In the case where these condition device numbers 8 to 13 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the pressing order of each correct answer, the bell (small winning combination 6) is won. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the pressing order of the correct answer, the one-card winning combination other than the bell (small winning combination 6) is preferentially stopped. In the above configuration, if the stop operation does not match the correct push order, it may be lost. However, if the stop operation does not match the correct push order, for example, the above-mentioned one-card combination always wins a prize. It may be configured to always win a prize in some role.

<Type of game state>
Next, the types of gaming states of the slot machine 100 and their transitions will be described. FIG. 11 is a transition diagram of the gaming state of the slot machine 100.

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

FIG. 11 shows the four gaming states described above, and these transition conditions are described on the arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is satisfied, the gaming state transitions in the direction of the arrow.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a lottery table for the internal winning combination in the case of the set value 1 and the set value 6. In this figure, the vertical axis shows the condition device number of the internal winning combination (conditional device) (including the loss without the internal winning combination), and the horizontal axis shows the set value. The corresponding lottery value (the size of the range of lottery data) is shown. It should be noted that these lottery values are common to the four gaming states described above. If the condition device is not internally won in the game, it will be lost and the symbol combination corresponding to the combination will not be displayed. In addition, the fact that the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped on the winning line may be referred to as "loss". In addition, the fact that the role was not won may be expressed as "winning the loss".

In the gaming state described below, the internal winning probability of the winning combination is a random number value acquired at the time of the internal lottery by selecting numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each winning combination from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306. It is obtained by dividing by the numerical data in the range of (for example, 65536). For example, in the set value 1, the lottery value of the common bell (small winning combination 6) of the condition device number 14 is 1200, and the winning probability is 1200/65536≈1.83%.

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

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

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

<Normal state>
The normal state is the most unfavorable gaming state for the player. In the normal state, if the state B described later is set, pt can be acquired as the game progresses, and the cumulative acquired pt increases (step S1247 in FIG. 18). In this embodiment, when the value of the number of high-probability remaining games to be described later is larger than 0, the cumulative acquired pt is likely to increase. In addition, the number of pt high probability sets is provided, and when this value is larger than 0, the number of pt high probability remaining games is added again even if the number of pt high probability remaining games becomes 0, and the cumulative acquired pt increases. We have adopted a configuration that keeps it easy to do. In the following description, a state in which the pt high probability flag is on (a state in which the cumulative acquired pt is likely to increase) may be referred to as a high probability mode, and a state in which the pt high probability flag is off may be referred to as a normal mode. When the cumulative acquired pt becomes 1000 pt or more, the chance zone transition lottery and the AT direct hit lottery are executed in exchange for 1000 pt (step S1211 in FIG. 17).

FIG. 11 shows that if the chance zone transition lottery is won in the normal state, the region shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 11, Yes in step S1B05 in FIG. 27). Further, it is shown that if the AT direct hit lottery is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (E) in FIG. 11, Yes in step S1B01 in FIG. 27). Further, it is shown that when the number of chance zone transition games set in the normal state elapses, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 11, Yes in step S1B09 in FIG. 27). As the number of chance zone transition games, a value (step S1013 in FIG. 14) set when winning the transition lottery in the state B described later in the normal state is used.

<Chance Zone (CZ)>
The chance zone is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to make a profit than in the normal state and is more advantageous than the normal state. In this chance zone, when the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, the notification of the correct stop operation order corresponding to each (hereinafter, may be referred to as operation navigation) is displayed (Fig. Step S1505 of 25, step S3005 of FIG. 35). Note that this operation navigation is not limited to the one that indicates the push order, and may be used to indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, such as "Aim for ...!", Or the push order. And may indicate both timing. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push order bell may be referred to as a bell navigation. Further, in the present embodiment, the bell navigation in the CZ adopts a configuration showing the order of all the stop operations from the first to the third stop, and in the following description, the bell navigation showing the order of all the stop operations. Sometimes called full navigation. In addition, unlike this embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which the correct push order is displayed in 50% of the winners of the push order bell condition device during CZ. In this case, it becomes difficult to obtain profit (becomes disadvantageous) compared to the AT state, while it is possible to make the state more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

When the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, if the number of remaining CZ games is not 0, the game state shifts to the AT state by internally winning the corresponding condition device (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 28 or in step S1C03). Yes). In addition, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 while winning the AT lottery, the gaming state shifts to the AT state regardless of the result of the internal winning (even if the corresponding condition device is not internally won). (Yes in step S1C09 in FIG. 28). On the other hand, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 without winning the AT lottery, the gaming state shifts to the normal state (No in step S1C09 in FIG. 28).

In FIG. 11, the state shifts to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery in the chance zone (arrow (C) in FIG. 11), and if not won, the state shifts to the normal state (arrow (B) in FIG. 11). It is shown that.

<AT state>
The AT state is advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the special zone. In this AT state, as in the chance zone, when the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, the operation navigation (full navigation) corresponding to each is displayed, which is advantageous for the player to easily make a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 25, step S3005 in FIG. 35). This AT state is managed by the number of AT remaining games, but the number of AT remaining games may be added by lottery (steps S1403 and S1405 in FIG. 22A). Further, in the present embodiment, the number of remaining AT games may be added by clearing the conditional addition (set in step S1409 in FIG. 22 (a)) described later (step S1D03 in FIG. 27 (a)). ..

Further, if the number of special zone sets is larger than 0 due to winning the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 22A) in the AT state, the number of remaining AT games becomes 0. When this happens, the game state shifts to the special zone (step S1D11 in FIG. 29 (a)).

In FIG. 11, when the number of special zone sets is larger than 0 and the number of remaining AT games becomes 0 in the AT state, the game shifts to the special zone (arrow (F) in FIG. 11), and the AT end condition (AT end condition). For example, when both the number of remaining AT games and the number of specialized zone sets are 0), it is shown that the normal state is entered (arrow (D) in FIG. 11 and No in step S1D09 in FIG. 29 (a)). ing.

<Specialized zone>
The specialized zone is in a more advantageous state than the normal state, but is more disadvantageous than the chance zone and the AT state. In this special zone, as in the chance zone and AT state, when the push order bell (condition device number 8 to 10) is internally won, the operation navigation corresponding to each is displayed, but in this embodiment, the special zone is displayed. The Bell Navi inside adopts a configuration that shows only the order of the first stop operation out of the first to third stops, making it harder for the player to make a profit than in the chance zone and AT state (Fig. 25). Step S1515, step S3005 in FIG. 35). In the following description, a bell navigation system that indicates only the stop button that is the target of the first stop may be referred to as a half navigation system.

In this special zone, a scenario is selected by lottery (step S1D23 in FIG. 29 (b)), and a privilege type is set for each game (maximum 30 games) according to this scenario (FIG. 24). .. Based on this privilege type, the number of remaining AT games may be added (step S1E07, step S1E11 in FIG. 30), and the life (maximum 3) may increase or decrease (step S1E25, step S1E43 in FIG. 30). .. This special zone shifts to the AT state when the scenario ends (30 games have elapsed) or the life becomes 0 (step S1E13 in FIG. 30, step S1E47). The number of AT remaining games is not subtracted.

In FIG. 11, when the special zone end condition (for example, the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is “L” or the life value is 0) is satisfied in the special zone, the state shifts to the AT state (for example, The arrow (G) in FIG. 11 and step S1E13 and step S1E47 in FIG. 30 are shown.

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, in addition to the four gaming states described above, the current state is managed separately in the state A and the state B. The state A is the state at the start of the normal state, and is also the state at the time of changing the setting or after clearing the RAM. If the transition lottery of the state B is won in this state A, the state B is set (step S1003 in FIG. 14). The condition for transitioning to the state B is that the transition is made when an internal winning role is won in the state A. In the present embodiment, since an internal winning role is won with a probability of about 80%, there is a high probability that the state B will be entered. When this state B is set, initial settings such as setting the number of CZ transition games for shifting to the chance zone are executed (Yes in step S1005 of FIG. 14), and pt can be acquired (yes). No) in step S1001 of FIG. That is, while the state A is set in the normal state, it is not possible to shift to the gaming state other than the normal state, and when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to the gaming state other than the normal state. When the normal state is restored again, the state A is set (step S1C11 in FIG. 28, step S1D17 in FIG. 29 (a), step S1F21 in FIG. 31). In the state B, the notification of the stop operation order (operation navigation) may be executed for the internally won combination, and this operation navigation is not displayed in the state A.

As described above, when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to a state that is advantageous to the player, but if the state B continues for a long period of time, excessive profits can be obtained, or even for a short period of time, many There is a risk of inciting gambling by earning profits. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation, the following two are separately provided as the termination conditions of the state B. The first is a case where the state B is continued over a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games), and this is managed by using the number of games that can be continued in the state B (step S1F09 in FIG. 31). If the result is No, the result is Yes in step S1F03 of the next game, and the state A is entered). The second is the case where a predetermined net increase number (for example, 2400) of medals is obtained from the time when the net increase number is the lowest, and this is managed by using the MY counter (FIG. 32 (a)). If Yes is determined in step S1G21 of the above, Yes is determined in step S1F03 immediately after that, and the state A is entered).

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

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

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

As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with a start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which the start signal is input reset-starts by reset interrupt and executes the main control unit main process shown in FIG. 13 according to the control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

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

In step S103, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted (maintenance or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132), and the winning line indicator lamp 120 is turned on according to the insertion of the medal. In addition, when a medal is inserted, preparations are made for transmission of an insertion command indicating this. If the replay is won in the previous game, the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game are inserted, so that the player does not need to insert medals. In addition, it checks whether the start lever 135 has been operated while the specified number of medals have been used, and if the start lever 135 is operated, the number of medals inserted and the valid winning line are determined, and the game is played. To start.

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

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

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

In step S111, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted by the timer update process described later) is 0, and the initial value is set in the game interval timer. Further, at the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, preparations are made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400. After that, when the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, the optical sensor provided on each reel is detected, and the symbol position of each reel is grasped, the stop operation for the stop buttons 137 to 139 is enabled. It should be noted that the game interval counter secures the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in the present embodiment) and suppresses gambling.

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

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

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

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

With the above, one game is completed. After that, the game proceeds by returning to step S103 and repeating the above-described processing.

Next, the details of the game start state processing (step S109) in the main control unit main processing of FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the game start state processing (step S109) in FIG.

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

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

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

In step S1007, the state B flag is set to on, and the number of games that can be continued in state B is set. Here, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is a value that defines the number of games that can be continued in the state B, and is configured so that the state B is not maintained beyond this value. In the present embodiment, 1500 is set as this value, but it may be another constant, and it may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values without being limited to the constant.

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

In step S1011, the mode is set with reference to the table of FIG. 15 (a). In this embodiment, three types of CZ transition modes, mode A, mode B, and mode C, are provided, and the number of CZ transition games is set based on these modes. Here, for example, if the set value is 1, the probability that mode A is selected is 70%, the probability that mode B is set is 20%, and the probability that mode C is selected is 10%. .. The lottery probability of the mode may be different for each setting, such that the higher the setting, the higher the transition rate to the mode C is set. Further, the mode that is most likely to be set may be different for each setting.

In step S1013, the value of the number of CZ transition games is set with reference to the table of FIG. 15B. For example, when mode A is set as the CZ transition mode, the probability that the number of CZ transition games will be selected in the range of 201 to 300 is 10%. Further, for example, when the mode B is set, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 101 to 200 is 20%. As for the number of CZ transition games, any value in these numerical ranges is selected by a further lottery, but the lottery probability at this time may be equal within the numerical range or within the numerical range. A bias may be provided so that a specific range or a specific value is easily (or difficult to be selected) selected. In the present embodiment, after the state B is set in the normal state, the game shifts to CZ when the number of CZ transition games set here elapses without shifting to CZ.

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

In step S1017, the value of the number of games elapsed in state B is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step S1019.

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

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

In step S1041, preparations are made for transmitting the internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400, and the game start state processing is terminated. In addition, this internal winning command includes the condition device number of the internal winning, the game state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of CZ remaining games, the number of AT remaining games and the number of additional games), the acquired pt and the cumulative acquired pt, pt. Number of high-probability remaining games, number of pt high-probability sets, presence / absence and result of execution of CZ lottery and AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 17), state B flag, pt high probability flag, number of state B elapsed games, number of CZ transition games , The state of the conditional addition flag, the condition for clearing the conditional addition, the presence / absence of various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right), instruction information, privilege type arrangement, arrangement of the number of games to be added, and the like.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the details of the game start state B related process (step S1031) in the game start state process of FIG. 14 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the game start state B related process (step S1031) in FIG.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1111, AT-related processing is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1121. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 22 (a).

In step S1113, the special zone-related process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1121. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 22 (b).

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

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the details of the normal related process (step S1103) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 16 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the normal related processing (step S1103) in FIG.

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

In step S1203, the pt high probability set number lottery is executed. In the pt high probability set number lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 19C are used. For example, in the condition device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, the condition device number 5), the pt high probability set number lottery is won with a probability of 20%. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1205.

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

In step S1207, the value of the pt high probability set number is added. In determining the value to be added here, the current set value and the table of FIG. 19D are used. For example, when the set value is 1, 1 is added with a probability of 75%, and 2 is added with a probability of 25%. Then, the process proceeds to step S1209.

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

In step S1211, a lottery (CZ lottery, AT lottery) for setting the CZ and AT states is executed. In these lottery, the table of FIG. 20A is used. For example, when the set values are set to 1 to 4, the CZ lottery is won with a probability of 20%, and the AT lottery is won with a probability of 5%.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1231, 1 is added to the value of the number of games elapsed in state B, and the process proceeds to step S1233.

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

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

In step S1237, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to on, ending this normal related process.

Next, the details of the pt acquisition-related process (step S1221) in the normal-related process of FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the pt acquisition-related process (step S1221) in FIG.

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

In step S1243, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 19B are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, the conditional device number 1), 10 pt is acquired with an 80% probability and 20 pt is acquired with a 20% probability. Note that these probabilities and values are examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

In step S1245, the pt lottery (normal mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 19A are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, the conditional device number 1), 5pt is acquired with a probability of 15% and 10pt is acquired with a probability of 5%. Note that these probabilities and values are examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

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

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

In step S1253, the value of the number of remaining games with a high probability of pt is subtracted by 1, and the pt acquisition-related processing is completed.

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

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

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

Next, the details of the CZ-related process (step S1107) in the game start state B-related process of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the CZ-related process (step S1107) in FIG.

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

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

In step S1305, a lottery (AT lottery) for whether or not to set the AT state is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 20B are used. For example, a conditional device (for example, conditional device number 5) corresponding to the lottery type B has a 20% probability of winning the AT lottery. In addition, if the lottery is won here, a lottery (sorting lottery) for acquiring either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is subsequently executed. The table shown in FIG. 20 (c) is used for this lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 5, the BAR right is acquired with an 80% probability, and the peach 7 right is acquired with a 20% probability. If the AT lottery is won in the process here, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery has one stage, but for example, when the lottery is won a plurality of times (for example, three times), the AT state may be entered. Further, in this configuration, when the peach 7 right is acquired, it may be confirmed that the state shifts to the AT state even if the player has not won a plurality of times. Further, the BAR right acquisition lottery may be performed, and the winning of the replaying combination 10 in the state where the BAR right is acquired may be counted as one of a plurality of winnings.

Next, the details of the AT-related processing (step S1111) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. 22A. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of AT-related processing (step S1111) in FIG.

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

In step S1403, a lottery for adding the number of remaining AT games is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 23A are used. For example, when the condition device (for example, condition device number 7) corresponding to the lottery type D is internally won, the number of remaining AT games is added with a probability of 40%, and the breakdown is 10 with a probability of 90%. There is a 10% chance that it will be 20. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery for adding the number of remaining AT games is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional devices.

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

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

In step S1409, a conditional extra lottery is executed. Here, an additional lottery for the number of remaining AT games obtained at the time of clearing the conditional addition (details will be described later) is executed. In this lottery, the table of FIG. 23B is used, 10 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 20%, 20 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 5%, and a probability of 5%. 30 games are selected as the number of additional games, and 100 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 0.1%. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the conditional additional lottery is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional devices. If the conditional addition lottery is won, the conditional addition flag is set to on, and the lottery for the condition for clearing the conditional addition is executed. After that, the process proceeds to step S1411.

In step S1411, a lottery (special zone right lottery) for whether or not to acquire the right to move to the special zone (the number of special zone sets) is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 10) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 23 (c) are used. For example, if the condition device (for example, condition device number 7) corresponding to the lottery type D is internally won, there is a 10% probability that the lottery will be won. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the special zone right lottery is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional device. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1413.

In step S1413, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1411 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1415, and if not, the AT-related process ends.

In step S1415, 1 is added to the value of the number of special zone sets, and this AT-related processing ends.

Next, the details of the specialization-related processing (step S1113) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. 22B. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the specialization-related process (step S1113) in FIG.

First, in the first step S1421, it is determined whether or not the privilege type of the privilege type array [2] is other than "H". If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1423, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1425.

In step S1423, the value of the number of games to be added array [2] is set by lottery. In this lottery, the privilege types stored in the privilege type array [2] and the table shown in FIG. 24 (c) are used. For example, when the privilege type is "A", 5 is set with an 80% probability, 10 is set with a 10% probability, 15 is set with a 5% probability, and 20 is set with a 5% probability. Is set. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. In addition, when the privilege type is "L", 200 is set with a 100% probability, but for the value set with a 100% probability in this way, the value should be set without performing a lottery. You may. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1425.

In step S1425, the information stored in the privilege type array and the number of games to be added is shifted. Specifically, the information of the privilege type arrangements [1] to [6] is moved (shifted) to the privilege type arrangements [0] to [5], and the information of the number of games to be added [1] to [2] is transferred. Move (shift) to the array of the number of games to be added [0] to [1]. If there is a privilege type that follows with reference to the currently set scenario (FIG. 24 (a)), the privilege type following the privilege type array [6] is stored. After that, this specialization-related process is terminated.

In this specialization-related process, step S1425 may be executed before step S1421. In this case, the lottery result in step S1423 is set in the array of planned number of games to be added [1]. Further, in this configuration, the number of arrangements of the number of games to be added can be reduced.

First, in step S1501 executed first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is either the CZ state or the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1503, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1511.

In step S1503, it is determined whether or not the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) has been internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1505, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

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

In step S1511, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a special zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1513, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1513, it is determined whether or not the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) has been internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1515, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1D23, the scenario used during the specialization zone is set by lottery. In this lottery, the table of FIG. 24 (a) is used. In the table of FIG. 24A, scenario 1 is set with a probability of 50%, and the average number of games added when this scenario is set is 50. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. After this process, the process proceeds to step S1D25.

In step S1D25, the privilege types corresponding to the first 6 games of the set scenarios are read out and stored in order in the privilege type arrays [1] to [6]. After that, the process proceeds to step S1D27.

If any of the conditions is satisfied, the update process during specialization is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1E05. It should be noted that the condition of whether or not one of the above judgment conditions has been won is being specialized when the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won and one of the winning combinations is won. It is provided to end the update process. In this embodiment, if a player wins a single winning combination, the push order bell is always internally won. Therefore, it is determined only that the single winning combination is won without determining whether or not the push order bell is internally won. doing. Therefore, if the one-card combination is configured to win a prize other than the push order bell, whether or not the internally won condition device is the push order bell may be included in the determination condition.

Specifically, when the privilege types are stored in the privilege type arrays [3] to [6], one of them is changed (promoted) to another privilege type by lottery. For example, when the privilege type is "A", it is changed to "B" or "C" by lottery. If the privilege type is "B", it will be changed to "C" by lottery. If the privilege type is "X", it is changed to "A" by lottery, if it is the privilege type "Y", it is changed to "B" by lottery, and if it is the privilege type "Z".

<Main control unit 300 timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 33. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the timer interrupt process of the main control unit.

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

In step S201, the timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

In step S203, the WDT314 is periodically (this) so that the WDT interrupt does not occur when the count value of the WDT314 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) (so that a processing abnormality is not detected). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the cycle of interrupting the main control unit timer.

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

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

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

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

In the first sub-control unit 400, the command type included in the received output schedule information enables the determination of the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300, and is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the effect control content can be determined.

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

In step S215, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S205, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area are read out, and the presence or absence of errors related to medal insertion abnormality, medal payout abnormality, etc. is monitored, and if an error is detected, (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various 7-segment (SEG) displays are set according to the current gaming state.

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

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

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

<Processing of the first sub-control unit 400>
Next, the process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 34. Note that FIG. 34A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 34B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 34 (c) is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S313, the lamp control process is performed based on the process result of step S309. For example, if there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

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

In step S317, information output processing is performed in which a control command is set to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result of step S309.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 34 (b). This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output by the main control unit 300. In step S320 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

Next, the timer interrupt process of the first sub-control unit executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 34 (c). The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined with this timer interrupt as an opportunity.

If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3B07, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3B21.

In step S3B07, an additional effect is set, and the process proceeds to step S3B09.

In step S3B09, it is determined whether or not the life has decreased by referring to the information acquired in step S3A01 of FIG. 40. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3B11, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3B13.

In step S3B11, the life reduction effect is set, and the process proceeds to step S3B21.

In step S3B13, it is determined whether or not the privilege type has been promoted (see step S1E31 in FIG. 30) by referring to the information acquired in step S3A01 in FIG. 40. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3B15, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3B21.

In step S3B15, the privilege type promotion effect is set. Specifically, the image corresponding to the privilege type targeted for promotion is updated to the image corresponding to the privilege type after promotion. After that, the process proceeds to step S3B21.

In step S3B21, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the specialized effect update process ends.

<Processing of the second sub control unit 500>
Next, the process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 42. Note that FIG. 42A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 42B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 42C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 42D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub-control unit 500.

First, in step S401 of FIG. 42A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, the initialization process is first executed in step S401. In this initialization process, input / output port initial setting, initialization process of the storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

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

In step S405, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

In step S407, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 determines whether or not a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400.

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

In step S411, image control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S409. For example, if there is an image control command in the effect data read out in step S409, the image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control regarding a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 42 (d). When this image control process is completed, the process returns to step S403.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 42 (b). This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub-control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output by the first sub-control unit 400. In step S415 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

Next, the second sub-control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 42 (c). The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in the present embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined with this timer interrupt as an opportunity. Execute in the cycle of.

In step S417, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S403 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 42A, and the data is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

In step S419, the effect random value value update process and the like are performed.

Next, the image control process of step S411 in the main process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 42 (d). The figure is a diagram showing a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

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

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

In step S425, parameters are set based on the effect scenario configuration table, attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S421, the CPU 504 information on the image data constituting the display image (coordinate axis of the VRAM 518, image size). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), image superposition and transparency, etc.) are instructed to VDP516. The VDP 516 sets parameters according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

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

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

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

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

[Conditional addition]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, a conditional additional lottery is executed in the AT state. If this lottery is won, three conditions (hereinafter, first clear condition to third clear condition) are set along with the additional amount of AT remaining games (hereinafter, first clear condition to third clear condition) (step S1409 in FIG. 22A). When the condition of (clear) is satisfied (cleared), the set number of remaining AT games is added (step S1D03 in FIG. 29 (a)). In addition, an effect related to this is executed in the first sub-control unit 400 (step S3407 in FIG. 39 (a), step S3A35 in FIG. 40). Hereinafter, the operation when the conditional addition is won will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44. FIG. 43 is a timing chart showing an example of a case where the conditional addition lottery is won. FIG. 44 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 43.

In the example of FIG. 43, it is assumed that the first game ends with the conditional addition flag turned off in the AT state, the conditional device number 10 is internally won in the subsequent second game, and the conditional addition lottery is further won. (Step S1409 in FIG. 22A). FIG. 43 shows that the conditional device number 10 was internally won in the second game, and that the conditional addition flag is set to on by winning the conditional addition lottery. .. Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 10 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal winning of the condition device number 8 as the first clear condition, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as.

At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 44 (a), the effect image display device 157 of the condition device number 10 The operation navigation showing the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 displays an image showing that the conditional addition lottery has been won because the conditional addition flag is turned on (step S3407 in FIG. 39A). In FIG. 44A, as an example of this image, three circle TCs displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 are shown. Of these three circles TC, the lower left circle corresponds to the first clear condition, the middle upper circle corresponds to the second clear condition, and the lower right circle corresponds to the third clear condition. The initial state of these circles is set to white, and the part where the corresponding clear condition is satisfied is judged at the end of the game and changed to the color corresponding to the additional amount won in the conditional additional lottery (Fig.) Step S3A35 of 40). Specifically, when the additional amount is 10 games and 20 games, it changes to green, and when it is 30 games and 100 games, it changes to gold. That is, when all three round TCs turn green or all turn gold, all the first clearing conditions to the third clearing conditions are cleared, and the number of remaining AT games is added. At the start of the second game, all the circles are white because it has not been determined that each clearing condition is satisfied. The timing of determining the establishment of the clearing condition is not particularly limited, and may be determined before the reel is stopped, for example.

In this second game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of 5) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circle TCs changes to green as shown in FIG. 44 (b) (in this figure, the circle is changed to green. Green is indicated by diagonal cross-hatching).

In the third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won. FIG. 43 shows that the condition device number 9 was internally won in the third game. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 9 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 44 (c), the correct answer of the condition device number 9 in the effect image display device 157. The operation navigation showing the operation order (middle first stop) of is displayed. In the game of the third game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the second clear condition is satisfied, the upper middle circle of the three circle TCs changes as shown in FIG. 44 (d) (in this figure, the green color is an oblique line). (Shown by cross-hatching).

In the fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 8 is internally won. FIG. 43 shows that the condition device number 8 was internally won in the fourth game. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 8 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 44 (e), the correct answer of the condition device number 8 in the effect image display device 157. The operation navigation showing the operation order (first stop on the left) of is displayed. In the game of the fourth game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the first clear condition is satisfied, the lower left circle of the three circle TCs changes as shown in FIG. 44 (f) (in this figure, the green color is oblique). Line cross-hatched).

Further, when all three circle TCs turn green (clear all the first clear condition to the third clear condition), the three circle TCs blink as shown in FIG. 44 (g), and further, FIG. 44 (h). ), An effect prompting the user to press a predetermined button (for example, one of the stop buttons) is executed. Further, when the predetermined button is pressed, the three round TCs disappear as shown in FIG. 44 (i), the additional amount won by the conditional additional winning is displayed, and the number of remaining AT games is added. When this addition is made, the conditional addition flag is set to off (step S1D05 in FIG. 29A).

In the following fifth game, it is assumed that the conditional device number 10 is internally won and then the conditional additional lottery is newly won (step S1409 in FIG. 22A). FIG. 43 shows that the conditional device number 10 was internally won in the fifth game, and that the conditional addition flag was set to on again by winning the conditional addition lottery. There is. Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 30 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal winning of the condition device number 8 as the first clear condition, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 as the second clear condition, and the third clear condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as.

At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 44 (j), the effect image display device 157 of the condition device number 10 The operation navigation showing the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the conditional addition flag is turned on, three circles TC are displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 as in FIG. 44A. At the start of the fifth game, all the circles are white because it has not been determined that each clearing condition is satisfied.

In this fifth game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circle TCs changes to gold as shown in FIG. 44 (k) (in this figure, the circle is changed to gold). The gold color is shown by the hatching that goes down to the left).

Note that FIG. 43 shows the sixth to ninth games, but it is shown that the first clear condition and the second clear condition are not satisfied during this period. In the 9th game, the condition device number 10, which is the third clear condition, was internally elected again, but at this point, the third clear condition has already been cleared, and at least the 6th to 9th games have been cleared. During that time, the colors of the three round TCs do not change.

[Other configurations for conditional addition]
In the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44 described above, the number of remaining AT games is added when the first clear condition to the third clear condition (in the example of FIG. 43, the condition device numbers 8 to 10 are internally elected) are cleared. The configuration is adopted. Further, a privilege image (in the example of FIG. 44, all three green or gold circle TCs) corresponding to the given additional amount is prepared, and the above-mentioned first clearing conditions to the third are obtained for this privilege image. The part corresponding to the clear condition is set, and when any of the first clear condition to the third clear condition is cleared, the part corresponding to the cleared condition is displayed. With this configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by expecting an addition each time the first clear condition to the third clear condition are cleared. Further, as the clearing of the first clearing condition to the third clearing condition progresses, the privilege image is gradually displayed, so that the additional amount obtained can be estimated and the interest of the game can be improved.

In the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44, a configuration is described in which three clear conditions, a first clear condition to a third clear condition, are provided and these are associated with the three parts of the privilege image. Here, the configuration in which the privilege image is gradually displayed at different timings when the clear condition is satisfied is not limited to the above configuration, and the clear condition is associated with each of a plurality of parts of the privilege image. Just do it. Further, the timing of association is not limited to the timing at which the clear condition is set, and for example, it may be configured to determine which part is to be displayed at the timing when any of the clear conditions is satisfied. Further, the criteria for determining the determination are not particularly limited, and for example, a configuration in which the corresponding portion is randomly determined may be used.

In the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44, as the clearing condition corresponding to one part of the privilege image, a condition that is satisfied according to the winning internal winning combination is adopted, but the content of this clearing condition is described in the above example. Various conditions can be adopted without being limited to. For example, in FIGS. 43 and 44, a configuration in which the internal winning of the push order bell is a clear condition has been described, but a condition device different from the push order bell may be used as a clear condition for a part or all of the push order bells. In addition, it is not an internal winning combination but a condition that is satisfied by a winning combination or a reel stop mode, a condition that is established by the result of some lottery executed by the main control unit 300, a game such as the number of games and the winning history of the combination. It may be a condition that is satisfied by the history of, or a condition that is satisfied by the elapsed time in the game. Further, the conditions may be satisfied according to the operation conditions (operation contents) such as the operated operation means, the operation order and the operation timing, and the lottery result for each game (for a plurality of games) regardless of such an operation. It may be a condition that is satisfied by the combination of the lottery result for each game and the operation of the player. The operating means is not limited to the various operating means provided in the present embodiment, and for example, an operating means for directing may be used. By associating the clear condition with the operation condition, it is possible to give fun to the operation. Further, for example, after winning the conditional addition, the first clear condition is satisfied by the first internal winning of the conditional device number 8, and the second clear condition is satisfied by the second internal winning of the conditional device number 8. Each of the configurations is such that the third clear condition is satisfied by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 for the second time, or the first clear condition and the second clear condition are satisfied by the internal winning of the same condition device number. There may be common requirements among the clearing conditions corresponding to the parts.

For example, when all the clearing conditions are satisfied in one game regardless of the difference between multiple clearing conditions, or when the clearing conditions corresponding to each part are different but are satisfied at the same timing, or There may be cases where multiple clearing conditions are the same due to the lottery, but if at least there are cases where the clearing conditions are met at different times, show the player the action of gradually displaying the privilege image. Can be done.

Further, in the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44, the state in which the clear condition has been cleared is maintained as it is, but the cleared state is reset later, for example, by setting a valid period in the cleared state. Alternatively, another clear condition may be reset. Further, the clearing condition may be changed in the middle, such as setting a valid period for the clearing condition.

In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the number of remaining AT games is acquired when the conditional addition is cleared, but the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the number of remaining AT games is added when the condition is cleared, which is an advantageous privilege for the player ( It may be a configuration that can obtain a transition to an advantageous state, a longer period of an already set advantageous state, and the like). Further, the present invention is not limited to these benefits, and may be configured to notify or suggest information about the game console, such as a setting value of the game console or an internal gaming state. Furthermore, for example, when an environment for each user is provided on the game console, it may be image data or music data for customization, or an image that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal owned by the player. Information that is not related to the game, such as information such as music and music, may be notified. Further, these combinations may be used.

Further, the privilege is not limited to the configuration that can be always acquired when the condition is cleared, and there may be a case where the privilege cannot be acquired when the condition is cleared, such as a configuration in which the privilege can be acquired according to the set acquisition probability. Further, even if the conditional addition lottery is not won, the same effect as in the case of winning the lottery may be executed.

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

In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the determination process of the clear condition is interrupted when the zone shifts to the special zone after winning the conditional addition (restarts when the AT state is restored), but the configuration is not limited to this configuration. The determination of the clearing condition may be continued as it is when the game state is entered. Alternatively, it may be configured to give a privilege according to the clearing condition established when the game state shifts. Further, another conditional addition may be started again when the original gaming state is restored. Further, in the present embodiment, the conditional addition is completed once, but when it is completed, for example, a lottery is drawn to determine whether or not to continue, and the privilege according to the clearing condition is continuously given. May be good. Further, the conditional additional lottery may be configured to be executed at the start of AT, or may be configured to execute a new conditional additional lottery immediately after the privilege of the conditional additional lottery is obtained.

In the present embodiment, when the AT state ends (shifts to the normal state) without satisfying all the clearing conditions, the privilege obtained if all the clearing conditions are satisfied cannot be obtained. However, when the AT state ends, a privilege corresponding to the clearing condition that has been established halfway may be given. For example, if two of the three round TCs in FIG. 44 are gold, 10 games may be added (in this case, the number of remaining AT games is 10). And the three circle TCs disappear). When adopting this configuration, it is better that the benefits obtained when the clearing conditions are met halfway are less (disadvantageous to the player) than the benefits obtained when all the clearing conditions are met. preferable.

In the example of FIG. 44, an example in which the colors shown in FIGS. 45 (a) and 45 (b) are associated with the number of additional games that can be acquired has been described. Specifically, when the three round TCs have the same color, 10 or 20 games if it is green and 30 or 100 games if it is gold are added to the number of remaining AT games. In the example of FIG. 44, only the modes shown in FIGS. 45 (a) and 45 (b) were used, but for example, when different colors are included instead of all being the same color, the result is not added. (Addition failure) may occur. In the example of FIG. 45 (c), the lower left and lower right of the three circle TCs are green, and the upper middle is gold. When this privilege image is displayed, 20% There is a probability that the number of remaining AT games will be added by 10 games (80% probability of failure). In addition, a configuration may be configured in which a large reward is given when the three round TCs are in a specific color combination, and information such as setting suggestion may be included in addition to the addition. In the example of FIG. 45 (d), an example in which each of the three circle TCs has a different color is shown, and when this privilege image is displayed, the number of remaining AT games is added by 100 games, and the set value. Is suggested to be one of 456.

Further, the configuration may be such that the clearing conditions corresponding to each portion of the three round TCs are suggested. In the example of FIG. 45 (e), the part where the katakana "chi" is displayed suggests that the internal winning of the cherry is a clear condition, and the part where the katakana "su" is displayed is. , It is suggested that the internal winning of watermelon is a clear condition, and the part where the katakana "be" is displayed is the clear condition of the internal winning of the push order bell (or common bell). It suggests. In this example, the part where the katakana "be" is displayed is in the lower left, which also suggests that the internal winning of the left 1st bell is a clear condition. In this way, when suggesting the clearing condition, not only the notation but also the position may be suggested. Further, the portion where the katakana is not displayed may be used as a suggestion of some internal winning (for example, push order bell). In addition, the configuration may be such that a clear condition different from the actual clear condition is added to suggest. Furthermore, it is not limited to suggesting all clearing conditions, and may suggest some clearing conditions. In the example of FIG. 45 (e), the relationship between the clear condition and the corresponding portion is clarified, but the configuration may be such that only the clear condition is suggested and the corresponding portion is not displayed. In the configuration suggesting the clearing condition in this way, the player can be made to recognize the clearing condition, and for example, if the clearing condition can be satisfied, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of challenging it. Also, by clarifying the part corresponding to the clearing condition, it is possible to give fun such as aiming at the part to be displayed.

Further, the information regarding the content of the privilege may be suggested separately from the privilege image. In FIG. 45 (f), an example is shown in which displaying "reward 10G" under the three circles TC suggests that an additional 10 games are set as a privilege. Further, in FIG. 45 (g), an example is shown in which displaying "50%" under the three circles TC suggests that the probability of obtaining the privilege is 50%. In addition, the timing at which such a suggestion is made may be delayed and the timing may be indicated. FIG. 45 (h) shows an example suggesting that the indication regarding the content of the privilege is displayed after 5 games by displaying "remaining 5G" under the three circles TC. Further, the configuration may be such that information on the content of the privilege is suggested at the timing when a predetermined number of clear conditions are satisfied or when a specific condition among the clear conditions is satisfied. FIG. 45 (i) shows an example in which the same "reward 10G" as in FIG. 45 (f) is displayed at the timing when one of the clearing conditions is satisfied (one of the three round TCs changes). ..

Further, the privilege image is not limited to the three circle TCs shown in FIGS. 44 and 45 (a) to 45 (d), and various images can be used. For example, FIGS. 45 (j) to 45 (p) show an example in which a character is used as a privilege image.

First, in the examples of FIGS. 45 (j) to 45 (l), FIG. 45 (j) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege of acquiring an additional 10 games with a probability of 50%, and FIG. 45 (k) is 100%. It is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can acquire an additional 10 games with a probability, and FIG. 45 (l) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can acquire an additional 30 games with a 100% probability. These privilege images have a basic form (an image in which only the main character is displayed) in FIG. 45 (j). The main character indicates an addition of 10 games or more. The star marks on the upper left of FIG. 45 (k) or the upper left and upper right of FIG. 45 (l) are confirmed to be added if there is one star mark, and at least 30 games are added if there are two. It is composed. That is, the content of the privilege that differs depending on the number of star marks is displayed. In addition, if the part without the star mark is displayed first, it can be expected to be a more advantageous privilege. In this way, when the configuration has a common part in a plurality of privilege images, when this common part is displayed, the player is given a sense of expectation while guessing the content of the privilege to some extent. Can be entertained. In addition, this configuration is an example, and if there is a star mark on the left part, the probability will increase, and if there is a star mark on the right part, the number of additional games will increase, and the higher the display position of the star mark, the more The content of the privilege may change depending on the location of the star mark, such as obtaining an advantageous privilege. In addition, the privilege may be configured to differ depending on the color of the star mark.

In the example of FIGS. 45 (m) and 45 (n), FIG. 45 (m) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can acquire an additional 100 games with a 100% probability, and FIG. 45 (n) is an additional image with a 100% probability. It is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege which acquired 100 games and further suggests that the set value is one of 456. These privilege images are examples in which a princess character showing a privilege more advantageous than the basic form (an image in which only the main character is displayed) of FIG. 45 (j) is used. This princess character indicates that the addition of 100 games or more has been confirmed. Further, the Haniwa character displayed at the lower left of the privilege image in FIG. 45 (n) suggests that the set value is 456, and even if it is used in combination with the main character and others in FIG. 45 (j). Good.

In addition, although the middle part is common in FIGS. 45 (j) to (l) and 45 (m) to (n), the privilege image having the common part with other privilege images is described. May be configured so that the common part can be seen from the beginning. Further, the case where the common part is shown from the beginning and the case where the common part is not shown may be determined by lottery.

In addition, the image of the treasure box in FIG. 45 (o) suggests that the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 22 (a)) has been won. In this case, information about the game can be obtained from the privilege image. Further, the character image of the robot in FIG. 45 (p) is a privilege image from which data for customization can be acquired.

When a plurality of privilege images are used as shown in FIGS. 45 (j) to 45 (p), they are arranged in a preset area such as the frame shown by the cross hatching in FIG. 45 (q). It may be. Further, for such an area, a plurality of positions that can be arranged may be provided, and these positions may be appropriately selected and used, but the positions and the benefits to be obtained are not predicted so that the benefits to be obtained are not predicted. It is preferable that they are not related to. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 45 (j) to 45 (p), there is a background of the character, but the background may be configured so that nothing is displayed.

FIG. 46 is a diagram showing an example of the operation of the conditional addition lottery when the privilege images of FIGS. 45 (j) to 45 (p) are used.

FIG. 46A shows an example of the operation corresponding to the second to fourth games of FIG. 43. In this example, the first clear condition corresponds to the left part, the second clear condition corresponds to the middle part, and the third clear condition corresponds to the right part. In the example of FIG. 43, the third clear condition, the second clear condition, and the first clear condition are satisfied in this order. Therefore, in this case, each part of the privilege image is left, right, middle, and left as shown in FIG. 46 (a). It is displayed in order.

FIG. 46B shows an example in which the already satisfied clearing condition is satisfied again. In this example, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 (middle 1st bell) is the clear condition corresponding to the middle part of the privilege image. When the middle part of the privilege image is not displayed, the middle part is displayed by the internal winning of the middle 1st bell. Furthermore, although the middle 1st bell was internally elected, the middle part has already been displayed, so there is no new part to be displayed. Further, in this figure, it is shown that the left part that was not displayed is displayed by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 (left 1st bell) which is the clear condition corresponding to the left part.

FIG. 46 (c) shows an example in which the same condition device (here, cherry) is associated with each portion. In this example, by winning the cherry three times internally, the privilege images are displayed in order from the left. The part corresponding to the internal winning (clearing condition) of the 1st to 3rd cherries may be decided when setting the clearing condition, or is determined randomly or by lottery each time the clearing condition is satisfied. May be. In any configuration, it is sufficient that the clearing condition and the privilege image part are associated with each other.

FIG. 46 (d) is an example in the case of adopting a configuration in which the privilege changes in the middle. In this example, after the middle 1st bell internal winning set as the clear condition corresponding to the middle part is established and the middle part is displayed, the strong cherry is internally won and the number of additional games increases (privileges change). , It is shown that the privilege image used by this has changed. In addition, when changing the privilege image, the mode is not limited to the mode in which the character is replaced as in this example, and the mode in which an image such as the star mark described in FIGS. 45 (k) and 45 (l) is added may be added.

FIG. 46 (e) is an example in the case where the clear condition corresponding to the operation order is used. In this example, when the common bell is internally won, the right part of the privilege image is displayed by pressing forward, and when the common bell is internally won, the left part of the privilege image is displayed by pressing backward. In this configuration, the part to be displayed can be determined by the operation. Therefore, by using a privilege image in which the information obtained differs depending on the displayed portion, the player can select and display the information desired to be acquired. In the privilege image of FIG. 46 (e), the "G addition" on the right side recognizes that the number of additional games can be obtained, and the "50" on the left side recognizes the number related to the privilege. In this example, the information about the acquisition of the number of additional games is obtained first, but the number regarding the privilege can be displayed first. In addition to "G addition" which shows information that can acquire the number of additional games as such a privilege image, "set addition" as a privilege when the number of AT sets is adopted, and the period of the AT state is the number of games. "Add navigation" as a privilege when managing by the number of times of navigation, "Acquire sheets" as a privilege when managing the AT state period not by the number of games but by the number of images that can be acquired, some points are used By using a display such as "pt acquisition" as a privilege in the case, the content of the privilege that can be acquired can be inferred. In addition, for example, only numbers (only the left part in FIG. 46E) may be displayed, and the right part may be displayed so that the content of the privilege can be grasped. Further, the displayed portion of these privilege images may not be selected according to the operation of the player. For example, in the case of a configuration in which the AT state is managed using two parameters of the number of navigations and the number of sheets that can be acquired, either of the above-mentioned "addition of navigation" or "acquisition of sheets" can be used. That is, the management configuration of the AT state is not limited, and an appropriate display can be adopted according to the management configuration of the AT state.

The privilege image has been described above with an example. In addition, if a part of the different privilege images has a common configuration, it is not possible to determine which privilege image will be displayed when this part is only displayed. May increase expectations for. Further, in the example of FIG. 44, although the three circle TCs are grouped together, each portion of the privilege image may be arranged apart in the display area of the effect image display device 157. In addition, a part of the privilege image may be displayed from the beginning. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 43 and 44, the state in which none of the clearing conditions is satisfied can be grasped by the fact that the three circles TC are white. May be configured so that nothing is displayed (the background image is displayed as it is).

[About aiming production during CZ]
In the present embodiment, if the AT lottery is won during CZ, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired (step S1305 in FIG. 21). Regarding these rights, there is a condition device that shifts to the AT state regardless of the stop mode when an internal win is made, but when an internal win is made to these condition devices, a stop operation is urged to win a specific role. The aiming effect is executed (step S3307 in FIG. 38). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the case where the BAR right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device number 2 is a condition device for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 28). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 47, the operation when the condition device number 2 is internally won in the state where the BAR right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 47A shows that the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that encourages this stop operation.

According to this aiming effect, the right reel 112 is first aimed at the BAR symbol and the stop operation is performed. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 47 (b), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 47 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Subsequently, when the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 are stopped by aiming at the BAR symbol, the BAR symbol is within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) based on the position on the winning line. It is necessary to perform a stop operation at a certain timing. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 at the timing when the range from No. 1 (watermelon symbol) to No. 5 (BAR symbol) is on the winning line. Further, it is necessary to stop the left reel 110 at the timing when the range from No. 19 (blank 1 symbol) and No. 0 (bell symbol) to No. 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. FIG. 47 (d) shows the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 with four BAR symbols, and FIG. 47 (e) shows the BAR symbols on the winning line due to the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown in. Further, in FIG. 47 (f), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 47 (g), the BAR symbol is a winning line due to the left third stop. The stopped state is shown above.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in a state of winning the replay role 10 (BAR replay). At this time, as shown in FIG. 47 (h), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the state shifts to the AT state. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described, but when the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, if the operation timing is explained for each reel, the replay combination 10 is set. You can win a prize. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the re-game combination 2 is won, and the re-game combination 10 is not won.

Even if the right first stop is made, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the replaying combination 10 will not be won, and other winning combination (here, replaying combination 1, 3 to 9) The symbols that make up the above will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to intentionally stop aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and have the re-game combination 6 win a prize.

Next, the case where the peach 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are the condition devices for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C03 of FIG. 28). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 48, the operation when the condition device number 3 is internally won in the state where the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 48A shows that the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 3 is internally won, the BAR symbol cannot be stopped on the winning line regardless of the stop operation. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the player performs the stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the right reel 112 as in the example of FIG. 47.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. Of these, the stop operation at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is to stop the seven 2 symbol at the winning line. It is also the timing of (all symbols are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 48B, the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timings for stopping the BAR symbol, the timing when the BAR symbol is in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is also the timing for stopping the Seven 2 symbol, so aim for the BAR symbol. As a result, the Seven 2 symbol may stop. FIG. 48 (c) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 48 (d), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the effect effect is changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though he aimed at the BAR symbol, but this change knows the symbol that should be aimed originally. As a result, it is possible to be convinced that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Subsequently, the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 are stopped by aiming at the Seven 2 symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range (within the pull-in range) of the four symbols from the position where the Seven 2 symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 at the timing when the range from the number 0 (cherry symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) is on the winning line. Further, a stop operation is required at the timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 48 (e), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols in the middle reel 111 is shown by 4 Seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. 48 (f), the 7 2 symbols are won by the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown on the line. Further, in FIG. 48 (g), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by four Seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. 48 (h), the Seven 2 symbols are shown by the left third stop. The state of being stopped is shown on the winning line.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player wins the replay role 16 (peach 7 replay). As a result, the aiming effect in this case is an effect that encourages a stop operation for winning the replaying combination 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 48 (i), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the state shifts to the AT state. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described, but when the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, if the operation timing is explained for each reel, the replay combination 16 is set. You can win a prize. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the re-game combination 2 is won, and the re-game combination 16 is not won.

Even if the right first stop is made, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-game combination 16 will not be won, and other roles that can be won (here, re-game combinations 1, 3 to 6, The symbols constituting 11 to 13) will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to intentionally stop aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and have the re-game combination 6 win a prize.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 49, the operation when the condition device number 4 is internally won in the state where the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 49A shows that the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 4 is internally won, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line at the first right stop.

It is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped by aiming at the BAR symbol according to this aiming effect. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 49B, the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 49 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Regarding the subsequent middle second stop, the stop operation will be performed aiming at the BAR symbol, but since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, the BAR symbol is irrespective of the stop operation on the middle reel 111. Cannot be stopped on the winning line. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the player performs the stop operation aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111 as in the example of FIG. 47.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 at the timing when the range from No. 1 (watermelon symbol) to No. 5 (BAR symbol) is on the winning line. Of these, the timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the seven 2 symbol at the winning line. (All symbols are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 49 (d), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As described above, among the timings for stopping the BAR symbols, the timing when the BAR symbols are in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the middle reel 111 is also the timing for stopping the Seven 2 symbols, so aim for the BAR symbols. As a result, the Seven 2 symbol may stop. FIG. 49 (e) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the middle second stop.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 49 (f), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the effect effect is changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though he aimed at the BAR symbol. In particular, unlike the example of FIG. 48, since the stop mode of the right first stop is the same as that of the example of FIG. 1, there is a possibility that the feeling of discomfort becomes greater. As a result, it is possible to be convinced that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Subsequently, the left reel 110 will be stopped by aiming at the Seven 2 symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at a timing within the range (within the pull-in range) of the four symbols from the position where the Seven 2 symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, a stop operation is required at the timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. Of these, the timing at which the range from number 0 (bell symbol) to number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbol at the winning line (in any case). The design of is also within the pull-in range). In FIG. 49 (g), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by 4 Seven 2 symbols. However, here, the Seven 2 symbol does not stop on the winning line (Neither of the replaying roles 14 and 15 remaining as candidates for the winning combination stops on the left reel 110), and the Seven 1 symbol does not stop. And BAR symbols will be stopped preferentially. As described above, among the timings for stopping the Seven 2 symbols, the timing when the Seven 2 symbols are in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbols. As a result, the BAR symbol may stop when aiming at. FIG. 49 (h) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the left third stop. In this case, the Seven 2 symbols are aligned downward to the right.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in a state of winning the replay role 15 (peach 7 replay). As a result, the aiming effect in this case is an effect that encourages a stop operation for winning the replaying combination 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 49 (i), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the state shifts to the AT state. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

In the above example, the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left has been described, but when the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle, and left, if the operation timing is explained for each reel, the replay combination 15 is set. You can win a prize. However, if the second stop operation is for the left reel 110, when the BAR symbol stops on the winning line, both the replay combinations 10 and 15 are in a tempered state (at this point, the condition device number 2, condition device number 2, It is possible to narrow down to any of 4). In this case, the BAR symbol may be aimed at the middle reel 111 without changing the targeting effect symbol to stop the Seven 2 symbol, or the target symbol may be changed to the Seven 2 symbol. In the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, the re-game combination 2 is won, and the re-game combination 15 is not.

Even if the right first stop is made, if the operation operation at the above timing fails, the re-game combination 15 will not be won, and other roles that can be won (here, the re-game combination 1, 3 to The symbols constituting 7, 9, 14) will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped. In the present embodiment, it is also possible to intentionally stop aiming at the Seven 1 symbol and have the re-game combination 6 win a prize.

In the explanation of FIGS. 47 to 49, the aiming effect when the AT lottery is won (when the BAR right and the peach 7 right are acquired) has been described, but the aiming effect can be achieved even when the AT lottery is not won. It may be executed (step S3317 in FIG. 38). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 50, an example of the operation when the condition device number 1 is internally won in the state where the AT lottery is not won will be described.

FIG. 50A shows that the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that a stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 1 is internally won, and the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line for the right first stop and the middle second stop.

It is assumed that the right reel 112 is stopped by aiming at the BAR symbol according to this aiming effect. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 50B, the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 50 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Subsequently, when the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111, the BAR symbol is stopped at a timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position on the winning line as a reference. You need to do something. In FIG. 50 (d), the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 50 (e), the BAR symbols are on the winning line due to the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown in.

Subsequently, the left reel 110 will be stopped by aiming at the BAR symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 50 (f), the pull-in range of the first to fourth symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by four seven 2 symbols. However, here, only the replay combination 8 remains as a candidate for the winning combination, and only the replay symbol is stopped on the left reel 110. FIG. 50 (g) shows a state in which the replay symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the left third stop.

If the operation is performed at a timing other than the above, the symbols constituting the other winning combinations will be stopped. At this time, the Seven 1 symbol, the Seven 2 symbol, and the BAR symbol are preferentially stopped, but the re-game combination 6, 10, 15, and 16 are not won in the condition device number 1. Therefore, even if the Seven 1 symbol is aimed at, the re-game combination 6 cannot be won.

When the condition device number 1 is internally won, even if the stop operation is performed according to the aiming effect, none of the re-game combinations 10, 15 and 16 that are won at the time of AT winning will be won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 50 (h), the effect image display device 157 displays a "sorry" message notifying that the AT state is not entered.

[Other configurations for aiming production in CZ]
As described in the examples of FIGS. 47 to 50, in the present embodiment, it is possible to lead to a prize for a specific role while changing the target symbol on the way, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous to win the re-game combination 16 and the re-game combination 15 in FIGS. 48 and 49 than to win the re-game combination 10 in FIG. 47 (AT state). The number of games remaining in the initial AT is large, FIG. 20 (d)). Although it is not necessary to adopt a configuration having a difference in the degree of advantage in this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by adopting a configuration that is more advantageous when the target symbol is changed. It should be noted that the configuration may be more disadvantageous when the target design is changed.

In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, the BAR symbol is aimed at and the effect is changed at the timing when the Seven 2 symbol that you really want to stop stops, but if the Seven 2 symbol does not stop here, May continue as it is without changing the target effect. In particular, in the present embodiment, regardless of the stop mode, the seven 2 symbol does not stop because the configuration shifts from the next game to the AT state when the condition device corresponding to the acquired right is internally elected. You may execute the effect suggesting the transition to the AT state after continuing the effect as it is without changing the effect aimed at. Further, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a failure effect indicating that the target symbol has not stopped may be performed. In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, the target symbol is changed, but there may be a case where the effect of aiming at the Seven 2 symbol is executed from the beginning and the target symbol is not changed.

In addition, regarding the timing of change in the target effect, a symbol different from the symbol shown by the target effect (Seven 2 symbol in FIGS. 48 and 49) is set to the target position (middle in FIG. 48 and 49) by the stop operation. It may be the moment when it is confirmed that it will be stopped, or it may be after the corresponding reel has stopped. In particular, depending on the reel symbol arrangement and the timing of pressing, a configuration that makes it easier to grasp the stop symbol may be adopted, and for such a configuration, it is preferable to change the target effect after the reel is stopped. In addition, depending on the player, it is possible that the player operates the game by inertia and does not notice that the target symbol has been changed, so it freezes along with the change of the target symbol so that it is easy to notice that the target symbol has changed. May be configured to execute.

Further, as described with reference to FIGS. 47 and 50, the condition device number 2 can win the re-game combination 10 when the player wins the inside, while the condition device number 1 wins the re-game combination 10 when the player wins the inside. Although there is nothing to do, the winning combination (replaying combination 8 in FIG. 50), which is expected to win the replaying combination 10 halfway, is configured to win the prize. On the other hand, in the condition device numbers 3 and 4 described with reference to FIGS. 48 and 49, it is possible to win the replay games 15 and 16, respectively, but for these roles, a condition device for expecting a prize is provided. Not done. That is, it can be grasped that the AT winning (acquisition of 7 peach rights) is confirmed when the target symbol is changed in the aiming production. Not limited to this configuration, the replaying combinations 15 and 16 may also be configured to be provided with a condition device for expecting a prize for these combinations.

Further, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other, but even if they are not adjacent to each other, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped among the stop timings aimed at the BAR symbol. Should be included. For example, in the configuration in which the Seven 2 symbol is arranged above the BAR symbol in FIG. 5, the Seven 2 symbol is less likely to stop when aiming at the BAR symbol as the distance increases, but when the Seven 2 symbol stops, Can surprise the player because the amount of pulling in the reel is large. Further, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other on the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, and there is a stop timing capable of stopping both of them. However, regarding the operation of FIG. 48, these reels are used. In, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other. Even with this configuration, the operation described with reference to FIG. 48 is established. In this way, at least one reel capable of stopping both the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol (for example, the right reel 112 in FIG. 48) needs to be provided, and the stop operation is performed on this reel. The configuration may be such that the aiming effect is changed at the timing. Further, as for the operation of FIG. 49, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other on the right reel 112.

In the examples of FIGS. 47 to 50, the configuration using the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol has been described, but the symbols used are not limited to this. Further, the winning combination is not limited to the replaying combination, and various combinations can be used. Further, in this example, the operation of the target effect is configured to be performed when notifying the transition to the AT state, but the application scene of this operation is not limited to this example. For example, in the present embodiment, if the condition device numbers 2 to 4 are internally won in the special zone, the number of remaining AT games is added, but the effect aimed at when the condition device is internally won is executed. It may be configured.

Here, an example in which the configuration of the target effect is combined with the bonus will be described with reference to FIG. 51. In this example, a configuration is adopted in which a big bonus is won with "7-7-7" and a regular bonus is won with "7-7-BAR". In this configuration, when the bonus is determined, as shown in FIG. 51 (a), a display in which both a big bonus and a regular bonus are possible is executed until all reels are stopped. Here, if 7 symbols stop on the upper stage of the left reel, the big bonus is confirmed (1st probability). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), the display of the BAR symbol displayed on the screen is erased at the stage when the first probability is reached, and the big bonus confirmation is announced. Also, for example, when the big bonus is established, by performing the stop operation when the 7 symbols are located in the upper left row, the 7 symbols are stopped in the upper left row and the big bonus is confirmed, while outside the display frame. If there are 7 symbols, the 7 symbols will be drawn to the middle left, and the big bonus will not be confirmed. By performing a specific operation (pressing bitter, etc.) on any of the reels, the internal winning combination will be established. In the case of a specification capable of determining the above, the instruction of the target symbol may be changed as in the present embodiment by performing the operation.

[About the operation when shifting to the specialized zone (up to the production mode setting)]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the number of specialized zone sets may be added by lottery in the AT state (step S1415 in FIG. 22), and the number of specialized zone sets becomes 0 when the number of remaining AT games becomes 0. If is greater than 0, the zone shifts to the specialized zone (Yes in step S1D09 of FIG. 9 (F)). In addition, an effect related to the special zone is executed in the first sub-control unit 400 (Yes in step S3A03 in FIG. 39 (b)). Hereinafter, an example of the operation when the zone is shifted to the specialized zone will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 52 to 59. FIG. 52 is a timing chart showing an example of the transition to the specialized zone. 53 to 59 are diagrams showing an example of operation according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 52.

In the example of FIG. 52, the first game is completed when the number of remaining AT games in the AT state is 1 and the number of specialized zone sets is larger than 0. In the following second game, the effect of ending the AT state is executed (step S3407 in FIG. 39), and when all the reels are stopped and the game ends without adding the number of remaining AT games, the game state is special. The special zone is set to the conversion zone and the special zone initial setting process is executed (step S1D15 in FIG. 29, FIG. 29 (b)). In FIG. 52, it is shown that the transition from the AT state to the specialized zone was performed in the second game.

In this example, it is assumed that scenario 1 is set in this special zone initial setting process (step S1D23 in FIG. 29 (b)). When the scenario is set, the first six privilege types defined in this scenario are stored in the privilege type arrays [1] to [6] (step S1D25 in FIG. 29B). FIG. 53A shows a privilege type array in which privilege types are stored by this processing. Further, the value of the planned number of games to be added array [1] is set based on the privilege type (“A” in this case) stored in the privilege type array [1] (step S1D27 in FIG. 29 (b)). FIG. 53 (b) shows that 5 is set in the array of planned number of games to be added [1] by this process. In addition, the life value is initialized to 3. FIG. 52 shows that the life value is set to 3 at the end of the second game. Further, information regarding these specialized zones is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). Upon receiving this information, the first sub-control unit 400 executes the effect mode selection effect (step S3A09 in FIG. 40). FIG. 54 (a1) shows the state of the arrangement shown in FIG. 53 (b), and FIGS. 54 (a2) and 54 (a3) show an example of the effect mode selection effect executed at this time.

During the execution of the effect mode selection effect, the effect mode A and the effect mode B are switched every 3 seconds (step S3A15 in FIG. 40), and the effect mode indicated by the effect mode selection effect is switched accordingly (FIG. 54 (a2). ) (A3)). At this time, when the effect button 150 is operated, the special zone start effect (FIGS. 54 (b2) (b3)) is executed, and the effect mode set at that time is confirmed (step S3A15 in FIG. 40 is not executed). .. The effect mode is determined even when some operation other than the effect button 150 is performed, but in this case, the special zone start effect is not executed (Yes in step S3A11 of FIG. 40). When the effect mode is confirmed here, the effect in the special zone is executed accordingly. In the special zone, the number of additional AT remaining games acquired and the life value are displayed.

[Operation example in specialized zone (1)]
Hereinafter, the operation when the effect mode A is selected will be described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 59. First, FIG. 54 (b2) shows an example of the special zone start effect when the effect mode A is set. Here, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "5G" corresponding to 5 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are displayed. It is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen surrounded by a frame, and the start character is displayed in the center. Although the state of the array at this time is shown in FIG. 54 (b1), the state of the array here is the same as the state shown in FIG. 54 (a1).

In the following third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 11 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 52 shows that the condition device number 11 was internally elected in the third game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “A”, see FIG. 54 (b1)) stored in the privilege type array [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 10 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. FIG. 53 (c) shows that 10 is set in the array of planned number of games to be added [2] by this process from the state shown in FIG. 53 (b). Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). FIG. 53 (d) shows that the contents of the array shown in FIG. 53 (c) are shifted to the left. In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, "C") that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 11, information indicating only the stop button (here, the middle stop button 138) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the middle first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and the display based on the privilege type array and the number of games scheduled to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35). Yes) in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b). FIG. 54 (c1) shows the state of the array shown in FIG. 53 (d). Further, in FIG. 54 (c2), it is shown that the characters "? 1?" Are displayed in a state surrounded by a frame as an operation navigation indicating only the middle first stop in the lower part of the screen. In addition, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [0] and the "5G" corresponding to 5 stored in the planned number of games array [0] to be added on it. It is shown that the characters are displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "10G" corresponding to 10 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 54 (c2), the contents displayed on the left side of the screen (privilege type array [0], number of games to be added [0]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the game. The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this third game, it is assumed that the players can be operated in the order of pressing the correct answers, and the small winning combination 6 is won and 8 cards are paid out. FIG. 52 shows that eight cards were paid out in the third game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game. Here, since the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is "A" and the small winning combination 6 is won, the value stored in the number of games to be added array [0] is the number of remaining AT games. It is added (step S1E07 in FIG. 30). FIG. 52 shows that the number of remaining AT games is added to 5 in the third game.

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an additional effect is set in the specialized effect update process (step S3B07 in FIG. 41). In FIG. 55 (d2), the characters "GET 8 cars" indicating that 8 cards have been paid out by the additional effect and the characters "+ 5G" indicating that the number of remaining AT games is 5 are framed. It is shown that it is displayed on the left side of the screen in a state surrounded by. Further, in FIG. 55 (e2), the frame on the left side of the screen displayed in FIG. 55 (d2) is erased (for example, suddenly disappears, fades out of the screen, and the same applies to the following example). It is shown that the characters "acquisition 5G" indicating the value of the number of remaining AT games in the above are displayed on the right side of the screen. Note that FIGS. 55 (d1) and 55 (e1) show the state of the array when FIGS. 55 (d2) and (e2) are displayed, and the state of the array here is shown in FIG. 54 (c1). It is the same as the state shown in.

In the following fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 10 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 52 shows that the condition device number 10 was internally won in the fourth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “X”, see FIG. 55 (e1)) stored in the privilege type array [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 5 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, “X”) that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored. FIG. 55 (f1) shows the state of the array after the above processing is performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 10, information indicating only the stop button (here, the middle stop button 138) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the middle first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and the display based on the privilege type array and the number of games scheduled to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35). Yes) in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b). In FIG. 55 (f2), it is shown that the characters "? 1?" Are displayed in a state surrounded by a frame as an operation navigation indicating only the middle first stop in the lower part of the screen.

It is shown that the characters are displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "bomb" corresponding to the privilege type "X" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "5G" corresponding to 5 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 55 (f2), the contents displayed on the left side of the screen (privilege type array [0], number of games to be added [0]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the game. The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this fourth game, it is assumed that although the player follows the half-navigation, he cannot operate in the correct push order and wins a prize. FIG. 52 shows that one payout was made in the fourth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and FIG. 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game, but here, the privilege types stored in the privilege type array [0] are executed. Is "A" and one card is won, so that the value stored in the number of games to be added [0] is not added to the number of remaining AT games (Yes in step S1E03 in FIG. 30). ). FIG. 52 shows that the number of remaining AT games in the fourth game is the same as that in the third game (no addition).

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, the effect is set by the specialized effect update process, and as shown in FIG. 56 (g2), the main character who looks disappointed because there is no addition is displayed ( Step S3B21 in FIG. 41). Note that FIG. 56 (g1) shows the state of the array when FIG. 56 (g2) is displayed, but the state of the array here is the same as the state shown in FIG. 55 (f1). is there.

In the following fifth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 8 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 52 shows that the condition device number 8 was internally won in the fifth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “A”, see FIG. 56 (g1)) stored in the privilege type array [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 10 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, “H”) that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored. FIG. 56 (h1) shows the state of the array after the above processing is performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 8, information indicating only the stop button (here, the left stop button 137) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and a display based on the privilege type array and the scheduled number of games to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35). Yes) in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b). In FIG. 56 (h2), it is shown that the characters "1 ??" are displayed in a state surrounded by a frame as an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop in the lower part of the screen.

The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this fifth game, it is assumed that the players can be operated in the order of pressing the correct answers, and the small winning combination 6 is won and 8 cards are paid out. FIG. 52 shows that eight cards were paid out in the fifth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game. Here, since the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is "X" and the small winning combination 6 is won, the value stored in the number of games to be added array [0] is the number of remaining AT games. Although they are added, the life value is subtracted by 1 (step S1E07, step S1E43 in FIG. 30). FIG. 52 shows that the number of remaining AT games is added to 10 in the fifth game, and the life value is subtracted by 1 to become 2.

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an additional effect and a life reduction effect are set in the specialized effect update process (steps S3B07 and S3B11 in FIG. 41). In FIG. 56 (i2), the characters "GET 8 cars" indicating that 8 cards have been paid out by the additional effect and the characters "+ 5G" indicating that the number of remaining AT games is 5 are framed.

In the following sixth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 52 shows that the condition device number 9 was internally won in the sixth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “B”, see FIG. 57 (j1)) stored in the privilege type arrangement [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 15 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, “A”) that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored. FIG. 57 (k1) shows the state of the array after the above processing is performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 9, information indicating only the stop button (here, the left stop button 137) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and a display based on the privilege type array and the scheduled number of games to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35).

The state is the same as the state shown in FIG. 57 (k1).

In the following 7th game, it is assumed that no internal winning is made to any of the condition devices at the start of the game (the internal winning is lost). FIG. 52 shows that none of the conditional devices was internally elected in the seventh game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “X”, see FIG. 58 (m1)) stored in the privilege type array [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 10 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, "Y") that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored. FIG. 58 (n1) shows the state of the array after the above processing is performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (steps S1121 and 25 in FIG. 16) is executed, but since the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is not internally won here, the instruction information is input. Not set (No in step S1513 of FIG. 25).

The sequence information described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). Upon receiving this information, the first sub-control unit 400 executes the display based on the privilege type array and the number of games to be added (Yes in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b)). In FIG. 58 (n2), the image of the “treasure box” corresponding to the privilege type “B” stored in the privilege type array [0] and the 15 stored in the planned number of games array [0] to be added on the image correspond to It is shown that the characters "15G" are displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "bomb" corresponding to the privilege type "X" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "10G" corresponding to 10 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 58 (n2), the contents displayed on the left side of the screen (privilege type array [0], number of games to be added [0]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the game. The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this seventh game, no prize is won in any of the roles. FIG. 52 shows that there is no payout (0 cards) in the 7th game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and FIG. 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game, but here, the privilege types stored in the privilege type array [0] are executed. Is "B" and the player has won the game internally (the condition device has not won the game internally). Therefore, the value stored in the number of games to be added [0] may be added to the number of remaining AT games. No (Yes in step S1E03 of FIG. 30). FIG. 52 shows that the number of remaining AT games in the 7th game is the same as that in the 6th game (no addition).

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, the effect is set by the specialized effect update process, and as shown in FIG. 58 (o2), the main character who looks disappointed because there is no addition is displayed ( Step S3B21 in FIG. 41). Note that FIG. 58 (o1) shows the state of the array when FIG. 58 (o2) is displayed, but the state of the array here is the same as the state shown in FIG. 58 (n1). is there.

In the following eighth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 52 shows that the condition device number 9 was internally won in the eighth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. Then, at this point, the value of the planned number of games to be added [2] is set by lottery based on the privilege type (here, “C”, see FIG. 58 (o1)) stored in the privilege type array [2]. (Step S1423 of FIG. 22B). Here, it is assumed that 15 is set as the value of the array of the number of games to be added [2]. Further, the privilege type arrangement and the number of games to be added are shifted (step S1425 in FIG. 22B). In the privilege type array [6], the privilege type (here, “A”) that follows the shift with reference to the scenario is stored. FIG. 59 (p1) shows the state of the array after the above processing is performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 9, information indicating only the stop button (here, the left stop button 137) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and a display based on the privilege type array and the scheduled number of games to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35). Yes) in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b). In FIG. 59 (p2), it is shown that the characters "1 ??" are displayed in a state surrounded by a frame as an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop in the lower part of the screen. In addition, the image of the "bomb" corresponding to the privilege type "X" stored in the privilege type array [0] and the "10G" corresponding to 10 stored in the planned number of games array [0] to be added on it. It is shown that the characters are displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "C" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "15G" corresponding to 15 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 59 (p2), the contents displayed on the left side of the screen (privilege type array [0], number of games to be added [0]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the game. The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this eighth game, it is assumed that one player cannot be operated in the correct push order and wins a prize (either when the half navigation is followed or when the half navigation is not followed). FIG. 52 shows that one payout was made in the eighth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game. Here, since the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is "X" and one card is won, the value stored in the number of games to be added array [0] is the number of remaining AT games. It is not added and the life value is maintained without being subtracted (Yes, step S1E07 and step S1E43 are not executed in step S1E03 of FIG. 30). FIG. 52 shows that the number of AT remaining games and the life value of the eighth game are the same as those of the seventh game.

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, the effect is set by the specialized effect update process, and as shown in FIGS. 59 (q2) and 59 (r2), the pattern of the "bomb" rolls off the screen. Is displayed (step S3B21 in FIG. 41). Note that FIG. 59 (q1) (r1) shows the state of the array when FIGS. 59 (q2) and (r2) are displayed, and the state of the array here is shown in FIG. 59 (p1). It is the same as the state shown in.

[Operation example in specialized zone (2)]
Hereinafter, an example of operation when the effect mode A is selected will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 60 and 61. FIG. 60 is a timing chart showing an example in the specialized zone. FIG. 61 is a diagram showing an example of operation when the timing chart shown in FIG. 60 is followed. Here, the explanation will be given from the start of the fourth game.

In the fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 10 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 60 shows that the condition device number 10 was internally won in the fifth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. FIG. 61 (s1) shows the state of the array after the specialization-related processing has been performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (step S1121 and FIG. 25 in FIG. 16) is executed. Here, since the game state is the special zone and the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won, half navigation is set as instruction information. Specifically, out of the correct pressing order of the internally elected condition device 10, information indicating only the stop button (here, the middle stop button 138) that is the target of the first stop is set as instruction information.

The sequence information and instruction information described above are transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an operation navigation indicating only the middle first stop is set (step S3005 in FIG. 35), and the display based on the privilege type array and the number of games scheduled to be added is executed (step S3005 in FIG. 35). Yes) in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b). However, since the value is not stored in the array of the number of games to be added [0] (it is not set in the case of the privilege type "H", there is no addition), this game is based on the array of the number of games to be added [0]. No display is made. In FIG. 61 (s2), it is shown that the characters "? 1?" Are displayed in a state surrounded by a frame as an operation navigation indicating only the left first stop in the lower part of the screen. Further, it is shown that the image of the "princess" corresponding to the privilege type "H" stored in the privilege type array [0] is displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "5G" corresponding to 5 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 61 (s2), the content (privilege type array [0]) displayed on the left side of the screen indicates the type of privilege and the number of games to be added in the game, and is in the upper right frame of the screen. The contents displayed in (the privilege type array [1], the number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this fourth game, it is assumed that the players can be operated in the order of pressing the correct answers, and the small winning combination 6 is won and 8 cards are paid out. FIG. 60 shows that eight cards were paid out in the fourth game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game. Here, since the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is "H" and the small winning combination 6 is won, the life value is added by 1 (step S1E25 in FIG. 30). FIG. 60 shows that the life value is added by 1 to become 2 in the fourth game.

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, a life recovery effect is set in the specialized effect update process (step S3B03 in FIG. 41). In FIG. 61 (t2), it is shown that the smiling “princess” character is displayed on the left side of the screen due to the life recovery effect. Further, in FIG. 61 (u2), the image on the left side of the screen displayed in FIG. 61 (t2) is erased, and the characters “acquired 175G” indicating the value of the number of remaining AT games at the present time and the characters after addition are added. It is shown that the characters indicating the life value are displayed on the right side of the screen. Note that FIGS. 61 (t1) and 61 (u1) show the state of the array when FIGS. 61 (t2) and (u2) are displayed, respectively, and the state of the array here is shown in FIG. 61 (s1). ) Is the same as the state shown.

In the example of FIG. 60, it is shown that the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] in the ninth game is "L". This privilege type is the privilege type set in the last game of the scenario, and 200 AT remaining games are added regardless of the result of the game, and the special zone ends (Yes in step S1E01 in FIG. 30). .. FIG. 60 shows that the number of remaining AT games is 200 in the ninth game, and the special zone shifts to the AT state.

[Operation example in specialized zone (3)]
Hereinafter, an example of the operation when the effect mode A is selected will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 62 and 63. FIG. 62 is a timing chart showing an example in the special zone. FIG. 63 is a diagram showing an example of operation when the timing chart shown in FIG. 62 is followed. Here, the explanation will be given from the start of the second game.

In the second game, it is assumed that the condition device number 5 is internally won at the start of the game. FIG. 62 shows that the condition device number 5 was internally won in the second game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, specialization-related processing (step S1113 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 22B) is executed at the start of the game. FIG. 63 (v1) shows the state of the array after the specialization-related processing has been performed.

Further, at the start of the game, the instruction information setting process (steps S1121 and 25 in FIG. 16) is executed, but since the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is not internally won here, the instruction information is input. Not set (No in step S1513 of FIG. 25).

The sequence information described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as an internal winning command (step S1041 in FIG. 14). Upon receiving this information, the first sub-control unit 400 executes the display based on the privilege type array and the number of games to be added (Yes in step S3411 of FIG. 39 (b)). In FIG. 63 (v2), the image of the “bomb” corresponding to the privilege type “X” stored in the privilege type array [0] and the 10 stored in the planned number of games array [0] to be added on the image are supported. It is shown that the character "10G" is displayed on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the image of the "treasure box" corresponding to the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [1] and the character "5G" corresponding to 5 stored in the number of games to be added array [1] are framed. It is shown that it is displayed in the upper right of the screen in a state surrounded by. Of the displays shown in FIG. 63 (v2), the contents displayed on the left side of the screen (privilege type array [0], number of games to be added [0]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the game. The contents displayed in the upper right frame of the screen (privilege type array [1], number of games to be added [1]) indicate the types of benefits and the number of games to be added in the next game.

In this second game, it is assumed that neither the small winning combination 1 nor the small winning combination 2 is won. FIG. 62 shows that there is no payout (0 cards) in the second game. Further, since the game state is the special zone, the special update process (steps S1A13 and 30 in FIG. 26) is executed at the end of the game. Here, the value stored in the number of games to be added array [0] is added to the number of remaining AT games (step S1E07 in FIG. 30). FIG. 62 shows that the number of remaining AT games in the second game is added to be 70. Further, since the hair strip device number 5 is internally won, the privilege type promotion lottery is executed (step S1E31 in FIG. 30). Here, it is assumed that the privilege type "A" stored in the privilege type array [4] is changed to the privilege type "B" by this lottery. FIG. 63 (w1) shows the state of the array after this change. In addition, in FIG. 62, it is shown that the privilege type stored in the privilege type arrangement [0] of the sixth game is "B" based on the result of the privilege type promotion lottery.

Information on the payout and the number of remaining AT games described above is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 as a game state update command (step S1A27 in FIG. 26). In the first sub-control unit 400 that receives this information, an additional effect is set by the specialized effect update process (step S3B07, step S3B15 in FIG. 41). In FIG. 63 (w2), the image on the left side of the screen is erased by the additional effect, and the characters “acquisition 70G” indicating the value of the number of remaining AT games at the present time and the characters indicating the life value are on the right side of the screen. It is shown that it is displayed in. In the special effect update process, the privilege type promotion effect may be set based on the result of the privilege type promotion lottery (step S3B15 in FIG. 41). However, in this effect mode A, since the image corresponding to the privilege type array [4] is not displayed, the privilege type promotion effect is not set here. FIG. 63 (x2) shows a state after the effects at the end of the second game have been executed. In addition, unlike this embodiment, when the configuration in which the privilege type of the privilege type array [1] is changed is adopted, the image displayed in the upper right frame of the screen is changed according to the change content. May occur. Note that FIG. 63 (x1) shows the state of the array when FIG. 63 (x2) is displayed, but the state of the array here is the same as the state shown in FIG. 63 (w1). is there.

In the example of FIG. 62, it is shown that the life value becomes 0 in the ninth game. When the life value becomes 0, the special zone ends even in the middle of the scenario (Yes in step S1E45 in FIG. 30). FIG. 62 shows the transition from the specialized zone to the AT state in the ninth game. For the specialized zone, the minimum guaranteed number of AT remaining games may be set. For example, if 50 is set as the minimum guaranteed number, the life value will not be 0 (it will not be subtracted from 1) until the number of remaining AT games exceeds this minimum guaranteed number, and it will be specialized as it is. The zone may be continuous.

[Operation example in specialized zone (4)]
In [Operation example in the special zone (1)] to [Operation example in the special zone (3)], the operation when the effect mode A is selected has been described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 63. Hereinafter, the operation when the effect mode B is selected will be described again using these drawings. Since the operation of the main control unit 300 is the same in both the effect mode A and the effect mode B, the difference in the effect to be executed will be described below.

When the effect mode A is selected, the type of privilege and the number of games to be added (the privilege type array [0], the number of games to be added [0]) in the game are displayed on the left side of the screen at the start of the game. .. On the other hand, when the effect mode B is selected, the type of privilege in the game is displayed on the left side of the screen at the start of the game, but the number of games to be added is not displayed (step S3417 in FIG. 39). ..

When the effect mode A is selected, the type of privilege in the next game and the number of games scheduled to be added (special type array [1], array of planned number of games to be added [1]) are displayed in the upper right frame of the screen at the start of the game. It is displayed in. On the other hand, when the production mode B is selected, the number of games to be added is not displayed, but not only the next game but also the types of benefits up to 5 games ahead are displayed in the upper right frame of the screen at the start of the game. Is displayed in (step S3419 in FIG. 39).

54 (c3), 55 (f3), 56 (h3), 57 (k3), 58 (n3), 59 (p3), 61 (s3), 63 (v3). Same as FIG. 54 (c2), FIG. 55 (f2), FIG. 56 (h2), FIG. 57 (k2), FIG. 58 (n2), FIG. 59 (p2), FIG. 61 (s2), and FIG. 63 (v2), respectively. An example is shown when the production mode B is selected in the situation, and the number of additional games scheduled to be added when the production mode A is selected is when the production mode B is selected. It is shown that it is not displayed. In addition, the number of images corresponding to the privilege types after the next game is only one when the effect mode A is selected, whereas it is five when the effect mode B is selected. It has become. Further, the images used at this time are four types (step S3413 and step S3415 in FIG. 39) when the effect mode A is selected, whereas six types (step S3413 and step S3415 in FIG. 39) are used when the effect mode B is selected. Step S3417 and step S3419) in FIG. 39), so that the difference in privilege types can be more clearly understood.

In addition, when the privilege type stored in the privilege type arrangements [2] to [6] is changed by the privilege type promotion lottery in the special zone (step S1E31 in FIG. 30), when the effect mode A is selected. Does not execute the privilege type promotion effect (since the corresponding image is not displayed, FIG. 63 (x2)), but when the effect mode B is selected, the privilege type promotion effect is executed. In FIG. 63 (x3), when the effect mode B is selected, the image corresponding to the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [4] is changed from "Yoshimune" to "Grandfather" by the privilege type promotion effect. It is shown that it has been updated to.

[Regarding the configuration of specialized zones (1)]
In the special zone, one of a plurality of types of privilege types is set based on the scenario (the privilege type stored in the privilege type array [0] is used in the game), and various results are obtained according to this privilege type. Is configured to obtain (see FIG. 24 (b)). It should be noted that these privilege types can be grasped to some extent by the corresponding images (FIGS. 52 to 63). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, in the games in which the privilege types "A", "B", and "C" are set, the number of remaining AT games is added (third and sixth games in FIG. 52). However, the number of remaining AT games will not be added if the player wins the game internally or if the player wins the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 13) internally and wins one card (the fourth game in FIG. 52, 7th game).

In the game in which the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Z" are set, the number of remaining AT games is added and the life is deducted by 1 (fifth game in FIG. 52). However, if you win the game internally or if you win the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 13) internally and win one card, the number of remaining AT games will not be added and your life will not be subtracted (Fig.). The eighth game of 52). Further, when the condition device numbers 5 to 7 are internally won, the number of remaining AT games is added and the life is not subtracted (second game in FIG. 62).

In a game in which the privilege type "H" is set, 1 is added for a life value of less than 3, and 10 AT remaining games are added if the life value is 3 (4th game in FIG. 60). .. However, these additions are not executed when the player wins the game internally and when the player wins the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 13) and wins one card (the fourth game in FIG. 62).

In the game in which the privilege type "L" is set (the last game in the scenario), 200 AT remaining games are added regardless of the result of the internal winning or the winning combination (9th game in FIG. 60).

Life values are set in the special zone (initial value 3, maximum value 3), and when this life value reaches 0, the special zone ends even if the scenario is in the middle (9 games in FIG. 62). Eye). If the special zone ends in the middle of the scenario, you will not be able to receive benefits such as the number of remaining AT games that can be obtained in the remaining scenarios and the number of remaining AT games that can be obtained in games for which the privilege type "L" is set. become. That is, even if there is an opportunity to add the number of remaining AT games in the game, it is possible to secure an opportunity to acquire the remaining number of AT games by avoiding the decrease in life without acquiring this. It may be advantageous for the player (a state in which profits can be easily obtained), and even if the payout in the game is reduced, it may be desired to be in a state in which profits can be easily obtained.

In the present embodiment, when an internal winning is won in addition to the push order bell, the same result is obtained regardless of the stop operation for the addition of the number of remaining AT games and the increase / decrease in life. On the other hand, if the push order bell is internally won, the player may or may not win a single winning combination due to the stop operation, and the number of remaining AT games may be added or the life may be increased or decreased depending on whether or not the single winning combination is won. Will give different results. First, if the privilege types are "A", "B", and "C", the number of remaining AT games will be added if you do not win a single role (6 small wins or a loss), but if you win a single role, The number of AT remaining games is not added. Therefore, in this case, it can be said that the former (non-winning for one piece) is in a state where it is easier to acquire the game medium, and is advantageous to the player except for the payout. On the other hand, when the privilege types are "X", "Y", and "Z", if one player does not win a prize (6 small wins or a loss), the number of remaining AT games is added, but the life is subtracted by 1 and 1 It is possible to avoid that the life is subtracted although the number of remaining AT games is not added when the winning combination is won. Therefore, in this case, it can be said that the latter (winning one piece) is in a state where it is easier to acquire the game medium, and is advantageous to the player except for the payout.

That is, in the present embodiment, the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the two types of stopping modes (one-card winning combination and one-card winning non-winning) is the first state (privilege types are "A", "B", and "C". ”) And the second state (when the privilege type is“ X ”,“ Y ”,“ Z ”), the condition device is provided. Then, in addition to this configuration, an effect that can determine whether it is the first state or the second state (display of an image corresponding to the privilege type) and a condition device from which the above two types of stop modes are derived are derived. We have adopted a configuration in which an effect (half navigation) indicating that the image is present is executed. In this configuration, depending on the operation of the player, even if the game result (stop mode) is the same, it is in the first state (privilege type "A" "B" "C") or in the second state (privilege type). Since the ease of acquiring the game medium changes depending on whether it is "X", "Y", or "Z"), it is possible to expand the range of the game, such as improving the interest of the game at the time of the stop operation. it can. In determining the stop mode, the stopped symbol may be determined, or the stop mode may be determined in the push order.

In the present embodiment, a push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is used as a condition device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the two types of stop modes is reversed, but the push order combination is limited to these. Instead, the lottery result may be such that two or more types of stop modes can be derived based on operation conditions such as the timing of the stop operation and the push order. As a result of such a lottery, for example, as in the present embodiment, it is possible to win a specific role (bell, replay) by pushing order, or a role (bell, replay, cherry, watermelon, etc.) by so-called pushing. ) May be awarded, and further, the winning combination may not be won (loss), and at least two types of stopping modes may be derived depending on the operating conditions.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the two types of stop modes (one-card combination winning and non-winning) is the state in which the privilege types "A", "B", and "C" are set and the privilege. The configuration that differs (reverses) from the state in which the types "X", "Y", and "Z" are set has been described, but it is sufficient if the configuration is such that the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the stop mode is reversed depending on the state. For example, there is no limitation on whether or not to pay out these suspension modes. If there is a payout in at least one of the two types of stop modes, it is possible to obtain not only enjoyment depending on the presence or absence of payout and the amount of payout, but also enjoyment due to the difference in the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the stop mode. it can. In addition, if there is no payout in either of the two types of stop modes (for example, when a replay or loss is internally won), it is predicted how the ease of acquiring the game medium will change based on the stop mode. You can get fun such as. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the privilege type "X", "Y", "Z" is set and the player is internally elected to lose, the life reduction can be avoided, and the privilege types "X", "Y" can be avoided. Compared to the case where the life is reduced without winning a single winning combination in the state where "Z" is set, it becomes easier to acquire the game medium. It is not necessary to adopt this configuration, but if it is adopted as in the present embodiment, it may be possible to avoid a more disadvantageous state for the player even if the player wins the game internally. It is possible to make it difficult to diminish the interest of. In addition, when the privilege type "X" "Y" "Z" is set and the loss is internally won to avoid the decrease in life, the privilege types "X" "Y" "Z" are set. It may be configured to execute the same effect (see FIG. 59) as in the case of winning a single winning combination in the state. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the half-navigation is executed when the push order combination is internally won, but the lottery result can be derived from two or more types of stop modes, not limited to the production like this half-navigation. Any configuration may be used as long as some effect (for example, display of the corresponding image, output of the corresponding sound) is executed when the result is derived. When this configuration is adopted, it is possible to grasp that the above-mentioned lottery result has been derived by the effect, and it can be expected that the stop mode will be more advantageous for the player.

In the present embodiment, when the condition device (condition device numbers 8 to 13) in which the ease of acquisition of the game medium based on the two types of stop modes is reversed between the first state and the second state is internally won. Only in this case, we have adopted a configuration that executes an effect (half navigation) indicating that these condition devices have been internally elected. However, this configuration is an example, and when a predetermined group including a condition device in which the ease of acquiring a game medium is reversed is internally elected to a condition device belonging to this predetermined group, the predetermined group is assigned. Any configuration may be used as long as the effect indicating that the conditional device to which the device belongs has been internally elected (hereinafter referred to as a group effect) is executed before the stop operation becomes effective. In this configuration, by executing the group effect, it can be expected that the condition device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed is internally won, and that the stop mode is more advantageous. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned predetermined group is composed only of the condition device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed, and the half navigation corresponds to an example of the group production. However, not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment, a predetermined group may include a conditional device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is not reversed. Here, as for the conditional device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is not reversed, any result may be obtained regardless of the stopping mode and the operating condition, and even if the conditional device (loss) does not win a prize. Good. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described.

For example, in the present embodiment, all push order bells (condition device numbers 8 to 13) are used as condition devices in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed, but one of the push order bells (for example, condition). Only the device number 8) may be used as a conditional device in which the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed. In this configuration, all push order bells (condition device numbers 8 to 13) correspond to an example of a predetermined group, and half navigation corresponds to an example of a group effect, which is common to the present embodiment, but is assigned to a predetermined group. The difference is that a condition device (for example, condition device numbers 9 to 13) that does not reverse the ease of acquiring the game medium is included. In this configuration, the phenomenon that the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed occurs only in a part of the game in which the half-navigation is executed (internal winning in the condition device number 8), but the acquisition of the game medium by executing the half-navigation Since it is possible to know the possibility that the ease of reversing will occur, it is possible to expect the player to have a better stopping mode.

Further, in the present embodiment, all the condition devices belonging to the predetermined group are configured to be able to win a prize of the same type of combination (condition device numbers 8 to 13 can win a bell and a single combination). Conditional devices belonging to the group may include conditional devices capable of winning different types of combinations. For example, a predetermined group is composed of condition device numbers 5 to 8, and a group effect is executed to display a “?” Indicates that the condition device belonging to the predetermined group has been internally elected, and the condition device number 8 is displayed. The ease of acquiring the game medium may be reversed based on the success or failure of the winning of the one-card combination when the player is internally elected.

If only one of the condition devices belonging to the predetermined group has the ease of acquiring the game medium reversed, it is assumed that the condition device is internally elected when the group effect is executed. There is a possibility that the stop operation will be performed on the assumption. In this case, although there is a risk that the payout will decrease if the condition device that does not reverse the ease of acquiring the game medium is internally won, it may be easy to make it easy to acquire the game medium. , There is a risk that the interest of the game will decline. For this reason, two or more condition devices for which the ease of acquiring the game medium is reversed are provided, and the operating conditions for facilitating the acquisition of the game medium for one condition device and the game medium for the other condition device are acquired. It is preferable that the operating conditions for facilitation are not the same (at least a part of them does not overlap).

Further, in the present embodiment, the ease of acquiring the game medium based on the two types of stop modes (one-card winning combination and one-card winning non-winning) is the first state (privilege types are "A", "B", and "B". (When it is "C") and the second state (when the privilege type is "X", "Y", "Z") are reversed, but it is not a stop mode as in this example, but two. The ease of acquiring the game medium based on the derivation of the lottery results of the types may be reversed between the first state and the second state.

[Regarding the configuration of specialized zones (2)]
In the present embodiment, when the zone shifts to the special zone, the effect mode selection effect is executed, and either the effect mode A or the effect mode B can be selected. In the effect mode A, the image corresponding to the privilege type in the game and the next game and the number of games to be added are displayed. On the other hand, in the effect mode B, the number of games scheduled to be added is not displayed, but the images corresponding to the privilege types are displayed not only for the game and the next game but also for up to 5 games ahead. In this way, since the amount of information that can be seen and the range thereof are different for each production mode, there is a wide range of ways to enjoy the game. In this embodiment, the information of 2 games is displayed in the effect mode A, and the information of 6 games is displayed in the effect mode B. For example, the information of 1 game (only the game concerned) is displayed in the effect mode A. If the number of games is different, the configuration is not limited to the above configuration. Further, the amount of information to be displayed is not limited to the present embodiment, and the amount of information per game may be large when the number of displayed games is small. In executing these effects, the privilege type array and the number of games to be added are used. The configuration of these arrays is an example, and its size can be appropriately changed depending on whether or not it is used for the production. In addition, the timing of shifting the privilege type arrangement and the arrangement of the number of games to be added, and the timing of the lottery for the number of games to be added can be appropriately adjusted. In this embodiment, the information to be displayed in the effect mode A and the effect mode B is different, but by holding the minimum necessary information and performing the display based on the information, the main capacity is ensured while ensuring the ease of understanding of the game. Can be reduced.

In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which information about the addition of the number of remaining AT games is displayed using two production modes, but a configuration in which information is displayed using the two production modes is adopted. Can be applied to configurations that display information about benefits for the player. Such information may be information about benefits such as transition to an advantageous state or a longer period of the advantageous state that has already been set, or information such as a game console setting value or an internal gaming state. It may be information about the game console. Furthermore, for example, when an environment for each user is provided on the game console, image data or music data for customization thereof, or images that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal owned by the player, etc. It may be information about benefits that are not related to the game, such as information about music. Further, these combinations may be used.

[Regarding the configuration of specialized zones (3)]
In this embodiment, in the CZ or AT state, full navigation is set when the push order bell is internally won. Then, by following this full navigation, the player can surely win the small role 6 and can obtain the maximum number of sheets that can be obtained. On the other hand, in the specialized zone, the frequency of internally winning the push order bell does not change compared to the CZ or AT state, but the difference is that half navigation is set instead of full navigation. In this half navigation, only the first stop is displayed in the correct push order, so the probability that the player operates in the correct push order and wins the small winning combination 6 is 50%. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

When the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won and the half navigation is followed, one of the two stop buttons except the stop button for which the first stop operation is performed matches the correct operation order. That is, with a 50% probability, the first to third stop operations match the correct operation order and win a small winning combination 6 (8 cards are paid out), and with a 50% probability, only the first stop operation is the correct operation order. Match with and win one piece.

If the push order bell (condition device numbers 8 to 13) is internally won and the half navigation is not followed, either two of the internally won one-card combinations will be tempai until the first stop operation and the second stop operation. To do. Then, if the timing of the third stop operation is the timing at which the symbol (any two of Seven 1, Seven 2, Blank 1, and Blank 2) corresponding to the tempered single-card combination can be pulled in, the single-card combination is won. However, if the timing is other than that, it will be lost. In this case, there is a 50% chance of winning a single card and a 50% chance of losing.

That is, in the specialized zone, although the profit per game is smaller than that in the CZ or AT state, the player can obtain more profit than in the state where the operation condition is not notified (acquired more than the game medium used). There are many game media).

Here, unlike the present embodiment, it is assumed that a configuration is adopted in which the ball ejection is suppressed by providing a section between the AT state and the AT state in which the stop operation is not notified. However, in this configuration, there arises a problem that the interest of the game is diminished because the stop operation is not notified. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a special zone may be provided between the AT state and the AT state, but in this special zone, more profits can be obtained than in the state without notification of the operating condition. It is possible to prevent the interest of the game from diminishing while suppressing the ball output.

In addition, if the period in which the payout is suppressed becomes long, the player may get bored, but in the specialized zone of this embodiment, the number of remaining AT games is added, and the number of remaining AT games is added at the end of the scenario. By adopting a configuration in which 200 is added, the number of AT remaining games increases as the specialized zone becomes longer, and the average value of the AT remaining games added in one game may become larger. In addition, when comparing the frequency of addition of the number of remaining AT games in the game that was internally won in the push order bell, it can be said that the special zone is higher than the AT state (additional 0.5% in the AT state (additional value of 0.5% in the AT state). In FIG. 23 (a)), in the special zone, the privilege types "A" to "C" and "X" to "Z" are added without winning a single role (FIG. 24). It should be noted that the number of remaining AT games may not be added in the game in which the push order bell is internally won in the AT state. Further, regardless of whether or not the game is internally won in the push order bell, the number of remaining AT games may be added more frequently in the specialized zone than in the AT state.

In the configuration of the present embodiment, the longer the specialized zone, the longer the AT state to be transferred later will continue, and as a result, more profits can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to suppress the ball ejection without giving a bad impression to the player. Hereinafter, a specific description will be made with reference to FIG.

In FIGS. 64 (a1) and 64 (a2), an example of the transition of profit when the AT state is a net increase of 3 sheets and the special zone is a net increase of 1.5 sheets is shown by a solid line. Further, as a comparison target, an example of the transition of profit when the AT state continues is shown by a broken line.

In the example of FIG. 64 (a1), it is shown that the ball ejection is suppressed as compared with the case where the AT state continues (broken line). In addition, in this specialized zone, profits can be obtained even though it is less than the AT state, and the number of remaining AT games can be obtained, so that it is possible to make it difficult for the interest of the game to decline.

In the example of FIG. 64 (a2), as in FIG. 64 (a1), it is shown that the ball ejection is suppressed as compared with the case where the AT state continues (broken line). In addition, the special zone (the period during which the ball ejection is suppressed is longer than that in the AT state) is longer than in FIG. 64 (a1). In contrast to the period in which the second AT state is set in FIG. 64 (a1), the special zone continues in FIG. 64 (a2), and the net increase in the number of sheets is smaller than that in FIG. 64 (a1) in this period. It is shown that However, in FIG. 64 (a2), while the period during which the payout is suppressed becomes longer, a larger number of remaining AT games can be obtained, so that the period during which the second AT state is set is shown in FIG. 64. It will be longer than (a1), and as a result, more profit can be obtained. In this way, even if the period for suppressing the payout is extended, it is possible to make it difficult for the interest of the game to decline.

In the AT state (AT (1) and AT (2) in FIG. 64), a configuration in which an additional lottery or the like is not performed, or a configuration in which benefits that facilitate profits are more difficult to obtain than in the specialized zone may be obtained. .. In this configuration, it may be possible to manage the length of the AT state by using the period for suppressing the ball ejection.

In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the ball ejection is suppressed while notifying the operating conditions in the specialized zone, but the operating conditions may not be notified in this specialized zone. FIGS. 64 (b1) and 64 (b2) show an example of the transition of profit in the example of FIGS. 64 (a1) and 64 (a2) when the operating conditions in the special zone are not notified and the balls are output in the same manner as in the normal state. It is shown. As in FIGS. 64 (a1) and 64 (a2), an example of the transition of profit when the AT state continues as a comparison target is shown by a broken line.

In the example of FIGS. 64 (b1) and 64 (b2), since the operation condition is not notified in the special zone, the profit is reduced as compared with the case of FIGS. 64 (a1) and 64 (a2) (for example, 1). (2 cards are reduced per game, etc.), so it is possible to prevent the situation where too many balls are thrown out. However, depending on the length of the specialized zone, the player may fall into a state of loss (Fig. 64 (b2)), so the AT remaining game will surely turn positive in the second AT state. It is preferable to get a number. For example, there is a configuration in which the amount of increase in the number of remaining AT games and the acquisition probability are increased according to the length of the specialized zone.

In the present embodiment, the half-navigation state is set between the AT state and the AT state. However, for example, after the end of the AT state, the half-navigation state may be changed without fail. .. Even with this configuration, it may be possible to suppress ball ejection. Further, the half navigation may be in the state (preparation period) before the transition to the AT state (or ART), the bonus internal winning state, the CZ, etc., and is not limited to the specialized zone.

On the other hand, the special zone is not limited to a configuration in which only half navigation is executed, and may be a configuration in which, for example, full navigation can be executed but the execution frequency is reduced. Such a configuration may be a configuration in which the presence or absence of execution is determined by lottery, or a configuration in which full navigation is executed every time the number of games or the number of internal winnings of the target combination of full navigation reaches a certain number of times. Further, the configuration may be such that both the case where the half navigation is executed and the case where the full navigation is executed exist.

Further, in the present embodiment, when one of the left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left is the correct operation order, the first of the correct operation orders. By displaying only the stop operation (half navigation), there are two options (two options). As another configuration, the operation order is not shown until the first stop operation is performed (for example, "???"), and when the first stop operation matches the correct operation order, the remaining correct operation order is obtained. By displaying, the configuration may be such that there are three options (three options). Further, by displaying two candidates for the first stop operation, one that matches the operation order of the correct answer and one that does not, the configuration may be such that there are four options (four options). Further, by not showing the correct operation order until all the reels are stopped (for example, "???"), there may be a configuration in which there are six options (six options). However, it is preferable that some kind of notification (for example, display of a corresponding image, output of a corresponding voice) is performed so that it can be grasped that the push order bell is internally won.

In addition, unlike this embodiment, when the privilege type "X" is set and the configuration is adopted such that if the half navigation is not followed, one piece is won, the decrease in life can be easily avoided. Will end up. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a single winning combination is won with a probability of 50% regardless of whether the half navigation is followed or not. Further, in this configuration, even if a half-navigation is missed, an opportunity to add the number of remaining AT games and an opportunity to avoid a decrease in life can be given. In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a single winning combination is won with a probability of 50% regardless of whether the half navigation is followed or not, but this probability is not limited to 50% and is biased. May be good. In addition, for example, in a game in which the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Z" are set, the life is reduced and a great disadvantage is obtained unless a single winning combination is won. Therefore, the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Y" are set. Only in the case of "Z", even if the half-navigation is not followed, it may be possible to win a prize in one piece.

In the present embodiment, the number of remaining AT games is added during the period when the number of balls is suppressed, but in order to prevent the interest of the game from diminishing during the period when the number of balls is suppressed. , Any configuration may be used as long as some benefits can be obtained during the period when the ball output is suppressed. Such a privilege may be, for example, a privilege such as shifting to an advantageous state or a longer period of the advantageous state already set, or a game table such as a game table setting value or an internal game state. It may be a privilege to obtain information. Furthermore, for example, when an environment for each user is provided on the game console, image data or music data for customization thereof, or images that can be downloaded on a mobile terminal owned by the player, etc. It may be a privilege that has nothing to do with the game, such as information such as music. Further, these combinations may be used.

[Regarding the configuration of specialized zones (4)]
In the special zone, one of a plurality of types of benefits is set based on the scenario. In this scenario, a plurality of scenarios having different average values (or expected values) of the number of remaining AT games that can be acquired are prepared (FIG. 24 (a)). Here, in the privilege type shown in FIG. 24A, if the production mode A is selected, it is possible to grasp which scenario is in the third game, and if the production mode B is selected, which is in the first game. You can grasp whether it is a scenario. By setting a common privilege type for a plurality of scenarios from the beginning, it is possible to make it difficult to grasp which scenario while the common privilege type is displayed. In addition, you can enjoy by guessing the scenario and predicting how many AT remaining games can be obtained from the guessed scenario. In the present embodiment, the privilege type is set in the continuous game, but the privilege type may be set by sandwiching the game in which the privilege type is not set (not the continuous game).

In the present embodiment, the privilege type may be set in the privilege type arrangements [1] to [6] when shifting to the special zone, or the privilege type may be set according to the progress of the game. Although a scenario prepared in advance is used when setting the privilege type, a configuration in which a lottery for the privilege type is performed may be adopted as needed without using such a scenario. When such a lottery structure is adopted, the winning probability of the privilege type may change depending on the situation. For example, when the life value is 1, the winning probability of the privilege type "H" may be increased, or the winning probability of the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Z" may be decreased.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the effect mode B is selected, an image is displayed by using one frame (one frame) for one privilege type. For example, the privilege type is adopted. When any two or more of "A", "B", and "C" are continuous, two frames (or more) are used to display a special image of the size corresponding to these areas. You may. As a specific example, when the privilege types after 5 and 6 games are "A" and "C", respectively, the image of "Yoshimune" corresponding to the privilege type "A" after 5 games is not displayed for 2 frames. Only the left half of the special image of the size of is displayed, and the right half of the special image is displayed instead of displaying the image of "princess" corresponding to the next privilege type "C". In this example, although the privilege types "A" and "C" cannot be grasped, any of the privilege types "A", "B", and "C" is 2 when the left half of the special image is displayed. It is possible to make the player understand that one or more consecutive images are continuous. In this case, it is possible to increase the variation of the presentation while keeping the number of types of benefits.

[Regarding the configuration of specialized zones (5)]
In the present embodiment, when the condition device numbers 5 to 7 are internally won, any of the privilege type sequences [3] to [6] is promoted. In the present embodiment, the number of games to be added is arranged only from [0] to [2], so even if the privilege type arrangements [3] to [6] are updated by promotion, the number of games to be added is the same as the number of games to be added. Inconsistencies (for example, the changed privilege type does not correspond to the previously set number of games to be added) occur, or the number of games to be added is drawn again to correct this. There is no need to say. The process of promotion of the privilege type array is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment, and for example, the priority of promotion may be set for the privilege type arrays [3] to [6]. Further, for example, the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Z" may be promoted to "H" in addition to the privilege types "A", "B", and "C". Further, the promotion lottery may be executed for each game regardless of the condition device that has been internally elected. Furthermore, if the number of AT remaining games acquired is small (for example, if it is below the average for each scenario or if the minimum value of AT remaining games is below this), the life is 1. In the case of, the process of promoting the privilege types "X", "Y", and "Z" may be performed with high probability.

Further, not only the privilege type arrangements [3] to [6] but also the privilege type arrangements [1] to [2] may be subject to promotion. In this configuration, the number of games to be added corresponding to the privilege type targeted for promotion may already be set, so the number of games to be added corresponding to the privilege type after the change may be drawn again. .. For example, in a state where 5 is set as the number of games scheduled to be added corresponding to the privilege type "A", if the game is promoted to the privilege type "B", the number of games scheduled to be added corresponding to the privilege type "B" does not have 5, so a lottery is required again. Therefore, the rate of re-lottery may be reduced by promoting the privilege type for which the corresponding number of scheduled games to be added is set at a lower frequency than the other privilege types. Since only the information about the privilege type arrangements [0] to [1] is displayed in the effect mode A, the frequency of executing the privilege type promotion effect is reduced in this effect mode A. However, since more specific information is displayed in the effect mode A, it is preferable not to change it so much because changing this information may result in misleading the player. In addition, the privilege types may be simply promoted with the same probability. In this case, even if the privilege type that is not displayed in the effect mode A is promoted, the privilege type promotion effect is not executed. Therefore, the execution frequency of the privilege type promotion effect is lower than that in the effect mode B.

[About pt high probability mode]
In the present embodiment, the CZ lottery or the AT lottery is executed by acquiring the pt, and it can be said that the high probability mode in which the pt is more easily acquired is advantageous to the player. This high-probability mode is managed using the number of pt high-probability sets and the number of pt high-probability remaining games, but not limited to these parameters, arbitrary conditions are adopted for the start and end of the high-probability mode. can do.

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

Further, a configuration is adopted in which 10 pt high-probability remaining games are given when shifting to the state B or when the number of pt high-probability sets is subtracted by 1 (step S1019 in FIG. 14 and step S1259 in FIG. 18). As for this value, not only an arbitrary value can be adopted, but also a configuration in which a different value is set depending on the lottery can be adopted. Further, the configuration may be such that the number of pt high probability sets is given instead of giving the number of pt high probability remaining games when shifting to the state B.

Further, when setting the number of pt high-probability sets and the number of pt high-probability remaining games, it may be configured to determine whether or not to set by lottery, but to the high-probability mode when the state A is changed to the state B. The transition probability of is preferably higher than the transition probability to the high probability mode in the normal mode of the state B. In the present embodiment, when the state A is changed to the state B, the mode is changed to the 100% high probability mode, whereas in the normal mode of the state B, the mode is changed by the lottery based on the conditional device (pt high probability set number is given). Will be). That is, the transition probability (100%) to the high probability mode when transitioning from the state A to the state B is higher than the transition probability (less than 100%) to the high probability mode in the normal mode of the state B. There is.

In addition, a precursory period may be provided when shifting to the high probability mode. Further, in the present embodiment, if the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 when the number of pt high-probability remaining games becomes 0, even if the pt high-probability set number remains, this is discarded and the CZ lottery or The AT lottery is executed, but when not only the number of pt high-probability remaining games but also the number of pt high-probability sets becomes 0 and the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000, the CZ lottery or AT lottery May be configured to execute.

≪Others≫
In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the internal winning probability of the re-game combination does not change is used, but the present embodiment and the modified example can also be applied to a configuration in which a so-called RT is provided. Further, although the present embodiment uses a configuration in which the bonus combination is not provided, the present embodiment and the modified example can be applied to the configuration in which the bonus combination is provided. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 47 to 51, the configuration using the conditional device for winning the replay combination of the conditional device numbers 1 to 4 has been described, but the combination, the conditional device, the symbol combination, and the like to be used are limited to this configuration. It's not a thing.

In the present embodiment, as the limit of the state B, the state B continues for 1500 games and the net increase from the minimum value exceeds 2400, but this numerical value is predetermined. Anything can be used as long as it is used.

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

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

In the present embodiment, the CZ, AT state, and special zone are adopted as the states in which the operation navigation is executed, but the configuration is not limited to this, and may be so-called AR or the like. In addition, a configuration is adopted in which the period of the AT state is managed by the number of remaining AT games. For example, a configuration in which the number of remaining navigations and the number of remaining games that can be acquired are used, and a configuration in which whether or not to continue is decided by lottery. It may be adopted.

In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the flags and variables related to the state B are initialized at the end of the state B (step S1F21 in FIG. 31). Such information is not limited to the variables used in the present embodiment, and may be configured to determine whether or not to execute automatic settlement and termination using various variables and flags. For example, as a condition for operating the automatic settlement function, when the number of continuous games in the AT state is 200 or more, the number of operation navigations in the AT state is 50 or more, and the acquisition difference from the start to the end of the AT state. When the number of sheets is more than a certain number, such a thing may be adopted. Further, the timing of determining these conditions is not limited to the configuration of determining at the end of the advantageous section such as the state B, and the corresponding flag is set to on when the above conditions are satisfied, and the advantageous section is determined. It may be configured to execute automatic settlement and stop according to this flag at the end of. When the variables and flags described here are adopted, these variables and flags are initialized at the end of state B.

Further, when the automatic settlement is executed, the signal may be output through the information output circuit 334. This signal may be configured to be output only when the automatic settlement function or the stop function is enabled. In this configuration, the player may be able to grasp that the automatic settlement function and the stop function are enabled.
