ART starts from the next game.

  As shown in FIG. 88, when the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R starts with the start operation during the battle ART, the effect ball set in the apocalypse is lottery. In the battle ART, directing balls such as an ally ball, an enemy ball, and an awakening ball for determining a character to attack are set in the apocalypse. As described later, parameters such as an attack power, a defense power, and a speed are set to each enemy character, and the lottery of the effect ball is performed according to the speed of the enemy character. Specifically, the higher the speed of the enemy character, the higher the probability that the enemy ball is extracted, and the lower the speed of the enemy character, the higher the probability that the teammate ball is extracted.

  Subsequently, during the battle ART, a battle between the ally character and the enemy character is performed based on the internal winning combination and the effect balls set in the apocalypse. Specifically, if the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is an ally ball or an awakening ball, the ally character attacks the enemy character with “Bell win” or more, and the HP of the enemy character Decreases. In addition, if the directing ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the awakening ball and it is "Bell tomb" or more, the ally ball is stocked, and the enemy ball set in the apocalypse is the stocked portion It is rewritten to the ally ball.

  On the other hand, if the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the enemy ball, the enemy character attacks the ally character at “Bell Toku”, the HP of the ally character decreases, and “Lea role” The ally character attacks the enemy character in the winning game, and the HP of the enemy character decreases. In addition, "the role of rare" is that any of the roles of rare, such as net-off, watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, and chan lip, is determined as the internal winning combination.

  Here, the decrease amount of HP of the ally character at the time of attacking the enemy character differs according to the attack power set to the enemy character, and the decrease amount of the HP of the ally character is larger as the enemy character has higher attack power. The lower the enemy character, the smaller the reduction amount of HP of the ally character. Similarly, the reduction amount of the enemy character's HP at the time of attacking the ally character differs depending on the defense power set to the enemy character, and the enemy character's defense strength is higher, the reduction amount of the enemy character's HP is smaller and the defense power is lower. The lower the enemy character is, the larger the reduction amount of the enemy character's HP is.

  As shown in FIG. 88, the battle ART ends when the HP of any of the teammate character and the enemy character becomes 0 as a result of the battle. Specifically, when the HP of the teammate character becomes 0, the battle ART is ended, and the ART gaming state for one set is ended. On the other hand, when the HP of the enemy character becomes 0, the battle ART ends while the number of sets in the ART gaming state remains unchanged. Then, if the number of sets of ART gaming state remains at the end of the battle ART, the ART gaming state continues, and the battle ART is shifted to a new enemy determination ART.

<ART state lottery table>
FIG. 89 is an ART state lottery table to be referred to in order to lottery an ART state upon winning a transition lottery to an ART. The ART state lottery table defines the information of the lottery value for the ART state for each situation when winning transition to ART. For example, when winning in the transition lottery to the ART performed during the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, refer to the ART state lottery table in the "normal gaming state, high probability gaming state" column. And the ART state is lottery. Similarly, when a transition to ART in CZ is won in lottery (C), the ART state is extracted with reference to the ART state lottery table according to the CZ mode in CZ. In addition, when a transition to ART during bonus state is won in the lottery (F), the ART state is lottery with reference to the ART state lottery table of the "bonus state column".

  Referring to FIG. 89, when the transition lottery is won in CZ mode 2, the ART state having a larger numerical value is extracted compared to the case where the transition lottery is won in CZ mode 0, 1 or other cases. Become. Here, the CZ mode 2 is the CZ mode in the case of a full run in the CZ, and the ART state is a state in which the ART is more advantageous to the player as the numerical value is larger (the ART is more likely to continue). In the case of a full run, it is understood that not only the ART transition but also a more advantageous state for the player is obtained.

<Various data tables to refer to during the hostile ART>
Subsequently, various data tables referred to during the hostile determination ART will be described with reference to FIGS. 90 to 96.

<Boss MAP lottery table>
FIG. 90 is a boss MAP lottery table for lottery bosses MAP for determining a rendering ball to be set in the apocalypse in the enemy determination ART. During the hostile ART, the boss MAP “1” is first set, and then, when the boss MAP data defined for each boss MAP is 0, a new boss MAP is extracted. The boss MAP lottery table of FIG. 90 is a table referred to in order to lottery a new boss MAP when the boss MAP data is 0.

  Referring to the boss MAP lottery table shown in FIG. 90, it is understood that, in the pachislot machine 1, the boss MAP having a large numerical value is easily extracted each time the boss MAP is extracted. Specifically, the boss MAP “3” is easily extracted from the boss MAP “1”, and similarly, the boss MAP “5” is easily extracted from the boss MAP “3”. On the other hand, when the boss MAP “4” is extracted from the boss MAP “1”, the boss MAP “3” is easily extracted from the boss MAP “4”, so the value of the boss MAP decreases once. However, since the boss MAP “5” is to be extracted from the boss MAP “3” after that, as a result, whenever the boss MAP is extracted, the boss MAP having a large numerical value is extracted.

<Boss MAP data correspondence table>
In the boss MAP, boss MAP data is defined for determining a rendering ball to be set in the apocalypse. FIG. 91 is a diagram showing a correspondence table of boss MAP data defined in each boss MAP. As shown in FIG. 91, boss MAP data “1” is defined in the boss MAP1 for the first to fourth games, and boss MAP data “0” is defined in the fifth game. When boss MAP data "0" is defined, a new boss MAP is extracted with reference to the boss MAP extraction table shown in FIG.

<Enemy determination ART production ball lottery table>
FIG. 92 and FIG. 93 are an enemy determination ART during production ball lottery table for determining an effect ball to be set in the apocalypse in the enemy determination ART. The during-ART effect ball lottery table defines boss MAP data and information of lottery values for effect balls set for each ART state. In (A) of FIG. 92, although information on the lottery value for the effect ball is defined also for the boss MAP data “0”, the bosses newer than the effect ball lottery based on the MAP data “0” If priority is given to MAP lottery, it will not be used.

  Referring to FIGS. 92 and 93, when the boss MAP data is “1” “2” “4”, the effect balls to be lottery are substantially constant regardless of the state of ART, while boss MAP data “3” In the case of “1”, the effect balls randomly selected in accordance with the ART state are largely different. For example, referring to ART state “28” or more in the case of boss MAP data “3”, it can be seen that either boss ball 7 or 8 is determined as the effect ball. The boss balls 7 and 8 are effect balls for which continuation of the battle ART is determined when determined as an opponent (see FIG. 57). Further, referring to the boss MAP data correspondence table shown in FIG. 91, it can be understood that the boss MAP data “3” is defined in many boss MAPs, and in many cases, effects are produced based on the boss MAP data “3”. It can be seen that

  From this, it can be seen that the larger the ART state value, the more advantageous the ART for the player. Also, since "28" or more are drawn out as ART state when CZ is completed (see FIG. 89), CZ is completed. It can be seen that the transitioning ART is easy to continue.

<Enemy decision during ART production ball upgrade lottery table>
FIG. 94 is an enemy determination ART in-progress ball upgrade lottery table to be referred to in order to rewrite an enemy ball set in the apocalypse during the enemy determination ART into an alligator ball. An enemy determination ART during production ball upgrade lottery table defines information of lottery value for stock number of ally balls for each internal winning combination. When stock of one or more ally balls is determined by this lottery, the enemy balls are rewritten as ally balls by an amount corresponding to the stock number. In addition, the timing which rewrites an enemy ball to an ally ball is arbitrary.

<Enemy determination ART middle allies power addition lottery table>
FIG. 95 is an enemy determination ART middle team power top lottery table which is referred to at the time of HP top lottery of an ally character performed when the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is an ally ball. The hostile ART ART ally power addition lottery table defines the HP addition amount of the ally character for each internal winning combination. Referring to FIG. 95, it is understood that the HP of the ally character is increased by “Bell to win” or more when the ally ball is set in the apocalypse in the current game.

<Boss power lottery table during enemy determination ART>
FIG. 96 is a boss power lottery table during enemyization ART, which is referred to when determining the HP of the enemy character in the next game in which the enemy character of the opponent is determined. During the hostile ART, the boss power lottery table defines, for each internal winning combination, information of a lottery value for the enemy character's HP. Referring to FIG. 96, it can be understood that the HP of the enemy character is determined to be low when winning a rare role other than pure loss. Note that the boss power lottery table during the enemy determination ART may be a table common to all enemy characters as opponents, or a different table may be provided for each enemy character. By providing different tables for each enemy character, it is possible to determine the HP according to the personality of the enemy character.

<Various data tables referenced during battle ART>
Subsequently, various data tables referred to during the battle ART will be described with reference to FIGS. 98 to 106. Before describing these data tables, the characteristics of the respective enemy characters will be described.

<Boss Status Correspondence Table>
FIG. 97 is a boss status correspondence table. Statuses such as an attack power, a defense power, and a speed are set to the boss 1 to the boss 8 which are enemy characters of the opponent. For example, the boss 1 is an offensive type and has high attack power but slow speed. On the other hand, the boss 5 is a speed type, and although the attack power is low, the speed is high. During the battle ART, a match between the teammate character and the enemy character is played according to the characteristics of such an enemy character.

  The bosses 7 and 8 are enemy characters whose continuation of the ART gaming state is determined when they are determined as opponents. As described above, in the ART gaming state, the number of sets of ART gaming states remains even if the enemy character's HP becomes 0 before the HP of the ally character becomes 0, or even if the HP of the ally character becomes 0. Continue if. The mode in which the ART gaming state continues when the bosses 7 and 8 are determined is optional. For example, when the bosses 7 and 8 are determined to be enemy characters, the HP of the enemy character always becomes 0 before the ally character. If the bosses 7 and 8 are determined to be enemy characters, the number of sets of ART gaming state must be 1 or more (for example, the bosses 7 and 8 are determined to be enemy characters). In this case, the number of sets of ART gaming states may be incremented by one, or the number of sets of ART gaming states may not be subtracted even if the HP of the ally character becomes zero. In this respect, in the present embodiment, when the bosses 7 and 8 are determined as enemy characters, the ART gaming state is obtained even if the HP of the teammate character becomes 0 by adding 1 to the number of sets of ART gaming states. By making sure that the number of sets is left, the ART gaming state is to be continued when the bosses 7 and 8 are determined. Although detailed description will be omitted, if HP of the bosses 7 and 8 can be set to 0 in the present embodiment, it may be shifted to a so-called special special zone. Although the type of the additional specialization zone is arbitrary, in the case of the present embodiment, it is conceivable to add the number of sets of ART gaming states as an additional specialization zone or to add the HP of the ally character.

<Battle MAP lottery table>
98 to 100 are battle MAP lottery tables for lottery a battle MAP for determining a rendering ball to be set to an apocalypse in the battle ART. The battle MAP lottery table is provided for each type of enemy character to be an opponent, and defines information of lottery value for the battle MAP of the transition destination for each battle map of the transition source. FIG. 98 is a battle MAP lottery table corresponding to the boss 1, FIG. 99 is a battle MAP lottery table corresponding to the boss 2, and FIG. 100 is a battle MAP lottery table corresponding to the boss 5. As described later, the information on the lottery value defined in the battle MAP lottery table depends on the speed set for the enemy character.

<Battle MAP data correspondence table>
In the battle MAP, battle MAP data for determining a rendering ball to be set in the apocalypse is defined. FIG. 101 is a diagram showing a correspondence table of battle MAP data defined in each battle MAP.

<Battle ART production ball lottery table>
FIG. 102 shows a production ART ball lottery table in the battle ART for determining the production balls to be set in the apocalypse in the battle ART. During the battle, the production ball lottery table defines information on lottery values for the production balls set for each battle MAP data. In (A) of FIG. 102, information on the lottery value for the effect ball is defined also for the battle MAP data “0”, but a boss that is newer than the lottery for the effect ball based on the MAP data “0” If priority is given to MAP lottery, it will not be used.

  Referring to FIG. 102, while the battle MAP data “1” has a tendency that lottery of enemy balls is performed, the battle MAP data “2” and “3” necessarily has a teammate ball and an awakening ball. Also, referring to the battle MAP data comparison table shown in FIG. 101, it can be seen that seven battle MAPs are in one set. Specifically, referring to the battle MAPs “1” to “7”, the battle MAP data continues as “2” and “3” after five “1” s continue, and the battle MAPs “8” to “14”, It can be seen that the battle MAPs “15” to “21” and the battle MAPs “22” to “28” are similar.

  The battle MAPs “4”, “11”, “18” and “25” are battle MAPs that are not actually lottery (the lottery value is 0 as shown in FIGS. 98 to 100). Therefore, in Pachislo 1, four battle MAPs (one is not lottery) in which battle MAP data “1” for which enemy balls are easily extracted are specified and battle MAP data “2” in which allied balls or awakening balls are always extracted Six battles with two battle MAPs for which "3" is specified are in one set.

  Here, it returns to the battle MAP lottery table of FIG. 98-FIG. In the battle MAP lottery table, boss MAP “6” “7” “13” “14” “20” “21” “B” where battle map data “2” “3” is defined by which allied balls or awakening balls are always extracted 27 ”and“ 28 ”are highlighted. Referring to the battle map lottery table, the battle MAP basically transfers to a battle map with a large number one by one in one set, or alley balls in one set or awakening balls are always extracted. It turns out that it shifts to battle MAP. Specifically, it is easy for the battle MAP "1" to be easily extracted from the battle MAP "1", or the battle MAP "6" in which allied balls or awakening balls in the same set are always extracted. I understand.

  By configuring the battle MAP and the battle MAP data in this manner, in the pachislot machine 1, the number of times the enemy character attacks continuously is suppressed to a predetermined number of times (four times in the present embodiment). That is, if the battle MAP is transferred more than a predetermined number of times (five times in the present embodiment), the team moves to the battle MAP at least once, in which allied balls or awakening balls are always extracted. In addition, although battle MAP "1" moves to battle MAP "9" etc., since battle MAP "9" etc. is a battle MAP of the second numerical value in the same set, the transition of battle MAP is If the predetermined number of times is exceeded, at least once transition is made to the battle MAP in which allied balls and the like are always extracted.

  In addition, comparing the battle MAP lottery tables in FIG. 98 to FIG. 100, it is understood that the probability of shifting to the battle MAP in which the teammate ball or the awakening ball is surely lottery is different depending on the type of enemy character of the opponent. For example, if the attack type and the slow speed boss 1 (see FIG. 97) is an enemy character, referring to the battle MAP lottery table in FIG. It turns out that it is relatively easy to migrate. Also, when the defensive type boss 2 (see FIG. 97) whose speed is normal is the enemy character, a battle MAP in which allies balls etc. are always extracted as compared to the boss 1 when referring to the battle MAP lottery table of FIG. It turns out that it is difficult to shift to “6” and “7”, and similarly, when the speed type boss 5 (see FIG. 97) is an enemy character, referring to the battle MAP lottery table in FIG. It is difficult to shift to the battle map “6” “7” to be performed, and it is basically understood that the battle MAP “1” is shifted to the battle MAP having a larger numerical value in order.

  Thus, in the battle MAP lottery table, lottery value information is defined based on the speed set for the enemy character. As a result, during the battle ART, the directing ball is set based on the speed set to the enemy character, the enemy with a higher speed is set with more enemy balls, and the enemy with a lower speed is set with more friendly balls. Become.

<Battle ART in progress damage lottery table>
FIG. 103 and FIG. 104 are battle ART during-art damage lottery tables used to reduce the HP of enemy characters and ally characters in battle ART. During the battle ART, the damage lottery table indicates the type of enemy character as an opponent, the type of effect ball set in the apocalypse in the current game, and the HP of the enemy character or ally character for each internal winning combination. Define information on lottery value.

  FIG. 103 is a damage ART during damage ART table used when the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is an enemy ball. In FIG. 103, in order to make a difference due to the status (attack force) of the enemy character comparable, the damage ART lottery table during battle ART used when the boss 1 with high attack power (see FIG. 97) is the enemy character is shown in FIG. FIG. 103 (B) shows a damage ART-in-Battle ART lottery table used when the boss 5 (see FIG. 97) having a low attack power is an enemy character, as shown in FIG. Comparing the damage ART table during the battle ART in FIG. 103, when the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination, “15” is easily determined as the HP decrease amount of the ally character when the opponent is the boss 1 On the other hand, when the opponent is the boss 5, it is understood that "5" is easily determined as the decrease amount of HP of the ally character.

  Also, referring to FIG. 103, even if the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is an enemy ball, if it wins the rare role other than the net loss, it is not the ally character but the enemy character's HP will decrease. By thus configuring the damage lottery table during the battle ART, the player can expect that the role of the lea will be determined as the internal winning combination during the battle ART, and the interest during the ART can be enhanced. .

  Further, FIG. 104 is a damage ART extraction table during battle ART used when the effect ball set in the apocalypse in the present game is an ally ball or an awakening ball. In FIG. 104, in order to make it possible to compare differences due to the status (defensive power) of the enemy characters, the damage ART lottery table during battle ART used when the boss 1 with high defense power (see FIG. 97) is an enemy character In FIG. 104, (B) shows a battle ART during-ART damage lottery table used when the boss 5 (see FIG. 97) having a low defensive power is an enemy character. Comparing the damage ART table during the battle ART in FIG. 104, when the opponent is the boss 1, “5” etc. is easily determined as the decrease amount of the enemy character's HP while the enemy character is the enemy when the opponent is the boss 5. It can be seen that “10” etc. is easily determined as the amount of decrease in

  In this way, by setting the damage extraction table during battle ART according to the type of the enemy character as the opponent, the status (attack power and defense power) of the enemy character can be reflected, and various games during battle ART are diversified. Can be

<ART state lottery table>
FIGS. 105 and 106 are ART state lottery tables for lottery a new ART state when it is determined to continue to ART in battle ART. The ART state lottery table defines the type of enemy character of the opponent, the number of times of continuation of ART, and information of the lottery value for the ART state of the transition destination for each ART state of transition source. FIGS. 105 and 106 show the ART state lottery table to be referred to when the opponent's enemy character is any one of the bosses 1 to 6. When the enemy character of the opponent is any of the bosses 1 to 6, when the ART state of the transfer source is "31" to "33", the same ART state is determined as the ART state of the transfer destination. On the other hand, when the opponent character of the opponent is either of the bosses 7 and 8, when the ART state of the transition source is "31" to "33", although not shown, different ART states (for example, ART state "3" Etc.) will be determined as the ART state of the migration destination.

  Also, referring to FIG. 105 and FIG. 106, it can be understood that transition to an ART state with a large numerical value is facilitated when the number of continuations of ART exceeds five.

<Description of operation of main control circuit>
Next, contents of various processing executed by the main CPU 51 of the main control circuit 41 using a program will be described with reference to FIGS. 107 to 112.

[Main operation processing of pachislot by control of main CPU]
First, the procedure of the main operation processing (processing after power on) of the pachislot 1 performed by the control of the main CPU 51 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 107 (hereinafter referred to as the main flow).

  First, when the pachi slot 1 is powered on, the main CPU 51 performs power on processing (S1). In this process, it is determined whether the backup has been performed normally, whether the setting has been properly changed, and the like, and initialization corresponding to the determination result is performed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs an initialization process at the end of one game (S2). In this initialization process, data in the designated storage area in the main RAM 53 is cleared. The designated storage area referred to here is, for example, a storage area in which it is necessary to erase data for each unit game (game) such as the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs medal acceptance / start check processing (S3). In this process, the input of the medal sensor (not shown) and the start switch 16S is checked.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs random number value acquisition processing (S4). In this process, the main CPU 51 extracts random number values (0 to 65535) for the internal winning combination lottery, and stores the extracted random number values in a random number value storage area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs internal lottery processing (S5). In this process, the internal winning combination is determined by lottery based on the random value for the internal winning combination extracted in S4. The details of the internal lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 108 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel stop initialization processing (S6). In this process, reel stop control information to be used for stop control is determined according to the internal winning combination determined in S5 and the current game state. The determined reel stop control information is stored in the main RAM 53, and is used in the reel stop control processing of S11.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs start command generation and storage processing (S7). In this processing, the main CPU 51 generates data of a start command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 53. Further, the start command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 by the command data transmission process in the interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. The start command data includes various types of information necessary for producing an internal winning combination and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs wait processing (S8). In this process, when the elapsed time from the start of the previous game has not passed a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds), the main CPU 51 stands by until the wait time has elapsed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel rotation start processing (S9). In this process, the main CPU 51 requests the start of rotation of all the reels. Then, when the start of rotation of all the reels is requested, driving of the three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R is performed by an interrupt process (see FIG. 112 described later) which is executed in a fixed cycle (1.1172 msec). Is controlled, and rotation of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R is started. At this time, each reel is controlled to accelerate until its rotational speed reaches a constant speed, and thereafter, it is controlled to maintain the constant speed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel rotation start command generation and storage processing (S10). In this process, the main CPU 51 generates data of a reel rotation start command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 53. The reel rotation start command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 by the command data transmission process in the interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. By this processing, the sub control circuit 42 can recognize the reel rotation start, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs reel stop control processing (S11). In this process, using the reel stop control information determined in S6, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped based on the timing when the left stop button 19L, the middle stop button 19C and the right stop button 19R are pressed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a winning search process (S12). In this process, the main CPU 51 collates the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 9 to 21) with the symbol combination displayed on the pay line after the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are all stopped. . Then, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not a combination of symbols specified by the symbol combination table is displayed on the pay line, and stores the determination result in the display combination storing area.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs medal payout processing (S13). In this process, driving of the hopper 33 and updating of the number of credits are performed based on the number of payouts of the combination of symbols determined in S12, and medals are paid out.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a winning operation command generation and storage process (S14). In this process, the main CPU 51 generates data of a winning operation command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 53. Further, the winning operation command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 by command data transmission processing in the interrupt processing described later with reference to FIG. By this processing, the sub control circuit 42 can recognize the symbol combination displayed along the winning determination line, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs bonus end check processing (S15). In this process, the main CPU 51 refers to various counters (not shown) provided in the main RAM 53 for managing an end trigger of the bonus game, and checks whether or not to end the operation of the bonus game. The details of the bonus end check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 109 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs bonus operation check processing (S16). In this process, the main CPU 51 checks whether or not to start the operation of the bonus game, and whether or not to play again. The details of the bonus operation check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 110 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs RT check processing (S17). In this process, the main CPU 51 updates the RT gaming state based on the combination of the displayed symbols. The RT check process is a process of updating the RT gaming state in the bonus non-operating state, and is omitted in the bonus state or the state between flags. Also, the details of the RT check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 111 described later.

[Internal lottery process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 108, the internal lottery processing performed in S5 in the main flow (see FIG. 107) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets an internal lottery table according to the gaming state (S31). That is, the main CPU 51 grasps the current gaming state with reference to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51), and sets an internal lottery table (see FIGS. 22 to 26) according to the grasped gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 51 obtains random number values stored in the random number value storage area (S32). Then, the main CPU 51 sets “1” as an initial value of the winning number.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a lottery value corresponding to the winning number with reference to the internal lottery table, and subtracts the lottery value from the random value (S33). The winning number is information attached one by one to a winning combination that may be lottery at the internal lottery table. For example, when the gaming state is the RT0 gaming state in which the bonus is not won, the winning number “1” is attached to “off” and the winning number “2” is attached to “F_black and black and black”. (See Figure 22). In addition, when the gaming state is the RT0 gaming state in the bonus state, the winning number "1" is attached to "F_Maintenance Lip", and the winning number "2" is attached to "F_123 Lip". (See Figure 24).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the calculation result in S33 is less than 0 (negative value) (S34).

  In S34, when the main CPU 51 determines that the calculation result is not less than 0 (NO), the main CPU 51 updates the random number value and the winning number (S35). Specifically, the value of the operation result is a random number, and the winning number is incremented by one.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not all the winning numbers have been checked (S36). When it is determined in S36 that the main CPU 51 has not checked all the winning numbers (NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S33, and repeats the processes after S33.

  On the other hand, when determining in S36 that the main CPU 51 has checked all the winning numbers (YES), the main CPU 51 sets "0" as a data pointer (S37). That is, the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer.

  Here, returning to the description of the process of S34 again, when the main CPU 51 determines that the calculation result is less than 0 (negative value) in S34 (YES), the main CPU 51 responds to the current winning number. , The data pointer for small part and replay, and the data pointer for bonus are acquired (S38).

  Then, after the processing of S37 or S38, the main CPU 51 acquires an internal winning combination based on the data pointer for small part and replay (S39).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the internal winning combination storage area (S40).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (S41). In S41, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000” (NO), the main CPU 51 performs the processing of S48 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is "00000000" in S41 (YES), the main CPU 51 acquires an internal winning combination based on the bonus data pointer. (S42).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the carryover combination storage area (S43).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether it is carrying over the role associated with BB (S44). Referring to FIG. 49, the role associated with BB is stored in any of bit 0 to bit 4 of the carryover combination storage area. Therefore, in this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether “1” is stored in any one of bit 0 to bit 4 of the carryover combination storage area. In S44, when the main CPU 51 determines that the role associated with BB is not being carried over (NO), the main CPU 51 shifts the processing to S46.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S44 that the role associated with BB is being carried over (YES), the main CPU 51 sets the RT5 gaming state flag on (S45), and then proceeds to the processing of S46. Specifically, “1” is set to bit 4 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51). By this processing, when the combination related to BB is determined as the internal winning combination during the bonus non-winning state, the gaming state can be shifted to the RT5 gaming state between flags.

  Next, in the process of S46, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the role associated with JACIN is being carried over. Referring to FIG. 49, the role associated with JACIN is stored in any of bit 5 to bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area. Therefore, in this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether “1” is stored in any one of bit 5 to bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area. In S46, when the main CPU 51 determines that the role associated with BB is not being carried over (NO), the main CPU 51 shifts to the processing of S48.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the role associated with JACIN is being carried over in S46 (YES), the main CPU 51 sets the RT4 gaming state flag on (S47), and then proceeds to the processing of S48. Specifically, "1" is set to bit 3 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51). In addition, since the role which concerns on JACIN may be determined as an internal winning combination only in the bonus state, when the role which relates to JACIN is determined as an internal winning combination in the bonus state by this processing, the game The state can be shifted to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus state.

  Next, in the process of S48, the main CPU 51 updates the internal winning combination storing area based on the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the internal lottery process, and shifts the process to S7 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

[Bonus end check processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 109, the bonus end check process performed in S15 in the main flow (see FIG. 107) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether "BB" is in operation with reference to the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 51) (S51). In S51, when the main CPU 51 determines that “BB” is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check process, and shifts the process to S16 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that "BB" is in operation in S51 (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is less than "0" (S52) ). If the value of the bonus end number counter is less than “0”, it means that the payout of medals exceeds 59 during the bonus state.

  In S52, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the bonus end number counter is less than "0" (YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51), and then "RB". Is determined whether it is in operation (S53). When the main CPU 51 determines in S53 that “RB” is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 51 shifts the processing to S56.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that "RB" is in operation in S53 (YES), the main CPU 51 performs an RB end process (S54). In this process, the main CPU 51 clears the possible winning number counter and the possible gaming number counter, and turns off the gaming state flag (RB gaming state flag) corresponding to the "RB" in operation. Next, the main CPU 51 turns on the RT2 gaming state flag (S55).

  Next, at S56, the main CPU 51 performs bonus end processing. In this process, the main CPU 51 clears the bonus end number counter, and turns off the gaming state flag (BB gaming state flag) corresponding to "BB" in operation. As shown in S53 to S56, when the BB operation (bonus state) is ended during the RB gaming state, the game is shifted to the RT2 gaming state in which the bonus is not won after the BB is ended. On the other hand, when the operation of the BB ends in a state other than the RB gaming state, it shifts to the bonus non-winning state while the RT gaming state in the bonus state is maintained.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs bonus end command generation and storage processing (S57). In this process, the main CPU 51 generates data of a bonus end command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 53. In addition, the bonus end command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 by the command data transmission process in the interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. By this processing, the sub control circuit 42 can recognize that the bonus state has ended, and can perform a predetermined effect at the end of the bonus. After the processing of S57, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check processing, and shifts the processing to S16 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S52 that the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than "0" (NO), the main CPU 51 refers to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51). "" Is determined whether it is in operation (S58). When the main CPU 51 determines in S58 that "RB" is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check processing, and shifts the processing to S16 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that "RB" is in operation (YES) in S58, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the possible winning number counter or the possible number of playing time counter is "0". (S59). In addition, when the winning possible number counter is "0", it means that the combination of symbols other than "out" is displayed eight times during the RB gaming state of the bonus state, and the possible gaming number counter is "0". If it is, it means that 12 games have been played in the RB gaming state in the bonus state.

  In S59, when the main CPU 51 determines that neither the winning possible number counter nor the gaming possible number counter is “0” (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check processing, and the main flow (FIG. Move to S16 of step 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S59 that either the winning possible number counter or the gaming possible number counter is “0” (YES), the main CPU 51 performs an RB end process (S60). Next, the main CPU 51 turns on the RT2 gaming state flag (S61), ends the bonus end check processing, and shifts the processing to S16 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

[Bonus operation check process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 110, the bonus end check process performed in S16 in the main flow (see FIG. 107) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not a combination of symbols related to "BB" (see FIG. 27) is displayed (S71). When the main CPU 51 determines that the combination of symbols relating to “BB” is displayed in S71 (YES), the main CPU 51 performs bonus operation processing (S72). In this process, the main CPU 51 sets the BB gaming state flag of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51) to ON, and sets the bonus end number counter to “59”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the RT5 gaming state flag in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51) to off (S73). Next, the main CPU 51 performs bonus start command generation and storage processing (S74). In this process, the main CPU 51 generates data of a bonus start command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 53. Further, the bonus start command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 41 to the sub control circuit 42 by the command data transmission process in the interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. By this processing, the sub control circuit 42 can recognize that the bonus state has started and can perform a predetermined effect at the start of the bonus.

  After the process of S74, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and shifts the process to S17 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the symbol combination related to "BB" is not displayed in S71 (NO), the main CPU 51 displays the symbol combination related to "JACIN" (see FIG. 27). It is determined whether or not it is (S75). When the main CPU 51 determines in S75 that the combination of symbols relating to "JACIN" has been displayed (YES), the main CPU 51 performs RB operation processing (S76). In this process, the main CPU 51 sets the RB gaming state flag in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51) to ON, and sets "8" in the possible number-of-times counter and "12" in the possible number-of-times counter. .

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the RT4 gaming state flag in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 51) to off (S77). When the process of S77 ends, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and shifts the process to S17 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S75 that the combination of symbols relating to "JACIN" is not displayed (NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the combination of symbols relating to "replay" is displayed. (S78). When the main CPU 51 determines that the combination of symbols relating to "Replay" is not displayed in S78 (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and the process is a main flow (see FIG. 107). Move to S17.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the combination of symbols relating to "replay" is displayed in S78 (YES), the main CPU 51 requests automatic medal insertion (S79). That is, the main CPU 51 copies the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion number counter. Then, after the processing of S79, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check processing, and shifts the processing to S17 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

[RT check processing]
Next, the RT check process performed in S17 in the main flow (see FIG. 107) will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether the gaming state is any of the RT0 gaming state where the bonus is not won, the RT2 gaming state where the bonus is not won, or the RT4 gaming state where the bonus is not won (S81) . In S81, when the main CPU 51 determines that neither the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, nor the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is any (NO), the main The CPU 51 proceeds to the process of S85 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the gaming state is either the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, or the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state in S81 (YES Then, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not “Bell Eye” or “RT1 Transition Lip” is displayed (S82). When the main CPU 51 determines in S82 that neither the “bell spilled eye” nor the “RT1 transition ripple” is displayed (NO), the main CPU 51 shifts to the processing of S85 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S 82 that either “Bell Eyes” or “RT1 Transition Lip” is displayed (YES), the main CPU 51 turns off the RT gaming state flag that is currently on, and RT1. Turn on the gaming state. That is, in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the RT2 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, or the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the main CPU 51 is displayed when the "bell spilled eyes" or the "RT1 transition lip" is displayed. Causes the gaming state to transition to the bonus non-winning state RT1 gaming state. Next, the main CPU 51 sets 5 in the RT game number counter (S84).

  If NO in S81, S82, or following S84, the main CPU 51 determines whether the gaming state is the RT0 gaming state in which the bonus is not won (S85). In S85, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state (NO), the main CPU 51 shifts to the processing of S91 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S85 that the RT0 gaming state is the bonus non-winning state (YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether “RT4 transition reply” is displayed (S86). In S86, when the main CPU 51 determines that the “RT4 transition ripple” is displayed (YES), the main CPU 51 turns on the RT4 gaming state flag. That is, when "RT4 transition ripple" is displayed in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the main CPU 51 shifts the gaming state to the RT4 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the “RT4 transition rep” is not displayed in S88 (NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether the “RT3 transition rep” is displayed (S88). In S88, when the main CPU 51 determines that “RT3 transition ripple” is displayed (YES), the main CPU 51 turns on the RT3 gaming state flag. That is, when “RT3 transition ripple” is displayed in the RT0 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state, the main CPU 51 shifts the gaming state to the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state. Next, the main CPU 51 sets 5 in the RT game number counter (S90).

  If NO at S85 and S88, or following S87 and S90, the main CPU 51 determines whether the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state where the bonus is not won or the RT3 gaming state where the bonus is not won (S91) ). In S91, when the main CPU 51 determines that neither the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state nor the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is any (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the RT check processing, and the main processing is performed. Move to S2 of the flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the RT1 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state or the RT3 gaming state in the bonus non-winning state is either S91 (YES), the main CPU 51 updates the RT game number counter (YES) 1) is performed (S92). Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether the RT game number counter is 0 (S93). When the main CPU 51 determines in S93 that the RT game number counter is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 51 ends the RT check process, and shifts the process to S2 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the RT game number counter is 0 in S93 (YES), the main CPU 51 turns off the RT gaming state flag that is currently on (S94). By turning off the RT gaming state flag that is currently on by this processing, the gaming state shifts to the RT0 gaming state in which the bonus is not won. When this process ends, the main CPU 51 ends the RT check process, and shifts the process to S2 of the main flow (see FIG. 107).

When the number of sliding symbols is determined, the main CPU 51 updates the symbol counter of the corresponding reel by the number of sliding symbols. Then, the main CPU 51 waits for the updated symbol counter to match the value corresponding to the planned stop position (the symbol at the planned stop position reaches the area on the pay line of the display window), and for the corresponding reel. The drive control of the corresponding stepping motor is performed so that the rotation is decelerated and stopped.

Here, if it is determined that the start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a start command reception process shown in FIG. 122 (S402), and ends the effect content determination process. In the start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the start command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the reel rotation start command has been received (S403). Here, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a reel rotation start command reception process (S404), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel rotation start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the reel stop command has been received (S405). Here, if it is determined that the reel stop command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a reel stop command reception process (S406), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel stop command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the reel stop command is set.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the winning operation command has been received (S407). Here, if it is determined that a winning operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a winning operation command reception process shown in FIG. 132 (S408), and ends the effect content determination process. In the prize activation command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on information transmitted as a prize actuation command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the bonus end command has been received (S409). Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a bonus end command reception process shown in FIG. 137 (S410), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus end command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus end command is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the bonus start command has been received (S411). Here, if it is determined that the bonus start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 81 executes a bonus start command reception process (S412), and ends the effect content determination process. In the bonus start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command. In addition, in the bonus start command reception process, BB mode “0” is set as an initial value of the BB mode.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 81 executes processing according to the other received commands (S413), and ends the effect content determination processing.

<Process when receiving start command>
FIG. 122 is a flowchart showing a start command reception process executed in S402 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state is either the normal gaming state or the high probability gaming state (S421). If it is determined in S421 that the gaming state is either the normal gaming state or the high probability gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs the normal start time CZ · ART lottery shown in FIG. 123 (S422). In this normal start CZ · ART lottery, based on the internal winning combination and the effect balls set in the apocalypse in the current game, the above-mentioned transition lottery (A) (D) at the start is performed.

  Following the process of S422, the sub CPU 81 performs an apocalypse activation process shown in FIG. 124 (S423). In this apocalypse activation process, the sub CPU 81 performs control to start or end the apocalypse activation.

  If it is determined that the gaming state is neither the normal gaming state nor the high probability gaming state in S421 (NO) following the processing of S423, then the sub CPU 81 continues the RT4 gaming state of the normal gaming state. It is determined whether there is any (S424). More specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state managed by the sub side is the normal gaming state and the RT gaming state managed by the main side is the RT4 gaming state. If it is determined in S424 that the gaming state is the RT4 gaming state in the normal gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs high probability gaming state transition processing shown in FIG. 125 (S425). In this probability game state transition process, the sub CPU 81 performs lottery of avoidance points in order to shift the game state from the normal game state to the high probability game state.

  Subsequent to the processing of S425, or when it is determined that the gaming state is not the normal gaming state RT4 gaming state in S424 (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is the high probability gaming state (S426). If it is determined in S426 that the gaming state is the high probability gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs a high probability in-progress effect registration process shown in FIG. 126 (S427). In this high-probability effect registration process, the sub CPU 81 performs effects (pushing order navigation) to avoid the main gaming state from shifting from the RT4 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state based on the avoidance points. .

  If it is determined that the gaming state is not the high probability gaming state (NO) subsequent to the process of S427 or S426, the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is CZ (S428). If it is determined in S428 that the gaming state is CZ (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs ART lottery processing at the CZ start shown in FIG. 127 (S429). In this CZ start time ART lottery processing, the sub CPU 81 performs the above-described transition lottery (C) and the like.

  Subsequent to the process of S429, or when it is determined that the gaming state is not CZ (NO) in S428, the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is the bonus state (BB) (S430) ). If it is determined in S430 that the gaming state is the bonus state (YES), the sub CPU 81 then performs ART lottery processing during BB shown in FIG. 128 (S431). In the ART lottery processing during BB, the sub CPU 81 performs the above-described migration lottery (F) and the like.

  Subsequent to the processing of S431, or when it is determined that the gaming state is not the bonus state (NO) in S430, the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is the ART gaming state (during ART) (S432). If it is determined in S432 that the gaming state is the ART gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs an ART in-progress process shown in FIG. 129 (S433), and ends the start command reception process. Note that in this ART-in-progress process, the sub CPU 81 determines an enemy determination ART, an effect content in the battle ART, and the like. On the other hand, if it is determined in S432 that the gaming state is not the ART gaming state (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the start command reception process.

<Normal start CZ · ART lottery processing>
FIG. 123 is a flow chart showing a normal start CZ · ART lottery process executed in S422 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 refers to the start ART lottery table shown in FIG. 59 to FIG. 61 based on the internal winning combination and the effect ball set in the apocalypse in the present game, and shifts to CZ · ART. (A) and (D) are performed (S441). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not CZ has been won in this lottery (S442). If CZ has been won (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets CZ to the gaming state of the next game (S443), and ends the CZ · ART lottery process at the normal start.

  On the other hand, if CZ has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not ART has been won in the lottery of S441 (S444). When not winning the ART (NO), the normal start CZ · ART lottery processing is finished, while when winning the ART (YES), the sub CPU81 is a gaming state as ART gaming state Set the hostile ART of (S445). Since the ART gaming state is the RT4 gaming state on the main side, an RT4 transition message is displayed, and the main side must shift to the RT4 gaming state. Therefore, "set the hostile determination ART of ART gaming state as gaming state" does not mean that the gaming state of the next game becomes hostile ART of ART gaming state, but the RT4 gaming state on the main side When it shifts to, it means that the game state of the sub side becomes the enemy determination ART of ART game state. The same applies to the following.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table shown in FIG. 89, and lottery the ART state based on the gaming state at the ART winning time, and sets the lottery result (S446). When this process is completed, the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ · ART lottery process at the normal start.

<Apocalypse activation processing>
FIG. 124 is a flow chart showing the apocalypse activation process executed in S423 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the apocalypse flag is on (S451). At this time, if it is determined that the apocalypse flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to S457.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S451 that the apocalypse flag is on (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs apocalypse lottery based on the current winning mode (S452). Specifically, with reference to the apocalypse operation lottery table of FIG. 67 (C), the addition amount or the subtraction amount of the number of times of guarantee is extracted based on the internal winning combination. Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 updates the current number of guarantees based on the lottery result of S452 (S453).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the number of guarantees is one or more (S454). If it is determined that the number of legal phases is one or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect ball, and sets it in the apocalypse (S455), and proceeds to the processing of S462. Specifically, the sub CPU 81 lottery the apocalypse MAP, and lottery the effect balls based on the MAP data defined in the apocalypse MAP (see FIGS. 68 to 71). In addition, in this process, the sub CPU 81 upgrades the effect ball set in the apocalypse with a predetermined probability when the rare combination is determined as the internal winning combination.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of guarantees is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 updates the apocalypse flag to off, terminates the operation of the apocalypse (S456), and then proceeds to the process of S462.

  If it is determined in S451 that the apocalypse flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs apocalypse lottery based on the current winning mode (S457). Specifically, with reference to the apocalypse operation lottery table of FIGS. 67 (A) and 67 (B), the addition amount of the guarantee number is lottery based on the internal winning combination. Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 updates the current number of guarantees based on the lottery result of S457 (S458).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the number of guarantees is one or more (S459). If it is determined that the number of legal phases is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 turns on the apocalypse flag and starts operation of the apocalypse (S460). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect balls and set them in the apocalypse (S461). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 lottery the apocalypse MAP, and lottery the effect balls based on the MAP data defined in the apocalypse MAP (see FIGS. 68 to 71).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 performs shift lottery of the winning mode based on the internal winning combination (S462). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the mode transition lottery table shown in FIGS. 62 to 66, and lottery the winning mode of the transition destination. Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 sets the lottery result as the winning mode of the next game (S463), and ends the apocalypse activation process.

<High probability game state transition process>
FIG. 125 is a flow chart showing the high-probability game state transition processing executed in S425 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 randomly selects an avoidance point based on the internal winning combination (S465). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the avoidance table lottery table shown in FIG. 74 and extracts the addition amount of the avoidance point. Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lottery of the avoidance point is won, that is, whether or not the avoidance point is to be added by one or more (S466). When winning (YES), the sub CPU81 sets the avoidance point based on the lottery result (S467), and ends the high probability gaming state transition processing. On the other hand, if the win is not made (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the high probability gaming state transition process.

<High probability in-progress effect registration processing>
FIG. 126 is a flow chart showing the high probability effect effect registration process executed in S427 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the pushing order bell or pushing order lip is determined as the internal winning combination (S471). If it is determined that neither the push order bell nor the push order lip is determined as the internal winning combination (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the high probability in-progress effect registration process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the pushing order bell or pushing order lip is determined as the internal winning combination (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the avoidance point is 1 or more (S472). If it is determined that the avoidance point is not one or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the high probability in-progress effect registration process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the avoidance point is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets navigation data that is correct in the pushing order (S473). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 subtracts one (1) from the avoidance points (S474), and ends the high probability in-progress effect registration process.

  As described above, in the high probability gaming state, when the pushing order bell or pushing order lip is determined as the internal winning combination, the pushing order of the correct answer is informed based on the avoidance point. From the player's point of view, it is possible to continue the high probability gaming state by playing the game according to the notification, so it is possible to play the game with ease. Here, in the high probability gaming state, it is easier to win the transition lottery to the ART than in the normal gaming state, and in the case of notifying the pressing order of the correct answer in the high probability gaming state, the high probability gaming state is The benefit of continuing will already be granted. Therefore, when the pressing order of the correct answer is notified in the high probability gaming state, the lottery result of the transition lottery in the game may be discarded (invalidated). This can prevent the player's profit from becoming excessive.

<ART lottery processing at CZ start>
FIG. 127 is a flowchart of CZ start ART lottery processing that is executed in S429 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 updates the number of continued games in CZ (S481). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether it is the first game of CZ (S 482). If it is determined that the game is the first game of CZ (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently lottery and set CZ_MAP. Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the CZ_MAP lottery table shown in FIG. 76, and extracts and sets CZ_MAP used in CZ (S483).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines and sets an initial value of the invalid point (S484). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the invalidation point lottery table shown in FIG. 78 (A) to determine and set an initial value of the invalidation point.

  If it is determined that the game is not the first game of CZ after S 484 or S 482 (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently lottery the effect balls and set them in the apocalypse (S 485). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the CZ in-stage production ball lottery table shown in FIG. 79, and lottery and set the production balls based on the final production ball currently set. Further, in this process, the sub CPU 81 rewrites the development ball set in the apocalypse into an avoidance ball when the invalidation point is one or more.

  It is determined whether it is the 30th game of CZ (S486). If it is determined that the game is the 30th game of CZ (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently sets the enemy determination ART of the ART gaming state as the gaming state (S487). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table shown in FIG. 89, and extracts and sets the ART state based on the CZ mode 2 (S488). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process at the CZ start.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is not the 30th game of CZ (NO), the sub CPU 81 randomly selects invalid points based on the internal winning combination and adds them (S489). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 refers to the invalidation point lottery table shown in FIG. 78 (B) (C), extracts the invalidation point addition amount, and adds it to the currently held invalidation point.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is a development ball, and the pushing order bell is determined as an internal winning combination (S490). If any of the conditions is satisfied (YES), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the invalidation point is 1 or more (S491). If it is determined that the invalid point is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently subtracts 1 from the invalid point (S492), and sets effect data for the present CZ mode notification (S493).

  This effect data notifies or suggests that, for example, the current CZ mode is 1 or that the CZ mode goes up from 0 to 1 in a few more (for example, two or three) games It is effect data for. Specifically, effect data having different probability of being set depending on whether CZ mode is 1 or 0, or CZ mode rising from 0 to 1 in a game within a predetermined number of times, and CZ mode within a predetermined number of times The probability of being set is different from the case where the game does not go from 0 to 1 in the game of. Thereby, the player can estimate or grasp the current CZ mode when the invalidation point is 1 or more.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S491 that the invalid point is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART lottery table in CZ shown in FIG. 80 and shifts transition to ART based on the current CZ mode (C ) And set the lottery flag on (S494). As described above, during CZ, the development ball is set, and transition lottery (C) is performed when the push order bell is won, but the lottery result of the transition lottery (C) is invalidated when correct in push order when stopping. Be done. The lottery flag is used to determine whether to invalidate or maintain the lottery result at the time of stop. After the process of S494, the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process at the CZ start.

  On the other hand, if any of the conditions is not satisfied in S 490 (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether or not the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the avoidance ball ( S495). If it is determined that the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the avoidance ball (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets the effect data for the current CZ mode notification (S 496), and ART lottery processing at CZ start Finish. Further, even when it is determined in S495 that the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is not the avoidance ball (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process at CZ start.

<ART lottery processing during BB>
FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing ART-in-BB lottery processing that is executed in S431 of the processing at the time of start command reception shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not seven sets of reps have been determined as internal winning combinations (S501). If it is determined that 7 sets of RIPs have been determined as internal winning combinations (YES), sub CPU 81 performs transition lottery (F) to ART in BB with reference to ART lottery table at start in BB shown in FIG. 83. . Referring to FIG. 83, the sub CPU 81 sets the ART winning flag on (S502) in order to surely win the transition lottery (F). The ART winning flag is information indicating that the ART is won in the middle of the bonus state, and is referred to at the end of the bonus.

  Subsequent to S502, or if it is determined in S501 that the seven-arranged lip is not determined as the internal winning combination (NO), sub CPU 81 subsequently refers to the BB mode up lottery table shown in FIGS. 84 and 85. And perform mode-up lottery based on the internal winning combination (S503). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 sets the BB mode based on the lottery result (S504), and ends the ART lottery process during BB.

<Processing during ART>
FIG. 129 is a flowchart showing ART processing in ART executed in S433 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state is in the enemy determination ART (S511). If it is determined that the enemy determination ART is not being performed (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs a battle ART during process shown in FIG. 131 (S517), and ends the ART during process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the enemy determination ART is in progress (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the determined flag is on (S512). The determined flag is information for determining whether or not the enemy character of the opponent is determined during the enemy determination ART. If it is determined that the determined flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs an enemy determination during ART processing shown in FIG. 130 (S516), and ends the during ART processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the determined flag is on (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently refers to the boss power lottery table in the enemy determination ART shown in FIG. 96 and determines the HP of the enemy character based on the internal winning combination. (S513). Subsequently, effect data for introducing an enemy character is set (S514). The effect data for introducing an enemy character is, for example, effect data for displaying a boss status shown in FIG. Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 turns off the determined flag, sets the battle ART to the next game play state (S515), and ends the in-ART process.

<Processing during enemy determination ART>
FIG. 130 is a flow chart showing a hostile processing during ART processing that is executed in S516 of the processing during ART shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect balls and set them in the apocalypse (S521). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect balls based on the boss MAP data and the ART state defined in the boss MAP (see FIGS. 90 to 93). Further, in this processing, the sub CPU 81 also performs stock lottery of the ally balls, and when there is stock, rewrites the boss balls set in the apocalypse as ally balls (see FIG. 94). When using the guaranteed number of times to guarantee the number of continued games in the hostile determination ART as described above, the processing of S521 may not be performed during the game for the number of guaranteed times.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 performs HP initial setting processing of the teammate character (S522). In this processing, when the HP of the teammate character is less than the initial value (HP 50), the sub CPU 81 sets the HP of the teammate character to the initial value.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is a boss ball (S523). If it is determined that the boss ball is set (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether or not the bell is hit (S524). At this time, if it is determined that the bell is not won (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the processing during the enemy determination ART. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bell is won (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines an enemy character according to the boss ball as the opponent (S525). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 sets the determined flag on (S526), and ends the process of the enemy determination ART.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S523 that the boss ball is not set (that is, the ally ball is set) (NO), the sub CPU 81 refers to the enemy determination ART content ally power addition lottery table shown in FIG. Based on the winning combination, HP additional lottery of the ally character is performed (S527). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 updates the HP of the teammate character based on the lottery result (S 528), and ends the process of the enemy determination ART.

<Process during Battle ART>
FIG. 131 is a flowchart of a battle ART process performed in S517 of the ART process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect balls and set them in the apocalypse (S531). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 lottery the effect balls based on the battle MAP data defined in the battle MAP (see FIGS. 98 to 102). Further, in this processing, the sub CPU 81 rewrites the enemy ball based on the awakening ball, and the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the awakening ball and is equal to or more than the bell winning number. , Rewrite the enemy ball that is set in the apocalypse to the friendly ball.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 performs damage lottery based on the effect ball and the internal winning combination (S532). Specifically, when the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is the enemy ball, the sub CPU 81 performs the damage lottery with reference to the damage ART lottery during battle ART illustrated in FIG. If the effect ball set in the apocalypse in this game is an ally ball or an awakening ball, the damage lottery is performed with reference to the damage ARTART during damage ART illustrated in FIG.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 updates the HP of the enemy character or the ally character based on the lottery result (S533). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the HP of the teammate character is 0 or less (S534). If it is determined that the HP of the ally character is 0 or less (YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART gaming state, sets the normal gaming state to the next gaming state (S535), and ends the battle ART in-progress processing.

  On the other hand, when determining that the HP of the teammate character is not 0 or less (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the HP of the enemy character is 0 or less (S536). If it is determined that the enemy character's HP is not 0 or less (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the battle ART in-progress process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the enemy character's HP is 0 or less (YES), the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table illustrated in FIGS. 105 and 106 and determines the ART state based on the enemy character type and the number of continuations. The lottery is performed and set (S537). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 sets the enemy determination ART to the gaming state of the next game (S538), and ends the battle ART in progress processing.

<Process when receiving prize operation command>
FIG. 132 is a flow chart showing a winning operation command reception process carried out in S408 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the gaming state is either the normal gaming state or the high probability gaming state (S541). If it is determined that the gaming state is either the normal gaming state or the high probability gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs a normal termination time CZ · ART lottery shown in FIG. 133 (S 542). In this normal end time CZ · ART lottery, the above-mentioned transition lottery (A) (D) at the start is performed based on the effect ball set in the apocalypse in the current game.

  If it is determined that the gaming state is neither the normal gaming state nor the high probability gaming state in S 541 (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently proceeds to the RT4 gaming state in the normal gaming state. It is determined whether there is any (S543). If it is determined that the gaming state is the RT4 gaming state which is the normal gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs the high probability shift determination processing shown in FIG. 134 (S544). In this high probability transition determination processing, it is determined whether or not transition from the RT4 gaming state in the normal gaming state to the high probability gaming state is possible.

  Subsequent to the process of S544, or when it is determined that the gaming state is not the RT4 gaming state of the normal gaming state in S543 (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is the high probability gaming state (S545). If it is determined that the gaming state is the high probability gaming state (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs high probability end determination processing shown in FIG. 135 (S546). In this high probability end determination processing, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not to end the high probability gaming state, based on the combination of the displayed symbols.

  If it is determined that the gaming state is not the high probability gaming state (NO) subsequent to the processing of S546 or S545, the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the gaming state is CZ (S547). If it is determined that the gaming state is CZ (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently performs a CZ lottery result management process shown in FIG. 136 (S548). In the CZ internal lottery result management process, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the above-described transition lottery (C) performed midway through CZ is to be maintained or invalidated.

  When the processing of S548 is completed, or if it is determined that the S547 gaming state is not CZ (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the processing at the time of prize operation command reception.

<Normal termination CZ · ART lottery processing>
FIG. 133 is a flow chart showing a normal termination time CZ · ART lottery process executed in S542 of the winning operation command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the apocalypse flag is on (S551). If it is determined that the apocalypse flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ · ART lottery processing at the normal end.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the apocalypse flag is on (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether it is bell winning or more (S552). If it is determined that it is not bell prize winning or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ · ART lottery process at the normal end time.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bell is won or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently refers to the ART lottery table at the reel stop shown in FIG. 72, and based on the effect balls set in the apocalypse in this game. Then, the migration lottery to CZ and ART is performed (A) and (D) (S553).

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not CZ has been won in this lottery (S 554). If CZ has been won (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets CZ to the gaming state of the next game (S555), and ends the CZ · ART lottery process at the normal end.

  On the other hand, if CZ has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not ART has been won (S556). When not winning the ART (NO), the normal termination CZ · ART lottery processing is finished, while when winning the ART (YES), the sub CPU81, as a gaming state, the ART gaming state as a gaming state Set the enemy determination ART of (S 557). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table shown in FIG. 89, and lottery the ART state based on the gaming state at ART winning time, and sets the lottery result (S558). When this process ends, the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ · ART lottery process at the normal end time.

<High probability transition judgment processing>
FIG. 134 is a flow chart showing the high-probability shift judgment processing executed in S544 of the winning operation command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a bell spill or an RT1 transition ripple is displayed (S561). If it is determined that a bell spill or RT1 transition ripple is displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently clears the number of replays and the avoidance point (S562), and ends the high probability transition determination processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that neither the bell spill nor the RT1 transition lip is displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether the avoidance point is 1 or more (S563). If it is determined that the avoidance point is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets the high probability gaming state to the gaming state of the next game (S 564). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 clears the number of replays (S565), and ends the high probability shift determination process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the avoidance point is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a combination of symbols related to replay other than the RT1 transition ripple is displayed (S566). If it is determined that a combination of symbols related to replays other than the RT1 transition ripple is not displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the high probability transition determination processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that a combination of symbols related to replays other than the RT1 transition ripple is displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 adds 1 to the number of replays (S567), and ends the high probability transition determination processing.

  Thus, in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, when the main side shifts to the RT4 gaming state on the main side during the normal gaming state, the normal gaming state is maintained until the avoidance points are awarded, and the avoidance points are awarded. Transition to high probability gaming state. In a gaming machine in which, as in the case of the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, a situation in which the game mode is accidentally shifted to the RT4 gaming state is not a penalty section but a chance section, it is necessary to adjust the balance so as not to be advantageous to the player too much. In this regard, even if the main side shifts to the RT4 gaming state, by treating it as the normal gaming state until the avoidance point is awarded, it is possible to adjust the balance of the profits of both the player and the game arcade. Of course, since it is sufficient to adjust the balance between the two benefits within the entire gaming machine, it is possible to immediately shift from the normal gaming state to the high probability gaming state when the main side transitions to the RT4 gaming state.

<High probability end judgment processing>
FIG. 135 is a flow chart showing the high probability end determination process executed in S546 of the winning process command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a bell spill or an RT1 transition ripple is displayed (S571). If it is determined that neither the bell spill nor the RT1 transition ripple is displayed (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the high probability end determination processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a bell spill or RT1 transition ripple is displayed (YES), the sub CPU 81 subsequently clears the avoidance point (S572). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 sets the normal gaming state to the gaming state of the next game (S573), and ends the high probability end determination processing.

<CZ internal lottery result management process>
FIG. 136 is a flow chart showing a lottery result management process during CZ executed in S548 of the command reception process at the time of winning operation shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether the extraction completed flag is on (S581). If it is determined that the lottery completed flag is not on (NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ during lottery result management process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the lottery completed flag is on (YES), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the pressing order is correct (S582). Specifically, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the stop operation is performed in the pushing order according to the pushing order bell winning in S 490 of FIG. 127, in other words, according to “C_CD bell (see FIG. 19)”. It is determined whether or not a combination of symbols has been displayed. If it is determined that the correct order of pushing according to the pushing order bell has been made (YES), the sub CPU 81 discards (invalidates) the lottery result (S583), and ends the CZ internal lottery result management process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the correct order of pushing according to the pushing order bell is not made (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently judges whether or not ART has been won (S584). If it is determined that the ART is not won (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently sets the normal gaming state to the gaming state of the next game (S587), and ends the CZ internal lottery result management process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the player wins ART (YES), the sub CPU 81 sets the enemy determination ART of ART gaming state as the gaming state (S585). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table shown in FIG. 89, and lottery the ART state based on the gaming state at the ART winning time, and sets the lottery result (S586). When this process ends, the sub CPU 81 ends the CZ middle lottery result management process.

<Process when bonus end command is received>
FIG. 137 is a flowchart showing a bonus end command reception process executed in S410 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 performs transition lottery (F) to ART based on the current BB mode with reference to the ART extraction table at the end of BB shown in FIG. 86 (S591). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not ART has been won (S592). If it is determined that the ART is not won (NO), the sub CPU 81 subsequently determines whether the ART winning flag is on (S593). If both S592 and S593 are NO, the sub CPU 81 sets the normal gaming state to the next gaming state (S596), and ends the bonus end command reception process.

  On the other hand, if any one of S592 and S593 is YES, the sub CPU 81 sets the enemy determination ART of ART gaming state as the gaming state (S594). Subsequently, the sub CPU 81 refers to the ART state lottery table shown in FIG. 89, and lottery the ART state based on the gaming state at the ART winning time, and sets the lottery result (S595). When this process ends, the sub CPU 81 ends the bonus end command reception process.

[Effect of Pachislot 1]
The pachislot 1 according to the present invention has been described above. According to such a pachi slot 1, the following effects can be expected.

<Effect by JACIN carrying over while in bonus state>
In pachislot 1, while in bonus state, while any of the combinations (“F_JACIN1”, “F_JACIN2” and “F_JACIN3”) pertaining to JACIN is determined as an internal winning combination, until the corresponding symbol combination is displayed (while carrying over) ), Become a bonus state RT4 gaming state. In the RT4 gaming state in this bonus state, JAC1 replays such as "F_J1 upper row 7 reps" to "F_J1 cross 7 reps", JAC2 replays such as "F_J2 chance lip 1" to "F_J2 cherry lip" and "F_FJ3 It is possible to determine JAC3 replays such as chance lip 1 ”to“ F_J3 cherry lip ”as internal winning combinations (see FIGS. 24 and 25).

  The pachi slot 1 performs stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the gaming state and the internal winning combination. For example, if “JAC1 replay” is determined to be an internal winning combination with “F_JACIN1” carried over as an internal winning combination, in the game, two types of roles of “F_JACIN1” and JAC1 replay are internal It will be decided as winning combination, and similarly, if "F_JACIN2" is carried over as internal winning combination and JAC1's replay is determined as internal winning combination, "F_JACIN2" in the game concerned Two types of roles with the JAC1 Replay are decided as internal winning combinations.

  Therefore, in Pachislot 1, the stop control can be made different depending on the type of role related to the JACIN carried over, and in the case where the replay of JAC 1 system to the replay of JAC 3 system is determined as the internal winning combination, The stop control is performed so that the combination of symbols having the correspondence shown in 46 is displayed. By making the benefit (ART) to be provided to the player different by using such control, in Pachislot 1, it is possible to vary whether or not to provide the benefit depending on the type of the carryover combination. The game in the state can be diversified, and the interest of the game in the bonus state can be enhanced.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 46, when the JAC1 system replay is determined as the internal winning combination with “F_JACIN1” carried over as the internal winning combination, “7-set rep” is displayed and “F_JACIN2” is displayed. When a JAC1 replay is determined as an internal winning combination while being carried over as an internal winning combination, "normally rep" is displayed. As described above, by making the stop control different depending on the situation where the benefit is given and the situation where the benefit is not given, it is possible to grasp whether or not the benefit is given from the combination of the displayed symbols. The person has a strong interest in the combination of the displayed symbols, and can enhance the interest of the game in the bonus state.

  Incidentally, referring to FIG. 46, in Pachislot 1, stop control capable of displaying “7 sets of reps” is performed only in the case of JAC 1 system replay, and in the case of JAC 2 system replay and JAC 3 system replay. It is decided to perform stop control that can not display “7 sets of reps”. In this regard, even in the case of the JAC 2 system replay or the JAC 3 system replay, stop control may be performed so as to allow display of “7 sets of reps”. Specifically, when “JAC2 Replay” is determined as an internal winning combination with “F_JACIN2” carried over as an internal winning combination, “F_JACIN1” is subjected to stop control capable of displaying “7-set rep”. Alternatively, if “J_AC2 Replay” is determined to be the internal winning combination while “F_JACIN3” is carried over as the internal winning combination, “7-set rep” is not displayed. Similarly, when the JAC3 replay is determined as the internal winning combination with "F_JACIN3" carried over as the internal winning combination, the stop control capable of displaying "7-set rep" is performed, and "F_JACIN1" or If the replay of JAC 3 is determined as the internal winning combination with "F_JACIN 2" carried over as the internal winning combination, "7 set of reps" is subjected to stop control that can not be displayed.

  Then, when “7 sets of reps” can be displayed, by referring to the ART lottery table at the start of BB shown in FIG. 83, transition lottery to ART in the bonus state is performed, and lottery (F) is performed. Depending on the type, whether or not to give a benefit can be differentiated, and the interest of the game in the bonus state can be enhanced.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, the probability that a privilege is given is made different by making the probability that the JAC1 system replay, the JAC2 system replay, and the JAC3 system replay be determined as internal winning combinations, respectively. Difference can be made to enhance the interest of the game during the bonus state.

  In addition, the combination relationship of the carrying over role which can display "seven sets of Lips", and a winning combination is arbitrary. For example, for JAC1 replays, the carryover role that can display "7 allies reps" is only "F_JACIN1", and for JAC 2 replays, the carryover roles that can display "seven allies reps" Two types of “F_JACIN1” and “F_JACIN2” may be used, and for JAC3 replays, all “F_JACIN1”, “F_JACIN2” and “F_JACIN3” may be the carryover roles that can display “7-set rep”. Of course, it is good also as not only such a combination but arbitrary combinations.

<Effect by high probability gaming state>
In Pachislot 1, the RT4 gaming state is provided as a high RT state in which the probability of determining the role involved in the replay is determined as the internal winning combination, and winning the transition to ART notifies information on advantageous stop operations in this RT4 gaming state. By doing this, the ART gaming state is realized (see FIG. 55). It should be noted that in Pachi-Slot 1, the RT4 gaming state is shifted to the RT4 gaming state when the correct order of pushing in accordance with the pushing order is made during the RT0 gaming state. In Pachislot 1, when not transitioning to ART, and accidentally transitioning to the RT4 gaming state due to the stop operation, transitioning to ART also occurs in the RT4 gaming state, which is not treated as a penalty but transitioned casually Perform lottery that is advantageous to players such as lottery. Since the RT4 gaming state can play a game without consuming medals because it is a high RT state, the pachislot 1 sets the RT4 gaming state not winning the ART to the transition chance segment to the ART It is possible to enhance the interest during high RT conditions where no benefit is given.

  In addition, since the transition lottery to the ART during the RT4 gaming state is performed, the strategicity for the stop operation during the normal gaming state is increased, and the interest during the normal gaming state can be enhanced. Specifically, in the case of a pachislot that handles the case where it has accidentally shifted to the RT4 gaming state due to the stopping operation as a penalty, the stopping operation in the normal gaming state is simple (for example, the first stopping operation so as not to receive the penalty) For the left reel, etc.). In this respect, in the Pachislot 1 player, since the player does not impose a penalty during the RT4 gaming state which has accidentally transitioned, the player can freely perform the stop operation during the normal gaming state, and only the playability during the normal gaming state The operability can also be enhanced.

  Further, in the pachislot 1, as long as there is an avoidance point, information of an advantageous stop operation (pushing order for avoiding transition to the RT1 gaming state) is notified in the RT4 gaming state which has been shifted accidentally. As a result, when accidentally transitioning to the RT4 gaming state, there is no immediate transition to the normal gaming state, and for a predetermined period, transition lottery to ART can be received with a high probability of replay winning. .

  In addition, by making RT4 gaming state a high probability gaming state with a high probability of winning the transition to ART, it is possible to make the RT4 gaming state which has accidentally transitioned into the transition chance section to ART, and a privilege is awarded. Not be able to enhance the interest during high RT conditions.

  Further, in the pachislot 1, an RT0 gaming state capable of transitioning to the RT4 gaming state as a normal gaming state and an RT1 gaming state incapable of transitioning to the RT4 gaming state are provided. In the case of pachislot machines, it is necessary to adjust the balance between the player's profit and the game shop's profit so as not to give excessive profits to either the player or the game shop. In this respect, comparing the pachislot 1 according to the present invention in which the randomly transitioning RT4 gaming state is the transition chance segment to the ART, and the other gaming machines in which the inadvertently transitioning RT4 gaming state is the penalty interval, The pachislot 1 according to the present invention is advantageous to the player over other gaming machines. Therefore, in Pachislot 1, the balance of both profits can be adjusted by providing the RT1 gaming state which can not shift to the RT4 gaming state. As a result, it is possible to diversify the variable for adjusting the balance of profits between the two, and it is possible to provide a gaming machine rich in playability.

<Effect by apocalypse in normal gaming state (high probability gaming state)>
The pachislot 1 has a complete run CZ as a chance zone of the ART, and when the apocalypse is activated during the normal gaming state and the high probability gaming state, the transition lottery to the CZ when the reel is stopped is performed (A) (D). In this transition lottery (A) (D), when the combination of the displayed symbols is "bell prize" or more, it has a probability according to the effect ball (lottery balls 1 to 4, determined ball) set in the apocalypse To be done. As described above, the transition of the gaming state is performed by performing the transition lottery (A) (D) taking into consideration not only the contents of the effect (the effect balls set in the apocalypse) but also the combination of the symbols displayed as a result of the game. On the other hand, the player's operation can be interposed, and the fairness of the game can be secured.

  In addition, since the transition to CZ at the time of the reel stop lottery (A) (D) is performed when the combination of the displayed symbols is "bell prize" or more, the rare role as an internal winning combination during the apocalypse operation Even if not determined, the player can receive the transitional lottery (A) (D). Therefore, compared to the case of carrying out the transition lottery of the gaming state based on the role of rare, it is possible to give many opportunities to have a sense of expectation, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Also, since the operation of the apocalypse ends when the number of guarantees becomes 0, as shown in FIG. 67C, the number of times of guarantee is subtracted at the time of pushing order bell, so during the operation of the apocalypse You will be given the opportunity to receive the transition lottery (A) (D) for the guaranteed number of times (players can be subject to the transition lottery (A) (D) by making correct answers in order on the occasion) . As a result, according to Pachislot 1, it is possible to avoid a situation in which there is no opportunity to receive transitional lottery (A) (D) at all during apocalypse operation, and to prevent deterioration of the interest of the game. it can. Incidentally, referring to FIG. 67 (C), the number of times of guaranteeing is also subtracted when the internal winning combination is "losing". In this regard, in the case of “off”, the number of guarantees may be subtracted only in the case of the push order bell without subtracting the number of guarantees, thereby making the above-mentioned effect more apparent.

<Effect by CZ>
The Pachislot 1 has a complete run CZ as a chance zone for ART. In this CZ, although the transition lottery in the middle of the CZ performed at the pushing order bell winning is maintained, the stopping operation is performed in the pushing order of the correct answer in the pushing order bell even if the transition drawing is performed. , Transition lottery is invalid, CZ continues. In such a CZ, since the transition lottery to the ART can be received not only at the push order bell win but also at the CZ finish, even if the push order bell does not win at all in the CZ, the player Will be given a chance to transition to ART, which will enhance the interest in CZ.

  In addition, since it is decided that the Pachi-Slot 1 gives a more advantageous privilege (transition to an advantageous ART) at the CZ completion, the player may invalidate the transition lottery in the middle of the CZ performed at the push order bell win. As a result, the user is interested in the combination of the displayed symbols, and the interest in each game in CZ can be improved. Also, from the player's point of view, it is possible to maintain the interest in the CZ until the end, since it is desired to complete the CZ more advantageous.

  Also, in Pachislot 1, an invalid point is awarded during CZ, and as long as this invalid point remains, transition lottery in the middle of CZ is invalidated. This can increase the chance of being subjected to a more advantageous CZ final run transition lottery and can improve the interest in CZ.

  Further, the pachislot 1 includes a plurality of CZ modes having different degrees of expectation to win the transition lottery in the middle of the CZ, and only upgrades the CZ mode according to the number of continuing games in the CZ. As a result, in Pachi-Slo 1, the degree of expectation of ART transition increases as CZ continues, so the player has a strong interest in the combination of symbols displayed in CZ, and the interest in CZ becomes interesting. Can be improved.

  Further, in the pachislot 1, when there is an invalid point remaining, an effect of suggesting or notifying the current CZ mode is performed. As a result, the player can grasp or estimate the degree to which the CZ has become advantageous as a result of the continuation of the CZ, and the interest in the CZ can be improved. The effect of suggesting or informing the current CZ mode may be performed regardless of the invalid point. That is, the pachislot 1 may perform a predetermined effect by comparing the number of games to be shifted from the CZ mode 0 to the CA mode 1 defined in CZ_MAP with the number of continuing games of CZ up to the present.

<Effect by BB mode in bonus state>
Pachislot 1 has a plurality of BB modes with different degrees of expectation for winning the transition to ART in the bonus state, and promotes the BB mode based on the internal winning combination during the bonus state. Thus, the player has a strong interest in the internal winning combination in each game in the bonus state in order to change the probability of winning the transition to ART transition based on the internal winning combination in the bonus state. , Can enhance the interest during the bonus state.

  In Pachi-Slot 1 in particular, BB mode with low expectation rate to win transitional lottery will upgrade BB mode with many winnings, while BB mode with high expectation rate to win transitional lottery will have fewer types of wins You can only upgrade BB mode. As a result, although the type of winning combination to be upgraded to the higher BB mode decreases as the BB mode is upgraded, the degree of expectation for winning the transition lottery increases as the BB mode is upgraded, so the gaming state gradually You can create a game form that will be upgraded. From the player's point of view, instead of having an interest in one game result in the bonus state, an interest in a series of game results in the bonus state will increase interest in the bonus state. Can.

  The BB mode may be upgraded only one step at a time, or multiple steps may be upgraded at one time. When control is performed so that only one step can be upgraded, the degree of expectation during stay in the BB mode with low expectation for winning the transition lottery decreases compared to the case where it is possible to upgrade multiple steps at once. Since it is easy to upgrade from the mode, it becomes easy to create a game form in which the gaming state is gradually upgraded.

  In Pachi-Slot 1, if a JAC 2 system replay or a JAC 3 system replay is determined as an internal winning combination during the bonus state, it is treated as "Chanlip" according to the type of carryover carried forward as an internal winning combination. There are cases and cases where they are treated as replay (see FIG. 81). Then, the BB mode is upgraded in the case of handling as "Chanlipu", and the BB mode is not upgraded in the case of treating as "Replay". This makes it possible to diversify the game in the bonus state and to enhance the interest in the bonus state.

<Effect by the enemy determination ART>
In pachislot 1, a boss ball is set in an apocalypse during enemy determination ART, and an enemy character to be played in battle ART is determined according to the type of boss ball set at the push order bell winning. Then, during the battle ART, the decrease amount of the HP of the ally character and the decrease amount of the HP of the enemy character are varied according to the type of the enemy character. As a result, the result of the game in the hostile ART will affect the presence or absence of continuation of the ART gaming state, so that the interest of the player for the continuation of the ART gaming state can be maintained over a plurality of games. it can.

  Also, in Pachi-Slot 1, since both the attack power and the defense power are set for the enemy character, both the HP reduction amount of the ally character and the HP reduction amount of the enemy character are individually set for each enemy character. It can be set. As a result, it is possible to employ various types of enemy characters such as an enemy character having both high attack power and defense power, an enemy character having only one high character, and an enemy character having low both characters. The game in battle ART can be diversified according to the result of the game of.

  Further, in the pachislot 1, the speed is also set for the enemy character, and the frequency with which the enemy character attacks during the battle ART is determined based on the speed set for the enemy character. Thereby, the game in the battle ART can be further diversified according to the result of the game in the enemy determination ART.

  Also, in Pachislot 1, HP of friend characters is added during enemy determination ART. This makes it easy to avoid that the HP of the teammate character becomes 0 during the battle ART when a lot of additions are performed, and the expectation for the continuation of the ART gaming state increases. Become. As a result, since not only the game in the battle ART but also the game in the enemy determination ART affects the continuation of the ART gaming state, the player's interest in the continuation of the ART gaming state may be played a plurality of times. Can last for a long time.

  In Pachislot 1, when the HP of the ally character is less than the initial value during the enemy determination ART, the HP of the ally character is set to the initial value. This makes it possible to prevent the HP of the ally character from becoming 0 immediately during the battle ART, as the HP of the ally character is at least the initial value or more in the subsequent battle ART. As a result, the continued ART advantageous state is immediately obtained. It is possible to prevent the termination.

  Further, in Pachi-Slo 1, the HP addition of the ally character in the enemy determination ART is performed according to the type of the winning combination determined as the internal winning combination. As a result, for example, when the role of Rea is determined to be an internal winning combination, the amount of addition can be increased, so that it is possible to improve the interest in the hostile ART without causing waste of the role of Rea. Can.

<Effect by battle ART>
In the pachislot 1, an enemy ball or an ally ball is set in the apocalypse during the battle ART, and the HP of the enemy character or the ally character is decreased depending on the kind of the effect ball set at the pushing order bell. When the HP of the enemy character becomes 0 before the HP of the teammate character becomes 0, the ART is continued, and when the HP of the teammate character becomes 0 first, the ART is ended. Here, since the internal winning combination is determined according to the player's start operation, the player will actively participate in the game in the battle ART, and the motivation to the game can be improved. .

  Moreover, the object which reduces HP according to pushing order bell differs according to the production | presentation ball set to the apocalypse. Here, since the effect balls up to a plurality of destination games are set in the apocalypse, the player can play the game after grasping the set effect balls, which is an advantageous timing for the player side You will want to win the order bell by pushing. As a result, the effect balls and the player's start operation can be strongly linked, and the player can be made to play a game with a sense of tension, so the interest in the battle ART can be improved.

  In addition, since the pushing parter who reduces the HP is a winning combination for notification in the battle ART, that the pushing order bell is determined as the internal winning combination affects the profit given during the battle ART It will be. For example, depending on the gaming machine, a winning combination that reduces the HP of the teammate character may be replayed, and a winning combination that reduces the HP of the enemy character may be a push bell. However, in such a gaming machine, the presence or absence of a winning combination affecting profit is directly linked to the continuation of ART, and the game becomes monotonous. In this respect, like Pachislot 1, the playability in Battle ART is diversified by making the winning bells of pushing order that affect profits be advantageous / disadvantageous according to the set balls. It is possible to enhance the interest during battle ART.

  In the case of winning the so-called rare role, the pachislot 1 reduces the HP of the enemy character regardless of the set effect ball. In this way, it is possible to prevent a waste of the rare role, and the player expects that the rare role will be determined as an internal winning combination during the battle ART, thereby enhancing the interest in the battle ART. Can.

  Also, in Pachislot 1, if four enemy balls are set in succession during the battle ART, then always set the ally balls. As a result, it is possible to prevent the situation which is disadvantageous for the player from being sustained for a long time, so that the player can play the game during the battle ART at ease.

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although the pachi slot 1 which concerns on this embodiment was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this.

  In the pachislo of the above embodiment, when the effect ball is set in the apocalypse, it is set on condition that the internal winning combination is "Bell winning" or more, or the combination of displayed symbols is "Bell winning" or more. It is decided to carry out lottery based on the production balls. In this respect, when the effect ball is set in the apocalypse, lottery based on the effect ball may be performed regardless of the internal winning combination or the combination of the displayed symbols. In such pachislot machines, the game balance can be adjusted by adjusting the frequency of setting blanks (empty) in the apocalypse.

  In the pachislot of the above embodiment, the secondary control circuit 42 manages transition control to an advantageous state (for example, "ART state"), manages the duration of the advantageous state, and reports (navigation) performed during the advantageous state. Although management is performed, one or all of these controls may be performed in the main control circuit 41.

  Note that, as the transition control to the advantageous state, for example, control (transition lottery) regarding transitioning to / not transitioning to the advantageous state can be mentioned. Further, for example, in the case of a pachislot 1 in which a plurality of states having different winning probabilities are provided in the transition to the advantageous state, control regarding the transition between the states can also be included in the transition control to the advantageous state.

  The management of the duration of the advantageous state is, in the case of the above embodiment, control for increasing or decreasing the HP of the enemy character and the allied character, and in the case of other pachislots, for example, the number of initial games in the advantageous state. There is a decision, addition control of AT game number. Also, for example, in the case of the pachislot 1 where the advantageous state continues with a predetermined probability, the lottery of whether or not to continue can also be included in the management of the duration of the advantageous state.

  As the duration of the advantageous state, the number of unit games in the advantageous state, the number of times of notifying information advantageous to the player during the advantageous state, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state according to the specification of the gaming machine An arbitrary period such as the number of sets when the predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) is one set can be included.

  At this time, as the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state, a net increase number obtained by subtracting the number of medals used in the game from the number of medals paid out in the same game may be used. Also, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may be calculated based on the medals actually increased during the advantageous state (calculation based on the actual value), and whether or not the number actually increased. It is also possible to calculate based on the number of medals scheduled to be increased when following the navigation (calculation based on an ideal value). Further, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may not be increased depending on the type of the internal winning combination. For example, with regard to a part combination having a low probability of being determined as an internal winning combination, or a combination in which display / non-display of a combination of symbols is switched according to the timing of stop operation, the combination is determined as an internal combination winning combination Also, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may not be increased or decreased.

  Further, management of notification (navigation) performed during the advantageous state includes control for notifying a mode of stop operation advantageous for the player by the liquid crystal display device 10 or the like.

  In addition, as an aspect of the stop operation to notify the player, the order (pushing order) of the stop operation may be displayed in which the combination of symbols advantageous to the player is displayed, and the combination of the symbols is displayed. It may be the timing (pattern to be aimed) of the stop operation necessary for

  Further, as an advantageous state, the mode of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player without changing the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to the replay (or changing it in a range which does not affect the playability) It is also possible to use a so-called "AT" to notify, and to activate the replay high probability state (replay time) in which the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to the replay becomes high, and the stop operation advantageous for the player It is also possible to use a so-called "ART" which reports the aspect of

  Further, in the pachislots of the above-described embodiment or the above-described various modifications, an effect determined at a predetermined probability according to the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 41, that is, one or more effects for one internal winning combination. To do. In this regard, a display (notification) uniquely corresponding to the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 41 may be performed together with the effect. Specifically, the display corresponding to the determined internal winning combination in one-to-one correspondence may be performed on the above-described 7-segment display 6 or a display unit (not shown) for displaying the internal winning combination. The display of the internal winning combination is preferably performed under the control of the main control circuit 41. As the main control circuit 41 itself notifies the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 41 in this manner, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which fairness is secured.

[Supplementary Note 1]
Pachi-slot 1 of Appendix 1 is as follows.

[Background technology]
Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). According to the gaming machine equipped with such an AT function, since the number of gaming media to be paid out to the player is controlled by controlling whether or not to perform navigation, the player is required to continue the AT. It is hoped that the number of navi games will increase.

  Also, in recent years, in a high probability re-gaming state (RT), the probability of being able to play a game (re-playing) without internal medals being determined as an internal winning combination with high probability is triggered by a predetermined condition. Also known are gaming machines that operate. For example, a patent document (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-204875) discloses a gaming machine that activates a high probability re-playing state when the bonus state is over.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the gaming machine of the patent document, since the high probability re-playing state is activated after the end of the bonus, it is possible to play the game without reducing the medals after the end of the bonus, but the high probability re-playing state always occurs after the end of the bonus , There is a risk that the game during the bonus becomes monotonous. Therefore, in the gaming machine which operates the high probability re-playing state after the end of the bonus, there is a demand for a mechanism that the game during the bonus does not become monotonous.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a demand, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the interest of the game in the special gaming state.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gaming machine according to the present invention has a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and symbol display means (for example, for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels) , The display window 4), start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, start switch 16S) for detecting the start operation by the player, and rotating the reel based on detection of the start operation by the start operation detection means The symbol changing means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R) for changing the symbol by causing the game to play, the normal state, and a special game having a gaming state advantageous to the player compared to the normal state. Switching the gaming state triggered by a predetermined condition as an internal lottery table provided corresponding to a plurality of gaming states including the state (for example, bonus state) Based on the detection of the start operation by the conversion means (for example, the main control circuit 41) and the start operation detection means, referring to the internal lottery table corresponding to the current gaming state, an internal winning combination is selected from among a plurality of combinations. Internal winning combination determination means (for example, main control circuit 41) to be determined, and stop operation detection means (for example, main control circuit) provided corresponding to the plurality of reels and detecting a stop operation for stopping each reel 41, the stop of the reel by stopping the rotation of the reel based on the stop switch 17S), the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means, and the timing at which the stop operation is detected by the stop operation detecting means. The reel stop control means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means, and the reel stop control means Whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means is won based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the effective line provided on the symbol display means when the variation of the pattern is stopped And the internal lottery table provided corresponding to the special game state is determined as an internal winning combination by the internal winning combination determining means. And, during the special game state, any of a plurality of carryover combinations (for example, F_JACIN 1 to 3) that can be carried over as internal winning combinations until it is determined by the winning determination means that the special gaming state can be determined as internal winning combinations Configured, and in the special gaming state, the first carryover combination (for example, F_JACIN1) of the plurality of carryover combinations is carried over as an internal winning combination When the predetermined winning combination (for example, F_J1 upper row 7 lip to F_J1 cross 7 lip) is determined as the internal winning combination by the internal winning combination determining means, a bonus (for example, winning of ART transition lottery) is awarded, and the first carryover combination Privilege giving means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) which does not give the privilege when the predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination when a second carry-over combination (for example, F_JACIN2) different from And the like.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention can carry any one of a plurality of carryover roles as an internal winning combination during the special game state. Then, the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the predetermined combination is determined as the internal winning combination, grants a benefit when carrying over the first carryover role and does not give a benefit when carrying over the second carryover role. . As a result, even when the predetermined winning combination is won internally, whether or not the benefit is given can be differentiated depending on the type of the carryover combination, so that the game in the special gaming state can be diversified. , Can enhance the interest of the game during the special game state.

[Supplementary Note 2]
Pachi-slot 1 in Appendix 2 is as follows.

[Background technology]
Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). In a gaming machine having such an AT function, a high probability re-gaming state (RT: replay time) in which notification of information advantageous to the player is made high with a probability that replay (re-play) is determined as an internal winning combination. It is also common practice to realize an advantageous advantageous state (ART) advantageous to the player by performing in.

  By the way, in the gaming machine provided with the ART function, even if the transition to the advantageous state is not determined, the operation of the high probability replay state may be performed by the stop operation of the player. In this regard, in the patent document (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-233721), when the transition to the advantageous state is not determined, the player is not notified of the advantageous information for the player during the high probability replay state, and the high It is described that control to fall to a normal state from probability re-playing state is performed.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Here, the control to fall from the high probability re-gaming state to the normal state when the transition to the advantageous state is not determined is used as a so-called penalty, accidentally by the player's stop operation, the high probability re-gaming state It was common not to do the shift lottery to the advantageous state when the operation of the.

  However, in spite of the fact that the gaming state is high probability re-gaming state, if transition lottery to the advantageous state is not performed, the high probability re-gaming state in which the benefit is not provided (for example, RT during ART non winning) It is lacking in the fun of

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine which improves the interest of a game to which a privilege is not given.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, there is a probability that the probability that the replay related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination is low (for example, RT0 gaming state or RT1 gaming state) and the replay is determined as an internal winning combination A gaming machine having a high RT state (for example, RT4 gaming state) higher than the normal state, and a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and the reels Symbol display means (for example, display window 4) for displaying a part of a plurality of displayed symbols, and start operation detection means (for example, main control circuit 41, start switch 16S) for detecting a start operation by a player; A symbol variation unit (for example, the main control circuit 41, a step that changes the symbol by rotating the reel based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detection unit) The first symbol combination (for example, RT4 transition ripple) according to the order of the stop operation when it is determined as the internal winning combination based on the detection of the start operation by the first motor 61L, 61C, 61R) and the start operation detection means. Or according to the order of the stop operation when the second symbol combination (for example, RT1 transition ripple) can be stopped and displayed and the first push order (for example, push order ripple) and the internal winning combination are determined. The symbol combination (for example, bell spilled eye) or the fourth symbol combination (for example, combination of symbols displayed at the time of pressing order) includes a second pressing order (for example, pressing order bell) that can be stopped and displayed. An internal winning combination determining means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining an internal winning combination with a predetermined probability from among a plurality of winning combinations, and a stop for stopping each reel provided corresponding to the plurality of reels Manipulation Stop operation detecting means (for example, main control circuit 41, stop switch 17S) for detecting the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means, and the timing when the stop operation is detected by the stop operation detecting means Based on the reel stop control means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by stopping the rotation of the reel, and the reel stop control means The determination means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining the combination of the symbols stopped on the effective line provided on the symbol display means based on the fact that the fluctuation is stopped, and the determination during the normal state It is determined that the first symbol combination of the first symbol combination and the second symbol combination according to the first pushing order has been stopped by the means. And the RT start means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for shifting the gaming state from the normal state to the high RT state, and the second push order by the determination means during the high RT state. If it is determined that the third symbol combination of the corresponding third symbol combination and the fourth symbol combination is stopped, the gaming state is shifted from the high RT state to the normal state, and When it is determined that the symbol combination of 4 is stopped, RT termination means (for example, the main control circuit 41) maintaining the high RT state, and a predetermined lottery performed during the normal state or the high RT state (for example, , ART If you win a lottery, a special effect state transitioning means (for example, sub-control) that transfers the effect state about the game to a specific effect state (for example, ART gaming state) that reports information on an advantageous stop operation When the RT start means shifts the gaming state to the high RT state in a state where the predetermined lottery is not won, the second push order is determined as an internal winning combination. Informing frequency determination means (for example, sub control) which determines the number of informing times (for example, the number of guarantees) informing the information (for example, the pushing order of the correct answer to the pushing order bell) of the stop operation necessary to stop the symbol combination of 4 When the circuit 42) and the specific effect state transitioning means are shifted to the specific effect state, the first symbol combination is stopped when the first push order is determined as an internal winning combination during the normal state. To notify information on stop operation necessary to perform the same, and to notify information on stop operation advantageous during the high RT state, and the second push during the high RT state which is not equal to the predetermined lottery. The official role is an internal winning combination And notification means (for example, the sub control circuit 42 and the liquid crystal display device 10) for notifying information of the stop operation which is advantageous only for the notification frequency determined by the notification frequency determination device when determined. .

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the high RT state has a normal state in which the probability that replay related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination is low, and a high RT state in which the probability that replay is determined as an internal winning combination is high. By notifying information of the stop operation which is advantageous in the specific effect state in, it is possible to realize a game state (so-called ART) which is advantageous for the player. Here, since the transition to the specific effect state is performed not only by the predetermined lottery performed in the normal state, but also by the predetermined lottery performed in the high RT state, the predetermined lottery is performed. Even in the case of transition to the high RT state in the absence state, the transition to the specific effect state can be expected thereafter. As a result, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, a high RT state not winning a predetermined lottery can be made a transition chance segment to an advantageous gaming state (so-called ART), and a privilege is given. None can enhance the interest during high RT conditions (not winning a given lottery).

  Further, since the predetermined lottery is performed in the high RT state, the strategicity for the stop operation in the normal state is increased, and the interest in the normal state can be enhanced. That is, as in the conventional gaming machine, in the game characteristic that imposes a penalty during the high RT state in which no benefit is given, the stop operation in the normal state is simple (for example, the first stop operation so as not to receive the penalty). It must be done for the left reel, etc.). In this respect, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, since the predetermined lottery is performed without imposing a penalty during the high RT state, the player can freely perform the stop operation during the normal state, and the normal state is performed. Not only the playability but also the operability can be enhanced.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the third symbol combination corresponding to the second pressing order is stopped during the high RT state, the high RT state is ended and the gaming state is shifted to the normal state. Transitioning to a high RT state without winning a lottery, for example, the information of advantageous stop operation (for example, it is necessary to stop the fourth symbol combination when the second push order is determined as an internal winning combination Information of the stop operation) is notified a predetermined number of times. Thereby, when the player's stop operation accidentally shifts to the high RT state, the high RT state does not immediately shift to the normal state, and a predetermined lottery is received with a high probability of replay win. be able to.

[Background technology]
Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). In a gaming machine having such an AT function, a high probability re-gaming state (RT: replay time) in which notification of information advantageous to the player is made high with a probability that replay (re-play) is determined as an internal winning combination. It is also common practice to realize an advantageous advantageous state (ART) advantageous to the player by performing in.

  By the way, in a gaming machine equipped with an ART function, a chance zone having a high expectation of transition to the ART state is provided, and control is made to shift to the ART state with high probability when a specific condition is satisfied in this chance zone. . For example, in the patent document (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-048945), when a specific symbol combination (RT operation symbol 1) is aimed in the chance zone (CZ) and a specific symbol combination is displayed, the replay is internal A gaming machine is disclosed that performs control to shift to a high RT with a high probability as a winning combination.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the gaming machines of such patent documents, the interest of the player in the chance zone is concentrated on whether or not a specific symbol combination is displayed. By the way, since whether or not a specific symbol combination is displayed depends on the result of internal lottery, depending on the player, there is a chance that the particular symbol combination may be displayed in the chance zone. May not be obtained even once, or the possibility of the possibility may be extremely small. In such a case, for the player, even though the player has moved to the chance zone, no chance will be obtained, which may lower the interest of the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a game during a predetermined period which is a trigger for transition to an advantageous state for the player. The purpose is

[Means for Solving the Problems]
A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine having a normal state (for example, a general gaming state) and an advantageous state (for example, an ART gaming state) which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. A plurality of reels (eg, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed and symbol display means (eg, display window 4) for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels And the start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the start switch 16S) for detecting the start operation by the player and the symbol by rotating the reel based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detection means Based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R) The first symbol combination (for example, the combination of symbols displayed at the time of pressing order correct) or the second symbol combination (for example, bell spilled eyes) according to the order of the stop operation when determined as the internal winning combination Internal winning combination determining means (for example, main control circuit 41) for determining an internal winning combination with a predetermined probability out of a plurality of winning combinations including a pressing order that can be stopped and displayed (for example, pressing order bell); Stop operation detecting means (for example, main control circuit 41, stop switch 17S) provided corresponding to the reels and detecting the stop operation for stopping each reel, and the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means The rotation of the reel is stopped based on the combination and the timing when the stop operation is detected by the stop operation detection means, thereby stopping the variation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means. To the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line provided on the symbol display means when the reel stop control means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for causing the change and the fluctuation of the symbol are stopped by the reel stop control means Based on the winning combination determining means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the stop switch 17S) that determines whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means has been won, and the predetermined condition as a trigger A lottery state start means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) for starting an advantageous state lottery state (for example, CZ) to perform transition lottery whether or not to shift to an advantageous state, and the internal winning combination determination in the advantageous state lottery state A first transition lottery (for example, in the middle of CZ) which determines with a predetermined probability to shift to the advantageous state when the pushing executive is determined as the internal winning combination by the means A second transition lottery (for example, to determine transition to the advantageous state when a predetermined number of unit games (for example, 30 games) elapse in the advantageous state lottery state). The first symbol combination is displayed on the effective line in the advantageous state lottery means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) which performs the transition lottery to the ART performed at the CZ completion and the unit game in which the first transition lottery is performed. Then, the first transition lottery is invalidated regardless of the transition lottery result to the advantageous state, and when the second symbol combination is displayed on the activated line in the unit game, the first transition lottery Lottery result management means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) for maintaining the lottery result of the first and second transitions, and the first transition lottery is performed in the advantageous state lottery state, and the lottery result management means When the lottery result of the first transition lottery is maintained, or when the predetermined number of unit games have passed, lottery state end means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) for terminating the advantageous state lottery state; And an advantageous state transition means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) for transitioning the state to play the game to the advantageous state when it is determined to make the transition to the advantageous state by the first transition lottery or the second transition lottery. The advantageous state transition means is more advantageous than the case where it is determined to transition to the advantageous state by the first transition lottery when it is determined to transition to the advantageous state by the second transition lottery. It is characterized by transitioning to an advantageous state (for example, ART gaming state of more favorable ART state).

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the advantageous state lottery state (chance zone) in which the transition to the advantageous state to the player's advantageous state is performed, the first position is triggered by the determination that the pushing advance is made as the internal winning combination. Make a migration lottery. The advantageous state lottery state is ended when the first transition lottery is performed and the lottery result of the first transition lottery is maintained or a predetermined number of unit games elapse. As described above, in the gaming machine that performs shift lottery to the advantageous state based on the internal winning combination, some players may not be able to receive the first shift lottery at all during the advantageous state lottery status, but the invention relates to the present invention. In the gaming machine, the second transition lottery is performed when a predetermined number of unit games have passed in the advantageous state lottery state. This makes it possible to improve the enjoyment during the advantageous state lottery state, since the transition to the advantageous state can always be received even if the push service is not determined as the internal winning combination in the advantageous state lottery state. .

  Further, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the first lottery is performed when the pushing bonus is determined as the internal winning combination, but the first transition lottery is performed when the first symbol combination is displayed as a result of the stop operation. The result of the first transition lottery is maintained when the second symbol combination is displayed. According to such control, since the player is also interested in the symbol combination displayed in the game in which the pushing bonus is determined as the internal winning combination, the interest in each game in the advantageous state lottery state Can be improved. In particular, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the player enters the second symbol because the advantageous state of transition through the second transition lottery is an advantageous state of advantage over the advantageous state of transition through the first transition lottery. It is desired that a predetermined number of unit games pass without the combination being displayed (the first transition lottery being maintained and the advantageous state lottery state being ended), and the interest in the advantageous state lottery state be maintained until the end it can.

Whether to shift to the above-mentioned advantageous state triggered by a prize determination means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the above has won a prize and a predetermined condition (for example, operation of BB) The advantageous state lottery state (for example, the bonus state) to perform the transition lottery whether or not is started, and triggered by a specific condition (for example, that 59 medals are paid out) in the advantageous state lottery state, the advantageous state lottery A game state control means (for example, the main control circuit 41) which ends the state, and an advantageous state lottery means (the main state is made to shift to the advantageous state when the gaming state control means ends the advantageous state lottery state) For example, when the secondary control circuit 42) and the lottery of the advantageous state lottery means are won, the advantageous state start means (for example, the secondary control) which shifts the state to play the game to the advantageous state Circuit 42), wherein the advantageous state lottery state is a first lottery state (for example, BB mode 0) having the lowest probability of winning the transition lottery by the advantageous state lottery means, and the probability is the first lottery state. A plurality of second lottery states (eg, BB mode 1) higher than the states, and a plurality of third lottery states (eg, BB mode 2) in which the probability is higher than the first lottery state and the second lottery state A lottery state transition means (eg, having a lottery state (for example, BB mode) and making a plurality of the lottery states transition based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means in the advantageous state lottery state It further comprises a sub control circuit 42), and the lottery state transition means is an internal winning combination of any one of the first number of the combination including the first combination and the second combination of the plurality of combinations in the first lottery condition. Decided And the first lottery state is transitioned from the first lottery state to the second lottery state, and the second lottery state includes the first combination of the plurality of combinations and does not include the second combination. A gaming machine characterized by transitioning the lottery state from the second lottery state to the third lottery state when any one of a second number smaller than the number is determined as an internal winning combination.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the transition lottery of whether to shift to the advantageous state at the end of the advantageous state lottery state is performed. At this time, the gaming machine according to the present invention has a plurality of lottery states including a first lottery state, a second lottery state and a third lottery state, which have different probability of winning a transition lottery, and the inside during the advantageous state lottery state. A plurality of lottery states are transitioned based on the winning combination. As a result, since the probability of winning the transition lottery can be changed based on the internal winning combination, the player has a strong interest in the internal winning combination in each game in the advantageous state lottery state, which is advantageous. The state can be enhanced during the lottery state.

  In particular, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, from the first lottery state to the second lottery state where the probability of winning the transition lottery is higher, any one of the internal winnings of the first number of roles including the first and second roles. A second number less than the first number that includes the first combination and does not include the second combination, transits to be determined as the combination, and the third lottery state where the probability of winning the transition lottery is higher from the second lottery state is higher than the number including the first combination. Transition is made when one of internal winning combinations is determined as internal winning combination. As a result, although the type of role that triggers the transition to the higher lottery state decreases as the lottery state transitions, the probability of winning the transition lottery along with the transition of the lottery state is also increased. A game form in which the state is gradually upgraded can be created. From the player's point of view, the player is not interested in a single internal lottery result in the advantageous state lottery state, but has an interest in a series of internal lottery results in the advantageous state lottery state. It can enhance the interest during the lottery status.

It is also common practice to realize an advantageous advantageous state (ART) advantageous to the player by performing in.

  By the way, since the game in the advantageous state tends to be monotonous, in recent years, attempts to diversify the game property in the advantageous state are widely performed. For example, in the patent document (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-152165), a free game is played when a predetermined condition is established, and the number of fighter symbols displayed as a result of the free game is displayed on the liquid crystal display A gaming machine has been disclosed in which diversity is given to the effect and the payout form by using the remaining number of fighter planes on the player side of the shooting game which is effect-displayed above.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the gaming machine of the patent document, since free games and effects (shooting games) are configured to automatically proceed under control of the gaming machine side, the progress of the game by the player can not be reflected in the effect contents. , The player could not actively participate in the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a game in an advantageous state by causing a player to actively participate in a game. The purpose is

[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gaming machine according to the present invention has a normal state (for example, a general gaming state) and an advantageous state (for example, a battle ART in an ART gaming state) which is advantageous to the player as compared to the normal state. A gaming machine, comprising: a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and a symbol display means (for example, display) for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels The reel is rotated based on the detection of the start operation by the window 4), the start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the start switch 16S) for detecting the start operation by the player, and the start operation detection means. The symbol changing means (for example, the main control circuit 41, stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R) for changing the symbols by the start operation by the start operation detecting means The internal winning combination determining means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining the internal winning combination with a predetermined probability from among the plurality of winning combinations, provided corresponding to the plurality of reels, each reel The stop operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the stop switch 17S) for detecting the stop operation for stopping, the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determination means, and the stop operation by the stop operation detection means Reel stop control means (for example, main control circuit 41) for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by stopping the rotation of the reel based on the detected timing, and the reel stop When the variation of the symbol is stopped by the control means, the inside of the inside is determined based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the effective line provided on the symbol display means. Prize determination means (for example, the main control circuit 41) that determines whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means has won, and the advantageous state starting means that starts the advantageous state triggered by a predetermined condition If the predetermined combination (for example, pushing order bell) is determined as the internal winning combination in the advantageous state (for example, the sub control circuit 42), information on the stopping operation (for example, a large number of payouts) advantageous for the player And notification means (for example, the sub control circuit 42 and the liquid crystal display device 10) for notifying information for displaying the combination of the first and second numerical information (for example, HP of the ally character) prior to the start of the advantageous state. And second numerical value information (for example, enemy character's HP), numerical value determination means (for example, sub control circuit 42), and during the advantageous state, from the current game to the predetermined number of games ahead Effect information registration means (for example, sub control circuit 42) for registering effect information (for example, effect balls) in a plurality of games (for example, setting in an apocalypse displayed on the liquid crystal display device 10); When the predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination in a game in which first effect information (for example, an enemy ball) is registered, a first predetermined value is subtracted from the first numerical information, and as the effect information A numerical value updating means (for example, a subtractive unit) for subtracting a second predetermined value from the second numerical information when the predetermined combination is determined as an internal winning combination in a game in which second effect information (for example, allied balls) is registered. When the first numerical information falls below the threshold as a result of subtraction by the control circuit 42) and the numerical value updating means, the advantageous state is ended when the first numerical information falls below the threshold, and the advantageous state is renewed when the second numerical information falls below the threshold. Advantageously state control means (e.g., the sub-control circuit 42) for starting to the, characterized in that it comprises a.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, during the advantageous state, the first numerical information and the second numerical information are subtracted based on the presentation information and the internal winning combination, and the second numerical information is less than the threshold. If the numerical information can be reduced below the threshold, the advantageous state is continued. Here, since the internal winning combination is determined in accordance with the player's start operation, the player can actively participate in the game in the advantageous state, and the motivation to the game can be improved. .

  Further, even when the predetermined winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the target to be subtracted (the first numerical information or the second numerical information) differs according to the effect information registered in the game. For the player, since the first numerical information is subtracted in the state where the first effect information is registered, the player does not want to win a predetermined combination, but the second effect information is registered. Would like to win the prize of the designated role. Here, since the effect information is registered for a plurality of games from the current game to the game a predetermined number of times ahead, the player can play the game after grasping the effect information registered in advance, It is desirable for the player to win a predetermined part at a timing advantageous to the player (the second effect information is registered). As a result, the registered effect information and the player's start operation can be strongly linked, and the player can play a game with a sense of tension, so that the interest in the advantageous state can be improved. it can.

  In addition, since the predetermined combination for subtracting the first numerical information or the second numerical information is the combination of the notification target, that the predetermined combination is determined as the internal winning combination affects the profit given during the advantageous state. It will be given. For example, depending on the gaming machine, the role to which the first numerical information is to be subtracted may be the first role (such as replay) that does not affect profits, and the role to which the second numerical information may be subtracted may affect the profits. It is also conceivable to use two roles (such as a bell). In such a gaming machine, the presence or absence of the winning of the second part affecting the profit is directly linked to the continuation of the advantageous state, and the game becomes monotonous. In this respect, as in the gaming machine according to the present invention, by making the winning of the predetermined role affecting the profit advantageous / unfavorable in accordance with the registered presentation information, the game characteristic in the advantageous state is achieved. It can be diversified and can enhance the interest during the advantageous state.

Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). In a gaming machine having such an AT function, a high probability re-gaming state (RT: replay time) in which notification of information advantageous to the player is made high with a probability that replay (re-play) is determined as an internal winning combination. It is also common practice to realize an advantageous advantageous state (ART) advantageous to the player by performing in.

  By the way, in a gaming machine having a plurality of gaming states, it is common to shift the gaming state based on winning or winning of a so-called rare role such as watermelon or cherry. For example, in the patent document (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-048945), RT operation symbols 1 and 2 displayed when Cherry 1, 2 and 3 are determined as internal winning combinations are displayed during a predetermined period. It is disclosed that the game state is shifted to the game state advantageous to the player. Here, since the internal winning combination is determined according to the player's start operation, the player's operation is reflected in the game result by shifting the gaming state based on the result of the internal lottery as in the patent document It is possible to realize the playability in which the player actively participates in the game.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since so-called rares such as watermelon and cherry have a low probability of winning, when transitioning the gaming state according to the presence or absence of the winnings of the rare as in the case of the gaming machine of the patent document, some players There is also a possibility that a chance can not be obtained, which may reduce the interest of the game.

  On the other hand, although it is possible to consider the game characteristic to shift the gaming state regardless of the player's operation, in such a gaming machine, apart from the original game characteristic of the pachislot machine that advances the game according to the player's operation Since the decision to affect the benefit to be given will be made, there is a possibility that it lacks the suitability as a pachislot machine and may damage the fairness of the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of shifting a gaming state rich in gaming characteristics while associating it with the result of the gaming.

  Therefore, in recent years, devices for increasing the period of AT and ART have been made from various viewpoints, and, for example, in patent documents (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-057732), identification such as watermelon and cherry as internal winning combination A game machine is disclosed that increases the number of AT games when the role of is determined. According to this gaming machine, since the number of AT games increases according to the internal winning combination, the player pays attention to the result of the internal winning combination, and the interest of the game is improved.

[Summary of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the gaming machine of the patent document, since the number of AT games is simply increased based on the internal winning combination, the game characteristic tends to be monotonous, and the player's expectation for the continuation of AT and ART is It concentrated on only one game and was unable to sustain the player's expectation.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a gaming machine capable of sustaining a player's interest in continuation of an advantageous state (such as AT or ART) over a plurality of games. The purpose is

[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gaming machine according to the present invention has a normal state (for example, a general gaming state) and an advantageous state (for example, a battle ART in an ART gaming state) which is advantageous to the player as compared to the normal state. A gaming machine, comprising: a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and a symbol display means (for example, display) for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels The reel is rotated based on the detection of the start operation by the window 4), the start operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the start switch 16S) for detecting the start operation by the player, and the start operation detection means. The symbol changing means (for example, the main control circuit 41, stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R) for changing the symbols by the start operation by the start operation detecting means The internal winning combination determining means (for example, the main control circuit 41) for determining the internal winning combination with a predetermined probability from among the plurality of winning combinations, provided corresponding to the plurality of reels, each reel The stop operation detection means (for example, the main control circuit 41, the stop switch 17S) for detecting the stop operation for stopping, the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determination means, and the stop operation by the stop operation detection means Reel stop control means (for example, main control circuit 41) for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by stopping the rotation of the reel based on the detected timing, and the reel stop When the variation of the symbol is stopped by the control means, the inside of the inside is determined based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the effective line provided on the symbol display means. Prize determination means (for example, the main control circuit 41) that determines whether or not the internal winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means has won, and the advantageous state starting means that starts the advantageous state triggered by a predetermined condition (For example, the sub control circuit 42), and determination means for determining the first numerical information (for example, the HP of the friend character) and the second numerical information (for example, the HP of the enemy character) prior to the start of the advantageous state For example, the sub control circuit 42) and effect information registration means (for example, sub control) for registering effect information (for example, effect balls) in a plurality of games from the current game to a predetermined number of games ahead during the advantageous state In the game in which the circuit 42) and the first effect information (for example, an enemy ball) are registered as the effect information, a first predetermined value is subtracted from the first numerical information, and a second performance is performed as the effect information. Numeric update means (for example, sub control circuit 42) for subtracting a second predetermined value from the second numerical information in the game in which the out information (for example, ally ball) is registered, and the result of subtraction by the numerical update means Advantageous state control means (for example, the sub control circuit 42) which ends the advantageous state when the first numerical information falls below a threshold, and newly starts the advantageous state when the second numerical information falls below the threshold; And the effect information registration unit is configured to continuously perform the first specific number of times when the first effect information is registered as the specific information (for example, four times) continuously as the effect information in the plurality of games. The second effect information is registered as effect information following the effect information.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the advantageous state is ended when the first numerical value information becomes smaller than the threshold value, and is continued when the second numerical value information becomes smaller than the threshold value before the first numerical value information becomes smaller than the threshold value. Here, since subtraction of the first numerical information and the second numerical information is performed based on the effect information registered for each game, whether or not the advantageous state continues depends on the game results of the plurality of games. It will be different. Therefore, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the interest of the player for the continuation of the advantageous state can be maintained over a plurality of games.

  Further, the effect information for subtracting the numerical information is registered in advance not only for the current game but also for a plurality of games from the current game to a predetermined number of previous games. From the player's point of view, it is possible to grasp the flow of the subsequent game from the contents of the effect information registered in advance up to a plurality of previous games, and to be interested in the subsequent game as well as the current game. , Can improve the interest during the advantageous state.

  At this time, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the first effect information that is an opportunity to end the advantageous state is registered a specific number of times consecutively, the second effect that is an opportunity to continue the advantageous state as subsequent effect information. Register information. As a result, it is possible to prevent the situation which is disadvantageous for the player from being sustained for a long period of time, so that the player can play the game in an advantageous state at ease.
