Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachislot machine.

Conventionally, when a game medium such as a medal or a coin is inserted by a player (hereinafter referred to as "insertion operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are respectively inserted. When the rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the machine is started and the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result is obtained. There is known a so-called pachislot machine, which is given a privilege according to the number of reels.

In such a game machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, a random number value is extracted and a lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of this lottery is referred to as an "internal winning combination"), and the stepping motor is driven and controlled. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

For example, in Patent Document 1, information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, is notified to the player so that the combination determined as the internal winning combination is not missed. The gaming machine to be used is disclosed. It should be noted that the notification of information that gives the player an advantage in this way is generally referred to as navigating (navigating), and the period during which the navigating is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and has an AT function. Game machines are called AT machines and ART machines. According to the AT (ART) machine, not only the lottery probability of the internal winning combination but also the profit differs depending on the presence or absence of notification, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in recent years, a specific gaming state (for example, AT) is not fixed but variable, and in particular, a predetermined period is set as one set, and the set is repeatedly executed when a predetermined continuation condition is satisfied (for example, 1). A game machine that makes a continuation judgment during the game of a set, continues to the next set when the continuation judgment determines the continuation to the next set, and ends in the set when the end of the current set is decided) is also known. Has been done. In such a game machine, it is decided whether or not the predetermined continuation condition is satisfied or not (for example, the battle wins when continuing to the next set, the battle is defeated when ending in the current set, and the continuation and the end are decided. If there is no such thing, it may be announced by (a production that incites victory or defeat but cannot be settled), but if neither continuation nor termination is decided (if the prescribed continuation conditions are not met), a decision to that effect is made. Then, there was a problem that it lacked interest.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a gaming machine capable of preventing a decrease in the interest of a game when a situation in which a continuation condition of a specific gaming state cannot be satisfied continues. The purpose.

The gaming machine according to the present invention includes a variable display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) capable of variablely displaying a plurality of identification displays (for example, symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R) and a plurality of combinations. A game machine including a game control means (for example, a main control circuit 90) that controls the progress of a game using the variable display means according to a winning combination (for example, an internal winning combination) determined from the above. As the game state in which the game is performed, there are a plurality of game states including a predetermined game state and a specific game state different from the predetermined game state (for example, a second battle of a normal ART). A plurality of decision information including the first decision information, the second decision information, the third decision information and the fourth decision information (for example, victory, defeat, continuation and continuation) according to the winning combination determined during a specific gaming state. A determination means (for example, the main control circuit 90) that determines one determination information from the non-winning) and a game state control means (for example, a game state control means that controls the gaming state according to the one determination information determined by the determination means). For example, a main control circuit 90), a counting means (for example, the main control circuit 90) that counts the number of determinations (for example, the number of continuations) for which the determination means determines the third determination information as the one determination information. A right management means (for example, the main control circuit 90) that grants an avoidance right (for example, the number of guaranteed games) for avoiding the end of the specific gaming state and consumes the avoidance right during the specific gaming state. The plurality of combinations include a first combination (for example, a bell group or more of the lottery group A) in which the determination means cannot determine the second determination information as the one determination information, and the determination means. The one determination information includes at least a second combination (for example, a losing group of the lottery group A) capable of determining the second determination information, and the game state control means is determined by the determination means. When the first decision information is determined as the information, the stage of the specific gaming state is advanced (for example, the battle during the normal ART is advanced to the next battle), and the determination means is the first determination information as the first determination information. 2 When the decision information is determined, the specific gaming state is terminated (for example, the game shifts to the pullback zone), and the determination means determines the third decision information or the fourth decision information as the one decision information. Then, the specific gaming state is continued while maintaining the stage of the specific gaming state, and when the counting means counts a predetermined number of times as the determination number (for example, the number of continuations reaches the ceiling number). Then), as the decision information of the above When the first decision information is determined and the second combination is determined as the internal winning combination while having the avoidance right, the fourth decision information is determined as the first decision information, and the fourth decision information is also determined. When the second winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination without having the avoidance right, the first decision information, the second decision information, or the third decision information can be determined as the first decision information. It is characterized by being.

According to such a game machine, when the first decision information is determined during the specific game state, the stage of the specific game state proceeds, and when the second decision information is determined, the specific game state ends. On the other hand, when the third decision information is determined, the specific gaming state continues without progressing or ending. Here, if the third decision information is repeatedly decided, since the specific game state does not progress or end, the tension regarding the game is diminished, and the player loses interest in the decision of the decision information.

Therefore, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the number of times the third decision information is determined is counted, and when the number of times reaches a predetermined number, the first decision information is determined as one decision information. As a result, when the situation in which the specific game state does not progress or end is repeated, the first decision information is determined, and the stage of the specific game state progresses. (The game state does not progress or end) The third decision information will also be strongly interested, and it is necessary to prevent a decline in the interest of the game when a situation in which a specific game state does not progress or end continues. Can be done.

The gaming machine according to the present invention has the fourth decision information in addition to the third decision information as the decision information that continues without advancing or ending the specific gaming state, but the third decision information When the determination is repeated, the first decision information is determined as a result, but when the determination of the fourth decision information is repeated, the first decision information is not always determined. Therefore, in the third decision information and the fourth decision information, the player desires the decision of the third decision information, and as a result, plays the game with interest in determining the decision information in the specific gaming state. , The interest of the game during a specific game state is improved.

Further, the decision information is determined based on the winning combination, but for a plurality of combinations that can be determined as the winning combination, the second decision information for ending a specific gaming state can be determined as the undecidable first combination. At least a deuteragonist is included. Here, at the time of winning the second role, if the avoidance right is held, the fourth decision information is determined, so that the specific game state does not end and the game can be played with peace of mind. .. On the other hand, if the second role wins when the player does not have the evasion right, the specific game state may end, but the first decision information or the number of ceilings for advancing the specific game state is provided. Since the third decision information obtained can also be determined, even if the player does not have the right to avoid, the result is not necessarily disadvantageous to the player, and may be advantageous to the player. .. As a result, the games in the specific game state are diversified, and the interest in the specific game state is improved.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game when the situation in which the continuation condition cannot be satisfied continues.

Hereinafter, a pachi-slot machine will be taken as an example of a gaming machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and its configuration and operation will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Function flow]
First, the functional flow of the pachislot machine will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachislot machine of the present embodiment, a medal is used as a game medium for playing a game. In addition to medals, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens, and the like can also be applied as the game medium. In addition, it is not limited to game machines that pay out game media, but is applied to enclosed game machines that enclose game media such as game balls and give benefits as electronic data such as points earned when predetermined grant conditions are met. It is also possible to do.

When a medal is inserted into the pachislot machine by the player and the start lever is operated, one value (hereinafter referred to as a random number value) is extracted from a random number in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

The combination determining means draws a lot based on the extracted random number value, and determines the internal winning combination (winning combination). This combination determining means is one of various processing means (processing functions) included in the main control circuit described later. By determining the internal winning combination, the combination of symbols that are allowed to be displayed along the effective line described later is determined. As for the types of symbol combinations, benefits are given to the player, such as a small winning combination in which medals are paid out, a replay in which a replay is activated, and a bonus winning combination in which a bonus is activated. Those related to "winning" and those related to other so-called "losses" are provided.

Further, when the start lever is operated, a plurality of reels are rotated. After that, when the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel is pressed by the player, the stop control means controls to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. .. This stop control means is one of various processing means (processing functions) included in the main control circuit described later.

In the pachislot machine, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a specified time (190 msec or 75 msec) from the time when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within this specified time is referred to as the "number of sliding pieces". In the present embodiment, when the specified period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces (maximum number of sliding pieces) is set for four symbols, and when the specified period is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces is set. The number is set for one symbol.

When the internal winning combination that allows the combination display of the symbols related to the winning is determined, the stop control means usually sets the combination of the symbols along the effective line within the specified time of 190 msec (for 4 symbols). Stop the rotation of the reel so that it is displayed as much as possible. Further, for example, one stop control means is used when the challenge bonus (hereinafter referred to as "CB") and the "MB" (middle bonus) that continuously operate the "CB", which are the second type special characters, are operated. For the above reels, the rotation of the reels is stopped so that the combination of the symbols is displayed as much as possible along the effective line within the specified time of 75 msec (for one symbol). Further, the stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the gaming state to stop the rotation of the reel so that the combination of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the effective line. ..

In the present embodiment, the reel stop operation (operation of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R) that is first performed when all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotating is the first stop operation and the first stop operation. The stop operation performed after the stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed after the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

In this way, when all the rotations of the plurality of reels are stopped, the winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line is related to winning. This winning determination means is also one of various processing means (processing functions) included in the main control circuit described later. Then, when it is determined by the winning determination means that the combination of the displayed symbols is related to the winning, a privilege such as a medal payout is given to the player. In the pachislot machine, the above-mentioned series of flows is performed as one game (unit game).

Further, in the pachislot machine, in the flow of the above-mentioned series of game operations, the image display performed by a display device such as a liquid crystal display device, the light output performed by various lamps, the sound output performed by a speaker, or a combination thereof. Various productions are performed using.

Specifically, when the start lever is operated, a random value for production (hereinafter referred to as a random value for production) is extracted in addition to the random value used for determining the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random value is extracted, the effect determination means determines the effect to be executed this time from a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination by lottery. This effect determining means is one of various processing means (processing functions) included in the sub-control circuit described later.

Next, when the effect content is determined by the effect determining means, the effect executing means performs a corresponding effect in conjunction with each opportunity such as when the reel starts rotating, when each reel stops rotating, and when it is determined whether or not there is a prize. Execute. In this way, in the pachislot machine, for example, by executing the production content associated with the internal winning combination, there is an opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of symbols to be aimed at). It is provided to the player and can improve the interest of the player.

[Structure of pachislot machine]
Next, the structure of the pachi-slot machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

It is configured to include a limit lamp 148.

The insert lamp 141 lights (or blinks (hereinafter omitted)) to notify the player that a medal can be inserted, and the start lamp 142 lights to play a game as the start lever 6 is operated. The replay lamp 143 notifies the player that the medal can be automatically inserted by the operation of the re-game by turning on the replay lamp 143. Further, the bet number lamp 144 informs the player of the number of medals bet by turning on the lamp, and the credit lamp 145 lights the number of medals (the number of credits) stored inside the pachislot machine 1. Notifying the player, the payout number lamp 146 lights up to notify the player of the number of medals paid out (the number of payouts) as a result of the game.

Further, the instruction monitor 147 includes a notification lamp 147a and a status indicator 147b (AT lamp). The notification lamp 147a is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED, and lights up in a manner that uniquely corresponds to the information of the stop operation to be notified, so that the information of the necessary stop operation is notified to the player. Further, the state indicator 147b is turned on to notify the player that the current gaming state is a gaming state (for example, an ART state) for notifying the mode of the stop operation advantageous to the player.

Here, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, a “pushing order combination” is provided, which is a combination in which the combinations of symbols displayed are different according to the order (pushing order) of the stop operation. The mode that uniquely corresponds to the information of the stop operation notified by the notification lamp 147a is, for example, that "1" is displayed when the pressing order "left, middle, right" is notified, and the pressing order "left, right," It means that "2" is displayed when "medium" is notified.

As shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later, the information display 14 is controlled by the main control board 71 via the door relay terminal plate 68.

In this case, the mode of notification in the notification lamp 147a and the mode of notification in other means may be different. That is, the notification lamp 147a may be notified in a manner uniquely corresponding to the information of the stop operation to be notified, and it is not always necessary to directly notify the information of the stop operation (for example, in the notification lamp 147a, "1". Even if it is displayed, it may not be possible to specify the content of the notification depending on the player, so it cannot be said that it is a direct notification). On the other hand, in the notification by other means, the information of the stop operation may be directly notified. For example, when the pressing order "left, middle, right" is notified, the notification lamp 147a displays "1" uniquely corresponding to the pressing order to be notified, while the other means (liquid crystal display device 11) displays the "1". To directly notify that the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and the third stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. May be good.

As described above, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to notify the information of the necessary stop operation according to the internal winning combination not only by the control of the sub control board 72 but also by the control of the main control board 71.

A clock pulse generation circuit 96, a frequency divider 97, a random number generator 98, and a sampling circuit 99 are connected to the main CPU 93. The clock pulse generation circuit 96 and the frequency divider 97 generate a clock pulse. The main CPU 93 executes a control program based on the generated clock pulse. The random number generator 98 generates random numbers in a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535). The sampling circuit 99 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

The main CPU 93 counts the number of times a pulse is output to the stepping motor of each reel after detecting the reel index. As a result, the main CPU 93 manages the rotation angle of each reel (mainly, how many symbols the reel has rotated). The reel index is information indicating that the reel has made one revolution. This reel index includes, for example, an optical sensor having a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and a detection piece provided at a predetermined position on each reel and interposed between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit due to the rotation of each reel. It is detected by the reel position detection unit (not shown).

Here, the management of the rotation angle of each reel will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to the stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter provided in the main RAM 95. Then, each time the output of a predetermined number of pulses required for the rotation of one symbol is counted by the pulse counter, the symbol counter provided in the main RAM 95 is added one by one. The symbol counter is provided according to each reel. The value of the symbol counter is cleared when the reel index is detected by the reel position detection unit (not shown).

That is, in the present embodiment, by managing the symbol counter, it is possible to manage how many symbols have been rotated since the reel index was detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel is detected with reference to the position where the reel index is detected.

<Secondary control circuit>
Next, the configuration of the sub-control circuit 101 mounted on the sub-control board 72 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the sub-control circuit 101 of the pachi-slot machine 1.

Further, the sub CPU 102 controls the lighting and extinguishing of the LED group 85 according to the lamp data specified by the effect content.

[Transition flow of game state of pachislot machine]
Next, the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 91 (main CPU 93) of the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment and the transition flow thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 (A) is a transition flow diagram of the basic gaming state of the pachislot machine 1, and FIG. 7 (B) is a transition flow diagram of the gaming state in consideration of whether or not the notification (ART) function is activated. FIG. 7C is a table summarizing the transition conditions of the gaming state.

First, with reference to FIG. 7A, a transition flow of the basic gaming state of the pachislot machine 1, that is, a transition flow of the gaming state accompanying the operation of the bonus or the RT state will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 manages the gaming state based on the presence / absence of winning / operating of the bonus, the type of the internal winning combination related to the replay, and the winning probability thereof.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the main control circuit 91 is based on the presence / absence of winning / operation of a bonus (a bonus continuous operation device (“F_BB” in the present embodiment) related to a first-class special accessory). , Bonus non-winning state, inter-flag state and bonus state are distinguished. Specifically, the bonus non-winning state is a state in which the bonus is not winning and the bonus is not operating, and between the BB flags, the bonus is winning and the bonus is not operating, and the bonus state. Is the state in which the bonus is activated.
The pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a CB (type 2 special accessory) whose operation is completed in one game, but in the following, the game during the CB operation is treated as a bonus non-winning state. This embodiment will be described.

Whether or not the bonus is won is managed based on the data stored in the internal winning combination storage area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 33, and whether or not the bonus is activated is determined by the game state flag provided in the main RAM 33. It is managed based on the data stored in the storage area (not shown). Here, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning combination related to the bonus (more specifically, “F_BB”) is determined as the internal winning combination, the winning combination related to the bonus is carried over as the internal winning combination until the bonus is activated. Is done. The inter-flag state is a state in which the winning combination related to the bonus is carried over as an internal winning combination.

Further, the main control circuit 91 provides four types of RT states, RT0 to RT3 states, in which the types of internal winning combinations related to the replay and the winning probabilities thereof are different from each other. The RT state is a gaming state in which the player stays in an initial state such as after the end of the bonus state. Further, the RT1 state is a gaming state in which the probability that the winning combination related to the replay is determined as the internal winning combination is low, and the RT2 and RT3 states have a high probability that the winning combination related to the replay is determined as the internal winning combination. It is a game state that becomes.

These RT0 to RT3 states are managed based on the data stored in the game state flag storage area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 33. Specifically, the pachi-slot machine 1 has three flags, an RT1 state flag to an RT3 state flag, and manages the RT state by managing the on / off of these flags in the main RAM 33. When all the RT state flags are off, the main control circuit 91 identifies that the current RT state is the RT0 state.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the RT0 state to the RT1 state when (1) a bell spill is displayed in the RT0 state. Further, when the RT2 promotion replay is displayed in the RT1 state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the game state from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and (3) a bell spill or a fall replay is displayed in the RT2 state. Then, the gaming state is shifted from the RT2 state to the RT1 state.

The bell spills (“R_bell spills” in FIG. 11 described later) are the push order bells (F_push order bells 1A to F_push order bells 6B) described later when they are determined as internal winning combinations. This is a combination of symbols that may be displayed when the answer is incorrect in the pressing order determined for each type of bell (see FIG. 18 described later).

Further, in the RT2 promotion replay (“C_bare lip 3” in FIG. 4 described later), when the push order lip 1 (F_ push order lip 1A to F_ push order lip 1F) described later is determined as the internal winning combination. , Pushing order This is a combination of symbols displayed when the answer is correct in the pushing order determined for each type of lip 1 (see FIG. 18 described later).

Further, in the fall replay (“C_Rose Lip 1” and “C_Rose Lip 2” in FIG. 9 described later), the push order Lip 2 (F_Push Order Lip 2A to F_Push Order Lip 2E) described later serves as an internal winning combination. This is a combination of symbols displayed when the answer is incorrect in the push order determined for each type of push order lip 2 (see FIG. 18 described later).

Further, when the winning combination related to the bonus is determined as the internal winning combination in the (5) RT0 to RT3 states, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the RT0 to RT3 states to the BB flag. Further, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from between the BB flags to the bonus state when the winning combination related to the bonus determined as the internal winning combination is won between the (6) BB flags and the bonus state starts. Further, the main control circuit 91 ends the bonus state when (7) the end condition of the bonus state (for example, the number of medals paid out during the bonus state exceeds 264) is satisfied during the bonus state. And shift the game state to the RT0 state.

Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 7B, the transition flow of the gaming state regarding the presence / absence of notification will be described. Pachislot 1 not only manages the game state based on the presence / absence of a bonus win / operation, the type of internal win combination related to replay, and the winning probability, but also whether or not to notify a stop operation that is advantageous to the player. The game status is managed based on the above.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the main control circuit 91 of the pachislot machine 1 distinguishes between the normal state, the chance zone, and the ART state based on the presence or absence of notification. A part of the normal state and the chance zone (PCZ described later) is basically a gaming state (non-ART) that does not notify the content of the stop operation advantageous to the player, and is a part of the ART state and the chance zone (PCZ described later). CZ), which will be described later, is a gaming state for notifying a stop operation which is advantageous for the player. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player plays the game so as to shift from the normal state (with a bonus state depending on the situation) to the ART state which is advantageous to the player.

The normal state is the most unfavorable gaming state in pachislot 1, and as shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility of shifting from the normal state to the chance zone and the ART state. Specifically, the transition lottery to the chance zone is performed in the normal state, and (A) When the transition lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the chance zone. Further, in the normal state, the transition lottery to the ART is performed, and (B) When the transition lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the ART state.

The chance zone is a gaming state in which the expectation for shifting to the ART state is high, and as shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility that the chance zone shifts to the ART state or the normal state. Specifically, a transition lottery to ART is performed in the chance zone, and (C) when the transition lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the chance zone to the ART state, and (D) this When the chance zone ends without winning the transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the chance zone to the normal state.

Here, in the pachislot machine 1, the ART state is basically a gaming state in which the ART of the RT3 states is won, and starts when the RT state shifts to the RT3 state after the ART is won. As shown in FIG. 7A, since the RT3 state shifts from the RT2 gaming state, the ART state does not start immediately even after winning the ART. Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1, the period until the transition to the RT3 state after winning the ART is set as the ART preparation, and the stop operation necessary for the transition to the RT3 state is notified during the ART preparation.

Subsequently, the ART state is basically a gaming state in which the ART of the RT3 states is won. As shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility of shifting from the ART state to the normal state or the chance zone. Specifically, when the (E) ART state is completed and there is no stock in the chance zone, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the ART state to the normal state, and (F) the ART state is changed. When it is finished and there is a stock of the chance zone, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the ART state to the chance zone.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, there is a possibility of shifting from the normal state, the chance zone, and the ART state to the bonus state. Specifically, (G) When the winning combination related to the bonus is won in the normal state, the chance zone and the ART state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the bonus state. Then, when (H) there is no stock in the ART state at the end of the bonus state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the bonus state to the normal state, and (I) stocks in the ART state at the end of the bonus state. If there is, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the bonus state to the ART state.

[Various data tables on the main control side 1]
Subsequently, the configurations of various data tables stored in the main ROM 94 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 17.

<Design arrangement table>
The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8 represents the arrangement of symbols arranged on the surfaces of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R by data. The symbol arrangement table defines the correspondence between the 20 symbol positions "0" to "19" and the symbols corresponding to each of these symbol positions.

The symbol positions "0" to "19" indicate the positions of the symbols arranged along the rotation direction in each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The symbol corresponding to the symbol positions "0" to "19" can be specified by referring to the symbol arrangement table using the value of the symbol counter.

The types of patterns are "Blue 7", "BAR", "Watermelon 1", "Watermelon 2", "Cherry", "Bell", "Replay", "Blank 1", "Blank 2" and "Blank 3". ”Is included.

In the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8, when the reel index is detected, the symbol located in the middle of the reel display window 4 (the symbol passing through the middle of the reel display window 4) is assigned to the symbol position "0", and the symbol is assigned to the symbol position "0". Correspondence relationships are defined in which symbol positions "0" to "19" are assigned to each of the 20 symbols in the order of movement of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R in the rotation direction. In this way, by using the middle stage of the reel display window 4 as a reference, the type of the symbol located in the middle stage of the reel display window 4 can be specified for each of the three reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

<Design code table>
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, each symbol arranged on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is specified by a symbol code table and is distinguished by 1 byte (8 bits) of data. The symbol code table shown in FIG. 8 represents a code for identifying the symbols arranged on the surfaces of the three reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

The symbols used in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment are "blue 7", "BAR", "watermelon 1", "watermelon 2", "cherry", "bell", "replay", "blank 1", and "blank". There are 10 types of "2" and "blank 3". In the symbol code table, "00000001" is assigned as data to the "blue 7" symbol (symbol code 1), and "00000010" is assigned as data to the "BAR" symbol (symbol code 2). ing. Similarly, "00000011" to "000001010" are assigned as data to each of the symbols (design codes 3 to 10) of "watermelon 1" to "blank 3".

<Design combination table>
Next, the symbol combination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11. The symbol combination table is used when a combination of symbols predetermined according to the type of privilege, data stored in the main RAM 95 when the combination of the symbols is displayed, and the combination of the symbols are displayed. The correspondence with the benefits (the number of medals paid out) is stipulated.

In the present embodiment, when the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line matches the combination of symbols specified in the symbol combination table, it is determined that the prize is won. Then, when it is determined that the prize is won, the player is given benefits such as paying out medals, operating the replay, and operating the bonus game (continuous operation device for the character). If the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line does not match any of the combinations of symbols specified in the symbol combination table, it is a so-called "missing". That is, in the present embodiment, the combination of the "missing" symbols is specified by not specifying the combination of the symbols corresponding to the "missing" in the symbol combination table. The present invention is not limited to this, and the item of "off" may be provided in the symbol combination table to directly specify "off".

The data column in the symbol combination table defines information for identifying the symbol combination displayed along the valid line. Specifically, in the data column, a "storage area" in which data of a combination of corresponding symbols is stored and "data (bits corresponding to the combination of symbols in 1-byte data)" stored in the storage area. Data for specifying) ”is specified.

The combination specified in the symbol combination table means the symbol combination of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R displayed along the effective line when each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped. For each combination, the role of the combination and the combination name according to the type of the symbol constituting the combination are defined.

In addition, the number of medals to be paid out specified in the symbol combination table specifies the number of medals to be paid out when the corresponding combination of symbols is displayed. For example, referring to FIG. 10, when a combination of symbols of the combination name “C_TL bell” is displayed in the 3BET game, 9 medals are paid out.

In addition, the content column in the symbol combination table indicates the role of each symbol combination and the characteristics of each symbol combination. With reference to FIG. 9, for example, the combination names “C_Rose Lip 1” and “C_Rose Lip 2” are a combination of the symbols of the fall replay, and when displayed along the valid line, the game state is RT1. It shifts to the state (see FIG. 7).

<Internal lottery table>
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 12 to 16, the internal lottery table referred to when determining the internal winning combination will be described. The internal lottery table is provided for each game state, and defines the lottery value information corresponding to each combination.

FIG. 12 is an internal lottery table referenced during the RT0 state, FIG. 13 is an internal lottery table referenced during the RT1 state, and FIG. 14 is an internal lottery table referenced during the RT2 state. , FIG. 15 is an internal lottery table referenced during the RT3 state. Further, the “BB flag interval (3BET)” column in FIG. 16 is an internal lottery table referenced during the BB flag interval, and the “BB flag interval (3BET)” column in FIG. 16 is referenced during the bonus state. It is an internal lottery table to be held.

Further, as described above, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the CB may be activated during the bonus non-winning state. Therefore, in the internal lottery table of FIGS. 12 to 15 referred to during the bonus non-winning state, the internal lottery table referred to during the CB operation and the internal lottery table referred to during the CB non-operation are shown. For example, the "in non-CB (3BET)" column of FIG. 12 is an internal lottery table referred to while the CB is not operating in the RT0 state, and the "in CB (2BET)" column is in the RT0 state and. An internal lottery table referenced during CB operation.
During the CB operation, all the small winning combinations are determined as the internal winning combinations regardless of the lottery value specified in the internal lottery table.

In the present embodiment, the lottery random values extracted from the predetermined numerical range "0 to 65535" are sequentially subtracted by the lottery values (not shown) according to each combination, and the result of the subtraction is negative. An internal lottery is performed by determining whether or not it has become (whether or not so-called "digits" have occurred).

Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the winning combination to which this is assigned is determined as the internal winning combination. That is, the winning probability of each number can be expressed by "the lottery value corresponding to each number / the number of all random number values that may be extracted (65536)".

<Correspondence table of internal winning combination and symbol combination>
FIG. 17 is a comparison table showing a correspondence relationship with a combination of symbols that can be displayed on the effective line in each internal winning combination when each combination is determined as an internal winning combination. The circles in each correspondence table indicate the combinations of symbols that can be displayed on the effective line in the winning combination determined as the internal winning combination.

In the pachislot machine 1, the main control circuit 91 has different stop controls depending on the internal winning combination and the gaming state, and when a predetermined combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the combination of the corresponding symbols shown in FIG. 17 ( The combination) can be displayed, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped. Here, in the correspondence table shown in FIG. 17, all combinations of symbols that may be displayed when the winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination are listed, but circles are added corresponding to the winning combination. Even if the combination of symbols is displayed, it may not be displayed.

That is, in pachislot 1, the stop control (for example, the symbol to be preferentially pulled in) is made different according to the combination of symbols that can be stopped and displayed and the current game state. Even a combination of symbols marked with may not be displayed. Therefore, FIGS. 18 and 19 show the correspondence between the type of combination and the combination of the symbols that are actually stopped and displayed.

<Correspondence between the combination of the internal winning combination and the symbol displayed as a stop 1>
Correspondence 1 of FIG. 18 shows the correspondence between the winning combination and the combination of symbols while the CB is not operating. In the pachi-slot machine 1, as a plurality of combinations, a "push order combination" is provided, which is a combination in which the combinations of symbols displayed according to the order of stop operations (push order) are different. When the push order combination is determined as the internal winning combination while the CB is not operating, the main control circuit 91 changes the combination of the symbols to be stopped and displayed according to the relationship between the push order combination type and the push order.

The combination of symbols displayed according to the pressing order includes a combination of symbols that is advantageous to the player and a combination of symbols that is disadvantageous to the player. Basically, the combination of symbols displayed when the push order is the correct answer for the push order combination is a combination of symbols that is advantageous to the player, and the wrong answer push order is applied to the push order combination. The combination of symbols displayed in a certain case is a combination of symbols that is disadvantageous to the player. Basically, when the push order combination is determined as the internal winning combination during the ART state, the main control circuit 91 notifies the player of the correct push order for the push order combination.

In the game in which the CB is not operating, the main control circuit 91 is a combination of symbols marked with a circle in FIG. 17 among the combinations of symbols having a corresponding relationship shown in FIG. 18 when the internal winning combination is determined. Stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R so that is displayed along the effective line.

<Correspondence relationship between the combination of the internal winning combination and the symbol displayed as stopped 2>
Subsequently, the correspondence 2 of FIG. 19 shows the correspondence between the winning combination and the combination of symbols during the CB operation. As described above, during the CB operation, all small wins are determined as internal winnings, while other replay winnings and bonus winnings are determined as internal winnings according to the lottery value. .. During the operation of the CB, the main control circuit 91 makes the stop control different depending on the winning combination related to the replay or the winning combination related to the bonus in addition to all the small winning combinations.

Specifically, in addition to all the small roles during CB operation, "F_BB + F_Rip 2""F_BB + F_Rip 4""F_BB + F_Rip 5""F_BB + F_Strong Bell""F_BB + F_Cherry B""F_BB + F_Cherry C" or "F_BB + F_ When "Cherry D" is determined as the internal winning combination, the main control circuit 91 reels 3L so that the combination of the symbols of "C_middle cherry 1" or "C_middle cherry 2" is displayed along the effective line. , 3C, 3R rotation is stopped.
In addition to all the small winning combinations during the CB operation, the internal winning combination when any of "F_BB + F_lip 2" to "F_BB + F_cherry D" is determined as the internal winning combination is described below as "All winning C". May be called.

Further, when "F_lip 2" or "F_lip 5" is determined as the internal winning combination in addition to all the small combinations during the CB operation, the main control circuit 91 is set to "C_strong cherry 1" and "C_strong". The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped so that the combination of the symbols of "cherry 2" or "C_strong cherry 3" is displayed along the effective line.
In addition to all the small winning combinations during the CB operation, the internal winning combination when "F_lip 2" or "F_lip 5" is determined as the internal winning combination is hereinafter referred to as "all winning B". Sometimes.

Further, if, in addition to all the small winning combinations, a winning combination related to "out of place" or other replays is determined as an internal winning combination during CB operation, the main control circuit 91 is set to "C_XD bell" or "C_small V bell". The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped so that the combination of the symbols of "" is displayed along the effective line.
In addition to all the small winning combinations during the CB operation, the internal winning combination when the winning combination related to "missing" or other replays is determined as the internal winning combination is hereinafter referred to as "all winnings A". There is.

<Notification (navigation) content for each game status>
Subsequently, FIG. 20 is a diagram showing the contents of the push order to be notified to the player when the push order combination or the like is determined as the internal winning combination. In FIG. 20, "first navigation" means notifying a part of the correct push order (type of reel to be stopped in the first stop operation). That is, "first navigation" means, for example, that when the correct answer is pressed in the "left, middle, right", it is notified as "left", and when the correct answer is pressed in the "middle, left, right". It means to notify "medium". Further, in FIG. 20, "all navigation" means notifying all of the correct push orders (types of reels to be stopped in the first stop operation to the third stop operation). That is, "all navigation" means, for example, that when the correct answer is pressed in the "left middle right", it is notified as "left middle right", or when the correct answer is pressed in the "middle left and right". It means to notify "middle left and right".

Details will be described later, but in Pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, when the guaranteed number of CZ games (the number of CZ games) remains in CZ, which is a part of the chance zone, a part of the correct push order is used. Notify, and when the number of guaranteed games of CZ is exhausted, all of the correct push order is notified. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, during CZ, the content of the notification differs depending on whether or not there is a guarantee.

<Correspondence between the internal winning role and the lottery group>
Generally, in a pachislot machine, various lottery is performed based on the internal winning combination, but if a large number of combinations can be determined as the internal winning combination, the lottery result may be provided for each combination. The amount of data required for lottery becomes enormous. From the viewpoint of playability, it is preferable to perform various lottery, but since the capacity of the main ROM 94 is limited due to the specifications, if the amount of data required for one lottery becomes enormous, the types of lottery will be reduced. It has to be, and the playability becomes monotonous as a whole.

Therefore, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a large number of roles are grouped, and various lottery is performed based on the grouped information (lottery group). As a result, the amount of data required for each lottery can be suppressed.
FIG. 21 is a table showing the correspondence between the internal winning combination and the lottery group. For example, "F_pushing order bell 1A" to "F_pushing order bell 6B" are grouped as push order bells, "3 (bell group)" in lottery group A, and "2 (bell group)" in lottery group B. And various lottery is done.

Further, "F_cherry D", "all prizes C" and "F_BB" correspond to "4 (loss group)" in the lottery group A and "3 (loss group)" in the lottery group B. As is clear from the various lottery tables described later, the lottery based on the loss group basically results in a lottery result that is disadvantageous to the player, so "F_cherry D", "all prizes C" or " Even if "F_BB" is determined as the internal winning combination, the lottery result will be disadvantageous for the player. In this regard, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when "F_cherry D", "all winnings C" or "F_BB" is determined as the internal winning combination, a special process is performed to bring the player into an advantageous state. The results of various lottery using the lottery table are the same as the lottery results based on the loss group.

When "F_Cherry D" or "All Winning C" is won, "F_BB" is always won, so what is the special processing when "F_Cherry D" "All Winning C" or "F_BB" is won? It can be rephrased as a special treatment when the bonus is won. Such special processing at the time of winning a bonus is, for example, in the main control circuit 91, "F_cherry D", "all winning C" or "F_BB" is internally won in the PCZ described later which is a part of the chance zone. If it is decided as a role, one stock in the ART state will be given, an ART lottery will be performed according to the points at that time, and "F_cherry D" "F_cherry D" "in the CZ described later which is a part of the chance zone. If "All Winning C" or "F_BB" is determined as an internal winning combination, one stock in the ART state is given, and "F_Cherry D", "All Winning C" or "F_BB" is inside during the ART state. If the winning combination is determined, 50 is added to the guaranteed number of games described later.

[Flow of games in normal state]
Subsequently, the flow of the game in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game is played aiming at the ART state during the normal state. As shown in FIG. 22 (A), the transition from the normal state to the ART state includes a route from the normal state to the chance zone and then a route from the chance zone to the ART state, and a direct transition from the normal state to the ART state. There are two routes.

The pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has two chance zones (more specifically, PCZ1, PCZ2 and CZ) as chance zones. Therefore, the route via the chance zone includes a plurality of routes, that is, a route that shifts from the normal state to the ART state via the PCZ, and a route that shifts from the normal state to the ART state via the CZ.

During the normal state, as shown in FIG. 22B, the main control circuit 91 performs a transition lottery as to whether or not to shift to the chance zone or the precursor state of the ART state, and when the transition lottery is won, the precursor state The game state is transferred to the winning game state via. In addition, the precursor state that shifts to the chance zone or ART state when the precursor ends is called the "main precursor", and even if the precursor ends, the precursor state is maintained in the normal state without shifting to the chance zone or ART state. The state is called a "precursor".

Regarding the lottery to shift to such a precursor state, in the conventional pachislot machine, only a plurality of main precursors for each type of gaming state to be transitioned after the end of the precursor and one ghost precursor are determined. For example, when PCZ, CZ, and ART states are used as the game states of the transition destination as in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the conventional pachislot machine, the precursors and precursors of the PCZ that shifts to the PCZ after the end of the precursors. Only the main sign of CZ that shifts to CZ after the end, the main sign of the ART state that shifts to the ART state after the end of the sign, and the sign of Gase were determined.

On the other hand, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase precursor for each gaming state also with respect to the Gase precursor. That is, as shown in FIG. 22B, during the normal state, the main control circuit 91 is a precursor of the transition destination from among the Gase PCZ precursor, the Gase CZ precursor, the Gase ART precursor, the PCZ precursor, the CZ precursor, and the ART precursor. Determine the state. As a result, when the Gase PCZ precursor, the Gase CZ precursor, or the Gase ART precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 maintains the gaming state in the normal state even after the precursor is over, and when the PCZ precursor is determined. The main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the PCZ after the end of the precursor, and when the CZ precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the CZ after the end of the precursor, and the ART precursor is generated. If determined, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the ART state after the end of the precursor.

Here, since the precursor state is usually used to produce an effect that gives expectations to the game after the precursor ends, when simply determining the precursor precursor like a conventional pachislot machine, the main side is in the precursor state. It is not possible to determine the tendency of the production to be performed. On the other hand, when the type of the precursory sign is also determined as in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main (main control circuit 91) side can determine the tendency of the effect to be performed during the precursory sign.

Specifically, in pachislot 1, the Gase PCZ precursor and the PCZ precursor are directed to suggest that there is a possibility of shifting to the PCZ when the precursor is over, and the Gase CZ precursor and the CZ precursor are after the end of the precursor. An effect suggesting the transition to CZ is performed, and during the Gase ART precursor and the ART precursor, an effect suggesting the transition to the ART state is performed after the end of the precursor. That is, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect of inciting a gaming state of the type determined on the main side during the precursory state.

In a conventional pachislot machine, although it is possible to perform an effect that encourages a transition to some kind of game state during a sign of a mess by controlling the sub side, the relationship between the effect and the decision on the main side (that is, the decision regarding the payout). The character is low and the production becomes monotonous. On the other hand, as in the case of the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, by determining the tendency of the effect to be performed during the sign of the contradiction on the main side, the effect and the decision on the main side can be related to each other. As will be described later in E), various production controls can be performed without causing the player to feel a contradiction.

In this way, during the normal state, the lottery for transitioning to the precursory state is performed, and when the precursor of the winning type ends, the game transitions to the corresponding gaming state. Here, as shown in FIG. 22B, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 shifts to the precursory state with the internal winning combination and the cycle as an opportunity.

The transition to the precursory state triggered by the internal winning combination is a lottery performed every game based on the internal winning combination (more specifically, the lottery group) and the internal mode (low accuracy, normal, high accuracy, ultra-high accuracy). Is done by. As will be described later in FIG. 25, the precursor state of the transition destination when the internal winning combination is triggered is determined each time according to the internal winning combination.

In addition, the transition to the precursory state triggered by the cycle is performed according to the cycle rank described later when the cycle is reached. As will be described later in FIG. 29, the precursor state of the transition destination when the cycle is triggered is determined according to the cycle rank when the cycle is reached. Since the cycle rank is preset during the cycle, in the pachislot machine 1, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect suggesting the type of precursor after the cycle is reached even in the game during the cycle.

Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the cycle is managed based on the number of times the CB is established, and the main control circuit 91 states that the game of one cycle is completed when the CB is determined five times as the internal winning combination. to decide. The sub-control circuit 101 displays a counter on the liquid crystal display device 11 for counting the number of times the CB is established, and notifies the player of the arrival of the cycle. At this time, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect suggesting the type of precursor after the cycle is reached in the game during the cycle, for example, by changing the display of the counter according to the cycle rank. Of course, not only the display mode of the counter but also the effect performed on the liquid crystal display device 11 may be used to perform an effect suggesting the type of precursor after the cycle is reached.

The cycle management method is not limited to the number of times the CB is determined as the internal winning combination, and the game period of one cycle may be managed based on the number of times the game is played, and a specific cycle may be managed. It is possible to manage the game period of one cycle based on the number of times a specific role wins, instead of the number of times the combination is determined as the internal winning combination, and to manage the game period of one cycle by any other method. May be.

As shown in FIG. 23 (C), when the transition to the precursor state occurs as a result of the transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor to the present precursor based on the internal winning combination determined during the precursor state. Do. As a result of this rewriting lottery, if it is decided to rewrite the rewriting of the precursor, the precursor is rewritten from the Gase precursor to the present precursor, and after that, when the precursor ends, the game state shifts to the game state according to the type of the precursor. On the other hand, as a result of the rewriting lottery, if it is decided not to rewrite the rewriting of the precursor, the game state is maintained in the normal state even after the precursor is over.

Here, when rewriting from the Gase precursor to the present precursor, as shown in FIG. 23 (D), the main control circuit 91 rewrites from the Gase precursor to the present precursor according to the type of the precursor before rewriting. .. Specifically, when the precursor state is rewritten during the Gase PCZ precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the Gase PCZ precursor to a PCZ or higher main precursor (PCZ precursor, CZ precursor, or ART precursor). Further, when the precursor state is rewritten during the Gase CZ precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the Gase CZ precursor to a CZ or higher main precursor (CZ precursor or ART precursor), and does not rewrite the PCZ precursor. Similarly, when rewriting the precursor state during the Gase ART precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the Gase ART precursor to the present precursor (ART precursor) equal to or higher than the ART state, and does not rewrite it to the PCZ precursor or the CZ precursor.

In this way, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, not only the type of the sign but also the type of the sign is determined by the main side, so that it can be rewritten to the type of the sign that was fueled during the sign. And the relevance of the main decision can be designed as appropriate. Here, FIG. 23 (E) shows as a comparative example the control in the case where the type of the precursory sign is not determined on the main side as in the conventional pachislot machine.

As shown in FIG. 23 (E), even when the type of the Gase precursor is not determined as in the conventional pachislot machine, it is possible to rewrite the Gase precursor to the present precursor, but the present precursor after rewriting. It is not possible to have a connection with the sign of Gase before rewriting. In other words, in the case of a conventional pachislot machine, the type of the Gase precursor is not decided, so the production to be performed during the Gase precursor is arbitrarily decided by the sub side, and the type of this precursor that is rewritten from the Gase precursor is directly related to the ball output. Therefore, it will be decided on the main side. Normally, in pachislot machines, communication control between the main side and the sub side is limited, so it is possible to perform the production on the sub side based on the information determined on the main side, but the production performed on the sub side. It is not possible for the main side to make decisions related to payouts based on.

Therefore, like a conventional pachislot machine, if the main side decides the production to be performed during the ghost sign without deciding the type of the ghost sign, there is no way for the main side to grasp the production during the ghost sign. , It cannot be rewritten as the type of book precursor that was fueled in terms of production. As a result, in the conventional pachislot machine, for example, even if the effect of inciting the precursor of the ART state during the precursor of gassing is performed, if the precursor of gassing is rewritten to the precursor of CZ on the main side, then the CZ Will be granted.

From the perspective of the player, he / she will not be dissatisfied as long as the benefits that are advantageous to the player are given due to the rewriting, but there is a possibility that he / she will be dissatisfied if the benefits that are more disadvantageous than expected are given. is there. Therefore, as in the case of a conventional pachislot machine, if CZ is given after arousing the precursor of the ART state, a contradiction occurs between the production and the privilege given, which causes the player to feel dissatisfied.

On the other hand, when the type of the contradiction precursor is also decided on the main side as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the book of the type (or the type more advantageous for the player) that was fanned during the contradiction precursor. It can be rewritten as a precursor, and various production controls are possible without making the player feel a contradiction.

[Various lottery tables used during normal conditions]
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 24 to 32, various lottery tables used for various lottery performed in the normal state will be described. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(Normal internal mode transition lottery table)
FIG. 24 is a normal internal mode transition lottery table used for the internal mode transition lottery used as a parameter in the precursory transition triggered by the internal winning combination during the normal state, and FIG. 24 (A) is the current internal mode. It is a normal time internal mode transition lottery table used when a mode is low accuracy, and FIG. 24 (B) is a normal time internal mode transition lottery table used when the current internal mode is normal, and FIG. 24 (B) C) is a normal time internal mode transition lottery table used when the current internal mode is highly accurate, and FIG. 24 (D) is a normal time internal mode used when the current internal mode is ultra high accuracy. It is a transition lottery table.

The normal time internal mode transition lottery table defines the lottery value information regarding the internal mode of the transition destination for each of the current internal mode and the internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 determines the internal mode of the transition destination with reference to the normal internal mode transition lottery table, the determined internal mode is set.

Here, the internal mode is one of the parameters used for the precursory transition triggered by the internal winning combination, and the probability of transitioning to the precursory state is low and the probability of transitioning to the precursory state is low, and the high accuracy can shift to the precursory state. The probability is low and higher than usual, and the ultra-high probability is most likely to shift to the precursory state. As shown in FIG. 24, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the internal mode does not fall until it is promoted with high accuracy. In high accuracy or ultra high accuracy, the internal mode will fall with a predetermined probability, but in a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) after being promoted to high accuracy or ultra high accuracy, it is internal. The mode may not fall.

(Normal time precursor transition lottery table)
FIG. 25 is a normal time precursor transition lottery table used for the transition lottery to the precursor state triggered by the internal winning combination during the normal state, and FIG. 25 (A) is a normal mode used when the internal mode is low accuracy. It is a time precursor transition lottery table, FIG. 25 (B) is a normal time precursor transition lottery table used when the internal mode is normal, and FIG. 25 (C) is used when the internal mode is highly accurate. It is a normal time precursor transition lottery table, and FIG. 25 (D) is a normal time precursor transition lottery table used when the internal mode is ultra-high accuracy.

The normal time precursor transition lottery table defines the lottery value information regarding the precursor state of the transition destination for each internal mode and internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 determines the precursor state of the transition destination with reference to the normal time precursor transition lottery table, the determined precursor state is set. When the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor as the precursor state of the migration destination, the PCZ type (PCZ1 or PCZ2) is determined by referring to the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. 32 described later. decide. Further, when the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase CZ precursor or the CZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, the CZ is information on the degree of expectation of the CZ with reference to the CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. 33 described later. Determine the mode.

(Lottery table for the number of precursor games)
FIG. 26 is a precursor game number lottery table for determining the period (precursor game number) of the transition state. The precursor game number lottery table defines information on the lottery value related to the precursor game number for each type of precursor state of the migration destination. When the main control circuit 91 determines the number of precursor games with reference to the precursor game number lottery table, the main control circuit 91 sets the precursor game number as the period of the precursor state of the transition destination determined with reference to the normal time precursor transition lottery table. ..

(Rewriting lottery table in the precursor)
FIG. 27 is a precursory rewriting lottery table used for the precursory state rewriting lottery performed during the precursory state transitioned by the internal winning combination, and FIG. 27 (A) is a precursor used when the internal mode is low accuracy. It is a middle rewriting lottery table, FIG. 27 (B) is a precursory middle rewriting lottery table used when the internal mode is normal, and FIG. 27 (C) is a precursory middle use when the internal mode is highly accurate. It is a rewrite lottery table, and FIG. 27 (D) is a precursory rewrite lottery table used when the internal mode is ultra-high accuracy.

The precursory rewriting lottery table defines the lottery value information regarding the lottery result as to whether or not to rewrite the precursory state for each internal mode and internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 wins a rewriting lottery using the sign rewriting lottery table during the sign, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the sign to the present sign while maintaining the type of the sign state. That is, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor state to the PCZ precursor when it wins the rewrite lottery during the Gase PCZ precursor, rewrites the precursor state to the CZ precursor when it wins the rewrite lot during the Gase CZ precursor, and rewrites it during the Gase ART precursor. When the lottery is won, the precursor state is rewritten to the ART precursor.

Further, when the main control circuit 91 wins a rewrite lottery using the precursory rewriting lottery table during the present precursory state, one privilege (stock) according to the type of the precursory state is given. That is, the main control circuit 91 grants one more PCZ stock when the rewrite lottery is won during the PCZ precursor, and further grants one CZ stock when the rewrite lottery is won during the CZ precursor, and during the ART precursor. If you win the rewrite lottery, you will be given one more stock in the ART state (a total of two will be given, including the precursors before the rewrite lottery).

(Omen transition lottery table when the cycle is reached)
FIG. 28 is a precursory transition lottery table at the time of cycle arrival, which is used for the transitional lottery to the precursory state triggered by the arrival of the cycle. The precursory transition lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle is provided for each cycle rank, and defines the lottery value information regarding the precursory state of the transition destination. As can be seen by referring to the precursory transition lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, any precursory state is always determined in the transition lottery to the precursory state triggered by the arrival of the cycle.

When the game of one cycle is completed (when the CB is won five times), the main control circuit 91 determines the precursor state of the transition destination corresponding to the cycle rank by referring to the precursor transition lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle. At this time, when the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor as the precursor state of the migration destination, the PCZ type (PCZ1 or PCZ2) is referred to by the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. 32 described later. To determine. Further, when the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase CZ precursor or the CZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, the main control circuit 91 determines the CZ mode with reference to the CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. 33 described later.

In the precursory transition lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle shown in FIG. 28, in the transitional lottery to the precursory state triggered by the arrival of the cycle, the precursory state corresponding to the cycle rank on a one-to-one basis is determined. The present invention is not limited, and one omen state may be determined from a plurality of omen states with a probability according to the periodic rank.

(Cycle rank lottery table)
FIG. 29 is a cycle rank lottery table for drawing a cycle rank to be referred to in a lottery for transition to a precursory state triggered by the arrival of a cycle. When the main control circuit 91 performs the transition lottery to the precursory state triggered by the arrival of the cycle, the main control circuit 91 determines the cycle rank to be used in the next cycle with reference to the cycle rank lottery table. As shown in FIG. 29, the cycle rank lottery table is provided for each cycle count. Here, in pachislot 1, the range of the number of cycles is 0 to 3. For example, when the current number of cycles is the first, the next number of cycles is the second, the next number of cycles is the third, and the next number of cycles returns to the 0th.

The cycle rank lottery table defines the lottery value information for the cycle rank to be used for the next cycle for each cycle count. When the game of one cycle is completed (when the CB is won five times), the main control circuit 91 determines the cycle rank to be used for the next cycle by referring to the cycle rank lottery table. The determined cycle rank is notified to the sub-control circuit 101, and the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect according to the cycle rank during the cycle.

(Lottery table for the number of precursor games when the cycle is reached)
FIG. 30 is a lottery table for the number of precursor games at the time of reaching the cycle for determining the period of the precursor state (the number of precursor games) that shifts with the arrival of the cycle. The lottery table for the number of precursor games when the cycle is reached defines the lottery value information regarding the number of precursor games for each type of precursor state of the migration destination. When the main control circuit 91 determines the number of precursor games by referring to the precursor game number lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle, the precursor game is set as the period of the precursor state of the transition destination determined by referring to the precursor transition lottery table at the time of reaching the cycle. Set the number.

(Rewriting lottery table in the cycle precursor)
FIG. 31 is a cycle precursor rewriting lottery table used for rewriting lottery of the precursor state performed during the precursor state that has shifted when the cycle is reached. The cycle precursor rewriting lottery table defines the lottery value information regarding the lottery result as to whether or not to rewrite the precursor state for each internal winning combination (lottery group A).

When the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery using the rewriting lottery table during the cycle precursor during the precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor to the present precursor while maintaining the type of the precursor state. That is, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor state to the PCZ precursor when it wins the rewrite lottery during the Gase PCZ precursor, rewrites the precursor state to the CZ precursor when it wins the rewrite lot during the Gase CZ precursor, and rewrites it during the Gase ART precursor. When the lottery is won, the precursor state is rewritten to the ART precursor.

Further, when the main control circuit 91 wins a rewrite lottery using the cycle precursor rewrite lottery table during the present precursor, one privilege (stock) according to the type of the precursor state is given. That is, the main control circuit 91 grants one more PCZ stock when the rewrite lottery is won during the PCZ precursor, and further grants one CZ stock when the rewrite lottery is won during the CZ precursor, and during the ART precursor. If you win the rewrite lottery, you will be given one more stock in the ART state (a total of two will be given, including the precursors before the rewrite lottery).

(PCZ type lottery table)
FIG. 32 is a PCZ type lottery table that is referred to when a Gase PCZ precursor or a PCZ precursor is determined in the lottery for transition to the precursor state. The PCZ type lottery table defines lottery value information for the PCZ type. The pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has PCZ1 and PCZ2 having different expectations for the ART state as the types of PCZ. The main control circuit 91 determines the type of PCZ when the Gase PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor is determined, and in response to this determination, the sub-control circuit 101 fuels the transition to the PCZ of the type determined during the precursor state. Perform the production. Further, when the PCZ precursor (this precursor) is determined, the main control circuit 91 imparts a stock of the determined type of PCZ.

(CZ mode lottery table)
FIG. 33 is a CZ mode lottery table that is referred to when a Gase CZ precursor or a CZ precursor is determined in the lottery for transition to the precursor state. The CZ mode lottery table defines lottery value information for the CZ mode. The CZ mode is information that defines the degree of expectation for the ART state during CZ, and the degree of expectation for the ART state is the lowest in the CZ mode A, the next lowest in the CZ mode B, and the next in the CZ mode C. CZ mode D is the highest. The main control circuit 91 determines the CZ mode when the Gase CZ precursor or the CZ precursor is determined, and in response to this determination, the sub control circuit 101 has an effect of inciting the transition to the CZ after the end of the precursor, and the CZ thereof. Perform a production that suggests the degree of expectation of.

[Flow of games in PCZ]
Subsequently, the flow of the game in the PCZ will be described with reference to FIG. 34. As described above, the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has PCZ1 and PCZ2 as PCZs, but the PCZ1 and PCZ2 have the same playability, although the degree of expectation for the ART state is different.

The PCZ (PCZ1 and PCZ2) is a gaming state that continues for 14 games, basically continues until the number of games becomes 0, and the result is drawn by the ART lottery of the final game. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, during the PCZ, points are acquired based on the internal winning combination, and ART lottery is performed according to the points finally acquired. In addition, when the points acquired reach 100 points as described later, the ART lottery is always won.

The ease of earning points differs between PCZ1 and PCZ2, and it is easier for PCZ2 to earn points than for PCZ1. Therefore, in pachislot 1, if the PCZ2 reaches 100 points (ART confirmed) before 14 games have passed, it ends in the middle and shifts to the ART state. On the other hand, with regard to PCZ2, even when 100 points are reached, the game continues until the number of games becomes zero. If the number of points exceeds 100, a fixed amount of points will be given according to 100 points, and an ART lottery will be given based on the points of more than 100 points.

For example, if the acquired points are 80 points, only the ART lottery corresponding to the 80 points is performed. Further, for example, when the acquired points are 180 points, one stock in the ART state is given for 100 points, and the stock in the ART state is given according to the ART lottery according to the excess 80 points. (Up to 2).

As a result of the ART lottery according to the acquired points, when the stock in the ART state is given, the gaming state shifts to the ART state, and when the stock in the ART state is not given, the gaming state shifts to the normal state. When a bonus is won during the PCZ, the main control circuit 91 grants one stock in the ART state as described above, and also performs an ART lottery according to the points at that time.

[Various lottery tables used during PCZ]
Subsequently, various lottery tables used for various lottery performed in the PCZ will be described with reference to FIGS. 35 to 37. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(PCZ middle addition point lottery table)
35 and 36 are a PCZ addition point lottery table for drawing points to be added with respect to the currently acquired points. In the PCZ middle addition point lottery table B shown in FIG. 36, when the internal winning combination is the abbreviations “push order bell”, “push order lip 1”, “push order lip 2”, “replay 1”, and “replay 3” shown in FIG. The lottery table referred to in FIG. 35, and the PCZ middle addition point lottery table A shown in FIG. 35 is a lottery table referred to when a combination other than these is an internal winning combination. In addition, FIGS. 35 (A) and 36 (A) are PCZ addition point lottery tables referred to in PCZ1, and FIGS. 35 (B) and 36 (B) are PCZs referred to in PCZ2. It is a medium addition point lottery table.

The PCZ middle addition point lottery table defines the lottery value information for the points to be added for each internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 refers to the PCZ middle addition point lottery table during the PCZ, adds points, and performs ART lottery based on the final points.

(ART lottery table in PCZ)
FIG. 37 is an ART lottery table in PCZ referred to at the time of ART lottery according to the points acquired during PCZ, and FIG. 37 (A) shows an ART lottery in PCZ referred to at the time of ART lottery of PCZ1. It is a table, and FIG. 37 (B) is an ART lottery table in PCZ referred to at the time of ART lottery of PCZ2.

The ART lottery table in the PCZ defines the lottery value information about the lottery result of the ART lottery for each point acquired in the PCZ. In the ART lottery table in PCZ, the information of the lottery value when the acquired points are 100 points is omitted, but when the acquired points are 100 points, the ART lottery is always won as described above. In the final game of the PCZ, the main control circuit 91 refers to the ART lottery table in the PCZ and performs the ART lottery according to the points acquired in the PCZ. As a result of this lottery, if a winner is won, one stock in the ART state is given, and the game state shifts to the ART state. On the other hand, if the lottery is not won, the gaming state shifts to the normal state.

[Flow of games during CZ]
Subsequently, the flow of the game in the CZ will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. During the CZ, a battle is performed between the ally character and the enemy character, and if the ally character wins, the ART win is confirmed, and if the ally character loses, the ART becomes non-win, which is normal. It shifts to the state (CZ ends). As shown in FIG. 38 (A), the CZ is composed of a non-battle section and a battle section. During the non-battle section of the CZ, a battle transition lottery is performed, and the result of the battle (victory, defeat, continuation, battle transition) is performed. None (battle transition non-winning)) is decided. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the defeat is not determined for 15 games from the start of the CZ, but the defeat is determined with a predetermined probability after the lapse of 15 games. Therefore, the CZ continues for 15 games + α. To do. The number of games elapsed during CZ is managed by the number of CZ games (15 games are set as the initial value at the start), and the number of CZ games is subtracted by 1 each time a game is played, and the number of CZ games becomes 0. After that, the defeat will be decided in the battle transition lottery. Further, when the bonus is won during CZ, the main control circuit 91 grants one stock in the ART state as described above.

As shown in FIG. 38 (A), when victory, defeat or continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery during the non-battle section, the non-battle section shifts to the battle section. The battle section continues for several games, and the ally character and the enemy character play against each other. For example, the sub-control circuit 101 produces an effect that the ally character finally wins when the victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, and when the defeat is decided in the battle transition lottery, the ally character finally wins. If a defeat is performed and the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, a production that suggests victory or defeat of the ally character will be performed, but a production that cannot be won or lost in this battle will be performed.

Further, during CZ, the game state is controlled according to the result of the battle transition lottery. Specifically, when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the game state from the CZ to the ART state after the end of the battle section. At this time, the main control circuit 91 performs an additional chance lottery in the final game of the winning battle section, and if the additional chance lottery is won, the additional chance is given before the transition to the ART state, and then the game is entered into the ART state. Transition state. The additional chance is a game in which one game is completed in which a player is given a further privilege in addition to the stock in the ART state, and the content thereof will be described later in FIG. 39 (G).

Further, when the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the game state from the CZ to the normal state after the end of the battle section, and when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery. Shifts to the non-battle section after the end of the battle section (maintains the game state in CZ). Further, in the battle transition lottery, a non-winning that does not shift to the battle section may be determined. In this case, the main control circuit 91 maintains the non-battle section as it is (the game state is in CZ). Keep it as it is).

As shown in FIG. 38 (B), in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the transition route from the non-battle section to the battle section is triggered by an internal winning combination (lottery group A) and a bell winning. There are two ways to do it. The transition to the battle section triggered by the internal winning combination is performed when the internal winning combination is determined (that is, at the start of the game), and the transition to the battle section triggered by the bell winning is performed at the time of winning judgment (that is, at the start of the game). It is performed after the third stop operation).

Here, as shown in FIG. 18, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the push order bells (“F_push order bell 1A” to “F_push order bell 6B”) are won, the push order is correct. If the bell ("C_TL bell", "C_XU bell", "C_XD bell", "C_small V bell") wins and the push order is incorrect, the bell does not win. The transition to the battle section triggered by the bell winning is not that the push order bell was decided as the internal winning role, but that the bell won the prize, that is, "C_TL bell" "C_XU bell" "C_XU bell" along the valid line. This is performed on condition that the combination of the symbols "C_XD bell" and "C_small V bell" is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 18, the combination of the symbols of "C_TL bell", "C_XU bell", "C_XD bell", and "C_small V bell" is pressed when "F_common bell A" and "F_common bell B" are won. Sequential bell Press order when winning (6 choices) Displayed along the valid line when the answer is correct. Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when the push order bell is determined as the internal winning combination during CZ, the correct push order or a part thereof is notified. Specifically, the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct push order (type of reel to be stopped in the first stop operation) during 15 games from the start of CZ, and 15 games from the start of CZ. After that, all the correct push orders are notified.

From the player's point of view, by following the notification, the push order will be correct with 2 choices when the push order bell is won for 15 games from the start of CZ, and after 15 games have passed from the start of CZ, when the push order bell is won. Be sure to press the correct answer. Therefore, in the pachi-slot machine 1, it is possible to control so as not to depend only on the player's selection while interposing the player's selection. As described above, during the 15 games from the start of the CZ, the defeat may not be determined in the battle transition lottery, and the defeat may be determined after the 15 games have passed. Therefore, during the CZ, the CZ is In the period that does not end, the battle transition lottery will be performed with two choices at the time of winning the push order bell, and in the period when there is a possibility that CZ will end, the battle transition lottery will be performed along with the push order bell winning.

Returning to FIG. 38 (B), the battle transition lottery triggered by the internal winning role is the so-called rare role (“0 (strong rare group)” “1 (watermelon)” “2 (weak rare group)” of the lottery group A. ) At the time of winning and the time of the loss (“4 (loss group)” of lottery group A). In the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the rare role, the defeat is not decided regardless of the presence or absence of the number of CZ games, and in the battle transition lottery at the time of the outlier win, the defeat is decided if there is the number of CZ games. If there is no CZ game number, defeat may be decided.

In addition, the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell prize is not determined to be defeated regardless of the number of CZ games, like the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the rare role, but the battle transition triggered by the bell prize. The lottery is performed by referring to the battle mode, unlike the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the rare role. The battle mode is information that defines the probability that the victory will be decided in the battle transition lottery, and the higher the battle mode, the higher the probability that the victory will be decided.

This battle mode is promoted with a predetermined probability when it is decided to continue in the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning. Therefore, if the player can answer the correct answer in the push order when the push order bell is won, not only can the player receive the battle transition lottery (without defeat), but also the expectation of victory can be increased with the promotion of the battle mode.

Subsequently, FIG. 38 (C) is a diagram showing the flow of the game during the battle section. Since the battle section continues for several games, the main control circuit 91 performs a victory rewriting process during this battle section to rewrite the destination battle into a victory based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A). Specifically, if a rare combination is won during the battle section triggered by the determination of defeat or continuation in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the defeat or continuation to victory with a predetermined probability. As a result, when the defeat or continuation is rewritten as a victory, the main control circuit 91 shifts the game state from the CZ to the ART state or an additional chance after the end of the battle section, and maintains the defeat without rewriting. When the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the CZ to the normal state after the end of the battle section and maintains the game state as it is without rewriting, the main control circuit 91 shifts the game state from the CZ to the normal state, and the main control circuit 91 changes the non-battle section after the end of the battle section. Migrate to.

<Outline of production during CZ>
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 39, an outline of the effect during the CZ will be described. As described above, during CZ, a production (battle production) in which a friendly character and an enemy character play against each other is performed, and the outcome of the battle production is determined according to the success or failure of the ART winning. In pachislot 1, a ally character who plays against an enemy character is selected from the four characters A to D in CZ, and a battle effect is performed.

As shown in FIG. 39 (D), these four characters have different expectations for winning (ART winning) in the battle production, with character A having the lowest expectation of victory and character B having the next expectation of victory. Is low, character C has the next lowest expectation of victory, and character D has the highest expectation of victory. The selection of the character is performed based on the CZ mode (see FIG. 31) determined at the time of transition to the Gase CZ precursor or the CZ precursor, and in the case of the CZ mode A, the character A is selected and in the case of the CZ mode B. Character B is selected, character C is selected in the case of CZ mode C, and character D is selected in the case of CZ mode D.

From the player's point of view, the success expectation of CZ can be estimated from the type of ally character in CZ. In FIG. 39 (D), the internal CZ mode and the ally character in the production are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control circuit 101 corresponds to the CZ mode. The ally character may be determined with a probability.

Further, as shown in FIG. 39 (E), during the battle production, the production is controlled based on the result of the battle transition lottery. Specifically, when the victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 directs the ally character to attack the enemy character during the battle section and finally defeats the enemy character, and shifts to the battle. If defeat is decided in the lottery, the enemy character attacks the ally character during the battle section, and finally the ally character collapses, and if the non-winning is decided in the battle transition lottery, the battle production is performed. Not performed. Further, when the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 has an effect of inciting victory or defeat during the battle section, for example, an ally character attacks an enemy character but cannot defeat the enemy character. The production and the production that the enemy character attacks the ally character, but the ally character withstands the attack.

Here, as shown in FIG. 39 (F), the attack pattern when the ally character attacks the enemy character is controlled based on the battle mode. Specifically, when the sub-control circuit 101 produces an effect of attacking an enemy character when the battle mode is 0, the sub-control circuit 101 produces an effect of launching a weak attack by the ally character and attacks the enemy character when the battle mode is 1. When the ally character makes a medium attack, and when the battle mode is 2, the ally character makes a strong attack, and the battle mode is 3. Occasionally, when performing an effect of attacking an enemy character, an effect is performed in which a ally character unleashes a mystery.

As mentioned above, the higher the battle mode, the higher the probability that the victory will be decided in the battle transition lottery. Therefore, from the player's point of view, the expectation that the ally character will win is expected from the type of attack that the ally character has delivered. Can have. In addition, in FIG. 39 (F), the internal battle mode and the type of attack in the production are made to correspond one-to-one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control circuit 101 corresponds to the battle mode. You may decide the type of attack that the ally character launches with a certain probability.

<Outline of additional chances>
Subsequently, the outline of the additional chance will be described with reference to FIG. 39 (G). As shown in FIG. 38 (A), when a ally character defeats an enemy character during CZ, in addition to the privilege of winning ART, a privilege of additional chance may be given. In this additional chance, the player is given a privilege according to the chance type determined by the additional lottery described later (see FIG. 45 described later). FIG. 39 (B) shows the chance type and the content of the privilege to be given. For example, when the additional chance 3 is determined as the chance type, the main control circuit 91 grants the player 30 guaranteed games in the ART state, which will be described later.

The result of the additional lottery is notified by a game (additional chance) that completes one game. Specifically, the sub-control circuit 101 displays four benefits including the privilege corresponding to the determined chance type, then rotates these four benefits, and the privilege corresponding to the finally determined chance type. Is displayed to notify the player of the result of the additional lottery. At this time, the sub-control circuit 101 notifies the degree of expectation of the higher privilege by the pattern of the display arrangement of the four benefits, the rotation pattern, the background color, and the like. For example, when a higher privilege (additional chance 10 or the like) is determined, the sub-control circuit 101 has a higher probability of producing an additional chance effect in a special mode than when a lower privilege is determined.

[Various lottery tables used during CZ]
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 40 to 45, various lottery tables used for various lottery performed during CZ will be described. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(Battle transition lottery table A during CZ)
FIG. 40 is a battle transition lottery table A during CZ used for the battle transition lottery triggered by the above-mentioned internal winning combination, and FIG. 40 (A) shows the case where the number of CZ games is 0 (that is, from the start of CZ). It is a battle transition lottery table A in CZ referred to after 15 games have passed, and FIG. 40 (B) is referred to when the number of CZ games is larger than 0 (that is, between 15 games from the start of CZ). It is a battle transition lottery table A in CZ.

The battle transition lottery table A during CZ defines information on the lottery value for the lottery result of the battle transition lottery for each presence / absence of the number of CZ games and the internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 performs a battle transition lottery using the battle transition lottery table A during the CZ at the start of each game in the CZ, and when a determination other than the non-winning is determined in this lottery, the next game is shifted to the battle section.

(Battle transition lottery table B during CZ)
FIG. 41 is a CZ medium battle transition lottery table B used for the battle transition lottery triggered by the above-mentioned bell winning. The battle transition lottery table B during CZ is referred to at the time of winning the bell, and defines the lottery value information about the lottery result of the battle transition lottery for each current battle mode. When the bell wins a prize in the CZ (that is, when the combination of the symbols "C_TL bell", "C_XU bell", "C_XD bell", and "C_small V bell" is displayed along the effective line), the main control circuit 91 is displayed. When a battle transition lottery is performed using the battle transition lottery table B during CZ and a non-winning prize is determined in this lottery, the next game is shifted to the battle section.

(CZ medium battle game number lottery table)
FIG. 42 is a CZ medium battle game number lottery table for determining the length of the battle section. The lottery table for the number of battle games during CZ defines information on the lottery value for the length of the battle section (number of battle games) for each result (continuation, defeat or victory) of the battle transition lottery. When the continuation, defeat, or victory is determined as a result of the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 refers to the battle game number lottery table during CZ and determines the number of battle games indicating the length of the battle section.

(Battle mode promotion lottery table during CZ)
FIG. 43 is a CZ medium battle mode promotion lottery table used for the above-mentioned battle mode promotion lottery. The battle mode promotion lottery table during CZ defines the lottery value information about the lottery result of the promotion lottery for each CZ mode. When the main control circuit 91 is determined to continue in the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning, the main control circuit 91 refers to the battle mode promotion lottery table during CZ, performs the battle mode promotion lottery, and if it wins, the battle mode. Is promoted by one.

(Victory rewriting lottery table in CZ)
FIG. 44 is a CZ middle victory rewriting lottery table used to rewrite the result of the battle based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A) determined during the battle section. The winning rewrite lottery table in CZ defines the lottery value information about the lottery result of the rewrite lottery for each internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 performs a rewrite lottery with reference to the victory rewrite lottery table during the CZ during the battle section, and if the rewrite lottery is won during the battle section of continuation or defeat, the result of the battle is rewritten as victory. Also, if you win the rewrite lottery during the winning battle section, you will be given one more stock in the ART state.

(Additional lottery table when the battle is won during CZ)
FIG. 45 is an additional lottery table at the time of winning the battle in CZ, which is used for the additional lottery for determining whether or not to play the game of the additional chance when the battle in CZ is won. The additional lottery table at the time of winning the battle during CZ defines the lottery value information about the lottery result of the additional lottery for each CZ mode. The main control circuit 91 adds a lottery to the final game of the winning battle section, and when a non-addition chance of 0 is determined, the corresponding privilege is given, and the sub control circuit 101 gives the sub-control circuit 101 in the next one game. The above-mentioned additional chance to notify the privilege to be given is produced.

[Outline of the game in the ART state]
Next, the flow of the game in the ART state will be described. As shown in FIG. 46 (A), in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ART state is composed of a normal ART, a special ART, an addition zone, and a pullback zone. The normal ART and the special ART are battle-type ART states in which a ally character and an enemy character battle each other.

During normal ART, battles from the 1st round to the 4th round are held, and if you win the battle of the 4th round, you will shift to a special ART. During the special ART, a battle with a different effect from the normal ART is performed, the special ART continues as long as the victory is achieved, and a part of the victory shifts to the additional zone. If you lose the battle during normal ART or special ART, you will move to the pullback zone. During the pullback zone, a pullback lottery is performed, and if a pullback lottery is won, the pullback zone shifts to the normal ART or special ART that was staying before moving to the pullback zone, and the pullback zone is set without winning the pullback lottery. When finished, the gaming state shifts from the ART state to the normal state.

[Flow of games during normal ART]
Subsequently, the flow of the game during the normal ART will be described with reference to FIGS. 46 and 47. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the normal ART is a battle-type ART state, but the normal ART is a two-part ART in which two types of battles, a first-person battle and a second-person battle, are performed. As shown in FIG. 46 (B), an ART is usually composed of an opening, a first-person battle, a second-person battle, a pullback zone, an interval, and a digest.

When the game state shifts from the normal state or the chance zone to the ART state, the game state first shifts to the opening of the normal ART. As shown in FIG. 46 (C), the opening is in a state of staying for 20 games, and the main control circuit 91 performs a lottery for shifting to the digest and a lottery for adding the guaranteed number of games during the opening. The number of guaranteed games in the ART state is the same as the number of CZ games in CZ, and if there is a guaranteed number of games, defeat is not determined, and if the number of guaranteed games is exhausted, defeat is determined. is there.
When 20 games have passed during the opening, the battle shifts to the first battle, and when the lottery for shifting to the digest is won during the opening, the battle shifts to the digest.

The first battle is a state of staying for seven games, and the main control circuit 91 performs a winning lottery for the first battle in the first game, and an additional lottery for the guaranteed number of games in the second to seventh games. Do. If you win the victory lottery in the first battle, the number of guaranteed games will be added, and you will be given the right to avoid defeat only once in the second battle (the guarantee flag will be turned on).
When 7 games have passed during the first battle, the battle shifts to the second battle. That is, in pachislot 1, regardless of the result of the first battle, the battle always shifts to the second battle.

In the second battle, almost the same processing as CZ is performed. Specifically, the main control circuit 91 performs a battle transition lottery during the second battle, and controls the game according to the result (win, defeat, continuation) of the battle transition lottery. At this time, since the second battle is in the ART state, unlike during CZ, the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning is not performed, and only the battle transition lottery triggered by the internal winning combination is performed.
If you win the second battle up to the third round, you will move to the interval, and if you win the second battle in the fourth round, you will move to the special ART. Also, if you lose in the second battle, you will move to the pullback zone.

The pullback zone is in a state of continuing for 10 games + α, and the main control circuit 91 normally pulls back to ART. In addition, the main control circuit 91 also performs a continuous lottery of the pullback zone when 10 games have passed since the pullback zone started. If you win the pullback lottery to the normal ART, it will be treated the same as the victory of the second battle, and the stage of the battle during the normal ART will proceed (for example, from the first round to the second round). Therefore, for example, in the pullback zone after losing the second battle of the fourth round, if the pullback lottery is won, it means that the second battle of the fourth round has been won, and the game shifts to the special ART.
If you win the pullback lottery during the pullback zone, if the second battle before the transition to the pullback zone is the second battle up to the third round, then move to the interval, and if it is the second battle in the fourth round, Then, it shifts to a special ART. Further, if the pullback zone does not win the pullback lottery and leaks to the continuous lottery in the pullback zone, the ART state is terminated and the normal state is entered.

The interval is a state of staying for 5 games, and the main control circuit 91 performs a transition lottery to the digest. When 5 games have passed during the interval, the first battle of the next stage is started. For example, if 5 games elapse during the interval after winning the second battle in the first round, the battle shifts to the first battle in the second round. In addition, if the transition to digest lottery is won during the interval, the transition to digest is subsequently performed.

The digest is in a state of staying for 10 games, and the main control circuit 91 draws an additional number of guaranteed games. When 10 games have passed during the digest, the interval is subsequently changed. The transition to the digest is treated the same as the victory of the second battle, and the stage of the battle during normal ART progresses. For example, if you shift from the interval that was transferred after winning the second battle of the first round to the digest, it will be treated the same as winning the second battle of the second round, and the interval after 10 games will be the second battle of the second round. It will be the interval after winning. If you win the second battle of the fourth round, you will shift to the special ART without shifting to the interval, so the lottery to shift to the digest during the interval will be during the interval after winning the second battle of the first round and the second It will be performed during the interval after the victory of the second battle of the second round, and will not be performed during the interval after the victory of the second battle of the third round.

If you win a bonus during normal ART, it will be treated the same as winning the second battle, and the stage of the battle during normal ART will proceed, and when you win "F_Cherry D" or "All prizes C", The main control circuit 91 adds 50 games to the guaranteed number of games.

<Flow of the game during the second battle>
Next, the flow of the game during the second battle will be described. During the second battle, a battle is performed between the ally character and the enemy character, and as shown in FIG. 47 (C), if the ally character wins, the ART state continues, and the normal ART is in progress. The stage of the battle progresses to the next battle, and there is a chance to shift from a normal ART to a special ART, or to add it. On the other hand, in the battle during the second battle, if the ally character is defeated, it shifts to the pullback zone.

The second battle is composed of a non-battle section and a battle section, and a battle transition lottery is performed during the non-battle section, and the result of the second battle (victory, defeat, continuation, no battle transition (battle transition non-winning)) It is determined. During the second battle, as long as the number of guaranteed games remains, the defeat is not decided, and the defeat is decided with a predetermined probability after the number of guaranteed games is exhausted.

As shown in FIG. 47 (D), in the second battle, the non-battle section shifts to the battle section by a battle transition lottery based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A). This battle transition lottery is for the winning of the out-of-court (lottery group A "4 (loss group)") and the roles other than the out-of-court (lottery group A "0 (strong rare group)" "1 (watermelon)" "2". (Weak rare group) "" 3 (Bell group) ") In the battle transition lottery of roles other than the outliers, the defeat is not decided regardless of the stock in the ART state and the number of guaranteed games. In the battle transition lottery at the time of the loss, the defeat may be decided only when there is no stock in the ART state and the number of guaranteed games.

During the battle section of the second battle, the main control circuit 91 performs a victory rewriting process for rewriting the battle of the transition destination to victory, as in the case of CZ. Specifically, if a rare combination is won during the battle section triggered by the determination of defeat or continuation in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the defeat or continuation to victory with a predetermined probability. When defeat or continuation is rewritten as victory, it is treated in the same way as when victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, and the stage of battle during normal ART progresses.

In addition, during the second battle, the ally character and the enemy character will play against each other based on the result of the battle transition lottery. For example, in the sub-control circuit 101, when the victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, the ally character finally wins, the stage of the battle progresses to the next battle, and the defeat is decided in the battle transition lottery. If so, the effect is that the ally character is finally defeated. Further, when the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 is directed to incite victory or defeat of the ally character, for example, the ally character attacks the enemy character, and the battle stage progresses to the next battle. Perform productions that suggest that there is a possibility.

In this way, the flow of the game of the second player is basically the same as the flow of the game during the CZ, but during the second battle, the number of times the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery (number of continuations) It differs from the game in CZ in that it has a ceiling. That is, as shown in FIG. 47 (E), the main control circuit 91 adds 1 to the number of continuations when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery during the second battle, and when the number of continuations reaches the ceiling. , Rewrite the continuation decided at that time to victory. Here, if the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, the effect of inciting the victory of the ally character is performed. Therefore, by providing a ceiling for the number of continuations, from the player's point of view, if the incitement of victory continues. Will increase the chances of actually winning, so it is possible to prevent the game from being less enjoyable.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 75 to 99, the contents of various processes executed by the main CPU 93 of the main control circuit 91 by using the program will be described.

<Main pachislot operation processing controlled by the main CPU>
First, the procedure of the main operation processing (processing after the power is turned on) of the pachi-slot machine 1 performed under the control of the main CPU 93 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 75 (hereinafter referred to as the main flow).

First, when the power is turned on to the pachi-slot machine 1, the main CPU 93 performs an initialization process at the time of turning on the power (S1). In this process, it is determined whether the backup has been performed normally, whether the settings have been changed appropriately, and the like, and initialization is performed according to the determination result.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an initialization process at the end of one game (S2). In this initialization process, the data in the designated storage area in the main RAM 95 is cleared. The designated storage area referred to here is a storage area such as an internal winning combination storage area and a display combination storage area, which requires data to be erased for each unit game (game).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs medal reception / start check processing (S3). In this process, the input of the medal sensor and the start switch 79 is checked.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an internal lottery process (S4). In this process, the main CPU 93 refers to the internal lottery table according to the current gaming state, and draws a winning combination determined as an internal winning combination from a plurality of winning combinations. When the main CPU 93 determines the internal winning combination, it also determines the lottery group A and the lottery group B according to the internal winning combination.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the combination related to the bonus (“F_BB”) is determined as the internal winning combination (S5). When the winning combination related to the bonus is determined as the internal winning combination (YES), the main CPU 93 performs the BB winning control process described later in FIG. 76 (S6).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a navigation control process (S7). In this process, the main CPU 93 follows a navigation content for each game state shown in FIG. 20, and based on the internal winning combination determined in S4 and the current game state, a mode of a predetermined stop operation (for example, for example) for the player. Press order) is notified.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs the control process for each start state, which will be described later in FIG. 77 (S8). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a start command generation process (S9). In this process, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 95. The command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 by the command data transmission process in the interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. 100. The start command data includes various information such as an internal winning combination, information on the main navigation, and a game state.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs the reel stop initial setting process described later in FIG. 97 (S10). In this process, the reel stop control information used for the stop control is determined according to the internal winning combination determined in S4. The determined reel stop control information is stored in the main RAM 95 and used in the reel stop control process of S12.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a reel rotation start process after performing the wait process (S11). In this process, the main CPU 93 requests the start of rotation of all reels. Then, when the start of rotation of all reels is requested, each reel is accelerated and controlled until its rotation speed reaches a constant speed by an interrupt process executed at a constant cycle (1.1172 msec), and then the reels are accelerated and controlled. It is controlled so that the constant speed is maintained.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a reel stop control process described later in FIG. 98 (S12).

Reel.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a winning determination medal payout process (S13). In this winning determination medal payout process, as a result of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R being stopped, based on the combination of symbols displayed along the valid line, according to the combination of the symbols such as medal payout and replay operation. Give profits. Further, in this process, the main CPU 93 generates data of the winning operation command and stores the command data in the communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 95. The winning operation command data includes various information such as a combination of symbols displayed along the valid line.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs the end-time state-based control process described later in FIG. 99 (S14). In this process, the main CPU 93 performs control according to the game state according to the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a bonus end check process (S15). In this process, the main CPU 93 ends the bonus state according to the number of medals paid out during the bonus state, and shifts the gaming state to the corresponding gaming state. Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a bonus operation check process (S16). In this process, the main CPU 93 activates the bonus according to the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an RT operation check process (S17). In this process, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state according to the combination of symbols displayed along the effective line. At this time, for example, when the RT state shifts to the RT3 state during ART preparation, the main CPU 93 is in a state corresponding to the ART state for the next game (for example, the game state before shifting to the ART preparation is the normal state). Is usually the opening of ART). When the RT operation check process is performed, the main CPU 93 returns the process to S2 assuming that one game (unit game) is completed.

<Control processing at the time of BB winning>
Next, the BB winning control process will be described with reference to FIG. 76. In the BB winning control process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current gaming state is in the normal state or the chance zone (S31).

When the current gaming state is in the normal state or the chance zone (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the BB type lottery with reference to the BB type lottery table shown in FIG. 74 (A) (S32). .. Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the BB type lottery has been won (S33), and if it has won (YES), sets the super BB as the BB type and stocks the ART state. One is given (S34). On the other hand, if the BB type lottery is not won (NO), it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is in the normal state (S35).

If the current gaming state is in the normal state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether "F_cherry D" or "all winnings C" has been determined as the internal winning combination (S36). ). If it is not the winning time of "F_cherry D" or "all winnings C" (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the BB winning ART lottery table of FIG. 74 (B) at the time of BB winning. The ART lottery is performed (S37), and it is determined whether or not the ART lottery has been won (S38).

If you win the ART lottery at the time of BB winning (YES), or if you win "F_Cherry D" or "All winnings C" in S36 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently continues. One stock in the ART state is given (S39).

Following the processing of S39, if the ART lottery at the time of winning the BB is not won in S38 (NO), if it is not in the normal state in S35 (NO), following the processing in S34, or in the normal state or in S31. If it is not in the chance zone (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs other BB winning processing (S40), and ends the BB winning control processing. The other BB winning processes refer to, for example, the processes described above when explaining the flow of the game in each game state.

<Control processing by state at start>
Next, the control process for each start state will be described with reference to FIG. 77. In the start state-based control process, the main CPU 93 first updates the number of various games (S51). For example, when the guaranteed number of games remains during normal ART, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the guaranteed number of games, and the number of various games according to the current game state is increased with the start of this game. Subtract 1 etc.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the normal state (S52). When the gaming state is in the normal state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the start-time normal middle process described later in FIG. 78 (S53).

On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the normal state (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the PCZ (S54). If the gaming state is in PCZ (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the start PCZ processing described later in FIG. 79 (S55).

On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in PCZ (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in CZ (S56). When the gaming state is in CZ (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the start-time CZ in-process, which will be described later in FIG. 80 (S57).

On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in CZ (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is normally in ART (S58). Here, the term "during normal ART" in S58 means any of the opening, first battle, second battle, pullback zone, interval, and digest during normal ART. When the gaming state is in the normal ART (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the process during the normal ART at the start, which will be described later in FIG. 81 (S59).

On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the normal ART (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the special ART (S60). Here, during the special ART in S60, in addition to the opening during the special ART, the battle during the special ART, the pullback zone and the interval, the addition zones 1 to 3 are also included. When the gaming state is in the special ART (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the start-time special ART in-process, which will be described later in FIG. 89 (S61).

On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the special ART (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the bonus state (S62). If the gaming state is in the bonus state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the start-time bonus in-process process described later in FIG. 96 (S63).

Following the processing of S53, S55, S57, S58, S61, S63, or when the gaming state is not in the bonus state in S62 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs other processing (S64). , Ends state-specific control processing at start. For example, when the main CPU 93 wins the additional chance in the additional lottery, the main CPU 93 performs the additional chance game in which one game is completed, and sets a predetermined game state in the next game.

<Normal processing at start>
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 78, the normal processing at the start will be described. In the normal middle processing at the start, the main CPU 93 first determines whether or not various precursors are in progress (S71). If the sign is in progress (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a sign rewrite lottery (S72). In this process, for example, during the precursory state of the transition triggered by the internal winning combination, the main CPU 93 performs the precursory rewriting lottery with reference to the precursory rewriting lottery table shown in FIG. 27, and shifts with the cycle as an opportunity. During the precursory state, the rewrite lottery of the precursory state is performed with reference to the periodic precursory rewrite lottery table shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 rewrites the type of the precursor state according to the lottery result (S73). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets the game state of the next game according to the number of precursor games and the type of precursor state (S74), and ends the normal processing at the start. For example, when the number of precursor games is 0 and the type of precursor state is Gase PCZ precursor, the main CPU 93 sets the non-precursor of the normal state as the game state of the next game, and the number of precursor games is If it is 0 and the type of precursor state is ART precursor, ART preparation is set as the game state of the next game. Further, when the number of precursor games is larger than 0, the main CPU 93 maintains the current gaming state (among various precursors in the normal state).

On the other hand, if it is not in the precursor in S71 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is the time of winning the CB (S75). In the case of winning the CB (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently adds 1 to the number of CBs (S76), and whether or not one cycle of the game is completed (that is, the number of CBs reaches 5 times). Whether or not) is determined (S77). If it is not at the time of reaching the cycle (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the normal processing at the start, while at the time of reaching the cycle (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently responds to the next game according to the current cycle rank. The precursor state is set (S78). Specifically, the main CPU 93 determines the precursor state according to the cycle rank with reference to the cycle arrival precursor transition lottery table shown in FIG. 28, and sets it in the next game.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 draws and sets the number of precursor games with reference to the cycle arrival precursor game number lottery table shown in FIG. 30, and when the type of precursor state is Gase PCZ precursor or PCZ precursor. Refers to the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. 32 to draw and set the type of PCZ, and when the type of the precursor state is Gase CZ precursor or CZ precursor, the CZ mode shown in FIG. The CZ mode is drawn and set with reference to the lottery table (S79). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 draws and sets the cycle rank of the next cycle with reference to the cycle rank lottery table shown in FIG. 29 (S80), and ends the normal processing at the start.

On the other hand, if it is not the CB winning time in S75 (NO), the precursory transition lottery is performed according to the internal winning combination (lottery group A) and the internal mode with reference to the normal time precursor transition lottery table shown in FIG. (S81), it is determined whether or not any of the precursory states has been won (S82). If any of the precursor states is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the precursor state of the type that wins the next game (S83).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 draws and sets the number of precursor games with reference to the precursor game number lottery table shown in FIG. 26, and when the type of precursor state is Gase PCZ precursor or PCZ precursor, FIG. The PCZ type is drawn and set with reference to the PCZ type lottery table shown in 32, and when the type of the precursor state is Gase CZ precursor or CZ precursor, the CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. 33 is used. The CZ mode is drawn and set with reference to it (S84). Following the processing of S84, or if the precursor state has not been won in S82 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the normal time internal mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. 24 to the internal mode. The transition lottery is performed, the lottered internal mode is set (S85), and the normal processing at the start is ended.

<Processing during PCZ at start>
Subsequently, the process during PCZ at the start will be described with reference to FIG. 79. In the PCZ middle processing at the start, first, the main CPU 93 performs the point addition lottery in the PCZ with reference to the PCZ middle addition point lottery table shown in FIG. 35 or FIG. 36 (S91). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 updates the points according to the lottery result (S92).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the type of PCZ is PCZ2 and the points have reached 100 points (S93).

If the discontinuation is not determined in the continuation lottery (NO), the pullback zone processing during the special ART is terminated, while if the discontinuation is determined (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently continues. The normal state is set in the next game (S377), and the pullback zone processing during the special ART is completed.

<Interval processing during special ART>
Next, the interval processing during the special ART will be described with reference to FIG. 94. In the special ART middle interval processing, first, the main CPU 93 refers to the special ART middle guaranteed game number lottery table of FIG. 60 to perform an additional lottery for the guaranteed number of games (S391), and the number of guaranteed games according to the lottery result. Is updated (S392). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not five games have elapsed during the interval (S393). If 5 games have not passed during the interval (NO), the interval processing during the special ART is ended, while if 5 games have passed (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently moves to the next game. The opening is set (S394), and the interval processing during the special ART is terminated.

<Processing in the additional zone>
Next, with reference to FIG. 95, the processing in the additional zone will be described. In the process in the additional zone, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the process is in the additional zone 1 or the additional zone 2 (S401). If it is in the additional zone 1 or the additional zone 2 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs an additional lottery of the guaranteed number of games by referring to the guaranteed game number lottery table in the additional zone of FIG. 71 (S402). ), The guaranteed number of games is updated according to the lottery result (S403).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a continuous lottery of the additional zone 1 or the additional zone 2 with reference to the additional zone continuous lottery table of FIG. 72 (S404), and determines whether or not the discontinuation is determined (S405). If the discontinuation is not determined (NO), the processing in the additional zone is terminated, while if the discontinuation is determined (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the opening for the next game. Then (S406), the processing in the additional zone is completed.

Further, in S401, if it is not in the addition zone 1 or the addition zone 2 (NO), it is in the addition zone 3, so that the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the ART stock lottery table in the addition zone of FIG. 73. The stock lottery in the ART state is performed (S407), and the number of stocks in the ART state is updated according to the lottery result (S408).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not 30 games have passed in the additional zone 3 (S409). If 30 games have not passed (NO), the addition zone is terminated, while if 30 games have passed (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the opening for the next game (S410) and is in the addition zone. End the process.

<Processing during bonus at start>
Next, with reference to FIG. 96, the process during the start bonus will be described. In the start bonus processing, the main CPU 93 first determines whether or not the stock in the ART state is 0 (S411). When the stock in the ART state is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a stock lottery in the ART state with reference to the ART lottery table in BB of FIG. 74 (C) (S412), and draws. The number of stocks in the ART state is updated according to the result (S413), and the processing during the bonus at the start is ended.

On the other hand, when the stock in the ART state is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the guaranteed game number lottery table during BB in FIGS. 74 (D) and 74 (E), and draws an additional number of guaranteed games. (S414), the guaranteed number of games is updated according to the lottery result (S415), and the processing during the bonus at the start is completed.

<Reel stop initial setting process>
Next, the reel stop initial setting process will be described with reference to FIG. 97. In the reel stop initial setting process, first, the main CPU 93 refers to the reel stop initial setting table (not shown) and acquires the reel stop number based on the internal winning combination or the like (S431). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 refers to the rotating cylinder stop initial setting table, and acquires each information based on the rotating cylinder stop number (S432). In this process, the main CPU 93 acquires various information associated with the rotation stop number, such as determination data for each pressing order.

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores the rotating identifier in the symbol code storage area (not shown) (S433). That is, the main CPU 93 sets the bits of the entire symbol code storage area (excluding the unused area) to "1". Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores 3 in the stop button non-operation counter (S434), and ends the reel stop initial setting process. The stop button non-operation counter is for determining the number of stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R that have not been stopped by the player, and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 95.

<Reel stop control process>
Subsequently, the reel stop control process will be described with reference to FIG. 98. In the reel stop control process, the main CPU 93 first determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (S451). This process is a process of determining whether or not a signal is output from the stop switch board 80. If the main CPU 93 determines that the valid stop button has not been pressed (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S451.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that a valid stop button has been pressed (YES), the pressing order storage area (not shown) and the operation stop button storage area (FIG. (Not shown) and is updated (S452). That is, the main CPU 93 manages the type of the pressed stop button by updating the operation stop button storage area, and updates the pressing order storage area based on the type of the pressed stop button and its order. Use to manage the order of stop operations (push order).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the stop button non-operation counter (S453), determines the search target reel from the operation stop button (S454), and stores the stop start position in the main RAM 95 based on the symbol counter (S45). S455). The stop start position is a symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the corresponding reel when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch board 80.

Next, the main CPU 93 executes the sliding piece number determination process (S456). This sliding piece number determination process determines the number of sliding pieces specified at the stop start position based on the reel stop control information (stop table group) selected from the rotation cylinder stop initial setting table based on the internal winning combination. It is a process.

Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated reel stop command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The generation process is executed (S457). This reel stop command data represents the type of reel to be stopped, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or the planned stop position), and the like.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines the scheduled stop position based on the stop start position and the number of slip pieces determination data, and stores the stop schedule position in the main RAM 95 (S458). The planned stop position is a symbol position obtained by adding any of the predetermined numerical values "0" to "4" defined as the number of sliding pieces to the stop start position, and the symbol position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped. Is.

Next, the main CPU 93 sets the scheduled stop position as the search symbol position (S459). Next, the main CPU 93 executes the symbol code storage process (S460). This symbol code storage process acquires the symbol code of the check symbol position data for checking the symbol position of the rotating reel.

Next, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol code storage area from the symbol code acquired in the symbol code storage process (S461). Next, the main CPU 93 performs a control change process (S462). In this control change process, the stop information group used for stopping the reel is updated when the reel is at a specific stop position.

Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the pressed stop button is released (S463). This process is a process of determining whether or not a signal is no longer output from the stop switch board 80.

If the main CPU 93 determines that the pressed stop button has not been released (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S463. On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that the pressed stop button is released (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (S464). Here, if it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the pull-in priority storage process (S465), and executes the process of step S41. In this pull-in priority storage process, the pull-in priority of all the symbols of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is determined. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the reel stop control process.

<Control processing by state at the end>
Next, with reference to FIG. 99, the control process according to the state at the end will be described. In the end state-based control process, the main CPU 93 first determines whether or not it is in the non-battle section of the CZ (S471). If it is not in the non-battle section (NO), the control process for each state at the end is ended, while if it is in the non-battle section (YES), is the main CPU 93 subsequently a bell prize? Whether or not it is determined (S472).

If it is not a bell prize (NO), the control process for each state at the end is terminated, while if it is a bell prize (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently displays the CZ battle transition lottery table B in FIG. 41. With reference to this, a battle transition lottery triggered by a bell prize is performed (S473), and it is determined whether or not the transition lottery has been won (S474).

If the battle transition lottery has not been won (NO), the state-based control process at the end is terminated, while if the battle transition lottery has been won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines in FIG. 42. The number of battle games in CZ is drawn and set by referring to the lottery table (S475). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets the CZ battle section in the next game (S476).

Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the battle transition lottery has been won continuously (S477). If the continuation is not won (NO), the control process for each state at the end is terminated, while if the continuation is won (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently enters the battle mode during CZ in FIG. 43. The promotion lottery of the battle mode is performed with reference to the promotion lottery table (S478), the battle mode is updated according to the lottery result (S479), and the control process for each state at the end is completed.

<Interrupt processing controlled by the main CPU>
Subsequently, the interrupt process controlled by the main CPU 93 will be described with reference to FIG. 100. First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S511). Next, the main CPU 93 performs an input port check process (S512). In this process, signals input from various switches such as a stop switch are checked.

Next, the main CPU 93 performs a timer update process (S513). In this process, the main CPU 93 performs a process of subtracting a predetermined timer value for each interrupt process, for example. Next, the main CPU 93 performs a communication data transmission procedure (S514). In this process, the main CPU 93 transmits various commands stored in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95 to the sub control circuit 101.

Next, the main CPU 93 performs a reel control process (S515). In this process, the main CPU 93 starts rotating the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R when all the reels are requested to start rotating, and then each reel rotates at a constant speed. Drive and control three stepping motors. When the number of sliding pieces is determined, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol counter of the corresponding reel by the number of sliding pieces. Then, the main CPU 93 waits for the updated symbol counter to match the value corresponding to the scheduled stop position, and then drives and controls the corresponding stepping motor so that the rotation of the corresponding reel is decelerated and stopped. ..

Next, the main CPU 93 performs the lamp 7-segment drive process (S516). In this process, the main CPU 93 drives and controls the information display 14 to display the number of payouts, the number of credits, and the like. Next, the main CPU 93 performs a register reset process (S517). Then, after that, the main CPU 93 ends the interrupt process.

[Another example of CZ 1]
Although the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has been described above, the playability peculiar to the pachi-slot machine 1 is not limited to that described above. For example, in the above explanation, if a battle is won during CZ, the state shifts to the ART state, but during CZ, if the battle is won, the next battle is continued, and until the battle is defeated, or continuously for a predetermined number of times. The CZ may continue until the battle is won. In the following, such playability of CZ will be referred to as, for example, breakthrough type CZ.

Here, a breakthrough type CZ, which is another example of the CZ, will be described with reference to FIG. 101. The basic flow of the CZ is the same for the breakthrough type CZ described below. For example, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), in the breakthrough type CZ, the CZ is composed of a non-battle section and a battle section, and from the non-battle section to the battle section, a battle transition lottery triggered by an internal winning combination and a battle transition lottery If the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning is used and the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning, the promotion lottery of the battle mode is performed. Also, during CZ, as long as the number of CZ games remains, the defeat is not determined in the battle transition lottery, and depending on whether the number of CZ games remains or not, when the bell is won. The content of the notification is different.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), in the breakthrough type CZ, when the battle is won, one stock in the ART state is given, and the battle section returns to the non-battle section to perform the next battle. .. Then, if the battle of the next round is also won, one more stock in the ART state is given. As a result, the stock in the ART state will be granted for the number of wins in the battle (only for the number of minutes according to the stage of CZ), and even if the battle is defeated, the stock in the ART state will already be granted. If there is no stock in the ART state at the time of defeat in the battle, the game state shifts to the normal state, and if there is stock in the ART state at the time of defeat in the battle, the game state shifts to the ART state. To do.

In this way, in the breakthrough type CZ, the CZ continues as long as the battle is won, and each time the battle is won, the stock in the ART state is given. If the battle can be won indefinitely during CZ, the profit given to the player will be too large. Therefore, in the breakthrough type CZ, the number of wins is limited, for example, the character used for CZ. Since there are four players, it may be possible to win up to four times. In this case, the characters are switched each time the battle is won, and when all the characters win the battle, for example, an additional chance may be given.

Further, in the above description, since the character is associated with the CZ mode and the degree of expectation of victory in the battle during CZ is different, the result may be different depending on the order of the characters who challenge the battle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 101 (B), the order of the characters who challenge the battle may be managed in a scenario. It should be noted that this scenario (CZ scenario) may be determined, for example, when the Gase CZ precursor or the CZ precursor is determined during the normal state.

Also, in the battle during CZ, if the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the bell, the promotion lottery of the battle mode is performed, and the more the battle mode is promoted, the more the victory is decided in the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the bell. The probability of being done increases. In the breakthrough type CZ, the battle mode may be provided individually for each character, or may be commonly used during one CZ. In the former case, for example, even if the first character wins after promoting the battle mode, the second character will start from the lowest battle mode, and in the latter case, For example, if the first character wins after promoting the battle mode, the second character will take over the promoted battle mode and perform a battle.

Further, the handling of the number of CZ games is also arbitrary. For example, the number of CZ games may be provided individually for each character, or may be commonly used during one CZ. In the former case, for example, even if the first character wins after exhausting the number of CZ games, the battle of the second character is immediately defeated because the individual CZ game is used for the second character. As long as the number of CZ games of the second character remains, only a part of the correct push order will be notified at the time of winning the bell. On the other hand, in the latter case, for example, if the first character wins after digesting the number of CZ games, the number of CZ games does not remain in the second character, so the defeat may be decided immediately. Although there is a possibility, when the bell is won, all the correct push orders will be notified.

[Another example of CZ 2]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, since the CZ is terminated when the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery after the number of CZ games is exhausted, the duration of the CZ changes according to the result of the lottery. On the other hand, the CZ period may be a fixed number of games. Even in this case, a part or all of the correct push order may be notified at the time of winning the push order bell, and the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct push order for a predetermined period after the start of CZ. Then, during the predetermined period before the end of CZ, all the correct push orders are notified. For example, when the period of CZ is set to 15 games, the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct push order at the time of winning the push order bell from the start of CZ to the elapse of 10 games. , From the 11th game to the 15th game, all the correct push orders are notified when the push order bell is won. Then, the main control circuit 91 ends the CZ when the game of the fifteenth game after the start of the CZ ends.

[Effect of pachislot machine]
The pachislot machine 1 according to the present invention has been described above. According to such a pachislot machine 1, the following effects can be expected.

<Association between decisions regarding the progress of the game and production>
In the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 determines the Gase precursor for each game state not only for the main precursor when shifting from the normal state to the game state but also for the Gase precursor. That is, the main control circuit 91 determines the precursor state of the transition destination from among the Gase PCZ precursor, the Gase CZ precursor, the Gase ART precursor, the PCZ precursor, the CZ precursor, and the ART precursor during the normal state. As a result, when the precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 maintains the gaming state in the normal state even after the precursor is over, but when the precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 is the precursor. After the end, the game state is shifted to the corresponding game state.

On the other hand, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect according to the type of the precursor during the precursor or the present precursor. For example, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect suggesting that the Gase PCZ precursor and the PCZ precursor may shift to the PCZ when the precursor ends, and the Gase CZ precursor and the CZ precursor have the CZ after the end of the precursor. During the Gase ART precursor and the ART precursor, an effect suggesting that the transition to the ART state is performed after the end of the precursor is performed.

In this way, in the pachi-slot machine 1, the effect of inciting the type of game state determined on the main side can be performed on the sub side during the omen. As a result, in the pachislot machine 1, the tendency of the effect to be performed during the precursory sign can also be determined on the main side, and the effect can be associated with the decision on the main side.

Further, although the main control circuit 91 may rewrite the contradiction precursor to the present precursor during the precursor, the type of the contradiction precursor is also determined on the main side as in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, so that the player can see the contradiction. It is possible to rewrite the precursors of Gase without making them feel inconsistent. That is, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the game state that is fanned during the precursor can be grasped on the main side, when the Gase precursor is rewritten to the present precursor, the game state that is fanned during the precursor is higher than that of the game state that is fanned during the precursor. It is possible to prevent the player from being rewritten as a sign of a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player. For the player, if he shifts to CZ after the precursor, he feels not only a contradiction but also a loss, even though the effect of inciting the transition to the ART state was performed during the (Gase) precursor. I hug you. In this respect, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling dissatisfied by preventing the pachi-slot machine 1 from being rewritten as a sign of an unfavorable gaming state.

In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the transition to the precursory state is performed with the internal winning combination and the cycle as an opportunity, so that the playability can be diversified. For example, since the opportunity to shift to the precursory state comes periodically, the player can play the game with peace of mind. In addition, even if it takes a long time to reach the cycle, there will be an opportunity to shift to the precursory state depending on the internal winning role, so it is possible to have a sense of expectation for the transition to the precursory state at any time.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. Has a function.

The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80 to control the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a game control means. Further, the sub-control board 72 performs a predetermined effect according to the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub-control board 72 functions as an effect control means.

Further, since the main control board 71 determines one cycle rank from a plurality of cycle ranks that define the type of precursory state that shifts after the end of the game of one cycle at the start of the cycle, the main control board 71 serves as a cycle information determining means. Function. Further, since the main control board 71 determines the end of one cycle of the game according to the number of times the CB is determined as the internal winning combination, the main control board 71 functions as a counting means for counting the number of times the CB is established. At the same time, when the number of winnings of the CB reaches 5, it functions as a cycle determining means for determining that one cycle of the game is completed.

Further, the main control board 71 determines the precursor state when the game of one cycle is completed or according to the internal winning combination determined during the game of one cycle, so that the determination means, the first determination means, and the first are determined. 2 Functions as a decision-making means. In addition, the main control board 71 functions as a changing means because it performs a rewrite lottery to rewrite the ghost sign into the present sign during the sign state. Then, when the precursor state ends, the main control board 71 functions as a granting means because it imparts a privilege of shifting the gaming state to the gaming state according to the precursor state.

Further, since the sub-control board 72 executes the effect according to the type of the precursor via the liquid crystal display device 11 during the precursor state, the sub-control board 72 and the liquid crystal display device 11 function as the effect executing means. Further, the sub-control board 72 displays a counter on the liquid crystal display device 11 for counting the number of times the CB is established, and in particular, the sub-control board 72 and the liquid crystal display device 11 are displayed in order to make the counter display different according to the cycle rank. Functions as a display counter.

<Pullback control from the pullback zone>
Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the player loses the second battle of the normal ART, the player shifts to the pullback zone, and if the player succeeds in pulling back in the pullback zone, the player returns to the normal ART again. In Pachislot 1, the battle stage is usually advanced during ART, and if you break through the fourth round, you will move to a more advantageous special ART, but even if you succeed in pulling back in the pullback zone, when the second battle wins Similarly, the battle stage is usually advanced during ART. That is, in pachislot 1, instead of returning to the state before pulling back when the pullback is successful, it is possible to return to the state one step ahead of before pulling back, so that the player has the privilege of pulling back (progress of the stage). Can be given, and the interest of the game can be improved by pulling back.

By the way, if the pullback from the pullback zone and the victory of the second battle are exactly the same, the player's interest in the second battle will be diminished. Therefore, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the second player wins the battle, an additional lottery for the additional chance is performed, and when the player is pulled back from the pullback zone, the additional lottery for the additional chance is not performed. As a result, the player becomes interested in the result of the second battle, and it is possible to prevent the interest during the second battle from being lowered.

Further, in pachislot 1, during the pullback zone, a pullback lottery for whether or not to pull back to the normal ART and a continuous lottery for whether or not to continue the pullback zone (in other words, an end lottery for whether or not to end the pullback zone). However, the continuous lottery (end lottery) is not performed until 10 games have passed since the transition to the pullback zone. For the player, the game can be played with peace of mind for 10 games without worrying about the end, and the game will not end unless it is leaked to the continuous lottery, so the pullback zone ends even after 10 games have passed. You can play the game with a sense of tension, and the interest in the pullback zone will improve.

At this time, if a role other than the losing group is the winning role, there is a possibility of winning the pullback lottery, but there is no possibility that the discontinuation is decided by the continuous lottery, and the losing group is the winning role. In some cases, on the contrary, there is no possibility of winning the pullback lottery, while the continuation lottery may determine the discontinuation. From the perspective of the player, during the pullback zone, the flow of the subsequent game differs greatly depending on the type of winning role, so the player becomes interested in the winning role in the pullback zone, and the interest in the pullback zone is raised. Can be enhanced.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. Has a function.

The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80 to control the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a game control means. Further, the sub-control board 72 performs a predetermined effect according to the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub-control board 72 functions as an effect control means.

In addition, the main control board 71 performs a battle transition lottery during the second battle of the normal ART, and when the defeat is determined in this transition lottery, the second battle of the normal ART is ended and the player shifts to the pullback zone. Therefore, it functions as a continuation means for determining whether or not to continue the normal ART, and a first state transition means for shifting the gaming state from the normal ART to the pullback zone.

Further, when the main control board 71 performs a pullback lottery for whether or not to pull back to the normal ART during the pullback zone, a continuous lottery for whether or not to continue the pullback zone, and shifts from the normal ART to the pullback zone, Since 10 games are set as the number of games in the pullback zone and continuous lottery is not performed during the 10 games, the main control board 71 functions as a pullback determination means, an end determination means, and a right management means.
Then, when the main control board 71 decides to pull back in the pullback lottery, it pulls back the game state to the normal ART, and when it decides to discontinue in the continuous lottery, it ends the pullback zone and shifts the game state to the normal state. 2 Functions as a state transition means.

Further, when the main control board 71 wins the second battle or succeeds in pulling back in the pullback zone, the main control board 71 functions as a means of progress in order to advance the stage of the battle during normal ART to the next battle. Then, when the main control board 71 breaks through the fourth battle during the normal ART, it shifts from the normal ART to the special ART, and when the second person wins the battle, the additional lottery for the additional chance is performed. , If the pullback is successful in the pullback zone, the extra lottery for the extra chance will not be performed, so the first privilege can be given when the second player wins the battle, and the second privilege is given when the fourth battle breaks through. It functions as a possible granting means.

<Continued number ceiling>
Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a ceiling is provided at the number of times the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery of the second person battle or the battle during the special ART, and when the number of continuations reaches the number of ceilings, the continuation is rewritten as victory. Here, if the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, the effect of inciting the victory of the ally character is performed. Therefore, by providing a ceiling for the number of continuations, from the player's point of view, if the incitement of victory continues. Will increase the chances of actually winning, so it is possible to prevent the game from being less enjoyable.

In addition, the battle transition lottery is performed based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A), but the defeat is not decided at the time of the strong rare group winning or the bell group winning, and the victory or victory at the time of the strong rare group winning. The continuation is determined with a high probability, and the victory or continuation is determined with a low probability at the time of winning the bell group. On the other hand, there is a possibility that defeat will be decided at the time of losing group winning without a guaranteed game. For the player, if the strong rare group wins, they will not lose the battle, so they can play the game with peace of mind, and the victory and continuation (with the number of ceilings) will be decided. With that, we can expect to advance to the next race. On the other hand, if the lost group wins, the ART state may end, so the game is played in the hope that the ART state will continue, and the game can be played with a sense of tension. ..

In addition, in the battle transition lottery, defeat is not decided as long as the guaranteed number of games remains even at the time of the loss group winning, so the player can play with confidence while the guaranteed number of games remains. It can be performed. On the other hand, although there is a possibility that the ART state will end when the number of guaranteed games is exhausted, there is a possibility that victory or continuation will be decided in the battle transition lottery at the time of losing when there is no guaranteed number of games. , The player will be strongly interested in the result of the battle transition lottery, and the interest will be improved.

Further, in the battle during special ART, the battle transition lottery is performed according to the combination of battles, but in some combinations, the lottery coefficient of the battle transition lottery is shared. This is preferable because the amount of data on the main side, which has a strict capacity limit, can be reduced.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. Has a function.

The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80 to control the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a game control means. Further, the sub-control board 72 performs a predetermined effect according to the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub-control board 72 functions as an effect control means.

Further, the main control board 71 functions as a game information determining means for determining an enemy character (first game information) and a teammate team (second game information) in a battle during special ART.
Then, the main control board 71 refers to various information such as the internal winning combination, the combination pattern of the battle, and the number of guaranteed games, performs a battle transition lottery, and obtains the result of the battle (win, defeat, continuation, or non-winning). decide. Further, the main control board 71 counts the number of continuations, and when the number of continuations reaches the number of ceilings, the result of the battle transition lottery is rewritten as a victory, so that the main control board 71 functions as a determination means and a counting means.

In addition, the main control board 71 advances to the next battle at the stage of the second battle or the battle during the special ART when the victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, and when the defeat is decided, the second battle End the battle during the special ART and move to the pullback zone. In addition, if it is decided to continue or not win in the battle transition lottery, the second person battle at the current stage and the battle during special ART will be continued. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a game state control means.

In addition, the sub-control board 72 controls the production according to the result of the battle transition lottery, and when the victory is decided, the ally character (the ally team) performs the production to win, and when the defeat is decided. In, the ally character (friend team) will be defeated, and if it is decided to continue, the ally character (friend team) will be defeated or the ally character (friend team) will be defeated. Perform a production that does not connect. Therefore, the sub-control board 72 functions as a decision information effect control means.

<Pushing order navigation in CZ>
Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the bell wins during CZ, a battle transition lottery is performed. However, when the push order bell wins during CZ, a part of the correct push order for winning the bell is notified. And all notifications are used properly. For example, as in the above embodiment, when the CZ is terminated by lottery after the number of CZ games is exhausted, the main control circuit 91 partially notifies the correct push order until the number of CZ games is exhausted. , After the number of CZ games is exhausted, all the correct push orders are notified. Further, when the CZ is terminated after a fixed number of games has elapsed as in another example 2, a part of the correct push order is notified for a predetermined period after the start of the CZ, and the predetermined period before the end of the CZ is Notify all the correct push order. As a result, it is possible to control the game in the CZ without depending only on the player's selection while interposing the player's selection.

In the pachislot machine 1, when the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the bell, the main control circuit 91 performs the promotion lottery of the battle mode. For the player, at the time of winning the bell, not only can the stock in the ART state be given by the battle transition lottery, but also the degree of expectation of victory in the battle can be increased with the promotion of the battle mode.

Further, when applied to the breakthrough type CZ as in the above-mentioned alternative example 1, if the player can win the battle in the CZ according to his / her choice, he / she can expect to give a lot of stock, so he / she can make his / her choice. It will be a strong interest, and it will be possible to give a new playability to the player's selection, and the interest will be improved.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. Has a function.

The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80 to control the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a start operation detection means, a combination determination means, a stop operation detection means, and a stop control means.

Further, since the main control circuit 91 starts CZ when a predetermined condition is satisfied and ends CZ when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the main control circuit 91 functions as a specific game start means, an end determination means, and a specific game end means. Further, the main control circuit 91 functions as a granting determination means and a granting means in order to grant the stock in the ART state when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery during the CZ.

Further, the main control circuit 91 functions as a mode determination means because the battle mode promotion lottery is performed when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery triggered by the bell winning during the CZ. Further, in the case of the breakthrough type CZ as in the second example, the main control circuit 91 functions as a means of proceeding because the battle of the CZ is advanced to the next battle when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery.

Further, when the push order bell is won during CZ, the main control circuit 91 functions as a notification means because it notifies the player of a part or all of the correct push order.

[Modification example]
The pachi-slot machine 1 of the above embodiment has a pullback zone as one aspect of the ART state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pullback zone may not be in the ART state (advantageous section).

Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment, when one cycle of the game is performed during the normal state, the game shifts to a precursory state (various ghost precursors or various present precursors), and if it is a present precursor, it is a precursor. After the end, the game state is shifted to the corresponding game state. Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the game in the precursory state is included in the normal state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game in the precursory state may be an advantageous section. For example, it has an advantageous section A that continues for a period corresponding to the number of precursor games and an advantageous section B that continues beyond the period corresponding to the number of precursor games, and during the advantageous section A, one navigation is performed for the player. On the other hand, during the advantageous section B, the player is navigated once during the period corresponding to the number of precursor games (for example, the mode of the stop operation advantageous to the player is notified once). During the period exceeding the period, all navigation is performed (for example, all modes of the stop operation advantageous to the player are notified). As an example, when the period corresponding to the number of precursor games is 15 games and the period exceeding the period is 50 games, the main control circuit 91 shifts to the advantageous section A and is between 15 games. The navigation is performed once, and the advantageous section A ends when 15 games have passed. On the other hand, when the main control circuit 91 shifts to the advantageous section B, it performs one navigation during 15 games, and after 15 games, performs all navigation during the following 50 games. By doing so, the game in the advantageous section A can be realized in the advantageous section A, and the game from the present precursor to the ART state can be realized in the advantageous section B.

Further, the playability of each gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment can be applied to other gaming states. For example, the playability in the chance zone (CZ, PCZ) can be diverted to the addition in the ART state or the transition to the chance zone or the ART state in the normal state, and the playability in the ART state can be diverted. It can be diverted to the ART lottery in the chance zone or the transition to the chance zone or the ART state in the normal state.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the above embodiment, various benefits are given, but the benefits given to the player are arbitrary. For example, not only the benefits related to the payout given to the player (for example, the transition to the ART state, the addition of the duration of the ART state, the transition to the CZ, the addition of the duration of the CZ), but also the benefits other than the payout. (For example, release of privilege video, custom release of pachislot 1, custom release of premier production (lottery probability, stage, character, etc.), interlocking function with mobile terminal (right to obtain images and game information on mobile terminal) Etc.).

Further, the content of the notification performed during the ART state is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and is arbitrary. For example, the order of stop operations (pushing order) in which a special symbol combination that is advantageous to the player is displayed may be notified, or the timing of the stop operation required for displaying the symbol combination ( The symbol to be aimed at) may be notified.

As an advantageous state for the player, the winning probability of the internal winning combination related to the re-game does not change (or changes within a range that does not affect the game playability), but the mode of the stop operation that is advantageous for the player. It may be in a gaming state in which the notification function, that is, the AT function is activated. Further, as an advantageous state for the player, a re-game high probability state (replay time) in which the winning probability of the internal winning combination related to the re-game is high is activated, and a mode of the stop operation advantageous for the player is notified. It may be in a gaming state in which the function is activated, that is, the ART function is activated.

In addition, the method of managing the duration of the ART state is also arbitrary. For example, the duration may be managed by the number of games, the duration may be managed by the number of sets, and the duration may be managed by the number of medals paid out during the ART state or the difference number. It may be possible to manage the duration by the number of notifications (number of navigations) that affect the payout of medals during the ART state, and the continuation performed at any timing during the ART state. The duration may be managed by the determination, or the ART state may be terminated when a specific symbol combination is displayed during the ART state.
In this case, the target of addition is appropriately adjusted according to the management method of the duration of the ART state, such as the number of games, the number of sets, the number of navigations, and the number of differences.

In addition, management of the duration of CZ is also optional. The duration may be managed by the number of games, the duration may be managed by the number of sets, or the duration may be managed by the continuation judgment performed at an arbitrary timing in the CZ. Further, the CZ may be terminated when a specific symbol combination is displayed in the CZ, the duration may be managed by the number of ART lottery performed during the CZ, and the duration may be managed during the CZ. The duration may be managed according to the number of transitions to the ART state.
In this case, the target of addition is appropriately adjusted according to the management method of the duration of CZ such as the number of games, the number of sets, and the number of lottery.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the above embodiment, the notification (ART) function is operated under the control of the main (main control board 71) side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub (sub-control) is not limited to this. The notification (ART) function may be operated by the control on the board 72) side.

Further, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the CZ or ART state is shifted to the CZ or ART state by winning the transition lottery performed during the normal state. Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, it is possible to give a setting difference to the transition lottery, but the transition lottery may be performed based on "information having no difference in the set value". In addition, "information with no difference in set values" means a combination that is determined as an internal winning combination with the same probability in all the set values in the internal lottery process (setting unquestioned combination), and all settings when all reels are stopped. It includes at least a symbol combination (a symbol combination with no setting difference) that will be displayed with the same probability in the value.

That is, in the modified example of pachislot 1, when the setting unquestioned combination is determined as the internal winning combination, a lottery for transition to the CZ or ART state is performed, and the combination with the setting difference (setting difference combination) is determined as the internal winning combination. In that case, the lottery for transition to the CZ or ART state is not performed. Further, in pachislot 1, when a symbol combination having no setting difference is displayed when all reels are stopped, a lottery for transition to the CZ or ART state is performed, and when a symbol combination having a setting difference is displayed, CZ And transition to ART state Do not draw lots.
In addition, in this specification, not performing lottery includes not only not performing lottery itself, but also including lottery but always being non-winning.

Further, the lottery for transition to the CZ or ART state may be performed based on a predetermined probability of perfection that does not fluctuate at all. The "predetermined perfect probability that does not fluctuate at all" means at least a probability that does not fluctuate based on the set value (that is, the probability that the winning probability is the same regardless of the set value).
It should be noted that the "perfect probability that is predetermined and does not fluctuate at all" may be further included as the probability that is uniquely determined for "information that does not differ in the set value". In recent gaming machines, a state in which it is easy to win a transition lottery and a state in which it is difficult to win may be provided. In such a case, when the transition lottery is performed with the "probability uniquely determined for the information having no difference in the set value", for example, at the time of winning the setting unquestioned role, regardless of the gaming state. The transition lottery that wins with the same probability will be performed. On the contrary, when the transition lottery is performed with a "probability that is not a uniquely determined probability (that is, a probability that fluctuates) for information that does not have a difference in the set value", for example, when the setting unquestioned role is won, A transition lottery that wins with a probability according to the current gaming state, that is, if the current gaming state is a high probability state, a transition lottery that wins with a high probability is performed, and the current gaming state is a low probability state. In that case, a transition lottery, which wins with a low probability, will be performed.

In this way, the transition lottery performed based on "information with no difference in the set value" is performed with the same probability of winning regardless of the set value. The degree of expectation regarding the transition can be made the same for each set value, and the difference in ball ejection performance can be suppressed to the winning probability of the setting difference combination with the setting difference.

In addition, the lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state includes (1) an internal lottery for determining the internal winning combination, (2) a transition lottery for whether or not to perform the transition, and (3) a transition for the transition. Three lottery of advantageous section type lottery for determining destination can be considered. In pachislot 1, these three lottery may be performed by using individual random numbers, all the lottery may be performed by using a common random number value, and the two lottery may be common. The random number value of the above may be used, and the remaining one lottery may be performed using the individual random number values. In addition, using a common random number value means, for example, (1) when a predetermined set unquestioned combination is determined in the random number range of "0 to 128" in the internal lottery, (2) "0 to 64" is shifted. Non-winning random number range for lottery, "65-128" is the transition random number range for lottery, and (3) "65-83" is the random number range where the migration destination is CZ1, "83-99" is migrated. The destination is a random number range with CZ2, "99 to 115" is a random number range with a transfer destination of CZ3, and "115 to 128" is a random number range with a transfer destination in the ART state. In other words, the lottery results of other lottery are assigned to a part of the random number range that is won in one lottery.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and various modified examples, a pachi-slot machine has been described as an example of a gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Features other than the features peculiar to pachislot 1, such as the features related to reel control and the features related to setting change and confirmation of the present invention, can be applied to a gaming machine called "pachinko", and the same effect can be obtained. For example, checksum generation and determination processing, various processing using the main CPU93 dedicated instruction code (address specification processing using the Q register, soft timer update processing, 7-segment LED drive processing, communication data generation and storage processing, etc. ), Various processes using the non-standard ROM area and the non-standard RAM area, and the like can also be applied to the "pachinko".

Further, the set value may be set to only one step. At this time, the setting change process may be left behind or may be eliminated. When the setting change process is left, only the same setting can be retyped, so that the process is substantially for clearing the RAM. Even when the set value is set to only one step, a mode related to lottery (first hit and / or addition, etc.) of an advantageous state (ART state, etc.) is provided, and the number of times a predetermined winning combination is won with a predetermined probability is counted. However, by switching this mode when the number of times reaches a specified value, it is possible to cause undulations in the ball output.

In this case, the value obtained by multiplying the denominator of the predetermined probability by the specified value is one wave of balls. If it is specified that the value is switched by the number of games corresponding to one day, even if the set value is one step, it can be made comparable to the game machines provided in a plurality of stages. For example, if the business hours of a day are 11 hours, 11h = 39600 seconds, so if the shortest time required for one game is 4.1 seconds according to the rules, the maximum number of games per day is 39600/4. 1 = about 9695 times. Since it is not realistic to have no breaks (meals and toilets), the number of games per day is considered to be about 8000. By setting the predetermined probability to 1/32 and the specified value to 256, 32 × 256 = 8192, so that the wave of the ball output can be switched in about one day.

Furthermore, if the mode that is advantageous to the player and the mode that is disadvantageous to the player are switched alternately each time the number of times the predetermined combination is won reaches the specified value, the profit will be stable in a two-day cycle. It can contribute to the business of the store. Although the case where the set value is set to one step has been described, the setting value is not limited to one step and can be diverted. More specifically, if the number of set values is not changed, it is possible to make the wave of balls to be ejected more complicated without increasing the number of set values. Also, by reducing the number of set values, it is possible to compensate for the decrease in the set values and the monotony.

Moreover, if the number of set values can be reduced, the data capacity can be reduced accordingly. If the set value of 6 steps can be changed to the set value of 1 step, the data can be reduced to 1/6. In addition, the development cost for designing the desired ball output rate at each stage is also reduced to 1/6. Furthermore, since only game machines that meet the test are permitted to be used for business, the time required for the test can be shortened.

[Expandability of other game machines according to the present embodiment]
In the pachi-slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player's medal insertion operation (that is, the operation of inserting a hand-held medal into the medal insertion slot 20 or the credited medal is inserted into the MAX bet button 15a or the 1-bet button 15b. If the game is started and the medal is paid out at the end of the game, the hopper device 51 is driven to pay out the medal from the medal payout outlet 24, or credit. The form to be used has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the present invention is applied to all forms in which a game medium necessary for a game is input by a player, a game is performed based on the game, and a privilege is given (for example, a medal is paid out) based on the result of the game. be able to. That is, not only the form in which the game medium is input (hanged) and the game medium is paid out by the physical movement of the player, but also the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71) itself is the game medium owned by the player. May be electronically managed to enable the game without medals. Further, it may be a game medium management device that is mounted (connected) to the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71) and manages the game medium to electromagnetically manage the game medium owned by the player. ..

In this case, the game media management device is a device having a ROM and an RWM (or RAM) and provided in the game machine, and is bidirectionally communicated with an external game medium handling device (not shown) via a predetermined interface. It is connected so that it can be connected, and a prize is awarded for the operation of lending the game medium (that is, the operation of providing the game medium necessary for the player to perform the operation of inserting the game medium) or the role of paying out the game medium ( When the combination is established), the game medium payout operation (that is, the action of making the player acquire the game medium necessary for paying out the game medium), or the game medium to be used for the game. It suffices that the operation of recording electromagnetically can be performed. Further, the game media management device not only manages the actual number of game media, but also displays the number of game media held on the front of the pachislot machine 1, for example, based on the management result of the number of game media. A number display device (not shown) may be provided to manage the number of game media displayed on the possessed game medium number display device. That is, the game medium management device may be capable of recording and displaying the total number of game media that the player can use for the game by an electromagnetic method.

Further, in this case, the game medium management device has a performance that allows the player to freely transmit a signal indicating the number of recorded game media to an external game medium handling device, and the player. In addition to the case of direct operation, when the number of recorded game media cannot be reduced, and when an external connection terminal plate (not shown) is provided between the device and an external game medium handling device. It is desirable that the player has the ability to transmit a signal indicating the number of recorded game media only through the external connection terminal plate.

In addition to the above, the game machine is provided with a lending operation means, a return (payment) operation means, and an external connection terminal board that can be operated by the player, and the game medium handling device is provided with a slot for valuable value such as banknotes and a recording medium. (For example, IC card) insertion slot, non-contact communication antenna for depositing electronic money etc. from mobile terminals, other various operation means such as lending operation means, return operation means, external connection terminal board on the game medium handling device side It may be provided (neither is shown).

As a flow of the game at that time, for example, the player deposits valuable value to the game medium handling device by any method, and subtracts a predetermined number of valuable values based on the operation of any of the above lending operation means. Then, the number of game media corresponding to the valuable value subtracted from the game media handling device to the game media management device is increased. Then, the player plays a game, and if a game medium is required, the above operation is repeated. After that, a predetermined number of game media are acquired as a result of the game, and when the game is finished, the number of game media is transmitted from the game media management device to the game media handling device by operating one of the return operation means, and the game is played. The medium handling device discharges a recording medium on which the number of game media is recorded. The game medium management device clears the number of game media stored by itself when the number of game media is transmitted. The player takes the discharged recording medium to a prize counter or the like for exchanging prizes, or moves the game table to play a game based on the game medium recorded on another table.

In the above example, all the game media are transmitted to the game medium handling device, but only the number of game media desired by the player is transmitted on the game machine or the game medium handling device side, and the game medium possessed by the player is transmitted. It may be divided and processed. Further, not only the recording medium is discharged, but cash or a cash equivalent may be discharged, or the recording medium may be stored in a mobile terminal or the like. Further, the game medium handling device may be capable of inserting a member recording medium of the game hall and storing the member recording medium in the member recording medium so that the game can be replayed at a later date.

Further, in the game machine or the game medium handling device, a lock operation for locking the game medium or valuable value data communication can be executed on the game medium handling device or the game medium management device by operating a predetermined operating means (not shown). May be good. In that case, the player may be stored by setting information such as a one-time password that only the player can know, or by an imaging means provided in the game machine or the game medium handling device.

As described above, the game medium management device may be capable of playing games only without medals, or the game medium is inserted (hanged) by the physical movement of the player, and the game medium is played. It may be a form in which the game is paid out, a form in which the game is possible without a medal, or a form in which the game is possible in both forms. In this case, the game medium management device may adopt a method of directly controlling the selector 66 and the hopper device 51 described above, or these are controlled by the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71). Based on the transmission of the control result, a method is adopted that enables control in which the total number of game media that the player can use for the game is recorded by an electromagnetic method and displayed. You can also.

Further, in the above, the case where the game medium management device is applied to the pachi-slot machine 1 has been described. However, in the slot machine and the enclosed game machine using the game ball described above, the game medium management device is also provided and the player It is also possible to manage the game medium of.

In this way, by providing the game medium management device described above, it is possible to reduce the number of selectors 66, hopper devices 51, etc. inside the game machine as compared with the case where the game medium is physically used for the game. Not only can the cost and manufacturing costs of the game be reduced, but also the player can be prevented from coming into direct contact with the game medium, the game environment can be improved, noise can be reduced, and the number of devices can be reduced. It also reduces the power consumption of. In addition, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts through the game medium and the slot and payout port of the game medium. That is, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve various environments surrounding the gaming machine.

<Supplementary note (summary of the present invention)>
[1st to 4th gaming machines]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine that notifies a player of information that is advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing an internal winning combination, so that the role determined as the internal winning combination is not missed. ing. It should be noted that the notification of information that gives the player an advantage in this way is generally referred to as navigating (navigating), and the period during which the navigating is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and has an AT function. Game machines are called AT machines and ART machines.

As such a pachislot machine, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-104425 discloses a gaming machine that performs an effect using a display device such as a liquid crystal display. According to such a game machine, various effects can be performed according to the progress of the game by the effect performed by using the display device or the like, and the interest of the game can be improved.

However, in gaming machines such as pachislot machines, the effect is generally determined on the sub-control board, and the effect performed on the display device is the content determined on the main control board (only hit or miss). There was a problem that the effect was monotonous because the relationship between the decision regarding the progress of the game determined by the main control board and the effect was low.

The present invention has been made to solve the first problem, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of associating a decision regarding the progress of a game with an effect. ..

In order to solve the first problem, the present invention provides a first gaming machine having the following configuration.

A variable display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) capable of variablely displaying a plurality of identification displays (for example, symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R) and a winning combination determined from a plurality of combinations. A game control means (for example, a main control circuit 91) for controlling the progress of the game using the variable display means is provided according to the above, and when one cycle of the game having a predetermined period as one cycle is completed, the player is notified. A plurality of game machines to which a privilege (for example, ART state or chance zone) can be given, and the privilege includes a first privilege (for example, a chance zone) and a second privilege (for example, PCZ). Period information determining means (for example,) for determining one period information from a plurality of period information (for example, cycle rank) having a privilege and defining the type of the privilege to be given after the end of the one cycle game. The main control circuit 91), and the granting means (for example, the main control circuit 91) capable of granting the privilege according to the one cycle information determined by the cycle information determining means when the game of the one cycle is completed. An effect executing means (for example, a sub-control circuit 101, a liquid crystal display device 11) capable of executing a predetermined effect is provided, and the imparting means provides first period information (for example, period rank 4) as the one period information. If is determined, the first privilege (for example, PCZ) is given after the end of the one cycle game, and the second cycle information (for example, cycle rank 0) is given as the first cycle information. Is determined, the third cycle information (for example, cycle rank 7) is determined as the one cycle information without granting the privilege after the end of the one cycle game. Is given the second privilege (for example, ART state) after the end of the one cycle game, and the fourth cycle information (for example, cycle rank 3) is determined as the one cycle information. In this case, when the first cycle information or the second cycle information is determined as the one cycle information by the effect executing means without giving the privilege after the end of the one cycle game. Executes an effect suggesting the granting of the first privilege, and when the third cycle information or the fourth cycle information is determined as the one cycle information, the second privilege A game machine characterized by performing an effect that suggests the granting of.

In such a game machine, the game control means controls the progress of the game using the variable display means according to the winning combination determined from the plurality of combinations, and the specific combination among the plurality of combinations. When (for example, CB) counts the number of times determined as the winning combination (for example, the main control circuit 91) and the counting means counts a predetermined number of times, it is determined that the one cycle of the game is completed. A display counter (for example, sub-control) that displays the number of times the counting means counts in a mode corresponding to the cycle determining means (for example, the main control circuit 91) and the one cycle information determined by the cycle information determining means.
