Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the slot machine 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The figure shows a circuit block diagram of the control unit.

The control unit of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into a main control unit 300 that controls the progress of the game and a main effect according to a command signal (hereinafter, simply referred to as "command") transmitted by the main control unit 300. It is composed of a first sub-control unit 400 that controls the above, and a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on commands transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400. Here, with respect to the main control unit 300, if the data capacity becomes large, it becomes difficult to confirm the program, and there is a problem of security deterioration such as becoming a hotbed for unauthorized modification. Therefore, the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 And the data capacity of RAM 308 is limited. The main control unit 300 corresponds to an example of the internal winning result determining means, the game state setting means, the stop control means, the operation navigation state setting means, and the period setting means of the present invention, and the first sub control unit 400 is the present invention. It corresponds to an example of the operation navigation execution means of the present invention.

<Main control unit>
First, the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300, and the basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used at the time of internal lottery of a winning combination, and a reel symbol. A ROM 306 that stores an array, stop position, etc., a RAM 308 that temporarily stores data, an I / O 310 that controls input / output of various devices, and a counter timer 312 that measures time, number of times, etc. And, WDT (watchdog timer) 314 is installed. Other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this point is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500, which will be described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output by the crystal oscillator 315b as a system clock. Further, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the frequency dividing data stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 sets the interrupt time based on the received frequency dividing data. It is determined and an interrupt request is transmitted to the CPU 304 for each interrupt time. The CPU 304 monitors each sensor and transmits a drive pulse in response to this interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output by the crystal oscillator 315b is set to 8 MHz, the frequency division value of the counter timer 312 is set to 1/256, and the data for frequency division of the ROM 306 is set to 47, the interrupt reference time is 256 × 47/8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

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

Further, the main control unit 300 includes a sensor circuit 320, and the CPU 304 is inserted from various sensors 318 (bet button 130 sensor, bet button 131 sensor, bet button 132 sensor, medal insertion slot 141) for each interruption time. Medal medal reception sensor, start lever 135 sensor, left stop button 137 sensor, middle stop button 138 sensor, right stop button 139 sensor, settlement button 134 sensor, medal payout sensor for medal payout device 180, left reel 110 The state of the optical sensor, the optical sensor of the middle reel 111, the optical sensor of the right reel 112, etc.) is monitored.

When the sensor circuit 320 detects the H level of the start lever sensor, a signal indicating this detection is output to the random number generation circuit 316. The random number generation circuit 316 that has received this signal latches the value at that timing and stores it in a register that stores the random number value used for the lottery.

Two medal reception sensors are installed in the internal passage of the medal insertion slot 141, and detect whether or not the medal has passed. Two start lever 135 sensors are installed inside the start lever 135 to detect a start operation by the player. The left stop button 137 sensor, the middle stop button 138 sensor, and the right stop button 139 sensor are installed on the corresponding stop buttons 137 to 139, respectively, and detect the operation of the stop button by the player.

The bet button 130 sensor, the bet button 131 sensor, and the bet button 132 sensor are installed in each of the corresponding bet buttons 130 to 132, and the medals electronically stored in the RAM 308 are used as medals to be inserted into the game. Detects the loading operation when loading. The checkout button 134 sensor is provided on the checkout button 134. When the checkout button 134 is pressed once, the electronically stored medals are settled. The medal payout sensor is a sensor for detecting medals to be paid out by the medal payout device 180. The above sensors may be non-contact type sensors or contact type sensors.

The optical sensor of the left reel 110, the optical sensor of the middle reel 111, and the optical sensor of the right reel 112 are installed at predetermined positions on the mounting bases of the reels 110 to 112, and are provided on the reel frame to block light. Every time a piece passes, it becomes L level. The rotation position information indicating how much the reel is rotating from the reference position from once reaching the L level to the next L level is calculated based on the value obtained by counting the clock signal output by the crystal oscillator 315b.

<Design arrangement>
Next, the symbol arrangement applied to each of the above reels 110 to 112 will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the figure is a diagram showing an arrangement of symbols applied to each reel (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) in a planar development.

On each reel 110 to 112, a predetermined number of frames (21 frames of numbers 0 to 20 in this embodiment) of a plurality of types (8 types in this embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the figure are arranged. Further, the numbers 0 to 20 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of the symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, the frame number 19 on the left reel 110 has a "watermelon symbol", the frame number 20 on the middle reel 111 has a "bell symbol", and the frame number 18 on the right reel 112 has a "seven 1". "Designs" are arranged respectively.

In order to improve the enjoyment of the game, the slot machine 100 in the present embodiment stops the corresponding reels 110 to 112 within the maximum retractable range (less than 5 frames in the present embodiment) from the stopped operation position. It is configured.

<Types of winning roles>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing the types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), the combination of symbols corresponding to each winning combination, and the payout of each winning combination.

The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include special roles 1 to 3, replaying roles 1 to 11, and small roles 1 to 23. The types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations, and can be arbitrarily adopted.

Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special winning combinations 1 to 3 are roles that shift to a state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player (BB operating state and RB operating state described later, see the remarks column in FIG. 6). is there. In addition, the re-games 1 to 11 are roles that enable re-game without inserting a new medal. These special roles 1 to 3 and replay games 1 to 11 may be referred to as "acting roles". In addition, the "winning" in the present embodiment includes the case where the symbol combination of the operating combination without the distribution of medals (without the payout of medals) is displayed on the effective line. For example, the special combination 1 to 1 3. Winning of replaying roles 1 to 11 is included. The special roles 1 to 3 are special roles that are carried over to the next game if they are not determined to be a prize, and other roles are not carried over to the next game if they are not determined to be a prize. It is a role.

The special roles 1 and 2 are a combination (operating combination) that shifts to the BB operating state (RT6) by winning a prize. However, no medals will be paid out for winning the role itself. The corresponding symbol combinations are "Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1" for the special role 1 and "Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2" for the special role 2. In the following description, the special role 1 may be referred to as "BB1", the special role 2 may be referred to as "BB2", and the special role 1 and the special role 2 may be collectively referred to as "BB".

The special combination 3 is a combination (operating combination) that shifts to the RB operating state (RT4) by winning a prize. However, no medals will be paid out for winning the role itself. The corresponding symbol combination is "Seven 1-Seven 1-BAR". In the following description, the special role 3 may be referred to as "RB".

When the special winning combinations 1 to 3 are internally won, the internal winning flag corresponding to the special winning combination is set to on (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flag corresponding to the special roles 1 and 2 is set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the BB internal hit state (RT5), and the flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. If so, the main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the RB internal hit state (RT3). These flags are kept on until the corresponding operating combination is won, and it becomes easy to win these operating combinations in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, even if those roles are not won in the games in which the special roles 1 to 3 are internally won, the state will be the same as the state in which the special roles 1 to 3 are internally won in the next and subsequent games, and the corresponding symbol combinations will be obtained. It will be easy to win a prize. The BB internal hit state and the RB internal hit state will be described later.

In addition, when the special roles 1 to 3 are internally elected in duplicate with other replay or small roles, or when the other roles are internally elected in the internal winning state, the other roles are configured. The reel stop control is executed so that the symbols are aligned preferentially.

The main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the BB operating state (RT6) based on the display of the symbol combinations corresponding to the special combinations 1 and 2. Further, in this BB operating state, more than a predetermined number of sheets (300 sheets when the special role 1 is won, 200 sheets when the special role 2 is won, see the remarks column in FIG. 6) are paid out. Then, the state of the game is shifted to RT (RT7) after the bonus. The RT after the bonus will be described later.

The main control unit 300 shifts the game state to the RB operating state (RT4) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 3. Further, in this RB operating state, when the payout exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 105), the state of the game is shifted to RT (RT7) after the bonus.

The re-gaming roles 1 to 11 are winning roles (acting roles) that allow the game to be played without inserting medals (game media) in the next game by winning, and the medals are not paid out. As for the corresponding symbol combinations, the replay role 1 is "replay-replay-replay", the replay role 2 is "bell-replay-bell", and the replay role 3 is "replay-replay-cherry". The replay role 4 is "replay-replay-seven 1", the replay role 5 is "replay-replay-seven 2", and the replay role 6 is "replay-replay-bell". Replay 7 is "Replay-Replay-Watermelon", Replay 8 is "Bell-Replay-Seven 1", Replay 9 is "Bell-Replay-Seven 2", and Replay 10 is "Bell-Replay-Cherry", and the replay role 11 is "Replay-Bell-Bell". Of the above re-games, re-games 1 and 2 are "normal replays", re-games 3 to 5 are "promotion replays", re-games 6 are "falling replays 1", and re-games 7 are "falling replays 1". "Fall replay 2", replay 8-10 may be referred to as "fall replay 3", replay 11 may be referred to as "chance replay", and replay 6-10 may be collectively referred to as "fall replay". .. Further, when the re-game combination 3 to 5 is won, the state shifts to the re-game high probability state (RT2) described later, and when the re-game combination 6 to 10 is won, the state shifts to the normal state (RT0) described later.

The replaying combinations 1 to 11 may be any combination in which the player can play the next game without inserting a medal. Therefore, for example, when a prize is won in the replay, the number of medals inserted may be automatically inserted in the next game (the number of medals inserted is reset in the medal insertion number storage area described later), or the game in which the replay is won. The medals inserted in the above may be carried over to the next game and used as they are.

Small winning combinations 1 to 23 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning a prize. Corresponding symbol combinations are as follows: Small role 1 is "BAR-Replay-Replay", Small role 2 is "BAR-Replay-Seven 1", and Small role 3 is "BAR-Replay-Seven 2". Small role 4 is "BAR-replay-cherry", small role 5 is "BAR-cherry-BAR", small role 6 is "BAR-cherry-watermelon", and small role 7 is "BAR-replay". -Bell ", small role 8 is" cherry-cherry-cherry ", small role 9 is" cherry-cherry-watermelon ", small role 10 is" cherry-watermelon-bell ", and small role 11 is "Bell-Watermelon-Cherry", small role 12 is "Replay-Watermelon-Seven 1", small role 13 is "Replay-Watermelon-Seven 2", and small role 14 is "Replay-BAR". -Seven 1 ", the small role 15 is" Replay-BAR-Seven 2 ", the small role 16 is" Blank 1-BAR-Seven 1 ", and the small role 17 is" Blank 1-BAR-Seven 2 ". The small role 18 is "Blank 1-Watermelon-Seven 1", the small role 19 is "Blank 1-Watermelon-Seven 2", and the small role 20 is "Blank 1-Seven 1-Cherry". There, the small role 21 is "blank 1-seven 2-cherry", the small role 22 is "blank 1-BAR-cherry", and the small role 23 is "bell-bell-bell". The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

Of the above small roles, small roles 1 are "weak cherries", small roles 2 to 4 are "strong cherries", small roles 5 to 7 are "confirmed cherries", and small roles 8 to 10 are "middle cherries". The small winning combination 11 may be referred to as "watermelon", the small winning combination 12 to 22 may be referred to as "single role", and the small winning combination 23 may be referred to as "bell". Further, when the small winning combination 12 to 22 is won, the state shifts to the preparation state (RT1) described later. The small winning combination 23 is a winning combination regardless of the operating conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is won.

<Type of internal winner>
Next, the types of internal winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. 8 and 9 are diagrams showing the types and names of the internal winning combinations.

8 and 9 show 34 types of internal winning combinations (condition device numbers 1 to 34) in which the combinations described in FIGS. 6 and 7 are combined. The winning combination in the game is one of the roles corresponding to this internal winning combination. These internal winning combinations are determined by a lottery at the start operation of the game.

Conditional device numbers 1 to 16 are all internal winning combinations including special combinations. Of these, the condition device numbers 1, 8 and 13 are internal winning combinations in which the special combination is independently elected and does not overlap with other combinations. When these roles are internally won, it is possible to win the corresponding special role (shift to RB operating state (RT4) or BB operating state (RT6)), but if no prize is won, the RB internal winning state (RT3) or shifts to the BB internal hit state (RT5). In this case, unless the other role is internally won in the next and subsequent games, it will be possible to win the special roles 1 to 3.

On the other hand, the condition device numbers 2 to 7, 9 to 12, 14 to 16 are internal winning combinations in which a special combination and another combination are internally elected. In the present embodiment, the small winning combination and the replaying combination are configured to stop in preference to the special winning combination. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and another role are internally won, there is a possibility that the other role will win (in the case of a re-game role, a prize will always be won), but the special role will not be won. In addition, unless the next game shifts to the RB internal winning state (RT3) or the BB internal winning state (RT5) and the next and subsequent games are internally won by another role, it will be possible to win a special role. ..

In addition, in the RB internal winning state (RT3) or the BB internal winning state (RT5), if the internal winning combination is decided, either of the internally winning combination will be stopped with priority, so it will be a special combination. Do not win. If the internal winning combination here includes a special combination (conditional device numbers 1 to 16), no new flag is set for the special combination, and the special combination is treated as being substantially out of order. For internal winning combinations (condition device numbers 2 to 7, 9 to 12, 14 to 16) in which the special combination overlaps with other combinations, the special combination is treated as being internally elected to other roles other than the special combination (see the figure to be described later). The same applies when referring to 14 tables), and it is possible to stop other combinations. For example, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, the condition device number 26 is treated as an internal winner. In addition, if there is no internal winning combination (in the case of a loss), or if the condition device numbers 1, 8 and 13 are internally won, the special combination symbol can be stopped.

Conditional device numbers 17 to 25 are internal winning combinations composed of replaying combinations. Of these, when the condition device numbers 19 to 24 are internally elected, the RT described later may be changed. First, the condition device numbers 19 to 21 are defined with operating conditions (here, push order, hereinafter, correct push order) for winning a promotion replay (replay combination 3 to 5). If the stop operation when the condition device numbers 19 to 21 are internally won matches the pressing order of each correct answer, the promotion replay (replay combination 3 to 5) is won and the state shifts to the replay high probability state (RT2). To do. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the pressing order of the correct answer, the player wins the normal replay (replay combination 1 or replay combination 2), but the RT does not shift. Next, the condition device numbers 22 to 24 are defined with operating conditions (here, push order, hereinafter, correct push order) for avoiding winning of the fall replay (replaying combination 6 to 10). If the stop operation in the case of internal winning of the condition device numbers 22 to 24 matches the pressing order of each correct answer, the normal replay (replay combination 1 or replay combination 2) is won and the RT does not shift. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the pressing order of the correct answer, the player wins a fall replay (replaying combination 6 to 10) and shifts to the normal state (RT0). In the following description, the condition device numbers 19 to 24 may be collectively referred to as push order replay.

Conditional device numbers 26 to 34 are internal winning combinations composed of small combinations. Of these, the condition device numbers 29 to 31 each have an operating condition (here, the push order, hereinafter the correct push order) for winning the bell (small winning combination 23). In the following description, the condition device numbers 29 to 31 may be collectively referred to as a push order bell. In the case where these condition device numbers 29 to 31 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the pressing order of each correct answer, the bell (small winning combination 23) is won. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the correct pressing order, the one-card winning combination (small winning combination 12 to 22) other than the bell (small winning combination 23) is preferentially stopped, and the preparation state (RT1) is further entered. Transition. In the above configuration, if the stop operation does not match the correct push order, it may be out of alignment. 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. Further, in the present embodiment, when the condition device numbers 29 to 31 are internally won and the bell (small winning combination 23) is not won (hereinafter, bell spilled eyes, here, one piece combination (small winning combination 12 to 22)). And out of order) is the trigger for the transition to the ready state (RT1), but regardless of the outcome, the transition to the ready state (RT1) should be made on the condition that the correct answer push order does not match. It may be.

<Type of game status (RT)>
Next, the types of game states of the slot machine 100 and their transitions will be described. FIG. 10 is a transition diagram of the game state of the slot machine 100.

The slot machine 100 has a total of eight types having different advantages: a normal state, a ready state, a high probability replay state, an RB internal hit state, an RB operating state, a BB internal winning state, a BB operating state, and a post-bonus RT. It is configured so that the states can be switched, and the advantage is changed by the transition of these states, and the fun of the game is improved. In the following description, this game state may be referred to as RT, and the above-mentioned normal state, preparation state, re-game high probability state, RB internal hit state, RB operating state, BB internal hit state, and BB operation The state and the RT after the bonus may be referred to as RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, RT5, RT6, and RT7, respectively. Further, when switching between these RTs, the corresponding lottery table is changed (described later). The RT is controlled by the main control unit 300.

In FIG. 10, each RT described above is shown, and these transition conditions are described on the arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is satisfied, RT transitions in the direction of the arrow. These transition conditions include, for example, winning a predetermined winning combination, internally winning a predetermined winning combination, stopping and displaying a specific symbol combination on a specific winning line, and digesting a specified number of games. , And a predetermined number of sheets may be paid out.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a lottery table for internal winning combinations when the set value is 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a lottery table for the internal winning combination in the case of the set value 6. Further, FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the total lottery probability of the replaying combination for each RT.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, an internal winning combination (for example, an internal winning combination) excluding the re-game combination is excluded, except when the game states are RT4 and RT6 (may be referred to as staying). In FIGS. 11 and 12, the lottery values for the condition device numbers 3, 12, 26, and 28) differ depending on the set values (1 to 6 can be set in this embodiment). Further, when the state of the game is RT4 and RT6, the lottery value of the internal winning combination becomes a common lottery value regardless of the set value. As for the re-game combination, as shown in FIG. 13, the total lottery value for each RT is different, but the difference in the lottery value depending on the set value is not provided.

In FIGS. 11 and 12, the condition device numbers of the internal winning combinations (conditional devices) are shown on the vertical axis, respectively, and the lottery values (the size of the range of the lottery data) corresponding to RT for these internal winning combinations are shown. It is shown on the horizontal axis.

In the RT described below, the internal winning probability of the winning combination is the numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each winning combination from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306, and the random value acquired at the time of the internal lottery. It is obtained by dividing by the numerical data of the range (for example, 65536). For example, in the normal state (RT0), the lottery value of the common bell (small winning combination 23) of the condition device number 32 is 5000 in any of the settings 1 to 6, and the winning probability (RT0) of the common bell in the normal state is It is 5000/65536≈7.63%.

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 of medals 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 RT will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<RT0 (normal state)>
Among RT0 to RT3, RT5, and RT7, RT0 has the lowest internal winning probability of the replaying combination and is the most disadvantageous RT for the player.

The winning combination in RT0 includes condition device numbers 1 to 17 and 25 to 32. If the combination is not won, 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".

FIG. 10 shows that when a bell is spilled while RT0 is set, it shifts to RT1, when it wins RB, it shifts to RT4, and when it wins BB1 and BB2, it shifts to RT6. Further, it is shown that if the RB is not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT3, and if the BB1 and BB2 are not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT5.

<RT1 (prepared state)>
Among RT0 to RT3, RT5, and RT7, RT1 is the RT having the lowest probability of winning the re-game combination next to RT0.

The winning combinations in RT1 include condition device numbers 1 to 17, 19 to 21, and 25 to 32.

In FIG. 10, when RT1 is set and a promotion replay (replaying combination 3 to 5) is won, it shifts to RT2, when it wins RB, it shifts to RT4, and when it wins BB1 and BB2, it shifts to RT6. Is shown. Further, it is shown that if the RB is not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT3, and if the BB1 and BB2 are not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT5.

<RT2 (replay high probability state)>
RT2 has a higher probability of winning a replay role than RT0 and RT1, and is an RT that is more advantageous than RT0 and RT1.

The winning combination in RT2 includes condition device numbers 1 to 18 and 22 to 32.

In FIG. 10, when the bell is spilled while RT2 is set, it shifts to RT1, when it wins the fall replay (replaying roles 6 to 10), it shifts to RT0, and when it wins RB, it shifts to RT4. It is shown that if you win BB1 and BB2, you will move to RT6. Further, it is shown that if the RB is not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT3, and if the BB1 and BB2 are not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT5.

<RT3 (in RB state)>
RT3 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to RB is set to ON. This RT3 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to shift to RT4 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning a replay combination than RT0.

The winning combination in RT3 includes condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34. Actually, the condition device numbers 1 to 16 may also be selected, but since they are replaced with the condition device numbers corresponding to those excluding BB1, BB2, and RB, the condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34 are replaced as a result. Will be selected. In FIGS. 11 and 12, the value of the lottery value in consideration of this is shown. If the winning combination is not internally won in RT3 (in the case of loss), the player can display the symbol combination corresponding to the RB by performing a stop operation at a predetermined timing.

FIG. 10 shows that when the RB is won in RT3 (when the symbol combination corresponding to the RB is displayed), the transition to RT4 is performed.

<RT4 (RB operating state)>
RT4 is an advantageous RT in which the probability of internal winning of the common bell (small winning combination 23) is higher than that of other RTs other than RT6, and medals can be easily obtained.

The only winning combination in RT4 is the condition device number 32. The common bell that is internally won by the condition device number 32 is a role that wins the bell regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is performed.

FIG. 10 shows that RT4 shifts to RT7 when the specified number (105 sheets, see the remarks column of FIG. 6) is paid out.

In this embodiment, the RT4 ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed, but for example, one that ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). It may be terminated when a prize is won (times) or when a predetermined number of games (for example, 6 times) are played.

<RT5 (in BB state)>
RT5 is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to either BB1 or BB2 is set to ON. This RT5 is more advantageous than RT0 because it is easier to shift to RT6 than RT0 and has a higher probability of winning a replay combination than RT0.

The winning combination in RT5 includes condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34. Actually, the condition device numbers 1 to 16 may also be selected, but since they are replaced with the condition device numbers corresponding to those excluding BB1, BB2, and RB, the condition device numbers 17, 25 to 34 are replaced as a result. Will be selected. In FIGS. 11 and 12, the value of the lottery value in consideration of this is shown. If the winning combination is not internally won in RT5 (in the case of loss), the player performs a stop operation at a predetermined timing to correspond to BB1 or BB2 corresponding to the internal winning flag set to ON. The symbol combination can be displayed.

FIG. 10 shows that when either BB1 or BB2 is won in RT5 (when the symbol combination corresponding to either BB1 or BB2 is displayed), the transition to RT6 is performed.

<RT6 (BB operating state)>
RT6 is an advantageous RT in which the probability of internal winning of the common bell (small winning combination 23) is higher than that of other RTs other than RT4, and medals can be easily obtained. In addition, it is the most advantageous RT because it continues until more payouts are made than RT4.

Only the condition device number 32 is the winning combination in RT5. The common bell that is internally won by the condition device number 32 is a role that wins the bell regardless of the operation conditions (operation timing, operation order) when the internal winning is performed.

FIG. 10 shows that RT6 shifts to RT7 when a specified number of payouts is made. This specified number is 300 when winning BB1 and shifting to RT6, and 200 when winning BB2 and shifting to RT6.

In this embodiment, the RT6 ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed, but for example, one that ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 8). It may be terminated when a prize is won (times) or when a predetermined number of games (for example, 6 times) are played.

<RT7 (RT after bonus)>
RT7 has a higher probability of winning a replay role than RT0 and RT1, and is an RT that is more advantageous than RT0 and RT1.

The winning combination in RT7 includes condition device numbers 1 to 17 and 25 to 32.

In FIG. 10, when the bell is spilled while RT7 is set, it shifts to RT1, when 15 games are completed, it shifts to RT0, when it wins RB, it shifts to RT4, and when it wins BB1 and BB2. It has been shown to move to RT6. Further, it is shown that if the RB is not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT3, and if the BB1 and BB2 are not won in the internally won game, it shifts to RT5.

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, apart from the RT described above, the state of the game is managed separately in the state A and the state B. Of these, in state B, notification of the stop operation order for the internally won combination (hereinafter, may be referred to as operation navigation) is permitted, and in state A, this operation navigation is not displayed. However, in the state B, the operation navigation is not always displayed when the push order replay or the push order bell is internally won, and the operation navigation may not be displayed depending on the conditions.

In this embodiment, a lottery for transition to state B (see FIG. 17) is executed based on the winning combination, and as a result, the state B is set in the precursor, CZ (chance zone), and AR (assist replay) described later. It is configured as follows. The state B ends when these periods end, but if the push order bell operation navigation is not performed in the state B, the state B is configured to continue until the push order bell operation navigation is performed. Has been done. Further, in order to prevent the state B from inciting gambling due to the continuation of the state B for a long time, the state B is configured to be in the state A when the state B continues for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games). ing.

It should be noted that the state B may be reached even during the bonus operation (RT3 to 6) during the bonus operation (for example, when the number of AR rights is held). However, since the push order replay and the push order bell are not internally won during the bonus operation and the operation navigation is not displayed, the state A may be set during the bonus operation. Further, the configuration is not limited to the above, and the push order replay and the push order bell may be internally won during the bonus operation, and the operation navigation may be displayed.

In the present embodiment, these states are distinguished by using the state B flag. 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.

<AR state>
Next, the AR state will be described. In the following, the AR state may be simply referred to as AR.

In AR, when the push order replay and the push order bell (condition device numbers 19 to 24, 29 to 31) are internally won, the operation navigation showing the correct push order corresponding to each is displayed. However, in RT0 or RT7, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won. Note that this operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as "Aim for ...!", And the pressing order and timing. It may indicate both of. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push order bell may be referred to as a bell operation navigation.

In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, an AR lottery is performed in the lottery when transitioning from the state A to the state B, and if this is won, the number of AR rights is added. If the number of AR rights is not 0, AR will start via precursors and CZ. In addition, even if the AR lottery at the time of transition to state B is not won, the number of AR rights may be added before the end of the precursor or CZ, and in this case as well, the AR will pass through the precursor or CZ. Start. If the number of AR rights is not 0 at the end of the precursor or CZ (the number of precursor remaining games is 0), the number of AR rights is subtracted by 1 and the predetermined number of games (for example, 50) is set in the number of AR remaining games. AR starts (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

In the present embodiment, the number of AR remaining games is subtracted as the game progresses. Then, when the number of AR remaining games becomes 0, if the number of AR rights is larger than 0, a predetermined value (for example, 50) is set again for the number of AR remaining games, and if the number of AR rights is 0, from state B. It shifts to state A (initializes the parameters related to state B), and AR ends. If the bonus is operating (RT4, RT6) in the middle of AR, the subtraction of the remaining AR games will stop, and the subtraction will resume when RT7 is reached.

In addition, the configuration is not limited to the number of AR rights and the number of remaining AR games, and AR may be started and ended according to a predetermined condition (for example, when a specific gaming state is reached).

<Aura state and CZ state>
Next, the precursor state and the CZ state will be described. In the following, the precursor state may be simply referred to as a precursor, and the CZ state may be simply referred to as CZ.

In Aura and CZ, when the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won, a bell operation navigation indicating the corresponding correct push order is displayed. However, in RT0 or RT7, this bell operation navigation is not displayed. Further, in the precursor state, the bell operation navigation is not displayed until the number of operation navigation suppression games set at the time of transition to the state B elapses. Further, the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed through the precursor and the CZ is limited to a certain number (1 in the present embodiment), and the bell operation navigation is not displayed beyond this number. Note that this bell operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as "Aim for ...!", And the pressing order and It may indicate both timings. Further, although the precursor and the CZ adopt a configuration in which the operation navigation of the push order replay is not displayed, the operation navigation may also be displayed.

In the present embodiment, when the lottery for transition to the state B (see FIG. 17) is won, the precursor starts from the next game. This precursory period is set at the time of the transition lottery to the state B (see FIG. 14B). In addition, a lottery for the number of CZ games is performed at the time of the transition lottery to the state B, and if this is won, CZ starts after the omen. If there is a number of AR rights at the end of these precursors and CZ, AR will start.

In the precursor and CZ, an AR lottery may be performed according to the winning combination (step S1205 in FIG. 18). In this lottery, the same FIG. 14 (a) as in the transition to state B is used. In the case of the state B or later, since the AR lottery is not won unless the state B is entered, the actual acquisition probability of the number of AR rights is lower than the probability shown in FIG. 14A. However, in the precursor and CZ, the number of AR rights is added with the probability shown in FIG. 14 (b) (probability more advantageous than at the time of transition to state B). Further, an AR lottery (FIG. 14 (c)) is separately executed for the CZ added because the operation navigation is not displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the lottery for the number of CZ games is not won in the lottery at the time of transition to state B and the bell operation navigation is not displayed by the end of the precursor, the number of CZ games is obtained and CZ is started. It is configured so that it may occur (Fig. 23). Further, in this case, a lottery for the number of AR rights is also executed, and the number of AR rights may be added.

Further, when the bell operation navigation is not displayed through the precursor and the CZ, the number of AR rights is obtained (step S1619 in FIG. 22).

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

As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with 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 starts resetting by reset interruption and executes the main control unit main process shown in FIG. 15 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 is 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 according to the current RT, and an internal lottery (role lottery) is performed using this and the random number value acquired from the random number value generation circuit 316 to perform an internal lottery. Determine the 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, based on the result of the internal lottery, the process of setting the state B, the precursor, the chance zone (hereinafter, CZ), the AR lottery, and whether or not to display the operation navigation is 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, RT update processing is performed. In this process, RT is transitioned based on the conditions shown in the state transition diagram shown in FIG.

In step S121, the game state update process is performed. Here, the start preparation and end processing of the state B and the update of the status related to the state B are performed based on the result of the game. 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, with reference to FIG. 16, the details of the game start state processing (step S109) in the main control unit main processing of FIG. 15 will be described. FIG. 15 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 S1005.

In step S1003, the state B transition process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1007. The details of this state B transition process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S1005, the game start state B-related process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1007. The details of this state B transition process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S1007, 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 information on the condition device number, state B, bonus, precursor, CZ, and AR of the internally won combination (for example, status B flag, precursor flag, CZ flag, operation navigation suppression flag, and AR right. Information such as the number and the number of AR remaining games), the presence / absence of instruction information and its contents, etc. are included.

Next, the details of the state B transition process (step S1003) in the game start state process of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the state B transition process (step S1003) in FIG.

First, in step S1101, which is executed first, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the state B. In the present embodiment, lottery types, which are identification information when lottery is performed using each table shown in FIG. 14, are attached to some of the condition device numbers (see the lottery type columns in FIGS. 8 and 9). .. In this process, the lottery type corresponding to the internally won combination is referred to, and a lottery for whether or not to shift to the state B is executed using the table shown in FIG. 14 (a) (state in FIG. 14 (a)). See B migration probability). More specifically, for the condition device numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 to 11, 13 to 16, the lottery type A is referred to, and the state B is transferred with a 100% probability, and the condition device numbers 5, 6, 33. For 34, the lottery type B is referred to and the state B is shifted to the state B with a 100% probability, and for the condition device numbers 25 and 27, the lottery type C is referred to and the state B is shifted to the state B with a 100% probability. For the numbers 26 and 28, the lottery type D is referred to and the state B is entered with a probability of 50%. Conditional device numbers other than the above do not shift to state B (lottery type is not assigned). The allocation of lottery types in FIGS. 8 and 9 is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, condition device number 26 (weak cherry) and condition device number 28 (watermelon) have different winning probabilities between RT3 and RT5 and RT0 to RT2 and RT7, so if there is a problem in terms of rules, these conditions The lottery for transition to state B may not be performed for the device number. Further, the lottery for shifting to the state B may be performed when a condition device (for example, condition device numbers 3 and 12) having a setting difference (the winning probability differs depending on the setting) is won. Further, when the condition device having no setting difference is won, the winning probability to the state B may be different according to the set value at that time.

In step S1103, it is determined whether or not the lottery in step S1101 has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1105, and if not, the state B transition process ends.

In step S1105, 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 number of games that are in the state B does not exceed the value set here. 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 S1107, a lottery for whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1109. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 is referred to, and a lottery for whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed using FIG. 14A (see FIG. 14A) AR winning probability. ). Specifically, in the lottery type A, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 20% probability, and in the lottery type B, the AR right (the number of AR rights 3) is acquired with a 100% probability, and the lottery type C In, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 10% probability, and in the lottery type D, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 5% probability. When AR rights are acquired, the number of AR rights is added according to the acquired value. The number of AR rights to be acquired may be different depending on the set value.

In step S1109, a lottery for the number of CZ games is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1111. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 is referred to, and the lottery for the number of CZ games is executed using FIG. 14 (a) (see FIG. 14 (a) CZ winning probability). Specifically, the lottery type A has a 100% probability, the lottery type B has a 0% probability, the lottery type C has a 70% probability, and the lottery type D has a 50% probability. 3 is set. The value is not limited to this value and may be another constant, and the value may be determined by lottery from a plurality of values without being limited to the constant.

In step S1111, a lottery for the number of precursor games is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1111. Here, the same lottery type as the lottery type referred to in step S1101 is referred to, and the lottery for the number of precursor games is executed using the table of FIG. 14 (b) (see FIG. 14 (b)). Specifically, the number of precursor games of 6 to 20 games is won for each lottery type. It should be noted that the number of precursor games may be configured so that a constant is set.

In step S1113, the value of the number of precursor games won in step S1111 is set to the number of precursor games remaining.

In step S1115, the number of operation navigation suppression games is set. In the present embodiment, the number of operation navigation suppression games of 3 to 6 is set by lottery. However, in the bonus internal winning, 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games. If the bonus is internally won, the operation navigation suppression period may be set until the bonus is won. Further, for example, the sum of the number of CZ games and the number of precursor games may be set as the number of operation navigation suppression games, or the maximum value of the number of precursor games may be set as the number of operation navigation suppression games. As described above, the number of operation navigation suppression games is not limited to the constant, and may be other than the constant. Further, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set using the number of CZ games and the number of precursor games. Further, when a battle effect or a continuous effect is planned by the effect image display device 157 or the like, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set according to the number of games of the effect.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the details of the game start state B related process (step S1005) in the game start state process of FIG. 16 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game start state B related process (step S1005) in FIG.

First, in step S1201 executed first, it is determined whether or not the precursor flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1203, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1207.

In step S1203, it is determined whether or not the internally elected combination is the target of the AR right lottery. In the present embodiment, when there is a lottery type corresponding to the internal winning combination (one of A to D is described in the lottery type column of FIGS. 8 and 9), the internal winning combination is an AR right lottery. Is the target of. On the other hand, if there is no lottery type corresponding to the internal winning combination (there is a "-" in the lottery type column of FIGS. 8 and 9), the internal winning combination is not subject to the AR right lottery. If the internally winning combination is the target of the AR right lottery, the process proceeds to step S1205, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1209.

In step S1205, a lottery for whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1209. Here, the lottery type associated with the internal winning combination is referred to, and a lottery for whether or not to acquire the AR right is executed using FIG. 14 (a) (see FIG. 14 (a) AR winning probability). .. Specifically, in the lottery type A, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 20% probability, and in the lottery type B, the AR right (the number of AR rights 3) is acquired with a 100% probability, and the lottery type C In, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 10% probability, and in the lottery type D, the AR right (the number of AR rights 1) is acquired with a 5% probability. When AR rights are acquired, the number of AR rights is added according to the acquired value.

In step S1207, processing is executed when the state B is in the state B and not in the precursor (including the CZ). For example, the number of operation navigation suppression games is set by lottery according to the winning combination.

In step S1209, 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. 19, the details of the instruction information setting process (step S1209) in the game start state B related process of FIG. 18 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the instruction information setting process (step S1209) in FIG.

First, in step S1301 executed first, it is determined whether or not it is either RT4 or RT6 (during the bonus operation). If this condition is satisfied, the instruction information setting process is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1303.

In step S1303, it is determined whether or not the precursor flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1305, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1321.

In step S1305, it is determined whether or not it is RT0 or RT7. If this condition is satisfied, the instruction information setting process is terminated, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1307.

In step S1307, it is determined whether or not the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1309, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1309, it is determined whether or not the operation navigation suppression flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1311, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1311, it is determined whether or not the operation navigation guarantee flag is off. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1313, and if not, the instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1313, the bell correct answer pressing order is set in the instruction information, and this instruction information setting process ends.

In step S1321, instruction information for a period excluding precursors and CZ is set. For example, when the condition device numbers 19 to 24 and 29 to 31 are internally won, the correct push order is set in the instruction information. Even when the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won, nothing is set in the instruction information when it is RT0 or RT7 and when the operation navigation suppression flag is on. (The operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed).

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the details of the game state update process (step S121) in the main process of the main control unit of FIG. 15 will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state update process (step S121) in FIG.

First, in step S1401 executed first, it is determined whether or not the state B flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1403, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1421.

In step S1403, the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process is executed. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S1405, it is determined whether or not the precursor flag is on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1407, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1409.

In step S1407, the precursor and CZ intermediate processing is executed. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S1409, processing other than during the precursor and CZ is executed. For example, except during bonus operation (excluding RT4 and RT6), if the number of AR remaining games is not 0, this is subtracted by 1. In addition, when the number of AR remaining games becomes 0 and the AR right remains (the number of AR rights is larger than 0), the AR right is not in the bonus state or when the bonus is operating (other than RT3 to RT6). The number is subtracted by 1 and 50 is added to the number of AR remaining games. The value added as the number of AR remaining games is not limited to a constant, and may be determined by lottery. Further, when both the number of AR remaining games and the number of AR rights are 0, the state B end waiting flag is set to on.

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. 28 (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. 28 (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 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 ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of VRAM 518), etc. in the attribute register of VDP 516 based on the position information table, and then the image from ROM 506 to 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.

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 attributes based on the instructions stored in the attribute registers.

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.

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 a period of one game.

[Operation example (1): When an internal winning combination with a bonus is won]
FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when the player internally wins a winning combination with the bonus and shifts to the state B (a precursor is determined when the state B shifts). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 29, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the start operation of the second game internally wins the BB1 + chance (condition device number 2). In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type A).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery is not won and the number of CZ games of 3 games and the number of precursor games of 6 games are obtained. Further, 6 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process shifts from RT1 to RT5 in the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15) after processing such as medal payout. In the subsequent game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15), in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20), the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are obtained from the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above. Are set to on (step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command battles! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (d)). Further, the effect data is set so that the battle effect (see FIG. 38 (g)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 29 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the battle effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 29, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

Further, in the fifth game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or a bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that the bonus is confirmed at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 38 (h)).

Further, in the sixth game, the start operation of the start lever 135 executes a definite notification for displaying the internally won bonus symbol (FIG. 38 (m)). In response to this, in the sixth game, it is assumed that the symbol of the special role 1 is stopped at the winning line L1 (FIG. 38 (t)). As a result, in the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15), the process shifts from RT5 to RT6 (from the next game to RT6).

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the subsequent game state update process of the sixth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on by the operation of the bonus (step S1509 in FIG. 21).

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the sixth game, nothing changes because the number of remaining precursor games is not 0 (No determination in step S1601 in FIG. 22). ..

When the precursor and CZ processing is completed and the game status update process is returned, the bonus is activated, so that the number of remaining precursor games and the number of operation navigation suppression games are initialized to 0, and the CZ flag is set to off ( Step S1415 in FIG. 20). Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the sixth game, since the number of remaining precursor games and the number of operation navigation suppression games are 0, the precursor flag and operation navigation The suppression flag is set to off (step S1827, step S1837 in FIG. 24). By the above processing, the precursor and operation navigation suppression period scheduled after the next game (7th game) is cancelled. In addition, the CZ set at the end of the precursor and the navigation period 1 after the operation navigation suppression period are not set. In FIG. 29, these periods are shown with downward-sloping hatching.

Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that receives the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the bonus effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (7th game). FIG. 29 shows that the bonus effect starts from the seventh game.

If the AR right acquisition lottery (step S1107 in FIG. 17 and step S1205 in FIG. 18) is won at the time of transition to state B and during the precursory period and there is an AR right number, the AR will be displayed when the above bonus period ends. It is started (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

[Operation example (2): In the case of only precursors]
FIG. 30 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when the transition lottery of the state B is won and the lottery of CZ and AR is not won (a precursor is confirmed at the transition to the state B). This operation example is an example in which only the effect content is different from FIG. 33 (operation example (5)). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 30, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command battles! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (d)). Further, the effect data is set so that the battle effect (see FIG. 38 (g)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 30 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the battle effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 30, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

Further, in the fifth game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or a bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that the bonus has not been won at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 38 (i)).

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the normal effect (see FIG. 38 (a)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (sixth game). The production data is set. FIG. 30 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 and the normal effect start from the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is off) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , Step S3007 in FIG. 27 (a), see FIG. 38 (b)). In FIG. 30, it is shown that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game, and the operation navigation (middle 1st) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights. Is 0, so the state B end wait flag is set to on (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the state B end wait flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameters of state B are initialized (become state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the state A is returned from the next game (9th game), and the precursor and operation navigation period 1 ends. FIG. 30 shows that the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation period 1 end in the eighth game, and the state A (operation navigation impossible period) starts from the ninth game.

In this embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery during the omen (step S1205 in FIG. 18). Therefore, even if the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be larger than 0 at the end of the precursor. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the 8th game and the processing during CZ (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the precursor ends in the 8th game and AR starts from the 9th game. In this case, the state B is maintained even after the ninth game. Further, in AR, the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (operation navigation period 2), and the AR effect is executed.

[Operation example (3): When an internal winning combination with a bonus is won during AR]
FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when an internal winning combination with a bonus is won during AR. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and AR (state B flag on, precursor flag off, CZ flag off). In AR, it is a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In the first game of FIG. 31, it is shown that RT1, state B, and AR (operation navigation period 2). Further, the AR effect is executed as the effect at this time.

In this state, it is assumed that the start operation of the second game internally wins the BB1 + chance (condition device number 2). During AR, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set by lottery according to the winning combination (step S1207 in FIG. 18). Here, it is assumed that 6 is set for the number of operation navigation suppression games.

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process shifts from RT1 to RT5 in the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15) after processing such as medal payout. In the subsequent game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15), the operation navigation suppression flag is set to on in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) (step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the operation navigation suppression period starts from the next game (third game). In addition, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command battles! The effect that the characters of are displayed is executed. Further, the effect data is set so that the battle effect (see FIG. 38 (g)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 31 shows that the operation navigation suppression period and the battle effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). Step S1321 of 19). In FIG. 31, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because the operation navigation suppression period is reached.

Further, in the fifth game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or a bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that the bonus is confirmed at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 38 (h)).

Further, in the sixth game, the start operation of the start lever 135 executes a definite notification for displaying the internally won bonus symbol (FIG. 38 (m)). In response to this, in the sixth game, it is assumed that the symbol of the special role 1 is stopped at the winning line L1 (FIG. 38 (t)). As a result, in the RT update process (step S119 in FIG. 15), the process shifts from RT5 to RT6 (from the next game to RT6).

Further, when the bonus is activated, the number of operation navigation suppression games is initialized to 0 (step S1415 in FIG. 20), and the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20). (Step S1837 in FIG. 24). By the above processing, the operation navigation suppression period scheduled after the next game (7th game) is cancelled. In FIG. 31, this canceled period is shown by hatching that descends to the left.

Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that receives the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the bonus effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (7th game). FIG. 31 shows that the bonus effect starts from the seventh game.

When the bonus period ends, AR is started (step S1409 in FIG. 20).

[Operation example (4): When the operation navigation suppression period is set during AR]
FIG. 32 is a diagram showing an example of operation when the operation navigation suppression period is set during AR. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and AR (state B flag on, precursor flag off, CZ flag off). In AR, it is a period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In the first game of FIG. 32, it is shown that RT1, state B, and AR (operation navigation period 2). Further, the AR effect is executed as the effect at this time.

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. During AR, the number of operation navigation suppression games may be set by lottery according to the winning combination (step S1207 in FIG. 18). Here, it is assumed that 6 is set for the number of operation navigation suppression games.

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to on (step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the operation navigation suppression period starts from the next game (third game). In addition, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command battles! The effect that the characters of are displayed is executed. Further, the effect data is set so that the battle effect (see FIG. 38 (g)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 32 shows that the operation navigation suppression period and the battle effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). Step S1321 of 19). In FIG. 32, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

Further, in the fifth game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or a bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that the bonus has not been won at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 38 (i)).

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, the push order replay and the push order bell operation navigation will be displayed again from the next game (sixth game). Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that receives the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the AR effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (sixth game). FIG. 32 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 2 and the AR effect start from the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 2 (the operation navigation suppression flag is off), the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). In FIG. 32, it is shown that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game, and the operation navigation (middle 1st) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

When the number of AR rights and the number of remaining AR games become 0, AR ends and the state A is set (step S1409 in FIG. 20 and step S1811 in FIG. 24).

[About operation examples (1) to (4)]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, RT4 and RT6 are provided as a state advantageous to the player. When shifting to RT4 or RT6, RT3 or RT5 may be passed as a preceding step, and in the present embodiment, a precursor or CZ may be set in this preceding step (for example, the operation example of FIG. 29 (for example, the operation example of FIG. 29). 1)). On the other hand, a precursor or CZ may be set even when the transition to RT4 or RT6 is not performed (when a conditional device that does not include a special combination is internally elected) (for example, operation example (2) in FIG. 30). In these precursors and CZ, at least the operation navigation suppression period is set.

Further, in RT3 or RT5 in AR, although no precursor or CZ is provided, an operation navigation suppression period may be provided (for example, operation example (3) in FIG. 31). On the other hand, the operation navigation suppression period may be set even when the transition to RT4 or RT6 is not performed during AR (when a conditional device that does not include a special combination is internally elected) (for example, operation example (4) in FIG. 32). ).

That is, in both the case where the bonus is internally won (RT3 or RT5) and the case where the bonus is not internally won, not only the common action (active action (performs)) but also the negative action (~). It is configured so that) can occur (including not doing). Since the player who sees this common operation expects the start of RT4 or RT6, the interest of the game can be improved. From these effects, the period during which the above-mentioned common operation can occur is the predictive period for the start of RT4 or RT6 (hereinafter referred to as the bonus predictive period).

In the above bonus sign period, even if the number of medals decreases, it must be tolerated until the result is confirmed, so that the interest of the game may decline. Therefore, for example, when the push order bell is internally won in the bonus sign period, it is conceivable to suppress the decrease of medals in the bonus sign period by displaying the operation navigation. However, in the bonus sign period, various effects may be performed in order to expect a transition to RT4 or RT6. If the operation navigation is displayed during such an effect, it becomes difficult to grasp the effect, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will be diminished.

In the present embodiment, a configuration including an operation navigation suppression period and an operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR) is adopted in the bonus sign period (for example, operation examples (1) to (1) to (2) in FIGS. 4)). Since the operation navigation is not displayed during the operation navigation suppression period, it is possible to easily grasp the effect for enhancing the interest of the game. In addition, in the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR), the operation navigation is displayed when the push order bell is internally won, thereby suppressing the decrease in medals and preventing the interest of the game from diminishing. be able to.

If the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation period 1 that has been set once, and the operation navigation is extended (for example, the addition of CZ in the operation example (8) of FIG. 36 described later), AR is set. There is a case (for example, addition of AR in the operation example (9) of FIG. 37 described later), and this configuration provides an opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell. Further, in the state B including the precursor, CZ, and AR, when the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed at the end of the period of the precursor, CZ, and AR (when the operation navigation guarantee flag is off), It is possible to display the operation navigation of the push order bell, which guarantees the opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell.

In addition, if the navigation is not displayed even though the precursor period and the operation navigation 1 period are set together, the operation navigation of the push order bell can be performed by navigating during the normal production after the precursor period ends. It is also possible to secure the opportunity to display. However, in this configuration, the player may feel uncomfortable because the navigation is basically generated in the normal production in which the navigation is not displayed. In this embodiment, CZ is added when navigation does not occur during the operation navigation 1 period, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable, and AR and bonuses are expected by CZ production. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

If the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed (the operation navigation guarantee flag is off) and the system shifts to RT4 or RT6, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on at the time of transition (step in FIG. 21). Judgment of Yes in S1503). Therefore, for RT3 or RT5, the opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell is not always provided, but it is not disadvantageous to the player because the medal can be expected to be obtained.

In the case of RT3 or RT5, the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation period 2 during AR) may not be provided depending on the timing of transition to RT4 or RT6 (for example, the operation example (1) in FIG. 29). , Operation example (3) of FIG. 31). However, since it is expected that medals will be won in RT4 or RT6, even if such a configuration is adopted, it will not be disadvantageous to the player. That is, when there is little need to suppress the decrease in medals, the operation navigation period may not be provided in the bonus sign period. For example, in the case of RT3 or RT5, the operation navigation suppression period is maintained. It may be configured to be. Further, in this configuration, the player may know that the operation navigation of the push order bell is displayed and does not shift to RT4 or RT6, but at least during the operation navigation suppression period, whether or not the bonus is internally won is determined. It is possible to prevent the player from realizing it, and to give a sense of expectation. In this way, by including at least the operation navigation suppression period in the bonus sign period, it is possible to easily grasp the production for enhancing the interest of the game while raising the expectation.

In the above operation examples (1) to (4), the operation navigation suppression period is provided when the player is in an advantageous state (RT4 or RT6 in the present embodiment), and the operation navigation is also provided when the state is not advantageous. An example of a configuration in which this operation navigation suppression period is used as a predictive period for the above-mentioned advantageous state by providing a suppression period is described. In the present embodiment, the configuration using the bonus as an example of the above advantageous state has been described, but this advantageous state may be started as a result of the internal winning result, for example, AR, AT, ART. , Pseudo-bonus, etc. are not limited to the contents of advantageous states.

In addition, the internal winning result that triggers the setting of the operation navigation suppression period when the favorable state is not obtained is not particularly limited, and any internal winning combination may not be advantageous. With this configuration, the operation navigation suppression period can be used as a predictive period for an advantageous state.

Further, regarding the operation navigation suppression period, in the present embodiment, an example in which the operation navigation of the push order bell can be displayed and the operation navigation suppression flag is used to hide the operation navigation has been described. It is possible not to display this in a state where the navigation can be displayed, and the internal winning result that is the target of the operation navigation is not limited. In addition, a part of the executable operation navigation may be suppressed. Further, this operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as "Aim for ...!", And the pressing order and timing. It may indicate both of.

In addition, during the operation navigation suppression period, it is preferable that an effect that is expected to be in an advantageous state is executed.

Furthermore, the outcome in the game in which the internal winning result that is in an advantageous state is derived and the outcome in the game in which the internal winning result that triggers the operation navigation suppression period when the favorable state is not derived are common. It is preferable that the result may be. In this configuration, the series of operations during the operation navigation suppression period after this common result is the same depending on whether it is in an advantageous state or not, and the operation navigation is regulated by this common result. It is possible to notify the player that it will be done. In addition, it is possible to increase the expectation that the situation will be advantageous. For example, in FIGS. 29 to 32, the operations according to the condition device numbers 2 and 25 have been described, but in the game in which these condition devices are derived, the outcome shown in FIG. 38 (s) is derived as a common outcome. obtain.

[Operation example (5): In the case of only precursors]
FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when the transition lottery of the state B is won and the lottery of CZ and AR is not won (a precursor is confirmed at the transition to the state B). This operation example is an example in which only the effect content is different from FIG. 30 (operation example (2)). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 33, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command after these processes gives a chance! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (c)). Further, the effect data is set so that the precursor effect (see FIG. 38 (e)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 33 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the precursor effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 33, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. FIG. 33 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is off) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , Step S3007 in FIG. 27 (a), see FIG. 38 (f)). In FIG. 33, it is shown that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game, and the operation navigation (middle 1st) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights. Is 0, so the state B end wait flag is set to on (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the state B end wait flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameters of state B are initialized (become state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the state A is returned from the next game (9th game), and the precursor and operation navigation period 1 ends. Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the normal effect (see FIG. 38 (a)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). The production data is set. FIG. 33 shows that the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation period 1 end in the eighth game, and the state A (operation navigation impossible period) and the normal effect start from the ninth game, respectively.

In this embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery during the omen (step S1205 in FIG. 18). Therefore, even if the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be larger than 0 at the end of the precursor. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the 8th game and the processing during CZ (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the precursor ends in the 8th game and AR starts from the 9th game. In this case, the state B is maintained even after the ninth game. Further, in AR, the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (operation navigation period 2), and the AR effect is executed.

[Operation example (6): In the case of precursor and CZ]
FIG. 34 shows an example of the operation when the transition lottery of the state B is won, the number of CZ games of 3 games is obtained, and the lottery of AR is not won (the precursor and the CZ are confirmed at the transition to the state B). It is a figure. In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 34, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the number of CZ games of 3 games is acquired and the AR right acquisition lottery is not won. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command after these processes gives a chance! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (c)). Further, the effect data is set so that the precursor effect (see FIG. 38 (e)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 34 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the precursor effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 34, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. FIG. 34 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 starts from the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is off) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , Step S3007 in FIG. 27 (a), see FIG. 38 (f)). In FIG. 34, it is shown that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game, and the operation navigation (middle 1st) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

Further, in the precursory and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update processing of the eighth game, the number of precursory remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, and the number of CZ games is 3. , The CZ flag is set to on, and the number of CZ games is set in the number of precursory remaining games (step S1609, step S1611 in FIG. 22). As a result, CZ will start from the next game (9th game). The number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 38 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). The production data is set. FIG. 34 shows that the precursory and precursory effects end in the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effects start in the ninth game.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the 10th game. In the tenth game, the operation navigation period 1 is set (the operation navigation suppression flag is off), but the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on. In this case, even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won, the operation navigation is not displayed (No determination in step S1311 in FIG. 19 and No determination in step S3005 in FIG. 27 (a)). In the present embodiment, the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed in the operation navigation period 1 is limited to one by this configuration. In FIG. 34, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the 10th game, the operation navigation is not displayed.

In the eleventh game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge production is an production that announces whether or not AR or bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the 11th game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights. Is 0, so the state B end wait flag is set to on (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the 11th game, the state B end wait flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameters of state B are initialized (become state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the state A is returned from the next game (12th game), and the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 are completed.

Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the normal effect (see FIG. 38 (a)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (12th game). The production data is set. FIG. 34 shows that the states B, CZ, and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the state A (operation navigation impossible period) and the normal effect start from the 12th game, respectively.

In this embodiment, the number of AR rights may be added by lottery during the precursor and CZ (step S1205 in FIG. 18). Therefore, even if the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be larger than 0 at the end of CZ. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the 11th game and the processing during CZ (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the CZ ends in the 11th game and the AR starts in the 12th game. In this case, the state B is maintained even after the 12th game. Further, in AR, the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (operation navigation period 2), and the AR effect is executed.

[Operation example (7): In the case of precursor, CZ and AR]
FIG. 35 shows a case where the transition lottery of state B is won, the number of CZ games of 3 games is obtained, and the lottery of AR is won and the number of AR rights is 1. It is a figure which shows an example of the operation of (confirmation). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 35, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the number of CZ games of 3 games is acquired and the number of AR rights is acquired by 1. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command after these processes gives a chance! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (c)). Further, the effect data is set so that the precursor effect (see FIG. 38 (e)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 35 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the precursor effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 35, although the push order bell (condition device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. FIG. 35 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 starts in the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, and it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game. In the eighth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is off) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19). , Step S3007 in FIG. 27 (a), see FIG. 38 (f)). In FIG. 35, it is shown that the push order bell (condition device number 30) is internally won in the eighth game, and the operation navigation (middle 1st) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the eighth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

Further, in the precursory and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update processing of the eighth game, the number of precursory remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, and the number of CZ games is 3. , The CZ flag is set to on, and the number of CZ games is set in the number of precursory remaining games (step S1609, step S1611 in FIG. 22). As a result, CZ will start from the next game (9th game). The number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 38 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). The production data is set. FIG. 35 shows that the precursory and precursory effects are completed in the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effects are started in the ninth game.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the 10th game. In the tenth game, the operation navigation period 1 is set (the operation navigation suppression flag is off), but the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on. In this case, even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won, the operation navigation is not displayed (No determination in step S1311 in FIG. 19 and No determination in step S3005 in FIG. 27 (a)). In the present embodiment, the number of times the bell operation navigation is displayed in the operation navigation period 1 is limited to one by this configuration. In FIG. 35, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the 10th game, the operation navigation is not displayed.

In the eleventh game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge effect is an effect of notifying whether or not AR or a bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that AR will start at the timing of the third stop (FIG. 38 (l)).

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the 11th game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights. Since is 1, the CZ flag is set to off, and the setting for starting AR is performed (step S1615, step S1623 in FIG. 22).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process in the eleventh game, the precursor flag is set to off (step S1827 in FIG. 24). By the processing up to this point, when the state B flag is on, the precursor flag and the CZ flag are off, and the number of remaining AR games is not 0, AR will start from the next game (12th game). In AR, it is the period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed. Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that receives the game state update command after these processes sets the effect data so that the AR effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (12th game). FIG. 35 shows that the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the AR (operation navigation period 2) and the AR effect start from the 12th game, respectively.

[Operation example (8): When CZ is added]
FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when the transition lottery of the state B is won and the lottery of CZ and AR is not won (a precursor is confirmed at the transition to the state B). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 36, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command after these processes gives a chance! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (c)). Further, the effect data is set so that the precursor effect (see FIG. 38 (e)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 36 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the precursor effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 36, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. FIG. 36 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 starts in the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, but it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is not internally won during the 6 to 8 games (operation navigation period 1). In this case, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off. Then, in the precursory and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update processing of the eighth game, since the number of precursory remaining games is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the CZ additional determination processing is performed. Is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). In this process, since the bonus is not internally won, there are no AR rights or CZ games, and the CZ flag is off, a lottery for the number of AR rights is executed, and 3 is set for the number of CZ games. (Step S1709, step S1711 in FIG. 23). Here, it is assumed that the number of AR rights could not be acquired.

When the CZ addition determination process is completed and the process returns to the precursor and CZ intermediate processes, the CZ flag is set to on because the number of CZ games is 3, and the number of CZ games is set to the number of precursor remaining games (FIG. 22). Step S1609, step S1611). As a result, CZ will start from the next game (9th game). The number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 38 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). The production data is set. FIG. 36 shows that the precursory and precursory effects end in the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effects start in the ninth game. In FIG. 36, the notation of CZ (additional) is used, which indicates that this CZ is added later because the operation navigation is not displayed.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (condition device number 31) is internally won in the 10th game. In the tenth game, since the operation navigation period 1 (operation navigation suppression flag is off) and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the operation navigation indicating the correct pressing order is displayed (step S1313 in FIG. 19, FIG. 27 (a), step S3007, see FIG. 38 (k)). In FIG. 36, it is shown that the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the 10th game, and the operation navigation (1st on the right) indicating the correct push order is displayed.

In the operation navigation guarantee flag setting process (step S1403 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the tenth game, the operation navigation guarantee flag is set to on when the operation navigation is displayed (step in FIG. 21). S1509).

In the eleventh game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge production is an production that announces whether or not AR or bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

Further, in the precursor and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the 11th game, the number of precursor remaining games is 0, the operation navigation guarantee flag is on, the number of CZ games is 0, and the number of AR rights. Is 0, so the state B end wait flag is set to on (step S1625 in FIG. 22).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the 11th game, the state B end wait flag is on and the operation navigation guarantee flag is on. , The parameters of state B are initialized (become state A). In this process, the precursor, CZ, and AR parameters are also initialized. As a result, the state A is returned from the next game (12th game), and the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 are completed.

Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the normal effect (see FIG. 38 (a)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (12th game). The production data is set. FIG. 36 shows that the states B, CZ, and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the state A (operation navigation impossible period) and the normal effect start from the 12th game, respectively.

In the above operation, the number of AR rights is 0 at the end of the 8th game, but the number of AR rights is added by lottery during the CZ addition determination process of the 8th game and the CZ of the 9th to 11th games. In some cases (step S1709 in FIG. 23, step S1205 in FIG. 18). Therefore, even if the number of AR rights is 0 at the time of transition to state B, the number of AR rights may be larger than 0 at the end of CZ. In the above example, if the number of AR rights is not 0 in the precursor of the 11th game and the processing during CZ (step S1407 in FIG. 20), the CZ ends in the 11th game and the AR starts in the 12th game. In this case, the state B is maintained even after the 12th game. Further, in AR, the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed (operation navigation period 2), and the AR effect is executed.

[Operation example (9): When CZ and AR are added]
FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of an operation when the transition lottery of the state B is won and the lottery of CZ and AR is not won (a precursor is confirmed at the transition to the state B). In this example, it is assumed that the initial states are RT1 and state A (state B flag off). In this state A, the operation navigation is not displayed (Yes determination, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are not executed in step S1001 of FIG. 16). In the first game of FIG. 37, in addition to being in RT1 and state A, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed (operation navigation impossible period) due to the state A. As the effect at this time, a normal effect is executed (see FIG. 38 (a)).

In this state, it is assumed that the second game is started and the chance (conditional device number 25) is internally won. In this case, in the state B transition lottery (step S1101 in FIG. 17), the state B transition lottery is won with a 100% probability (FIG. 14 (a), lottery type C).

When the state B transition lottery is won, the number of games that can be continued in the state B is first set, and then the AR right acquisition lottery, the CZ game number lottery, and the precursor game number lottery (step S1105, step S1107, step S1109, step of FIG. 17). S1111) is executed. In this example, it is assumed that the AR right acquisition lottery and the CZ game number lottery are not won. As for the number of precursor games, it is assumed that 6 precursor games have been obtained, and 3 is set as the number of operation navigation suppression games (step S1115 in FIG. 17).

After that, when the game progresses and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the game state update process (step S121 in FIG. 15) is executed after the process such as paying out medals. In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in this process, the state B flag, the precursor flag, and the operation navigation suppression flag are each set to on based on the results of the state B transition lottery and the like described above (step S1423 in FIG. 20). Step S1815, step S1825, step S1835 in FIG. 24). As a result, the state B, the precursor, and the operation navigation suppression period start from the next game (third game), respectively. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 that received the game state update command after these processes gives a chance! The effect of displaying the characters of is executed (see FIG. 38 (c)). Further, the effect data is set so that the precursor effect (see FIG. 38 (e)) is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (third game). FIG. 37 shows that the state B, the precursor, the operation navigation suppression period, and the precursor effect start from the third game, respectively.

After that, it is assumed that the game progresses and the push order bell (conditional device number 31) is internally won in the fifth game. However, in the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression period still continues, and in this operation navigation suppression period, the operation navigation is not displayed even if the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is internally won (Fig.). No determination in step S1309 of 19 and No determination in step S3005 of FIG. 27 (a). In FIG. 37, although the push order bell (conditional device number 31) was internally won in the fifth game, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed because it is the operation navigation suppression period.

In the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process of the fifth game, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to off because the number of operation navigation suppression games becomes 0, and the operation navigation suppression flag is set. The period ends (step S1837 in FIG. 24). As a result, from the next game (sixth game), a period (operation navigation period 1) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell is possible a certain number of times starts. FIG. 37 shows that the operation navigation suppression period ends in the fifth game, and the operation navigation period 1 starts in the sixth game.

After that, the game progresses, but it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is not internally won during the 6 to 8 games (operation navigation period 1). In this case, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off. Then, in the precursory and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update processing of the eighth game, since the number of precursory remaining games is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the CZ additional determination processing is performed. Is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). In this process, since the bonus is not internally won, there are no AR rights or CZ games, and the CZ flag is off, a lottery for the number of AR rights is executed, and 3 is set for the number of CZ games. (Step S1709, step S1711 in FIG. 23). Here, it is assumed that the number of AR rights could not be obtained.

When the CZ addition determination process is completed and the process returns to the precursor and CZ intermediate processes, the CZ flag is set to on because the number of CZ games is 3, and the number of CZ games is set to the number of precursor remaining games (FIG. 22). Step S1609, step S1611). As a result, CZ will start from the next game (9th game). The number of CZ games is initialized to 0 (step S1613 in FIG. 22). Further, the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the game state update command after these processes starts the CZ effect (see FIG. 38 (j)) at the timing of the start operation of the next game (9th game). The production data is set. FIG. 37 shows that the precursory and precursory effects are completed in the eighth game, and the CZ and CZ effects are started in the ninth game. In FIG. 37, the notation of CZ (additional) is used, which indicates that this CZ is added later because the operation navigation is not displayed.

After that, the game progresses, but it is assumed that the push order bell (condition device numbers 29 to 31) is not internally won during the 9 to 11 games (operation navigation period 1). In this case as well, the operation navigation guarantee flag remains off.

In the eleventh game, the judge effect is set by the start operation of the start lever 135 (step S3009 in FIG. 27). This judge production is an production that announces whether or not AR or bonus has been won, but here, it is announced that there is no AR or bonus at the timing of the third stop.

Further, in the precursory and CZ intermediate processing (step S1407 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update processing of the eleventh game, since the number of precursory remaining games is 0 and the operation navigation guarantee flag is off, the CZ additional determination processing is performed. It is executed (step S1605 in FIG. 22). However, since the CZ flag is on, the CZ is not added again (No determination in step S1707 of FIG. 23). Then, when the CZ flag is set to off in the subsequent processing, 1 is added to the number of AR rights due to the operation navigation guarantee flag being off, and the setting for starting AR is performed (step in FIG. 22). S1615, step S1619, step S1623).

Further, in the state B update process (step S1423 in FIG. 20) executed in the game state update process in the eleventh game, the precursor flag is set to off (step S1827 in FIG. 24). By the processing up to this point, when the state B flag is on, the precursor flag and the CZ flag are off, and the number of remaining AR games is not 0, AR will start from the next game (12th game). In AR, it is the period (operation navigation period 2) in which the operation navigation of the push order bell and the push order replay is displayed. Further, after these processes, the first sub-control unit 400 that receives the game state update command executes a judge effect (an effect that overturns the judge effect at the time of the third stop operation) that announces that AR will start (the effect that overturns the judge effect at the time of the third stop operation). FIG. 38 (l)). Further, the effect data is set so that the AR effect is started at the timing of the start operation of the next game (12th game). FIG. 37 shows that the CZ and the operation navigation period 1 end in the 11th game, and the AR (operation navigation period 2) and the AR effect start from the 12th game, respectively. In FIG. 37, the notation of AR (additional) is used, which indicates that this AR was added later because the operation navigation was not displayed.

[About operation examples (5) to (9)]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, AR is provided as one of the advantageous states for the player. This AR is configured to be set after a waiting period, and in the present embodiment, a precursor or CZ is set in this waiting period (for example, operation example (7) in FIG. 35). ). Further, even when AR is not set (when it is not a standby period), a precursor or CZ may be set (for example, operation example (5) in FIG. 33, operation example (6) in FIG. 34). .. That is, in both the case where AR is set and the case where AR is not set, a common operation (not only a positive operation (does) but also a negative operation (does not perform)) occurs. It is configured to get. Since the player who sees this common movement expects the start of AR, the interest of the game can be improved. From these effects, the period during which the above common operation can occur is the predictive period for the start of AR (hereinafter referred to as the AR predictive period).

In the above AR sign period, even if the number of medals decreases, it must be tolerated until the result is confirmed, so that the interest of the game may decline. Therefore, for example, when the push order bell is internally won in the AR sign period, it is conceivable to suppress the decrease in medals in the AR sign period by displaying the operation navigation. However, in the AR sign period, various effects may be performed in order to expect the grant of AR. If the operation navigation is displayed during such an effect, it becomes difficult to grasp the effect, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will be diminished.

In this embodiment, an operation navigation suppression period and an operation navigation period 1 are provided in the AR sign period (precursor or CZ) (for example, operation examples (5) to (7) of FIGS. 33 to 35). .. Since the operation navigation is not displayed during the operation navigation suppression period, it is possible to easily grasp the effect for enhancing the interest of the game. Further, in the operation navigation period 1, by displaying the operation navigation when the push order bell is internally won, it is possible to suppress the decrease in medals and prevent the interest of the game from diminishing.

When the operation navigation is not displayed in the operation navigation period 1 once set, it is extended (for example, the addition of CZ in the operation example (8) of FIG. 36) and the AR is set (for example). For example, there is an addition of AR in the operation example (9) of FIG. 37), and this configuration provides an opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell. Further, in the state B including the precursor, CZ, and AR, when the operation navigation of the push order bell is not displayed at the end of the period of the precursor, CZ, and AR (when the operation navigation guarantee flag is off), It is possible to display the operation navigation of the push order bell, which guarantees the opportunity to display the operation navigation of the push order bell.

In addition, if the navigation is not displayed even though the precursor period and the operation navigation 1 period are set together, the operation navigation of the push order bell can be performed by navigating during the normal production after the precursor period ends. It is also possible to secure the opportunity to display. However, in this configuration, the player may feel uncomfortable because the navigation is basically generated in the normal production in which the navigation is not displayed. In this embodiment, CZ is added when navigation does not occur during the operation navigation 1 period, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable, and AR and bonuses are expected by CZ production. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

In the above configuration, the operation navigation suppression period and the operation navigation period 1 are combined in the precursor or CZ, but if the need to suppress the decrease in medals is low, the operation navigation is performed during the AR precursor period. Period 1 may not be provided. For example, when it is certain that AR is set, the operation navigation suppression period may be continued until AR is set. Since it is expected that medals will be won in AR, even if such a configuration is adopted, it will not be disadvantageous to the player. Further, in this configuration, the player may know that AR is not set because the operation navigation of the push order bell is displayed, but at least during the operation navigation suppression period, the player is informed of the presence or absence of AR setting. You can prevent them from being enlightened and give them a sense of expectation. In this way, by including at least the operation navigation suppression period in the AR sign period, it is possible to easily grasp the production for enhancing the interest of the game while raising the expectation. On the other hand, when it is highly necessary to suppress the decrease in medals, the operation navigation suppression period may not be provided in the AR sign period. That is, since at least the operation navigation period is provided in the AR sign period, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from diminishing due to the decrease in medals.

As described in the above operation examples (5) to (9), in the present embodiment, the operation navigation is displayed in the first period in which the operation navigation can be displayed (in the present embodiment, the operation navigation period 1 in the precursor). If there is no, set the second period (operation navigation period 1 by CZ) that allows the operation navigation to be displayed, and if the operation navigation is displayed, the second period that the operation navigation can be displayed. The configuration that does not set is adopted.

In the present embodiment, the operation navigation period 1 in the precursor corresponds to an example of the first period, but in this first period, for example, the probability of adding CZ or the number of AT games is higher than in the normal state. Any period can be adopted as long as the operation navigation can be executed. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which CZ is added as the second period is adopted, but this period may also be a period in which the operation navigation can be executed. For example, by extending the first period, the first period is used. The second period may be set, or the second period may be a period advantageous to the player as compared with the first period, such as an increase in the probability of adding the number of AT games.

Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the second period is provided following the first period has been described, but for example, the second period is provided with a predetermined number of games sandwiched from the first period. , The first period and the second period may be provided separately. When a second period is provided following the first period as in the present embodiment, the first effect (precursor effect in the present embodiment) executed during the first period is the first. By making the second production (CZ production in this embodiment) that ends according to the period and executed during the second period start according to the second period, the first production and the first production The player can easily grasp that the second period has started by the second production.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second period is more advantageous than the first period (in this embodiment, AR may be additionally won, FIG. 14 (c)). The difference in the advantage between the first period and the second period is not limited to this configuration, but the second period is set to be a more advantageous period than the first period as in the present embodiment. Therefore, it is possible for the player to easily maintain a sense of expectation.

[Modification example of repeating the operation navigation suppression period and operation navigation period during AR]
In the above embodiment, in the first period in which the operation navigation can be displayed, if the operation navigation is not displayed, the second period in which the operation navigation can be displayed is set, and the operation navigation is displayed. In this case, a configuration is adopted in which the second period during which the operation navigation can be displayed is not set (FIGS. 33 to 37, operation examples (5) to (9)). Hereinafter, a modification different from the above-described embodiment will be described with respect to the configuration in which the first period and the second period are adopted.

The modification described below adopts a configuration in which the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period are alternately provided in the AR. In this operation navigation period 2, when the push order bell and the push order replay are internally won, the operation navigation showing the correct operation order is displayed. Further, during the operation navigation suppression period, the display of the operation navigation when the push order bell is internally won is suppressed (step S1321 in FIG. 19). Further, in this modified example, when the number of times the operation navigation of the push order bell in the operation navigation period 2 is displayed does not reach the minimum number of times of display (1 time in the following example), the number of games in the operation navigation period 2 is added. doing.

FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example of the operation in the above modified example. This example shows the operation during AR, and it is assumed that it is RT2 and state B (state B flag on) throughout. In this example, the operation navigation period 2 of the three games and the operation navigation suppression period of the three games are alternately provided. In this operation navigation period 2, the number of sets is assigned to each section, such as the first set for the first time and the second set for the second time. Here, the first to third games correspond to the first set. However, the 7th to 9th games correspond to the second set.

In the first set, an effect including the display of the number of sets is executed as shown in FIG. 43 (a), but when the operation navigation is further displayed, FIG. 43 (a) is displayed as shown in FIG. 43 (b). ) Is added to the display of push order navigation. The second set is the same as the first set, and as shown in FIG. 43 (c), an effect including the display of the number of sets is executed, and when the operation navigation is further displayed, it is shown in FIG. 43 (d). As described above, in addition to the effect shown in FIG. 43 (c), the push order navigation is displayed. Further, during the operation navigation suppression period, as shown in FIG. 43 (e), an effect of displaying the characters "during a break" is executed.

In FIG. 39, it is shown that the push order bell is internally won and the operation navigation is displayed in each of the first set and the second set of the operation navigation period 2 (games 1, 2, and 8). Further, it is shown that the operation navigation is not displayed even though the push order bell is internally won during the operation navigation suppression period (5th and 10th games).

In the operation of FIG. 39, since the operation navigation has reached the minimum number of impressions in both the operation navigation period 2 of the first set and the second set, the operation navigation period 2 ends as scheduled.

FIG. 40 shows the operation when the operation navigation does not reach the minimum number of impressions in the operation navigation period 2 of the first set. In FIG. 40, although the first set was scheduled to be completed in the third game as in FIG. 39, the operation navigation does not reach the minimum number of impressions, so the operation navigation period 2 continues as it is without ending (operation navigation). 2 games added during the period). Then, in response to the display of the operation navigation of the push order bell in the fifth game, the operation navigation period 2 of the first set ends. In FIG. 40, a configuration is adopted in which the subsequent schedules are shifted by the number of games in the added operation navigation period 2.

FIG. 41 shows the operation when the operation navigation does not reach the minimum number of impressions in the operation navigation period 2 of the first set. In this example as well, as in the example of FIG. 40, the operation navigation period 2 of the first set scheduled to end in the third game continues as it is when the operation navigation does not reach the minimum number of impressions (operation navigation period 2 games are added). ), After that, it is shown that the operation navigation period 2 of the first set ends in response to the display of the operation navigation of the push order bell in the fifth game. In the example of FIG. 41, a configuration is adopted in which the operation navigation suppression period is reduced by the number of games in the added operation navigation period 2. Therefore, the schedules of the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period after the sixth game are the same as those in FIG. 39. The example of FIG. 41 differs from the example of FIG. 40 in this respect. If a configuration is adopted in which the operation navigation suppression period is reduced by the number of games in the added operation navigation period 2, the operation navigation suppression period may disappear. For example, as in the example of FIG. 42, when the operation navigation period 2 of the second set is started without ending the operation navigation period 2 of the first set, these operation navigation periods 2 are connected to one. become. In this case, the operation navigation period 2 of the second set may be configured to be treated as the first set, and in this case, the effect of the first set (same effect) may be performed.

Any number can be adopted as the number of games in the operation navigation period 2, the number of games in the operation navigation suppression period, and the minimum number of times the operation navigation is displayed. Further, the number of games may differ between the operation navigation period 2 and the operation navigation suppression period, and the number of games and the minimum number of games may be determined by lottery.

In adopting the configuration of the above modified example, for example, the number of remaining games in the operation navigation period is separately provided, and when the number of remaining games in this operation navigation period becomes 0, the operation navigation suppression flag is set to on. Further, a configuration such that the number of remaining games in the operation navigation period is set again when the operation navigation suppression flag is turned off may be added to the above-described embodiment.

In the modified example described with reference to FIGS. 39 to 43, if the operation navigation is not displayed in the first period (operation navigation period 2 in the modified example) in which the operation navigation can be displayed, the operation navigation is displayed. A configuration is adopted in which a possible second period (corresponding to an extension of the operation navigation period 2) is set, and when the operation navigation is displayed, the second period in which the operation navigation can be displayed is not set. In that respect, it is common to the configurations described in the operation examples (5) to (9). Furthermore, in this modification, the third period (operation navigation suppression period) in which operation navigation is not allowed is after the second period if there is a second period, and after the first period if there is no second period. , Each of which is provided, and after the third period, a new configuration is added in which the first period is set. As for this modification, the configurations described in the operation examples (5) to (9) may be combined as appropriate.
