If no winning information is won in the winning information lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a loss. That is, in the winning information lottery, the type of the loss or the winning information is determined. In the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, in the winning information lottery, the probability of winning the 21st winning information is higher than the probability of winning the 11th winning information.

  After determining the winning information, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the main controlling RAM 40c, result display information (such as a flag) capable of specifying a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed based on the determined winning information ( Settings).

  By the way, the main control CPU 40a determines the symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed with the determined winning information by the end of the variable game which is the target of the winning information lottery for which the winning information is determined. Is cleared. In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, there is no result display information that can specify the outlier, and when the result display information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines that the outlier has occurred. It is configured so that it can be specified. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines a symbol combination (display result) that is allowed to be displayed by performing the winning information lottery functions as an allowance determining unit. The lottery result of the winning information lottery corresponds to the content determined by the permission determining means.

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the fluctuating game when a control signal is input from the start lever 22 (after performing predetermined processing such as winning information lottery). Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a variable game start command indicating a lottery result of the winning information lottery and an internal control state in which the variable game is performed to the sub control CPU 41a. The main control CPU 40a receives the control signal from the start lever 22 and starts the rotation of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R in a state where the wait time has elapsed from the end of the immediately preceding fluctuating game. , The reels 13L, 13C, 13R are controlled. Incidentally, the variable game start command to the sub-control CPU 41a can be output at the start of the rotation of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R.

  Subsequently, when a control signal is input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping rotation of the reel corresponding to the control signal. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on the rotation position and the stop position of each reel based on the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each reel. In other words, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation state of each reel during rotation of each reel, and to determine each rotation state when each reel is not rotating (during stop). Is stopped by the main control CPU 40a. Note that the main control CPU 40a does not perform stop control on the rotating reel until a control signal is input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are input, the main control CPU 40a outputs various control signals corresponding to the control signals to the sub-control CPU 41a. The control signals from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R allow the sub-control CPU 41a to know the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, that is, which stop button has been operated and the order in which the stop buttons have been operated. .

Next, the stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (for a maximum of four symbols) from the timing when each of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R is operated based on the winning information that has been won. The symbol combination is stopped and displayed. When stopping the rotating reels, the main control CPU 40a controls the stop control stored in the main control ROM 40b in accordance with the winning information that has been won and the operation order of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R. Control for stopping and displaying the symbol combination is performed based on the control data for the image.

  Even in a situation where the same winning information is won, the main control CPU 40a may perform stop control using different stop control data depending on the operation order of the three stop buttons. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control to stop the rotation of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R as the rotating body functions as stop control means.

  By the way, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, no matter what timing the stop button is operated, all the symbol combinations including the outliers can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 so that the symbols can be stopped and displayed. Are arranged. For this reason, the pachislo 10 does not perform the stop control in consideration of the timing at which the stop button is operated, but may perform the stop control in consideration of the operation timing of the stop button. In such a configuration, the main control CPU 40a performs stop control using stop control data (control information) corresponding to the operation timing of the stop button.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when the rotation of all the reels 13L, 13C, 13R is stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a reads the result display information from the main control RAM 40c, and determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the read result display information is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 from the position signal input with the stop of the rotation of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, and determines the symbol combination. Is determined to be a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed by the result display information.

  In the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a stops at the result display information when the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed by the result display information. The winning of the symbol combination which is allowed to be displayed (winning of the role) is determined. On the other hand, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a determines that the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 is not a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed in the result display information, and the stop display is performed in the result display information. The non-winning of the symbol combination that is allowed to be made (non-winning of the role) is determined.

  Then, when determining a winning of a symbol combination permitted to be stopped and displayed by the result display information in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a prize associated with the symbol combination. When determining the winning of the symbol combination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command for designating the symbol combination determined to be a winning to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  The main control CPU 40a performs control for giving four medals as prize medals when judging a winning at the cherry stop. Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon stop eye, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving six medals as prize medals. When determining the winning of the bell stoppage, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving eight medals as prize medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving one medal as a prize medal when judging the winning of the first winning combination.

  The main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a replay when determining the winning of the normal replay stop eye. In addition, when determining the winning of the special replay stop eye, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a replay. In addition, as the control for giving the replay, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as the variable game in which the winning is determined.

Next, a description will be given of a process related to the variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program.
When various commands such as a variable game start command and a prize winning instruction command are input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a performs display effects of the effect display device 14 and sounds of the speaker Sp so that various effects are executed based on the contents instructed by the commands. The output mode and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La are controlled. When the winning control command is not input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a recognizes that a symbol combination for which no prize is determined is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Further, since the sub control CPU 41a can also grasp the stop status of each of the reels 13L, 13C, 13R, the sub control CPU 41a recognizes that a symbol combination for which a prize is not determined from the stop status is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. it can. Further, the sub-controlling CPU 41a performs control for performing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of effect states are controlled. The effect states include a normal effect state, a standby effect state, and an AT effect state. The AT effect states include a first AT effect state, a second AT effect state, a search effect state, and a confrontation effect state. In various effect states, a display image capable of specifying the effect state during stay (execution) is displayed on the effect display device 14. Therefore, by visually recognizing the display content of the effect display device 14, the current effect state can be specified.

  In the normal effect state, the effect is developed such that it is difficult to win the bell stop. Further, in the AT effect state, the effect is developed so as to assist (assist) winning of the stoppage of the bell. In the present embodiment, the AT effect state is an advantageous state for the player and corresponds to an advantageous gaming state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the normal effect state corresponds to a normal game state.

  Hereinafter, control contents in each effect state will be described. The sub-controlling CPU 41a performs control in each effect state described below, and as a result, performs control so as to shift the effect state in the mode shown in FIG.

First, control contents in the normal effect state will be described.
The sub-controlling CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning information lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 during the control of the normal effect state.

  The sub-controlling CPU 41a is configured to display any symbol combination of the cherry stop and the watermelon stop during the control of the normal effect state, that is, the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information. In case of winning, the AT rush lottery is performed. The AT rush lottery is performed under a winning probability according to the winning information that has been won. In the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, it is easier to win the AT rush lottery when winning the eleventh winning information than when winning the twenty-first winning information.

  In the AT entry lottery, it is determined that the game is to be shifted to the AT effect state when winning. The random number used for the AT entry lottery may be a hardware random number or a software random number.

  Then, when winning the AT lottery, the sub control CPU 41a sets the AT information indicating that the transition to the AT effect state is determined in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub control CPU 41a deletes the AT information from the sub control RAM 41c when the AT effect state ends and the normal effect state is entered. In addition, during the control of the normal effect state, when the AT information is stored and the transition to the AT effect state is determined during the control of the normal effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for shifting from the normal effect state to the standby effect state.

  In addition, during the control of the normal effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs any one of the stop button 23C and the stop button 23R in the fluctuation game in which the stop button 23C or the stop button 23R is not allowed to be operated first. When the stop button is operated first, a penalty is given. The sub-control CPU 41a causes a disadvantage to the player by giving the penalty. In the case where a penalty is given in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, the AT entry lottery is not performed even when the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information is won. It should be noted that, even in the normal effect state, it is preferable that no penalty be given if the stop button 23C or the stop button 23R is operated first during the navigation effect.

Next, control contents in the standby effect state will be described.
The standby effect state is an effect state that is not controlled unless an event that triggers storage of the AT information occurs (for example, an AT entry lottery is won). Therefore, during the control of the standby effect state, the AT information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c.

During the control of the standby effect state, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning information lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.
During the control of the standby effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a allows the special replay stop to be displayed, that is, when the winning of the 41st winning information or the 42nd winning information is instructed, the special replaying is performed. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the stop eye. For example, when the winning of the 41st winning information is instructed during the control of the standby effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a executes the navigation effect for instructing to operate the stop button 23C first among the three stop buttons. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to perform the operation. Then, during the control of the standby effect state, if a special replay stop winning prize is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift from the standby effect state to the AT effect state. When shifting from the standby effect state to the AT effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the transition to one of the first AT effect state and the second AT effect state. Then, when shifting from the standby effect state to the AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift to the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state.

  The sub-control CPU 41a is configured to stop the bell stop when the winning information of any of the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information is instructed during the control of the standby effect state. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button.

Next, control contents in the first AT effect state and the second AT effect state will be described.
During the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning information lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  During the control of the first AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game performed in the first AT effect state in the sub-control RAM 41c. When shifting from the standby effect state to the first AT effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets the first continuation number in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-controlling CPU 41a subtracts (-1) the first continuation number every time the fluctuation game is performed in the first AT effect state and updates it until it becomes "0 (zero)".

  Similarly, during the control of the second AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game performed in the second AT effect state in the sub-control RAM 41c. When shifting from the standby effect state to the second AT effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets the second control count in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-controlling CPU 41a subtracts (−1) the second continuation number every time the fluctuation game is performed in the second AT effect state and updates it until it becomes “0 (zero)”.

  Further, during the control of the first AT effect state, the sub control CPU 41a determines whether the winning information of any of the thirty-second winning information to the thirty-fifth winning information is obtained when the first continuation number is not “0 (zero)”. Is instructed, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop. On the other hand, during the control of the first AT effect state, the sub control CPU 41a determines whether any of the winning information of the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information is obtained when the first continuation number is “0 (zero)”. When the winning is instructed, the navigation effect of navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop is not executed.

  Similarly, during the control of the second AT effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether the winning information of any of the thirty-second winning information to the thirty-fifth winning information is obtained when the second continuation number is not “0 (zero)”. When the winning is instructed, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop. On the other hand, during the control of the second AT effect state, when the second continuation number is “0 (zero)”, the sub-controlling CPU 41a displays any one of the winning information of the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information. When the winning is instructed, the navigation effect of navigating the operation sequence of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop is not executed. As described above, in the first AT effect state and the second AT effect state of the present embodiment, the probability that the bell stop is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is increased by executing the navigation effect.

  Then, during the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether the winning information of any of the thirty-second winning information to the thirty-fifth winning information is instructed, and When the continuation number and the second continuation number are “0 (zero)”, if the prize of the bell stop or the single-sheet stop is not instructed, control is performed to shift to the normal effect state. Incidentally, during the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the winning of any one of the thirty-second winning information to the thirty-fifth winning information is instructed. When the continuation number or the second continuation number is not “0 (zero)” and the prize of the bell stop or the one-sheet stop is not instructed, the controlled AT effect state is continuously controlled. It is to be noted that the case where the winning of any of the winning information from the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information is instructed, and the case where the prize of the bell stop or the one-piece hand stop is not instructed is In this case, the bell spilling eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  In addition, when the winning of the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information is instructed, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether or not to perform “addition” for increasing the first continuation number or the second continuation number. I do. In the additional lottery, it is determined whether or not to perform the additional, and in the case of performing the additional, the “first additional” in which the first continuation number is increased and the “second additional” in which the second continuation number is increased. It is determined that at least one addition is made. Then, the sub control CPU 41a determines the number of times to be added to the first continuation number when performing the first addition, and determines the number of times to be added to the second continuation number when performing the second addition.

  In the following description, the amount (period) by which the first continuation number is increased, that is, the number added to the first continuation number is referred to as the “first additional number”. Further, the amount (period) for increasing the second continuation number, that is, the number added to the second continuation number is referred to as “second additional number of times”. Then, the first addition and the second addition are collectively referred to as “addition”, and the first addition number and the second addition number are collectively referred to as “addition number”. Performing the first addition corresponds to extending the stay period in the first AT effect state. Similarly, performing the second addition corresponds to extending the stay period in the second AT effect state.

  Then, when performing the first addition, the sub-controlling CPU 41a adds the first addition number to the first continuation number and updates the first continuation number. Similarly, when performing the second addition, the sub-controlling CPU 41a updates the second continuation number by adding the second addition number to the second continuation number.

  In addition, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether the stop of the cherry stop or the stop of the watermelon is permitted during the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, that is, the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information. When the winning is instructed, the transition to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state can be determined. By the way, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, when the eleventh winning information is won, the stop of the cherry is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, so that the display of the stop of the cherry is permitted. This corresponds to the eye being stopped and displayed on the pay line L1. Similarly, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, when the 21st winning information is won, the stop of the watermelon is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1, so that the display of the stop of the watermelon is permitted. The stop corresponds to stop display on the pay line L1.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, when the display is in the second AT effect state than in the first AT effect state, even if the display of the watermelon stop or the cherry stop is permitted, the confrontation is performed. The ratio at which the transition to the effect state or the search effect state is determined is high. Further, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, the display of the watermelon stop and the display of the cherry stop are permitted in the second AT production state than in the first AT production state, regardless of whether the display is permitted. Of the confrontation effect state and the search effect state, the ratio at which the transition to the search effect state is determined is high.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the sub control CPU 41a has a probability of "25%" when the winning of the 21st winning information is instructed in the first AT effect state, and the 21st winning state in the second AT effect state. Is determined, the transition to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state is determined with a probability of “50%”. Further, the sub-controlling CPU 41a has a probability of “99%” when deciding to shift to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state when the winning of the 21st winning information is instructed in the first AT effect state. The transition to the confrontation effect state is determined, and the transition to the search effect state is determined with a probability of “1%”. On the other hand, the sub-controlling CPU 41a has a probability of “95%” when deciding to shift to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state when the winning of the 21st winning information is instructed in the second AT effect state. The transition to the confrontation effect state is determined, and the transition to the search effect state is determined with a probability of “5%”.

  The sub control CPU 41a has a probability of "75%" when the winning of the eleventh winning information is instructed in the first AT effect state, and instructs the winning of the eleventh winning information in the second AT effect state. In this case, the transition to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state is determined with a probability of “90%”. Further, the sub-controlling CPU 41a has a probability of “50%” when determining to shift to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state in response to an instruction to win the eleventh winning information in the first AT effect state. The transition to the confrontation effect state is determined, and the transition to the search effect state is determined with a probability of “50%”. On the other hand, the sub-controlling CPU 41a has a probability of “30%” when deciding to shift to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state when the winning of the eleventh winning information is instructed in the second AT effect state. The transition to the confrontation effect state is determined, and the transition to the search effect state is determined with a probability of “70%”.

  Then, when the transition to the confrontation effect state is determined in the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for shifting to the confrontation effect state. Similarly, when determining to shift to the search effect state in the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to shift to the search effect state.

  It should be noted that the sub-control CPU 41a keeps storing the first and second continuation times even when the control for shifting from the first AT effect state to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state is performed. Similarly, the sub-controlling CPU 41a keeps storing the first number of continuations and the second number of continuations even in the case of performing control for shifting from the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state or the search effect state. Incidentally, during the control of the search effect state and the confrontation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a does not subtract the first number of continuations and the second number of continuations even if the variable game is played. Therefore, the first continuation number is not subtracted until the next transition to the first AT effect state. Similarly, the second continuation number is not subtracted until the next transition to the second AT effect state.

  As described above, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a determines whether or not the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information is won during the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state. Performs control related to an additional lottery and control for determining transition to a confrontation effect state or a search effect state.

Next, control contents in the search effect state will be described.
During the control of the search effect state, the sub control CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning information lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  During the control of the search effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game performed in the search effect state in the sub-control RAM 41c. When shifting from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the search effect state, the sub control CPU 41a sets the number of stays in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-controlling CPU 41a subtracts (−1) from the number of stays and updates it until it becomes “0 (zero)” every time the fluctuation game is performed in the search effect state.

  The sub-controlling CPU 41a is configured to stop the bell stop when the winning information of any of the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information is instructed during the control of the search effect state. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the stop button.

  During the control of the search effect state, if the display of the cherry stop or the watermelon stop is permitted, that is, if the winning of the eleventh winning information or the twenty-first winning information is instructed, The transition to the confrontation performance state can be determined.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the winning of the 21st winning information is instructed in the search effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the transition to the confrontation effect state with a probability of “90%”. In addition, when the winning of the eleventh winning information is instructed in the search effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines to shift to the confrontation effect state with a probability of “100%”. As described above, the transition to the confrontation effect state when the display of the watermelon stop or the stop of the cherry is permitted during the control of the search effect state than during the control of the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state. The percentage to be determined is high.

Then, when the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines to shift to the confrontation effect state during the control of the search effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for shifting from the search effect state to the confrontation effect state.
It should be noted that the sub-controlling CPU 41a keeps storing the number of stays even when the control for shifting from the search effect state to the confrontation effect state is performed. Incidentally, the sub-controlling CPU 41a does not subtract the number of stays even if the fluctuation game is performed during the control of the confrontation effect state. Therefore, the number of stays is not subtracted until the next transition to the search effect state.

  In addition, during the control of the search effect state, when the number of stays after subtraction becomes “0 (zero)” during the control of the search effect state, the sub-control CPU 41 a performs control to shift to the confrontation effect state. As described above, when the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)” after the transition to the search effect state, the state shifts to the confrontation effect state. For this reason, when shifting from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the search effect state, the state transitions to the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state via the confrontation effect state.

Next, the control contents in the confrontation effect state will be described.
The sub-controlling CPU 41a performs processing based on the lottery result of the winning information lottery and the instruction of the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 during the control of the confrontation effect state.

  The sub-control CPU 41a is provided with a stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop when any of the winning information of the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information is instructed during the control of the confrontation effect state. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute a navigation effect for navigating the operation sequence of the operation.

  The sub-controlling CPU 41a ends the confrontation effect state when the end condition of the confrontation effect state is satisfied during the control of the confrontation effect state, and selects one of the first AT effect state, the second AT effect state, and the search effect state. The control for shifting to the effect state is performed.

  Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a ends the confrontation effect state when the end condition of the confrontation effect state is satisfied, the number of stays stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”. If the second continuation number is “1 or more”, control is performed to shift to the second AT effect state.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a ends the confrontation effect state when the end condition of the confrontation effect state is satisfied, the number of stays and the second continuation number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c are set to “0 (zero). ) ", Control is performed to shift to the first AT effect state.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a ends the confrontation effect state when the end condition of the confrontation effect state is satisfied, when the number of stays stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “1 or more”, , Control for shifting to the search effect state. As described above, when the state shifts to the confrontation effect state before the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)” in the search effect state, the state shifts to the search effect state again. Therefore, in the search effect state, if the number of stays shifts to the confrontation effect state before the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)”, the state changes to the search effect state again, and at least the number of stays is “0 (zero)”. The transition to the confrontation performance state is triggered again by the fact that

  For this reason, there is more opportunity to shift to the confrontation effect state when transitioning from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state than when transitioning from the search effect state to the confrontation effect state. Easy to be. Furthermore, it is better to shift to the search effect state and then to the confrontation effect state than to shift from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state. The expectation that the period controlled in the 2AT effect state, the search effect state, and the confrontation effect state) will be longer is increased.

  In the present embodiment, in the confrontation effect state corresponding to the specific effect, if the end condition of the confrontation effect state is satisfied, an advantageous result or a disadvantageous result is derived. Then, if an advantageous result is derived in the confrontation effect state, a privilege is given. On the other hand, if an adverse result is derived in the confrontation effect state, no benefit is given.

Hereinafter, based on FIGS. 5A to 5D, the display of the effect display device 14 will be described together with the effect of the effect in the confrontation effect state according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5A, in the confrontation effect state of the present embodiment, an enemy character TC appears on the effect display device 14, and the effect is developed with the content that confronts the enemy character TC. Also, in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 14 displays the hit point HP. The hit point HP reports the amount of damage necessary to win the confrontation with the enemy character TC (hereinafter, referred to as “remaining damage amount”).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the condition for attacking the enemy character TC is satisfied, the enemy character TC is attacked, and the remaining damage amount notified by the hit point HP is reduced. Will be notified.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, the effect is developed with the content of winning the confrontation with the enemy character TC. Then, when winning the confrontation with the enemy character TC, an additional ride is performed. In the present embodiment, the addition is equivalent to the addition of a privilege. Winning a confrontation with the enemy character TC is equivalent to deriving an advantageous result.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5D, if the enemy character attacks before the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, the effect is such that the player loses a confrontation with the enemy character TC. Be expanded. If the player loses the confrontation with the enemy character TC, no extra ride is performed. Defeating the confrontation with the enemy character TC is equivalent to deriving a disadvantageous result.

Here, the end condition of the confrontation effect state will be described.
The end condition of the confrontation effect state includes a first end condition and a second end condition. The first end condition in the confrontation effect state is an end condition that is satisfied when the specific value reaches a specified value. In the present embodiment, the first end condition is satisfied when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”. On the other hand, the second end condition of the confrontation effect state is an end condition that is satisfied when the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by an end lottery for determining the end of the confrontation effect state. In the present embodiment, It is established by winning the internally finished lottery.

  In the confrontation effect state, when a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye, which is a symbol combination for which replay is determined as a prize, is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the damage amount to the enemy character TC, That is, the change amount of the remaining damage amount is selected, and the remaining damage amount decreases. Then, when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, the confrontation effect state ends on the effect display device 14 because the first end condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye corresponds to a specific display result.

  On the other hand, when the normal replay stop or the special replay stop is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 in the confrontation effect state, an end lottery may be performed. Then, when the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by the end lottery, the effect display device 14 ends the confrontation effect state. In the present embodiment, the normal replay stop and the special replay stop correspond to a non-specific display result.

  The confrontation effect state according to the present embodiment ends when one of the first end condition and the second end condition is satisfied. Further, the first termination condition can be satisfied before the second termination condition is satisfied. Similarly, the second end condition can be satisfied before the first end condition is satisfied. Therefore, the first end condition can be satisfied before the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by the end lottery, and the second end condition is that the remaining damage amount is “0 (zero)”. This is an end condition that can be satisfied before reaching.

  Further, in the confrontation effect state of the present embodiment, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC is not determined even if the normal replay stop or the special replay stop is stopped and displayed on the payline L1. For this reason, even if the normal replay stop or the special replay stop is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 14 does not change the remaining damage amount to be notified.

  Further, in the confrontation effect state of the present embodiment, even if a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the end lottery is not performed. Therefore, even if a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 in the confrontation effect state, the effect display device 14 causes the confrontation effect to be triggered by the establishment of the second end condition. Do not end the state.

Hereinafter, processing (control) performed by the sub-control CPU 41a related to the confrontation effect state will be described.
First, a process (control) for determining the type of character to appear as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state will be described.

  When shifting from the AT production state other than the confrontation production state to the confrontation production state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the type of the enemy character to appear as the enemy character TC in the confrontation production state from a plurality of predetermined types of characters. I do. In the present embodiment, the enemy character TC appearing in the confrontation effect state corresponds to the effect contents of the specific effect.

  As shown in FIG. 6, there are five types of characters that can appear as the enemy character TC, a first character to a fifth character. The sub-control CPU 41a determines a character to appear as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state from the five types of characters. Then, in the effect display device 14, a confrontation effect state in which one of a plurality of types of characters appears as the enemy character TC is performed.

  When the sub control CPU 41a shifts from the AT effect state other than the confrontation effect state to the confrontation effect state, and the fifth defeat information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c, the sub character CPU 41a changes the fifth character to the enemy character in the confrontation effect state. Decide to appear as TC. The fifth defeat information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the fifth character has appeared as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state and the confrontation effect state has ended upon the satisfaction of the second end condition. In addition, when the fifth defeat information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c and the remaining damage amount stored at the end of the previous confrontation effect state is stored, the sub control CPU 41a The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to start the confrontation effect state from the amount.

  Incidentally, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether the fifth character has appeared as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state and has won the confrontation with the enemy character, or when the fifth character has transitioned from the AT effect state to the normal effect state, The fifth loss information stored in the control RAM 41c is deleted.

Also, when the fifth defeat information is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC.
The sub-controlling CPU 41a causes the fifth character to appear as the enemy character TC when transitioning from the search effect state to the confrontation effect state, as compared to when transitioning from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state. It is easy to decide. Specifically, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines that the fifth character should appear as the enemy character TC with a probability of “1%” when transitioning from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state. I do. On the other hand, when shifting from the search effect state to the confrontation effect state, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC with a probability of “5%”.

  Then, the CPU 41a for sub-control determines that the fifth character should appear as the enemy character TC by determining whether or not to cause the fifth character to appear as the enemy character TC. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to start the state. In the present embodiment, the same amount of remaining damage is set as the initial value of the amount of remaining damage regardless of which character appears as the enemy character TC.

  If the sub-control CPU 41a does not decide to make the fifth character appear as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not scenario information capable of specifying the decided scenario pattern is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. I do.

  In the scenario pattern, the type of character that appears first as the enemy character TC, and the type and order of characters that appear as the enemy character TC each time the player confronts the enemy character are determined. In the scenario pattern in the present embodiment, the order in which the first to fourth characters excluding the fifth character appear is determined. In addition, the order of characters appearing as enemy characters differs for each scenario pattern.

  For example, in the scenario pattern, if the first character first appears as the enemy character TC, and then the game confronts the first character, the game shifts to the confrontation performance state again (second time). There is a scenario pattern in which a character is determined to appear as an enemy character TC. Such a scenario pattern includes, for example, a case in which the player has won the confrontation with the fourth character and then transitioned to the confrontation effect state again (the third time) and has won the confrontation with the second character. It is determined that the third character should appear as the enemy character TC when the game shifts to the confrontation effect state again (fourth time). Incidentally, the scenario pattern is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b.

  Then, when a scenario pattern is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a scenario pattern. Further, upon determining the scenario pattern, the sub-control CPU 41a stores, in the sub-control RAM 41c, scenario information capable of specifying the scenario pattern. Further, when determining the scenario pattern, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines to cause a character determined to appear first in the scenario pattern to appear as the enemy character TC. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14 so as to start the confrontation effect state from the remaining damage amount that is the initial value.

  When the scenario pattern is determined, until the victory with the enemy character TC appearing for the fourth time defined in the scenario pattern is won, or until the AT production state transitions to the normal production state. The scenario information is stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The scenario information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c so as to specify which enemy character in the determined scenario pattern has appeared.

  On the other hand, when scenario information is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a character to appear as the enemy character TC based on a scenario pattern that can be specified from the scenario information. At this time, when the remaining damage amount stored at the end of the previous confrontation effect state is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the auxiliary control CPU 41a starts the effect display device so as to start the confrontation effect state from the remaining damage amount. 14 is controlled. On the other hand, when the remaining damage amount stored at the end of the previous confrontation effect state is not stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, the sub-control CPU 41a directs the start of the confrontation effect state from the remaining damage amount that is the initial value. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled.

Next, control relating to various effects in the confrontation effect state and control relating to the end condition of the confrontation effect state will be described.
When shifting from the AT effect state other than the confrontation effect state to the confrontation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a restriction period for restricting the establishment of the second end condition. The sub-controlling CPU 41a sets the restriction period according to the type of the character that appears as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect). In the present embodiment, the restriction period is determined by the number of variable games.

  When setting the regulation period determined by the number of variable games, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the number of variable games as the minimum guaranteed number of games in the sub-control RAM 41c. Thereafter, the sub-controlling CPU 41a subtracts (−1) the minimum guaranteed game number each time the variable game is performed in the confrontation effect state and updates the number until the value becomes “0 (zero)”. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a stores the sub-control RAM 41c in the sub-control RAM 41c when ending the confrontation effect state when the first end condition is satisfied before the minimum guaranteed game number reaches “0 (zero)”. Reset the set minimum guaranteed game number (set “0 (zero)”).

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a that sets the restriction period by storing the minimum guaranteed game number in the sub control RAM 41c functions as a restriction period setting unit. In the variable game of the number of times set as the restriction period, the confrontation effect state does not end when the second end condition is satisfied. For this reason, the regulation period is the number of times of the variable game that is guaranteed to be performed in the confrontation effect state, and corresponds to the shortest time during which the confrontation effect state is continued.

  In addition, when the winning of the 41st winning information and the 42nd winning information is instructed in the confrontation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a can perform an end lottery that determines the end of the confrontation effect state corresponding to the specific effect.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the end lottery when the minimum guaranteed game number of the sub-control RAM 41c is “1 or more”, that is, during the restriction period. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an end lottery when the minimum guaranteed game in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, that is, when it is not the restriction period. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an end lottery with a winning probability according to the type of the character to appear as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, winning in the end lottery corresponds to determining the end of the confrontation effect state, and non-winning for the end lottery corresponds to indetermination of the end of the confrontation effect state. Then, in the present embodiment, the sub-controlling CPU 41a that performs an end lottery that determines the end of the confrontation effect state as the specific effect functions as end lottery means.

  In addition, when the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by the end lottery, the second end condition is satisfied, and the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of stays, the first number of times, and the number of stays stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Based on the second continuation number, control is performed to shift to any one of the search effect state, the first AT effect state, and the second AT effect state.

  Further, when the second performance condition is satisfied to end the confrontation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a does not erase the remaining damage amount stored in the sub-control RAM 41c and continues to store the remaining damage amount. At this time, the remaining damage amount that is not erased and stored is a case in which the state transitions to the confrontation state again without transitioning to the normal production state, and the same character appears as the enemy character TC in the next confrontation state. This is the first remaining damage amount.

  Therefore, in the case of shifting to the confrontation effect state many times without shifting to the normal effect state, the remaining damage amount can be gradually reduced over a plurality of confrontation effect states. Therefore, the game can be enjoyed by associating the previous state of the confrontation effect with the previous state of the confrontation effect, as compared with the case where the remaining damage amount is initialized in the state of the one time confrontation effect. In addition, it is possible to increase the expectation and willingness to win the confrontation with the enemy character TC as compared with the case where the remaining damage amount is initialized in the one-on-one confrontation effect state.

  By the way, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines that any one of the first to fourth characters appears as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, and that the fifth character changes the fifth character to the enemy character TC in the next confrontation effect state. When appearing as, the remaining damage amount stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is deleted.

  Further, in the confrontation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a is in a case where the winning of the winning information other than the 41st winning information and the 42nd winning information is instructed, or in a case where no winning of any of the winning information is instructed ( In the case of a loss, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC is selected. The sub control CPU 41a selects the amount of damage to the enemy character TC, that is, the amount of change in the remaining amount of damage, according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute the effect of attacking the enemy character TC with the symbol combination being stopped and displayed. Further, the sub control CPU 41a notifies the hit point HP so as to notify the remaining damage amount after subtracting the damage amount determined as the damage amount to be applied to the enemy character TC from the remaining damage amount stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Is controlled so as to change the display content of the effect display device 14. In other words, the effect display device 14 changes the hit point HP according to the amount of damage given to the enemy character TC selected by the sub-control CPU 41a, and changes the remaining amount of damage to be notified.

  The sub-control CPU 41a confronts the enemy character TC when the remaining damage amount after subtracting the damage amount determined as the damage amount given to the enemy character TC from the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that the effect is developed with the content that wins.

  Further, when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, the sub-controlling CPU 41 a adds the remaining damage amount. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a determines an additional to be performed among the first additional and the second additional. The sub control CPU 41a may decide to perform either the first surcharge or the second surcharge, or may decide to perform either the first surcharge or the second surcharge. is there.

  The sub control CPU 41a determines the first number of times of addition when performing the first addition. In addition, when performing the second addition, the sub control CPU 41a determines the second number of additions. When performing the first addition, the sub-controlling CPU 41a updates the first number of additions by adding the first addition number to the first number of additions, and indicates that the first number of additions has increased. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the effect of the content. Similarly, when performing the second addition, the sub control CPU 41a updates the second continuation number by adding the second addition number to the second continuation number, and also determines that the second continuation number has increased. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the effect of the indicated content.

  When the remaining amount of damage reaches “0 (zero)”, the first end condition is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the confrontation effect state and is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Based on the number of stays, the first number of continuations, and the second number of continuations, control is performed to shift to any one of the search effect state, the first AT effect state, and the second AT effect state.

  In the present embodiment, the remaining damage amount corresponds to a specific value, and the damage amount applied to the enemy character TC corresponds to a change amount of the specific value. In the present embodiment, when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, it corresponds to the specific value reaching the specified value. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the sub-controlling CPU 41a that selects the amount of change of the specific value by selecting the amount of damage to the enemy character TC functions as a change amount selecting unit. Further, the effect display device 14 that changes and displays the hit point HP according to the amount of damage to the enemy character TC selected by the sub-control CPU 41a and changes the remaining amount of damage as a specific value is used as the specific value changing means. Function. In addition, it can be said that the sub control CPU 41a that changes the internal remaining damage amount by subtracting the damage amount applied to the enemy character TC from the remaining damage amount functions as the specific value changing unit in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-controlling CPU 41a that performs addition when the remaining damage amount has reached “0 (zero)” provides a privilege granting unit that grants a privilege when the specific value reaches a specified value. Function as In the present embodiment, the effect display device 14 capable of executing a confrontation effect state as a specific effect functions as a specific effect execution unit. Further, the effect display device 14 that displays the hit point HP to notify the remaining damage amount as a specific value functions as a specific value notifying unit.

Here, based on FIG. 6, a difference when each of the first to fifth characters appears as the enemy character TC will be described.
Hereinafter, the minimum guaranteed number of games when each character appears as the enemy character TC, the winning probability of the end lottery, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC, the probability of performing the second extra, and the tendency of the confrontation effect state will be described. Will also be described.

First, a description will be given of a state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC.
When the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the average number of minimum guaranteed games set when the other character appears as the enemy character TC (in FIG. ) Is determined as the minimum guaranteed game number. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC, an average minimum guarantee game number is set as the minimum guarantee game number as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Tend to be. The “average number of minimum guaranteed games” means the number of times that can be set as the minimum guaranteed game number is neither small nor large, and is not necessarily the average number of times that can be set as the minimum guaranteed game number. It does not mean.

  In addition, when the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines that the winning probability of the end lottery is lower than the winning probability of the end lottery when another character appears as the enemy character TC (in the drawing, “low”). End) under the lottery. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the confrontation effect state can be ended by the establishment of the second end condition, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. And the tendency to showdown is likely to continue.

  In addition, when the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a increases the amount of damage to the enemy character TC when another character appears as the enemy character TC (in the drawing, “more”). ) Is determined as the amount of damage to the enemy character TC. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character, the remaining damage amount tends to reach “0 (zero)” more easily than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. is there.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second addition when winning the confrontation with the first character appearing as the enemy character TC and when winning the confrontation with another character appearing as the enemy character TC. It is determined that the second surcharge is to be performed with a probability lower than the probability of being determined (in the drawing, indicated as “low”). Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character, the second surcharge tends to be less likely to be performed than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Incidentally, when the first character appears as the enemy character TC and wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, a small number of times is easily determined as the number of additions.

  As described above, in the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the probability of winning the end lottery is low, and the amount of damage to the enemy character TC is large, so that the remaining damage amount is “0 (zero)”. There is a high expectation of reaching it. On the other hand, even if the player wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, the advantage of the privilege (the probability of the second addition and the number of additions) is low. In the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the enemy character TC wins and confronts the enemy character TC in a short period (a small number of fluctuation games) due to a large amount of damage to the enemy character TC. There is a high possibility that the production state will end.

  As described above, the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to the specific effect of the effect content in which it is difficult to determine the end of the specific effect by the end lottery. Further, the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect contents in which the amount of change of the specific value tends to be large and the specific value easily reaches the specified value. In addition, the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a privilege with a high degree of advantage is difficult to be provided.

Next, a description will be given of a state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC.
When the second character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-controlling CPU 41a performs a smaller number of times (“small” in the drawing) compared to the minimum guaranteed game number set when another character appears as the enemy character TC. ) Is determined as the minimum guaranteed game number. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum guaranteed number of games tends to be smaller than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC.

  In addition, when the second character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the winning probability of the end lottery when the other character appears as the enemy character TC is higher than the winning probability (“high” in the drawing). End) under the lottery. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC, the confrontation effect state can be terminated by the establishment of the second end condition, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. The tendency to showdown is difficult to continue.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the average amount of damage to the enemy character TC when the second character appears as the enemy character TC, and when the other character appears as the enemy character TC (in the drawing, “medium”). ) Is determined as the amount of damage to the enemy character TC. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character, the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” on average, compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. There is a tendency. The “average amount of damage given to the enemy character TC” means a small or small amount of damage that can be selected as a damage amount given to the enemy character TC, and is not necessarily an enemy character TC. It does not mean the average amount of damage that can be selected as the amount of damage that can be selected as the amount of damage to the TC.

  Also, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second addition when winning the confrontation with the second character appearing as the enemy character TC and when winning the confrontation with another character appearing as the enemy character TC. It is determined that the second addition is performed with an average probability of determination (in the drawing, indicated as “medium”). Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character, the second addition tends to be performed on average compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Incidentally, when the second character appears as the enemy character TC and wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, the average number of times is easily determined as the number of additions. Note that the “average probability” means a probability that is not low or high in a probability of determining to perform the second additional, and is not necessarily an average of a probability of determining that the second additional is performed. It does not mean probability.

  As described above, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum number of guaranteed games is small and the probability of winning the end lottery is high, so that the confrontation effect state tends to end in a short period of time. On the other hand, in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which the first character appears as the enemy character TC, the privilege given when the first character wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC The advantage is high.

  As described above, the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a short period is easily set as the restriction period. In addition, the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which the end of the specific effect is easily determined by the end lottery.

Next, a description will be given of a state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC.
When the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub control CPU 41a increases the number of times (in the drawing, "many") as compared with the minimum guaranteed game number set when another character appears as the enemy character TC. ) Is determined as the minimum guaranteed game number. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the number of minimum guaranteed games tends to be larger than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC.

  Further, when the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the end lottery with a higher winning probability than the end lottery when the other character appears as the enemy character TC. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the confrontation effect state can be ended by the establishment of the second end condition, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. The tendency to showdown is difficult to continue.

  In addition, when the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a gives the enemy character TC an average amount of damage to the enemy character TC when another character appears as the enemy character TC. Determined as the amount of damage to be done. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character, the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” on average compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. There is a tendency.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second addition when winning the confrontation with the third character appearing as the enemy character TC or when winning the confrontation with another character appearing as the enemy character TC. It is determined that the second addition is performed with an average probability of the determination. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character, the second surcharge tends to be performed on average compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Incidentally, when the third character appears as the enemy character TC and wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, the average number of times is easily determined as the number of additions.

  As described above, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum number of guaranteed games is large, but the probability of winning the end lottery is high. After a short period of time, the state of the showdown tends to end. However, in the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum guaranteed number of games is larger than in the confrontation effect state in which the first character and the second character appear as enemy characters. It is easy to give a sense of security over a long period that the state of the confrontation performance continues without losing the confrontation with the enemy character TC after the transition.

  As described above, the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a long period is easily set as the restriction period. In addition, the confrontation effect state in which the third character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which the end of the specific effect is easily determined by the end lottery.

Next, a description will be given of a state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC.
When the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a smaller number of times as the minimum guaranteed game number as compared with the minimum guaranteed game number set when another character appears as the enemy character TC. decide. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the number of minimum guaranteed games tends to be smaller than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC.

  When the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the end lottery with a higher winning probability than the end lottery when another character appears as the enemy character TC. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the confrontation effect state can be ended by the establishment of the second end condition, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. The tendency to showdown is difficult to continue.

  In addition, when the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-controlling CPU 41a reduces the amount of damage to the enemy character TC when another character appears as the enemy character TC (“small” in the drawing). Is easily determined as the amount of damage to the enemy character TC. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character, the remaining damage amount tends to hardly reach “0 (zero)” compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. is there.

  In addition, the sub-controlling CPU 41a performs the second addition when winning the confrontation with the fourth character appearing as the enemy character TC and when winning the confrontation with another character appearing as the enemy character TC. It is determined that the second surcharge is to be performed with a higher probability (in the drawing, “high”) than the probability of the determination. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character, the second surcharge tends to be performed with a higher probability than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Incidentally, when the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC and wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, the average number of times is easily determined as the number of additions.

  As described above, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum number of guaranteed games is small and the probability of winning the end lottery is high, so that the confrontation effect state tends to end in a short period of time. On the other hand, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the bonus given when the second character wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, compared to the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC The advantage is high. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC, the advantage provided when the second character wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC is more advantageous than in the confrontation effect state in which the second character appears as the enemy character TC. While the degree is high, it is difficult to win the remaining damage amount of “0 (zero)”.

  As described above, the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a short period is easily set as the restriction period. In addition, the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which the end of the specific effect is easily determined by the end lottery. Further, the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which the amount of change of the specific value tends to be small. In addition, the confrontation effect state in which the fourth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a highly advantageous privilege is easily given.

Next, a description will be given of a confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC.
When the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-controlling CPU 41a sets a larger number of times as the minimum guaranteed game number as compared with the minimum guaranteed game number set when another character appears as the enemy character TC. decide. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum guaranteed number of games tends to be larger than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC.

  In addition, when the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines that the winning probability of the end lottery when the other character appears as the enemy character TC is extremely lower than the winning probability (in FIG. ")). Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the confrontation effect state can be ended by the establishment of the second end condition, as compared with the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Character is extremely low, and the state of the showdown tends to continue easily.

  When the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a gives the enemy character TC a smaller amount of damage than the amount of damage to the enemy character TC when another character appears as the enemy character TC. It is easy to determine as the damage amount. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character, the remaining damage amount tends to hardly reach “0 (zero)” compared to the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. is there.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the second addition when winning the confrontation with the fifth character appearing as the enemy character TC and when winning the confrontation with another character appearing as the enemy character TC. It is determined that the second addition is performed with a higher probability than the determination. Therefore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character, the second surcharge tends to be performed with a higher probability than in the confrontation effect state in which another character appears as the enemy character TC. Incidentally, when the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC and wins the confrontation with the enemy character TC, a large number of times is likely to be determined as the number of additions.

  Thus, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the minimum number of guaranteed games is long, and the probability of winning the end lottery is extremely low. Furthermore, in the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC, the amount of damage given to the enemy character TC is small, and thus the confrontation effect state tends to continue for a long time. When the confrontation effect state continues for a long time, the number of times of the variable game in the AT effect state increases, which corresponds to the advantageous state continuing for a long time. Therefore, it can be said that the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC is more advantageous for the player than the confrontation effect condition in which another character appears as the enemy character TC.

  As described above, the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a long period is easily set as the restriction period. In addition, the state of the confrontation effect in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which it is difficult to determine the end of the specific effect by the end lottery. Further, the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect contents in which the amount of change of the specific value is likely to be small and the specific value is difficult to reach the specified value. Further, the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character appears as the enemy character TC corresponds to a specific effect of the effect content in which a privilege with high advantage is easily given.

  In the pachislot 10, the probability of the second addition is different depending on the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect). In particular, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, when the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character advantageous to the player appears as the enemy character TC ends when the first end condition is satisfied, the other characters are not enemy. The second surcharge is more likely to be performed than when the confrontation effect state appearing as the character TC ends when the first end condition is satisfied.

  In the pachislot 10, the number of times determined as the number of additions is large, that is, the number of additions is large (or the number of times is small) in accordance with the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the production content of the specific effect). ) Are determined at different rates. In particular, in the pachislo 10 of the present embodiment, when the confrontation effect state in which the fifth character advantageous to the player appears as the enemy character TC ends when the first end condition is satisfied, the other characters are not enemy. It is easier to determine the additional number of times as compared with the case where the confrontation effect state appearing as the character TC ends when the first end condition is satisfied.

  Incidentally, when determining the minimum guaranteed game number (restriction period), the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the minimum guaranteed game number with a probability according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state. Therefore, when determining the minimum guaranteed game number, the sub control CPU 41a determines how the minimum guaranteed game number is determined when a character other than the character appearing as the enemy character TC appears in the confrontation effect state as the enemy character TC. It does not mean that the minimum number of guaranteed games is determined by referring to whether or not to play.

  Similarly, when performing the end lottery, the sub control CPU 41a performs the end lottery with a winning probability according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state. Therefore, when performing the end lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the winning probability of the end lottery when a character other than the character appearing as the enemy character TC appears as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, and then performs the end lottery. Do not do.

  In addition, when selecting the amount of damage to be given to the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the amount of damage to be given to the enemy character TC with a probability according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state. Therefore, when selecting the amount of damage to be given to the enemy character TC, the sub-control CPU 41a determines how the enemy character TC when a character other than the character appearing as the enemy character TC appears as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state. The selection of the amount of damage to the enemy character TC is not performed after referring to whether to select the amount of damage to the enemy character TC.

  Further, when determining whether or not to perform the second additional game, the sub-control CPU 41a determines to perform the second additional game with a probability corresponding to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state. I do. Therefore, when a character other than the character appearing as the enemy character TC appears as the enemy character TC, whether or not to perform the second surcharge is determined by referring to the probability of determining to perform the second surcharge. Is not determined. Similarly, when determining the number of additions, the sub control CPU 41a determines the number of additions according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state.

Here, based on FIG. 7, the flow of the game when the first end condition is satisfied and the flow of the game when the second end condition is satisfied in the confrontation effect state of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, since the end lottery is not performed during the period in which the regulation period is set after the transition to the confrontation effect state, that is, until the fluctuation game of the minimum guaranteed game number is performed, the second lottery is performed. The termination condition is not satisfied. On the other hand, even when the restriction period is set, the first termination condition may be satisfied when the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”.

  Also, after the restricted period has elapsed since the transition to the confrontation effect state (in the drawing, indicated as "non-restricted period"), that is, after the minimum number of games fluctuating game has been played, the first termination condition is set. And the second end condition can be satisfied.

  Further, when the first end condition is satisfied and the confrontation effect state ends, an additional ride is performed. On the other hand, if the second end condition is satisfied and the confrontation effect state ends, no additional ride is performed.

  Also, regardless of which of the first end condition and the second end condition is satisfied in the confrontation effect state, after the confrontation effect state ends, an AT effect state other than the confrontation effect state (for example, To the search effect state).

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The confrontation state as a specific effect is a first end condition that can be satisfied when the remaining damage amount corresponding to the specific value reaches a specified value “0 (zero)”, and a confrontation by an end lottery. The process ends when at least one of the second end condition that can be satisfied by determining the end of the effect state and the second end condition is satisfied. When the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, an additional ride is performed (a privilege is given).

  With this configuration, the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” before the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by the end lottery and the second end condition is satisfied, and the first end is performed. By satisfying the conditions, it is possible to create a playability in which an addition is performed (a privilege is given), entertain the player under the playability, and improve the interest.

  In particular, since the establishment of the second end condition is determined by the end lottery, the remaining damage amount approaches “0 (zero)” while giving a sense of danger to the establishment of the second end condition. Under the playability in which the amount of damage or the amount of remaining damage reaches “0 (zero)”, the player can be entertained and the interest can be improved.

  (2) When the symbol combination (specific display result) other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed, the effect display device 14 changes and displays the remaining damage amount corresponding to the specific value. On the other hand, when the normal replay stop eye or the special replay stop eye (non-specific display result) is stopped and displayed, the effect display device 14 displays the remaining damage amount without changing. Further, when a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop eye and the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed, the effect display device 14 does not end the confrontation effect state as the specific effect when the second end condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when the stoppage of the normal replay or the stoppage of the special replay is stopped, the effect display device 14 ends the confrontation effect state when the second end condition is satisfied.

  For this reason, it can be made to pay attention to whether the normal replay stop eye or the special replay stop eye is stopped and displayed, to entertain the game, and to improve the interest. In particular, when a symbol combination other than the normal replay stop and the special replay stop is stopped and displayed, the player can enjoy the game by paying attention to how much the remaining damage changes. On the other hand, when the stop of the normal replay or the stop of the special replay is stopped and displayed, the player can enjoy the game by paying attention to whether or not the confrontation effect state continues.

  (3) Probability that the end of the confrontation production state is determined by the end lottery in accordance with the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation production state (the production contents of the specific production), that is, the second end condition is satisfied. Different rates. Thereby, what kind of character appears as the enemy character TC can be enjoyed, and the game can be enjoyed.

  For example, in a confrontation effect state in which a character having a high winning probability in the end lottery appears as the enemy character TC, the remaining damage amount as a specific value reaches “0 (zero)” corresponding to a specified value, and the first end condition is satisfied. It is possible to increase the sense of danger that the second end condition is satisfied before the condition is satisfied. On the other hand, in a confrontation effect state in which a character having a low winning probability in the ending condition appears as the enemy character TC, before the second ending condition is satisfied, the remaining damage amount as the specific value is “0” corresponding to the specified value. (Zero) "and the expectation that the first termination condition is satisfied can be increased.

  In this way, it is possible to change the feelings of the player according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, entertain the game under different playability, and improve the interest. In addition, by creating different game characteristics depending on the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored with the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (4) The damage amount to the enemy character TC, that is, the remaining damage amount corresponding to the specific value, under the selection rate according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect) The amount of change is selected. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to what kind of character appears as the enemy character TC, and to improve the interest.

  For example, when a character in which a small amount of damage (a small amount of change in the remaining amount of damage) is likely to be selected as the amount of damage to the enemy character TC appears as the enemy character TC, the remaining amount of damage is “0 (zero)”. , And the sense of crisis that the second end condition is satisfied before the first end condition is satisfied can be increased. On the other hand, when a character whose damage amount to the enemy character TC is large (a large change amount as a change amount of the remaining damage amount) is likely to be selected as the enemy character TC, the second end condition is not satisfied. Also, the expectation that the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” before and the first termination condition is satisfied can be increased.

  In this way, it is possible to change the feelings of the player according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, entertain the game under different playability, and improve the interest. In addition, by creating different game characteristics depending on the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored with the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (5) A restriction period is set in accordance with the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect). For this reason, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to what kind of character appears as the enemy character TC, and to improve the interest.

  For example, when a character in which a short restriction period is likely to be set (or is set) appears as the enemy character TC, the remaining damage amount corresponding to the specific value reaches the prescribed “0 (zero)”, and It is possible to increase the sense of crisis that the second end condition is satisfied before the first end condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when a character in which a long restriction period is likely to be set (or is set) appears as the enemy character TC, the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” before the second end condition is satisfied. Thus, the expectation that the first termination condition is satisfied can be increased.

  In this way, it is possible to change the feelings of the player according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, entertain the game under different playability, and improve the interest. In addition, by creating different game characteristics depending on the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored with the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (6) When the remaining damage amount has reached “0 (zero)”, that is, when the specific value has reached the specified value, the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect) A second addition is performed with a corresponding probability (an advantageous privilege is given). For this reason, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to what kind of character appears as the enemy character TC, and to improve the interest.

  For example, when a character with a higher rate of second addition appears as an enemy character TC, the remaining damage amount is smaller than when a character with a lower rate of second addition appears as the enemy character TC. Motivation to reach “0 (zero)” can be increased. Further, even when a character with a low rate of second addition appears as the enemy character TC, the first ending condition is smaller than that in a case where a character with a high rate of second addition appears as the enemy character TC. When it is easy to achieve, it is possible to suppress a decrease in willingness to reach the remaining damage amount of “0 (zero)”.

  In this way, it is possible to change the feelings of the player according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, entertain the game under different playability, and improve the interest. In addition, by creating different game characteristics depending on the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored with the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (7) When the remaining damage amount has reached “0 (zero)”, that is, when the specific value has reached the specified value, the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation production state (the production content of the specific production) The number of additions (advantage of the privilege) is determined accordingly. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the game by paying attention to what kind of character appears as the enemy character TC, and to improve the interest.

  For example, when a character having a high ratio of determining the number of times of addition is high appears as the enemy character TC, a character having a low ratio of determining the number of times of addition is low is appearing as the enemy character TC. The willingness to make the remaining damage amount reach “0 (zero)” can be increased. Even in the case where a character having a low rate of determining the number of additional times appears as the enemy character TC, the first ending is performed as compared with a case where a character having a high rate of determining the number of additional times is high appears as the enemy character TC. When the condition is easily satisfied, it is possible to suppress a decrease in willingness to make the remaining damage amount reach “0 (zero)”.

  In this way, it is possible to change the feelings of the player according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, entertain the game under different playability, and improve the interest. In addition, by creating different game characteristics depending on the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bored with the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (8) Generally, when a re-game is awarded, there is a high possibility that the same player as the player who performed the fluctuating game that triggered the re-game will continue to play the next fluctuating game. It is assumed that Therefore, a symbol combination corresponding to a non-specific display result stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 when the second end condition is satisfied is a symbol combination in which replay is determined as a prize (a normal replay stop point and a special Replay stopped). Thereby, in the situation where the confrontation effect state as the specific effect ends without the privilege being provided due to the establishment of the second end condition, the replay is provided. In this way, if an effect that is assumed to be shown to the player who has satisfied the second end condition is performed in the variable game next to the variable game that triggered the establishment of the second end condition, the effect is assumed It is more likely to be shown to a player who has played. As described above, the re-game is given in the fluctuating game which is a trigger for the establishment of the second end condition, so that the possibility that the player can be entertained as expected by the designer is increased, and the game is effectively performed. Enhancement of interest can be achieved.

  (9) When the confrontation effect state as a specific effect ends when the second end condition is satisfied, the remaining damage amount as a specific value is stored and held when the confrontation effect state is performed again. It was configured so that the confrontation performance state is performed from the remaining damage amount. This makes it possible to gradually reduce the remaining damage amount over a plurality of confrontation effect states, that is, to bring the specific value closer to the specified value. Therefore, the game can be enjoyed by associating the previous state of the confrontation effect with the previous state of the confrontation effect, as compared with the case where the remaining damage amount is initialized in the state of the one time confrontation effect. In addition, the expectation and the motivation for the remaining damage amount to reach the specified value “0 (zero)” are increased as compared with the case where the remaining damage amount is initialized in the one-on-one showdown state. be able to.

  (10) By setting a restriction period for restricting the establishment of the second end condition, a predetermined period (before the game of the minimum guaranteed number of games is performed) from the transition to the confrontation effect state as the specific effect is performed. It can be configured that the confrontation effect state does not end when the second end condition is satisfied. Thus, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to the end of the confrontation effect state in a short period of time despite the transition to the confrontation effect state.

  (11) In some cases, the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state is directly shifted to the confrontation effect state, or after the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state is shifted to the search effect state, the transition is made to the confrontation effect state. In some cases. Further, when the state shifts to the search effect state, the state shifts to the confrontation effect state when at least the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)”. Also, in the case where the state has shifted to the search effect state, when the number of stays shifts to the confrontation effect state before the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)”, the search effect is again performed after the end of the confrontation effect state. State, and at least when the number of stays becomes “0 (zero)”, it can be expected that the state will again shift to the confrontation effect state. On the other hand, when the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state is directly shifted to the confrontation effect state, when the confrontation effect state ends, the state transitions to the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state.

  As a result, there is more opportunity to shift to the confrontation effect state when transitioning from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state than when shifting to the search effect state. It is possible to have a playability that it is easy to become. Furthermore, it is better to shift to the search effect state and then to the confrontation effect state than to shift from the first AT effect state or the second AT effect state to the confrontation effect state. It is possible to have a game property that the expectation that the period controlled in the 2AT effect state, the search effect state, and the confrontation effect state becomes longer is increased. As described above, by giving various playability before shifting to the confrontation effect state (until the specific effect is executed), it is possible to improve interest in the game until shifting to the confrontation effect state. it can.

  (12) The same amount of remaining damage is set as the initial amount of remaining damage, regardless of which character appears as the enemy character TC. For this reason, when the remaining amount of damage that becomes the initial value differs depending on the character that appears as the enemy character TC, it is necessary to specify the type of the character that appears as the enemy character TC before setting the remaining damage amount. Since such control need not be performed, the control can be simplified.

  Further, even when the same remaining damage amount is set, the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)” by changing the damage amount applied to the enemy character TC according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC. The number of times of the changing game required before (the number of times of the changing game required until the specific value reaches the specified value) can be made different. Thereby, it is possible to improve the interest while simplifying the control.

The above embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-In addition to the 1st end condition and the 2nd end condition in the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a confrontation effect state (specific effect) may be ended by another end condition. Examples of the other ending condition include, for example, an ending condition that is established when a variable game is performed a predetermined number of times in a confrontation effect state, and a predetermined display result (for example, the first winning combination stop). May be considered as an end condition that is satisfied when the is displayed. The upper limit number may be a predetermined number or a number determined by lottery. In addition, when the predetermined display result is the one-page winning combination, the one-page winning combination may be displayed when the 32nd winning information to the 35th winning information are won. Alternatively, the effect of notifying that the end condition may be satisfied may be performed by the suggested effect executing unit (for example, the effect display device 14). Then, the navigation effect of navigating the operation order of the stop button for stopping and displaying the bell stop eye may not be performed, and the player may think about the order in which the stop button is operated. . In this case, it is possible to entertain the game under the playability in which the establishment of the end condition is determined by the player's own selection.

  In the end lottery in the above embodiment, the end of the confrontation effect state (specific effect) is determined by winning, but the end of the confrontation effect state is determined by not winning the end lottery. May be configured. In this case, in the end lottery, it can be said that it is determined whether to continue the confrontation effect state.

  In the above embodiment, the type of character that can appear as the enemy character TC may be changed. For example, the configuration may be such that all or only a part of the first to fourth characters can appear as the enemy character TC without causing the fifth character to appear. In addition, the types of characters that can appear as the enemy characters TC may be increased. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which characters having the same or different tendencies as the first to fifth characters can appear as enemy characters TC.

  In the above embodiment, the control for performing the end lottery and the control for determining the amount of damage to the enemy character TC are performed in accordance with the symbol combination displayed on the see-through window 16 (especially on the winning line L1) as the result display unit. It may be configured as follows.

  In the above embodiment, the regulation period need not be determined by the number of times of the variable game, and may be, for example, a period until a predetermined display result (for example, a bell stop) is stopped and displayed. At this time, by changing the display result corresponding to the predetermined display result according to the type of the character appearing as the enemy character TC, it is also possible to adjust the length of the restriction period according to the probability that the display result is derived. It is possible. In addition, the regulation period may be defined by time, a period until a predetermined display result is displayed a predetermined number of times, or a period until a predetermined display result is continuously displayed a predetermined number of times.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to set the regulation period for regulating the establishment of the second end condition. That is, the second end condition may be established from the first (first) change game in the confrontation effect state as the specific effect. In the case of such a configuration, from the first fluctuating game after the transition to the confrontation effect state, a sense of danger is felt that the confrontation effect state ends when the second end condition is satisfied, You can entertain the game.

  -If the end lottery is configured to be performed in the restriction period of the above embodiment, and the confrontation effect state (specific effect) is not ended by the lottery result of the end lottery, the end lottery is performed in the restriction period as in the above embodiment. It is possible to regulate the establishment of the second termination condition.

  -While the end lottery is configured to be performed in the restriction period of the above embodiment, the probability that the end of the confrontation effect state (specific effect) is determined by the end lottery in the restriction period is higher than in the non-restriction period. May be lower. In this case, the regulation period according to the above-described embodiment can also be referred to as a suppression period for suppressing establishment of the second end condition.

  -In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to notify the remaining damage amount as a specific value. In such a configuration, it is difficult to grasp the amount of damage required until the remaining damage reaches “0 (zero)”. Therefore, the player can expect that the remaining damage amount reaches “0 (zero)”, that is, the specific value reaches the specified value, regardless of the value of the remaining damage amount.

  In the above embodiment, the remaining damage amount stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is deleted even if a character different from the character that appeared as the enemy character TC in the previous confrontation effect state appears as the enemy character TC. It may be configured not to be performed. For example, you may comprise so that it may memorize | store and hold until it changes to a normal effect state.

  In the confrontation effect state as the specific effect of the above embodiment, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC (the amount of change in the remaining amount of damage) only when the symbol combination in which the prize is determined is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. May be selected. For example, in the confrontation effect state, if the bell stop is stopped and displayed in the symbol combination in which the prize is determined, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC may be selected. Other than the bell stop, a cherry stop or a watermelon stop may be used. Further, in the confrontation effect state, the amount of damage to be applied to the enemy character TC is selected only when a symbol combination for which a prize has not been determined (a loss stop) is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Is also good.

  -In the confrontation effect state as the specific effect of the above embodiment, the amount of damage to the enemy character TC, that is, the amount of change in the remaining amount of damage, is selected according to the type of the symbol combination stopped and displayed. Is also good. For example, in the confrontation effect state in which the same character appears as the enemy character TC, when the stop of the cherry is stopped and displayed, the amount of damage given to the enemy character TC is larger than when the stop of the watermelon is stopped and displayed. May be configured to be easily determined. In this case, the degree of attention as to what symbol combination is displayed in the fluctuating game in the confrontation effect state can be further increased, and the game can be enjoyed.

In the above embodiment, the types of characters appearing as the enemy characters TC need not be a plurality of types. That is, the effect content of the specific effect may be one type.
In the above embodiment, the specific value is subtracted to reach the specified value. However, the specific value may be added to reach the specified value. For example, it is configured such that a special effect is developed with the content of the character acquiring the item, a privilege is given when the number of the acquired items reaches a specified number, and the first end condition is satisfied. Is also good. In this case, the number of items acquired by the character corresponds to the specific value, and the specified number corresponds to the specified number. Then, the number of items obtained by the character corresponds to the amount of change in the specific value.

  In the above embodiment, when determining the minimum guaranteed game number, the minimum guaranteed game number may be selected and determined from a plurality of games, or a predetermined number may be determined as the minimum guaranteed game number. May be configured. Further, the determination of the minimum guaranteed game number (regulation period) does not have to be changed according to the character appearing as the enemy character TC in the confrontation effect state (the effect content of the specific effect). That is, no matter which character appears as the enemy character TC, the method of determining the minimum security game may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, when performing the end lottery, a winning probability of the end lottery may be selected from a plurality of winning probabilities, and the end lottery may be performed under the selected winning probability.
