In addition, a combination of symbols that becomes an index that is more easily recognized than the predetermined symbol combination in any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 when the predetermined symbol combination is aligned (for example, “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” in FIG. As a result, a combination that can be seen as having won a prize by a combination of symbols arranged in any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 is included. Hereinafter, a combination of symbols that is aligned with any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned with the winning line LN is referred to as a symbol combination serving as an index, and constitutes a symbol combination serving as an index. The symbol is called an index symbol.

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

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a winning combination) is displayed on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R on the winning line LN. If the game stops as a result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the winning line LN is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state according to the combination of symbols is shifted. .

The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The symbols arranged within 5 frames including can be displayed on the winning line.

  Hereinafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels unless it is necessary to distinguish between them. Further, the reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C as a middle reel, and the reel 2R as a right reel. Further, an operation for stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

  The RAM 41c provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

  As the free-run counter circuit 507, four channels of 8-bit free-run counters are mounted.

  The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as an 8-bit random number or a 16-bit random number. In this embodiment, the hardware random number generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b among the random number circuits 508a and 508b is used as a random number for internal lottery described later.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55. These effect devices are sub-controls described later mounted on the effect control board 90. It is driven based on control by the unit 91.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for effect control. 51, a display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on or from the sub CPU 91a The reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a certain period of time, the switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the switches connected to the effect control board 90, date information and time Clock device 97 for outputting time information including information, slot machine 1 The power supply voltage to be supplied is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power failure detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, and other circuits are mounted. In response to the command transmitted from the game control board 40, the CPU 91a performs various controls for performing an effect, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the input number of system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms).

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

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

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to the set value in a lottery that affects the advantage to the player, such as an internal lottery, a navigation stock lottery, and an extra lottery to be described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

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

  In addition, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the configuration may be changed to the setting change state on condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 25. By setting it as such a structure, it can prevent that a setting change will be carried out illegally in the state which the front door 1b is not open | released. Further, in the configuration that shifts to the setting change state on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the door opening detection switch 25 does not detect the opening of the front door 1b after shifting to the setting change state. However, it is preferable to maintain the setting change state, so that even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting change, the operation for changing to the setting change state is not required again, and the setting change state is required. Operation is not complicated. In addition, after shifting to the setting change state, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off after the start switch 7 is operated and the set value is confirmed, the door opening detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. On the condition that the setting change state is terminated, it may be configured to shift to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the setting change is illegally performed when the front door 1b is not opened. Can be prevented.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  After the game, the setting is made on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 25 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on with no betting number set. A configuration for shifting to the confirmation state may be adopted, and by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being illegally confirmed without the front door 1b being opened. Further, in the configuration that shifts to the setting confirmation state on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the door opening detection switch 25 does not detect the opening of the front door 1b after the transition to the setting confirmation state. However, it is preferable to maintain the setting confirmation state, so that even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting confirmation, the operation for shifting to the setting confirmation state is not required again, and the setting confirmation state is required. Operation is not complicated. In addition, after shifting to the setting confirmation state, when the set key switch 37 is turned off after the set value is confirmed by operating the start switch 7, the door opening detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. On the condition that the setting confirmation state is terminated, it may be configured to return to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the setting value is illegally set when the front door 1b is not opened. It can be prevented from being confirmed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power interruption process (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Execute.

  Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state, thereby disabling the progress of the game.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interruption process (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, A power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  Even if it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub-control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the state has changed to the setting change state from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

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

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when the BB is completed, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is a setting key switch 37 that is on at the time of startup, and is an initialization that is performed before the transition to the setting change state or an initialization that occurs when a RAM error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, areas other than the important work and the special work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Anyway.

  The special work includes a game state storage work in which a game state flag indicating a game state is stored and an internal winning flag storage work in which an internal winning flag is stored. Since the special work is not initialized, the game state and the internal winning flag before the setting change are maintained even when the setting is changed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to RT4, RB) (in this embodiment, 3 for RT0-4 and 2 for RB) is determined. Thus, the game can be started on condition that a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line is activated (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always activated. A winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “combinations” is arranged on the winning line. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role.

  In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each combination described above before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 At the time of detection). In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT0-4, RB), each combination determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Whether or not winning is permitted is determined according to the number of determination values.

  In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined in accordance with the internal lottery target, the current gaming state, and the set value are sequentially assigned to the random number for internal lottery (numerical data stored in the lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

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

  In the table index, index data indicating the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of the system. And to be able to identify the Do stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

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

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, if any of the winning combinations is won, when the stop operation is performed, the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to four frames. If possible, control is performed to align and stop, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, a stop operation is performed. In addition, if it is possible to align and stop the small roles that have been elected on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed to align and stop them, and the winning line can be drawn in up to 4 frames on the winning line. If the winning small role cannot be withdrawn, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line with a maximum of 4 draws, it will be controlled. The winning combination that is not won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the special role and the replaying role are won at the same time, such as when the replaying role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the stop operation is performed. In this case, the control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  In this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed by using a stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration that uses stop control by searching and specifying the stop position together, and a configuration that performs stop control by partially changing the stop control table and stop position table. It may be.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that has started counting from the time is more than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that time, the reel for the game in the game is started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation of the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel starts rotating at that time. First, it waits until the game time that has started timing from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches the specified time, and starts rotating the reel when it reaches the specified time.

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends, to the sub control unit 91, a throw-in number command, a credit command, a gaming state command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel acceleration information 1 command, a ready-out stop command, and a continuation. Result command, reel acceleration information 2 command, stop operation command, sliding frame number command, stop command, game end command, winning number command, payout start command, payout end command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command A plurality of types of commands including a setting command, a setting confirmation command, a door command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

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

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state (RT0 to 4, RB) of the game, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the result of the internal lottery, and is transmitted when the game is started by operating the start switch 7 and is transmitted after the gaming state command is transmitted. Since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, it is possible to specify that the game is started by operating the start switch 7 by receiving these commands. .

  The freeze command is a command that can specify whether the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period of time, or if it is controlled to the freeze state, and when the game starts And transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted.

  The reel acceleration information 1 command is a command that can specify that the rotation of the reel starts with the progress of the normal game, which will be described later, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reel is started with the progress of the normal game. In addition, since it is also transmitted when starting the rotation of the reel accompanying the progress of the normal game with the end of the freeze state, the reel acceleration information 1 command is received after the start of the freeze state is specified by the freeze command. As a result, it is possible not only to start the rotation of the reel as the normal game progresses, but also to specify the end of the freeze state.

  The preparation-out stop command is a command that can specify that a preparation out, which will be described later, has stopped in the reel production performed in the freeze 1 in the freeze state, and is transmitted when the preparation output stops in the reel production. .

  The continuation result command is a command that can specify the result of the subsequent lottery performed in the reel effect (losing, red 7 aligned, blue 7 aligned), and is transmitted when the continuous lottery is performed in the reel effect.

  The reel acceleration information 2 command is a command that can specify the start of the pseudo game performed in the freeze 2 in the freeze state, and is transmitted when the pseudo game is started. Since the reel acceleration information 2 command is transmitted when the pseudo game is started, it is possible to specify that the pseudo game has started by receiving the reel acceleration information 2 command.

  The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel in the normal game or the pseudo game, and the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel. Yes, and transmitted every time stop control accompanying the stop operation of each reel is performed.

  The sliding frame number command moves in the normal game or the pseudo game to determine whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, until the corresponding reel is stopped and then stopped. This is a command that can specify the number of sliding frames, and is transmitted after a corresponding stop operation command is transmitted each time stop control associated with a stop operation of each reel is performed.

  The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped in the normal game or the pseudo game is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, or the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. Each time stop control associated with the stop operation is performed, it is transmitted after the corresponding sliding frame number command is transmitted.

  With the stop operation command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command, it is possible to specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and accompanying the stop operation of each reel Since it is transmitted every time stop control is performed, by receiving these commands, it is possible to specify that one of the reels has been stopped and the reel to be stopped.

  The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended and the game state (RT0 to 4, RB, BB) of the next game, and the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel. Sent when the stop switch is released.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify a combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, a type of winning, and a payout number of medals at the time of winning. The player stops the third stop reel. This is when the stop switch is pressed and released, and is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

  Both the game end command and the winning number command are transmitted when the player depresses the stop switch to release the third stop reel and releases the stop switch. It is possible to specify that all operations necessary to advance one game have been completed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The stand-by command is a command indicating a transition to the stand-by state. When one game is over and the bet amount is not set and the estimated end time (60 seconds in this embodiment) has passed, It is transmitted after the payout of medals by the settlement (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is completed and a payout end command is transmitted.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

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

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

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

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). The

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). Is done.

  The operation detection command is generated based on the detection state of the switch every time the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) is executed 10 times, and is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c. Then, it is transmitted in the command transmission process of the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that has started counting from the time is more than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that time, rotation of a reel for a game in the game (hereinafter, a game accompanying the progress of the game is referred to as a normal game in order to be distinguished from a pseudo game described later) is started.

  On the other hand, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals after the end of one game, and when the normal game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is performed. If the game time that started timing from the start time is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation of the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel starts rotating at that time. Without waiting, it waits until the game time which started timing from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches a specified time, and starts the rotation of the reel in the normal game when the specified time is reached.

  When the main control unit 41 controls to freeze 2 out of the freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to perform a pseudo game during the freeze state. .

  In the following, normal games with medals, replays, and game state transitions are called normal games according to the display results, and are controlled in the frozen state in the normal game, and the game progress is delayed. A special game that is not accompanied by a medal or a re-game, or a game state transition according to the display result is called a pseudo game. In the pseudo game, it is possible to perform special variation control that is not performed in normal game, special stop control that is not performed in normal game, and by using these special variation control and special stop control, To suggest situations that are advantageous to the player (such as the possibility of winning Navistock, which will be described later, the situation where the winning probability of the Navistock lottery is relatively high, or the situation where the ART described later will be activated with a small number of games) Is possible.

  In the pseudo game, after all the reels have started to rotate, operations such as the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be accepted as operations not involved in the progress of the game, and control is performed to stop the reels according to the operations. When the start switch 7 is operated to start the pseudo game, unlike the normal game, the reel rotation control is started even when the specified time has not elapsed since the start of the reel rotation in the previous game, and the stop switch 8L, The reel stop control can be performed in accordance with the operation to 8C and 8R. The frozen state in which the simulated game is performed is a condition for releasing the freeze if the result of stopping in the simulated game is the first result (middle stage replay, rightward replay winning mode) after the simulated game is finished. It is canceled when the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted. Further, if the result of stopping in the pseudo game is the second result (bell replay, middle stage cherry, strong cherry, weak cherry, middle stage bell, lose), the BET operation (MAXBET) which is the first condition for releasing the freeze The operation is canceled when the operation of the start switch 7 as the second condition for releasing the freeze is received. After the freeze state is released, in order to start a normal game, after all reels have started to rotate again, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R can be accepted as an operation related to the progress of the game. . Therefore, from the start to the end of the freeze state, the game progress is delayed by delaying the normal game start timing and the timing at which the reel stop operation for advancing the game is activated. .

  Also, when stopping the reels in the pseudo game, unlike the case of stopping the reels in the normal game, after the target stop position is derived without completely stopping the reels, the reels are vibrated up and down. Is supposed to do. Specifically, when the main control unit 41 stops the reel in the normal game, the reel is completely stopped by not changing the excitation state of the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R for a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) or more. On the other hand, when the reel is stopped in accordance with the pseudo game, the reel is not completely stopped by changing the excitation state of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R before the predetermined time elapses. When the reels are stopped, it is possible to distinguish whether the reels are stopped with the pseudo game or the reels are stopped with the normal game.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a winning determination on the display result stopped in the normal game when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped along with the stop operation during the normal game. In the winning determination, when it is determined that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R has stopped, whether or not a winning has occurred according to the display result derived on the winning line LN of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. Determine whether. When it is determined that a special winning combination that accompanies a game state transition is made, a process for transitioning the game state is performed. Further, when it is determined that a winning combination of a small combination is made, a process of giving a medal corresponding to the winning small combination is performed. Further, when it is determined that a re-game player wins, a process of giving a re-game is performed. On the other hand, no winning determination is made for the display result stopped in the pseudo game in the frozen state, and the game state is not shifted, a medal is awarded, or a re-game is not given according to the display result. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, the normal game is started during the non-freeze operation by operating the start switch 7, while the reel rotation control in the normal game is started when the freeze state occurs. For example, a pseudo game can be performed until the normal game substantially progresses.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

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

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

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

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and changes to the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

When you do, one medal will be paid out. “Red 7” and “BAR” of the left reel constituting the corner cherry are arranged one above “Cherry”, so “Red 7-Bell-Replay”, “BAR-Bell-” are placed on the winning line LN. When the combination of “Replay” is aligned, the combination of “Cherry a-any-any” (any symbol may be used) is aligned to the bottom and to the right, that is, to the invalid lines LM2 and LM4. The “bell” of the middle reel that makes up the square cherry and the “replay” of the right reel are arranged within 5 frames, but the “red 7” and “BAR” of the left reel that make up the square cherry are 5 frames. Because there is a place that is not placed within, if you won the corner cherry in the internal lottery that will be described later, if you do not stop the left reel at the right time, you will win the winning corner cherry There is no.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the re-game player among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the replaying role includes middle replay, right-up replay, promotion replay, special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay.

  The middle stage replay is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-replay” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT0 to RT4, and a replay game (replay) is given. The “replay” for the left reel, “replay” for the middle reel, and “replay” for the right reel that make up the middle stage replay are arranged within 5 frames, so when the middle stage replay is won in the internal lottery described later, In principle, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  The upward replay is a win when a combination of “Bell-Replay-Red 7” or “Bell-Replay-Bell” is aligned on the winning line LN in RT1 to RT4, and a replay game (replay) is given. The “bell” on the left reel that constitutes the right-up replay is positioned one position above “replay”, and “red 7” and “bell” on the right reel are one position below “replay”. When the combination of “Bell-Replay-Red 7” or “Bell-Replay-Bell” is aligned on the winning line LN, it goes to the right, that is, “Replay-Replay-Replay” is displayed on the invalid line LM4. The combination will be complete. In addition, since the symbol of any one of “Bell” on the left reel, “Replay” on the middle reel, “Red 7”, and “Bell” on the right reel, which constitutes a right-up replay, is arranged within 5 frames, It can be said that, as a general rule, when a right-up replay is won in an internal lottery which will be described later, it is possible to win regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  The promotion replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT1, and a replay game (replay) is given. In addition, the game state is shifted to RT0 by winning the promotion replay. Also, the “rebell” on the left reel, “replay” on the middle reel, and “replay” on the right reel that make up the promotion replay are arranged within 5 frames, so that the promotion replay is won in the internal lottery described later. Sometimes, in principle, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT0, and a replay game (replay) is given. In addition, the game state is shifted to RT2 due to the special replay winning. In addition, since the “replay” of the left reel, the “replay” of the middle reel, and the “bell” of the right reel constituting the special replay are arranged within 5 frames, the special replay is won in the internal lottery described later. Sometimes, in principle, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  Red 7 Replay is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Blue 7-Replay”, “Replay-Watermelon-Replay” or “Replay-Cherry a-Replay” is aligned on the winning line LN at RT0-4. (Replay) is awarded. In particular, the “replay” of the left reel that constitutes the red 7 replay is arranged one position above “red 7”, and the “blue 7” of the middle reel is one above “red 7”. Since the “replay” on the right reel is positioned one position above “red 7”, when the combination of “replay-blue 7-replay” is aligned on the winning line LN, A combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” can be arranged in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2. The left reel “Replay”, the middle reel “Blue 7”, “Watermelon”, “Cherry a”, and the right reel “Replay” are arranged within 5 frames. Therefore, it can be said that, in principle, when a red 7 replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  Blue 7 Replay is “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay”, “Cherry a-Watermelon Replay”, “Cherry a-Cherry a-Replay”, “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay” on the winning line LN at RT0-4. ”,“ Cherry a-Watermelon-Replay ”or“ Cherry a-Cherry a-Replay ”are combined, and a replay game (replay) is awarded. In particular, “Cherry a” on the left reel that constitutes the Blue 7 replay is located one position above “Blue 7”, and “Replay” on the right reel is one position below “Blue 7”. When the combination of “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay” is aligned on the winning line LN, the combination of “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” can be aligned on the invalid line LM4. . The left reel's “cherry a” and “replay” symbols that make up the Blue 7 replay, the middle reel “blue 7”, “watermelon”, and “cherry a” any one symbol, the right reel Since “Replay” is arranged within 5 frames, it can be said that, in principle, when a blue 7 replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11 to FIG. 16, a combination of lottery object combinations read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, RT4, or RB (including RB in BB), the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is RT0-3, at least one of the re-game player who is the target of the internal lottery and its winning probability differs depending on the type of RT0-3. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 11 to FIG. 16, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 11 to 14, the lottery target combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that it is a lottery target when in the gaming state, and a cross indicates that it is not a lottery target when in the gaming state. It shows that.

  Also, the numerical values shown below the circles indicate the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (common in this embodiment regardless of the set value). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  Further, FIG. 11 shows combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIGS. 12 and 13 show combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. , A combination of re-playing combinations that are read out as lottery targets.

Is a combination of middle replay + special replay + red 7 replay .

  Hereinafter, the normal replays 1 and 2 may be simply referred to as normal replays unless it is necessary to distinguish between them.

  In this way, the target lot of the internal lottery differs depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, RT4, or RB (including RB in BB). An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table determined higher than RT0-4.

  Also, when the gaming state is RT0-3, depending on whether it is RT0-3, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs, and depending on whether it is RT0-3, the target An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations.

  When winning the middle left bell, as shown in Fig. 17, the middle bell will win by performing the stop operation in the middle left and right stop order, and the stop operation in the middle right left, right left middle, right middle left stop order As a result, the secondary role B1 wins, and by performing the stop operation in the order of stopping in the middle left and right and left and right, the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the secondary role A selected in the middle reel and the right reel If a stop operation is performed at, the winning secondary role A will win, and either the middle reel or the right reel will stop outside the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the winning secondary role A If an operation is performed, none of the roles are available. In other words, when the stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right stop order, eight medals can be obtained, whereas when the stop operation is performed in the middle left / right or left / right middle stop order, a certain percentage is obtained. In some cases, you may be able to win 8 medals, but in some cases you may not be able to get 1 medal. If you stop in the order of middle right left, right left middle or right middle left, you will receive one medal. Can only be acquired.

  When the middle right bell is won, as shown in FIG. 17, the middle bell will win by performing the stop operation in the middle right / left stop order, and the stop operation will be performed in the middle left / right, right left middle, right middle left stop order. By doing so, the secondary role B1 wins, and by performing the stop operation in the order of stop in the middle left and right, left and right, in the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the secondary role A that is elected in the middle reel and the right reel If a stop operation is performed, the elected secondary role A will win, and the stop operation will be performed outside the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the secondary role A that is selected on either the middle reel or the right reel. If this is done, none of the roles will be available. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained when the stop operation is performed in the middle right / left stop order, whereas a certain percentage is obtained when the stop operation is performed in the left middle right or left / right middle stop order. In some cases, you may be able to win 8 medals, but in some cases, you may not be able to win 1 medal. If you stop in the order of middle left / right, right / left / right, middle / left / right, one medal Can only be acquired.

  When winning the right / left bell, as shown in FIG. 18, the middle bell is won by performing the stop operation in the order of stop in the right / left middle, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order of the right / left / center, left / right, and middle / right / left. As a result, the secondary role B2 wins, and the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping in the middle left and right and left and right, so that it stops within the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the secondary role A that is elected in the middle reel and the right reel. If an operation is performed, the elected secondary role A will win, and either the middle reel or the right reel will be stopped outside the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the elected secondary role A. If done, none of the roles will be available. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained when the stop operation is performed in the order of stoppage in the middle right and left, while a certain percentage is obtained when the stop operation is performed in the stop order of left center right or left and right. In some cases, you may be able to win 8 medals, but in some cases you may not be able to get 1 medal. If you stop in the order of middle left / right, middle right / left or right middle / left, you will get one medal. Can only be acquired.

  When winning the right middle bell, as shown in FIG. 18, the middle bell is won by performing the stop operation in the right middle left stop order, and the stop operation is performed in the right left middle, middle left and right, middle right left stop order. By doing this, the secondary role B2 wins, and by performing the stop operation in the order of stop in the middle left and right, left and right, in the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the secondary role A that is elected in the middle reel and the right reel If a stop operation is performed, the elected secondary role A will win, and the stop operation will be performed outside the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the secondary role A that is selected on either the middle reel or the right reel. If this is done, none of the roles will be available. In other words, when the stop operation is performed in the right middle left stop order, eight medals can be obtained, whereas when the stop operation is performed in the left middle right or left / right middle stop order, a certain amount is obtained. In some cases, eight medals can be obtained, but one medal may not be obtained. If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right, middle right / left or right / left middle, one medal is given. Can only be acquired.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any one of the middle left bell, the middle right bell, the right left bell, the right middle bell, that is, the push order bell is won at RT0 to 4, the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination The middle bell always wins and 8 medals can be obtained by performing the stop operation in, while the left reel is placed in the second reel by performing the stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode according to the winning combination. In the case of 1 stop, the secondary role A may win and win 8 medals, but there may be no 1 medals, the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, and If it is other than the operation mode corresponding to the type of winning combination, the subsidiary role B always wins and only one medal can be obtained.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell at RT0 to 4, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, it is not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode, and if the stop order matches, 8 medals are definitely obtained. Although it is possible, if the stopping order does not match, the medal cannot be surely obtained.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, the middle bell wins a prize by performing a stop operation in an operation mode according to the type of push order bell, and eight medals. If the left reel is in the first stop, the middle bell will not win, but the secondary role A will win and win 8 medals at a certain rate. Regardless of the stop order in which the player performs the stop operation, the player can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In the present embodiment, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the middle bell does not win, but for example, the stop ratio is approximately equal in any stop order. In the middle bell or the middle bell, a small part with eight payouts may win and win eight medals. Even in such a configuration, the player can stop in any order. Even if it performs, it can prevent becoming disadvantageous extremely.

  Also, at RT0, 2, and 3, the push order bell wins and the secondary role A or the secondary role B wins, so that the transition to RT1 is made.

  In this embodiment, when the common bell is won in any gaming state, when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop), which will be described later, the middle bell or the lower right Bell wins. On the other hand, when the push order bell is won at RT0 to 4, the middle bell will not win if the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order as described above. Therefore, as a result of performing the stop operation with the left reel as the first stop at RT0 to RT4, the player can recognize that the common bell has been won by winning the middle bell or the lower right bell.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a weak cherry is won in any gaming state, if the left reel “cherry a” is stopped at a timing that can be stopped at either the middle or lower level, the left reel “Cherry a” stops at the lower stage, but when a strong cherry is won, the “Cherry a” on the left reel is stopped at a timing that can be stopped at both the middle and lower stages. “Cherry a” on the left reel stops in the middle. For this reason, as a result of performing a stop operation at a timing at which the “cherry a” of the left reel can be stopped at both the middle and lower stages, the “cherry a” of the left reel stops at the middle, so that the player You can recognize that a strong cherry was won.

  In the present embodiment, although not particularly illustrated, when the push order bell is won in RB (including RB in BB), the control of pulling the combination of the middle bells into the winning line LN regardless of the reel stop order. Do. At this time, the combination of the middle bells always stops on the winning line LN.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the type of re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order.

  When the normal replay 1 is won, as shown in FIG. 19, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is stopped first, that is, the stop order of left middle right and left and right middle, the middle stage replay or the right upward replay is performed. Control to stop in line with the winning line LN is performed. Further, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is first stopped, that is, in the middle left / right and middle right / left stop order, the red 7 replay is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN. At this time, if a stop operation is performed at the timing at which “red 7” can be pulled into the lower row, that is, the invalid line LM2, in each reel, “red 7-red 7-red 7” among the red 7 replay combinations. The control is performed so as to stop the combination in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is stopped for the first time, that is, in the stop order of right-left middle and right-middle-left, control is performed to stop the blue 7 replay in alignment with the winning line LN. At this time, when the stop operation is performed at the timing that can be pulled into the invalid line LM4, that is, "Blue 7" is in the lower stage on the left reel, "Blue 7" is in the middle stage on the middle reel, and "Blue 7" is in the upper stage on the right reel. In the blue 7 replay combination, the control of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is moved upward to the right, that is, aligned with the invalid line LM4 and stopped.

  In normal replay 2 winning, as shown in FIG. 19, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is stopped first, that is, in the stop order of left middle right and left and right middle, the middle stage replay is placed on the winning line LN. Performs control to stop them together. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is first stopped, that is, in the stop order of middle left and right and middle right and left, control is performed to stop the blue 7 replay in alignment with the winning line LN. At this time, when the stop operation is performed at the timing that can be pulled into the invalid line LM4, that is, "Blue 7" is in the lower stage on the left reel, "Blue 7" is in the middle stage on the middle reel, and "Blue 7" is in the upper stage on the right reel. In the blue 7 replay combination, the control of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is moved upward to the right, that is, aligned with the invalid line LM4 and stopped. Further, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped, that is, in the stop order of right / left middle and right / middle / left, control is performed to stop the red 7 replay in alignment with the winning line LN. At this time, if a stop operation is performed at the timing at which “red 7” can be pulled into the lower row, that is, the invalid line LM2, in each reel, “red 7-red 7-red 7” among the red 7 replay combinations. The control is performed so as to stop the combination in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2.

  When replay GR1 (middle stage replay + promotion replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, control is performed to align the combination of promotion replays among the selected replay players and stop them in the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of the middle stage replay is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR2 (Middle Replay + Upward Replay + Promotion Replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of promoted replays among the selected replay players will be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the middle replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR3 (middle replay + promotion replay + red 7 replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the middle stage replay is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Middle Replay + Upward Replay + Promotion Replay + Red 7 Replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the promotion replay among the selected replay players will be the winning line Control to stop in line with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than right center left, control to stop the combination of middle stage replays in line with winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the promoted replay and the middle replay are arranged within 5 frames on all reels, the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is related to the stop operation timing according to the stop order. First, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the middle replay always wins.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for causing the replay GR1 to 4 to win the promotion replay.

  Therefore, in RT1 where replays GR1 to GR4 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR1 to GR4 is won, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/4, and transition to RT0 Become.

  In this embodiment, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the configuration in which the promotion replay does not win, that is, the configuration in which the transition to RT0 which is a condition for the transition to RT2 advantageous for the player is not performed. However, for example, when the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the promoted replay may win at a substantially equal rate and shift to RT0. In such a configuration, the player However, it can be prevented from being extremely disadvantageous regardless of the stop order.

  If the replay GR11 (middle replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the left reel as the first stop, that is, left middle right, left and right in order, Control is performed to stop the special replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order of the first stop other than the left reel, the combination of the middle replay is stopped aligned with the winning line LN. Take control.

  If replay GR12 (middle stage replay + special replay + right-up replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping with the middle reel as the first stop, that is, middle left / right, middle right / left, the replay selected The special replay combination in the combination is controlled to be stopped on the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order of the first stop except for the middle reel, the middle replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  If replay GR13 (middle replay + special replay + red replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the right reel as the first stop, that is, right-left middle, right-middle-left order, the selected replay The special replay combination of the winning combination is controlled to stop by aligning with the winning line LN, and if the stop operation is performed in the order of the first stop other than the right reel, the middle replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special replay and the middle stage replay are arranged within 5 frames on all reels, the symbols are related to the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the stop order. First, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the middle stage replay always wins.

  Thus, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning special replays with the replays GR 11 to 13.

  For this reason, if any one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won at RT0 in which the replays GR11 to 13 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay will be won with a probability of 1/3, and the process proceeds to RT2. Become.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, it is controlled to either RT0 to RT4 or bonus (RB in RB or BB).

  RT0 shifts to when the promoted replay wins in RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR4 wins and the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the promoted replay wins). Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT0, RT0 transitions to RT1 due to the winning of the secondary role, transitions to RT2 due to the special replay winning, or the special role wins and transitions to RT4. That's it. The winning probability for the special role in RT0 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), the winning probability for the re-playing role is high (about 1 / 2.8), and the winning probability for the small role is normal (about 1 / 2.9). ), And the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT0, only the replay GRs 11 to 13 among the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT1 shifts when the secondary role wins at RT0, RT2, RT3. Then, RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins and shifts to RT0, or the special role is won and shifts to RT4. The winning probability of the special role in RT1 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), similar to RT0, the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is RT0. Similarly, it is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT1, only the normal replay 1, the normal replay 2, and the replays GR1 to GR4 among the replaying players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RT2 shifts when a special replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when the secondary role wins and shifts to RT1, or the special role wins and shifts to RT4. The winning probability for special roles in RT2 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), similar to RT0, the winning probability for re-playing roles is higher than RT0 (about 1 / 1.5), and the winning probability for small roles is Like RT0, it is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is 100% or more. Further, in RT2, only the normal replay 1 and the normal replay 2 among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RT3 shifts to the end of the bonus (BB, RB). Then, RT3 is ended regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT3, when the secondary role wins and transitions to RT1, or the special role wins and transitions to RT4. The winning probability of the special role in RT3 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than RT0 (normally 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (same as RT0) The payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT3, only the normal replay 1 and the normal replay 2 among the regame players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT4 shifts when a special combination (BB, RB) is won in RT0-3. RT4 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT4 wins and shifts to a bonus (BB or RB) regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT4. In RT4, special roles are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing roles is lower than RT2, but higher than RT0, RT1, RT3 and high probability (about 1 / 2.3). The probability is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. Further, in RT4, only the normal replay 1 and the normal replay 2 among the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins at RT4. And RB is complete | finished by digesting 12 games or winning 6 times. In RB, special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than RT0-5 and has a high probability (about 1 / 1.0), and medals per game The payout rate is 100% or more.

  BB shifts when BB wins at RT4. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the BB exceeds the specified number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the BB. In BB, since it is always controlled by the above-mentioned RB, the special combination and the re-playing combination are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small combination is higher than RT0 to 5 and a high probability (about 1/1. 0), and the payout rate of medals per game is 100% or more.

  Among RT0 to 4, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming state. RT0, RT4 of RT0-4 have a high probability of winning a re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1, 3, especially RT0 to RT2. It can be said that it is more advantageous for the player than RT1 and 3 in that it can be transferred. RT2 out of RT0, 2 and 4 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT2 and 4 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT2 and 4.

  Further, the slot machine in the present embodiment can execute a navigation effect in which the sub-control unit 91 notifies the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result when the gaming state is RT0-2. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when RB or BB ends, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, when the secondary role wins, the process shifts to RT1, and when the special role wins, the process shifts to RT4. When the push order bell is won at RT3, the secondary role can win, so when the push order bell wins and the secondary role wins at RT3, which has shifted to after the end of RB or BB, the transition to RT1 is made. .

  At RT1, the promotion replay wins to move to RT0, and when the special role is elected, shift to RT4. Since the replays GR1 to 4 are won at RT1 and the stop order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to GR4 are won and the answer is RT0 when the answer is correct in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, when the secondary role wins, the process shifts to RT1, when the special replay wins, the process shifts to RT2, and when the special role wins, the process shifts to RT4. Since the replay GRs 11 to 13 are won at RT0 and the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, the replays GR11 to 13 are selected at RT0 and the process proceeds to RT2 by correctly answering in the stop order. Become.

  In addition, when the push order bell is won at RT0, the secondary role can win. For this reason, in RT0, the replay GRs 11 to 13 are won, and when the special replay wins, the push order bell wins before moving to RT2, and when the secondary role wins, the game moves to RT1.

  In RT2, when the secondary role wins, the process shifts to RT1, and when the special role is elected, the process shifts to RT4. When the push order bell wins at RT2, the secondary role can win. For this reason, in RT2, when the push order bell is won and the secondary role wins, the process proceeds to RT1.

  RT4 shifts to RB or BB when a special combination that triggers the transition to the inside wins a prize.

  If the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the AT, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 4 when RT1 and replay GR11 to 13 when RT0. Further, in any of RT0 to RT2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state (RT1 and non-AT state) where neither AT nor ART is controlled.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when the replay GR1 or middle left bell is won as the navigation image, a stop switch such as “213” (indicating that the middle reel is the first stop, the left reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of 8L, 8C, and 8R and a character image that matches the motif of the slot machine 1 are displayed. Further, as navigation voice, for example, “middle left and right!” (Indicating that the middle reel is the first stop, the left reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) is a voice indicating the pressing order of the stop switches. Output. Note that the navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all reels are rotating, for example, “middle!” Is output first, and if the left reel is stopped, “left!” Is output next, and if the middle reel and the left reel are stopped, then “ "Right!" Is output. As for the other replay GRs 2 to 4 and the push order bell, a navigation image corresponding to the replay GR is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and a navigation sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As a navigation effect when winning the replays GR1 to GR4, the push order for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. Moreover, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GRs 11 to 13, a push order for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. Further, as a navigation effect when winning one of the push order bells, a push order for reliably winning the middle bell is notified.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to win the promotion replay, special replay, and middle bell that have been selected intentionally, and to avoid winning the secondary role.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 selects lottery conditions (in this embodiment, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell win, middle right bells 1-4 in RB (including RB in BB), right middle When the winning of the bells 1 to 4 is established, a navigation stock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant navigation stock that is the right to control to ART (a state controlled by the AT at RT2). In the navigation stock lottery, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to provide the navigation stock number is determined. In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks.

  Navistock is a right to move to RT2 if it is RT1, and after the RT2 transition, a predetermined number of games (art game which will be described later in this embodiment) after red 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins first. The number of rights controlled by ART over the number of games won in the lottery). After shifting to RT2, by consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, it is controlled by ART for a predetermined number of games, during which the navigation effect is executed. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to ART based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c. When one or more navigation stocks remain, after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification, the AT is first controlled. The state from the start of the AT control to the transition to RT2 is also referred to as a preparation state.

  In the preparation state, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. At this time, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 4 are won, the navigation effect is targeted, and when the replays GR1 to 4 are won, the stop order for winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation effect, so stop according to the notified stop order. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0 by performing the operation. In addition, after the transition to the preparation state, the push order for winning the middle bell is notified when the push order bell is won in any game state of RT0 to 2, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. Thus, it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals.

  After the promotion replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, it becomes the target of the navigation effect when winning the replay GR11-13, and the operation mode for winning the special replay when winning the replay GR11-13 is notified by the navigation effect. It is possible to shift from RT0 to RT2 by performing a stop operation according to the notified operation mode. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the stop order for winning the middle bell is informed, so it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. In addition, it is possible to avoid winning of the secondary role and avoid shifting to RT1.

  When the special replay wins at RT0 and the process shifts to RT2, after that, when the first normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 is won, the push order for winning one of the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is notified 7 Navigation is performed, and a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay can be won by performing a stop operation according to the notified operation mode. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the stop order for winning the middle bell is informed, so it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. In addition, it is possible to avoid winning of the secondary role and avoid shifting to RT1.

  When the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, the preparation state ends, and the ART control starts. The start of the next game after the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins indicates the start of the ART. The ART start effect is executed. In addition, the main control unit 41 is controlled to be in a freeze state with the winning of the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay, and the reel effect or the pseudo game is performed during that time. Alternatively, an ART game number lottery that determines the number of AT games according to the result of the pseudo game is performed, and the total value of the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set as the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c. Start counting the number of remaining ART games. At this time, during the ART, it is interrupted by winning the special role, and the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by 1 except in the case of resuming when the bonus ends.

  After the ART starts, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won will be notified, so it is possible to reliably acquire 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. At the same time, it is possible to avoid winning the sub-competition and to shift to RT1.

  During ART, lottery conditions (in this embodiment, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, winning BB, RB, middle right bell 1-4 in RB (including RB in BB), right When the winning of the middle bells 1 to 4 is established, an extra lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games. Then, when winning the extra lottery, 7 navigation is executed at the time of subsequent normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 winning, and by performing a stop operation according to the notified operation mode, red 7 replay is performed. Or you can win a blue 7 replay. Also in this case, the main control unit 41 is controlled to be in a freeze state, during which reel effect or pseudo game is performed, and the sub control unit 91 performs reel effect or pseudo game in the same manner as at the start of ART. An ART game number lottery that determines the number of AT games according to the result is performed, and the total value of the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is added to the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c.

  Also, after the start of ART, every time one game is consumed, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1, and if a special role is won before the remaining number of games reaches 0, the fact that the special role has been won is confirmed. The bonus confirmation notification shown is performed. At the same time that the special role is won, RT2 ends, ART is interrupted, and the number of ART games is also interrupted. After that, the winning bonus of the selected special role is controlled to the corresponding bonus, and when the secondary role wins at RT3 which shifts after the bonus ends and the RT shifts to RT1, the ART confirmation notification is performed, and the AT control is resumed. Along with this, the transition to RT2 is made again through the preparation state, the ART start effect is performed, the ART is restarted, and the counting of the remaining number of games of the ART is restarted. In this case, the navigation stock is not consumed (subtracted) as described above.

  In addition, when the number of remaining games becomes 0 after the start of ART, if the number of remaining navigation stocks is not 0, a latent lottery for determining whether or not to hide ART is performed and it is not to be hidden. If determined, after executing the ART end effect indicating the end of the ART at the end of the game, it is notified that the ART will continue with the bet number setting operation of the next game, and then the first normal replay 1 Alternatively, 7 navigation is executed when the normal replay 2 is won, and a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay can be won by performing a stop operation according to the notified operation mode. An ART start effect that indicates the start of ART is triggered by the start operation of the next game in which the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won, and depending on the result of the reel effect that accompanies the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay, ART game lottery to determine the number of games is performed, the total value of the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set as the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c, and ART is restarted, and 1 Navistock is consumed (Subtract) to start counting the number of remaining games in ART.

  Also, if it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery, the number of latent games for a maximum of 32 games is determined, and after completion of the ART, an ART end effect indicating the end of the ART is executed, and then the AT control is terminated. Let

  In this state, since the navigation effect is not executed, it is impossible to avoid the winning of the secondary role when winning the push order bell, and when the secondary role wins, the transition to RT1 is made. RT2 will be maintained until winning, and if the secondary role does not win before the number of hidden games has passed, it will be notified that ART will continue with the betting number setting operation of the next game, and then the first When the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won, 7 navigation is executed, and the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay can be won by performing the stop operation according to the notified operation mode. In response to the start operation of the next game in which the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won, an ART start effect indicating the start of ART is executed, and depending on the result of the reel effect or the pseudo game associated with the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning The ART game number lottery to determine the number of AT games is performed, and the total value of the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set as the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c, and the ART is restarted. Is consumed (subtracted) to start counting the number of remaining games of ART.

  In addition, if it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery and the AT control is finished and the secondary role is won and the game shifts to RT1 before the number of latent games elapses, after the number of latent games has elapsed, the AT The control is resumed, and after that, after transitioning to RT2 through the preparation state, 7 navigation is executed at the time of winning the first normal replay 1 or normal replay 2, and the notified operation mode The red 7 replay or blue 7 replay can be won by performing the stop operation according to. In response to the start operation of the next game in which the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won, an ART start effect indicating the start of ART is executed, and depending on the result of the reel effect or the pseudo game associated with the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning The ART game number lottery to determine the number of AT games is performed, and the total value of the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set as the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c, and the ART is restarted. Is consumed (subtracted) to start counting the number of remaining games of ART.

  Further, after the start of ART, if the number of remaining games becomes 0 and the number of remaining navigation stocks is 0, an ART end effect is executed and the control of AT is ended. As a result, the navigation effect is not executed, so that it becomes impossible to avoid the winning of the secondary role when winning the push order bell, and a series of AT and ART control is performed by shifting to RT1 when the secondary role wins. Will end.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can win the promotion replay only when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop in RT1.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 stops the middle reel or the right reel in the first stop in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed (hereinafter referred to as the stop order). When the stop operation is performed in the case of an irregular press, the penalty period is controlled over a certain period (10 games in this embodiment).

  Further, in this embodiment, when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won, the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. It becomes.

  On the other hand, when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled, the sub-control unit 91 performs the stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped first. Even in the event that is performed, the penalty period is controlled.

  The sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect even in a normal state where it is not controlled by AT or ART, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped is executed. Accordingly, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, there is no control during the penalty period.

  In the penalty period, even if the lottery conditions are met, the navigation stock lottery will not be performed, and in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed, In this situation, the stop operation in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop is applied to the player because the stop operation is controlled during the penalty period and is disadvantageous to the player. This makes it possible to move to RT0 or RT2 despite the fact that RT1 is not controlled by RT1, or to win a red 7 or blue 7 replay without any meaning, as will be described later. It is possible to prevent the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay from winning and controlling to the frozen state without meaning.

  In this embodiment, in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed, the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop (hereinafter referred to as “stop”). When the stop operation is performed in the case of an irregular press), the penalty period is controlled over a certain period (10 games in this embodiment), but it is disadvantageous only in the game in which the operation is performed. It is good also as a structure (for example, penalty etc. which cannot give the privilege in the game).

  In this embodiment, in a normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed, the middle reel or the right reel is stopped in the stop order in which the first reel is stopped. When an operation is performed, a penalty is given regardless of the result of the internal lottery, but in the push order replay win, normal replay 1, 2 win, replay GR1-4, replay GR11-13, etc. When the result of the internal lottery that is subject to navigation notification or 7 navigation is given, a penalty is given by the stop operation in the order of stop with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, otherwise a penalty is given. It is good also as a structure which is not provided, By setting it as such a structure, it can prevent that a player produces disadvantage more than necessary.

  Furthermore, when the result of the internal lottery that is the target of navigation notification or 7 navigation is reached, the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, and the middle bell, promotion replay, special replay, red 7 replays, blue 7 replays are awarded, that is, if there is no navigation production or 7 navigation, a penalty will be given if a role that is not originally aligned stops, otherwise no penalty may be given, Even in the case of the configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged more than necessary.

  In the present embodiment, in RT1, which occupies most of the game, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Therefore, the player is more likely to stop in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop than when the player operates in the stop order with the middle reel as the first stop or in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop. It is designed so that the expected value of the game value that can be acquired in the game is high. The expected value specified here is not the expected value of only one game in RT1, but the game that takes into consideration the granting of rights (navigator stock) to the ART obtained after that one game is also continued. Shows the expected value. Therefore, the player should perform the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop.

  In other words, in this embodiment, it becomes easier to shift to RT0 or RT2 where the winning probability of the re-gamer is high by performing the stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. Therefore, in RT1, the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop is more effective than the stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Expectations are higher for the player.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, no penalty is given and the player is most advantageous to the player. A stop order of 1 stop is set as a recommended stop order recommended to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the flow of control relating to the reel effect executed by the main control unit 41 in accordance with the freeze state and the effect executed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment, in the winning game of the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2, when the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, the freezing out of the frozen state in the next game. Freeze lottery to determine whether to control 1 or Freeze 2 is performed. When controlling to Freeze 1, a reel effect is performed during that time, and when controlling to Freeze 2, a pseudo game is performed during that time. On the other hand, as described above, when one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to RT2 by winning the navigation stock, and then first normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 If the winning lottery is won, and the first normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 is won, 7 navigation for navigating the stop operation for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is executed. Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes the ART game number determination effect or the added game number determination effect during the period in which the main control unit 41 is controlled to be frozen.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 navigates when winning strong cherries, weak cherries, watermelons, common bells, middle right bells 1-4 in RB (including RB in BB), and right middle bells 1-4. Stock lottery or extra lottery. When one or more Navistocks are won in the Navistock lottery, or when an extra lottery is won, which of the 7 Navi mentioned above will be notified of the operation mode for winning a red 7 replay or blue 7 replay? The lottery result of the symbol lottery (in this embodiment, red 7 replay) is set in the RAM 91c.

  In the symbol lottery, the winning combination that triggered the Navistock lottery and the extra lottery (in this example, the strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell win, middle right bell in RB (including RB in BB) 1 -4, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is selected with a probability corresponding to the right middle bell 1 to 4), and the blue 7 replay is selected for a role having a lower winning probability in the internal lottery. The probability that the red 7 replay is selected is set higher than the probability.

  After that, when one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, the sub-control unit 91 performs ART confirmation notification and then controls to AT by controlling to the ready state and shifts to RT2. . When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the gaming state is RT2 based on the gaming state command and that the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is first won based on the internal lottery command, Do.

The 7 navigation, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the sub control unit 91, Ru on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the image of the red 7 and blue 7 to display a message Ma1 of "7 aim!". Further, based on the lottery result of the symbol lottery set in the RAM 91c (red 7 replay in this embodiment), an operation mode for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay, that is, the symbol lottery lottery in the RAM 91c. As a result, when it is set to notify the red 7 replay, the operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for winning the red 7 replay in accordance with the selected normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and it is set to notify the blue 91 replay as a lottery result of the symbol lottery in the RAM 91c, the blue 7 replay is selected according to the selected normal replay 1 or normal replay 2. By displaying the operation sequence of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for winning a prize on the liquid crystal display 51, the symbol lottery Prompting the user to select the red 7 replay or stop switch 8L in the operation aspect to winning the blue 7 replay, 8C, 8R is operated.

  In this state, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the operation order for stopping the red 7 replay, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the main control unit 41 performs the red 7 replay on the winning line LN. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of operation for stopping the blue 7 replay, the blue 7 replay is performed. The RAM 41c is set to stop the winning line LN to control the freeze state associated with the blue 7 replay winning, and the combination of symbols aligned with the winning line LN, that is, the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay can be specified. A winning number command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. On the other hand, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of the first left stop, the middle stage replay is stopped at the winning line LN. In this case, the RAM 41c is not set to control the freeze state.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives the stop operation time command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command, so that whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the operation order notified by the 7 navigation. When the operation is performed in accordance with the notified operation order (stop order for winning the red 7 replay in this embodiment), the fact is set in the RAM 91c, and the combination corresponding to 7 Navi is won. The 7-piece winning notification is notified.

In the 7-piece winning notification, as shown in FIG. 21C, the sub-control unit 91 displays an image indicating the winning combination (in the present embodiment, an image of “red 7-red 7-red 7”) on a liquid crystal display. causes display on the vessel 51, when the red 7 replay uniform red 7 disables the line LM2 to winning is to blink reel LED55 corresponding to invalid line LM2, disable line LM4 with blue 7 replay winning When blue 7 is aligned, the reel LED 55 corresponding to the invalid line LM4 is blinked.

  Further, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the stop operation time command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command and determines that the operation is not performed according to the operation order notified by 7 navigation, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the RAM 91c to that effect. In addition to the setting, as shown in FIG. 21D, a warning Ma 1 is given by displaying a message Ma3 on the liquid crystal display 51 instructing to perform a stop operation according to 7 navigation. Further, when a stop operation is performed without following 7 navigation and a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay is won and red 7 or blue 7 is aligned with the invalid line LM2 or LM4, it is shown in FIG. 21 (d). As described above, an invalid notification is made to display on the liquid crystal display 51 the message “invalid 7 assortment”, and the invalid 7 assortment stopped without following 7 navigation, and an ART game in a frozen state, which will be described later The fact that it is not effective as an opportunity to start the number determination effect or the added game number determination effect is recognized by invalid notification.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the sub-control unit 91, as shown in FIG. 21 (g), when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won when the navigation stock lottery or the extra lottery is not won. Do not perform navigation.

  And when the Navistock lottery or the extra lottery is not won, the stop switch in the stop order other than the above recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop) when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won When 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins, and red 7 or blue 7 symbols are aligned on the invalid line LM2 or LM4, “Replay!” Is output from the speakers 53 and 54 to notify that the re-gamer has won a prize, and to provide a warning notification 2 for instructing an operation in the recommended stop order, for a certain period (10 games in this embodiment). Control over the penalty period. If the Navistock lottery or the extra lottery is not won, and the red 7 or blue 7 symbols are not aligned on the invalid line LM2 or LM4 when the normal replay 1 or normal replay 2 is won, that is, in the recommended stop order. When it is determined that the middle stage replay has been won based on the winning command after the stop operation is performed, a winning notification for notifying the winning of the replay using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like is performed without performing the warning notification 2. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (h), in the warning notification 2, the sub-control unit 91 is operated in the stop order other than the recommended stop order by receiving the stop operation time command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command. When the determination is made, the fact is set in the RAM 91c, and the message Ma6 “Please operate from the left stop switch!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the operation in the recommended stop order is performed in the game after the next game. To be done. Further, as in the case of the warning notification 1, an invalid notification is made to display on the liquid crystal display 51 the message “invalid 7 assortment”, and the invalidity stopped due to being stopped in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. Recognize that the number is equal to 7 and is not effective as an opportunity to start an ART game number determination effect or an additional effect in a frozen state, which will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the game in which the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is won, the main control unit 41 wins the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay and the red 7 or the blue 7 symbol on the invalid line LM2 or LM4. If all of the above are complete, whether 7 navigation has been executed, whether red 7 replay or blue 7 replay has been won by operations according to 7 navigation, or has been won by operations not following 7 navigation, In the next game, the control is set to the freeze state. After the warning notification 2 is performed, the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is controlled to the freeze state in the game next to the winning game. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 refers to the RAM 91c at the start of the game and determines that it is the next game for which the above-described warning notification 2 has been performed, that is, the navigation stock that is a condition for executing 7 navigation In the situation where neither the condition of having won the RT2 due to the winning or the winning of the extra lottery has been fulfilled, if the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won and controlled to the freeze state, As described above, without giving a command to operate the MAXBET switch, an irregular freeze notification is made to display the message Ma7 on the liquid crystal display 51 such as “Please wait for an irregular freeze” and “After XX seconds”. Recognize that it has occurred and the waiting time to end the freeze. The irregular freeze notification is given when a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay is won in a situation where neither the conditions of having been transferred to RT2 by winning the Navistock or winning the extra lottery are satisfied. Since it will be performed following the warning notification 2, it is specified that a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay has been won in the situation where the condition for controlling the freeze state is not satisfied, and an unintended freeze has occurred. It is possible. Further, a message for allowing the player to recognize the end timing of the freeze state is displayed, so that the start timing of the progress of the game can be grasped.

  In this state, the main control unit 41 starts irregular control, and if a predetermined time (10 seconds in this embodiment) elapses without the MAXBET switch 6 being operated, irregular freezing occurs. The control in the freeze state is terminated, and each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is controlled to rotate at a constant speed to shift to a normal game. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, on the condition that a predetermined time (in this embodiment, 10 seconds) has passed without the MAXBET switch 6 being operated after starting the control in the freeze state. Although it is configured to end the control in the freeze state, for example, on the condition that the start switch 7 or the like has been operated before the predetermined time has elapsed and before the MAXBET switch 6 is operated. You may comprise so that control of a freeze state may be complete | finished. In this case, an unnecessary freeze state can be ended early by performing an effect that prompts an operation to end the control of the freeze state. In addition, there is no configuration for forcibly ending the freeze state with the passage of time or operation, and the freeze state may continue while the same control as when 7 navigation is performed, that is, while the continuous lottery is won. good. In this case, an unnecessary freeze state can be terminated early by adopting a configuration that performs an operation that prompts an operation for advancing the freeze state (operation of the start switch 7, operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc.). be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 20, when the start switch 7 is operated after the 7-piece winning notification is made, the main control unit 41 refers to the RAM 41c and freezes with the winning of the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay. If the setting to control the state is made, the control of the freeze state is started, and when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated in this state, the freeze lottery is performed to control either the freeze 1 or the freeze 2 If freeze 1 is won, control of freeze 1 is started and a freeze command that can specify whether or not the freeze is controlled and the type of freeze is sent to the sub-control unit 91 Send. Hereinafter, the control of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 regarding the freeze 1 will be described.

  When the control of freeze 1 is started, the main control unit 41 performs a continuation rate lottery that determines a continuation rate for continuing freeze 1 and waits until the MAXBET switch 6 is operated.

  In the continuation rate lottery, 50% or 80% is selected as the continuation rate for continuing freeze 1 at a selection rate according to the winning combination that is controlled by freeze 1. Compared to the case where the winning combination controlled by the red 7 replay is compared to the case where the winning combination controlled by the freeze 1 is the blue 7 replay, the continuation rate of 50% The selection rate at which the continuation rate of 80% is selected is set higher than the selection rate to be selected. For this reason, in the reel production to be described later, it is suggested that the possibility of a continuation rate of 50% is high when the red 7 is aligned, and the possibility that the continuation rate of 80% is high is indicated when the blue 7 is aligned. The Rukoto.

  On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 receives the freeze command, and refers to the RAM 91c to determine whether or not an operation according to the operation order notified in the previous 7 navigations has been performed. If the RAM 91c is set to indicate that the operation is performed in accordance with the operation order notified by 7 Navi, and the start timing of Freeze 1 is based on the navigation stock lottery, the number of games controlled by ART is determined. When the ART game number determination effect is started and the start timing of freeze 1 is based on an additional lottery, an additional game number determination effect (hereinafter referred to as an ART game number determination effect) is determined. By starting the game number determination effect together with the game number determination effect), a message Ma4 instructing the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 “Press the MAXBET switch!” As shown in FIG. And an image (in this embodiment, an image of the MAXBET switch 6 and an arrow indicating that the switch is operated) Pictures) running MAXBET switch operation instruction to display on the liquid crystal display 51, prompting the operation of MAXBET switch 6.

  In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 is set to indicate that the operation according to the operation order notified in the previous 7 navigation is not performed in the RAM 91c when the freeze command is received, the sub-control unit 91 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, by performing irregular freeze notification that causes the message Ma7 to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 such as “Please wait for a while during irregular freeze” and “Additional XX seconds”, the operation order notified in 7 Navi is changed. Recognize that an unintended freeze has occurred because the operation has not been performed, and a waiting time for ending the freeze.

  In this state, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the main control unit 41 starts the reel effect so that the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are once changed to prepare for the preparation (see FIG. 22A). In the stop mode), a preparation output stop command that can specify that the preparation output has been stopped is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and then waits until the start switch 7 is operated.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives the preparatory-out stop command, and, as shown in FIG. 22A, the message Ma8 instructing the operation of the start switch 7 “hit the lever!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a start switch operation instruction effect that prompts the start switch 7 to be operated is executed.

  In this state, when the start switch 7 is operated, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to continue the freeze 1 at the continuation rate determined by the continuation rate lottery. The stop mode when changing from the preliminary roll (in this embodiment, the red 7 alignment that aligns the red 7 with the invalid line LM3 (see FIG. 22B)) and the blue that aligns the blue 7 with the invalid line LM4 A continuous lottery that determines seven matches (see FIG. 22C)) is performed, and a continuous result command that can specify the lottery result by the continuous lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In the continuation lottery, the continuation rate determined by the continuation rate lottery, that is, with the probability of 50% or 80%, is determined whether to continue the control of the freeze 1 or not to continue, and continue it. In this case, the stop mode of the reel to be stopped as the reel effect is determined, and the case where the continuation rate is 80% is more blue than the case where the continuation rate is 50%. The ratio at which the blue 7 alignment is selected among the alignment and the red 7 alignment is set high.

  After the continuous lottery is performed, the main control unit 41 determines that the lottery result by the continuous lottery indicates that the freeze 1 is continued and the reels are stopped in a red 7-equipped stop mode. As shown in FIG. 22B, after the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are changed from the preparatory outcomes, red 7 is aligned with the invalid line LM3 and temporarily stopped, as shown in FIG. The control of freeze 1 is continued by changing 2C and 2R again, stopping at the preparation output, and returning to a state of waiting until the start switch 7 is operated.

  At this time, the sub-control unit 91 receives a continuation result command, that is, at a timing when a red 7 assortment is derived, and selects one of a plurality of games with a probability corresponding to the red 7 assortment specified from the continuation result command. The number of games is determined as the number of ART games, and the number of winning games is added to the number of remaining ART games stored in the RAM 91c. As shown in FIG. , The message Ma9 “Yeah ~! + XXX acquisition!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to execute the ART game number addition notification effect for notifying the added ART game number, and then FIG. As shown in d), by displaying the message Ma10 “Once again!” on the liquid crystal display 51, the fact that the control of the freeze state is continued, that is, Et al to run the continuation notification effect that the number of games of ART is to inform to the effect that there is a possibility to be added, then, by receiving the preparation outcome stop command, to execute the start switch operation instructions directing again.

  Further, when the lottery result by the continuous lottery indicates that the freeze 1 is continued and the reels are stopped in a blue 7-equal stop mode, as shown in FIG. 22 (c). In addition, after the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are changed from the preparatory roll and the blue line 7 is aligned with the invalid line LM4 and temporarily stopped, the lottery result by the continuous lottery continues the freeze 1 and the stop mode is aligned with the red color 7 As shown in FIG. 22 (d), the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are changed again to stop at the preparation output, and the start switch 7 is operated, as in the case of indicating that the reel is to be stopped. The control of freeze 1 is continued by returning to the standby state until

  At this time, the sub-control unit 91 receives a continuation result command, that is, at a timing when a blue 7-alignment is derived, and selects one of a plurality of games with a probability corresponding to the blue 7-alignment specified from the continuation result command. The number of games is determined as the number of ART games, and the number of winning games is added to the number of remaining ART games stored in the RAM 91c. As shown in FIG. The game number addition notification effect is executed, and then, as shown in FIG. 22D, the continuous notification effect is executed, and then the start switch operation instruction effect is executed again by receiving the preparation-out stop command. .

  In the ART game number lottery, the probability corresponding to the red 7 assortment, that is, the lottery probability of the ART game number applied when it is specified that the blue 7 assortment is derived based on the continuation result command is the blue 7 assortment. The average value of the determined number of ART games is higher than the corresponding probability, that is, the lottery probability of the number of ART games applied when it is specified that the red 7 assortment is derived based on the continuation result command. When the blue 7 alignment is derived to the reel 2, it is possible to expect that more ART games are added than when the red 7 alignment is derived. .

  As shown in FIG. 22 (e), the main control unit 41 does not operate the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R from the ready-out state when the lottery result by the continuous lottery is non-continuous. Enter the end stage. In the end stage, when the start switch 7 is operated before 10 seconds elapses after the transition to the end stage, or after 10 seconds elapses before the start switch 7 is operated after the transition to the end stage. The freeze state is terminated and a reel acceleration information 1 command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Thereafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are started to change so that the positional relationship between the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R becomes random, and then the reels are stopped by the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R by rotating at a constant speed. Activate.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 22 (e), the sub-control unit 91 displays a message Ma 11 of “Sorry…” on the liquid crystal display 51 to execute a result notification effect that notifies that the freeze state is not continued. . In addition, as shown in FIG. 22 (f), the message Ma12 indicating the total number of ART games added during the control of the freeze 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display at the timing when the main control unit 41 shifts to the end stage. Display the message Ma13 “Please operate the lever” on the liquid crystal display 51, and display the end notification effect for prompting the operation of the start switch 7 to end the freeze state. Run until is received. When the freeze end command is received, the end notification effect is ended, and the freeze effect (ART game number determination effect, additional game number determination effect) is ended, and the control shifts to the normal game effect control.

  In the present embodiment, after the freeze state is finished, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start to change so that the positional relationship between the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R becomes random. The positional relationship between 2C and 2R may be stored, and after the freeze ends, the positional relationship between the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R before the freeze start may be restored. Alternatively, the freeze state may be terminated after the positional relationship between the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is random or after the positional relationship between the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is returned to the positional relationship before the start of freezing.

  Hereinafter, control related to Freeze 2 in the freeze state performed by the main control unit 41 and control of the sub control unit 91 related to the pseudo game associated with Freeze 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the main control unit 41 determines that the continuation rate is 50% as the type of continuation rate of the freeze 2 when the condition for controlling the freeze 2 is established when the freeze 2 is won in the freeze lottery. A continuation rate lottery for determining one of the continuation rates of 80% is performed, and whether or not the freeze 2 is continued at the continuation rate determined by the continuation rate lottery, and if it is to be continued, it can be stopped in a pseudo game Possible stop modes (in this embodiment, red 7 aligned with the ineffective line LM3 (see FIG. 24 (b)) and blue 7 aligned with the ineffective line LM4 with blue 7 (see FIG. 24 (c)) ) Is determined, and a continuation result command capable of specifying the result of the continuation lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In the continuation rate lottery, 50% or 80% is selected as the continuation rate for continuing freeze 2 at a selection rate according to the winning combination that has been controlled by freeze 2, and the freeze state is entered. Compared to the case where the winning combination controlled by the red 7 replay is compared to the case where the winning combination controlled by the freeze 2 is the blue 7 replay, the continuation rate is 50%. The selection rate at which the continuation rate of 80% is selected is set higher than the selection rate to be selected.

  In the continuation lottery, the continuation rate determined by the continuation rate lottery, that is, with the probability of 50% or 80%, is determined whether to continue the control of the freeze 2 or not to continue, and to continue it. In this case, the stop mode of the reel that can be stopped in the pseudo game is determined, and the case where the continuation rate is 80% is compared with the case where the continuation rate is 50%. The probability that the red 7 assortment is selected is set higher than the probability that the blue 7 assortment is selected. Therefore, the stop operation is aimed at “Red 7” and “Blue 7”, and it is suggested that there is a high possibility of a continuation rate of 50% when the red 7 is aligned, and the continuation rate is achieved when the blue 7 is aligned. It is suggested that the possibility of 80% is high.

  Then, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub-control unit 91 a reel acceleration information 2 command that can specify the rotation start with the progress of the pseudo game, and that the reel rotation starts after the continuation rate lottery and the continuous lottery. At the same time, the rotation of the reel is started to start the pseudo game, and when the reel is rotated at a constant speed, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be accepted as an operation not related to the progress of the game. ), The stop effective LEDs 22L, 22C, and 22R are turned on to prompt the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives the continuation result command, and regardless of the lottery result of the continuation lottery, as shown in FIG. An image that prompts a stop operation aiming at “7” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a stop operation instruction effect that prompts the stop operation in the displayed operation mode is executed.

  When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in this state, the main control unit 41, as shown in FIGS. 24 (b) to (d), displays the result of the continuous lottery and the game in which 7 navigation is performed. Control is performed to stop the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch in accordance with the winning combination (red 7 replay, blue 7 replay), stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R and the operation timing. Specifically, this is a case where continuation is determined, and when red 7 alignment is determined, when a stop operation is performed in the order of stopping in the middle right and left in the pseudo game, “red 7-red 7-red 7 ”Is aligned with the invalid line LM2, that is, it is controlled to be able to align the same symbol combination as the red 7 replay, and when the continuation is determined, and when the blue 7 alignment is determined, Control is performed so that the combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned with the invalid line LM4, that is, the combination of symbols similar to the blue 7 replay is aligned. If non-continuation is decided, the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is also “blue 7-blue 7-blue” when the stop operation is performed in the right middle left order in the pseudo game. No combination of “7” is arranged, and the control is performed so that the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged on the winning line LN.

  For this reason, if the continuous lottery is won and the red 7 alignment is determined, the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping in the middle right and left, and the pull-in range of “red 7” and “blue 7” for all reels. In this case, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), when the red 7 is aligned, the continuous lottery is won, and the blue 7 aligned is determined by the symbol lottery, When all the reels are stopped within the pull-in range of “Red 7” and “Blue 7”, as shown in FIG. 24 (c), blue 7 is aligned, and the continuous lottery is not won. Even when the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping in the middle right and left and in the pull-in range of “red 7” and “blue 7” for all the reels, as shown in FIG. It will not be any of the blue 7 matches, but will be a replay match.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 performs the ART game number lottery if the continuous lottery is won, and if the ART is started, the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is determined as the number of ART games to be started. If it is during ART, the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is added to the remaining number of ART games, and the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. If the continuous lottery is won as described above, it can be red 7 or blue 7 in the pseudo game. Therefore, the red 7 or blue 7 and the number of ART games are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Is displayed, the number of ART games to be started or the addition of the number of ART games is notified. In addition, even if the red game is not aligned to 7 or blue 7 in the pseudo game, the ART game number lottery is performed if the continuous lottery is won, and the ART game number is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, the number of ART games to be started or the addition of the number of ART games is notified. In the present embodiment, in the pseudo game, when the stop operation is performed in the “red 7” pull-in range as in the normal game, that is, after the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the above-mentioned maximum stop delay time ( When “Red 7” can be stopped on the invalid line LM2 within 190 ms), the combination of “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” can be aligned in the lower stage, and the “Blue 7” pull-in range When the stop operation is performed, that is, within the maximum stop delay time after the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, “blue 7” is stopped between the invalid line LM4 or the winning line LN and the invalid line LM4. When possible, the combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” can be aligned to the right, but the timing switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the pseudo game. Regardless of the configuration in which the combination of “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” or the combination of “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” can be arranged, that is, different from the normal game, it exceeds the drawing range. A combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” may be arranged.

  Also, when the reel is stopped in the pseudo game as described above, unlike the case where the reel is stopped in the normal game, the reel is vibrated after the target stop position is derived without completely stopping the reel. It is designed to perform control.

  The main control unit 41 terminates one set of the pseudo game by stopping all reels in the pseudo game, and then, if the continuation is won in the continuous lottery, the operation of the start switch 7 is changed to the game. It can be accepted as an operation not related to the progress.

  After that, the system waits until the start switch 7 is operated. When the start switch 7 is operated in this state, the control associated with the pseudo game (reel acceleration information 2 command transmission, continuous lottery, symbol lottery, reel rotation start) The stop valid LEDs 22L, 22C, and 22R are turned on and the stop control associated with the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R) is repeatedly performed until it is determined in the continuous lottery that the freeze 2 is not continued.

  Further, the main control unit 41 executes a reel acceleration process in which the relative positional relationship of each reel is a random positional relationship when all reels are stopped in the pseudo game and the continuous lottery is not won. After that, the freeze 2 is ended, and accordingly, a reel acceleration information 2 command indicating that the reel starts to rotate and the start of the rotation accompanying the progress of the normal game, that is, the end of the freeze 2 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Thereafter, the rotation of the reel is started and the constant speed rotation is performed, so that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R can be accepted as an operation related to the progress of the game.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 receives a stop operation time command, a sliding frame number command, and a stop command corresponding to all reels, that is, when all reels stop, the continuation result received before that When the result of the continuous lottery specified from the command indicates that the freeze 2 is continued, as shown in FIGS. 24 (b) to (d), a message “Yeah ~! + XX (+50 in the figure)” is displayed. After performing the ART game number addition notification to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and notifying the number of games won in the ART game number lottery, as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a start operation instruction effect for prompting the operation of the start switch 7 is executed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 receives the continuation result received before receiving the stop operation time command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command corresponding to all the reels, that is, when all the reels are stopped. If the result of the continuous lottery specified from the command indicates non-continuation of freeze 2, as shown in FIG. 24 (e), a message “sorry ...” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and freeze 2 is completed. An end notification effect for informing the effect is executed. Thereafter, by receiving a reel acceleration information 1 command indicating the end of freeze 2, as shown in FIG. 24 (f), a message “Total + XXX (300 in the figure) acquired” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, a result notification effect for notifying the total number of ART games given in Freeze 2 is executed, and a series of controls accompanying Freeze 2 is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, in the game next to the game in which the lottery result of the internal lottery is normal replay 1 and normal replay 2 and red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped on reels 2L, 2C and 2R. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 can control the game in the next game after the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. , Freeze effects (ART game number determination effect, additional game number determination effect) can be executed.

  In such a configuration, if the frequency at which the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped is high, not only is the freezing state controlled each time, but also a freezing effect is executed. May be annoying.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, when the lottery result of the internal lottery is normal replay 1 and normal replay 2, and red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. In addition, even if the lottery result of the internal lottery is normal replay 1 and normal replay 2, the combination of symbols other than red 7 replay and blue 7 replay is stopped on reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. In some cases, control is not performed in the freeze state, and when the lottery result of the internal lottery is normal replay 1 or normal replay 2, other than the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop) When stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the operation mode, control is performed so that red 7 replay and blue 7 replay can be stopped, and stop switch 8L, C, and so as to perform control to stop red 7 replay symbol combination other than blue 7 Replay (middle replay) when 8R is operated.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 wins the navigation stock lottery and shifts to RT2, and executes 7 navigation to stop the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, or Accompanying the freeze state when the winning lottery is selected and 7 Navi is executed and either one of the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Freeze effects (ART game number determination effect, additional game number determination effect) can be executed, and even if red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is stopped on reels 2L, 2C, 2R, neither condition is satisfied In such a case, the freeze effect is not executed.

  And in the state where the execution condition of the freeze effect is not satisfied as described above, that is, the stop of the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay is not permitted, the lottery result of the internal lottery is normal replay 1 and normal replay 2 In some cases, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, control is performed during a penalty period that is disadvantageous to the player.

  As a result, specific conditions (the winning of the Navistock lottery and the transition to RT2 and the winning of the extra lottery) are satisfied, and the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped on the reels 2L, 2C and 2R. Freeze effect (ART game number determination effect, additional game number determination effect) can be executed, but if the specific condition is not satisfied even if the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped, the freeze effect is executed Since the freeze effect is not executed every time the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped, it is possible to prevent the player from being bothered by the freeze effect.

  In addition, when the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the freeze state can be controlled regardless of whether or not the freeze effect is executed, so even if the freeze effect is not executed. The player can recognize that the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay have stopped.

  In addition, when the normal replay 1 and 2 are selected, if the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay can be stopped, When the reels are stopped in the stop order with the first stop, the stop mode is other than red 7 replay or blue 7 replay, and the stop of red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is not permitted, ie, the middle reel or In the state where the stop operation in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop is not permitted, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay can be stopped at the time of normal replay 1 and 2 winning. As a result, a penalty period is given to the player, so stop operations in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop are permitted. In absence, the red 7 Replay or blue 7 replay is stopped even for also suppressed to be controlled in frozen state, it is possible to prevent the controlled unwanted frozen.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the promotion replay can be awarded only when the stop operation is performed in the stopping order in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped first in RT1, that is, the left reel is stopped first. In a configuration in which it is more advantageous for the player to perform the stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop than in the case where In a situation where the navigation effect in the state is not executed, when a stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, a penalty period over a certain period, that is, a disadvantage is given. However, regardless of the order in which the reels are stopped, even in a configuration where the player's advantage is hardly changed, the freeze state is controlled as described above. In order to avoid the role of moving to the stop order in which the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay will win, and unnecessary replay time (such as a situation where a specific replay player is likely to win even though the winning probability of the replay player is almost the same) In addition, the red 7 replay, the blue 7 replay, and a specific stop order in which the transition to the unnecessary replay time can be stopped (in this embodiment, in the stop order with the middle reel and the right reel as the first stop). When the stop operation is not permitted, if a stop operation is performed in a specific stop order, no warning will be given to the player, but a warning will be issued to prompt a stop operation other than the specific stop order. Even if it is set as such a structure, it can suppress controlling to an unnecessary freeze state and an unnecessary replay time.

  In this embodiment, as an operation procedure for stopping the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay at the time of normal replay 1 and 2 winning, a plurality of stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to a plurality of reels are used. Although the operation procedure that operates in any one of the operation orders is applied, the operation procedure that operates at any one of the plurality of different operation timings, the operation procedure that combines the stop order and the operation timing. It may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the normal replay 1 and 2 are selected, the red 7 replay is always performed if the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Or the blue 7 replay is configured to win, but it stops in a specific stop order, and when the stop operation is performed at a specific timing, the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, but stops in a specific stop order Even when the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the specific timing, a configuration in which the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are not won may be employed.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the freeze state is always controlled when the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, but when the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, other conditions (for example, Further, it may be configured to be controlled to the freeze state when RT2 is in progress, a predetermined operation means is operated, or the like.

  Further, in this embodiment, the operation procedure for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is an operation mode randomly determined from a plurality of operation modes, but may be a uniformly fixed operation mode.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can perform ART control as a privilege advantageous to the player, and the specific condition is determined based on the fact that the navigation stock lottery or the extra lottery is won. It is established, and when the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped on the reels 2L, 2C and 2R, the ART is controlled and specified even if the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped on the reels 2L, 2C and 2R. When the condition is not satisfied, the ART is not controlled, and the operation is performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop) in a situation where the specific condition is not satisfied. Since ART control is not performed even if red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped, fairness can be ensured and red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are unnecessarily stopped. Or it is, it is possible to prevent controlled by the freeze state.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can stop the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in the reel production or the pseudo game in the frozen state, and the sub control unit 91 In the reel production and the pseudo game, the specific conditions (the winning of the Navistock lottery and the transition to RT2 and the winning of the extra lottery) are established, and the reels 2L, 2C and 2R are red 7 replays, blue While 7 replays are derived, the number of ART games is added. On the other hand, the specific conditions are not satisfied even if red 7 replays and blue 7 replays are derived for reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in reel effects and pseudo games. In some cases, the number of ART games is not added, and red 7 replies can be obtained by operating in a stop order other than the recommended stop order when specific conditions are not satisfied. B) Since the number of games in ART is not added even when the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped in the reel production or the pseudo game in the freeze state due to the stop of the blue 7 replay, the fairness can be ensured. .

  Note that the benefit that is advantageous to the player given by the sub-control unit 91 may be other than the number of games controlled by ART or the number of games of ART, and it is possible to shift to an advantageous state advantageous to the player. A right (winning a lottery to determine whether or not to generate an advantageous state, allowing a winning to move to an advantageous state, etc.), a right to notify an operation mode advantageous to a player, and a gaming value The right to be controlled in a gaming state with a high expected value, the right to notify whether or not the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player, the period to be controlled in the advantageous state (fixed number of games, end condition Such as the average value of the number of games fluctuating depending on the player's benefit, etc., and may be directly advantageous for the player. Such as the order of conditions, it may be indirectly advantageous benefits for the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay in a situation where the specific conditions (the winning of the navigation stock lottery and the transition to RT2 and the winning of the extra lottery are not established). Is disabled to perform notification that can be recognized that it is not controlled by the ART as a privilege, and even if the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped, the specific condition is not satisfied. When the privilege is not granted, the fact can be recognized, so that misunderstanding of the player can be prevented.

  Further, in this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay in a situation where the specific conditions (the winning of the navigation stock lottery and the transition to RT2 and the winning of the extra lottery are not established). When the freeze is controlled and the freeze state is controlled, an irregular freeze notification effect different from the freeze effect is executed. By executing the irregular freeze notification effect different from the freeze effect, a specific condition is set. It is possible to make the player recognize that the control has been performed in the freeze state even though is not established.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay in a situation where the specific conditions (the winning of the navigation stock lottery and the transition to RT2 and the winning of the extra lottery are not satisfied) are satisfied. When it is stopped and controlled to the freeze state, an irregular freeze notification effect different from the freeze effect is executed. In the irregular freeze notification effect, `` Please wait for a while during irregular freeze '' and `` The message Ma7 “after XX seconds” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. However, in the irregular freeze notification production, for example, “Please operate from the left stop switch” as well as the warning notification 2. Message Ma6 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the user is prompted even though the specific condition is not satisfied. It may be configured to warn that the operation is performed in the stop order other than the stop order. With such a configuration, the operation is performed in the stop order other than the recommended stop order in a situation where the specific condition is not satisfied by the warning. Can encourage players not to let

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 operates the MAXBET switch 6 before a predetermined time (10 seconds in this embodiment) elapses after starting the control of the freeze state. While continuing the state, the sub-control unit 91 executes the MAXBET switch operation instruction when the specific condition is satisfied, prompts the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, and continues the freeze state. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 starts the control in the freeze state and the MAXBET switch 6 is not operated and a predetermined time (in this embodiment, 10 seconds) elapses, an irregular freeze has occurred. The sub-control unit 91 executes the irregular freeze notification effect when the sub-control unit 91 is controlled to the freeze state when the specific condition is not satisfied. Thus, by waiting for a predetermined time (in this example, 10 seconds) from the start of the freeze state, the freeze state is prompted to end, and the unnecessary freeze state can be ended early. It can be done.

  The main control unit 41 is a predetermined operation other than continuing the freeze state after the start of the freeze state, that is, an operation other than the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 which is an operation for continuing the freeze state in this embodiment, For example, it may be configured to include an end means for ending the freeze state by an operation of the start switch 7 or the like, and to execute an effect that prompts the predetermined operation in the irregular freeze notification effect. The forced freeze state can be forcibly terminated.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 notifies that the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped when the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. While notifying all winning prizes, specific conditions even if red 7 replay and blue 7 replay are stopped on reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (Navistock lottery and transition to RT2, winning extra lottery) Is not established, notification by 7-win prize notification is restricted, and even if the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped, the specific condition is not established even if the red 7 replay is stopped. Since the notification that the blue 7 replay is stopped is restricted, it is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are stopped.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 variably displays the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in the frozen state, and then temporarily stops the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. In addition to performing a pseudo game, control is also performed so that the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay can be stopped when operated in a stop order other than the recommended stop order in the pseudo game, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are controlled in the recommended stop order. When the is operated, the control of stopping the combination of red 7 replay and blue 7 replay can be performed, while the sub-control unit 91 stops in a stop order other than the recommended stop order in the pseudo game. When the switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, control is not performed during the penalty period, and the pseudo game in the frozen state, that is, In the game itself, which does not affect the player's profits in any way, even if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, the penalty period is controlled and no disadvantage is given. It is possible to prevent the interest from deteriorating due to the player being given more disadvantage than necessary.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs control related to the AT for notifying the operation mode advantageous for the player (navigation stock lottery, extra lottery, navigation production, navigation stock number, management of the number of remaining games, etc.). The main control unit 41 may be configured to perform part or all of the control related to the AT.

  In the configuration in which the main control unit 41 performs control related to the AT, AT notification means (for example, an LED during AT) that can specify that the AT is in progress, and an operation that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player A mode notification unit (for example, a navigation LED that can specify the stop order and operation timing of each reel) is provided, and the AT control unit and the operation mode notification unit can be directly driven by the main control unit 41. Preferably, such a configuration allows the player to recognize necessary information during the AT without depending on the control of the sub-control unit 91. The AT notification means and the operation mode notification means may be configured to be shared with existing notification means such as the game auxiliary display 12 or may be configured to include dedicated notification means.

  Further, even in such a configuration, the main control unit 41 transmits a command that can specify whether or not the AT is being performed to the sub-control unit 91, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on the command. By performing an effect during the AT, the player can be surely recognized that the AT is being performed. The main control unit 41 transmits a command that can specify the operation mode to be notified to the sub control unit 91 when the operation mode notification means notifies the operation mode advantageous to the player. The control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect that notifies the same operation mode as the operation mode notified by the operation mode notification means controlled on the main control unit 41 side based on the command. Thus, when the operation mode is notified by the operation mode notification unit during an AT or the like, the player can be surely recognized the operation mode notified by the operation mode notification unit.

  Also, the main control unit 41 has an operation mode that is advantageous to the player from the contents, such as an internal winning command, when winning a role having a plurality of operation modes having different advantages except during the AT. Without sending a command that makes it possible to specify a command, it is possible to specify the type of the winning role when winning a role that has multiple operation modes with different degrees of advantage, but send a command that cannot specify an advantageous operation mode. During the AT, the sub-control unit transmits a command that can specify the type of winning combination and an advantageous operation mode at each game start, or separately transmits a command that can specify an advantageous operation mode. 91 may be configured to identify and notify an operation mode advantageous to the player. With such a configuration, even if any fraud is made, the sub-control unit It is not possible to identify the advantageous operation mode for the player 1 side it can be prevented from disadvantages by such illegal occurs.
