JP, 2013-094297, A

  However, in the above slot machine, since the presence or absence of a plurality of benefits such as a special combination and a navigation stock is notified at the same timing, the player can be expected only at one timing, which is a benefit. It was not possible to sustain the player's expectation for the awarding of Furthermore, in the above slot machine, since the difference in the degree of advantage among the plurality of benefits is not taken into consideration at all, the relationship between the advantage of the benefit and the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant is not taken into consideration either. I could not improve the interest.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such a situation, and its purpose is to maintain the player's sense of expectation for the awarding of a benefit, and at the same time to the notification timing of the advantage of the benefit and the presence or absence of an award. It is providing a slot machine which can improve interest.

(1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying plural types of identification information that can be identified,
After the variable display unit is variably displayed, a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result,
Predetermining means for determining a display result which permits derivation;
Derivation operation means operated to cause display results to be derived;
Notification state control means for controlling the operation mode of the derivation operation means advantageous for the player when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the specific determination result based on the first right, in a notification state capable of notifying ,
High probability state control means for controlling to a high probability state that the probability that the first right is granted is higher than the normal state based on the second right;
A decision means for deciding whether or not to grant the first right based on the decision result of the prior decision means, and deciding whether or not to grant the second right.
First informing means for informing, at a first informing timing, presence / absence of provision of the first right based on the determination of the determining means;
And second notification means for notifying of the presence / absence of the second right at a second notification timing based on the determination of the determination means, and
The first notification timing is earlier than the second notification timing.
The slot machine may be configured as follows.
A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified;
After the variable display unit is variably displayed, a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) where winning can be generated according to the display result,
A first benefit (for example, a right to AT control) is established based on the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, that the AT role has been won and that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the AT role has been operated). Decision means (for example, main control) for deciding whether or not to grant the second navistock (for example, the CZ game which becomes the right to CZ control, BB winning) AT lottery by part 41, CZ lottery, internal lottery),
First notification means (for example, notification of the presence or absence of AT winning during the first effect by the sub control unit 91) for notifying the presence or absence of the provision of the first benefit at a first notification timing based on the determination of the determination means;
Second notification means for notifying at the second notification timing of the provision of the second benefit based on the determination of the determination means (for example, notification of the presence or absence of CZ winning during the second effect by the sub control unit 91, during the third effect Notification of the BB winning or not in
The first benefit is a benefit having a higher degree of advantage than the second benefit (for example, during AT, the number of payouts is greater than during CZ or BB),
The first informing timing and the second informing timing are different timings (for example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the highest advantage is obtained first before the BB winning and CZ games are added or not). For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, notification of BB winning and CZ games being notified is given first prior to whether or not navigation stock having the highest advantage is given. Will be

  According to such a configuration, it is determined whether or not to grant the first benefit based on the establishment of the predetermined condition, and it is determined whether to grant the second benefit, but the first benefit Since the first notification timing in which the presence or absence of the provision of the second benefit is notified differs from the second notification timing in which the presence or absence of the second benefit is notified, the player can be expected over a plurality of timings. The player's expectation for the player can be sustained. Furthermore, since the first benefit is a benefit having a higher degree of advantage than the second benefit, it is possible to attract more attention of the player with respect to the first notification timing than the second notification timing, and the benefit degree of the benefit is given. The interest of the game can be improved in relation to the notification timing of the presence or absence.

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The first notification timing is a timing earlier than the second notification timing (for example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, it has the highest advantage first prior to the BB win and CZ game addition / non-display). You will be informed of the availability of the navistock).

  According to such a configuration, after the predetermined condition is established, the notification of the presence or absence of the first benefit having a high degree of advantage is notified first before the presence or absence of the second benefit. By making the player expect the award of the first benefit with a high degree of advantage, it is possible to continuously improve the expectation of the player and to improve the interest of the game.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The second notification timing is a timing earlier than the first notification timing (for example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the BB win and the first win before the provision of navistock with the highest degree of advantage). The presence or absence of the CZ game is notified).

  According to such a configuration, after the predetermined condition is established, the presence or absence of the second benefit is notified first prior to the provision of the first benefit having a high degree of advantage. Therefore, after the predetermined condition is established, provisionally. Even if the result that the second benefit is not given is informed, the player can be expected to give the first benefit with high degree of advantage thereafter, and the player's sense of expectation can be maintained.

(4) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (1) to (3),
The first notification means notifies the presence or absence of the provision of the first benefit as the effect result at the first notification timing after executing the first expectation effect for expecting the provision of the first benefit (for example, the presence or absence of AT winning) The notification of is notified after the first effect is executed),
The second notification means notifies the presence or absence of the second benefit as the effect result at the second notification timing after executing the second expectation effect for expecting the provision of the second benefit (for example, the presence or absence of CZ winning) The second notification is performed after the second effect is performed, and the notification of the BB winning or not is notified after the third effect is performed),
The number of games from the start timing of the first expected effect to the first notification timing is larger than the number of games from the start timing of the second expected effect to the first notification timing (for example, the first effect is three games) While the second and third effects are two games).

  According to such a configuration, since the number of games to be expected to the player for the provision of the first benefit having a high degree of advantage is greater than that for the provision of the second benefit, the interest of the game can be improved. .

(5) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (1) to (4),
The second benefit shifts to a state in which the probability that the condition for determining whether or not to grant the first benefit is satisfied is increased, or the probability that the determination means is determined to grant the first benefit is increased. (For example, as shown in FIG. 19, during CZ, the number of AT roles that trigger the execution of the AT lottery is greater than in the non-CZ, and the expectation for the addition of navistock in the AT lottery is High value).

  According to such a configuration, when the second benefit is awarded, it is possible to further make the player expect the award of the first benefit, and hence the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In the slot machine according to any one of (2), (4), and (5) above,
The first notification means notifies the presence or absence of the provision of the first benefit as the effect result at the first notification timing after executing the first expectation effect for expecting the provision of the first benefit (for example, the presence or absence of AT winning) The notification of is notified after the first effect is executed),
The first notification timing is the timing when the predetermined condition is met in the game (for example, as shown in the column of [about notification timing in the modification, notification of the AT winning or not in the game winning the AT combination Is executed),
In the first expected effect, the effect content differs according to the presence / absence of the first benefit (for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the effect content of the first effect changes according to the presence / absence of AT winning).

  According to such a configuration, since the player can be made to pay attention to the provision of the first benefit even during the game in which the predetermined condition is satisfied, the player's expectation is continuously felt in one game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by improving it.

(7) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (3) to (5),
The second notification means notifies the presence or absence of the second benefit as the effect result at the second notification timing after executing the second expectation effect for expecting the provision of the second benefit (for example, the presence or absence of CZ winning) The second notification is performed after the second effect is performed, and the notification of the BB winning or not is notified after the third effect is performed),
The second notification timing is the timing when the predetermined condition is met in the game (for example, as indicated in the column of [about notification timing in the modification, notification of the presence or absence of CZ in the game winning the CZ combination) Is executed, and notification of BB winning or not is executed in a game in which a cherry role or a watermelon role is won),
The contents of the second expected effect differ depending on the presence or absence of the second benefit (for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the contents of the effect of the second effect change according to the presence or absence of CZ winning, and the BB winning The effect contents of the third effect change according to the presence or absence).

  According to such a configuration, since the player can be made to pay attention to the provision of the second benefit even during the game in which the predetermined condition is established, the player's expectation is continuously felt in one game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by improving it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 issues a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a prize determination command, a payout start command, a payout to the sub control unit 91. Multiple types of commands including exit command, gaming state command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command, navigation command, AT win command, and CZ win command Send a command

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The navi command is a command that can specify the corresponding operation procedure described later. The navi command is transmitted when the navi-targeted role described later is won during the AT.

  The AT winning command is a command that can specify the result of the AT lottery. The AT lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to give navistock which is the right to AT control, and is performed by the main control unit 41. When winning in the AT lottery, navistock is granted as the right to AT control. In addition, winning in the AT lottery is also referred to as AT winning. The AT winning command is transmitted when the AT lottery is performed. The sub control unit 91 can specify the execution of the AT lottery and the result of the AT lottery (the result of whether or not the AT was won) by receiving the AT winning command.

  The CZ winning command is a command that can specify the result of the CZ lottery. The CZ (chance zone) is a state in which the execution probability of the AT lottery and the probability of determining to give the navistock in the AT lottery are higher than in a state where the CZ is not controlled. CZ is controlled on the condition that it has a CZ game which is the right to CZ control. Therefore, it can be said that the CZ game, which is the right to CZ control, is an advantageous benefit for the player. Although CZ is in a state in which the probability of giving navistock increases, it does not directly affect the payout rate of medals. For this reason, CZ is less advantageous than AT and BB in which the payout rate is 1 or more. In other words, it can be said that navistock and BB winnings, which are the rights to AT control, are benefits that are more advantageous to the player than CZ games that are the rights to CZ.

  The CZ lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to give a CZ game, and is performed by the main control unit 41. When winning in the CZ lottery, a CZ game is granted as a right to CZ control. In addition, winning in the CZ lottery is also referred to as CZ winning. The CZ winning command is transmitted when a CZ lottery is performed. The sub control unit 91 can specify the execution of the CZ lottery and the result of the CZ lottery (the result of whether or not the CZ is won) by receiving the CZ win command.

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

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

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

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

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

  For example, based on the result of the AT lottery that can be specified from the AT winning command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 draws the first effect of expecting the provision of the navigation stock by asking the presence or absence of the navigation stock. decide. Then, after executing the determined first effect, the sub control unit 91 notifies of the presence or absence of provision of the navigation stock as the effect result.

  Further, based on the result of the CZ lottery that can be identified from the CZ win command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 draws the second effect of causing the CZ game to be expected by asking for the presence or absence of the CZ game. decide. Then, after executing the determined second effect, the sub-control unit 91 notifies of the presence or absence of the CZ game as the effect result.

  Furthermore, based on the result of the internal lottery that can be identified from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 determines the third effect by expecting BB winning by asking whether BB winning is given or not. . Then, after executing the determined third effect, the sub-control unit 91 notifies of the presence or absence of the BB winning as the effect result.

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the game is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, internal one, internal two, and bonus (RB, BB), and the normal gaming state (hereinafter, normal gaming state). Is usually controlled to any one of RT0 to RT4.

  The special part of the winning combinations will be described with reference to FIG. Special roles include six types of bonuses BB1 to BB4, RB1, and RB2. Each special part is awarded when the corresponding symbol combination is complete.

  For example, BB1 wins when the combination of "black 7-black 7-black 7" is complete on the pay line, and is played as a big bonus in which every game is controlled to a regular bonus during BB (hereinafter also referred to as RB during BB) The state transitions.

  The other special roles are also awarded when the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 5 are complete, and the gaming state shifts to a bonus.

  The big bonus generated due to any of the BB1 to BB4 winnings ends on the condition that at least 316 medals have been paid out. Furthermore, the payout rate of medals per game during BB is 1 or more. For this reason, it can be said that the BB winning, which is the right to the BB winning, is an advantageous benefit for the player.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the RAM 41c, an area capable of storing the number of remaining RT games as well as a storage area of the RT flag is allocated for one byte, and the number of remaining games until the RT is completed is stored. In the case of RT0, RT3 and RT4 which do not end with the number of games consumed, 0 is set as the number of remaining RT games.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The BB (RB) transitions when the BB wins inside. The BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the BB (RB) exceeds the specified number regardless of the number of games after the transition to the BB (RB). In BB (RB), special roles and replay players are not eligible for the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than in the normal gaming state and inside 1 and 2 (approximately 1 / 1.00) The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. It should be noted that BB has a payout rate of at least 1 and guarantees payout of 316 or more medals, whereas AT has a payout rate of at least 1 medals and 400 or more Disbursement of medals is guaranteed. For this reason, it can be said that navistock, which is the right to AT control, is a benefit that is more advantageous for the player than BB winning, which is the right to BB control.

  Among RT0 to RT4 in the normal gaming state, RT0, RT2, and RT3 have high probability of winning a replay player, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT4 in that RT1 and RT1. It is more advantageous for the player than RT4. In RT0, RT2 and RT3 in the normal gaming state, the payout rates of medals per game are higher than those in RT1 and RT4. While there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT0 to RT3, in which point RT2 is more advantageous for the player than RT0.

  RT0 and RT4 in the normal gaming state have a low probability of winning a replay player, and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT0, RT2 and RT3 compared to RT0, RT2 and RT3. It is a disadvantage for the player.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  For example, weak watermelons are upper watermelons + right falling watermelons. A strong watermelon is middle-stage watermelon + right falling watermelon. That is, when the middle watermelon is won, it can be recognized that it is a strong watermelon. The weak cherries are the lower cherries alone, and the strong cherries are the lower cherries plus one sheet. In the weak cherries, the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" is derivably controlled in the middle, while in the strong cherries, the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" is releasably controlled in the middle. The player can recognize that the cherry is a strong cherry by stopping the cherry in the lower part of the left reel 2L and aligning the combination of "BAR-BAR-BAR" in the middle. Hereinafter, weak watermelon and strong watermelon are collectively referred to as a watermelon role, and weak cherries, strong cherries, and middle cherries are collectively referred to as a cherry role. Note that, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in the normal RT0 to RT4, any watermelon role and any cherry role can be simultaneously won with any BB.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  For example, when RB bell 1 (upper right bell + upper right ribebe) is won and operated at the first left stop, a combination of up right bells among the winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the middle first stop or the right first stop is operated, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the upward and the downward right hand with the pay line LN.

  With regard to the other RB bells, as shown in FIG. 16, according to the type of the RB bell won and the order of the stop operation, control to align and stop predetermined small winning combinations within the pay-in line of up to 4 pieces on the pay line. Is done.

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

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

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

  For example, when Replay GR1 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is won and operated in the left middle right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the winning Replays is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the operation is performed in an order other than left, middle, right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of normal replay on the pay line LN.

  Also for the other pushing order reps, as shown in FIG. 17, according to the type of pushing order rep and the order of the stop operation, the predetermined re-playing roles are arranged in the draw-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line. Control to stop is performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  With regard to the other push order bells, as shown in FIG. 18, according to the type of push order bells and the order of the stop operation, the predetermined small winning combination is aligned on the pay line within a maximum draw-in range of 4 frames and then stopped. Control is performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Among the pushing order bells, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to right 4 bells in which the middle bell can be won as the leading role are referred to as the first pushing order bell, and the right falling bell can be won as the leading role. The bell 5 to the middle bell 8 and the right bell 5 to the right bell 8 are also referred to as a second pushing order bell.

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

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

  Normally, at RT4, one of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 is won, and a small role is won If it is not possible, the transition outcome will stop, so the transition is made after the end of RB or BB (RB), and in Normal RT4, Medium Bell 1, Medium Bell 2, Medium Bell 5, Medium Bell 6, Right Bell 1 When one of the right bell 2, the right bell 5 and the right bell 6 is won and the small part can not be won, the normal shift is made to RT1.

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

  Normally, replay GR1 to replay GR6 are won in RT1 and the promotion replay is won if the stop order is correct. Therefore, in normal RT1, replay GR1 to replay GR6 are won and correct in the order of suspension. Will shift to

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

  Normally, in the RT0, the replay GR11 to the replay GR16 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the promotion replay is won, and if the answer is incorrect, the fall replay is prized. Further, in normal RT0, the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the special replay is won, and the fall replay is played if it is an incorrect answer. Normally, at RT0, any of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 will be won, and a small role will be won If you can not do this, the transition may stop. For this reason, in the normal RT0, the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the transition to the normal RT2 is made, the replay GR11 to the replay GR16 is won, and the stop order becomes incorrect. When one of bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 is won and a small part can not be won It will usually shift to RT1.

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

  Normally, replays GR31 to GR36 are won in RT2, and SP replay is won when the stop order is correct. Normally, at RT2, one of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5 and right bell 6 is won, and a small role is to be won If you can not do this, the transition may stop. Therefore, in the normal RT2, the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the transition to the normal RT3 is made, and the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1 When one of the right bell 2, the right bell 5 and the right bell 6 is won and the small part can not be won, the transition to the normal RT1 is made.

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

  Normally, the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are won in the normal RT3, and the SP replay or the regular replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. In addition, one of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5 and right bell 6 is normally won in RT3 and a small winning combination is won. The transition may stop if it can not be done. For this reason, in the normal RT3, the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, and the transition to the normal RT2 is made, and the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right If any one of Bell 1, Right Bell 2, Right Bell 5 and Right Bell 6 is won and the small part can not be won, the transition to the normal RT1 will be made.

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

[Display result derived when the first push order bell is won or the second push order bell is hit]
Next, the display result derived at the time of the first pushing order bell winning or the second pushing order bell winning will be described.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, when RT1 and RT4 are compared, the RT4 may not be controlled to RT0, RT2 or RT3 having a higher medal payout rate than RT1 or RT4, while RT1 may be controlled to RT0, RT2 or RT3. Therefore, it can be said that RT1 is a gaming state more advantageous than RT4. When a transition outcome is derived at RT4, the game state is controlled while it is controlled to RT1, but the game state does not change even if the outset is derived (do not shift from RT4 to RT1). Therefore, when the transition outcome is derived at RT4, it is more advantageous for the player than when the outset is derived. Thus, when the transition outcome is derived, depending on the gaming state, there are times when it becomes an advantageous event and an adverse event.

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

  When the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 which is a part in which the transition outcome can not be derived among the pushing order bells is elected, even when the leading role is dropped, the third stop is the assistant role at the draw-in timing. It is possible to derive the outcome. Furthermore, when the timing of the third stop is a timing other than the auxiliary symbol design pull-in timing, the out-of-round number is derived on the pay line LN without deriving the shift number.

  As described above, when the pushing order bell is won, when the player is operated in the corresponding operation procedure according to the winning combination, the main character such as the middle bell and the right falling bell wins, but the operation other than the corresponding operation procedure When operated in the procedure, an auxiliary character such as an upper bell wins a prize, or a dropout number with no medals being paid out is derived. As a result, the player can be motivated to operate in the response operation procedure, and the interest of the game can be improved.

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

  When the winning order push bell is the transition outcome leadable part, even if the secondary role is not won (even if the secondary role is dropped), the transition outcome is not necessarily derived, There are times when a transition outcome is derived and when a transition outcome with a different degree of advantage is derived from when the transition outcome is derived. For example, even if the transition outcome retrievable part is won when controlled by RT0, RT2 and RT3 and the player loses the leading role and the secondary part, the transition outcome which is always disadvantageous for the player (RT0 , RT2 and RT3 which are worse than RT1) are not always derived, and there is a possibility that out-of-order appearances where the gaming state does not change (the gaming state is maintained) may be derived. As a result, when the transition outcome derived part is won during the control of RT0, RT2 and RT3, it is avoided that the gaming state is controlled to the disadvantageous state (that is, RT1) even if the secondary part is missed. Can. Thus, it is possible to give the player a meaning of revival of the loser, and to improve the interest of the game.

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

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

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

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

  After losing the leading role winnings, depending on whether the third stop was performed at the deputy inset symbol timing or at a timing other than the deputy inset timing, the secondary role appearance, transition out, out of position One of the eyes is derived. Therefore, even after losing the leading role, the player can be held with a sense of expectation for the outcome to be derived, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[CZ lottery]
FIG. 19A is a diagram for explaining the CZ lottery table. The main control unit 41 executes the CZ lottery based on the CZ lottery table to determine whether or not to grant the CZ game as the right to the CZ control. The CZ lottery is executed with the game winning the CZ role under the condition that the player has won the predetermined CZ role (which can be said to be the condition that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the CZ role is operated). Be done.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the CZ role includes, for example, cherry roles such as weak cherries, strong cherries and middle cherries, and watermelons such as weak watermelons and strong watermelons. The expected value of the CZ game given in one CZ lottery when each combination is won is 0.66 for weak watermelon, one for weak cherry, and 1.95 for strong watermelon. , 2.29 when the strong cherry is won, and 3.3 when the middle cherry is won.

  In the present embodiment, although an example in which a lottery for determining whether or not to grant a CZ game and a lottery for determining the number of CZ games to be granted are performed in one lottery, the present invention is limited thereto. Absent. For example, in the CZ lottery, a lottery is first performed to determine whether or not to grant a CZ game, and a lottery to determine the number of CZ games to be awarded when it is determined to grant the number of CZ games is performed twice. It may be constituted by a lottery.

[AT lottery]
FIG. 19B is a diagram for explaining the AT lottery table. The main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery based on the AT lottery table to determine whether to give the navistock serving as the right to the AT control. The AT lottery is executed with the game that has won the AT role under the condition that it has won a predetermined AT role (it can be said that the start switch 7 to start the game winning the AT role is operated). Be done.

  As shown in (a) of FIG. 19 (B), the AT roles in non-CZ include, for example, cherry roles such as weak cherries, strong cherries and middle cherries, and watermelons such as weak watermelons and strong watermelons. . Expected value of navistock given in one AT lottery when each part is won is 0.1 at weak watermelon, 0.2 at weak cherry, and 0.5 at strong watermelon. The winning cherry season is 0.59, and the middle cherry winning season is 0.85.

  As shown in (b) of FIG. 19 (B), in addition to cherry roles such as weak cherries, strong cherries and middle cherries, and watermelons such as weak watermelons and strong watermelons, AT roles in CZ In addition, it usually includes a replay and a single role. As described above, when controlled by CZ, the number of AT roles serving as the trigger for execution of the AT lottery is larger than when not controlled by CZ, and the probability of executing the AT lottery is high. As a result, when the CZ game is awarded, the player can be further expected to be given the navistock, so the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, as shown in (b) of FIG. 19 (B), the expected value of navistock given in one AT lottery when each combination is won is 0.35 when weak watermelon is won and weak cherry Winning time is 0.5, strong watermelon winning time is 0.75, strong cherry winning time is 0.88, middle stage cherry winning time is 1.1, normal replay winning time is 0.25, single role winning time is 0 It is .35. As described above, when controlled by CZ, the expected value of giving the navistock in the AT lottery is higher than that when not being controlled by the CZ, and the probability of deciding to give the navistock is high. As a result, when the CZ game is awarded, the player can be further expected to be given the navistock, so the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, an example is described in which a lottery for determining whether or not to give navistock and a lottery for determining the number of navistock to be granted are performed in one lottery, but the present invention is limited thereto. Absent. For example, in the AT lottery, a lottery is first performed to determine whether or not to give navistock, and a lottery to determine the number of navistock to be granted when it is determined to give the navistock number is performed twice, etc. It may be constituted by a lottery.

  As described above, in both the AT role and the CZ role, the cherry and watermelon roles are included. That is, the main control unit 41 sets a condition that one of the cherry roles or one of the watermelon roles is won (it can be said that the condition is that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the corresponding role is operated). At the same time, it is determined whether to give the navistock by the AT lottery, and it is also decided whether to give the CZ game by the CZ lottery.

  Furthermore, in normal RT0 to RT4, any watermelon role and any cherry role can be simultaneously won with BB. That is, the main control unit 41 sets a condition that one of the cherry roles or one of the watermelon roles is won (it can be said that the condition is that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the corresponding role is operated). Whether or not to win the BB by the internal lottery is also determined at the same time as whether or not to give the navigation stock and whether to give the CZ game.

[AT management processing]
When one or more navistock numbers are determined in the AT lottery, the main control unit 41 stores an AT flag indicating that it is an AT and the navistock number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. The main control unit 41 specifies whether or not to control to the AT based on the AT flag of the RAM 41c, and specifies the remaining navistock number. When the AT flag indicating that it is AT is set, one navigation stock number is consumed and can be controlled to AT.

  The main control unit 41 transmits a navigation command capable of specifying the handling operation procedure to the sub control unit 91 when the navigation target combination is won during control of the AT. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the navigation command, the sub-control unit 91 executes navigation effects for notifying of the corresponding operation procedure.

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

  For example, when an AT flag indicating that it is an AT is set, if an AT lottery is performed, the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery is updated. To update to the AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery, for example, the navigation stock number specified according to the AT flag stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is added to the navigation stock number according to the result of the current AT lottery It may be to rewrite the AT flag specifying the number of navi stock, and any method may be used as long as the current AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery can be specified.

  The main control unit 41 performs the AT management process included in the AT control process when the normal RT is 1 to 4 to control the AT based on the AT flag set according to the result of the AT lottery. to manage.

  Specifically, when it is specified from the AT flag that the AT flag is normal, the main control unit 41 controls to AT. That is, when navigation stock remains, control of AT is started. In the period from the normal RT1 to the normal RT0, the navigation stock can be performed under control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navistocks.

  When it is controlled by AT, and when it is controlled to be normal RT0 by winning the promotion replay in normal RT1, or when a predetermined number of games have passed in normal RT0 or normal RT2, the navistock number is increased. The start condition to AT by 1 consumption (subtraction) is satisfied. In this case, the AT is controlled in the high RT state (RT0, RT2, RT3) having a high probability of winning the replay player until the predetermined number of medals (in the present embodiment, 400 or more medals) are paid out. Be done. The high RT state and the state controlled by the AT are also referred to as an ART state. When one navistock number is consumed, the AT flag indicating the navistock number decremented by 1 is updated.

  The main control unit 41 performs an AT management process to control the non-AT when a predetermined number of medals are paid out in the case of ART. At this time, if the navi stock number indicated by the AT flag is 0, the AT flag indicating that it is not an AT is updated. That is, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag when controlling from AT to non-AT is navistock number 0.

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

  On the other hand, if the number of navistocks specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, one navistock number is consumed when the target part of navi presentation is won, and is controlled to AT . Then, the navigation stock number is also 0, and the navigation number is also 0, whereby the AT ends.

  The main control unit 41 performs the AT management process, and when the AT flag is specified from the AT flag, the main control unit 41 selects the navigation target combination according to the game state, and thereby the sub control unit 91 Make a presentation. In the present embodiment, the navigation target combination is a push order bell and a push order lip. For example, as the navigation effect when any of the pushing order bells is won, a corresponding operation procedure for reliably winning the right falling bell and the middle bell is informed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the case where AT lottery and AT management processing are executed only by the main control unit 41, the use capacity is enormous relative to the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side, but as in the present embodiment, in the push order bell By sharing the stop control table used when the leading role is missed in the won game, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity on the side of the main control unit 41 and secure a small storage capacity.

[Expected effect lottery]
In this embodiment, in any of the benefits such as navistock, CZ game, and BB winning, it is determined that a predetermined lottery combination such as a watermelon combination or a cherry combination is won, that is, a game in which a predetermined lottery combination is won. It is determined whether to give the condition that the start switch 7 to be started has been operated. For this reason, when the role of cherry or the role of watermelon is won, there is a possibility that any of AT win, BB win and CZ win. For example, when the cherry or watermelon role is won, the player can be expected to give a navistock, a CZ game, and a BB. Here, if notification of the presence or absence of each benefit has been notified at the same timing, the player can be expected to give benefits according to the notified timing, but after that, the player's I can not sustain my sense of expectation.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is determined when the same predetermined condition is established in any of the respective benefits such as navistock, CZ game, and BB winning, but the provision of each benefit is notified at different timings. Ru. Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, each bonus is executed in a game in which different types of expected effects are different, and then notification of the presence or absence of grant within each different game as an effect result is provided.

  For example, FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining an expectation effect lottery table. The sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect lottery based on the expectation effect lottery table to determine an expectation effect which is expected to give a benefit advantageous to the player. In the expected performance, there is a first effect in which an addition of the navistock by AT lottery is expected to give an expectation of a navistock, and a second effect in which a CZ game is expected to be granted with an addition or absence of a CZ game by a CZ lottery. And the third effect of expecting BB winning in response to BB winning or not by internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (A), there are four types of effects such as A1, B1, C1, and D1 in the first effect for which the provision of navistock is expected. The effect of A1 is the presence or absence of AT winning, that is, the provision of navistock after a character image indicating any probability is randomly displayed between 1% and 25% over three games on the liquid crystal display 51. It is the content to which the presence or absence is notified. For example, a character image showing 5% in the first game is displayed, a character image showing 10% in the second game is displayed, and a character image showing 25% in the third game is displayed, and then the AT is won. Then, while the character image of "AT fixed" is displayed, the character image of "sorry" is displayed or nothing is displayed if the AT is not won.

  Similarly, for the effect of B1, after a character image indicating any probability is randomly displayed between 26% and 50% over three games on the liquid crystal display 51, the presence or absence of AT winning, that is, the navigation It is the contents to which it is informed of the grant existence of stock. The effect of C1 is the presence or absence of AT winning, that is, the provision of navistock after a character image indicating any probability is randomly displayed between 51% and 75% over three games in the liquid crystal display 51. It is the content to which the presence or absence is notified. The effect contents of D1 are as follows: At the liquid crystal display 51, after a character image showing any probability is randomly displayed between 76% and 99% over 3 games, the presence or absence of AT winning, ie, the navigation stock It is the content to which the presence or absence of notification is notified.

  When AT is not selected, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A1 is 70%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of B1 is 15%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of C1 is 10%, the effect content of D1 The probability of being determined is 5%. On the other hand, at the time of AT winning, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A1 is 5%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of B1 is 10%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of C1 is 15%, the effect of D1 The probability determined by content is 70%.

  Thus, after a predetermined lottery combination such as a watermelon combination or a cherry combination is won and an AT lottery is executed, the first effect is executed, and then the presence or absence of the navigation stock is notified as an effect result. Thereby, the player can be expected to give the navistock by the first effect.

  Further, when AT is not won, the probability of being determined in the order of A1, B1, C1, and D1 is high, whereas when AT is elected, the probability of being determined in the order of D1, C1, B1, and A1 is high. Therefore, when a character image (a character image between 76% and 99%) showing a high probability is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 like the effect contents of D1, it shows a low probability like A1. The player can be expected to be given a navistock than when a character image (character image between 1% and 25%) is displayed. As described above, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the character image indicating the probability of being displayed during the first effect and to expect the provision of the navistock.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (B), there are four types of effects such as A2, B2, C2, and D2 in the second effect for which the CZ game is expected to be provided. In the effect of A2, after the image of the battle effect by the character A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over the two games, the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified. For example, in the first game, the effect image in which the character A battles with the enemy character is displayed, and in the second game, the effect image in which the character A wins if the AT is won is displayed and then “AT fixed” is displayed. While the character image is displayed, if the AT is not won, the effect image in which the character A is defeated is displayed, and then the character image of "Sorry" is displayed or nothing is displayed.

  Similarly, the effect of B2 is a content in which an image of battle effect by character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over two games, and then the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified . The effect of C2 is a content in which the liquid crystal display 51 displays the image of battle effect by the character C over two games, and then, the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified. The effect D2 is a content in which the liquid crystal display 51 displays the image of battle effect by the character D over two games, and then, the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified.

  When CZ is not elected, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A2 is 70%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of B2 is 15%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of C2 is 10%, the effect content of D2 The probability of being determined is 5%. On the other hand, at the time of CZ winning, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A2 is 5%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of B2 is 10%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of C2 is 15%, the effect of D2 being The probability determined by content is 70%.

  Thus, after a predetermined lottery combination such as a watermelon combination or a cherry combination is won and a CZ lottery is executed, the second effect is executed, and then the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified as an effect result. Thereby, the player can be expected to give the CZ game by the second effect.

  Further, when CZ is not won, the probability of being determined in the order of A2, B2, C2, and D2 is high, whereas when CZ is elected, the probability of being determined in the order of D2, C2, B2, and A2 is high. Therefore, when an image of battle effect by character D is displayed as in the effect content of D2 in liquid crystal display 51, as in A2, an image of battle effect by character A is displayed, as in A2. It is possible to make the player expect a CZ game to be granted. As described above, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the type of the character displayed during the second effect and to expect the CZ game to be awarded.

  As shown in FIG. 20C, there are four types of effects such as A3, B3, C3 and D3 in the third effect that expects BB winning. The effect of A3 is a content in which the presence or absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to white over two games in the liquid crystal display 51. For example, after changing the blue background image in the initial state from the initial state to the white background image in the first game and maintaining the white background image in the second game, if BB is won, the character image of "BB confirmed" is displayed. While displayed, the character image of "sorry" is displayed or nothing is displayed if BB is not won.

  Similarly, the effect of B3 is a content in which the presence or absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to green over two games in the liquid crystal display device 51. The effect of C3 is a content in which the liquid crystal display device 51 is notified of the presence or absence of BB winning after the background image is changed to yellow over two games. The effect D3 is a content in which the liquid crystal display device 51 is notified that the BB is won or not, after the background image is changed to red over two games.

  When BB is not selected, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A3 is 70%, the probability to be determined to be the effect content of B3 is 15%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of C3 is 10%, and the effect content of D3 The probability of being determined is 5%. On the other hand, when winning BB, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of A3 is 5%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of B3 is 10%, the probability of being determined to be the effect content of C3 is 15%, the effect of D3 The probability determined by content is 70%.

  In this manner, after a predetermined lottery combination such as a watermelon combination or a cherry combination is won and an internal lottery is executed, the third effect is executed, and then the presence or absence of BB won is notified as an effect result. As a result, it is possible to make the player expect BB winning by the third effect.

  Further, when BB is not won, the probability of being determined in the order of A3, B3, C3 and D3 is high, whereas when BB is elected, the probability of being determined in the order of D3, C3, B3 and A3 is high. Therefore, in the liquid crystal display 51, when the background image is changed to red as in the effect content of D3, the player is more likely to BB the player than when the background image is changed to white as in A3. You can expect to win. In this manner, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the color of the background image during the third effect and expect BB winning.

[Information notification timing of benefits]
The notification timing of the benefit will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. As described above, the presence or absence of AT is notified as a result of the first effect, the presence or absence of CZ is notified as a result of the second effect, and the presence or absence of BB is notified as a result of the third effect. . And although an advantage is high in order of a navi stock, BB winning, and a CZ game, each privilege is alert | reported by the timing which each differs according to an advantage, and the notification presence or absence is alert | reported.

(Informing timing of benefit in the first embodiment)
FIG. 21 is a timing chart for explaining the notification timing of the benefit in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, each expectation effect is performed such that the notification timing of the presence or absence of the award comes in the order of the benefits having the highest degree of advantage. FIG. 21 shows an example of a timing chart when the AT is not won in the AT lottery, the BB is not won in the internal lottery, and the CZ is won in the CZ lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 21, first, in the first game, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery when the player operates the start switch 7. In this internal lottery, the winning or non-winning of the winning combination of the AT lottery and the CZ lottery such as the cherry role and the watermelon role is determined, and the winning or non-winning of the BB is determined. When the internal lottery is executed, an internal winning command capable of specifying the result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes the AT lottery and the CZ lottery when any cherry combination or any watermelon combination is won based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. When the AT lottery is executed, an AT winning command capable of specifying the result of the AT lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, and when the CZ lottery is executed, the main control unit 41 A CZ winning command capable of specifying the result of the CZ lottery is transmitted to the sub control unit 91.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives an internal lottery command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect drawing that determines the type of the third effect according to the presence or absence of BB winning. Further, when the sub control unit 91 receives the AT winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect lottery that determines the type of the first effect according to the presence or absence of the AT winning. In addition, when the sub control unit 91 receives the CZ win command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect lottery that determines the type of the second effect according to the presence or absence of the CZ win.

  Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 determines the execution timing of each expectation effect so that the notification timing of the presence or absence of the arrival comes in the order of the navigation stock having high degree of advantage, the BB winning, and the CZ game. In the case of the example of FIG. 21, first, the sub control unit 91 executes the first effect to ask about AT winning or not at the first game to the third game, and liquid crystal displays a character image of "sorry" at the end of the third game. It displays on the unit 51 to notify that AT is not won. Next, the sub-control unit 91 executes the third effect uttering the BB winning or not in the fourth game and the fifth game, and displays a character image of "sorry" on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the fifth game. Report that BB has not been won. Next, the sub control unit 91 executes the second effect for winning or not winning the CZ in the sixth game and the seventh game, and displays an effect image that the character wins at the end of the seventh game, and then “AT decision” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that the CZ has been won.

  As described above, since the timing at which the provision of navistock is notified, the timing at which the provision of BB win is notified, and the timing at which the CZ game is provided are notified, the game is performed over a plurality of timings. The player can be expected, and the player's expectation for the awarding of benefits can be sustained. Furthermore, since the degree of advantage is higher in the order of navistock, BB win, and CZ game, the player pays attention to the timing at which the navistock grant is notified rather than the timing at which the BB win and CZ games are notified. Can be collected, and the interest of the game can be improved in the relationship between the advantage of the benefit and the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant.

  In addition, since the presence or absence of navistock with the highest degree of advantage is notified first before the BB win and CZ games are granted, the cherry and watermelon roles are won, and the cherry and watermelon roles are won. When the player recognizes the player, the player's sense of expectation is continuously improved by causing the player to expect the award of the highest advantageous navistock following the winning of the cherry role and the watermelon role, and the fun of the game Can be improved.

  Also, rather than the third effect that asks for the BB winning or not, and the second effect that asks for the CZ game, from the start timing of the effect to the timing of the notification of the benefit for the first effect for the presence or absence of navigation stock There are a lot of games. For this reason, the number of games which the player is expected to give the navistock having the highest degree of advantage is greater than the BB award and the CZ game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the first effect of asking for the presence or absence of the navistock is executed also in the first game in which the internal lottery, the AT lottery, and the CZ lottery are executed, the player is opposed to the navistock award even in the first game. Can be expected to pay attention to Then, when the player recognizes the winning of the cherry role and the watermelon role by the cherry role and the watermelon role winning, etc., the player's sense of expectation in one game by the first effect executed in the game. Can be continuously improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(Informing timing of the benefit in the second embodiment)
FIG. 22 is a timing chart for explaining the notification timing of the benefit in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, each expectation effect is performed such that the notification timing of the presence or absence of the award comes in the order of the benefits with the lowest degree of advantage. FIG. 22 shows an example of a timing chart when CZ is not won in the CZ lottery, BB is not won in the internal lottery, and AT is won in the AT lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 22, first, in the first game, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery when the player operates the start switch 7. In this internal lottery, the winning or non-winning of the winning combination of the AT lottery and the CZ lottery such as the cherry role and the watermelon role is determined, and the winning or non-winning of the BB is determined. When the internal lottery is executed, an internal winning command capable of specifying the result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes the AT lottery and the CZ lottery when any cherry combination or any watermelon combination is won based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. When the AT lottery is executed, an AT winning command capable of specifying the result of the AT lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, and when the CZ lottery is executed, the main control unit 41 A CZ winning command capable of specifying the result of the CZ lottery is transmitted to the sub control unit 91.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives an internal lottery command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect drawing that determines the type of the third effect according to the presence or absence of BB winning. Further, when the sub control unit 91 receives the AT winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect lottery that determines the type of the first effect according to the presence or absence of the AT winning. In addition, when the sub control unit 91 receives the CZ win command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expectation effect lottery that determines the type of the second effect according to the presence or absence of the CZ win.

  Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 determines the execution timing of each expectation effect so that the notification timing of the presence or absence of the arrival comes in the order of the CZ game having the low degree of advantage, the BB winning, and the navigation stock. In the case of the example of FIG. 22, first, the sub control unit 91 displays the effect image in which the character loses at the end of the second game by executing the second effect for asking the presence or absence of CZ winning in the first game and the second game. The character image of "Sorry" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 above to notify that the CZ has not been won. Next, the sub control unit 91 executes the third effect for asking BB winning or not in the third game and the fourth game, and displays the character image of "sorry" on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the fourth game. Report that BB has not been won. Next, the sub control unit 91 executes the first effect uttering the AT winning or not in the fifth game to the seventh game, and displays the character image of "AT fixed" on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the seventh game. To announce that the AT was won.

  As described above, since the timing at which the provision of navistock is notified, the timing at which the provision of BB win is notified, and the timing at which the CZ game is provided are notified, the game is performed over a plurality of timings. The player can be expected, and the player's expectation for the awarding of benefits can be sustained. Furthermore, since the degree of advantage is higher in the order of navistock, BB win, and CZ game, the player pays attention to the timing at which the navistock grant is notified rather than the timing at which the BB win and CZ games are notified. Can be collected, and the interest of the game can be improved in the relationship between the advantage of the benefit and the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant.

  In addition, since the BB win and CZ games are notified of the presence or absence of the navistock with or without the highest advantage, the cherry and watermelon roles are won, and the cherry and watermelon roles are won. Even if the result of BB non-winning or CZ game not being given is notified after the player recognizes the player, the player can be expected to give the navistock with the highest degree of advantage thereafter, and the player's expectation The sense can be sustained.

  Also, rather than the third effect that asks for the BB winning or not, and the second effect that asks for the CZ game, from the start timing of the effect to the timing of the notification of the benefit for the first effect for the presence or absence of navigation stock There are a lot of games. For this reason, the number of games which the player is expected to give the navistock having the highest degree of advantage is greater than the BB award and the CZ game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the second effect of asking for the presence or absence of the CZ game is executed also in the first game in which the internal lottery, AT lottery, and CZ lottery are executed, the player for the CZ game is given even in the first game Can be expected to pay attention to Then, when the player recognizes the winning of the cherry role and the watermelon role by the cherry role and the watermelon role winning, etc., the player's sense of expectation in one game by the second effect executed in the game. Can be continuously improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

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

[About benefits]
In the present embodiment, as a benefit, the navistock, the CZ game, and the BB win are exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

  For example, any two of the above three types may be used as a benefit. For example, in the case where the cherries and watermelons do not win simultaneously with the BB, when the cherries and watermelons are won, the player is expected to be expected only by giving a navistock and a CZ game. It may be

  Also, with any one of the above three types as a benefit, there may be a plurality of benefits having different degrees of advantage among the one type. For example, if the cherry or watermelon combination is not won simultaneously with BB, and the CZ lottery is not executed even if the cherry or watermelon combination is won, the navistock will be awarded when the cherry or watermelon combination is won. Alternatively, the player may be expected to expect by the expectation effect. Furthermore, when the cherry role and the watermelon role are won, a first AT lottery for determining whether or not the first navigation stock with a high degree of advantage (for example, the navigation stock controlled by AT over 100 games for one consumption) is given or not. Execute a second AT lottery to determine whether or not to grant a second navigation stock (for example, a navigation stock controlled by AT for 50 games in one consumption) having a lower degree of advantage than the first navigation stock, and each lottery The expected effects for notifying the result may be performed at different timings, and the presence or absence of the provision may be notified at different timings between the first navigation stock and the second navigation stock.

  Furthermore, a bonus of more than three types may be provided, and the presence or absence of the award may be determined by lottery when the cherry or watermelon combination is won. For example, not only benefits directly related to the payout rate of medals, but also image data and music data of character images or points that can be exchanged for prizes using a portable terminal etc. are beneficial (advantage) to the player If it is, any privilege may be sufficient.

[About the benefits of benefits]
In the present embodiment, it has been illustrated that the advantages are higher in the order of navistock, BB win, and CZ game, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, if AT has a medal payout rate of 1 or more and ends when 200 or more medals have been paid out, BB winning which becomes the right to BB control is to AT control. The player has an advantage over the entitled Navistock. Further, in this case, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when the expectation effect is performed such that the notification timing of the provision comes in the order of the benefits having the highest degree of advantage, the provision presence or absence of the navigation stock is notified The third effect in which the presence or absence of BB winning with the highest degree of advantage is notified is executed first prior to the second effect in which the presence or absence of the first effect and the CZ game is notified. Furthermore, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when the expectation effect is performed so that the notification timing of the provision presence / absence comes in the order of the benefits having the lower degree of advantage, the BB winning with the highest degree of advantage is provided. The first effect in which the provision of the navigation stock is notified and the second effect in which the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified are executed first before the third effect in which the presence or absence is notified.

  Further, the degree of advantage between the respective benefits is not limited to the direct difference in the number of medals paid out. For example, when the payout number of medals in AT controlled when one navistock is digested is the same as the payout number of medals in BB, it is an internal lottery when the cherry and watermelon roles are won. When BB simultaneously wins, a predetermined number of navistocks may be awarded, or an AT lottery may be executed. In this case, when BB is won, in addition to the payout number of medals in BB, since it can be expected also to grant of navistock, it can be said that BB is an advantage having a higher degree of advantage than navistock. .

[About the predetermined condition]
In the present embodiment, as a common condition in which it is determined whether or not to give the navistock and whether to give the CZ game, it has been exemplified that the cherry and watermelon roles are won. In addition, as a common condition in which it is determined whether or not to give navistock, to give or not to give a CZ game, and to give or not to give BB a prize, a game having a cherry or watermelon role is started. It illustrated that the start switch 7 was operated. However, the predetermined condition is not limited to this.

  For example, the predetermined condition may be winning a winning combination other than the cherry combination or the watermelon combination, or the winning combination of any combination may be a predetermined condition. In addition, the predetermined condition may be that any switch (for example, the third stop by the stop switch, the effect switch 56) is operated. Furthermore, the occurrence of freeze that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period (for example, delay of the reel rotation start timing, the operation of the start switch 7 or the stop switch becomes invalid for a predetermined period), or a predetermined number of games The predetermined condition may be that (for example, 100 games from the end of the previous BB) have been consumed. In addition, a mini game may be executed in parallel with a normal slot game, and a predetermined condition may be established according to the result of the mini game.

[About notification timing]
In the present embodiment, for the three types of benefits, the notification timing of the provision presence / absence comes in the order of the benefits having the highest degree of benefit, and the notification timing of the provision presence / absence comes in the order of the benefits with the low degree of benefit Two embodiments are illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to such notification timings.

  Whether the first benefit with the highest degree of advantage, the second benefit with the lowest degree of advantage, and the third benefit with the degree of advantage between the first and second benefits are granted when the same conditions are met. When is determined, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the following order.

  For example, as in the first embodiment, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of the first benefit, the third benefit, and the second benefit. For example, as in the second embodiment, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in order of the second benefit, the third benefit, and the first benefit. For example, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of the first benefit, the second benefit, and the third benefit. For example, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of the second benefit, the first benefit, and the third benefit. For example, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of the third benefit, the first benefit, and the second benefit. For example, the notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of the third benefit, the second benefit, and the first benefit. Regardless of the number of benefits for which it is determined whether or not to be granted based on the satisfaction of the predetermined condition, the presence or absence of the grant is not notified only at one timing, but is granted at a plurality of notification timings. What is necessary is just to be notified of the presence or absence. In addition, the order of the notification timing may be any, and among the plurality of benefits, there may exist a configuration in which the presence or absence of the notification is notified overlapping with other benefits.

  In addition, the notification timing may be a timing at which the game arrives in a game in which a predetermined condition for determining whether to give a benefit is satisfied. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the first effect may be executed only for the game winning the AT combination, and the presence or absence of AT winning may be notified in the game. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the second effect may be executed only for the game winning the CZ combination, and the presence or absence of the CZ winning may be notified within the game, and the cherry role and the watermelon role may be selected. The third effect may be executed only for the winning game, and BB winning or absence may be notified in the game.

  In the present embodiment, FIG. 21 shows an example of a timing chart in the case where AT is not won in AT lottery, BB is not won in internal lottery, and CZ is won in CZ lottery, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It is also applicable to the timing chart in the case where AT is not won in AT lottery, BB is not won in internal lottery, and CZ is not won in CZ lottery. In this case, at the end of the second effect uttering the presence or absence of the CZ winning, an effect image in which the character is defeated is displayed, and then the character image of “Sorry” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and it is informed that the CZ has not won. Ru.

  In this embodiment, FIG. 22 shows an example of a timing chart in the case where CZ is not won in the CZ lottery, BB is not won in the internal lottery, and AT is won in the AT lottery, but the invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is also applicable to the timing chart when CZ is not won in CZ lottery, BB is not won in internal lottery, and AT is not won in AT lottery. In this case, at the end of the first effect uttering the presence or absence of AT winning, a character image of “Sorry” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that AT winning has not been made.

  When it is notified that the benefit is given by the expected effect performed previously for each expected effect for which each benefit is given, the expected effect performed later is canceled without executing. It is also good. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT is won by the first effect, the subsequent third effect and the second effect may not be executed. Furthermore, when it is notified that AT is not won by the first effect and then it is notified that BB is won by the third effect, the second effect after that may not be executed. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the CZ is won by the second effect, the subsequent third effect and the first effect may not be executed. Furthermore, when it is notified that the CZ was not won by the second effect, and it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect thereafter, the subsequent first effect may not be executed. In addition, the privilege which was scheduled to be notified of the presence or absence by the canceled expected effect may cancel the giving itself or may be notified without the effect, and the predetermined condition in the subsequent games May be awarded when the lottery is held again.

  In addition, with regard to each expectation effect for rewarding each benefit, regardless of whether or not it is notified that the benefit will be provided by the expected effect performed earlier, each expectation effect thereafter is always executed to grant each benefit The presence or absence may be notified by all means. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the AT effect is notified by the first effect, the BB effect is notified by the third effect regardless of whether the AT is elected, and the AT or BB is elected. The presence or absence of CZ may be notified by the second effect regardless of whether or not it has been made. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the presence or absence of CZ is notified by the second effect, the presence or absence of BB is notified by the third effect regardless of whether or not the CZ is elected, and the CZ or BB is elected. Whether or not to win the AT may be notified by the first effect regardless of whether or not it has been made.

  In addition, when it is notified that the benefit is given by the expectation effect performed earlier for each expected effect for winning each benefit, while the control based on the grant of the earlier benefit is being performed, it is subsequently performed. You may perform the expectation presentation which was planned. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT is won by the first effect, the subsequent third effect and the second effect are executed while being controlled by the AT. It may be one. Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, the subsequent second effect may be executed while being controlled by the BB. Further, in the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the CZ has been won by the second effect, the subsequent third effect and the first effect are executed while being controlled by the CZ. It may be one. Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, the subsequent first effect may be executed while being controlled by the BB.

  In addition, when it is notified that the benefit is given by the expectation effect performed earlier for each expected effect that wins each benefit, it is scheduled to be performed after the control based on the grant of the previous benefit is finished. The expected effect may be executed. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT is won by the first effect, the third effect and the second effect are subsequently executed after the AT is finished. May be Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, the second effect after that may be executed after the BB ends. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the CZ is won by the second effect, the third effect and the first effect are executed after the CZ ends. May be Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, the first effect after that may be executed after the BB ends. In addition, after the control based on the grant of the previous privilege is over, the provision presence or absence of the privilege notified by the expectation rendering which is scheduled to be performed thereafter is suddenly notified without the expectation rendering. Good. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, a lamp capable of specifying that the CZ is won without the second effect after the BB is completed. May be lighted to notify that the CZ has been won. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, a lamp capable of specifying that the AT is won without the first effect after the BB is completed. May be lighted to notify that AT has been won.

[About Expected Performance]
In the present embodiment, the expectation effect shown in FIG. 20 is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the contents of the expectation effect may be other contents. For example, in the case where the predetermined condition for determining whether a benefit is given is freeze, the expected effect may be performed according to the time when the progress of the game is delayed due to the freeze or the operation mode of the reel during the freeze. For example, when freeze is executed, an AT lottery may be executed, and if AT is won, the freeze period may be extended, and if AT is not win, the freeze period may be shortened. Further, when freeze is executed, AT lottery may be executed, and if AT is won, the reel may be reversely rotated during the freeze, and if AT is not win, the reel may be stopped during the freeze.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first effect for expecting the provision of the navistock is 3 games, the second effect for expecting the award of the CZ game and the third effect for expecting BB win are executed over 2 games. It was a thing. However, the number of executed games for each expected effect is not limited to this, and may be the number of other games. In addition, it is preferable that the expectation effect for expecting the award of the privilege with the highest degree of advantage is larger in the number of games than the expectation effect for expecting the award of other benefits. In other words, if the number of games for which the player is expected to give the highest benefit is greater than the number of games for which the other benefits are expected to be provided, the player's sense of expectation is improved and the interest of the game is improved. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the expected effect is executed over a plurality of games, but may be executed within a predetermined period of time such as one game. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the first effect of causing the provision of navistock to be expected in the period from when the start switch 7 is operated to the first stop and the second stop is executed. A second effect may be performed which is expected to be awarded BB winning in a period from the stop to the third stop. Further, in the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the second effect of expecting the BB winning to be granted is executed in the period from when the start switch 7 is operated to the first stop and the second stop. A first effect may be performed which allows the provision of navistock to be expected in a period from the stop to the third stop. In addition, as for the expectation production which expects the grant of the privilege with the highest degree of advantage, it is preferable that the execution period of the production is longer than the expectation production which expects the grant of other benefits. That is, if the period in which the player is expected to give the highest benefit is longer than the period in which the other benefits are expected, the player's sense of expectation is improved and the interest of the game is improved. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the start timings of the respective expected effects are different from one another, and the respective expected effects are not overlapped, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It may be the same, or any of the expected effects may overlap with other expected effects. The provision or absence of each benefit may be notified at different timings.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, different expectation effects are performed for each benefit such as navistock, BB winning, and CZ game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for a plurality of benefits in one expectation effect. The result of the presence or absence of grant may be notified. Also in this case, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may come in the order of benefits with high degree of advantage, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. The notification timing of the presence or absence of the grant may come in the order of benefits with the lowest degree.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[About control concerning AT]
In the present embodiment, an example in which the main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery is described, but the sub control unit 91 may execute the AT lottery. For example, the sub control unit 91 may execute the AT lottery based on the result of the internal lottery that can be identified from the internal lottery command received from the main control unit 41, when the AT combination is won.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the AT control processing is also executed by the main control unit 41, but may be executed by the sub control unit 91. For example, the sub control unit 91 specifies the presence or absence of the navistock based on the AT winning command, and stores the AT flag indicating the AT and the navistock number in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the result. May be Then, the sub control unit 91 controls the AT when the AT flag is set, and executes the navigation effect when specifying the winning of the navigation target combination from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. It may be

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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