  Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the slot machine 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This figure shows a circuit block diagram of the control unit.

  The control unit of the slot machine 100 can be broadly divided into main effects according to a main control unit 300 that controls the progress of the game and a command signal (hereinafter simply referred to as “command”) transmitted by the main control unit 300. And a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on a command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400. Here, with respect to the main control unit 300, if the data capacity is increased, it becomes difficult to confirm the program, and there is a problem of security deterioration such as a hotbed of unauthorized modification. And the data capacity of the RAM 308 are limited. The main control unit 300 corresponds to an example of the game control unit of the present invention, and the first sub-control unit 400 corresponds to an example of the effect control unit of the present invention.

<Main control unit>
First, the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used in the internal lottery of a winning combination, and reel symbols. ROM 306 storing the arrangement and stop position, RAM 308 for temporarily storing data, I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, and counter timer 312 for measuring time and frequency WDT (Watch Dog Timer) 314 is mounted. Note that other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency division data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312. The counter timer 312 sets the interrupt time based on the received frequency division data. An interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at every interrupt time. In response to this interrupt request, the CPU 304 monitors each sensor and transmits a drive pulse. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the data for frequency division of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256 × 47 ÷ 8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

  The main control unit 300 includes a random number generation circuit 316 that is used as a hardware random number counter that changes a numerical value in a range of 0 to 65535 based on a clock signal input from the crystal oscillator 315a, and an activation signal when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 includes a start signal output circuit 338 that outputs a (reset signal), and when the start signal is input from the start signal output circuit 338, the CPU 304 starts game control (main control unit main processing described later). Start).

  Further, the main control unit 300 includes a sensor circuit 320, and the CPU 304 inserts various sensors 318 (a bet button 130 sensor, a bet button 131 sensor, a bet button 132 sensor, and a medal insertion slot 141 every interruption time). Medal acceptance sensor, start lever 135 sensor, left stop button 137 sensor, middle stop button 138 sensor, right stop button 139 sensor, checkout button 134 sensor, medal payout sensor for medals paid out from the medal payout device 180, left reel 110 The optical sensor of the middle reel 111, the optical sensor of the right reel 112, etc.).

  When the sensor circuit 320 detects the H level of the start lever sensor, a signal indicating this detection is output to the random number generation circuit 316. Receiving this signal, the random number generation circuit 316 latches the value at that timing and stores it in a register that stores the random value used for the lottery.

  Two medal acceptance sensors are installed in the internal passage of the medal insertion slot 141 and detect whether or not a medal has passed. Two start lever 135 sensors are installed inside the start lever 135 and detect a start operation by the player.

<Pattern arrangement>
Next, the symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the same figure is a figure which expand | deploys and shows the arrangement | sequence of the symbol given to each reel (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) planarly.

  In each reel 110 to 112, a plurality of types (eight types in this embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the figure are arranged in a predetermined number of frames (21 frames of numbers 0 to 20 in this embodiment). Also, numbers 0 to 20 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, “watermelon symbol” is assigned to the frame number 19 on the left reel 110, “bell symbol” is assigned to the frame number 20 on the middle reel 111, and “seven 1” is assigned to the frame number 18 on the right reel 112. The “design” is arranged.

  The slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment stops the corresponding reels 110 to 112 within the maximum pull-in range (less than 5 frames in this embodiment) from the position where the stop operation is performed in order to improve the fun of the game. It is configured.

<Type of winning prize>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing the types of winning combinations (including actuating combinations), symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and payout of each winning combination.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include special combinations 1 to 3, replay combinations 1 to 11, and small combinations 1 to 23. The types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special combinations 1 to 3 are transitions to a state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player (BB operation state and RB operation state described later, see remarks column in FIG. 6). is there. In addition, the re-games 1 to 11 are roles that enable re-games without newly inserting medals. These special combinations 1 to 3 and replay combinations 1 to 11 may be referred to as “acting combinations”. In addition, “winning” in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of an operating combination that does not accompany a medal payout (and does not accompany a medal payout) is displayed on the active line. 3. Includes winnings of re-game players 1-11. Special roles 1 to 3 are special roles that are carried over to the next game if they are not determined to win, and other roles are not carried over to the next game if they are not determined to win. It is a role.

  Special combinations 1 and 2 are combinations (operating combinations) that shift to the BB operating state (RT6) by winning. However, medals will not be paid out for winning this role. In the corresponding symbol combination, the special combination 1 is “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1” and the special combination 2 is “Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2”. In the following description, special combination 1 may be referred to as “BB1”, special combination 2 may be referred to as “BB2”, and special combination 1 and special combination 2 may be collectively referred to as “BB”.

  The special combination 3 is a combination (operating combination) that shifts to the RB operation state (RT4) by winning. However, medals will not be paid out for winning this role. The corresponding symbol combination is “Seven 1-Seven 1-BAR”. In the following description, special role 3 may be referred to as “RB”.

  When the special combination 1 to 3 is won internally, the internal winning flag corresponding to the special combination won is stored (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flags corresponding to the special roles 1 and 2 are set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the BB winning state (RT5), and the flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. If so, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the RB winning state (RT3). These flags are kept on until the corresponding operating combination is won, and it becomes easy to win these operating combinations in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, even if the game won in special roles 1 to 3 does not win those roles, it will be in the same state as the state where the special winnings 1 to 3 are won internally in the next game and the corresponding combination of symbols. Will be easy to win. The BB winning state and the RB winning state will be described later.

  In addition, when special roles 1 to 3 are internally won by overlapping with other replaying roles or small roles, or in the case of internal winning for other roles in the internal winning state, this other role is configured. The reel stop control is executed so that the symbols are preferentially aligned.

  The main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the BB operation state (RT6) based on the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 and 2 being displayed. Further, in this BB operation state, a payout exceeding a predetermined number (300 when special prize 1 is triggered, 200 when special prize 2 is triggered, see remarks column in FIG. 6) is paid out. Then, the game state is shifted to RT (RT7) after bonus. The post-bonus RT will be described later.

  The main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the RB operation state (RT4) based on the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 3 being displayed. Further, in this RB operation state, when a payout exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 105) is made, the game state is shifted to post-bonus RT (RT7).

  The re-game players 1 to 11 are winning combinations (acting players) that can play a game without inserting medals (game media) in the next game by winning, and no medals are paid out. As for the corresponding symbol combinations, the replaying role 1 is “replay-replay-replay”, the replaying role 2 is “bell-replay-bell”, and the replaying role 3 is “replay-replay-cherry”. The replaying role 4 is “Replay-Replay-Seven 1”, the replaying role 5 is “Replay-Replay-Seven 2”, and the replaying role 6 is “Replay-Replay-Bell”. Replayer 7 is “Replay-Replay-Watermelon”, Replayer 8 is “Bell-Replay-Seven 1”, Re-player 9 is “Bell-Replay-Seven 2”, 10 is “bell-replay-cherry”, and the re-playing player 11 is “replay-bell-bell”. Of the above-mentioned replaying roles, replaying roles 1 and 2 are “normal replay”, replaying roles 3 to 5 are “promotional replay”, replaying role 6 is “falling replay 1”, and replaying role 7 is “ The “falling replay 2”, the replaying players 8 to 10 may be referred to as “falling replay 3”, the replaying role 11 may be referred to as “chance replay”, and the replaying roles 6 to 10 may be collectively referred to as “falling replay”. . Further, when a re-game combination 3-5 is won, the game shifts to a re-game high probability state (RT2), which will be described later, and when a re-play game combination 6-10 is won, a normal state (RT 0), which will be described later, is transferred.

  The re-players 1 to 11 may be any combination that allows the player to play the next game without inserting medals. Therefore, for example, when a replay is won, the medal insertion may be automatically inserted in the next game (the medal insertion number is reset in a medal insertion number storage area to be described later), or the game won the replay. The medal inserted in can be used as it is in the next game.

  The small combinations 1 to 23 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. Corresponding symbol combinations are: small part 1 is “BAR-replay-replay”, small part 2 is “BAR-replay-seven 1”, small part 3 is “BAR-replay-seven 2”, Small part 4 is “BAR-Replay-Cherry”, Small part 5 is “BAR-Cherry-BAR”, Small part 6 is “BAR-Cherry-Watermelon”, and Small part 7 is “BAR-Replay”. -Bell ", small role 8 is" cherry-cherry-cherry ", small role 9 is" cherry-cherry-watermelon ", small role 10 is" cherry-watermelon-bell ", small role 11 is “Bell-Watermelon-Cherry”, Small role 12 is “Replay-Watermelon-Seven 1”, Small role 13 is “Replay-Watermelon-Seven 2”, and Small role 14 is “Replay-BAR”. -Seven 1 " The role 15 is “Replay-BAR-Seven 2”, the small role 16 is “Blank 1-BAR-Seven 1”, the small role 17 is “Blank 1-BAR-Seven 2”, and the small role 18 is “Blank 1—Watermelon-Seven 1”, small part 19 is “Blank 1—Watermelon—Seven 2”, small part 20 is “Blank 1—Seven 1—Cherry”, and small part 21 is “Blank” 1-Seven 2-Cherry ”, the small role 22 is“ Blank 1-BAR-Cherry ”, and the small role 23 is“ Bell-Bell-Bell ”. Further, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

  Of the above small roles, small role 1 is “weak cherry”, small roles 2 to 4 are “strong cherry”, small roles 5 to 7 are “confirmed cherries”, small roles 8 to 10 are “middle cherries”, The small combination 11 may be referred to as “watermelon”, the small combinations 12 to 22 may be referred to as “one-piece combination”, and the small combination 23 may be referred to as “bell”. Further, when winning a small combination 12-22, the state shifts to a preparation state (RT1) to be described later. The small combination 23 is a combination for winning a prize regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation sequence) when the internal winning is made.

<Type of internal winning role>
Next, the types of internal winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams showing types and names of internal winning combinations.

  FIGS. 8 and 9 show 34 types of internal winning combinations (conditional device numbers 1 to 34) in which the combinations described in FIGS. 6 and 7 are combined. The winning combination in the game is one of the roles corresponding to the internal winning combination. These internal winning combinations are determined by lottery at the time of game start operation.

  Conditional device numbers 1 to 16 are all internal winning combinations that include special combinations. Of these, the condition device numbers 1, 8, and 13 are internal winning combinations in which the special combination is won independently and there is no overlap with other combinations. When these winnings are won internally, it becomes possible to win the corresponding special role (switching to RB operating state (RT4) or BB operating state (RT6)), but if no winning is made, RB winning state (RT3) or shift to the BB hit state (RT5). In this case, it is possible to win special combinations 1 to 3 unless another winning combination is won internally in the next and subsequent games.

  On the other hand, condition device numbers 2 to 7, 9 to 12, and 14 to 16 are internal winning combinations in which a special combination and other combinations overlap and win internally. In the present embodiment, the small combination and the re-playing combination are configured to stop with priority over the special combination. For this reason, in a game in which a special combination and another combination are won internally, there is a possibility that the other combination may win (in the case of a re-playing combination, it will be won), but the special combination is not won. In addition, it shifts from the next game to the RB winning state (RT3) or the BB winning state (RT5), and it will be in a state where it is possible to win a special role unless another winning is internally won in the next game. .

  In the RB winning state (RT3) or BB winning state (RT5), if an internal winning combination is determined, any of the internal winning combinations will be given priority and will be stopped. Don't win. When the internal winning combination here includes a special combination (conditional device numbers 1 to 16), a flag is not newly set for the special combination, and it is treated as a substantial deviation. For internal winning combinations (condition device numbers 2 to 7, 9 to 12, and 14 to 16) in which the special combination overlaps with other combinations, the internal winning combination for other combinations excluding the special combination is handled (see below). The same applies to the case of referring to the table 14), and other combinations can be stopped. For example, if condition device number 3 is won internally, condition device number 26 is treated as an internal winner. In addition, when there is no internal winning combination (in the case of losing), or when internal winning is performed for the condition device numbers 1, 8, and 13, it is possible to stop the special combination symbol.

  Condition device numbers 17 to 25 are internal winning combinations constituted by re-game players. Among these, when internal winning is performed for the condition device numbers 19 to 24, RT described later may be changed. First, in the condition device numbers 19 to 21, the operation conditions (here, the pressing order, the correct answer pressing order) for winning the promoted replay (re-game players 3 to 5) are determined. If the stop operation in the case of internal winning in the condition device numbers 19 to 21 matches the correct pushing order of each correct answer, it will win the promotion replay (replaying players 3 to 5) and move to the replaying high probability state (RT2) To do. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the correct pressing order, the normal replay (replaying game 1 or replaying game 2) is won, but RT does not shift. Next, in the condition device numbers 22 to 24, operation conditions (here, pressing order, hereinafter referred to as correct pressing order) for avoiding winning of the fall replay (replaying players 6 to 10) are determined. When the stop operation in the case of internal winning for the condition device numbers 22 to 24 matches the pushing order of the correct answers, the player wins the normal replay (replaying game 1 or replaying game 2), and RT does not shift. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the correct pressing order, the player falls into the fall replay (re-gamer 6 to 10) and shifts to the normal state (RT0). In the following description, the condition device numbers 19 to 24 may be collectively referred to as push order replay.

  Condition device numbers 26 to 34 are internal winning combinations constituted by small combinations. Among these, the condition device numbers 29 to 31 each have an operating condition (here, pressing order, hereinafter, correct answer pressing order) for winning the bell (small role 23). In the following description, the condition device numbers 29 to 31 may be collectively referred to as push order bells. In the case where these condition apparatus numbers 29 to 31 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the order of pushing the correct answers, the player wins a bell (small part 23). On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the correct pressing order, the single winning combination (small roles 12 to 22) other than the bell (small role 23) is preferentially stopped and further put into the ready state (RT1). Transition. In the above configuration, there is a case where the stop operation does not match the correct answer pressing order. However, there is a case where the stop operation does not match the correct answer pressing order, for example, the single winning combination always wins. It may be configured to always win a certain role. Further, in this embodiment, the condition when the condition device numbers 29 to 31 are internally won and the bell (small role 23) is not won (hereinafter referred to as the bell spilled eye, in this case, the single role (small role 12 to 22)) The transition to the preparation state (RT1) is triggered by the transition to the preparation state (RT1). It may be.

<Type of game state (RT)>
Next, the types of game states of the slot machine 100 and their transition will be described. FIG. 10 is a game state transition diagram of the slot machine 100.

  In the slot machine 100, there are a plurality of types having different advantages such as normal state, preparation state, replay high probability state, RB winning state, RB operating state, BB winning state, BB operating state, and RT after bonus. It is configured to be able to switch states, and the degree of advantage is changed by the transition of these states, and the interest of the game is improved. In the following description, this game state may be referred to as RT, and the above-described normal state, preparation state, replay high probability state, RB in-between state, RB in-between state, BB in-between state, BB operation The state and post-bonus RT may be referred to as RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, RT5, RT6, RT7, respectively. In addition, when these RTs are switched, the corresponding lottery table is changed (described later). The RT is controlled by the main control unit 300.

  FIG. 10 shows the RTs described above, and the transition conditions are indicated on the arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is established, RT transitions in the direction of the arrow. These transition conditions include, for example, winning a predetermined combination, internal winning of a predetermined combination, stopping a specific symbol combination on a specific winning line, and having played a specified number of games. , And a predetermined number of payouts.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a lottery table of internal winning combinations when the setting value is 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a lottery table of internal winning combinations in the case of the set value 6. Moreover, FIG. 13 is a figure which shows the sum total of the lottery probability of the re-game player for every RT.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, an internal winning combination excluding a re-game (except for the case where the game state is RT4, RT6 (may be referred to as staying)) (for example, In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the lottery values for the condition device numbers 3, 12, 26, and 28) differ depending on the set values (in the present embodiment, 1 to 6 can be set). When the game state is RT4 or RT6, the lottery value for the internal winning combination becomes a common lottery value regardless of the set value. As shown in FIG. 13, the re-game players have different sums of lottery values for each RT, but there is no difference in lottery values depending on setting values.

  In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the condition device numbers of the internal winning combinations (condition devices) are shown on the vertical axis, and the lottery values (the size of the lottery data range) corresponding to RT for these internal winning combinations. It is shown on the horizontal axis.

  In RT described below, the internal winning probability of the combination is obtained from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 using numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each combination as a random value acquired at the time of the internal lottery. It is obtained by a value divided by numerical data of the range (for example, 65536). For example, in the normal state (RT0), the lottery value of the common bell (small part 23) of the condition device number 32 is 5000 in any of the settings 1 to 6, and the winning probability (RT0) of the common bell in the normal state is 5000 / 65536≈7.63%.

  About the difference of said internal winning probability, there exists a tendency for an advantage to become high, so that a setting value becomes high. More specifically, the payout rate of setting 1 to setting 3 (expected value of the number of medals to be paid out per game ÷ number of medals used per game × 100) is less than 100%, and setting 4 to setting 6 The payout rate is over 100%. That is, the settings 4 to 6 are set values that are advantageous for the player.

  The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each combination and lose is associated with each numerical range. It is determined whether the random number value obtained as a result of the internal lottery is a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination (internal winning combination) is determined. Note that a game shop clerk or the like can arbitrarily set and set any one of the set values.

  Hereinafter, each RT will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<RT0 (normal state)>
RT0 has the lowest internal winning probability of the re-gamer among RT0 to RT3, RT5, and RT7 and is the most disadvantageous for the player.

  There are condition device numbers 1 to 17 and 25 to 32 for the internal winning combination in RT0. If the winning combination is not achieved, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. The fact that the symbol combination related to winning in the winning line is not stopped may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, there is a case where “having won a win” is expressed as not winning a role.

  FIG. 10 shows that when the bell spills with RT0 set, the routine proceeds to RT1, transitions to RT4 when winning RB, and transitions to RT6 when winning BB1 and BB2. Further, it is shown that if the game won in the RB is not won in the game won, the process goes to RT3, and if the game won in the BB1, BB2 is not won, the process goes to RT5.

<RT1 (preparation state)>
RT1 is RT having the lowest internal winning probability of the re-gamer next to RT0 among RT0 to RT3, RT5, and RT7.

  There are condition device numbers 1 to 17, 19 to 21, 25 to 32 for the winning combination in RT1.

  In FIG. 10, when RT1 is set, the game proceeds to RT2 when winning a promotion replay (replaying players 3 to 5), shifts to RT4 when winning RB, and shifts to RT6 when winning BB1 and BB2. It has been shown. Further, it is shown that if the game won in the RB is not won in the game won, the process goes to RT3, and if the game won in the BB1, BB2 is not won, the process goes to RT5.

<RT2 (high probability state of replay)>
RT2 is a more advantageous RT than RT0 or RT1 because it has a higher probability of winning a re-game than RT0 or RT1.

  There are condition device numbers 1 to 18 and 22 to 32 for the internal winning combination in RT2.

  In FIG. 10, when RT2 is set and the bell spills, the process proceeds to RT1, transitions to RT0 when winning the fall replay (replaying players 6-10), transitioning to RT4 when winning RB, It is shown that when BB1 and BB2 are won, the process shifts to RT6. Further, it is shown that if the game won in the RB is not won in the game won, the process goes to RT3, and if the game won in the BB1, BB2 is not won, the process goes to RT5.

<RT3 (RB internal status)>
RT3 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. This RT3 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to transition to RT4 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning the re-gamer than RT0.

  There are condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34 for the internal winning combination in RT3. Actually, the condition device numbers 1 to 16 may be selected, but the condition device numbers 17 and 25 to 34 are replaced with the condition device numbers corresponding to those excluding BB1, BB2, and RB. Will be selected. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the values of the lottery values considering this are shown. When the winning combination is not won in RT3 (in the case of a loss), the player can display a symbol combination corresponding to the RB by performing a stop operation at a predetermined timing.

  FIG. 10 shows that when the RB is won at RT3 (when the symbol combination corresponding to RB is displayed), the process shifts to RT4.

<RT4 (RB operation state)>
RT4 is an advantageous RT that has a higher internal winning probability of the common bell (small role 23) than other RTs except RT6 and makes it easy to obtain medals.

  Only the conditional device number 32 is the winning combination in RT4. The common bell that is internally won by the condition device number 32 is a role for winning the bell regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is made.

  FIG. 10 shows that in RT4, when the payout exceeds the specified number (105 sheets, see the remarks column in FIG. 6), the process proceeds to RT7.

  In the present embodiment, RT4 ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed, but for example, it ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). ) Times, or when a predetermined number of games (for example, 6 times) have been played.

<RT5 (BB internal status)>
RT5 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to either BB1 or BB2 is set to ON. This RT5 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to shift to RT6 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning the re-gamer than RT0.

  There are condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34 for the winning combination in RT5. Actually, the condition device numbers 1 to 16 may be selected, but the condition device numbers 17 and 25 to 34 are replaced with the condition device numbers corresponding to those excluding BB1, BB2, and RB. Will be selected. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the values of the lottery values considering this are shown. In addition, when the winning combination is not won in RT5 (in the case of a loss), the player performs a stop operation at a predetermined timing, so that it corresponds to BB1 or BB2 corresponding to the internal winning flag set to ON. The symbol combination can be displayed.

  FIG. 10 shows that when RT5 wins either BB1 or BB2 (when a symbol combination corresponding to either BB1 or BB2 is displayed), the process proceeds to RT6.

<RT6 (BB operating state)>
RT6 is an advantageous RT that has a higher internal winning probability of the common bell (small role 23) than other RTs except RT4, and facilitates the acquisition of medals. Further, it is the most advantageous RT because it continues until more payout is made than RT4.

  Only the conditional device number 32 is the winning combination in RT5. The common bell that is internally won by the condition device number 32 is a role for winning the bell regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is made.

  FIG. 10 shows that in RT6, when the payout exceeds the specified number, the process proceeds to RT7. The prescribed number is 300 when winning BB1 and shifting to RT6, and 200 when winning BB2 and shifting to RT6.

  In this embodiment, the RT 6 ends when a specified number of payouts are executed. For example, the RT 6 ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). ) Times, or when a predetermined number of games (for example, 6 times) have been played.

<RT7 (RT after bonus)>
RT7 is more advantageous than RT0 and RT1 because it has a higher probability of winning a re-game than RT0 and RT1.

  In the winning combination in RT7, there are condition device numbers 1-17, 25-32.

  In FIG. 10, when RT7 is set and the bell is spilled, the process shifts to RT1, when 15 games are completed, the process shifts to RT0, when RB is won, the process shifts to RT4, and BB1 and BB2 are won. Transition to RT6 is shown. Further, it is shown that if the game won in the RB is not won in the game won, the process goes to RT3, and if the game won in the BB1, BB2 is not won, the process goes to RT5.

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the game state is managed separately into the state A and the state B separately from the above-described RT. Among these, in the state B, the notification of the stop operation order for the internal winning combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as operation navigation) is allowed, and in the state A, this operation navigation is not displayed. However, in the state B, the operation navigation is not always displayed when the push order replay or the push order bell is won internally, and the operation navigation may not be displayed depending on conditions.

  In this embodiment, a lottery for transition to state B (see FIG. 17) is executed based on the winning combination, and as a result, in a precursor, CZ (chance zone), AR preparation state, and AR (assist replay) to be described later It is configured to be in state B. The state B ends when these periods end. However, when the push order bell operation navigation is not performed in the state B, the state B is continued until the push order bell operation navigation is performed. Has been. Further, in order to prevent the state B from continuing to burn for a long time, the state B is configured to be in the state A when the state B continues for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games). ing.

  Note that state B may occur even during a bonus hit and during a bonus operation (RT3 to 6) (for example, when having an AR right number). However, since the operation navigation is not displayed without internally winning the push order replay and the push order bell during the bonus operation, the state A may be set during the bonus operation. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and it may be configured such that a push order replay or a push order bell is internally won during a bonus operation and an operation navigation is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, these states are distinguished using a state B flag. If the state B flag is off, state A is indicated, and if the state B flag is on, state B is indicated.

<AR state>
Next, the AR state will be described. Hereinafter, the AR state may be simply referred to as AR.

  In AR, when the internal selection is made for the push order replay and the push order bell (condition device numbers 19 to 24, 29 to 31), an operation navigation indicating the correct answer push order is displayed. However, during the period from when AR is set until the transition to RT2 (AR preparation flag on), an operation indicating the correct pressing order when winning the promotion replay (when internal winning is performed for operation condition numbers 19 to 21) The navigation is displayed, and the operation navigation is not displayed even if the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally. In the following description, a period from when this AR is set to when the AR temporarily shifts to RT2 may be referred to as an AR ready state. In RT0 or RT7, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally. The operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, but may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as “Aim for ...”, or the pressing order and timing. Both of them may be shown. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push order bell may be referred to as a bell operation navigation.

  In the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, an AR lottery is performed in the lottery when the state A is shifted to the state B, and when this is won, the AR right number is added. If the number of AR rights is not 0, the AR starts after a precursor or CZ. Also, even if the AR lottery at the time of transition to state B is not won, the number of AR rights may be added before the sign or CZ ends. Start. If the number of AR rights is not 0 at the end of the sign or CZ (the number of remaining sign games is 0), the number of AR rights is decremented by 1, and a predetermined number of games (for example, 50) is set as the number of remaining AR games. AR starts (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

  In the present embodiment, the number of remaining AR games is subtracted as the game progresses. However, the AR remaining game number is not subtracted in the AR preparation state. Then, when the number of remaining AR games becomes 0, if the number of AR rights is greater than 0, a predetermined value (for example, 50) is set again for the number of remaining AR games. Transition to the state A (initializes parameters related to the state B), and the AR ends. If the bonus operation is in progress (RT4, RT6) in the middle of AR, the subtraction of the AR remaining game number is stopped, and the subtraction is resumed at RT7.

  Note that the AR is not limited to the configuration using the number of AR rights and the number of remaining AR games, and the AR may be started and ended according to a predetermined condition (for example, when a specific gaming state is entered).

<Precursor state and CZ state>
Next, the precursor state and the CZ state will be described. Hereinafter, the precursor state may be simply referred to as a precursor, and the CZ state may be simply referred to as CZ.

  In the warning sign and CZ, when the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally, a bell operation navigation indicating the pressing order of the corresponding correct answer is displayed. However, this bell operation navigation is not displayed at RT0 or RT7. Further, in the precursor state, the bell operation navigation is not displayed until the number of operation navigation suppression games set at the time of transition to state B elapses. Further, the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed through the precursor and the CZ is limited to a certain number (1 in this embodiment), and the bell operation navigation is not displayed beyond this number. The bell operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as “Aim at ...”. It may indicate both timings. Moreover, although the structure which does not display the operation navigation of push order replay is employ | adopted in the sign and CZ, it is good also as a structure which displays also about this operation navigation.

  In this embodiment, when the lottery for transition to state B (see FIG. 17) is won, a precursor starts from the next game. This period that is a precursor is set at the time of the lottery for transition to the state B (see FIG. 14B). In addition, the lottery of the number of CZ games is performed at the time of the transition lottery to the state B, and when this is won, the CZ starts after the sign. If there is an AR right number at the end of these precursors and CZ, AR starts.

  In the precursor and CZ, an AR lottery may be performed according to the winning combination in the inside (step S1205 in FIG. 18). In this lottery, the same FIG. 14A as in the state B transition is used. After the state B, since the AR lottery is not won unless the state B is entered, the actual AR right acquisition probability is lower than the probability shown in FIG. However, in the precursor and CZ, the number of AR rights is added with the probability shown in FIG. Furthermore, AR lottery (FIG. 14 (c)) is separately executed for CZ added when the operation navigation is not displayed.

  In the present embodiment, if the lottery for the transition to the state B does not win the lottery for the number of CZ games and the bell operation navigation is not displayed before the end of the warning sign, the number of CZ games is obtained and CZ is started. (FIG. 23). Further, in this case, a lottery of the number of AR rights is also executed, and the number of AR rights may be added.

  Further, when the bell operation navigation is not displayed through the precursor and the CZ, the AR right number is obtained (step S1619 in FIG. 22).

<Outline of processing>
Hereinafter, processing of the main control unit 300, the first sub control unit 400, and the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Main control unit main processing>
First, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input resets by a reset interrupt and executes the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG. 15 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are made in step S101. In this initial setting, the stack initial value is set in the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, the interrupt is prohibited, the initial setting of the I / O 310, and the initial setting of various variables (including the MY counter described later) stored in the RAM 308. , Operation permission to the WDT 314, setting of an initial value, and the like are performed.

  In step S103, it is checked whether or not medals are inserted (care or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132), and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the insertion of medals. When a medal is inserted, preparation for transmitting an insertion command indicating this is made. Note that when a replay is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated in a state where a prescribed number of medals have been used. If the start lever 135 is operated, the number of inserted medals and a valid winning line are determined, and the game To start.

  In step S105, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current RT, and an internal lottery (role lottery) is performed using this and the random value acquired from the random value generation circuit 316, Determine the winning role. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination (including an operating combination) is won internally, the flag of the winning combination is turned on.

  In step S107, reel stop data corresponding to the stop operation is prepared based on the result of the internal lottery. This reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  In step S109, a game start state process is executed. Here, based on the result of the internal lottery, processing of whether or not to display the setting of state B, a precursor, a chance zone (hereinafter referred to as CZ), an AR lottery, and operation navigation is performed. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S111, rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on the condition that a game interval timer (subtracted by timer update processing described later) is 0, and an initial value is set in the game interval timer. Further, when the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started, preparation for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed. After that, when the reels 110 to 112 have a predetermined rotation speed, the optical sensors provided on the reels are detected and the symbol positions of the reels are grasped, the stop operation for the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. The game interval counter ensures the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in the present embodiment) and suppresses gambling.

  In step S113, a reel stop control process is executed. In this process, when any one of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed after the stop operation is validated, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped. Specifically, each time the stop operation is performed, the reel stop data stop table is referred to, and the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop operation are stopped according to the number of drawn frames set in the stop table. Further, reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared for the first stop operation, and reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared for the second stop operation. Each time the stop operation is performed, a corresponding command (first to third pressing command) is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the corresponding command (first Preparation for transmitting first to third stop commands) to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed. When all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, a winning determination process is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to some winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the bell (small role 23) has been won. In addition, after determining the winning combination, preparations for transmitting a winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 are made.

  In step S117, if any winning combination with a payout has been won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is awarded (paid out), and the number of awarded medals is displayed using the payout number display 127.

  In step S119, RT update processing is performed. In this process, RT is transitioned based on the conditions shown in the state transition diagram shown in FIG.

  In step S121, game state update processing is performed. Here, based on the result of the game, state B start preparation and end processing, and status B status update are performed. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, the process proceeds by returning to step S103 and repeating the above-described processing.

  Next, the game start state process (step S109) in the main control part main process of FIG. 15 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the game start state process (step S109) in FIG.

  First, in step S1001 executed first, it is determined whether or not the state B flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1003. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1005.

  In step S1003, the state B transition process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1007. The details of the state B transition process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1005, game start state B-related processing is executed, and the flow proceeds to step S1007. Details of the state B transition process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1007, preparation for transmitting the internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 is made, and this game start state process is terminated. The internal winning command includes information regarding the condition device number, state B, bonus, precursor, CZ, AR of the winning combination (for example, state B flag, precursor flag, CZ flag, operation navigation suppression flag, AR preparation) Flag, AR flag, number of AR rights and number of remaining AR games, END1 flag, END2 flag, MY counter), presence / absence of instruction information, and contents thereof.

  Next, details of the state B transition process (step S1003) in the game start state process of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the state B transition process (step S1003) in FIG.

  First, in step S1101, which is executed first, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to shift to the state B. In the present embodiment, lottery types, which are identification information when lottery is performed using each table shown in FIG. 14, are attached to some of the condition device numbers (see the lottery type columns in FIGS. 8 and 9). . In this process, the lottery type corresponding to the internal winning combination is referred to, and a lottery is executed as to whether or not to shift to the state B using the table shown in FIG. 14A (FIG. 14A state). (See B transition probability). More specifically, for the condition device numbers 1, 2, 4, 7-11, and 13-16, the lottery type A is referred to, and the state device number 5, 6, 33 is shifted to the state B with a probability of 100%. , 34 is referred to the lottery type B and transitions to the state B with a probability of 100%, and the condition device numbers 25 and 27 are referred to the lottery type C and transitions to the state B with a probability of 100%. For numbers 26 and 28, the lottery type D is referred to and the state B is shifted to the state B with a probability of 50%. Condition device numbers other than those described above do not shift to state B (no lottery type is assigned). The allocation of the lottery types in FIGS. 8 and 9 is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, condition device number 26 (weak cherry) and condition device number 28 (watermelon) have different winning probabilities for RT3 and RT5 and RT0 to RT2 and RT7. The lottery for the state B transition may not be performed for the device number. The lottery transition to the state B may be performed when a condition device (for example, condition device numbers 3 and 12) having a setting difference (the winning probability varies depending on the setting) is won. Further, when a condition device having no setting difference is won, the winning probability for the state B may be varied according to the set value at that time.

  In step S1103, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1101 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1105; otherwise, the state B transition process is terminated.

  In step S1105, the number of state B continuable games is set. Here, the number of games in which the state B can be continued is a value that defines the number of games in which the state B can be continued, and is configured so that the number of games in the state B does not exceed the value set here. In the present embodiment, 1500 is set as this value, but it may be another constant, or may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values without being limited to a constant.

  In step S1107, a lottery for determining whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1109. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 is referred to, and the lottery for determining whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed using FIG. 14A (see FIG. 14A, see AR winning probability). ). Specifically, in the lottery type A, an AR right (AR rights number 1) is acquired with a probability of 20%, and in the lottery type B, an AR right (AR rights number 3) is acquired with a probability of 100%. Then, the AR right (AR right number 1) is acquired with a probability of 10%, and the AR right (AR right number 1) is acquired with a probability of 5% in the lottery type D. When the AR right is acquired, the number of AR rights is added according to the acquired value. Note that the number of AR rights acquired may be varied according to the set value.

  In step S1109, a lottery of the number of CZ games is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1111. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referenced in step S1101 is referred to, and the lottery of the number of CZ games is executed using FIG. 14A (see FIG. 14A, CZ winning probability). Specifically, the lottery type A has a probability of 100%, the lottery type B has a probability of 0%, the lottery type C has a probability of 70%, and the lottery type D has a probability of 50%. 3 is set. It should be noted that the value is not limited to this value, and may be another constant, or may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values without being limited to a constant.

  In step S1111, lottery of the number of precursor games is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1111. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 is referred to, and the lottery for the number of precursor games is executed using the table of FIG. 14B (see FIG. 14B). Specifically, the number of precursor games of 6 to 20 games is won for each lottery type. Note that a constant may be set for the number of precursor games.

  In step S1113, the value of the number of precursor games won in step S1111 is set as the number of remaining precursor games.

  In step S1115, the number of operation navigation suppression games is set. In this embodiment, the number of operation navigation suppression games of 3-6 is set by lottery. However, in the bonus internal winning, 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games. When the bonus is won internally, the operation navigation suppression period may be set until the bonus is won. Further, for example, the sum of the number of CZ games and the number of precursor games may be set as the number of operation navigation suppression games, and the maximum value of the number of precursor games may be set as the number of operation navigation suppression games. As described above, the number of operation navigation suppressing games is not limited to a constant, and may be other than a constant. Moreover, you may make it set the operation navigation suppression game number using the number of CZ games or the number of precursor games. Further, when a battle effect or a continuous effect by the effect image display device 157 or the like is scheduled, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set according to the number of games of the effect.

  Next, the game start state B-related process (step S1005) in the game start state process of FIG. 16 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the game start state B-related processing (step S1005) in FIG.

  First, in step S1201, which is executed first, it is determined whether or not the precursor flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1203. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1211.

  In step S1203, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is an AR right lottery target. In the present embodiment, when there is a lottery type corresponding to the internal winning combination (any one of A to D is described in the lottery type column of FIGS. 8 and 9), the internal winning combination is determined as an AR right lottery. It becomes the object of. On the other hand, when there is no lottery type corresponding to the internal winning combination (“-” is described in the lottery type column of FIGS. 8 and 9), the internal winning combination is not a target of the AR right lottery. If the winning combination is the target of the AR right lottery, the process proceeds to step S1205, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1219.

  In step S1205, a lottery for determining whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1219. Here, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination is referred to, and the lottery for determining whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed using FIG. 14A (see FIG. 14A, AR winning probability). . Specifically, in the lottery type A, an AR right (AR rights number 1) is acquired with a probability of 20%, and in the lottery type B, an AR right (AR rights number 3) is acquired with a probability of 100%. Then, the AR right (AR right number 1) is acquired with a probability of 10%, and the AR right (AR right number 1) is acquired with a probability of 5% in the lottery type D. When the AR right is acquired, the number of AR rights is added according to the acquired value.

  In step S1211, it is determined whether the AR flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1213. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1217.

  In step S1213, except for the bonus operation (RT4, RT6), if the number of remaining AR games is not 0, 1 is subtracted. In addition, the number of remaining AR games may be added (added) based on the internal winning combination. After this process, the process proceeds to step S1215.

  In step S1215, the number of operation navigation suppression games is set by lottery according to the winning combination, and the process proceeds to step S1219.

  In step S1217, processing is executed when the state is B and is not a precursor (including CZ) or AR, and the process proceeds to step S1219.

  In step S1219, an instruction information setting process is executed, and the game start state B-related process ends. This instruction information setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, details of the instruction information setting process (step S1219) in the game start state B-related process of FIG. 18 will be described using FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the instruction information setting process (step S1219) in FIG.

  First, in step S1301, which is executed first, it is determined whether either RT4 or RT6 (in bonus operation). If this condition is satisfied, the instruction information setting process is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1303.

  In step S1303, it is determined whether or not the precursor flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1305; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1321.

  In step S1305, it is determined whether it is either RT0 or RT7. If this condition is satisfied, the instruction information setting process is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1307.

  In step S1307, it is determined whether or not the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) has been won internally. If this condition is satisfied, the process advances to step S1309; otherwise, the instruction information setting process is terminated.

  In step S1309, it is determined whether the operation navigation suppression flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1311. If not, the instruction information setting process is terminated.

  In step S1311, it is determined whether the operation navigation guarantee flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1313. If not, the instruction information setting process is terminated.

  In step S1313, the correct bell pressing order is set in the instruction information, and the instruction information setting process is terminated.

  In step S1321, instruction information in a period excluding the precursor and CZ is set. For example, when any one of the AR flag, the END1 flag, and the END2 flag is ON and the condition device numbers 19 to 24 and 29 to 31 are internally won, the correct answer push order is set in the instruction information. Even if the internal order is won for the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31), nothing is set in the instruction information for RT0 or RT7 and when the operation navigation suppression flag is on. (The operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed.) In addition, when the AR preparation flag is on, the correct push order is set in the instruction information when the operation condition numbers 19 to 21 are internally won, but the internal win is set to the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31). Even if nothing is set in the instruction information (the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed).

  In step S1623, AR preparation processing is executed. Specifically, the AR right number is decremented by 1, the AR preparation flag is set to ON, and an initial value (for example, 50) is added to the remaining AR game number. This process is not executed while the bonus is in operation or during bonus bonus (RT3 to RT6). Further, the value added as the number of remaining AR games is not limited to a constant, and may be determined by lottery.

  In step S1625, the state B end standby flag is set to ON, and this precursor and CZ processing ends.

  Next, the details of the CZ addition determination process (step S1605) in the precursor and the CZ intermediate process of FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the CZ addition determination process (step S1605) in FIG.

Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 at the time of transition to the state B is referred to, and the AR right lottery is executed using FIG. When the AR right is acquired, the number of AR rights is added according to the acquired value. Since the lottery types that may be referred to in this process are only C and D, the lottery probability is not determined for the lottery type A and the lottery type B.

  In step S1711, 3 is set as the number of CZ games. It should be noted that the value is not limited to this value, and may be another constant, or may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values without being limited to a constant.

Specifically, if the AR right remains in the state where the number of remaining AR games is 0 (the number of AR rights is greater than 0), if it is not in a bonus winning state or during bonus operation (other than RT3 to RT6) Then, 1 is subtracted from the number of AR rights and 50 is added to the number of remaining AR games. The value added as the number of remaining AR games is not limited to a constant, and may be determined by lottery. Further, when both the AR remaining game number and the AR right number are 0, the state B end standby flag is set to ON. After these processes, the AR state update process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the number of remaining warnings is 0, the warning flag is set to off. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1941.

  In step S1941, when the operation navigation suppression game number is larger than 0, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to ON and the operation navigation suppression game number is subtracted by one. On the other hand, when the number of operation navigation suppression games is 0, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF. Thereafter, the state B update process is terminated.

Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically changed to the initial value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) so that no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S205, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port status update process, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input ports of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and each of the various sensors 318 is partitioned in the RAM 308. Store in the provided signal state storage area. The state of the optical sensor is confirmed by this process.

  In step S207, various game processes are executed, and processes according to the interrupt status are executed.

  In step S209, timer update processing is performed. For example, a process of updating various timers for each time unit, such as subtracting the game interval timer, is executed.

  In step S211, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands that have been prepared for transmission in the main processing, timer interrupt processing, and the like of the main control unit 300 are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that the output schedule information transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 11 -14 are command types (in this embodiment, basic command, bet command, start lever reception command, internal winning command, reel rotation start command accompanying the start of rotation of reels 110 to 112, and operation of stop buttons 137 to 139. 1st to 3rd depressing command accompanying the reels 110 to 112, 1st to 3rd stopping command accompanying the stop of the reels 110 to 112, winning command, payout number command and payout completion command accompanying the medal payout process, game state update command), bit 0 -10 are composed of command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type) .

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S213, external signal setting processing is performed. In the external signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 that is separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S215, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence / absence of errors relating to medal insertion abnormality and medal payout abnormality is monitored. (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, according to the current gaming state, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set.

  In step S217, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. If a low-voltage signal is received (when power-off is detected), the process proceeds to step S221. If a low-voltage signal is not received (when power-off is not detected), the process proceeds to step S219. move on.

  In step S219, a timer interrupt end process is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, a process of setting the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 to each original register is performed. Thereafter, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S221, information (recovery data) that needs to be saved, such as specific variables and stack pointers for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery, is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and used area of the RAM 308 Is derived and stored in the RAM 308, and a power flag indicating that the power interruption process has been performed is set to ON.

  First, in step S301, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S301. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this process, an area for storing internal winning information that is information representing the result of the internal winning and an area for storing RT update information that is information indicating the gaming state are provided in the RAM 408, respectively.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305.

  In step S305, 0 is substituted into the timer variable.

  In step S307, command processing that is processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300 is executed. Details of this command processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

Here, preparation for the production is performed according to the production reservation information in the production reservation area provided in the RAM 408. This preparation includes, for example, performing a process such as reading the effect data from the ROM 406 and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S311, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S313, lamp control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read out in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S315, shutter control processing is performed based on the processing result in step S309. For example, if there is a shutter control command in the effect data read in step S309, shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

  In step S317, an information output process for performing setting to transmit a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result of step S309 is performed. For example, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read out in step S309, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S303.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S321 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is performed by using the timer interrupt as a trigger. Execute in the cycle.

  In step S331, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub control unit main process shown in FIG. 28A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S333, the device data is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S315, the production random number is updated, and the like.

  Next, details of the END effect update process (step S3119) in the game state update command process of FIG. 30 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the END effect update process (step S3119) in FIG.

  First, in step S3301, which is executed first, it is determined whether or not the END1 effect is being executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3303. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3311.

  In step S3303, the number of state B continuable games is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3305.

  In step S3305, it is determined whether or not a condition for switching an END1 effect scene (hereinafter referred to as an END1 effect switching condition) is satisfied. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3307; otherwise, the END effect update process is terminated. In the present embodiment, the END1 effect switching condition is that two scenes are executed in each scene, and the END1 effect switching condition is referred to with reference to the value of the number of state B continuable games acquired in step S3303 described above. It is determined whether or not is established. The END1 effect switching condition is not limited to this condition, and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  In step S3307, a process for switching the scene currently being executed in the END1 effect to the next scene is executed, and the END effect update process is terminated.

  In step S3311, it is determined whether the END2 effect is being executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3313; otherwise, the END effect update process ends.

  In step S3313, the value of the MY counter is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3315.

  In step S3315, it is determined whether or not a condition for switching an END2 effect scene (hereinafter referred to as an END2 effect switching condition) is satisfied. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3317; otherwise, the END effect update process is terminated. Note that the END2 effect switching condition will be described later with reference to FIGS. 49 and 50.

  In step S3317, a process for switching the scene currently being executed in the END2 effect to the next scene is executed, and the END effect update process is terminated.

<Processing of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 33A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 33B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 33C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 33D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S401 in FIG. 33A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S401. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S403, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S405, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S407, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command is received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S409, effect control processing is performed. Specifically, if there is a new command in step S407, processing corresponding to this command is performed. For example, a process of reading effect data for performing image control relating to the background image from the ROM 506 is executed. In addition, it includes a process of reading other effect data from the ROM 506 and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S411, image control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S409. For example, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S409, image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control relating to a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control process will be described later with reference to FIG. When this image control process ends, the process returns to step S403.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400. In step S415 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined by using the timer interrupt as a trigger. Execute in the cycle.

  In step S417, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S403 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 33A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S419, an effect random number update process is performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S411 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

  In step S421, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 518. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table, and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S423, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S425. If not, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S425, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S421, the CPU 504 has information on the image data constituting the display image (coordinate axes and image sizes of the VRAM 518). , VRAM coordinates (placement coordinates), image overlay and transparency, etc.) are instructed to VDP 516. The VDP 516 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S427, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S429, it is determined whether a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S431. If not, the generation end interrupt signal is determined. Wait for input.

  In step S431, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

≪Operation explanation≫
Hereinafter, the features of the above-described slot machine 100 will be described using operation examples. In the following figures, in the item “number of games”, the period from the game start operation (operation of the start lever 135) to the next game start operation is shown as one game period.

[[Operation example when winning condition device numbers 2 and 25]]
[Operation example (A1): When winning internally for a combination of bonuses]
FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in the case where an internal winning combination with a bonus is made and a transition is made to state B (a precursor is confirmed at the time of transition to state B). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 34, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that BB1 + chance (condition device number 2) is internally won by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type A).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery is not won, and the number of CZ games of 3 games and the number of precursor games of 6 games are obtained. Also, 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, after processing such as medal payout, the process proceeds from RT1 to RT5 in RT update processing (step S119 in FIG. 15). In the subsequent game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15), in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20), from the result of the state B transition lottery described above, the state B flag, the precursor flag, the operation navigation suppression flag Are set to ON (steps S1923, S1931, and S1941 in FIG. 25). Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes causes a battle! The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43D). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the battle effect (see FIG. 43 (g)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 34 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the battle effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 34, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the fifth game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether AR or bonus has been won or not, but here, it is notified that the bonus has been established at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 43 (h)).

  Further, in the sixth game, a final notice for displaying the symbol of the bonus won internally is executed by the start operation of the start lever 135 (FIG. 43 (m)). In response to this, it is assumed that the symbol of the special role 1 is stopped on the pay line L1 in the sixth game (FIG. 43 (t)). As a result, the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15) shifts from RT5 to RT6 (from the next game to RT6).

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the subsequent game state update process of the sixth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON by the operation of the bonus (step S1509 in FIG. 21).

  Furthermore, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the sixth game, nothing changes because the number of precursor remaining games is not zero (No determination in step S1601 in FIG. 22). .

  When the precursor and CZ in-process are finished and the process returns to the game state update process, the number of remaining precursors and the operation navigation suppression game is initialized to 0 and the CZ flag is set to OFF because the bonus is activated ( Step S1415 in FIG. Subsequently, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the sixth game, the number of remaining warnings and the number of operation navigation suppression games are 0. The suppression flag is set to OFF (steps S1931 and S1941 in FIG. 25). By the above processing, the warning and the operation navigation suppression period scheduled after the next game (seventh game) are canceled. Also, the CZ set at the end of the sign and the navigation period 1 after the operation navigation suppression period are not set. In FIG. 34, these periods are indicated by hatching with a lower left corner.

  Further, the effect data is set so that the bonus effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (seventh game) by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. FIG. 34 shows that the bonus effect starts from the seventh game.

  If there is an AR right number at the time of the transition to the state B and the AR right acquisition lottery (step S1107 in FIG. 17 and step S1205 in FIG. 18) won, the AR is displayed when the bonus period ends. The process is started (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

[Operation example (A2): When there is only a precursor]
FIG. 35 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in a case where the state B transition lottery is won and the CZ and AR lottery is not won (a precursor is determined when the state B shifts). This operation example is an example different from FIG. 38 (operation example (B1)) only in the contents of the effects. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 35, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes causes a battle! The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43D). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the battle effect (see FIG. 43 (g)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 35 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the battle effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 35, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the fifth game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether AR or bonus has been won or not, but here, it is notified that the bonus has not been won at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 43 (i)).

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. In addition, after the above process, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command starts the normal performance (see FIG. 43A) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (sixth game). Production data is set. FIG. 35 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 and the normal performance start from the sixth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that an internal win is made in the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , See step S3007 in FIG. 29 and FIG. 43 (b)). In FIG. 35, it is shown that an operation navigation (medium 1st) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game.

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

  Further, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the number of remaining precursors is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights Is 0, the state B end standby flag is set to ON (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

  Subsequently, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the state B end standby flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameter of state B is initialized (becomes state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the next game (9th game) is returned to the state A, and the precursor and the operation navigation period 1 are ended. FIG. 35 shows that the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation period 1 end in the eighth game, and the state A (operation navigation disabled period) starts from the ninth game.

  In the present embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery during the warning (step S1205 in FIG. 18). For this reason, even when the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be greater than 0 at the end of the sign. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the eighth game and the CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the precursor ends at the eighth game and AR starts from the ninth game. In this case, the state B is maintained after the ninth game. Moreover, in AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) when the operation navigation of a push order bell and a push order replay is displayed, and the effect of AR is performed.

[Operation example (A3): In the case of internal winning for overlapping role with bonus during AR]
FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in the case where an internal winning combination with a bonus during an AR is won internally. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and AR (state B flag on, precursor flag off, CZ flag off). In AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of push order bell and push order replay is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In the first game of FIG. 36, it is indicated that the state is RT1, state B, AR (operation navigation period 2). In addition, the AR effect is executed as the effect at this time.

  In this state, it is assumed that BB1 + chance (condition device number 2) is internally won by the start operation of the second game. During AR, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set by lottery depending on the winning combination (step S1215 in FIG. 18). Here, it is assumed that 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games.

  After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, after processing such as medal payout, the process proceeds from RT1 to RT5 in RT update processing (step S119 in FIG. 15). In the subsequent game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15), the operation navigation suppression flag is set to ON in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, the operation navigation suppression period starts from the next game (third game). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes causes a battle! An effect is displayed in which the characters are displayed. Further, the effect data is set so as to start the battle effect (see FIG. 43 (g)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 36 shows that the operation navigation suppression period and the battle effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). 19 step S1321). In FIG. 36, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the fifth game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether AR or bonus has been won or not, but here, it is notified that the bonus has been established at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 43 (h)).

  Further, in the sixth game, a final notice for displaying the symbol of the bonus won internally is executed by the start operation of the start lever 135 (FIG. 43 (m)). In response to this, it is assumed that the symbol of the special role 1 is stopped on the pay line L1 in the sixth game (FIG. 43 (t)). As a result, the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15) shifts from RT5 to RT6 (from the next game to RT6).

  When the bonus is further activated, the number of operation navigation suppression games is initialized to 0 (step S1415 in FIG. 20), and the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20). (Step S1941 in FIG. 25). The operation navigation suppression period scheduled after the next game (seventh game) is canceled by the above processing. In FIG. 36, the canceled period is indicated by hatching with a lower left corner.

  Further, the effect data is set so that the bonus effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (seventh game) by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. FIG. 36 shows that the bonus effect starts from the seventh game.

  When the bonus period ends, AR is started (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

[Operation example (A4): Operation navigation suppression period is set during AR]
FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation when the operation navigation suppression period is set during AR. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and AR (state B flag on, precursor flag off, CZ flag off). In AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of push order bell and push order replay is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In the first game of FIG. 37, RT1, state B, and AR (operation navigation period 2) are shown. In addition, the AR effect is executed as the effect at this time.

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. During AR, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set by lottery depending on the winning combination (step S1215 in FIG. 18). Here, it is assumed that 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games.

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to ON (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, the operation navigation suppression period starts from the next game (third game). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes causes a battle! An effect is displayed in which the characters are displayed. Further, the effect data is set so as to start the battle effect (see FIG. 43 (g)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 37 shows that the operation navigation suppression period and the battle effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). 19 step S1321). FIG. 37 shows that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the fifth game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether AR or bonus has been won or not, but here, it is notified that the bonus has not been won at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 43 (i)).

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). Thereby, from the next game (sixth game), the push order replay and the push order bell operation navigation are displayed again. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the AR effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (sixth game). FIG. 37 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 2 and the AR effect start from the sixth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that an internal win is made in the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 2 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF), an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In FIG. 37, it is shown that an operation navigation (1st middle) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game.

  When the number of AR rights and the number of remaining AR games become 0, AR is terminated and state A is set (step S1409 in FIG. 20, step S1919 in FIG. 25).

[Operation examples (A1) to (A4)]
In the slot machine 100 of this embodiment, RT4 and RT6 are provided as a state advantageous to the player. When moving to RT4 or RT6, there is a case where it passes through RT3 or RT5 as the previous stage, and in this embodiment, a precursor or CZ may be set in this previous stage (for example, the operation example of FIG. 34 ( A1)). On the other hand, there is a case where a precursor or CZ is set even when the transition to RT4 or RT6 is not made (when a condition device that does not include a special role is won internally) (for example, operation example (A2) in FIG. 35). In these precursors and CZ, at least an operation navigation suppression period is set.

  Also, in RT3 or RT5 in AR, no sign or CZ is provided, but an operation navigation suppression period may be provided (for example, the operation example (A3) in FIG. 36). On the other hand, the operation navigation suppression period may be set even when AR4 does not shift to RT4 or RT6 (when a condition device that does not include a special role is won internally) (for example, operation example (A4) in FIG. 37). ).

  That is, in both cases where the bonus is internally won (RT3 or RT5) and when the bonus is not internally won, not only the common action (positive action (to perform)), but the passive action (to It is configured so that it can occur). Since the player who has seen this common operation expects the start of RT4 or RT6, the interest of the game can be improved. Because of these effects, the period during which the common operation can occur is a precursor period for starting RT4 or RT6 (hereinafter referred to as a bonus predictor period).

  In the bonus predictive period, even if the number of medals decreases, this must be allowed until the result is finalized. For this reason, for example, when an internal winning is made in the push order bell during the bonus predictive period, it is conceivable to suppress the decrease in medals during the bonus predictive period by displaying an operation navigation. However, in the bonus prediction period, various effects may be performed in order to expect the transition to RT4 or RT6. If the operation navigation is displayed during such an effect, it becomes difficult to grasp the effect, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will decline.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration including an operation navigation suppression period and an operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR) in the bonus sign period is adopted (for example, operation examples (A1) to (A1) to ( A4)). Since the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation suppression period, it is possible to make it easier to grasp the effects for enhancing the fun of the game. Also, during the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR), the operation navigation is displayed when an internal winning is made to the push order bell, thereby suppressing the reduction of medals and preventing the entertainment of the game from declining. be able to.

  When the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation period 1 once set, the AR is set when it is extended (for example, addition of CZ in the operation example (B4) of FIG. 41 described later). There is a case (for example, addition of AR in the operation example (B5) of FIG. 42 described later), and this configuration provides an opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell. Further, in the state B including the precursor, CZ, and AR, when the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed when the period of the precursor, CZ, and AR ends (when the operation navigation guarantee flag is off), The operation navigation of the push order bell can be displayed, and the opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell is secured.

  If the navigation is not displayed even though the precursor period and the operation navigation 1 period are set together, the navigation operation of the push order bell is performed by performing navigation during the normal production after the precursor period ends. A configuration that secures the opportunity to display the is also conceivable. However, in this configuration, navigation is generated in a normal performance in which navigation is not basically displayed, and the player may feel uncomfortable. In the present embodiment, the CZ is added when navigation does not occur during the operation navigation 1 period, so that not only the player does not feel uncomfortable, but also AR and bonus are expected by the CZ effect, The interest of the game can be improved.

  If the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed (the operation navigation guarantee flag is off) and the process proceeds to RT4 or RT6, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON at the time of transition (step in FIG. 21). (Yes in S1503). For this reason, with respect to RT3 or RT5, an opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell is not necessarily provided, but since a medal can be expected, there is no disadvantage to the player.

  In the case of RT3 or RT5, the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR) may not be provided depending on the timing of transition to RT4 or RT6 (for example, the operation example (A1) in FIG. 34). FIG. 36 shows an operation example (A3)). However, RT4 or RT6 can expect to win medals, so even if such a configuration is adopted, there is no disadvantage to the player. That is, when there is little need to suppress the decrease in medals, the operation navigation period may not be provided in the bonus sign period. For example, in the case of RT3 or RT5, the operation navigation suppression period is maintained. You may comprise. In addition, in this configuration, the player may know that the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed, so that the player does not shift to RT4 or RT6. It is possible to prevent the player from being realized and to have a sense of expectation. In this way, by including at least the operation navigation suppression period in the bonus sign period, it is possible to make it easier to grasp the effects for enhancing the interest of the game while enhancing the expectation.

  In the above operation examples (A1) to (A4), an operation navigation suppression period is provided when the player is in an advantageous state (RT4 or RT6 in the present embodiment), and the operation navigation is also performed when the advantageous state is not obtained. An example of a configuration in which the operation navigation suppression period is used as a sign period for the advantageous state by providing the suppression period is described. In the present embodiment, a configuration using a bonus has been described as an example of the above-described advantageous state. However, this advantageous state may be anything that starts from an internal winning result, for example, AR, AT, ART The content of the advantageous state such as the pseudo bonus is not limited.

  In addition, the internal winning result that triggers the operation navigation suppression period when the advantageous state is not achieved is not particularly limited, and may be an internal winning combination that may not be advantageous. With this configuration, the operation navigation suppression period can be used as a sign period for an advantageous state.

  In addition, the operation navigation suppression period has been described with respect to the operation navigation suppression period. In the present embodiment, the operation navigation suppression flag is used to display the operation navigation suppression flag. This may not be displayed in a state where navigation can be displayed, and is not limited to the internal winning result that is the target of operation navigation. Moreover, you may make it suppress a part of operation navigation which can be performed. Further, the operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as “Aim at ...”. Both of them may be shown.

  In the operation navigation suppression period, it is preferable to execute an effect that expects an advantageous state.

  In addition, the outcome in the game where the internal winning result that is in an advantageous state is derived, and the outcome in the game in which the internal winning result that is an opportunity to provide an operation navigation suppression period when it is not in an advantageous state are common It is preferable that there are cases where this is the result. In this configuration, the series of operations that become the operation navigation suppression period after this common outcome is the same in the case where it is advantageous and the case where it is not, and the operation navigation is regulated by this common outcome. The player can be notified in advance. Moreover, the expectation with respect to becoming an advantageous state can be raised. For example, in FIGS. 34 to 37, the operation by the condition device numbers 2 and 25 has been described. In the game from which these condition devices are derived, the outcome shown in FIG. 43 (s) is derived as a common outcome. obtain.

[Operation example (B1): When there is only a precursor]
FIG. 38 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in the case where the state B transition lottery is won and the CZ and AR lottery is not won (the precursor is determined when the state B shifts). This operation example is an example different from FIG. 35 (operation example (A2)) only in the contents of the effects. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 38, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the chance is given by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43C). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the precursor effect (see FIG. 43 (e)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 38 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the warning effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). FIG. 38 shows that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. FIG. 38 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that an internal win is made in the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , See step S3007 in FIG. 29, FIG. 43 (f)). FIG. 38 shows that an operation navigation (medium 1st) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game.

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

  Further, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the number of remaining precursors is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights Is 0, the state B end standby flag is set to ON (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

  Subsequently, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the state B end standby flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameter of state B is initialized (becomes state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the next game (9th game) is returned to the state A, and the precursor and the operation navigation period 1 are ended. In addition, after the above process, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command starts the normal performance (see FIG. 43A) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). Production data is set. FIG. 38 shows that the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation period 1 end at the eighth game, and the state A (operation navigation disabled period) and the normal performance start from the ninth game, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery during the warning (step S1205 in FIG. 18). For this reason, even when the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be greater than 0 at the end of the sign. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the eighth game and the CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the precursor ends at the eighth game and AR starts from the ninth game. In this case, the state B is maintained after the ninth game. Moreover, in AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) when the operation navigation of a push order bell and a push order replay is displayed, and the effect of AR is performed.

[Operation example (B2): In case of precursor and CZ]
FIG. 39 shows an example of the operation when the state B transition lottery is won, the number of CZ games of three games is obtained, and the AR lottery is not won (the sign and CZ are determined when the state B transitions). FIG. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 39, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the number of CZ games of 3 games is acquired and the AR right acquisition lottery is not won. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the chance is given by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43C). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the precursor effect (see FIG. 43 (e)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 39 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the warning effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 39, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. FIG. 39 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that an internal win is made in the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , See step S3007 in FIG. 29, FIG. 43 (f)). In FIG. 39, it is shown that an operation navigation (1st middle) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game.

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

  Further, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the eighth game, the number of remaining precursors is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, and the number of CZ games is 3. The CZ flag is set to ON, and the number of CZ games is set as the number of remaining warning signs (steps S1609 and S1611 in FIG. 22). Thereby, CZ starts from the next game (9th game). Note that the number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 43 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). Production data is set. FIG. 39 shows that the sign and the sign effect are finished at the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effect are started from the ninth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the tenth game. In the tenth game, the operation navigation period is 1 (operation navigation suppression flag OFF), but the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON. In this case, even if the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally, the operation navigation is not displayed (No determination in step S1311 in FIG. 19, No determination in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In the present embodiment, this configuration limits the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed in the operation navigation period 1 to one. In FIG. 39, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed in the tenth game, although the winning order (condition device number 31) is won internally.

  In the eleventh game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or bonus is won, but here, it is notified that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

  Furthermore, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the number of remaining precursor games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights Is 0, the state B end standby flag is set to ON (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

  Subsequently, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the state B end standby flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameter of state B is initialized (becomes state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. Accordingly, the next game (12th game) is returned to the state A, and the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 are ended.

  In addition, after the above process, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command starts the normal performance (see FIG. 43A) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (the 12th game). Production data is set. FIG. 39 shows that the states B and CZ and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the state A (operation navigation unavailable period) and the normal performance start from the 12th game, respectively.

  In this embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery in the precursor and CZ (step S1205 in FIG. 18). For this reason, even when the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be greater than 0 at the end of CZ. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the eleventh game and the CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the CZ ends in the eleventh game, and AR starts from the twelfth game. In this case, the state B is maintained after the 12th game. Moreover, in AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) when the operation navigation of a push order bell and a push order replay is displayed, and the effect of AR is performed.

[Operation Example (B3): Foresign, CZ, and AR]
In FIG. 40, when the state B transition lottery is won and the number of CZ games of three games is obtained, and the AR lottery is won and the number of AR rights is 1, the sign, CZ, and AR are It is a figure which shows an example of operation | movement of (confirmation). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 40, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to being in state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the number of CZ games of three games is acquired and the number of AR rights is acquired by one. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the chance is given by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43C). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the precursor effect (see FIG. 43 (e)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 40 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the warning effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 40, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. FIG. 40 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that an internal win is made in the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , See step S3007 in FIG. 29, FIG. 43 (f)). In FIG. 40, it is shown that an operation navigation (medium 1st) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 30) in the eighth game.

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

  Further, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the eighth game, the number of remaining precursors is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, and the number of CZ games is 3. The CZ flag is set to ON, and the number of CZ games is set as the number of remaining warning signs (steps S1609 and S1611 in FIG. 22). Thereby, CZ starts from the next game (9th game). Note that the number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 43 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). Production data is set. FIG. 40 shows that the sign and the sign effect are finished at the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effect are started from the ninth game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the tenth game. In the tenth game, the operation navigation period is 1 (operation navigation suppression flag OFF), but the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON. In this case, even if the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally, the operation navigation is not displayed (No determination in step S1311 in FIG. 19, No determination in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In the present embodiment, this configuration limits the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed in the operation navigation period 1 to one. In FIG. 40, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed in the tenth game, though the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is won internally.

  In the eleventh game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether or not an AR or bonus has been won, but here it is notified that the AR will start at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 43 (l)).

  Furthermore, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the number of remaining precursor games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights Is 1, the CZ flag is set to OFF and settings for starting AR are performed (steps S1615 and S1623 in FIG. 22).

  Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the 11th game, the precursor flag is set to OFF (step S1931 in FIG. 25). If the state B flag is on, the precursor flag and the CZ flag are off and the remaining number of AR games is not 0 by the processing so far, the AR starts from the next game (the 12th game). In AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the AR effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (the 12th game). FIG. 40 shows that CZ and operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and AR (operation navigation period 2) and AR effects start from the 12th game.

[Operation example (B4): When CZ is added]
FIG. 41 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in the case where the state B transition lottery is won and the CZ and AR lottery is not won (the precursor is determined when the state B shifts). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 41, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the chance is given by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43C). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the precursor effect (see FIG. 43 (e)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 41 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the warning effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 41, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. FIG. 41 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

  Thereafter, the game proceeds, but it is assumed that the internal order is not won for the push order bell (condition device numbers 29-31) during the 6-8 games (operation navigation period 1). In this case, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off. Then, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF. Is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). In this process, the bonus is not won internally, the number of AR rights and the number of CZ games are not found, and the CZ flag is also turned off. Therefore, the number of AR rights is drawn, and the number of CZ games is set to 3. (Steps S1709 and S1711 in FIG. 23). Here, it is assumed that the number of AR rights cannot be acquired.

  When the CZ addition determination process ends and the process returns to the precursor and CZ process, since the number of CZ games is 3, the CZ flag is set to ON and the number of CZ games is set to the number of remaining precursors (FIG. 22). Step S1609 and Step S1611). Thereby, CZ starts from the next game (9th game). Note that the number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 43 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). Production data is set. FIG. 41 shows that the sign and the sign effect are finished at the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effect are started from the ninth game. In FIG. 41, the notation of CZ (addition) is used. This indicates that this CZ is added later when the operation navigation is not displayed.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the tenth game. In the tenth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is OFF) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, an operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19, FIG. 19). 29, step S3007, see FIG. 43 (k)). In FIG. 41, it is shown that an operation navigation (1st right) indicating the push order of the correct answer is displayed by internally winning the push order bell (condition device number 31) in the tenth game.

  In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the tenth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to ON when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

  In the eleventh game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or bonus is won, but here, it is notified that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

  Furthermore, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the number of remaining precursor games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights Is 0, the state B end standby flag is set to ON (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

  Subsequently, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the state B end standby flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameter of state B is initialized (becomes state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. Accordingly, the next game (12th game) is returned to the state A, and the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 are ended.

  In addition, after the above process, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command starts the normal performance (see FIG. 43A) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (the 12th game). Production data is set. FIG. 41 shows that the states B and CZ and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the state A (operation navigation unavailable period) and the normal performance start from the 12th game, respectively.

  In the above operation, the number of AR rights is 0 at the end of the eighth game, but the number of AR rights is added by lottery during CZ addition determination processing for the eighth game and CZ for the ninth to eleventh games. There are cases (step S1709 in FIG. 23, step S1205 in FIG. 18). For this reason, even when the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be greater than 0 at the end of CZ. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the eleventh game and the CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the CZ ends in the eleventh game, and AR starts from the twelfth game. In this case, the state B is maintained after the 12th game. Moreover, in AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) when the operation navigation of a push order bell and a push order replay is displayed, and the effect of AR is performed.

[Operation example (B5): When CZ and AR are added]
FIG. 42 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation in a case where the state B transition lottery is won and the CZ and AR lottery is not won (a precursor is determined when the state B shifts). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes in step S1001 in FIG. 16, and FIGS. 18 and 19 are not executed). In the first game of FIG. 42, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed due to the state A in addition to being RT1 and the state A (operation navigation disabled period). The effect at this time is a normal effect (see FIG. 43A).

  In this state, it is assumed that the winning operation (condition device number 25) is won internally by the start operation of the second game. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a probability of 100% (FIG. 14A, lottery type C).

  When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in state B is set first, followed by the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109 in FIG. 17, step S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. Further, regarding the number of precursor games, it is assumed that six precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

  Thereafter, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after a process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are set to ON based on the result of the state B transition lottery described above ( Step S1923, step S1931, and step S1941 in FIG. Thereby, the state B, the warning, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the chance is given by the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes. The effect of displaying the characters is executed (see FIG. 43C). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the precursor effect (see FIG. 43 (e)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 42 shows that the state B, the warning, the operation navigation suppression period, and the warning effect start from the third game.

  After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the winning bell (condition device number 31) is won internally in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally (FIG. 5). No in step S1309 in 19 and No in step S3005 in FIG. 29). In FIG. 42, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period although the winning order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game.

  In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to OFF when the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression is performed. The period ends (step S1941 in FIG. 25). As a result, a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times from the next game (sixth game) is started. FIG. 42 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends at the fifth game and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

  Thereafter, the game proceeds, but it is assumed that the internal order is not won for the push order bell (condition device numbers 29-31) during the 6-8 games (operation navigation period 1). In this case, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off. Then, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF. Is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). In this process, the bonus is not won internally, the number of AR rights and the number of CZ games are not found, and the CZ flag is also turned off. Therefore, the number of AR rights is drawn, and the number of CZ games is set to 3. (Steps S1709 and S1711 in FIG. 23). Here, it is assumed that the number of AR rights cannot be acquired.

  When the CZ addition determination process is finished and the process returns to the precursor and CZ process, since the number of CZ games is 3, the CZ flag is set to ON, and the number of CZ games is set as the precursor remaining game number (FIG. 22). Step S1609 and Step S1611). Thereby, CZ starts from the next game (9th game). Note that the number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 43 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). Production data is set. FIG. 42 shows that the sign and the sign effect are finished in the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effect are started from the ninth game. In FIG. 42, the notation of CZ (addition) is used, and this indicates that this CZ is added later when the operation navigation is not displayed.

  Thereafter, the game proceeds, but it is assumed that the internal order is not won for the push order bell (condition device numbers 29-31) during the 9-11 games (operation navigation period 1). Also in this case, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off.

  In the eleventh game, a judgment effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 29). This judgment effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or bonus is won, but here, it is notified that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

  Further, in the precursor and CZ in-process (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eleventh game, the number of remaining precursors is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off. This is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). However, since the CZ flag is on, CZ is not added again (No determination in step S1707 in FIG. 23). Then, when the CZ flag is set to OFF in the subsequent processing, 1 is added to the AR right number because the operation navigation guarantee flag is OFF, and the setting for starting AR is performed (step of FIG. 22). S1615, step S1619, step S1623).

  Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process for the 11th game, the precursor flag is set to OFF (step S1931 in FIG. 25). If the state B flag is on, the precursor flag and the CZ flag are off and the remaining number of AR games is not 0 by the processing so far, the AR starts from the next game (the 12th game). In AR, it becomes a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed. Further, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command performs a judgment effect (an effect that reverses the judgment effect at the time of the third stop operation) for notifying that the AR is started ( FIG. 43 (l)). Further, the effect data is set so as to start the AR effect at the timing of the start operation of the next game (the 12th game). FIG. 42 shows that CZ and operation navigation period 1 end in the eleventh game, and AR (operation navigation period 2) and AR effects start from the twelfth game, respectively. In FIG. 42, the notation AR (addition) is used, which indicates that this AR is added later when the operation navigation is not displayed.

[Operation examples (B1) to (B5)]
In the slot machine 100 of this embodiment, an AR is provided as one of the advantageous states for the player. This AR is configured so as to be set after a standby period, and in this embodiment, a sign and CZ are set in this standby period (for example, the operation example (B3) in FIG. 40). ). Further, even when AR is not set (when it is not a standby period), a precursor or CZ may be set (for example, operation example (B1) in FIG. 38, operation example (B2) in FIG. 39). . That is, in both cases where AR is set and AR is not set, a common operation (not only positive operation (performs) but also passive operation (not pertains)) occurs. Configured to get. Since the players who have seen this common operation expect the start of AR, the interest of the game can be improved. Because of these effects, the period during which the common operation can occur is a sign period for the start of AR (hereinafter, AR sign period).

  In the AR predictive period, even if the number of medals decreases, this must be allowed until the result is finalized. For this reason, for example, in the case where the winning bell is internally won in the AR predictive period, it is conceivable to display the operation navigation to suppress the decrease in medals during the AR predictive period. However, in the AR predictive period, various effects may be performed in order to expect the AR to be given. If the operation navigation is displayed during such an effect, it becomes difficult to grasp the effect, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will decline.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the operation navigation suppression period and the operation navigation period 1 are provided in the AR predictive period (a precursor or CZ) is adopted (for example, operation examples (B1) to (B3) in FIGS. 38 to 40). . Since the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation suppression period, it is possible to make it easier to grasp the effects for enhancing the fun of the game. Further, in the operation navigation period 1, the operation navigation is displayed when the winning order bell is won internally, so that the decrease in medals can be prevented and the entertainment of the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  In addition, when the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation period 1 once set, the operation navigation is extended (for example, addition of CZ in the operation example (B4) of FIG. 41), or the AR is set ( For example, there is an operation example of FIG. 42 (addition of AR in B5), and this configuration provides an opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell. Further, in the state B including the precursor, CZ, and AR, when the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed when the period of the precursor, CZ, and AR ends (when the operation navigation guarantee flag is off), The operation navigation of the push order bell can be displayed, and the opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell is secured.

  If the navigation is not displayed even though the precursor period and the operation navigation 1 period are set together, the navigation operation of the push order bell is performed by performing navigation during the normal production after the precursor period ends. A configuration that secures the opportunity to display the is also conceivable. However, in this configuration, navigation is generated in a normal performance in which navigation is not basically displayed, and the player may feel uncomfortable. In the present embodiment, the CZ is added when navigation does not occur during the operation navigation 1 period, so that not only the player does not feel uncomfortable, but also AR and bonus are expected by the CZ effect, The interest of the game can be improved.

  In the above configuration, the combination of the operation navigation suppression period and the operation navigation period 1 is used in the sign or CZ. However, when there is little need to suppress the decrease in medals, the operation navigation is performed during the AR prediction period. The period 1 may not be provided. For example, when it is certain that AR is set, the operation navigation suppression period may continue until AR is set. Since AR can expect to win medals, even if such a configuration is adopted, there will be no disadvantage to the player. Further, in this configuration, the player may know that the AR is not set because the operation navigation of the push order bell is displayed, but at least during the operation navigation suppression period, the player is notified whether AR is set or not. You can prevent them from being realized and have a sense of expectation. In this way, by including at least the operation navigation suppression period in the AR predictive period, it is possible to make it easier to grasp the effects for enhancing the interest of the game while enhancing the expectation. On the other hand, when it is highly necessary to suppress the decrease in medals, the operation navigation suppression period may not be provided in the AR predictive period. That is, by providing at least the operation navigation period in the AR predictive period, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from declining due to a decrease in medals.

  As described in the above operation examples (B1) to (B5), in the present embodiment, the display of the operation navigation is performed in the first period in which the operation navigation can be displayed (the operation navigation period 1 which is a precursor in the present embodiment). If there is no operation navigation, the second period during which the operation navigation can be displayed (operation navigation period 1 by CZ) is set. If the operation navigation is displayed, the second period during which the operation navigation can be displayed. The configuration that does not perform the setting is adopted.

  In the present embodiment, the operation navigation period 1 in the precursor is equivalent to an example of the first period, but for this first period, for example, the probability of adding CZ or the number of AT games is higher than normal. Any period may be employed as long as the operation navigation can be executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which CZ is added as the second period is adopted, but this period may be a period in which the operation navigation can be performed. For example, the first period is extended to extend the first period. The second period may be a period advantageous to the player as compared to the first period, such as an increase in the number of AT games.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the second period is provided following the first period has been described. However, for example, the second period is provided with a predetermined number of games from the first period. The first period and the second period may be separated from each other. In addition, when providing a 2nd period following a 1st period like this embodiment, the 1st production (a prelude production in this embodiment) performed during the 1st period is the first. The second effect (CZ effect in this embodiment) that ends in accordance with the period and starts during the second period starts in accordance with the second period. The player can easily grasp that the second period has started due to the second performance.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second period is more advantageous than the first period (in this embodiment, an AR may be additionally elected, FIG. 14C). The difference between the advantages of the first period and the second period is not limited to this configuration, but the second period is more advantageous than the first period as in the present embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to maintain his expectation.

[[Modification example of repeating the operation navigation suppression period and the operation navigation period during AR (operation examples (C1) to (C4))]]
In the above operation examples (B1) to (B5), in the first period in which the operation navigation can be displayed, if the operation navigation is not displayed, the second period in which the operation navigation can be displayed is set. When the operation navigation is displayed, a configuration is adopted in which the second period during which the operation navigation can be displayed is not set (FIGS. 38 to 42). Below, the structure which employ | adopted the 1st period and the 2nd period demonstrates the modification different from embodiment described above.

  The modification described below adopts a configuration in which the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period are alternately provided in the AR. In this operation navigation period 2, when an internal winning is performed for the push order bell and the push order replay, an operation navigation indicating the correct operation order is displayed. Further, in the operation navigation suppression period, the display of the operation navigation in the case where the winning order bell is internally won is suppressed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). Further, in this modified example, a configuration is adopted in which the number of games in the operation navigation period 2 is added when the display number of the operation navigation of the push order bell in the operation navigation period 2 does not reach the minimum display number (in the following example, once). is doing.

  FIG. 44 is a diagram illustrating an example of operation in the above modification (operation example (C1)). This example shows the operation during AR, and is assumed to be RT2 and state B (state B flag on) throughout. In this example, the operation navigation period 2 for 3 games and the operation navigation suppression period for 3 games are alternately provided. In this operation navigation period 2, the number of sets is assigned for each section such that the first set is the first set and the second is the second set. Here, the first game to the third game correspond to the first set. The seventh game to the ninth game correspond to the second set.

  In the first set, an effect including the display of the number of sets is executed as shown in FIG. 48A. However, when the operation navigation is further displayed, as shown in FIG. 48B, FIG. ) Is displayed in addition to the effect of). The second set is the same as the first set, and an effect including the display of the number of sets is executed as shown in FIG. 48 (c), and when an operation navigation is further displayed, as shown in FIG. 48 (d). Thus, in addition to the effect of FIG. 48 (c), the display of push order navigation is executed. Further, in the operation navigation suppression period, as shown in FIG. 48 (e), an effect of displaying the characters “resting” is executed.

  FIG. 44 shows that, in each of the first set and the second set of the operation navigation period 2, the push order bell is internally won and the operation navigation is displayed (first, second and eighth games). In the operation navigation suppression period, it is indicated that the operation navigation is not displayed even though the push order bell is won internally (5th, 10th game).

  In the operation example (C1) of FIG. 44, the operation navigation period 2 ends as scheduled because the operation navigation has reached the minimum number of display times in both the operation navigation period 2 of the first set and the second set.

  FIG. 45 shows an operation (operation example (C2)) when the operation navigation does not reach the minimum display count in the first operation navigation period 2. In the operation example (C2) of FIG. 45, the first set is scheduled to end in the third game as in the operation example (C1) of FIG. 44, but the operation navigation does not end because the operation display does not reach the minimum display count. The operation navigation period 2 continues as it is (operation navigation period 2 game number added). Then, the operation navigation period 2 of the first set ends in response to the display of the operation navigation of the push order bell in the fifth game. Note that FIG. 45 employs a configuration in which the subsequent schedule is shifted by the number of games in the added operation navigation period 2.

  FIG. 46 shows an operation (operation example (C3)) when the operation navigation does not reach the minimum display count in the first operation navigation period 2. In this example, as in the operation example (C2) of FIG. 45, the operation navigation period 2 of the first set scheduled to end in the third game continues as it is because the operation navigation has not reached the minimum display count (operation navigation period After that, the operation navigation period 2 of the first set is ended in response to the display of the operation navigation of the push order bell in the fifth game. The operation example (C3) in FIG. 46 adopts a configuration in which the operation navigation suppression period is reduced by the number of games in the operation navigation period 2 added. For this reason, the schedules of the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period after the sixth game are the same as those in FIG. The operation example (C3) in FIG. 46 is different from the operation example (C2) in FIG. Note that when the configuration in which the operation navigation suppression period is reduced by the number of games in the added operation navigation period 2 is employed, the operation navigation suppression period may be lost. For example, as in the operation example (C4) of FIG. 47, when the first set of operation navigation periods 2 is not completed and the start of the second set of operation navigation periods 2 is reached, these operation navigation periods 2 are set to 1 Will lead to one. In this case, the operation navigation period 2 of the second set may be handled as the first set, and in this case, the first set of effects (the same effect) may be performed.

  It should be noted that any number of games can be adopted for the number of games in the operation navigation period 2, the number of games in the operation navigation suppression period, and the minimum number of operation navigation displays. Further, the number of games may be different between the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period, and the number of games and the minimum number of times may be determined by lottery.

  In adopting the configuration of the above modification, for example, the number of remaining games in the operation navigation period is provided separately, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set to ON when the number of remaining games in the operation navigation period becomes 0. In addition, a configuration in which the remaining number of games in the operation navigation period is set again when the operation navigation suppression flag is turned off may be added to the above-described embodiment.

  44 to 47, in the first period in which the operation navigation can be displayed (operation navigation period 2 in the modification), the operation navigation is displayed when the operation navigation is not displayed. A possible second period (corresponding to the extension of the operation navigation period 2) is set, and when the operation navigation is displayed, the second period in which the operation navigation can be displayed is not set. This is the same as the configuration described in the operation examples (B1) to (B5). Furthermore, in this modified example, after the third period when the operation navigation is not permitted (operation navigation suppression period), there is a second period, after the first period when there is no second period. , And a configuration in which a first period is newly set after the third period. In addition, about this modification, you may combine suitably the structure demonstrated by operation example (B1)-(B5).

[[Operation example at the end of State B]]
[Operation example (D1): When the number of games in state B reaches the upper limit (1)]
In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the number of remaining AR games is added is employed, and this may cause the period of state B where medals are easily acquired to be longer. Here, if the period of the state B becomes too long, the euphoria becomes high. In this embodiment, an upper limit is set for the number of games in the state B (for example, 1500), and this upper limit number of games is reached. The configuration in which the state B ends is adopted. In addition, if the state B suddenly ends, the interest of the game may be reduced. Therefore, by executing the ending effect (END1 effect in this embodiment) before the state B ends, the state B can be changed in advance. A configuration is adopted that allows the user to grasp the end of the process. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows an example of the operation when the number of games in state B reaches the upper limit and ends. In the following figures, in the item “number of games”, the period from the game start operation (operation of the start lever 135) to the next game start operation is shown as one game period. In addition, the timing at which the stop operation becomes valid and the timing at which all the reels are stopped in one game period are indicated by short vertical lines.

  In the operation example of FIG. 49, it is assumed that the initial state (first game) is RT2, and the AR flag and the state B flag are on. In addition, although the number of games that can be continued in state B decreases as the number of games in state B increases (step S1911 in FIG. 25), the number of games that can continue in state B decreases to 21 in the operation example of FIG. The description starts from the beginning of the 1480th game. In addition, when an internal winning is performed in the push order replay (condition device numbers 22 to 24), the player operates according to the correct operation order and wins the normal replay (either the regame player 1 or the regame player 2). . In addition, when the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally, it is operated according to the correct operation order, and the bell (small part 23) is won.

  First, in the first game (1480th time), the game progresses with the internal winning of the push order replay (condition device numbers 22 to 24). In this game, when the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) executed after the process of paying out medals can continue the state B in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20). The number of games is decremented by 1 and the value becomes 20 (step S1911 in FIG. 25). Then, when the number of state B continuable games has reached 20, the END1 flag is set on and the AR flag is set off (steps S1913, S1915, and S1917 in FIG. 25). After the END1 flag is set to ON, the operation navigation is executed even if the AR flag is set to OFF (step S1321 in FIG. 19). Further, when the END1 flag is on, processing such as subtraction of the remaining AR game number is not executed (No determination in step S1211 in FIG. 18).

  Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so as to start the END1 effect at the timing of the start operation of the next game (second game) (FIG. 30 step S3117, step S3203 of FIG. FIG. 49 shows that the END1 effect starts from the second game. That is, the progress of 1480 games in state B (or the start of the 1481th game) is the start condition for the END1 effect.

  This END1 effect is an effect composed of 10 types of scenes that continue until the end of the state B. These scenes are configured to be switched every two games (step S3305 in FIG. 32), and the entire END1 effect is an effect executed over 20 games. FIG. 49 shows that each scene of the END1 effect is switched every two games. Also, at the end of the 1500th game in the state B, the value of the number of games that can be continued in the state B becomes 0, and the state B ends (No determination in step S1905 in FIG. 25, step S1919). It is shown that the END1 effect has ended in accordance with the end of state B (1500th game). Thereafter, in FIG. 49, it is shown that the state A is set in the game next to the 1500th game in the state B and the normal effect is being executed.

[Operation example (D2): In state B, when the net number of medals reaches the upper limit]
As described in the operation example (D1), in the present embodiment, the state B is configured to end when the number of games in the state B reaches an upper limit (for example, 1500). In order to prevent the value from becoming higher, an upper limit (for example, 2400) is also set for the net increase in the number of medals in state B.

  Specifically, a variable (MY counter, initial value 0) for storing the number of medals for net increase is provided, and the net increase number for each game is calculated from the difference between the number of used medals and the number of payouts, and added to the MY counter ( The process of step S1A03 in FIG. Here, when the number of net increase is negative, the value of the MY counter decreases. However, when the value of the MY counter changes to negative at this time, the value of the MY counter is reset to 0 (initialized in FIG. 26). Step S1A07). Then, when the value of the MY counter reaches an upper limit (for example, 2400), state B ends (step S1919 in FIG. 25 is executed by setting the number of state B continuable games to 0 in step S1A19 in FIG. 26). ) In addition, it is good not only as a structure which reaches | attains an upper limit (for example, 2400) and the state B complete | finishes, but it is good also as a structure which the state B complete | finishes when exceeding an upper limit.

  Even when the state B is ended by the MY counter, an ending effect (END2 effect in the present embodiment) is executed before the end of the state B so that the fun of the game is not diminished suddenly. Therefore, a configuration is adopted in which the state B is grasped in advance. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram showing an example of the operation when the MY counter reaches the upper limit and ends in the state B.

  In the operation example of FIG. 50, it is assumed that the initial state (first game) is RT2, and the AR flag and the state B flag are on. In addition, although the number of games that can be continued in state B decreases as the number of games in state B increases (step S1911 in FIG. 25), the number of games that can continue in state B decreases to 501 in the operation example of FIG. The description starts from the beginning of the 1000th game. Further, the MY counter is assumed to have increased to 2140 immediately before the first game. In addition, when an internal winning is performed in the push order replay (condition device numbers 22 to 24), the player operates according to the correct operation order and wins the normal replay (either the regame player 1 or the regame player 2). . In this case, the value of the MY counter is not changed (Yes determination in step S1A01 in FIG. 26). In addition, when the winning order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is won internally, it is operated according to the correct operation order, and the bell (small part 23) is won. In this case, the value of the MY counter is incremented by 10 (in step S1A03 in FIG. 26, the requested number of payouts is 13 and the number of input is 3).

  First, in the first game (1000th time), the game progresses with the internal winning of the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31). In the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) executed after the processing such as the medal payout when the reels 110 to 112 are stopped in this game, the MY counter update process in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Is executed (step S1903 in FIG. 25, FIG. 26). Here, since the winning order bell is won, the value of the MY counter is incremented by 10, and the value becomes 2150 (step S1A03 in FIG. 26). Then, when the value of the MY counter becomes 2150, the END2 flag is set to ON and the AR flag is set to OFF (Step S1A13, Step S1A15, Step S1A17 in FIG. 26). After the END2 flag is set to ON, the operation navigation is executed even if the AR flag is set to OFF (step S1321 in FIG. 19). Further, when the END2 flag is on, processing such as subtraction of the remaining AR game number is not executed (No determination in step S1211 in FIG. 18).

  Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so as to start the END2 effect at the timing of the start operation of the next game (second game) (see FIG. 30 step S3117 and step S3213 in FIG. 31). FIG. 50 shows that the END2 effect starts from the second game. That is, the condition for starting the END2 effect is that the value of the MY counter is 2150 or more.

  This END2 effect is an effect consisting of 25 types of scenes that continue until the end of state B. These scenes are configured to be switched every time the value of the MY counter increases by 10 (step S3315 in FIG. 32), and the END2 effect as a whole is a minimum of 25 games (the MY counter is increased by 10 in the push order bell prize) (When the game to be played is continued 25 times). FIG. 50 shows that each scene of the END2 effect is switched every time the MY counter is increased by 10 (push order bell win). When the value of the MY counter is 2400 or more, the value of the number of games that can be continued in state B is set to 0, and state B ends (Yes in step S1A11 in FIG. 26, step S1A19). It is shown that the END2 effect has ended in accordance with the end of B. After that, FIG. 50 shows that the state A is set when the value of the MY counter becomes 2400, and the normal effect is being executed.

  In the example of FIG. 50, the last scene has the content indicating the AR end. However, for example, if the player wins the push order replay instead of the push order bell at the 38th game in FIG. And the last scene will continue to be displayed, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will decline. Therefore, for example, when the last scene is executed, if it is more certain that the value of the MY counter reaches the upper limit, such as adding contents indicating the end of AR when the internal winning is made to the push order bell, Alternatively, the contents indicating the end of the state B may be displayed.

  Also, depending on the number of games that are not won internally by the bell, the END2 effect may not progress easily and the interest of the game may be reduced. Therefore, a maximum number of games that can execute the END2 effect may be provided. In this case, the END2 effect may end when the execution period of the END2 effect reaches the maximum number of games, or when the maximum number of games is reached, the last scene is executed and the END2 effect ends. It may be. Further, the state B may end in accordance with the end of the END2 effect.

[About the condition B end condition and the ending effect (END1 effect and END2 effect)]
In the present embodiment, a condition (end) for ending the state B without continuing the state B (regardless of the number of remaining AR games), that the number of continuing games reaches 1500 and the MY counter reaches 2400. And the ending effect (END1 effect and END2 effect) are executed at the end of each. This configuration is an example of a configuration in which an ending effect is performed when the advantageous state is terminated. For this advantageous state, an operation condition such as state B of the present embodiment is notified (for example, AT, ART, etc.). ), Or any state that provides an advantageous state for the player, such as a so-called bonus, a chance zone, or a specialized zone. In this embodiment, the slot machine is described as an example. However, for example, if it is pachinko, it may be in a state such as a big hit or a short time.

  In addition, the advantageous condition end condition and ending effect start condition may be a condition established by the number of games as described above, a condition established by a net increase in the number of acquired games, It may be a condition that is established depending on the number of acquisitions and the number of small winnings. Depending on these conditions, the execution period of the ending effect may be an indefinite period. For example, in this embodiment, the END2 effect is executed based on the value of the MY counter. However, since the change of the MY counter differs for each game, the execution period of the END2 effect becomes an indefinite period.

  In the present embodiment, the END1 effect starts based on the number of games in the state B, and then the state B ends based on the number of games in the state B. Further, the END2 effect starts based on the value of the MY counter, and then the state B ends based on the value of the MY counter. Thus, in the present embodiment, the same type of variable is used for both the advantageous end condition and the corresponding ending effect start condition. However, for example, a different variable may be used, such as starting a certain ending effect based on the value of the MY counter and ending the state B when a predetermined number of games thereafter have elapsed. In this case, a predetermined number may be set so that the MY counter does not exceed the upper limit value (2400). At this time, if the MY counter does not reach the upper limit value (2400), the state B ends. However, even with this configuration, gambling can be suppressed.

  Further, the end timing of the ending effect does not necessarily coincide with the end of the advantageous state, and may be before and after. In addition, if it is the structure which complete | finishes with an advantageous state, the completion | finish of an advantageous state can be grasped | ascertained clearly by completion | finish of an ending effect.

  In addition, the content of the ending effect is different in the present embodiment, but it may be the same, and the execution period of the ending effect is different depending on the start condition of the ending effect. In this case, it is possible to infer the reason why the advantageous state ends due to the difference in the execution period. In addition, as in the present embodiment, when the execution period of the ending effect extends over a certain number of games (for example, the END1 effect) and the game with a non-constant number of games (for example, the above-mentioned) In the case of a combination of (END2 effect), it is possible to infer the reason why the advantageous state ends due to the difference in the execution period of the ending effect.

  In addition, as a switching condition when switching a plurality of scenes for the ending effect, this embodiment adopts a game number or a net increase in the number of acquired games, but it is not limited to these conditions and is arbitrarily set. Can be adopted.

  Moreover, although the structure which switches a some scene about an ending effect is employ | adopted in this embodiment, the structure which flows the ending effect which is not divided into scenes may be sufficient.

[About the timing for establishing the start conditions of the END1 effect and the END2 effect]
As described above, in this embodiment, two types of ending effects are adopted. However, depending on the situation, the END2 effect start condition may be satisfied after the END1 effect is started. If it is interrupted and the END2 performance is executed, the player may be confused or the interest of the game may decline. From this point, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 51A, when the start condition for the END2 effect is satisfied during the execution of the END1 effect, a configuration is adopted in which the END1 effect is maintained without starting the END2 effect. ing. FIG. 49 shows that the END1 effect is being executed as it is, although the END2 effect start condition is satisfied during the execution of the END1 effect (at the end of the fifth game).

  In addition, if the END1 effect is interrupted due to the completion of the end condition (in this embodiment, the MY counter reaches 2400) corresponding to the END2 effect during the execution of the END1 effect, the player is confused or the game is intriguing. There is a risk of declining. In the present embodiment, the END1 effect is an effect executed over 20 games, and the END2 effect is an effect executed over 25 games or more. In this configuration, when the start condition of the END1 effect is established before the start condition of the END2 effect, as shown in FIG. 51A, the end condition (this implementation) corresponding to the END2 effect is performed during the execution of the END1 effect. In the embodiment, since the MY counter reaches 2400) is not established, the END1 effect can be executed until the end of the state B. Also in the example of FIG. 49, when the start condition for the END1 effect is satisfied prior to the start condition for the END2 effect (at the end of the fifth game), the end corresponding to the END2 effect at the end of the END1 effect and the state B It is shown that the condition (MY counter is 2400) is not satisfied.

  In this embodiment, the execution period of the END2 effect is an indefinite period from the MY counter reaching 2150 to reaching 2400 (25 games at the shortest) (FIG. 51 (a)). For example, even if the execution period is set to a fixed period such as 25 games after the MY counter reaches 2150, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), the END2 effect is being executed. Since the end condition corresponding to the effect is not satisfied, the END1 effect can be executed until the end of the state B. In this case, the state B may be terminated even if the MY counter does not reach 2400.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the start condition of the END2 effect is established first and the END2 effect is executed, the END1 effect is not executed later (FIG. 32), but the state B is being executed while the END2 effect is being executed. When the number of games that can be continued reaches 0 (1500 games have elapsed in state B), state B ends, and the END2 effect may end. Here, similarly to the END1 effect, in order to prevent the END2 effect from being interrupted, the execution period of the END2 effect may be shorter than the END1 effect.

  For example, in FIG. 51 (b), the execution period of the END2 effect is 25 games, but this may be 15 games shorter than the execution period of the END1 effect. FIG. 51 (c) shows the value of the MY counter. The flow in the case where the END2 effect is started by reaching 2250 and the END2 effect ends after 15 games have elapsed is shown. In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 51 (c), during the execution of the END2 effect, the END2 effect is maintained even if the start condition of the END1 effect is satisfied, and the end condition corresponding to the END1 effect is not satisfied. The END2 effect can be executed until the end of the state B. In this case, the state B may be terminated even if the MY counter does not reach 2400.

  Further, for example, when the start condition for the END2 effect is established first, the state B ends as the end condition corresponding to the END2 effect is reached when a predetermined number of games whose upper limit is the current value of the number of games that can be continued in the state B is reached. The END2 effect may be executed during a period up to the predetermined number of games. Also in this case, during the execution of the END2 effect, the END2 effect is maintained even if the start condition of the END1 effect is satisfied, and before the end condition corresponding to the END1 effect (the number of games that can be continued in state B is 0), An end condition (any of the MY counter reaching 2400 and the progress of a predetermined number of games) corresponding to the END2 effect is satisfied, and the END2 effect can be executed until the end of the state B.

  In the above description, the configuration in which the execution period of the END1 effect is different from the execution period of the END2 effect. For example, the execution period of the END2 effect is the same as the execution period of the END1 effect (for example, all 20 games). In such a case, the ending effect can be executed until the end of the advantageous state by configuring the ending effect to be executed first.

  In the above description, when the start condition for the other ending effect is satisfied while the ending effect for which the start condition is satisfied is executed, the ending effect that is already being executed is maintained. It has been described that the confusion caused by the other ending effect is prevented by adopting the above-described configuration. Furthermore, by making the execution period of the already executed ending effect shorter than the execution period of the other ending effect, the end condition of an advantageous state corresponding to the other ending effect can be established during the already executed ending effect. The configuration has been described in which the ending effect that has already been executed is executed until the end of the advantageous state without being established. With regard to this configuration, it is only necessary that the ending effect that has already been executed ends before the end condition of the advantageous state corresponding to the other ending effect is satisfied, and the execution period of the other ending effect is as described above. It is not limited to examples.

[[Switching scenes in continuous production]]
In the present embodiment, for example, a continuous effect may be executed when a predecessor period is reached by winning the condition device numbers 25 to 28 (for example, the predecessor effect in FIG. 38). Continuous production is used in the scene. Here, the ending effects in the operation examples of FIGS. 49 and 50 are effects in which a plurality of scenes are switched, but such a configuration for switching a plurality of scenes can also be applied to other continuous effects. Hereinafter, switching conditions in such a continuous effect will be described with reference to the drawings. 52, 53, and 54 are diagrams showing an example of switching scenes of the continuous effect A that includes five scenes. In these examples, the switching conditions for each scene are different.

  FIG. 52 shows an example in which the continuous effect A is executed from the third game to the tenth game in response to the internal winning of the chance game (condition device number 25) in the second game. In this example, the switching condition for each scene is set by the number of games, and in order from the scene 1, there are two games, two games, two games, one game, and one game. Note that the final number of games is the final scene end condition. In FIG. 52, it is shown that the next scene is switched over as the number of games described above progresses, and that the continuous effect A is executed over a total of eight games.

  FIG. 53 shows an example in which the continuous effect A is executed from the third game to the tenth game in response to the internal winning of the weak cherry (condition device number 26) in the second game. In this example, the switching condition for each scene is set by the number of games, and in order from the scene 1, there are one game, one game, two games, three games, and one game. Note that the final number of games is the final scene end condition. In FIG. 53, it is shown that the next scene is switched over as the number of games described above progresses, and that the continuous effect A is executed over a total of eight games.

  FIG. 54 shows an example in which the continuous effect A is executed from the third game to the eleventh game in response to the internal winning of the strong cherry (condition device number 27) in the second game. In this example, the switching condition for each scene is out of the way (not winning a winning combination). It should be noted that the stop condition of the gap in the final scene is a condition for ending the continuous effect A. FIG. 53 shows that, in the fifth, sixth, and ninth games, the gap is not stopped and the scene cannot be switched in order to win the replay (condition device number 17). On the other hand, when the gap is stopped and displayed (3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 11th games), the above switching condition is satisfied, so that the next scene is switched (the final scene is the next effect). It is shown that the process is terminated by switching. In the example of FIG. 53, it is shown that the continuous effect A is executed over 9 games as a whole, but depending on the winning condition device, the effect over 5 games is executed at the shortest. .

  As described above, the examples in FIGS. 52 to 54 have a configuration in which the switching conditions are changed according to the difference in execution trigger (difference in the condition devices in the examples in FIGS. 52 to 54) for the continuous effects composed of a plurality of scenes. Adopted. With regard to this switching condition, the above example adopts a configuration in which the scene is switched based on the number of games and stop display (winning winning combination). .

  Further, in the above example, a configuration in which a continuous effect is executed based on an internal winning combination is adopted, but other conditions are not limited to the internal winning combination and may be triggered by a continuous effect.

  In the above example, the configuration of switching in units of scenes has been described. However, a configuration of switching in units (hereinafter referred to as parts) that can be switched in effects switched at a certain number of games may be adopted. Further, the effects in each part may be repeatedly executed until they are switched, or the last scene may be continuously displayed, and the contents thereof are not limited. For example, a part having a length corresponding to the number of games for each scene is prepared in the example of FIG. 52, and this part is also used in the same scene in the example of FIG. At this time, if the period of the scene of FIG. 54 is longer than that of the scene of FIG. 52, the same part may be repeatedly executed.

  As in the example of FIGS. 52 to 54 described above, when a configuration in which the same continuous performance is executed under different switching conditions depending on the case is employed, a change (sharpness) can be applied even if the same continuous performance is performed. In the examples of FIGS. 52 to 54, the above switching condition corresponds to the trigger (condition device) of continuous performance, but the configuration may not be associated. In the configuration in which the switching condition is associated with the trigger for the continuous performance, the trigger for the continuous performance can be grasped from the state in which the continuous performance is switched, and the interest of the game may be improved.

  52 and 53, the number of games in each scene is constant. In the example in FIG. 54, the number of games in each scene is not constant. When these configurations are combined, an unexpected behavior can be shown to a player who thinks that a certain scene will be executed for a certain number of games, and it can be expected to improve the interest of the game. .
