With a storage means (for example, RAM of the main control unit 41 or the sub control unit 91) that can at least store the determination result of the advantageous state determining means and the ratio of the advantageous state determining means making a determination to control the advantageous state. With more
The storage means determines the determination result of the advantageous state determining means stored during the predetermined period and the ratio of determining to control the advantageous state even after the power supply of the game machine is stopped during the predetermined period. It is possible to continuously store (for example, a backup storage area is set in the RAM where the stored contents are held by the backup power supply).
The advantageous state control means determines the advantageous state determining means stored in the storage means when the power supply of the game machine is stopped and then the power supply of the game machine is restarted during the predetermined period. Based on the result, the advantageous state can be controlled (for example, the value of the ART winning flag returned by the main control unit 41 by executing the processes of steps S104 to S106 and S150 to S156, and the value of the remaining game number counter. It is possible to let the winning ART control when the remaining game counter becomes 0 based on),
The advantageous state determining means controls the advantageous state stored in the storage means when the power supply of the game machine is stopped and then the power supply of the game machine is restarted during the predetermined period. It is possible to determine whether or not to make a decision to control the advantageous state at the rate of performing the above (for example, based on the value of the cherry winning count counter that is restored by executing the process of step S102 executed by the main control unit 41. It is possible to draw an ART lottery at the ART winning rate),
When the power supply of the game machine is stopped and then the power supply of the game machine is restarted during the predetermined period, the specific effect executing means has the specific effect regardless of whether or not the advantage is set. (For example, the processes of steps S200 to S204 executed by the sub-control unit 91 may be executed).

According to such a configuration, it is possible not to regulate the execution of the specific effect depending on whether or not the advantage is set when the power supply of the game machine is stopped and then the power supply of the game machine is restarted during the predetermined period. It is more difficult for the player to recognize that the advantage is set when the power supply of the game machine is restarted than that of the game machine having the property.

It is driven based on the control by.

[About setting values]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery or the like described later. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is. The set value may be set in 3 steps such as 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, H (High), or 7 steps 1 to 7, and is not limited to 6 steps.

In order to change the set value, it is first necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37 with the front door 1b open. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, the setting value read from the RAM (not shown) of the main control unit 41 is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting is made by operating the reset / setting switch 38. It shifts to the setting change state (setting change mode) in which the value can be changed. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from setting 6, the setting returns to setting 1). .. Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the fixed display value (set value) is stored in the RAM, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed. At this time, a setting command (end) indicating the end of the setting change state is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, the address of the initialization target RAM at the end of the setting change is set, and the RAM is initialized. It should be noted that the set value may not be changed unless the front door 1b is open to prevent an illegal setting change when the front door 1b is not open. That is, the opening of the front door 1b, the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37, and the operation of the power switch 39 may be set as the start conditions of the setting change state. In this case, the set value change state may be maintained regardless of the opening and closing of the front door 1b until the setting key switch 37 is turned off. That is, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition of the setting change state, the opening and closing of the front door 1b does not have to be the end condition of the setting change state.

Further, in order to confirm the set value, after the game is completed, the front door 1b may be opened and the setting key switch 37 may be turned ON in a state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value display 24 displays the setting value read from the RAM to enter the setting confirmation state (setting confirmation mode) in which the setting value can be confirmed. Transition. In the setting confirmation state, the progress of the game is impossible, and by turning off the setting key switch 37, the setting confirmation state ends and the game returns to a state in which the progress is possible. As with the set value change state, the set value confirmation state also prevents the set value from being changed unless the front door 1b is open to prevent unauthorized setting confirmation when the front door 1b is not open. You may. That is, the opening of the front door 1b and the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37 may be the start conditions of the setting confirmation state. Further, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition of the set value confirmation state, the opening and closing of the front door 1b does not have to be the end condition of the set value confirmation state.

[About navigation notification and navigation production]
Further, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, when the ART lottery process based on the internal lottery result is won, the main control unit 41 notifies the player of the stop order which is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control ART (assist replay time) as an example of an advantageous state that is a feasible notification period. When the main control unit 41 is controlled by ART, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination according to the game state, and also transmits a push order command to the sub control unit 91. By doing so, the navigation effect is executed. The navigation target role according to the game state is, for example, a navigation target role in which push order replay and push order bell are common. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification and execute the navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in the normal state where the ART does not control the control.

The navigation notification of the present embodiment informs the player in an identifiable stop order by changing the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. The mode of the navigation notification is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode that the player can identify according to the winning situation. Further, the game auxiliary display 12 which is also used for notifications other than the navigation notification is not limited to the one, and the one which is executed by using a dedicated display may be used. In the navigation effect of the present embodiment, the stop order advantageous to the player notified by the navigation notification is displayed by displaying the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51, outputting the navigation illumination light from the effect effect LED 52, and the speaker 53. It is notified by the output of the navigation sound (navigation effect sound) from 54.

As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the stop order that is advantageous for the player is notified in an identifiable manner. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to control the ART when the lottery conditions are satisfied. Further, the main control unit 41 selects a predetermined number of games from a plurality of games at the end of ART, and continuously counts the number of games not controlled by ART from the end of ART. Then, the main control unit 41 controls the AT by winning the ART lottery process or when the number of games that are not continuously controlled by the ART reaches the specified number of games (so-called ceiling games).

[About game control processing]
Further, the main control unit 41 performs a game control process to control one game. In the game control process, first, the bet number setting and the BET process for credit settlement and bet number settlement are performed, and after the bet number is set, when the start operation is performed, whether or not to allow the generation of winning by random number lottery is performed. An internal lottery process to determine is performed. After the internal lottery, the reel rotation process is performed, and on the condition that the specified period (4.1 seconds) has passed from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game, the stop switch after the reel rotation starts and the speed becomes constant. The operation of 8L to 8R (stop operation) is enabled, and the rotation of the reel is stopped according to the stop operation. After the reel rotation process is completed, a winning determination process is performed to determine whether or not a winning or the like has occurred based on the symbol combination on the winning line. After the winning determination process is completed, the payout process is performed, medals are paid out or credits are added according to the occurrence of the winning, and the game state is changed according to the symbol combination on the winning line. As a result, the game control process for one game is completed, and the game control process for the next game is started.

[About production during the game]
Further, the main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery process during the execution of the internal lottery process, controls the ART when the ART is won, and performs the navigation notification and the navigation effect during the assigned number of ART navigation stocks. To control. The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment performs navigation notification when the navigation target combination is internally elected during ART control, and transmits a game state command, an internal lottery command, or the like to the sub control unit 91 for sub control. Let the part 91 execute the navigation effect. In this embodiment, an internal lottery is performed immediately after the start switch 7 is operated during ART control, and if the winning combination is internally won, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed before the reel rotation process. Is done. That is, if the navigation target combination is internally elected during ART control, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are performed immediately after the operation of the start switch 7. Further, in the present embodiment, unless the wait is in progress, the period from when the navigation notification or the navigation effect is performed until the reel rotation starts to become a constant speed rotation and the stop operation is enabled (the invalid period of the stop operation). Is preset to be controlled for a predetermined period of less than 1 second.
Further, the sub control unit 91 is based on various commands received from the main control unit 41, and is used to incite the above-mentioned navigation effects and various effects according to the game state (for example, a notice effect, an internal winning suggestion effect, a battle effect, etc.). It is possible to perform production, bonus confirmation production, bonus production, navigation production, demo production).

[About ART lottery and background image display]
The main control unit 41 performs the ART lottery process shown in FIG. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the cherry has been internally elected as an example of the special determination (step S101). In the present embodiment, the ART lottery is performed when the cherry is internally won, and the ratio (winning rate) of internally winning the cherry is set in advance to be 1/60. When the cherry is not internally elected (step S101; N), the main control unit 41 repeats the process of step S101, and when the cherry is internally elected (step S101; N), the ART lottery table shown in FIG. 6 is used. The ART lottery is performed (step S102), +1 is added to the value of the cherry winning number counter (step S103), and it is determined whether or not the ART has been won (step S104).

Here, the cherry winning count counter is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of times the cherry has been internally won, and +1 is added each time the cherry is internally won from the initial value of 0, and the number of remaining games described later. When the counter reaches 0, it is reset to 0. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the ART lottery table is a table in which the winning rate at the time of drawing ART is set. In the ART lottery table of the present embodiment, the winning rate of ART is set according to the value of the cherry winning number counter, and when the value of the cherry winning number counter is 0, the ART winning rate is 12.5% (1 /). 8) When the value of the cherry winning counter is 1, the ART winning rate is 50% (1/2), and when the cherry winning counter value is 2, the ART winning rate is 100% (1/1). Is preset.

Returning to FIG. 5, when the main control unit 41 wins the ART (step S104; Y), the ART winning flag is set to on (step S105), and the process ends. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not win the ART (step S104; N), the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10 (step S106), and the process ends. Here, the remaining game number counter is a counter (counting means) that counts the number of games after the cherry is internally won, the initial value is 0, and +10 is set each time the cherry is internally won. -1 is added each time one game is completed. That is, the remaining game number counter is set with a value of +10 when the cherry is internally won, and counts down for each game to count 10 games after the cherry is internally won.

Further, when the game state is the normal state (normal game state), the main control unit 41 performs the normal state game end processing shown in FIG. 7. The main control unit 41 updates the remaining game number counter in the ART lottery process by determining whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter is set to +10 after executing each process at the end of the game (not shown). It is determined whether or not the game has been broken (step S150). When the value of the remaining game number counter is not set (step S150; N), the main control unit 41 adds -1 to the value of the remaining game number counter and counts down (step S151). After the countdown, or when the value of the remaining game counter is set to +10 (step S150; Y), the main control unit 41 finally determines whether or not the value of the remaining game counter has become 0. It is determined whether or not 10 games have passed since the cherry was internally elected (step S152).

When the value of the remaining game number counter is not 0 (step S152; N), the main control unit 41 ends the process, and when the value of the remaining game number counter becomes 0 (step S152; Y), The cherry winning count counter is reset to 0 (step S153), and it is determined whether or not the ART winning flag is on (step S154). The main control unit 41 ends the process when the ART winning flag is off (step S154; N), and resets the ART winning flag to off when the ART winning flag is on (step S154; Y) (step S154; N). Step S155), ART control is started (step S156), and processing is terminated. Here, the ART winning flag is a flag indicating whether or not the ART has been won, and the initial value is off, and when the ART is won, the flag is turned on and reset to off when the control of the ART is started.

Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the background image display process shown in FIG. 8 when the gaming state is the normal state (normal gaming state). First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the main control unit 41 has received the return command to be transmitted when the main control unit 41 has recovered from the power failure or the setting command (end) to be transmitted after the setting has been changed. Determines whether or not has recovered from the power failure (step S200). When the sub-control unit 91 recovers from the power failure (step S200; Y), the sub-control unit 91 displays a background image of the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 before the power failure based on the control state stored in the backup area of the RAM. It is determined whether or not is the special background image 522-524 shown in FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E) (step S201). In order to control in this way, the RAMs of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment provide a backup storage area capable of holding the stored contents by being supplied with electric power by the backup power supply. When a power failure is detected based on the output of the power failure detection circuit, the control status of the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 set in the RAM, the value of the ART winning flag, and the cherry The value of the winning count counter, the value of the remaining game counter, etc. are stored in the backup storage area, respectively, and when the power supply to the slot machine 1 is started, the control state at the time when the power failure is detected can be restored. You can do it.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays a background image of any of a plurality of types of background images (521 to 524) based on the value of the cherry winning number counter. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 9 (B) when the value of the cherry winning count counter is 0, and when the value of the cherry winning counter is 1, FIG. 9 The special background image (high probability 1) 522 shown in (C) is displayed, and when the value of the cherry winning count counter is 2, the special background image (high probability 2) 523 shown in FIG. 9 (D) is displayed and the cherry is displayed. When the value of the winning count counter is 3 or more, the special background image (confirmed) 524 shown in FIG. 9 (E) is displayed. In the present embodiment, the normal background image 521, the special background image (high probability 1) 522, the special background image (high probability 2) 523, and the special background image (confirmed) 524 are one tree image and two. An image of a tree, an image of three trees, and an image of four trees are images provided in the upper left display area, respectively.
Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not any of the special background images 522 to 524 different from the normal background image 521 is displayed before the power failure.

Returning to FIG. 8, when any of the special background images 522 to 524 was displayed before the power failure (step S201; Y), the sub control unit 91 turned off the background image update flag (step S202), and the power was transmitted. The normal background image 521 shown in FIG. 9B is displayed as the background image to be displayed after the disconnection (step S202). Here, the background image update flag is a flag indicating whether or not the background image can be updated, the initial value is on, and the background image to be displayed after the power failure is restored is the special background image 522 before the power failure. It turns off when changing from ~ 524 to normal background image 521, and resets on when starting ART control. On the other hand, when the normal background image 521 is displayed before the power failure (step S201; N), the sub control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 without turning off the background image update flag (step S202).

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 has not recovered from the power failure (step S200; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the background image update flag is on (step S204). When the background image update flag is on (step S204; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the cherry winning count counter has been updated (step S205). In order to control in this way, the sub control unit 91 is provided with a cherry winning number counter like the main control unit 41, and is combined with the main control unit 41 based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. Similarly, the value of the cherry winning count counter is updated. When the cherry winning number counter is updated (step S205; Y), the sub control unit 91 updates the background image according to the value of the cherry winning number counter (step S206).

After updating the background image or displaying the normal background image 521 from the power failure recovery, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not ART control has been started based on the control state command received from the main control unit 41. Determine (step S207). In order to control in this way, the main control unit 41 transmits a control state command not only at the start of the game but also at the end of the game. When the control of ART is not started (step S207; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process and starts the control of ART (step S207; Y), the ART shown in FIG. 9 (A). The winning image is displayed (step S208), the background image update flag is reset to on (step S209), and the process ends.

On the other hand, in the sub control unit 91, when the cherry winning count counter is not updated (step S205; N), the displayed background image does not have the meter image 531 shown in FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E). It is determined whether or not the background image is 521 (step S210). Here, the meter image 531 is an image included in the special background image 522-524, and is a meter indicating the scale amount according to the value of the remaining game number counter in order to count down the 10 games from the cherry internal winning. It is an image. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays a meter image of 100% (10 scales) as the meter image 531 if the value of the remaining game counter is +10, and the value of the remaining game counter is subtracted by 1. An image of the meter reduced by 10% (1 scale) is displayed each time it is performed (see FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E)). In order to control in this way, the sub control unit 91 has the value of the remaining game number counter like the main control unit 41, and the main control unit 41 and the main control unit 41 based on the command received from the main control unit 41. Similarly, the value of the remaining game counter is updated.
Returning to FIG. 8, when the sub-control unit 91 is a normal background image 521 without the meter image 531 (step S210; Y), the process is completed and the sub-control unit 91 is a special background image 522-524 with the meter image 531 (step S210; Y). In step S210; N), the display of the meter image 531 of the special background image 522-524 is updated so as to be reduced by one game (one scale) (step S211), and the process ends.

[About battle production during ART control]
In the present embodiment, when the number of remaining ART games becomes 10 games or less during ART control, the main control unit 41 executes an ART game number addition lottery process for each game, and the sub control unit 91 performs a lottery process. Perform a battle production that fuels the winning by adding the number of ART games. The sub-control unit 91 performs the battle effect selection process shown in FIG. 10 while controlling to ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 operates the start switch 7 by the player based on the BET command received when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the start switch operation command received when the start switch 7 is operated, and the internal winning command. It is determined whether or not the reception has been performed (step S301). When the operation of the stop switch 7 is not accepted (step S301; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step 301, and when the operation of the stop switch 7 is accepted (step S301; Y). ), Based on the received game state command, it is determined whether or not ART is 10 games or less remaining (step S302). If the remaining 10 games or less (step S302; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and if the remaining 10 games or less (step S302; Y), the sub-control unit 91 sets the ART based on the received internal winning command or the like. It is determined whether or not the player has won the additional game (step S303). In the present embodiment, the rate of winning the ART additional lottery process (winning rate) is set in advance to be 20%.

When the sub-control unit 91 is elected by adding ART (step S303; Y), the sub-control unit 91 selects the effect pattern of the battle effect using the winning selection table shown in FIG. 11 (A) (step S304), and ends the process. To do. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not ART is one game remaining (step S305) when the ART addition is not won (step S303; N). When there is not one game remaining (step S305; N), the sub-control unit 91 selects a battle effect effect pattern using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11 (B) (step S306), and performs processing. When the game is finished and there is only one game left (step S305; N), the effect pattern of the battle effect is selected using the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11 (C) (step S307), and the process is ended. .. The winning selection table is a table in which the selection rate of the effect pattern of the battle effect when the player is elected in addition to the ART is set.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs the battle effect execution process shown in FIG. 15 while controlling to ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the ART is 10 games or less remaining and the production pattern of the battle effect is selected (step S351). When the effect pattern of the battle effect is not selected (step S351; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S351, and when the effect pattern of the battle effect is selected (step S351; Y), the battle starts. The image, that is, the battle start image 541 of the enemy character A or the battle start image 552 of the enemy character B is displayed (step S352), and is based on the stop operation command or the internal winning command received when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the stop operation, that is, any of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation has been accepted (step S353).

When the stop operation is not accepted (step S353; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S353, and when the stop operation is accepted (step S353; Y), the sub-control unit 91 responds to the selected effect pattern. The displayed image is updated (step S354), and the displayed image is a battle defeat image, that is, one of the first battle defeat image 543, the second battle defeat image 545, and the third battle defeat image 547. It is determined whether or not there is (step S355). When the displayed image is not a battle defeat image (step S355; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the displayed image is a battle victory image, that is, a third battle victory image 546 (step S356). .. The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the displayed image is a battle victory image (step S356; Y), and returns to the process of step S353 when the displayed image is not a battle victory image (step S356; N). Wait until the main control unit 41 accepts the stop operation until the battle defeat image or the battle victory image is displayed.

On the other hand, when the displayed image is a battle defeat image (step S355; Y), the sub-control unit 91 revives the selected production pattern from the battle production (defeat 1A). (Victory 1A) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 1B) to revival production (victory 1B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2A) to revival production (victory 2A) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (victory) 2B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B) ” Therefore, it is determined whether or not to execute the revival effect in the next game (step S357). When the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the resurrection effect in the next game (step S357; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process and executes the resurrection effect (step S357; Y), the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game. Is determined (step S358). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S358; N), the sub-control unit 9 repeats the process of step S358 until the start switch 7 is operated, and the start switch 7 is operated. When performed (step S358; Y), the resurrection start image 548 is displayed (step S359), and the resurrection victory image according to the selected production pattern (resurrection victory image 549 from the first battle defeat image, second battle defeat). The revival victory image 550 from the image and the revival victory image 551 from the third battle defeat image) are displayed (step S360), and the process ends.

[About the character selection screen during battle production]
Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the character selection process shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 while controlling to ART. First, the sub-control unit 91 displays a battle defeat image and determines whether or not the game has ended based on the received winning determination command or the like (step S401). When the sub-control unit 91 displays the battle defeat image and does not end the game (step S401; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S401 and displays the battle defeat image and does not end the game (step S401; N). S401; Y), the accepting image 571 is displayed (step S402), the illumination light of the effect LED (step S403) of the effect switch 56 (not shown) is turned on, and the effect pattern is restored from the "battle effect (defeat 1B)". Judging whether or not it is one of "Direction (Victory 1B)", "Battle production (Defeat 2B) to Resurrection production (Victory 2B)", and "Battle production (Defeat 3B) to Resurrection production (Victory 3B)". At the start of the next game, it is determined whether or not to execute the revival effect (step S404).

When executing the resurrection effect (step S404; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the start switch 7 of the next game has been operated (step S405). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S405; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S405 until the operation is performed, and the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is performed. When this is done (step S405; Y), the accepting image 571 is hidden (step S409), the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off (step S410), and the reception of the operation of the effect switch 56 is invalidated. (Step S411), and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the revival effect (step S404; Y), the sub-control unit 91 enables the reception of the operation of the effect switch 56 (step S406), and determines whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Determine (step S407). When the operation of the effect switch 56 is not accepted (step S407; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game has been performed (step S408). When the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S408; N), the sub control unit 91 repeats the processes of steps S407 and S408 until the effect switch 56 or the start switch 7 is operated. .. On the other hand, when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S408; Y), the sub-control unit 91 executes the processes of steps S409 to S411 described above and ends the process.

On the other hand, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (step S407; Y), the sub control unit 91 displays the character selection image 561 shown in FIG. 18 (step S412), and as shown in FIG. 17, the following It is determined whether or not the start switch 7 of the game is operated (step S413). Here, the character selection screen 561 is a screen for selecting one type of ally character from a plurality of types of ally characters. As shown in FIG. 18, the character selection screen 561 of the present embodiment includes images of ally character A, ally character B, and ally character C, an image of a frame surrounding one type of ally character, and "a ally character for battle production. It is a screen that includes each character image of "Please select", "Select with the cross key switch", and "Enter with the effect switch".

Returning to FIG. 17, when the start switch 7 of the next game is operated (step S413; Y), the sub-control unit 91 hides the character selection screen 561 (step S414), and steps S409 to S409 described above. The process of S411 is executed, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the start switch 7 of the next game is not operated (step S405; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation of the cross key switch (not shown) is accepted as the selection operation of the ally character. Determine (step S415). When the selection operation is accepted (step S415; Y), the sub-control unit 91 updates the display of the character selection screen by updating the display position of the frame image according to the selection operation (step S416), and steps. Returning to the process of S413, when the selection operation is not accepted (step S415; Y), it is determined whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted as the determination operation of the ally character (step S417).

When the determination operation is not accepted (step S415; N), the sub-control unit 91 returns to the process of step S413 and performs any operation of the start switch 7 of the next game, the selection operation, or the determination operation. The process of steps S413, S415, and S417 is repeated until the result is reached. On the other hand, when the determination operation is accepted (step S415; Y), the sub-control unit 91 sets to perform a battle effect with the selected ally character (step S418), and hides the character selection screen 561 (step). S419), returning to the process of step S407 and accepting the battle defeat image While the image 571 is being displayed, the production switch 56 is operated again to display the character selection screen 561 or the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game. The process of steps S407 and S408 is repeated until the above is performed.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the ratio of the main control unit 41 internally winning the cherry when the operation of the start switch 7 is received is 1/60. The internal lottery process is executed so as to be. Further, the main control unit 41 performs the first ART lottery so that the winning rate becomes 1/8 (normal probability) when the cherry is internally won at a rate of 1/60 in the normal state. At this time, the sub control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 as the background image of the effect. Further, at this time, if the ART is not won, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning rate between the next game and 10 games to 1/2 (high probability 1), and the sub control unit 91 changes the background image. The display of is changed to a special background image (high probability 1) 522. Although not shown, when the ART is won in the first ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART confirmation state (ART preparation state) between the next game and 10 games, and the sub control unit 91. Changes the display of the background image to the special background image (high probability 1) 522.

Further, when the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry at a rate of 1/60 in 10 games, the main control unit 41 draws the second ART with a winning rate of 1/2 (high probability 1). At this time, if the ART is not won, the main control unit 41 changes the ART winning rate between the next game and 10 games to 1/1 (high probability 2), and the sub control unit 91 displays the background image. Is changed to a special background image (high probability 2) 522. Although not shown, when the ART is won in the second ART lottery, the main control unit 41 controls the ART to the confirmed state until 10 games have passed since the previous cherry internal winning, and the sub control unit 91 , The display of the background image is changed to the special background image (high probability 1) 523.
In addition, when the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry at a rate of 1/60 in 10 games, the main control unit 41 draws the third ART with a winning rate of 1/1 (high probability 2) to make the ART. Let me win. At this time, the main control unit 41 controls the ART preparation state until 10 games have elapsed since the previous cherry internal winning, and the sub control unit 91 changes the display of the background image to the special background image (fixed) 524.

By doing so, by changing the background image of the production, the player can recognize that the cherry has been internally won, and at least whether the player has won the ART or the ART winning rate has been changed to a high probability. Since it can be recognized as one side, the player can recognize the current situation more than the slot machine, which does not suggest that the ART winning rate and the ART winning rate will be high due to the change of the background image of the production. The interest is improved.
In this embodiment, the ART lottery is performed only when the cherry is internally won, but the lottery is not limited to this, for example, when the rare role such as watermelon is internally won or when the bonus is internally won. Alternatively, the ART lottery may be performed even when a small role such as a normal bell or a normal replay is won. In this case, the ART winning rate may be set at a different rate depending on the small winning combination that was internally won.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 increases the ART winning rate for 10 games after the cherry is internally won.
By doing so, the suggestion content of the background image, that is, the background image is changed to the special background image 522-524, as compared with the slot machine that does not increase the ART winning rate for 10 games after the internal winning of the cherry. Then, pay attention to whether or not the player who can recognize whether the cherry is internally won and the ART is won or the ART winning rate is changed to a high probability is whether or not the cherry is internally won again for 10 games. The interest in the game will be further improved.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 raises the ART winning rate for 10 games after the cherry is internally won, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the cherry is internally won. The ART winning rate may be increased from the beginning to the time when the ART is won.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 draws an ART when the cherry is internally won, and after winning the ART, 10 games have passed since the previous cherry internal winning. It is controlled to the ART preparation state until it elapses, and it is controlled to ART at least by the time 10 games have passed from the internal winning of the cherry at the time of winning the ART.
By doing so, after the player who can recognize the suggestion content of the background image is changed to the special background image rather than the slot machine which is not controlled by ART by 10 games have passed since the cherry internal winning at the time of ART winning. Attention will be paid to whether or not the ART will be won over 10 games, and the interest of the game will be further improved.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the ART preparation state after winning the ART until 10 games have passed since the previous cherry internal winning, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example. After winning the ART, the ART may be controlled without controlling the ART preparation state.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the number of times the main control unit 41 internally wins the cherry again within 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning increases (the value of the cherry winning counter increases).
The ART winning rate is increasing.
By doing so, a game in which the suggestion content of the background image can be recognized as compared with the slot machine in which the ART winning rate does not increase as the number of times the cherry is internally won again increases in 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning. After the person is changed to the special background image, he will pay attention to whether or not he will win the cherry internally for 10 games, and the fun of the game will be further improved.
It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to increase the ART winning rate as the number of times the cherry is internally won again increases within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry, but the ART winning rate is not limited to this, for example. , The ART winning rate may be lowered as the number of times the cherry is internally won again increases within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry. Further, for example, the ART winning rate may be changed to an arbitrary ratio between 0% and 100% each time the cherry is internally won again within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry. That is, the ART winning rate may be drawn every time the cherry is internally elected again within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry.

In particular, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 wins the ART when the number of times the cherry is internally won again during 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning is 2 times (specified number of times). Make sure to win the ART with a rate of 100%.
By doing so, a game in which the suggestion content of the background image can be recognized more than the slot machine that does not allow the ART to win when the number of times the cherry is internally won again reaches a specific number during 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning. The player will pay attention to whether or not the cherry will be internally elected again for 10 games, and the interest of the game will be further improved.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sets the ART winning rate to 100% when the number of times the cherry is internally won again in 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning is 100%. It is not limited, and the ART winning rate does not have to be 100% until, for example, 3 times. Further, the ART winning rate may be set so as not to reach 100% even if the number of times the cherry is internally won again increases within 10 games from the previous internal winning of the cherry.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background image 522-524, and the player wins the previous cherry inside. It is possible to recognize the number of remaining games of 10 games from.
According to such a configuration, a player who can recognize the suggestion content of a specific effect rather than a slot machine which cannot recognize the number of remaining games of 10 games from the previous cherry internal winning will be again in the cherry for 10 games. Attention will be paid to whether or not the game will be won internally, and the interest of the game will be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the meter image 531 while displaying the special background image 522-524, but the effect of making it possible to specify the number of remaining games is not limited to this. For example, 10 production LEDs are provided to light the number of production LEDs according to the number of remaining games, or the number of remaining games is output as audio by the speakers 53 and 54, and a plurality of these three types of outputs are used. It may be identifiable.
As in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 preferably displays the meter image 531 when displaying the special background image 522-524, but is not limited to this, and displays the meter image 531. You don't have to.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is set after the power switch is restored by operating the setting key switch 37 and the power switch 39 by a clerk of a game store or the like with the front door 1b open. It is possible to change the set value by shifting to the change mode. Further, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 include a RAM in which a backup storage area in which the storage contents are held by the backup power supply is set, and the control state is set when the power failure is detected at the time of recovery from the power failure. It is possible to restore, it is possible to restore the background image of the production, the value of the ART winning flag, the value of the cherry winning count counter, and the value of the remaining game number counter. .. Therefore, the main control unit 41 draws ART at the ART winning rate based on the value of the returned cherry winning number counter, and remains based on the value of the returned ART winning flag and the value of the remaining game number counter. When the number of games counter becomes 0, it is possible to control the winning ART. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 displays the normal background image 521 as the background image of the effect after the power is restored, regardless of the restored control state and the value of the number of times the cherry is won.
By doing so, when a power failure occurs for 10 games after displaying the special background image 522-524, the special display before the power failure is displayed only when the set value is changed when the power failure is restored. It is more difficult for the player to recognize that the set value has been changed when the power is restored, as compared with the slot machine that changes the background images 522 to 524 to the normal background image 521.

Here, in a game store where a plurality of slot machines 1 are installed, the power of all slot machines 1 is turned off (power cut) after the store is closed, and the power of all slot machines 1 is turned on (power cut) when the store is opened. Return), and consider the case where the setting of the slot machine 1 is changed before the store opens. For example, before the store opens, one of the 20 slot machines 1 is changed to a lower setting than the previous business day, and the other is changed to a higher setting than the previous business day every business day. Think about the case where you are. The player tries to identify the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed because it is more likely that the net increase in medals can be increased if the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed can be identified (if it can be identified). .. Therefore, if the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed can be identified, the player will play the game only with the slot machine 1 whose setting has been changed, and the operating rate of the slot machine 1 whose setting has not been changed will decrease. However, there is a risk that the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 will decrease.

Further, in the conventional slot machine, when the setting is changed, the RAM of the main control unit and the sub control unit is initialized. For example, the bonus winning flag is initialized and the bonus state before the power failure is returned to the normal state. Or the production mode is returned from the special production mode to the normal production mode. For this reason, the player intentionally ends the game in a state of being controlled to a bonus state or a special production mode when the store is closed, and the bonus state returns to the normal state on the next business day, or a special production mode is normal. There is a problem that it is specified whether or not the setting has been changed by returning to the effect mode, and as described above, there is a risk that the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the amusement store may decrease.
On the other hand, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the background image to be displayed after the power failure is restored is the normal background image 521 regardless of whether or not the setting is changed at the time of the power failure recovery. Therefore, even if the background image displayed before the power failure is the special background image 522-524, the normal background image 521 is always displayed as the background image after the power failure is restored, so that the player returns to the power failure. It becomes impossible to identify that the set value was changed when the power was restored by the background image later. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the set value has been changed when the power is restored, and the decrease in the operating rate of the entire slot machine 1 of the game store can be reduced.

As in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the sub-control unit 91 sets the background image to be displayed after the power failure recovery to the normal background image 521 regardless of whether or not the setting is changed at the time of the power failure recovery. Not limited to this, for example, when the setting is changed when the power is restored, the background image displayed after the power is restored is set to the normal background image 521, and when the setting is not changed when the power is restored, the power is cut off. The background image displayed after the power failure may be the background image before the power failure, and the background image displayed after the power failure recovery is set to the normal background image 521 when the setting is not changed at the time of the power failure recovery. The background image to be displayed after the power failure is restored when the setting is changed may be the background image before the power failure.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main control unit 41 controls the ART, if the remaining ART is 10 games or less, the number of ART games is added to the lottery for each game. In addition, when the number of ART remaining games is 10 or less, the sub-control unit 91 adds the number of ART games for each game and executes a battle effect to fuel the winning. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 has "battle production (victory A)", "battle production (victory B)", "battle production (defeat 1A) to revival production (victory 1A)", and "battle production" as production patterns for battle production. From production (defeat 1B) to resurrection production (victory 1B) "," battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A) "," battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (victory 2B) "," battle production (defeat 2B) "Resurrection production (victory 3A) from defeat 3A", "Resurrection production (victory 3B) from battle production (defeat 3B)", "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)" Select from 14 types of production patterns: "defeat 2A)", "battle production (defeat 2B)", "battle production (defeat 3A)", and "battle production (defeat 3B)".

In the present embodiment, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 1A)" and "battle production (defeat 1B)" are the battle start images 541, 552, and the first battle after the start switch 7 operation and the first stop operation are accepted. The defeat images 543 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle was defeated after the battle production was advanced, and the lottery was not won by adding the number of ART games. In addition, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are the battle start images 541, 552, and the second after receiving the operation of the start switch 7, the first stop operation, and the second stop operation. The 1st battle continuation image 542 and the 2nd battle defeat image 545 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle was defeated after the battle production was advanced, and the lottery was not won by adding the number of ART games. In addition, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" are the battle start images after receiving the operation of the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation. 541, 552, 1st battle continuation image 542, 2nd battle continuation image 544, 3rd battle defeat image 547 are displayed in this order, and after proceeding with the battle production, the battle is defeated and the number of ART games is added and the lottery is not won. Suggest that. on the other hand. "Battle effect (victory A)" and "battle effect (victory B)" are battle start images 541, 552, and No. 1 after the start switch 7, the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation are accepted. The 1st battle continuation image 542, the 2nd battle continuation image 544, and the 3rd battle victory image 546 are displayed in this order to indicate that the battle is won and the lottery is won by adding the number of ART games after the battle production is advanced.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 uses the first non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11B when the ART is from the remaining 10 games to the remaining 2 games when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won. The effect pattern is selected, and the effect pattern is selected using the second non-winning selection table shown in FIG. 11 (C) only when ART is one game remaining. Then, in the first non-winning selection table, the production steps of "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)", and "battle production (defeat 2B)" While the selection rates are set to 20%, 25%, 15%, and 20%, respectively, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle production (defeat 1A)" and "battle production (defeat 1B)" , "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are all set to 0%. That is, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, the rate of "battle production (defeat 1A)" and "defeat 1A" is higher than that when ART is 1 game remaining. The production steps of "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)", and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are selected.

By doing so, if the battle effect is executed when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won, when the ART is 1 game remaining, the ART is the first from the remaining 10 games to the remaining 2 games. It is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games was not won after the reception of the 1st stop operation and the 2nd stop operation, and it becomes difficult to lose the expectation for the ART additional winning at an early stage. As a result, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, when ART is from 10 games remaining to 2 games remaining, "Battle production (defeat 1A)" is performed at a higher rate than when ART is 1 game remaining. Recognize the number of remaining games in ART rather than a slot machine where the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are selected and the battle production is not executed. It is possible to maintain the expectation of the player in the situation where there is only one game remaining in the ART that the player is paying attention to, and the interest of the game is improved.

In this embodiment, when the number of ART games remaining is 10 or less, the lottery is always performed with a winning rate of 20% regardless of the internal lottery result, but the lottery is not limited to this, and the ART is not limited to this. When the remaining 10 games or less, the lottery may be performed by adding the number of ART games at different winning rates. For example, the lottery may be performed at different winning rates depending on the result of the internal lottery. At this time, when the rare role such as cherry or watermelon is internally won, compared to when the normal small role such as bell or replay is internally won. The winning rate may be high. Further, for example, a lottery may be performed with different winning rates depending on the number of remaining games. At this time, the remaining 10 games (1st game), the remaining 9 games (2nd game), ..., The remaining 1 game (10th game) ) And the winning rate may increase as the number of remaining games decreases. Further, for example, the lottery may be performed at different winning rates according to the number of games given at the time of winning. At this time, the larger the number of games given at the time of winning (the more advantageous ART), the more the winning. The rate may be higher. In addition, in this embodiment, the lottery is performed by adding the number of ART games at a winning rate of 20% over 10 games, and about 89.3% (1- (0.8) 10 = 89.262 ...). The number of additional games of ART is won at the rate of, and ART is continued. However, the continuation rate of ART is not limited to this, and may be as low as about 20%, for example. In order to do so, when lottery is performed with different winning rates, each winning rate may be adjusted so as to have a preset continuation rate. In addition, when lottery is performed at different winning rates depending on the internal lottery result, the winning selection table, the first non-winning selection table, and the second non-winning selection table provided for each internal lottery result (for each small winning combination internally won) are provided. The effect pattern may be selected using the selection table. By doing so, for example, when the rare role is internally won, a production pattern in which the battle production continues until after the third stop can be selected at a higher rate than when the normal small role is internally won, or the normal small role can be selected. It is possible to make adjustments such as making it easier for the revival effect to be executed while it is difficult for the battle effect to continue until after the third stop by winning the role internally.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, the selection rate of the production steps of the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" is 30. % And 70% are set respectively, and if the number of ART games is not won and the ART is 1 game remaining, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" production steps are selected at a higher rate than the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)". It has become.
By doing so, if the battle effect is executed when the ART has only one game left and the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won, the first stop before the reception of the third stop operation is performed. It is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games was not won after the operation or the second stop operation was accepted, and it becomes difficult to lose the expectation for the additional winning of ART at an early stage. As a result, if the number of ART games is not added to the lottery and there is only one game left in the ART, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)" , Compared to slot machines where the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 3A)" and "Battle production (defeat 3B)" are selected at a higher rate than the production steps of "battle production (defeat 2B)" and the battle production is not executed. The player's expectation can be maintained in the situation where the player who is aware of the number of remaining ART games pays attention to the remaining 1 game of ART, and the interest of the game is improved.

In the present embodiment, when the number of remaining games is 10 or less, the number of ART games is added and a lottery is performed to execute the battle effect. However, the number of remaining games is not limited to 10 or less, and the number of remaining games is arbitrary. The number of ART games may be added to the lottery to perform a battle effect. For example, when the remaining 5 games or less or the remaining 15 games or less, the number of ART games may be added and a lottery may be performed to execute the battle effect.
In this embodiment, when the number of ART games is not added and the lottery is not won, the production of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)" is performed at a high rate when ART is 1 game remaining. Although the step is selected, the number of remaining games that the player pays attention to is not limited to the remaining 1 game, for example, the remaining 3 games or less, the specific number of games such as the remaining 5 games, and the number of remaining games. May be a multiple of 3 (9 games remaining, 6 games remaining, 3 games remaining).

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second non-winning selection table, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)", " The selection rate of the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 2B)" is set to 0%. That is, if the number of ART games is not added to the lottery and there is only one game left in the ART, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2A)", The production step of "Battle production (defeat 2B)" is not selected.
By doing this, if you have not won the lottery to add the number of ART games, and there is only one game left, "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)" The player who recognizes the number of remaining games of ART is paying attention to the ART rather than the slot machine where the production steps of "Defeat 2A)" and "Battle production (Defeat 2B)" are selected and the battle production may be executed. With only one game left, the player's expectation can be maintained, and the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, as in this embodiment, when the number of ART games is not won in the lottery and there is only one game left in the ART, "battle production (defeat 1A)", "battle production (defeat 1B)", and "battle" It is preferable that the production steps of "production (defeat 2A)" and "battle production (defeat 2B)" are not selected, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won. In some cases, when ART is 1 game left, the production steps of "Battle production (defeat 1A)", "Battle production (defeat 1B)", "Battle production (defeat 2A)", and "Battle production (defeat 2B)" are " It may be selected at a lower rate than the production steps of "battle production (defeat 3A)" and "battle production (defeat 3B)".

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the remaining ART is 10 games or less, a battle effect is executed for each game and a lottery is performed by adding the number of ART games.
By doing this, if the ART is 10 games or less remaining, the player will have 10 games or less remaining ART than the slot machine that does not execute a battle effect for each game or draw a lottery by adding the number of ART games. You will pay attention to the progress of each game, and the fun of the game will be further improved.
As in the present embodiment, when the remaining ART is 10 games or less, it is preferable that a battle effect is executed for each game and a lottery is performed with the number of ART games added, but the lottery is not limited to this, and for example, a plurality of games A lottery may be performed for each game by adding the number of ART games, and the battle effect may be executed as a continuous effect for each of the plurality of games.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation of the start switch 7 or the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R as the stop operation by the player is accepted, the production step of the battle effect is advanced. There is.
By doing so, the player will operate while paying attention to the progress of the production step of the battle production, so that the battle will occur when the operation of each switch 7, 8L, 8C, 8R by the player is accepted. The player becomes more interested in the operation of each switch 7, 8L, 8C, 8R and the progress of the production step of the battle production than the slot machine that does not advance the production step of the production, and the interest of the game is further improved.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to proceed with the production step of the battle effect when the operations of the switches 7, 8L, 8C, and 8R for advancing the game by the player are accepted. The effect is not limited, and for example, the effect step of the battle effect may be advanced when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted, and the effect step of the battle effect is received when each operation of the plurality of types of effect switches is accepted. May proceed.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the battle effects include "battle effect (victory A)" in which the enemy character A is displayed, "battle effect (defeat 1A) to resurrection effect (victory 1A)", and " From battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A) "," battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A) "," battle production (defeat 1A) "," battle production (defeat 2A) "," "Battle production (defeat 3A)" production pattern, "battle production (victory B)", "battle production (defeat 1B) to revival production (victory 1B)", "battle production (defeat 2B) to revival production (victory 2B)" ) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 1B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 2B) ”,“ Battle production (defeat 3B) ” You can select from any of the production patterns.

Here, in the present embodiment, since the winning rate of the lottery for adding the number of ART games for each game is set to 20%, the winning selection table shown in FIG. 11A is used to win the ART. The rate at which the effect pattern is selected is 20%, and the rate at which the effect pattern is selected using the first non-winning selection table or the first non-winning selection table without winning the ART is 80%. In particular, if the ART is not won, the ratio of the production pattern selected using the first non-winning selection table is 72% (0.8 × 0.9 = 0) when the number of remaining games is 10 to 2 games. .72), the ratio of the production pattern selected using the second non-winning selection table with one game remaining is 8% (0.8 × 0.1 = 0.08).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), the ratio of each effect pattern selected when ART is 10 games or less is 6% (0.3 ×) for “battle effect (victory A)”. 0.2 = 0.06), "Battle production (victory B)" is 4% (0.2 x 0.2 = 0.04). In addition, 3% (0.15 x 0.2 = 0.03) of "Battle production (defeat 1A) to resurrection production (victory 1A)" and "Battle production (defeat 1B) to resurrection production (victory 1B)" The selectivity is 2% (0.15 × 0.2 = 0.03). In addition, 2% (0.1 x 0.2 = 0.02) of "Battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A)" and "Battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (victory 2B)" It becomes 1% (0.05 × 0.2 = 0.01). In addition, "Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (win 3A)" was 1.4% (0.07 x 0.2 = 0.014), and "Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B)" Is 0.6% (0.03 × 0.2 = 0.006). In addition, "battle production (defeat 1A)" was 14.4% (0.2 x 0.72 = 0.144), and "battle production (defeat 1B)" was 18% (0.25 x 0.72 = 0). .18). In addition, "battle production (defeat 2A)" was 10.8% (0.15 x 0.72 = 0.108), and "battle production (defeat 2B)" was 14.4% (0.2 x 0.72). = 0.144). And "battle production (defeat 3A)" was 6% (0.05 x 0.72 + 0.3 x 0.08 = 0.06), and "battle production (defeat 3B)" was 16.4% (0.15). × 0.72 + 0.7 × 0.08 = 0.164).

Therefore, after receiving the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation depending on which of the enemy characters A and B is displayed when the battle start images 541 and 552 are displayed. The ratio of whether or not the production step progresses is different.
By doing so, when the battle start images 541 and 552 are displayed, the player pays attention to which enemy character, enemy character A or enemy character B, is displayed, and a plurality of types of types are displayed. The fun of the game is improved compared to the slot machine where the battle effect in which any one of the enemy characters is displayed is not executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), when the enemy character A is selected, the ratio (win rate) of winning the battle including the resurrection effect is about 28.4% ((0.06 + 0). .03 + 0.02 + 0.014) / (0.06 + 0.03 + 0.02 + 0.014 + 0.144 + 0.108 + 0.06) = 0.2844 ...) The winning percentage is about 13.5% ((0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.006) / (0.04 + 0.02 + 0.01 + 0.006 + 0.18 + 0.144 + 0.164) = 0.1347 ...), and the enemy When character A is selected, it is easier to win the battle than when enemy character B is selected.
By doing so, the player pays attention to whether or not the battle start image 541 of the enemy character A is displayed when the battle production is started, and among a plurality of types of enemy characters having different winning percentages. The fun of the game is improved compared to the slot machine where the battle effect in which any one of the enemy characters is displayed is not executed.

In the present embodiment, when the enemy character B is selected, the production step is likely to proceed until after the reception of the third stop operation at a higher rate than when the enemy character A is selected. The effect is not limited, and the production step may be facilitated until after the reception of the third stop operation at a higher rate than when the enemy character B is selected when the enemy character A is selected. In this case, in the present embodiment, when the enemy character A is selected, the winning rate is higher than when the enemy character B is selected. Therefore, if the production step can easily proceed until after the reception of the enemy character third stop operation is received. It is possible to further increase the expectation of the player to win by adding the number of ART games.

In this embodiment, two types of enemy characters (enemy character A and enemy character B) having different ease of progress of the production step and the winning percentage of the battle can be displayed in the battle production, but the production step progresses. It may be possible to display three or more types of enemy characters with different easiness and winning percentage of battle. In addition, one type of enemy character may be displayed in a plurality of types of display modes (for example, different clothes and hairstyles) in which the ease of progress of the production step and the winning percentage of the battle are different. Further, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that a plurality of types of enemy characters having different ease of progress of the production step and the winning percentage of the battle can be displayed in the battle production, but only one type of enemy character is the same. It may be possible to display only in the display mode.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a revival effect as an effect pattern of the battle effect, "from battle effect (defeat 1A) to revival effect (victory 1A)", "battle effect (battle effect). "Resurrection production (victory 1B) from defeat 1B)", "Resurrection production (victory 2A) from battle production (defeat 2A)", "Resurrection production (victory 2B) from battle production (defeat 2B)", "Battle production (defeat 3A)" ) To revival production (victory 3A) ”and“ battle production (defeat 3B) to revival production (victory 3B) ”. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20C, the ratio (selection rate) at which the resurrection effect is executed when the first battle defeat effect 543 is displayed after the reception of the first stop operation is about 13 .4% ((0.03 + 0.02) / (0.03 + 0.02 + 0.144 + 0.18) = 0.1336 ...), when the second battle defeat effect 545 is displayed after the reception of the second stop operation Approximately 10.6% ((0.02 + 0.01) / (0.02 + 0.01 + 0.108 + 0.144) = 0.1063 ...), after the reception of the third stop operation When the 3rd battle defeat effect 547 is displayed, the rate at which the resurrection effect is executed is approximately 8.2% ((0.014 + 0.006) / (0.014 + 0.006 + 0.06 + 0.164) = 0.0819.・ ・), And the ratio of the resurrection effect being executed after the reception is increased in the order of the third stop operation, the second stop operation, and the first stop operation.

By doing this, even after the battle defeat image is displayed and it is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games was not won, the revival effect is executed and it is suggested that the lottery for adding the number of ART games is won. The game can be expected by the player to be performed, and when the first battle defeat image 543 and the second battle defeat image 545, in which the revival effect is executed at a higher rate, are displayed, the revival effect is executed. People will expect more. As a result, no matter which battle defeat image is displayed, the player pays more attention to which battle defeat image is displayed than the slot machine that executes the revival effect at the same ratio, and the interest of the game is Is further improved.

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the resurrection effect being executed after the reception is high in the order of the third stop operation, the second stop operation, and the first stop operation is not limited to this, and for example, the first stop is performed. The rate at which the resurrection effect is executed after the reception may be increased in the order of the operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation.
Further, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the ratio of executing the revival effect differs depending on which battle defeat image is displayed, but the revival effect is performed at the same ratio regardless of which battle defeat image is displayed. You may do it.
Further, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the resurrection effect is executed even if the battle defeat image is displayed, but the resurrection effect may not be executed.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 "from the battle effect (defeat 1A) to the resurrection effect (victory 1A)" and "from the battle effect (defeat 1B) to the resurrection effect (victory 1B)". , "Battle production (defeat 2A) to resurrection production (victory 2A)", "Battle production (defeat 2B) to resurrection production (victory 2B)", the resurrection victory image 549 and 550 is displayed in the resurrection production. It will be a production in which a friendly character attacks and defeats multiple enemy characters with a special move. On the other hand, in the case of the production pattern of "Battle production (defeat 3A) to resurrection production (victory 3A)" and "Battle production (defeat 3B) to resurrection production (victory 3B)", the third battle defeat image in the resurrection production. The victorious image 551 is displayed and the ally character defeats the last enemy character with a normal attack. That is, when the progress of the effect step is stopped after the reception of the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the revival victory image is different from that when the effect step progresses until after the reception of the third stop operation.

By doing so, it is possible to execute the resurrection effect in a suitable effect mode according to the battle defeat image, which is different from the slot machine in which the resurrection victory image from each battle defeat image is the same image.
As in the present embodiment, when the progress of the production step is stopped after the reception of the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the revival victory image is different from the case where the production step progresses until after the reception of the third stop operation. It is preferable to make them different, but the resurrection victory image from each battle defeat image may be the same image (for example, an image in which a ally character defeats all enemy characters with a special move).

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the sub-control unit 91 does not win the lottery for adding the number of ART games, the battle defeat image (first battle defeat image 543, second battle defeat image 545, After the game ends with the third battle defeat image 547) displayed, when the operation of the production switch 56 is accepted, the character selection screen 561 is displayed and the ally character of the battle production can be selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted and the battle start image 541 is displayed, the first stop operation is accepted and the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third stop operation is accepted. After the game is finished, the accepting image 571 is displayed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is enabled, and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on. At this time, when the effect switch 56 is operated by the player, the character selection screen 561 is displayed, and when the operation of selecting / determining the ally character is performed, the first battle defeat image 543 returns to the displayed state again. It has become like. Although not shown, if the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted in this state, the operation of the effect switch 56 is invalidated and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the lottery with the number of ART games added, even if the production switch 56 is operated after the game ends with the battle victory image (third battle victory image 546) displayed. The character selection screen 561 is not displayed, and the ally character cannot be selected.
By doing so, the player becomes interested in performing the production switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed in the battle production, and either the battle defeat image or the battle victory image is displayed in the battle production. Regardless of whether it is displayed or not, when the production switch is operated, the character selection screen is displayed and a slot machine that allows selection of ally characters, and either a battle defeat image or a battle victory image is displayed in the battle production. Regardless of whether or not the effect switch is operated, the character selection screen is not displayed, and the fun of the game is improved compared to a slot machine in which the selection of ally characters is not possible.

Further, when the sub-control unit 91 wins the lottery with the number of ART games added, the battle defeat image is displayed not only after the game ends with the battle victory image (third battle victory image 546) displayed. Even after the game ends in this state, the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the effect switch 56 is operated, and the ally character cannot be selected. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted to operate the battle start image 541, the first stop operation is accepted, the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed, and the third stop is displayed. After the operation is accepted and the game is completed, the accepting image 571 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is lit, while the operation of the effect switch 56 remains disabled. There is. Therefore, even if the effect switch 56 is operated by the player, the character selection screen 561 is not displayed, the state in which the first battle defeat image 543 is displayed continues, and the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted. 548 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned off.

By doing so, if the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the player operates the effect switch 56 when the battle defeat image is displayed, the revival effect is executed in the next game. Can be recognized. As a result, the player becomes more interested in performing the production switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed in the battle production, and the battle defeat image is displayed when the resurrection production is executed in the next game. Even if the production switch is operated when the game is played, the fun of the game is improved compared to the slot machine that displays the character selection screen.
In the present embodiment, the display of the character selection screen 561 is permitted or restricted by enabling / disabling the reception of the operation of the production switch 56, but the display is not limited to this, and is for production. The reception of the operation of the switch 56 may be always enabled. In this case, when the revival effect is executed in the next game, it is necessary to control so that the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Further, for example, a configuration (lock mechanism) may be provided in which the pressing operation of the effect switch 56 is physically prohibited.

In the present embodiment, if the character is not won in the lottery for adding the number of ART games, the character receives the operation of the production switch 56 as an example of the predetermined operation after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. Although the selection screen 561 is displayed, the predetermined operation that is the display start condition of the character selection screen is not limited to this, and the player's operation on a new operation means such as an operation lever or a contact type touch panel is performed. When it is accepted, when the player's motion detection means such as motion capture detects the player's motion, or when the non-contact data reader detects a mobile phone or IC card with an IC chip held by the player. When this is done, the character selection screen 561 may be displayed.
In the present embodiment, the display control of the character selection screen 561 is performed as an example of the predetermined control when the operation of the effect switch 56 is received, but the predetermined control is not limited to this, and for example, the menu. It may be used as screen display control. In this case, on the menu screen, it may be possible to adjust the effect mode of the entire slot machine 1, adjust the volume, adjust the amount of illumination light, and the like. That is, the predetermined control is not limited to the control for setting the battle effect to be executed in the next game, and may be the control for setting the entire effect during the game including the battle effect. Further, when the display control of the menu screen is used, for example, the game history is displayed on the menu screen, and the two-dimensional code for transmitting the game history to the management server (management device) of the game system is displayed. May be possible. That is, the predetermined control is not limited to the control for setting the effect, and may be any control as long as the control is related to the game that can be executed by the player.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 can display the character selection image by operating the effect switch 56 after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. There is.
By doing so, the player can easily perform the operation of displaying the character selection image as compared with the slot machine that displays the character selection image by the operation of the operation means other than the effect switch.
It is preferable that the character selection image can be displayed by operating the effect switch 56 as in the present embodiment, but the character selection image can be displayed by operating an operation means other than the effect switch. May be good.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is not only after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the lottery for adding the number of ART games is not won. Even after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the number of ART games is added and the lottery is won, the image 571 is being accepted until the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted. The 56 production LEDs are turned on.
By doing so, not only when the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted and the character selection screen 561 is displayed, but also because the revival effect is executed in the next game, the effect switch 56 is operated. Even when the character selection screen 561 is not displayed, the accepting image 561 is displayed and the production LED of the production switch 56 is turned on, so that the revival production will be executed in the next game. Even a player who recognizes that the character selection screen 561 is not displayed even if the switch 56 is operated must operate the production switch 56 after the battle defeat image is displayed and the game is over. It becomes impossible to recognize whether or not the revival effect is executed.

As a result, the slot machine that does not display the accepting image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56 when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, or the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted. Sometimes the reception image 571 is displayed or the production LED of the production switch 56 is turned on, while the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed when the resurrection production is executed in the next game. The credibility of not winning the ART ride-up lottery when the battle defeat image is displayed rather than the slot machine that does not display the image 571 currently being accepted or turn on the production LED of the production switch 56. It can be made higher, and the player becomes more interested in operating the production switch 56 after the game is finished with the battle defeat image displayed, and the interest of the game is further improved.

In the present embodiment, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, the receiving image 571 is displayed and the effect LED of the effect switch 56 is turned on, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example. , Speakers 53 and 54 may also output audio to the effect that the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, and output only one of these three types of output, or output only one of these three types of output. You may do it.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to display the accepting image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56 regardless of whether or not the resurrection effect is executed in the next game. , Not limited to this, because the revival effect will be executed in the next game, the image 571 being accepted may be displayed or the effect LED of the effect switch 56 may be turned on when the operation of the effect switch 56 is not accepted. You don't have to. Further, even when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, it is not necessary to display the accepting image 571 or turn on the effect LED of the effect switch 56.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is revived when the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game by the player is accepted after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. Perform the production.
By doing so, the start switch is better than the slot machine where the start condition of the revival effect is that the player can accept the operation of the start switch of the next game after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed. Players will pay attention to performing the operation of 7, and the interest of the game will be further improved.
In the present embodiment, when the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game by the player is accepted after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed, the revival effect is executed, but the revival effect is executed. The start condition is not limited to this, and may be, for example, when a BET operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 or insertion of a medal) is accepted, or when an operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a battle effect for each game when the ART is 10 games or less remaining, and the battle defeat image is displayed. The character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the production switch 56 until the operation of the start switch 7 of the next game is accepted, provided that the battle production is also performed in the next game after the game is completed. It has become.
By doing this, if you change the ally character by displaying the character selection screen 561 after the game ends with the battle defeat image displayed, the battle production will be executed with the changed ally character from the next game. Therefore, the player can switch his / her mood from the next game.
In the present embodiment, the character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the production switch 56 for each game as long as the battle production is executed in the next game, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, the character selection screen 561 may be displayed by enabling the operation of the effect switch 56 for each battle effect. In this case, if the battle effect is a continuous effect over a plurality of games, the character selection screen 561 can be displayed by enabling the operation of the effect switch 56 for each of the plurality of games in which the battle effect ends.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits one type of internal winning command to the sub control unit 91, but a plurality of types of internal winning commands may be transmitted. For example, the main control unit 41 can specify the winning status of the first internal winning command and the general winning combination, which can specify the winning status of the special combination as the internal lottery result, as the internal winning command capable of specifying the internal lottery result. The internal winning command of 2 may be set, and the set command may be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. At this time, regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT, when the notification target combination is won, the fact that the notification target combination has been won can be specified, but the advantageous stop order cannot be specified. An internal winning command may be set.
By doing so, the common second internal winning command is transmitted regardless of whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the AT. Therefore, the process related to the transmission of the second internal winning command can be performed. Since it can be simplified and the advantageous stop order according to the internal lottery result is not specified from the second internal winning command, it is advantageous for the player in a state where the AT is not controlled even if the sub control unit 91 side is cheated. It is possible to prevent the stop order from being notified by the navigation effect.

Further, in this case, the main control unit 41 sets a different winning number for each internal lottery result in the RAM according to the internal lottery result, sets an internal winning flag, navigates, and commands according to the set winning number. It may be configured to create, stop control of reels 2L, 2C, 2R, etc., and the winning number when the notification target combination is won as the internal winning result is a predetermined numerical range (push order replay as the notification target combination). Consecutive numerical values consisting of winning numbers 2 to 19 and pushing order bell winning numbers 23 to 34) may be assigned. At this time, in the main control unit 41, the winning number set in the RAM is in the predetermined numerical range (2 to 19, 23 to 34) in a state other than the state in which the navigation notification is executed while being controlled by the AT. At this time, a second internal winning command is set, and the set second internal winning command cannot be specified, although it is possible to specify that the winning combination has been notified, and the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified. May be sent to.
By doing so, regardless of whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the AT, the stop order advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result is specified from the second internal winning command. Therefore, even if the sub-control unit 91 side is cheated, it is possible to prevent the player from being notified of the stop order advantageous to the player by the navigation effect in a state where the AT is not controlled. Further, as the winning number set when the internal lottery result becomes the notification target combination, a continuous numerical value consisting of a predetermined numerical range is assigned, and the main control unit 41 uses the internal lottery result as the notification target combination. Since it can be determined whether or not the winning number used when performing the predetermined control is within the predetermined numerical range assigned to the notification target combination, the second internal winning command is transmitted. The processing when doing so can be simplified.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of specifying the control state to the sub control unit 91 only once for each game, but it may be transmitted a plurality of times. For example, the main control unit 41 receives the operation of the start switch 7 as the first timing in the one-unit game (at the start of the game) and after receiving the third stop operation as the second timing (end of the game). At the time), a control state command including a plurality of types of commands capable of specifying the control state of the game on the main control unit 41 side may be transmitted to the sub control unit 91. At this time, the control state command is a first control capable of specifying a control state that does not change at the first timing and the second timing, that is, a control state that does not change at a plurality of timings in one unit of the game. The control state command 2 as a state command and the control state that can change at the first timing and the second timing, that is, the second control state that can change at a plurality of timings in one unit of the game can be specified. The control state command 1 may be included as the control state command of the above, and the main control unit 41 executes a common control state command batch setting process at both the first timing and the second timing to control the control state. All commands included in the command may be sent.
By doing so, the process when the main control unit 41 transmits the control state command is performed while the sub control unit 91 side grasps the control state on the main control unit 41 side in detail based on the control state command. The program capacity for doing this can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the operation procedure advantageous to the player can be identified by both the navigation notification controlled by the main control unit 41 side and the navigation effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 side. The operation procedure advantageous to the player may be identified only by the navigation effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 side. Further, for example, by controlling the navigation effect controlled by the sub control unit 91 side by the main control unit 41 side, it is possible to identify an operation procedure advantageous to the player only by the navigation effect controlled by the main control unit 41 side. It can also be configured.
In the above embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls ART and the like as a privilege advantageous to the player, but the sub control unit 91 controls a part or all of the control related to the privilege advantageous to the player. It may be configured to be performed.
