Description

  The present invention includes a display unit having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation unit for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display columns, and when all the variable display columns are stopped. The present invention relates to a gaming machine for giving a privilege to a player according to a symbol combination of (i).

  The slot machine, which is one of the gaming machines, includes a main control unit for controlling a game and a sub-control unit for controlling an effect. The sub-control unit controls a peripheral device for the effect, and a main control unit. Is generally distributed to the sub-control units. In addition, this type of slot machine has an assist time (hereinafter, referred to as "AT") function capable of not decreasing or increasing the number of medals possessed by a player (hereinafter, referred to as "AT"). Is referred to as an “AT machine”).

  In this type of AT machine, for example, a simultaneous winning combination that simultaneously wins a plurality of combinations with different payouts is set, and which of these combinations is given a higher priority is determined by the order of pressing the stop switch. Some are determined according to the operation procedure. In this case, during the AT, for example, when the simultaneous winning combination is won, a pushing order for winning a winning combination with a higher payout (advantageous pushing order) by an effect using an effecting peripheral device such as a liquid crystal display. Will be notified. Specifically, information on the type of the role internally won by the role lottery and information on the advantageous pushing order when the internal winning is simultaneously performed on the simultaneous winning combination are transmitted from the main control unit to the sub control unit. The sub-control unit controls a liquid crystal display, an LED lamp, and the like during the AT, and executes a notification effect for notifying the player of the received advantageous pressing order (hereinafter, a game in which the notification effect is executed is referred to as “AT game”). "). Here, when the player operates the stop switch in the notified push order, the player wins a winning combination with a higher payout, so that the number of medals possessed by the player can be increased.

  In addition, in AT machines, as the duration of the AT game increases, the number of medals obtained increases accordingly. Therefore, usually, whether or not the duration of the AT game is increased when a so-called rare small role such as cherry or watermelon is won is determined. To increase the interest of the players. However, in the case of such a configuration, the player is expected to expect the duration of the AT game to be extended indefinitely, which may excessively stimulate gambling. Therefore, conventionally, in a gaming machine having an AT function, a technique has been proposed for preventing a player from excessively inciting gambling. For example, in the gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1, in a slot machine having an AT function, the difference number (payout number-insertion number) is classified into three of -5,000 or less, -5000 to +5000, and +5000 or more. However, when the game belongs to the category having a large number of positive differences, the winning probability of the additional lottery for the duration of the AT game and the number of additional games when the additional lottery is won are both reduced. In this way, in the state where the number of acquired games is large, it is difficult to increase the duration of the AT game, and the number of added games can be reduced even if the increase occurs. Therefore, the number of medals awarded in the AT game can be suppressed, and the player can be prevented from excessively insulting the player in the AT game.

JP 2014-94277 A (paragraphs 0058 to 0061, FIG. 3 and others)

  By the way, since the medals continue to increase during the duration of the AT game, a limit (limiter) may be set for the duration. When the above-described configuration is applied to such a gaming machine, as the vehicle approaches the limiter, both the winning probability of the additional lottery in the AT period and the number of additional games at the time of the additional lottery decrease. In this case, although it is possible to prevent the player from excessively inciting gambling, for example, despite the fact that he / she has won the lottery in the same way, the profit obtained when approaching the limiter is reduced, and the player's profit is reduced. There is an adverse effect of lowering the interest, and it is difficult to achieve both suppression of the gambling spirit of the player and improvement of the interest.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in a gaming machine equipped with an AT function, by setting a limit on the duration of an AT game, it is possible to prevent a player from excessively inciting gambling. In addition, an object of the present invention is to improve a decrease in interest of a player due to setting a limit to the duration.

And right continuation period determining means for determining a special game continuation period, wherein the special game permissible state satisfies a predetermined ending condition including completion of the special game continuation period determined by the right continuation period determination means. Or when the game is continued for a predetermined period of time without satisfying the end condition, the special game control means performs the special game in the special game permissible state and the game in the special game continuation period. The special game is performed when the combination lottery result of the lottery means is the specific combination winning result, and the special game continuation period is a predetermined number of set sections. Made is, the plurality of sets section, with a limit is provided in both the duration, in said plurality of sets intervals, while others shorter period than the limit is defined as the duration, The length of the special game continuation period is determined by determining whether the continuation of the set section is continued in the next set section or ending in the set section, and the right continuation period is determined. The determining means determines whether to continue to the next set section when the set section ends or to end the special game continuation period in the set section based on a predetermined continuation rate. If, at a given extension trigger, the predetermined subsequent extension acquired next set period to set et a continued period is set interval of the extended acquisition set interval is extended trigger is obtained setting section Between, and the next set duration extension means for extending the range of up to the limit of the extension acquired next set period, in the extended acquisition set interval, continuing period of the extended acquisition following set interval by the next set of duration extension means Is determined to be extended to the limit, and at a predetermined continuation rate increase opportunity, the continuation rate increasing means for increasing the predetermined continuation rate used for determining the end determination means when the extended acquisition set section ends. And characterized in that:

According to this configuration, the special game permission state in which the special game is permitted ends (limits) when the predetermined period is continued without satisfying the end condition, so that an upper limit can be provided for the special game continuation period. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the ambition of the player that the special game can continuously acquire a large amount of medals for a long period of time. Also, in terms of the special game duration and the game of continuation rate type, because the continuation time we are defined in the extension acquired next set period at a predetermined extension trigger is extended (plus), continuation rate type games Although it is a sex, you can also enjoy an additional type of game. Further, after determining that the continuation period is extended to the limit, because the continuation rate when the end of the extended acquisition set interval at a predetermined continuous rate increase triggered increases, extending the extension acquired following set intervals to the upper After the determination is made, there is a high possibility that, with a predetermined continuation rate increase opportunity, the continuation to the extended acquisition next set section will be continued. That is, in the configuration in which the limiter is provided, both the additional benefit and the increase in the continuation rate can be given to the player to increase the interest of the player, and the dissatisfaction of the player with the limiter can be alleviated.

Further, another gaming machine according to the present invention includes a display unit having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation unit for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display columns.

A special game control means for performing a special game in which an advantageous operation procedure corresponding to the specific role is identifiably notified when a specific role winning result of the specific role is obtained, and a special game which does not allow the special game. In the game in the game non-permissible state, the permissible state determining means for determining whether or not to enter the special game permissible state in which the special game is permissible, and the special game continuation period in which the right to perform the special game continues. The special game allowance state is determined when the predetermined end condition including the end of the special game duration determined by the right duration determination means is satisfied, or The special game control means terminates when a predetermined period is continued without the end condition being satisfied, and the special game control means is in the special game permissible state, and in the game of the special game continuation period, the role lottery of the role lottery means The special game is performed when a result is the specific role winning result, and the special game continuation period is configured by a plurality of set sections whose number is predetermined, and Tsu DOO section, together with the limits are provided in both the duration, in said plurality of sets intervals, while others shorter period than the limit is defined as the duration, the continuation of the set interval The length of the special game continuation period is determined by determining whether to continue to the next set section or to end in the set section by the determination. When the set section ends, whether to continue to the next set section or to end the special game continuation period in the set section based on a predetermined continuation rate; In the continuation rate increase acquisition set section, which is the set section in which the predetermined continuation rate increase trigger is obtained, the predetermined continuation rate used for the determination of the end determination means is increased by the rate increase trigger. In the continuation rate increasing means and the continuation rate increasing acquisition set section, it is determined that the continuation rate increasing means continues to the continuation rate increasing acquisition next set section which is the next set section of the continuation rate increasing acquisition section. And a next set continuation period extending means for extending the continuation period defined in the continuation rate increase acquisition next set section up to a limit of the continuation rate increase acquisition next set section at a predetermined extension opportunity. It is characterized by:

According to this configuration, the special game permission state in which the special game is permitted ends (limits) when the predetermined period is continued without satisfying the end condition, so that an upper limit can be provided for the special game continuation period. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the ambition of the player that the special game can continuously acquire a large amount of medals for a long period of time. In addition, when there is a predetermined continuation rate increase trigger, the continuation rate of the set section (continuation rate increase acquisition set section) increases, so that the possibility of continuing to the extended acquisition next set section increases. Moreover, the increase in continuing interest, if it is confirmed to continue the next set period (retention rate increases acquired next set period), subsequent predetermined extension trigger, continuing period of the next set of sections is extended Therefore, it is possible to enjoy an additional type of game while being a continuation rate type of game. That is, in the configuration in which the limiter is provided, both the additional benefit and the increase in the continuation rate can be given to the player to increase the interest of the player, and the dissatisfaction of the player with the limiter can be alleviated.

Further, the apparatus further comprises sub-control means for controlling an effect in accordance with the progress of a game based on information transmitted from the main control means, wherein the sub-control means is configured to extend the next set by the next set duration extending means. After it is determined that the duration of the section is extended to the limit, a control of a continuation rate increase possibility effect indicating that the predetermined continuation rate may increase may be performed.

According to this configuration, it can be seen that continued period of a next set of sections (extended acquisition following set section) is extended to the upper limit, or at a subsequent predetermined continuation rate increase triggered the predetermined continuation rate increases, it is possible to prevent confusion or continuation period to extend.

The game machine further includes sub-control means for controlling an effect in accordance with the progress of a game based on information transmitted from the main control means, wherein the sub-control means increases the predetermined continuation rate by the continuation rate increasing means. in after it is confirmed to continue the ongoing rate increases acquired following set interval suggests next set extension that continuation period we are defined above retention rate increases acquired following set interval may be extended The control of the possibility effect may be performed.

According to this configuration, it can be seen that it has been determined to continue the next set period (retention rate increases acquired next set period), or at a subsequent predetermined extended opportunity for the predetermined continuous rate increases, continuing period Can be prevented from being confused.

  Further, the predetermined extension trigger and the predetermined continuation rate increase trigger may be the same trigger.

According to this configuration, the extended opportunity for continued periods, the become a predetermined extension trigger and the same opportunity for continuation rate, the player can enjoy without discomfort game in the special game duration.

  In addition, one of the predetermined extension trigger and the predetermined continuation rate increase trigger may include a different trigger from the other.

According to this configuration, in one opportunity, since also increased persistency of in different other occasion the other opportunity to benefit prolonged continuation period is applied, to improve the interest of even more player be able to.

Further, among the plurality of sets sections, the length of the continuing period may be a different before being extended by the next set of duration extension means.

According to this configuration, since born is a change in the continuation period of the set period, it is possible to increase the player's interest.

  Further, among the plurality of set sections, there may be one in which the initial predetermined continuation rate before being increased by the continuation rate increasing means is different.

  According to this configuration, the degree of continuation expectation to the next set section is changed for each set section, so that the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  In addition, the role lottery means determines whether or not which role has been won by a lottery value generated based on the start of the game, the allowed state determination means, from the special game non-permitted state, the special game Whether or not to enter the allowable state may be determined based on the lottery value in the game, and the predetermined extension trigger and the predetermined continuation rate increase trigger may both be determined based on the lottery value.

A program (game machine program) for the slot machine 1 including a distribution table 673, an AT game number addition table 674, an AT continuation rate addition table 675, and the like are stored.

  The main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes a game machine program stored in the ROM 67 to perform processing relating to the progress of the game. The main CPU 61 stores data relating to the result of a lottery process in the role lottery process performed by the role lottery means 103, which will be described later, data relating to the operation of operating devices operated by the player, such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the start switch 19. Are transmitted to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) in a predetermined command format.

  The memory 75 of the sub-control board 73 includes a RAM unit that temporarily stores various data, and a ROM unit that stores various programs for effects. The sub CPU 71 of the sub control board 73 has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and the sub CPU 71 transmits various data regarding the slot machine 1 transmitted from the main CPU 61 (role lottery by the role lottery means 103 described later). The program stored in the memory 75 is executed based on the result of the lottery result in the processing, whether or not the operating devices such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the start switch 19, etc. are operated, and the game for the player is performed. Determine the content of the related production. Further, the sub CPU 71 of the sub control board 73 controls the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 27 and the speakers 31L and 31R via the I / O port of the sub control board 73 based on the determined effect. I do.

(Main control board)
Next, the main control board 63 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the main control board 63 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the ROM 67 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. .

(1) Game control means 100
The game control means 100 of FIG. 4 controls the game of the slot machine 1 in any one of a plurality of preset game states. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control means 100 performs the general game state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3)) in the general game state. A special game, which is a basic game, and a bonus game (special game state or bonus game) in a bonus game state based on a bonus combination that is more advantageous to the player than the general game state (special game state). ).

  Further, as a game advantageous to a player different from the bonus game which is a game in the bonus game state (BB1), the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 103 described later is determined by the operation procedure of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. When the result of the specific role elected to the specific role (eg, promotion replay, fall replay, push order bell, etc .: refer to FIG. 9) with different degrees of advantage given to the player is obtained, each advantageous position corresponding to the specific role is obtained. There is an AT game (special game) that informs the operating procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R so as to be specified. The game control means 100 performs the AT game when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is the specific role winning result in the game in the AT allowable state shown in FIG. 5 and during the AT period. Here, the function of executing the AT game by the game control means 100 corresponds to the “special game control means” of the present invention.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 100 includes an operation mode determination means 100a, a game state setting means 100b, an AT permission state setting means 100c, an initial right granting means 100d, an additional during period 100e, a continuous lottery means 100f. , AT game possible state determining means 100g.

(1-1) Operation mode determination means 100a
The operation mode determining means 100a determines an operation mode of the player on the slot machine 1. More specifically, the player operates various switches provided in the slot machine 1, such as the bet switches 15, 17, the start switch 19, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the player enters the medal slot 25. Various operation modes of the player on the slot machine 1, such as a mode of a medal insertion operation by the player, are determined.

(1-2) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b is configured to determine a plurality of game states set in advance based on the result of the role lottery process by the role lottery means 103, the result of the symbol combination determination on the activated line (middle line) by the symbol determination means 110, and the like. The game state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of them.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the game state includes an initial RT (RT0), a normal RT (RT1), an advantageous RT (RT2), a bonus internal winning (RT3), and a bonus game state. (BB1). Here, the general game is executed in the general game state including the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the bonus is performed in the bonus game state (BB1). The game is executed. Further, the initial RT (RT0) is a game state to which a transition is made at the time of setting change described later or after the end of the bonus game state (BB1).

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT (RT0), the push order bells (left middle right correct bells 1-4, right and left middle correct bells 1-4, middle left right correct bells 1-4, middle right left correct bells 1-4) When the right and left middle correct bells 1 to 4 and the right and middle right correct bells 1 to 4 are missed (see FIG. 9), the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to normal RT (RT1), and the gaming state is normally Move to RT (RT1). Also, in the normal RT (RT1), when one of the promotion replays 1 to 6 (see FIG. 9) wins with a U lip, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the advantageous RT (RT2), and the gaming state becomes Transition to advantageous RT (RT2).

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, some specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the roles are not won (lost) in the role lottery by the role lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1). Is set so as to win the replay (specific general combination) that is a replaying combination by the combination lottery by the combination lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2), and the advantageous RT (RT2) is usually set to RT (RT1). ) Is a gaming state in which the winning probability of a replay (replay) is set higher. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the push order bell is missed at the advantageous RT or when one of the fall replays 1 to 3 (see FIG. 9) is won by the D lip, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state The state is set to normal RT (RT1), and the gaming state shifts to normal RT (RT1).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in any of the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2) game states, the player wins a bonus role (red 7 big, BAR big: see FIG. 9). Then, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to bonus internal winning (RT3), and shifts the gaming state to bonus internal winning (RT3). When a bonus combination is won during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (BB1), and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). In the bonus game state (BB1), when a predetermined bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0), and the game state shifts to the initial RT (RT0). In this embodiment, the number of payouts is set to a specified value as a bonus game end condition (for example, 300 is set for a red 7 big prize, and 100 is set for a BAR big prize). .

  Thus, each game state is configured to shift to another game state when the shift condition set for each of the game states is satisfied. The above-mentioned "missing of the bell in the pushing order", "promotion replay winning", and "fall replay winning" regarding the transition condition will be described later.

(1-3) AT allowable state setting means 100c
As shown in FIG. 5, the AT allowable state setting means 100c is configured to perform either an AT non-permissible state in which an AT game is not permitted (a special game non-permissible state) or an AT permitted state in which an AT game is permitted (a special game allowable state). The state of the slot machine 1 is set to one of them.

a) Transition from AT non-permitted state to AT permitted state due to AT permitted winning, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 21, AT non-permitted state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2)) The AT permitted combination is associated with a part of the lottery value in the game in. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that the lottery value determination determination means 103b is set to the AT allowable state by the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a of the combination lottery means 103 based on the game start by operating the start switch 19. Then (AT allowed win), the AT allowed state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowed state.

  At this time, the AT allowable state setting means 100c illuminates the notification lamp 60c (see FIG. 34) of the notification display 60 to notify that the AT allowable state can be specified. By notifying the outside that the AT is in the AT allowable state, if an AT game is executed while the slot machine 1 is not in the AT allowable state, the slot machine 1 is in an abnormal state, and there is a possibility of failure or fraud. Can be determined immediately.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to shift from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), it is necessary to win the U lip in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6 in the normal RT (RT1). However, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), an advantageous stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R pressing order for winning in a U lip is set for each of the promotion replays 1 to 6. Therefore, it is usually difficult to win an advantageous U lip in the promotion replays 1 to 6 unless this advantageous pushing order is notified in the AT game.

  In addition, when the player wins the D lip in any of the fall replays 1 to 3 in the advantageous RT (RT2), the game shifts to the normal RT (RT1). However, as shown in FIG. An advantageous order of pressing the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R for winning the N lip without winning the D lip is set. Therefore, it is usually difficult to win an advantageous N lip in the fall replays 1 to 3 unless this advantageous pushing order is notified in the AT game.

  Therefore, it is difficult to stay at the advantageous RT (RT2) unless the AT game for notifying the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is performed. At the time of RT (RT1), an AT permission winning is won, and the AT permission state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permission state. Then, the initial right granting unit 100d or the period adding unit 100e described later sets a predetermined AT period game number (game number) as an AT game right (AT execution right) in the AT allowed state in the AT period game number counter 654 ( 4). With this setting, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is a specific combination winning result, an AT game is enabled in which an AT game that notifies an advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R can be performed. When the number of games of the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains, the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage means 651 (FIG. 4) indicates that the AT game is possible. It is set to ON by the state determining means 100g (AT gaming possible state).

  In addition, when the AT game is enabled in the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared from the non-AT state, and one of the promotion replays 1 to 6 is won in the normal RT (RT1) during the AT preparation. Then, an AT game for notifying the advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R for winning the U-lip shifting to the advantageous RT (RT2) is executed (see FIGS. 17 and 30 (a)). Then, if the player wins the U lip in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6, the process shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) in the AT game available state to which the AT execution right is given, that is, so-called ART.

  Further, after the AT game for shifting to the ART (RT2 + AT) is executed, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the AT period game number counter 654 every time the game is executed irrespective of the general game or the AT game. By subtracting 1 from the count value, the number of remaining games in the AT period game number (AT execution right) is counted. Further, in the game after setting the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state (turning on the notification lamp 60c), the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets an allowable period game number counter every time the game is executed regardless of the type of the game. By adding 1 to the count value of 653, the duration of the AT allowable state is counted. When setting the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the number of games (for example, 1500 games) preset as a limiter condition in the allowable period game number counter 653, Each time a game is executed in the permissible state, the duration of the AT permissible state may be counted by subtracting 1 from the count value of the permissible period game number counter 653.

  Further, the AT allowable state setting means 100c determines that the continuous lottery performed by the continuous lottery means 100f described later is not won (losing) or that the number of continuous games in the AT allowable state is 1500 games ("predetermined" in the present invention). If the limiter condition is satisfied during the period, the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permission state (end of the AT permission state). The AT permission state setting means 100c turns off the notification lamp 60c when setting the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permission state.

  The conditions for ending the AT-permitted state include the identification number for which the AT-permitted state has been won (see FIG. 10), the conditions after the AT-permitted state (the result of the lottery result after the AT-permitted state, , The number of medals obtained after the transition to the AT allowable state). Since the end condition of the AT allowable state can be changed in various ways, it is possible to further improve the playability.

(1-4) Initial right granting means 100d
In the game in which the lottery value determination deciding means 103b of the role lottery means 103 described later decides to put the slot machine 1 into the AT permissible state (AT permissible winning), the initial right granting means 100d performs the AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 The basic continuation rate of the AT period is determined based on (see FIGS. 4 and 23). As shown in FIG. 22, the AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 is individually set corresponding to each identification number for which the determination result of the lottery value determination determining means 103b described later is an AT allowable winning.

In this embodiment, the AT period (corresponding to the “special game continuation period” of the present invention) in which the right to play the AT game continues is basically one set of up to 100 games (the “set section” of the present invention). (Corresponding to 15 sets), and if this set wins the continuous lottery of the continuous lottery means 100f, the game has a continuation rate type game characteristic in which the set continues. Also, an initial game number is set for each set. In this embodiment, the first set has an initial game number of 100 games, and the second to fifteenth sets have an initial game number of 30 games. For example, in the case of winning “AT allowed + AT right + Cherry” (identification number 16), the initial right granting means 100d performs a sorting lottery using the AT basic continuation rate sorting table 673 shown in FIG. Determine the basic continuation rate. If the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines that the slot machine 1 is to be in the AT allowable state (AT allowable winning), the initial right granting means 100d counts the initial game number set in the first set. 100 is set in the AT period game number counter 654.

In this embodiment, when the player wins the identification number including the AT permitted combination (see FIG. 22), the system always transitions to the AT permitted state. However, for example, the AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 shown in FIG. Is granted an AT execution right with a basic continuation rate of 60% with a probability of 1/3 (transition to the AT permitted state), and an AT execution right with a basic continuation rate of 50% is granted with a probability of 1/3 (transition to the AT permitted state) ), Such as loss (without transition to the AT permitted state) with a probability of 1/3, there may be a case where even if an identification number including an AT permitted combination is won, the state does not transition to the AT permitted state. . In addition, the initial number of games in each set may be different for each set, such as 50 games for a specific set and 30 games for the remaining set. In this way, since born change between continuous phase of set, it is possible to increase the player's interest.

Note that the initial right granting unit 100d may determine the basic continuation rate of the AT period by performing the above-described distribution lottery using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the role lottery of the role lottery unit 103. Then, a new random number value (lottery value) for distribution may be newly generated, and the above-mentioned distribution may be performed using this. The AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 is used in an AT non-permissible state, and one AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 is provided for each identification number (lottery value of the role lottery). ing.

(1-5) Additional means 100e during the period
The addition means 100e during the period wins the identification number including the AT right combination (see FIG. 24) on condition that the AT permission state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permission state (during the AT period). In this case, the number of games to be added to the initial number of games (the number of additional games) is determined, or the continuation rate to be added to the basic continuation rate determined by the initial right granting means 100d (the additional continuation rate) is determined. It is. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 24, the lottery value in the game in the AT allowable state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus game state (BB1)) Are associated with AT rights. Here, if the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines to grant the right to perform the AT game based on the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a of the combination lottery means 103 based on the start of the game by operating the start switch 19 ( AT right winning), during the period, the adding means 100e performs the sorting lottery of the number of added games (the number of added games) using the AT game number adding table 674, or adds using the AT continuation rate adding table 675. A continuation rate distribution lottery (addition continuation rate lottery) is performed. In this embodiment, during the AT period, when the additional unit 100e wins the identification number including the AT right combination during the AT period (corresponding to a "predetermined extension opportunity" of the present invention), first, the AT game number additional table 674 is set. Is used to determine the number of games to be added to the next set of the set (set when the identification number including the AT right combination is won), and thereafter, the number of games given to the set using the AT continuation rate addition table 675 Is determined, an additional continuation rate used by the continuation lottery means 100f is determined. Here, the function of performing the additional game number lottery by the additional means 100e during the period corresponds to “ next set continuation period extending means” of the present invention, and the function of performing the additional continuation rate lottery is the “continuation rate increasing means” of the present invention. ".

  For example, when one set (corresponding to the “extended acquisition set section” of the present invention) wins the identification number 3 (“normal replay”), the additional means 100e during the period is set by the AT game number additional table 674 shown in FIG. Is used to determine the number of additional games for the duration of the next set (corresponding to the “extended acquisition next set section” of the present invention). In the AT game number addition table 674 for the identification number 3 (“normal replay”), five types of “10 games”, “20 games”, “30 games”, “50 games”, and “70 games” are each 1 It is set to be selected with a probability of / 5. It should be noted that other identification numbers including the AT right combination are also provided with the AT game number addition table 674 individually (see FIG. 24).

  When one set wins the identification number including the AT right combination and obtains an additional game number of 70 games, or when the identification number including the AT right combination wins multiple times and obtains the total number of additional games of 70 games The number of continuous games in the set following the one set reaches the upper limit of 100 games. In such a situation, if the player wins the identification number including the AT right combination again, during the period, the adding means 100e replaces the additional number of games with the number of games (initial game number + additional number) given to the one set. In some cases, the addition of the continuation rate (addition continuation rate) used in the continuous lottery performed when the additional game number is consumed is determined using the AT continuation rate addition table 675.

  For example, in one set, when the number of continuous games of the next set reaches the upper limit and the player wins the identification number 3 (“normal replay”), the AT continuation rate addition table 675 shown in FIG. 26 is used. To determine the continuation rate to add. In the AT continuation rate addition table 675 for the identification number 3 (“normal replay”), three types of “10%”, “20%”, and “30%” are each selected with a probability of そ れ ぞ れ. Is set. For example, when the basic continuation rate of 50% is selected by the initial right granting means 100d, and when 10% is added by the adding means 100e during the period, when the number of games given to the one set is consumed In the continuous lottery, the player will continue to the next set with a probability of 50% + 10% = 60%. The addition of the continuation rate is limited to the one set and is not carried over to the next set. An AT continuation rate addition table 675 is also provided for other identification numbers including the AT right combination (see FIG. 24).

  When the number of additional games exceeding the upper limit is obtained in the additional game number lottery in which the number of continuous games of the next set reaches the upper limit, the amount exceeding the upper limit is cleared. At this time, when the number of additional games exceeding the upper limit of the next set is determined by the additional game number lottery by the additional means 100e during the period, the player may not be notified of the number of additional games exceeding the upper limit. In this way, it is possible to reduce the player's dissatisfaction caused by clearing the portion of the number of added games exceeding the upper limit of the next set.

  The AT game number addition table 674 in FIG. 25 is configured so that the number of games is always added. However, there is a case where the game is sorted to a loss without the addition of the number of games, and the identification number including the AT right combination is won. Nevertheless, the number of additional games may not be acquired with a predetermined probability. Similarly, regarding the AT continuation rate addition table 675, it may be configured such that the addition continuation rate cannot be acquired with a predetermined probability, even though the identification number including the AT right combination has been won.

  Also, the AT game number addition table 674 and the AT continuation rate addition table 675 use a common table for each set value (a payout rate). It may be changed as appropriate in accordance with the lottery history, the number of games that have elapsed since the AT permission, the number of medals obtained after the AT permission, and the like.

  As described above, while the security is improved by uniquely determining whether or not to win the AT right based on the lottery value used for the role lottery, it is possible to freely determine how the additional means 100e performs the additional during the period. Since the game can be designed, the degree of freedom in designing the AT game can be increased.

  Further, during the period, the additional means 100e may perform the above-mentioned additional number of games, additional continuation rate lottery using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 103, or a random number value. (Lottery value) may be newly generated, and each lottery described above may be performed using this.

In addition, the function of performing the additional lottery by the number of games by the additional means 100e during the period corresponds to “ next set continuation period extension means” of the present invention, and the function of performing the additional continuation rate lottery by the additional means 100e during the period is the same as “ This corresponds to “continuation rate increasing means”.

(1-6) Continuous lottery means 100f
Continuously selecting means 100 (corresponding to "end determination means" of the present invention), for each set, when the inter-continuous phase that is given to the set is completed, or the upper limit of the set (in this embodiment, 100 game ) Is determined based on a predetermined continuation rate as to whether to continue to the next set or to end the AT period at the earlier timing of the determination. Here, the predetermined continuation rate is a reference continuation rate obtained by adding the additional continuation rate determined by the additional continuation rate lottery during the period to the basic continuation rate determined by the initial right granting means 100d. For example, if the reference continuation rate is 60% (see FIG. 23) and the additional continuation rate of the set is 30% (see FIG. 26), the reference continuation rate is 60% + 30% = 90%. Thus, when the set is judged, the next set is continued with a probability of 90%.

  In this embodiment, since the initial number of games in the first set is set to the upper limit of 100 games, the first continuous lottery is performed at the 100th game (the first set determination opportunity) after the start of the AT period. Be done. Subsequently, if the additional lottery is not performed in the first set, after 30 games thereafter (the 130th game from the start of the AT period: the second set determination opportunity), the continuous lottery of the second set is performed. In the third to fifteenth sets, the continuous lottery is similarly performed. When any of the first to fifteenth sets is judged and the continuous lottery is not won (loss), the condition for ending the AT allowable state is satisfied. In addition, if the continuation period of the AT allowable state exceeds 1000 games when this set is completed and the 15th set of the final set is completed, the AT allowable state end condition is satisfied. In this case, the continuous lottery means 100f does not perform the continuous lottery at the end of the fifteenth set.

  In this embodiment, the last set is continued up to the fifteenth set, and when this set is completed, if the duration of the AT allowable state is less than 1,000 games, a maximum of one set of 100 games and a maximum of five sets are added. Stages are available. In this case, the continuous lottery unit 100f performs the continuous lottery at the timing of the fifteenth set of determination. If the continuous lottery is won, the first stage of the additional stage (substantially the 16th set) is continued, and in the case of non-winning, the termination condition of the AT allowable state is satisfied. Also in the additional stage, an additional lottery and an additional continuation rate lottery are performed during the period by the additional means 100e. Further, in the case where the continuous lottery at the time of the determination of the set in the middle of the additional stage is not won, the termination condition of the AT allowable state is satisfied at that time. If the last stage of the additional stage is continued up to the fifth set, and if the last period of the AT allowable state is less than 1500 games at the end of the final set, an additional 50 game AT period is added. Granted. In this case, when the additional 50 games have been consumed, the condition for ending the AT allowable state is satisfied. When any of the conditions for terminating the AT allowable state is satisfied, the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state and sets the AT-related data (basic continuation rate, initial number of games, additional game). Reset the number of games, additional continuation rate, etc.).

  If the upper limit of 100 games continues in all of the first to fifteenth sets, the duration of the AT allowable state is 100 games × 15 = 1500 games. In this case, an end condition (limiter condition) by the limiter is satisfied. In this case as well, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the non-AT allowable state and resets data related to the AT (basic continuation rate, initial game number, additional game number, additional continuation rate, etc.).

  When the duration of the AT allowable state reaches 1500 games while the additional 50 games are being consumed, the limiter condition is satisfied in that game. In this case, the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state and resets the count value of the AT period game number counter 654. Here, the function of the initial right granting means 100d to determine the reference continuation rate, the function of the additional means 100e during the period to perform the additional continuation rate lottery and the number of additional games, and the function of the continuous lottery means 100f to perform the continuous lottery to the next set The function of determining whether or not to continue determines the length of the AT period, and a combination of these functions corresponds to “right duration determining means” of the present invention.

  If the last stage of the additional stage is continued up to the final set (fifth set) and the final set is completed and the duration of the AT allowable state is less than 1500 games, the additional 50 games are added. Instead, one set is a maximum of 50 games, and a re-addition stage for performing a continuous lottery at the end of the set is provided, so that the number of games can be added as in the first to fifteenth sets and the additional stage. May be. In this case, the duration of the AT allowable state may reach the 1500 game (limiter) in the middle of the setting of the re-addition stage, and in this case also, the end condition by the limiter is satisfied in that game. At this time, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state and resets data related to the AT (basic continuation rate, initial game number, additional game number, additional continuation rate, and the like).

  In this embodiment, a maximum of 5 additional stages of a maximum of 100 games per set are configured to start immediately after the end of the fifteenth game. (For example, up to 32 games), and the additional stage may be started after this period. In this case, the addition of the count value of the permissible period game number counter 653 indicating the continuation period of the AT permissible state also continues in the precursor period. According to this configuration, during the fifth set (final set) of the additional stage, the duration of the AT allowable period may reach the limiter (1500 games) (the end condition by the limiter is satisfied). In this case as well, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the non-AT allowable state when the limiter is reached, and sets AT-related data (basic continuation rate, initial game number, additional game number, additional continuation rate, etc.). ) To reset.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 in FIG. 4 sets one set value from a plurality of set values (setting 1 to setting 6) having different payout rates. This set value is used to select a role lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102 described later, and one of the set values corresponds to each of the plurality of role lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch (not shown) when the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on while the change processing start switch is ON, the predetermined setting change processing is performed. Start.

  Here, the winning probability in the lottery in the general game is set in a plurality of stages distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types). The table 671 (general game lottery table) is associated with the table. Then, when the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change the set value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection unit 102 in FIG. 4 includes a game type (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1, etc.) controlled by the game control unit 100 on the main control board 63, and a set value (setting) set by the setting control unit 101. Based on 1 to 6), one lottery table is selected from a plurality of role lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in a general game, the table selecting means 102 selects the role lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as the role lottery table according to the set value (setting 1 to setting 6) of the winning probability.

(4) Role lottery means 103
At the timing when the start switch 19 is operated and the game is started, the role lottery means 103 in FIG. 4 performs a plurality of general roles (small roles, re-game roles) including a specific role, and a plurality of roles (a bonus role) including a bonus role. (See FIG. 10). A combination lottery is performed in which a combination is determined based on a lottery value generated based on the start of the game. In the AT non-permissible state, if the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), and the advantageous RT (RT2) (see FIG. 10), the lottery means 103 determines the lottery value used for the role lottery. Using the same lottery value, it is determined whether or not the AT permitted combination to be set in the AT permitted state is won (AT permitted winning). In addition, in the case of the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus game state (BB1) in the AT allowable state, the lottery means 103 selects the lottery value used for the role lottery. Using the same lottery value as above, it is determined whether or not the AT right combination has been won (AT right winning) (see FIG. 10). The role lottery means 103 includes a lottery value generation means 103a and a lottery value determination determination means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generation means 103a
The lottery value generation means 103a has a random number generation means constituted by an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit counting the clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal). By extracting the generated random numbers for the lottery at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated, the lottery values for the combination lottery, the determination of the AT allowable winning, and the determination of the AT right winning are generated. Since the random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a can be treated substantially as a random number. The lottery value generation means 103a may generate a lottery value using random numbers generated by a random number generator, or may generate a lottery value using software random numbers. Further, the lottery value generation unit 103a may generate a lottery value by performing a predetermined operation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which of a plurality of roles including the AT permitted role and the AT right role has been won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a. I do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the lottery table 671 stores, for each lottery value within the range generated by the random number generation means, a plurality of roles shown in FIG. (A role, a middle role of the BB1, a replaying role, a bonus role), a correspondence between a lottery value and a role for determining which of the roles to win or a loss is preset. The lottery value determination determination means 103b refers to the combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102, and determines which combination the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a is set to, or sets a loss. By determining whether the winning combination has been performed, it is determined whether any of a plurality of roles including the AT permitted role and the AT right role has been won.

  In other words, for the entire range of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, the range of values determined to shift to the AT allowable state (AT allowable win) and the determination not to shift to the AT allowable state (AT allowable non-win) are determined. The value range is previously set in the role lottery table 671, and the lottery value determination determination unit 103b sets the lottery value generated for the role lottery by the lottery value generation unit 103a based on the start of the game to the AT allowable state. Also used to determine whether to migrate. In addition, for the entire range of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, a range of values for the AT right winning (additional game number lottery, an additional continuation rate lottery) and a range of the values for the non-AT right winning are played. The lottery value determination determining means 103b is set in advance in the lottery table 671, and the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a based on the start of the game for the role lottery is added in the AT allowable state to add the number of games or add. It is also used to determine whether or not to conduct a continuation rate lottery.

  In addition, in the combination lottery table 671, some of the lottery values are set so as to overlap with the winning of a plurality of combinations, so that the lottery value determination determination unit 103b sets all of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a. When the determination is made on the range, that is, as a result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 103, a winning role group shown in FIG. 10 is formed, and each winning role group is assigned a unique identification number. In addition, among the identification numbers (winning role groups) shown in FIG. 10, with respect to the winning role group having the identification number composed of a plurality of roles, the symbol combination relating to all the roles constituting the winning role group having the identification number is used. Are allowed to be aligned with the winning line. It should be noted that the identification numbers 33 to 56 in FIG. 10 correspond to the pressing order bells with the lower role numbers “11h” to “28h” shown in FIG. 9, respectively, but are not shown.

  If the identification number (winning combination group) that has been won in the AT non-permissible state includes the AT permitted combination, an AT permitted combination is won, and the slot machine 1 is set to the AT permitted state by the AT permitted state setting means 100c. The initial lottery unit 100d performs a distribution lottery using the AT basic continuation rate distribution table 673 (see FIGS. 4 and 22) corresponding to the winning identification number. If the identification number (winning group) that has been won in the AT permitted state includes the AT right combination, the AT right is won, and the AT game number addition table 674 or the AT continuation rate addition corresponding to the winning identification number is added. The additional game number lottery or the additional continuation rate lottery using the table 675 (see FIG. 24) is performed by the additional means 100e during the period.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, some specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the roles are not won (lost) in the role lottery by the role lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1). Means that a winning lottery by the winning lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2) wins a replay (specific general role) which is a replaying game. With respect to the lottery values excluding the specific lottery value, the normal RT (RT1) and the advantageous RT The role lottery table 671 is set in the role lottery means 103 in (RT2) so that the result of the role lottery is the same. Also, as shown in FIG. 21, the specific lottery value does not include the lottery value to win the AT permitted combination determined to be in the AT permitted state.

  With this configuration, since the lottery value as the AT allowable winning is not included in the lottery value that changes whether or not the general role is won depending on the gaming state, the winning probability of the general role according to the change in the gaming state is determined. Irrespective of the change of the height of the game, the player can be given a uniform expectation of the AT allowable winning.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, in each game state (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1), a lottery value in a predetermined range is previously associated with the identification number of each winning combination group. The same data (lottery value) is associated with the identification number including the winning of at least one of the AT permitted combination and the AT right combination, regardless of the set value. That is, the lottery value determined by the lottery value determination deciding means 103b as the AT allowable win in the game in the AT game non-permissible state is the same regardless of the type of the set value, and the lottery value in the game in the AT game permissible state. The lottery value determined to be the AT right by the determination determining means 103b is the same regardless of the type of the set value.

  With this configuration, the expected value of the AT allowable winning and the expected value of the AT right winning do not change according to the setting value set by the setting control means 101. Since it is possible to always have a uniform feeling of expectation, it is possible to improve the interest of the player. Note that the function of determining whether or not the lottery value determination determination means 103b has won the AT permitted combination in the AT non-permitted state corresponds to the "permitted state determination means" of the present invention.

  In addition, in the examples illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 15, the identification numbers (for example, the pressing order bells: the identification numbers 33 to 56) in which different lottery value ranges are set for the respective set values also do not depend on the type of the set values. May be set to the same lottery value range.

  Next, the names of the winning combination groups having the respective identification numbers in FIG. 10 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the role names are "AT allowed", "AT right", "red 7 big", "BAR big", "normal replay", "promotion replay 1" to "promotion replay 6", "fall". "Replay 1"-"Fall Replay 3", "BAR Aligned Replay", "Fake Replay", "Cherry", "Watermelon A", "Watermelon B", "Pushing Order Bell", "Left Middle Right Correct Bell 1" -"Left center right correct bell 4", "Left right correct bell 1"-"Left right correct bell 4", "Middle left right correct bell 1"-"Middle left right correct bell 4", "Middle right left correct bell 1"- "Center right right bell 4", "Right center right bell 1"-"Right center right bell 4", "Right center right bell 1"-"Right center left bell 4", plural "BB1 middle part" Kinds of roles are set. Each of these roles excluding “AT allowed” and “AT right” is composed of one or a plurality of types of symbol combination groups.

  Here, when a winning combination group (identification number) including a combination composed of a plurality of symbol combination groups is won (see FIG. 10), all of the symbol combination groups constituting the combination are aligned with a winning line. It is in a state where it is permissible to do so. Specifically, for example, when the player wins the “promotion replay 6” shown in FIG. 9, any of the symbol combinations of the symbol combination groups “N lip”, “U lip”, “SP1”, and “SP2” are aligned with the winning line. Is a state in which it is permissible.

  As shown in FIG. 9, “Red 7 Big” and “BAR Big” are bonus combinations, and “Normal Replay” is a re-game combination irrelevant to the transition of the game state. In addition, “promotion replay 1” to “promotion replay 6” are replaying roles provided as specific roles to which a privilege that the gaming state is promoted (RT1 → RT2) according to the pressing order is given. In addition, “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” are provided as specific roles to which a privilege that the game state is maintained without falling (RT2 → RT1) (RT2 → RT2) according to the pressing order is given. It is a replayed role.

  The “BAR aligned replay” is a replaying game that is subject to a lottery only during the bonus game (BB1). In the game that has been won as the winning game, a pattern is obtained by pushing all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. It is configured so that "BAR" is aligned. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed at the time of the first stop of the left reel 13L, the symbol "CH (cherry)" stops at the middle stage. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped at the upper stage, and when the symbol "BAR" is aimed at at the time of the second and third stops, the symbol "BAR" is arranged in a straight line (obliquely downward). In other cases, such as when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is not pushed at the first stop, the symbol combination group "N lip" is aligned with the winning line. In this embodiment, when the player wins the “BAR Aligned Replay” (identification number 13) during the bonus game when the player wins the identification number including the AT allowable combination and the bonus combination (BB1), the second to fifteenth items are selected. The privilege that the initial game number of the set is uniformly added to 10 games is provided.

  In addition, the “fake play” is a replaying game that is a target of a lottery only in the bonus game state (BB1). When the symbol “BAR” is pressed in the game that has won the winning combination, the symbol “BAR” is displayed. It is configured so that it does not finish at the final stop. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed at the time of the first stop of the left reel 13L, the symbol "CH (cherry)" stops at the middle stage. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped at the upper stage, and if the symbol "BAR" is aimed at at the time of the second stop, the symbol "BAR" becomes inclined downward. Next, even if the symbol "BAR" is pushed by the third stop, the symbols are not aligned. When the symbol "CH (cherry)" is not pushed by the first stop, any one of the combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12" constituting the symbol combination group "N lip" is aligned with the winning line. ing. Further, when the button is pressed in the reverse direction (right → middle → left), one of the symbol combination groups “SRP1” to “SRP4” is arranged on the winning line.

  “Cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B” are all small roles related to payout of medals (game value). Reel 13L, 13M, 13R that does not have a symbol constituting a winning combination within 5 frames (frame of operation timing + 4 frames of maximum sliding) are included in the symbol combination group constituting these small winning combinations. Therefore, if the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R do not match, a dropout (non-winning) occurs.

  “Bell in any order of pressing” is a small role in which the symbols of the symbol combination group “C bell” are aligned on the winning line regardless of the pressing order. Note that if the winning combination is won during the ART in the AT allowable state shown in FIG. 5, an effect of notifying the player of the pressing order may be executed.

  Further, each of “Left middle right correct bell 1” to “Left middle right correct bell 4” has a specific role in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order (push order) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. It is a small role as. When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is operated by the stop reels 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the left reel 13L, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the right reel 13R, the symbol combination group is obtained. A payout of "9" is awarded along with the symbols related to "T-bell" on the pay line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, “right and left middle correct bell 1” to “right and left middle correct bell 4” are all small role as special roles in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. is there. When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is operated by the stop reels 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the left reel 13L, the second stop is the right reel 13R, and the third stop is the middle reel 13M, the symbol combination group is operated. A payout of "9" is awarded along with the symbols related to the "CD bell" on the pay line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, each of "middle left / right correct bell 1" to "middle left / right correct bell 4" is a small combination as a specific combination in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is operated by the middle reel 13M, the second stop is operated by the left reel 13L, and the third stop is operated by the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the right reel 13R, the symbol combination group is obtained. A payout of "9" is awarded with the symbols related to "C-bell" aligned with the winning line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, each of the "middle right left correct answer bell 1" to "middle right left correct answer bell 4" is a small combination as a specific combination in which the player's advantage (payout) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is operated by the middle reel 13M, the second stop is operated by the right reel 13R, and the third stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the left reel 13L. A payout of "9" is awarded with the symbols related to "CU Bell" aligned with the winning line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, each of “Right-Left Middle Correct Bell 1” to “Right-Left Middle Correct Bell 4” is a small role as a specific role in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is operated by the right reel 13R, the second stop is operated by the left reel 13L, and the third stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the middle reel 13M. A payout of "9" is awarded along with the symbols related to "KY BELL" on the pay line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, “right center left correct answer bell 1” to “right center left correct answer bell 4” are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. It is. When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is operated by the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R in the pressing order of the right reel 13R, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol combination group is operated. A payout of "9" is awarded along with the symbols related to "KY Bell" on the pay line. If the operation is performed in any other pressing order, the symbols related to the symbol combination group with the payout of “1” are aligned with the winning line, or the symbols are missed.

  The “BB1 middle combination” is a winning combination that is subject to a lottery only during the bonus game (BB1). When this winning combination is won, a payout of "9" is awarded regardless of the pressing order, with the symbols related to the symbol combination group "C-bell" aligned with the pay line.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is, for example, the identification number 18 “Red 7 Big + Cherry”, the combination of both “Cherry” and “Red 7 Big” is performed. This is a state in which the symbol combinations are allowed to be aligned with the winning line, and the symbols related to the symbol combinations “RBB1” (see FIG. 6) and “BCH” (see FIG. 8) may be aligned with the winning line. As other identification numbers including the bonus combination (role lottery result), “BAR big + cherry” (identification number 21), “AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A” (identification number 26), “BAR big + "Watermelon A" (identification number 27), "AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B" (identification number 30), "AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 19), "AT right + "Red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 20) and "AT permission + AT right + BAR big + cherry" (identification number 22). Therefore, when the symbol combinations of the winning combinations “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” are aligned on the winning line, the degree of expectation of winning the bonus role increases.

  During the bonus internal winning (RT3), the winning status of the bonus role has been carried over, so the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is “Red 7 Big + Cherry” (identification number 18), “ "BAR big + cherry" (identification number 21), "AT permission + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 19), "AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 20), "AT permission + AT right" + BAR Big + Cherry ”(identification number 22), a new type of bonus role will not be won, and the winning combination“ Cherry ”will be used as a permissible symbol combination other than the carried over bonus role. It is permissible that only the symbol combination according to "" is aligned with the winning line. The result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers “AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A”, “BAR big + watermelon A”, “AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B” In the case of, a new type of bonus role will not be won, and only symbol combinations related to the role name "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" will be allowed as a symbol combination other than the carried bonus role. Alignment with the winning line is allowed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, during the bonus game state (BB1), it is configured not to win the AT permitted combination. In the case where the lottery value is the AT allowable winning, the control may be performed so that the AT allowable winning is invalidated during BB1. Further, in this embodiment, it is configured not to win the AT allowable role and / or the AT right role alone, but it may be configured to win the AT allowable role and / or the AT right role alone. .

(5) Determination result storage means 104
The determination result storage unit 104 of FIG. 4 stores information capable of specifying whether or not a bonus combination has been won in the first data area of the determination result storage area 652 as a determination result by the lottery value determination determination unit 103b, Information that can specify whether or not the general role has been won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652, and the information that can specify whether or not it is in the AT allowable state (AT allowable win) is determined. The information is stored in the third data area of the storage area 652, and information capable of specifying whether or not the AT right has been won is stored in the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a unique hexadecimal highest-ranking role number 1 is assigned to the AT allowable role, a hexadecimal highest-ranking role number 2 unique to the AT right role is assigned, and each bonus is assigned. A unique hexadecimal upper-role number is assigned to each of the roles, and a unique hexadecimal lower-role number is assigned to each of the general roles (replay, small, and BB1). Then, the determination result storage unit 104 stores the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of a loss) constituting the identification number (winning combination group), which is the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103, in the determination result storage area. 652 is stored in the corresponding data area.

  That is, if the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning role group) including the AT permitted role shown in FIG. The assigned highest rank number 1 “01h” is stored in the one-byte third data area of the determination result storage area 652. In the case where the AT permitted combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage unit 104 stores the highest-order combination number 1 “00h” assigned to the lost in the data area. After storing “01h” as the highest role number 1, by maintaining this value, even if a new AT allowable role has been won, it is ignored, and if the end condition or limiter condition is satisfied, the highest role number is obtained. After "00h" is stored as 1, AT-allowed winning is enabled.

  If the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning role group) including the AT right role shown in FIG. 10, the highest-level role number 2 “01h” is set in the determination result storage area. 652 is stored in the 1-byte fourth data area. Note that the determination result storage unit 104 stores, in the case of a loss (non-winning) in the AT right combination, the highest-rank combination number 2 “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area. Here, with respect to each of the AT permitted winning and the AT right winning, it can be determined whether or not the winning is achieved by turning on and off a flag composed of 1 bit. Therefore, unlike the bonus role and the general role, in order to reduce the storage capacity in the role lottery, each of the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning does not use any storage capacity for each of the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning. In response to the above, a 1-bit flag capable of storing ON and OFF is provided, and by setting ON and OFF of the flag provided corresponding to each, the state of each of the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning is achieved. May be determined (stored).

  If the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning role group) including the bonus role shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 is assigned to the winning bonus role. Either of the upper role numbers “01h” and “02h” is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the determination result storage area 652. In the case where the winning combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage unit 104 stores the upper-rank combination number “00h” assigned to the lost in the data area. Also, after storing “01h” or “02h” as the upper-rank combination number, the bonus combination is carried over by maintaining this value until the bonus combination is won.

  If the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning role group) including the general role (replaying role, small role, middle role of BB1) shown in FIG. The storage unit 104 stores any one of the lower role numbers “01h” to “29h” assigned to the winning general role in the one-byte second data area of the determination result storage area 652. In the case where the general role is a loss (non-winning), the determination result storage means 104 stores the lower role number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area.

  With this configuration, the bonus winning, the general winning, the AT allowable winning, and the AT right winning are stored and managed in parallel. Each winning can be managed collectively. Further, by storing and managing the data in this manner, the determination can be made by referring to only the data type required in one control, so that the processing can be performed efficiently.

  Note that a storage area for an AT-permitted state for storing an AT-permitted state may be further provided. In this case, in the case of the AT allowable winning, the highest role number 1 "01h" is temporarily stored in the determination result storage area 652, and the data stored in the separately provided AT allowable state storage area is confirmed. If "00h" is stored in the storage area for the AT allowable state, "01h" may be stored in the storage area for the AT allowable state. After storing “01h” in the AT allowable state storage area, this value may be maintained until the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of general roles are configured not to be simultaneously elected. However, if a plurality of general roles are configured to be simultaneously elected, a plurality of elected general roles are selected. The storage capacity of the second data area of the determination result storage area 652 may be set so that all of the lower role numbers assigned to them can be stored. Further, a lower role number is newly assigned to each combination of general winning combinations that are simultaneously won, and the lower role number allocated to the combination of general winning combinations that are simultaneously won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652. You may.

  When the slot lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is confirmed, if the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permission state, the determination result storage area in which the highest-order role number 1 of the AT permissible role is stored. The third data area 652 is referred to, but the fourth data area of the decision result storage area 652 in which the highest-ranking role number 2 of the AT right role is stored is not referred to. Is set, the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the highest role number 2 of the AT right role is stored is referred to, but the highest role number 1 of the AT allowable role is stored. The third data area of the determined result storage area 652 is configured not to be referred to.

(5) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 shown in FIG. 4 uses the stop table 672 to control each of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R based on the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R by the player and the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 103. Stop control is performed. In order to win the role name belonging to the identification number determined by the role lottery means 103, the stop control means 105 basically changes the configuration of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R within a drawable range within a payout line (middle row). ) To perform stop control. The allowable number of slip frames (retractable range: usually, a maximum of 4 frames) is set for each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. May not be aligned, and in such a case, a miss (non-prize) occurs.

  “Normal replay” is such that the symbols constituting the winning combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” are located at positions where the symbols can be pulled in regardless of the timing of operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. The stop control means 105 performs the reel control so that any one of the combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12" is always aligned with the winning line.

  “Promotion replay 1” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “N lip” and “U lip”. In this embodiment, when an identification number including the combination is won, the priorities of the symbol combination groups that are preferentially arranged in accordance with the pressing order are set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "U lip" when the identification order including the combination is won, in the case of the pressing order of "left → middle → right", and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Since the symbol combination group “U lip” is related to the transition to the advantageous RT (RT2), in the “promotion replay 1”, the pushing order of “left → middle → right” is an advantageous pushing order for the player. It becomes.

  "Promotion replay 2" is composed of three types of symbol combination groups "N lip", "U lip", and "SP lip 1". Also in the case where an identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U lip” when the identification order including the combination is won, in the case of the pressing order of “left → right → middle”, and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP lip 1” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the combination, but is not actually aligned. In the “promotion replay 2”, the pressing order of “left → right → middle” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  “Promotion replay 3” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “U lip”, and “SP lip 2”. Also in the case where an identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U lip” in the case of the “middle → left → right” pressing order when the identification number including the combination is won, and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 2” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the combination, but is not actually aligned. In the “promotion replay 3”, the pressing order of “middle → left → right” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  "Promotion replay 4" is composed of three types of symbol combination groups "N lip", "U lip", and "SP lip 3". Also in the case where an identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "U lip" when the order of pressing "middle → right → left" at the time of winning the identification number including the combination, and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 3” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the combination, but is not actually aligned. In the “promotion replay 4”, the pressing order of “middle → right → left” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  “Promotion replay 5” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “U lip”, and “SP lip 4”. Also in the case where an identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U lip” when the identification order including the combination is won in the order of “right → left → middle”, and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 4” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the role, but is a symbol combination group that is not actually aligned. In the “promotion replay 5”, the pressing order of “right → left → middle” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  The “promotion replay 6” includes four types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “U lip”, “SP lip 1”, and “SP lip 2”. Also in the case where an identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U lip” when the identification order including the combination is won in the case of “right → middle → left”, and in other cases Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" (see FIG. 27A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination groups “SP Lip 1” and “SP Lip 2” are symbol combination groups that constitute the combination, but are not actually aligned. In the “promotion replay 6”, the pressing order of “right → middle → left” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  “Fall replay 1” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “N lip” and “D lip”. When the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” when the left reel 13L is in the first stop at the time of winning the identification number including the combination, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed with priority given to the group "D lip" (see FIG. 28A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Since the symbol combination group “D lip” involves transition from the advantageous RT (RT2) to the normal RT (RT1), in “falling replay 1”, the pressing order of the left reel 13L for the first stop is a game. It becomes a pushing order advantageous to the person.

  "Fall replay 2" is composed of three types of symbol combination groups "N lip", "D lip", and "SP lip 1". Also in the case where the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "N lip" when the middle reel 13M is in the first stop at the time of winning the identification number including the combination, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed with priority given to the group "D lip" (see FIG. 28A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP lip 1” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the combination, but is not actually aligned. In the case of “falling down replay 2”, the pushing order (“N rip”) of the first stop of the middle reel 13M is an advantageous pushing order for the player.

  “Fall replay 3” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “D lip”, and “SP lip 2”. Also in the case where the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” when the right reel 13M is in the first stop at the time of winning the identification number including the combination, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed with priority given to the group "D lip" (see FIG. 28A). Since both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups without missing, the priority symbol combination groups are always arranged (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 2” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the combination, but is not actually aligned. In “falling replay 3”, the pushing order of the right reel 13R for the first stop (“N rip”) is an advantageous pushing order for the player.

  The “BAR aligned replay” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “CH lip” and “N lip”. If the first stop is the left reel 13L, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "CH lip" if the first stop is the left reel 13L, and otherwise, the symbol combination group "N lip". , And stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed (see FIG. 29A). For example, when the symbol “CH (cherry)” is operated at a timing at which the symbol “CH (cherry)” can be drawn into the left reel 13L, the symbol “CH (cherry)” stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is located in the upper row. When the symbol "BAR" is pressed at both the second and third stops, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbol "BAR" is aligned in a straight line. If the first stop is the left reel 13L, but the operation timing is such that the symbol “CH (cherry)” cannot be pulled in, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” and the reels 13L and 13M. , 13R.

  “Fake play” is composed of six types of symbol combination groups “CH lip”, “N lip”, and “SP lip 1” to “SP lip 4”. The stop control means 105 controls stop of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "CH Rip" when the first stop is the left reel 13L when the identification number including the combination is won. (See FIG. 29A). For example, when the symbol “CH (cherry)” is operated at a timing at which the symbol “CH (cherry)” can be drawn into the left reel 13L, the symbol “CH (cherry)” stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is located in the upper row. When the symbol "BAR" of the middle reel 13M is pressed by the second stop, the stop control means 105 performs the stop control of the middle reel 13M so that the symbol "BAR" becomes full. When the symbol "BAR" on the right reel 13R is pressed by the final stop, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbols "BAR" are not aligned. In the case of a reverse push (right → middle → left), the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R such that any of the symbol combination groups “SP Lip 1” to “SP Lip 4” is aligned. . If the first stop is the middle reel 13M or the first stop is the left reel 13L, but the operation timing is such that the symbol “CH (cherry)” cannot be pulled in, the stop control unit 105 sets the symbol combination group “N Is stopped, and the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped.

  “Cherry” is composed of a symbol combination group “B cherry”. When the identification number including the winning combination is won, the stop control means 105 sets the winning symbol in the symbol combination group “B Cherry” with the winning symbols on all of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R within the drawable range. Stop control for stopping at (middle) is performed. For example, when the stop switch 21L is operated at an operation timing at which the symbol "BAR" can be pulled in the left reel 13L, the stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that the symbol "BAR" stops at the middle stage. In both the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, the symbol "CH" for winning is arranged at a position where the stop can be stopped (pulled in) in the middle stage regardless of the timing when the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of the middle reel 13M or the right reel 13R such that the symbol "CH" stops at the middle stage. When the stop switch 21L is not operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "BAR" can be pulled in with the left reel 13L, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of each of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so as to cause a loss. .

  "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) red 7 big + cherry" is composed of the symbol combination group "B cherry" and "big 1". The stop control unit 105 performs the reel control giving priority to the small combination when the identification number including the combination is won.

  “(AT allowed + AT right +) BAR big + cherry” is composed of a symbol combination group “B cherry” and “big 2”. The stop control unit 105 performs the reel control giving priority to the small combination when the identification number including the combination is won.

  “Watermelon A” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD watermelon”. The stop control means 105 stops the symbol "WM" at the middle stage when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" is pulled in the middle reel 13M when the identification number including the combination is won. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Regarding the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, the symbols "BE1" or "BE2" related to the winning are arranged at the positions where the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated at any time and can be stopped (pullable) at the middle stage. Therefore, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the left reel 13L or the right reel 13R such that the symbol "BE1" or "BE2" is stopped at the middle stage, respectively. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of each of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that a loss occurs when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. Do.

  “AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and “big 1”. The stop control unit 105 performs the reel control giving priority to the small combination when the identification number including the combination is won.

  "BAR big + watermelon A" is composed of a symbol combination group "CD watermelon" and "big 2". The stop control unit 105 performs the reel control giving priority to the small combination when the identification number including the combination is won.

  “Watermelon B” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and a symbol combination group “C watermelon”. The stop control means 105 stops the symbol "WM" at the middle stage when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" is pulled in the middle reel 13M when the identification number including the combination is won. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Regarding the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, a symbol (CD watermelon: "BE1" or "BE1") is placed at a position where the stop switch 21M, 21R can be stopped (pullable) at the middle stage, regardless of the timing. BE2 ", C watermelon:" WM "), the stop control means 105 causes the left reel 13L or the left reel 13L to stop any one of the symbols" BE1 "," BE2 ", and" WM "at the middle stage. The stop control of the right reel 13R is performed. In this embodiment, the symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and the symbol combination group “C watermelon” are configured so that one of the symbols wins preferentially according to the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of each of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that a loss occurs when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. Do.

  “AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD watermelon”, “C watermelon” and “big 1”. The stop control unit 105 performs the reel control giving priority to the small combination when the identification number including the combination is won.

  Note that “Watermelon A” is set as a simultaneous winning role for both “Red 7 Big” and “BAR Big” as bonuses, but “Watermelon B” is simultaneously played with “Red 7 Big” only. It is set as a winning role. Therefore, when the symbol combination of the symbol combination group “C watermelon” that appears only when “watermelon B” is won is aligned with the winning line, the expectation of winning “red 7 big” is increased.

  When the “push-order bell” is won, the stop control unit 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the symbol combination group “C-bell” is aligned with the pay line regardless of the push order. . Regardless of the operation timing, the symbol combination group always wins because constituent symbols are arranged on the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so as to be drawn into the winning line.

  "Left center right correct bell 1"-"Left center right correct bell 4", "Left right correct bell 1"-"Left right correct bell 4", "Middle left right correct bell 1"-"Middle left right bell 4", "Middle right left correct bell 1"-"Middle right left correct bell 4", "Right left middle correct bell 1"-"Right left middle correct bell 4", "Right middle left correct bell 1"-"Right middle left correct bell 4" , Each is configured such that the symbol combination groups to be preferentially won according to the pressing order are different.

  For example, when "Left-Center-Right Correct Answer Bell 1" is won, the stop control unit 105 determines that the symbol combination group with the highest payout is in the case of the left-to-middle-right push sequence (the push sequence is correct). The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed so that "T-bell" wins preferentially (see FIG. 30A). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group without missing (non-winning), it always wins.

  If the first stop is the left reel 13L and the second stop is the right reel 13R, that is, if the second stop is incorrect, the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "left correct answer AT" to the reel 13L. , 13M, and 13R (see FIG. 30A). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group without missing, a winning is always made.

  When the first stop is the middle reel 13M (when the first stop is incorrect), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” and performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. (See FIG. 30A). Specifically, since the symbol related to the winning of the middle reel 13M in the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is “BE1”, the stop control unit 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Then, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol is not missed, it always stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol related to the winning of the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is “BAR” or “BE1”. If the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the left reels 13L can be pulled in, the stop control unit 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of other timings, the game is missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop (see FIG. 30A). When both symbols can be drawn in, it is preferable to perform stop control with priority given to one of them. Further, at the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is operated at the second stop (left reel 13L) at a timing at which a winning symbol can be drawn, the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group "A1 incorrect answer AT" is won. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols "Red 7" and "BL" can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 causes the right reel 13R to stop at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Control of the stop. If the timing is other than the above, the winning symbol is missed (non-winning) even though the winning symbol is stopped at the first and second stop reels (see FIG. 30A). Similar stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the right reel 13R.

  When the first stop is the right reel 13R (in the case of an incorrect answer at the first stop), the stop control unit 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” to stop the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Control is performed (see FIG. 30A). Specifically, since the symbol related to the winning of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” is “CH”, the stop control unit 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Then, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. The symbol always stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13M because the symbol is not missed. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol related to the winning of the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” is “BAR” or “BE1”. If the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the left reels 13L can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of other timings, the game is missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop. When both symbols can be drawn in, it is preferable to perform stop control with priority given to one of them. Further, in the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is operated at the second stop (left reel 13L) at a timing at which a winning symbol can be drawn in, the winning of the reel 13M in the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is performed. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols "BAR" and "RP1" can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 controls the right reel 13R so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Perform stop control. In the case of other timings, the winning symbols are not received (non-winning) even though the winning symbols are stopped on the first and second stop reels. When the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M, the same stop control is performed. In the case of the "left center right correct answer bell 1", the pushing order (left → middle → right) in which the symbol combination group “T bell” having the highest payout is aligned with the winning line is an advantageous pushing order for the player.

  "Left center right correct bell 2" to "left center right correct bell 4" and "right and left middle correct bell 1" to "right and left middle correct bell 4", "middle left right correct bell 1" to "middle left right bell 4", About "Middle Right Left Bell 1"-"Middle Right Left Bell 4", "Right Left Middle Bell 1"-"Right Left Middle Bell 4", "Right Middle Left Correct Bell 1"-"Right Middle Left Correct Bell 4" Also, as in the case of “left center right correct answer bell 1”, the symbol combination groups which are prioritized according to the pressing order are different. That is, in any of the identification numbers including these roles, one of the six push orders (the first stop correct answer and the second stop correct answer) wins 100% and nine pieces are paid out. The stop correct answer and the second stop incorrect answer) win 100% and one coin is paid out, and four kinds (the first stop incorrect answer) win if one of the following stop reel operation timings matches, and one coin is paid out. .

(7) Notification control means 106
The notification control unit 106 in FIG. 4 controls the notification on the notification display unit 60 to be the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination unit 107 described later. The notification mode of the notification display 60 will be described later.

(8) Notification mode determination means 107
The notification mode determination unit 107 in FIG. 4 changes the notification mode on the notification display 60 based on the role lottery result of the role selection unit 103 and the state of the slot machine 1 (non-AT, AT preparation, AT in progress) and the like. To decide.

  Specifically, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the game state is “Cherry” or “watermelon A” when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) and the state is a non-AT state or a state of preparing for the AT. Even if any of the identification numbers other than the identification number including “watermelon B” is won, the notification display 60 determines that no notification is made (see the notification type “0” in FIG. 16).

  In addition, when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) and is in the state of non-AT or in the state of preparing for AT when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0), A notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the pressing order (left to middle to right) (see the notification type “1” in FIG. 16), and information that can specify the pressing order (left to right to middle) To be notified (see the notification type “2” in FIG. 16). Either of the two notification modes is determined, for example, by lottery. In addition, the pushing order (left → middle → right) and the pushing order (left → right → middle) are both determined when “(AT allowed +) (AT right +) red 7 big + cherry” is simultaneously won. It is a push order that can win both "Cherry" and "Red 7 Big".

  In addition, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the identification number including “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) and is in the non-AT state or in the AT preparation state. In the case of an internal win, the notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 16) in which information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) is displayed, and the pressing order (middle → right → Left) is determined to be one of the notification modes (see notification type “4” in FIG. 16) in which the information that can be specified is notified. Either of the two notification modes is determined, for example, by lottery. The pushing order (middle → left → right) and the pushing order (middle → right → left) are both “(AT right +) red 7 big + watermelon A”, “watermelon A + BAR big”, “(AT allowable +) (AT Right +) Red 7 Big + Watermelon B ", when you win the small role (" watermelon A "/" watermelon B ") or the bonus role (" red 7 big "/" BAR big ") It is a pushing order that can win both.

  Note that the notification type “0” may be another notification mode instead of the notification mode in which no notification is performed. In that case, it is preferable that the notification mode does not change until at least the third stop operation is performed from a state in which all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are rotating.

  In addition, when the gaming state is a normal RT (RT1) and a non-AT state, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines any identification other than the identification number including “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B”. Even if the number is internally won, the notification display unit 60 determines the notification mode in which nothing is notified (see the notification type “0” in FIG. 17). The notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the gaming state is the normal RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared or in the AT state, and the lottery result is “normal replay”, In the case of the internal winning identification number or the "losing" identification number in any of the above, the notification display 60 determines that the notification mode is to notify nothing (see the notification type "0" in FIG. 17).

  In addition, when the game state is a normal RT (RT1) and the identification number including “Cherry” is won, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the push order (in any of the non-AT state, the AT preparation state, and the AT state). A notification mode of notifying information that can specify left → middle → right (see the notification type “1” in FIG. 17), and a notification of notifying information capable of specifying the pressing order (left → right → middle). One of the modes (see the notification type “2” in FIG. 17) is determined.

  In addition, when the game state is the normal RT (RT1) and an identification number including “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is won, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines whether any of the non-AT, the AT preparation, and the AT Even in the state, it is possible to specify a notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 17) in which information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) can be specified. It is determined to be one of the notification modes of notifying information (see notification type “4” in FIG. 17).

  In addition, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines whether the gaming state is the normal RT (RT1), the state of preparing for the AT, or the state of the AT, and the role lottery result is “promotion replay 1” to identify the internal winning. In the case of a number, the notification mode is determined so as to notify the information that can specify the advantageous pressing order (left → center → right) on the notification display 60 (see notification type “1” in FIG. 17). At this time, also in the case of “promotion replay 2” to “promotion replay 6”, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the notification mode in which the information indicating the advantageous pressing order can be specified on the notification display device 60 ( Notification types “2” to “6” in FIG. 17).

  In addition, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the gaming state is the normal RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared or in the AT state, and the result of the lottery result is “left center right correct bell 1” to “ "Left center right correct bell 4", "Left right correct bell 1"-"Left right correct bell 4", "Middle right correct bell 1"-"Middle right correct bell 4", "Middle right left correct bell 1"-"Medium In the case of an internal winning identification number of any one of "Right-Left Correct Bell 4", "Right-Left Middle Correct Bell 1"-"Right-Left Middle Correct Bell 4", "Right-Center Left Correct Bell 1"-"Right-Center Left Correct Bell 4" Also, in the notification mode, the notification display 60 determines a notification mode of notifying information capable of specifying each advantageous pressing order (see notification types “1” to “6” in FIG. 17).

  When the gaming state is in the AT state where the gaming state is the advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination lottery result is the identification number of the internal winning in “fall replay 1”, the notification mode determination unit 107 displays the notification display 60. The notification mode is determined to notify information that can specify the pressing order of “left → middle → right”, which is one of the advantageous pressing orders (see notification type “1” in FIG. 18). At this time, also in the case where the role lottery result is the identification number of the internal winning in “falling replay 2” and “falling replay 3”, similarly, the notification mode determination unit 107 uses the notification display 60 to select one of the advantageous pushing orders. It is determined to be a notification mode of notifying information that can specify one (see notification types "3" and "5" in FIG. 18).

  In addition, when the gaming state is won in the advantageous RT (RT2) and the identification number including “Cherry”, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the pushing order (left → middle →) in both the non-AT state and the AT state. A notification mode of notifying information that can specify (right) (see the notification type “1” in FIG. 18) and a notification mode of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) (FIG. 18) Notification type "2").

  In addition, when the gaming state is internally won with an identification number including “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” in the advantageous RT (RT2), the notification mode determination unit 107 determines whether the game state is non-AT or AT. A notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) (see notification type “3” in FIG. 18), and information capable of specifying the pressing order (middle → right → left) To be notified (see the notification type “4” in FIG. 18).

  In addition, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the gaming state is during the AT with the advantageous RT (RT2), and the result of the lottery is “left center right correct bell 1” to “left center right correct bell 4”, “left and right”. "Correct Bell 1" to "Right Bell 4", "Correct Bell 1" to "Correct Bell 4", "Correct Left Bell 1" to "Correct Left Bell 4", "Correct Right Left" If the internal winning identification number is any one of "bell 1" to "right and left middle correct bell 4" and "right and middle right correct bell 1" to "right and middle right correct bell 4," it is advantageous to press on the display 60 for notification. The notification mode is determined so that the information whose order can be specified is determined (see notification types "1" to "6" in FIG. 18).

  When the gaming state is in the AT state where the gaming state is the advantageous RT (RT2), and the lottery result is “Pushing order no matter bell” and the internal winning identification number, the push order “left” → Middle → Right, “Left → Right → Middle”, “Middle → Left → Right”, “Middle → Right → Left”, “Right → Left → Middle” It is determined (see FIG. 32 (a)), and a notification mode is set in which the information for indicating the pressing order is notified on the notification display 60 (see notification types "1 to 5" in FIG. 18).

  Further, in this embodiment, during the advantageous RT (RT2) and during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the winning probability of the small role does not change as compared with the normal RT (RT1), but the winning probability of the replaying role is set higher. Have been. Also, in the advantageous RT, “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” are subject to the lottery. However, during the bonus internal winning (RT3), only the “normal replay” of the replaying game is subject to the lottery. (See FIG. 31A). Here, assuming a case in which the player wins the bonus role during the ART game and shifts to the bonus internal win (RT3), before the bonus role is won, the internal win is performed in “fall replay 1” to “fall replay 3”. A notification for avoiding a fall in the gaming state is made at the time of the identification number, but the avoidance is not reported during the bonus internal winning (RT3). In this case, the player is not notified at the time of the replay winning before the notification production of the bonus role election, so that the player may expect the bonus role election. Further, if the notification of the avoidance is issued during the ART, the player expects that the possibility of winning the bonus combination is low, and in any case, it results in reducing the enjoyment of the player. Therefore, the notification mode determination means 107 of this embodiment determines that the gaming lottery result is "Normal" when the gaming state is the state of AT during the bonus internal winning (RT3) and before the notification of the bonus role winning. In the case of an internal winning identification number in the “replay”, i) the pressing order is not notified, ii) information capable of specifying the pressing order (left → middle → right), iii) the pressing order (middle → left) One of four types of notification modes, i.e., notification of information that can specify the right), and iv) notification of information that can specify the pressing order (right, left, and middle) is determined by lottery (FIG. 31). (See (b)), the determined notification mode is determined as the notification mode of the notification display 60 (see the notification type “0 or 1 or 3 or 5” in FIG. 19). The notification mode determined here is preferably the same as the notification mode of avoidance.

  In addition, when the gaming state is won during the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the identification number including “Cherry” is won, the notification mode determining means 107 pushes the button regardless of the state during non-AT, during AT preparation, or during AT. A notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the order (left → center → right) (see the notification type “1” in FIG. 19), and information capable of specifying the pressing order (left → right → center) Is determined (see the notification type “2” in FIG. 19).

  In addition, when the gaming state is won during the bonus internal winning (RT3) and an identification number including “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is won, the notification mode determination means 107 determines whether the game is in the non-AT state, during the AT preparation, or during the AT. In any state, the notification mode of notifying the information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) (see notification type “3” in FIG. 19) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) are specified. It is determined to be one of the notification modes of notifying the possible information (see the notification type “4” in FIG. 19).

  In addition, when the gaming state is the bonus gaming state (BB1) and the winning combination lottery result is “BAR aligned replay” or “fake play” and the internal winning identification number is shown in FIG. When the AT is in the allowed state, the notification display 60 determines that the information indicating that there is a possibility that it is advantageous if the BAR is aimed at from the left is notified (see the notification type “7” in FIG. 20). In the AT non-permissible state shown in FIG. 5, the notification display unit 60 determines the notification mode in which nothing is notified (see the notification type “0” in FIG. 20). In the AT non-permissible state shown in FIG. 5, a notification indicating the operation procedure of the stop switches 21 </ b> L, 21 </ b> M, 21 </ b> R such that the BARs are not aligned may be performed on the notification display 60.

(9) Command creation means 108
The command creating means 108 in FIG. 4 includes various information such as information on the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103, information on the operation of operating devices operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the start switch 19, and the like. Is generated to transmit the information of the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Then, the command generated by the command creation unit 108 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73 by the command transmission unit 113 as described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63. In other words, a command for instructing the effect content to be executed on the sub-control board 73 is created by the command creating unit 108.

  Further, the command creating means 108 creates a command corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60 based on the state of the slot machine 1 and the result of the role drawing of the role drawing means 103. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 20, a command (for example, “Normal Replay”) that can specify the type of the role that constitutes the role lottery result (identification number of the winning combination group) of the role lottery means 103. In this case, "$ 01" is created, and a command (for example, initial RT (RT0)) capable of specifying the type of notification mode (corresponding to "notification type" in FIGS. 16 to 20) of the notification display 60. If "Cherry" is won during non-ART, "0" is created.

  Although FIGS. 16 to 20 omit the AT permitted role, the AT right role, and the bonus role (“red 7 big”, “BAR big”), the command creating unit 108 identifies the role including these roles. A command is also created to determine whether or not the winning combination group of the number has been won, and to specify the type when the internal winning has been achieved.

(10) Reel detecting means 109
The reel detecting means 109 shown in FIG. 4 outputs detection signals from the left, center, and right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R to the reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R that drive the left, center, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. The rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected based on the number of supply pulses. In this case, the reel detecting means 109 generates a symbol located at a predetermined reference position (for example, the middle stage of the display window 11 in this embodiment) during rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R and when the rotation is stopped. The corresponding frame numbers are respectively detected.

(11) Symbol determination means 110
The symbol determination unit 110 in FIG. 4 determines the display mode of the symbols on the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that are stopped and stopped by the stop control unit 105 based on the rotation positions of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. It is determined whether or not the display mode is the selected display mode, and it is determined whether or not the display result of the symbol when the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is a predetermined winning mode.

(12) Payout control means 111
The payout control means 111 of FIG. 4 is for giving a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the result of the determination by the symbol determination means 110, and the symbol determination means 110 determines that one of the roles has been won. If the prize has a medal payout, the hopper unit 43 is operated after the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment) to correspond to the winning combination. Pay out medals by the number of payouts to give profit to the player. Until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit, the payout control unit 111 increases the number of credit medals by the payout number in place of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as medal payout.

  Further, when the symbol determining means 110 determines that the re-gaming combination has been won, the payout control means 111 determines that a predetermined number (three) of medals have been inserted and validates the winning line of the next game.

(13) Medal control means 112
4 controls the operation of the medal selector 48 to switch between medal acceptance and non-medal acceptance.

(14) Command transmission means 113
The command transmitting means 113 shown in FIG. 4 transmits a command including various information created by the command creating means 108 from the main control board 63 to the sub-control board 73 in one way. In this case, the game state such as the general game state (RT0, RT1, RT2) and the bonus game state (BB1), the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103, the result of the symbol determination by the symbol determination means 110, the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. A command including information indicating the state of the slot machine 1 such as the rotation / stop state of the slot machine and the payout state of medals by the payout control means 111 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

  In addition, the command transmitting unit 113 transmits to the sub-control board 73 a command including data indicating a detection state of inserted medals by the insertion sensor 53, an operation state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like. In addition, the command transmission unit 113 transmits to the sub-control board 73 a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R have been operated by the player.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub-control board 73 shown in FIG. 4 receives commands transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs an effect according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing programs stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving unit 200 in FIG. 4 receives a command including various information transmitted by the command transmitting unit 113 of the main control board 63. When receiving the command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function of the sub-control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determining means 201 in FIG. 4 is for determining the effect contents according to the command received by the command receiving means 200. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from an effect pattern set in advance in accordance with the progress of the game, the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103, or the like, or from the speakers 31L and 31R. An effect such as deciding the music or voice to be played or blinking the light sources of the upper lamp section 33 and the lower lamp sections 37L and 37R simultaneously or individually is determined. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 determines the effect content for executing the notification effect corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60.

  Then, the effect content determining means 201 transmits a signal including data on the determined effect content to the display control means 202 and the voice control means 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control means 202 in FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination means 201, and controls the upper lamp section 33 and the lower lamp section 37L. , 37R, etc., at the same time or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control means 203 in FIG. 4 performs control such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting sound based on data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination means 201. .

(Specific examples of ART games)
Next, an example of an AT period (ART game) of the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  For example, if the player wins the identification number 16 “AT allowed + AT right + cherry” and selects the basic continuation rate of 50% by the sorting lottery of the initial right granting means 100d, the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes “100”. Is set, and the subtraction of the counter 654 starts from the game following the game that has won the identification number 16 (start of the AT period: see FIG. 33A). At the same time, counting of the allowable period game number counter 653 is started from the next game after the game that has won the identification number 16 (start of the AT allowable state). In the first set, it is assumed that the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0 without winning the identification number including the AT right combination. In this case, the continuous lottery means 100f determines whether the basic continuation rate of 50% is the reference continuation rate and whether or not to continue the second set at this continuation rate.

  When the first set continuous lottery is won, the initial game number of the second set, 30 games, is set in the AT period game number counter 654. Since the additional game number lottery was not performed in the first set, when the initial game number of 30 games is exhausted in the second set, a trigger for determining the continuous lottery is obtained (see FIG. 33B). In the case of winning the identification number including the AT right combination in the remaining 10 games of the second set, and adding 10 games in the additional game number lottery during the period of the additional means 100e, the initial state in the case where the third game is continued. The number of games is increased from 30 games to 40 games by 10 games (see FIG. 33C). At this time, on the liquid crystal display 27, a notification effect that the initial number of games of the third set increases by 10 games is performed. In the second set, when the remaining 10 games are consumed in this state, the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, which is a trigger for determining a continuous lottery. Here, when the continuous lottery is won, the game continues to the third set, and the count value is set to “40” as the initial game number including the additional amount in the AT period game number counter 654 (see FIG. 33D). .

  If the remaining 20 games of the third set win the identification number including the AT right combination and 70 games are given in the additional game number lottery during the period of the additional means 100e, the initial number of games in the fourth set is 30 The game is added to the upper limit of 100 games (see FIG. 33 (e)). At this time, on the liquid crystal display 27, a notification effect that the initial game number of the fourth set increases by 70 games is performed. In this case, since the number of continuous games in the fourth set becomes the upper limit, when the next identification number including the AT right combination is won, the continuation rate used in the determination of the continuous lottery in the third set is reduced. In addition, during the period, the additional means is added by the additional continuation rate lottery. Therefore, in the liquid crystal display 27, a specific effect indicating that effect (a continuation rate increase possibility effect) is performed. As an example of the continuation rate increase possibility effect, for example, the number of continuation games of the next set, such as suggesting with an indicator display, changing the color of a ball to a rainbow, causing a character to appear on the liquid crystal display 27, or the like, If it can be suggested that the upper limit has been reached, it can be changed as appropriate.

  When the identification number including the AT right combination is won again at the remaining 10 games of the third set after the number of continuous games of the fourth set reaches the upper limit, the additional continuation rate lottery is performed during the period by the additional means 100e. The continuation rate used in the determination of the continuation lottery of the third set is added. For example, when an additional continuation rate of 10% is provided in the additional continuation rate lottery, a notification effect to that effect is performed on the liquid crystal display 27 (see FIG. 33 (f)). If the remaining number of games in the third set is consumed in this state, it will be a trigger for determination of a continuous lottery. The reference continuation rate used for the continuation lottery at this time is added to the basic continuation rate of 50% and added to the continuation rate of 10% to be 60%. If the continuous lottery is won at this time, the fourth set is continued. In the fourth set, since the number of continuous games is the upper limit of 100 games, "100" is set to the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 (see FIG. 33 (g)). In the fifth to fifteenth sets and the additional five sets, the additional game number lottery, the additional continuation rate lottery, and the continuous lottery are similarly performed. In the final 15th set, an ending effect is performed on the liquid crystal display 27.

  As for the continuous lottery at the end of the set, for example, a numerical value corresponding to the number of games set in the set at the start of the set (the number of initial games + the number of additional games) is set as a count value. The count value is decremented by one, and when the count value becomes "0", the continuous lottery means 100f may perform the continuous lottery, or a new counter may be provided in the RAM 65 of the main control board 63. , A similar count may be performed. In the above-described embodiment, the result of the additional game number lottery (the number of additional games) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 as it is to notify the player, but, for example, as shown in FIG. Even if there is an additional game number determined to continue to the upper limit in the next set by the additional game number lottery, the liquid crystal display 27 displays, for example, “next set + 30G”. Alternatively, it may not be known that the next set will continue to the upper limit. In this case, a special effect is performed between the game in which the +70 games have been added by the game number addition lottery and the winning game of the identification number (see FIG. 24) including the next AT right combination. For example, the background screen of the liquid crystal display 27 is changed to a rainbow color (rainbow), the BGM is changed to a special one, or the liquid crystal is changed at any timing until an identification number including the next AT right combination is won. A special character is displayed on the display 27. As another example, when the next identification number including the AT right role is won, it is simultaneously notified that the continuation rate has been added and that the continuation period of the next set has been added to the upper limit. It may be. In this way, an unpredictable profit can be given to the player, so that the interest of the player can be enhanced.

(Specific examples of information production)
Next, the mode of the notification effect controlled by the sub-control board 73 and the example of the notification mode of the notification display 60 controlled by the main control board 63 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 34A, the display 60 for notification includes first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b and a notification lamp 60c. In the case of the notification mode, all the segments S1 to S7 are not turned on in each of the 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b (report type “0”).

  Specifically, when the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “0” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 specifies the command ( Command of “0”). In this case, the effect content determination means 201 does not perform the effect related to the suggestion of the pressing order, but the effect corresponding to the role (bonus role, small role, replaying role) related to the internal winning specified from the information transmitted as the command. Decide on the performance. As an example of the effect determined here, for example, if the role name “normal replay” can be specified from the transmitted command, the blue indicating that the internal number has been won in the winning role group of the identification number including the winning role is indicated. Performs effects such as effects (effects that display the background and specific places in blue).

  In addition, for example, as shown by ● in FIG. 34B (the light-off state is indicated by ○), the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state by turning on the notification lamp 60c by the AT allowable state setting means 100c. Can be notified.

  By the way, the first seven-segment LED 60a is configured to change to a notification mode indicating the next stop operation when the stop operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is performed. On the other hand, the second 7-segment LED 60b is used to specify the type of notification, and is configured to continue the same notification from the notification to the last stop. In principle, the lighting of the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a indicates that the left reel 13L is stopped, the lighting of the segment S3 indicates that the middle reel 13M is stopped, and the lighting of the segment S6 is that of the right reel 13R. Suggests a halt.

-Promotion Replay As shown in FIG. 27 (a), when the symbol combination group "U lip" stops on the winning line, all of "Promotion Replay 1" to "Promotion Replay 6" reappear more than normal RT (RT1). Since the transition to the advantageous RT (RT2) in which the winning probability of the gaming role is set to be high, the re-gaming role having a different degree of advantage depending on the pressing order.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (b), the notification indicator 60 indicates the push order (left → middle → right) that is advantageous to the player when “elevated replay 1” in the AT is the internal winning identification number. The notification is performed to the player in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that is suggested. In this case, as shown in FIG. 34B, in the case of the notification type “1”, the notification display 60 displays the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop. Only the light of only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is lit, indicating that the left reel 13L is stopped. The lighting of the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b indicates that the notification type is “1”. Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first seven-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3 to indicate the stop of the middle reel 13M. During the period from the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first seven-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6 to indicate the stop of the right reel 13R. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second seven-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. In this way, it is possible to inform the player that it is advantageous to operate in the order of pressing (left → center → right).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “1” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command (command of “1”) that can specify the notification type. ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "123" on the liquid crystal display 27 as shown in FIG. Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect (operation order suggestion effect) for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous. In this way, the notification content of the notification display 60 and the notification content of the liquid crystal display 27 can be linked.

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the notification type “2” that indicates the pushing order (left → right → middle) that is advantageous to the player when the “winning replay 2” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. Is notified to the player in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), the segment S1 of the first seven segments 60a is turned on during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on from the second stop to the third stop. Also, for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S3 is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is "2". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “2” (command of “2”), the effect content determination means 201 performs, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, an image such as "132" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, and a notification effect for notifying the player that the pressing order (left → right → middle) is an advantageous pressing order is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the notification type “3” that indicates the pushing order (middle → left → right) that is advantageous to the player when the “reelection replay 3” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. Is notified to the player in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 34 (d), the segment S3 of the first seven segments 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S6 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on from the second stop to the third stop. In addition, for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is "3". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (command of “3”) that can specify the notification type “3”, the effect content determining means 201 has, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, an image such as "213" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, and a notification effect for notifying the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the notification type “4” that indicates the pushing order (middle → right → left) that is advantageous to the player when the “relevant replay 4” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. Notify the player in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), the segment S3 of the first seven segments 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on during the second to third stops. The second seven-segment LED 60b turns on the segment S4 during the period from the start switch 19 being turned on to the third stop, thereby notifying that the notification type is “4”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (command of “4”) that can specify the notification type “4”, the effect content determination means 201 performs, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, an image such as “312” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order. .

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the notification type “5” that indicates the pushing order (right → left → middle) that is advantageous to the player when the “relevant replay 5” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. Is notified to the player in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), the segment S6 of the first seven segments 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on during the second to third stops. In addition, for the second seven-segment LED 60b, the segment S2 is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is "5". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command that can specify the notification type “5” (the command of “5”), the effect content determining means 201 performs, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, an image such as "231" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (right-> left-> middle) is an advantageous pressing order, and determine the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the notification type “6” that indicates the pushing order (right → middle → left) that is advantageous to the player when the “relevant replay 6” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. Is notified to the player in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 35 (c), the segment S6 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S3 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first seven segment 60a is turned on from the second stop to the third stop. In addition, for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S7 is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is "6". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “6” (command of “6”), the effect content determining means 201 determines, for example, as shown in FIG. Then, an image such as “321” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, and a notification effect for notifying the player that the pressing order (right → middle → left) is an advantageous pressing order is determined as the content of the execution effect. . Note that if an operation different from the pressing order is performed despite the notification of the pressing order, the lighting of the first and second segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be stopped.

-Falling replay As shown in FIG. 28 (a), in each of "falling replay 1" to "falling replay 3", when the symbol combination group "D lip" stops on the winning line, the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2). When the symbol combination group “N lip” stops on the pay line when the symbol combination group “N lip” stops at the winning line, the gaming state is maintained at the advantageous RT (RT2), and thus the re-gaming combination having different degrees of advantage depending on the pushing order. .

  As shown in FIG. 28 (b), the notification indicator 60 indicates one of the pushing orders that is advantageous to the player when the "falling replay 1" in the AT is the internal winning identification number. The notification is performed to the player in a notification mode of a notification type “1” indicating the order (left → center → right) (see FIG. 34B).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “1” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command (command of “1”) that can specify the notification type. ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 as shown in FIG. Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect for notifying that is the advantageous pressing order.

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates the “push order (middle → left → right), which is one of the push orders that are advantageous to the player when the identification number of the internal winning is set to“ fall replay 2 ”in the AT.

In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “231” on the liquid crystal display 27 as shown in FIG. 28 (b), and gives the player a pressing order (right → left → middle). Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is favorable.

  In addition, in each of “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3”, since the advantageous pushing order is determined only by the first stop, for example, the notification display 60 may notify only the first stop. . In this case, the notification display 60 displays the first stop, which is advantageous to the player, as shown in FIG. 28C, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification is made to the player in a notification mode of a notification type “α” indicating that the reel is the left reel 13L. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 36 (a), the notification indicator 60 turns on only the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and the left. It indicates that the reel 13L has stopped, and turns on the segments S1 and S2 of the second 7-segment LED 60b. The lighting of the segments S1 and S2 of the second seven-segment LED 60b indicates that the notification type is “α”. Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first seven-segment LED 60a are turned off, suggesting that the pressing order of the remaining reels 13M and 13R is irrelevant. . This makes it possible to notify the player that it is advantageous to operate the stop switch 21L so that the first stop is performed on the left reel 13L.

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “α” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 specifies a command that can specify the notification type (for example, “α”). Command). In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "1--" on the liquid crystal display 27 and first stops the left reel 13 to the player as shown in FIG. Is determined to be an effect to execute a notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  Similar information is given to "falling replay 2" and "falling replay 3" in the case of an internal winning identification number. In this case, it is advantageous to set the notification type of the notification indicator 60 to “β” in the case of the identification number of the internal winning in “falling down replay 2” and to first stop the middle reel 13M in an advantageous pushing order. Notify. Further, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), it is advantageous to display an image such as "-1--" on the liquid crystal display 27 and first stop the middle reel 13M for the player in the pushing order. Notify that. The notification type of the notification indicator 60 in the case of the winning combination "falling replay 3" is set to "γ", and it is notified that the first stop of the right reel 13R is an advantageous pushing order. Further, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), it is advantageous to display an image such as "--1" on the liquid crystal display 27 and to first stop the right reel 13R for the player in the pushing order. Notify to the effect.

-BAR aligned replay and fake play As shown in Fig. 29 (a), both "BAR aligned replay" and "fake replay" that can be won only during the bonus game state (BB1) are the first stop and the left reel 13L. Aiming for the symbol "BAR" at the second stop, aiming for the symbol "BAR" on the middle reel 13M at the second stop, the symbol "BAR" slops down to the right (diagonally down), but aimed at the symbol "BAR" at the final stop. In this case, it depends on whether the symbol "BAR" is aligned to the lower right or not. In addition, when the internal “BAR aligned replay” is internally won in the AT-permitted state, regardless of whether the symbol “BAR” is aligned downward and to the right by the push, the AT right combination is simultaneously won and the additional means 100e is added to the second right during the period. The number of initial games in each of the 15th set is increased by 10 games (identification number 13: see FIG. 24). That is, it is a winning combination in which the player's advantage does not change depending on the pressing order.

  In such a case, if the player is guided to aim at the symbol "BAR" from the left, it is possible to give a thrilling feeling as to whether or not the right to perform the AT game is granted, thereby increasing the interest of the player. Can be. Therefore, when the internal display of “BAR aligned replay” or “fake play” in the bonus game state (BB1) is performed, the notification display 60 guides the player to aim at the symbol “BAR” from the left. The notification is performed to the player in the notification mode of "7" (see FIG. 29B). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 35 (d), the notification display 60 turns on the segments S1 and S2 of the first seven-segment LED 60a during the period from the start of the start switch 19 to the first stop. To indicate that the left reel 13L is stopped, and light the segments S1 and S3 of the second 7-segment LED 60b. At this time, the segment S2 of the seven-segment LED 60a indicates that "the symbol" BAR "is aimed at." The second seven-segment LED 60b maintains the lighting of the segments S1 and S3 during the first to third stops. The lighting of the segments S1 and S3 of the second seven-segment LED 60b indicates that the notification type is "7". Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the third stop, for example, the lighting of the first seven-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S2, the segment S3, and the segment S6. In this case, since the second and third stops may be performed on either reel, both the segment S3 and the segment S6 are lit on the notification display device 60, and further, it is necessary to aim at the symbol "BAR" in the segment S2. I understand. That is, the recommended operation reel and the operation timing are notified in the same manner as the first stop.

  If the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “7” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command that can specify the notification type (the command “7”). ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "Aim BAR from the left!" On the liquid crystal display 27 as shown in FIG. The effect content is determined to execute an effect that guides the player to aim at the symbol “BAR” in the order of “left → center → right”.

-Pushing order bell As shown in FIG. 30 (a), the role names "left center right correct bell 1" to "left center right correct bell 4" are all obtained when the symbol combination group "T bell" stops on the winning line. Since the payout “9” is higher than the other symbol combination groups, it is a small combination (specific combination) having different degrees of advantage depending on the pushing order.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (b), the notification indicator 60 indicates to the player when the identification number of the internal winning is displayed in the "left center right correct bell 1" to "left center right correct bell 4" in the AT. A notification is given to the player in a notification mode of a notification type "1" that suggests an advantageous pressing order (left to middle to right) (see FIG. 34B).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “1” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command (command of “1”) that can specify the notification type. ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays, for example, an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the player that the pressing order (left → middle → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The effect content to be executed is determined (refer to “Sub notification at AT” in FIG. 30B).

  "Right / Left Right Bell 1" to "Right / Right Middle Bell 4", "Middle / Left Right Bell 1" to "Middle / Left Right Bell 4", "Middle Right Left Right Bell 1" to "Middle Right Left Right Bell 4" in AT The same applies to the notification mode when the identification number of the internal winning is given to “right and left middle correct bell 1” to “right and left middle correct bell 4”, “right and middle left correct bell 1” to “right and middle right correct bell 4”. For example, when the identification number of the internally won is “Middle left / right correct bell 1” to “Middle left / right correct bell 4” in the AT, the notification type “Middle → Left → Right” suggesting a pushing order (Middle → Left → Right) that is advantageous to the player. The notification is performed to the player in the notification mode of "3" (see FIG. 34D).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “3” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command that can specify the notification type (the command of “3”). ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays, for example, an image such as “213” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The effect content to be performed is determined.

-Dummy notification in normal replay during RT3 The notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the gaming state is during the AT during the bonus internal winning (RT3) and before the notification of the bonus role winning, and the role lottery. When the result is “normal replay” (identification numbers 2 and 3), i) the pressing order is not notified, ii) information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right), iii) pressing One of four types of notification modes, that is, information that can specify the order (middle → left → right), and information that can specify the pressing order (right → left → middle) is selected by lottery. When the determination is made (see FIG. 31 (b)) and in this lottery, any of the notification modes ii) to iv) is determined to be the notification mode of the notification display 60, the notification display 60 displays the notification. A notification type “1” for notifying information that can specify the pressing order of the mode or Notification of "3" or "5" is performed.

  Specifically, when the notification mode of the item ii) is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107, the notification indicator 60 changes the pressing order (left → middle → right) as shown in FIG. 31 (c). A notification is given to the player in a notification mode of the notification type "1" (see FIG. 34B). In addition, when the notification mode is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107 to the notification mode of iii), the notification display 60 indicates the notification indicating the pressing order (middle → left → right) as shown in FIG. The player is notified in the notification mode of the type “3” (see FIG. 34D). In addition, when the notification mode is determined to be the notification mode of iv) by the notification mode determination unit 107, the notification indicator 60 displays a notification indicating the pressing order (right → left → middle) as shown in FIG. 31 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of the type “5” (see FIG. 35B).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, “3”, or “5” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 specifies the notification type. A possible command ("1" or "3" or "5" command) has been received. In this case, the effect content determining means 201 displays an image capable of specifying the pressing order determined by the notification mode determining means 107 on the liquid crystal display 27, for example, as shown in FIG. The effect of notifying the order is determined as the content of the execution effect.

-Pushing order irrelevant bell The notification mode determining means 107 determines that the gaming state is during the AT of the advantageous RT (RT2), and when the lottery result is "Pushing order irrelevant bell" and the internal winning identification number, One of the following five order: left → middle → right, left → right → middle, middle → left → right, middle → right → left, right → left → middle Is determined by lottery (see FIG. 32 (a)), and is determined in the notification mode in which information that can specify the determined pressing order is notified on the notification display 60 (notification types “1 to 5” in FIG. 18). reference).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), when the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the pressing order “left → middle → right”, the notification display 60 displays the pressing order (left → middle → right). Is notified to the player in the notification mode of the notification type "1" (see FIG. 34B). The same applies to the case where the other pressing order is determined.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “1” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 transmits a command (command of “1”) that can specify the notification type. ) Has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the pressing order (left → center → right), as shown in FIG. 32B, for example. Decide on the effect content to execute the effect. The same applies to the case where the other pressing order is determined.

-Notifying only the first stop As another example of the notification effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, for example, a part of the pressing order may be notified, and the remaining pressing order may be selected by the player. May be configured. For example, when the first stop is the left reel 13L and the second and third stopped reels 13M and 13R are to be selected by the player, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), the start switch 19 is turned ON to the first stop. During this period, the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segments S1 and S7 of the second seven-segment LED 60b are turned on. Since the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a corresponds to the left reel 13L, it can be suggested that the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 13L. Also, during the period from the first stop to the third stop, from the ON of the first start switch 19 to the third stop, the segments S3 and S6 of the 7-segment LED 60a are turned on. The segment S3 of the first seven-segment LED 60a corresponds to the middle reel 13M, and the segment S6 corresponds to the right reel 13R. The pressing order of the reel 13R can be selected. The lighting of the segments S1 and S7 of the second 7-segment LED 60b indicates that the notification type according to the notification mode is “z”.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “z” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 specifies the command (command of “z”) that can specify the notification type. ) To receive. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays, for example, an image such as “1 ??” on the liquid crystal display 27, and guides the player to select the remaining pressing order with the first reel being the left reel 13L. The effect content to be executed is determined.

-Pushing of 7 As another example of notification, for example, a notification to guide the user to press 7 may be given. In this case, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the segments S1, S3, S5, and S6 of the first seven-segment LED 60a are turned on during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop, and The segments S1 and S5 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. At this time, since the pressing order is arbitrary, the segments S1, S3, and S6 of the first seven-segment LED 60a are turned on. The segment S5 of the first seven-segment LED 60a means "aim at seven". The lighting of the segments S1 and S5 of the second seven-segment LED 60b indicates that the notification type according to the notification mode is “y”.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification is to be performed in the notification mode of the notification type “y” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 specifies the command (“y” command) that can specify the notification type. ) To receive. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Aim at 7!” On the liquid crystal display 27 and performs an effect to prompt the player to press the symbol “Red 7”. Decide on the content.

Next, the notification mode of the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27 in the case where the identification number including “Cherry”, “watermelon A” and “watermelon B” is internally won will be described. As described above, “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” may be simultaneously won with the bonus role (“Red 7 Big” / “BAR Big”). When an internal number is won for an identification number including a combination, the notification display 60 provides notification in the same notification mode in the case of a single win and the case of a simultaneous win.

  For example, one of "Cherry", "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) red 7 big + cherry" and "(AT allowed + AT right +) BAR big + cherry" is internally won, and the notification mode determination means 107 When the notification type is determined to be “1”, the notification display 60 turns on only the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a and turns on the left reel 13L during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop. In addition to suggesting a stop, only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. During the period from the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first seven-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3 to indicate the stop of the middle reel 13M. During the period from the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first seven-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6 to indicate the stop of the right reel 13R. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second seven-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. In other words, when the same notification type is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107, the notification display unit 60 is notified in the same notification mode even if the role lottery result of the role selection unit 103 is different. When notified in this manner, the player is prompted to operate the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pressing (left → center → right). Then, if the player follows the notified pushing order, for example, even when the player internally wins “Red 7 Big + Cherry”, one of “Cherry” and “Red 7 Big” is pushed by the eye. Can be selectively won. On the other hand, if this notification is not followed, it will not be possible to win "Red 7 Big" regardless of the timing of operation other than the pressing order (left → right → middle).

-Cherry One of "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) cherry", "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) red 7 big + cherry" and "(AT allowed + AT right +) BAR big + cherry" , The command receiving means 200 has received a command (“$ 05” command) that can specify the type of the internal winning transmission group (see FIGS. 16 to 20). In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Cherry!” On the liquid crystal display 27 and displays “Cherry” to the player during the period from the start switch 19 to the second stop. Is determined to be an effect content for executing a suggestion effect suggesting that the player has been internally won. Note that even if the player internally wins “Red 7 Big + Cherry” or “BAR Big + Cherry”, it does not report that the player has internally won the bonus role (“Red 7 Big” or “BAR Big”) in the game. To inform only the internal winning of "Cherry". In this way, even in the case of single winning of "Cherry", it is possible to give the player an expectation that the player may have won the bonus combination. Further, the image of “Cherry!” Displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing before the lever is turned on and before the third stop.

Watermelon Next, for example, “(AT allowed +) (AT right +) watermelon A”, “(AT right +) red 7 big + watermelon A”, “BAR big + watermelon A”, “(AT allowed +) (AT Right +) Watermelon B ”or“ AT Permissible + AT Right + Red 7 Big + Watermelon B ”is internally won, and if the notification type“ 3 ”is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107, a notification display is displayed. The unit 60 turns on the segment S3 of the first seven-segment 60a during the ON-first stop of the start switch 19, and turns on the segment S1 of the first seven-segment 60a during the first to second stop. Then, during the second to third stops, the segment S6 of the first seven segments 60a is turned on. In addition, for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is "3". When notified, the player is prompted to operate the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pressing (middle → left → right). Then, if the player follows the informed push order, for example, even when the player internally wins “Red 7 Big + Watermelon A”, the player pushes “Red Watermelon A” and “Red 7 Big” Either one can be selectively won. On the other hand, if this notification is not followed, it is not possible to win "Red 7 Big" regardless of the timing except for the pressing order (middle → right → left).

  Also, "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) watermelon A", "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A", "BAR big + watermelon A", "(AT allowed +) (AT right +) watermelon B In the case of an identification number that has been internally won for any of "" and "AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B", the command receiving means 200 specifies a command that can specify the internal winning transmission group type (see FIGS. 16 to 20). (Both watermelon A and watermelon B have received a command of “$ 06”). In this case, for example, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Chance!” On the liquid crystal display 27 and displays “Watermelon A” to the player during the period from the start switch 19 to the second stop. Alternatively, the effect content to execute a suggestion effect indicating that “watermelon B” has been internally won is determined. In the case of an identification number that has been internally won for any of the simultaneous winning combinations of “AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A”, “BAR big + watermelon A” and “AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B”, In this game, the internal winning of “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is reported without informing that the internal winning of the bonus combination (“red 7 big”, “BAR big”) has been achieved. In this way, even in the case of single winning of “watermelon A” or “watermelon B”, it is possible to give the player an expectation that the player may have won the bonus combination. The image of “CHANCE!” Displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing before the lever is turned on and before the third stop. In addition, regarding the suggestion effect that suggests the determination result of the role lottery means 103, not only the effect in which the type of the role that has been completely won becomes clear, such as the effect at the time of internal winning, in the identification number including “Cherry” as described above, For the “specific role”, an effect is also included in which the degree of expectation of the internal winning of the “specific role” is improved by the occurrence of the effect compared to when there is no effect.

-Bonus notification The effect content determination means 201 is an effect that, when a bonus is internally won (RT3), notifies the player that the bonus role has been internally won at a predetermined opportunity (for example, a game following the game of winning the bonus role). A certain bonus confirmation effect is determined as the content of the execution effect. In this case, for example, an image such as “Bonus determined!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify the internal winning of the bonus combination. In the game after the bonus finalizing effect during the bonus internal winning (RT3) has been performed, the effect content determining means 201, for example, when the role name “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is internally won, The effect of displaying characters such as “watermelon” in a predetermined area of the liquid crystal display 27 is determined as the content of the execution effect. At this time, the notification indicator 60 performs notification in a notification mode that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) or the pressing order (middle → right → left) (notification type “3” or “notification” in FIG. 19). 4 "). In this way, it is understood that the player has internally won the role name “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

(Specific examples of games)
Next, a specific example of the timing of turning on and off the notification lamp 60c will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) "AT allowed + AT right + cherry" winning (identification number 16)
As shown in FIG. 37 (a), when an “AT allowed + AT right + cherry” is won in an AT non-accepted state, by performing a suggestive effect of displaying “chance” on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game, Performing a production that gives the player the expectation that he may have won the AT allowed. When the identification number is won, an AT period for at least 100 games, which is the initial number of games in the first set, is given by the initial right granting means 100d. In this case, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state and turns on the notification lamp 60c at the time of starting the next game after the game which has won the identification number 16. Further, the AT game possible state determining means 100g determines that the game is in the AT game possible state and sets the flag during the AT period to ON. Note that the AT allowable state setting means 100c may turn on the notification lamp 60c at the end of the winning game. Note that the winning in the AT non-permitted state does not use the AT right winning in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 37 (a), the state becomes the AT preparation state after the state becomes the AT allowable state (AT game possible state). The AT preparation state is a state where it is waiting for a transition from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), and when any of the identification numbers “4” to “9” (elevated replays 1 to 6) is internally won. The pressing order (see FIG. 27A) for winning the “U lip” with the identification number is notified to the liquid crystal display 27. When the player wins the "U lip", the game state shifts from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), and becomes an ART game (assist replay time game). Note that, in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the game shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2), that is, regardless of whether or not the game is in the AT preparation state, the next game that has won the identification number including the AT allowable combination will start from the next game. The first set AT period game number counter 654 starts subtraction, and the allowable period game number counter 653 starts counting.

  If the continuous lottery in any of the sets is not won, the AT allowable state ends, and the next game shifts to the AT non-allowable state. In addition, at the timing when the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R of the third stop are operated in the game in which the continuous lottery is not won, the lighted notification lamp 60c is turned off.

(2) "Red 7 Big + Cherry" winning (identification number 18)
As shown in FIG. 37 (b), when the player wins “Red 7 Big + Cherry”, a suggestion effect of displaying “Chance” on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game is performed, thereby allowing the player to accept the AT. Perform a production that gives the expectation that you may have won. Next, after three games have elapsed in a state in which the bonus role has been carried over (RT3), a definitive effect notifying that the bonus role has been internally won is performed, and the bonus role that has been carried over is awarded. It shifts to a game state (BB1).

  In the example shown in FIG. 37 (b), since the notification lamp 60c is not turned on and the AT is not allowed, the notification effect is not performed even if the BAR-matched replay (fake play) is won during the bonus game. Although it is configured, for example, an operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R such that BARs are not aligned may be notified. In this embodiment, the AT execution right (the number of games in the AT period) is not given even if the BAR-matched replay (identification number 13), which simultaneously wins the AT right, is won in the AT non-permission state. By performing the notification effect such that the BARs are not aligned, it is possible to reduce complaints from the player that the AT execution right is not given despite the BARs are aligned.

  Then, when the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b ends the bonus game state (BB1) and sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0).

(3) "AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" winning (identification number 19)
As shown in FIG. 37 (c), when the player wins “AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + cherry” in the AT non-permitted state, a suggestion effect of displaying “chance” on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game. Is performed, an effect that gives the player the expectation that the player may have won the AT allowable winning is performed. At this time, the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state and starts counting the allowable period game number counter 653 from the next game after the winning game, but notifies until the bonus is won. The lamp 60c is not turned on. During the bonus internal winning (RT3), each lottery by the adding means 100e is not performed during the period. In addition, since the winning is performed in the AT non-permissible state, the AT right winning is not used.

  When a winning bonus combination is won, the game shifts to a bonus game state (BB1). At a predetermined timing, the liquid crystal display 27 is used to perform an effect of notifying that the AT execution right has been granted when "AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" is won.

  Also, in the example shown in FIG. 37 (c), the notification lamp 60c is lit during the bonus and the AT is in the allowed state. We perform such an information production. When the number of games is added to the number of games played during the AT period during the bonus game state (BB1), an effect of notifying the number of added games is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 37 (c), when the winning combination group having the identification number 13 is won, it is notified that the initial number of games in each of the second to fifteenth sets has been increased by 10 games.

  If the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b ends the bonus game state (BB1), sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0), and sets the AT game possible state determination means 100g during the AT period. The AT period is started by setting the flag to ON. If the continuous lottery in any of the sets is not won, the AT allowable state ends, and the next game shifts to the AT non-allowable state. At this time, the AT permission state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permission state and turns off the notification lamp 60c.

  If the bonus is won during the AT period, after the AT period game number counter 654 is decremented and the permissible period game number counter 653 is added, the AT period is interrupted and the bonus internal winning is performed (RT3). ), And returns to the AT period via the bonus game state (BB1). In addition, during the AT period and during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the additional game number lottery and the additional continuation rate lottery are not performed, and the navigation (AT game) is not performed. In this case, the navigation (AT game) may be performed so that the payout rate is less than 1. In this embodiment, the notification lamp 60c is configured to remain lit from the time when the bonus combination is won during the AT period until the end of the bonus. The notification lamp 60c may be turned off temporarily until the operation is completed (during the inside of the bonus (RT3)). In this embodiment, even during the AT period, the inside of the bonus (RT3) is configured so that the AT game or the number of games is not added to the lottery, so that the medal of the player may decrease. Therefore, when the notification lamp 60c is turned off in this way, it is possible to prompt the player to win a bonus at an early stage.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the AT allowable combination and the bonus combination are simultaneously won, the AT allowable state setting means 100c turns on (turns on) the notification lamp 60c at the time of the bonus prize. , I) the next game that has won the “AT allowed combination + bonus combination”, ii) the timing at which the bonus is notified, and iii) the game following the bonus confirmation.

  In the present embodiment, the game is shifted from the next game after the game that has won the identification number including the AT permitted combination (see FIG. 22) to the AT permitted state. May be configured to shift from the next game after this period to the bonus game state or the AT permitted state (start of the AT permitted state continuation period). Similarly, in the AT period, the subtraction of the AT period game number counter 654 may be started from the game following the game in which the precursor period has ended. In this case, the notification lamp 60c is not turned on during the warning period, and the lighting of the notification lamp 60c is started from the game following the game in which the warning period has ended. Further, in this embodiment, if the player wins the identification number (see FIG. 10) including both the AT permitted combination and the bonus combination, the AT starts after the bonus ends, but the notification lamp 60c turns off the precursory period. Lighting may be started when the player wins the bonus, and the count of the allowable period game number counter 653 may be started from this time. In the case where a precursor period is provided, a precursor notification lamp for reporting that the precursor period is being provided may be provided. In addition, in the case of winning a rare role (“watermelon” or “cherry”) that does not include the AT permitted role or bonus role, a gaseous omen period is set up, and during that period, there is a possibility that the AT and bonus may be won. A suggested effect may be performed. In this case, the notification lamp 60c is not turned on during the gassing warning period, but the warning lamp is turned on for a predetermined period (for example, 32 games), and when the predetermined period ends, the warning lamp is turned off. It is good to With this configuration, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that an AT or a bonus may be won by turning on the precursor notification lamp. If the player wins the identification number including the bonus combination (see FIG. 10) during the precursor period (including the gaseous precursor period), the player wins the identification number, notifies the bonus confirmation, or wins the bonus. It is good to turn off the light. By doing so, when the player wins the identification number including cherry and watermelon, the player can not know whether the AT right has been selected or not, thereby increasing interest. During the precursor period, the AT game and the AT allowable lottery may not be performed. When the bonus prize is won, the notification lamp 60c is turned on and the counting of the duration of the AT allowable state is started only in the case of a so-called first hit in which the state shifts from the non-AT allowable state to the AT allowable state. In the case of winning, the counting of the duration of the AT allowable state is continued from the inside of the bonus (RT3) to the winning of the bonus.

(Operation after limiter condition is satisfied)
Next, with reference to FIG. 38, a description will be given of the timing at which the AT allowable winning becomes possible after the limiter condition is satisfied.

(1) When AT Allowable Winning becomes Possible After Shifting to RT1 or RT0 As shown in FIG. 38 (a), when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied, the state is set to the AT non-acceptable state and (“01h” → "00h"), the limiter flag is set to ON ("0" → "1"). At this time, as long as the limiter flag is set to ON, even if a lottery value that becomes the AT allowable winning is obtained, the AT allowable winning is not performed. The game state is set to RT1 by winning with the falling symbol, and the limiter flag is set to OFF ("1" → "0"), thereby enabling the AT-allowed winning.

  Note that while the limiter flag is set to ON, for example, by changing the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c such as the color and brightness, it is notified that the apparatus is in the normal state waiting state.

(2) When AT Allowable Winning is Possible from the Next Game After Limiter Condition is Established As shown in FIG. 38B, when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied and the game is set to the AT non-acceptable state (""). 01h "→" 00h "), the notification lamp 60c is turned off, and after the notification lamp 60c is turned off, an AT-permitted winning can be achieved. In this way, even if the configuration is made such that the AT allowable winning can be performed in the RT2, the lottery value for the AT allowable winning is uniformly configured irrespective of the gaming state similarly to the bonus combination, so that fairness can be secured. .

  In addition, when the AT allowable winning is achieved during the RT2, the counting of the number of games in the AT period may be started while maintaining the RT2, or the RT period may be shifted from RT2 to RT1 once, and the AT period may be shifted again to the RT period. The counting of the number of games may be started. In this case, the count of the duration of the AT allowable state for determining the limiter condition is configured to start from 0.

(Modification Example of Allocation of Lottery Value to Determine AT Right Winning)
Next, with reference to FIG. 39, a description will be given of a modification of the allocation status of the lottery value for determining the AT right winning. In this example, the sorting lottery of the number of added games (additional game number lottery) will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to the sorting lottery of the additional continuation rate (additional continuation rate lottery).

  As shown in FIG. 39 (a), this modified example is different from the above-described embodiment in that the AT permitted state is different in the ease of the AT right winning (addition of the number of games). In the embodiment described above, including the second situation b and the third situation c, the lottery value range (30: FIG. 11) assigned to the winning combination group “AT right + normal replay” indicated by the identification number 3 (see FIG. 10) To FIG. 14) are assigned such that the AT winning state differs depending on the first to third situations a, b, and c, and a winning combination group of identification numbers 3a, 3b, and 3c is configured. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 39A, the lottery value range assigned to the entire identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c is the same as the lottery value range assigned to the identification number 3 shown in FIG. 10 (30: FIG. 11). To FIG. 14), and the lottery value range assigned to each of the identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c is the same as in the above-described embodiment, regardless of the type of the set value. The ranges are configured to be the same. Then, based on the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a at the time of starting the game, the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which winning combination group of each of the identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c has been won. .

  Further, the first situation a (normal AT allowed state) is an AT allowed state excluding the second and third situations b and c. In the second situation b, 300 games or more have elapsed since the transition to the AT allowed state. This is the AT allowable state later. In addition, the third situation c is an AT allowed state in which 50 games continue when the transfer lottery at the time of the bell win in the pushing order in the AT allowed state is won with a winning probability of 1/2, and during the third situation c, When the AT permission state ends, the third situation c also ends. When the lottery to the third situation c is won during the second situation b, the third situation c is given priority over the second situation c, and the condition of the second situation b is satisfied at the end of the third situation c. If so, the second situation b is given priority over the first situation a. The timing of changing each of the situations a, b, and c is not limited to the above example, and the result of the lottery after the AT is allowed, the history of the lottery, the number of games that have elapsed since the AT was allowed, and the Each of the situations a, b, and c can be appropriately changed according to the number of medals acquired later.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (b), the first situation determination table 675a in which data referred to determine the number of games to be added in the game in the first situation a by the additional means 100e during the period is stored. It constitutes a part of the AT game number addition table 675 for the identification number 3a. Further, as shown in FIGS. 39 (b) and 39 (c), a second situation determination in which data to be referred to for determining the number of games to be added in the game in the second situation b by the additional means 100e during the period is stored. The table 675b constitutes a part of the AT game number addition table 675 for the identification numbers 3a and 3b. Further, as shown in FIGS. 39 (b), (c), and (d), data stored for reference in order to determine the number of additional games in the game in the third situation c by the additional means 100e during the period is stored. The three situation determination table 675c constitutes a part of the AT game number addition table 675 for the identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c.

  At this time, if the result of the role lottery means 103 of the role lottery means 103 wins the identification number 3a, if the first situation a, the additional means 100e during the period, the first situation determination table 675a shown in FIG. , The additional game number lottery is performed, and if it is the second situation b, the additional means 100e during the period performs the additional game number lottery using the second situation determination table 675b shown in FIG. In the case of the three situations c, the additional means 100e performs the additional game lottery using the third situation determination table 675c shown in FIG. 39B during the period.

  Also, when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 wins the identification number 3b, in the first situation a, the AT right is not won, and in the second situation b, the addition means 100e during the period is shown in FIG. The additional game number lottery is performed using the second situation determination table 675b shown in FIG. 39 (c). If the third situation is c, the addition means 100e during the period determines the third situation determination shown in FIG. 39 (c). The additional game number lottery is performed using the table 675c. Also, when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 has won the identification number 3c, if the first and second situations a and b, the AT right is not won, and if the third situation c, it is added during the period. The means 100e performs an additional game number lottery using the third situation determination table 675c shown in FIG. 39 (d).

  With this configuration, data referred to by the adding means 100e during the period to determine whether to add the initial game number can be made different depending on each of the situations a, b, and c included in the AT allowable state. Therefore, it is possible to achieve an improvement in game performance while maintaining fairness. Thus, the second situation b is configured to be easier to win the AT right than the first situation a, and the third situation c is configured to be easier to win the AT right than the second situation b and the first situation a. ing.

  Further, in this modification, the determination result storage means 104 determines the determination result regarding the AT permission winning and the AT right winning using a flag composed of 1 bit and storing ON and OFF, for example, as follows. The result can be stored in the result storage area 652. That is, each bit corresponds to i) AT allowed win, ii) AT right win in first situation a, iii) AT right win in second situation b, iv) AT right win in third situation c. A 4-bit area to be allocated is secured in the determination result storage area 652, and the determination result storage unit 104 determines whether each of the above-described bits is ON, By setting OFF, it is possible to collectively manage the determination results regarding the AT allowable winning and the AT right winning.

  At this time, when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is confirmed, if the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permission state, the determination result storage area 652 in which the determination result about the AT permissible role is stored. The bit is referred to, but each bit of the determination result storage area 652 in which the determination result of the AT right combination is stored is not referred to. When the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state, the AT right is set. The bits corresponding to the current state of the AT permitted state among the bits in which the determination result of the role is stored are referred to, but the bits corresponding to other situations of the AT right role and the determination result of the AT permitted role are referred to. Is configured not to refer to the bit of the decision result storage area 652 in which is stored. In this manner, when storing lottery results in a plurality of situations, a large amount of storage capacity is required to store the lottery results in each situation in a configuration in which a 1-byte storage capacity is provided for each situation. However, it is more preferable to store the lottery result for each situation with a flag composed of one bit, since the storage capacity for storing the lottery result can be greatly reduced.

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the special game permission state in which the AT game is permitted ends (limits) when 1500 games are continued even if the continuous lottery is not won, so that an upper limit is set for the duration of the AT period. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the player's ambition that the AT period can be continued for a long time and a large amount of medals can be obtained. Further, if the game property in the AT period is set as the game property of the continuation rate type, and the identification number including the AT right combination is won during the AT period, the initial game number given to the next set after the set increases (additional game). Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the additional type game property while maintaining the continuation rate type game property. Further, if it is determined that the next set will continue to the upper limit (100 games) by the additional game number lottery and an identification number including the AT right combination is won, the continuation rate (reference continuation rate) used for the continuous lottery at the end of the set is determined. Since the rate increases, if it is determined that the next set will continue to the upper limit, if an identification number including the AT right combination is won, there is a high possibility that the next set will be continued. That is, in the configuration in which the limiter is provided, both the addition and the increase in the continuation rate can be given to the player to increase the interest of the player, and the dissatisfaction of the player with the limiter can be alleviated. In addition, after the duration of the next set has been extended to the upper limit, if an identification number including an AT right combination is won, the reference set percentage of the set is increased, so that the duration of the next set is increased. Despite winning the identification number including the AT right combination after being extended to the upper limit, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the player due to no profit being obtained.

  Also, during the set, if it is determined that the next game will continue up to the upper limit (100 games) when continuing to the next set of the set, there is a possibility that the reference continuation rate of the set will increase Is notified. In this way, it can be seen that the duration of the next set has been extended to the upper limit, and whether the duration of the next set is extended when an identification number including the AT right role is subsequently elected is determined. It is possible to prevent confusion as to whether the reference continuation rate of the set increases.

  In addition, the case where the duration of the next set is extended and the case where the reference continuation rate of the set is increased are the same occasions (winning of the identification number including the AT right combination). You can enjoy the game without feeling strange.

  Further, in this embodiment, whether or not to enter the AT game allowable state in which the AT game advantageous to the player is permitted is determined by the role lottery means 103 in the game in the AT game non-permissible state in which the AT game is not permitted. It is determined by the same lottery value as the lottery value used when performing. Whether or not to perform the additional game number lottery and the additional continuation rate lottery is determined by the lottery value used when the role lottery means 103 performs the role lottery in the game in the AT allowable state. That is, in the main control board 63, the lottery value for the role lottery, which is generally designed to be highly secure and difficult to perform fraud, is determined in a one-to-one manner whether or not each lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is an AT allowable winning. It is associated with each other, and whether or not an AT right is won is associated with each other on a one-to-one basis. Therefore, it is uniquely determined whether or not an AT allowable winning is determined based on a lottery value generated based on the start of the game, and furthermore, whether or not an AT right winning is determined. be able to. Therefore, by determining whether or not to win the AT permitted by a fair lottery and determining whether or not to win the AT right by a fair lottery, it is possible to more efficiently take countermeasures against fraud in the AT game.

  Further, by using the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, similarly to the bonus combination that determines whether or not the combination lottery means 103 has always won with the same expected value, whether or not it is AT allowed winning, Whether or not to win the AT right can always be determined with the same expected value. Therefore, in the same manner as when to expect whether or not to win the bonus role, it is determined whether or not to win the AT in the AT non-permission state for each game. In the AT allowable state, it can be expected whether or not an AT right has been won, so that the interest of the player can be improved. Further, since one lottery value determines which combination has been won, whether or not the AT is allowed, and whether or not the AT right has been won, the player can make an AT based on which role has been won. It can be inferred whether or not an acceptable state is reached and whether or not an AT right is won, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game. Further, by making three determinations based on one lottery value, it is possible to reduce the processing load for generating the lottery value.

  Further, in this embodiment, when one of the pressing order bells (identification numbers 33 to 56) is elected during the non-AT, it is understood that one of the pressing order bells ($ 07) has been elected. A command of the notification type “0” is transmitted to the sub-control board 73 so that the order cannot be specified. However, “Left center right correct answer 1-4”, “Right right correct answer 1-4”, “Middle left right correct answer 1-4”, “Middle right left correct answer 1-4”, “Right left middle correct answer 1-4”, “Right If the widths of the random value ranges of the “middle left correct answers 1 to 4” are not the same, the expected value of the payout differs depending on the pressing order. In this case, even if the push order of the correct answer is not known, only the information that the winning combination is the push order bell is obtained, which is more advantageous than the player who does not obtain the information. Therefore, in order to reliably prevent fraud, it is preferable that the widths of the random number value ranges of the respective roles constituting the “push order bell” are all the same.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes other than those described above can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, plus the duration unit 100e, when winning the identification number containing the AT right role in the set, first, the number of plus game to extend between continuous period granted to the next set (plus) After a lottery is performed and it is determined that the lottery will be extended to the upper limit (100 games) of the next set, if the player wins the identification number including the AT right combination again, the continuation rate used for the continuous lottery of the set will be increased. Although the addition continuation rate lottery is configured, the order may be reversed. In other words, when an identification number including an AT right combination is won in a predetermined set (corresponding to the “continuation rate increase acquisition set section” of the present invention) (corresponding to “predetermined continuation rate increase trigger” of the present invention), during the period The adding means 100e first performs an additional continuation rate lottery, and as a result, the predetermined continuation rate (reference continuation rate) used in the determination of the continuous lottery of the predetermined set becomes 100%, and After it is determined that the next set (corresponding to the “continuation rate increase acquisition next set section” of the present invention) is continued, if the identification number including the AT right role is again won, the next set (continuation rate increase acquisition next set) the plus game number lottery extending between continuous period granted to the section) within the upper (plus) may be configured to perform. In this way, when the player wins the identification number including the AT right combination during the AT period, the degree of expectation of continuing to the next set is increased, and the user can enjoy the game property of being safe. Also, as in the present embodiment, when plus in reverse order to this, if you win the identification number containing the AT right, when elected to continue drawing of the set, inter continuation period in the next set of It is possible to enjoy the longer game characteristics. Also, in this case, if the continuous lottery of the set is not won, the profit won by the identification number including the AT right may not be obtained. There is a merit that it is easy to generate many additional opportunities. Further, the plus continuation rate lottery in the set, if it is confirmed to continue the next set, as in the present embodiment, for example, in a liquid crystal display device 27, between the continuous phase of the next set is extended You may make it perform the specific effect (the next set extension possibility effect) which suggests that there is a possibility. In this way, along with it it can be seen that it has been determined to continue the next set period (retention rate increases acquired next set period), or at a subsequent predetermined extended opportunity for the predetermined continuous rate increases, continuing period Can be prevented from being confused. Also in this case, even if there is an additional that determines to continue to the next set by the additional continuation rate lottery, the liquid crystal display 27 displays a smaller value than the actual value so that this fact cannot be understood. The addition of the continuation rate may be displayed. Then, a notification to that effect is made before the game winning the identification number including the AT right combination, and when the identification number including the next AT right combination is won, it is determined that the game is to be continued to the next set. And the fact that the number of games to be continued in the next set has been increased.

  Further, in this embodiment, the additional game number lottery and the additional continuation rate lottery are both configured to be performed at the same opportunity when one of the identification numbers shown in FIG. 24 is won. For example, the additional game number lottery One of the triggers may include a different trigger from the other, such as when the player wins an identification number that is not a trigger in the additional continuation rate lottery. In this way, in one occasion, the advantage of adding the number of games or increasing the continuation rate is given even in another occasion different from the other occasion, so that the interest of the player can be further improved. .

  Further, in this embodiment, a case has been described in which the basic continuation rate of each set (the initial continuation rate before being added by the adding means 100e during the period) is all the same. You may comprise so that there may be a different thing. In this way, a change in the degree of continuous expectation for the next set is generated depending on the set, so that the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, when the player wins the identification number 13 including the BAR-matched replay during the bonus (BB1), the number of initial games in the second to fifteenth sets is increased by 10 games. The reference continuation rate of each set may be added by lottery.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described where the identification numbers 2 to 14 including the replay combination (replay) do not include the AT permitted combination. However, for example, as illustrated in FIG. At least one of them may be configured to include the AT permission combination. In this case, the type of the replaying combination including the AT permitted combination may be changed for each type of the RT gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3). However, in this case, even if the type of the RT gaming state is changed, in both cases of the RT gaming state, both the AT allowable combination and the re-gaming combination are performed so that the probability of winning the AT when the re-gaming combination is won is the same. It is preferable that the sum of the lottery value ranges of the identification numbers including “” is the same (see FIG. 40). FIG. 40 (a) shows an example of a lottery value of an identification number including a replay of normal RT (RT1), and FIG. 40 (b) shows an identification number including a replay of advantageous RT (RT2). An example of the lottery value is shown. Also, in this embodiment, in the lottery in the bonus game (BB1), the identification number (see FIG. 22) including the AT allowable combination is not selected, but the identification number including the AT allowable combination is selected by lot. It doesn't matter. However, in this case, even if the type of the RT gaming state and the type of the bonus gaming state are changed, the probability of winning the AT ((sum of the lottery values of the identification numbers including the AT allowable combination) / lottery parameter × 100 [%]) is the same. Therefore, it is preferable that the sum of the lottery values of the identification numbers including the AT permitted combination be the same value even if the type of the RT gaming state and the type of the bonus gaming state are changed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the notification lamp 60c is turned on to notify that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state. However, when the slot machine 1 is in the error state, the first and second slots are notified. Although the 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be turned off, it is preferable to keep the notification lamp 60c lit when the AT is allowed. Further, information indicating that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state may be output from an external terminal to a hall computer or the like.

  By the way, with respect to a winning combination group (hereinafter, referred to as “identification number X”) that does not include “AT allowed winning” and “AT right winning” including the “bonus role”, there is a difference in winning probability depending on the type of the set value. When the lottery value range is set as described above and the configuration is such that “AT right winning” may occur during the bonus game, the identification number X includes “AT right winning”. Although there is no difference, there is a setting difference in whether or not to shift to the bonus game state (whether or not to win the bonus role), so the lottery value of “AT right winning” during the bonus game is set to the same regardless of the set value However, the expected value of "AT right winning" during the bonus game may be different depending on the set value.

  In order to prevent this state, a first bonus state including “AT right winning” and a second bonus state not including “AT right winning” are provided, and a first bonus in which there is no setting difference in winning probability is provided. When the player wins the identification number Y including the winning combination (the lottery value is the same regardless of the type of the set value), the game shifts to the first bonus state including “AT right winning”, and a setting difference is provided in the winning probability. When the player wins the identification number Z including the second bonus combination (the lottery value differs depending on the type of the set value), it is preferable to shift to the second bonus state that does not include the “AT right winning”. With this configuration, since the expected value of the AT right winning does not change depending on the set value, it is possible to provide a gaming machine having more uniform expectations regardless of the set value.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the limiter condition is satisfied by setting the duration of the AT allowable state to 1500 games, and the AT allowable state ends (the AT allowable state ends with the limiter). The condition is not limited to the number of all games played in the AT-permitted state (the number of continuous games in the AT-permitted period). For example, a limiter condition for terminating the AT allowable state may be set based on the number of medals acquired in the AT allowable state after the start of the AT allowable state. Specifically, the limiter condition is satisfied when the number of obtained medals reaches a certain number during the AT allowable period after the start of the AT allowable state, and the AT allowable state is ended (the AT allowable period by the limiter). (End).

  In this case, during the AT allowable period after the start of the AT allowable state, the number of medals obtained by winning each of the winning combinations is counted for all the winning combinations with a medal payout, and the total number of medals is obtained. When the number exceeds a certain number (for example, 3000), the AT allowable state may be ended. On the other hand, for a plurality of specific roles (for example, “push order bell”) that notify the operation mode of the stop switch that is advantageous to the player, only the number of medals obtained by winning each specific role is counted, and the total number of medals is counted. The AT allowable period may be ended when the acquired number exceeds a certain number.

  The total payout number obtained by counting the number of paid out medals may be used as the total obtained number of medals to determine whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied. Whether or not the limiter condition has been established may be determined based on the total number of acquired coins obtained by counting the net number of coins obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals into 25.

  Also, the case where the notification lottery result is notified by one notification display 60 has been described. However, similarly to this notification display 60, a notification display composed of two 7-segment LEDs is separately provided. The notification indicator is used to indicate the advantageous pushing order of the push order bell, and the other notification indicator is used for a predetermined small role (“Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, “Watermelon B”) alone. It may be used to indicate a pushing order at the time of winning and at the same time as these winnings. In this case, when notifying the same pressing order, the notification modes of both notification indicators may be the same. At this time, the notification indicator for the push order bell is "Cherry", "watermelon A", "watermelon B", for example, the periphery of the notification indicator for the push order bell (front panel 9) is decorated. May be configured to be easier to recognize than the notification indicator for the winning combination group including “Cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B”. The notification indicator may be smaller than the notification indicator for the push order bell. In this manner, the result of the lottery lottery notified on the smaller notification indicator is not related to the pushing order bell (winning role group) in which the operation order advantageous to the player is notified during the AT or the like. Can be recognized by the player.

  Further, even if the advantageous pushing order is the same between the pushing order bell (specified role) and the winning combination group including any of “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B”, the notification indicator is provided. The notification mode by 60 may be configured to be different. In this case, the first seven-segment LED 60a that notifies the information that can specify the pressing order is the same notification mode, and the notification mode of the second 7-segment LED 60b indicating the type of the notification mode is changed according to the type of the winning combination group. It is good to do. Also, at this time, the notification order is different in the push order bell, the winning combination group including “Cherry”, the winning combination group including “watermelon A”, and the winning combination group including “watermelon B” (for example, the second seven segments). The LED 60b) may be used, or the winning combination group including “watermelon A” and the winning combination group including “watermelon B” may be in the same notification mode.
