The upper part of the housing 1b is provided with a main control unit 10 that controls the game in an integrated manner, and a sub-control unit 20 that performs control related to game effects and the like under the control of the main control unit 10.
The central portion of the housing 1b is provided with a drum unit 4 that is an example of variable display means and that rotates the reel 41. The drum unit 4 includes a reel 41a, a reel 41b, and a reel 41c arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction. The reels 41a to 41c are configured to be rotatable by driving a stepping motor (not shown). In addition, a plurality of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 41a to 41c according to a predetermined arrangement. When the reel 41 is stopped, a predetermined number (for example, three) of the reels 41a to 41c is consecutive. Is visible through the display window 6.
In addition, a medal payout device 7 for paying out medals and a hopper 7a for storing medals are provided at the lower part of the housing 1b. It is paid out to the player through the medal payout exit 7b.

Such a slot machine 1 is configured such that the main control unit 10 can execute the following slot machine games.
At the start of the game, the number of bets is set using medals (including credit medals).
There are two methods for setting the number of bets: a method in which medals are directly inserted from the medal insertion slot 2 and a method in which the bet button 2a is pressed.

In the method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 and setting the number of bets, a bet corresponding to the number of inserted medals is detected by detecting the inserted medals by the medal selector 2b provided on the back of the front door 1a. The number (however, the upper limit is the number of bets “3” corresponding to three medals) is set.
The upper limit of the bet number may be “1”, “2”, or “4” or more.

The bet button 2a is an example of an operation unit that can accept the player's operation related to the setting of the bet number. When the bet button 2a is pressed, a predetermined number (for example, a credit medal is internally stored as data). 3 medals) are subtracted, and the subtracted amount is set as the bet number.
The bet buttons are not limited to the bet buttons 2a, and a plurality of bet buttons having different set bet numbers can be provided. The credit medals are added when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 2 or a prize is received. For example, up to 50 medals can be credited (stored).

In this way, the number of bets set by direct insertion from the medal insertion slot 2 or by pressing the bet button 2a is stored in a storage means such as a RAM provided in the main control unit 10.
Then, when the number of bets reaches a predetermined number (for example, 3), the game can be started with the right to execute one game.
In a state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 3 is valid. In this effective state, when the start lever 3 is tilted, the game is started, the reels 41a to 41c represented by a plurality of symbols start to change, and a plurality of winning combinations such as a replay combination and a small combination An internal lottery process for determining the lottery result of the current game before the reel 41 is stopped is executed (the winning combination determining unit).

Each reel 41a-41c has, for example, "replay", "bell", "watermelon", "cherry", as a plurality of (usually 21) symbols serving as identification information on the peripheral surface of each reel 41a-41c. “7”, “BAR”, and the like are respectively shown, and after reaching a steady rotation that rotates at a constant speed after gradually increasing the rotation speed from the stop state.
When such a steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 5a to 5c provided corresponding to the reels 41a to 41c can be pressed.

  The stop buttons 5a to 5c are an example of a stop operation means for performing a stop operation of the reel 41. For example, a light emitting means such as an LED built in the stop buttons 5a to 5c is turned on in a state where the operation can be performed. Thus, when each stop button 5 is pressed in such a state, the reels 41a to 41c are controlled to stop so as to stop at a combination of symbols permitted by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process. Is done.

In the stop state, the three symbols continuous in the vertical direction shown on the reels 41a to 41c are stopped so as to face the outside from the display window 6 (sometimes referred to as stop display). Based on this, it is determined whether or not there is a prize.
The determination of winning is based on a combination of symbols stopped on a predetermined winning line. For example, the winning is stopped on any one of five winning lines including three upper, middle, and lower lines and two diagonal lines. When a combination of symbols determined based on the combination of symbols and stopped is a combination corresponding to a winning combination, a winning is established.
Note that the number of winning lines is not limited to five, but may be an arbitrary number of lines such as one.

The combinations of symbols to be determined include “bell bell bell” (bell role) in the order of “left reel 41a, middle reel 41b, right reel 41c” as symbol combinations corresponding to “small role”, There are "cherry, ANY, ANY" (acting as cherry, where ANY is any pattern), "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon" (serving as watermelon).
The cherry role includes “weak cherry” where the “cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower stage of the left reel 41a, and “strong cherry” where the “cherry” symbol stops at the middle stage of the left reel 41a.
Also, for the watermelon role, the “watermelon” symbol stops on the diagonal line of the winning line, and the “watermelon” symbol stops on the upper, middle, and lower parallel lines of the winning line. There is a “strong watermelon” to do.
In the following description, the cherry role and the watermelon role are also collectively referred to as “rare role”.

The bell combination includes a “common bell” in which a combination of symbols is arranged regardless of an operation order (referred to as a pressing order) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c, and a “push order bell” in which a combination of symbols is arranged by following the pressing order.
The push order bells are provided with push order bells 1 to 6 corresponding to each of the six push orders, and the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in the operation order corresponding to each of the push order bells 1 to 6, respectively. By doing so, the symbol is stopped and displayed.

In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay role (“replay / replay / replay”), “normal replay” in which the symbol combinations are aligned regardless of the pressing order, and “push order replay” in which the symbol combinations are aligned according to the pressing order. There is.
The “push order replay” provides push order replays 1 to 6 corresponding to the respective six push orders, and the stop buttons 5a to 5c in the operation order corresponding to each of the push order replays 1 to 6 being won. The symbol is stopped and displayed by operating.
In addition, the replay combination includes “promotion replay” corresponding to a combination of symbols related to transition from non-RT to RT, and “falling replay” corresponding to a combination of symbols related to transition from RT to non-RT. For these winning roles, the pressing order is associated. For example, regarding “promotion replay”, “promotion replay” related to the transition from non-RT to RT by one of the six pressing orders. The corresponding symbol combination is stopped, and for “falling replay”, there is a symbol combination corresponding to “falling replay” related to the transition from RT to non-RT according to five of the six pressing sequences. Stop.
Further, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination makes it possible to play a game without inserting medals in the next game, that is, without spending medals.

Then, as a result of determining the combination of symbols stopped on the winning line, when the symbol combination is a combination of symbols corresponding to each of the above, a game value corresponding to the symbol combination is given.
For example, when a combination of symbols corresponding to a small role such as a bell role, a cherry role, or a watermelon role is stopped, a small role winning is determined, and the medal payout device 7 is driven and controlled, whereby a hopper 7a in which medals are stored is stored. A predetermined number of medals are paid out through the medal payout opening 7b.
Specifically, eight medals are paid out when the symbol combination corresponding to the bell combination is stopped, and five medals are paid out when the symbol combination corresponding to the watermelon combination is stopped.
In the cherry role, two medals are paid out when the symbol combination corresponding to “weak cherry” is stopped, and one medal is paid out when the symbol combination corresponding to “strong cherry” is stopped.
The winning probability of each winning combination is “replay”> “bell role”> “weak watermelon”> “weak cherry”> “strong watermelon”> “strong cherry” in each gaming state, that is, “replay” "Is the most easily won, and" strong cherry "is the most difficult to win.

  FIG. 5B shows a display of an operation image exemplified as a first operation image or a second operation image that prompts an operation on the effect handle 13 (first operation display or second operation display). The display includes a part display 81b which is a part of the slot machine 1 including the effect handle 13 as the first range or the second range and represents the periphery of the display window 6, the stepped portion, and the decorative panel P, and “turn!” And an arrow indicating the position of the effect handle 13 in the slot machine 1 are displayed.

  FIG. 5C shows an operation image display (second operation display) exemplified as a second operation image that prompts the user to operate the large effect button 14. A part display 81c representing the entire slot machine 1 including the large effect button 14, a message “Press!”, And an arrow indicating the position of the large effect button 14 in the slot machine 1 (lower right in FIG. 5C) Then, an arrow indicating the position of the actual large effect button 14 (lower left in FIG. 5C) is displayed.

  Note that the images used for the site displays 81a to 81c may be real photographs (for example, the site display 81c is a picture of the housing), an illustration (for example, the site display 81c is an illustration of the housing), or the like.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation display that prompts the operation of each of the effect buttons 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14, which are operation means, is prior to informing the lottery winning result that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the interest in operation display.

In addition, the display of the operation image that prompts the user to operate the effect button 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14 has the following differences in display modes.
Specifically, in the part display 81, the entire slot machine 1 is displayed or a part thereof is displayed, and if a part thereof is displayed, whether the range is wide or narrow, The display range of the slot machine 1 displayed on the part display 81 is different.
For example, in the operation image including the large effect button 14 illustrated in FIG. 5C, the entire slot machine 1 is represented in the part display 81 c, and thus the operation image including the effect button 12 illustrated in FIG. The range of the slot machine 1 displayed on the part display 81 is wider than the part display 81a and the part display 81b of the operation image including the effect handle 13 shown in FIG.
A similar tendency can be applied to FIGS. 5A and 5B, and the region display 81b of the operation image including the effect handle 13 shown in FIG. 5B is shown in FIG. The range of the slot machine 1 displayed on the part display 81 is wider than the part display 81a of the operation image including the effect button 12 shown. That is, the region display 81c shown in FIG. 5C is the widest and has a relationship of 81c>81b> 81a.

Then, it is preferable to correlate the width (somewhat) of the part display 81 with the winning result of the lottery that is advantageous to the player.
For example, it is preferable to set so that the greater the display range of the slot machine 1 displayed in the part display 81, the higher the expected degree of winning.

[Game state]
In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 has a plurality of gaming states controlled by the main control unit 10 (gaming state control means).
As the gaming state, for example, there are a normal gaming state and a specific gaming state. The normal gaming state is a disadvantageous gaming state for a player who is difficult to increase medals, and the specific gaming state is likely to increase medals. The gaming state is advantageous to the player.

[Normal gaming state]
The normal gaming state is a gaming state that stays when the power is turned on accompanied by operation of a predetermined initialization switch or the like, and is a gaming state that occupies most of the games in the slot machine 1.
In the normal gaming state, a lottery is performed with a transition to the specific gaming state (ART).
Specifically, in the internal lottery process, an ART lottery will be held in response to a rare role ("weak cherry", "weak watermelon", "strong watermelon" and "strong cherry"). If this happens, the normal gaming state is shifted to ART.
The main control unit 10 functions as a privilege granting means, and grants a privilege called ART to the player based on the establishment of such a predetermined condition (rare role winning).
The winning probability of ART has a relationship of “strong cherry”> “strong watermelon”> “weak cherry”> “weak watermelon”, and the winning role that is difficult to win in the internal lottery process is the expected degree of winning of ART Is set to be high.
For example, if you win “strong cherry”, you win with a probability of 30%. If you win “strong watermelon”, you win with a probability of 25% and you win “weak cherry”. When winning with a probability of 3% and winning “weak watermelon”, it is set to win with a probability of 2% (see FIG. 6).

[Predictor]
In the normal gaming state, the display effect is executed on the display device 8 in order to increase the expectation of the transition to ART with the winning of the rare role.
The sign production is broadly divided into a first half sign production and a second half sign production, and the main control unit 10 controls the sub-control unit 20 on the number of games in the first half sign production, the number of games in the second half sign production, the winning information of ART, and the like. The information is transmitted and executed on the display 8 regardless of whether the ART lottery is won or not.
Further, during the sign production, a sound effect corresponding to the sign production is output from the speaker 9, and lighting corresponding to the sign production is performed by the lamp 11.

The first half precursor effect is an effect that is executed for a plurality of game periods (for example, five games) such as the main character appears for a moment and disappears immediately, and the player has a higher expectation for the occurrence of the ART precursor effect. It is done.
In addition, the number of games for which the first half warning effect is performed may be such that when the ART is won, a larger number of games may be selected more easily than in the case of non-winning.

The second half sign effect is an effect that is executed following the first half sign effect and notifies information (specific information) indicating whether or not the ART is won. Specifically, a continuous effect is executed over a plurality of games (for example, three games), and is ended after the third reel stop operation of the third game.
Here, the third reel refers to the reel that has been stopped for the third time, which is the last when the stop operation of the three reels 41a to 41c is performed three times (second number). Say.
Similarly, the first reel refers to a reel that has been stopped when the stop operation is performed once (first number) among the three reels 41a to 41c, and the second reel refers to three reels. Of the reels 41a to 41c, when the stop operation is performed twice (the first number or the second number), it means the reel that has been stopped for the second time.
Further, “after the third reel stop operation” means after the player releases his / her finger or the like from the stop button 5 which has been operated to stop the third reel.

In addition, there are a plurality of types of effects as the sign of the second half, and in the game that is won as a rare role, continuous effects A, continuous effects B, and continuous effects C (hereinafter collectively referred to as continuous effects (specific effects)). 1) is determined.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when ART is won, continuous performance A is selected with a probability of 30%, continuous performance B is selected with a probability of 40%, and continuous performance C is selected with a probability of 30%. Determined. On the other hand, if the ART is not won, the continuous effect A is selected with a probability of 50%, the continuous effect B is selected with a probability of 40%, and the continuous effect C is selected with a probability of 10%.

Since each continuous effect is determined with such a probability, the degree of expectation for the ART winning when each continuous effect is selected can be calculated as follows.
The expected winning degree of ART when each continuous production is selected is calculated as the ratio of the selection rate at the time of winning to the total selection rate at the time of winning and not winning, specifically, the selection rate at the time of winning ÷ It is calculated by (selection rate at winning + selection rate at non-winning).
For example, when “continuous effect A” is selected, the expected winning degree of ART is 37.5% (30 × 100 / (30 + 50)).
Further, when “continuous effect B” is selected, the expected winning degree of ART is 50% (40 × 100 / (40 + 40)).
Further, when “continuous effect C” is selected, the ART winning expectation degree is 75% (30 × 100 / (30 + 10)).
That is, the expected winning degree of ART has a relationship of continuous effect C> continuous effect B> continuous effect A.

In addition, although the determination of the continuous production in the second half sign production is performed regardless of whether the ART is won or not, it is not limited to this. For example, when the ART is won, the continuous production is always decided. On the other hand, if the ART is not won, the continuous effect may be determined with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%).
Further, when the ART is won or when the ART is not won, the second half precursor effect may be executed without performing the first half precursor effect with a predetermined probability.
Moreover, you may be made to perform a continuous production | presentation during the precursor production | presentation as one precursor production | presentation, without distinguishing a first-half precursor production | presentation and a second-half precursor production.

In addition, the main control unit 10 first determines all the contents of the effect in the continuous effect determined as the sign of the second half in the game won for the rare role before the effect is executed.
Hereinafter, the production contents determined by the main control unit 10 will be described in the order of the continuous production A, the continuous production B, and the continuous production C.

When the continuous effect A is determined, the type of “continuous effect” (hereinafter also referred to as “NEXT effect”) to be executed in the first game and the second game among the continuous effects A that are continued for three games is determined. (Advance notice type determination process).
The continuous effect is an effect for notifying that the continuous effect A will continue in the next game, and the easy-to-select effects differ depending on whether the ART is won or not.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when ART is won, “NEXT” is selected with a probability of 50%, “NEXT chance” is selected with a probability of 45%, and “NEXT “Heat” is selected with a probability of 4%, and “NEXT confirmation” is selected with a probability of 1%.
On the other hand, when the ART is not selected, “NEXT” is selected with a probability of 80% as a continuous performance, “NEXT chance” is selected with a probability of 19%, and “NEXT intense heat” is selected with a probability of 1%. Is selected, and “NEXT confirmation” is not selected.

Since each continuation effect is determined with such a probability, the expected winning degree of ART when each continuation effect is selected can be calculated by the selection rate at winning ÷ (selection rate at winning + selection rate at non-winning) For example, when “NEXT confirmation” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 100% (= 1 × 100 / (1 + 0)).
Further, when “NEXT intense heat” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 80% (= 4 × 100 / (4 + 1)).
Further, when “NEXT chance” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 70.3% (= 45 × 100 / (45 + 19)).
Further, when “NEXT” is selected, the expected ART expectation is 38.4% (= 50 × 100 / (50 + 80)).
That is, the winning expectation degree of ART has a relationship of NEXT confirmation> NEXT intense heat> NEXT chance> NEXT.
The details of the effect contents in the continuous effect A will be described later.

When the continuous effect B is determined, the main control unit 10 determines the type of continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game among the continuous effects B that are continued for three games (determination type determination). processing).
As the continuous effects that can be selected for the first game of the continuous effect B, “NEXT”, “NEXT Chance”, “NEXT Intense Heat”, and “NEXT Confirmation” are selected / non-selected for the ART, as in the case of the continuous effect A described above. It is selected according to the winning (see FIG. 8).

In addition to “NEXT”, “NEXT Chance”, “NEXT Intense Heat”, “NEXT Confirmation”, “NEXT Button” is a winning / non-winning ART selection. It is selected according to. That is, the point that the “NEXT button” is selected is different from the continuous performance A.
The “NEXT button” is a continuation effect for notifying that an operation image prompting an operation to the operation means is displayed in the third game of the next game, that is, the continuous effect B.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when ART is won, “NEXT” is selected with a probability of 20% as a continuous performance, “NEXT chance” is selected with a probability of 45%, and “NEXT “Heat” is selected with a probability of 4%, “NEXT confirmation” is selected with a probability of 1% and determined, and “NEXT button” is selected with a probability of 30% and determined.
On the other hand, when the ART is not selected, “NEXT” is selected with a probability of 50% as a continuous performance, “NEXT chance” is selected with a probability of 28%, and “NEXT intense heat” is with a probability of 2%. “NEXT button” is selected with a probability of 20%, and “NEXT confirmation” is not selected.

Since each continuation effect is determined with such a probability, the expected winning degree of ART when each continuation effect is selected is calculated by the selection rate at the time of winning / (selection rate at the time of winning + selection rate at the time of non-winning) For example, when “NEXT confirmation” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 100% (= 1 × 100 / (1 + 0)).
Further, when “NEXT intense heat” is selected, the winning expectation degree of ART is 66.6% (= 4 × 100 / (4 + 2)).
Further, when “NEXT chance” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 61.6% (= 45 × 100 / (45 + 28)).
Further, when “NEXT” is selected, the ART's winning expectation is 28.5% (= 20 × 100 / (20 + 50)).
Further, when the “NEXT button” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 60% (= 30 × 100 / (30 + 20)).
In other words, the expected expectation level of ART has a relationship of NEXT confirmation> NEXT intense heat> NEXT chance> NEXT button> NEXT.

Furthermore, when the “NEXT button” is selected in the second game of the continuous effect B, a “cut-in effect” effect pattern that suggests the degree of expected ART winning that can be executed in the next game (third game) is displayed. Determine (cut-in effect determination process).
The cut-in effect is an effect that is executed in place of the effect that is executed on the display device 8, and is executed when the operation means is operated, and is executed for a predetermined time (for example, about 1 second). Display an image.

“Weak cut-in”, “medium cut-in”, and “strong cut-in” are provided as production patterns of cut-in effects, and the easy-to-select effects vary depending on whether the ART is won or not.
The ART winning expectation degree of each production pattern has a relationship of “weak cut-in” <“intermediate cut-in” <“strong cut-in”, and based on this relationship, an image production on the display 8 (for example, The image size is set in the order of “strong cut-in”, “medium cut-in”, and “weak cut-in”), sound effects by the speaker 9, lighting by the lamp 11, and the like are set to be different.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when ART is won, “weak cut-in” is selected with a probability of 10%, “medium cut-in” is selected with a probability of 40%, and “strong cut-in” is selected. “In” is selected and determined with a probability of 50%.
On the other hand, if ART is not selected, “weak cut-in” is selected with a probability of 50%, “medium cut-in” is selected with a probability of 40%, and “strong cut-in” is selected with a probability of 10%. Selected and determined.
The details of the effect contents in the continuous effect B will be described later.

When the continuous effect C is determined, the main control unit 10 performs the following processes (1) to (3).
(1) The type of continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game is determined.
(2) The operation means that emits light in the first game and the second game is determined.
(3) The operation pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) of the door member 15 that operates in the third game is determined.

(1) Determining the type of continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game When the continuous effect C is determined, it is executed in the first game and the second game in the continuous effect C in which three games are continued. The type of continuous production to be performed is determined (notice type determination process).
At this time, the types of continuous effects that can be selected in the first game and the second game are different from the continuous effects A and B described above.
Specifically, “NEXT button”, “NEXT handle”, and “NEXT large button” are selected according to the selection / non-win of ART as continuous effects that can be selected in the first game of continuous effect C. .
These continuation effects are effects for notifying the next game that an operation image prompting an operation to the operation means is displayed. When the “NEXT button” is selected, the effect button 12 is displayed in the next game. When an operation image for prompting an operation is displayed and “NEXT handle” is selected, an operation image for prompting an operation to the effect handle 13 is displayed in the next game, and when “NEXT large button” is selected. In the next game, an operation image that prompts an operation to the large effect button 14 is displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the ART is won, the “NEXT button” is selected with a probability of 50%, the “NEXT handle” is selected with a probability of 35%, and the “NEXT large button” is selected. Are selected and determined with a probability of 15%.
On the other hand, if the ART is not selected, the “NEXT button” is selected with a probability of 80%, the “NEXT handle” is selected with a probability of 15%, and the “NEXT large button” is selected with a probability of 5%. It is determined.

Since each continuation effect is determined with such a probability, the expected degree of winning of ART when each continuation effect is selected is: ART winning expectation degree = selection rate at win / (selection rate at win + non-winning) For example, when the “NEXT button” is selected, the ART winning expectation degree is 38.4% (= 50 × 100 / (50 + 80)).
Further, when “NEXT handle” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 70% (= 35 × 100 / (35 + 15)).
Further, when the “NEXT large button” is selected, the ART winning expectation is 75% (= 15 × 100 / (15 + 5)).
That is, the winning expectation level of ART has a relationship of NEXT large button> NEXT handle> NEXT button.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the large effect button 14 is the widest with respect to the operation region, and the large effect button 14> the effect handle 13> the effect button 12 has a relationship. The person who is operated is set so that the winning expectation degree of ART is higher.

As a continuation effect that can be selected in the second game of the continuous effect C, “NEXT handle” and “NEXT large button” are selected according to whether the ART is won or not.
When “NEXT handle” is selected in the first game, “NEXT handle” or “NEXT large button” is selected in the second game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the ART is won, “NEXT handle” is selected with a probability of 50%, and “NEXT large button” is selected with a probability of 50%.
On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the “NEXT handle” is selected with a probability of 90%, and the “NEXT large button” is selected with a probability of 10%.
Thus, even in the second game, the ART winning expectation when each continuation effect is selected has a relationship of NEXT large button> NEXT handle.
When the “NEXT large button” is selected in the first game, the “NEXT large button” is always selected even in the second game regardless of whether the ART is won or not (see FIG. 13).

(2) Determining operation means for emitting light in the first game and the second game When the continuous effect C is determined, the operation means for emitting light in the first game and the second game of the continuous effect C is determined.
Specifically, the operation means for emitting light is determined based on the type of continuous effect determined in the aforementioned notice type determination process.
For example, when the “NEXT button” is selected as the continuation effect, as shown in FIG. 14, the “effect button” or the “effect handle” can be selected according to the winning / non-winning of the ART. In the case of winning, the “production button” is selected with a probability of 99%, and the “production handle” is selected with a probability of 1%. On the other hand, if the ART is not won, the “production button” is always selected.
Further, when “NEXT handle” is selected as the continuation effect, as shown in FIG. 15, when the ART is won, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 1%. The “handle” is selected with a probability of 98%, and the “large effect button” is selected with a probability of 1%. On the other hand, if the ART is not won, the “production handle” is always selected.
Further, when “NEXT large button” is selected as the continuation effect, when “ART button” is selected as shown in FIG. 16, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 2%. “Handle” is selected with a probability of 2%, and “Large production button” is selected with a probability of 96%. On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the “large effect button” is always selected.

As described above, the type of the continuous effect determined in the notice type determination process and the type of the operating means for emitting light basically match, but may not match when the ART is won.
As a result, when the operation means included in the operation image does not match the operation means that emits light, the ART winning is confirmed, so that the player can be focused on the operation image and the operation means, and the interest is enhanced. Can do.

(3) Determine the movement pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) of the door member 15 that operates in the third game. If the continuous effect C is determined, the operation is performed in the third game of the continuous effect C. The number of movements of the door member 15 is determined.
Specifically, the number of movements of the door member 15 is determined in accordance with the continuation effect selected in the second game, that is, the type of operation image displayed in the third game and the selection / non-winning of ART.
For example, in the case where ART is not won, as shown in FIG. 17, when the “effect button” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 90% and 10%. The number of movements “2” is selected with probability.
In addition, when “Production handle” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 10%, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 80%, and the probability of 10%. The number of movements “3” is selected.
When the “large effect button” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 70%, the movement number “3” is selected with a probability of 29%, and the probability of 1% The number of movements “4” is selected.

On the other hand, when the ART is won, as shown in FIG. 18, when the “effect button” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 80%, and 19% The movement number “2” is selected with the probability of “1”, and the movement number “4” is selected with the probability of 1%.
In addition, when “production handle” is selected as the continuous production, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 10%, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 70%, and the probability of 18%. The movement number “3” is selected, and the movement number “4” is selected with a probability of 2%.
Further, when the “large effect button” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 40%, the movement number “3” is selected with a probability of 50%, and the probability of 10%. The number of movements “4” is selected.
In the example shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the number of movements of the door member 15 is “1” or more, and the door member 15 always moves in the third game of the continuous effect C. Not limited to this, the door member 15 may not move. For example, “0” may be provided for the number of movements regardless of whether the ART is won or not.

Thus, the probability that a large number of door members 15 are actuated (moved) is increased when an operation image including an operation means having a wide operation area is displayed.
Here, “many” of “move many door members 15” indicates, for example, the maximum number of movable door members 15, and as shown in FIG. 17, an “effect button” is selected. The maximum number that can be moved is “2”, and when the “production handle” is selected, the maximum number that can be moved is “3” and the “large production button” is selected. The maximum number of movable objects is “4”, and there is a relationship of large effect button 14> large effect handle 13> effect button 12.
Further, the “large number” may be an average value of the number of movable door members 15. As shown in FIG. 18, when the “effect button” is selected, the average value is “1.22” ( 90 × 1 + 19 × 2 + 0 × 3 + 1 × 4) / 100), and when “production handle” is selected, the average value is “2.12” (10 × 1 + 70 × 2 + 18 × 3 + 2 × 4) / 100) When the “large effect button” is selected, the average value is “2.70” (0 × 1 + 40 × 2 + 50 × 3 + 10 × 4) / 100). > Large production handle 13> Production button 12
As described above, the larger the operation area of the operating means to be operated, the more impact effects can be achieved by operating (moving) a large number of door members 15. Therefore, the effect of operating the operating means is sufficient. Can be increased.
In addition, since the probability that the ART is won is higher as the operation area of the operating means to be operated is larger, the greater the number of moving door members 15, the higher the expected expectation of ART.

When the continuous effect C is determined, the movement position of the door member 15 that operates in the third game of the continuous effect C is determined.
As described above, the closed position as the movement position of the door member 15 is the third position (see FIG. 4C) where the display area of the display 8 is completely hidden, and the movement from the first position to the third position. A second position (see FIG. 4D) where a gap is formed such that the amount is small and the display area of the display 8 is not completely hidden is provided, and the door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb are closed. The position is determined according to whether the ART is won or not.
For example, when the ART is not won, the “second position” is selected with a probability of 60%, and the “third position” is selected with a probability of 40%.
On the other hand, when the ART is won, the “second position” is selected with a probability of 40%, and the “third position” is selected with a probability of 60%.
That is, the expected winning degree of ART has a relationship of third position> second position.
Note that the movement position of the door member 15 may be determined by determining one movement position for all the moving door members 15 or by determining the movement position for each of the moving door members 15.

When the continuous effect C is determined, the moving speed of the door member 15 that operates in the third game of the continuous effect C is determined.
Specifically, the moving speeds of the four door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, and 15Rb are determined.
A plurality of moving speeds of the door member 15 are provided, for example, a first speed that is a predetermined speed and a second speed that is higher than the first speed are provided, and the door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, The closing position of 15Rb is determined according to whether the ART is won or not.
For example, when the ART is not won, the “first speed” is selected with a probability of 60%, and the “second speed” is selected with a probability of 40%.
On the other hand, when the ART is won, the “first speed” is selected with a probability of 40%, and the “second speed” is selected with a probability of 60%.
That is, the winning expectation degree of ART has a relationship of second speed> first speed.
In addition, the movement speed of the door member 15 may be determined for one moving speed for all the moving door members 15, or may be determined for each moving door member 15.

In this way, the number of movements, movement positions, and movement speeds of the door member 15 can allow the player to recognize the level of expectation of winning the ART, and can increase the interest of the game.
The details of the content of the effect in the continuous effect C will be described later.

[Specific gaming state]
Next, ART as a specific gaming state will be described.
ART as a specific gaming state is a gaming state in which a game is executed in an advantageous manner for the player. A predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) is set as the initial number of games at the start, and the number of games is set every time the game is executed. Is subtracted, and when this number of games is exhausted, the ART ends.

In addition, the ART has a probability that the winning probability of the “replay role” is higher than the normal state, and when each of the “push order bells 1 to 6” or “push order replays 1 to 6” is won. This is a gaming state in which the AT for notifying the corresponding pressing order overlaps.
As an example of notification of the push order, for example, when “Push Order Bell 1” of “Push Order Bells 1 to 6” is selected, if the stop button 5 is operated in the order of “5a → 5b → 5c”, “ When the combination of symbols corresponding to “push order bell 1” (“bell bell bell”) stops, the combination of symbols (“bell bell bell”) is controlled by the main control unit 10 and the sub-control unit 20. Numerical information indicating the order in which the stop button 5 is operated is displayed on the display 8 as an image for stopping the operation. Further, the respective sounds are output from the speaker 9 in the order of “left”, “middle”, and “right”.

At this time, the navigation lamp 16 controlled by the sub-control unit 20 is turned on in the order of “16a → 16b → 16c” according to the operation of the stop button 5.
That is, the operation on the stop button 5 is navigated through notifying means such as the display 8, the speaker 9, and the navigation lamp 16.
On the other hand, when the “push order bells 1 to 6” are selected and the stop button is operated without following the above navigation, the combination of symbols corresponding to the “push order bells 1 to 6” is stopped. No 8 medals will be paid out.
This notification of the pressing order is the same when “Push Order Replays 1 to 6” are won during ART.

In the present embodiment, the push order display can also be performed on the 7-segment display portion 13a of the effect handle 13 instead of or in addition to the navigation lamp 16 and the display device 8. For example, “123”, “213”, and the like are displayed to notify the pressing order in which order the left, middle, and right reels 41a to 41c should be stopped.
The 7-segment display unit 13a is configured to display the push order LED by a 2-digit 7-segment display, and an identification symbol (number) corresponding to the push order is displayed in the first digit, and the winning role (bell role, Alternatively, an identification symbol (number) of the replay combination may be displayed in the second digit.

Next, the addition process performed during ART will be described.
During the ART, when a rare role is won in the internal lottery process, an “additional lottery” is performed in which a predetermined number is added to the number of ART games in the game where the rare role is won.
Further, for example, one game is played on the display 8 for “additional effect (specific effect)” for increasing the player's expectation that the number of ART games is added.
The extra effect is executed regardless of whether the extra lottery is won or not, and if the extra lottery is not won (when “0 game” is selected as the extra number of games), that effect will be indicated at the end of the extra effect. On the other hand, if the winning lottery is won (when a game other than “0 game” is selected as the number of added games), the number of games to be added at the end of the adding effect is displayed.
It should be noted that, instead of necessarily performing an extra effect, if the extra lottery is not won, the extra effect may be performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%).
Further, management of the extra lottery during the ART, the number of extra games, etc. is performed by the main control unit 10, and based on the transmission of the control command from the main control unit 10 to the sub control unit 20, the sub control unit 20 adds the extra during ART. Production display control is performed.

  In this embodiment, the “number of added games” will be described as an example as a privilege that can extend the duration of the ART. For example, the duration is determined by the number of winning of a predetermined winning combination (for example, a bell role). If specified, the number of additional bonuses that are added to the remaining number of small roles won during ART, or if the duration is specified by the number of medals earned (the number of payouts or the number of payouts), the remaining acquisition during ART It is good also as "the number of medals acquired by addition" etc. which are added to the number of medals.

In the addition process, the main control unit 10 executes the “addition effect determination process” shown in FIG. 19 in the game that has won the rare role.
In this processing, first, the main control unit 10 determines an extra lottery (hereinafter referred to as an extra game number lottery) for determining a privilege (number of extra games) that can extend the duration of the ART based on the selected rare role (winning role). (S1).

In the extra game number lottery, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, when “weak cherry” is won, “0 game” is selected with a probability of 60% and “10 game” is selected with a probability of 35%. Then, “30 games” is selected with a probability of 3%, “50 games” is selected with a probability of 1%, and “100 games” is selected with a probability of 1%.
In addition, when “strong cherry” is won, “10 games” is selected with a probability of 50%, “30 games” is selected with a probability of 40%, and “50 games” is selected with a probability of 5%. Then, “100 games” is selected with a probability of 5%.
In addition, when “weak watermelon” is won, “0 game” is selected with 90% probability, “30 game” is selected with 8% probability, and “50 game” is selected with 1% probability. Then, “100 games” is selected with a probability of 1%.
If “strong watermelon” is won, “0 game” is selected with a probability of 80%, “50 game” is selected with a probability of 10%, and “100 game” is selected with a probability of 10%. Is done.
The main control unit 10 functions as a privilege granting means, and grants a privilege called the number of added games (additional winning) to the player based on the establishment of such a predetermined condition (rare role winning). Then, the added number of added games is added (added) to the number of ART games, and the duration of the ART is extended.
Further, based on the determined number of added games, an effect for indicating an expected degree of addition to the player (expected degree effect display) and an effect for notifying the added game number (addition result display) are executed. .
When “0 game” is selected, it indicates that the extra lottery is not won.

Next, the main control unit 10 determines the disappearance timing of the operation image displayed in the extra effect (operation image disappearance timing determination processing) (S2).
In the extra effect, at the start of the game that won the rare role, an operation image prompting an operation to the operation means is displayed on the display 8 (see FIG. 27 and the like).
The operation image is displayed for a predetermined period after being displayed at the start of the game, and disappears if the operation means included in the operation image is operated within this period.
Further, the operation image disappears even when “stop operation of the stop button 5” or “next game start operation” is performed without operating the operation means included in the operation image. Note that “at the time of the next game start operation” indicates a time when the bet button 2a related to the start of the next game is operated.
That is, the operation image displayed in the superposition effect disappears immediately when the operation means included in the operation image is operated while the operation image is displayed, while the operation means included in the operation image is operated. Even if there is not, it is displayed until “stop operation of stop button 5” or “next game start operation” is performed, and disappears when these operations are performed.

Therefore, in S2 of the process, the “stop operation of the stop button 5” or the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) included in the operation image is not displayed during the display of the operation image displayed in the addition effect. The disappearance timing of the operation image when the “next game start operation” is performed is determined.
Specifically, the disappearance timing of the operation image is determined based on the number of added games determined in “Additional game number lottery (S1)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the added game number is “0 game”, “at the time of first reel stop operation” is selected as the disappearance timing with a probability of 90%, and “second” is selected with a probability of 10%. “Reel operation” is selected, and “third reel stop operation” and “next game start operation” are not selected.
When the number of added games is “10 games”, “when the first reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 70%, and “when the second reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 30%. “At the time of the third reel stop operation” and “at the time of the next game start operation” are not selected.
When the number of added games is “30 games”, “when the first reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “when the second reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 65%. With the probability of%, “when the third reel stop operation is performed” is selected, and “when the next game start operation is performed” is not selected.
When the number of added games is “50 games”, “when the first reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 5%, “when the second reel is stopped” is selected with a probability of 20%, and 65 % At the time of “third reel stop operation” is selected, and “at the time of the next game start operation” is selected with a probability of 10%.
When the number of added games is “100 games”, “when the third reel stop operation” is selected with a probability of 50%, “when the next game start operation” is selected with a probability of 50%, “At the time of one reel stop operation” and “at the time of second reel stop operation” are not selected.
Thus, as the number of added games determined in the added game number lottery increases, the probability that the operation image disappears later from the start of the game becomes higher.
That is, the degree of expectation for the addition has a relationship of “at the time of the next game start operation”> “at the time of the third reel stop operation”> “at the time of the second reel stop operation”> “at the time of the first reel stop operation” The greater the number of reel stop operations, the higher the expectation of the addition.

Next, the main control unit 10 expects an additional degree when the stop button 5 or the bet button 2a is operated at the disappearance timing determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process (S2)” while the operation image is displayed. The effect pattern (privilege grant information) of the expectation degree effect which suggests is determined (non-operation expectation degree effect determination process) (S3).
“Weak production”, “Medium production”, “Strong production”, and “Strong production” are provided as the production patterns of the expected degree production, and the expected degree of addition of each production pattern is “strongest production”> “strong” “Direction”> “Medium production”> “Weak production”. Further, in accordance with this relationship, an effect capable of recognizing the level of expectation is performed by an image effect on the display 8, a sound effect by the speaker 9, lighting by the lamp 11, and the like.

Specifically, the effect pattern is determined based on the number of added games determined in the “added game number lottery (S1)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 22, when the number of added games is “0 game”, “weak effect” is selected with a probability of 90%, “medium effect” is selected with a probability of 10%, and “strong” “Direction” and “Strongest production” are not selected.
When the number of added games is “10 games”, “weak production” is selected with a probability of 70%, “medium production” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “strong production” and “strongest production” are selected. Is not selected.
Further, when the number of added games is “30 games”, “weak production” is selected with a probability of 30%, “medium production” is selected with a probability of 65%, and “strong production” with a probability of 5%. Is selected, and “strongest performance” is not selected.
When the number of added games is “50 games”, “weak production” is selected with a probability of 5%, “during the second reel stop operation” is selected with a probability of 20%, and a probability of 75% is selected. “At the time of the third reel stop operation” is selected, and “strongest performance” is not selected.
Further, when the number of added games is “100 games”, “strong effect” is always selected with a probability of 100%, and “weak effect”, “medium effect”, and “strongest effect” are not selected.
As described above, the greater the number of added games determined in the added game number lottery, the higher the probability that an effect pattern with a higher expectation level for the added game will be selected.

Next, the main control unit 10 produces an effect (expected degree effect) that suggests the expected degree of addition when the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) included in the operation image is operated while the operation image is displayed. A pattern is determined (expected time production determination process during operation) (S4).
Specifically, the effect pattern (privilege grant information) is determined based on the disappearance timing determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process (S2)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 23, when the disappearance timing is “at the time of the first reel stop operation”, “weak effect” is selected with a probability of 70%, and “medium effect” is selected with a probability of 30%. “Strong production” and “strongest production” are not selected.
When the disappearance timing is “when the second reel is stopped”, “weak production” is selected with a probability of 40%, “medium production” is selected with a probability of 50%, and “ “Strong production” is selected, and “strongest production” is not selected.
In addition, when the disappearance timing is “when the third reel is stopped”, “weak effect” is selected with a probability of 10%, “medium effect” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “ “Strong production” is selected, and “strongest production” is not selected.
Also, when the disappearance timing is “next game start operation”, “strong effect” is selected with a probability of 70%, “strongest effect” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “weak effect” and “medium” are selected. “Direction” is not selected.
As described above, even when the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) is operated in accordance with the display of the operation image, as the disappearance timing progresses from the start of the game, that is, as the number of additional games determined increases, The probability that a production pattern with high expectation is selected is high.

Further, in the case of “when the operation means is operated while the operation image is displayed”, from the above-mentioned “when the stop button 5 is stopped or the next game start operation is performed without operating the operation means while the operation image is displayed”. However, a high degree of reliability has been suggested in the production of expectations.
For example, “when the stop button 5 is stopped or the next game start operation is performed without operating the operating means while the operation image is displayed”, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the case of “when the operation means is operated while the operation image is displayed”, “strongest effect” may be selected as the expectation effect as shown in FIG.
That is, in “when the operation means is operated according to the display of the operation image”, the “strongest effect” selected only when “50G” or “100G” is determined as the number of added games is executed. As the expectation of the addition, a more reliable suggestion will be given.
The contents of the extra effect will be described later.

Up to this point, the configuration of the slot machine 1, the gaming state, and the like have been described, but the following features of the slot machine in the present embodiment will be described in order.
(1) Continuous production during ART transition
(2) Additional production during ART

(1) Continuous production during ART transition
Next, with reference to FIGS. 24 to 26, the contents of the effect of the continuous effect will be described.
The continuous performance is performed by the display 8 under the control of the main control unit 10 and the sub-control unit 20, and is an effect for enhancing the player's expectation for shifting from the normal gaming state to ART. During the period, an effect is performed, and the ART winning result (specific information) is notified.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the production contents of each continuous production are all determined at the time of rare role winning, and the production is executed after the production content is decided.
Hereinafter, the continuous effect A, the continuous effect B, and the continuous effect C will be described in this order.

[Continuous production A]
FIG. 24 shows the flow of the effect of continuous effect A executed on the display device 8.
In the continuous effect A, an effect simulating a roulette game is performed, and a game in which the moving body image I moves on the roulette and stops at a predetermined position is performed once per game. The winning result of the ART lottery is notified according to "winning" or "losing").
Specifically, in the first game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, the moving body image I starts rotating on the roulette ((A) in FIG. 24), and based on the third reel stop operation. And stop.
Then, after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, a continuous effect (NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 24).
The continuous effect executed here is the type of continuous effect related to the first game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the aforementioned continuous effect A. In the example shown in FIG. 24, the continuous effect of the first game is executed. In this case, “NEXT chance” is selected.
In this way, the player's attention can be attracted by executing the continuation effect after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed since the moving body image I was stopped during the third reel stop operation.

In the second game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect (“NEXT chance”) executed in the first game is performed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 24C, two moving body images I start rotating on the roulette in a state where the moving body images I are increased to two. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 24, the second game has a higher degree of expectation that the moving body image I stops “winning” (ART winning expectation) than the first game.
Then, the two moving body images I are stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and further, a continuous effect is executed after a lapse of several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) from the third reel stop operation ((in FIG. 24 ( D)).
As the continuous effect executed here, the type of the continuous effect related to the second game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the continuous effect A described above is executed. In the example shown in FIG. The case where it is selected is shown.

In the third game, an effect corresponding to the continuation effect (“NEXT intense heat”) executed in the second game is performed based on the operation of the start lever 3.
For example, as shown in (E) of FIG. 24, the moving body image I starts rotating on the roulette in a state where the number of “hit” stop positions is increased to three. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 24, the third game has a higher degree of expectation that the moving object image I will stop “winning” (ART winning expectation) than the first game.
Then, the moving body image I is stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and further, the winning result of the ART lottery is notified after several seconds (for example, 4 seconds) have passed since the third reel stop operation.
In this way, unlike the first game and the second game, the third game is set to a longer time (4 seconds) from the third reel stop operation, and the ART lottery winning result is notified. To attract the attention of the player. The same applies to continuous production B and continuous production C, which will be described later.
At this time, if the ART is won, the moving body image I stops “winning” and the ART is notified that it is won ((F) in FIG. 24). On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the moving body image I stops “losing” and the ART is notified that it is not won ((G) in FIG. 24).
In the example shown in FIG. 24, the case where “NEXT chance” and “NEXT intense heat” are selected as the types of continuous effects is illustrated, but “NEXT” is selected as another continuous effect. For example, when the roulette game is executed with one moving body image I and one hit stop position and “NEXT confirmation” is selected, for example, one moving body image I and 4 The roulette game is executed in the state of the stop position where one hits.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the continuation effect (NEXT effect), which merely indicates the continuation of the effect in a normal gaming machine, is displayed differently depending on the winning expectation level of the ART. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
Note that the moving body image I may stop at the “winning” in the first game or the second game, not limited to the above-described effect contents. In this case, for example, an effect of celebrating the winning may be performed without executing the roulette game of the remaining games of the continuous effect, or an effect of stopping “winning” in the roulette game in the remaining games. You may go.
Further, the number of moving body images I and the number of hit stop positions may not change (the effect screen does not change) according to the type of continuous effect.

[Continuous production B]
FIG. 25 shows the flow of the effect of continuous effect B executed on the display 8.
The continuous effect B performs a battle effect in which the teammate character and the enemy character battle, and notifies the winning result of the ART lottery according to the victory or defeat of the teammate character.
Specifically, in the first game, on the basis of the operation of the start lever 3, a screen for displaying an enemy character that battles with an ally character is displayed, and a battle between the ally character and the enemy character is started (FIG. 25). (A)).
Then, based on the third reel stop operation, the battle is once ended, and the display is made such that the ally character and the enemy character confront each other. After several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 25).
The continuous effect executed here is the type of the continuous effect related to the first game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the aforementioned continuous effect B. In the example shown in FIG. 25, “NEXT chance” is selected. It has been shown.

In the second game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect (“NEXT chance”) executed in the first game is performed.
For example, as shown in (C) of FIG. 25, a battle is performed in which the teammate character makes a “strong attack (such as a deadly technique)” against the enemy character. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 25, the degree of expectation that the teammate character “wins” the battle (ART winning expectation) is higher than that in the first game.
Then, based on the third reel stop operation, the battle is once ended, and the display is made such that the teammate character and the enemy character confront each other. This is executed ((D) in FIG. 25).
As the continuous effect executed here, the type of the continuous effect related to the second game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the continuous effect B described above is executed. In the example shown in FIG. 25, the “NEXT button” is selected. It has been shown.

In the third game, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect (“NEXT button”) executed in the second game is performed based on the operation of the start lever 3.
For example, as shown in (E) of FIG. 25, an operation image that prompts an operation on the effect button 12 is displayed. At this time, while the effect button 12 emits light and the operation image is displayed, the fact that the operation is valid is notified by continuing to emit light.

When the effect button 12 is operated by the player while the operation image is displayed, a cut-in effect display is executed ((F) in FIG. 25). As described above, when the “NEXT button” is selected as the continuation effect of the second game, the cut-in effect display may be executed in the next game (third game).
The cut-in effect effect pattern executed here is the effect pattern (“weak cut-in”, “medium cut-in”, “strong cut-in”) determined in the “cut-in effect determination process” described above. The
Note that when an operation means (for example, the effect handle 13 or the large effect button 14) not included in the operation image is operated, the cut-in effect display may not be performed, or a fixed effect pattern (for example, , “Weak cut-in”) may be forcibly displayed to display a cut-in effect, and only when the operation means (effect button 12) included in the operation image is operated, the winning expectation level is accurately suggested. It may be.
In addition, when other than the “NEXT button” is selected as the continuation effect of the second game, the battle between the teammate character and the enemy character is performed during the period from the operation of the start lever 3 to the third reel stop operation. .

Next, the stop button 5 is operated, and after a few seconds (for example, 4 seconds) have passed since the third reel stop operation, the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
When the ART is won, the ART such as the image where the teammate character wins is informed that the ART character is won ((G) in FIG. 25). On the other hand, if the ART is not won, the ART such as the image that the teammate character is defeated is notified that it is not won ((H) in FIG. 25).

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a continuation effect (NEXT effect) that merely indicates continuation of the effect in a normal gaming machine is displayed, and an operation display that prompts an operation to the operation means is performed in the next game. By using it as an effect indicating that the game is being played, it is possible to make the player recognize the ART's winning expectation and to improve the interest of the game.

[Continuous production C]
FIG. 26 shows the flow of the effect of the continuous effect C executed on the display device 8.
The continuous effect C is an effect imitating a picture matching game, and a facial part image displayed on a variable display unit (upper display unit, middle display unit, lower display unit) divided into three once per game. Whether or not the face image of the character is completed when three face part images are arranged in the vertical direction (the same as the face image on the upper right in FIG. 26A). Depending on whether or not an image is displayed, the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
Specifically, in the first game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, the three face part images on the fluctuation display section start to fluctuate ((A) in FIG. 26).
Further, based on the operation of the start lever 3 of the first game, the operation means corresponding to the type of continuous effect determined to be executed in the first game emits light for a predetermined time (for example, about 1 second). It is supposed to do.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the effect handle 13 corresponding to the “NEXT handle” determined as the continuation effect of the first game emits light for a moment and the effect that the effect button 12 is operated is given to the player. Announcement is made so that it can be visually recognized (prior notice).
Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that an effect using the operation means that emits light will be performed in the subsequent games, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Next, during the change of the change display unit, the face part images of the upper display unit, the middle display unit, and the lower display unit are sequentially stopped based on the first reel to third reel stop operation. Then, after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, a continuous effect (NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 26).
The continuous effect executed here is the type of the continuous effect related to the first game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the above-described continuous effect C. In the example shown in FIG. 26, “NEXT handle” is selected. It has been shown.

In the second game, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect (“NEXT handle”) executed in the first game is performed based on the operation of the start lever 3.
For example, as shown in (C) of FIG. 26, an operation image that prompts an operation to the effect handle 13 is displayed.
In addition, based on the operation of the start lever 3, the operation means corresponding to the type of continuous effect determined to be executed in the second game emits light for a predetermined time (for example, about 1 second).
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the large effect button 14 corresponding to the “NEXT large button” determined as the continuous effect of the second game emits light for a moment.
When the large effect button 14 finishes emitting light, the effect handle 13 emits light to notify that the operation is valid.
Thus, since the operation means that emits light is switched corresponding to the content of the effect, the player can be focused on the operation image and the operation means, and the interest can be enhanced.

Next, when the effect handle 13 is operated by the player during the display of the operation image, an effect with a high expectation (ART winning expectation) (for example, an effect in which the fluctuations of the three variable display parts are reversely rotated). ) Is executed ((D) in FIG. 26).
Further, when the effect handle 13 is operated, the operation image disappears (not displayed) and the effect handle 13 is turned off.
Then, during the fluctuation of the fluctuation display part, the three face part images of the fluctuation display part are stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, Is executed ((E) in FIG. 26).
The continuous effect executed here is the type of the continuous effect related to the second game determined in the “notice type determination process” in the above-described continuous effect C. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the “NEXT large button” is selected. Indicates that it is selected.
Also, in the second game, if a few seconds (for example, 5 seconds) elapses without the third reel stop operation by the player after the operation image is displayed, the continuous effect is executed. It has become.

In the third game, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect (“NEXT large button”) executed in the second game is performed based on the operation of the start lever 3.
For example, as shown in (F) of FIG. 26, an operation image that prompts an operation on the large effect button 14 is displayed.
When the large effect button 14 is operated by the player while the operation image is displayed, a movement effect by the door member 15 (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb) is executed ((G) in FIG. 26). ).
As described above, the movement effect operation pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) executed here moves the door member 15 based on the operation pattern determined at the time of rare winning combination.

For example, in the example shown in (G) in FIG. 26, the four door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, and 15Rb have moved from the open position (first position) to the closed position (third position). , A high expectation level (ART winning expectation degree) is shown.
That is, in the movement effect of the door member 15, the higher the number of movements of the door member 15, the more the door member 15 stops at the center position of the display device 8, and the faster the door member 15 moves, the higher the expected winning of ART. Suggests a high degree of condition.
As described above, since there is a relationship between the operation image that prompts the operation of the operation unit and the operation pattern of the door member 15, the number of operations of the door member 15 is predicted by the operation image before the operation unit is operated. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
Further, by giving such a relationship, the player pays attention to the operation means displayed in the operation image and the door member 15 prior to the notification of the winning result, and the interest can be enhanced.

  It should be noted that an operation means (for example, the effect button 12 or the effect handle 13) different from the displayed operation means is operated while the operation image prompting the operation to the operation means (for example, the large effect button 14) is displayed. In this case, the movement effect of the door member 15 may not be performed, or the movement effect of the door member 15 is forcibly executed with a fixed operation pattern (for example, only one door member 15 is moved). The winning expectation degree may be suggested accurately only when the operation means (the effect button 12) included in the operation image is operated.

Next, the stop button 5 is operated, and after several seconds (for example, 4 seconds) have passed since the third reel stop operation, the door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb move to the open position (first position), and the ART lottery Notify the winning results.
When the ART is won, the face of the character is displayed in a completed state by the three face part images of the variable display section, and the ART is notified that it has been won ("Yeah!") (FIG. (H) in 26). On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the face of the character is displayed in an uncompleted state by the three face part images, and the ART is informed that it is not won ("Sorry ...", etc.) ( (I) in FIG.
When the ART is won, notification of the ART winning result is not limited to the third game, and notification indicating the ART winning may be performed in the first game or the second game. In this case, for example, when a lottery with a probability of 1% is won, notification may be performed by performing a cut-in effect display or the like.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the operation means having a larger operation reception area (operation area) by the player is operated, or the operation reception area (operation area) by the player is larger. The probability that a large number of door members 15 move is higher when an operation image including wide operation means is displayed.
As a result, it is set so that the winning expectation degree of ART is higher when the operating means with a wide operating area is operated or when the operation image including the operating means with a wide operating area is displayed. Therefore, the more door members 15 that move, the higher the possibility of winning the ART.
The degree of expectation for the player can be easily recognized by having a correlation between the size of the operation area of the operation means and the success or failure in the lottery process (ART lottery) that can be in an advantageous state for the player. It is possible to make the player pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, and it is possible to enhance the interest.

(2) Addition effect Next, with reference to FIG. 27 to FIG. 31, the effect content of the addition effect will be described.
The extra effect is an effect for increasing the player's expectation that the number of games of ART is added (added) is executed by the display 8 under the control of the main control unit 10 and the sub control unit 20, and ART It is executed during the game in which the rare role is won, and an expectation effect display indicating whether or not to add the number of games is displayed, and the number of games to be added is displayed.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the production contents of the extra production are all determined when the rare role is won, and the production is executed after the production content is decided.

Specifically, when a rare role is won in the internal lottery process during ART, an extra effect is started and an operation image that prompts an operation to the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) is displayed on the display 8 ( (A) in FIG. 27 etc., T1 in FIG. 28 etc.).
While this operation image is displayed, an operation means (for example, the effect button 12) is operated, a stop operation means (for example, the stop button 5) is operated, and a next game start operation (for example, an operation of the bet button 2a) is performed. Thus, an extra effect with a different effect flow as shown below is executed.

First, with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28, the contents of the effect “when the effect button is operated while the operation image is displayed” will be described.
While the operation image is displayed ((A) in FIG. 27), if the player operates the effect button 12 according to the display, the operation image display immediately disappears (not displayed) (in FIG. 27). (B), T2 in FIG. 28), and then the expectation effect display is executed ((C) in FIG. 27).
The expectation effect display executed here is the effect pattern (“weak effect”, “medium effect”, “strong effect”, “strongest effect”) determined in the “expected expectation effect determination process during operation” described above. Is done.

Next, based on the third reel stop operation by the player, the addition result display is executed on the display 8 ((D) in FIG. 27, T5 in FIG. 28).
The added result display executed here is the number of added games determined in the above-described “added game number lottery”. For example, when the lottery is won, the number of added games (“+ 100G” or the like) ) Is displayed on the display 8 and the 7-segment display unit 13a. On the other hand, when the lottery is not won, the number of added games is not displayed, and for example, character information (such as “sorry”) indicating that the added game is not won and an effect image are displayed.
Then, when the operation of the bet button 2a is performed as an operation related to the start of the next game, the extra effect ends (T6 in FIG. 28).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 29 and 31, the contents of the effect “when a reel stop operation is performed at the disappearance timing while the operation image is displayed” will be described.
When an operation image is displayed ((A) in FIG. 29) and the player performs a reel stop operation determined as the disappearance timing without operating the effect button 12 without following the display. In response to the operation, the display of the operation image disappears ((B) in FIG. 29).
Specifically, when the disappearance timing is “first reel stop operation” (T3 in FIG. 31), when the disappearance timing is “second reel stop operation” (T4 in FIG. 31), the disappearance timing is “first reel stop operation”. In the case of “3 reel stop operation” (T5 in FIG. 31), the display of the operation image disappears.
The timing at which the display of the operation image disappears is based on the “disappearance timing” determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process” described above. This is executed ((C) in FIG. 29).

The expectation effect display executed here is the effect pattern (“weak effect”, “medium effect”, “strong effect”, “strongest effect”) determined in the aforementioned “non-operation expectation effect determination process”. Is displayed.
Next, based on the third reel stop operation by the player, an additional result display is executed on the display 8 and the 7-segment display unit 13a ((D) in FIG. 29, T5 in FIG. 31), and the next game is displayed. When the bet button 2a is operated as an operation related to the start, the extra effect ends (T6 in FIG. 31).
In the effect flow shown in FIG. 29, during the operation image display, the expectation effect display after the operation image disappears based on the reel stop operation determined as the disappearance timing may not be executed. .
As described above, when the stop button 5 is stopped without following the operation image display while the operation image is displayed, the number of times the reel stop operation is performed (from the first reel stop operation to the third reel). Depending on the (stop operation), the display of the operation image may disappear.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31, the contents of the effect of “when the next game start operation at the disappearance timing is performed during display of the operation image” will be described.
When the player performs a reel stop operation (third reel stop operation) without following the display while the operation image is displayed ((A) in FIG. 30), the operation image is, for example, a screen. While the image is reduced and displayed on the screen, the addition result is displayed on the screen ((B) in FIG. 30).
Further, when the start operation of the next game (operation of the bet button 2a) determined as the disappearance timing in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process” described above is performed without operating the effect button 12, the operation is performed. Accordingly, the display of the operation image disappears ((C) in FIG. 30, T6 in FIG. 31), and subsequently, the expectation effect display is executed ((D) in FIG. 30).
As described above, when the stop button 5 is stopped (third reel stop operation) and the next game start operation is performed without displaying the operation image during the operation image display, the next game start operation is performed. Depending on the situation, the display of the operation image may disappear.

In the production flow shown in FIG. 30, during the operation image display, after the addition result is displayed based on the third reel stop operation by the player, the operation of the bet button 2 a serving as the start operation of the next game is performed. Although it is the flow of the effect that the expected effect display is based on, not limited to this, when “next game start operation time” is selected as the disappearance timing in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process”, The expectation effect display after the next game start operation may not be executed.
Further, the expectation effect display may be executed based on the third reel stop operation, and the addition result display may be executed based on the next game start operation.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the “stop operation of the stop button 5” or “without operating the operation means included in the operation image during the display of the operation image displayed in the superposition effect”. When the “next game start operation” is performed, the display of the operation image disappears based on the determined disappearance timing (at the time of the first reel stop operation to the third reel stop operation, at the time of the next game start operation). It has become.
In addition, since the probability that the disappearance timing comes later from the start of the game is set higher as the number of added games increases, the timing at which the display of the operation image disappears as shown in (a) to (d) of FIG. However, as the game progresses from the start of the game, the degree of expectation for the increase increases.
Since the timing at which the display of the operation image disappears and the expectation level of the lottery process (additional game number lottery) that can be in an advantageous state for the player have a correlation, the expectation level of the player is high or low. Can be easily recognized, and the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image.

[Modification]
Next, a modified example of the present invention will be described.
[Modification of continuous production]
First, a modified example of the continuous effect will be described.
In the continuous production in the above-described embodiment, when the rare role is won, all the production contents for the three games for which the continuous production is executed are determined in advance, but the continuous production is not limited to this. When the start lever 3 is operated in each game in which the effects are executed, the contents of the effects may be determined over three games by determining the contents of the effects of the game.
In addition, although the continuous production has been described as a prelude production regarding the transition to ART, the present invention is not limited to this. Also good. In the case of the signing effect of the extra lottery, the number of games to be added (such as “+ 100G”) is notified instead of the notification indicating the winning in the final game of the continuous effect.

  In addition, when a rare role is won during the execution of a continuous production (second half sign production), the processing for determining the contents of the ART lottery or the production of the continuous production is performed in the same manner as when the continuous production (second half sign production) is not executed. And the result of the processing (winning right) is stored, and after the continuous production being executed is completed, the continuous production based on the stored content may be executed, or in the ART lottery You may be made to perform a continuous production only when winning.

  In addition, when notifying the ART lottery winning result in the final game of the continuous performance, after displaying an image notifying that the ART is not won once, it is determined that the ART is won at the start operation of the next game. You may perform the revival effect which switches and displays to the image to alert | report. In addition, such a revival effect may increase the occurrence rate when a relatively high expectation effect (continuation effect, cut-in effect) is selected. In this way, it is possible to produce a more highly interesting and highly anticipated performance.

  In the continuous effect A, as in the case of the continuous effect C, “NEXT button”, “NEXT handle”, and “NEXT large button” can be selected as the type of the continuous effect (NEXT effect), and the corresponding operation means (effects) An operation image that prompts the user to operate the button 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14) may be displayed. Furthermore, the door member 15 may be moved when the corresponding operating means is operated by the player. In this case, the continuous production B and the continuous production C are different from the maximum movable number of the door member 15 (for example, the continuous production A is “two”). It is possible to notify the winning expectation degree of ART of continuous production in an identifiable manner.

  Also, in the continuous effect B, as in the case of the continuous effect C, “NEXT handle” and “NEXT large button” can be selected as the type of the continuous effect (NEXT effect), and the corresponding operation means (the effect handle 13, the large effect). An operation image that prompts the user to operate the button 14) may be displayed. Further, when the corresponding operating means is operated by the player, the door member 15 may be moved. In this case, the continuous production A and the continuous production C are different from the maximum number of movements of the door member 15 (for example, the continuous production B is “three”). It is possible to notify the winning expectation degree of ART of continuous production in an identifiable manner.

[About continuous production C]
In the continuous effect C, the movement position and the movement speed, which are the operation patterns of the door member 15, may be determined based on the type of operation image displayed in the third game. For example, the probability that the third position is determined as the closed position and the second speed is determined as the moving speed may be increased when an operation image including an operation means with a wide operation area is selected. May be raised. Thus, as the operation area of the operating means to be operated is wider, the door member 15 can perform an effect with impact by operating at a higher speed or with a large movement amount. Therefore, by operating the operating means. The production effect can be sufficiently enhanced.
Further, in the continuous effect C in the above-described embodiment, the case where a plurality of movement positions and movement speeds are provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one movement position and one movement speed are provided (for example, “third position”). By providing only the number of movements, only the number of movements of the door member 15 may be used to suggest the degree of expected ART winning.

Further, in the continuous effect C, the number of movements of the door member 15 may be fixed for each operation means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 34, when the ART is won, the operation number “1” is always determined for the effect button, and the operation number “3” is always determined for the effect handle. In the case of a large effect button, “4” is always determined. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 33, in the case of not winning the ART, the number of operations “1” is always determined in the case of the effect button. In the case of a production handle, the operation number “2” or “3” may be determined.
In this way, the number of movements of the door member 15 may be forcibly determined so that the number of movements of the door member 15 does not overlap between the operating means.

Further, in the continuous effect C, the degree of expectation may be varied according to the moving door member 15 (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb). For example, the expected winning degree of ART may be set based on the relationship of 15La <15Lb <15Ra <15Rb.
In addition, the operation image may be displayed from the first game, or the operation image may not be displayed in the second game, and the cut-in effect display may be executed as in the continuous effect B in the second game. Good.
Further, in the third game, as in the first game and the second game, while the operation image is being displayed, the corresponding operation means (in the example of FIG. 26, the large effect button 14) is caused to emit light so that the operation is effective. You may notify that there is.

[Modified example of superposition production]
Next, a modified example of the extra effect will be described.
In the above embodiment, the effect button 12 is described as an example of the operation means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect handle 13 and the large effect button 14 may be used.
In this case, any one of these operation means may be selectable, and an operation image including the selected operation means may be added and displayed when the effect starts.
Further, the selection of the operation means may be determined based on the disappearance timing. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, when the disappearance timing is “at the time of the first reel stop operation”, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 70%, and the “effect handle” is selected with a probability of 30%. The
In addition, when the disappearance timing is “when the second reel is stopped”, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 40%, the “effect handle” is selected with a probability of 50%, and the probability “ “Large production button” is selected.
Further, when the disappearance timing is “when the third reel is stopped”, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 20%, the “effect handle” is selected with a probability of 30%, and the “effect handle” is selected with a probability of 50%. “Large production button” is selected.
Further, when the disappearance timing is “at the time of the next game start operation”, the “effect handle” is selected with a probability of 30%, and the “large effect button” is selected with a probability of 70%.
Thus, the later the disappearance timing is from the start of the game, the higher the probability that an operation means with a wide operation area will be selected, so the disappearance timing is expected to increase as the game progresses from the start of the game. It can be suggested that the degree of expectation of the addition is higher when the operation means having a wider operation area is selected.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection of the operation means may be determined based on the “number of added games”.

  In addition, in the addition effect, the door member 15 may be actuated (moved) similarly to the continuous effect. For example, the door member 15 may be operated prior to the notification of the expectation effect display or the addition result display. In this case, the expectation degree of the addition is suggested by changing the operation pattern such as the number of movements of the door member 15. Can enhance interest.

In addition, in the addition effect in the above-described embodiment, when the operation means included in the operation image is not operated while the operation image is displayed, the operation image display disappears based on the operation of the stop button 5. Although the example has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display of the operation image can be erased based on the “elapsed time since the addition effect was started (after the operation image was displayed)”. That is, the disappearance timing of the operation image can be set to “elapsed time since the operation image was displayed”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 35, the elapsed time (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds) that is the disappearance timing of the operation image may be determined based on the number of added games. In this case, the number of added games is The greater the number, the higher the probability that a longer disappearance timing will be selected. That is, the expected degree of addition has a relationship of “20 seconds (second period)”> “10 seconds (first period or second period)”> “5 seconds (first period)”. As the time at which the image disappears increases from the start of the game, the expected degree of addition increases.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the example of displaying the operation image at the timing when the addition effect is started based on the operation of the start lever 3 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The timing at which the start is made different from the timing at which the additional production is started may be used to suggest the expected degree of increase.
For example, as shown in FIG. 36, the operation image is based on the relationship of “game start operation” <“first reel stop operation” <“second reel stop operation” <“third reel stop operation”. As the timing of starting the display of the game progresses from the start of the game, the expectation of the addition may increase.

Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, one additional effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more additional effects may be provided. In this case, you may set so that the disappearance timing of the operation image may be different for each extra effect.
For example, the extra effect A sets the disappearance timing as “first reel stop operation”, the extra effect B sets the disappearance timing as “second reel stop operation”, and the extra effect C sets the disappearance timing as “third reel stop operation”. By doing so, the degree of expectation can be suggested for each additional production selected, and interest can be enhanced.

  In addition, in the addition result display, an effect indicating that the addition is not won may be displayed, and at the start of the next game, a revival effect may be performed to notify that the addition is won. Further, such a revival effect may be increased in the occurrence rate when “strong effect” or “strongest effect” having a relatively high expectation is selected in the expectation effect display. In this way, it is possible to produce a more highly interesting and highly anticipated performance.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the following operational effects are exhibited.
According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the door member 15 having a different number of movements is operated by operating the operation means, so that it is possible to produce an impact with an effect, and the effect produced by operating the operation means. It can be raised enough.
Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation means with a wide operation area is operated or when the operation image including the operation means with a wide operation area is displayed, the ART's winning expectation degree The number of door members 15 is greater when the operation means with a wide operation area is operated or when the operation image including the operation means with a wide operation area is displayed. There is a relationship that increases the probability of movement. By having a correlation between the size of the operation area of such operation means and the winning expectation of the lottery process (ART lottery) that can be advantageous to the player, In addition, the player can easily recognize the level of expectation, and the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, which can enhance the interest.
On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine that changes an effect mode on a display unit by operating an operating unit. However, in this gaming machine, even if the operating unit is operated, However, since the display effect cannot be sufficiently enhanced by operating different operation means, there is a possibility that the interest will be lowered.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the timing at which the operation image display disappears is determined according to the number of added games, and the timing at which the operation image display disappears from the start of the game, There is a relationship that the degree of expectation of the addition increases. In other words, the higher the number of times that the reel stop operation has been performed (“first reel stop operation” <“second reel stop operation” <“third reel stop operation”), the higher the winning expectation level of the extra.
Since the timing at which the display of the operation image disappears and the expectation level of the lottery process (additional game number lottery) that can be in an advantageous state for the player have a correlation, the expectation level for the player is high or low. Can be easily recognized, and the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image.
On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine that, when the operation means is operated during display of an operation image that prompts the operation means to operate on the display means, displays the number of added games on the display means. However, in this gaming machine, since the display of the operation image is merely a function for prompting the operation to the operation means, the display of the operation image cannot sufficiently enhance the interest of the game.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player interest, interest, excitement, and expectation that are not found in the games that have been performed in the conventional gaming machines, which is not in the past. It becomes possible to realize a new game characteristic.
Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, all or a part of such problems that the conventional gaming machine should improve can be solved.

  In the invention which concerns on embodiment described above, it is not limited only to embodiment mentioned above, The following examples can also be applied as a modified example or an application example.

For example, the operation means can be configured as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, the three operation means 12 to 14 are provided as operation means for executing the production, but two or less or four or more may be provided.
Moreover, although each of the three operating means 12 to 14 has a different shape and size, a plurality of operating means having the same shape and size may be provided.
Further, as the operation means, a type of pressing the decorative panel P similarly to the large effect button 14 may be adopted.
Further, a touch sensor (thing to touch) may be employed as the operation means.
Further, the operation means is not limited to pressing, but a pulling-out device (such as a lever) may be employed.
Further, based on the arrangement position of the operation means, the expectation degree of winning in the lottery process that can be in an advantageous state for the player (winning of the ART lottery, winning of the extra lottery) may be set. For example, you may set so that the expectation degree of winning becomes high, so that an operation means is located in the upper part or the lower part of the slot machine 1. FIG.
Further, the bet button 2a can be used as a substitute for the effect button 12, and the winning result of the ART lottery or the expected effect of the extra effect may be displayed by the operation of the bet button 2a. In this way, it is a highly satisfying function for a skilled player who is used to the game or a player who wants to advance the game quickly.
In addition, the winning expectation degrees are different among all the operation means, but the winning expectation degrees may be the same for some or all.

In addition to the above, the following configuration can also be provided.
Although the example which provided four (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb) as the door member 15 was shown, it is good also as 1 or 5 or more. In addition, although four examples of the same shape are shown, the shapes may be different, and the door member 15 having a different shape is associated with each operation means so that the door member 15 moves according to the operation means. May be.
In addition, when only a part of the slot machine 1 is displayed and when the entire slot machine 1 is displayed as an operation image for prompting the operation of one operating means, the entire slot machine 1 is displayed. However, the degree of expectation may be higher or lower than when part of the information is displayed. Further, only a part of the slot machine 1 and the entire slot machine 1 may be displayed. For example, the large effect button 14 may be executable when only a part of the slot machine 1 is displayed or when the entire slot machine 1 is displayed, or both may be displayed.
Further, an operation image that prompts an operation to two or more operation means may be displayed as the operation image. In this case, the greater the number of prompted operating means, the higher the degree of expectation can be made.
Further, the degree of expectation may vary depending on the position where the operation image is displayed on the display device 8.
Further, as a privilege to be given to the player, not only ART and the number of added games but also any state as long as the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state such as AT and bonus.
Further, ART is an ART with an additional number of games, but an ART with an additional number of sets may be used.
In addition, the winning probability according to each table (FIGS. 6 to 18, 20 to 23, and 32 to 36) of the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described values, and can be arbitrarily set and changed.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 10 performs operations as various means such as the game state control means, but the sub control unit 20 performs part or all of the operations, and the sub control unit 20 operates as various means. You can also
On the other hand, the sub-control unit 20 performs operations as various means such as effect execution means. However, the main control unit 10 may perform part or all of the operations, and the main control unit 10 may operate as various means. it can.

Although the present invention is applied to the slot machine, it can also be applied to other gaming machines such as a pachinko machine (for example, ball slot).
The present invention can also be applied to a so-called enclosed game machine that can execute a game using a pseudo game medium in a data format without using actual game media such as medals and game balls.

  In this embodiment, a reel that is driven and controlled by a motor is used, but instead of or in addition to this, an image in which symbols such as a reel fluctuate may be displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal display. it can.
