And a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on the command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400. Here, with respect to the main control unit 300, when the data capacity becomes large, there is a problem of security deterioration such that it becomes difficult to confirm the program and it becomes a hotbed for unauthorized modification, so the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. The data capacity of the RAM 308 is limited. The main controller 300 corresponds to an example of the lottery means, the stop controller, and the privilege granting means of the present invention, and the first sub controller 400 corresponds to an example of the display controller of the present invention.

<Main control unit>
First, the main controller 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used during internal lottery of winning combinations, and reel symbols. A ROM 306 that stores arrays and stop positions, a RAM 308 that temporarily stores data, an I/O 310 that controls input/output of various devices, and a counter timer 312 that measures time, the number of times, and the like. And a WDT (Watchdog Timer) 314. Other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and the same applies to the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500, which will be described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency division data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 determines the interrupt time based on the received frequency division data. Then, the interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 at each interrupt time. The CPU 304 executes monitoring of each sensor or the like and transmission of drive pulses in response to this interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the frequency division data of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256×47÷8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

The main control unit 300 uses a random number generation circuit 316 that is used as a hardware random number counter that changes a numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 based on a clock signal input from the crystal oscillator 315a, and a start signal when the power is turned on. A start signal output circuit 338 that outputs a (reset signal) is provided, and the CPU 304 starts game control when a start signal is input from the start signal output circuit 338 (main control unit main processing described later).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lottery table for internal winning combinations in the case of setting values 1 and 6. In this figure, the vertical axis shows the condition device number of the internal winning combination (condition device), and the horizontal axis shows the setting value. The setting value and the lottery value corresponding to the internal winning combination (the range of the lottery data (Size) is shown. Note that these lottery values are common to the four game states described above. If you do not internally win the condition device in the game, you lose and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. It should be noted that not stopping the symbol combination related to the winning on the winning line may be referred to as "missing". In addition, the fact that the player has not won the winning combination may be expressed as “winning the loss”.

In the gaming state described below, the internal winning probability of the winning combination is a random number value obtained during the internal drawing, from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306, numerical data corresponding to the range of the drawing data associated with each winning combination. It is obtained by a value divided by numerical data (for example, 65536) in the range. For example, with the setting value 1, the lottery value of the common bell (small win 18) of the condition device number 11 is 1200, and the winning probability thereof is 1200/65536≈1.83%.

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

The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each numerical range is associated with each winning combination or loss. It is determined which random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery corresponds to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination (internal winning combination) is determined. In addition, a staff member of a game shop or the like can arbitrarily select and set any of the set values.

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

<Normal state>
The normal state is the most unfavorable game state for the player. In the normal state, if the state B described later is set, pt can be acquired as the game progresses, and the cumulative acquisition pt increases (step S1209 in FIG. 15). When the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 1000 pt or more, the chance zone transfer lottery and the AT direct hit lottery are executed in exchange for 1000 pt (step S1215 in FIG. 15). FIG. 9 shows that if the player wins the chance zone transfer lottery in the normal state, the player moves to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B05 in FIG. 23). Further, it is shown that if the AT direct hit lottery is won in the normal state, the AT state is entered (arrow (E) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B01 in FIG. 23). Further, it is shown that when the number of chance zone shift games set in the normal state elapses, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B09 in FIG. 23). The number of chance zone transition games is set to the value set when the transition lottery in the state B described later is won in the normal state (step S1013 in FIG. 12).

<Chance zone (CZ)>
The chance zone is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to make a profit than in the normal state and is more advantageous than in the normal state. In this chance zone, when the push order bell (conditional device number 8 to 10) is internally won, a notification of the correct stop operation sequence (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as operation navigation) corresponding to each is displayed (Fig. 21 step S1505 and FIG. 30 step S3005). It should be noted that this operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may be the one indicating the timing of the stop operation, such as a display such as "Aim at...", and the pressing order and timing. Both may be shown. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push-order bell may be referred to as bell navigation. Note that, unlike the present embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which during CZ, the correct pressing order is displayed in 50% of the winning condition devices of the pressing order bell. In this case, while the profit is less likely to be obtained (is disadvantageous) than the AT state, the player can be in a more advantageous state than the normal state.

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

<AT state>
The AT state is a state advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the specialized zone. In this AT state, similar to the chance zone, when the internal push is selected for the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 10), the corresponding operation navigation is displayed, which is an advantageous state in which the player can easily make a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 21, step S3005 in FIG. 30). This AT state is managed by the number of remaining AT games, but this number of remaining AT games may be added by lottery (steps S1403 and S1405 in FIG. 19A). In this embodiment, the number of remaining AT games may be increased by clearing conditional addition (set in step S1409 of FIG. 19A) described later (step S1D03 of FIG. 23A). ..

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

<Specialized zone>
The specialized zone is a state advantageous to the player, along with the chance zone and the AT state. In this specialized zone, like the chance zone and the AT state, the operation navigation corresponding to each of the push order bells (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) is displayed, which makes it easier for the player to make a profit. 21 (step S1505 in FIG. 21, step S3005 in FIG. 30). In this specialized zone, the number of remaining AT games is not subtracted. In addition, the number of remaining AT games may be added (steps S1423 and S1425 in FIG. 19B).

In FIG. 9, when the specialization zone end condition (for example, the prescribed number of games (20 games in the present embodiment) has been established in the specialization zone, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (G) in FIG. 9, FIG. 25). (B) step S1D25) is shown. When the number of remaining AT games is 0 at the end of the specialization zone, the AT state is also ended and the state shifts to the normal state (step S1D27 in FIG. 25B).

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

As described above, when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to a state that is advantageous to the player, but if the state B continues for a long period of time, excessive profits are obtained, and even if the state is short, many By earning profits, there is a risk of fueling euphoria. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation, the following two conditions are separately provided as the condition for ending the state B. The first is the case where the state B has continued for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games), and this is managed using the number of games that the state B can continue (step S1E09 in FIG. 26). When No determination is made in step S1E03 of the next game, the result is Yes and the state A is entered). The second is a case where a predetermined net increase (for example, 2400) of medals is won from the time when the net increase is the lowest, and this is managed using the MY counter (FIG. 27(a)). If the result of step S1F21 is Yes, the step S1E03 immediately afterwards is Yes and the state A is entered).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S109, game start state processing is executed. Here, processing according to each gaming state and processing regarding display of operation navigation are performed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

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

In step S113, reel stop control processing is executed. In this process, when any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed after the stop operation is validated, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped. Specifically, every time a stop operation is performed, the stop table of the reel stop data is referred to and the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop operation are stopped according to the number of pull-in frames set in the stop table. Further, the reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared for the first stop operation, and the reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared for the second stop operation. It should be noted that preparation is made to transmit a corresponding command (first to third pressing command) to the first sub-control unit 400 for each stop operation, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a corresponding command (first 1 to 3 stop command) is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400. When all reels 110 to 112 have stopped, the process proceeds to step S115.

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

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

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

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

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

First, in step S1001 executed first, it is determined whether or not the state B flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1003, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1021.

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

In step S1005, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1003 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1007, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1031.

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

In step S1009, the value of the MY counter is initialized, and the process proceeds to step S1011.

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

In step S1013, the value of the CZ transition game number is set with reference to the table of FIG. For example, when the mode A is set as the CZ transition mode, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 201 to 300 is 10%. Further, for example, when the mode B is set, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 101 to 200 is 20%. It should be noted that the number of CZ transition games is selected by a further lottery in any one of these numerical ranges, but the lottery probability at this time may be equal within the numerical range, or within the numerical range. A bias may be provided so that a specific range or a specific value can be easily (or less easily) selected. In the present embodiment, after the state B is set in the normal state and the number of CZ transition games set here has elapsed without transitioning to CZ, transition to CZ is performed.

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

In step S1017, the value of the state B elapsed game count is set to 0, and the flow advances to step S1031.

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

In step S1031, preparation for transmitting the internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed, and this game start state processing is ended. The internal winning command includes the conditionally selected internal device number, the gaming state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of CZ remaining games, the number of remaining AT games and the number of additional games, the number of specialized zone remaining games), and the acquired pt. And cumulative acquisition pt, presence/absence of pt double mode, state B flag, state B elapsed game number, CZ transition game number, conditional addition flag state and conditional addition clear condition, various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right, Information such as presence/absence of (Blue 7 right) and instruction information is included.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, details of the game start state B related processing (step S1021) in the game start state processing of FIG. 12 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the game start state B related processing (step S1021) in FIG.

First, in step S1101, which is first executed, it is determined whether the game state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1103, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1105.

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

In step S1105, it is determined whether the gaming state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1107, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1109.

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

In step S1109, it is determined whether the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1111, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1113.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1203, it is determined whether the pt double mode is set. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1205, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1209.

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

In step S1207, a lottery is executed to determine whether to end the pt2x mode (pt2x mode falling lottery), and if the lottery is won, the pt2x mode is released. The current set value and the table of FIG. 16C are used in the pt double mode falling lottery. For example, when the set value is 1, the pt double mode is maintained with a 90% probability, and the pt double mode is terminated with a 10% probability. Note that the lottery may not be executed or the lottery may not be won for a few games after the pt2x mode is set, so that the period of the pt2x mode is guaranteed.

In step S1209, the pt acquired in step S1201 (pt doubled when step S1205 is executed) is added to the cumulative acquisition pt, and the process proceeds to step S1211.

In step S1211, 1 is added to the value of the state B elapsed game number, and the flow proceeds to step S1213.

In step S1213, it is determined whether the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is 1000 pt or more. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1215, and if not, the normal related process ends.

In step S1215, a lottery (CZ lottery, AT lottery) for setting the CZ and AT states is executed. The table of FIG. 17A is used for these lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 4, the CZ lottery is won with a probability of 20%, and the AT lottery is won with a probability of 5%.

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

Next, with reference to FIG. 18, details of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in the game start state B related processing of FIG. 14 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in FIG.

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

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

In step S1305, a lottery (AT lottery) as to whether or not to set the AT state is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) and the table in FIG. 17B are used. For example, the condition device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, condition device number 5) wins the AT lottery with a probability of 20%. When the lottery here is won, a lottery (sorting lottery) is subsequently executed to obtain either the BAR right or the peach 7 right. The table of FIG. 17C is used for this lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 5, the BAR right is acquired with a probability of 80% and the peach 7 right is acquired with a probability of 20%. When the AT lottery is won in the processing here, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired. Although the AT lottery has one stage in the present embodiment, the AT state may be changed when the lottery is won a plurality of times (for example, three times). Further, in this configuration, it is possible to confirm that the player will shift to the AT state even if he/she has not won a plurality of times when the peach 7 right is acquired. In addition, the BAR right acquisition lottery may be performed, and winning the re-gaming combination 10 with the BAR right acquired may be counted as one of a plurality of winnings.

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

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

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

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

In step S1407, it is determined whether or not the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the procedure proceeds to step S1411, and if not, the procedure proceeds to step S1409.

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

In step S1411, a lottery (specialized zone right lottery) as to whether or not to acquire the right to move to the specialized zone is executed. In addition, the right acquired when the player wins this lottery is referred to as Blue 7 right. The table of FIG. 20C is used for this lottery. For example, if the set value is set to 1 to 5, the right of blue 7 is acquired with a probability of 0.05%. It should be noted that these probabilities and values are merely examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the special zone right lottery is executed for all condition devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the condition device. After this lottery, the AT-related processing is ended.

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

First, in the first step S1421, the value of the special zone remaining game count is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1423.

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

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

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

First, in step S1501, which is executed first, it is determined whether the game state is one of the CZ, AT state, and specialized zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1503, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1503, it is determined whether or not the push order bell (conditional device number 8 to 10) is internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1505, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

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

Next, with reference to FIG. 22, details of the game state update processing (step S119) in the main control portion main processing of FIG. 11 will be described. This figure is a flowchart of the game state update processing (step S119) in FIG.

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

In step S1A05, it is determined whether the gaming state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A07, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1A09.

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

In step S1A09, it is determined whether the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A11, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1A13.

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

In step S1A13, the during-specialization updating process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1A21. Details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S1A21, it is determined whether or not the state B flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1A23, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1A27.

In step S1A23, the state B end determination process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1A25. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

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

In step S1A27, transmission condition update command preparation is performed. This command includes information such as an internally-winned condition device number, a winning combination determination result, a game state, a state B flag, and the number of additional games by conditional addition clear.

Next, the details of the during-normal update process (step S1A03) in the game state update process of FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the normal updating process (step S1A03) in FIG.

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

In step S1B03, the game state is set to the AT state, and the AT remaining game number is set to an initial value. The table of FIG. 17D is used to determine the initial value of the number of remaining AT games. Here, since it is an AT winning (AT direct hit) in the normal state, there is a 70% probability of 30 games, a 20% probability of 50 games, a 7% probability of 100 games, and a 3% probability of 200 games. It is set as an initial value. After that, this normal update processing is terminated.

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

In step S1B07, the game state is set to CZ, and the CZ remaining game number is set to 20 as an initial value. After that, this normal update processing is terminated.

In step S1B09, it is determined whether or not the value of the state B elapsed game number is greater than or equal to the CZ transition game number value. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1B07, and if not, the normal updating process ends.

Next, with reference to FIG. 24, the details of the CZ updating process (step S1A07) in the game state updating process of FIG. 22 will be described. 22 is a flowchart of the CZ updating process (step S1A07) in FIG.

First, in step S1C01 that is executed first, it is determined whether or not the BAR right has been acquired and the condition device number 2 has been internally elected. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1C05, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1C03.

In step S1C03, it is determined whether or not the condition device number 3 or the condition device number 4 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1C05, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1C07.

In step S1C05, the game state is set to the AT state, and the AT remaining game number is set to an initial value. The table of FIG. 17D is used to determine the initial value of the number of remaining AT games. Here, in the case of AT winning in CZ, for example, when the BAR right is acquired, the initial value is 50 games with 70% probability, 100 games with 25% probability, and 200 games with 5% probability. Is set. The acquired BAR right or peach 7 right is erased (used) in this process. Then, the updating process during CZ is completed.

In step S1C07, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining CZ games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1C09, and if not, the in-CZ updating process ends.

In step S1C09, it is determined whether the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1C05, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1C11.

In step S1C11, the state B end flag is set to ON, and the CZ updating process ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S215, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring processing, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read to monitor the presence or absence of errors relating to a medal insertion abnormality, a medal ejection abnormality, and the like, and when an error is detected, (Omitted) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current game state.

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

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

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

First, in step S301, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S301. In this initialization processing, the input/output ports are initialized and the storage area in the RAM 408 is initialized. In this process, the RAM 408 is provided with an area for storing internal winning information, which is information indicating the result of internal winning, and an area for storing RT update information, which is information indicating a gaming state.

In step S303, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S331, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub-control unit main processing shown in FIG. 29A and stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms×10).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S3A15, it is determined whether or not any one of the re-play combinations 6, 10, 15, 16 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A17, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A19.

In step S3A17, a success effect indicating that the symbol shown in the aiming effect has been successfully stopped is set, and further, an addition effect of the number of remaining AT games is set. Then, it progresses to step S3A21. Regarding the addition of the number of remaining AT games, a value smaller than the actual value may be displayed. In this case, the number of remaining AT games displayed is smaller than the actual value, but the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed when returning to the AT state (step S3401 in FIG. 34(a)). At that time, the actual number of additional games can be grasped.

In step S3A19, a failure effect indicating that the stop of the symbol shown in the aiming effect has failed is set. Then, it progresses to step S3A21. Since this failure effect is executed even if the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 19B), the number of remaining AT games displayed may be smaller than the actual value. .. In this case, since the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed when returning to the AT state (step S3401 of FIG. 34A), it is possible to grasp the actual number of additional games at that time.

In step S3A21, in addition to the above-described processing, processing at the time of receiving the game state update command (for example, including processing for setting effects according to each game state) is executed, and this game state update command processing is ended. ..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S419, an updating process of the random number value for effect is performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the example of FIG. 37, it is assumed that the first game ends with the conditional addition flag turned off in the AT state, the condition device number 10 is internally won in the second game, and the conditional addition lottery is won. (Step S1409 of FIG. 19A). FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 10 has been internally won in the second game, and that the conditionally added flag has been set to ON by winning the conditionally added lottery. .. Here, as a result of the conditional addition lottery, 10 games are set as the number of addition games, the internal winning of the condition device number 8 is set as the first clear condition, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 is set as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition is set. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as each.

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

In the game of the second game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been acquired (net increase of 5) by operating in accordance with the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circles TC changes to green as shown in FIG. Green is shown by cross hatching with diagonal lines).

In the third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won. FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 9 is internally won in the third game. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 9 that is the push order bell in the AT state is internally won, the correct answer of the condition device number 9 is obtained in the effect image display device 157 as shown in FIG. An operation navigation indicating the operation sequence (first stop in the middle) is displayed. In the game of the third game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been obtained (a net increase of 5) by operating in accordance with the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, the middle upper circle among the three circles TC changes as shown in FIG. Cross hatching).

In the fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 8 is internally won. FIG. 37 shows that the condition device number 8 is internally won in the fourth game. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the condition device number 8 which is the pushing order bell in the AT state is internally won, the correct answer of the condition device number 8 is displayed in the effect image display device 157 as shown in FIG. An operation navigation indicating the operation sequence (first stop on the left) is displayed. In the game of the fourth game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been obtained (a net increase of 5) by operating in accordance with the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the first clear condition is satisfied, the lower left circle of the three circles TC changes as shown in FIG. Cross hatching of lines is shown).

Further, when all the three circles TC become green (all the first clear condition to the third clear condition are cleared), the three circles TC blink as shown in FIG. ), an effect that prompts the user to press a predetermined button (for example, one of the stop buttons) is executed. Further, when this predetermined button is pressed, the three circles TC disappear as shown in FIG. 38(i), the additional amount won in the conditional additional winning is displayed, and the number of remaining AT games is added. When this addition is made, the conditional addition flag is set to OFF (step S1D05 in FIG. 25A).

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

At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally wins the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 38(j), the condition image device number 10 in the effect image display device 157 is selected. An operation navigation indicating the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the conditional addition flag is turned on, three circles TC are displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 as in the case of FIG. 38A. At the start of the fifth game, all the circles are white because it is not determined that each clear condition is satisfied.

In the game of the fifth game, it is assumed that 8 medals have been acquired (net increase of 5) by operating in accordance with the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circles TC changes to gold as shown in FIG. 38(k) (in this figure, The gold color is indicated by the downward-sloping hatching).

Note that FIG. 37 shows the sixth game to the ninth game, but it is shown that the first clear condition and the second clear condition are not satisfied during this period. In the ninth game, the condition device number 10, which is the third clear condition, is internally won again, but at this point, the third clear condition has already been cleared, and at least the sixth game to the ninth game. In the meantime, the colors of the three circles TC do not change.

[Other configurations for conditional addition]
In the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38 described above, when the first clear condition to the third clear condition (in the example of FIG. 37, internal winning for condition device numbers 8 to 10) is cleared, the number of remaining AT games is added. Is adopted. Furthermore, a privilege image (in the example of FIG. 38, three green or gold circles TC) corresponding to the additional amount to be given is prepared, and the first clear condition to the third condition are set for this privilege image. A part corresponding to the clear condition is set, and when any of the first clear condition to the third clear condition is cleared, the part corresponding to the cleared condition is displayed. With this configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by expecting an additional amount each time the first clear condition to the third clear condition are cleared. Further, as the privilege images are gradually displayed as the clearing of the first clear condition to the third clear condition progresses, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by estimating the additional amount to be obtained.

In the example of FIGS. 37 and 38, the configuration in which three clear conditions, that is, the first clear condition to the third clear condition, are provided and these are associated with the three parts of the privilege image has been described. Here, the configuration in which the privilege image is gradually displayed with different timings for establishing the clear condition is not limited to the above configuration, and the clear condition is associated with each of a plurality of portions of the privilege image. Just do it. Further, the association timing is not limited to the timing when the clear condition is set, and for example, the configuration may be such that which part is displayed at the timing when any of the clear conditions is satisfied. Also, the criterion for determining is not particularly limited, and for example, the corresponding portion may be randomly determined.

In the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, as the clear condition corresponding to one portion of the privilege image, a condition that is satisfied according to the internal winning combination to be won is adopted, but the content of the clear condition is the above example. However, various conditions can be adopted. For example, in FIG. 37 and FIG. 38, the configuration in which the internal winning of the push order bell is set as the clear condition has been described, but a configuration in which a condition device different from the push order bell is set as the clear condition may be used for some or all of them. Further, it is not an internal winning combination but a condition that is satisfied by a winning combination or a reel stop mode, a condition that is satisfied by the result of some sort of lottery executed by the main control unit 300, a game such as the number of games or a winning history of a combination. May be a condition satisfied by the history of, and a condition satisfied by the elapsed time in the game. Further, it may be a condition that is satisfied according to an operation condition (operation content) such as the operated operation means and its operation order and operation timing, and the lottery result for each game (for multiple games) regardless of such operation. It may be a condition satisfied by a lottery result over a period of time) or a condition satisfied by a combination of such a lottery result for each game and a player's operation. Note that the operating means is not limited to the various operating means provided in the present embodiment, and may be, for example, a production operating means. By associating the clear condition with the operation condition, it is possible to give the operator enjoyment. Further, for example, after winning the conditional addition, the first clear condition is satisfied by the first internal win of the condition device number 8, and the second clear condition is satisfied by the second internal win of the condition device number 8. Each of the configurations is such that the third clear condition is satisfied by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 for the second time, and the first clear condition and the second clear condition are satisfied by the internal winning of the same condition device number. There may be common requirements between the clearing conditions corresponding to the parts.

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

Further, in the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, the cleared condition is maintained as it is, but the cleared condition is reset later, for example, by providing an effective period in the cleared condition, Alternatively, another clear condition may be reset. Further, the clear condition may be changed on the way such as providing an effective period for the clear condition.

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

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

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

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

In this embodiment, when the AT state ends (shifts to the normal state) without satisfying all the clear conditions, it is possible to obtain the privilege obtained if all the clear conditions are satisfied. However, when the AT state ends, a privilege according to the clear condition that has been established halfway may be given. For example, when two of the three circles TC in FIG. 38 are gold, 10 games may be added (in this case, the number of remaining AT games is 10). And the three circle TCs disappear.) When adopting this configuration, the benefits that are obtained when the clear conditions are met halfway are less than those that are obtained when all the clear conditions are met (which is disadvantageous to the player). preferable.

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

Further, it may be configured to suggest a clear condition corresponding to each part of the three circles TC. In the example of FIG. 39(e), the part in which the katakana “H” is displayed indicates that the internal winning of cherry is a clear condition, and the part in which the katakana “S” is displayed is , It is suggested that the internal win of watermelon is a clear condition, and the part where "Ka" in katakana is displayed is the clear condition for the internal win of push-push bell (or common bell). It suggests. In this example, the part where the katakana "Be" is displayed is located at the lower left, which suggests that the internal winning of the left 1st bell is a clear condition. As described above, the suggestion of the clear condition may be made not only by the notation but also by the position. In addition, the part in which the katakana is not displayed may be used as a suggestion for some internal winning (for example, the pushing order bell). Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a clear condition different from the actual clear condition is added to suggest. Further, the present invention is not limited to suggesting all clear conditions, but may indicate some clear conditions. Note that in the example of FIG. 39(e), the relationship between the clear condition and the corresponding portion is clear, but a configuration may be used in which only the clear condition is suggested and the corresponding portion is not displayed. In such a configuration that suggests the clear condition, the player can be made aware of the clear condition, and it is possible to give the player the pleasure of challenging the clear condition, for example, if the clear condition can be satisfied. In addition, by clarifying the portion corresponding to the clear condition, it is possible to give enjoyment such as aiming at the portion to be displayed.

Further, the information about the content of the privilege may be suggested separately from the privilege image. FIG. 39(f) shows an example in which "reward 10G" is displayed under the three circles TC, which suggests that 10 additional games are set as a privilege. In addition, FIG. 39(g) shows an example in which "50%" is displayed under the three circles TC, which suggests that the probability of acquiring the privilege is 50%. Further, the timing at which such a suggestion is made may be delayed and the timing may be indicated. FIG. 39(h) shows an example in which "remaining 5G" is displayed under the three circles TC to suggest that a suggestion regarding the content of the privilege is displayed after five games. Further, the configuration may be such that the information regarding the content of the privilege is suggested at the timing when a predetermined number of clear conditions are met or when a specific condition among the clear conditions is met. FIG. 39(i) shows an example in which "reward 10G" similar to that of FIG. 39(f) is displayed at the timing when one of the clear conditions is satisfied (one of the three circles TC changes). ..

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

First, in the example of FIGS. 39(j) to (l), FIG. 39(j) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can win 10 additional games with a probability of 50%, and FIG. 39(k) is 100%. FIG. 39(l) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to acquire the additional 10 games with a probability, and FIG. 39(l) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to acquire the additional 30 games with a probability of 100%. These privilege images have the basic form of FIG. 39(j) (image in which only the main character is displayed). The hero character indicates the addition of 10 or more games. It should be noted that the star marks at the upper left of FIG. 39(k), or at the upper left and upper right of FIG. 39(l), the addition is confirmed when there is one star mark, and the addition of at least 30 games is confirmed when there are two star marks. It is composed. That is, the content of the privilege that differs depending on the number of star marks is displayed. It should be noted that it can be expected that a more advantageous privilege can be expected when the portion without the star mark is displayed first. Thus, in the case where the plurality of privilege images have a common part, when the common part is displayed, the player can be expected to have a sense of expectation while estimating the content of the privilege to some extent. Can be entertaining. In addition, this configuration is an example, the probability increases when there is a star mark in the left part, and the number of games increases when there is a star mark in the right part, and the higher the display position of the star mark, the more The contents of the privilege may be changed according to the location of the star mark, such as obtaining an advantageous privilege. Further, the privilege may be different depending on the color of the star mark.

In the example of FIGS. 39(m) and 39(n), FIG. 39(m) is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege of being able to acquire 100 games with a probability of 100%, and FIG. 39(n) is a privilege image with a probability of 100%. This is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that has won 100 games and is suggested that the set value is any one of 456. These privilege images are examples in which a princess character showing a privilege more advantageous than the basic form (image in which only the main character is displayed) of FIG. 39(j) is used. This princess character indicates that the addition of 100 games or more has been confirmed. Further, the character of Haniwa displayed in the lower left of the privilege image of FIG. 39(n) indicates that the setting value is 456, and even if it is used in combination with the hero character and others of FIG. 39(j). Good.

39(j) to (l) and FIGS. 39(m) to (n), the middle part has a common structure, but regarding the privilege image having a common part with other privilege images in this way May have a configuration in which the common part is visible from the beginning. Further, the configuration may be such that a case where the common part is shown from the beginning and a case where it is not shown are determined by lottery.

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

When a plurality of privilege images are used as shown in FIGS. 39(j) to 39(p), they are arranged in a preset area such as a frame shown by cross hatching in FIG. 39(q). You may Also, for such an area, it is possible to provide a plurality of positions that can be arranged and then select and use this position as appropriate, but the position and the privilege that can be obtained should not be predicted. It is preferable not to be related to. In addition, in the example of FIGS. 39(j) to 39(p), the background of the character exists, but the background may not be displayed.

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

FIG. 40A shows an example of the operation corresponding to the second to fourth games of FIG. 37. In this example, the first clear condition corresponds to the left part, the second clear condition corresponds to the middle part, and the third clear condition corresponds to the right part. In the example of FIG. 37, the third clear condition, the second clear condition, and the first clear condition are satisfied in this order. Therefore, the operation in this case is as shown in FIG. Displayed in order.

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

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

FIG. 40( d) is an example of a case where the configuration in which the privilege changes midway is adopted. In this example, after the middle 1st bell internal win set as a clear condition corresponding to the middle portion is established and the middle portion is displayed, the number of games to be added to the strong cherry is increased (the privilege is changed). , It is shown that the privilege image used by this is changed. Note that the change of the privilege image is not limited to the mode in which the character is replaced as in this example, but may be a mode in which an image such as the star mark described in FIGS. 39(k) and (l) is added.

FIG. 40E is an example of the case where the clear condition corresponding to the operation order is used. In this example, when the internal bell is internally won, the right portion of the privilege image is displayed, and when the common bell is internally won, the right portion is reversely pressed to display the left portion of the privilege image. With this configuration, the portion to be displayed can be determined by the operation. Therefore, by using a privilege image in which the information obtained differs depending on the displayed portion, the player can select and display the information desired to be acquired. In the privilege image of FIG. 40(e), "G plus" on the right side recognizes that the number of additional games can be acquired, and "50" on the left side recognizes the number related to the privilege. In this example, the information regarding the acquisition of the number of additional games is obtained first, but the number regarding the privilege may be displayed first. It should be noted that, in addition to "G addition" indicating the information that can be obtained as the number of additional games as such a privilege image, as a privilege when the number of AT sets is adopted, "addition of sets", the period of the AT state is represented by the number of games. Some points are used as a privilege when managing with the number of times of navigation without "Navi addition", as a privilege when managing the AT state period with the number of available games instead of the number of games In this case, it is possible to infer the content of the privilege that can be acquired by using a display such as “acquire pt” as the privilege. Note that, for example, only the numbers (only the left portion in FIG. 40E) may be displayed, and the right portion may be displayed so that the content of the privilege can be grasped. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the displayed portion of these privilege images cannot be selected according to the operation of the player. In the case where the AT state is managed using two parameters, for example, the number of times of navigation and the number of obtainable sheets, any of the above "addition of navigation" and "acquisition of sheets" can be used. That is, the management configuration of the AT state is not limited, and an appropriate display can be adopted according to the management configuration of the AT state.

The privilege images have been described above with examples. In addition, if a part of the different privilege images is common, it is not possible to determine which privilege image is displayed when only this part is displayed. You may be able to increase your expectations for. Further, in the example of FIG. 38, the three circles TC are grouped together, but the respective portions of the privilege image may be arranged separately in the display area of the effect image display device 157. In addition, a part of the privilege image may be displayed from the beginning. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 37 and 38, the state in which none of the clear conditions is satisfied can be grasped by the white circles of the three circles TC, but, for example, regarding the part that is not satisfied, May display nothing (the background image is displayed as it is).

[About aiming performance during CZ]
In this embodiment, when the AT lottery is won during the CZ, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired (step S1305 in FIG. 18). Regarding these rights, there is a condition device that shifts to the AT state regardless of the stop mode when an internal winning is achieved, but when these conditions are internally won, a stopping operation is urged to win a specific winning combination. The aiming effect is executed (step S3307 in FIG. 33). The details will be described below.

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

FIG. 41A shows that, in the effect image display device 157, the aiming effect is suggested in the order of right, middle, left and aiming at the BAR symbol to perform the stop operation. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation.

According to this aiming effect, first, the right reel 112 is aimed at the BAR symbol and the stop operation is performed. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 41(b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 41(c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

Then, even when performing a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110, within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. It is necessary to perform the stop operation at a certain timing. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Further, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing where the numbers 19 (blank 1 symbol) and the numbers 0 (bell symbol) to the number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 are on the pay line. In FIG. 41(d), the withdrawal range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations in the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 41(e), the BAR symbol is on the pay line due to the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown. Further, in FIG. 41(f), the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 41(g), the BAR symbol is a winning line by the third stop on the left. The stopped state is shown above.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-game combination 10 (BAR replay). At this time, as shown in FIG. 41(h), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

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

Even if the right first stop is made, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-play combination 10 is not won, and another winning combination is possible (here, re-play combination 1, 3 to 9). Will stop the symbols that make up. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to dare to stop by aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and make the replaying combination 6 win.

Next, a case in which the peach 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are condition devices for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C03 of FIG. 24). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 42, an operation when the condition device number 3 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 42A shows that, in the effect image display device 157, the aiming effect is suggested to be performed in the order of right, middle, left and aiming at the BAR symbol to perform the stop operation. Here, since the condition device number 3 is internally won, the BAR symbol cannot be stopped on the pay line regardless of the stopping operation. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, he or she intends to stop the BAR symbol on the right reel 112 as in the example of FIG. 41.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, the stop operation at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is to stop the seven 2 symbol on the winning line. It is also the timing (both designs are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 42(b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the pay line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timings for stopping the BAR symbol, the timing at which the BAR symbol is in the drawing range of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 is also the timing for stopping the Seven-2 symbol, so the BAR symbol is aimed at. As a result, the Seven 2 pattern may stop. FIG. 42C shows a state in which the Seven two symbols are stopped on the pay line by the first stop on the right.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 42(d), in the effect image display device 157, the contents of the aiming effect are changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though the player has aimed for the BAR symbol, but by this change, the player should know the symbol to be originally aimed. As a result, it is possible to convince that the Seven 2 pattern has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Subsequently, the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 are stopped with the aim of the Seven two symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the Seven two symbols are on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing in which the range from the number 0 (cherry symbol) to the number 4 (seven symbol 2) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Further, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing in which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 42(e), the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations in the middle reel 111 is shown by four 7-2 symbols, and in FIG. 42(f), the 7-2 symbol is won by the medium second stop. A stopped state is shown on the line. Further, in FIG. 42(g), the pulling-in range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. 42(h), the 7th 2 symbols by the third left stop. The stopped state is shown on the winning line.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-gaming combination 16 (peach 7 replay). In this case, the aiming effect is an effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the re-gaming combination 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 42(i), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

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

Even if the right first stop is made, if the operation operation at the above timing is unsuccessful, the replay combination 16 is not won, and other winning combinations (here, replay combinations 1, 3 to 6, The symbols constituting 11 to 13) will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to dare to stop by aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and make the replaying combination 6 win.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 43, an operation when the condition device number 4 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 43A shows that, in the effect image display device 157, the aiming effect is suggested in the order of right, middle, left and aiming at the BAR symbol to perform the stop operation. Since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line in the first right stop.

According to this aiming effect, it is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped with the aim of the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) on the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. In FIG. 43(b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. In addition, FIG. 43(c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

Regarding the second stop in the following, the stop operation will be performed aiming at the BAR symbol, but since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, the BAR symbol is not related to the stop operation in the middle reel 111. Cannot be stopped on the winning line. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, he/she intends to stop the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111 as in the example of FIG.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, the timing at which the range from the number 1 (watermelon design) to the number 4 (seven 2 design) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line is also the timing for stopping the seven 2 design on the pay line. (All designs are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 43(d), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 are shown by four BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the pay line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timing of stopping the BAR symbol, the timing at which the BAR symbol is in the drawing range of the symbol 1 to 4 symbols ahead in the middle reel 111 is also the timing of stopping the Seven 2 symbol, so aim at the BAR symbol. As a result, the Seven 2 pattern may stop. FIG. 43(e) shows a state in which the Seven two symbols are stopped on the pay line by the second middle stop.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 43(f), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the aiming effect is changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel a sense of incongruity that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though the player aimed at the BAR symbol. In particular, unlike the example of FIG. 42, the stop mode of the first right stop is the same as the example of FIG. 1, so there is a possibility that the sense of discomfort may become greater, but by changing this aiming effect, the design that should be aimed at is known. As a result, it is possible to convince that the Seven 2 pattern has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Then, the stop operation is performed on the left reel 110 aiming at the Seven 2 symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the Seven two symbols are on the pay line. More specifically, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing in which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the pay line. Of these, the timing at which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbol on the winning line (either. The design will also be within the pull-in range). In FIG. 43(g), the drawing range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven two symbols. However, here, the Seven 2 symbol does not stop on the winning line (Neither of the re-gaming actors 14 and 15 remaining as the winning symbol candidates does not stop the Seven 2 symbol on the left reel 110), and the Seven 1 symbol And BAR symbols will be stopped preferentially. As described above, among the timing of stopping the Seven 2 symbol, the timing of the Seven 2 symbol in the pulling range of the 1st to 4th symbol on the left reel 110 is also the timing of stopping the BAR symbol, so the Seven 2 symbol As a result, the BAR symbol may stop as a result. FIG. 43(h) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the third stop on the left. In this case, the two Seven symbols are in a state of being aligned downward to the right.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in the state of winning the re-game combination 15 (peach 7 replay). In this case, the aiming effect is an effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the replay combination 15. In addition, as shown in FIG. 43(i), the effect image display device 157 is informed of the shift to the AT state. With this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that allows the player to shift to the AT state by the stop operation.

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

Even if the right first stop is performed, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the replay combination 15 is not won, and another winning combination (here, the replay combination 1, 3... 7, 9, 14) will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to dare to stop by aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and make the replaying combination 6 win.

In the description of FIGS. 41 to 43, the aiming effect when the AT lottery is won (when the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired) has been described, but the aiming effect is also obtained when the AT lottery is not won. It may be executed (step S3317 in FIG. 33). An example of the operation when the condition device number 1 is internally won while the AT lottery is not won will be described below with reference to FIG.

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

According to this aiming effect, it is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped with the aim of the BAR symbol. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the pay line, it is necessary to perform a stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line. In FIG. 44(b), the drawing ranges of the first to fourth symbols on the right reel 112 are shown by four BAR symbols. In addition, FIG. 44C shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the pay line by the first right stop.

Then, even when performing a stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111, the BAR symbol is stopped at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. You need to do something. In FIG. 44(d), the drawing range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 44(e), the BAR symbol is on the winning line due to the second middle stop. The stopped state is shown.

Then, the stop operation is performed on the left reel 110 aiming at the BAR symbol. In this case, based on the position where the BAR symbol is on the pay line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range of four symbols (within the drawing range) from there. In FIG. 44(f), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbol destinations on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven two symbols. However, here, only the re-game combination 8 remains as a winning combination candidate, and only the replay symbol is stopped on the left reel 110. FIG. 44(g) shows a state in which the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line by the third stop on the left.

In addition, when the operation operation is performed at a timing other than the above timing, the symbols constituting other winning combinations are stopped. At this time, the seven symbols, the two symbols, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped, but the condition device number 1 does not win the re-gaming combinations 6, 10, 15, and 16. For this reason, even if aiming at the Seven 1 symbol, it is not possible to win the re-game combination 6.

In the case where the condition device number 1 is internally won, even if the stop operation is performed according to the aiming effect, none of the re-game players 10, 15, and 16 that wins the prize when the AT is won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 44(h), the effect image display device 157 displays a "sorry" message notifying that the AT state will not be entered.

[Other configurations for aiming performance during CZ]
As described in the example of FIG. 41 to FIG. 44, in the present embodiment, it is possible to lead to the winning of a specific winning combination, while changing the target symbol in the middle, and to improve the interest of the game. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous to win the re-gaming combination 10 in FIGS. 42 and 43 than to win the re-gaming combination 10 in FIG. 41 (AT state). 17(d)), which has a large number of initial AT remaining games. Although it is not necessary to adopt a configuration in which the degree of advantage is different, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by adopting a configuration in which it is more advantageous when the target symbol is changed. The configuration may be disadvantageous when the target symbol is changed.

In the example of FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, aiming at the BAR symbol, the production is changed at the timing when the Seven 2 symbol that really wants to be stopped is stopped, but in the case where the Seven 2 symbol is not stopped here. May continue without changing the target production. In particular, in the present embodiment, regardless of the stop mode, when the internal game is won for the condition device corresponding to the acquired right, the configuration shifts from the next game to the AT state, so that the Seven 2 symbol does not stop It is also possible to carry out the effect suggesting to shift to the AT state after continuing the effect as it is without changing. Further, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a failure effect indicating that the targeted symbol has not stopped may be performed. Although the target symbol is changed in the examples of FIGS. 42 and 43, there may be a case where an effect aiming at the Seven-2 symbol is executed from the beginning and the target symbol is not changed.

Further, regarding the timing of the change in the targeting effect, a symbol different from the symbol shown in the targeting factor (Seven 2 symbol in FIGS. 42 and 43) is moved to the position targeted by the stop operation (middle in FIGS. 42 and 43). It may be the moment when it is decided that it can be stopped, or after the corresponding reel has stopped. In particular, there may be a case where a configuration in which the stop symbol can be easily grasped is adopted depending on the symbol arrangement of the reels and the timing of pushing, and for such a configuration, it is preferable to change the target production after the reels are stopped. Also, depending on the player, it may be possible to perform the game operation by inertia and not notice that the target symbol has changed, so it is easy to notice that the target symbol has been changed, so it freezes with the change of the target symbol. May be configured to be executed.

Further, as described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 44, the condition device number 2 can win the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved, while the condition device number 1 wins the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved. Although it is not possible to do so, it is configured such that the winning combination of the re-playing combination 10 (a re-playing combination 8 in FIG. 44) is expected to win the re-playing combination 10. On the other hand, with the condition device numbers 3 and 4 described in FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, it is possible to win the re-play combinations 15 and 16, respectively, but for these combinations, condition devices that expect winning are provided. Has not been done. That is, it is possible to understand that the AT winning (acquisition of 7 peach rights) is confirmed when the target design is changed in the aiming effect. Note that the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the replay combinations 15 and 16 may have a configuration in which a condition device that expects winning of these combinations is provided.

Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol are adjacent to each other is adopted, but even if they are not adjacent, the timing at which the Seven-2 symbol can be stopped among the stop timings aiming at the BAR symbol Should be included. For example, in the configuration in which the two 7 symbols are arranged above the BAR symbol in FIG. 5, the more the distance is, the more difficult it is for the 7 2 symbol to stop when aiming at the BAR symbol, but when the 7 2 symbol stops. Can surprise the player because the reel draws in a lot. In the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other on the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, and there is a stop timing at which both of them can be stopped. However, regarding the operation of FIG. In, the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other. Note that the operation described with reference to FIG. 42 is also realized with this configuration. As described above, at least one reel (for example, the right reel 112 in FIG. 42) capable of stopping both the BAR symbol and the Seven-2 symbol may be provided, and the reel is stopped. It may be configured to change the aiming performance at the timing. Also, regarding the operation of FIG. 43, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other on the right reel 112.

In the examples of FIGS. 41 to 44, the configuration using the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol has been described, but the symbol used is not limited to this. The winning combination is not limited to the re-game combination, and various combinations can be used. Further, in this example, the target production operation is configured to be performed when the notification of the transition to the AT state is performed, but the application scene of this operation is not limited to this example. For example, in the present embodiment, the internal remaining number of games is added to the condition device numbers 2 to 4 in the specialized zone, but the target production is executed when the condition device is internally won. It may be configured.

Here, an example in which the configuration of the aimed effect is combined with the bonus will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, a configuration is adopted in which a big bonus is won by "7-7-7" and a regular bonus is won by "7-7-BAR". In this configuration, when the bonus is confirmed, a display that can be both a big bonus and a regular bonus is executed until all reels stop, as shown in FIG. Here, when 7 symbols are stopped on the upper stage of the left reel, the big bonus is confirmed (1st check). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45(b), the display of the BAR symbol displayed on the screen at the stage of the first confirmation is erased and the big bonus is confirmed. Further, for example, when the big bonus is realized, by performing the stop operation when the 7 symbols are located in the upper left stage, the 7 symbols are stopped in the upper left stage and the big bonus is fixed, while outside the display frame. If there are 7 symbols, the 7 symbols are drawn to the middle left, and the big bonus is not confirmed. By doing a specific operation (such as pressing the bit) on one of the reels, the internal winning combination is achieved. In the case of a specification in which the determination can be made, the instruction of the target symbol by performing the operation may be changed as in the case of Honji.

[About targeting when moving to the specialized zone]
In this embodiment, if the special zone right lottery (step S1411 of FIG. 19A) is won in the AT state, the right of blue 7 is acquired. If the player wins the blue 7 right and wins any of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4, it moves to the specialized zone (step S1D11 in FIG. 25A). On the other hand, if the player wins the blue 7 right and internally wins any of the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4, a targeting effect that prompts a stop operation for winning the replay combination 6 is executed (FIG. 34(a ) Step S3409). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG.

Here, the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won while the blue 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 46(a), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right-middle-left, and suggesting a stop operation aiming at the Seven 1 symbol. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the Seven 1 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 6 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. FIG. 46B shows that the replay combination 6 has been won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Further, at this time, it is shown that the special zone entry effect that suggests the shift to the special zone is being executed (step S3411 in FIG. 34A).

As described in the example of FIG. 41, in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the gaming roles 1, 3-10. Note that there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as symbol candidates that form the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols have priority and stop. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 46(b), not only the re-playing combination 6 is won according to the aiming effect, but also the BAR symbol is aimed not according to this, as shown in the route of FIG. 46(c). It is also possible to win the re-game part 10. The route of FIG. 46(d) shows that the replay combination 1 is won. In any case, after all the reels have stopped, the special zone entry effect that suggests the transition to the special zone is executed (step S3411 in FIG. 34A).

Note that, in FIG. 46, the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won has been described, but the same aiming effect is executed when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won. If the condition device number 3 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the re-game combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, the re-game combination 1, 3-6, 11-13. , 16 to win. In addition, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop or in the middle first stop, the replay combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, the replay combination 1, 3 to 7, 9 , 14 or 15. Therefore, when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won, the re-game combination 6 can be won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the aiming effect as in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won. Even if the aiming effect is not followed, the special zone entry effect is executed while shifting to the specialized zone regardless of the winning combination. Therefore, for example, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, it is possible to win the re-gaming combination 16 by aiming at the Seven 2 symbol without following the aiming effect.

[About aiming in the specialization zone]
In this embodiment, if the condition device numbers 2, 3, and 4 are internally won in the specialized zone, the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 of FIG. 19B, FIG. 20D). On the other hand, if any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 is internally won in the specialized zone, a targeting effect that prompts a stop operation for winning a specific winning combination is executed (step S3425 in FIG. 34B). The details will be described below.

First, the case of internally winning the condition device number 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 47(a), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, left and aiming at the BAR symbol to perform a stop operation. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 47(b), it is shown that the replay combination 10 has been won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. It should be noted that here, the number of remaining AT games is increased by 10 by internally winning the condition device number 2 (FIG. 20(d)), but with the route of FIG. It is shown that the success effect indicating the value of the addition is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35).

As described in the example of FIG. 41, in the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the gaming roles 1, 3-10. Note that there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as symbol candidates that form the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols have priority and stop. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 47(b), not only the replaying combination 10 is won according to the aiming effect, but also the seven symbol is not aimed at, and the route of FIG. 47(d) is shown. It is also possible to win the re-game part 6. The route of FIG. 47C shows that the replay combination 1 is won. In addition, in the present embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the replay combination 10 is won, but also when the replay combination 6 is won (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). In the route of FIG. 47(d), it is shown that the winning effect of the re-gaming combination 6 and the success effect indicating the additional value are executed (step S3A17 of FIG. 35). Further, in the route of FIG. 47(c), it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the replay combination 1 is won (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

Next, a case where the condition device number 3 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 48( a ), aiming effect is suggested in the effect image display device 157 in the order of right, middle, and left, and that a stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven two symbol. Here, the condition device number 3 is internally won, and if the stopping operation is appropriate, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-gaming combination 16 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that prompts this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 48(b), it is shown that the replay combination 16 is won as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Here, the number of remaining AT games is increased by 30 by internally winning the condition device number 3 (FIG. 20(d)), but in the route of FIG. It is shown that the success effect indicating the value of the addition is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35).

As described in the example of FIG. 42, in the case where the condition device number 3 is internally won, in the case of the left first stop, or in the middle first stop, the re-gaming combination 2 is won, and in the case of the right first stop, it is re-winned. Win one of the gaming roles 1, 3 to 6, 11 to 13, and 16. Note that there are Seven 1 symbols, Seven 2 symbols, and BAR symbols as symbol candidates that form the winning combination, and if these symbols can be stopped, these symbols have priority and stop. With this configuration, as shown in the route of FIG. 48(b), not only is the replay combination 16 won in accordance with the aiming effect, but also the Seven 1 symbol is aimed at without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 48(d). It is also possible to win the re-game part 6. The route of FIG. 48C shows that the replay combination 1 is won. In addition, in the present embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the replay combination 16 is won, but also when the replay combination 6 is won (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). However, in the case of winning the replay combination 6, a value smaller than 30 (here, 10), which is the number of additional games, is displayed. In the route of FIG. 48(d), it is shown that the winning effect of the re-game combination 6 and the success effect indicating the addition of 10 games are executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35). In the route of FIG. 48(c), it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the replay combination 1 is won (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

The target effect (similar to FIG. 47) is also executed when the condition device number 1 is internally won, but neither the re-playing combination 6 nor the re-playing combination 10 is won, and the number of remaining AT games is added. Since it is not performed, the failure effect is executed regardless of the stop mode (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

Further, although the aiming effect in the case of internally winning the condition device number 4 is not shown, the same effect as in FIG. 48 may be used, the effect in FIG. 43 may be diverted, and the re-game combination is performed. The effect suggesting the first stop on the right may be executed while displaying the 15 symbol combinations. In the case where the condition device number 4 is internally won, when the replay combination 15 is won, the success effect indicating the number of additional games is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35), and when the replay combination 6 is won, the number of additional games is 30. A success effect that displays a smaller value (here, 10) is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 35), and if a winning combination other than these is won, a failure effect is executed (step S3A19 in FIG. 35).

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

[Other configurations for aiming in specialization zone]
As described in the examples of FIG. 47 and FIG. 48, in the present embodiment, when a symbol (role) different from the symbol (role) aimed at is won, the symbol (role) originally aimed depending on the winning role. By providing a case where the effect of the privilege granting is executed as in the case where is stopped, it is possible to obtain a new game property such as intentionally stopping a design different from the targeted design. In this embodiment, the number of additional games is notified when the player wins the re-play combination 10 and when the player wins the re-play combination 6, but the targeted symbol (role) and a different symbol The effect when winning the (winning part) is not limited to the one for informing the number of additional games, and may be the effect for other benefits. Such a privilege is not limited to a privilege advantageous to the player (such as shifting to an advantageous condition or a period of the advantageous condition that has already been set becomes longer), but also a set value of the game table or an internal game state. The information may be information about the game table, and further, for example, when the environment of each user is provided on the game table, image data or music data for customization of the environment, or information owned by the player. Information that is not related to the game, such as information such as images and songs that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal that is currently used, may be a privilege. Further, a combination of these may be used.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the interval between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is arranged beyond the maximum pull-in range, but not limited to this configuration, for example, these symbols may be arranged adjacent to each other. However, if the distance between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is within the maximum pull-in range, it may be difficult to clearly aim because one side may stop even though the other side is stopped. Therefore, when adopting a configuration in which a symbol (role) different from the symbol (role) targeted by the stop timing is adopted, it is preferable to configure as in the present embodiment.

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

In the example of FIG. 47, the same number of additional games is informed both in the case of winning the re-playing combination 10 and in the case of winning the re-playing combination 6, but in the example of FIG. The number of additional games to be added, which is different when the prize is won and when the replay combination 6 is won, is notified. In this way, the effect of winning a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) may be the same as when winning the symbol (role) targeted, or different. Good. For example, when a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) is stopped, the set value or the internal value is changed by displaying (or adding) differently from the case where the targeted symbol (role) is stopped. Information about the game such as the state may be suggested. As a modified example of the route of FIG. 47D, FIG. 49 shows an example in which an image indicating the set value is displayed in addition to the notification of the number of additional games. Furthermore, a specific image may be displayed only when a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) is stopped. With these configurations, it is possible to give the player enjoyment when a symbol is not aimed.

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

≪Other≫
In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the internal winning probability of the re-game combination does not change is used, but the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 49 and the modified examples thereof can also be applied to a configuration provided with a so-called RT. is there. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the bonus combination is not provided is used, but the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 37 to 49 and the modified examples thereof can be applied to the configuration in which the bonus combination is provided. is there. Further, in the example of FIGS. 41 to 49, the configuration using the condition device for winning the re-game combination of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 has been described, but the combination and condition device to be used, the symbol combination, etc. are limited to this configuration. is not.

In the present embodiment, as the limit of the state B, the state B continues for 1,500 games, and the number of net increase from the minimum value exceeds 2400 is adopted, but this number is predetermined. Any material can be used, and it can be arbitrarily adopted.

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

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

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

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

Further, when the automatic settlement is executed, a signal may be output through the information output circuit 334. This signal may be configured to be output only when the automatic settlement function or the stop function is enabled. In this configuration, the player may be able to recognize that the automatic settlement function and the stop function are enabled. In addition, regardless of whether it is valid or invalid, a signal may be output when the execution condition (=limiter arrival) of the automatic settlement function or the stopping function is satisfied. With this configuration, it may be possible to grasp the number of times the player has reached the limiter.

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

The state of the switch when the power is turned on is used to enable/disable the automatic settlement and stopping functions. For this reason, for example, when the power is turned off immediately before reaching the limiter and reset to either valid or invalid, and then the power is turned on again to reach the limiter, automatic settlement and termination are executed according to the reset state.

In the present embodiment, the slot machine 100 in which medals (coins) are used as the game medium is shown as an example of the game table, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a game ball (for example, a pachinko ball) is played. The present invention can be applied to a slot machine used as a medium, a pachinko machine, an arrangement ball game machine, a ball game machine, a smart ball, or the like.

Note that the slot machine is a slot machine that operates on mobile terminals (smartphones, game consoles) and PCs by a program that simulates the operation based on the above configuration and that only exchanges electronic data without using medals. There may be, in this case, the game medium includes computerized data corresponding to medals, and the game medium is input by inputting computerized data from a predetermined external device (electronic storage device). The payout of the game medium includes outputting the digitized data to a predetermined external device (electronic storage device).

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiment of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. Those involving such modifications and changes are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Further, the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the invention only list the most suitable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are described in the embodiments of the present invention. It is not limited to what has been done.
