Description

The present invention includes a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after variably displaying the variable display unit, the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped to display a display result. The present invention relates to a slot machine that can be derived and generate a prize according to the display result.

A slot machine generally has a variable display section having a plurality of reels (usually three) with a plurality of types of symbols as identification information drawn on the outer periphery, and first, the bet number is determined by a BET operation by the player. The rotation of the reel is started by the start operation with the set bet number set, and the rotation is stopped by operating the stop switch provided corresponding to each reel. Then, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped, a combination of predetermined winning symbols on the winning line (for example, 7-7-7, a combination of symbols is also referred to as a winning combination) is derived to win the prize. appear.

The types of winning combinations include small winning combinations, special winning combinations, and replaying combinations. Here, in winning the small winning combination, the player can obtain a profit that a predetermined number of medals are paid out for each type of small winning combination. In the special prize winning, the player can obtain a benefit that the next game is shifted to a bonus state advantageous to the player such as a challenge bonus or a big bonus. In the winning of the re-gaming combination, it is possible to gain the advantage that the next game can be played without consuming a new medal for setting the bet number.

Some of such slot machines terminate the bonus state when a specific winning combination is won during the bonus state (Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5501608

However, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, when a specific winning combination is won in an advantageous state, for example, a bonus state, the advantageous state is only ended, and there is a possibility that the interest of the game may be reduced.

The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a slot machine that improves the interest of the game when the advantageous state ends.

(1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine in which a prize can be generated according to the display result,
Predetermination means (for example, internal lottery) for determining a display result that allows derivation from a plurality of display results including a specific display result (for example, 11 bells) and a predetermined display result (for example, 2 bells) (for example, The main control unit 41),
Means capable of controlling to an advantageous state (eg, CB) advantageous to the player, and controlling to the advantageous state by the determination result of the pre-determining means becoming a specific determination result (eg, SB winning). An advantageous state control means for ending (puncturing) (for example, the main control section 41),
In the advantageous state, when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the specific determination result (for example, SB winning in CB shown in FIG. 11), the specific display result is obtained without deriving the predetermined display result. It is derivable (11 bells are won regardless of the pressing order), and the determination result of the pre-determination means is different from the specific determination result during the advantageous state (for example, CB shown in FIG. 11). And a derivation control unit (for example, a main control unit 41) capable of deriving the predetermined display result or the specific display result,
The advantageous state privilege control about granting benefits during (e.g., AT lottery) Privilege control means that perform (e.g., the main control unit 41),
Viable demonstration execution means Starring out (e.g., the sub-controller 91), and further comprising a
It
In the privilege control means, when the determination result of the pre-determination means becomes the specific determination result and the specific display result is derived, the determination result of the pre-determination means becomes the non-specific determination result. When the specific display result is derived and when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the non-specific determination result and the predetermined display result is derived, it is determined whether or not the privilege is given. Including decision means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the specific determination result and the specific display result is derived, and the determination result of the pre-determination means is the non-specific determination result, At any time when the specific display result is derived, the privilege is given at a higher rate than when the predetermined display result is derived from the determination result of the pre-determination means becoming the non-specific determination result. (For example, as shown in FIG. 14(D), an advantageous AT lottery is executed when the 11-bell is won than when the 2-bell is won).
The effect execution means,
Image display means for displaying an image based on the determination result of the pre-determination means,
Based on the derived display result, a possibility suggestion effect execution means for executing a possibility suggestion effect suggesting the possibility that it has been decided to grant the privilege, and
The image display means can display a common image when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the specific determination result and when the determination result is the non-specific determination result (see, for example, FIG. ), (F), the effect of displaying the chance character 519 is executed even when the push order bell is won or SB is won).
The possibility suggestion effect executing means can execute the possibility suggestion effect in a common manner when the specific display result is derived and when the predetermined display result is derived.

With such a configuration, the advantageous state ends when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the specific determination result, but the specific display result derived when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the specific determination result. Thereby, privilege control advantageous for the player is executed. That is, advantageous privilege control can be executed when the advantageous state ends. Also, since the common effect is executed when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result and when it is the non-specific determination result, is the determination result of the pre-determining means the specific determination result? It is possible to prevent the player from grasping whether or not. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

(2) In the slot machine of (1),
Derivation operation means (for example, a stop switch) operated by the player to derive the display result is further provided,
The derivation control unit derives the predetermined display result or the specific display result according to an operation procedure for the derivation operation unit when the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the non-specific determination result ( For example, when the push order bell is won, 11 bells are won when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, and 2 bells are won when operated by an operation procedure different from the operation procedure).

According to such a configuration, the degree of advantage in privilege control can be made different depending on the operation procedure of the player, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(3) In the slot machine of (1),
The non-specific determination result includes a first determination result (for example, a first role as shown in the modified example) and a second determination result (for example, a second role as shown in the modified example),
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the first determination result, the specific display result (for example, 11 bells) is derived,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the second determination result, the predetermined display result (for example, two bells) is derived.

With such a configuration, it is possible to change the advantage degree in the privilege control according to the determination result of the pre-determination means, so that it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

(4) In any of the slot machines (1) to (3),
The privilege control means executes the privilege control according to the determination result of the pre-determination means (for example, as shown in FIG. 14E, when the left bell is won and when the middle bell or the right bell is won. And the advantage of AT lottery is different when you do).

With such a configuration, the player's attention can be focused on the determination result of the pre-determination means.

(5) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (4),
The privilege control means executes the privilege control according to the display result derived by the derivation control means (for example, as shown in FIG. 14D, when two bells are won and when 11 bells are won). The advantage of AT lottery is different when the prize is won).

With such a configuration, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the display result derived by the derivation control means.

(6) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (5),
The specific determination result is a state in which the ratio of the determination result of the pre-determination means being a predetermined determination result (for example, a common bell as shown in FIG. 9) is higher than the predetermined state, and one unit game is performed. Includes a decision result that allows the derivation of a display result (e.g., SB) with control to a particular state that ends when is executed.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the determination result only for ending the advantageous state from being included in the determination result of the pre-determining means. Therefore, the degree of freedom of control for determining the display result that allows derivation Can be increased.

(7) In any of the slot machines (1) to (5),
The specific determination result is a state in which the ratio of the determination result of the pre-determination means being a predetermined determination result is higher than a predetermined state, and when a predetermined number of unit games are executed or a prize is generated a predetermined number of times. It includes a determination result that allows the derivation of a display result (for example, RB1 that ends in a game of 12 games or five times of winning) accompanied by control to a special state that ends in some cases.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the determination result only for ending the advantageous state from being included in the determination result of the pre-determining means. Therefore, the degree of freedom of control for determining the display result that allows derivation Can be increased.

(8) In any of the slot machines (1) to (5),
The specific determination result includes a determination result that allows the derivation of a re-game display result (for example, replay) that allows the player to play the next unit game without using the game value.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the determination result only for ending the advantageous state from being included in the determination result of the pre-determining means. Therefore, the degree of freedom of control for determining the display result that allows derivation Can be increased.

(9) In any of the slot machines (1) to (8),
The privilege control means gives the privilege at a higher rate when the specific display result is derived than when the predetermined display result is derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 14D, The probability of winning an AT is higher when you win 11 bells than when you win 2 bells.)

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the specific display result is derived.

(10) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (9),
The privilege control unit grants the privilege such that the amount when the specific display result is derived is larger than when the specific display result is derived (for example, shown in FIG. 14D). As described above, the expected number of AT games to be awarded is higher when the 11-bell prize is won than when the 2-bell prize is won).

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the specific display result is derived.

(11) In any of the slot machines (1) to (10),
The effect execution means,
In the advantageous state, it is possible to execute a suggestion effect (for example, an effect that displays the character image 518 shown in FIG. 17B) that suggests that the advantageous state is controlled.
Even after the advantageous state ends, a suggestive effect similar to the suggestive effect is executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 17E and 17F, the character image 518 is displayed even at RT1 after CB). To).

With such a configuration, even if the advantageous state ends, it is possible to maintain the expectation that the advantageous state is controlled.

(12) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (11),
The effect execution means is capable of executing a notification effect for informing the result of the privilege control in the advantageous state (for example, as shown in [Regarding AT winning notification] of the modified example, the AT is won in the CB). Sometimes, the AT winning notification effect can be executed).

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when it is controlled in the advantageous state.

(13) In the slot machine of (12),
After the execution of the notification effect, the effect execution means suggests that a further benefit is given in addition to the benefit that can be given by the privilege control of which the result is notified by the notification effect (for example, modified example As shown in [Regarding AT winning notification] of (1), after performing the AT winning notification effect, it is possible to execute an effect of displaying a character such as "AT additional winning probability during AT preparation".

According to such a configuration, the sense of expectation for the privilege can be maintained even after the notification effect is executed.

(14) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (13),
The effect execution means can execute a notification effect that notifies the result of the privilege control after the advantageous state ends (for example, as shown in a modified example [about AT winning notification], CB ends). The AT winning notification effect is executed in any one of a plurality of games (specific period) after the game).

With such a configuration, the sense of expectation for the privilege can be maintained until the advantageous state ends.

(15) In any of the slot machines (1) to (14),
The effect executing means can execute an effect that suggests the possibility of granting the privilege when the specific display result is derived (when 11 bells are won, it is determined whether or not an AT is won. It is possible to carry out a stirrup production).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to maintain the expectation for granting the privilege when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result and the specific display result is at least one of the derived results.

(16) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (15),
The determination result of the pre-determination means is a determination result permitting the derivation of a re-play display result (for example, replay) that allows the player to play the next unit game without using the game value, and a game And a decision result that allows the derivation of a grant display result (for example, a push order bell) accompanied by a grant of value,
The advantageous state is a state in which a ratio of allowing the derivation of the addition display result is higher than a predetermined state (for example, CB),
The slot machine is
After the advantageous state ends, a specific state control unit (for example, main control) capable of controlling to a specific state (for example, RT1 which is an advantageous RT) in which the ratio of derivation of the re-game display result is higher than a predetermined state is allowed. Part 41),
And a notification state control unit (for example, a main control unit 41) capable of controlling the notification state (for example, AT) for notifying information according to the determination result of the pre-determination unit,
The privilege includes the right to control the notification state (for example, the number of AT games),
The privilege control means can execute the privilege control during a period during which the advantageous state is controlled, and can also execute the privilege control during a predetermined period after the advantageous state ends (for example, FIG. 17). As shown in, the AT lottery can be executed in the CB in the period from T0 to T4, and the AT lottery can also be executed in the RT1 in the period from T4 to T6).

According to such a configuration, the privilege control can be executed even during the predetermined period after the advantageous state ends due to the determination result of the pre-determining means becoming the specific determination result, which improves the interest of the game. be able to.

(17) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (16),
The advantageous state control means can control to any one of a plurality of advantageous states in which the degree of advantage of the privilege control is different (for example, as described in [About AT winning probability in CB]). The state may include a “first state in CB” and a “second state in CB in which the degree of advantage of AT lottery is higher than the first state in CB”.

With such a configuration, the degree of advantage of privilege control can be made different, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

(18) In the slot machine of (17),
When the advantageous state is started, the effect execution means can execute an effect that suggests the degree of advantage of the privilege control in the advantageous state (for example, described in [AT winning probability in CB]). As described above, it is possible to execute the CB mid-state suggestion effect at the start of the CB control).

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the advantageous state is started.

(19) In the slot machine of (17) or (18),
The effect execution means can execute an effect that suggests the degree of advantage of the privilege control in the advantageous state during the advantageous state (for example, as described in [About AT winning probability in CB], While the control to the CB is in progress, it is possible to execute the CB in-state suggestion effect.

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the advantageous state is controlled.

(20) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (19),
The advantageous state is a state in which a control capable of deriving the specific display result a plurality of times is executed (when the navigation guarantee period in CB is reached, 11 bells are given in the game in which the push order bell is won. Notify the operation procedure to win the prize).

According to such a configuration, since the specific control for deriving the specific display result a plurality of times is executed during the advantageous state, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

(21) In any of the slot machines of (1) to (20),
The predetermined period after the advantageous state ends without the award being given is a period in which the specific display result can be derived a plurality of times or a control that can be performed is executed (a navigation guarantee period at RT1 after CB). In some cases, in the game in which the push order bell is won, an operation procedure for winning 11 bells is notified).

According to such a configuration, even if the privilege is not given and the advantageous state ends while being controlled to the advantageous state, the specific control for deriving the specific display result a plurality of times is executed in the predetermined period. Therefore, the player can be rescued.

[Structure of slot machine, etc.]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a gaming system in the present embodiment to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the main control unit 41 of the slot machine includes a lamp device 200 for calling a clerk installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the slot machine 1 via an external output board 1000, and a hall computer. A signal can be output to 140 or the like. The display device of the lamp device 200 can display various information based on the output signal. The lamp device 200 is attached to the vicinity of the slot machine 1 (in the present embodiment, the upper part of the slot machine 1).

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the overall structure of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. The slot machine 1 includes a housing whose front surface is open, and a front door 1b pivotally supported by a side end of the housing. A liquid crystal display 51 is provided at the upper center of the front door 1b. The liquid crystal display 51 has a display area in which a predetermined effect can be executed. Further, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (hereinafter, also referred to as left reel, middle reel, and right reel) juxtaposed inside the casing 1a can be visually recognized through the see-through window 3. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a symbol array of each reel. On the reels 2L to 2R, a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order. The number of reels is not limited to three and may be one or two or more. Further, although the variable display section is shown as an example of being configured by a physical reel, it may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

On the front door 1b, as an example of an operating means, when setting a bet number of a predetermined number determined according to a gaming state within a credit range stored as a gaming value (number of medals) owned by a player The MAXBET switch 6 operated on, the settlement switch 10 operated to settle and return the credits and the set number of bets, the start switch 7 operated to start the game, and the rotation of the reels 2L to 2R. There are provided stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are operated when stopping each, and a production switch 56 used for production.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a specified number of bets (for example, 3) is set by inserting a medal into the medal inserting section 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the pay line is activated, the operation of the start switch 7 is activated, and the game can be started. When a medal is inserted in a state where the bet number has been set, that amount is added to the credit.

The winning line is a line for determining whether the combination of symbols displayed on the transparent window 3 of the reels 2L to 2R is a combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, an example having the pay lines L1 and L2 will be described, but one pay line or three or more pay lines may be provided.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L to 2R are rotated to display the symbols in a variable manner, and when the stop switches 8L to 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. , Three symbols are derived and displayed as display results in the upper, middle and lower stages of the transparent window 3. When a combination of winning symbols is stopped on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winning, and credits are added or the credit reaches the upper limit number (50). In this case, medals are paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an internal structure of the slot machine 1. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a functional configuration example of the slot machine 1. In the example of FIG. 5, while controlling the progress of the game, a game control board 40 that outputs various commands in accordance with the progress of the game, and a configuration mounted or connected to the effect control board 90 according to the command are directly or Indirectly controlling (for example, executing a predetermined effect).

Further, in the present embodiment, the procedure for the player to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (also referred to as the pressing order) is forward pressing, forward sandwiching, middle left pushing, middle right pushing, reverse sandwiching pushing, And reverse press. The forward pressing refers to a pressing order in which the left reel 2L is first stopped and then the middle reel 2C is second stopped. Further, the forward sandwiching pressing refers to a pressing order in which the right reel 2R is second stopped after the left reel 2L is first stopped. "Middle left push" refers to a pushing order in which the left reel 2L is second stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The middle right pushing means a pushing order in which the right reel 2R is second stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The reverse pinch pressing refers to a pressing order in which the right reel 2R is first stopped and then the left reel 2L is second stopped. The reverse pressing means a pressing order in which the right reel 2R is first stopped and then the middle reel 2C is second stopped.

Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, what can be selected as a stop symbol is a symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, and symbols from there to four frames ahead, It is a pattern for a total of 5 frames. Therefore, for example, when the symbols displayed in the lower row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is used as a reference, the symbols up to four frames ahead Since the symbol can be displayed in the lower row, in each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch It is possible to display symbols arranged within 5 frames including the symbol on the pay line.

[Winner]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, payout numbers, and operations. In the following description, "/" means "or", "-" means "division of adjacent reels", left means "symbol of left reel 2L", and middle means "center". The "design of reel 2C" is shown, and the right is the "design of right reel 2R". Further, "-" shown in the two-bell and eleven-bell means "any", which means that any pattern may be used.

For example, SB1 is won when a combination of "blue 7-blank 1-blue 7" is completed on the pay line L1 or L2. For example, among the symbols constituting each of SB1 to SB6, the symbol "blue 7" which is the symbol of the left reel 2L is not arranged within 5 frames in the left reel 2L. Therefore, the SBs 1 to 6 cannot be won in the single winning unless the stop switch is operated at an appropriate timing. In the following, SBs 1 to 6 may be collectively referred to simply as “SB”.

When one of SB1 to 6 is won in the non-bonus, SB (single bonus) is activated. The SB ends on the condition that one game is played while maintaining the game state, and in one game in the SB, the winning probability of a predetermined small win (common bell in the present embodiment) is higher than usual. It is improved by a predetermined number (the number of judgment values is 1 in the present embodiment). In addition, as a modification, the number of the predetermined small wins may be two or more. The SB is a winning combination that can be won only during a CB (challenge bonus) described below. When one of SB1 to 6 is won in the CB, the game state shifts from RT5 (during CB) to RT1 (during normal game) as shown in FIG. 7 described later.

Further, the CB is won when the combination of "bell-replay-watermelon" is completed on the pay line L1 or L2. Here, for example, among the symbols constituting the CB, the symbol "bell" of the left reel 2L, the symbol "Replay" of the middle reel 2C, and the symbol "watermelon" of the right reel 2R are respectively It is arranged within 5 frames on the reel.

When a CB is won during the non-bonus, the CB (challenge bonus) is activated. CB is a state in which all small wins are won. The small winning combination is a winning combination that can be won during a non-bonus (for example, during non-CB), and is a winning combination that accompanies a medal. Below, all the small roles are also called "all roles". The CB is not won in combination with other bonuses (BB, RB1, RB2) in one game or won during the bonus. Further, the bet number of medals required to start one game is the same (three in the present embodiment) regardless of whether CB or not.

In the present embodiment, the “game” in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, from the time the start switch 7 is operated until the reels 2L to 2R are stopped, but before the start switch 7 is operated when a game is played. Since the bet number setting, the payout of medals, and the transition of the game state are performed after the reels 2L to 2R are stopped, these incidental processes are also broadly included in the "game".

[Transition of game state]
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the transition of the game state controlled by the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the game state. In the present embodiment, RT0 being in the normal game, RT1 being in the normal game and having a higher probability of winning the re-play combination (eg, rip 1, rip 2) than RT0, inside bonus other than CB (special The game progresses while being controlled by any one of RT2 which is a winning of the combination), RT3 which is inside the CB (which is winning a CB), RT4 which is a bonus other than CB, and RT5 which is a CB. Of these plural kinds of game states, the game state is controlled to any corresponding game state from the satisfaction of the start condition to the satisfaction of the end condition (the number of payouts, the winning combination, and the winning combination indicated by the arrow in FIG. 7). See the results). In the following, RT0 may be referred to as “adverse RT” and RT1 may be referred to as “advantageous RT”.

For example, in CB (RT5), when 254 or more medals are paid out, or when any of SB1 to SB6 is won, CB is ended and the next game is controlled to RT1 which is an advantageous RT. To be done. Further, when one of the two bells and SB1 to SB6 is won at RT1, the game state shifts from the next game to RT0, which is a disadvantageous RT.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the two-bell and SB1 to SB6 are won while being controlled to RT1 which is an advantageous RT, the player falls to RT0 which is an unfavorable RT. If the RT1 is to be controlled again, it is necessary to win one of the BB, RB1, RB2, and CB. As shown in FIG. 8, the probability that any one of BB, RB1, RB2, and CB will win is 772/65536, and one of BB, RB1, RB2, and CB must be played if about 85 games are not consumed. Won't win. As described above, in the present embodiment, once the player falls from RT1 to RT0, returning to RT1 is a difficult game.

The condition for ending CB (condition for controlling from CB to RT1) includes a first ending condition and a second ending condition that can be satisfied before the first ending condition. In FIG. 7, as indicated by the arrows connecting RT5 (in CB) to RT1, the first ending condition is a condition that is satisfied when 254 or more medals are paid out in CB. The second ending condition is a condition established when a predetermined winning combination (one of SB1 to SB6 in the example of FIG. 7, which is also referred to as a punk winning combination) is won in the CB. Hereinafter, the satisfaction of the first termination condition may be referred to as “the CB completes,” and the satisfaction of the second termination condition may be referred to as “the CB punctures”. The CB is in a controllable state when not controlled by the AT and also in a controllable state when controlled by the AT.

[Lottery target]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a combination of winning combinations that will be read as a lottery target combination will be described. In the present embodiment, a plurality of winning combinations can be simultaneously read out as winning combinations, and the winning combinations can be won in duplicate. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show the contents of combinations of winning combinations for each lottery target combination and the number of determination values at a predetermined setting value (for example, setting value 1). In the combination of winning combinations, "+" is written between the winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read in the internal lottery executed when the start switch is operated. In the number of determination values, the denominator is set to “65536” in association with the random number for the internal lottery (integer of 0 to 65535). Therefore, for example, the winning probability of the lottery target combination for which “1315” is set as the determination value is 1315/65536. In the present embodiment, in the non-CB game, reel control is performed so as to win the re-play combination>small combination>special combination among the winning combinations. In addition, for example, when a game that wins a special combination (any one of BB, RB1, RB2, and CB) cannot be won, the winning of the winning special combination is carried over to the next game or later. In addition, when a winning combination during CB (a winning combination marked with a circle in RT5 column in FIGS. 8 and 9 such as RB1+Replay1) is selected during CB, the winning combination and all winning combinations are You will be elected.

[Reel control in non-CB]
Next, the reel control during non-CB will be described with reference to FIG. For example, in a game in which 123 bells are won, reel control for winning 11 bells is performed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by pressing the buttons normally. On the other hand, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the other pressing order, reel control is performed to simultaneously win one-bell and two-bell that falls from RT1 to RT0. Other roles are as shown in FIG. Although not shown in FIG. 10, when the SB is independently won in the non-CB, when the SB is operated at the timing of winning the SB, the SB wins and is operated at a timing different from the timing. Sometimes SB does not win.

[Reel control during CB]
Next, reel control during CB will be described with reference to FIG. CB is in a state where all the winning roles have been won. For example, when any of "SB1" to "RB2" is won, 11 bells are won regardless of the pressing order. Also, for example, when Replay 1 is won during CB (when Replay 1 + all hands are won), when 11 left bells are won when operated at the first stop on the left and other operations are performed. Two bells win. In the following, the left bell, the center bell, and the right bell are collectively referred to as a “push order bell in CB”. Further, six bells of 123 bells to 321 bells are collectively referred to as “pushing order bell in non-CB”. During the navigation guarantee period and AT described later, the push order bell in the CB and the push order bell in the non-CB are the roles in which the navigation is executed.

[About processing regarding AT]
The main control unit 41 can control AT (assist time) in addition to advantageous states such as bonus and RT2. When the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied when the AT game is not given, the main control unit 41 executes the AT initial win lottery regarding the granting of the AT game which is the right to be controlled by the AT. Specifically, in the AT initial win lottery, the number of grants (including 0) when granting an AT game is determined in the AT lottery. In addition, when the AT is controlled (when the AT game is given), the addition lottery for determining whether or not to add to the given AT game is executed. Specifically, in the additional lottery, the main control unit 41 determines an AT game (including 0) to be added. The AT lottery is executed when the winning combination is decided in the internal lottery (for example, at the decided timing).

The AT initial lottery and additional lottery are collectively referred to as AT lottery. Further, it is also referred to as AT winning when it is determined that one or more AT games are given in the AT lottery, and is also referred to as AT non-winning when it is decided that no AT game is given in the AT lottery.

In addition, the main control unit 41 controls to AT when it is decided to give the AT game in the AT initial winning lottery, and the operation procedure (stop order) for stopping the symbol combination advantageous to the player on the pay line LN. Is executed (navigation by the main control unit and navi effect by the sub-control unit) that can specify the. Note that this navigation ends at the end timing (for example, the third stopped timing).

The main control unit 41 sets the AT flag in the RAM 41c and controls the AT when the AT start timing comes when the AT wins first. Further, the main control unit 41 transmits an AT start command to the sub control unit 91 at the AT start timing. When receiving the AT start command, the sub control unit 91 sets the AT flag in the RAM 41c and controls the AT. The main control unit 41 identifies whether or not the vehicle is in AT based on the AT flag.

During AT, the main control unit 41 uses the game auxiliary display 12 to display information (for example, the pressing order) according to the winning navigation target combination when the predetermined navigation target combination is won by the internal lottery process. Can be notified. The game auxiliary display 12 also displays the number of medals paid out and an error code when an error occurs. FIG. 12 shows the correspondence between the pressing order and the game auxiliary display 12. In the example of FIG. 12, for example, notifying that the operation is performed in the middle and left and right is associated with displaying “21” on the game auxiliary display 12. In addition, the main control unit 41 notifying the operation procedure on the game auxiliary display 12 is also referred to as "navigating".

In addition, during AT, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the information corresponding to the winning navigation target combination when receiving the command transmitted when the predetermined navigation target combination is won by the internal lottery process. Specifically, a navigation effect that notifies the operation procedure corresponding to the selected winning navigation target combination is executed. The predetermined navigation target combination of the present embodiment includes a push order bell and SB1 to SB6.

FIG. 13 shows an example of the navigation mode of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 during the navigation guarantee period and AT described later. As shown in FIG. 13, when the push order bell is won during the navigation guarantee period or when the AT is controlled, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 notify the operation procedure of winning the 11-bell. To do. For example, when the left bell is won, the main control unit 41 uses the game auxiliary display device 12 to display “1-”. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 uses the liquid crystal display 51 to display a character such as "First left stop!". In addition, the speakers 53 and 54 also output voices indicating the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.

When the player is AT and is controlled by RT1 and the push order bell is won during AT, the player can win the 11-bell by operating in the informed operation procedure. , It is possible not to win the two bells that fall to RT0.

In addition, the main control unit 41 does not notify the operation procedure when the SBs 1 to 6 are won during the navigation guarantee period or when the AT is controlled. When SB1 to 6 are won in the navigation guarantee period or other than CB when controlled by the AT, the sub-control unit 91 uses the liquid crystal display 51 to drop the selected SB (falls to RT0). Perform a black star effect that encourages you not to win the role. The black star effect is an effect of displaying a black star image 520 as shown in FIG. The black star image 520 is an image that suggests the possibility that any of SB1 to 6 has won (may be any of SB1 to 6 may have won). Further, when the SB is won while being controlled by the CB, the sub control unit 91 executes a chance effect described later.

The black star image 520 is an image that prompts the SBs 1 to 6 not to win. In the present embodiment, for example, an image effect that suggests deriving (stopping) the specific symbol is executed. Here, the specific symbol is a symbol that does not win the SB. For example, for the left reel, the symbol for winning SB1 is blue 7. The specific symbol is a symbol that is separated from Blue 7 by 4 frames or more. In this embodiment, the specific symbol is a black bar. The black star image 520 is an image that suggests that SB is not won when the black bar is stopped on the winning line. As suggested by the black star image 520, the player can prevent the blue 7 from being derived by operating the bar so as to be derived, and as a result, prevent the SB from winning as much as possible. Further, when the SB is won, the black star effect is executed when it is controlled by RT1 after CB. For example, when the SB is won while being controlled by the CB, an effect (also referred to as an opportunity effect) of displaying a character of chance is executed (see FIG. 17C). In addition, in the present embodiment, the black star effect does not correspond to the navigation effect because it is not an effect that actively notifies the operation procedure.

As a modified example, a design in which the number of frames from blue 7 is larger than that of the bar (for example, white 7) may be used. In this case, for example, an image effect of displaying an image with a white motif may be executed.

As a modified example, the navigation effect at the time of SB winning may be as follows. For example, when SB1 is won, the sub-control unit 91 displays an image such as "Don't aim for Blue 7!" for the left reel, and an image such as "Don't aim for Blank 1!" for the middle reel. Then, for the right reel, an image such as "Don't aim for blue 7!" is displayed. When the player is AT and is controlled by RT1, and when any one of SB1 to 6 is won during AT, the player operates the operation procedure according to the notified image, and falls to RT0. It is possible to prevent SB from winning.

As described above, when controlled by AT and RT1, as a result of the notification of the operation procedure by the main control unit 41 and the effect by the sub control unit 91 being executed, it is possible to maintain at RT1. The subtraction of the number of AT games after the start of AT starts at RT1 and when the AT is controlled. As a result, the main controller 41 can control AT+RT1 over the determined number of AT games.

[About AT lottery]
Next, the AT lottery will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 14A, an AT lottery table according to the situation is used in the AT lottery. In the example of FIG. 14(A), during a period different from the navigation guarantee period described later (described as “outside of the navigation guarantee period” in FIG. 14(A)), it is ended by puncturing (the second end condition is satisfied). AT) after CB, the AT lottery using the first table is executed. Further, in the navigation guarantee period, when the RT1 is after CB which is completed by puncturing, the AT lottery using the second table is executed. The AT lottery using the third table is executed in the games in the CB other than the CB completion game among the plurality of games controlled by the CB. The CB completion game is a game that satisfies the first ending condition. Specifically, for example, in a situation where the number of medals paid out in the CB is 243, the CB is completed by winning 11 bells (the total number of medals paid out in the CB is 254 or more). ), the CB ends, but the CB completion game is a game in which the 11-bell is won.

Further, in the CB completion game, AT lottery using the fourth table is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is not executed in a situation different from any of the situations shown in FIG.

14B to 14D show examples of the first table, the second table, the third table, and the fourth table, respectively. Considering the probability of AT win, the expected value of the AT game number given when AT wins, the number of AT lottery execution conditions, etc., as shown by the * mark in FIG. The degree of advantage is 1st table<2nd table<3rd table<4th table.

[Navi warranty period]
In the present embodiment, in a CB-controlled game (CB winning game), a navigation guarantee period lottery for determining a navigation guarantee period is executed. The navigation guarantee period is a period during which the navigation effect is guaranteed to be executed during the CB and in the game after the CB ends. The navigation guarantee period is a period during which the navigation effect of notifying the corresponding operation procedure can be executed when any one of the push-order bell and SB1 to SB6 is won. Further, the navigation guarantee period is a period during which the navigation effect can be executed without subtracting the assigned AT game number (remaining AT game number).

In the following, the navigation guarantee period may be referred to as “temporary AT” because it is a period during which the navigation effect can be executed without subtracting the AT game number. Further, the period during which the navigation effect can be executed while subtracting the number of AT games may be referred to as “main AT”.

FIG. 15 is a navigation guarantee period determination table used in the navigation guarantee period lottery. In the navigation guarantee period lottery of the present embodiment, the probability that the navigation guarantee period of 10 games is determined and the probability that the navigation guarantee period of 15 games are determined are 50%.

[About image production]
In the present embodiment, in addition to the black star effect described in FIG. 13, a white star effect can be executed as the image effect. The white star effect is an effect of displaying a white star and is an effect that suggests that the RB has won (inspires the RB winning) (not particularly shown). FIG. 16 shows the probability of winning combinations when the black star effect is executed and the probability of winning combinations when the white star effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 16, for example, when the black star effect is executed, the probability that SB is won is 99%, the probability that RB+Replay is won is 1%, and the probability that Replay is independently won is 0. % Is shown. In addition, RB refers to a combination of RB1 and RB2, and replay refers to a combination of lip 1 and lip 2.

[When CB is flat]
Next, a timing chart when the CB is flat will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 17 is also a diagram illustrating a case where the AT is won at RT1 after CB in the navigation guarantee period. FIG. 17A shows each timing and period, and FIG. 17B shows an effect screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 by the sub-control unit 91. FIG. 17C shows a display screen displayed on the display screen of the lamp device 200. The display screen of the lamp device 200 displays, for example, the number of BB controls, the number of RB controls, the number of CB controls, and the controlled state of the day.

In the following, "T" means timing. For example, the timing T0 is referred to as "T0". It is assumed that CB control is performed at T0 in FIG. Further, up to T0, it is in a state of being controlled during non-CB (for example, RT0). In this state, as shown in FIG. 17A, a cloudy background (normal background indicating that the image is neither CB nor AT) is displayed as the background image 516. In addition, in the example of FIG. 17(S), it is displayed that the number of BB controls on that day is two, the number of RB controls is one, and the number of CB controls is five.

At T0, the navigation guarantee period is determined by executing the navigation guarantee period lottery using the table of FIG. Further, as shown in (A) of FIG. 17(B), at T0, information (characters “CB start!”) that can be specified to be controlled by CB is displayed. Further, at T0, a CB signal indicating that CB is in progress is transmitted to the lamp device 200. In the example of FIG. 17, the CB signal is a signal continuously output from T1 to T6. When the lamp device 200 receives the CB in-between signal, as shown in (C) of FIG. 17(C), the lamp device 200 displays a character such as “CB in-between” which is information that can identify that the CB is controlled. To do.

Next, at T1, it is assumed that the push order bell wins. The effect screen in this case will be described with reference to FIG. In the example of FIG. 17C, medal provision information 514, a sun background that is a background image 516, a character image 518 that is a human shape, and characters such as chance (hereinafter referred to as “chance characters”) 519 are displayed. To be done.

The medal grant information 514 is information that can specify the total number of medals given to the CB. In the example of FIG. 17C, 11 pieces of medal giving information 514 have been given. Further, the medal award number data that can specify the total number of medals awarded in the CB is stored in each of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 and the RAM 91c of the sub control unit 91, and the medal award number is given every time a medal is given. The data is updated. In addition, the case where the push order bell is won means that, as shown in FIG. 14C, the two-bell or eleven-bell that triggers the AT lottery is won. Therefore, the chance character 519 is displayed because there is a possibility that the AT will be won in the AT lottery.

The sun background is a background that suggests (notifies) that it is controlled by CB or the like. The character image 518 is an image that suggests (notifies) that it is controlled by CB. Further, the sun background and character image 518 are also images for suggesting that the AT lottery, which is not executed in the normal state (a state where neither CB nor RT1 after CB is executed), is executed.

At T2, the push order bell is elected. Also in this case, the chance character 519 is displayed as shown in FIG. Next, it is assumed that the game is stopped for the third time in the game of T3. FIG. 17E is a diagram showing a case where the third stop is performed. In the example of FIG. 17E, 99 pieces of medals are attached as the medal attachment information 514.

At T4, it is assumed that a lever-on operation (operation to the start switch 7) for starting the next game of the game of T3 is performed. At T4, it is assumed that SB, which is a punk role (a role to puncture CB), is elected. In this case, the CB does not complete and the CB ends at T4. However, when SB, which is a punk role, wins, as shown in FIG. 11, regardless of the pressing order, 11 bells are always won. In this embodiment, when the SB that flattens the CB is won and 11 bells are won, the AT lottery is executed using the table of FIG. 14D. As shown in FIG. 14D, when the 11-bell prize is won, an AT lottery that is more advantageous than when the 2-bell prize is won is executed.

Further, when the 11-bell prize is won, a fanning effect (not shown) is carried out that fuels the result of the AT lottery based on the winning of the 11-bell prize (indicating the possibility that AT was won in the AT lottery). This agitation effect is executed, for example, over a predetermined number of games (including one game). Further, this fanning effect may be executed with a predetermined probability or may be executed without fail. Further, this fanning effect may be executed, for example, when the pressing order bell is won in the CB and 11 bells are won. The agitation effect executed when the 11-bell is won may be executed in different modes when the push order bell is won and when the SB is won, and may be executed in the same mode. You can

Further, this fanning effect may be executed when two bells are won when the push order bell is won in the CB. Further, the stirrer effect may be executed in different modes or may be executed in the same mode depending on whether the two-bell wins or the eleven-bell wins.

Further, as shown in T3 and T4, even if the punk role is won and the CB is finished, the display of the medal grant information 514, the background of the sun background, and the display of the character image 518 are all taken over. It is executed (continuously). Further, at T4 in FIG. 17, as indicated by the mark *, the freeze is not executed and the output of the CB signal is continued. In addition to the background image, at least one of the output sound (for example, music) and the light emission mode of the light emitting means (for example, the effect LED 52) may be inherited.

Further, after T4, CB is completed, and RT1 is controlled (see FIG. 7). Since the navigation guarantee period is a temporary AT, it can be said that this RT1 is in a state of being controlled by RT1+temporary AT.

It is assumed that SB wins at T5. Here, SB has a role of falling to RT0 which is a disadvantageous RT by winning the prize in the advantaged RT. When the SB is won, as shown in FIG. 16, the black star effect is always executed. By executing this black star effect, it is possible to suggest that the bar is led out, and thus it is possible to prevent the SB from winning as much as possible.

At T6, it is assumed that the navigation guarantee period (period during which the temporary AT is executed) determined at T0 has ended. During the RT from T4 to T6, the AT lottery using the second table is executed. At T6, it is determined whether or not the AT is won in the navigation guarantee period (T0 to T6). FIG. 17 shows a case where it is determined that the AT is won at RT1 after CB in the navigation guarantee period. At T6, when the AT is won in the navigation guarantee period, the AT game provided is notified. In the example of FIG. 17(K), a character such as “AT start, 100 games added” is displayed at T6. Also, at T6, the background image is switched to the crescent moon background (background indicating that AT is in progress).

Further, at T6, as indicated by *, the freeze is executed for a predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds). Freeze is a state in which an operation for advancing a game is not accepted (or delayed). The operations for advancing the normal game are bet operations (operations on the MAXBET switch 6), lever-on operations, and reel stop operations. During the freeze, the game does not progress no matter what operation is performed by the player (for example, the bet number is not set even if the bet operation is performed, and the reel is stopped even if the start switch 7 is operated. Is maintained and the reel does not rotate).

Further, at T6, as shown by the * mark, the output of the CB signal is stopped and the AT signal indicating that the AT is in progress is output. When the lamp device 200 stops the CB signal and receives the AT signal, the lamp device 200 ends the display of the character “CB in progress” and displays the character “AT in progress” as shown in FIG. Then, the control count of CB is updated from the fifth time to the sixth time.

In the switched main AT, when the push order bell is won, a navigation effect for notifying the operation procedure of winning the 11-bell is executed. Therefore, when the player operates the stop switch in accordance with the operation procedure informed of the navigation effect, the two bells falling to RT0 are not won.

Also, in the switched main AT, when the SB is won, a black star effect is executed in which the SB is not won. According to this black star effect, when the player operates the stop switch, the SB falling to RT0 does not win. In this way, when controlled by the main AT, an effect capable of maintaining the advantageous RT (RT1) is executed. Further, it can be said that this RT1 is controlled by RT1+main AT.

At T7, it is assumed that the number of AT games given in the AT lottery during the navigation guarantee period becomes 0. The state after T7 is non-AT. Further, as shown in FIG. 17C, at T7, the background image is switched to the cloudy background (normal background). Also, at T7, the output of the AT signal is stopped. The lamp device 200 terminates the display of the character “AT in progress” as shown in FIG. After T7, although not particularly shown, two bells or SB may be won because the navigation effect or the black star effect is not executed. When the two-bell or SB is won, the advantageous RT (RT1) is finished and the disadvantage RT (RT0) is dropped (see FIG. 7). In addition, the main control unit 41 counts the number of digested games from the time of falling to RT0. At the same time, the main control unit 41 causes the lamp device 200 to update and display the digested game count (the digested game count since falling to RT0) every time the digested game count is counted. A predetermined process (for example, a process of giving an AT game when the number of exhausting games reaches the ceiling game) may be executed based on the number of exhausting games.

By the way, CB has a period in which 11 bells can be won (expected) multiple times. Specifically, in the CB, the probability that the SB wins is about 12% (see FIG. 8). In other words, the expected value of the number of CB games from the game in which the control of the CB is started to the game in which the CB is punctured (SB is won) is about 8 games. In addition, the probability that the push order bell is won during CB is about 87%. During the CB, by being controlled during the navigation guarantee period, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the navigation for winning 11 bells is executed. Therefore, the expected value of winning 11 bells in CB is about 7 games (=8×0.87). As described above, the CB has a period in which 11 bells can be won multiple times (expected to be won 7 times).

In addition, in this embodiment, even in RT1 (RT1 after CB ends), the 11-bell bell is a period in which it can be won (expected) multiple times. For example, in RT1 after CB, the probability of winning the push order bell (the push order bell in the non-CB) is 18% (see FIG. 9). Therefore, in the RT1, the push order bell can be won once in about 5 games. For example, when the CB is controlled to RT1 with 10 or more games remaining in the guaranteed navigation period, it is expected that 11 bells will be won twice at RT1. Therefore, even in RT1 after CB, it is a period in which 11 bells can be won multiple times.

Next, the case where the AT is won in the CB will be described with reference to FIG. Here, only the parts different from FIG. 17 will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, it is assumed that AT is won at T1 and T2 in CB. In this case, at T4 when the CB is punctured, as shown in FIG. 18C, the information (characters “AT winning!”) that can specify that the AT is winning is displayed. Also, as indicated by the mark * in T4, the output of the signal during CB is stopped. As shown in FIG. 18(s), by stopping the output of the CB in-between signal, the display of the character "CB in-between" is terminated, and the control number of CB is updated from the fifth time to the sixth time.

The AT (main AT) is started from T5 when the next game of the game in which the CB is flat is started. As shown in FIG. 18K, characters such as “AT start! Add 100 games!” are displayed on the effect screen. At T5, an in-AT signal is output as indicated by *. As a result, as shown in FIG. 18C, the characters “AT in progress” are displayed on the display screen of the lamp device 200.

As described above, in the example of FIG. 18, neither the CB middle signal nor the AT middle signal is output during one game of T4 to T5. As a modified example, in the example of FIG. 17, the effect of displaying the character “AT winning!” is executed at T6, and the “AT is executed at the timing Tx (not shown) that is the next game in which the effect is executed. A character such as "start 100G added" may be displayed. In this case, between T6 and Tx, neither the CB signal nor the AT signal may be output.

FIG. 19 shows a case where it is determined that the AT is not won in the navigation guarantee period. At T6, control is performed during the AT lottery period (outside the navigation guarantee period). Further, at T6, the effect (effect of FIG. 19C) that was executed at the advantageous RT (temporary AT+RT1) is succeeded. Further, during the AT lottery period (outside the navigation guarantee period), when the push order bell (the push order bell in the non-CB) is won, the AT lottery using the first table is executed. When an AT is won in the AT lottery, an operation procedure for winning 11 bells is informed by a navigation effect based on the AT winning. In this way, when an AT is won in the AT lottery, the navigation effect is executed in a game in which the push order bell that is the trigger for executing the AT lottery is won. By operating the operation procedure, the player can win the 11-bell bell and can avoid falling to the disadvantageous RT. On the other hand, when the AT is not won in the AT lottery, the navigation effect is not executed. If the push order bell that is the trigger for executing the AT lottery is missed (when two bells are won), the player will fall to a disadvantageous RT. In FIG. 19, it is shown that, at T7, two bells are won and the player is fallen to a disadvantageous RT. In this way, even if the AT is not won in the AT lottery within the navigation guarantee period, when the AT is won in the AT lottery using the first table, the loser can be revived to control the AT.

Further, at T7, as indicated by *, the freeze is executed and the output of the in-CB signal is stopped.

As a modification, the AT lottery (that is, the additional lottery) using the first table may be executed at the advantageous RT (T6 to T7) shown in FIG. When the additional prize is selected in the additional lottery, the additional AT game number is additionally added to the AT game number given within the navigation guarantee period.

[Difference in advantage when navi is executed and when navi is not executed]
Next, the difference in the degree of advantage during CB and AT during navigation will be described. In the following, the “navi” means both the navigation by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91.

When SB is won in CB, the navigation by the main control unit 41 is not executed and the chance effect is executed by the sub control unit 91. On the other hand, in CB, when the push order bell is won, the navigation by the main control unit 41 is executed, and the navigation effect is executed by the sub control unit 91.

That is, a game in which navigation is executed in the CB can be said to be a game in which the SB that flattens the CB has not been won. Therefore, it can be said that the game in which the navigation is executed in the CB is an advantageous game for the player in that the SB is not won. On the other hand, in the CB, a game in which the navigation is not executed, that is, a game in which the navigation by the main control unit 41 is not executed and the chance effect is executed by the sub control unit 91 causes the CB to be punctured. It is a game that SB may have won. Therefore, it can be said that the CB is in a more advantageous state for the player when the navigation is executed than when the navigation is not executed.

When AT (for example, advantageous RT + main AT), the game in which the navigation is executed is the game in which the push-order bell is won, and when the stop switch is operated in accordance with the navigation, two pieces of RT are fallen down. Bell wins can be prevented. In addition, the game in which the navigation is not executed is a game in which the SB is won, and when the stop switch is operated in accordance with the black star effect, it is possible to prevent the winning of the SB which causes the RT to fall. Therefore, it can be said that the AT is not as different in the degree of advantage as the CB when the navigation is executed and when the navigation is not executed.

[Difference in navigation timing between the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91]
Next, the difference in navigation start timing between the main controller 41 and the sub controller 91 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20(A) shows the timing of operations by the player. The example of FIG. 20A shows a lever-on operation by the player, three reel rotation start processing by the main control unit 41, and a stop switch activation processing. In addition, the example of FIG. 20 illustrates the navigation when the push order bell is won.

Here, the reel rotation start processing for starting the rotation of the three reels and the validation processing for validating the operation of the stop switch when the lever is turned on will be described. First, the reel rotation start processing will be described. When the player turns on the lever, it is determined whether or not a predetermined wait time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the reel rotation start process in the previous game. When it is determined that 4.1 seconds or more has elapsed from the reel rotation start processing in the previous game when the lever is operated, the reel rotation start processing is executed when the lever is operated. On the other hand, when it is determined that 4.1 seconds have not elapsed from the reel rotation start processing in the previous game when the lever-on operation is performed, and 4.1 seconds have elapsed from the reel rotation start processing in the previous game. Then, the reel rotation start processing is executed.

Next, the validation process will be described. The validation process is performed when both the first validation condition and the second validation condition are satisfied after the reel rotation process is performed. The first activation condition is a condition that is satisfied when the rotation speeds of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R become constant speeds. The second validation condition is a condition established when the reel sensors 33L, 33C, 33R detect the reference positions of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R. The reference position is, for example, a position where a mark (for example, a cutout) provided on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is provided.

20B and 20C respectively show the navigation timing at the time of winning the push order bell in CB. FIG. 20B shows the navigation timing of the main control unit 41, and FIG. 20C shows the navigation timing of the sub control unit 91. Further, FIGS. 20D and 20E respectively show the navigation timing at the time of the push-order bell winning in the AT (for example, the AT after the CB is finished). 20D shows the navigation timing of the main control unit 41, and FIG. 20E shows the navigation timing of the sub control unit 91.

As shown in each of FIGS. 20B and 20C, when the push-order bell is won in CB, both the main control unit 41 and the sub-control unit 91 execute the reel rotation start process (reel). The rotation is started.) At T22, the navigation is executed. Further, as shown in each of FIGS. 20D and 20E, when the push order bell is won during AT, the main control unit 41 executes the reel rotation start process (the rotation of the reel is started. ) At T22, navigation is performed, and the sub-control unit 91 performs navigation (navi effect) at lever-on operation T21.

[Main effects achieved by this embodiment]
Next, the main effects achieved by this embodiment will be described.

(1) According to the present embodiment, as shown in T4 of FIG. 17, when the SB is won in the CB in which the AT lottery is executed and the number of paid-out medals is large, the CB ends (punctures). When SB is won in CB, 11-bell is won regardless of the operation procedure of the player. In the CB, an advantageous AT lottery is executed by winning the 11-bell prize (see FIG. 14D). In other words, when the CB is flat, the 11-bell which wins the advantageous AT lottery is won. Therefore, even when the CB is flat, the last chance can be given.

In addition, in the CB, when the push order bell that can win the two-bell or the eleven-bell is won and when the SB that surely wins the eleven-bell is won, the common production (this implementation In the form, as shown in FIG. 17, an effect of displaying the chance character 519) is executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing which of the push order bell and the SB has won during the CB. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension, which can enhance the interest of the game.

(2) When the push order bell is won during CB, two pieces of bells are won according to the operation order (push order), and an AT lottery that is more advantageous than the two pieces bell is executed 11 pieces There are times when Bell wins. Therefore, the degree of advantage can be made different depending on the pushing order of the player, so that it is possible to increase the technical intervention and to give a sense of tension to the pushing order.

In addition, as a modified example, when a two-bell wins according to the operation timing, an 11-bell that wins an AT lottery that is more advantageous than the two-bell wins a specific winning combination. Good. According to such a configuration, the degree of advantage can be changed depending on the operation timing of the player, so that it is possible to increase the technical intervention and also to make the operator feel a sense of tension.

(3) As shown in FIG. 14, in the CB completion game, the AT lottery is executed using the fourth table. In the AT lottery using the fourth table, the advantage for the player is different when the left bell is won and when the middle bell or the right bell is won. Therefore, the player's attention can be paid to the result of the internal lottery.

(4) As shown in FIG. 14, in games in CB other than CB complete games, AT lottery is executed using the third table. In the AT lottery using the third table, the advantage for the player is different when the display result of 2 bells is derived and when the display result of 11 bells is derived. Therefore, the player's attention can be paid to the display result.

(5) In addition, the specific role that is a role of puncturing the CB and that executes the advantageous AT lottery is the SB. Therefore, such a specific combination can be an SB combination for controlling the SB state. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated role for puncturing the CB and for executing an advantageous AT lottery. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of winning combinations.

(6) Further, in the CB other than the CB complete game, the third table is used. As shown in FIG. 14, in the third table, the probability of winning the AT is higher when 11 bells are won than when 2 bells are won (probability that AT game number of 10 or more is given). Is set to be high. Therefore, the enjoyment of the game when the 11-bell is won can be improved.

(7) The third table is used in the CB other than the CB complete game. As shown in FIG. 14, in the third table, when the 11-bell is won, the expected number of AT games to be given when the AT is won is larger than when the 2-bell is won. Is set to be. The expected value is the sum of "the number of AT games that can be given x the probability that the number of AT games is given". Therefore, the enjoyment of the game when the 11-bell is won can be improved.

(8) The character image 518 (see FIGS. 17C to 17E) that suggests that the CB is in progress is advantageous after the CB is completed, as shown in FIGS. Also displayed at RT. Therefore, even if CB ends, it is possible to maintain the expectation of being controlled by CB. Further, when the advantageous RT ends, the display of the character image 518 ends. Therefore, it is possible for the player to recognize that the series of states is from the start of the CB to the end of the advantageous RT. Therefore, for example, even if the CB ends due to a puncture or the like, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing that the CB has a puncture (not to discourage the player) from the viewpoint of displaying the character image, and the CB continues The player can be recognized as if he or she is doing it.

(9) Further, when the 11-bell bell is won, an agitation effect is performed to fuel whether or not to win the AT in the AT lottery triggered by the winning of the 11-bell bell. Therefore, for example, even when the CB is punctured, when 11 bells are won in the CB punk game, it is possible to maintain the expectation for the AT winning by executing the fanning effect.

(10) Further, during the CB, the navigation effect is executed when the push order bell is won by being controlled during the navigation guarantee period. Further, CB is a period in which it is expected that the push order bell will be won multiple times (see T1 and T2 in FIG. 17). Therefore, the CB is a period in which it is expected that the 11-bell bell in which the advantageous AT lottery is executed is won a plurality of times. Therefore, the enjoyment of the game during CB can be improved. Further, as described above, also in RT1 after CB, it is a period in which it is expected that 11 bells will be won multiple times. Therefore, the enjoyment of the game during CB can be improved.

(11) In addition, even if the CB is punctured without winning the AT during the CB, the AT lottery using the second table can be executed during the advantageous RT after the CB puncture within the navigation guarantee period. Is. Therefore, even if the AT is not won in the CB, the AT lottery using the second table is remedially executed, so that the player can be prevented from being discouraged. Furthermore, during the advantageous RT after the CB puncture within the navigation guarantee period, even if the AT is not won, the AT lottery using the first table is executed as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if the AT is not won during the advantageous RT after the CB puncture within the navigation guarantee period, the AT lottery using the first table is remedially executed, so that the player is not discouraged. it can.

(12) Further, as shown in FIG. 17, at T4 when the CB is punctured, the output of the in-CB signal is continued as indicated by the * mark. After that, at T6 when the advantageous RT within the navigation guarantee period has ended, as shown by the * mark, the output of the signal during CB is stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17C, the display of CB is displayed on the display screen of the lamp device 200 from T0 to T6. After that, by stopping the output of the signal during CB at T6, the characters in CB are erased on the display screen of the lamp device 200, and the control count of CB is updated. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the external output of the signal, it is possible for the player to recognize that the series of states is from the start of the CB to the end of the advantageous RT within the navigation guarantee period.

(13) As shown in FIG. 18, when the AT is won in the CB, when the CB is flat, the AT signal is output in the game next to the game in which the CB is flat. Further, when the lamp device 200 receives the AT signal, the lamp device 200 indicates that the CB has ended (in the present embodiment, the character “during CB” is erased as shown in FIG. 18(S)). Further, as shown in FIG. 18F, characters such as “AT winning!” are displayed on the effect screen.

According to such a configuration, the player knows that the CB has punctured, but since the AT is elected in the CB, the player is informed that the AT has been elected without discouraging the player. Can be recognized.

(14) Further, as shown in FIG. 17, AT lottery can be executed during CB (between T0 and T4). Further, even when the CB is ended by winning the punk role, the AT lottery is executed within the navigation guarantee period (T4 to T6). Therefore, the enjoyment of the game can be improved as compared with the slot machine in which the AT lottery is not executed after the CB is ended by winning the punk role.

(15) In addition, as shown in FIG. 17 and the like, at RT1 (advantageous RT) after CB ends by winning the punk role, AT lottery is executed until the navigation guarantee period ends. Therefore, when an AT is won in the AT lottery, it is possible to control the temporary AT from the temporary AT while keeping the RT1. Therefore, the flow of the game can be made smooth.

(16) Further, as shown in FIG. 17B, the same background image is maintained in the CB and the RT1 after the CB puncture. In the example of FIG. 17B, the display of the sun background is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to recognize that the CB is finished even if the CB is finished by winning the punk role. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the completion of the CB.

(17) As shown in FIG. 14(A), the third table and the fourth table used in the CB are more suitable for the player than the first table and the second table used in the RT1 after the CB puncture. This is advantageous (see * mark in FIG. 14(A)). As a result, it is possible to improve the sense of expectation during CB (the period before shifting to the period in which the first table or the second table is used).

(18) As shown from T0 to T6 in FIG. 17, the navigation effect can be executed during the CB and within the navigation guarantee period at RT1 after the CB. The AT lottery is not ended within the navigation guarantee period in which the navigation effect can be executed (during temporary AT). Therefore, as long as it is within the navigation guarantee period (as long as the navigation effect is being executed), it is guaranteed that the AT lottery is executed, so that the player can feel secure.

(19) As shown in FIG. 15, when controlled by CB (when CB control is started), the main control unit 41 uses the navigation guarantee period determination table shown in FIG. To execute. As described above, the main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery and also determines the navigation guarantee period in which the AT lottery is executed. Therefore, since the main control unit 41 can link the AT lottery and the navigation guarantee period, the main control unit 41 can appropriately perform the AT lottery process and the process of shifting to the navigation guarantee period.

(20) As shown in FIG. 17 and the like, during the navigation guarantee period, when the push order bell is won, a navigation effect is issued to inform the operation procedure of winning the 11-bell bell that maintains the control to the advantageous RT (RT1). To do. Also, during the navigation guarantee period, when any of SB1 to 6 is won, a black star effect is executed to urge that the selected SB1 to 6 is not won.

Therefore, when the push order bell is won, the operation is performed according to the informed operation procedure, and when any of SB1 to SB6 is won, the operation to the advantageous RT (RT1) is maintained by operating according to the black star effect. Therefore, the player can feel a sense of security.

(21) Further, as shown in FIG. 17, at T4 when the CB is flat, the freeze is not executed as indicated by *. After that, at T6 when the advantageous RT within the navigation guarantee period has ended, the freeze is executed as indicated by *. Therefore, from the viewpoint of executing the freeze, it is possible for the player to recognize that the series of states is from the start of the CB to the end of the advantageous RT within the navigation guarantee period.

(22) As shown in FIGS. 17E and 17F, the sub-control unit 91 continues to display the medal grant information 514 during CB and at RT1 after CB puncture. Therefore, from the viewpoint of displaying the medal grant information 514, it is possible to let the player recognize that there is a series of states from the start of CB to the end of RT3.

(23) As shown in T4 of FIG. 17, even if the CB punctures, the freeze is not executed, and the freeze is executed when RT1 after the CB puncture ends as shown in T6. Therefore, from the viewpoint of executing the freeze, it is possible to let the player recognize that the sequence from the start of CB to the end of RT1 is a series of states.

(24) When the bonus is won (any one of CB, BB and RB is won) during RT1 after the end of CB, the RT1 ends and the inside of the bonus corresponding to the selected bonus is transferred (see FIG. 7). ). Therefore, even if the CB ends, the bonus can be transferred again, so that the enjoyment of the game can be improved. In addition, the freeze is not executed even when the RT1 ends by winning the bonus during the RT1. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the sequence from the start of CB to the end of RT1 is a series of states, and to prevent the flow of the game (rhythm) from being disrupted.

(25) When RT1 is finished, as shown in (h) of FIG. 17, a finish effect is executed, which indicates that CB is finished. Here, the end production is AT start! This is an effect to display characters such as 100 games added. The end effect is not an effect that notifies that RT1 has ended, but an effect that notifies that CB has ended. Therefore, by executing the end effect, it is possible to let the player recognize that the CB has ended, and to let the player recognize that there is a series of states from the start of the CB to the end of RT1. it can. As a modified example, the CB end effect may be an effect that displays a character such as “CB end!”.

In addition, the end effect is executed together with the freeze. When the freeze is being executed, the game does not proceed regardless of the operation of the player, so that attention can be paid to the effect screen of the end effect ((h) screen). Therefore, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize the effect contents of the end effect (that the bonus has ended), and to let the player recognize that there is a series of states from the start of CB to the end of RT1. You can

(26) By the way, in the game in which the push order bell is won, when the push order bell corresponding to the push order bell (hereinafter, corresponding push order) is operated (for example, when the middle bell is won, the middle first stop operation is performed. Occasionally, while 11-bell is won, when 11-bell is operated in a pressing order different from the corresponding pressing order, 11-bell is not won. Therefore, it can be said that in the game in which the push order bell is won, there is a large difference in advantage between when the push order is notified and when it is not notified. It will be very important. As shown in FIG. 13, when the push order bell is won, both the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 execute the navigation to notify the corresponding push order. Thereby, for example, even if the sub-control unit 91 fails and cannot perform the navigation, the main control unit 41 performs the navigation. Can be recognized.

On the other hand, in the game in which the SB is won, whether or not the SB is won does not depend on the pressing order of the stop switches, but only on the operation timing of the stop switches. Therefore, in the game in which SB is won, it can be said that the difference in advantage is the same when the push order is notified and when it is not notified, but in the game in which SB is won, the push order bell is won. Push order is less important than in games. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, in the game in which SB is won, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation, while the main control unit 41 does not perform the navigation. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden of the navigation process on the main control unit 41.

In addition, in the game in which the SB is won, the "black star effect that urges the SB not to win" (see FIG. 17F) is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Even when RB+Replay is won, it is executed with a low probability, so that even if the black star effect is executed, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the winning combination (for example, SB is won). You can prevent the player from doing what you did).

By the way, in the game in which SB is won in the advantageous RT (RT1), if the SB wins, the player will fall to the unfavorable RT (RT0), while it can be prevented to fall to the unfavorable RT when the SB does not win. Therefore, among the players, it can be said that in the game in which the SB is won, there is a large difference in advantage between when the navigation (for example, the timing at which the SB is not won) is notified and when it is not notified. , There is a certain player who feels that navigation that does not win SB should be performed on the main side as well. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the SB is won, not the navigation that directly informs that the SB has won, but the indirectly suggested effect (that is, the black star effect) is executed. Therefore, it is possible to provide satisfactory game playability to such a specific player.

(27) For example, in a game in which SB is won during RT1, when the symbols making up SB are operated at a timing at which they can be drawn in, SB to fall to RT0 is won, while operation is performed at a timing different from the timing. SB is not awarded when played. That is, it can be said that whether or not the SB is won depends on the operation timing. Also, in the game in which the push order bell is won during RT1, when the corresponding push order is operated, 11 bells that maintain control to RT1 are won, and when the push order bell is operated different from the corresponding push order, 11 bells are won. Win two bells that fall to RT0 without winning one bell. In other words, it can be said that whether or not the 11-bell is won depends on the pressing order. In this way, the operation intervention can be made different depending on the winning combination.

(28) As shown in FIG. 16, when the black star effect is executed, in the internal lottery result, the probability that the SB is won is 99%, whereas the probability that it is RB+replay is 1%. is there. Therefore, the player's attention can be paid to the result of the internal lottery. Further, when the black star effect is executed, it is possible to make the player predict that “the result of the internal lottery is likely to be SB”.

(29) As shown in FIG. 16, when the SB is won, the black star effect is always executed. When RB+Replay is won, the black star effect is executed with a probability of 1% and the white star effect is executed with a probability of 50%. Therefore, the player's attention can be paid to the result of the internal lottery. Further, it is possible to make the player predict the result of the internal lottery based on the executed effect.

(30) As shown in FIG. 16, with respect to the execution ratio of effects when RB+Replay is won, the ratio of white star effect execution (=50%) is the ratio of black star effect execution (=1%). Higher than. Therefore, the player's attention can be paid to the result of the internal lottery and the type of effect. Further, it is possible to make the player predict the result of the internal lottery based on the executed effect.

(31) The black star effect shown in FIG. 17F or the like is an effect that suggests the possibility that the SB has won (the effect that the SB may have won). In addition, the black star effect is an effect that promotes not to win the SB whose RT state falls by aiming at the black bar. By executing such a black star effect, it is possible to request the player to perform a technical intervention (an operation for dropping the symbols constituting the SB).

(32) The degree of advantage when the black star effect is executed is higher when the black star effect is executed when the RB+replay is won than when it is executed when the SB is won. This is because when the SB wins, the SB that causes the RT to fall may win, while in the game where the RB+replay wins, the RT does not fall and the RB that is advantageous to the player is controlled. Because you get it. Further, when the black star effect is executed, not only the player is urged not to win the SB, but also the player can have an expectation that the player may be controlled by the RB. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, when the black star effect is executed, most of the players win the SB, but rarely, the RB+replay wins. Therefore, when the black star effect is executed, when the RB+replay is won (when controlled by RB), the player can be surprised.

(33) For example, in a game in which the push order bell is won, as shown in FIG. 13, both the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 perform navigation. Therefore, stable navigation can be executed. If the navigation start timing on the main side is different between during CB and during AT, for example, there is a risk of disbelief that "the main control unit 41 may be out of order." On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20, the navigation start timing on the main side is the same regardless of whether it is in CB or AT. Therefore, it is possible to make the player feel a sense of security without making the player feel such distrust. On the other hand, the navigation start timing on the sub side is different between during CB and during AT. Therefore, the designer of the slot machine or the like can improve the degree of freedom in designing the start timing on the sub side.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main controller 41 has a smaller storage capacity (ROM, RAM, etc.) than the sub controller 91. If the navigation start timing of the main control unit 41 is different between CB and AT, the processing load of the navigation process of the main control unit 41 increases, and the program capacity of the main control unit 41 is compressed. Will be invited. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by making the navigation start timing of the main control unit 41 the same during CB and AT, the program capacity of the main control unit 41 can be reduced as much as possible.

(34) As shown in FIG. 13, the navigation is executed when the push-order bell is won, and is not executed when the SB that flattens the CB is won. That is, in the game in which the navigation is executed, the CB does not flatten. Thus, during the CB, when the navigation is executed, it is more advantageous to the player than when the navigation is not executed. Therefore, in CB, it is possible to provide a game feature that attracts the player's attention to the execution of the navigation.

(35) As described above, in the CB, the advantage of the player greatly varies depending on whether or not the navigation is executed. Therefore, in the CB, it is possible to make the player feel a sense of tension as to whether or not the navigation is executed. If the navigation start timing on the main side is different from the navigation start timing on the sub side during CB, the navigation will be executed when the navigation start is performed earlier on the main side or the sub side. That is, the duration of sustaining such a feeling of tension becomes shorter. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the navigation start timing on the main side and the navigation start timing on the sub side are the same during CB, it is possible to lengthen the period of maintaining the feeling of tension.

(36) In addition, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the display results derived by operating the stop switch based on (navigation on the main side and navigation on the sub side) are CB and AT. Will be the same. In this embodiment, 11 bells are won in CB and AT. Therefore, for the navigation that derives the same display result during CB and AT, the sub-control unit 91 can perform navigation at different timings during CB and AT, which improves the degree of freedom in design. Can be made.

As a modified example, in the game in which the push-order bell is won, different display results may be derived during CB and AT when the stop switch is operated based on the executed navigation. Specifically, in the game in which the push order bell is won, when the stop switch is operated based on the executed navigation, the CB display result is derived in CB, and the CB display result in AT. Different display results during AT may be derived. With such a configuration, when the CB display result is derived, it can be suggested to the player that the CB control is performed. Further, when the AT display result is derived, it can be suggested to the player that the AT control is performed. It should be noted that the medals to be awarded may be the same or different when the CB display result is derived and when the AT display result is derived. For example, when the CB display result is derived, the number of medals to be awarded may be larger than when the AT display result is derived. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game during CB. On the other hand, when the AT display result is derived, the number of medals to be awarded may be larger than when the CB display result is derived. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game during AT.

(37) For example, one game may be consumed quickly. Specifically, for example, it is a case where the MAXBET operation, the lever-on operation, and the first stop to the third stop operation are all performed at short intervals (for example, when an impatient player plays a game). When such a game is played, in the next game, when the lever-on operation is performed due to the wait time, the reel rotation process is not executed at the lever-on operation timing, and 4.1 seconds has elapsed from the reel rotation start process in the previous game. When the time has passed, the reel rotation process is executed. That is, a period (hereinafter, “waiting period”) from when the lever is operated to when the reel is rotated is provided. If the navigation on the main side and the navigation on the sub side are executed at the time of lever-on operation, the specific player will not have the handheld during this waiting period (they will be idle).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the CB, the navigation start timing on both the main side and the sub side is at the time of starting reel rotation (T22). Therefore, in the waiting period, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension as to whether or not the navigation is executed.

On the other hand, when controlled by the AT, the sub side performs navigation as early as possible, for example, in order not to miss the push order bell. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 20, the sub side performs navigation by lever-on operation T21. Therefore, even if the push order bell is won during AT, 11 bells can be won as much as possible.

(38) In the AT lottery in the CB complete game (the game in which the second ending condition is satisfied), the AT lottery is executed using the fourth table shown in FIG. 14(E). The AT lottery using the fourth table is executed according to the situation of the CB completion game. In the example of FIG. 14(E), the situation of the CB complete game is a situation based on the winning combination, and the advantage to the player is when the left bell is won and when the right bell is won. The AT lottery is executed differently. Therefore, various AT lottery can be executed in the CB completion game.

(39) Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the AT game given in the CB in a plurality of times. As described above, since the assigned AT game can be divided into a plurality of times to be notified, the expectation can be maintained more than when the number of assigned AT games is notified once.

(40) As shown in FIG. 14(E), the AT lottery in the CB completion game is executed based on the winning combination. Specifically, the AT lottery is executed so that the advantage for the player is different between when the push order bell is won and when the cherry is won. Therefore, various AT lottery can be executed in the CB completion game.

(41) Further, the condition for executing the AT lottery (AT lottery using the fourth table) that is advantageous for the player is to complete the CB (254 or more medals are paid out in the CB). Is. Therefore, when controlled by the CB, it is possible to provide a game feature that recommends the player to obtain 254 medals or more in the CB, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(42) Further, at the time when a winning combination that has the possibility of completing the CB (for example, the pushing order bell) is won, it is unknown whether or not the CB will complete. This is because, for example, if 11 bells can be won in a game in which 243 medals have been paid out in CB and the push order bell has been won, the number of medals paid out will reach 254. This is because while the CB completes, the CB does not complete because the two bells are won when the pushing order bell is missed due to a mistaken operation by the player.

Therefore, in such a state, in the game in which the winning combination that has the possibility of completing the CB is won, when the 11-bell is won (that is, at the timing when the completion of the CB is confirmed), the fourth table AT lottery using is executed. Therefore, the AT lottery can be appropriately executed.

(43) Further, in the present embodiment, the number of bets required to start one game in CB and in non-CB is the same. Therefore, even if the CB is finished (for example, even if the CB is flat), it is possible to prevent the player from knowing from the bet number that the CB is finished.

[About the push order bell in CB]
In the present embodiment, in the game in which the push order bell is won in the CB, as shown in FIG. 11, either the 11-bell bell or the 2-bell bell is described as winning according to the push order. However, when the first hand is won during CB, 11 bells will be won (or 11 bells can be won), and when the second role is won during CB, 2 bells will be won (or 2 bells). May be selected). With such a configuration, the advantage of the AT lottery can be changed according to the result of the internal lottery (winning combination), so that the interest of the game can be improved.

[About the role of puncturing the CB]
In the present embodiment, SB is exemplified as the puncturing role for puncturing CB. However, the punk role may be another role. Further, it is preferable that the puncture combination is a combination having another function. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a special winning combination for flattening the CB, and it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of winning combinations.

The punk role may be, for example, RB. The RB has a predetermined winning combination (in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the left removal bell, the center removal bell, and the right removal bell) with a higher winning probability than RT0 and RT1, and a plurality of games are controlled. It is in a state of being. The punk role may be replay. The replay is a role that allows the player to play the next game without using the gaming value (credit, medal). Further, the punk role may be another small role.

[About AT winning notification]
(1) When the AT is won within the navigation guarantee period (for example, during the CB), the AT winning notification is executed at T4 and T5 of FIG. 18 to notify that the AT has been won and the number of AT games given. did. However, when the AT is won during the CB, the AT winning notification effect for notifying that the AT is won may be executed when the AT is won (during the CB). This AT winning notification effect may be started, for example, in the game in which the AT is won, and may be ended at the end of CB (including puncture and complete run). This AT winning notification effect may be, for example, an effect of displaying a character such as "AT winning confirmation (preparing)". This "preparing" is a character that suggests that "it is controlled by the AT when the CB is terminated". When the CB ends, the AT winning notification effect may be ended and the AT control notification effect that notifies the AT control may be executed. The AT control notification effect may be, for example, an effect of displaying a character such as “AT rush!” and the number of AT games to be controlled. In this way, by executing the AT winning notification effect during CB, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game during CB.

Further, in the case of adopting a configuration of "when AT wins during CB, execute AT win notification effect during CB", when AT wins during CB, characters such as "AT win confirmed (preparing)" You may perform the effect of displaying. Further, during the period from the time when the AT is won to the time when the CB is finished, the AT winning suggestion effect that suggests that the AT is won is continuously performed. Here, the AT winning suggestion effect is, for example, an effect of displaying a character such as “AT additional probability of winning during AT preparation”. The AT winning suggestion effect is an effect that suggests that a further privilege (for example, addition of the AT game) different from the “number of AT games notified by the AT winning notification effect” is given. Further, in the period from the time when the AT is won to the time when the CB is finished, when the AT is won (additional winning), the number of AT games added may be notified. Further, for the “period from the time when the AT is won to the time when the CB is finished”, the AT winning probability may be higher than that during the CB when the AT is not won. Further, regarding the “period from the time when the AT is won until the time when the CB is finished”, the probability of winning the AT may be the same as that in the CB when the AT is not won. By executing such AT winning suggestion effect, it is possible to make the player have an expectation for AT winning even after the execution of the AT winning notification effect.

(2) When the AT is won during the CB, the AT winning notification effect may be executed after the CB is finished. For example, when the AT is won in the CB, the AT winning notification effect may be executed in the game in which the CB is finished (for example, when the punk role is won). In the case of such a configuration, for example, when the punk role is won, a character such as "Pinch to end CB?" is displayed for a predetermined period. When the display of this character is completed, a character such as "Last chance! Press the production switch!" is displayed. When the player operates the effect switch, the AT winning notification effect is executed.

Further, when the AT is won during the CB, the AT winning notification effect may be executed in any one of a plurality of games (specific period) after the game in which the CB is finished (that is, advantageous RT). .. In this case, for example, the AT winning notification effect may be executed when a predetermined effect execution condition is satisfied during the specific period. The performance execution condition may be, for example, a condition established when a predetermined winning combination is won. The predetermined combination may be SB, replay, or the like, for example. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game in the specific period after the CB is finished. Further, even after the CB ends, a configuration for executing an effect (in the present embodiment, an effect of displaying the character image 518) suggesting that the CB is controlled may be combined.

[About AT winning probability]
(1) For example, the configuration may be such that, during CB, it is possible to control to any one of a plurality of states with different degrees of advantage in AT lottery. For example, the CB may include a “first state in CB” and a “second state in CB in which the advantage degree of AT lottery is higher than the first state in CB”. With such a configuration, the AT lottery having different advantages for the player can be executed even in the CB, so that the interest of the game can be improved. Further, when the CB is started, it may be determined by random number lottery or the like which one of the CB first state and the CB second state is controlled.

Moreover, you may make it perform the in-CB state suggestion production which suggests the state in CB. For example, when the CB first state is controlled, the CB first state suggestion effect is executed, and when the CB second state is controlled, the CB second state suggestion effect is executed. Good. The CB first state suggestion effect and the CB second state suggestion effect may be configured to have different effect types. For example, the CB first state suggestion effect may be an effect that the teammate character specially trains. Further, the second state suggestion effect during CB may be a battle effect in which a battle is made with an enemy character. Further, although the type of effect is the same in the CB first state suggestion effect and the CB second state suggestion effect, the states displayed in the effect may be different. For example, both the CB first state suggestive effect and the CB second state suggestive effect are battle effects, and the CB first state suggesting effect has a lot of hit points (HP) of enemy characters. On the other hand, the battle effect of the CB second state suggestion effect is an effect of displaying a state in which the HP of the enemy character is low. The state in which the HP of the enemy character is low means that there is a high probability that the enemy character can be defeated, so it can be suggested that the AT winning advantage is high in the battle production of the second state suggestion production in CB.

Further, the CB mid-state suggestion effect may be executed at the same time when the control of the CB is started. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the control of the CB is started. Further, the CB in-state suggestion effect may be executed in the middle of CB instead of being executed at the start of control to CB. For example, when controlled by CB, a shutter effect of closing the shutter is executed. The shutter effect may be a character product or may be electronically displayed. When a predetermined opening condition is satisfied during CB, a shutter opening effect in which the shutter is opened is executed. When the shutter is opened, the CB in-state suggestion effect is in a state of being executed. With such a configuration, when the control to the CB is started, it is possible to make the player feel a sense of tension and improve the interest of the game during the CB.

(2) Further, in FIG. 14, the trigger for the AT lottery at RT1 after the end of CB is described as the push-order bell winning. However, the trigger for the AT lottery at RT1 may be, for example, a winning of 11 bells. As a result, at RT1 within the navigation guarantee period, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game when the navigation effect when the push order bell is won is executed.

(3) In the present embodiment, the advantage of the player depending on whether the 11-bell bell shown in the third table shown in FIG. 14D wins the push-order bell win or the SB win. May be different. For example, an AT lottery that is advantageous to the player is executed when the 11-bell is won when the SB win is triggered as compared to when the 11-bell is won when the push order bell is won as the opportunity. Good. According to such a configuration, for example, as shown in timing T1 and T2 in FIG. 17, as compared to when 11 bells are won by the push order bell win, 11 bells are won by the SB win as shown in timing T4. Since the advantageous AT lottery is executed when the prize is won, the significance of the last chance given when the CB is flat can be enhanced.

On the other hand, the AT lottery that is advantageous to the player is executed when the 11-bell is won by the push-order bell win as compared to when the 11-bell is won as the SB win is triggered. Good. With such a configuration, when the push order bell is won, it is possible to enhance the significance of operating in the corresponding push order.

(4) In the present embodiment, when the SB that flattens the CB is elected in the CB, 11 bells will be won regardless of the operation procedure. However, when the SB that flattens the CB is elected in the CB, and when the SB is operated in a specific operation procedure (for example, a specific operation timing), a special display result different from the 11-bell is derived. Good. This special display result is a display result in which the AT lottery, which is more advantageous than when the 11-bell is won, is executed. According to such a configuration, when the SB that flattens the CB is elected, there are times when an advantageous 11-bell is derived and times when an even more advantageous special display result is derived. The interest can be improved.

[About output signals]
(1) In this embodiment, the output processing of the CB signal and the AT signal is continued. However, for example, when displaying CB in the lamp device 200 (for example, T0 in FIG. 17), outputting a CB start signal for one clock and ending the display in CB (for example, T6 in FIG. 17). ), the CB end signal for one clock may be output. That is, for example, the output state of the signal may be changed at T6 without changing the output state of the signal at T4 in FIG. An AT start signal is output when starting AT, and an AT end signal is output when ending AT.

(2) In the example of FIG. 19, it has been described that the effect of displaying the character image 518 and the like is continuously executed after the timing T6 and the effect is switched at the timing T7. However, the effect may be switched at timing T6. In this case, the freeze execution, the stop processing of the CB signal, the deletion of the character "CB in the screen" of the lamp device, and the update of the CB control count may be executed at the timing T6.

(3) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the number of times the CB is controlled is updated at the timing T6 shown in FIG. However, the timing of updating the number of times of control to the CB may be set to the timing T0 when the CB wins (timing when the CB starts). In the case of such a configuration, the number of times of control to the CB is displayed in a normal manner (a manner in which the CB is continuously lit, without blinking) until the CB is won. Then, at the timing T0 when the CB wins, the number of times the CB is controlled is updated from 5 times to 6 times, and the 6 times of characters are displayed in a predetermined manner (for example, blinking manner). After that, at timing T6, the display in the predetermined mode is ended, and the display in the normal mode is executed (the blinking display is stopped). According to such a configuration, the player can clearly recognize the timing when the control to the CB is started, and the game is a series of states from the start of the CB to the end of the advantageous RT. Can be recognized by the person.

[About black star production]
As shown in FIG. 16, the black star effect has been described as being executed with a role different from the SB win. This different role has been described as RB+Replay. This RB+replay is a role in which the replay is derived regardless of the operation procedure (hereinafter referred to as "operation procedure unnecessary combination"). However, the different role may be another role. For example, the different winning combination may be a winning combination when operated in a predetermined operation procedure. Moreover, it is preferable that different winning combinations are advantageous to the player when a prize is won.

For example, a different winning combination may be an AT lottery target winning combination in which an AT lottery (at least one of an AT initial winning lottery and an additional lottery) is executed by winning. Further, it is preferable that the symbols constituting the AT lottery target combination are symbols located within 4 frames from the symbol (black bar) suggested to be derived by the black star effect. According to such a configuration, when the black star effect is executed, the player operates so as to lead out the black bar, and by this operation, when the AT lottery target combination is winning, the AT lottery is performed. It is possible to derive the symbols that make up the target winning combination. As a result, the AT lottery target winning combination can be won (derived), so that the AT lottery target winning combination is won, that is, the AT lottery is executed when the AT lottery target winning combination is won. Can be recognized.

Further, the different winning combination may be executed when a predetermined winning combination is won, for example, when the bonus winning has been won (including both the bonus winning game and the bonus winning carried over). .. Here, the predetermined winning combination may be a winning combination (for example, replay) regardless of the operation procedure. According to such a configuration, when the black star effect is executed, when the replay is won, it is possible to indirectly indicate to the player that the bonus is won.

Further, the black star effect may be executed when an event advantageous to the player occurs. The advantageous event may be, for example, that the AT is initially won, or that the AT is added. With such a configuration, when the black star effect is executed, it is possible to make the player have an expectation that an advantageous event has occurred.

[About the timing to start navigation]
(1) The navigation start timings of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 have been described as being as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 21 (first modified example) and FIG. 22 (second modified example), the navigation start timings of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 may be other timings.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 21, during CB, both the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 perform navigation by lever-on operation T21. In addition, during AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation by the lever-on operation T21. If it is during CB, the sub-control unit 91 executes navigation at reel rotation start T22. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute the navigation at an earlier timing during CB as compared with the example of FIG. On the other hand, during AT, the main control unit 41 can execute navigation at an early timing, and the sub control unit 91 can execute navigation at a late timing. In the example of FIG. 21, the navigation start timing of the sub control unit 91 may be any timing as long as it is the timing after the lever-on operation T21.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 22, during CB, both the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 execute the navigation at T23 when the operation of the stop switch is valid. Further, during AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation at T23 when the operation of the stop switch is valid. If it is during CB, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation by the lever-on operation T21. With such a configuration, compared to the example of FIG. 20, during CB, navigation can be executed at a later timing. Therefore, in the CB where it is important for the player to execute the navigation, it is possible to maintain a feeling of tension as to whether or not the navigation is executed until the stop switch is effective T23. Further, during the AT, the sub-control unit 91 executes the navigation by the lever-on operation T21, so that it is possible to prevent the pushing order bell from being missed as much as possible.

(2) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, CB and AT are exemplified as the first situation and the second situation in which the sub navigation start timing is different. However, the first situation and the second situation may be different situations. For example, the first status may be a predetermined RT status and the second status may be a specific RT status.

[About counting the number of digested games]
In the present embodiment, the explanation has been made on the assumption that the timing for starting the counting of the number of consumed games by the main control unit 41 has fallen to RT0. However, the timing to start counting the number of exhausted games may be set not to fall to RT0 but to be the time when the number of AT games becomes zero. In this case, the lamp device 200 updates and displays the number of consumed games since the number of AT games became zero. Since the main control unit 41 manages the number of AT games, the main control unit 41 can start counting the number of exhausted games when the number of AT games becomes zero. Become. According to such a configuration, a predetermined process (for example, the digest game count reaches the ceiling game) based on the digest game count from the time of non-AT control (when the AT game count becomes 0). Sometimes, the process of giving an AT game) can be executed. Further, the main control unit 41 stops the output of the AT during signal when the number of AT games becomes 0.

[About the number of 11-bell prizes]
(1) In the present embodiment, the CB has been described as a period during which 11 bells can be won (expected) multiple times. However, in CB, 11 bells may always win a plurality of times. For example, the condition that the CB is punctured may be "a condition that is satisfied when the SB wins after 11 bells have won N times (N is an integer of 1 or more) in the CB". At the same time, until the CB is punctured, when the push order bell is won, a navigation for winning 11 bells is executed. According to such a configuration, during the CB, the 11 bells are always won N+1 times. It should be noted that one time is based on the fact that 11 bells are won regardless of the operation procedure in the game in which SB is won in CB. With such a configuration, the 11 bells can be surely won a plurality of times during the CB. Therefore, the interest of the game during CB can be improved.

(2) Further, as shown in FIG. 14C, the AT lottery condition in RT1 after the CB puncture within the navigation guarantee period is described as being the push order bell win. However, the AT lottery condition may be a winning of 11 bells. With such a configuration, the display result can be focused on the RT1. Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that in RT1 after CB, it is a period in which it is expected that 11 bells will be won a plurality of times a plurality of times.

Further, in the RT1 after the CB, it may be a period in which the 11-bell is won a plurality of times without fail. As a method of doing this, for example, the condition for ending the navigation guarantee period may be a condition based on the number of winnings of 11 bells. For example, in the navigation guarantee period determination process, the “navi guarantee period end condition” includes “two 11-bell bells win at RT1” and “three 11-bell bells win at RT1 three times” It may be determined from any of the above. According to such a configuration, in the RT1 after the CB, the 11-bell can be surely won a plurality of times, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the RT1.

[About CB]
(1) In the example of FIG. 17, the case where the CB is flat (see T1) has been mainly described. However, the control described in FIG. 17 may be applied when the CB completes. For example, at T4, if the CB has completed the race, and if it is within the navigation guarantee period, AT lottery is executed. When the AT is won within the navigation guarantee period, the control after T4 in FIG. 17 is performed to win the AT. If not, control after T4 in FIG. 19 may be performed.

(2) In the present embodiment, in the advantageous RT (RT1) after CB, the predetermined period during which the AT lottery is executed may be a fixed value (for example, 10 games). Further, the navigation guarantee period may be a fixed number of games (for example, 10 games) instead of being determined by lottery. Further, 0 game may be determined as the navigation guarantee period in the lottery.

(3) In the present embodiment, when the punk role (one of SB1 to SB6) is won during the CB, the punk role is a role that may be derived (winning). However, even if the punk role is won, it may be a role that is never derived regardless of the operation procedure of the player. According to such a configuration, even if a flat blow is won during the CB, the flat is not derived, so that it is possible to prevent the player from knowing that the flat is finished by the flat blow. In addition, "winning of punk role" is exemplified as a condition for the CB to puncture. However, the condition for the CB to be punctured may be “winning of punk role”. In this case, the SB will be won during the CB.

(4) In the present embodiment, as shown by the mark * in FIG. 14A, the degree of advantage is 1st table<2nd table<3rd table<4th table. However, the order of advantage of each table is not limited to this. For example, the AT lottery that is advantageous to the player may be executed in RT1 (first table and second table) after CB puncture than in CB (third table and fourth table). .. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation that the CB wants to be punctured, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, the AT lottery which is more advantageous to the player may be executed in the games in the CB other than the CB completion game (third table) than in the CB completion game (fourth table). According to such a configuration, since it is advantageous in a CB other than the CB completion game, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the CB.

(5) As described with reference to FIG. 17, it is described that the effect of displaying the character image 518 executed in the CB is also executed in the RT1 after the CB. The effect of displaying the character image 518 may be terminated in the middle of the RT1. In this case, a CB end signal is output when the effect for displaying the character image 518 is ended. The lamp device 200 may display the screen of FIG. 17C when the CB end signal is received.

[About Freeze]
(1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the freeze is executed when RT1 (advantageous RT) ends. The automatic settlement process may be executed during the freeze (or as the freeze). Here, in the automatic settlement process, the main control unit 41 settles the medals stored as credits and the medals used for setting the bet number (returns the medals used for setting the credit and the bet number. ) Processing. When the automatic settlement process is completed, the freeze is also released. In this way, when RT1 ends, the automatic settlement process is executed, so that the player can recognize that CB and RT1 are in a series of states.

(2) In the present embodiment, it has been described that a freeze for a predetermined time (10 seconds) is executed when RT1 ends. When RT1 ends, the freeze state may be set to the stop state. The stopped state is a state in which the game cannot be progressed, and can be released when an operation that can be performed only by a store clerk (for example, an operation on the reset switch 23 with the front door 1b opened) is executed. It is in a state. In this way, when RT1 is finished, the player can be made to recognize that CB and RT1 are in a series of states by being controlled to stop.

(3) Further, at RT1, an effect that inherits a part of the effect mode of the character effect (the effect of displaying the character image 518) that has been executed during the CB may be executed. Further, CB is illustrated as an advantageous state in which it is recognized as a series of states with the advantageous RT depending on whether or not the freeze process is executed. However, the advantageous state may be another bonus, such as BB or RB.

[About benefits]
In the example described above, the AT winning and the number of AT games are given as the privilege. The privilege may be a value that directly affects the payout rate of medals or pachinko balls, such as Navistock (for example, 1 Navistock=50 AT game) and BB winning. Further, the privilege may be a value that improves the degree of advantage for the player, and may be a value that does not directly affect the medal payout rate, for example. Specifically, in the AT lottery, when a high-probability state in which AT is won with a higher probability than in the normal time is provided, execution of probability suggestion production for suggesting whether or not the current state is a high-probability state , The liquid crystal display 51 performs a premiere effect together with a sound (a special character appears, a special bonus effect is executed in the next bonus), a set value (advantage to the player (for example, payout of a medal) Execution of set value suggestion production for suggesting (value which determines the rate), awarding of points that can be exchanged for the service defined at the game shop where the slot machine 1 is installed by collecting a certain number, special images and special information. A two-dimensional code that can be downloaded at a predetermined website may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

[About advantageous conditions]
In the example described above, CB or AT is illustrated as an advantageous state, but other states may be used. The advantageous state may be, for example, a state in which the privilege is more likely to be given than in the normal time, or a state in which the probability of the privilege is higher than in the normal time.

[About AT]
In the example of the slot machine described above, the example in which the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT has been described, but at least a part of the control related to the AT may be executed in the sub control unit 91.

[Setting change status and setting confirmation status]
Regarding the setting change state, it may be possible to shift to the setting change state on condition that “power supply ON”+“setting key switch ON”+“front door open detection”. As a result, it is possible to prevent unauthorized setting changes while the front door is not open. In addition, once the setting change status is entered, the setting change status is maintained regardless of whether the front door is open or closed until the end condition for ending the setting change status (the setting key switch is turned off after the set value is confirmed) is satisfied. You may do so. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not ended, and thus it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting change state again.

Further, regarding the setting confirmation state, the condition may be set to "setting key switch ON"+"front door open detection" as a condition. As a result, it is possible to prevent unauthorized setting confirmation when the front door is not opened. Also, once the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation state is maintained regardless of the open/closed state of the front door until the end condition (setting key switch OFF operation) for ending the setting confirmation state is satisfied. Good. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state is not ended, so that it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting confirmation state again.
