  The condition device number 11 is a condition device in which the small win 18 alone wins internally. In this condition apparatus, a small prize 18 (bell) is won.

  The operating conditions (here, the order of pushing, hereafter the order of pushing the correct answer) for winning a bell (small wins 18, 19) are defined for the condition device numbers 8 to 10, respectively. In the following description, the condition device numbers 8 to 10 may be collectively referred to as a pressing order bell. In the case where the condition device numbers 8 to 10 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the pushing order of the correct answers, a bell (small role 18, 19) is won. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the pressing order of the correct answers, one winning combination (small wins 6 to 17) other than the bell (small wins 18 and 19) is stopped preferentially. In the above configuration, if the stop operation does not match the order of correct answers, there may be a deviation. However, for example, if the stop operation does not match the order of correct answers, for example, the above-mentioned one-sheet role always wins. It may be configured to always win a certain role.

<Type of game state>
Next, the types of gaming states of the slot machine 100 and their transitions will be described. FIG. 9 is a transition diagram of the gaming state of the slot machine 100.

  The slot machine 100 is configured to be able to switch between a plurality of types of gaming states having different advantages, that is, a normal state, a chance zone (sometimes referred to as CZ), an AT state, and a specialization zone. By changing the state, the degree of advantage is changed and the interest of the game is improved.

  FIG. 9 shows the above-described four game states, and the transition conditions are described on arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is satisfied, the game state transitions in the direction of the arrow.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lottery table of the internal winning combination in the case of the set value 1 and the set value 6. In this figure, the vertical axis represents the condition device number of the internal winning combination (condition device), and the horizontal axis represents the set value. The set value and the lottery value (range of the lottery data range) corresponding to the internal winning combination are shown. Size) is shown. Note that these lottery values are common to the above-described four game states. If the condition device is not internally won in the game, a loss occurs, and the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is not displayed. In addition, the case where the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped in the winning line may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, the fact that a role has not been won may be expressed as "was lost".

  In the gaming state described below, the internal winning probability of the hand is calculated from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 by the numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each hand, and the random number value acquired at the time of the internal lottery. Is obtained by dividing by numerical data (for example, 65536) in the range of. For example, in the setting value 1, the lottery value of the common bell (small win 18) of the condition device number 11 is 1200, and the winning probability is 1200/65536 ≒ 1.83%.

  Regarding the difference in the internal winning probabilities, the higher the set value, the higher the advantage tends to be. More specifically, the payout rate of setting 1 to setting 3 (expected value of the number of medals to be paid out per game ÷ the number of medals used per game × 100) is less than 100%, and setting 4 to setting 6 Is higher than 100%. That is, the settings 4 to 6 are set values that are advantageous for the player.

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

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

<Normal state>
The normal state is the most disadvantageous game state for the player. In the normal state, if a state B described later is set, pt can be acquired in accordance with the progress of the game, and the accumulated acquisition pt increases (step S1209 in FIG. 15). When this total acquisition pt becomes 1000 pt or more, chance zone shift lottery and AT direct hit lottery are executed in exchange for 1000 pt (step S1215 in FIG. 15). FIG. 9 shows that when the chance zone shift lottery is won in the normal state, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B05 in FIG. 23). Further, it is shown that when the player wins the direct hit lottery in the normal state, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (E) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B01 in FIG. 23). In addition, it is shown that the game shifts to the chance zone when the number of chance zone shift games set in the normal state elapses (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B09 in FIG. 23). As the number of games shifted to the chance zone, a value (step S1013 in FIG. 12) set when a lottery in state B described below is won in the normal state is used.

<Chance zone (CZ)>
The chance zone is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to benefit than in the normal state and is more advantageous than the normal state. In this chance zone, when the inside of the pushing order bell (condition device number 8 to 10) is internally won, a notification of the corresponding correct stop operation sequence (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as operation navigation) is displayed (FIG. Step S1505 of FIG. 21 and Step S3005 of FIG. 30). The operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may be the one indicating the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as “Aim for... May be indicated. In the following description, the operation navigation for the pressing order bell may be referred to as bell navigation. Note that, unlike the present embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which the correct pressing order is displayed in 50% of the winning conditions in the pressing order bell during the CZ. In this case, while it is difficult to obtain a profit (is disadvantageous) than in the AT state, it is possible to make the player more advantageous than the normal state.

  When the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, if the remaining number of CZ games is not 0, the corresponding condition device is internally won to shift the gaming state to the AT state (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 24 or in step S1C03 in FIG. 24). Yes). Further, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 in a state where the AT lottery has been won, the gaming state shifts to the AT state regardless of the result of the internal win (even if the corresponding condition device has not been internally won). (Yes in step S1C09 in FIG. 24). On the other hand, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 without winning the AT lottery, the gaming state shifts to the normal state (No in step S1C09 in FIG. 24). In FIG. 9, when an AT lottery is won in the chance zone, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (C) in FIG. 9, FIG. 9), and when no win is made, the state shifts to a normal state (arrow (B) in FIG. 9). It has been shown.

<AT state>
The AT state is an advantageous state for the player along with the chance zone and the specialization zone. In this AT state, similarly to the chance zone, the operation navigation corresponding to each of the pressing order bells (condition device numbers 8 to 10) is displayed when the inside is won, and an advantageous state in which the player can easily gain profit is obtained. (Step S1505 in FIG. 21 and Step S3005 in FIG. 30). This AT state is managed by the number of remaining AT games, but the number of remaining AT games may be added by lottery (steps S1403 and S1405 in FIG. 19A). Further, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the number of remaining AT games is added by clearing a conditional addition described later (set in step S1409 in FIG. 19A) (step S1D03 in FIG. 23A). .

  Furthermore, in the state where the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 19A) is won in the AT state and the blue 7 right is acquired, the corresponding condition device is internally won to change the gaming state to the special zone. The process proceeds (step S1D11 in FIG. 25A). In FIG. 9, in the AT state, when the special zone shift lottery is won and the condition devices 2 to 4 are internally won, the process shifts to the special zone (arrow (F) in FIG. 9), and the AT end condition (for example, When the number of remaining AT games is 0, the state shifts to the normal state (arrow (D) in FIG. 9, and Yes in step S1D13 in FIG. 25A).

<Specialized zone>
The specialization zone is in a state advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the AT state. In this specialization zone, similarly to the chance zone and the AT state, when the inside of the pushing order bell (condition device number 8 to 10) is internally won, an operation navigation corresponding to each is displayed, and it is advantageous that the player can easily obtain a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 21 and Step S3005 in FIG. 30). In this specialized zone, the number of remaining AT games is not subtracted. Further, the number of remaining AT games may be added (steps S1423 and S1425 in FIG. 19B).

  FIG. 9 shows a transition to the AT state when the specialization zone end condition (for example, the specified number of games (20 games in this embodiment) elapses) is satisfied in the specialization zone (arrow (G) in FIG. 9, FIG. 25). (Step S1D25) of (b) is shown. If the number of remaining AT games is 0 at the end of the specialization zone, the AT state is ended and the normal state is entered (step S1D27 in FIG. 25B).

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the current state is managed separately in a state A and a state B, separately from the four gaming states described above. The state A is a state at the start of the normal state, and when the transition lottery of the state B is won, the state B is set (step S1003 in FIG. 12). When the state B is set, initialization such as setting the number of CZ shift games for shifting to the chance zone is performed (Yes in step S1005 in FIG. 12), and the pt can be acquired (step S1005). (No in step S1001 in FIG. 12). That is, while the state A is set in the normal state, the game state cannot be shifted to a game state other than the normal state, and when the state B is set, the game state can be shifted to a game state other than the normal state. When returning to the normal state again, the state A is set (step S1C11 in FIG. 24, step S1D15 in FIG. 25A, step S1D27 in FIG. 25B, and step S1E21 in FIG. 26). In the state B, notification of the stop operation order (operation navigation) for the internally won combination may be executed, and in the state A, the operation navigation is not displayed.

  As described above, when the state B is set, the state can be shifted to a state advantageous to the player. However, if the state B continues for a long time, an excessive profit is obtained. There is a risk that gambling may be fueled by gaining profits. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation, the following two conditions are separately provided as end conditions of the state B. The first case is that the state B has continued for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games), and this is managed using the number of games that can be continued in the state B (step S1E09 in FIG. 26). If No is determined in step S1E03 of the next game, the determination becomes Yes and the state shifts to state A). The second case is a case where a predetermined number of medals (for example, 2400 medals) are obtained from the time when the net increase is the lowest, and this is managed using the MY counter (FIG. 27A). When the determination is Yes in step S1F21, the determination becomes Yes in step S1E03 immediately after that, and the state shifts to state A).

  In this embodiment, the state A and the state B are distinguished by using the state B flag. If the state B flag is off, the state A is indicated, and if the state B flag is on, the state B is indicated.

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

<Main control unit main processing>
First, the main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control section main processing.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which the start signal has been input is reset-started by a reset interrupt, and executes a main control unit main process shown in FIG. 11 according to a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are performed in step S101. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to a stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of inhibition of interrupt, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, permission of operation to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set values, etc.

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

  In step S105, a winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read, and an internal lottery (lottery of a combination) is performed using this and the random number value obtained from the random value generation circuit 316 to determine an internal winning combination. As a result of the internal lottery, when one of the winning combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the flag of the winning combination is turned on.

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

  In step S109, a game start state process is executed. Here, processing corresponding to each game state and processing relating to display of the operation navigation are performed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S111, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted in a timer update process described later) is 0, and an initial value is set in the game interval timer. In addition, when the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started, preparation is made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400. Thereafter, when the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, detect the optical sensor provided on each reel, and grasp the symbol position of each reel, the stop operation on the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. In addition, the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in this embodiment) is secured by the above-mentioned game interval counter, and gambling is suppressed.

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

  In step S115, a winning determination process is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "bell-bell-bell" is on the activated pay line, it is determined that a bell (small role 23) has been won. After determining the winning combination, preparations are made to transmit a winning command to the first sub-control unit 400.

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

  In step S119, a game state update process is performed. Here, based on the result of the game, preparation for starting and ending the state B, and updating of the status related to the state B are performed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103 and the above-described processing is repeated, whereby the game proceeds.

  Next, the details of the game start state process (step S109) in the main control unit main process of FIG. 11 will be described using FIG. The figure is a flowchart of the game start state process (step S109) in FIG.

  First, in step S1001, which is executed first, it is determined whether the state B flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1003; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1021.

  In step S1003, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to state B based on the internally won combination.

  In step S1005, it is determined whether the lottery in step S1003 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1007; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1031.

  In step S1007, the state B flag is set to ON, and the number of games in which state B can be continued is set. Here, the number of games in which the state B can be continued is a value that defines the number of games in which the state B can be continued, and the state B is not maintained beyond this value. In the present embodiment, 1500 is set as this value, but another constant may be used, and the value is not limited to the constant and may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values.

  In step S1009, the value of the MY counter is initialized, and the flow advances to step S1011.

  In step S1011, the mode is set with reference to the table of FIG. In the present embodiment, three types of CZ transition modes of mode A, mode B, and mode C are provided, and the number of CZ transition games is set based on these modes. Here, for example, if the set value is 1, the probability that mode A is selected is 70%, the probability that mode B is set is 20%, and the probability that mode C is selected is 10%. . The lottery probability of the mode may be different for each setting, for example, the higher the setting, the higher the transition rate to the mode C is set. The mode that is most easily set may be different for each setting.

  In step S1013, the value of the number of CZ transition games is set with reference to the table of FIG. For example, when the mode A is set as the CZ shift mode, the probability that the number of CZ shift games is selected in the range of 201 to 300 is 10%. For example, when the mode B is set, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 101 to 200 is 20%. In addition, as for the number of CZ transition games, any value in these numerical ranges is selected by a further lottery. At this time, the lottery probabilities may be equal within the numerical range, or within the numerical range. A bias may be provided so that a specific range or a specific value is easily (or hardly) selected. In the present embodiment, the game shifts to CZ when the number of CZ shift games set here elapses without shifting to CZ after the state B is set in the normal state.

  In step S1015, the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step S1017.

  In step S1017, the value of the number of games in state B has been set to 0, and the flow advances to step S1031.

  In step S1021, a game start state B-related process is executed, and the flow advances to step S1031. The details of the state B transition processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1031, preparations are made to transmit an internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400, and the game start state process ends. Note that the internal winning command includes a condition device number that has been internally won, a game state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of remaining CZ games, the number of remaining AT games and additional games, the number of remaining specialty games), and the acquired pt. And the cumulative acquisition pt, the presence or absence of the pt double mode, the state B flag, the number of games in the state B, the number of CZ transition games, the state of the conditional additional flag and the condition of the conditional additional clear, various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right, Blue 7 right), instruction information, and the like.

  Next, the details of the game start state B-related processing (step S1021) in the game start state processing of FIG. 12 will be described using FIG. The figure is a flowchart of the game start state B-related processing (step S1021) in FIG.

  First, in step S1101, which is executed first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1103; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1105.

  In step S1103, normal related processing is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1121. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1105, it is determined whether the gaming state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1107; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1109.

  In step S1107, CZ-related processing is executed, and the flow advances to step S1121. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1109, it is determined whether the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1111; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1113.

  In step S1111, AT-related processing is executed, and the flow advances to step S1121. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1113, specialized zone-related processing is executed, and the flow advances to step S1121. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1121, instruction information setting processing is executed, and the game start state B-related processing ends. This instruction information setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the details of the normal related process (step S1103) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 14 will be described using FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the normal related process (step S1103) in FIG.

  First, in the first step S1201, pt lottery and pt double mode lottery are executed. In the pt lottery, a lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 16A are used. For example, the condition device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, condition device number 1) acquires 5 pt with a probability of 15% and 10 pt with a probability of 5%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. For example, without performing the pt lottery for each game as in the present embodiment, 5 pt is obtained for each game in a certain numerical range (for example, 100 to 150 pt), and 3 pt is obtained for another range (for example, 250 to 300 pt). And so on.

  In the pt2 mode lottery, a lottery type associated with an internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 16B are used. For example, in the condition device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, condition device number 5), the pt double mode is set with a probability of 20%.

  In step S1203, it is determined whether the pt2 mode is set. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1205; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1209.

  In step S1205, the pt obtained in step S1201 is doubled, and the process proceeds to step S1207.

  In step S1207, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to end the pt2 mode (pt2 mode falling down lottery). If the lottery is won, the pt2 mode is canceled. In the pt2 mode drop lottery, the current set values and the table in FIG. 16C are used. For example, when the set value is 1, the pt2 mode is maintained with a probability of 90%, and the pt2 mode ends with a probability of 10%. Note that this lottery may not be executed during a few games after the pt2 mode is set, or the lottery may not be won, so that the period of the pt2 mode is guaranteed.

  In step S1209, the pt acquired in step S1201 (doubled pt when step S1205 is executed) is added to the accumulated acquisition pt, and the flow advances to step S1211.

  In step S1211, 1 is added to the value of the number of games elapsed in state B, and the flow advances to step S1213.

  In step S1213, it is determined whether the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is 1000 pt or more. If this condition is satisfied, the process advances to step S1215; otherwise, the normal related process ends.

  In step S1215, a lottery (CZ lottery, AT lottery) for determining whether to set the CZ and AT states is performed. In these lotteries, the table shown in FIG. 17A is used. For example, when 1 to 4 are set as the set values, the CZ lottery is won with a probability of 20%, and the AT lottery is won with a probability of 5%.

  In step S1217, 1000 is subtracted from the value of the cumulative acquisition pt, and the normal related processing ends.

  Next, the details of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described using FIG. This is a flowchart of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in FIG.

  First, in step S1301, which is executed first, the value of the number of remaining CZ games is subtracted by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1303.

  In step S1303, it is determined whether the user has any of the BAR right and the peach 7 right (right acquired at the time of winning the AT). If this condition is satisfied, the CZ-related processing ends, and if not, the flow advances to step S1305.

  In step S1305, a lottery (AT lottery) for setting the AT state is performed. In this lottery, a lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 17B are used. For example, a condition device (for example, condition device number 5) corresponding to the lottery type B wins the AT lottery with a probability of 20%. If the lottery here is won, a lottery (distribution lottery) for acquiring either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is executed. In this lottery, the table shown in FIG. 17C is used. For example, when 1 to 5 are set as the set values, the BAR right is acquired with a probability of 80%, and the peach right is acquired with a probability of 20%. When the AT lottery is won in this process, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is obtained. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in one stage. However, for example, when the lottery is won a plurality of times (for example, three times), the state may be shifted to the AT state. Further, in this configuration, when the peach 7 right is acquired, it may be determined that the state shifts to the AT state even if the winning is not performed a plurality of times. In addition, it may be configured such that a BAR right acquisition lottery is performed, and that winning in the re-game player 10 with the BAR right acquired is counted as one of a plurality of winnings.

  Next, the details of the AT-related processing (step S1111) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG. This is a flowchart of the AT-related processing (step S1111) in FIG.

  First, in the first step S1401, the value of the number of remaining AT games is subtracted by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1403.

  In step S1403, an additional lottery is executed for the number of remaining AT games. In this lottery, a lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 20A are used. For example, when a condition device (for example, condition device number 7) corresponding to the lottery type D is internally won, the number of remaining AT games is added with a probability of 40%, and the breakdown is 10% with a probability of 90%. It is 20 with a probability of 10%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. Further, in this embodiment, the lottery in which the number of remaining AT games is added is executed for all the condition devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the condition device.

  In step S1405, the number of remaining AT games is added based on the lottery result in step S1403, and the process proceeds to step S1407.

  In step S1407, it is determined whether the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1411; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1409.

  In step S1409, a conditional additional lottery is executed. Here, an additional lottery of the number of remaining AT games obtained when clearing the conditional additional (details will be described later) is executed. In this lottery, the table of FIG. 20B is used, 10 games are selected as the number of added games with a probability of 20%, 20 games are selected as the number of added games with a probability of 5%, and a probability of 5% is selected. , 30 games are selected as the number of additional games, and 100 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 0.1%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. In the present embodiment, a conditionally added lottery is executed for all the condition devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the condition device. When this conditional addition lottery is won, the conditional addition flag is set to ON, and the lottery for the condition for clearing the conditional addition is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1411.

  In step S1411, a lottery (specialized zone right lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to acquire the right to shift to the specialized zone. In addition, the right acquired when winning this lottery is referred to as Blue 7 right. In this lottery, the table shown in FIG. 20C is used. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 5, the blue 7 right is acquired with a probability of 0.05%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. In this embodiment, the special zone right lottery is executed for all the condition devices. However, this lottery may not be executed depending on the condition device. After this lottery, this AT-related processing ends.

  Next, the details of the specialization related process (step S1113) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 14 will be described using FIG. 19B. This is a flowchart of the specialization-related processing (step S1113) in FIG.

  First, in the first step S1421, the value of the number of remaining specialized zone games is subtracted by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1423.

  In step S1423, an additional lottery is executed for the number of remaining AT games. In this lottery, the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 20D are used. For example, when the condition device number 2 is internally won, 10 games are added to the number of remaining AT games with a probability of 100%, and when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won, a 100% probability is obtained. , 30 games are added to the number of remaining AT games. Note that the values of the condition device, the probability, and the number of added games are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted.

  In step S1425, the number of remaining AT games is added based on the result of the lottery in step S1423, and the specialization-related processing ends.

  Next, the details of the instruction information setting process (step S1121) in the game start state B-related process of FIG. 14 will be described using FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the instruction information setting process (step S1121) in FIG.

  First, in step S1501, which is executed first, it is determined whether the gaming state is any of the CZ, the AT state, and the specialization zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process advances to step S1503; otherwise, the instruction information setting process ends.

  In step S1503, it is determined whether or not the pressing order bell (condition device number 8 to 10) has been internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process advances to step S1505; otherwise, the instruction information setting process ends.

  In step S1505, the pressing order (bell navigation) of the correct answer of the pressing order bell is set in the instruction information, and the instruction information setting process ends.

  Next, the details of the game state update process (step S119) in the main control unit main process of FIG. 11 will be described using FIG. The figure is a flowchart of the game state update process (step S119) in FIG.

  First, in step S1A01 executed first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A03; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1A05.

  In step S1A03, a normal update process is performed, and the process proceeds to step S1A21. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1A05, it is determined whether the gaming state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A07; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1A09.

  In step S1A07, the in-CZ update process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1A21. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1A09, it is determined whether the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A11; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1A13.

  In step S1A11, an updating process during AT is performed, and the process proceeds to step S1A21. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1A13, a specializing update process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1A21. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1A21, it is determined whether the state B flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A23; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1A27.

  In step S1A23, a state B end determination process is performed, and the flow advances to step S1A25. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1A25, the instruction information is cleared, and the process proceeds to step S1A27.

  In step S1A27, transmission preparation of a game state update command is performed. This command includes information such as a condition device number that has been internally won, a determination result of a winning combination, a gaming state, a state B flag, and the number of added games by a conditional additional clear.

  Next, details of the normal update process (step S1A03) in the game state update process of FIG. 22 will be described using FIG. This is a flowchart of the normal update process (step S1A03) in FIG.

  First, in step S1B01 executed first, it is determined whether or not an AT lottery (step S1215 in FIG. 15) of the normal related process has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1B03; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1B05.

  In step S1B03, the gaming state is set to the AT state, and an initial value is set to the AT remaining game number. In determining the initial value of the number of remaining AT games, the table shown in FIG. 17D is used. Here, since it is an AT win (AT direct hit) in a normal state, there are 30 games with a 70% probability, 50 games with a 20% probability, 100 games with a 7% probability, and 200 games with a 3% probability. Set as the initial value. Thereafter, the normal update process ends.

  In step S1B05, it is determined whether or not the CZ lottery (step S1215 in FIG. 15) of the normal related processing has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1B07; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1B09.

In this process, if the condition device number 1 is internally won, an effect is set to prompt the player to aim for the blue 7 symbol in the operation sequence of the right first stop. In addition, in a game immediately after the conditional addition flag is turned on, an effect of conditional addition may be set. In displaying the value of the number of remaining AT games, a value for display is separately managed in the first sub control unit 400, and a value smaller than the value of the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed using this value. , An actual value may be displayed.

  Next, details of the specializing effect setting process (step S3113) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 31 will be described using FIG. 34 (b). The figure is a flowchart of the specializing effect setting process (step S3113) in FIG.

  First, in step S3421 executed first, an effect for displaying the current number of remaining specialized games is set. If there is the previously displayed remaining specialization game number, a subtraction from the value to the current remaining specialization game number is displayed.

  In step S3423, it is determined whether any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 has been internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3425; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3427.

  In step S3425, an aiming effect (an effect for urging the player to aim for a specific role) is set. Specifically, when the condition device numbers 1 and 2 are internally won, an effect is set to prompt the player to aim at the BAR symbol in the operation sequence of the first right stop, and the condition device numbers 3 and 4 In the case of winning, an effect is set in the operation sequence of the right first stop and prompting the player to aim at the seven second symbol. In addition, an effect aiming at the Seventh symbol may be executed in place of the BAR symbol or the Seventh symbol. After this processing, the flow advances to step S3427.

  In step S3427, it is determined whether the number of remaining specialized games is zero. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3429; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3431.

  In step S3429, a specialization zone end effect (effect indicating that the specialization zone has ended) is set. The specialization zone end effect set here is executed at a timing after all reels have stopped.

  In step S3431, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the special effect effect setting process ends.

  Next, details of the game state update command processing (step S343) when a game state update command is received in the command processing of FIG. 29D will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the game state update command processing (step S343) when the game state update command is received in FIG. 29 (d).

  First, in step S3A01 executed first, game information included in the game state update command is obtained, and the process proceeds to step S3A03. The information acquired here includes information such as a condition device number that has been internally won, a determination result of a winning combination, a gaming state, a state B flag, and the number of added games by a conditional additional clear.

  In step S3A03, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the AT state by referring to the information acquired in step S3A01. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A05; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3A11.

  In step S3A05, with reference to the information acquired in step S3A01, it is determined whether the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A07; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A07, a process of updating the conditionally added effect is executed. Here, when the set condition is satisfied, the display of the portion corresponding to the condition is updated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A11, with reference to the information acquired in step S3A01, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a specialization zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A13; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A13, it is determined whether or not the aiming effect (step S3425 in FIG. 34B) has been executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A15; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A15, it is determined whether or not any of the replays 6, 10, 15, and 16 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A17; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S3A19.

  In step S3A17, a successful effect indicating that the symbol indicated by the aiming effect has been successfully stopped is set, and an additional effect of the number of remaining AT games is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S3A21. In addition, a value smaller than the actual value may be displayed for the addition of the AT remaining game number. In this case, the displayed number of remaining AT games is smaller than the actual value, but when returning to the AT state, the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed (step S3401 in FIG. 34A). At that time, the actual number of added games can be grasped.

  In step S3A19, a failure effect indicating that the stop of the symbol indicated by the aiming effect has failed is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S3A21. Since this failed effect is executed even if the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 19B), the displayed number of remaining AT games may be smaller than the actual value. . In this case, when returning to the AT state, the actual number of remaining games is displayed (step S3401 in FIG. 34A), so that the actual number of additional games can be grasped at that time.

  In step S3A21, in addition to the above-described processing, processing at the time of receiving the gaming state update command (including, for example, processing for setting an effect corresponding to each gaming state) is executed, and the gaming state update command processing ends. .

<Process of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 36A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 36B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 36C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 36D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S401 in FIG. 36A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S401. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

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

  In step S405, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

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

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

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

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

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

  In step S417, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S403 in the second sub-controller main process shown in FIG. 36A, and the original value is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S419, processing for updating the effect random number is performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S411 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of the image control process.

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

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

  In step S425, parameters are set based on the rendering scenario configuration table and the attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 on the basis of the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S421, the CPU 504 stores information on image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axes and the image size of the VRAM 518). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), superimposition and transparency of images, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 sets parameters according to the attribute based on a command stored in the attribute register.

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

  In step S429, it is determined whether a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the drawing end of the image has been input. If the generation end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S431; otherwise, the generation end interrupt signal has been input. Wait for is entered.

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

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

[Example of conditional addition]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, a conditional additional lottery is executed in the AT state. When this lottery is won, three additional conditions (hereinafter, first clear condition to third clear condition) are set together with the additional amount of the AT remaining game (step S1409 in FIG. 19A). Is satisfied (cleared), the set AT remaining game number is added (step S1D03 in FIG. 25A). Further, an effect related to this is executed in the first sub-control unit 400 (step S3417 in FIG. 34A, step S3A07 in FIG. 35). Hereinafter, the operation in the case of winning the conditional addition will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. 37 is a timing chart showing an example of a case in which a conditionally added lottery is won. FIG. 38 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect performed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart illustrated in FIG. 37.

  In the example of FIG. 37, it is assumed that the first game is completed in a state where the conditional addition flag is OFF in the AT state, the condition device number 10 is internally won in the subsequent second game, and further, the conditional addition lottery is won. (Step S1409 in FIG. 19A). FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 10 has been internally won in the second game, and that the conditional addition flag has been set to ON by winning the conditional addition lottery. . Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 10 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal win of the condition device number 8 as the first clear condition, the internal win of the condition device number 9 as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 has been set.

  At this time, the first sub-control unit 400 internally wins the condition device number 10 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state, and therefore, as shown in FIG. An operation navigation showing the correct operation sequence (first right stop) is displayed. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 displays an image indicating that the conditional addition lottery has been won by turning on the conditional addition flag (step S3417 in FIG. 34A). FIG. 38A shows, as an example of this image, three circles TC displayed at the upper left in the display area of the effect image display device 157. Of the three circles TC, the lower left circle corresponds to the first clear condition, the middle upper circle corresponds to the second clear condition, and the lower right circle corresponds to the third clear condition. The initial state of these circles is set to white, and for the part where the corresponding clear condition is satisfied, it is determined at the end of the game, and the color is changed to a color corresponding to the additional amount won in the conditional additional lottery (FIG. 35, step S3A07). Specifically, when the added amount is 10 games and 20 games, the color changes to green, and when the added amount is 30 games and 100 games, the color changes to gold. That is, when all three circles TC become green or all gold, all the first to third clear conditions are cleared, and the additional AT remaining game number is executed. At the start of the second game, all the circles are white because it is not determined that each clear condition is satisfied. The timing for determining whether the clear condition is satisfied is not particularly limited. For example, the determination may be made before the reel stops.

  In the game of the second game, it is assumed that eight medals have been obtained (five net additions) by operating in accordance with the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circles TC changes to green as shown in FIG. 38B (in this figure, Green is shown with diagonal cross-hatching).

  In the third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 has been internally won. FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 9 was internally won in the third game. In addition, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 9 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state is internally won, as shown in FIG. 38 (c), the correct answer of the condition device number 9 in the effect image display device 157 is obtained. The operation navigation showing the operation sequence (middle first stop) is displayed. In the game of the third game, it is assumed that eight medals have been obtained (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the second clear condition is satisfied, the middle upper circle of the three circles TC changes as shown in FIG. Cross-hatching).

  In the fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 8 is internally won. FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 8 was internally won in the fourth game. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 8 which is the order of pushing in the AT state is internally won, as shown in FIG. 38 (e), the correct answer of the condition device number 8 in the effect image display device 157 is obtained. An operation navigation showing the operation order (first left stop) is displayed. In the game of the fourth game, it is assumed that eight medals have been acquired (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, the lower left circle of the three circles TC changes as shown in FIG. 38 (f) due to the first clear condition being satisfied (in this figure, the green color is obliquely changed). (Shown by cross-hatching of lines).

  Further, when all the three round TCs become green (all the first to third clear conditions are cleared), the three round TCs blink as shown in FIG. 38 (g), and further, as shown in FIG. ), An effect is urged to press a predetermined button (for example, any of the stop buttons). Further, when the predetermined button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 38 (i), the three circles TC disappear, and the amount of additional winning in the conditional additional winning is displayed, and the number of remaining AT games is added. When this addition is made, the conditional addition flag is set to OFF (step S1D05 in FIG. 25A).

  In the following fifth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 10 is internally won, and further, a conditionally added lottery is newly won (step S1409 in FIG. 19A). FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 10 has been internally won in the fifth game, and that the conditionally added flag has been set to ON again by winning the conditionally added lottery. I have. Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 30 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal win of the condition device number 8 as the first clear condition, the internal win of the condition device number 9 as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 has been set.

  At this time, the first sub-controller 400 internally wins the condition device number 10 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state, and therefore, as shown in FIG. An operation navigation showing the correct operation sequence (first right stop) is displayed. In addition, in the first sub-control unit 400, the three additional circles TC are displayed at the upper left in the display area of the effect image display device 157 in the same manner as in FIG. At the start of the fifth game, all the circles are white because it is not determined that each clear condition is satisfied.

  In the game of the fifth game, it is assumed that eight medals have been obtained by operating in accordance with the operation navigation (5 net medals). Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circles TC changes to gold as shown in FIG. 38 (k) (in this figure, (Gold color is shown with hatching falling to the left.)

  Although FIG. 37 shows the sixth to ninth games, the first clear condition and the second clear condition are not satisfied during this period. In the ninth game, the condition device number 10, which is the third clear condition, has been internally won again. At this point, the third clear condition has already been cleared, and at least the sixth to ninth games have been cleared. Between the three circles TC, the color does not change.

[Other configurations for conditional addition]
In the above-described examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, when the first clear condition to the third clear condition (in the example of FIG. 37, internally winning the condition device numbers 8 to 10) are cleared, the number of remaining AT games is added. Configuration. Further, a bonus image (all three green or gold circles TC in the example of FIG. 38) corresponding to the added amount to be given is prepared, and the first clear condition to the third clearing condition are set for this bonus image. A portion corresponding to the clear condition is set, and when any of the first to third clear conditions is cleared, a portion corresponding to the cleared condition is displayed. According to this configuration, it is possible to expect an additional game every time the first clear condition to the third clear condition are cleared, thereby improving the interest of the game. Further, as the clearing of the first to third clear conditions progresses, the privilege image is gradually displayed, so that the additional amount to be obtained can be estimated to improve the interest of the game.

  In the example of FIG. 37 and FIG. 38, a configuration has been described in which three clear conditions, that is, a first clear condition to a third clear condition, are provided and are associated with the three portions of the privilege image. Here, the configuration for gradually displaying the privilege image by changing the timing at which the clear condition is satisfied is not limited to the above configuration, and the clear condition is associated with each of a plurality of portions of the privilege image. Just do it. Further, the timing of the association is not limited to the timing at which the clear condition is set. For example, a configuration may be employed in which a portion to be displayed is determined at a timing at which one of the clear conditions is satisfied. In addition, the criteria for the determination are not particularly limited. For example, a configuration may be used in which a corresponding portion is determined at random.

  In the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, as the clear condition corresponding to one portion of the privilege image, a condition that is established according to the winning internal winning combination is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various conditions can be adopted. For example, in FIG. 37 and FIG. 38, the configuration in which the internal winning of the pushing order bell is set as the clear condition has been described. In addition, it is a condition established by a winning combination or a reel stop mode instead of an internal winning combination, a condition established by a result of some sort of lottery executed by the main control unit 300, or a game number such as the number of games or a winning history of a combination. May be established based on the history of the game, or may be established based on the elapsed time in the game. Further, the conditions may be satisfied according to operation conditions (operation contents) such as the operated operation means, the operation order and the operation timing, or a lottery result for each game (for a plurality of games) regardless of such operation. (Including a lottery result over time), or may be a condition established by a combination of such a lottery result for each game and an operation of a player. The operating means is not limited to the various operating means provided in the present embodiment, and for example, an operating means for effect may be used. By associating the clear condition with the operation condition, fun for the operation can be given. Further, for example, after winning in the conditional addition, the first clear condition is satisfied by the first internal winning of the condition device number 8, the second clear condition is satisfied by the second internal winning of the condition device number 8, and 3 As in the configuration in which the third clear condition is satisfied by the internal winning of the second condition device number 8, or the configuration in which the first clear condition and the second clear condition are satisfied by the internal winning of the same condition device number, There may be common requirements among the clear conditions corresponding to the parts.

  In addition, for example, when all clear conditions are satisfied in one game irrespective of the difference between a plurality of clear conditions, or when the clear conditions corresponding to each part are different but are satisfied at the same timing, Multiple clear conditions may be the same due to the lottery, but if at least the case where the clear conditions are satisfied is different, show the player the operation of gradually displaying the privilege image. Can be.

  Further, in the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, the cleared condition is maintained as it is, but the cleared state is reset later, for example, by setting a valid period in the cleared state. Alternatively, another clear condition may be set again. Further, the clear condition may be changed in the middle, such as providing a valid period in the clear condition.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the additional number of AT remaining games is acquired when the conditional addition is cleared. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the additional number of AT remaining games is added when the condition is cleared, and a benefit ( (A transition to an advantageous state, a longer period of an already set advantageous state, etc.) may be obtained. Further, the present invention is not limited to such a privilege, and a configuration may be adopted in which information relating to a gaming table, such as a set value of the gaming table or an internal gaming state, is reported or suggested. Further, for example, in a case where a user's individual environment is provided in a game console, image data and music data for customizing the image or images that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal or the like owned by the player. A configuration in which information that is not related to a game, such as information on a game or music, may be notified. Further, a combination of these may be used.

  In addition, the privilege is not limited to the configuration that can always be acquired when the condition is cleared, but may be such that the privilege cannot be acquired when the condition is cleared, such as a configuration in which the privilege can be acquired according to the set acquisition probability. Furthermore, even when the lottery with the conditional addition is not won, the same effect as in the case where the lottery is won may be executed.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the amount of addition is determined in advance in conditional addition lottery is adopted, but a configuration in which a privilege is determined when the clear condition is first satisfied may be adopted. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the privilege determined in advance can be changed in the middle. In this case, a bonus image that matches the bonus before the change may be used, or the bonus image may be changed according to the bonus after the change.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the clearing condition determination processing is interrupted when a transition to the specialization zone is made after winning in the conditional addition (restarting when returning to the AT state). A configuration in which the determination of the clear condition is continued as it is when the game state is entered may be adopted. Alternatively, a configuration may be such that a privilege according to a clear condition that is satisfied when the game state is shifted is provided. Further, when the game state returns to the original game state, another conditional addition may be started again. In addition, in the present embodiment, the conditional addition is completed at once, but, for example, when the addition is completed, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue anew. Is also good. Further, the conditional addition lottery may be executed at the start of the AT, or a new conditional addition lottery may be executed immediately after the privilege by the conditional addition lottery is obtained.

  In this embodiment, when the AT state ends (transition to the normal state) without all of the clear conditions being satisfied, a configuration in which the benefits obtained when all of the clear conditions are satisfied cannot be obtained is adopted. However, when the AT state ends, a benefit according to the clear condition that has been established halfway may be provided. For example, if two of the three circle TCs in FIG. 38 are golden, an additional game of 10 games may be executed (in this case, the number of remaining AT games is 10). , And the three circles TC disappear). When adopting this configuration, the benefit obtained when the clear condition is partially satisfied is smaller than the benefit obtained when all the clear conditions are satisfied (which is disadvantageous to the player). preferable.

  In the example of FIG. 38, an example has been described in which the colors shown in FIGS. 39A and 39B are associated with the number of additional games that can be obtained. Specifically, if the three circles TC have the same color, 10 or 20 games for green and 30 or 100 games for gold are added to the number of remaining AT games. In the example shown in FIG. 38, only the modes shown in FIGS. 39A and 39B are used. However, for example, when all the colors are not the same color but different colors are included, the result is not added. (Additional failure). In the example of FIG. 39 (c), the lower left and lower right of the three circles TC are green, and the upper middle is gold, and when this privilege image is displayed, 20% of the bonus image is displayed. There is a probability that the remaining number of AT games is added to 10 games (additional failure occurs with a probability of 80%). In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which a large reward is given when the three circles TC have a specific color combination, and information such as setting suggestions may be included in addition to the addition. In the example of FIG. 39D, an example is shown in which each of the three circles TC has a different color. When this privilege image is displayed, the number of remaining AT games is increased by 100 games, and the set value is set. Is suggested to be one of 456.

  Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a clear condition corresponding to each portion of the three circles TC is suggested. In the example of FIG. 39 (e), the part where the katakana “J” is displayed indicates that the internal winning of the cherry is the clear condition, and the part where the katakana “SU” is displayed is , Indicating that the internal election of the watermelon is a clear condition, the part with the katakana "be" displayed is that the internal win of the push order bell (or common bell) is the clear condition It suggests. In this example, since the part where the katakana "be" is displayed is at the lower left, it also suggests that the internal winning of the first left bell is a clear condition. In this manner, when suggesting the clear condition, the clear condition may be indicated not only by the notation but also by the position. Further, a configuration in which katakana is not displayed may be used as a suggestion of some internal winning (for example, a pressing order bell). Also, a configuration may be adopted in which a clear condition different from the actual clear condition is added and suggested. Further, the present invention is not limited to suggesting all clear conditions, but may be indicative of some clear conditions. In the example of FIG. 39 (e), the relationship between the clear condition and the corresponding part is clear. However, a configuration may be adopted in which only the clear condition is suggested and the corresponding part is not displayed. In the configuration suggesting the clear condition in this way, the player can be made to recognize the clear condition, and for example, if the clear condition can be satisfied, the player can enjoy the challenge. Further, by clarifying a portion corresponding to the clear condition, it is possible to give a pleasure such as aiming at a portion to be displayed.

  Further, a configuration may be adopted in which information on the contents of the privilege is suggested separately from the privilege image. FIG. 39 (f) shows an example in which “reward 10G” is displayed below the three circles TC to indicate that 10 additional games are set as a privilege. FIG. 39 (g) shows an example in which “50%” is displayed below the three circles TC to indicate that the probability of obtaining the privilege is 50%. Further, the timing at which such suggestion is made may be delayed, and the timing may be indicated. FIG. 39 (h) shows an example in which “remaining 5G” is displayed below the three circles TC to indicate that the suggestion regarding the contents of the privilege is displayed after five games. Further, the configuration may be such that information on the contents of the privilege is suggested at a timing when a predetermined number of clear conditions are satisfied or at a timing when a specific condition among the clear conditions is satisfied. FIG. 39 (i) shows an example in which “reward 10G” similar to that of FIG. 39 (f) is displayed at the timing when one of the clear conditions is satisfied (one of the three round TCs changes). .

  Further, the privilege image is not limited to the three circle TCs shown in FIG. 38 and FIGS. 39A to 39D, and various images can be used. For example, FIGS. 39 (j) to 39 (p) show an example in which a character is used as a privilege image.

  First, in the examples of FIGS. 39 (j) to (l), FIG. 39 (j) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege of acquiring an additional 10 games with a probability of 50%, and FIG. FIG. 39 (l) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can acquire an additional 30 games with a probability of 100%. These privilege images have the basic form of FIG. 39 (j) (an image in which only the main character is displayed). The hero character indicates an addition of 10 or more games. In addition, as for the star marks at the upper left of FIG. 39 (k) or the upper left and upper right of FIG. 39 (l), the addition of one star mark is determined, and the addition of at least two stars determines the addition of at least 30 games. It has a configuration. In other words, the content of the privilege that varies depending on the number of star marks is displayed. It should be noted that when a portion without a star mark is displayed first, it can be expected that a more advantageous privilege will be provided. As described above, in the case where the common portion is displayed in a plurality of privilege images, when the common portion is displayed, the player is allowed to have a sense of expectation while estimating the content of the privilege to some extent. You can entertain. In addition, this configuration is an example, the probability increases when there is a star mark on the left part, the number of additional games increases when the star mark is on the right part, or as the display position of the star mark increases, The contents of the privilege may be changed according to the location of the star mark, such as obtaining an advantageous privilege. Further, the privilege may be configured to be different depending on the color of the star mark.

  In the example of FIGS. 39 (m) and (n), FIG. 39 (m) is a bonus image corresponding to a bonus that can acquire 100 games with a 100% probability, and FIG. 39 (n) is a bonus image with a 100% probability. This is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege for which 100 games have been acquired and the set value is suggested to be one of 456. These privilege images are examples in which a princess character indicating a privilege that is more advantageous than the basic form of FIG. 39 (j) (image in which only the main character is displayed) is used. This princess character indicates that the addition of 100 games or more has been confirmed. Also, the Haniwa character displayed at the lower left of the privilege image in FIG. 39 (n) suggests that the set value is 456, and may be used in combination with the main character and others in FIG. 39 (j). Good.

  39 (j)-(l) and FIGS. 39 (m)-(n), the middle portion is common, but as for the privilege image having a common portion with other privilege images as described above. May be configured such that the common part is visible from the beginning. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a case where the common part is shown from the beginning and a case where the common part is not shown are determined by lottery.

  In addition, the image of the treasure box in FIG. 39 (o) indicates that the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 19 (a)) has been won. In this case, information on the game can be obtained from the privilege image. The character image of the robot shown in FIG. 39 (p) is a privilege image from which data for customization can be obtained.

  When a plurality of privilege images are used as shown in FIGS. 39 (j) to (p), they are arranged in a preset area such as a frame shown by cross hatching in FIG. 39 (q). It may be. Also, for such an area, a plurality of positions that can be arranged may be provided, and this position may be appropriately selected and used. However, the position and the obtained privilege are set so that the obtained privilege is not predicted. Is preferably not related to. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 39 (j) to (p), the background of the character exists, but the background may not be displayed.

  FIG. 40 is a diagram illustrating an example of a conditional addition lottery operation when the privilege images in FIGS. 39 (j) to 39 (p) are used.

  FIG. 40A illustrates an example of an operation corresponding to the second to fourth games in FIG. In this example, the first clear condition corresponds to the left portion, the second clear condition corresponds to the middle portion, and the third clear condition corresponds to the right portion. In the example of FIG. 37, since the third clear condition, the second clear condition, and the first clear condition are satisfied in this order, the operation in this case is as shown in FIG. They are displayed in order.

  FIG. 40B shows an example in which the already satisfied clear condition is satisfied again. In this example, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 (the first middle bell) is the clear condition corresponding to the middle part of the privilege image. In a state where the middle portion of the privilege image is not displayed, the middle portion is displayed by the internal winning of the middle 1st bell. Subsequently, although the middle 1st bell is internally won, the middle portion has already been displayed, so there is no newly displayed portion. Further, in this drawing, it is shown that the left portion that was not displayed is displayed due to the internal winning of the condition device number 8 (1st left bell) which is the clear condition corresponding to the left portion.

  FIG. 40C illustrates an example in which the same condition device (here, cherry) is associated with each part. In this example, the bonus images are displayed in order from the left by internally winning the cherry three times. The portion corresponding to the first to third cherry internal winning (clear condition) may be determined when the clear condition is set, or may be determined randomly or by lottery each time the clear condition is satisfied. It may be. In any configuration, the clear condition and the privilege image portion may be associated with each other.

  FIG. 40D shows an example in which a configuration in which the privilege changes on the way is adopted. In this example, after the middle 1st bell internal winning set as the clear condition corresponding to the middle portion is established and the middle portion is displayed, the strong winning is internally won and the number of added games increases (privilege changes). This shows that the privilege image used thereby has been changed. Note that the change of the privilege image is not limited to the mode in which the character is replaced as in this example, but may be a mode in which an image such as the star mark described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 40E shows an example in which a clear condition corresponding to the operation order is used. In this example, when the common bell is internally won, the right portion of the privilege image is displayed by pressing the same, and when the common bell is internally won, the left portion of the privilege image is displayed by the reverse pressing. In this configuration, a portion to be displayed can be determined by an operation. Therefore, by using a privilege image in which information obtained according to a displayed portion is different, it becomes possible for a player to select and display information desired to be obtained. The privilege image in FIG. 40 (e) has a content in which “G Extra” on the right side recognizes that the number of additional games can be acquired, and “50” on the left side recognizes a number related to the privilege. In this example, the information about the acquisition of the number of additional games is obtained first, but the number relating to the privilege may be displayed first. It should be noted that, in addition to “G additional information” indicating information that can acquire the number of additional games as such a privilege image, “additional set” is a privilege when the number of AT sets is adopted, and the period of the AT state is represented by the number of games. "Navigation added" as a privilege when managed by the number of navigation times, "Sheet acquisition" as a privilege when the period of the AT state is managed by the number of obtainable rather than the number of games, and some points are used. By using a display such as “acquire pt” as a privilege in such a case, it is possible to infer the contents of the privilege that can be acquired. Note that, for example, only numbers (only the left portion in FIG. 40E) may be displayed, and the right portion may be displayed so that the contents of the privilege can be grasped. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a displayed portion of these privilege images cannot be selected according to the operation of the player. For example, in the case of the configuration in which the AT state is managed using two parameters of the number of times of navigation and the number of obtainable sheets, any of the above-mentioned "addition to navigation" and "acquisition of sheets" can be used. That is, the management configuration of the AT status is not limited, and an appropriate display can be adopted according to the management configuration of the AT status.

  The privilege image has been described above with reference to the example. In addition, if a part of the different privilege images has a common configuration, it is not possible to determine which privilege image is to be displayed when only this part is displayed. There is a case that the expectation for is increased. Also, in the example of FIG. 38, three circles TC are united, but each part of the privilege image may be arranged separately in the display area of the effect image display device 157. Further, a part of the privilege image may be displayed from the beginning. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, the state where none of the clear conditions are satisfied can be grasped by the three circles TC being white. May not be displayed (the background image is displayed as it is).

[About aiming production in CZ]
In the present embodiment, if the player wins the AT lottery during CZ, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired (step S1305 in FIG. 18). For these rights, there is provided a condition device that shifts to the AT state regardless of the stop mode when the internal winning is performed. However, if these condition devices are internally won, a stop operation for causing a specific role to be won is prompted. An aiming effect is executed (step S3307 in FIG. 33). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

  First, a case where the BAR right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device number 2 is a condition device for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 24). Hereinafter, the operation when the condition device number 2 is internally won while the BAR right is acquired will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 41A shows that the aiming effect indicating that a stop operation is performed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left and aiming at the BAR symbol is executed. Here, the condition device number 2 has been internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game player 10 can win. The aiming effect here is an effect prompting this stop operation.

  According to this aiming effect, first, a stop operation is performed on the right reel 112 aiming at the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. In FIG. 41B, the pull-in range of 1 to 4 symbol points on the right reel 112 is indicated by four BAR symbols. FIG. 41C shows a state in which the BAR symbol has stopped on the pay line due to the first right stop.

  Subsequently, when a stop operation is performed on the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 aiming at the BAR symbol, the BAR symbol falls within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. It is necessary to perform a stop operation at a certain timing. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. Further, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from number 19 (blank 1 symbol) and number 0 (bell symbol) to number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. FIG. 41D shows the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 by four BAR symbols, and FIG. 41E shows the BAR symbol on the winning line due to the second middle stop. Shows a stopped state. Further, in FIG. 41 (f), the pull-in range of 1-4 symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 41 (g), the BAR symbol is awarded by the third left stop. The stopped state is shown above.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, a state is achieved in which the re-game player 10 (BAR replay) is won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 41 (h), the effect image display device 157 is notified of the transition to the AT state. With this series of operations, a sense of accomplishment of being able to shift to the AT state by the stop operation can be given to the player.

  In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described. You can win a prize. In the case of the first left stop or the first middle stop, the player wins the replaying game 2 and does not win the replaying game 10.

  Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-gaming combination 10 does not win and other winning combinations (here, re-gaming combinations 1, 3 to 9) Will be stopped. At this time, the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol stop with priority. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to aim at the Seven 1 symbol, stop the game, and make the re-game combination 6 win.

  Next, a case where the peach 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are condition devices for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C03 in FIG. 24). Hereinafter, an operation when the condition device number 3 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 42A shows that the aiming image effect is displayed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, center, and left, and the aiming effect indicating that the stop operation is aimed at the BAR symbol is performed. Here, since the condition device number 3 is internally won, the BAR symbol cannot be stopped on the winning line regardless of the stop operation. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the player performs a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the right reel 112 as in the example of FIG.

  In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. The stop operation at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is to stop the seven 2 symbol on the winning line. (All symbols fall within the pull-in range). In FIG. 42 (b), the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the right reel 112 is shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the seven symbol and the seven symbol are stopped with priority. As described above, among the timings at which the BAR symbols are stopped, the timing at which there is a BAR symbol in the pull-in range of 1 to 4 symbols ahead on the right reel 112 is also the timing at which the Seven 2 symbols are stopped, so the BAR symbol is aimed at. As a result, the Seven 2 symbols may stop. FIG. 42 (c) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol has stopped on the pay line due to the first right stop.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 42 (d), the effect image display device 157 changes the contents of the aiming effect so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped despite aiming at the BAR symbol. As a result, it is possible to understand that the Seven 2 symbol has been stopped, and to increase the willingness for the subsequent stop operation.

  Subsequently, a stop operation is performed on the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 aiming at the seven symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within a pull-in range) from a position where the seven symbols are on the winning line. More specifically, a stop operation is required at a timing when the range from the number 0 (cherry symbol) to the number 4 (seven two symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. Further, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven two symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 42 (e), the pull-in range of 1 to 4 symbol destinations on the middle reel 111 is shown by four Seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. 42 (f), the Seven 2 symbols are won by the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown on the line. Further, in FIG. 42 (g), the pull-in range of 1 to 4 symbol points on the left reel 110 is shown by four Seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. The stopped state is shown on the winning line.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, a state is achieved in which the re-game player 16 (peach 7 replay) is won. The aiming effect in this case is an effect that prompts a stop operation for causing the re-gaming combination 16 to win. Further, as shown in FIG. 42 (i), the effect image display device 157 is informed that the state shifts to the AT state. With this series of operations, a sense of accomplishment of being able to shift to the AT state by the stop operation can be given to the player.

  In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described. You can win a prize. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the player wins the replaying game 2 and does not win the replaying gamer 16.

  Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-gaming combination 16 is not won, and other winning combinations (here, re-gaming combinations 1, 3 to 6,. The symbols constituting (11-13) are stopped. At this time, the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol stop with priority. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to aim at the Seven 1 symbol, stop the game, and make the re-game combination 6 win.

  Hereinafter, the operation when the condition device number 4 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 43A shows that the aiming image effect is displayed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, center, and left, and the aiming effect is to indicate that the stop operation is aimed at the BAR symbol. Here, since the condition device number 4 is internally won, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line in the first stop on the right.

  According to the aiming effect, it is assumed that a stop operation is performed with the right reel 112 aiming at the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. In FIG. 43B, the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the right reel 112 is shown by four BAR symbols. FIG. 43 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol has stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

  Regarding the subsequent middle second stop, the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol. However, since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, the BAR symbol is determined in the middle reel 111 regardless of the stop operation. Cannot be stopped on the winning line. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the player performs a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111 as in the example of FIG.

  In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. The timing at which the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 4 (seven symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the seven symbol on the winning line. (Each symbol is within the pull-in range.) In FIG. 43 (d), the pull-in range of 1 to 4 symbol points on the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the seven symbol and the seven symbol are stopped with priority. As described above, among the timings at which the BAR symbols are stopped, the timing at which there is a BAR symbol in the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 is also the timing at which the Seven 2 symbols are stopped, so the BAR symbol is aimed. As a result, the Seven 2 symbols may stop. FIG. 43 (e) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol has stopped on the pay line due to the middle second stop.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 43 (f), in the effect image display device 157, the contents of the aiming effect are changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped despite aiming at the BAR symbol. In particular, unlike the example of FIG. 42, the stop mode of the first right stop is the same as that of the example of FIG. 1, and therefore, the sense of incongruity may be further increased. As a result, it is possible to understand that the Seven 2 symbol has been stopped, and to increase the willingness for the subsequent stop operation.

  Subsequently, a stop operation is performed on the left reel 110 aiming at the Seven 2 symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within a pull-in range) from a position where the seven symbols are on the winning line. More specifically, a stop operation is required at a timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven two symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. The timing at which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbol on the winning line (anyway). Is also within the pull-in range). In FIG. 43 (g), the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the left reel 110 is indicated by four Seven 2 symbols. However, here, the Seven 2 symbol does not stop on the winning line (the re-game players 14 and 15 remaining as candidates for the winning combination do not stop the Seven 2 symbol on the left reel 110), and the Seven 1 symbol does not stop. And BAR symbols will be stopped preferentially. As described above, among the timings of stopping the Seven 2 symbols, the timing of the Seven reels in the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the left reel 110 is also the timing of stopping the BAR symbols. Aiming at may result in the BAR symbol stopping. FIG. 43H shows a state in which the BAR symbol has stopped on the pay line due to the third left stop. Note that, in this case, the Seven 2 symbols are in a state of lowering to the right.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, a state is achieved in which the player has won the replaying game 15 (peach 7 replay). The aiming effect in this case is an effect that prompts a stop operation for causing the re-gaming combination 15 to win. Further, as shown in FIG. 43 (i), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the state will shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, a sense of accomplishment of being able to shift to the AT state by the stop operation can be given to the player.

  In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described. You can win a prize. However, if the second stop operation is for the left reel 110 and the BAR symbol stops on the winning line, both re-game players 10 and 15 are in a state of stiffness (at this time, the condition device number 2, 4). In this case, the second reel may be stopped by causing the middle reel 111 to aim at the BAR symbol without changing the symbol of the aiming effect, or the target symbol may be changed to the seven second symbol. In the case of the first left stop or the first middle stop, the player wins the replaying game 2 and does not win the replaying game 15.

  Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-gaming combination 15 does not win, and other winning combinations (here, re-gaming combinations 1, 3 to The symbols constituting (7, 9, 14) are stopped. At this time, the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol stop with priority. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to aim at the Seven 1 symbol, stop the game, and make the re-game combination 6 win.

  In the description of FIG. 41 to FIG. 43, the aiming effect in the case of winning the AT lottery (the case where the BAR right and the peach 7 right are acquired) has been described. It may be executed (step S3317 in FIG. 33). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 44, an example of the operation when the condition device number 1 is internally won in a state where the AT lottery has not been won will be described.

  FIG. 44 (a) shows that the aiming image effect is displayed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left and suggesting that a stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol. Here, the condition device number 1 is internally won, and the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line for the first right stop and the second middle stop.

  According to the aiming effect, it is assumed that a stop operation is performed with the right reel 112 aiming at the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 44B, the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the right reel 112 is shown by four BAR symbols. FIG. 44 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol has stopped on the pay line due to the first right stop.

  Subsequently, when a stop operation is performed on the middle reel 111 to aim at a BAR symbol, the BAR symbol is stopped at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position on the winning line. You need to take action. FIG. 44 (d) shows the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 by four BAR symbols, and FIG. 44 (e) shows the BAR symbol on the winning line due to the second middle stop. Shows a stopped state.

  Subsequently, a stop operation is performed on the left reel 110 aiming at the BAR symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within a range of four symbols (within a pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 44 (f), the pull-in range of the first reel to the fourth symbol on the left reel 110 is indicated by four Seven 2 symbols. However, here, only the replaying game 8 remains as a winning combination candidate, and only the replay symbol stops on the left reel 110. FIG. 44 (g) shows a state where the replay symbol has stopped on the payline due to the third left stop.

  If an operation is performed at a timing other than the timing described above, the symbols constituting other winning combinations are stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are stopped with priority, but the condition device number 1 does not win the re-gaming combinations 6, 10, 15, and 16. For this reason, even if aiming at the seven-first symbol, the re-playing part 6 cannot be won.

  When the condition device number 1 is internally won, even if the stop operation is performed in accordance with the aiming effect, none of the re-gaming combinations 10, 15, and 16 won at the time of the AT winning is won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 44 (h), the effect image display device 157 displays a “sorry” message notifying that the state does not shift to the AT state.

[Other configurations for aiming production in CZ]
As described in the examples of FIG. 41 to FIG. 44, in the present embodiment, it is possible to lead to a prize for a specific combination while changing a target symbol in the middle, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous to win the replaying game 16 and replaying game 15 in FIGS. 42 and 43 than to win the replaying game 10 in FIG. 41 (AT state). 17 (d), the number of remaining initial AT games is large. Although the configuration in which the difference is provided in the degree of advantage does not need to be adopted, the configuration in which the change in the target symbol is more advantageous can improve the interest of the game. In addition, it is good also as a structure which becomes disadvantageous when there is a change of the target symbol.

  In the example of FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, the effect is changed at the timing when the BAR symbol is aimed at and the Seven 2 symbol that the user really wants to stop has been stopped. Here, when the Seven 2 symbol does not stop, May be continued without changing the aimed effect. In particular, in the present embodiment, regardless of the stop mode, the condition is changed from the next game to the AT state when the condition device corresponding to the acquired right is internally won, so that the Seven 2 symbol is not stopped. May be continued without changing the effect aimed at, and then an effect suggesting transition to the AT state may be executed. The present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a failure effect indicating that the target symbol has not stopped may be performed. In addition, although the target symbol is changed in the examples of FIGS. 42 and 43, there may be a case where the effect of aiming at the seven second symbol is executed from the beginning and the target symbol is not changed.

  Further, regarding the timing of the change in the aimed effect, the symbol (the Seven 2 symbol in FIGS. 42 and 43) different from the symbol indicated by the aimed effect is at the position (the middle stage in FIGS. 42 and 43) aimed by the stop operation. It may be the moment when it is determined to be stopped or after the corresponding reel has stopped. In particular, depending on the design of the symbols on the reels and the timing of the eye pressing, there may be adopted a configuration in which the stop symbol can be easily grasped. For such a configuration, it is preferable to change the effect aimed after stopping the reel. In addition, some players may perform a game operation by inertia and not notice that the target pattern has been changed.Therefore, in order to make it easier to notice that the target pattern has been changed, the player freezes with the target pattern change. May be executed.

  As described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 44, the condition device number 2 can win the replaying game 10 when the internal winning is achieved, while the condition device number 1 wins the replaying game 10 when the internal winning is achieved. Although there is no play, the combination of the stop mode (re-game combination 8 in FIG. 44) in which the prize to the re-game combination 10 is expected halfway is won. On the other hand, in the condition device numbers 3 and 4 described with reference to FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, it is possible to win the replays 15 and 16, respectively. Not been. That is, it is possible to know that the AT winning (acquisition of the peach 7 right) has been confirmed at the time when the target symbol is changed in the target effect. The present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the re-gaming combinations 15 and 16 may be provided with a condition device for expecting winning of these combinations.

  In the present embodiment, the BAR design and the Seven 2 design are adopted to be adjacent to each other. However, even if they are not adjacent, the timing at which the Seven 2 design can be stopped among the stop timings aimed at the BAR design. Should just be included. For example, in FIG. 5, in the configuration in which the Seven 2 symbols are arranged above the BAR symbol, the greater the distance, the more difficult it is to stop the Seven 2 symbols when aiming at the BAR symbol. The player can be surprised because the reel-in amount increases. Also, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other on the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, and there is a stop timing at which both of them can be stopped. In, a BAR symbol and a Seven symbol may not be adjacent to each other. Note that the operation described with reference to FIG. 42 also holds in this configuration. In this manner, at least one reel (for example, the right reel 112 in FIG. 42) that can stop both the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may be provided, and the stop operation is performed on this reel. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which changes aiming effect at timing. Also, in the operation of FIG. 43, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other on the right reel 112.

  In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 41 to 44, the configuration using the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol has been described, but the symbol to be used is not limited to this. Further, the winning combination is not limited to the replaying combination, and various combinations can be used. Further, in this example, the operation of the aimed effect is configured to be performed when the transition to the AT state is notified, but the application scene of this operation is not limited to this example. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of AT remaining games is increased when the condition device numbers 2 to 4 are internally won in the specialization zone, but the effect aimed at when the condition device is internally won is executed. It may be configured.

  Here, an example in which a target effect configuration is combined with a bonus will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, a configuration is adopted in which a big bonus is won with “7-7-7” and a regular bonus is won with “7-7-BAR”. In this configuration, when the bonus is determined, as shown in FIG. 45 (a), the display that can be either the big bonus or the regular bonus is executed until all the reels stop. Here, when seven symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the left reel, the big bonus is determined (first certainty). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 45 (b), the BAR symbol displayed on the screen is erased at the stage of the first certainty, and the big bonus decision is notified. Also, for example, when the big bonus is established, by performing a stop operation when the seven symbols are located at the upper left, the seven symbols are stopped at the upper left and the big bonus is determined, while the big bonus is determined. When there are seven symbols, the seven symbols are drawn to the middle left, and the big bonus is not fixed. In the case of the specification that allows the determination of the symbol, the instruction of the symbol to be aimed by performing the operation may be changed as in the present embodiment.

[Aiming effect when moving to specialization zone]
In the present embodiment, when the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 19A) is won in the AT state, the blue 7 right is acquired. When one of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4 is internally won in a state where the Blue 7 right has been acquired, the process shifts to the specialization zone (step S1D11 in FIG. 25A). On the other hand, if any one of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4 is internally won in a state where the blue 7 right has been acquired, an aiming effect that prompts a stop operation for causing the replaying player 6 to win a prize is executed (FIG. 34 (a) ) Step S3409). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.

  Here, a case will be described in which the condition device number 2 is internally won with the blue 7 right acquired. In this case, as shown in FIG. 46 (a), the aiming effect indicating that the stop operation is performed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left and aiming at the seven-one symbol is executed. Here, the condition device number 2 has been internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the Seven 1 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the replaying game 6 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect prompting this stop operation. FIG. 46B shows that as a result of performing the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, the player has won the replaying game 6. Also, at this time, it is shown that a special zone entry effect indicating the shift to the special zone is being executed (step S3411 in FIG. 34A).

  As described in the example of FIG. 41, when the condition device number 2 is internally won, the left first stop or the middle first stop wins the replaying game 2 and the right first stop restarts. Win one of the game roles 1, 3 to 10. It should be noted that there are seven symbol designs, seven symbol symbols, and BAR symbol symbols as symbol candidates constituting winning combinations, and when these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are stopped with priority. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 46 (b), not only the re-playing part 6 is awarded according to the aiming effect, but also the BAR symbol is aimed without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 46 (c). It is also possible to make the re-game player 10 win a prize. The route shown in FIG. 46 (d) shows that the player has won the re-game combination 1. In any case, after all the reels have been stopped, a special zone entry effect indicating the shift to the special zone is executed (step S3411 in FIG. 34A).

  In FIG. 46, the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won has been described. However, the same aiming effect is executed when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won. If the condition device number 3 is internally won, the first left stop or the middle first stop wins the replaying game 2 and the right first stop wins the replaying game 1, 3-6, 11-13. , 16. If the condition device number 3 is internally won, the left first stop or the middle first stop wins the replaying game 2 and the right first stop plays the replaying game 1, 3-7, 9 , 14, or 15. Accordingly, when the condition device number 3 or 4 is internally won, the stop operation is performed in accordance with the aiming effect in the same manner as in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won, so that the replaying game 6 can be won. In addition, even if it does not follow the aiming effect, it shifts to the specialization zone regardless of the winning combination, and the special zone entry effect is executed. Therefore, for example, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, it is also possible to aim at the seven second symbol and make the re-game player 16 win a prize without following the aiming effect.

[About aiming production in specialization zone]
In the present embodiment, if the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4 are internally won in the specialization zone, the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 19B, FIG. 20D). On the other hand, if any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 is internally won in the specialization zone, an aiming effect for prompting a stop operation for winning a specific combination is executed (step S3425 in FIG. 34B). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

  First, the case in which the condition device number 2 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), the aiming effect is performed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left and suggesting that a stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol. Here, the condition device number 2 has been internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game player 10 can win. The aiming effect here is an effect prompting this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 47B, it is shown that as a result of performing the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, the player has won the re-gaming combination 10. Here, the number of AT remaining games is increased by 10 games due to the internal winning of the condition device number 2 (FIG. 20 (d)). However, in the route of FIG. This indicates that a successful effect indicating an added value is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35).

  As described in the example of FIG. 41, when the condition device number 2 is internally won, the left first stop or the middle first stop wins the replaying game 2 and the right first stop restarts. Win one of the game roles 1, 3 to 10. It should be noted that there are seven symbol designs, seven symbol symbols, and BAR symbol symbols as symbol candidates constituting winning combinations, and when these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are stopped with priority. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 47 (b), not only is the re-playing part 10 made to win according to the aiming effect, but also the Seven 1 symbol is aimed without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 47 (d). May be made to win the replaying game 6. Further, the route of FIG. 47 (c) indicates that the re-gaming combination 1 has been won. In the present embodiment, the successful effect is executed not only when the player wins the replaying game 10 but also when the player wins the replaying game 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). In the route of FIG. 47D, it is shown that a successful effect indicating an additional value is executed together with the winning of the re-game combination 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). Further, the route in FIG. 47 (c) shows that a failure effect is executed when the player has won the replaying game 1 (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

  Next, a case in which the condition device number 3 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 48 (a), the aiming effect is performed on the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left, and suggesting that a stop operation is performed aiming at the seven second symbol. Here, the condition device number 3 has been internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game player 16 can win. The aiming effect here is an effect prompting this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 48B, it is shown that as a result of the stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect, the re-gaming combination 16 is won. In this case, the remaining number of ATs is added to 30 games by internally winning the condition device number 3 (FIG. 20D). However, in the route of FIG. This indicates that a successful effect indicating an added value is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35).

  As described in the example of FIG. 42, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, the left first stop or the middle first stop wins the replaying game 2 and the right first stop stops the replay. One of the gaming combinations 1, 3 to 6, 11 to 13, and 16 is won. It should be noted that there are seven symbol designs, seven symbol symbols, and BAR symbol symbols as symbol candidates constituting winning combinations, and when these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are stopped with priority. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 48 (b), not only is the re-playing role 16 made to win according to the aiming effect, but the Seven 1 symbol is aimed without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 48 (d). May be made to win the replaying game 6. Further, the route of FIG. 48 (c) shows that the re-gaming combination 1 has been won. In the present embodiment, the successful effect is executed not only when the player wins the replaying game 16 but also when the player wins the replaying game 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). However, in the case of the winning of the re-game combination 6, a value (here, 10) smaller than 30 which is the number of added games is displayed. In the route of FIG. 48D, it is shown that a successful effect indicating the addition of 10 games is being executed together with the winning of the re-game combination 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). Further, the route of FIG. 48 (c) shows that a failure effect is executed when the player wins the replaying game 1 (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

  In addition, even if the internal winning is made to the condition device number 1, the aiming effect (similar to FIG. 47) is executed, but neither the re-gamer 6 nor the re-gamer 10 is won, and the number of AT remaining games is added. Is not performed, a failure effect is executed regardless of the stop mode (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

  In addition, although the aiming effect in the case of internally winning the condition device number 4 is not shown, the effect may be the same as in FIG. 48, the effect in FIG. 43 may be diverted, and the replay An effect indicating the first right stop may be executed while displaying 15 symbol combinations. When the condition device number 4 is internally won, when the player wins the replaying game 15, a successful effect indicating the number of additional games is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35), and when the player wins the replaying game 6, the number of additional games is 30. A successful effect displaying a smaller value (here, 10) is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35), and a failure effect is executed when winning a role other than these (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

  In the above-mentioned operation, although a situation occurs in which the information is not reported in spite of the addition, the portion that is not reported is displayed when returning to the AT state. The timing is not limited to the timing of returning to the AT state, but may be the (apparent) final game in the AT state, the final game in the specialization zone, or the timing of winning a new additional lottery.

[Other configurations for aiming production in the specialization zone]
As described in the examples of FIG. 47 and FIG. 48, in the present embodiment, when a symbol (role) different from the symbol (role) aimed at is won, depending on the winning role, the symbol (role) originally aimed at In the same manner as in the case where the game is stopped, a case where the effect of giving the privilege is executed is provided, so that it is possible to acquire a new game property such that a design different from the aimed design is intentionally stopped. In the present embodiment, the number of additional games is notified when the player wins the replaying game 10 and when the player wins the replaying game 6, but the symbol (role) aimed at and a symbol different from this are indicated. The effect at the time of winning the (role) is not limited to the effect of notifying the number of additional games, but may be an effect of another privilege. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, benefits that are advantageous to the player (such as shifting to a favorable state, a longer period of the advantageous state that has already been set, etc.), as well as set values for the gaming table and internal gaming states. The information may be information on a game console. Further, for example, in a case where a user-specific environment is provided at the game console, image data or music data for customization, or information owned by a player may be provided. Information that is not related to the game, such as information such as images and music that can be downloaded on a portable terminal or the like, may be used as a privilege. Further, a combination of these may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the interval between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is arranged beyond the maximum pull-in range. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which these symbols are arranged adjacent to each other. However, if the distance between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is within the maximum pull-in range, it may be difficult to aim clearly because the other may stop while aiming at one. Therefore, when a configuration for stopping a symbol (combination) different from the symbol (combination) aimed at by the stop timing is adopted, it is preferable to configure as in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, different configurations are adopted in which the winning of the re-gaming combination 1, the re-gaming combination 6, and the re-gaming combination 10 is different depending on the operation timing. However, the operation for changing the symbols to be stopped and the combination is different. The conditions are not limited, and may be changed, for example, using the operation order. In the case where the operation order is made different, another role is aimed at by an operation order different from the suggested operation order.

  In the example of FIG. 47, the same number of additional games is reported in both the case where the player has won the replaying game 10 and the case where the player has won the replaying game 6, but in the example of FIG. Different numbers of additional games are notified when a prize is won and when a replay is won. As described above, the effect of winning a symbol (role) different from the aimed symbol (role) may be the same as that of winning the symbol (role) aimed at, or may be different. Is also good. For example, when a symbol (role) different from the aimed symbol (role) is stopped, a display different from that when the aimed symbol (role) is stopped (or added) is performed, so that the set value or the internal Information about a game such as a state may be suggested. FIG. 49 shows an example in which an image indicating the set value is displayed in addition to the notification of the number of additional games as a modification of the route in FIG. 47 (d). Further, a specific image may be displayed only when a symbol (combination) different from the aimed design (combination) stops. With these configurations, it is possible to provide the player with pleasure when not aiming at the symbol.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 46, for the re-game combination 6, there is provided an opportunity to separately perform an effect aiming at this. This configuration may give the impression that the replaying combination 6 is a special combination. In particular, in this embodiment, the frequency of the aiming effect in FIG. 46 is lower than the frequency in FIGS. 47 and 48 (the winning probability in FIG. 20C is lower than the winning probability of the condition device number in FIG. 20D). , Can give such an impression more strongly. By giving this impression, it is possible to give the player a pleasure to dare to aim at a symbol different from the symbol suggested in the case of FIG. 47 or FIG.

≪Other≫
In the present embodiment, a configuration is used in which the internal winning probability of the replaying game does not change. However, the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 49 and their modifications can also be applied to a configuration in which a so-called RT is provided. is there. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the bonus combination is not provided is used. However, the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 49 and their modifications are also applicable to the configuration in which the bonus combination is provided. is there. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 41 to 49, the configuration using the condition device that wins the replaying combination of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 has been described. is not.

  In the present embodiment, as the limit of the state B, there are adopted two states, that the state B continues for 1500 games and that the net increase in number from the minimum value exceeds 2400, but this numerical value is predetermined. Can be used arbitrarily.

  Further, the state B is an example of a game state in which an end condition (limit) different from the main end condition is provided for the player and is advantageous to the player, but is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment. .

  For example, a configuration in which the AT (or AR) is terminated when the number of remaining AT games satisfies the termination condition, and a configuration in which the AT (or AR) is terminated (forced termination) even though the AT (or AR) does not satisfy the termination condition. If adopted, the automatic settlement or the stop may be executed when the condition for forced termination is satisfied. Also, for example, when a configuration is adopted in which the bonus ends when the number of remaining games satisfies the end condition, and when the bonus is ended (forced end) even though the bonus does not satisfy the end condition, Automatic settlement or stop may be executed when the condition for forcibly terminating is satisfied. As described above, a case where a second gaming state (eg, state B, AT, bonus) which is more advantageous than the first gaming state (eg, state A, non-AT, non-bonus) is provided. Further, the automatic settlement or the stop may be executed according to the termination condition of the second game state. In this configuration, the termination condition can be grasped by executing the automatic settlement or the stop.

  In the present embodiment, the CZ, the AT state, and the specialized zone are adopted as the state in which the operation navigation is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and may be a so-called AR or the like. In addition, the configuration in which the period of the AT state is managed by the number of remaining games in the AT is adopted. May be adopted.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which flags and variables relating to this are initialized at the end of state B (step S1E21 in FIG. 26). Such information is not limited to the variables used in the present embodiment, and a configuration may be used in which various variables and flags are used to determine whether or not to execute the automatic payment and stop. For example, as a condition for activating the automatic settlement function, when the number of continuous games in the AT state is 200 or more, or when the number of operation navigations in the AT state is 50 or more, the difference between the start and the end of the AT state When the number of sheets is equal to or more than a certain number, such a method may be adopted. The timing for determining these conditions is not limited to the configuration for determining at the end of the advantageous section such as the state B, and the corresponding flag is set to ON when the above condition is satisfied, and the advantageous section is set. May be configured to execute the automatic settlement and stop according to this flag at the end of. When the variables and flags described here are adopted, these variables and flags are initialized when the state B ends.

  When the automatic settlement is executed, a signal may be output through the information output circuit 334. This signal may be configured to be output only when the automatic settlement function or the stop function is enabled. With this configuration, the player may be able to know that the automatic settlement function and the hitting function are enabled. Further, a signal may be output when the execution condition (= limiter reached) of the automatic settlement function or the stop function is satisfied regardless of the validity / invalidity. With this configuration, the number of times that the player has reached the limiter may be known in some cases.

  In addition to the automatic settlement function, in addition to paying out the stored game media (medals), information to be provided for the stored games may be stored in an external recording medium (storage media). Transfer of game media records).

  Note that the state of the switch at the time of turning on the power is used for the validity / invalidity of the automatic settlement and stop functions. Therefore, for example, after the power is turned off immediately before reaching the limiter and reset to valid or invalid, when the power is turned on again and the limiter is reached, automatic settlement and stop are performed according to the reset state.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 100 using medals (coins) as a game medium is shown as an example of a gaming table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and gaming balls (for example, pachinko balls) may be played. The present invention can be applied to a slot machine, a pachinko machine, an arrangement ball game machine, a rocking ball game machine, a smart ball, and the like as a medium.

  In addition, the slot machine is a slot machine that operates on a portable terminal (smartphone, game machine) or a personal computer and only exchanges electronic data without using a medal, by a program that simulates an operation based on the above configuration. In this case, the game medium includes computerized data corresponding to a medal, and when the game medium is inserted, the computerized data is input from a predetermined external device (electronic storage device). The payout of the game medium includes outputting the digitized data to a predetermined external device (electronic storage device).

  Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiment of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Such modifications and changes are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Also, the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the invention merely enumerate the most preferable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are described in the embodiments of the present invention. It is not limited to what was done.
