The screen operation switch 305 includes a left switch 301, a decision switch 302, and a right switch 303. The left switch 301 is a switch for moving the selection item to the previous one. The right switch 303 is a switch for moving the selection item back by one. The determination switch 302 is a switch for determining the selected item.

[About game processing]
Next, the game processing will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the game process executed by the main control unit 41 after the setting change process. In the game process, a BET process (S1), an internal lottery process (S2), a reel rotation process (S3), a winning determination process (S4), a payout process (S5), and a game end process (S6) are sequentially executed, When the ending process is completed, the process returns to the BET process again. In the BET process in the step S1, a bet number is set in a standby state, a prescribed number of bets is set according to the gaming state, and a process for starting the game is performed when the lever-on operation is performed. In the BET process, as a process for starting the game, an output command for instructing the output of the medal IN signal for the number of medals used for the set bet number is set in the RAM 41c at the time of the lever-on operation.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set is set according to the gaming state (CB, non-CB), and the prescribed number of bets set according to the gaming state is set. It is possible to start the game on the condition that it has been done. More specifically, when a bet number of a prescribed number (for example, 3 in non-CB, 2 in CB) according to a gaming state is set, the pay line is activated and the game can be started. Becomes

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when all reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, a combination of symbols called a winning combination is completed on the activated activated line, and a prize is won. The winning combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be broadly divided into small combinations involving payout of medals and the next game that can be started without the need to set the bet number. It includes a game combination and a CB combination that can win a CB prize. Below, the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are collectively called a general winning combination.

In the internal lottery process in the step S2, it is determined whether or not to allow the winning of each of the above-mentioned winning combinations, based on the random number value for the internal lottery latched at the same time as the game start by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step S1 Perform processing. In this internal lottery process, the winning flag is set in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 based on the respective lottery results.

In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Among the winning flags of these winning combinations, the winning flags of the small winning combination and the re-gaming combination are valid only in the game in which the flags are set, and are invalid in the next game.

The "game" in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, a period from the operation of the start switch 7 to the stop of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Since the number of bets before the operation of 7 is set, the payout of medals and the transition of the game state are performed after the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, these incidental processes are also broadly included in the "game". And

[Type of winning combination]
Next, the types of winning combinations will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. The winning combination column of FIG. 9 shows the name of the winning combination, and the combination column shows the combination of symbols in which the winning combination is won. The payout number/actuation column shows the actuation state, the number of medals to be awarded, the replay awarding and the like. The related information column shows related information corresponding to winning combinations such as state transition. For example, regarding the lip 10 in FIG. 9, the symbol combination is “JAC3-JAC2-bell a”, which is controlled by RT3 at the time of winning, and the value to be given is replaying.

FIG. 10: is a figure which shows the symbol combination of the missing part. The missed results are the results derived when the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are won but the JAC and AT are missed (see FIG. 12). When the transition result is derived during RT0, 2, 3, the process proceeds to RT1.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the game state controlled by the main control unit 41. The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT3 corresponding to the start condition being satisfied to the end condition being satisfied (the winning combination shown by the arrow in FIG. 11). Or see the results). The type of replay that is internally selected is determined for each type of RT (the circle in FIG. 13 indicates the replay that is selected by lot).

12 and 13 are diagrams showing combinations of lottery target combinations that are read out as lottery target combinations for each game state during non-CB. The name column of the lottery target combination shows the name of the lottery target combination, the combination column of the winning combination shows the combination of the winning combination, and the gaming state column shows the lottery target for each type of RT. It shows that the winning combination is a lottery target, and the numerical value under the circle indicates the number of judgment values related to the winning probability. In the reel control column, the reel control executed when the lottery target combination is won will be described.

For example, for the 7-pack Lip 1 shown in FIG. 13, the winning combination is Lip 1, Lip 6, Lip 7, Lip 8, Lip 9. The gaming states to be won are RT1 to RT3, and the winning probability at RT1 is 200/65536, for example. Regarding the reel control, when the medium first stop is performed, when the second stop is performed, a “temporary 7” state where two “white 7” are lined up on the activated line (hereinafter referred to as “7 tempo”) and a third stop is performed. If the timing is the timing for deriving the 7th match outcome (hereinafter, referred to as “7th match outcome deriving timing”), the control for deriving the 7th match outcome (winning Lip 8 or Lip 9) is performed. On the other hand, when the timing of the third stop is different from the timing of deriving the 7-striped-out result, the 7-spotted out-of-throw line in which three “white 7” stops without being aligned is derived (lip 8 and lip A control other than winning a lip other than 9 is executed. When the left first stop is performed, control is performed so as to bring out a 7-aligned out-of-range line on the activated line without causing ten tempo regardless of the operation timing of the player. When the first stop on the right side is performed, the tempo is increased by 7 when the second stop is performed, and the control is performed to derive the deviation of 7 lines regardless of the timing of the third stop.

For the 7-pack Lip 2 shown in FIG. 13, the winning combination is Lip 1, Lip 6, Lip 7, Lip 8, Lip 9, Lip 3. The gaming states to be won are RT1 to RT3, and the winning probability at RT1 is 200/65536, for example. Regarding the reel control, when the first stop to the right is reached, the ten stops are reached when the second stop is performed, and when the third stop timing is the 7-matching result deriving timing, the 7-matching result is derived (repeat). 8 or Rep 9 is won). On the other hand, when the timing of the third stop is different from the 7-third result deriving timing, the control for deriving the seventh-resulting deviation item (the winning of a lip other than the lip 8 and the lip 9) is executed. It When the left first stop is performed, control is performed so as to bring out a 7-aligned out-of-range line on the activated line without causing ten tempo regardless of the operation timing of the player. When the middle first stop is performed, the tempo is increased by 7 when the second stop is performed, and control is performed to derive the 7-aligned deviation regardless of the timing of the third stop. In the following, “7 sets of rep 1” and “7 sets of rep 2” are collectively referred to as “7 sets of rep”.

[Mode]
Next, controllable modes in the slot machine 1 will be described. The controllable modes include a normal user mode, a simple user mode, and a normal mode.

The normal user mode is a mode in which a password issued by the management server 1200 in advance (hereinafter referred to as an appropriate password) is controlled by being input by the player. The normal user mode is a mode in which the player can carry on the game by inheriting the previous game history, the level of the character virtually held by the player in the game, and the effect setting (including the stage of the story). .. By playing the game in the normal user mode, not only the game of the slot machine 1 but also the fun of growing the character can be held by the player. The normal user mode is started by determining a password item (see FIG. 18D) on the menu screen and then inputting an appropriate password. The normal user mode ends when the user mode end is determined on the menu screen (see FIG. 19D). When the normal user mode is terminated, a two-dimensional code (see FIG. 16C) is displayed. Further, in order to have the management server 1200 issue a password, it is necessary to perform member registration (see FIG. 18B).

The simple user mode is a mode in which the game history can be accumulated. The simple user mode, like the normal user mode, is a mode in which the game cannot be played by taking over the previous game history. The simple user mode is started when the item of simple start (see FIG. 18D) is determined on the menu screen. The simple user mode ends when the user mode end is determined on the menu screen (see FIG. 19D). When the normal user mode is ended, the two-dimensional code (see FIG. 16B) is displayed. Since the simple user mode is a mode in which the game history can be stored without inputting a password, the processing load on the player can be reduced.

The normal mode is a mode that is neither the normal user mode nor the simple user mode. That is, it is a mode controlled when neither the normal user mode nor the simple user mode is controlled.

Hereinafter, the normal user mode and the simple user mode are collectively referred to as "user mode". In the user mode, the experience value of the character (10 in this embodiment) is provided when a predetermined experience value providing condition is satisfied. The predetermined experience value giving condition is a condition that is satisfied when 7 sets of Lips are won in S60 of FIG. 21 and the experience value giving process is determined by the experience value determining process in S64. When the given experience value reaches a predetermined value (100 in this embodiment), the character level is added. On the other hand, in the normal mode, there is no concept of the character and the experience value of the character, and the experience value determination process is not executed even if 7 sets of lips are won.

When the control to the simple user mode is determined by the operation of the player, the simple user mode flag indicating that the simple user mode is controlled is stored in the RAM 91c. When the control to the simple user mode is completed by the operation of the player, the stored simple user mode flag is erased.

When the control to the normal user mode is determined by the operation of the player, the normal user mode flag indicating that the normal user mode is controlled is stored in the RAM 91c. When the control to the normal user mode is completed by the operation of the player, the stored normal user mode flag is erased.

When controlled to the normal mode, the flag indicating the user mode is not stored in the RAM 91c.

The sub-control unit 91 is controlled by specifying the presence/absence of a flag in the RAM 91c and, if the RAM 91c flag is stored, specifying the type of the flag (either the simple user mode or the normal user mode flag). The mode (any one of the normal user mode, the simple user mode, and the normal mode) can be specified. For example, when neither the simple user mode flag nor the normal user mode flag is stored in the RAM 91c, the sub control unit 91 determines that the normal mode is controlled. When the simple user mode flag is stored in the RAM 91c, the sub control unit 91 determines that the simple user mode is controlled. When the normal user mode flag is stored in the RAM 91c, the sub control unit 91 determines that the normal user mode is controlled.

[About the database in the RAM 91c]
Next, the game history database in the RAM 91c will be described. In the following, the database may be referred to as “DB”. The game history database in the RAM 91c will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows an example of the game history database. The game history database includes the number of exhausted games, the number of ATs, the level of characters virtually held by the player in the game, the granted experience value, the number of mission achievements, and the like during the game history update period. The game history update period is a period from when the user mode is started to when it is ended. The AT number is the number of times controlled by the AT (assist time) described in FIG. The number of times of mission achievement is the number of times the mission described in S78 of FIG. The mission of the present embodiment is to derive a 7-set result in a game in which a 7-set lip is won.

The number of games in the game history database is incremented by 1 every time one game is consumed within the game history update period. Each time the AT is controlled within the game history update period, the AT number of the game history database is increased and updated. Every time the character level is added within the game history update period, the level of the game history database is updated and increased. Every time the experience value is acquired within the game history update period, the experience value in the game history database is updated and updated. Every time a mission is achieved within the game history update period, the mission achievement count of the game history database is updated. Further, these incremental updates may be collectively updated when the game history update period ends.

[Regarding the database of the storage unit 220]
Next, the database of the storage unit 220 of the management server 1200 will be described. In the present embodiment, the database of the storage unit 220 includes a player database, a game history database, and an occurrence information database. The database of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 15(a) and 15(b) show an example of a player database and a game history database, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 15A, in the player database, terminal identification information (SIM data) capable of identifying the portable terminal 1100 owned by the player, current status (standby/playing), password (last) Are issued to each player, the total number of games, the total number of ATs, the current level of the character, the experience value acquired by the player, the number of times the mission has been completed, etc. are registered for each player (by terminal identification information). In addition, although not shown in the figure, the player information includes player information (registered name), gender, date of birth, personal information of the player such as prefectures (member information). . The player database stores a total game history of the player identified from the terminal identification information.

As shown in FIG. 15B, in the game history database, terminal identification information (SIM data) capable of identifying the portable terminal 1100 owned by the player who has played the game, the game date and time, and the slot machine 1 at the start of the game. The password entered in, the game random number randomly obtained by the slot machine 1 at the end of the game, the number of games in the game, the number of ATs in the game, the level value at the end of the game, the game The game history information including the experience value at the end of the game and the number of mission achievements at the end of the game is registered. The player database stores a game history of the player identified by the terminal identification information on the current day (that is, the game date and time).

[About 2D code]
Next, the two-dimensional code will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16A is a two-dimensional code for membership registration. When the player selects "member registration" on the main menu screen (see FIG. 18B), the sub CPU 91a identifies the URL indicating the location of the member registration page of the management server 1200 as a two-dimensional code. (See FIG. 16A) is generated and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The player can easily access the member registration page of the management server 1200 by reading the two-dimensional code on the mobile terminal 1100.

FIG. 16B shows the two-dimensional code for the simple user mode displayed when the simple user mode ends. The two-dimensional code for the easy user mode is a URL (simple update URL) indicating the location of the easy update page on the management server 1200, and a game random number (this embodiment) that is a random value acquired every time the two-dimensional code is created. Then, it includes information indicating the 32-bit random number) and the game history update data. The game history update data includes the total number of games, the number of ATs, the character level, the granted experience value, the effect setting, the number of mission achievements, and the like.

FIG. 16C shows the two-dimensional code for the normal user mode displayed when the normal user mode ends. The two-dimensional code for the normal user mode is a URL indicating the location of the normal update page on the management server 1200 (normal update URL), a password input at the start of the game, and a random number acquired every time the two-dimensional code is created. Information indicating the game random number (32-bit random number in this embodiment) that is a value and the game history update data is included. The game history update data is the same as the game history update data of the two-dimensional code for the simple user mode, and includes the total number of games, the number of ATs, the character level, the granted experience value, the effect setting, the number of mission achievements, and the like.

FIG. 17 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100. When the player starts the game (starts the game history update period), the player performs a predetermined operation (for example, an operation to connect to a site managed by the management server 1200), and thereby the operation shown in FIG. Such a menu screen is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100. This menu screen is a site managed by the management server 1200, and a menu of items that can be provided to the player is displayed. Specifically, links for displaying passwords, displaying history, displaying completed missions, custom settings, running games, setting avatars, purchasing content etc. at the shop, viewing bulletin boards and posting are displayed. It When the player selects a desired link, when the player selects the password issuance, the mobile terminal 1100 transmits a password issuance request to the management server 1200.

The control unit 210 of the management server determines whether or not the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1100, which is the transmission source of the request, is already registered in the player database (see FIG. 15A). If the terminal identification information has not been registered in the player database, the control unit 210 transmits a message that the password cannot be issued to the mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. After that, the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

On the other hand, when the terminal identification information is already registered in the player database, the control unit 210 acquires information such as level and model information based on the player information and the game history information corresponding to the player, A password consisting of a 4-digit symbol is generated based on the acquired information, and the generated password is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. FIG. 17B shows an example of an appropriate password displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 when “1. Issue password” in FIG. 17A is determined. The number of digits of the password is not limited to four digits, but may be other digits.

The control unit 210 stores the generated password as the previously issued password in the player information corresponding to the player, and updates the status of the player database in FIG. 15(a) during the game. After that, the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

FIG. 17C is a screen displayed when “2. history display” is determined. In the example of FIG. 17C, the date when the player A played the game is displayed. FIG. 17(F) shows an example of a screen based on the game history information. FIG. 17D is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the display unit 140 when the mobile terminal 1100 is reading the two-dimensional code. As described above, the image of the two-dimensional code is displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 in a state where the two-dimensional code that has been photographed is displayed in a predetermined size within the frame of the display screen while being focused by the autofocus. Is taken into. FIG. 17E is a diagram showing a state where the URL as the analysis result of the two-dimensional code is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100. In this way, the URL indicating the location of the predetermined web page of the management server 1200 is displayed on the display unit 140. When the two-dimensional code shown in FIG. 17A is the two-dimensional code for the simple user mode or the two-dimensional code for the normal user mode, the URL shown in FIG. As shown, the history of this game is displayed.

[Menu screen in normal mode (user mode start)]
Next, the menu screen in the normal mode will be described. When the normal mode is controlled (that is, when the user mode is not controlled), the menu screen is a period during which the normal screen is displayed, and the game end process (see S6 in FIG. 8) ends. During the period from when the bet is set until the bet number is set (hereinafter, referred to as “normal screen display period”), the period during which the demo screen is displayed (hereinafter referred to as “demo screen display period”), etc., the decision switch 202 is operated. Displayed when an operation (press) is performed. The demo screen is a screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses from the stop timing when all reels are stopped and the game progress operation is not performed. The demo screen is a predetermined screen such as a game maker's logo, an advertisement screen, a character screen used by the slot machine 1 as a subject, and the like. The demo screen of the present embodiment is a screen in which the characters “during demo” are displayed (see FIG. 18A). Further, of the screens displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, screens other than the demo screen are called normal screens. The normal screen refers to a screen during a game, a screen until the demo screen is displayed after the game end processing is completed, and the like.

FIG. 18 shows an example of transition of the menu screen when being controlled to the normal mode. As shown in FIG. 18, the sub-control unit 91 performs screen display control such that the user mode is not determined even if only the determination switch 202 is operated (for example, only the determination switch 202 is repeatedly hit). Here, "only the decision switch 202 is operated" means "the decision switch 202 is operated without performing all operations other than the operation of the decision switch 202".

In FIG. 18 and other figures showing screen transitions (FIG. 19, FIG. 24 to FIG. 28), arrows indicate screen transition destinations. Regarding the left switch 201, the decision switch 202, and the right switch 203 shown next to the arrow, the switches operated by the player are hatched. For example, when the decision switch 202 is operated while the screen of FIG. 18(A) is displayed, the screen of FIG. 18(B) is displayed (transition to the screen of FIG. 18(B)).

When the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen shown in FIG. 18A is displayed, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 18B is displayed. 18A to 18B may be transited by operating only the determination switch 202. Further, FIG. 18(A) to FIG. 18(B) may transition when the decision switch 202 is operated or another operation is performed.

In the menu screen of FIG. 18B, there are a plurality of selectable items, "game description", "member registration", "user mode", and "return". Thus, hereinafter, selectable items on the menu screen are indicated by "...". “User mode” is an item related to execution of control for starting the user mode. "Game description", "member registration", and "return" are items that are not related to the execution of the control for starting the user mode.

When the player operates the left switch 201, the left item is selected. When the player operates the right switch 203, the item on the right side is selected. The selected item is displayed at the bottom. Furthermore, the color of the selected item is a color obtained by inverting the color of the item that is not selected. By performing such control, the player can intuitively recognize the selected item. In the screen of FIG. 18B, "game explanation" is selected. By operating the determination switch 202, the selected item is determined.

When the "game description" is selected and determined (when the determination switch 202 is operated in a state where "game description" is selected), as shown in FIG. 18C, a description of the game of the slot machine 1 The sentence is displayed. When the “user mode” is selected and determined, the screen shown in FIG. 18(D) is displayed. When "member registration" is selected and determined, a two-dimensional code (see FIG. 16A) for member registration is displayed. When “Return” is selected and determined, the screen returns to the demo screen of FIG. 18(A).

When the decision switch 202 is operated on the demo screen, as shown in FIG. 18B, the menu top screen is displayed with the "game explanation" selected. Therefore, when the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, as shown in FIG. 18C, the screen on which the game explanation is displayed is displayed. In addition, in the screen of FIG. 18C, "return" is selected. Therefore, when the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, the screen returns to the menu top screen of FIG. 18(B).

That is, as shown in FIGS. 18A to 18C, when only the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the screen of FIG. 18A→the screen of FIG. 18B is displayed. Screen→FIG. 18(C)→FIG. 18(B)→FIG. 18(C)... Between the menu top screen shown in FIG. 18(B) and the game explanation screen shown in FIG. 18(C). Will loop. Therefore, when the demo screen is displayed, the user mode is not determined even if only the determination switch 202 is operated.

To determine the user mode, on the menu top screen, the left switch 201 is operated to select "user mode", and then the determination switch 202 is operated. As described above, in order to determine the user mode, not only the operation of the determination switch 202 but also the operation of another button (in the example of FIG. 18, the operation of the left switch 201) is required.

When the user mode is determined, the user mode screen shown in FIG. 18D is displayed. On the user mode screen of FIG. 18D, selectable items include “password”, “simple start”, and “return”. When the "password" is selected and determined to start the normal user mode, a password input screen in which the password for starting the normal user mode can be input is displayed (see FIG. 26). When an appropriate password (see FIG. 17B) is input on the password input screen, the normal user mode is started. To start the simple user mode, "easy start" is selected and determined. This starts the simple user mode. When “Return” is selected and determined, the screen returns to the previous screen, that is, the screen shown in FIG.

In the example of FIG. 18, the example in which the menu top screen is displayed during the demo screen display period has been described. However, similar control is executed even if the menu top screen is displayed during the normal screen display period. With similar control, by operating only the determination switch 202, the "user mode" is determined by looping between the menu top screen shown in FIG. 18(B) and the game explanation screen shown in FIG. 18(C). However, the user mode is determined not only when the decision switch 202 is operated but also when another button is operated (in the example of FIG. 18, the left switch 201 is operated).

[Menu screen in user mode]
Next, the menu screen when being controlled to the user mode will be described. When in the user mode, the menu screen is displayed when the decision switch 202 is operated during the period from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the setting of the bet number, the period during which the demo screen is displayed, etc. Displayed in.

FIG. 19 shows an example of the transition of the menu screen. As shown in FIG. 19, the sub-control unit 91 displays a screen such that the end of the controlled user mode is not determined even if only the determination switch 202 is operated (for example, only the determination switch 202 is repeatedly hit). Perform display control. When the enter switch 202 is operated while the demo screen shown in FIG. 19(A) is displayed, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 19(B) is displayed. 19(A) to 19(B) may be transited by operating only the determination switch 202. In addition, FIG. 19A to FIG. 19B may be changed when the determination switch 202 is operated or another operation is performed.

In the menu screen of FIG. 19B, a plurality of selectable items are “game history”, “user mode”, and “return”. “User mode” is an item related to execution of control for ending the user mode. "Game history" and "return" are items that are not related to execution of control for ending the user mode.

When the “game history” is selected and determined, as shown in FIG. 19C, the game history from the time when the user mode is started to the current time is displayed. The game history is displayed based on the game history database (see FIG. 14) stored in the RAM 91c. When the “user mode” is selected and determined, the user mode screen shown in FIG. 19(D) is displayed. When “Return” is selected and determined, the screen returns to the demo screen of FIG.

When the decision switch 202 is operated on the demo screen in the user mode, as shown in FIG. 19B, the menu screen is displayed with the “game history” selected. Therefore, when the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, a screen on which the game history is displayed is displayed as shown in FIG. 19(C). In addition, the screen of FIG. 19C is displayed with “Return” selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, the screen returns to the menu top screen of FIG.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19C, when the demo screen in the user mode is displayed and only the decision switch 202 is operated without operating other buttons, 19(A) screen→FIG. 19(B) screen→FIG. 19(C)→FIG. 19(B)→FIG. 19(C)... In this manner, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 19(B), And the game history screen shown in FIG. 19C is looped. Therefore, when the demo screen in the user mode is displayed, even if only the determination switch 202 is operated, the end of the controlled user mode is not determined.

To determine the end of the user mode, on the menu top screen, the left switch 201 is operated to select "user mode", and then the determination switch 202 is operated. As described above, in order to determine the user mode, not only the operation of the determination switch 202 but also the operation of another button (in the example of FIG. 19, operation of the left switch 201) is required.

When the user mode is determined, the screen shown in FIG. 19D is displayed. On the screen of FIG. 19D, selectable items include "end user mode" and "return". When “End User Mode” is selected and determined, a two-dimensional code corresponding to the type of user mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Specifically, when the user mode is controlled to the simple user mode, it is easy A two-dimensional code for user mode (see FIG. 16B) is displayed. Further, when the normal user mode is being controlled, the normal user mode two-dimensional code (see FIG. 16C) is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 19, the menu top screen is displayed during the demo screen display period. However, similar control is executed even if the menu top screen is displayed during the normal screen display period. With the similar control, by operating only the decision switch 202, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 19B and the game explanation screen shown in FIG. 19C are looped, and the “user mode” is not decided. The control is such that the user mode is determined when not only the determination switch 202 is operated but also another button is operated (in the example of FIG. 19, the left switch 201 is operated).

[About AT]
The main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery process to perform a lottery on whether or not to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) when a predetermined AT lottery trigger is established. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery trigger is a trigger established when a predetermined AT lottery target winning combination is won. When an AT is won in the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 91 performs an AT notification effect that notifies the player of the AT winning, and then the main control unit 41 performs an AT control process for controlling the AT. The AT lottery process of the present embodiment is a process of determining whether or not to grant the AT game number, and in the case of granting, the AT game number. In the AT control process, according to the AT game number provided. Control to AT. After the AT lottery process is completed, the main control unit 41 transmits an AT game number command indicating the AT game number (including 0) decided to be given to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91. Can specify the AT game number determined to be given by receiving and analyzing the AT game number command. In the AT notification process, the fact that the AT has been won or the AT game that is given by the fact that the AT has been won is notified.

During AT, the sub-control unit 91 is advantageous to the player when it receives an internal winning command capable of specifying that the predetermined lottery target combination shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is won by the internal lottery process. The navigation effect that can specify the pressing order for stopping the symbol combination on the pay line LN is executed. Therefore, the player becomes advantageous by being controlled by the AT. An advantageous symbol combination means, for example, when winning a push-order bell (left bell 1 to 3, middle bell 1 to 3, right bell 1 to 3 in FIG. 12), JAC means JAC, and communication + rise lip in FIG. In the case of 1 to 4 wins, it means promotion lip, in the case of winning + transfer lip 1 to 3 it means maintenance lip, in case of winning + toll bump 1 to 3, it means rush lip, and winning of chan lip 1 to 3 Sometimes it's a chance lip. The reason why the chance lip becomes an advantageous symbol combination is that the AT lottery is executed when the chance lip wins (see the fourth AT lottery condition in FIG. 20).

FIG. 20 shows an example of an AT lottery table used by the main controller 41 in the AT lottery process. As shown in FIG. 20, the AT lottery target combinations are chance 1, chance 2, strawberry, and 7-repeat lip (see first AT lottery condition to third AT lottery condition). Further, as shown in the fourth AT lottery condition, the AT lottery is also executed when the chance lip wins.

For example, when the first AT lottery condition is satisfied, there is a 50% probability that AT is won, and when AT is won, the probability that the number of AT games to be granted is "10", "50", "100", "300", respectively. They are 40%, 30%, 20% and 10%. Other AT lottery conditions are as shown in FIG.

In addition, when the AT lottery target combination shown in the first AT lottery condition to the third AT lottery condition is won, the number of AT games that can be given is the same regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch in the selected game.

[About production related processing]
Next, the effect-related processing executed when being controlled to the user mode will be described with reference to FIG. The production related process is a process executed when the sub control unit 91 receives an internal winning command. The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

In S60, the sub control unit 91 analyzes the received internal winning command to determine whether or not 7 sets of Lips are winning. In S60, if it is determined that 7 sets of rep have been won (YES in S60), the process proceeds to S64. On the other hand, in S60, if it is determined that the 7 sets of lips have not been won (NO in S60), the effect-related processing ends. As shown in FIG. 20, the AT winning probability at the time of winning 7 sets of lip (when the third AT lottery condition is satisfied) is 100%.

An experience value determination process is executed in S64. The experience value determination process is a process of determining whether or not to give a predetermined experience value (10 in this embodiment) by random number lottery or the like. In the experience value determination process, for example, it is determined that the experience value is given with a probability of 50%, and the experience value is not given with a probability of 50%.

In S66, it is determined whether or not the experience value is determined to be given by the experience value determination process of S64. If it is determined in S66 that the experience value has been given (YES in S66), the process proceeds to S72. On the other hand, when it is determined that the experience value is not given in S66 (NO in S66), the process proceeds to S70.

In S72, the 7-order pushing order is notified. Here, the 7-set pushing order is the pushing order for deriving the 7-set outcome in the game in which the 7-set lip is won. For example, the order of pushing 7 sets in the game in which 7 set rep 1 is won is the first stop in the middle (see the reel control column of 7 set rep 1 in FIG. 13). In the game in which the 7-set rep 2 is won, the 7-set push order is the first stop on the right (see the reel control column of the 7-set rep 2 in FIG. 13).

The time from when the process of S60 is executed to when the process of S72 is executed is an extremely short time. Therefore, the player recognizes that the 7-order pressing order of S72 is notified at the same time when the 7-position matching lip of S60 is won (that is, the timing when the lever-on operation is performed).

In S74, the process waits until the display result is derived (that is, until all three reels are stopped) (NO in S74). When it is determined that the display result is derived (YES in S74), the process proceeds to S76. In S76, it is determined whether or not the 7th item has been derived. The sub control unit 91 receives the winning determination command transmitted from the main control unit 41, and analyzes the winning determination command to determine whether or not the 7th match outcome is derived. The winning determination command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, the presence or absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of paid-out medals at the time of winning, and all reels stop and winning determination is performed. Sent after.

When it is determined in S76 that the 7th item has been derived (YES in S76), the process proceeds to S78. On the other hand, when it is determined in S76 that the 7th item is not derived (NO in S76), the process proceeds to S79. It should be noted that the case where NO is determined in S76 means that the operation is performed in a pressing order different from the notified 7-position pressing order and the operation is performed in the notified 7-position pressing order. The stop switch may be operated at a timing different from the derivation timing.

In S78, it is determined whether or not the mission achievement notification completion flag is set (stored in the RAM 91c). The mission achievement notification completion flag is a flag that can specify that the mission achievement notification of S80, which will be described later, has been executed once (that has been executed) during normal user mode control. If it is determined in S78 that the mission achievement notification flag is set (YES in S78), the process proceeds to S79. If it is determined in S78 that the mission achievement notification completion flag is not set (NO in S78), the process proceeds to S80.

In S80, both the mission achievement notification and the AT winning notification are executed. The mission achievement notification is for notifying that the "mission for deriving the 7th outcome" has been achieved and also for giving the experience value. Specifically, the mission achievement notification is to display on the liquid crystal display 51 a message “7 sets have been successful! Experience value GET!”. The AT winning notification is to notify information that can specify that the AT has been won. For example, the AT winning notification is to display a message such as “Congratulations on AT winning!” on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, the AT winning notification may also notify the number of AT games provided. When the process of S80 ends, the process proceeds to S82.

In S82, it is determined whether or not the normal user mode is controlled. The judgment is executed depending on whether or not the normal user mode flag is stored in the RAM 91c. That is, when it is determined in S82 that the normal user mode flag is stored in the RAM 91c, it is determined that the normal user mode is controlled (YES in S82). On the other hand, when it is determined in S82 that the normal user mode flag is not stored in the RAM 91c (that is, the simple user mode flag is stored), it is determined that the normal user mode is not controlled (NO in S82). ). When YES is determined in S82, the process proceeds to S84, and when NO is determined in S82, the effect related process is ended.

In S84, the mission achievement notification flag is stored in the RAM 91c. The mission achievement informed flag is erased when the normal user mode determined to be controlled in S82 ends.

In S79, the AT winning notification is executed, but the mission achievement notification is not executed. When the process of S79 ends, the effect-related process ends.

In S70, a push order different from the 7-order push order is notified. The "pushing order different from the 7-pushing order" is, for example, a "pushing order different from the 7-pushing order" in the game in which the 7-pitch lip 1 is won, is a pressing order other than the middle first stop (for example, Left first stop or right first stop). In addition, the “pushing order different from the 7-pushing press order” in the game in which the 7-pitch lip 2 is won is a pressing order other than the right first stop (for example, the left first stop or the middle first stop). When the process of S70 ends, the character effect is executed in S71. Here, the character effect is an effect different from the AT winning notification. The character effect is an effect of notifying that the AT has been won by displaying a predetermined character A (see FIG. 23(E)). The character effect is executed at a predetermined timing in the game when the procedure of S70 is notified. For example, the predetermined timing is the timing when the display result is derived in the game. When the character effect is executed, the effect-related processing ends.

In S79, the mission achievement notification is not executed, but the experience value is added. That is, when it is determined that the experience value is to be given (YES in S66), the experience value is given regardless of whether or not the 7th match result has been derived (whether YES or NO in S76). As a modified example, when the experience value is determined and the 7th match result is derived, the experience value is given, but the experience value is determined but the 7th match result is derived. If not, the experience value may not be given.

Further, as is clear from the description of S66 to S84 of FIG. 21, the first determination process of determining whether or not to give the experience value and the mode of notifying that the AT has been won are described in “S79 and S80. The second determination process for determining which of the “AT winning notification” and the “character effect described in S70” is executed is performed (both processes are S66). As described above, the slot machine of the present embodiment can reduce the number of processes as compared with the slot machine in which the first determination process and the second determination process are separately provided.

Further, when it is determined in the experience value determination processing of S64 that the experience value is to be provided, the experience value is provided at a predetermined timing regardless of whether or not the mission achievement notification is executed (FIG. 14). Stored in the game history database).

In FIG. 21, the effect-related processing in the game in which the 7 sets of lips are won while being controlled to the user mode has been described. In the game in which 7 sets of Lips are won while being controlled in the normal mode, the first judgment process is not executed in the normal mode because the concept of experience value is not present, and the second judgment process (notifying that the AT is won is notified. Processing for determining the mode to be performed) is executed. When it is determined by the second determination process that “AT winning notification is to be executed”, the AT winning notification is given at a predetermined timing (for example, a lever-on operation timing for starting the game) of a game in which 7 sets of lip are won. Execute. Further, when it is determined by the second determination process that "the character effect is executed", the character effect is executed.

Further, the second determination process may not be executed. In this case, when 7 sets of Lips are won, the AT winning notification may be executed without fail at a predetermined timing of the selected game (for example, a lever-on operation timing for starting the game).

When the character effect of S71 is executed, or when the AT winning notification of S79 and S80 is executed, the AT is controlled from the game next to the executed game.

[About the timing chart of mission achievement notification]
Next, the timing chart of the mission achievement notification (see S80 in FIG. 21) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22A shows a timing chart of the mission achievement notification when the control is in the simple user mode. FIG. 22B is a timing chart of the mission achievement notification when the normal user mode is controlled.

22A-1 indicates that the user is controlled to the simple user mode and OFF indicates that the user is controlled to the normal mode (not controlled to the simple user mode). In FIG. 22(A-2), ON indicates that the 7th match outcome was derived in the game in which the 7th match Lip was won, and OFF indicates that the 7th match outcome was not derived. In FIG. 23(A-3), ON indicates that the mission achievement notification (see S80) has been executed, and OFF indicates that the mission achievement notification has not been executed.

As shown in FIG. 22(A), during the period (timings Ta2 to Ta6) controlled to the simple user mode, control is performed to execute the mission achievement notification every time 7 consecutive results are derived (timings Ta3 to Ta6). (See Ta5). This control is based on the following control described in FIG. When the mission achievement notification is executed (S80 of FIG. 21), when the simple user mode is controlled (NO in S82), the mission achievement notification completed flag is not set (the processing of S84 is not executed). When the 7th outcome has been derived in the subsequent games (YES in S76), and the mission achievement notification completion flag is not set (NO in S78), the mission achievement notification is executed (S80). As described above, since the mission achievement notification completion flag is not set when the simple user mode is being controlled, the mission achievement notification is executed every time a 7th match result is derived.

As shown in FIG. 22B, during the period (timing Tb2 to Tb6) in which the normal user mode is controlled, the mission achievement notification is executed only when the 7th match is first derived (see timing Tb3). On the other hand, the mission achievement notification is not executed even if the 7th outcome is derived after the second time (see timings Tb4 and Tb5). This control is based on the following control described in FIG. When the mission achievement notification is executed once (S80 in FIG. 21), when the normal user mode is controlled (YES in S82), the mission achievement notification completion flag is set (S84). Even if the 7th match result is derived in the subsequent game (YES in S76), if the mission achievement notification completion flag is set (YES in S78), the mission achievement notification is not executed (S79). As described above, when the mission achievement notification is executed for the first time (first time) when the control is in the normal user mode, the mission achievement notification flag is set, so that 7 sets of outcomes are first derived. Only when it does, the mission achievement notification is executed.

As shown in the timing Ta1 of FIG. 22(A-3) and the timing Tb1 of FIG. 22(B-3), when the normal mode is controlled, even if seven consecutive outcomes are derived, the mission achievement notification is given. Is not executed.

[Flow of mission achievement notification]
Next, the flow of the mission achievement notification when the user mode is controlled will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 23A, it is assumed that 7 sets of lips have been won during the user mode control (YES in S60 of FIG. 21). The flow of FIGS. 23B and 23C is for the case where it is decided to give the experience value by the experience value determination processing (S64) (YES in S66).

As shown in FIG. 23(B), when it is decided to give the experience value, the 7-order pushing order is notified (S72). When the notification is in the pressed order and the operation is performed at the timing of deriving the 7th uniform number, the 7th uniform number is derived (YES in S76), as shown in FIG. 23(C). At the same time, the sub control unit 91 executes both the AT winning notification and the mission achievement notification. In the example of FIG. 23(C), the AT winning notification is to display the character "Congratulations on AT winning", and the mission achievement notification is to display the character "7 sets successful! Experience value GET". Is. The effect screen of FIG. 23C is a screen when the mission achievement informed flag is not set. In the effect screen of FIG. 23(C) when the mission achievement notification completion flag is set, only the AT winning notification is executed (only the letters "Congratulations on AT winning" are displayed) as shown in S79, and the mission The achievement notification is not executed (the characters "7 sets have been successful! Experience value GET" are not displayed).

On the other hand, the flow of FIGS. 23D and 23E is for the case where it is determined by the experience value determination process (S64) that the experience value is not given (NO in S66). As shown in FIG. 23D, when it is determined that the experience value is not given, the 7-order pressing order is not notified, and a pressing order different from the 7-position pressing order (for example, the first left stop) is set. It is notified (S70). Here, a player who knows that "7 sets of rep's are won, and 7 sets are derived when the game is operated at the first stop in the middle or the first stop on the right" is shown in FIG. As shown, when the notified left first stop is ignored and the operation is performed at the 7-match pushing order (for example, the middle 1st stop) and at the 7-match outcome derivation timing, the 7-match outcome is derived. It However, if it is determined that the experience value is not given (NO in S66), the process of S80 is not executed, so that the mission achievement notification is not executed even if the 7th match result is derived. Note that, as shown in S71, in the example of FIG. 23(E), the character effect in which the character A is displayed is executed.

As shown in S70, when a pressing order (first left stop) different from the 7-order pressing order is notified, and when the left first stop operation is performed according to the notified pressing order, 7 The 7th line out is not derived, but the 7th line out is derived (see the reel control column of the 7th line rep in FIG. 13). Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 23(E), the mission achievement notification is not executed, and the character effect is executed.

[Effects of this embodiment]
Next, main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described.

(1) As described with reference to FIGS. 18A to 18C, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not started only by operating the determination switch 202. In the simple user mode among the user modes, as described with reference to FIGS. 18B and 18D, when the left switch 201 is operated, then the determination switch 202 is operated, and “easy start” is determined. Started by. In the normal user mode among the user modes, as described with reference to FIGS. 18B and 18D, the left switch 201 is operated, then the determination switch 202 is operated, and the “password” is determined. It starts when the password is entered. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the decision switch 202, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(2) As shown in FIGS. 18(A) and 18(B), when the determination screen 202 is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the "game that is not related to the execution of the control for starting the user mode" The menu top screen is displayed with "Description" selected. When the determination switch 202 is operated with the menu top screen displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game explanation" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the decision switch 202, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(3) As shown in FIGS. 18A to 18C, if only the decision switch 202 is operated during the display of the demo screen, the menu top screen of FIG. 18B and the game explanation screen of FIG. 18C are displayed. And are looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the determination switch 202.

(4) As described with reference to FIGS. 19A to 19C, the controlled user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not ended only by operating the determination switch 202. As for the controlled user mode, as described with reference to FIGS. 19B and 19D, the left switch 201 is operated, and then the determination switch 202 is operated to determine the “user mode”. It is ended when “end user mode” is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch 202, the user mode does not end, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from ending regardless of the intention of the player.

(5) As shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B), execution of control for ending the user mode by operating the decision switch 202 while the demo screen during user mode control is displayed The menu top screen is displayed with the "game history" unrelated to the selected. When the determination switch 202 is operated with the menu top screen displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game history" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch 202, the user mode does not end, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from ending regardless of the intention of the player.

(6) As shown in FIGS. 19A to 19C, if only the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the menu top screen of FIG. 19B and the game history screen of FIG. 19C are displayed. And are looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not ended only by operating the determination switch 202.

(7) Since the normal user mode is a mode in which the password is input after the "password" described in FIG. 18D is determined, the same player is playing the game. It is a mode with high possibility. As shown in FIG. 22(B), in the normal user mode, even if the 7th set of outcomes is derived multiple times, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the 7th set of outcomes is derived. In other words, in the normal user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed only when the 7th set outcome is first derived under the control of the normal user mode, and the mission achievement notification is issued when the 7th set outcome is derived from the second time. Do not execute. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling the annoyance of repeatedly performing the mission achievement notification.

On the other hand, the simple user mode is a mode controlled by the "simple start" described in FIG. 18D being determined. That is, the simple user mode requires less operations to control than the normal user mode, and is a mode in which the player can easily play the game. Therefore, the simple user mode is a mode that is likely to be determined by the player based on his or her interest. The player A who has played a game in the simple user mode with an interest in mind may quit the game in a state where the simple user mode continues without ending the simple user mode (see FIG. 19C). In such a state where the simple user mode continues, the player B who does not know that the simple user mode continues may play a game in the simple user mode. As described above, in the simple user mode, the players may be exchanged. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22(A), in the simple user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed every time the 7th match result is derived. Therefore, in the simple user mode, even if the players are replaced, the mission is accomplished every time 7 sets of outcomes are derived for the player A before the replacement and the player B after the replacement. Since the notification is executed, the interest of the game can be improved.

(8) As shown in S84 of FIG. 21, when the mission achievement notification is executed once in the normal user mode, the mission achievement notification completion flag is set. The mission achievement informed flag is erased when the normal user mode ends. While the mission success notification flag is set, the mission success notification is not executed (see S78 and S79 in FIG. 21). Therefore, it is possible to surely execute the control "even if the 7-series result is derived a plurality of times, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the 7-series result is derived".

(9) In the user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed when the 7-position push order is informed as shown in FIGS. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 23(D) and 23(E), when the 7-group push order is not notified, the mission achievement notification is not executed even if the 7-group press result is derived. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mission achievement notification, that is, the unnatural effect from being executed, even though the 7-order pushing order has not been notified. Furthermore, in the user mode, it is possible to link the presence/absence of the notification of the 7-pushing order and the presence/absence of execution of the mission achievement notification, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

(10) The main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery using the AT lottery table of FIG. The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not to execute the AT winning notification (S72 in FIG. 21). The sub-control unit 91 determines to execute the AT winning notification (YES in S72 of FIG. 21), and when the 7th match result is derived (YES in S76), executes the AT winning notification.

Therefore, in the user mode, it is possible to link the number of AT games to be given, the presence/absence of execution of the AT winning notification, and the presence/absence of deriving the 7th outcome, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved. ..

(11) Further, when the AT lottery target combination shown in the first AT lottery condition to the third AT lottery condition is won, the number of AT games that can be given is the same regardless of the order in which the stop switch is pressed in the selected game. is there. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the notification regarding the number of AT games related to the pressing order, and the variation of the AT notification effect can be enriched.

(12) In the present embodiment, the first determination process for determining whether to give the experience value and the second determination process for determining whether to execute the AT winning notification are combined (both Both processes have been described as S66). Therefore, as compared with the slot machine in which the first determination process and the second determination process are separate, the slot machine of the present embodiment can reduce the number of processes. In addition, in the process of S66, when it is determined that the experience value provision is determined, the AT winning notification is executed, and when it is determined that the experience value provision is not determined, the character effect is executed. Therefore, the mode of notifying that the AT has been won can be made different when the experience value is given and when the experience value is not given, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, a case where the slot machine 1 in the above-described first embodiment is replaced with a pachinko gaming machine will be described. Further, the pachinko gaming machine includes the same configuration as that of the example of the slot machine 1 partly, and the description of the same configuration and processing will be omitted, and different configuration and processing will be described.

In the vicinity of the center of the game area of the pachinko gaming machine, an effect display device composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. When the game ball wins the predetermined winning opening, the special variable display device variably displays at least one of the special first special symbol and the second special symbol, and in the effect display device, the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Variable display (variable display, update display, or cyclic display) of the effect design (decorative design) synchronized with at least one of the variable display is performed. The variable display of the effect symbol is executed in various variable modes such as a scroll display and a spot switching display. The effect display device corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect patterns (decorative patterns) as a plurality of types of identification information capable of identifying each. In the effect display device, an effect symbol display area for displaying effect symbols on the display screen is provided, and in the effect symbol display area, for example, three (plural) of "left", "middle", and "right" are provided. There is a symbol display area as a display region in which the effect symbols are variably displayed. Each of these three effect symbols is an effect symbol as a plurality of types of identification information capable of identifying each.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the game ball has won a predetermined winning opening, but a predetermined start condition (variable display due to the reserved memory that is not in the big hit game and has been started and won earlier is finished. If it does not hold), it is stored as reserved storage information within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four). Here, the pending storage information is, for example, information for specifying whether to control in a specific game state (for example, a big hit state).

In addition, the pachinko game machine of this execution form has the main control section which controls the progress of the game, and the sub control section which executes control of production. The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a screen operation switch (corresponding to the screen operation switch 205) in addition to a hit ball operation handle for firing a hit ball (game ball). The screen operation switch is electrically connected to the sub control unit so that the sub control unit of the pachinko gaming machine can detect the operation of the screen operation switch.

The menu screen described in FIGS. 18 and 19 is displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD). By using the screen operation switch 205, the displayed item can be selected and the selected item can be determined. The sub-control unit of the pachinko gaming machine can be controlled to any one of a normal user mode, a simple user mode, and a normal mode. Further, the mission may be of any type, and may be achieved by, for example, winning a predetermined number of game balls into a predetermined winning opening. When the mission is completed, the mission achievement notification is executed. Upon completing the mission, experience points will be given to a predetermined character.

In such a pachinko gaming machine, the following configuration is further provided.
(1) As described with reference to FIGS. 18A to 18C, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not started only by operating the determination switch. The simple user mode of the user modes is started when the left switch is operated and then the determination switch is operated and "easy start" is determined, as described in FIGS. 18B and 18D. To be done. In the normal user mode among the user modes, as described with reference to FIGS. 18B and 18D, the left switch is operated, then the decision switch is operated, and the “password” is decided, and the proper password is set. It will start when it is entered. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(2) As shown in FIGS. 18(A) and 18(B), when the demonstration screen is displayed, the decision switch is operated, so that there is no relation to the execution of the control for starting the user mode. The menu top screen is displayed with "" selected. When the determination switch is operated while the menu top screen is displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game explanation" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(3) As shown in FIGS. 18(A) to 18(C), if only the decision switch is operated during the display of the demo screen, the menu top screen of FIG. 18(B) and the game explanation screen of FIG. 18(C) are displayed. Is looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch.

(4) As described with reference to FIGS. 19A to 19C, the controlled user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not ended only by operating the determination switch. As for the controlled user mode, as described with reference to FIGS. 19B and 19D, the left switch is operated, and then the determination switch is operated to determine the “user mode”. It is terminated when "end mode" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode is not terminated, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated regardless of the intention of the player.

(5) As shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B), when the decision switch is operated while the user mode control demo screen is displayed, the control for ending the user mode is executed. The menu top screen is displayed with the unrelated "game history" selected. When the determination switch is operated while the menu top screen is displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game history" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode is not terminated, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated regardless of the intention of the player.

(6) As shown in FIGS. 19(A) to (C), if only the decision switch is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the menu top screen of FIG. 19(B) and the game history screen of FIG. 19(C) are displayed. Is looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not ended only by operating the determination switch.

(7) Since the normal user mode is a mode in which the password is input after the "password" described in FIG. 18D is determined, the same player is playing the game. It is a mode with high possibility. As shown in FIG. 22B, in the normal user mode, even if a mission is accomplished multiple times, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the mission is accomplished. That is, in the normal user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed only when the mission is first achieved under the control of the normal user mode, and the mission achievement notification is not executed when the second and subsequent missions are achieved. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling the annoyance of repeatedly performing the mission achievement notification.

On the other hand, the simple user mode is a mode controlled by the "simple start" described in FIG. 18D being determined. That is, the simple user mode requires less operations to control than the normal user mode, and is a mode in which the player can easily play the game. Therefore, the simple user mode is a mode that is likely to be determined by the player based on his or her interest. The player A who has played a game in the simple user mode with an interest in mind may quit the game in a state where the simple user mode continues without ending the simple user mode (see FIG. 19C). In such a state where the simple user mode continues, the player B who does not know that the simple user mode continues may play a game in the simple user mode. As described above, in the simple user mode, the players may be exchanged. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22(A), in the simple user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed every time the mission is accomplished. Therefore, in the simple user mode, even when the players are replaced, the mission achievement notification is executed for each of the player A before the replacement and the player B after the replacement each time the mission is completed. By doing so, the interest of the game can be improved.

(8) In the normal user mode, when the mission achievement notification is executed once, the mission achievement notification completion flag is set. The mission achievement informed flag is erased when the normal user mode ends. While the mission success notification flag is set, the mission success notification is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to surely execute the control "even if a plurality of missions are achieved, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the missions are accomplished".

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is a gaming device to which the technical idea described in the first embodiment is applied. Here, the game device is a device installed in a game store. The gaming device may be a device provided corresponding to a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, or the like, and the gaming device may be a device provided not corresponding to a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, or the like. ..

A gaming device provided corresponding to a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, or the like includes, for example, a data display device installed at a predetermined position (for example, an upper portion of the pachinko gaming machine and the slot machine) and a specific position (for example, a pachinko machine). It includes a lending device (card unit) installed next to a gaming machine and a slot machine.

The data display device can display various data. For example, various data displayed on the data display device provided corresponding to the slot machine are the number of exhausted games, the number of times controlled by the AT, the number of medals paid out, and the like. The lending device is a device for lending a medal used in a slot machine or a game ball used in a pachinko gaming machine by inserting a prepaid card from a player.

For example, one island (a place where a plurality of slot machines or a place where a plurality of pachinko game machines gather) is, for example, one island (a place where a plurality of slot machines are gathered). It is a device provided corresponding to. This gaming device is a lending device that lends a medal used in a slot machine or a game ball used in a pachinko gaming machine by inserting a prepaid card from a player, for example.

The gaming device is not limited to these, and may be any other device as long as it is installed in a game store.

The gaming device includes liquid crystal display means for displaying the menu screens of FIGS. 18 and 19, and a screen operation switch (corresponding to the screen operation switch 205). As a result, the player can control the user mode from the gaming device. In addition, the gaming device includes a notification unit that executes a mission achievement notification when the mission is achieved. The gaming device, which allows the gaming device to cause the player to recognize that the mission has been accomplished. For example, in the case of a data display device, the achievement of the mission is notified by causing a predetermined light emitting means (lamp) to emit light.

Note that the menu screens of the gaming devices provided corresponding to the pachinko gaming machines and slot machines are the same as those in FIGS. 18 and 19. Specifically, when the "password" of FIG. 18(D) is determined and a proper password is entered, the normal user mode of the pachinko gaming machine and slot machine corresponding to the gaming device for which the password is entered. Is started. Further, when "simple start" of FIG. 18D is determined, the simple user mode of the pachinko gaming machine and slot machine corresponding to the gaming device for which "simple start" is determined is started. Further, when "end user mode" is determined in FIG. 19D, the user mode controlled in the pachinko gaming machine and slot machine corresponding to the gaming device for which "user mode end" is determined is ended. It

On the other hand, regarding the menu screen of FIG. 18 of the gaming device provided without being compatible with the pachinko gaming machine and the slot machine, when the “password” and the “simple start” of FIG. 18B are determined, Before the screen of 18(D) is displayed, a "designation input screen in which the player can designate a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine for starting the normal user mode or the simple user mode" is displayed. When "Easy Start" is determined after the slot machine or the pachinko gaming machine that starts the normal user mode or the simple user mode is designated on the designation input screen, the simple operation is performed on the designated slot machine or the pachinko gaming machine. User mode is started. Further, when the "password" is determined and a proper password is entered after the slot machine or the pachinko gaming machine that starts the normal user mode or the simple user mode is designated on the designation input screen, the normal user The mode is started.

Regarding the menu screen of FIG. 19 of the game device provided without supporting the pachinko gaming machine and slot machine, when the “user mode” of FIG. 19(B) is determined, the screen of FIG. 19(D) is displayed. Before is displayed, a "designation input screen that allows the player to designate a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine that terminates the normal user mode or the simple user mode" is displayed. In the designated input screen, when the "end of user mode" is determined after the slot machine or the pachinko gaming machine that ends the normal user mode or the simple user mode is designated, in the designated slot machine or the pachinko gaming machine. The controlled user mode is terminated.

The gaming machine further exhibits the following effects.
(1) As described with reference to FIGS. 18A to 18C, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not started only by operating the determination switch. The simple user mode of the user modes is started when the left switch is operated and then the determination switch is operated and "easy start" is determined, as described in FIGS. 18B and 18D. To be done. In the normal user mode among the user modes, as described with reference to FIGS. 18B and 18D, the left switch is operated, then the decision switch is operated, and the “password” is decided, and the proper password is set. It will start when it is entered. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(2) As shown in FIGS. 18(A) and 18(B), when the demonstration screen is displayed, the decision switch is operated, so that there is no relation to the execution of the control for starting the user mode. The menu top screen is displayed with "" selected. When the determination switch is operated while the menu top screen is displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game explanation" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

(3) As shown in FIGS. 18(A) to 18(C), if only the decision switch is operated during the display of the demo screen, the menu top screen of FIG. 18(B) and the game explanation screen of FIG. 18(C) are displayed. Is looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch.

(4) As described with reference to FIGS. 19A to 19C, the controlled user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) is not ended only by operating the determination switch. As for the controlled user mode, as described with reference to FIGS. 19B and 19D, the left switch is operated, and then the determination switch is operated to determine the “user mode”. It is terminated when "end mode" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode is not terminated, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated regardless of the intention of the player.

(5) The menu is displayed with the "game history" selected that is not related to the execution of the control for ending the user mode by operating the decision switch while the demo screen during user mode control is displayed. The top screen is displayed. When the determination switch is operated while the menu top screen is displayed, the "user mode" is not determined, but the "game history" is determined. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch, the user mode is not terminated, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated regardless of the intention of the player.

(6) As shown in FIGS. 19(A) to (C), if only the decision switch is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the menu top screen of FIG. 19(B) and the game history screen of FIG. 19(C) are displayed. Is looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not ended only by operating the determination switch.

(7) Since the normal user mode is a mode in which the password is input after the "password" described in FIG. 18D is determined, the same player is playing the game. It is a mode with high possibility. As shown in FIG. 22B, in the normal user mode, even if a mission is accomplished multiple times, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the mission is accomplished. That is, in the normal user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed only when the mission is first achieved under the control of the normal user mode, and the mission achievement notification is not executed when the second and subsequent missions are achieved. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling the annoyance of repeatedly performing the mission achievement notification.

On the other hand, the simple user mode is a mode controlled by the "simple start" described in FIG. 18D being determined. That is, the simple user mode requires less operations to control than the normal user mode, and is a mode in which the player can easily play the game. Therefore, the simple user mode is a mode that is likely to be determined by the player based on his or her interest. The player A who has played a game in the simple user mode with an interest in mind may quit the game in a state where the simple user mode continues without ending the simple user mode (see FIG. 19C). In such a state where the simple user mode continues, the player B who does not know that the simple user mode continues may play a game in the simple user mode. As described above, in the simple user mode, the players may be exchanged. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22(A), in the simple user mode, the mission achievement notification is executed every time the mission is accomplished. Therefore, in the simple user mode, even when the players are replaced, the mission achievement notification is executed for each of the player A before the replacement and the player B after the replacement each time the mission is completed. By doing so, the interest of the game can be improved.

(8) In the normal user mode, when the mission achievement notification is executed once, the mission achievement notification completion flag is set. The mission achievement informed flag is erased when the normal user mode ends. While the mission success notification flag is set, the mission success notification is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to surely execute the control "even if a plurality of missions are achieved, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time the missions are accomplished".

[Modification]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications and the like applicable to the present invention will be described. Further, at least two of the technical matters described in the present embodiment described above and the technical matters described in the following modified examples may be implemented in combination, and the technical matters described in the present embodiment described above. May be carried out by substituting the technical matters described in the following modified examples for implementation, or the substituted items may be implemented by further combining the technical matters described in the following modified examples. .. In the following, a modified example of the slot machine will be mainly described, but it is also applicable to a pachinko gaming machine or a gaming machine.

[About screen transition control in normal mode]
(1) In the present embodiment, in the normal mode, as shown in FIG. 18, when only the determination switch 202 is operated, the menu top screen of FIG. 18(B) and the game explanation screen of FIG. 18(C) are displayed. Has been described as executing a screen transition control that loops. However, when only the decision switch 202 is operated, the screen transition control that loops may be another control.

FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining a first modified example of screen transition control in the normal mode. The screen to be looped may be a loop as shown in FIG. Comparing FIG. 24 and FIG. 18, the transition destination screen from the game explanation screen (see FIG. 18C and FIG. 24C) is FIG. 18, which is the menu top screen of FIG. 18B. On the other hand, FIG. 24 is a demo screen of FIG. 24(A), and both figures are different. Even in such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202.

When the menu top screen is displayed by operating the determination switch 202 during the demo screen display period, the return destination screen may be the demo screen or the menu top screen. Further, when the menu top screen is displayed by operating the determination switch 202 during the normal screen display period, the return destination screen is preferably the menu top screen instead of the demo screen. The reason is that when the menu top screen is displayed by operating the decision switch 202 during the normal screen display period, if the return screen is a demo screen, the player feels uncomfortable. Because it will be.

(2) As the screen transition control in which the user mode is not determined by operating only the determination switch 202, the screen transition as shown in FIG. 18 is executed. However, other control may be used as long as it is a screen transition control that does not allow the user mode to be determined by operating only the determination switch 202.

(2-1) FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining a second modified example of the screen transition control in the normal mode. The sub-control unit 91 may execute screen transition control as shown in FIG. 25. The main difference between FIG. 18 and FIG. 25 is that in FIG. 18, the menu top screen of FIG. 18(B) is displayed with “game explanation” selected, whereas in FIG. The point is that the menu top screen of FIG. 25(B) is displayed with the “user mode” selected.

When the enter switch 202 is operated while the demo screen shown in FIG. 25(A) is displayed, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 25(B) is displayed. 25A to 25B may be transited by operating only the determination switch 202. Further, FIG. 25(A) to FIG. 25(B) may be transited when the decision switch 202 is operated or another operation is performed.

In the menu screen of FIG. 25(B), there are a plurality of selectable items, “game description”, “member registration”, “user mode”, and “return”. “User mode” is an item related to execution of control for starting the user mode. "Game description", "member registration", and "return" are items that are not related to the execution of the control for starting the user mode.

When the decision switch 202 is operated on the demo screen, the menu top screen is displayed with the "user mode" selected, as shown in FIG. 25(B). Therefore, when the determination switch 202 is operated in this state, the user mode screen is displayed as shown in FIG. The screen of FIG. 25(C) is displayed with "Easy start" selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, as shown in FIG. 25D, a selection presenting screen that presents a selection as to whether or not to start the simple start is displayed. The selection presentation screen of FIG. 25D is displayed in a state in which an item (NO item) that does not start the easy start is selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, the screen returns to the menu top screen of FIG. 25(B) as indicated by the solid arrow.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 25(A) to 25(D), when only the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen is displayed, the screen of FIG. 25(A)→the screen of FIG. 25(B). FIG. 25(B) to FIG. 25(C)→FIG. 25(D)→FIG. 25(B)→FIG. 25(C)→FIG. 25(D)→FIG. 25(B). It will loop between the screens shown in (D). Therefore, when the demo screen is displayed, the user mode is not determined even if only the determination switch 202 is operated.

In order to determine the normal user mode (start the normal user mode), by operating the left switch 201 on the screen of FIG. 25C, "password" is selected, and by operating the determination switch 202. , "Password" is decided. When the "password" is determined, a password input screen in which a password for starting the normal user mode can be input is displayed. When a proper password is entered on the password entry screen, the normal user mode is started.

To determine the simple user mode (start the simple user mode), by operating the left switch 201 on the screen of FIG. 25D, “YES” is selected, and in this state, the determination switch 202 is pressed. Manipulate. This operation starts the simple user mode. As described above, in order to determine the user mode, it is necessary to operate not only the determination switch 202 but also other buttons.

Note that in the example of FIG. 25, an example in which the menu top screen is displayed during the demo screen display period has been described. However, similar control is executed even if the menu top screen is displayed during the normal screen display period. The similar control means that the operation of only the decision switch 202 loops between the screens of FIGS. 25B to 25D, so that the “user mode” is not decided, and not only the operation of the decision switch 202. The control is such that the user mode is determined when another button is operated.

Even in the screen transition control shown in FIG. 25, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) can be prevented from being started only by operating the decision switch 202, as in FIG. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the decision switch 202, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

Further, by operating only the decision switch 202, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between the screens of FIGS. 25B to 25D.

Further, as a further modification of FIG. 25, when “NO” is determined on the selection presentation screen of FIG. 25(D), the demo screen of FIG. 25(A) is returned to as shown by a dashed arrow. You can That is, when only the decision switch 202 is operated, FIG. 25(A)→FIG. 25(B)→FIG. 25(C)→FIG. 25(D)→FIG. 25(A)→FIG. 25(B)→FIG. 25(C )→FIG. 25(D)→FIG. 25(A)... As a result, the screens shown in FIGS. 25(A) to 25(D) are looped. Even in such a further modification, by operating only the decision switch 202, the user mode can be changed only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between the screens of FIGS. It can impress that it will not be started.

(2-2) FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining a third modified example of the screen transition control in the normal mode. The sub control unit 91 may execute screen transition control as shown in FIG. 26. Further, in the third modified example, in the password issuing process by the management server 1200, the password (“AAAA” in this modified example) input by operating only the decision switch 202 is not issued as a proper password.

When the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen shown in FIG. 26(A) is displayed, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 26(B) is displayed. 26A to 26B may be transited by operating only the determination switch 202. Further, FIG. 26A to FIG. 26B may be transited when the decision switch 202 is operated and another operation is performed.

In the menu screen of FIG. 26B, there are a plurality of selectable items, "game description", "member registration", "user mode", and "return". “User mode” is an item related to execution of control for starting the user mode. "Game description", "member registration", and "return" are items that are not related to the execution of the control for starting the user mode.

When the decision switch 202 is operated on the demo screen, as shown in FIG. 26B, the menu top screen is displayed with the “user mode” selected. Therefore, when the determination switch 202 is operated in this state, the user mode screen is displayed as shown in FIG. In addition, the screen of FIG. 26C is displayed with the “password” selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, the password input screen shown in FIG. 26D is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 26(D), the player's password input process is a process of inputting four-digit symbols (such as alphabetic characters) constituting the password one by one. The player selects the one-digit symbol to be input with the left switch 201 or the right switch 203. The left symbol is selected when the player operates the left switch 201. When the player operates the right switch 203, the right symbol is selected. The selected symbol is displayed at the bottom. Further, the selected symbol has a color obtained by inverting the color of the unselected symbol. By performing such control, the player can intuitively recognize the selected symbol. When the decision switch 202 is operated, the selected symbol is input as one digit of the four digit password. When the input of the four-digit symbol is completed, “decision” is automatically selected (see FIG. 26(H)). When the decision switch 202 is operated with the "decision" selected, the slot machine 1 accepts the entered 4-digit symbol as a password and determines whether the entered password is a proper password. To judge. When it is determined that the input password is a proper password, the slot machine 1 controls to the normal user mode. On the other hand, when it is determined that the entered password is not a proper password, the slot machine 1 causes the character indicating that the entered password is not a proper password (as shown in FIG. 26(I), " The password is wrong”) is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 26D, the symbol “A” is selected. When the player operates the left switch 201 while the symbol "A" is selected, the symbol "@" on the left side is selected. When the player operates the right switch 203 while the symbol "A" is selected, the symbol "B" on the right side is selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated with the symbol “A” selected, the symbol “A” is input as shown in FIG.

When the “password” is determined in the state of FIG. 26(C), the password input screen is displayed with the symbol “A” selected as shown in FIG. 26(D). When the decision switch 202 is operated with the symbol “A” in FIG. 26D selected, the symbol “A” is input and the symbol “A” is input as shown in FIG. The screen switches to the password input screen when is selected.

When the decision switch 202 is operated with the symbol "A" in FIG. 26E selected, the symbol "A" is input as shown in FIG. 26F and the symbol "A" is input. The screen switches to the password input screen when is selected.

When the decision switch 202 is operated with the symbol “A” in FIG. 26(F) selected, the symbol “A” is input as shown in FIG. 26(G) and the symbol “A” is input. The screen switches to the password input screen when is selected.

When the determination switch 202 is operated with the symbol “A” in FIG. 26G selected, the symbol “A” is input as shown in FIG. Switch to the password input screen in the selected state.

When the decision switch 202 is operated in the state where "decide" in FIG. 26(H) is selected, the character "password is wrong" is displayed as shown in FIG. 26(I). By displaying such characters, it is possible for the player to recognize that the inputted symbol string “AAAA” is not a proper password.

When the decision switch 202 is operated while the screen of FIG. 26(I) is displayed, the screen returns to the menu top screen of FIG. 26(B).

That is, as shown in FIGS. 26(A) to (I), when only the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen is displayed, FIG. 26(A)→FIG. 26(B)→FIG. 26(D)→26(E)→26(F)→26(G)→26(H)→26(I)→26(B)→... As described above, the screens shown in FIGS. 26B to 26I are looped. Therefore, when the demo screen is displayed, the user mode is not determined even if only the determination switch 202 is operated.

In order to determine the normal user mode (start the normal user mode), an appropriate password is input by operating the left switch 201 or the right switch 203 in the password input screen of FIG. In order to determine the simple user mode (start the simple user mode), by operating the left switch 201 on the screen of FIG. 26C, “easy start” is selected, and in this state the decision switch 202 To operate. This operation starts the simple user mode. As described above, in order to determine the user mode, it is necessary to operate not only the determination switch 202 but also other buttons.

In the example of FIG. 26, the menu top screen is displayed during the demo screen display period. However, similar control is executed even if the menu top screen is displayed during the normal screen display period. The similar control means that the operation of only the decision switch 202 does not determine the “user mode” by looping between the screens of FIGS. The control is such that the user mode is determined when another button is operated.

Even in the screen transition control shown in FIG. 26, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) can be prevented from being started only by operating the decision switch 202, as in FIG. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the decision switch 202, the user mode does not start, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from starting regardless of the player's intention.

Further, by operating only the decision switch 202, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between the screens of FIGS. 26(B) to (I).

As a further modified example of FIG. 26, when the decision switch 202 is operated on the screen of FIG. 26(I), the demo screen of FIG. 26(A) is displayed again as indicated by a broken arrow. You can That is, when only the decision switch 202 is operated, FIG. 26(A)→FIG. 26(B)→FIG. 26(C)→FIG. 26(D)→FIG. 26(E)→FIG. 26(F)→FIG. 26(G )→FIG. 26(H)→FIG. 26(I)→FIG. 26(A)→... As a result, the screens shown in FIGS. 26(A) to (I) are looped. Even in such a further modification, by operating only the decision switch 202, the user mode can be changed only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between the screens of FIGS. It can impress that it will not be started.

Further, as a further second modified example of FIG. 26, control may be executed such that the password is not input only by operating the decision switch 202. For example, although the screen of FIG. 26D has been described as being displayed with the symbol “A” selected, it may be displayed with “Back” selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated with "Return" selected, the screen returns to the previous screen (that is, the screen of FIG. 26C). With such a configuration, only by operating the determination switch 202, the screen of FIG. 26C and the screen of FIG. 26D are looped. By performing such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202, and a useless password (a password that does not start the normal user mode. In the example of FIG. 28, It is possible to prevent the password "AAAAA") from being input.

[About screen transition control in user mode]
(1) In the present embodiment, when only the decision switch 202 is operated in the user mode as shown in FIG. 19, the menu top screen of FIG. 19B and the game history screen of FIG. 19C are displayed. Has been described as executing a screen transition control that loops. However, when only the decision switch 202 is operated, the screen transition control that loops may be another control.

FIG. 27 is a diagram for explaining a first modified example of screen transition control in the user mode. The screen to be looped may be a loop as shown in FIG. Comparing FIG. 27 and FIG. 19, the transition destination screen from the game history screen (see FIG. 19C and FIG. 27C) is FIG. 19 which is the menu top screen of FIG. 19B. On the other hand, FIG. 27 is different from the other screens in that it is the demo screen of FIG. Even in such a loop, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202.

When the menu top screen is displayed by operating the determination switch 202 during the demo screen display period, the return destination screen may be the demo screen or the menu top screen. Further, when the menu top screen is displayed by operating the determination switch 202 during the normal screen display period, the return destination screen is preferably the menu top screen instead of the demo screen. The reason is that when the menu top screen is displayed by operating the decision switch 202 during the normal screen display period, if the return screen is a demo screen, the player feels uncomfortable. Because it will be.

(2) As the screen transition control in which the user mode is not determined by operating only the determination switch 202, the screen transition as shown in FIG. 19 is executed. However, other control may be used as long as it is a screen transition control that does not allow the user mode to be determined by operating only the determination switch 202.

FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the second modified example of the screen transition control in the user mode. The sub control unit 91 may execute screen transition control as shown in FIG. 28. The main difference between FIG. 19 and FIG. 28 is that, in FIG. 19, the menu top screen of FIG. 19B is displayed with “game history” selected, whereas in FIG. The point is that the menu top screen of FIG. 28(B) is displayed with the “user mode” selected.

When the decision switch 202 is operated while the demo screen shown in FIG. 28(A) is displayed, the menu top screen shown in FIG. 28(B) is displayed. The transition from FIG. 28A to FIG. 28B may be made by operating only the determination switch 202. Further, FIG. 28(A) to FIG. 28(B) may be changed when the decision switch 202 is operated or another operation is performed.

In the menu screen of FIG. 28B, a plurality of selectable items include "game history", "user mode", and "return". “User mode” is an item related to execution of control for ending the user mode. "Game history" and "return" are items that are not related to execution of control for ending the user mode.

When the enter switch 202 is operated on the demo screen, the menu top screen is displayed with the "user mode" selected, as shown in FIG. 28(B). Therefore, when the determination switch 202 is operated in this state, the user mode screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 28(C). In addition, the screen of FIG. 28C is displayed in a state where “End User Mode” is selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, a selection presenting screen that presents a selection as to whether or not to end the user mode in FIG. 28D is displayed. The selection presentation screen of FIG. 28D is displayed with the item (NO item) that does not start the simple start selected. When the decision switch 202 is operated in this state, the screen returns to the menu top screen of FIG. 28(B) as indicated by a solid arrow.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 28A to 28D, when only the decision switch 202 is operated when the demo screen is displayed, FIG. 28A→FIG. 28B→FIG. 28(B) to (D), such as (C)→FIG. 28(D)→FIG. 28(B)→FIG. 28(C)→FIG. 28(D)→FIG. 28(B). It will loop between the screens shown. Therefore, when the demo screen is displayed, even if only the determination switch 202 is operated, the end of the controlled user mode is not determined.

To determine the end of the user mode, in the screen of FIG. 28D, the left switch 201 is operated to select “YES”, and the determination switch 202 is operated to end the user mode. As described above, in order to end the user mode, not only the operation of the decision switch 202 but also the operation of other buttons is required.

In the example of FIG. 28, the example of displaying the menu top screen during the demo screen display period has been described. However, similar control is executed even if the menu top screen is displayed during the normal screen display period. The similar control means that the operation of only the decision switch 202 loops between the screens of FIGS. 28B to 28D, so that the “user mode” is not ended, and not only the operation of the decision switch 202. The control is such that the user mode is terminated when another button is operated.

Even in the screen transition control shown in FIG. 28, similarly to FIG. 19, the user mode (simple user mode and normal user mode) can be prevented from ending only by operating the decision switch 202. Therefore, for example, when the player repeatedly hits the determination switch 202, the controlled user mode is not terminated, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated regardless of the player's intention. ..

Further, by operating only the decision switch 202, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between the screens of FIGS. 28B to 28D.

Further, as a further modification of FIG. 28, when “NO” is determined on the selection presentation screen of FIG. 28D, the demo screen of FIG. 28A is returned to as shown by a dashed arrow. You can That is, when only the decision switch 202 is operated, FIG. 28(A)→FIG. 28(B)→FIG. 28(C)→FIG. 28(D)→FIG. 28(A)→FIG. 28(B)→FIG. 28(C )→FIG. 28(D)→FIG. 28(A)... As a result, the screens shown in FIGS. 28(A) to (D) are looped. Even in such a further modification, by operating only the decision switch 202, the user mode can be changed by looping between the screens of FIGS. 28A to 28D. It can impress that it will not be started.

[Return destination screen]
In the present embodiment and the modified examples, in the screen transition control in the normal mode or the user mode, the screen to which the last screen returns is the demo screen or the menu top screen. However, the return destination screens are not limited to these screens, and may be as follows. For example, a case will be described where a configuration is adopted in which N (N is an integer of 2 or more) screens G1 to GN are transitioned by operating only the determination switch 202. Of the N screens G1 to GN, the screen G1 is called the "first screen" and the screen GN is called the "last screen". Note that, for example, in the example of FIG. 18, the first screen G1 corresponds to the demo screen, the screen G2 corresponds to the menu top screen, and the last screen GN (=G3) corresponds to the game explanation screen.

In the case of adopting a configuration of transitioning N screens G1 to GN, when the determination switch 202 is operated in a state where the last screen GN is displayed, which one of the screens G1 to GN-1 is displayed. You may return to. Even with such a configuration, by operating only the decision switch 202, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202 by looping between predetermined screens.

Further, when the determination switch 202 is operated while the first screen G1 is displayed, the second screen G2 may be displayed with “Return” selected. Here, if the decision switch 202 is operated with "Return" selected, the screen returns to the previous screen. For example, in the examples of FIGS. 18, 19, and 24 to 28, the menu top screen (FIG. 18(B), FIG. 19(B), and FIG. 24(B) to FIG. 28 is selected with “Return” selected. (B)) is displayed. That is, when only the determination switch 202 is operated while the first screen G1 is displayed, the first screen G1 and the second screen G2 are looped. Therefore, it is possible to make an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202 by displaying only the first screen G1 and the second screen G2 without displaying the third and subsequent screens. Therefore, it is possible to immediately give the player an impression that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202.

[Operation]
The operation of the determination switch 202 is referred to as a first operation, and at least one of the operation of the right switch 203 and the operation of the left switch 201 is referred to as a second operation. In the present embodiment and this modification, the first operation is performed and the second operation is performed for the control for starting the user mode and the control for terminating the controlled user (hereinafter, referred to as “start/end control”). It was described that it is executed when the first operation is performed and not when only the first operation is performed.

However, the first operation and the second operation may be other operations. For example, a case will be described in which the screen operation switch 205 is not provided. When such a configuration is adopted, the functions of the left switch 201, the determination switch 202, and the right switch 203 may be provided to the left stop switch 8L, the effect switch 56, and the right stop switch 8R, respectively. .. When such a configuration is adopted, the first operation is the operation of the effect switch 56, and the second operation is the operation of the left stop switch 8L and the right stop switch 8R.

Further, in both the normal mode and the user mode, the operation unit operated to determine the selected item is the determination switch 202. However, the operation unit operated to determine the selected item may be different in the normal mode and the user mode. For example, the operation switch operated to determine the selected item in the normal mode is the determination switch 202, while the operation unit operated to determine the selected item in the user mode. May be the stop switch 8C.

Further, in both the normal mode and the user mode, the operation unit operated to select the item is the left switch 201 and the right switch 203. However, the operation unit operated to select an item may be different in the normal mode and the user mode. For example, in the normal mode, the operation unit operated to determine the selected item is the left switch 201 and the right switch 203, while in the user mode, it is operated to determine the selected item. The operated unit may be the stop switch 8L or the stop switch 8R.

The start/end control may be executed by performing the second operation after the first operation. The start/end control may be executed by performing the first operation after the second operation. The start/end control may be executed by performing the second operation while performing the first operation. The start/end control may be executed by performing the first operation while performing the second operation. The start/end control may be executed by simultaneously performing the first operation and the second operation.

[Mode]
(1) In the following, a mode that is started when the first operation is performed and the second operation is performed and is not started even when only the first operation is performed is referred to as a specific mode. The specific mode is a mode that is ended when the first operation is performed and the second operation is performed, and is a mode that is not ended even when only the first operation is performed. The specific mode may be a mode that is not related to the progress of the game. Further, the specific mode may be a mode that is not related to the degree of advantage for the player. In the present embodiment, the specific mode has been described as the user mode. However, the specific mode may be another mode.

The specific mode may be a specific effect execution mode. The specific effect execution mode is a mode in which the specific effect is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition means, for example, a condition that is satisfied when the mission is achieved. According to such a configuration, in the state where the specific effect execution mode is not controlled (for example, the state where the specific effect non-execution mode described later is controlled), the specific effect execution mode is irrelevant to the player's intention. It is possible to prevent it from being started. Further, regardless of the player's intention, it is possible to prevent the controlled specific effect execution mode from ending as much as possible.

The specific mode may be a specific effect non-execution mode. The specific effect non-execution mode is a mode in which the specific effect is not executed even if a predetermined condition is satisfied. According to such a configuration, in the state where the specific effect non-execution mode is not controlled (for example, the state where the specific effect non-execution mode is controlled), the specific effect non-execution mode is started regardless of the player's intention. Can be prevented as much as possible. Further, regardless of the player's intention, it is possible to prevent the controlled specific effect non-execution mode from ending as much as possible.

The specific mode may be a game history storage mode. The game history storage mode is a mode in which the game history of the player is stored according to the progress of the game. According to such a configuration, in a state where the game history storage mode is not controlled (for example, a state where the game history non-storage mode is described later), the game history storage mode is set regardless of the player's intention. It is possible to prevent it from being started. Further, regardless of the player's intention, it is possible to prevent the controlled game history storage mode from ending as much as possible.

The specific mode may be a game history non-memorizing mode. The game history non-memorizing mode is a mode in which the game history is not stored even if the game progresses. According to such a configuration, in the state where the game history non-memorizing mode is not controlled (for example, the state where the game history non-memorizing mode is controlled), the game history non-memorizing mode is started regardless of the player's intention. Can be prevented as much as possible. Further, it is possible to prevent the controlled game history non-memorizing mode from ending as much as possible regardless of the player's intention.

In addition, the specific mode may be a mode in which the aspect of the effect changes as compared to before the control to the specific mode. Here, the aspect of the effect is, for example, the volume of the effect, the brightness of the effect screen, or the like. That is, the specific mode is, for example, a mode in which the sound volume of the effect becomes louder before being controlled to the specific mode. With such a configuration, only by operating the determination switch 202, it is possible to increase the volume of the effect, decrease the volume of the effect, brighten the brightness of the effect, or darken the brightness of the effect. It can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the aspect of the effect from changing regardless of the player's intention.

(2) The "mode in which the mission achievement notification is executed each time a set of seven outcomes is derived" is called the first mode. The second mode is "a mode in which the mission achievement notification is first executed when the 7th match result is derived, and the mission achievement notification is not executed even if the 7th match result is derived after the mission achievement notification is executed". It is called mode. In the present embodiment, the second mode is the normal user mode, and the first mode is the simple user mode in which the operation amount for controlling is smaller than that in the normal user mode. However, the first mode may be a combination of the first mode and the second mode as long as the operation amount for controlling is smaller than that of the second mode.

In addition, the first mode may be a mode that is controlled without any operation from the player, that is, a normal mode. When the first mode is the normal mode, the second mode may be either the simple user mode or the normal user mode in which the amount of operation is larger than that in the first mode (normal mode).

(3) In the present embodiment, the user mode has been described as being a mode controlled based on the operation of the player (operation of the screen operation switch 205). However, the user mode may be controlled based on the player's intention display. Here, the player's intention display may include not only the player's operation but also the player's voice, the player's action, and the like. The slot machine 1 further includes an intention display information acquisition unit that acquires information related to the player's intention display.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the “information relating to the player's intention display” and the “intention display information acquisition means” will be described. The information regarding the player's intention display may be a voice from the player. In this case, the intention display information acquisition means is a voice recognition means. The sub control unit 91 controls the mode according to the voice recognition result by the voice recognition means. For example, when the player utters "simple user mode", the voice recognition means recognizes the uttered voice to control to the simple user mode. When the player utters "normal user mode", the voice recognition means controls the normal user mode by recognizing the uttered voice.

The information regarding the player's intention display may be an action by the player. In this case, the intention display information acquisition unit may be a motion detection unit (sensor). The sub control unit 91 controls the mode according to the result of the motion detection by the motion detection means. Further, the operation for controlling to the simple user mode and the operation for controlling to the normal user mode are predetermined. The operation for controlling in the simple user mode is, for example, holding the player's hand over the operation detecting means. Further, the operation of controlling in the normal user mode is, for example, holding the portable terminal held by the player over the operation detecting means.

In the case of such a configuration, when the player holds the player's hand over the motion detection means, the sub control unit 91 controls to the simple user mode. Further, when the player holds the player's morphological terminal over the motion detection means, the sub-control unit 91 controls the normal user mode.

[About production related processing]
(1) In the production-related process of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, a first determination process of determining whether to give an experience value and a second determination process of determining whether to execute an AT winning notification. It has been described that the determination process is also used (both processes are S66). However, the first determination process and the second determination process may be separate processes. In the case of such a configuration, the sub-control unit 91 executes an effect based on the processing result of the first determination processing and the processing result of the second determination processing.

For example, when it is determined that the experience value is given in the first determination process and the AT winning notification is determined to be executed in the second determination process, the sub-control unit 91 executes the mission achievement notification and the AT winning notification. When it is determined that the experience value is not given in the first determination processing and the AT winning notification is determined to be executed in the second determination processing, the sub control unit 91 executes the AT winning notification without executing the mission achievement notification. To do. When it is determined in the first determination process that the experience value is given and the AT determination notification is not executed in the second determination process, the sub control unit 91 executes the mission achievement notification and does not execute the AT winning notification. When it is determined that the experience value is not given in the first determination processing and the AT winning notification is not performed in the second determination processing, the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the mission achievement notification or the AT winning notification. ..

(2) The erasure condition for erasing the “mission achievement notification flag” described in S84 of FIG. 21 has been described as a condition that is satisfied when the normal user mode ends. However, the erasing condition may be another condition. The sub-control unit 91 may be provided with a time measuring means (for example, RTC) capable of measuring time, and the erasing condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the time measuring means measures a predetermined time. For example, a predetermined time may be the closing time of the game shop. In this case, the set mission achievement informed flag is deleted when the closing time is reached. That is, the mission achievement notification is executed once a day for one player.

Further, the erasing condition may be a condition that is satisfied when the number of times the normal user mode is controlled reaches a predetermined number. Here, the number of times the normal user mode is controlled is counted as "1" when the normal user mode is started and the normal user mode is finished.

Moreover, the erasing condition may not exist. That is, once the mission achievement notification is executed for one player, the mission achievement notification may not be executed for the player forever. In the case of such a configuration, the two-dimensional code issued at the end of the user mode may include information capable of specifying that the mission achievement informed flag is set. That is, the management server 1200 can manage whether or not the mission achievement notification completion flag has been set. Even if the player plays a game in a slot machine of the same model as and different from the slot machine played in the user mode, the mission achievement notification completion flag can be set in the RAM 91c of the slot machine. Therefore, even if the player changes the slot machine, it is possible to prevent the mission achievement notification from being repeatedly executed for the player.

(3) In the following, a privilege that affects the gaming state of the player is a first privilege, and a privilege that is different from the awarding of the gaming value (medal) and that does not affect the gaming state is a second privilege. In this embodiment, the first benefit is the number of AT games and the second benefit is the experience value. The first benefit and the second benefit may be other benefits. For example, the first privilege may be a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the number of navigation games, which is the number of AT games, or a shift to a bonus state. The first benefit is not limited to this, and may be a value that is beneficial to the player in the progress of the game. For example, for notifying information for specifying whether or not so-called AT hiding, which has already acquired the number of AT games even though it is not in AT and has been determined to be controlled by AT, or a notification When it is performed, the information that is executed so that the AT latency is actually performed with a predetermined reliability (that is, the latency suggestion information that suggests the AT latency) may be notified. Further, the first privilege may be AT points, and the AT lottery (or the AT game number) may be executed when the AT points reach a predetermined number.

The second benefit is execution of a privilege effect (e.g. appearance of a special character), execution of a set value suggesting effect for suggesting a set value that has been set, and a game shop in which a certain number of game machines are installed. The points may be exchanged for the service defined in 1., and a two-dimensional code capable of downloading privilege images and privilege information on a predetermined website may be displayed.

Further, the concept of experience value and character level in the user mode may be omitted. In the case of such a configuration, in the user mode, no experience value is given even if the mission is completed (even if the 7th roll is derived), and the database described in FIGS. It becomes a database in which the columns of "experience value" and "level" are deleted, and the game history and the number of times the mission has been accomplished are stored.

(4) In the production-related processing of FIG. 21, the mission achievement notification condition in which the mission achievement notification can be executed is described as a condition that is satisfied by deriving the 7th match result. However, the mission achievement notification condition may be another condition. For example, the condition may be satisfied when a predetermined number (for example, 1000) of medals are paid out. Further, the mission achievement notification condition may be a condition that is satisfied by being controlled to a predetermined state (for example, AT) a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times).

(5) In the present embodiment, it is described that the sub-control unit 91 executes both the first determination process and the second determination process. However, the second determination process may be executed by the main control unit 41. In the case of such a configuration, the processing is executed according to the following flow. The main controller 41 executes AT lottery. When the AT winning is performed by the AT lottery, the main control unit 41 determines (determines) whether or not to execute the AT winning notification as the second determination process. When the main controller 41 determines to execute the AT winning notification, the main controller 41 issues to the sub controller 91 an AT winning notification execution command that can specify that the AT winning notification is to be executed. Send. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the AT winning notification execution command, it executes the AT winning notification at a predetermined timing. When the main control unit 41 determines not to execute the AT winning notification, the main control unit 41 does not send any command. In this case, the sub control unit 91 does not execute the AT winning notification. According to such a configuration, since the main control unit 41 executes the second determination process, the processing load on the sub control unit 91 is reduced as compared with the configuration in which the sub control unit 91 executes the second determination process. it can.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 has been described as performing the determination process (the process of S66) that determines whether or not to notify the 7-alignment pressing order. However, this determination process may be executed by the main control unit 41. In the case of such a configuration, the processing is executed according to the following flow. The main controller 41 executes AT lottery. When the AT is won by the AT lottery, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to notify the 7-set pushing order. When the main control unit 41 determines to notify the 7-match pressing order, the main control unit 41 sends to the sub-control unit 91 a 7-match pressing order notification command capable of specifying that the 7-match pressing order is notified. To send. The sub-control unit 91, when receiving the 7-group pressing order notification command, notifies the 7-group pressing order notification command (S72). When the main control unit 41 determines not to notify the 7-position pressing order, the main control unit 41 transmits a 7-position pressing order non-informing command to the sub control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the 7-group pressing order non-notification command, it does not report the 7-group pressing order, but reports a procedure different from the 7-group pressing order (S70). According to such a configuration, since the main control unit 41 executes the determination process for determining whether to notify the 7-position pressing order, the determination process for determining whether to notify the 7-position pressing order is performed. The processing load of the sub control unit 91 can be reduced as compared with the configuration executed by the sub control unit 91.

(6) Further, the AT lottery may be executed by the sub control unit 91. In this case, the sub control unit 91 executes the second determination process. Specifically, the sub control unit 91 executes AT lottery. When the AT is won by the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 91 determines (determines) whether or not to execute the AT winning notification as the second determination process. When it is determined to execute the AT winning notification, the sub control unit 91 executes the AT winning notification at a predetermined timing. With such a configuration, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the processes from the AT lottery to the AT winning notification, and the processing load on the main control unit 41 can be reduced. Further, the command transmission processing load on the main controller 41 can be reduced.

(7) In the present embodiment, it has been described that when 7 sets of Lips are won, AT is won at a rate of 100%. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which when a set of 7 replies is won, the AT is won at a predetermined rate (for example, 80%). When this configuration is adopted, FIG. 21 may be the following flowchart. The process of S64 of FIG. 21 is omitted, and the process of S66 is replaced with "Have you won the AT?". When YES is determined in S66, the process proceeds to S72, and when NO is determined in S66, the process proceeds to S70. Other processes are the same as those described in FIG.

Further, when this configuration is adopted, “when it is decided to give the experience value” and “when it is decided not to give the experience value” shown in FIG. Is replaced with “when AT is not won”.

According to such a configuration, when the AT is won, the 7-order pushing order is notified (S72), and the AT-winning notification is executed by deriving the 7-order result. The player can directly recognize it. On the other hand, when the AT is not won, a push order different from the 7-order push order is notified, and when the operated in the notified push order, the 7-order outcome is not derived. Can be directly recognized by the player.

As a further modification, a configuration may be adopted in which the third determination process of whether or not the AT is won and the fourth determination process of whether or not the experience value is given are combined. When such a configuration is adopted, it is determined that the experience value is given when the AT is won, and that the experience value is not given when the AT is not won. According to such a configuration, when the AT is won, both the AT game number and the experience value are given, and when the AT is not won, neither the AT game number nor the experience value is given. Therefore, it is possible to improve the degree of advantage between when the AT is won and when the AT is not won.

Further, the third determination process of whether or not the AT is won and the fourth determination process of whether or not the experience value is given may be separated. According to such a configuration, both the AT game number and the experience value are given, the AT game number is given but the experience value is not given, and the AT game number is not given but the experience value is given It is possible to cause any one of the situation, the situation in which neither the AT game number nor the experience value is given, and it is possible to give a variation to the difference in advantage.

(8) In the present embodiment, whether or not to execute the mission achievement notification and whether or not to execute the AT winning notification are determined by whether or not the experience value is given by the experience value determination processing (S64 of FIG. 21, S66) It was explained that it is decided. However, at least one of whether to execute the mission achievement notification and whether to execute the AT winning notification may be determined by another trigger. Regarding other triggers, for example, it may be determined whether or not it is established by a random number lottery or the like.

(9) Further, S64 of FIG. 21 may be set as “AT winning notification mode determination processing”, and the processing of S66 may be replaced with a determination process of “AT winning notification mode?”. The AT winning notification mode determination process is a process of determining a mode of notifying that the AT has been won by random number lottery. For example, the probability of determining the AT winning notification is 50%, and the probability of determining the character effect is 50%.

In this case, when YES is determined in S66, the process proceeds to S72 and the experience value is given. Further, when NO is determined in S66, the process proceeds to S70, and the experience value is not given. As a modified example, when NO is determined in S66, the process may proceed to S70 and the experience value may be given. Other processes are the same as those described in FIG.

According to such a configuration, by executing the "AT winning notification mode determination process" in S64, it is possible to directly determine the mode in which the AT winning mode is notified, thereby improving the enjoyment of the game. You can

[About notification]
(1) The mission achievement notification of the present embodiment has been described as displaying the characters “7 complete success! Experience value GET!”. That is, the mission achievement notification has been described as a notification that causes the player to directly recognize that the 7th outcome has been derived. However, the mission achievement notification may be a notification that does not allow the player to directly recognize that the 7th outcome has been derived. For example, the mission achievement notification may be an effect in which the characters “experience value GET!” are displayed and the characters “7 set success!” are not displayed.

(2) The AT winning notification according to the present embodiment has been described as displaying the characters "Congratulations on AT winning". However, the AT winning notification may be any notification as long as it is an effect to notify the information that can specify that the AT winning has been decided. For example, it may be an effect of displaying a character corresponding to the AT winning.

[About 7 results]
It has been described that the 7-match outcome of the present embodiment is an outcome that is derived when operated in the 7-alignment push order and operated at the 7-alignment outcome deriving timing. However, the 7-set item may be a lead-out item that is derived irrespective of the timing at which the stop switch is operated when operated in the 7-set pressing order. According to such a configuration, fairness can be ensured since seven consecutive outcomes are derived regardless of the skill level of the player.

Character) and are included. Although not shown in FIG. 30(A), this display screen also includes demonstration images during the demonstration.

FIG. 30B shows an example of the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51 when the enter switch is pressed once during the demo screen display period in the user mode. Referring to FIG. 30(B), on this display screen, information indicating that this screen is a menu screen (here, "menu" characters) and setting item choice information (here, "small win counter") are displayed. “History output” and “Return” characters) are included.

When the display screen of FIG. 30B is displayed, each time the left switch 201 or the right switch 203 is pressed, the option in the selected state (indicated by reverse characters here) is switched. When the decision switch 202 is pressed, the setting item of the option in the selected state is decided.

FIG. 30C shows the display of the liquid crystal display 51 when the decision switch is pressed for a long time in the demo screen display period in the user mode, and when the setting item of “history output” is decided on the menu screen. The example of a screen is shown. With reference to FIG. 30(C), on this display screen, information indicating that this screen is a history output screen (here, "history output" characters) and information indicating a game history (here, 2D code image in which the history of the game is encoded) is included.

When the display screen of FIG. 30(C) is displayed, the player shoots the two-dimensional code using the mobile terminal and accesses the management server 1200, whereby the game history can be accumulated.

Conventionally, the history output screen as shown in FIG. 30(C) has been migrated via a menu screen including options for displaying this screen. However, as described above, by changing the role of the same operation receiving means depending on the operation method, it is possible to directly shift to the history output screen without going through the menu screen.

FIG. 31 is a display screen diagram showing a third specific example in which the role of the decision switch 202 is changed depending on the operation mode. FIG. 31A shows an example of the display screen of the liquid crystal display 51 during the demo screen display period in the normal mode. With reference to FIG. 31(A), on this display screen, information indicating that a demo is in progress (here, “demo” is displayed) and information indicating that operating the decision switch 202 causes a transition to a predetermined screen (Here, an image of the left switch 201 and the right switch 203 in an inconspicuous mode (for example, a mode with a light color and no pattern) and the determination switch 202 in a conspicuous mode (for example, a mode with a dark color, a pattern) and a conspicuous Information that the menu switch is displayed when the decision switch 202 displayed in the mode is single-pressed, and the password input screen is displayed when the long-press is held (here, “single-press→menu”, “long-press→pass input”).

[About timer interrupt processing (sub)]
Next, the contents of the processing executed by the sub control unit 91 in the above-described embodiment will be described. The sub control unit 91 (CPU 91c) executes a timer interrupt process (sub) at intervals of 1.12 ms based on the count value of the internal clock. In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 first saves the register in use in the stack area. Then, a power failure determination process is performed. In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If the voltage drop signal is input, it is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal was also input in the previous power failure determination process. It is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal has been input in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that there is a power failure, and the power failure flag indicating that effect is set.

After the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not the power interruption flag is set, and if the power interruption flag is set, the process proceeds to the power interruption process (sub).

If the power failure flag is not set, command analysis processing is executed. In the command analysis processing, it is determined whether or not the command is stored in the command buffer, and if the command is stored in the command buffer, the command is acquired from the command buffer. Then, the processing according to the acquired command is executed.

Moreover, in the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 executes a continuous effect execution process. In the continuous effect execution process, the sub control unit 91 identifies that the ART lottery has been executed and the result thereof based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41, and performs the continuous effect over a plurality of games (for example, 5 games). Execute.

The sub-control unit 91 executes the continuous effect by displaying the effect image on the liquid crystal display 51. In an intermediate game (for example, the first to fourth games) up to the final game of the continuous production (for example, the fifth game), a production image indicating that the continuous production is continuously executed in the next game after the end of the game is displayed. To be done.

In the final game of continuous production, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to the operation reception period in which the operation of the production switch 56 is received after the symbols are stopped and the display result is derived. In the operation reception period, the operation promotion notification indicating that the operation reception period is in progress is executed by displaying the notification image from the liquid crystal display 51. When the effect switch 56 is operated during the operation acceptance period, a suggestion effect indicating the possibility of winning the ART lottery is executed as the effect result of the continuous effect. In the present embodiment, it is suggested that there is a 100% chance of winning the ART lottery, that is, a confirmation notification that the ART lottery has been won, or that there is a 0% chance that the ART lottery has won. That is, the confirmation notification that the player has not won the ART lottery is executed as the suggested effect.

Note that a battle effect can be given as an example of the continuous effect. In the battle production, a state in which a teammate character and an enemy character battle over a plurality of games is displayed. Then, the result of the effect is notified by the suggestive effect after the final game of the continuous effect. When the teammate character wins, the suggestion suggests that there is a 100% chance of winning the ART lottery. That is, the confirmation of the winning of the ART lottery is given. When the enemy character wins, the suggestion suggests that the probability of winning the ART lottery is 0%. That is, a confirmation notification is given that the player has not won the ART lottery.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the operation promotion notification during the operation reception period by either the first mode or the second mode.

Here, the following modes may be used as the first mode and the second mode. For example, an image showing the effect switch 56 may be displayed as the operation promotion notification, and the size of the image showing the effect switch 56 may be made different between the first mode and the second mode. Further, for example, an image showing the effect switch 56 may be displayed as the operation promotion notification, and the display mode of the image showing the effect switch 56 may be different between the first mode and the second mode (the first mode). In one mode, it is a normal display, but in the second mode, characters are added).

Then, which of the first mode and the second mode is used to perform the lottery is determined based on the ART lottery result. Specifically, when the ART lottery is won, the second mode has a higher probability of being selected than the first mode. Then, when the second mode is selected, it is further determined whether or not to display an image of the effect switch 56 with a specific pattern. The number of determination values in the lottery table is distributed so that the display probability of the image of the effect switch 56 with a specific pattern is higher when the ART lottery is won than when the ART lottery is not won. As a result, the effect of displaying the image of the effect switch 56 having a specific pattern is enhanced, and the enjoyment of the game is improved. In addition to the aspect in which a specific pattern is attached to the effect switch 56, it is also possible to display a specific pattern around the effect switch 56.

In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 outputs BGM output during the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56, and BGM output according to the game state (for example, whether or not bonus). A voice control process is performed to control the output of the included voice. Then, a predetermined time elapses in a state (hereinafter, also referred to as "non-operation state") in which an operation (operation related to progress of game, operation of effect switch 56, menu operation) that is accepted according to the state is not performed. When it does, the sound output is interrupted and the sound is muted.

The operation of the effect switch 56 is continuously accepted even when the BGM is muted during the operation acceptance period. Further, even when the BGM corresponding to the game state (for example, BGM in bonus) is muted, the game proceeding operation itself is continuously accepted. Also, when the BGM is muted during the menu operation reception period, the menu operation is continuously received.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the sound is muted when a predetermined time has passed in the non-operation state, but it is also possible to control so that various LEDs and lamps are turned off.

Further, in the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91, after the third stop operation is performed, a certain time (for example, 1 After the (minutes) has elapsed, execute the demo migration process that shifts to the demonstration state. Hereinafter, the demonstration state will be referred to as “demo state” or “demo”. When shifting to the demo state, the demonstration effect is executed by displaying the effect image from the liquid crystal display 51. As a result, the slot machine 1 is put in the standby state. However, in the operation acceptance period after the final game of continuous production, the demo state is not entered even if one minute has passed without any operation.

Further, in the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91, after the third stop operation is performed, a certain time (for example, 30 seconds) in a non-operation state in which the operation related to the progress of the game is not performed. When the time has passed, a menu operation acceptance process is executed to shift to a menu operation acceptance state that accepts a menu operation. However, as will be described later, in the operation acceptance period after the final game of the continuous effect, the menu operation acceptance state is not entered even after 30 seconds have passed without any operation.

It should be noted that the sub-control unit 91 executes notification of the menu operation reception state in the menu operation reception state by displaying a notification image from the liquid crystal display 51. However, this notification is different from the operation promotion notification during the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the menu operation is performed by the player-side setting switch 70 is given, but the menu operation can be combined with other switches. For example, a menu operation may be performed using the effect switch 56. In this case, it is preferable that the notification of the menu operation acceptance state and the operation promotion notification be different modes. For example, displaying images of switches having different colors or displaying images of switches having different patterns can be cited as an example. As a result, it is possible to let the player recognize that the use is different depending on the timing even with the same switch.

In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 performs the above-described suggestive effect when the effect switch 56 is operated in the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 after the end of the final game of continuous effect. Execute the suggested effect execution process.

[About menu operation reception processing]
Next, the menu operation reception process will be described. As shown in FIG. 32, in the menu operation reception process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the third stop operation is performed based on the command from the main control unit 41 (Sh1). If the third stop operation has not been performed (N in Sh1), the process ends.

When the third stop operation is performed (Y in Sh1), it is determined whether or not it is the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 (Sh2). That is, it is determined whether or not the operation acceptance period has elapsed after the end of the final game of continuous production. In the case of the operation acceptance period (Y in Sh2), the process ends.

If it is not during the operation acceptance period (N in Sh2), it is determined whether or not after the mid-game of the continuous effect has ended (Sh3). If it is after the end of the game in the middle of the continuous effect (Y in Sh3), the process ends.

If it is not after the end of the game in the middle of continuous production (N in Sh3), it is determined whether or not 30 seconds have passed in the non-operation state in which the operation related to the progress of the game is not performed after the third stop operation is performed. The determination is made (Sh4). When 30 seconds have passed from the third stop operation in the non-operation state (Y in Sh4), a menu operation reception process of receiving a menu operation is executed (Sh6).

When 30 seconds have not elapsed from the third stop operation in the non-operation state (N in Sh4), the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed during the operation acceptance period, and the operation of the effect switch 56 is in the non-operation state. It is determined whether 30 seconds have passed (Sh5). When 30 seconds have not elapsed from the operation of the effect switch 56 in the operation acceptance period in the non-operation state (N in Sh5), the process is ended. When 30 seconds have passed in the non-operation state from the operation of the effect switch 56 in the operation reception period (Y in Sh5), the menu operation reception process of shifting to the menu operation reception state in which the menu operation can be received is executed. (Sh6).

[About suggestive performance execution processing]
Next, the suggestive effect execution process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) will be described. As shown in FIG. 33, in the suggested effect execution process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not it is during the operation reception period (Sb1). That is, it is determined whether or not the operation acceptance period has elapsed after the end of the final game of continuous production. If it is not during the operation acceptance period (N in Sb1), the process ends.

If it is during the operation acceptance period (Y in Sb1), it is determined whether or not the effect switch 56 has been operated (Sb2). When the effect switch 56 is operated (Y in Sb2), a suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of winning the lottery result of the ART lottery is executed (Sb3). Further, the movable accessory is operated based on the operation of the effect switch 56 (Sb4).

The suggestion effect is executed by selecting any one of a plurality of kinds of effects including an effect (confirmation notification of winning the ART lottery) that suggests that there is a 100% chance of winning the ART lottery. When the ART lottery is won, the proportion of effects that suggest that there is a high possibility that the ART lottery is won is higher than when the ART lottery is not won.

When the effect switch is not operated (N in Sb2), it is determined whether or not the MAXBET switch 6 is operated (Sb5). If the MAXBET switch 6 has not been operated (N in Sb5), the process ends.

When the MAXBET switch 6 is operated (Y in Sb5), it is determined whether or not the ART lottery is won based on the command received from the main control unit 41 (Sb6). When the ART lottery is not won (N in Sb6), the effect canceling process for stopping the execution of the suggested effect is executed (Sb8).

If the player has won the ART lottery (Y in Sb6), the suggestion effect indicating that the probability of winning the ART lottery is 100% is executed (Sb7). That is, the confirmation notification of winning the ART lottery is executed by the suggestive effect.

At this time, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the effect being executed is not stopped and the confirmation notification is not immediately executed. When the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the suggestion effect is executed to the end and the effect is produced. As a result, the confirmation notification is executed. Specifically, for example, as a continuous production, a battle production in which a production image in which a teammate character and an enemy character battle each other is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is executed, and the teammate character wins the ART lottery. It will be confirmed. In this case, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the battle effect is not stopped and the appearance of the teammate character winning is displayed, but the state of the battle is displayed to the end and the appearance of the teammate character winning is displayed. To do.

[Regarding a specific example of limiting the transition to the menu operation acceptance state]
Next, a specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 34 shows a specific example of limiting the transition to the menu operation acceptance state.

As shown in FIG. 34, when the third stop operation is performed and the display result is derived in the final game of the continuous production, the operation acceptance period of the production switch 56 comes after the end of the game. During the operation acceptance period, the operation promotion notification is executed. Counting of the time from the lapse of 5 seconds from the third stop operation to the transition to the menu operation state is started. During the operation acceptance period, the menu operation acceptance state is not shifted to even after 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of counting. When the effect switch 56 is operated during the operation acceptance period, the suggested effect is executed. When 30 seconds elapse from the operation of the effect switch 56 without any operation related to the progress of the game, the state is shifted to the menu operation accepting state.

In addition, not only when 30 seconds have passed since the effect switch 56 was operated, the menu operation accepting state may be set when 30 seconds have passed since the suggestion effect was executed.

[Operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, the operation procedure of the stop switch has been described as including the concept of both the pressing order of the stop switch and the operation timing of the stop switch. However, the operation procedure of the stop switch may include the concept of either the pressing order of the stop switch or the operation timing of the stop switch.

[About reel]
In this embodiment, the number of reels is three. However, the number of reels may be one, two, or four or more. Further, when the number of reels is one, the concept of the operation procedure for deriving the display result for executing the mission achievement notification includes only the operation timing and does not include the pressing order.

[Setting change status and setting confirmation status]
When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the set value read from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed as a display value on the set value display 24, and the set value by operating the reset/setting switch 38 is displayed. You may make it shift to the setting change state which can be changed. Further, the setting change state may be changed to the setting change state on condition that “power supply ON”+“setting key switch ON”+“front door open detection”. As a result, it is possible to prevent unauthorized setting changes while the front door is not open. In addition, once the setting change status is entered, the setting change status is maintained regardless of whether the front door is open or closed until the end condition for ending the setting change status (the setting key switch is turned off after the set value is confirmed) is satisfied. You may do so. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not ended, so that it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting change state again.

In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with the bet number not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24, so that the setting value can be confirmed. Transition. Further, with respect to the setting confirmation state, it may be possible to shift to the setting confirmation state on condition that “setting key switch ON”+“front door open detection”.
