A ROM 306 that stores arrays and stop positions, a RAM 308 that temporarily stores data, an I / O 310 that controls input / output of various devices, and a counter timer 312 that measures time, the number of times, and the like. And a WDT (Watch Dog Timer) 314 is mounted. Other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and the same applies to the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500, which will be described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency division data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 determines the interrupt time based on the received frequency division data. It is determined and an interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at each interrupt time. The CPU 304 executes monitoring of each sensor and transmission of drive pulses in response to this interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the division data of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256 × 47 ÷ 8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

  The main control unit 300 uses a random number generation circuit 316 that is used as a hardware random number counter that changes a numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 based on the clock signal input from the crystal oscillator 315a, and a start signal when the power is turned on.

It goes to L level each time a piece passes. Rotational position information indicating how much the reel is rotated from the reference position from once the L level is reached to the next L level is calculated based on the value obtained by counting the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b. To be done. When the CPU 304 detects the L level signal, the CPU 304 determines that the reel has rotated once, and resets the reel rotation position information to zero. This rotational position information is stored in the RAM 308 of the main controller 300.

It is configured.

<Type of winning combination>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing types of winning combinations (including working combinations), symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and payouts of each winning combination.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include re-playing combinations 1 to 16 and small winning combinations 1 to 19. The types of winning combinations are not limited to these winning combinations, and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the re-playing combinations 1 to 16 are combinations that allow re-playing without inserting new medals. The replay combinations 1 to 16 may be referred to as "operating combinations". Further, the "winning" in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of a winning combination without a medal payout (without a medal payout) is displayed on the activated line. For example, the re-gaming combination 1 Includes ~ 16 winnings.

  The re-play combinations 1 to 16 are winning combinations (operating combinations) that can be played in the next game without inserting medals (game media) in the next game by winning, and medals are not paid out.

  The above-mentioned re-play combinations 1 to 16 may be any combination that allows the player to play the next game without inserting medals. Therefore, for example, when the player wins the replay, the medals may be automatically inserted in the next game (reset the number of inserted medals in the medal insertion number storage area described later), or the medals inserted in the replay winning game. The medal thus played may be carried over to the next game as it is and used.

  The small prizes 1 to 19 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. As for the corresponding symbol combinations, Small Win 1 is “Seven 1-Cherry-Replay”, Small Win 2 is “Blank 1-Cherry-Replay”, and Small Win 3 is “Seven 1-Cherry-Seven 1”. Yes, small win 4 is "blank 1-cherry blank 1", small win 5 is "replay-watermelon-bell", small win 6 is "bell-blank 1-replay", and small win 7 Is "Bell-Blank 2-Replay", Small role 8 is "Bell-Seven 2-Replay", Small role 9 is "Bell-Seven 1-Replay", Small role 10 is "Blank 1-Replay" Replay-Seven 1 ", Small role 11 is" Blank 1-Replay-BAR ", Small role 12 is" Seven 2-Replay-Seven 1 ", Small role 13 is" Seven 2-Replay-BAR " The small role 14 is "Seven 1-Seven 1-Bell", the small role 15 is "Seven 2-Seven 1-Bell", and the small role 16 is "Seven 1-Seven 2-Bell". Yes, the small role 17 is “Seven 2-Seven 2-Bell”, the small role 18 is “Bell-Bell-Bell”, and the small role 19 is “Replay-Bell-Watermelon”. The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

  Of the above small wins, small wins 1 and 2 are “weak cherry”, small wins 3 and 4 are “strong cherry”, small win 5 is “watermelon”, and small wins 6 to 17 are “one win”. The small wins 18 and 19 may be referred to as "bells".

Incidentally, in the case of the first stop on the right, if the reel is operated to stop, Seven 1 symbol or Seven 2 symbol is a winning symbol composition symbol, and if this symbol is within the maximum withdrawal range, Stop the design preferentially.

  The condition device number 4 is a condition device in which the re-gaming combinations 1 to 7, 9, 14, and 15 are duplicated and internally won. In this condition device, the replay combination 2 (normal replay) is won by the left first stop and the middle first stop. Also, in the case of the first stop on the right, the re-gaming combination 1, 3 to 7, 9, 14, 15 (normal replay, blue 7 off replay, blue 7 replay, BAR off replay, peach 7 off replay, depending on the timing of the stop operation. Win one of the Momo 7 replays). Incidentally, in the case of the first stop on the right, the seven 1 symbol, the seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are the constituent symbols of the winning combination on the reel on which the stop operation is performed, and this symbol is within the maximum withdrawal range. For example, this symbol is stopped preferentially.

  The condition device number 5 is a condition device in which the small winning combinations 1 and 2 are overlapped and internally won. In this condition device, one of the small winning combinations 1 and 2 (weak cherry) is won depending on the timing of the stop operation.

  The condition device number 11 is a condition device that the small win 18 independently wins internally. In this condition device, a small prize 18 (bell) is won.

  The above-mentioned condition device numbers 8 to 10 define operating conditions (here, the pressing order, hereinafter the correct answer pressing order) for winning the bell (small win 18, 19). It should be noted that in the following description, the condition device numbers 8 to 10 may be collectively referred to as a push order bell. In the case where these condition device numbers 8 to 10 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the correct pressing order, the bell (small win 18, 19) is won. On the other hand, when the stop operation does not match the correct pressing order, one internally winning combination (small winning combinations 6 to 17) other than the bell (small winning combinations 18 and 19) is preferentially stopped. In the above configuration, if the stopping operation does not match the correct pressing order, it may be misaligned. However, if the stopping operation does not match the correct pressing order, for example, the above-mentioned one-piece winning combination is always won. It may be configured so that a prize is always won for some role.

<Type of game state>
Next, types of gaming states of the slot machine 100 and transitions thereof 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 specialized zone. By changing the state of, the degree of advantage is changed and the interest of the game is improved.

  FIG. 9 shows the four game states described above, and these transition conditions are described on the 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 for internal winning combinations in the case of setting values 1 and 6. In this figure, the vertical axis shows the condition device number of the internal winning combination (condition device), and the horizontal axis shows the set value, respectively. The set value and the lottery value corresponding to the internal winning combination (the range of the lottery data Size) is shown. Note that these lottery values are common to the four game states described above. If you do not internally win the condition device in the game, you lose and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. The fact that the symbol combination related to the winning on the winning line is not stopped may be referred to as "missing". In addition, there is a case in which not winning a part is expressed as "winning a loss".

  In the gaming state described below, the internal winning probability of the winning combination is the random number value obtained during the internal drawing, from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306, the numerical data corresponding to the range of the drawing data associated with each winning combination. It is obtained by a value divided by numerical data (for example, 65536) in the range. For example, with 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 thereof is 1200 / 65536≈1.83%.

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

  The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each winning combination or loss is associated with each numerical range. It is determined which random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery corresponds to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination (internal winning combination) is determined. Incidentally, a staff member of a game shop or the like can arbitrarily select and set any of the set values by using a set value switch (not shown).

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

<Normal state>
The normal state is the most unfavorable game state for the player. In the normal state, if the state B described later is set, pt can be acquired as the game progresses, and the cumulative acquisition pt increases (step S1247 in FIG. 16). In this embodiment, when the value of the pt high probability remaining game number, which will be described later, is larger than 0, the cumulative acquisition pt is likely to increase. In addition, if the number of pt high probability sets is set and this value is larger than 0, even if the number of remaining pt high probability games becomes 0, the number of pt high probability remaining games is added again, and the cumulative acquisition pt increases. It adopts a structure that keeps the easy state. In the following description, a state in which the pt high probability flag is on (a state in which the cumulative acquisition pt is likely to increase) is referred to as a high probability mode, and a state in which the pt high probability flag is off may be referred to as a normal mode. When the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 1000 pt or more, the chance zone transfer lottery and the AT direct hit lottery are executed in exchange for 1000 pt (step S1211 in FIG. 15). FIG. 9 shows that if the player wins the chance zone transfer lottery in the normal state, the player moves to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B05 in FIG. 24). Further, it is shown that if the AT direct hit lottery is won in the normal state, the AT state is entered (arrow (E) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B01 in FIG. 24). Further, it is shown that when the number of chance zone shift games set in the normal state elapses, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B09 in FIG. 24). As the number of chance zone transition games, the value set when the transition lottery in the state B described below is won in the normal state (step S1013 in FIG. 12) is used.

<Chance zone (CZ)>
The chance zone is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to make a profit than in the normal state and is more advantageous than in the normal state. In this chance zone, when the push order bells (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) are internally won, a notification of the correct stop operation sequence (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as operation navigation) corresponding to each is displayed (Fig. 22 step S1505 and FIG. 31 step S3005). It should be noted that this operation navigation is not limited to indicating the pressing order, and may be the one indicating the timing of the stop operation, such as a display such as "Aim at ...", or the pressing order and timing. Both may be shown. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push-order bell may be referred to as bell navigation. Note that, unlike the present embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which during CZ, the correct pressing order is displayed in 50% of winning conditions for the pressing order bell condition device. In this case, while the profit is less likely to be obtained (is disadvantageous) than the AT state, the player can be in a more advantageous state than the normal state.

  When the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, if the number of CZ remaining games is not 0, the game state shifts to the AT state by internally winning the corresponding condition device (Yes in step S1C01 of FIG. 25, or step S1C03. Yes). When the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 in a state where the AT lottery is won, the gaming state shifts to the AT state regardless of the result of the internal winning (even if the corresponding condition device is not internally won). (Yes in step S1C09 in FIG. 25). On the other hand, when the CZ remaining game number becomes 0 without winning the AT lottery, the game state shifts to the normal state (No in step S1C09 of FIG. 25). In FIG. 9, when the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (C) in FIG. 9), and when it is not won, the state shifts to the normal state (arrow (B) in FIG. 9). Has been shown.

<AT state>
The AT state is a state advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the specialized zone. In this AT state, similarly to the chance zone, when the internal push is selected for the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 10), the corresponding operation navigation is displayed, which is an advantageous state in which the player can easily make a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 22, step S3005 in FIG. 31). This AT state is managed by the number of remaining AT games, but this number of remaining AT games may be added by lottery (steps S1403 and S1405 in FIG. 20A). In this embodiment, the number of remaining AT games may be increased by clearing conditional addition (set in step S1409 of FIG. 20A) described later (step S1D03 of FIG. 24A). ..

  Furthermore, in the AT state, in the state where the special zone right lottery (step S1411 of FIG. 20A) is won and the blue 7 right is won, the gaming state becomes the special zone by internally winning the corresponding condition device. The process moves (step S1D11 in FIG. 26A). In FIG. 9, when the special zone transfer lottery is won in the AT state and the condition devices 2 to 4 are internally won, the special zone is moved (arrow (F) in FIG. 9) and the AT end condition (for example, , If the number of remaining AT games is 0), the normal state is entered (arrow (D) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1D13 of FIG. 26A).

<Specialized zone>
The specialized zone is a state advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the AT state. Similar to the chance zone and the AT state, in this specialized zone, the operation navigation corresponding to each of the push order bells (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) is displayed, which makes it easier for the player to make a profit. 22 (step S1505 in FIG. 22, step S3005 in FIG. 31). The number of remaining AT games is not subtracted in this specialized zone. In addition, the number of remaining AT games may be added (steps S1423 and S1425 in FIG. 20B).

  In FIG. 9, when the special zone end condition (for example, the specified number of games (20 games in the present embodiment) is satisfied in the special zone, the state is changed to the AT state (arrow (G) in FIG. 9, FIG. 26). (B), step S1D25) is shown. When the number of remaining AT games is 0 at the end of the specialization zone, the AT state is also ended and the state shifts to the normal state (step S1D27 in FIG. 26B).

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, in addition to the four game states described above, the current state is managed by being divided into a state A and a state B. The state A is the state at the start of the normal state, and also at the time of changing the setting or after the RAM is cleared. In this state A, if the transition lottery of the state B is won, the state B is set (step S1003 in FIG. 12). The condition for shifting to the state B is that the condition is to be shifted when the player is internally elected to some combination during the state A. In the present embodiment, since some combination is internally won with a probability of about 80%, the state B is configured with a high probability. When this state B is set, initial settings such as setting the number of CZ transition games for transition to the chance zone are executed (Yes in step S1005 of FIG. 12), and pt is in a state that can be acquired ( No in step S1001 of FIG. 12). That is, while the state A is set in the normal state, it is not possible to shift to a game state other than the normal state, and when the state B is set, it is possible to shift 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. 25, step S1D15 in FIG. 26A, step S1D27 in FIG. 26B, step S1E21 in FIG. 27). In the state B, the notification of the stop operation sequence (operation navigation) may be executed for the internally won combination, and in the state A, the operation navigation is not displayed.

  As described above, when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to a state that is advantageous to the player, but if the state B continues for a long period of time, excessive profit is obtained, or even if the state is short, many By earning profits, there is a risk of fueling euphoria. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation, the following two conditions are separately provided as the condition for ending the state B. The first is a case where 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 the state B can continue (step S1E09 in FIG. 27). When No determination is made in step S1E03 of the next game, the result is Yes and the state A is entered). The second is a case where a predetermined net increase (for example, 2400) of medals is won from the time when the net increase is the lowest, and this is managed using the MY counter (FIG. 28 (a)). If Yes is determined in step S1F21, the result is Yes in the subsequent step S1E03, and the state A is entered).

  In this embodiment, the state B flag is used to distinguish between the state A and the state B. If the state B flag is off, the state A is shown, and if the state B flag is on, the state B is shown.

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

<Main processing of main controller>
First, the main control section main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control section 300 will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that this figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main processing of the main control unit.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the activation signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs the activation signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302, to which this activation signal is input, performs a reset start by a reset interrupt and executes the main control unit main processing 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 made in step S101. In this initial setting, the stack initial value is set to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, the setting of interrupt prohibition, the initial setting of the I / O 310, the initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, the operation permission and the initial setting to the WDT 314. Set values etc.

  In step S103, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted (care or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132), and the pay line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the insertion of the medal. When a medal is thrown in, preparation is made to send a throwing command indicating this. When a player wins a replay in the previous game, the 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. In addition, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated while a specified number of medals have been used, and if the start lever 135 has been operated, the number of inserted medals and the effective winning line are determined, and the game is played. To start.

  In step S105, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read out, and an internal lottery (lottery of a combination) is performed using this and the random number value obtained from the random number value generation circuit 316 to determine an internal winning combination. As a result of the internal lottery, when any 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, the processing according to each game state and the processing regarding the display of the operation navigation are performed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S111, the reels 110 to 112 are started to rotate on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted in the timer updating process described later) is 0, and an initial value is set in the game interval timer. At the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, preparations are made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub control unit 400. After that, the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, the optical sensor provided on each reel is detected, and when the symbol position of each reel is grasped, the stop operation to the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. By the game interval counter, the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in this embodiment) is secured, and the gambling property is suppressed.

  In step S113, reel stop control processing is executed. In this process, when 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, every 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 pull-in frames set in the stop table. Further, for the first stop operation, the reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared, and for the second stop operation, the reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared. It should be noted that preparation is made for transmitting a corresponding command (first to third pressing commands) to the first sub-control unit 400 for each stop operation, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the corresponding command (first command). (1 to 3 stop command) is prepared to be transmitted to the first sub control unit 400. When all reels 110 to 112 have stopped, the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, winning determination processing 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" are available on the activated winning line, it is determined that the player has won the bell (small win 23). After determining the winning combination, preparation for transmitting the winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed.

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

  In step S119, a game state update process is performed. Here, based on the result of the game, start preparation and end processing of state B, and status update relating to state B are performed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  This completes one game. After that, the game proceeds by returning to step S103 and repeating the above-described processing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the details of the game start state processing (step S109) in the main control unit main processing of FIG. 11 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the game start state processing (step S109) in FIG.

  First, in step S1001 executed first, it is determined whether or not the state B flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1003, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1031.

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

  In step S1005, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1003 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1007, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1041.

  In step S1007, the state B flag is set to on, and the number of games in which the 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 other constants may be used, and the value is not limited to a 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 process proceeds to step S1011.

  In step S1011, the mode is set with reference to the table in FIG. In this 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 this mode. Here, for example, when the set value is 1, the probability that the mode A is selected is 70%, the probability that the mode B is set is 20%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 10%. .. The higher the setting, the higher the transition rate to the mode C may be set, and the mode lottery probability may be different for each setting. Also, the mode that is most likely to be 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 transition mode, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 201 to 300 is 10%. Further, 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%. It should be noted that the number of CZ transition games is selected by a further lottery in any one of these numerical ranges, and the lottery probability at this time may be even within the numerical range or within the numerical range. A bias may be provided so that a specific range or specific value can be easily (or less easily) selected. In the present embodiment, when the number of CZ transition games set here has elapsed without transitioning to CZ after the state B is set in the normal state, the transition to CZ is performed.

  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 state B elapsed game count is set to 0, and the flow advances to step S1019.

  In step S1019, the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is set to 10, and the process proceeds to step S1041.

  In step S1031, the game start state B related processing is executed, and the flow proceeds to step S1041. The details of this state B transition processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1041, preparation for transmitting the internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed, and the game start state processing is ended. The internal winning command includes the conditionally selected condition device number, the gaming state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of CZ remaining games, the number of remaining AT games and the number of additional games, the number of specialized zone remaining games), and the acquired pt. And accumulated pt, pt high probability remaining game number, pt high probability set number, presence / absence of execution of CZ lottery and AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 15), state B flag, pt high probability flag, state B elapsed game Information such as the number, the number of CZ transition games, the condition of the conditional addition flag, the condition for clearing the conditional addition, the presence or absence of various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right, blue 7 right), instruction information, and the like.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, details of the game start state B-related processing (step S1031) in the game start state processing of FIG. 12 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the game start state B related processing (step S1031) in FIG.

  First, in step S1101 that is first executed, it is determined whether the game state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1103, and if not, 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, and if not, 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, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1113.

  In step S1111, AT-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 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, the instruction information setting process is executed, and the game start state B related process is ended. This instruction information setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, details of the normal related process (step S1103) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 14 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the normal related processing (step S1103) in FIG.

  First, in the first step S1201, it is determined whether or not the 1000pt arrival flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1211, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1203.

  In step S1203, the pt high probability set number lottery is executed. In the pt high probability set number lottery, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 17C are used. For example, the condition device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, condition device number 5) wins the pt high probability set number lottery with a probability of 20%. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1205, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1203 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1207, and if not, the process proceeds to step 1221.

  In step S1207, the value of the pt high probability set number is added. In determining the value to be added here, the current set value and the table in FIG. 17D are used. For example, when the set value is 1, 1 is added with a probability of 75% and 2 is added with a probability of 25%. Then, it progresses to step S1209.

  In step S1209, the pt high probability flag is set to ON, and the process proceeds to step S1221.

  In step S1211, a lottery (CZ lottery, AT lottery) as to whether or not to set the CZ and AT states is executed. The table of FIG. 18A is used for these lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 4, the CZ lottery is won with a probability of 20%, and the AT lottery is won with a probability of 5%.

  In step S1213, 1000 is subtracted from the value of the cumulative acquisition pt, and the process proceeds to step S1215.

  In step S1215, the 1000 pt arrival flag is set to off, and the process proceeds to step S1217.

  In step S1217, the value of the pt high probability set number is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step S1219.

  In step s1219, the pt high probability flag is set to off, and the process proceeds to step S1221.

  In step S1221, pt acquisition-related processing is executed, and the flow advances to step S1231. The details of this pt acquisition-related processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1231, 1 is added to the value of the state B elapsed game count, and the flow proceeds to step S1233.

  In step S1233, it is determined whether or not the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is larger than 0. If this condition is satisfied, this normal related process is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1235.

  In step S1235, it is determined whether the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is 1000 pt or more. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1237, and if not, this normal related process is ended.

  In step S1237, the 1000 pt arrival flag is set to ON, and this normal related process ends.

  Next, details of the pt acquisition-related process (step S1221) in the normal-related process of FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the pt acquisition-related processing (step S1221) in FIG.

  First, in the first step S1241, it is determined whether or not the pt high probability flag is ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1243, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1245.

  In step S1243, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the 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, in the condition device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, condition device number 1), 10 pt is obtained with a probability of 80% and 20 pt is obtained with a probability of 20%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

  In step S1245, the pt lottery (normal mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 17A are used. For example, the condition device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, condition device number 1) acquires 5pt with a probability of 15% and 10pt with a probability of 5%. Note that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

  In step S1247, the pt acquired in step S1243 or step S1245 is added to the cumulative acquisition pt, and the process proceeds to step S1251.

  In step S1251, it is determined whether or not the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is larger than 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1253, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1255.

  In step S1253, the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is decremented by 1, and the pt acquisition-related processing ends.

  In step S1255, it is determined whether the pt high probability set number is greater than 0. If this condition is satisfied, the flow proceeds to step S1257, and if not, the pt acquisition-related processing ends.

  In step S1257, the value of the pt high probability set number is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1259.

  In step S1259, 10 is added to the value of the pt high probability remaining game number, and the process proceeds to step S1253.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, details of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in the game start state B related processing of FIG. 14 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in FIG.

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

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

  In step S1305, a lottery (AT lottery) for setting the AT state is performed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 18B are used. For example, the condition device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, condition device number 5) wins the AT lottery with a probability of 20%. When the lottery here is won, subsequently, a lottery (sorting lottery) for acquiring either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is executed. The table of FIG. 18C is used for this lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 5, the BAR right is acquired with a probability of 80% and the peach 7 right is acquired with a probability of 20%. When the AT lottery is won in the processing here, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired. Although the AT lottery has one stage in the present embodiment, for example, when the lottery is won a plurality of times (for example, three times), the AT state may be set. Further, in this configuration, it is possible to confirm that the player will shift to the AT state even if he / she has not won a plurality of times when the peach 7 right is acquired. In addition, the BAR right acquisition lottery may be performed, and winning the re-gaming combination 10 with the BAR right acquired may be counted as one of a plurality of winnings.

  Next, 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. The figure 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, the lottery for adding the number of remaining AT games is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 21A are used. For example, in the case where the condition device (for example, condition device number 7) corresponding to the lottery type D is internally won, the AT remaining game number is added with a probability of 40%, and the breakdown is 10% with a probability of 90%. It is 20 with a 10% probability. It should be noted that the probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery for adding the number of remaining AT games is executed for all the condition devices, but the lottery may not be executed for some condition devices.

  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 or not the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1411, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1409.

  In step S1409, conditional addition lottery is executed. Here, the additional lottery for the number of remaining AT games obtained at the time of clearing conditional addition (details will be described later) is executed. In this lottery, the table of FIG. 21 (b) is used, 10 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 20%, 20 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 5%, and a probability of 5% is selected. In, 30 games are selected as the number of additional games, and with the probability of 0.1%, 100 games are selected as the number of additional games. It should be noted that the probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the conditional addition lottery is executed for all the condition devices, but this condition may not be executed depending on the condition device. When this conditional addition bonus is won, the conditional addition flag is set to ON, and the lottery for the conditional addition clear condition is executed. Then, it progresses to step S1411.

  In step S1411, a lottery (specialized zone right lottery) as to whether or not to acquire the right to move to the specialized zone is executed. The right to be obtained when winning this lottery is referred to as Blue 7 right. The table of FIG. 21C is used for this lottery. For example, if the set value is set to 1 to 5, the right of BLUE 7 is acquired with a probability of 0.05%. It should be noted that the probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the special zone right lottery is executed for all the condition devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the condition device. After this lottery, the AT-related processing is ended.

  Next, the details of the specialization related process (step S1113) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the specialization related process (step S1113) in FIG.

<Main controller 300 timer interrupt process>
Next, the main controller timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main controller 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main controller timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process starts at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, the value of each register of the CPU 304 is temporarily saved in the stack area.

  In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically (so that the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) so that the WDT interrupt does not occur (not to detect abnormal processing). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main controller timer interrupt.

  In step S205, an input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update processing, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input port of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence / absence of the detection signals, and the RAM 308 is partitioned for each of the various sensors 318. It is stored in the provided signal state storage area. The state of the optical sensor is confirmed by this processing.

  In step S207, various game processes are executed, and processes according to the interrupt status are executed.

  In step S209, timer update processing is performed. For example, a process of updating various timers for each time unit, such as subtracting the game interval timer, is executed.

  In step S211, a command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands prepared for transmission in the main process of the main control unit 300, the timer interrupt process, and the like are transmitted to the first sub control unit 400. The output schedule information transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, and bit 15 is strobe information (when ON, indicates that data is set), bit 11 -14 are command types (in the present embodiment, basic commands, bet commands, start lever acceptance commands, internal winning commands, reel rotation start commands associated with the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, operation of stop buttons 137 to 139) 1st to 3rd press command, 1st to 3rd stop command accompanying stop of reels 110 to 112, winning command, payout number command and payout completion command associated with medal payout process, game state update command), bit 0 -10 are composed of command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, the command type included in the received output schedule information makes it possible to determine the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300, and is included in the output schedule information. The effect control content can be determined based on the information of the command data.

  In step S213, external signal setting processing is performed. In this external signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334. For example, when the state B is set, a signal indicating this (state B signal) is output.

  In step S215, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read to monitor the presence / absence of an error relating to a medal insertion abnormality, a medal payout abnormality, and the like, and when an error is detected, (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current game state.

  In step S217, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. When the low voltage signal is received (when power cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S221. When the low voltage signal is not received (power cutoff is not detected), step S219 is performed. move on.

  In step S219, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end processing, processing such as setting the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 in each original register is performed. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S221, information (restore data) that needs to be saved, such as specific variables and stack pointers for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery, is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and the used area of the RAM 308 is used. The checksum value for a predetermined area including at least is stored in the RAM 308, and the power flag indicating that the power interruption process has been performed is set to ON.

<Process of the first sub control unit 400>
Next, the processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 30A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 30B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 30C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step S301, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S301. In this initialization processing, the input / output ports are initialized and the storage area in the RAM 408 is initialized. In this process, the RAM 408 is provided with an area for storing internal winning information, which is information indicating a result of internal winning, and an area for storing RT update information, which is information indicating a gaming state. The value of the display pt is set to 0 regardless of the value of the cumulative acquisition pt in the main control unit 300. At this time, there may be a difference between the value of the cumulative acquisition pt and the value of the display pt. This shift is resolved when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 or when the state B ends (when the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are both initialized, the state is newly shifted to the state B). become). In addition, instead of displaying the value of the display pt during the period in which this deviation occurs ,? ? ? It is also possible to employ a configuration in which the value such as is not known is displayed or the value of the display pt is not displayed.

  When the setting is changed or the RAM 308 is cleared (when there is no return data in the main control unit 300), the normal default background (hereinafter, normal background) is set as the background and the morning flag is set to ON. It If there is return data, the display is set according to the state before the power failure. For example, in the normal state (regardless of the state A, the state B, the normal mode, and the high probability mode), the normal background is set. For the CZ, AT state, and specialized zone, the number of remaining games, the background corresponding to each, and the like are set to restore the state before the power failure. If the state before the power failure is the normal state, the morning flag is set to ON. After the power is turned on, the demo screen may be displayed regardless of the setting change.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305.

  In step S305, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S307, command processing, which is processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300, is executed. Details of this command processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S309, effect control processing is performed. Here, according to the effect reservation information within the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408, preparation for effect is performed. This preparation includes, for example, performing processing such as reading effect data from the ROM 406, and performing effect data update processing when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S311, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if the effect data read in step S309 includes a command to the sound source IC 418, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S313, lamp control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if the effect data read out in step S309 includes an instruction to various lamps 420, this instruction is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S315, shutter control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if the effect data read in step S309 includes a shutter control command, shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

  In step S317, information output processing is performed to set the transmission of the control command to the second sub control unit 500 based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if the effect data read in step S309 includes a control command to be transmitted to the second sub control unit 500, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S303.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed by the first sub control unit 400 when the strobe signal output from the main control unit 300 is detected. In step S321 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub-control unit timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once in the present embodiment, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined when the timer interrupt is triggered. To be executed in the cycle.

  In step S331, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub-control unit main processing shown in FIG. 30A, and the value is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S333, the device data is transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 set in step S315, and the effect random number updating process is performed.

  Next, the command processing (step S307) in the first sub-control unit main processing of FIG. 30A will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The figure is a flowchart of the command processing (step S307) in FIG.

  In step S343, command processing, which is processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300, is executed. Of these processes, the process when an internal winning command is received will be described later with reference to FIG. Further, the processing when the game state update command is received will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the details of the internal winning command process (step S343) when the internal winning command is received in the command process of FIG. 30D will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the internal winning command processing (step S343) when the internal winning command is received in FIG.

  First, in step S3001, which is executed first, the game information included in the internal winning command is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3003. The information acquired here includes the condition device number internally won, the gaming state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of CZ remaining games, the number of remaining AT games and the number of additional games, the number of specialized zone remaining games), the acquired pt and Accumulated pt, pt high probability remaining game number, pt high probability set number, CZ lottery and AT lottery (step S1211 of FIG. 15) execution and result, state B flag, pt high probability flag, state B elapsed game number , The number of CZ transition games, the condition of the conditional addition flag, the conditional addition clear condition, the presence or absence of various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right, blue 7 right), instruction information, and the like.

  In step S3003, it is determined whether the instruction information is acquired in step S3001. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3005, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3005.

  In step S3005, effect data for executing the operation navigation is set based on the condition device number and the instruction information acquired in step S3001.

  In step S3007, it is determined whether or not the morning flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3009, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3013.

  In step S3009, it is determined whether or not the morning flag clearing condition is met. In the present embodiment, the C1 lottery or the AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 15) is executed, so that the morning flag release condition is satisfied. In addition, when 30 or more games have passed since the power was turned on, in the normal state and in the normal mode (the pt high probability flag is off), the morning one flag release condition is satisfied. The number of games that have passed since the power was turned on may be determined using the information transmitted from the main control unit 300 or the value counted by the first sub control unit 400. If the morning flag clearing condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3011, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3013.

  In step S3011, the morning flag is set to off, and the process proceeds to step S3013.

  In step S3013, processing for setting an effect according to the state of the game (effect setting processing for each state) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S3015. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S3015, in addition to the processing described above, the processing at the time of receiving the internal winning command is executed, and this processing ends.

  Next, details of the effect setting process (step S3013) for each state in the internal winning command process of FIG. 31 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the effect setting process (step S3013) for each state in FIG.

  First, in step S3101, which is executed first, it is determined whether the game state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3103, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3105.

  In step S3103, the effect setting process during CZ is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is ended. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 34.

  In step S3105, it is determined whether the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3107, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3109.

  In step S3107, the production setting process during AT is executed, and the production setting process for each state is ended. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S3109, it is determined whether the game state is the specialization zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3111, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3113.

  In step S3111, the specialization effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is ended. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S3113, it is determined whether the morning flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3115, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3117.

  In step S3115, the morning one effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is ended. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S3117, it is determined whether the gaming state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3119, and if not, the effect setting process for each state is ended.

  In step S3119, the normal medium effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is ended. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the details of the morning one effect setting process (step S3115) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the morning one effect setting process (step S3115) in FIG.

  First, in step S3201, which is executed first, it is determined whether or not the value of the display pt is smaller than 995. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3203, and if not, the morning one effect setting process ends.

  In step S3203, a false pt addition effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the ROM 406 of the first sub-control unit 400 stores the same table as in FIG. 17A, and the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8). The pt lottery is executed using the table. This lottery process is the same process as the pt lottery in the main control unit 300 (step S1245 in FIG. 16), but the pt derived here is used only for production. If there is a pt derived in this lottery, this pt is added to the value of the display pt and the value of this display pt is displayed. As a result, the normal mode can be made to appear to be set regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquisition pt and its value. It should be noted that the table used for the pt lottery here may be any table as long as it can appear as if the normal mode is set. For example, the lottery probabilities may be slightly different, and may not necessarily be the same as the pt lottery table in the main control unit 300. If the value exceeds 995 when the display pt is added, the value of the display pt is set to 995 (the maximum value of the display pt is set to 995). In addition, for example, when the display pt exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 500), the display pt is increased by decreasing the frequency of addition of the display pt or decreasing the added pt. You may employ the structure which makes it difficult. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the display pt is not added when the display pt exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 950).

  Next, the details of the normal production effect setting process (step S3119) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the normal production effect setting process (step S3119) in FIG.

  First, in step S3211, which is executed first, it is determined whether or not the pt high probability flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3213, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3215.

  In step S3213, the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is set to be displayed (updated), and the process proceeds to step S3215.

  In step S3215, it is determined whether or not pt (obtained by the lottery in step S1243 or step S1245 in FIG. 16) is acquired. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3217, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3219.

  In step S3217, the pt addition effect is executed. Specifically, an effect is set by adding the acquired pt to the current display pt value, and displaying the acquired pt and the display pt value to show that the acquired pt is added. After that, the process advances to step S3219.

  In step S3219, it is determined whether the CZ lottery and the AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 15) have been executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3221, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3223.

  In step S3221, a lottery effect (an effect that expects a transition to the CZ or AT state) is set, and the flow proceeds to step S3223. When setting the effect, the current cumulative acquisition pt value is set as the display pt value.

  In step S3223, it is determined whether or not the value of the state B elapsed game number is greater than or equal to the CZ transition game number value. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3225, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3227.

  In step S3225, a CZ rush effect (effect that indicates shifting to the chance zone) is set, and the process proceeds to step S3227. When setting this effect, the already set effect is overwritten (discarded).

  In step S3227, effects other than those described above (for example, setting of a background image according to the high-probability mode or the normal mode) are appropriately set, and the normal-time effect setting process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 34, details of the CZ mid-stage effect setting process (step S3103) in the effect setting process for each state in FIG. 32 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the CZ production effect setting process (step S3103) in FIG.

  First, in step S3301, which is executed first, an effect for displaying the current number of remaining CZ games is set. If there is the CZ remaining game number previously displayed, the subtraction from that value to the current CZ remaining game number is displayed.

  In step S3303, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery (step S1305 in FIG. 19) has been won (obtained BAR right or peach 7 right). If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3305, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3313.

  In step S3305, it is determined whether the condition device corresponding to the right acquired by the AT lottery is internally won. Specifically, when the BAR right is acquired, it is determined whether or not the condition device number 2 is internally won, and when the peach 7 right is acquired, whether or not the condition device number 3 or 4 is internally won. To be judged. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3307, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3311.

  In step S3307, an aiming effect (an effect that urges the player to aim for a specific role) is set. Specifically, when the BAR right is acquired, the production order for prompting the player to aim for the BAR symbol is set in the right first stop operation sequence, and when the peach 7 right is acquired, the right first stop is set. In the operation sequence of one stop, and the effect of appropriately aiming the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol is set. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3309. Note that this aiming effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 52 to 55.

  In step S3309, an AT winning effect (an effect that indicates winning the AT lottery) is set. The AT winning effect set here is executed at a timing after all reels have stopped.

  In step S3311, it is determined whether the number of remaining CZ games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3309, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3317.

  In step S3313, it is determined whether the number of remaining CZ games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3315, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3317.

  In step S3315, a CZ end effect (effect indicating that CZ has ended) is set. The CZ end effect set here is executed at a timing after all reels have stopped.

  In step S3317, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the CZ mid effect setting process is ended. In this process, when the condition device number 1 is internally won, an effect that prompts the player to aim for the BAR symbol may be set in the operation sequence of the first right stop.

  Next, the details of the in-AT effect setting process (step S3107) in the effect setting process for each state in FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart of the production setting process during AT (step S3107) in FIG.

  First, in step S3401, which is executed first, an effect for displaying the current number of remaining AT games is set. If there is the AT remaining game number previously displayed, the subtraction from that value to the current AT remaining game number is displayed.

  In step S3403, it is determined whether or not the player has won the AT additional lottery (step S1403 in FIG. 20A). If this condition is satisfied, the procedure proceeds to step S3405, and if not, the procedure proceeds to step S3407.

  In step S3405, the addition effect according to the number of games acquired by the AT addition lottery is set, and the process proceeds to step S3407.

  In step S3407, it is determined whether the special zone shift condition is satisfied. The special zone shift condition is established by winning the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20A) and then internally winning the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3409, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3413.

  In step S3409, an aiming effect (an effect that urges the player to aim for a specific role) is set. Specifically, in the operation sequence of the first stop on the right side, an effect is set to prompt the player to aim for the blue 7 symbol. After this processing, the process advances to step S3411.

  In step S3411, a special zone entry effect (effect indicating that the special zone has been entered) is set. The special zone entry effect set here is executed at a timing after all reels have stopped. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3417.

  In step S3413, it is determined whether the number of remaining AT games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3415, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3417.

  In step S3415, an AT state end effect (effect indicating that the AT state has ended) is set. The AT state end effect set here is executed at a timing after all reels have stopped.

  In step S3417, effects other than those described above are set as appropriate, and the AT effect setting process ends. In this process, when the condition device number 1 is internally elected, an effect is set in the operation order of the first stop on the right side and urged to aim at the blue 7 symbol. Further, in the game immediately after the conditional addition flag is turned on, a conditional addition effect may be set. When displaying the value of the number of remaining AT games, the first sub-control unit 400 separately manages a value for display, and using this value, a value smaller than the value of the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed. It is also possible to display the actual value from.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35B, the details of the specialization effect setting process (step S3111) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the specialization effect setting process (step S3111) in FIG.

  First, in step S3421 which is first executed, an effect for displaying the current number of specialization remaining games is set. If there is the specialization remaining game number that was previously displayed, a subtraction from that value to the current specialization remaining 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, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3427.

  In step S3425, an aiming effect (an effect that urges the player to aim for a specific role) is set. Specifically, in the case where the condition device numbers 1 and 2 are internally elected, the effect is set in the operation order of the first stop to the right and the BAR symbol is aimed, and the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally operated. When the player is elected, the production order is set in the operation sequence of the first stop on the right side and urged to aim at the Seven 2 symbol. Instead of the BAR symbol or the Seven 2 symbol, a production aiming at the 1st symbol may be executed. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3427.

  In step S3427, it is determined whether the number of specialization remaining games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3429, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3431.

  In step S3429, a special zone end effect (effect indicating that the special zone has ended) is set. The special 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 this specialized mid-time effect setting process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 36, details of the game state update command process (step S343) when the game state update command is received in the command process of FIG. 30D will be described. FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the game state update command processing (step S343) when the game state update command is received in FIG. 30 (d).

  First, in step S3A01 executed first, the game information included in the game state update command is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3A03. The information acquired here includes information such as an internally-winned condition device number, a winning combination determination result, a game state, a state B flag, a pt high probability flag, a 1000pt arrival flag, and a number of additional games to be added by conditional addition clear. is there.

  In step S3A03, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the AT state, with reference to the information acquired in step S3A01. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A05, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A11.

  In step S3A05, the information acquired in step S3A01 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A07, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A07, a process of updating the conditional addition effect is executed. Here, when the set condition is satisfied, the display of the portion corresponding to the condition is updated. Then, it progresses to step S3A21.

  In step S3A11, it is determined whether or not the game state is the specialized zone, with reference to the information acquired in step S3A01. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A13, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A13, it is determined whether or not the aiming effect (step S3425 in FIG. 35B) has been executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A15, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

  In step S3A15, it is determined whether or not a replay combination 6, 10, 15, 16 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A17, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A19.

  In step S3A17, a success effect indicating that the symbol indicated by the aiming effect has been successfully stopped is set, and further, an addition effect of the number of remaining AT games is set. Then, it progresses to step S3A21. Regarding the addition of the number of remaining AT games, a value smaller than the actual value may be displayed. In this case, the number of remaining AT games displayed is smaller than the actual value, but the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed when returning to the AT state (step S3401 in FIG. 35 (a)). At that point, you can grasp the actual number of additional games.

  In step S3A19, a failure effect indicating that the stop of the symbol shown in the aiming effect has failed is set. Then, it progresses to step S3A21. Since this failure effect is executed even if the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 20B), the number of remaining AT games displayed may be smaller than the actual value. .. In this case, since the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed when returning to the AT state (step S3401 of FIG. 35A), it is possible to grasp the actual number of additional games at that time.

  In step S3A21, in addition to the above-described processing, processing at the time of receiving the game state update command (including, for example, processing for setting effects according to each game state) is executed, and this game state update command processing is ended. .. The process here includes a process of initializing the display pt to 0 when the state B is changed to the state A.

<Process of second sub-control unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 37A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 37B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 37C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 37D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S401 of FIG. 37A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S401. In this initialization processing, the input / output port initialization and the storage area initialization processing in the RAM 508 are performed.

  In step S403, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. 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, effect control processing is performed. Specifically, if there is a new command in step S407, the process corresponding to this command is performed. For example, a process of reading effect data for performing image control regarding the background image from the ROM 506 is executed. In addition, the process of reading other effect data from the ROM 506 is performed, and the process of updating the effect data is performed when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S411, image control processing 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 regarding the display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control process will be described later with reference to FIG. When this image control process ends, the process returns to step S403.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed by the second sub control unit 500 when the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400 is detected. In step S415 of the command reception interrupt process, 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 control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 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 (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. To be executed in the cycle.

  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-control unit main processing shown in FIG. 37A and 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, update processing of the random number for effect is performed.

  Next, the image control process of step S411 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram showing a flowchart showing the flow of the image control processing.

  In step S421, a transfer instruction of image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the drawing areas of the display area A and the display area B of the VRAM 518. As a result, the one-frame image stored in the display area that is not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table, etc., and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on the instruction 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 the VDP 516 is input. If the transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S425, and if not, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for you.

  In step S425, parameter setting is performed based on the effect scenario configuration table, attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S421, the CPU 504 has information of image data forming the display image (coordinate axis of VRAM 518, image size). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), image superposition and transparency, etc. are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 sets a parameter according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S427, a drawing instruction is given. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts image drawing in the frame buffer according to the instruction of the CPU 504.

  In step S429, it is determined whether or not the generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the image drawing end is input. If the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S431, and if not, the generation end interrupt signal. Wait for is input.

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

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

[Regular operation (1)]
First, in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the flow when the CZ shifts to the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. FIG. 38 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the CZ shifts to the normal state. FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example of effects executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. The operation when the power is turned on will be described later with reference to FIGS. 42 to 47.

  In the example of FIG. 38, the first game is the last game of CZ (the number of remaining CZ games is 0), and the AT lottery is not won. In this game, as shown in FIG. 39 (a), an effect indicating that the AT lottery has not been won in the final game of CZ (CZ end effect) is executed (FIG. 34). In this first game, the state B end flag is set to ON (step S1C11 in FIG. 25), the parameters of the state B are initialized at the end of the game, and the state A is set (step S119 in FIG. 11). (Step S1A23 in FIG. 23, step S1E21 in FIG. 27). Further, in the first sub control unit 400, the value of the display pt is initialized to 0 by shifting from the state B to the state A (step S3A21 in FIG. 36). In FIG. 38, it is shown that the state B is changed to the state A by the above-described processing, the cumulative acquisition pt, the pt high probability remaining game number, and the display pt are initialized to 0.

  The second game is in the normal state and the state A, and as shown in FIG. 39 (b), the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 0) are displayed (FIG. 39). 33 (b)). In the state A (state B flag off), the state B transition lottery (step S1003 in FIG. 12) is executed, but since no winning combination has been internally won in this second game, win this lottery. The game ends without it.

  In the subsequent third game, the state B transition lottery is won because the condition device number 8 is internally won, and the state B flag is set to ON by this winning, and the preparation process for the state B is executed (FIG. 12). Steps S1005 to S1019). FIG. 38 shows that the state A is changed to the state B in the third game, and that the number of remaining pt high probability games is set to 10. At the end of the third game, the pt high probability flag is set to ON (step S1B15 in FIG. 24), and the high probability mode is set from the next game. The effect executed in the third game is the same as in the second game (FIG. 39 (b)).

  The fourth game is in the normal state (high probability mode) and the state B. In this state, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the pt high probability remaining game number is decremented by 1 (here, it becomes 9) (steps S1243 and S1253 in FIG. 16). In the pt lottery here (high-probability mode), 10 has been derived as the acquired pt because no winning combination has been internally won. The value of the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 10 by adding this acquisition pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 10 according to the information of this acquisition pt (( Step S3217 of FIG. 33B). In FIG. 39C, in the effect corresponding to the normal state (high-probability mode), the acquired pt is circled and displayed (+10 here), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquisition pt). It is shown that the value is displayed on the upper left (here, 10 is displayed), and the pt high probability remaining game number is displayed on the upper right (here, remaining 9 is displayed) (see FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

  In the fifth game, the normal state (high-probability mode) and the state B continue, the pt lottery (high-probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the pt high-probability remaining game count is decremented by 1 (here, 8). (Step S1243, Step S1253 of FIG. 16). In the fifth game, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. The value of the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 110 due to the addition of the acquisition pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 110 (step S1247 in FIG. 16). Step S3217 of FIG. 33B).

  The normal state (high-probability mode) and the state B continue after the sixth game, and when the 13th game is started, the value of the pt high-probability remaining game count is reduced to 0, and the cumulative acquisition pt value is 260. , And the value of the display pt becomes 260. In FIG. 39 (d), in the effect corresponding to the normal state (high-probability mode), the acquired pt is circled and displayed (+10 here), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquisition pt). It is shown that the value is displayed at the upper left (displayed here at 260), and the pt high probability remaining game number is displayed at the upper right (displayed at 0 here) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

  At the end of the 13th game, the number of remaining pt high-probability games becomes 0. At this time, if the number of pt high-probability sets is not 0, the high-probability mode continues, and if the number of pt high-probability sets is 0, pt high The probability flag is set to off and the mode is shifted to the normal mode (step S1B13 in FIG. 24). Here, since the pt high probability set number is 0, the mode is shifted to the normal mode, and the effect of the normal state (normal mode) is set as the effect of the 14th game which is the next game (FIG. 33 (b)). FIG. 39 (e) shows that the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 260) are displayed.

[Regular operation (2)]
Next, in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, a flow when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 and 41. FIG. 40 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in the normal state. FIG. 41 is a diagram showing an example of effects executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 40, the first game is in the normal state (normal mode) and the state B, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt at the end of the game are both 900, and the pt high-probability remaining game count is 0. ing. In this game, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 900) are displayed (step S3227 of FIG. 33 (b)). In the subsequent second game, pt is not acquired, the accumulated acquisition pt and the display pt are maintained as they are, and the effect contents are also maintained.

  In the subsequent third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 11 is internally won, so that the pt high probability set number is selected and 1 is added to the pt high probability set number (step S1207 in FIG. 15). In this case, the pt high probability flag is set to ON and the high probability mode is entered (step S1209 in FIG. 15). Then, after the pt (here, 20) acquired in the pt lottery (high probability mode) is added to the cumulative acquisition pt (steps S1243 and S1247 of FIG. 16), the pt high probability set number is 1 The value of the high probability remaining game number is set (Yes in step S1255 of FIG. 16). These pieces of information are transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 (step S1041 in FIG. 12), and the value of the display pt of the first sub control unit 400 becomes 920 (step S3217 in FIG. 33B). In FIG. 41B, in the effect corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed in a circle (+20 here), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquisition pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed at the upper left (here, 920 is displayed), and the pt high probability remaining game number is displayed at the upper right (here, remaining 9 is displayed) (FIG. 33B). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

  In the fourth game, the normal state (high-probability mode) and the state B continue, the pt lottery (high-probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the pt high-probability remaining game count is decremented by 1 (here, 8). (Step S1243, Step S1253 of FIG. 16). In the fourth game, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. The value of the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 1020 due to the addition of this acquisition pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 1020 (step S1247 in FIG. 16). Step S3217 of FIG. 33B). In FIG. 41C, in the effect corresponding to the normal state (high-probability mode), the acquired pt is circled and displayed (+100 here), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquisition pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (1020 is displayed here), and the pt high probability remaining game number is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 8 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

  In the above example, the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in the fourth game. When the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 and the pt high probability remaining game number is 0, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15), and CZ lottery and AT lottery are executed in the subsequent game ( (Yes determination in step S1201 in FIG. 15). By this process, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are postponed while continuing the high-probability mode until the pt high-probability remaining game count becomes 0 to obtain more pt. In the fourth game, since the pt high probability remaining game number is not 0, the high probability mode continues as it is.

  The normal state (high-probability mode) and the state B continue after the fifth game, and when the twelfth game is started, the value of the pt high-probability remaining game count is reduced to 0, and the cumulative acquisition pt value is 1230. , And the value of the display pt becomes 1230. In FIG. 41 (d), in the effect corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is circled and displayed (here, +10), and the display pt (here, the same as the accumulated acquisition pt). It is shown that the value is displayed at the upper left (displaying 1230 here), and the pt high probability remaining game number is displayed at the upper right (displaying 0 remaining here) (see FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

  When the value of the pt high probability remaining game number becomes 0 in the twelfth game, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15). Upon receiving this information, the first sub-control unit 400 once executes the effect in the normal state (normal mode) at the end of the game (the reels 110 to 112 are stopped or the payout is completed) (step S3A21 in FIG. 36). FIG. 41 (e) shows that the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 1230) are displayed. In this embodiment, the hatched state is displayed so that it is easy to understand that the display pt exceeds 1000. As for this display, it is sufficient to understand that the displayed value has reached a predetermined value, and the mode is not limited.

  In the following 13th game, CZ lottery and AT lottery are executed when the game is started, 1000 is subtracted from the accumulated pt (230 here), and the 1000pt arrival flag and the pt high probability flag are set to off. , Pt The value of the high probability set number is cleared to 0 (Yes in step S1201 of FIG. 15). On the other hand, the lottery effect is executed in the first sub control unit 400, and the value of the current cumulative acquisition pt (here, 230) is set as the value of the display pt (step S3221 in FIG. 33B). FIG. 41 (f) shows an example at the start of the lottery effect, and FIG. 41 (g) shows an example when the content indicating that the CZ lottery is won by the lottery effect is displayed. Has been done.

  By winning the 13th game CZ lottery, the game state shifts to CZ at the end of the game (step S1B07 in FIG. 24), and CZ starts from the next game. FIG. 40 shows that the 14th game is transitioning to the CZ.

[Regular operation (3)]
In the present embodiment, the loop that shifts from the normal state to the CZ and AT states and returns to the normal state again is repeated (see FIG. 9). In the normal state, the player can enjoy the game by acquiring pt for shifting to the CZ or AT state, and can enjoy the game by gaining more profit after shifting to the CZ or AT state.

  In the above loop, when the CZ or AT state is completed and the state is changed to the state A, the parameters relating to the state B are initialized and the state A becomes the most disadvantageous state. May end the game. In order to prevent such a situation, in the present embodiment, the stay period of the state A is set shorter than the state B (it is easy to shift), and the high probability mode is set immediately after shifting from the state A to the state B. Is adopted (see [Regarding Operation in Normal State (1)]). Note that such a configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the high-probability mode is always set, and a configuration in which the high-probability mode is more likely to be set immediately after the transition from the state A to the state B as compared with other times. May be adopted.

  Further, since the state A is set as the initial state at the time of factory shipment or after the setting is changed in this embodiment, after the setting is changed, the state A is shifted to the state B, and the high probability mode is set. Action will occur. Since the setting change is generally performed outside business hours, such an operation is easy to understand when the store is opened, and there is a possibility that the presence or absence of the setting change may be inferred. In order to prevent such a situation, the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the effect corresponding to the first high-probability mode after the setting change is not executed, but the same effect as the normal mode is performed. This operation will be described below with reference to FIGS. 42 and 43. FIG. 42 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation after changing the setting. FIG. 43 is a diagram showing an example of effects executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 42, the first game is the first game after the setting change. The state after the setting change is the normal state and the state A, and the value of the accumulated pt or the pt high probability remaining game number is 0 (step S101 in FIG. 11). On the other hand, in the first sub control unit 400, the effect in the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 43 (a) by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to ON. In the state A (state B flag is off), the state B transition lottery (step S1003 in FIG. 12) is executed, but since there is no internal winning in any combination in this first game, win this lottery. The game ends without it.

  In the subsequent second game, the state B transition lottery is won because the condition device number 8 is internally won, and the state B flag is set to ON by this winning, and the preparation process for the state B is executed (FIG. 12). Steps S1005 to S1019). FIG. 42 shows that the state A is changed to the state B in the second game and that the number of remaining pt high probability games is set to 10. At the end of the second game, the pt high probability flag is set to ON (step S1B15 in FIG. 24), and the high probability mode is set from the next game. The effect executed in the second game is the same as that in the first game (FIG. 43 (a)).

  The third game is the normal state (high probability mode) and the state B. In this state, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the pt high probability remaining game number is decremented by 1 (here, it becomes 9) (steps S1243 and S1253 in FIG. 16). In the pt lottery (high probability mode) here, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. By adding this acquisition pt, the value of the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 100 (step S1247 in FIG. 16).

  Here, if the morning flag is not on, the first sub-control unit 400 executes the normal medium effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)), and the effect corresponding to the normal mode is executed (FIG. 38). ~ Fig. 41). In this case, the value of the acquired pt is reflected in the display pt. However, since the morning one flag is set to ON after the setting is changed, the morning one effect setting process (FIG. 33A) is executed without executing the normal medium effect setting process.

  In the morning one effect setting process, the background in the normal state is maintained and the false pt addition effect is executed (step S3203 in FIG. 33A). In this false pt addition effect, a lottery similar to the pt lottery (step S1245 in FIG. 16) executed by the main control unit 300 in the normal mode is performed, and the pt derived here is used. That is, regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquisition pt and the value thereof, it is an effect to make it look as if the normal mode is set. Here, it is assumed that in the third game, 50 is derived by the pt lottery in the first sub-control unit 400, and the value of the display pt becomes 50 by using this. In FIG. 43B, in the normal state (high-probability mode) and the acquired pt is 100, the normal state (normal mode) is rendered, and the first sub control unit 400 performs the effect. It is shown that the derived pt is circled and displayed (here +50), and the display pt (here, a value different from the cumulative acquisition pt) is displayed at the upper left (here, 50 is displayed). (Step S3203 of FIG. 33A).

  After that, while the morning flag is set to ON, the false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the actual presence or absence of the acquired pt and its value. Here, before the pt high-probability remaining game number becomes 0, the pt high-probability set number lottery (step S1203 in FIG. 15) is won to obtain 2 pt high-probability set numbers (equivalent to 20 pt high-probability remaining games). I will continue the explanation as if I did. By acquiring this pt high probability set number, the high probability mode continues for a total of 30 games, and the cumulative acquisition pt value is 510 and the display pt value is 80 at the end of the 32nd game from the setting change. Suppose At this time, since both the pt high-probability set number and the pt high-probability remaining game number are 0, the pt high-probability flag is set to OFF, and the 33rd game, which is the next game, shifts to the normal mode.

  In the 33rd game, the morning ichi flag is set to off because the condition for canceling the morning ichi flag (30 or more games after the power is turned on and the normal mode (pt high probability flag is off) in the normal state) is satisfied. (Step S3011 in FIG. 31). As a result, the first sub control unit 400 executes the normal production setting process (FIG. 33B), and the production corresponding to the mode in the normal state is executed. For example, in the 35th game, the pt high probability set number lottery is won and the high probability mode is entered, but in this case, an effect corresponding to the high probability mode is executed as shown in FIG. 43 (c).

[Regarding normal operation (4)]
Since the state A is set as the initial state at the time of factory shipment or after the setting is changed in this embodiment, a series of operations in which the state A is changed to the state B and the high probability mode is set after the setting is changed Will occur. Since the setting change is generally performed outside business hours, such an operation is easy to understand when the store is opened, and there is a possibility that the presence or absence of the setting change may be inferred. On the other hand, even if the setting is not changed, the high probability mode may be set, and the player who sees the effect corresponding to this may misunderstand whether or not the setting is changed, which may be disadvantageous. For this reason, in this embodiment, even if the high probability mode is entered during the 30 games after the power is turned on, the corresponding effect is not executed, and the same effect as the normal mode is adopted. There is. This operation will be described below with reference to FIGS. 44 and 45. FIG. 44 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the power is turned on without changing the setting. FIG. 45 is a diagram showing an example of effects executed by the effect image display device 157 in accordance with the timing chart shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 44, the first game is the first game after the power is turned on. The state at the time of power interruption is the normal state and the state B, the cumulative acquisition pt is 500, and the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is 0 (pt high probability flag off, normal mode). When the power is turned on, these values are reset. On the other hand, in the first sub control unit 400, the effect in the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 45 (a) by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (see FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to ON.

  Here, if the morning flag is not on, the first sub-control unit 400 executes the normal medium effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)), and the effect corresponding to the normal mode is executed (FIG. 38). ~ Fig. 41). In this case, the value of the acquired pt is reflected in the display pt. However, when the morning one flag is set to ON, the morning one effect setting process (FIG. 33 (a)) is executed without executing the normal medium effect setting process.

  In the morning one effect setting process, the background in the normal state is maintained, and the false pt addition effect is executed (step S3203 in FIG. 33A). In this false pt addition effect, a lottery similar to the pt lottery (step S1245 in FIG. 16) executed by the main control unit 300 in the normal mode is performed, and the pt derived here is used. That is, regardless of whether or not the actual acquisition pt is present and the value thereof, it is an effect to make it look as if the normal mode is set. After that, while the morning flag is set to ON, the false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the actual presence or absence of the acquired pt and its value.

  For example, in the third game, the condition device number 6 is internally won, so that the player wins the pt high-probability set number lottery and shifts to the high-probability mode, but FIG. 45B shows the high-probability mode. It is shown that a value different from the pt actually acquired by the false pt addition effect or the cumulative acquisition pt is displayed regardless of the fact or the acquired pt. Further, in FIG. 44, after the high probability mode continues to the 12th game, the normal mode is temporarily entered, and in the 15th game, the high probability mode is entered again. It is shown that the state effect (by the false pt addition effect) is executed.

  In the above-described FIG. 44, the case where the state at the time of power failure is the normal state (normal mode) has been described, but even if the state at the time of power failure is the high-probability mode, the morning one flag is similarly set to ON. The false pt addition effect will be executed. Hereinafter, this case will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 46 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the power is turned on without changing the setting.

  In the example of FIG. 46, it is assumed that the high-probability mode is set, the first to fourth games are executed, and the power is cut off at the end of the fourth game. The state at the time of the power failure is the normal state and the state B, the cumulative acquisition pt is 720, and the value of the pt high probability remaining game number is 3 (pt high probability flag ON, high probability mode). When the power is turned on, these values are reset. On the other hand, in the first sub control unit 400, the effect in the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 45 (a) by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (see FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to ON. As a result, the first morning effect setting process (FIG. 33A) is executed from the fifth game, and the false pt addition effect is executed. In the state before the power failure, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt have the same value, but after the power recovery, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt have different values.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 44 to 46, regardless of whether the state before the power failure is the normal mode or the high probability mode, the effect corresponding to the normal mode when the power is turned on (by the false pt addition effect). By executing, it is possible to hide the state at the time of power interruption (for example, the state at the end of the previous day), and it is possible to prevent the presence or absence of setting change from being guessed.

[Regarding normal operation (5)]
According to the morning flag described above, the false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquisition pt and the value thereof, but during this period, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are displaced. After the morning flag is turned off, the pt obtained in each game is added to the display pt as usual, but the above-mentioned deviation remains unchanged. This shift is resolved when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 or when the state B ends (when the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are both initialized, the state newly shifts to the state B). Will be).

  If the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 even if the display pt is less than 1000, regardless of whether the morning flag is on or not, lottery such as CZ lottery and lottery effects are executed ( Step S1211 in FIG. 15 and step S3221 in FIG. 33B). Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 47 is a timing chart showing an example of an operation when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in a state where the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are deviated.

  In the example of FIG. 47, the power is turned off and on again without changing the setting, and the cumulative acquisition pt is 850 and the display pt is 100 in the fifth game after the power is turned on. Further, since the morning one flag is set to ON at this point, the effect in the normal state is executed by the false pt addition effect.

  In the 6th game, since the condition device number 6 is internally won, the player wins the pt high probability set number lottery and shifts to the high probability mode. However, the normal state effect is maintained by the false pt addition effect and is actually acquired. The value of the display pt different from the accumulated pt or the cumulative acquisition pt is displayed. After that, this high-probability mode continues until the 15th game, but it is assumed that the accumulated pt has reached 1000 during that time. Then, when the number of remaining pt high probability games becomes 0 in the 15th game, the 1000 pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15).

  In the following 16th game, when the game is started, CZ lottery and AT lottery are executed, 1000 is subtracted from the accumulated pt (here, 90), and the 1000pt arrival flag and the pt high probability flag are set to off. , Pt The value of the high probability set number is cleared to 0 (Yes in step S1201 of FIG. 15). On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the morning flag is set to off (step S3011 in FIG. 31), the lottery effect is executed by the normal effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)), and the value of the display pt is set. The current cumulative acquisition pt value (here, 90) is set (step S3221 in FIG. 33B).

  In the game after the 17th game, the morning flag is set to OFF, and the deviation between the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt is eliminated. That is, the effect according to the normal mode or the high-probability mode can be executed, and the display pt and the cumulative acquisition pt are in a matched state. FIG. 47 shows that the 17th game of the next game becomes the normal mode without winning the 16th game CZ lottery or the AT lottery, and the 18th game shifts to the high probability mode. In the game, it is shown that the display pt and the cumulative acquisition pt are in a matched state.

[Regarding normal operation (6)]
Other configurations applicable to the normal operation described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 47 will be described below.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the CZ lottery or the AT lottery is executed by acquiring pt is adopted, and it can be said that the high-probability mode in which the pt is more easily acquired is a state advantageous to the player. This high-probability mode is configured to be managed by using the pt high-probability set number and the pt high-probability remaining game number, but not limited to such parameters, any condition is adopted for starting and ending the high-probability mode. can do.

  Various configurations can be adopted for the pt high-probability set number and the pt high-probability remaining game number described in the present embodiment. For example, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the pt high-probability set number lottery is executed regardless of whether or not the high-probability mode (pt high-probability flag is turned on). The high-probability set number lottery may be configured not to be executed, and further, the high-probability mode has a larger (or smaller) number of pt high-probability sets than the normal mode. It may be configured. Further, the number of pt high probability sets to be given is not limited to the configuration determined by lottery, and a fixed value may be set.

  Further, a configuration is adopted in which the pt high probability remaining game number is given 10 when shifting to the state B or when the pt high probability set number is subtracted by 1 (step S1019 in FIG. 12, step S1259 in FIG. 16). As for this value, not only an arbitrary value can be adopted, but also a configuration in which a different value is set by lottery can be adopted. Further, the configuration may be such that the number of pt high-probability sets is added instead of the number of pt high-probability remaining games when shifting to the state B.

  When setting the pt high-probability set number and the pt high-probability remaining game number, it may be configured to decide by lottery whether or not to set it, but to the high-probability mode when the state A shifts to the state B. It is preferable that the transition probability of 1 is higher than the transition probability of the state B in the normal mode to the high probability mode. In the present embodiment, when the state A shifts to the state B, the 100% high probability mode shifts, whereas in the normal mode B of the state shifts by a lottery based on the condition device (the number of pt high probability sets is given). Be done). That is, the transition probability (100%) to the high-probability mode when transitioning from the state A to the state B is higher than the transition probability (less than 100%) to the high-probability mode in the normal mode of the state B. There is.

  In addition, a precursory period may be provided when shifting to the high-probability mode, and a precursory effect may be executed during this period. In the sign period, the sign effect may not be executed if the morning flag is on. Further, in the present embodiment, if the cumulatively acquired pt reaches 1000 when the number of remaining pt high-probability games reaches 0, even if the number of pt high-probability sets remains, this is discarded and a CZ lottery or Although it is configured to execute AT lottery, when not only the number of pt high-probability remaining games but also the number of pt high-probability sets becomes 0, when the accumulated pt reaches 1000, CZ lottery or AT lottery May be configured to be executed.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the morning flag is set to ON when power failure occurs, but for example, in the case of a momentary power failure due to a lightning strike or the like during business, in the case of multiple power, the effect is taken over as it is. In order to be able to do so (the morning morning flag is not set to on), for example, the morning morning flag may be set to on in accordance with the lapse of time from power interruption to power restoration.

  When setting the morning flag, it may be determined by lottery. In the case of this configuration, the operation after turning on the power becomes uncertain, and it may be more difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed.

  In the present embodiment, by facilitating a transition from a disadvantageous state such as the state A to an advantageous state such as the state B and the high-probability mode, the player's willingness to play even in the disadvantageous state to the player. Can be prevented from diminishing. Such an advantageous state is not limited to the high-probability mode, and may be, for example, a CZ or AT state, a state in which the player easily obtains a profit, or a state in which it is easy to shift to such a state. Any configuration may be used as long as it is easy to move to

  In the present embodiment, when the state B is in the high-probability mode, a corresponding effect (high-probability mode effect) is executed. Then, when the power is turned on after the setting is changed, the high probability mode is entered early. With this configuration, if the high-probability mode effect is started early after the power is turned on, there is a possibility that the setting may be easily changed. In order to prevent such a situation, the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the morning ichi flag is set to ON when the power is turned on and the false pt addition effect is executed. Since the execution of the high-probability mode effect is limited by this configuration, it is difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. It should be noted that this configuration is not limited to the production corresponding to the high-probability mode, as long as the production that can be executed when the state is shifted to the state B is limited. That is, with respect to the effect that can be executed in the state B, by limiting the effect when the power is turned on, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. In this embodiment, not only when the setting is changed, but also when the setting is not changed, the configuration of limiting the execution of the high-probability mode effect is adopted, but the high-probability is set only when the setting is changed. Even when a configuration that restricts execution of mode effects is adopted, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the first high-probability mode effect after the setting change is always limited, but it may be limited in the execution of the first high-probability mode effect, and as such a configuration, for example, A configuration may be adopted in which the morning flag is turned on when the power is turned on by a lottery.

  Further, for example, when the business is ended in the state where the high probability mode is set on the previous day and the business is started on the next day in that state, the state in which the high probability mode is set is restored after the power is turned on. In this configuration, if the high-probability mode effect is started after the power is turned on, it may be easily inferred that the setting has not been changed. In order to prevent such a situation, the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the morning ichi flag is set to ON when the power is turned on and the false pt addition effect is executed. Since the execution of the high-probability mode effect is limited by this configuration, it is difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. It should be noted that this configuration is not limited to the production corresponding to the high-probability mode, as long as it is a configuration that limits the production executed corresponding to a certain state, and regarding this certain state, for example, , RT, advantageous zone, chance zone, high probability, internal winning state, etc., and are not particularly limited. That is, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not there is a setting change, by limiting this effect when the power is turned on, with respect to the effect executed for a certain state. Although the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the high-probability mode is set early when the setting is changed, even if such a configuration is not adopted, whether or not the setting is changed It can be hard to guess. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the high-probability mode effect after the power is turned on is necessarily limited, but the execution of the high-probability mode effect may be limited, and such a configuration is, for example, when the power is turned on. A configuration may be adopted in which the ON setting of the morning flag is performed by lottery.

[Example of conditional addition]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, conditional additional lottery is executed in the AT state. If this lottery is won, three conditions (hereinafter, the first clear condition to the third clear condition) for obtaining the AT remaining game number and the additional game amount are set (step S1409 in FIG. 20A). When the condition of is satisfied (cleared), the set number of remaining AT games is added (step S1D03 of FIG. 26A). In addition, the effect related to this is executed in the first sub-control unit 400 (step S3417 in FIG. 35 (a), step S3A07 in FIG. 36). Hereinafter, the operation when the conditional addition is won will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49. FIG. 48 is a timing chart showing an example of a case where the conditional addition lottery is won. FIG. 49 is a diagram showing an example of effects executed by the effect image display device 157 in accordance with the timing chart shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 48, it is assumed that the first game ends with the conditional addition flag being OFF in the AT state, the condition device number 10 is internally won in the subsequent second game, and the conditional addition lottery is won. (Step S1409 of FIG. 20A). FIG. 48 shows that the condition device number 10 is internally won in the second game, and that the conditionally added flag is set to ON by winning the conditionally added lottery. .. Here, as a result of the conditional addition lottery, 10 games are set as the number of addition games, the internal winning of the condition device number 8 is set as the first clear condition, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 is set as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition is set. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as each.

  At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally wins the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (a), the condition device number 10 of the effect image display device 157 is selected. An operation navigation indicating the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, an image showing that the conditional addition flag is turned on is displayed, which indicates that the conditional addition lottery has been won (step S3417 in FIG. 35A). As an example of this image, FIG. 49 (a) shows three circles TC displayed at the upper left of 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 upper middle 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, this is judged at the end of the game, and the color is changed to the color corresponding to the additional amount won in the conditional additional lottery (Figure 36 step S3A07). Specifically, when the amount of addition is 10 games and 20 games, it changes to green, and when it is 30 games and 100 games, it changes to gold. That is, all the three circles TC become green or all become golden, which means that the first clear condition to the third clear condition are all cleared, and the AT remaining game count is added. It should be noted that 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, and may be determined before the reel is stopped, for example.

  In the game of the second game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been obtained (net increase of 5) 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. Green is shown by cross hatching with diagonal lines).

  In the third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won. FIG. 48 shows that the condition device number 9 is internally won in the third game. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 9 which is the push-order bell in the AT state is internally won, the correct answer of the condition device number 9 is obtained in the effect image display device 157 as shown in FIG. 49 (c). The operation navigation indicating the operation sequence (first stop in the middle) is displayed. In the game of the third game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been obtained (a net increase of 5) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, the middle upper circle among 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. 48 shows that the condition device number 8 is internally won in the fourth game. In addition, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 8 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state is internally won, the correct answer of the condition device number 8 is obtained in the effect image display device 157 as shown in FIG. 49 (e). The operation navigation indicating the operation order (first stop on the left) is displayed. In the game of the fourth game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been obtained by operating the operation navigation (5 net increase). Here, in the first sub control unit 400, when the first clear condition is satisfied, the lower left circle of the three circles TC changes as shown in FIG. Shown by cross hatching of lines).

  Furthermore, when all the three circles TC become green (all the first clear conditions to the third clear conditions are cleared), the three circles TC blink as shown in FIG. ), An effect of urging a predetermined button (for example, one of the stop buttons) to be pressed is executed. Further, when the predetermined button is pressed, the three circles TC disappear as shown in FIG. 49 (i), the additional amount won 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. 26A).

  In the following fifth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 10 is internally won and the conditionally added lottery is newly won (step S1409 in FIG. 20A). FIG. 48 shows that the condition device number 10 is internally won in the fifth game, and that the conditionally added flag is set to ON again by winning the conditionally added lottery. There is. Here, as a result of the conditional addition lottery, 30 games are set as the number of addition games, the internal winning of the condition device number 8 is set as the first clear condition, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 is set as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition is set. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as each.

  At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally wins the condition device number 10 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (j), the condition device number 10 of the effect image display device 157 is selected. An operation navigation indicating the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the conditional addition flag is turned on, three circles TC are displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 as in the case of FIG. 49A. 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 8 medals have been acquired (a net increase of 5) 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 gold as shown in FIG. 49 (k) (in this figure, The gold color is indicated by the downward-sloping hatching).

  Although FIG. 48 shows the sixth to ninth games, it is shown that 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, is internally won again, but at this point, the third clear condition has already been cleared, and at least the sixth game to the ninth game. In the meantime, the colors of the three circles TC do not change.

[Other configurations for conditional addition]
In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49 described above, when the first clear condition to the third clear condition (in the example of FIG. 48, internal winning of condition device numbers 8 to 10) is cleared, the number of remaining AT games is added. Is adopted. Further, a privilege image (in the example of FIG. 49, three green or gold circles TC) corresponding to the added amount to be provided is prepared, and the first clear condition to the third condition are set for this privilege image. A part corresponding to the clear condition is set in advance, and when any of the first clear condition to the third clear condition is cleared, the part corresponding to the cleared condition is displayed. With this configuration, it is possible to expect an additional amount each time the first clear condition to the third clear condition are cleared and improve the enjoyment of the game. Moreover, since the privilege image is gradually displayed as the clearing of the first clear condition to the third clear condition progresses, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by estimating the additional amount to be obtained.

  In the example of FIGS. 48 and 49, the configuration in which the three clear conditions of the first clear condition to the third clear condition are provided and these are associated with the three parts of the privilege image has been described. Here, the configuration in which the privilege image is gradually displayed with different timings for establishing the clear condition 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 association timing is not limited to the timing when the clear condition is set, and for example, the configuration may be such that which part is displayed at the timing when any of the clear conditions is satisfied. Further, the criterion for determining is not particularly limited, and may be a configuration in which corresponding portions are randomly determined, for example.

  In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, as the clear condition corresponding to one part of the privilege image, a condition that is satisfied according to the internal winning combination to be won is adopted, but the content of the clear condition is the above example. However, various conditions can be adopted. For example, in FIG. 48 and FIG. 49, the configuration in which the internal winning of the pushing order bell is set as the clear condition is described, but a configuration in which a condition device different from the pushing order bell is set as the clear condition may be used for some or all of them. Further, it is not an internal winning combination but a condition that is satisfied by a winning combination or a reel stop mode, a condition that is satisfied by the result of some sort of lottery executed by the main control unit 300, a game such as the number of games or winning history of a combination. May be a condition established by the history of, and a condition established by the elapsed time in the game. Further, it may be a condition that is satisfied according to an operation condition (operation content) such as the operated operation means and its operation sequence and operation timing, or the lottery result for each game (for multiple games) regardless of such operation. It may be a condition that is satisfied by a lottery result over a period of time) or a condition that is satisfied by a combination of such a lottery result for each game and a player's operation. Note that the operating means is not limited to the various operating means provided in the present embodiment, and may be, for example, a production operating means. By associating the clear condition with the operation condition, it is possible to give enjoyment to the operation. Further, for example, after winning the conditional addition, the first clear condition is satisfied by the first internal win of the condition device number 8, and the second clear condition is satisfied by the second internal win of the condition device number 8. Each of the configurations is such that the third clear condition is satisfied by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 for the second time, and 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 between the clear conditions corresponding to the parts.

  It should be noted that, for example, if all clear conditions are satisfied in one game regardless of whether or not a plurality of clear conditions are different, or if the clear conditions corresponding to each part are different but are satisfied at the same timing, There may be cases where multiple clearing conditions become the same due to the lottery, but if at least the timing of the satisfaction of the clearing conditions is different, the operation of gradually displaying the privilege image is shown to the player. You can

  Further, in the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, the cleared condition is maintained as it is, but the cleared condition is reset later, for example, by providing an effective period in the cleared condition, Alternatively, the configuration may be such that another clear condition is reset. Further, the clear condition may be changed on the way such as providing an effective period for the clear condition.

  In the present embodiment, when the conditional addition is cleared, the structure in which the AT remaining number of games is added is adopted, but it is not limited to the structure in which the AT remaining number of games is added when the condition is cleared. The configuration may be such that a transition to an advantageous state is made, the period of the already set advantageous state becomes longer, and the like). Further, the present invention is not limited to such a privilege, and may be configured to notify or suggest information about the game table such as the set value of the game table and the internal game state. Further, for example, when a user's individual environment is provided on a game table, image data or music data for customization of the environment, or an image downloadable on a portable terminal owned by the player, etc. It may be configured such that information unrelated to the game, such as information such as or music, is notified. Further, a combination of these may be used.

  Further, the privilege is not limited to the structure that can be surely acquired when the condition is cleared, and the privilege may not be acquired when the condition is cleared, as in the structure that the privilege can be acquired according to the set acquisition probability. Further, even when the conditional addition lottery is not won, the same effect as in the case of being won may be executed.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the configuration for determining the additional amount in advance in the conditional additional lottery is adopted, but the configuration may be such that the privilege is determined when the clear condition is first established. Further, it may be configured such that the privilege determined in advance can be changed on the way. In this case, a privilege image matched with the privilege before change may be used, or the privilege image may be changed according to the privilege after change.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the determination process of the clear condition is interrupted when the special zone is transferred after winning the conditional addition (restarting when returning to the AT state) is not limited to this configuration. It may be configured to continue the determination of the clear condition as it is when the game state is entered. Alternatively, the privilege may be given according to the clear condition established when the game state shifts. Furthermore, when the game state returns to the original one, another conditional addition may be started again. Further, in the present embodiment, the conditional addition ends once, but, for example, when it ends, a lottery is drawn to determine whether or not to continue newly. Good. Further, the conditional additional lottery may be configured to be executed at the start of the AT, or a new conditional additional lottery may be executed immediately after the privilege by the conditional additional lottery is obtained.

  In this embodiment, when the AT state ends (shifts to the normal state) without satisfying all the clear conditions, it is not possible to obtain the privilege obtained if all the clear conditions are satisfied. However, when the AT state ends, a privilege according to the clear condition that has been established halfway may be given. For example, if two of the three circles TC shown in FIG. 49 are gold, 10 games may be added (in this case, the number of remaining AT games is 10). And the three circle TCs disappear). When adopting this configuration, the benefit obtained when the clear conditions are met halfway is less than the benefit obtained when all the clear conditions are met (which is disadvantageous to the player). preferable.

  In the example of FIG. 49, the example in which the colors shown in FIGS. 50A and 50B are associated with the number of additional games that can be acquired has been described. 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. Note that, in the example of FIG. 49, only the modes shown in FIGS. 50A and 50B are used, but, for example, in the case of a mode in which different colors are included instead of the same color, the result is not added. (Additional failure) may occur. In the example of FIG. 50 (c), the lower left and lower right of the three circles TC are green, and the middle upper is gold, which is 20% when this privilege image is displayed. There is a probability that the number of remaining AT games will be increased by 10 games (80% probability that the addition will fail). Further, a configuration may be such that a large reward is given when the three circles TC are a combination of specific colors, and information such as a setting suggestion may be included in addition to the addition. The example of FIG. 50 (d) shows an example 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, and the set value is set. Is any of 456.

  Further, the clear condition corresponding to each part of the three circles TC may be suggested. In the example of FIG. 50 (e), the part in which the katakana “Ji” is displayed suggests that the internal winning of cherry is a clear condition, and the part in which the katakana “su” is displayed is , It is suggested that the internal win of watermelon is a clear condition, and the part where "Ka" in katakana is displayed is the clear condition for the internal win of push order bell (or common bell). It suggests. In this example, since the part where the katakana "Be" is displayed is located at the lower left, it is also suggested that the internal winning of the left 1st bell is a clear condition. As described above, when suggesting the clear condition, the configuration may be suggested not only by the notation but also by the position. In addition, a configuration in which the katakana is not displayed may be used as a suggestion for some internal winning (for example, the pushing order bell). Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a clear condition different from the actual clear condition is added and suggested. Further, it is not limited to suggesting all clear conditions, but may indicate some clear conditions. In the example of FIG. 50 (e), the relationship between the clear condition and the corresponding portion is clear, but it is also possible to suggest only the clear condition and not display the corresponding portion. In such a configuration that suggests the clear condition, the player can be made aware of the clear condition, and, for example, if the clear condition can be established, the player can enjoy the challenge. In addition, by clarifying the portion corresponding to the clear condition, it is possible to give enjoyment such as aiming at the portion to be displayed.

  Further, the information regarding the content of the privilege may be suggested separately from the privilege image. FIG. 50 (f) shows an example in which "reward 10G" is displayed under the three circles TC to suggest that 10 additional games are set as a privilege. In addition, FIG. 50 (g) shows an example in which “50%” is displayed under the three circles TC, which suggests that the probability of acquiring the privilege is 50%. Further, the timing at which such suggestion is made may be delayed, and the timing may be indicated. FIG. 50 (h) shows an example in which “remaining 5G” is displayed under the three circles TC, which suggests that a suggestion regarding the content of the privilege is displayed after five games. Further, the configuration may be such that the information regarding the content of the privilege is suggested at the timing when a predetermined number of clear conditions are satisfied or when a specific condition among the clear conditions is satisfied. FIG. 50 (i) shows an example in which the same “reward 10G” as in FIG. 50 (f) is displayed at the timing when one of the clear conditions is satisfied (one of the three circles TC changes). ..

  Further, the privilege image is not limited to the three circles TC shown in FIG. 49 and FIGS. 50A to 50D, and various images can be used. For example, FIGS. 50 (j) to 50 (p) show an example in which a character is used as a privilege image.

  First, in the example of FIG. 50 (j) to (l), FIG. 50 (j) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can obtain 10 additional games with a probability of 50%, and FIG. 50 (k) is 100%. 50 (l) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to acquire 10 additional games with probability, and FIG. 50 (l) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to acquire 30 additional games with a probability of 100%. These privilege images have the basic form of FIG. 50 (j) (image in which only the main character is displayed). In addition, the main character indicates the addition of 10 or more games. It should be noted that the star marks at the upper left of FIG. 50 (k) or at the upper left and upper right of FIG. It is composed. That is, the content of the privilege that differs depending on the number of star marks is displayed. It should be noted that it can be expected that a more advantageous privilege can be expected when the portion without the star mark is displayed first. In this way, in the case where the plurality of privilege images have a common part, when the common part is displayed, the player can be expected to have a sense of expectation while estimating the content of the privilege to some extent. Can entertain. In addition, this configuration is an example, the probability increases when there is a star mark on the left part, and the number of games increases when there is a star mark on the right part, and the higher the display position of the star mark, the more The content of the privilege may be changed according to the location of the star mark, such that an advantageous privilege can be obtained. Further, the privilege may be different depending on the color of the star mark.

  In the example of FIGS. 50 (m) and 50 (n), FIG. 50 (m) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to obtain 100 games with a probability of 100%, and FIG. 50 (n) is a privilege image with a probability of 100%. This is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege in which 100 games have been acquired and the set value is any one of 456. These privilege images are examples in which a princess character showing a privilege more advantageous than the basic form (image in which only the main character is displayed) of FIG. 50 (j) is used. This princess character indicates that addition of 100 games or more has been confirmed. Further, the character of Haniwa displayed at the lower left of the privilege image in FIG. 50 (n) indicates that the setting value is 456, and even if it is used in combination with the hero character and others in FIG. 50 (j). Good.

  50 (j) to (l) and FIGS. 50 (m) to (n), the middle part has a common structure. However, regarding the privilege image having a common part with other privilege images as described above. May have a configuration in which the common part is visible from the beginning. Further, the configuration may be such that a case where the common part is shown from the beginning and a case where it is not shown are determined by lottery.

  In addition, the image of the treasure box in FIG. 50 (o) indicates that the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20 (a)) is won. In this case, information regarding the game can be acquired by the privilege image. Further, the character image of the robot in FIG. 50 (p) is a privilege image for which customization data can be acquired.

  Note that when using a plurality of privilege images as shown in FIGS. 50 (j) to (p), they are arranged in a preset area such as a frame shown by cross hatching in FIG. 50 (q). You can Also, for such an area, it is possible to provide a plurality of positions that can be arranged and then select and use this position appropriately, but the position and the privilege that can be obtained should not be predicted. It is preferable not to be related to. In addition, although the background of the character exists in the examples of FIGS. 50 (j) to (p), the background may not be displayed.

  FIG. 51 is a diagram showing an example of a conditional additional lottery operation when the privilege images of FIGS. 50 (j) to 50 (p) are used.

  In FIG. 51A, an example of the operation corresponding to the second to fourth games of FIG. 48 is shown. In this example, the first clear condition corresponds to the left part, the second clear condition corresponds to the middle part, and the third clear condition corresponds to the right part. In the example of FIG. 48, 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. Displayed in order.

  FIG. 51B shows an example in which the already satisfied clear condition is met again. In this example, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 (1st bell in the middle) is a clear condition corresponding to the middle part of the privilege image. When the middle part of the privilege image is not displayed, the middle part is displayed by the internal winning of the middle 1st bell. Then, although the middle 1st bell is internally won, the middle part is already displayed, so there is no newly displayed part. Further, in this figure, it is shown that the left part which is not displayed is displayed by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 (left 1st bell) which is the clear condition corresponding to the left part.

  FIG. 51C shows an example in which the same condition device (here, cherry) is associated with each part. In this example, the bonus images are sequentially displayed from the left by internally winning the cherry three times. The portion corresponding to the internal winning (clear condition) of the first to third cherries may be determined when the clear condition is set, or may be determined randomly or by lottery each time the clear condition is satisfied. May be In either configuration, the clear condition and the privilege image portion may be associated with each other.

  FIG. 51D is an example of a case where the configuration in which the privilege changes midway is adopted. In this example, after the middle 1st bell internal win set as the clear condition corresponding to the middle portion is established and the middle portion is displayed, the number of games to be added to the strong cherry is increased (the privilege is changed). , It is shown that the privilege image used by this 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 in FIGS. 50 (k) and (l) is added.

  FIG. 51 (e) is an example of the case where the clear condition corresponding to the operation order is used. In this example, when the internal bell is internally won, the right part of the privilege image is displayed, and when the internal bell is internally won, the reverse part is pressed to display the left part of the privilege image. With this configuration, the portion to be displayed can be determined by the operation. Therefore, by using a privilege image in which information obtained according to the displayed portion is different, it becomes possible for the player to select and display the information desired to be acquired. In the privilege image of FIG. 51 (e), "G plus" on the right side recognizes that the number of additional games can be acquired, and "50" on the left side recognizes the 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 regarding the privilege can be displayed first. It should be noted that, in addition to "G addition" indicating the information that can be obtained as the number of additional games as such a privilege image, "addition of sets" as a privilege when the number of AT sets is adopted, and the period of the AT state by the number of games Some points are used as a privilege when managing with the number of times of navigation without "Navi addition", as a privilege when managing the AT state period with the number of available games instead of the number of games In this case, it is possible to infer the content of the privilege that can be acquired by using a display such as “acquire pt” as the privilege. Note that, for example, only the numbers (only the left part in FIG. 51E) may be displayed and the right part may be displayed so that the content of the privilege can be grasped. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the displayed portion of these privilege images cannot be selected according to the operation of the player. Note that, for example, in the case of a configuration in which the AT state is managed by using two parameters, that is, the number of times of navigating and the number of obtainable sheets, any of the above "addition of navi" and "acquisition of sheets" can be used. That is, the management configuration of the AT state is not limited, and an appropriate display can be adopted according to the management configuration of the AT state.

  The privilege images have been described above with examples. In addition, if a part of the different privilege images has a common structure, it is not possible to determine which privilege image is displayed when only this part is displayed. You may be able to increase your expectations for. Further, in the example of FIG. 49, three circles TC are grouped together, but the respective portions 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. 48 and 49, the state in which none of the clear conditions is satisfied can be grasped by the fact that the three circles TC are white. May be configured so that nothing is displayed (the background image is displayed as it is).

[About aiming performance during CZ]
In this embodiment, when the AT lottery is won during the CZ, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired (step S1305 in FIG. 19). Regarding these rights, there is a condition device that shifts to the AT state regardless of the stop mode when the internal winning is won, but when these conditions are internally won, a stopping operation is urged to win a specific winning combination. The aiming effect is executed (step S3307 in FIG. 34). The details will be described below.

  First, the case where the BAR right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device number 2 is the condition device for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C01 of FIG. 25). The operation when the condition apparatus number 2 is internally won while the BAR right is acquired will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 52A shows that the effect image display device 157 is executing the aiming effect that suggests a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation.

  According to this aiming effect, first, the right reel 112 makes a stop operation 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 the range of four symbols (within the drawing 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 in which the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 52 (b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 52 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the right first stop.

  Then, even when performing a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110, the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line is set as a reference, and within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range). It is necessary to perform the 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. 5 is on the pay line. Further, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the number 19 (blank 1 symbol) and the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 are on the pay line. In FIG. 52 (d), the drawing range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 52 (e), the BAR symbol is on the winning line due to the second middle stop. The stopped state is shown. Further, in FIG. 52 (f), the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 52 (g), the BAR symbol is a winning line by the third left stop. The stopped state is shown above.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-game combination 10 (BAR replay). At this time, as shown in FIG. 52 (h), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

  In the above example, the case of performing the stop operation in the order of right, middle, and left has been described, but when the stop operation is performed in the order of, right, left, and at the operation timing described for each reel, the re-gaming combination 10 is performed. Can be awarded. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the replay combination 2 is won, and the replay combination 10 is not won.

  Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-play combination 10 is not won, and another winning combination (here, re-play combination 1, 3 to 9) Will stop the symbols that make up. At this time, the Seven symbol, the Seven symbol, and the BAR symbol are stopped with priority. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to dare to stop by aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and to win the re-gaming combination 6.

  Next, the case where the 7 rights of peach are 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 of FIG. 25). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 53, an operation when the condition device number 3 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

  FIG. 53A shows that the effect image display device 157 is executing the aiming effect that suggests a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol, in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 3 is internally won, the BAR symbol cannot be stopped on the pay line regardless of the stopping operation. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, he or she intends to stop 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 the range of four symbols (within the drawing 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 in which the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, the stop operation at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is to stop the seven 2 symbol on the winning line. It is also the timing (both designs are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 53 (b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the pay line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timing of stopping the BAR symbol, the timing at which the BAR symbol is in the drawing range of the symbol 1 to 4 on the right reel 112 is also the timing of stopping the Seven 2 symbol, so the BAR symbol is aimed at. As a result, the Seven 2 pattern may stop. FIG. 53 (c) shows a state in which the Seven two symbols are stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 53 (d), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the aiming effect is 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 discomfort that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped despite the aiming for the BAR symbol. As a result, it is possible to understand that the Seven 2 pattern has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

  Subsequently, the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 perform a stop operation aiming at the Seven two symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the Seven two symbols are on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing in which the range from the number 0 (cherry symbol) to the number 4 (seven symbol 2) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Further, the stop operation is required at a timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 53 (e), the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations in the middle reel 111 is shown by four 7/2 symbols, and in FIG. 53 (f), the 7th 2 symbols are won by the medium second stop. A stopped state is shown on the line. Furthermore, in FIG. 53 (g), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four 7-2 symbols, and in FIG. The stopped state is shown on the winning line.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-gaming combination 16 (peach 7 replay). In this case, the aiming effect is an effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the re-gaming combination 16. In addition, as shown in FIG. 53 (i), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

  In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described. However, when the stop operation is performed in the order of, right, left, and at the operation timing described for each reel, the re-gaming combination 16 Can be awarded. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the replay combination 2 is won, and the replay combination 16 is not won.

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

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 54, an operation when the condition device number 4 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

  FIG. 54A shows that the effect image display device 157 is executing the aiming effect that suggests a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 4 is internally won, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the pay line in the first right stop.

  According to this aiming effect, it is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped with the aim of the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay 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) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 54 (b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 54 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

  Regarding the second stop in the following, the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol, but since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, in the middle reel 111, the BAR symbol regardless of the stop operation. Cannot be stopped on the winning line. However, since the player does not understand that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, he / she performs the 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 the range of four symbols (within the drawing 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. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, the timing in which the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 4 (seven symbol 2) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the seven symbol 2 on the winning line. (All designs are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 54 (d), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 are shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the pay line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timings for stopping the BAR symbol, the timing at which the BAR symbol is within the drawing range of the symbol 1 to 4 symbols ahead in the middle reel 111 is also the timing for stopping the Seven 2 symbol, so aim at the BAR symbol. As a result, the Seven 2 pattern may stop. FIG. 54 (e) shows a state in which the seven two symbols are stopped on the pay line by the second middle stop.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 54 (f), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the aiming effect is 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 a sense of incongruity that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though the player aimed at the BAR symbol. In particular, unlike the example of FIG. 53, the stop mode of the first right stop is the same as the example of FIG. 1, so a sense of discomfort may increase. However, by changing this aiming effect, the design to be originally aimed is known. As a result, it is possible to understand that the Seven 2 pattern has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

  Then, the 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 the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the Seven two symbols are on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing in which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, 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 pay line is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbol on the pay line (either. The design will also be within the pull-in range). In FIG. 54 (g), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbol tip on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven two symbols. However, here, the Seven 2 symbol does not stop on the winning line (Neither of the re-gaming actors 14 and 15 remaining as the winning symbol candidates does not stop the Seven 2 symbol on the left reel 110), and the Seven 1 symbol And BAR symbols will be stopped preferentially. As described above, among the timing of stopping the Seven 2 symbol, the timing of the Seven reel 2 symbol in the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol ahead on the left reel 110 is also the timing of stopping the BAR symbol, so the Seven 2 symbol As a result, the BAR symbol may stop as a result. FIG. 54 (h) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the third left stop. In this case, the two Seven symbols are in a state of being aligned downward to the right.

  As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-game combination 15 (peach 7 replay). In this case, the aiming effect is an effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the replay combination 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 54 (i), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

  In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described. Can be awarded. However, when the second stop operation is for the left reel 110, when the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line, both the re-gaming combinations 10 and 15 are in a tenpy state (condition device number 2, at this point, It is possible to narrow down to any of 4). In this case, the middle reel 111 may be aimed at the BAR symbol without changing the symbol of the aiming effect, and the two-seven symbol may be stopped, or the symbol to be aimed may be changed to the two-seven symbol. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the replay combination 2 is won, and the replay combination 15 is not won.

  Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the replay combination 15 is not won, and another winning combination (here, the replay combination 1, 3 to 7, 9, 14) will be stopped. At this time, the Seven symbol, the Seven symbol, and the BAR symbol are stopped with priority. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to dare to stop by aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and to win the re-gaming combination 6.

  In the description of FIGS. 52 to 54, the aiming effect when the AT lottery is won (when the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired) has been described, but the aiming effect is also obtained when the AT lottery is not won. It may be executed (step S3317 in FIG. 34). An example of the operation when the condition device number 1 is internally won while the AT lottery is not won will be described below with reference to FIG. 55.

  FIG. 55A shows that the effect image display device 157 is executing the aiming effect that suggests a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol in the right-middle-left order. Here, the condition device number 1 is internally won, and the BAR symbol can be stopped on the pay line for the right first stop and the middle second stop.

  According to this aiming effect, it is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped with the aim of the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. In FIG. 55 (b), the drawing range of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by four BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 55 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

  Subsequently, even when the stop operation is aimed at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111, the BAR symbol is stopped at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. You need to do something. In FIG. 55 (d), the drawing range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 55 (e), the BAR symbol is on the pay line due to the second stop inside. The stopped state is shown.

  Then, the stop operation is performed on the left reel 110 aiming at the BAR symbol. In this case, based on the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from there. In FIG. 55 (f), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven two symbols. However, here only the re-gaming combination 8 remains as a winning combination candidate, and only the replay symbol is stopped on the left reel 110. FIG. 55 (g) shows a state where the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line by the third stop on the left.

  In addition, when the operation operation is performed at a timing other than the above timing, the symbols constituting other winning combinations are stopped. At this time, the seven symbols, the two symbols, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped, but in the condition device number 1, the re-gaming combinations 6, 10, 15, 16 are not won. Therefore, even if aiming at the Seven 1 symbol, the re-play combination 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 performance, none of the re-game players 10, 15, and 16 that wins at the time of AT winning is won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 55 (h), the effect image display device 157 displays a "sorry" message notifying that the AT state will not be entered.

[Other configurations for aiming performance during CZ]
As described in the examples of FIG. 52 to FIG. 55, in the present embodiment, it is possible to lead to winning of a specific winning combination and improve the enjoyment of the game, while changing the target symbol in the middle. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous to win the re-gaming combination 10 in FIG. 53 and FIG. 54 than to win the re-gaming combination 10 in FIG. 52 (AT state. 18 (d)), which has a large number of initial AT remaining games. Although it is not necessary to adopt a configuration in which the degree of advantage is different, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by adopting a configuration in which it is more advantageous when the target symbol is changed. The configuration may be disadvantageous when the target symbol is changed.

  In the example of FIG. 53 and FIG. 54, aiming at the BAR symbol, the production is changed at the timing at which the Seven 2 symbol that really wants to be stopped is stopped, but here when the Seven 2 symbol is not stopped May continue without changing the target production. In particular, in the present embodiment, regardless of the stop mode, when the internal game is won for the condition device corresponding to the acquired right, the configuration shifts from the next game to the AT state, so that the Seven 2 symbol does not stop It is also possible to carry out the effect suggesting to shift to the AT state after continuing the effect as it is without changing. Further, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a failure effect indicating that the targeted symbol has not stopped may be performed. Although the target symbol is changed in the example of FIGS. 53 and 54, there may be a case where the effect of targeting the Seven-2 symbol is executed from the beginning and the target symbol is not changed.

  Further, regarding the timing of the change in the targeting effect, a symbol different from the symbol shown in the targeting factor (Seven 2 symbol in FIGS. 53 and 54) is located at the target position by the stop operation (middle in FIGS. 53 and 54). It may be the moment when it is decided that it can be stopped, or after the corresponding reel has stopped. In particular, there may be a case where a configuration in which the stop symbol can be easily grasped is adopted depending on the symbol arrangement of the reels and the timing of pressing, and for such a configuration, it is preferable to change the target production after the reels are stopped. In addition, depending on the player, it may be possible to perform a game operation by inertia and not notice that the target symbol has changed, so to make it easier to notice that the target symbol has changed, freeze with the change of the target symbol. May be configured to be executed.

  As described with reference to FIG. 52 and FIG. 55, the condition device number 2 can win the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved, while the condition device number 1 wins the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved. Although it is not possible to do so, it is configured such that a winning combination (re-playing role 8 in FIG. 55) is expected to win the re-playing role 10. On the other hand, with the condition device numbers 3 and 4 described with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54, it is possible to win the re-play combinations 15 and 16, respectively. However, for these combinations, condition devices that expect winning are provided. Has not been done. That is, it is possible to understand that the AT winning (acquisition of 7 peach rights) is confirmed when the target design is changed in the aiming effect. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the re-play combinations 15, 16 may be provided with a condition device for expecting winning of these combinations.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol are adjacent to each other, but even if they are not adjacent, the timing at which the Seven-2 symbol can be stopped among the stop timings aiming at the BAR symbol Should be included. For example, in the configuration in which the two 7 symbols are arranged above the BAR symbol in FIG. 5, the more the distance is, the more difficult it is for the 7 2 symbol to stop when aiming at the BAR symbol, but when the 7 2 symbol stops. Can surprise the player because the reel draws in a lot. Further, 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. However, regarding the operation of FIG. In, the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other. Even with this configuration, the operation described with reference to FIG. 53 is established. As described above, at least one reel (for example, the right reel 112 in FIG. 53) capable of stopping both the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol may be provided, and the reel is stopped. It may be configured to change the aiming performance at the timing. Also, regarding the operation of FIG. 54, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other on the right reel 112.

  In addition, in the example of FIGS. 52 to 55, the configuration using the BAR symbol or the Seven 2 symbol has been described, but the symbol used is not limited to this. The winning combination is not limited to the re-playing combination, and various combinations can be used. Further, in this example, the target production operation is configured to be performed at the time of notifying the shift to the AT state, but the application scene of this operation is not limited to this example. For example, in the present embodiment, when the internal winning of the condition device numbers 2 to 4 is performed in the specialized zone, the number of remaining AT games is added, but when the internal winning of the condition device is performed, the target production is executed. It may be configured.

  Here, an example in which the configuration of the aimed effect is combined with the bonus will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, a configuration is adopted in which a big bonus is won by "7-7-7" and a regular bonus is won by "7-7-BAR". In this configuration, when the bonus is confirmed, a display that can be both a big bonus and a regular bonus is executed until all reels stop, as shown in FIG. Here, when 7 symbols are stopped on the upper stage of the left reel, the big bonus is confirmed (1st check). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 56 (b), the display of the BAR symbol displayed on the screen at the stage of the first confirmation is erased to notify the big bonus confirmation. Further, for example, when the big bonus is realized, by performing the stop operation when the 7 symbols are located in the upper left stage, the 7 symbols are stopped in the upper left stage and the big bonus is fixed, while outside the display frame. If there are 7 symbols, the 7 symbol is drawn to the left middle row, and the big bonus is not confirmed. By doing a specific operation (such as pressing a bit) on one of the reels, the internal winning combination is achieved. In the case of the specification in which the determination can be made, the instruction of the target symbol by performing the operation may be changed as in the present embodiment.

[About aiming when moving to the specialized zone]
In the present embodiment, if the special zone right lottery (step S1411 of FIG. 20A) is won in the AT state, the right of blue 7 is acquired. If the player wins the blue 7 right internally and wins any of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4, it moves to the specialized zone (step S1D11 in FIG. 26A). On the other hand, if the player wins the blue 7 right and internally wins one of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4, a targeting effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the replay combination 6 is executed (FIG. ) Step S3409). This will be specifically described below with reference to FIG. 57.

  Here, the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won while the blue 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 57 (a), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left, and that a stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven 1 symbol. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the Seven 1 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 6 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. FIG. 57B shows that the replay combination 6 has been won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Further, at this time, it is shown that the special zone entry effect that suggests the shift to the special zone is being executed (step S3411 in FIG. 35A).

  As described in the example of FIG. 52, in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the game roles 1, 3-10. In addition, there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as the candidates of the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 57 (b), not only the replay combination 6 is won according to the aiming effect, but also the BAR symbol is aimed not according to this, as shown in the route of FIG. 57 (c). It is also possible to win the re-game part 10. The route of FIG. 57 (d) shows that the replay combination 1 is won. In any case, after all the reels have stopped, the special zone entry effect that suggests the transition to the special zone is executed (step S3411 in FIG. 35A).

  Although the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won has been described with reference to FIG. 57, 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, in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the re-game combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, the re-game combination 1, 3-6, 11-13. , 16 to win. In addition, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop or in the middle first stop, the replay combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, the replay combination 1, 3 to 7, 9 , 14 or 15. Accordingly, when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won, the re-game combination 6 can be won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect as in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won. Even if the aiming effect is not followed, the special zone entry effect is executed while shifting to the specialized zone regardless of the winning combination. Therefore, for example, in the case where the condition device number 3 is internally won, it is possible to win the re-gaming combination 16 by aiming at the Seven 2 symbol without following the aiming effect.

[About aiming in the specialization zone]
In the present embodiment, when the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4 are internally won in the specialized zone, the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 of FIG. 20B, FIG. 21D). On the other hand, when any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 is internally won in the specialization zone, a targeting effect that prompts a stop operation for winning a specific winning combination is executed (step S3425 in FIG. 35B). The details will be described below.

  First, a case where the condition device number 2 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 58 (a), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, left and aiming at the BAR symbol to perform the stop operation. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 58 (b), it is shown that the replay combination 10 is won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Note that the number of remaining AT games is increased by 10 by internally winning the condition device number 2 (FIG. 21 (d)), but in the route of FIG. It is shown that the success effect showing the value of the addition is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36).

  As described in the example of FIG. 52, in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the gaming roles 1, 3-10. In addition, there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as the candidates of the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 58 (b), not only the re-playing combination 10 is won according to the aiming effect, but also the Seven symbol is not aimed at, and as shown in the route of FIG. 58 (d). It is also possible to win the re-game part 6. The route of FIG. 58C shows that the replay combination 1 is won. In the present embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the player wins the replay combination 10, but also when the player wins the replay combination 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 36). In the route of FIG. 58 (d), it is shown that the winning effect of the re-gaming combination 6 and the success effect indicating the additional value are executed (step S3A17 of FIG. 36). Further, in the route of FIG. 58C, it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the replay combination 1 is won (step S3A19 of FIG. 36).

  Next, a case where the condition device number 3 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 59 (a), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left, and that a stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven two symbol. Here, the condition device number 3 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 16 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 59 (b), it is shown that the replay combination 16 has been won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. In addition, although the number of remaining AT games is increased by 30 by internally winning the condition device number 3 (FIG. 21 (d)), in the route of FIG. It is shown that the success effect showing the value of the addition is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36).

  As described in the example of FIG. 53, in the case where the condition device number 3 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the gaming roles 1, 3-6, 11-13, and 16. In addition, there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as the candidates of the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 59 (b), not only is the replay combination 16 won in accordance with the aiming effect, but also the Seven 1 symbol is not aimed at, and as shown in the route of FIG. 59 (d). It is also possible to win the re-game part 6. Further, in the route of FIG. 59 (c), it is shown that the replay combination 1 is won. In the present embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the player wins the replay combination 16, but also when the player wins the replay combination 6 (step S3A17 in FIG. 36). However, in the case of winning the replay combination 6, a value smaller than 30 which is the number of additional games (here, 10) is displayed. In the route of FIG. 59 (d), it is shown that the winning effect of the replay combination 6 and the success effect indicating the addition of 10 games are executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36). In the route of FIG. 59 (c), it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the replay combination 1 is won (step S3A19 in FIG. 36).

  Although the target production (similar to FIG. 58) is executed when the condition device number 1 is internally won, neither the re-playing combination 6 nor the re-playing combination 10 is won, and the number of remaining AT games is added. Since it is not performed, the failure effect is executed regardless of the stop mode (step S3A19 in FIG. 36).

  Further, although the aiming effect in the case of internally winning the condition device number 4 is not shown, the same effect as in FIG. 59 may be used, the effect in FIG. 54 may be diverted, or a re-game combination. The effect suggesting the first stop on the right may be executed while displaying the 15 symbol combinations. In the case where the condition device number 4 is internally won, when the re-playing combination 15 is won, the success effect indicating the number of additional games is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36), and when the re-playing combination 6 is won, the number of additional games is 30. Success effects that display a smaller value (here, 10) are executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36), and failure effects are executed when a winning combination other than these is won (step S3A19 in FIG. 36).

  It should be noted that in the above-mentioned operation, although there is additional information, the situation is not notified. However, the portion not notified is displayed when the AT state is restored. The timing is not limited to the timing of returning to the AT state, and may be the final game (in appearance) of the AT state, the final game of the specialized zone, the timing of winning a new additional lottery, or the like.

[Other configurations for aiming in the specialized zone]
As described in the example of FIG. 58 and FIG. 59, in the present embodiment, when a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) is won, the originally intended symbol (role) is determined depending on the winning role. By providing the case where the effect of the privilege granting is executed similarly to the case where is stopped, it is possible to obtain a new game property such as intentionally stopping a design different from the targeted design. In the present embodiment, the number of additional games is notified when the player wins the re-play combination 10 and when the player wins the re-play combination 6, but the targeted symbol (role) and a different symbol The effect when winning the (winning part) is not limited to the one for informing the number of additional games, and may be the effect for other benefits. These benefits are not limited to those that are advantageous to the player (such as transitioning to an advantageous state or the length of the advantageous state that has already been set becomes longer), but also set values of the game console and internal game states. The information may be information about the game table, and further, for example, when the game table provides an environment for each user, image data or music data for customization of the environment, or information owned by the player. Information that is not related to the game, such as information such as images and music that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal that is currently used, may be a privilege. Further, a combination of these may be used.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the interval between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is arranged beyond the maximum pull-in range, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, these symbols may be 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 clearly aim because one of them may stop despite the aim of the other. Therefore, when adopting a configuration in which a symbol (role) different from the symbol (role) targeted 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 the case of winning the re-gaming combination 1, the re-gaming combination 6, and the re-gaming combination 10, respectively, depending on the operation timing, but the operation for changing the symbols to be stopped and the combination The conditions are not limited, and the operation order may be used to change the conditions. If the operation order is changed, the operation order different from the suggested operation order will aim for another role.

  In the example of FIG. 58, the same number of additional games is informed both when the player wins the re-gaming combination 10 and when the player wins the re-gaming combination 6, but in the example of FIG. The number of additional games to be added, which is different when the prize is won and when the replay combination 6 is won, is notified. In this way, the performance when winning a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) may be the same as when winning the targeted symbol (role), or differently. Good. For example, when a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) is stopped, a set value or internal value is displayed by displaying (or adding) differently from when the targeted symbol (role) is stopped. Information about a game such as a state may be suggested. As a modified example of the route of FIG. 58D, FIG. 60 shows an example in which an image indicating the set value is displayed in addition to the notification of the number of additional games. Further, the specific image may be displayed only when a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) is stopped. With these configurations, it is possible to give the player enjoyment when the design is not aimed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 57, the re-game combination 6 is provided with an opportunity to separately execute an effect aiming at this. This configuration may give the impression that the re-game combination 6 is a special combination. In particular, in the present embodiment, the frequency of the aiming effect of FIG. 57 is lower than the frequencies of FIGS. 58 and 59 (the winning probability of FIG. 21C is lower than the winning probability of the condition device number of FIG. 21D). , It is possible to give such an impression more strongly. By giving this impression, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of intentionally aiming for a design different from the design suggested in the case of FIG. 58 or FIG. 59.

≪Other≫
In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the internal winning probability of the re-game combination does not change is used, but the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 60 and the modified examples thereof are also applicable to a configuration provided with a so-called RT. is there. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the bonus combination is not provided is used, but the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 60 and the modified examples thereof are also applicable to the configuration in which the bonus combination is provided. is there. In the examples of FIGS. 52 to 60, the configuration using the condition device of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 to win the re-game combination has been described, but the configurations and condition devices to be used, symbol combinations, etc. are limited to this configuration. Not a thing.

  In the present embodiment, as the limit of the state B, the state B continues 1500 games and the net increase from the minimum value exceeds 2400 is adopted, but these numerical values are predetermined. Any material can be used, and it can be arbitrarily adopted.

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

  For example, a configuration in which the AT (or AR) terminates when the number of remaining AT games satisfies the termination condition and a configuration in which the AT (or AR) terminates (forced termination) even if the AT (or AR) does not satisfy the above termination condition. When adopted, automatic settlement or termination may be performed when the condition for forced termination is satisfied. Further, for example, in the case of adopting a configuration in which the bonus ends when the number of remaining games satisfies the end condition and a configuration in which the bonus ends (forced end) even if the bonus does not satisfy the end condition, It may be configured such that automatic settlement or termination is executed when the condition for forced termination is satisfied. In this way, the 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. In addition, the automatic settlement or the termination may be executed according to the ending condition of the second game state. With this configuration, the termination condition can be grasped by executing automatic settlement or cancellation.

  In the present embodiment, the CZ, AT state, and specialized zone are adopted as the states in which the operation navigation is executed, but this configuration is not limited and may be so-called AR or the like. In addition, although a configuration in which the number of remaining AT games is managed for the period in which the vehicle is in the AT state is adopted, for example, a configuration in which the number of remaining navigations and the number of remaining obtainable sheets are managed, or whether or not to continue is determined by a lottery. May be adopted.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the flags and variables relating to this are initialized when the state B ends (step S1E21 in FIG. 27). Such information is not limited to the variables used in this embodiment, and various variables and flags may be used to determine whether or not to execute automatic settlement and termination. For example, if the number of continuous games in the AT state is 200 or more, the number of operation navigations in the AT state is 50 or more, and the acquisition difference from the start to the end of the AT state is a condition for operating the automatic settlement function. When the number of sheets is a certain number or more, the following may be adopted. Further, the timing for determining these conditions is not limited to the configuration of determining at the end of the advantageous section such as the state B, but the corresponding flag is set to ON when the above condition is satisfied, and the advantageous section is set. It may be configured to execute automatic settlement and termination according to this flag at the end of. When the variables and flags described here are adopted, these variables and flags are initialized at the end of state B.

  Further, 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 and the stop function are enabled. In this configuration, the player may be able to recognize that the automatic settlement function and the stop function are enabled. Further, a signal may be output when the execution condition (= reach of limiter) of the automatic settlement function or the stopping function is satisfied, regardless of whether it is valid or invalid. With this configuration, it may be possible to grasp the number of times the player has reached the limiter.

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

  Note that the state of the switch when the power is turned on is used to enable / disable the automatic settlement and stopping functions. Therefore, for example, when the power is turned off immediately before reaching the limiter and reset to either valid or invalid, when the power is turned on again to reach the limiter, automatic settlement and termination are executed 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 game table, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a game ball (for example, a pachinko ball) is played. The present invention can be applied to a slot machine used as a medium, a pachinko machine, an arrangement ball game machine, a ball game machine, a smart ball, or the like.

  The slot machine is a slot machine that operates on mobile terminals (smartphones, game consoles) and personal computers by a program that simulates the operation based on the above configuration and that only exchanges electronic data without using medals. There may be, in this case, the game medium includes computerized data corresponding to medals, and the game medium is input by inputting computerized data 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 scope of the present invention. Those involving such modifications and changes are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
