Conditional device number 11 is a conditional device in which the small winning combination 18 is independently elected internally. In this condition device, a small winning combination 18 (bell) is won.

Each of the above-mentioned condition device numbers 8 to 10 defines an operation condition (here, a push order, hereinafter, a correct push order) for winning a bell (small winning combination 18, 19). In the following description, the condition device numbers 8 to 10 may be collectively referred to as a push order bell. In the case where these condition device numbers 8 to 10 are internally won, if the stop operation matches the pressing order of each correct answer, the bell (small winning combination 18, 19) is won. On the other hand, if the stop operation does not match the pressing order of the correct answer, the one-card winning combination (small winning combination 6 to 17) other than the bell (small winning combination 18 and 19) is preferentially stopped. In the above configuration, if the stop operation does not match the correct push order, it may be out of order, but if the stop operation does not match the correct push order, for example, the above-mentioned one-card combination always wins a prize. It may be configured to always win a prize in some role.

<Type of game state>
Next, the types of gaming states of the slot machine 100 and their transitions will be described. FIG. 9 is a transition diagram of the gaming state of the slot machine 100.

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

FIG. 9 shows the four gaming states described above, and these transition conditions are described on the arrows. When the transition condition corresponding to each arrow is satisfied, the gaming state transitions in the direction of the arrow.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lottery table of internal winners in the case of the set value 1 and the set value 6. In this figure, the vertical axis shows the condition device number of the internal winning combination (conditional device), and the horizontal axis shows the set value, and the set value and the lottery value corresponding to the internal winning combination (range of lottery data). Size) is shown. It should be noted that these lottery values are common to the four gaming states described above. If the condition device is not internally won in the game, it will be lost and the symbol combination corresponding to the combination will not be displayed. In addition, the fact that the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped on the winning line may be referred to as "missing". In addition, the fact that the role was not won may be expressed as "winning the loss".

In the game state described below, the internal winning probability of the winning combination is a random number value acquired at the time of the internal lottery by using the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 to obtain numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each winning combination. It is obtained by the value divided by the numerical data in the range of (for example, 65536). For example, with the set value 1, the lottery value of the common bell (small winning combination 18) of the condition device number 11 is 1200, and the winning probability is 1200/65536≈1.83%.

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

The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each numerical range is associated with each combination or loss. It is determined which combination the random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery corresponds to the lottery data, and the internal lottery combination (internal winning combination) is determined. It should be noted that the staff of the game store can arbitrarily select and set any of the set values by using the set value switch (not shown).

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

<Normal state>
The normal state is the most unfavorable gaming state for the player. In the normal state, if the state B described later is set, pt can be acquired as the game progresses, and the cumulative acquired pt increases (step S1247 in FIG. 16). In this embodiment, when the value of the number of high-probability remaining games to be described later is larger than 0, the cumulative acquired pt is likely to increase. In addition, the number of pt high-probability sets is provided, and if this value is larger than 0, the number of pt high-probability remaining games is added again even if the number of pt high-probability remaining games becomes 0, and the cumulative acquired pt increases. We have adopted a configuration that keeps it easy to do. In the following description, a state in which the pt high probability flag is on (a state in which the cumulative acquisition pt is likely to increase) may be referred to as a high probability mode, and a state in which the pt high probability flag is off may be referred to as a normal mode. When the cumulative acquisition pt becomes 1000 pt or more, the chance zone transition lottery and the AT direct hit lottery are executed in exchange for 1000 pt (step S1211 in FIG. 15). FIG. 9 shows that if the chance zone transition lottery is won in the normal state, the transition to the chance zone is shown (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B05 in FIG. 24). Further, it is shown that if the AT direct hit lottery is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (E) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B01 in FIG. 24). Further, it is shown that when the number of chance zone transition games set in the normal state elapses, the game shifts to the chance zone (arrow (A) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1B09 in FIG. 24). As the number of chance zone transition games, the value set when the transition lottery in the state B, which will be described later, is won in the normal state (step S1013 in FIG. 12) is used.

<Chance Zone (CZ)>
The chance zone is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to make a profit than in the normal state and is more advantageous than the normal state. In this chance zone, when the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) is internally won, the notification of the correct stop operation order corresponding to each (hereinafter, may be referred to as operation navigation) is displayed (Fig.). 22 step S1505, FIG. 31 step S3005). It should be noted that this operation navigation is not limited to the one indicating the pressing order, and may indicate the timing of the stop operation, for example, a display such as "Aim for ...!", And the pressing order and timing. It may indicate both of them. In the following description, the operation navigation for the push order bell may be referred to as a bell navigation. In addition, unlike this embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which the correct push order is displayed in 50% of the winners of the push order bell condition device during CZ. In this case, it becomes difficult to obtain profit (becomes disadvantageous) compared to the AT state, while it is possible to make the state more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

When the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, if the number of remaining CZ games is not 0, the game state shifts to the AT state by internally winning the corresponding condition device (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 25 or in step S1C03). Yes). In addition, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 while winning the AT lottery, the gaming state shifts to the AT state regardless of the result of the internal winning (even if the corresponding conditional device is not internally won). (Yes in step S1C09 in FIG. 25). On the other hand, when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0 without winning the AT lottery, the gaming state shifts to the normal state (No in step S1C09 in FIG. 25). In FIG. 9, if the AT lottery is won in the chance zone, the AT state is entered (arrow (C) in FIG. 9, FIG. 9), and if not won, the normal state is entered (arrow (B) in FIG. 9). It is shown that.

<AT state>
The AT state is advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the special zone. In this AT state, as in the chance zone, when the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) is internally won, the operation navigation corresponding to each is displayed, which is an advantageous state in which the player can easily make a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 22 and step S3005 in FIG. 31). This AT state is managed by the number of AT remaining games, but the number of AT remaining games may be added by lottery (steps S1403 and S1405 in FIG. 20A). Further, in the present embodiment, the number of remaining AT games may be added by clearing the conditional addition (set in step S1409 in FIG. 20 (a)) described later (step S1D03 in FIG. 24 (a)). ..

Further, in the state where the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20A) is won in the AT state and the blue 7 right is acquired, the game state becomes the special zone by internally winning the corresponding condition device. Transition (step S1D11 in FIG. 26 (a)). In FIG. 9, when the special zone transition lottery is won in the AT state and the condition devices 2 to 4 are internally won, the special zone is transferred (arrow (F) in FIG. 9), and the AT end condition (for example, , When the number of AT remaining games is 0), the state shifts to the normal state (arrow (D) in FIG. 9, Yes in step S1D13 in FIG. 26 (a)).

<Specialized zone>
The special zone is a state that is advantageous to the player along with the chance zone and the AT state. In this specialized zone, as with the chance zone and AT state, when the push order bell (conditional device numbers 8 to 10) is internally won, the operation navigation corresponding to each is displayed, which is advantageous for the player to easily make a profit. (Step S1505 in FIG. 22 and step S3005 in FIG. 31). In this special zone, the number of remaining AT games is not subtracted. In addition, the number of remaining AT games may be added (step S1423 and step S1425 in FIG. 20B).

In FIG. 9, when the special zone end condition (for example, the specified number of games (20 games in the present embodiment) has elapsed) is satisfied in the special zone, the state shifts to the AT state (arrow (G) in FIG. 9, FIG. 26). (B) Step S1D25) is shown. If the number of remaining AT games is 0 at the end of the special zone, the AT state also ends and the normal state is entered (step S1D27 in FIG. 26B).

<State A and State B>
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, in addition to the four gaming states described above, the current state is managed separately for the state A and the state B. The state A is the state at the start of the normal state, and is also the state at the time of changing the setting or after clearing the RAM. If the transition lottery of the state B is won in this state A, the state B is set (step S1003 in FIG. 12). The condition for transitioning to the state B is that the transition is made when an internal winning role is won in the state A. In the present embodiment, since the player internally wins some role with a probability of about 80%, it is configured to shift to the state B with a high probability. When this state B is set, initial settings such as setting the number of CZ transition games for transitioning to the chance zone are executed (Yes in step S1005 in FIG. 12), and pt can be acquired (yes). No) in step S1001 of FIG. That is, while the state A is set in the normal state, it is not possible to shift to the gaming state other than the normal state, and when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to the gaming state other than the normal state. When the normal state is restored again, the state A is set (step S1C11 in FIG. 25, step S1D15 in FIG. 26 (a), step S1D27 in FIG. 26 (b), step S1E21 in FIG. 27). In the state B, the notification of the stop operation order (operation navigation) for the internally won combination may be executed, and this operation navigation is not displayed in the state A.

As described above, when the state B is set, it is possible to shift to a state advantageous to the player, but if the state B continues for a long period of time, excessive profits can be obtained, or even for a short period of time, many cases can be obtained. There is a risk of inciting gambling by earning profits. In this embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation, the following two conditions are separately provided as the end conditions of the state B. The first is the case where the state B continues for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games), which is managed by using the number of games that can be continued in the state B (step S1E09 in FIG. 27). If No is determined in, Yes is set in step S1E03 of the next game, and the state A is entered). The second is the case where a predetermined net increase number (for example, 2400) of medals is obtained from the time when the net increase number is the lowest, and this is managed by using the MY counter (FIG. 28 (a)). If Yes is determined in step S1F21 of the above, Yes is determined in step S1E03 immediately after that, and the state A is entered).

In this embodiment, the state A and the state B are distinguished by using the state B flag. If the state B flag is off, the state A is shown, and if the state B flag is on, the state B is shown.

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

<Main control unit main processing>
First, with reference to FIG. 11, the main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main processing of the main control unit.

As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with a start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which the start signal is input reset-starts by reset interruption and executes the main control unit main process shown in FIG. 11 according to the control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S119, the game state update process is performed. Here, the start preparation and end processing of the state B and the update of the status related to the state B are performed based on the result of the game. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 23.

With the above, one game is completed. After that, the game progresses by returning to step S103 and repeating the above-mentioned process.

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the details of the game start state processing (step S109) in the main control unit main processing of FIG. 11 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the game start state process (step S109) in FIG.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1011, the mode is set with reference to the table of FIG. 13 (a). In this embodiment, three types of CZ transition modes, mode A, mode B, and mode C, are provided, and the number of CZ transition games is set based on these modes. Here, for example, if the set value is 1, the probability that mode A is selected is 70%, the probability that mode B is set is 20%, and the probability that mode C is selected is 10%. .. The lottery probability of the mode may be different for each setting, such that the higher the setting, the higher the transition rate to the mode C is set. Further, the mode that is most easily set may be different for each setting.

In step S1013, the value of the number of CZ transition games is set with reference to the table of FIG. 13 (b). For example, when the mode A is set as the CZ transition mode, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 201 to 300 is 10%. Further, for example, when the mode B is set, the probability that the number of CZ transition games is selected in the range of 101 to 200 is 20%. As for the number of CZ transition games, any value in these numerical ranges is selected by further lottery, but the lottery probability at this time may be equal within the numerical range or within the numerical range. A bias may be provided so that a specific range or a specific value is easily (or difficult to be selected) selected. In the present embodiment, after the state B is set in the normal state, the game does not shift to the CZ, and when the number of CZ transition games set here elapses, the game shifts to the CZ.

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

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

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

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

In step S1041, preparations are made for transmitting the internal winning command to the first sub-control unit 400, and the game start state processing is terminated. In addition, this internal winning command includes the condition device number of the internal winning, the game state, the number of remaining games in each state (the number of CZ remaining games, the number of AT remaining games and additional games, the number of specialized zone remaining games), and the acquired pt. And cumulative acquisition pt, number of pt high probability remaining games, number of pt high probability sets, presence / absence and result of execution of CZ lottery and AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 15), state B flag, pt high probability flag, state B progress game. Information such as the number, the number of CZ transition games, the state of the conditional addition flag, the condition for clearing the conditional addition, the existence of various rights (BAR right, peach 7 right, blue 7 right), instruction information, and the like are included.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the details of the game start state B-related process (step S1031) in the game start state process of FIG. 12 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the game start state B-related process (step S1031) in FIG.

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1111, AT-related processing is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1121. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 20 (a).

In step S1113, special zone-related processing is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1121. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 20 (b).

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

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the details of the normal-related processing (step S1103) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the normal related process (step S1103) in FIG.

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

In step S1203, the pt high probability set number lottery is executed. In the pt high probability set number lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 17 (c) are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, the conditional device number 5), the pt high probability set number lottery is won with a probability of 20%. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1205.

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

In step S1207, the value of the pt high probability set number is added. In determining the value to be added here, the current set value and the table of FIG. 17 (d) are used. For example, when the set value is 1, 1 is added with a probability of 75%, and 2 is added with a probability of 25%. Then, the process proceeds to step S1209.

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

In step S1211, a lottery (CZ lottery, AT lottery) for setting the CZ and AT states is executed. In these lottery, the table of FIG. 18A is used. For example, when 1 to 4 are set in the set value, the CZ lottery is won with a probability of 20%, and the AT lottery is won with a probability of 5%.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S1237, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to on, and this normal related processing ends.

Next, the details of the pt acquisition-related process (step S1221) in the normal-related process of FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the pt acquisition-related process (step S1221) in FIG.

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

In step S1243, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the lottery type (see the column of the lottery type in FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table in FIG. 17B are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, the conditional device number 1), 10 pt is acquired with an 80% probability and 20 pt is acquired with a 20% probability. It should be noted that these probabilities and values are examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

In step S1245, the pt lottery (normal mode) is executed. In the pt lottery here, the lottery type (see the column of the lottery type in FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table in FIG. 17A are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type A (for example, the conditional device number 1), 5 pt is acquired with a probability of 15% and 10 pt is acquired with a probability of 5%. It should be noted that these probabilities and values are examples, and arbitrary values can be adopted. After this lottery, the process proceeds to step S1247.

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

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

In step S1253, the value of the number of remaining pt high-probability games is subtracted by 1, and the pt acquisition-related process ends.

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

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

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

Next, the details of the CZ-related processing (step S1107) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the CZ-related process (step S1107) in FIG.

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

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

In step S1305, a lottery (AT lottery) for whether or not to set the AT state is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 18B are used. For example, in the conditional device corresponding to the lottery type B (for example, the conditional device number 5), the AT lottery is won with a probability of 20%. If the lottery is won here, a lottery (sorting lottery) for acquiring either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is subsequently executed. The table shown in FIG. 18 (c) is used for this lottery. For example, when the set value is set to 1 to 5, the BAR right is acquired with an 80% probability, and the peach 7 right is acquired with a 20% probability. If the AT lottery is won in the process here, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery has one stage, but for example, if the lottery is won a plurality of times (for example, three times), the AT state may be entered. Further, in this configuration, when the peach 7 right is acquired, it may be confirmed that the state shifts to the AT state even if the peach 7 right is not won a plurality of times. Further, the BAR right acquisition lottery may be performed, and the winning of the replaying combination 10 in the state where the BAR right is acquired may be counted as one of a plurality of winnings.

Next, the details of the AT-related processing (step S1111) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG. 20A. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of AT-related processing (step S1111) in FIG.

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

In step S1403, an additional lottery for the number of remaining AT games is executed. In this lottery, the lottery type (see the lottery type column of FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and the table of FIG. 21A are used. For example, when the condition device corresponding to the lottery type D (for example, the condition device number 7) is internally won, the number of remaining AT games is added with a probability of 40%, and the breakdown is 10 with a probability of 90%. There is a 10% chance that it will be 20. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery for adding the number of remaining AT games is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional device.

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

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

In step S1409, a conditional addition lottery is executed. Here, an additional lottery for the number of remaining AT games obtained at the time of clearing the conditional addition (details will be described later) is executed. In this lottery, the table of FIG. 21B is used, 10 games are selected as the number of additional games with a 20% probability, 20 games are selected as the number of additional games with a 5% probability, and a 5% probability. 30 games are selected as the number of additional games, and 100 games are selected as the number of additional games with a probability of 0.1%. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the conditional addition lottery is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional device. If the conditional addition lottery is won, the conditional addition flag is set to on, and the lottery for the condition for clearing the conditional addition is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S1411.

In step S1411, a lottery (special zone right lottery) for whether or not to acquire the right to shift to the special zone is executed. The right to be acquired when winning this lottery is called the Blue 7 right. The table of FIG. 21 (c) is used for this lottery. For example, if the set value is set to 1 to 5, there is a 0.05% chance that the blue 7 right will be acquired. Note that this probability and value are examples, and any value can be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the special zone right lottery is executed for all the conditional devices, but this lottery may not be executed depending on the conditional device. After this lottery, this AT-related process ends.

Next, the details of the specialization-related processing (step S1113) in the game start state B-related processing of FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG. 20 (b). FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the specialization-related process (step S1113) in FIG.

First, in the first step S1421, the value of the number of games remaining in the special zone is subtracted by 1, and the process proceeds to step S1423.

In step S1423, an additional lottery for the number of remaining AT games is executed. In this lottery, the internal winning combination and the table shown in FIG. 21D are used. For example, if the condition device number 2 is internally won, there is a 100% probability that 10 games will be added to the number of AT remaining games, and if the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won, the probability is 100%. 30 games will be added to the number of AT remaining games. The values of the condition device, the probability, and the number of additional games are examples, and any value can be adopted.

In step S1425, the number of remaining AT games is added based on the lottery result of step S1423, and this specialization-related process ends.

<Main control unit 300 timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 29. The figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the timer interrupt process of the main control unit.

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

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

In step S203, the WDT314 is periodically (this) so that the count value of the WDT314 does not exceed the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) and WDT interruption does not occur (so as not to detect an abnormality in processing). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the cycle of interrupting the timer of the main control unit.

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

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

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

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

In the first sub control unit 400, the command type included in the received output schedule information enables the determination of the effect control according to the change in the game control in the main control unit 300, and is included in the output schedule information. It becomes possible to determine the effect control content based on the information of the command data.

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

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

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

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

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

<Processing of the first sub-control unit 400>

Note that FIG. 30A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 30B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 30C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400.

First, in step S301, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, the initialization process is first executed in step S301. In this initialization process, the initial setting of the input / output port, the initialization process of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this process, the RAM 408 is provided with an area for storing the internal winning information, which is information representing the result of the internal winning, and an area for storing RT update information, which is information representing the gaming state. Further, the value of the display pt is set to 0 regardless of the value of the cumulative acquisition pt in the main control unit 300. At this time, there may be a discrepancy between the value of the cumulative acquisition pt and the value of the display pt. This deviation is eliminated when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 or when the state B ends (both the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are initialized and the state B is newly entered. become). In addition, instead of displaying the value of pt for display in the period when this deviation occurs? ?? ?? It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the value of the display pt is not displayed or the display is performed in which the value is unknown.

When the setting is changed or the RAM 308 is cleared (when there is no return data in the main control unit 300), the normal default background (hereinafter referred to as the normal background) is set as the background, and the morning flag is set to on. To. If there is return data, the display is set according to the state before the power failure. For example, in the normal state (regardless of the state A, the state B, the normal mode, and the high probability mode), the normal background is set. For the CZ, AT state, and special zone, the number of remaining games and the background corresponding to each are set to return to the state before the power failure. If the state before the power failure is the normal state, the morning flag is set to on. After the power is turned on, the demo screen may be displayed regardless of whether or not the setting has been changed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In step S317, information output processing is performed in which a control command is set to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result of step S309. For example, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S309, the setting to output this control command is set, and the process returns to step S303.

Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 30 (b). This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output by the main control unit 300. In step S321 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

Next, the timer interrupt processing of the first sub-control unit executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 30 (c). The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt in a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined with this timer interrupt as an opportunity. Execute in the cycle of.

In step S331, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 30A, and the data is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

In step S333, device data is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S315, and the effect random number value is updated.

In step S3015, in addition to the process described above, a process at the time of receiving the internal winning command is executed, and this process ends.

Next, with reference to FIG. 32, the details of the effect setting process (step S3013) for each state in the internal winning command process of FIG. 31 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the effect setting process (step S3013) for each state in FIG. 31.

First, in step S3101 executed first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is CZ. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3103, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3105.

In step S3103, the effect setting process during CZ is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is terminated. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 34.

In step S3105, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the AT state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3107, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3109.

In step S3107, the effect setting process during AT is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is terminated. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 35 (a).

In step S3109, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a special zone. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3111, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3113.

In step S3111, the specializing effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is terminated. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 35 (b).

In step S3113, it is determined whether or not the morning flag is set to on. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3115, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3117.

In step S3115, the morning one effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is terminated. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 33 (a).

In step S3117, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the normal state. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3119, and if not, the effect setting process for each state is terminated.

In step S3119, the normal effect setting process is executed, and the effect setting process for each state is terminated. Details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG. 33 (b).

Next, the details of the morning one effect setting process (step S3115) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. 33 (a). The figure is a flowchart of the morning one effect setting process (step S3115) in FIG. 32.

First, in step S3201 executed first, it is determined whether or not the value of the display pt is smaller than 995. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3203, and if not, the morning production setting process is terminated.

In step S3203, a false pt addition effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the same table as in FIG. 17A is stored in the ROM 406 of the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery type (see the lottery type column in FIG. 8) associated with the internal winning combination and this. The pt lottery is executed using the table. This lottery process is the same as the pt lottery (step S1245 in FIG. 16) in the main control unit 300, but the pt derived here is used only for the effect. If there is a pt derived in this lottery, this pt is added to the value of the display pt, and the value of this display pt is displayed. This makes it appear that the normal mode is set regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value. The table used for the pt lottery here may be any table as long as it can be made to appear as if the normal mode is set. For example, the lottery probability may be slightly different and may not necessarily be the same as the pt lottery table in the main control unit 300. If the value exceeds 995 when the display pt is added, the value of the display pt is set to 995 (the maximum value of the display pt is set to 995). In addition, for example, when the display pt exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 500), the frequency of addition of the display pt is decreased, or the added pt is decreased, so that the display pt increases. A configuration that makes it difficult may be adopted. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the display pt is not added when the display pt exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 950).

Next, with reference to FIG. 33 (b), the details of the normal middle effect setting process (step S3119) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the normal middle effect setting process (step S3119) in FIG. 32.

In step S3215, it is determined whether or not the pt (acquired by the lottery in step S1243 or step S1245 of FIG. 16) has been acquired. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3217, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3219.

In step S3217, the pt addition effect is executed. Specifically, an effect is set in which the acquired pt is added to the current display pt value, and the acquired pt and the display pt value are displayed to indicate that the acquired pt is added. Then, the process proceeds to step S3219.

In step S3219, it is determined whether or not the CZ lottery and the AT lottery (step S1211 in FIG. 15) have been executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3221, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3223.

In step S3221, a lottery effect (an effect that is expected to shift to the CZ or AT state) is set, and the process proceeds to step S3223. At the time of setting this effect, the value of the current cumulative acquisition pt is set in the value of the display pt.

In step S3223, it is determined whether or not the value of the number of games elapsed in the state B is equal to or greater than the value of the number of CZ transition games. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3225, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3227.

In step S3225, a CZ rush effect (an effect indicating the transition to the chance zone) is set, and the process proceeds to step S3227. In setting this effect, the already set effect is overwritten (discarded).

In step S3227, effects other than those described above (for example, setting of a background image according to a high probability mode or a normal mode) are appropriately set, and this normal middle effect setting process ends.

Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the details of the CZ middle effect setting process (step S3103) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described. The figure is a flowchart of the CZ middle effect setting process (step S3103) in FIG. 32.

First, in step S3301 to be executed first, an effect of displaying the current number of remaining CZ games is set. If there is the number of CZ remaining games displayed earlier, the subtraction from that value to the current number of CZ remaining games is displayed.

In step S3303, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery (step S1305 in FIG. 19) has been won (the BAR right or the peach 7 right has been acquired). If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3305, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3313.

In step S3305, it is determined whether or not the condition device corresponding to the right acquired by the AT lottery has been internally won. Specifically, when the BAR right is acquired, it is determined whether or not the condition device number 2 is internally won, and when the peach 7 right is acquired, whether or not the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won. It is judged. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3307, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3311.

In step S3307, an aiming effect (an effect that encourages a specific role to be aimed) is set. Specifically, if the BAR right is acquired, the operation order of the right first stop is set, and the effect of urging to aim at the BAR symbol is set, and if the peach 7 right is acquired, the right first stop is set. An effect of appropriately aiming at the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol is set in the operation order of one stop. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3309. It should be noted that this aiming effect will be described later with reference to FIGS. 52 to 55.

In step S3309, an AT winning effect (an effect indicating that the AT lottery has been won) is set. The AT winning effect set here is executed at the timing after all reels have stopped.

In step S3311, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining CZ games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3309, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3317.

In step S3313, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining CZ games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3315, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3317.

In step S3315, a CZ end effect (an effect indicating that the CZ has ended) is set. The CZ end effect set here is executed at the timing after all reels have stopped.

In step S3317, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the effect setting process during CZ is terminated. In this process, when the condition device number 1 is internally elected, an effect of prompting to aim at the BAR symbol may be set in the operation order of the right first stop.

Next, the details of the AT-during effect setting process (step S3107) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. 35 (a). The figure is a flowchart of the effect setting process during AT (step S3107) in FIG. 32.

First, in step S3401, which is executed first, an effect of displaying the current number of remaining AT games is set. If there is an AT remaining game number displayed earlier, the subtraction from that value to the current AT remaining game number is displayed.

In step S3403, it is determined whether or not the AT addition lottery (step S1403 in FIG. 20A) has been won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3405, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3407.

In step S3405, an additional effect is set according to the number of games acquired by the AT additional lottery, and the process proceeds to step S3407.

In step S3407, it is determined whether or not the special zone transition condition is satisfied. This special zone transition condition is established by winning the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20A) and then internally winning the condition device numbers 2, 3 and 4. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3409, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3413.

In step S3409, an aiming effect (an effect that encourages a specific role to be aimed) is set. Specifically, an effect of urging the player to aim at the blue 7 symbol is set in the operation order of the right first stop. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3411.

In step S3411, a special zone entry effect (an effect indicating that the zone has moved to the special zone) is set. The special zone entry effect set here is executed at the timing after all reels have stopped. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3417.

In step S3413, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining AT games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3415, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3417.

In step S3415, the AT state end effect (effect indicating that the AT state has ended) is set. The AT state end effect set here is executed at the timing after all reels have stopped.

In step S3417, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the effect setting process during AT is terminated. In this process, when the condition device number 1 is internally won, an effect of urging the player to aim at the blue 7 symbol is set in the operation order of the right first stop. Further, in the game immediately after the conditional addition flag is turned on, the conditional addition effect may be set. In displaying the value of the number of remaining AT games, the first sub-control unit 400 separately manages the value for display, and uses this value to display a value smaller than the actual value of the number of remaining AT games. It may be configured to display the actual value from.

Next, the details of the specializing effect setting process (step S3111) in the effect setting process for each state of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to FIG. 35 (b). The figure is a flowchart of the specializing effect setting process (step S3111) in FIG. 32.

First, in step S3421 to be executed first, an effect of displaying the current number of specialized remaining games is set. If there is a number of specialized remaining games displayed earlier, the subtraction from that value to the current number of specialized remaining games is displayed.

In step S3423, it is determined whether or not any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 is internally won. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3425, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3427.

In step S3425, an aiming effect (an effect that encourages a specific role to be aimed) is set. Specifically, when the condition device numbers 1 and 2 are internally elected, the operation order of the right first stop and the effect of urging the BAR symbol to be aimed at are set, and the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internal. If the player is elected, the operation order of the right first stop and the effect of urging the player to aim at the Seven 2 symbol are set. In addition, instead of the BAR symbol or the Seven 2 symbol, an effect aiming at the Seven 1 symbol may be executed. After this process, the process proceeds to step S3427.

In step S3427, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining specialized games is 0. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3429, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3431.

In step S3429, a special zone end effect (an effect indicating that the special zone has ended) is set. The special zone end effect set here is executed at the timing after all reels are stopped.

In step S3431, effects other than those described above are appropriately set, and the specializing effect setting process is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 36, the details of the game state update command process (step S343) when the game state update command is received in the command process of FIG. 30 (d) will be described. FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the game state update command process (step S343) when the game state update command is received in FIG. 30 (d).

First, in step S3A01 to be executed first, the game information included in the game state update command is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S3A03. The information acquired here includes information such as the condition device number of the internal winning, the judgment result of the winning combination, the game state, the state B flag, the pt high probability flag, the 1000pt arrival flag, the number of additional games by clearing the conditional addition, and the like. be.

In step S3A03, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the AT state by referring to the information acquired in step S3A01. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A05, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A11.

In step S3A05, the information acquired in step S3A01 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the conditional addition flag is set to ON. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A07, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

In step S3A07, a process of updating the conditional addition effect is executed. Here, when the set condition is satisfied, the display of the part corresponding to the condition is updated. Then, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

In step S3A11, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the special zone by referring to the information acquired in step S3A01. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A13, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

In step S3A13, it is determined whether or not the aiming effect (step S3425 in FIG. 35B) has been executed. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A15, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A21.

In step S3A15, it is determined whether or not the player has won any of the replay combinations 6, 10, 15, and 16. If this condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S3A17, and if not, the process proceeds to step S3A19.

In step S3A17, a success effect indicating that the symbol indicated by the aim effect has been successfully stopped is set, and an additional effect of the number of remaining AT games is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S3A21. As for the addition of the number of remaining AT games, a value smaller than the actual value may be displayed. In this case, the number of AT remaining games displayed is smaller than the actual value, but the actual number of AT remaining games is displayed when the AT state is returned (step S3401 in FIG. 35A). At that point, the actual number of additional games can be grasped.

In step S3A19, a failure effect indicating that the stop of the symbol indicated by the aim effect has failed is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S3A21. Since this failure effect is executed even if the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 20B), the number of remaining AT games displayed may be smaller than the actual value. .. In this case, since the actual number of remaining AT games is displayed when the AT state is returned (step S3401 in FIG. 35A), the actual number of additional games can be grasped at that time.

In step S3A21, in addition to the process described above, a process at the time of receiving the game state update command (for example, a process of setting an effect according to each game state) is executed, and this game state update command process is terminated. .. The process here includes a process of initializing the display pt to 0 when the state B is changed to the state A.

<Processing of the second sub control unit 500>
Next, the process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 37. Note that FIG. 37A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 37B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 37C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 37D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

First, in step S401 of FIG. 37 (a), various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, the initialization process is first executed in step S401. In this initialization process, input / output port initial setting, initialization process of a storage area in RAM 508, and the like are performed.

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

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

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

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

In step S411, image control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S409. For example, if there is an image control command in the effect data read out in step S409, the image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control regarding a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 37 (d). When this image control process is completed, the process returns to step S403.

Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 37 (b). This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub-control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output by the first sub-control unit 400. In step S415 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

Next, the second sub-control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 37 (c). The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is predetermined with this timer interrupt as an opportunity. Execute in the cycle of.

In step S417, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S403 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 37A, and the data is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

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

Next, the image control process of step S411 in the main process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 37 (d). The figure is a diagram showing a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Operation in normal state (1)]
First, in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the flow when shifting from the CZ to the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. FIG. 38 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the CZ is changed to the normal state. FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 38. The operation when the power is turned on will be described later with reference to FIGS. 42 to 47.

In the example of FIG. 38, the first game is the last game of CZ (the number of remaining games of CZ is 0), and the AT lottery is not won. In this game, as shown in FIG. 39 (a), an effect (CZ end effect) indicating that the AT lottery was not won in the final game of CZ is executed (FIG. 34). In this first game, the state B end flag is set to on (step S1C11 in FIG. 25), and the parameters of the state B are initialized and the state A is set at the end of the game (step S119 in FIG. 11). Step S1A23 in FIG. 23, step S1E21 in FIG. 27). Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, the value of the display pt is initialized to 0 by shifting from the state B to the state A (step S3A21 in FIG. 36). FIG. 38 shows that the transition from the state B to the state A by the above processing, the cumulative acquisition pt, the number of pt high-probability remaining games, and the display pt are initialized to 0.

The second game is in the normal state and the state A, and as shown in FIG. 39 (b), the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 0) are displayed (FIG. 33 (b)). In the state A (state B flag off), the state B transition lottery (step S1003 in FIG. 12) is executed, but since no internal winning is done in this second game, win this lottery. The game ends without.

In the following third game, the state B transition lottery is won by internally winning the condition device number 8, and the state B flag is set to ON by this winning, and the preparation process for the state B is executed (FIG. 12). Step S1005 to step S1019). In FIG. 38, it is shown that the transition from the state A to the state B is performed in the third game, and that the pt high probability remaining game number is set to 10. At the end of the third game, the pt high probability flag is set to ON (step S1B15 in FIG. 24), and the high probability mode is set from the next game. The effect executed in the third game is the same as in the second game (FIG. 39 (b)).

The fourth game is a normal state (high probability mode) and a state B. In this state, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the number of pt high probability remaining games is subtracted by 1 (here, 9) (steps S1243 and S1253 in FIG. 16). In the pt lottery (high probability mode) here, since no internal winning is made for any of the winning combinations, 10 is derived as the acquired pt. By adding this acquired pt, the value of the cumulative acquired pt becomes 10 (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and further, the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 10 by the information of the acquired pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16). Step S3217 in FIG. 33 (b). In FIG. 39 (c), in the production corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed by being circled (here, +10), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquired pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (here, 10 is displayed), and the number of pt high-probability remaining games is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 9 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

In the fifth game, the normal state (high probability mode) and the state B continue, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the number of pt high probability remaining games is subtracted by 1 (8 in this case). (Step S1243, step S1253 in FIG. 16). In the fifth game, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. By adding this acquired pt, the value of the cumulative acquired pt becomes 110 (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and further, the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 110 by the information of the acquired pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16). Step S3217 in FIG. 33 (b).

The normal state (high probability mode) and state B continue after the 6th game, and when the 13th game is started, the value of the number of remaining games with high probability of pt is subtracted to 0, and the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is 260. , It is assumed that the value of the display pt becomes 260. In FIG. 39 (d), in the production corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed by being circled (here, +10), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquired pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (here, 260 is displayed), and the number of pt high-probability remaining games is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 0 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

At the end of the 13th game, the number of pt high-probability remaining games becomes 0, but at this time, if the number of pt high-probability sets is not 0, the high-probability mode continues, and if the number of pt high-probability sets is 0, the pt high. The probability flag is set to off and the mode shifts to the normal mode (step S1B13 in FIG. 24). Here, since the number of pt high probability sets is 0, the mode shifts to the normal mode, and the normal state (normal mode) effect is set as the effect of the 14th game, which is the next game (FIG. 33 (b)). FIG. 39 (e) shows that the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 260) are displayed.

[Operation in normal state (2)]
Next, in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, the flow when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in the normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 and 41. FIG. 40 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in the normal state. FIG. 41 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 40.

In the example of FIG. 40, the first game is in the normal state (normal mode) and the state B, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt at the end of the game are both 900, and the number of pt high probability remaining games is 0. ing. In this game, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here 900) are displayed (step S3227 in FIG. 33 (b)). In the following second game, there is no pt acquisition, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are maintained as they are, and the production content is also maintained as it is.

In the following third game, it is assumed that by winning the condition device number 11 internally, the lottery for the number of pt high probability sets is won and 1 is added to the number of pt high probability sets (step S1207 in FIG. 15). In this case, the pt high probability flag is set to on, and the mode shifts to the high probability mode (step S1209 in FIG. 15). Then, after the pt (here, 20) acquired in the pt lottery (high probability mode) is added to the cumulative acquired pt (step S1243, step S1247 in FIG. 16), the number of pt high probability sets is 1, so that the pt is pt. The value of the number of remaining games with high probability is set (yes determination in step S1255 of FIG. 16). These pieces of information are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 (step S1041 in FIG. 12), and the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 920 (step S3217 in FIG. 33 (b)). In FIG. 41 (b), in the production corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed by being circled (here, +20), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquired pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (here, 920 is displayed), and the number of pt high-probability remaining games is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 9 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

In the fourth game, the normal state (high probability mode) and the state B continue, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the number of pt high probability remaining games is subtracted by 1 (8 in this case). (Step S1243, step S1253 in FIG. 16). In the fourth game, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. By adding this acquired pt, the value of the cumulative acquired pt becomes 1020 (step S1247 in FIG. 16), and further, the value of the display pt of the first sub-control unit 400 becomes 1020 by the information of the acquired pt (step S1247 in FIG. 16). Step S3217 in FIG. 33 (b). In FIG. 41 (c), in the production corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed by being circled (here, +100), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquired pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (here, 1020 is displayed), and the number of pt high-probability remaining games is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 8 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

In the above example, the cumulative acquisition pt has reached 1000 in the fourth game. When the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 and the number of pt high probability remaining games is 0, the 1000 pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15), and the CZ lottery or AT lottery is executed in the subsequent game (step S1237 in FIG. 15). Yes determination in step S1201 of FIG. 15). By this process, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are postponed while the high probability mode is continued until the number of pt high probability remaining games becomes 0 so that more pt can be obtained. In this fourth game, the number of pt high-probability remaining games is not 0, so the high-probability mode continues as it is.

The normal state (high probability mode) and state B continue after the 5th game, and when the 12th game is started, the value of the number of remaining games with high probability of pt is subtracted to 0, and the value of the cumulative acquisition pt is 1230. , It is assumed that the value of the display pt becomes 1230. In FIG. 41 (d), in the production corresponding to the normal state (high probability mode), the acquired pt is displayed by being circled (here, +10), and the display pt (here, the same as the cumulative acquired pt). It is shown that the value) is displayed in the upper left (here, 1230 is displayed), and the number of pt high-probability remaining games is displayed in the upper right (here, the remaining 0 is displayed) (FIG. 33 (b)). Step S3213, step S3217, step S3227).

When the value of the number of remaining games with high probability of pt becomes 0 in the twelfth game, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15). Upon receiving this information, the first sub-control unit 400 temporarily executes the effect of the normal state (normal mode) at the end of the game (reels 110 to 112 are stopped or the payout is completed) (step S3A21 in FIG. 36). FIG. 41 (e) shows that the background corresponding to the normal state (normal mode) and the value of the display pt (here, 1230) are displayed. In this embodiment, the display is displayed in a hatched state so that it is easy to understand that the display pt exceeds 1000. As for this display, it is sufficient if it can be understood that the displayed value has reached a predetermined value, and the mode is not limited.

In the following thirteenth game, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are executed when the game is started, 1000 is subtracted from the cumulative acquired pt (230 in this case), and the 1000 pt arrival flag and the pt high probability flag are set to off. , The value of the pt high probability set number is cleared to 0 (yes determination in step S1201 of FIG. 15). On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the lottery effect is executed, and the value of the current cumulative acquisition pt (here 230) is set as the value of the display pt (step S3221 in FIG. 33 (b)). FIG. 41 (f) shows an example at the start of the lottery effect, and FIG. 41 (g) shows an example when the content indicating that the CZ lottery was won by the lottery effect is displayed. Has been done.

By winning the 13th game CZ lottery, the game state shifts to CZ at the end of the game (step S1B07 in FIG. 24), and CZ starts from the next game. In FIG. 40, it is shown that the transition to CZ is performed from the 14th game.

[Operation in normal state (3)]
In the present embodiment, the loop of shifting from the normal state to the CZ and AT states and returning to the normal state is repeated (see FIG. 9). Of these, in the normal state, the game can be enjoyed by acquiring pt for shifting to the CZ or AT state, and after shifting to the CZ or AT state, the game can be enjoyed by acquiring more profit.

In the above loop, when the CZ or AT state ends and the state A shifts to the state A, the parameters related to the state B are initialized and the state A becomes the most disadvantageous state. May end the game. In order to prevent such a situation, in the present embodiment, the stay period of the state A is shorter than that of the state B (easy to shift), and the high probability mode is set immediately after the transition from the state A to the state B. (Refer to [Operation in normal state (1)]). It should be noted that such a configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the high-probability mode is always set, and the configuration in which the high-probability mode is more likely to be set immediately after the transition from the state A to the state B as compared with other times. It may be adopted.

Further, since the state A is set as the initial state at the time of shipment from the factory or after the setting is changed in the present embodiment, after the setting is changed, the state A is changed to the state B and the high probability mode is set. Operation will occur. Since the setting change is generally performed outside business hours, it is easy to grasp such an operation when the store is opened, and there is a possibility that the presence or absence of the setting change may be inferred. In order to prevent such a situation, in the present embodiment, the effect corresponding to the first high-probability mode after the setting change is not executed, and the same effect as the normal mode is adopted. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 and 43. FIG. 42 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation after the setting is changed. FIG. 43 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 42.

In the example of FIG. 42, the first game is the first game after the setting is changed. The state after the setting change is the normal state and the state A, and the values of the cumulative acquisition pt and the number of pt high-probability remaining games are 0 (step S101 in FIG. 11). On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the effect of the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 43A by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to on. In the state A (state B flag off), the state B transition lottery (step S1003 in FIG. 12) is executed, but since no internal winning is done in this first game, win this lottery. The game ends without.

In the following second game, the state B transition lottery is won by internally winning the condition device number 8, and the state B flag is set to ON by this winning, and the preparation process for the state B is executed (FIG. 12). Step S1005 to step S1019). FIG. 42 shows that the transition from the state A to the state B in the second game and that the pt high probability remaining game number is set to 10. At the end of the second game, the pt high probability flag is set to ON (step S1B15 in FIG. 24), and the high probability mode is set from the next game. The effect executed in the second game is the same as in the first game (FIG. 43 (a)).

The third game is a normal state (high probability mode) and a state B. In this state, the pt lottery (high probability mode) is executed at the start of the game, and the number of pt high probability remaining games is subtracted by 1 (here, 9) (steps S1243 and S1253 in FIG. 16). In the pt lottery (high probability mode) here, 100 is derived as the acquired pt by internally winning the condition device number 6. By adding this acquired pt, the value of the cumulative acquired pt becomes 100 (step S1247 in FIG. 16).

Here, when the morning one flag is not turned on, the normal middle effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)) is executed in the first sub-control unit 400, and the effect corresponding to the mode in the normal state is executed (FIG. 38). ~ FIG. 41). In this case, the value of the acquired pt is reflected in the display pt. However, since the morning one flag is set to on after the setting change, the morning one effect setting process (FIG. 33 (a)) is executed without executing the normal middle effect setting process.

In the morning one effect setting process, the background in the normal state is maintained, and the false pt addition effect is executed (step S3203 in FIG. 33 (a)). In this false pt addition effect, a lottery similar to the pt lottery (step S1245 in FIG. 16) executed by the main control unit 300 in the normal mode is performed, and the pt derived here is used. That is, it is an effect to make it appear that the normal mode is set regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value. Here, it is assumed that 50 is derived by the pt lottery in the first sub-control unit 400 in the third game, and the value of the display pt is 50 using this. In FIG. 43 (b), when the normal state (high probability mode) is actually obtained and the acquired pt is 100, the normal state (normal mode) is produced, and the first sub-control unit 400 is used here. It is shown that the derived pt is circled and displayed (here +50), and the display pt (here, a value different from the cumulative acquired pt) is displayed in the upper left (here, 50 is displayed). (Step S3203 in FIG. 33 (a)).

After that, while the morning one flag is set to on, the false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value. Here, before the number of pt high-probability remaining games becomes 0, the pt high-probability set number lottery (step S1203 in FIG. 15) is won to obtain 2 pt high-probability set numbers (equivalent to 20 pt high-probability remaining games). Continue the explanation as if it was done. By acquiring the number of pt high-probability sets, the high-probability mode continues for a total of 30 games, and at the end of the 32nd game from the setting change, the cumulative acquired pt value becomes 510 and the display pt value becomes 80. Suppose that it became. At this time, since both the number of pt high-probability sets and the number of pt high-probability remaining games are 0, the pt high-probability flag is set to off, and the mode shifts to the normal mode from the 33rd game, which is the next game.

In the 33rd game, the morning one flag is set to off because the condition for canceling the morning one flag (30 games or more have passed since the power was turned on and the normal mode (pt high probability flag is off) in the normal state) is satisfied. (Step S3011 in FIG. 31). As a result, the normal middle effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)) is executed in the first sub-control unit 400, and the effect corresponding to the mode in the normal state is executed. For example, in the 35th game, the pt high-probability set number lottery is won and the mode shifts to the high-probability mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 43 (c), the effect corresponding to the high-probability mode is executed.

[Operation in normal state (4)]
Since the state A is set as the initial state at the time of shipment from the factory or after the setting is changed in the present embodiment, a series of operations in which the state A is changed to the state B and the high probability mode is set after the setting is changed. Will occur. Since the setting change is generally performed outside business hours, it is easy to grasp such an operation when the store is opened, and there is a possibility that the presence or absence of the setting change may be inferred. On the other hand, even if the setting is not changed, the mode may shift to the high probability mode, and the player who sees the corresponding effect may misunderstand whether or not the setting is changed and suffer a disadvantage. For this reason, in the present embodiment, even if the mode shifts to the high-probability mode for 30 games after the power is turned on, the corresponding effect is not executed, and the same effect as in the normal mode is adopted. There is. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 44 and 45. FIG. 44 is a timing chart showing an example of operation when the power is turned on without changing the setting. FIG. 45 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 44.

In the example of FIG. 44, the first game is the first game after the power is turned on. The state at the time of power failure is the normal state and the state B, the cumulative acquisition pt is 500, and the value of the number of pt high-probability remaining games is 0 (pt high-probability flag off, normal mode). These values are reset when the power is turned on. On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the effect of the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 45A by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to on.

Here, when the morning one flag is not turned on, the normal middle effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)) is executed in the first sub-control unit 400, and the effect corresponding to the mode in the normal state is executed (FIG. 38). ~ FIG. 41). In this case, the value of the acquired pt is reflected in the display pt. However, when the morning one flag is set to on, the morning one effect setting process (FIG. 33 (a)) is executed without executing the normal middle effect setting process.

In the morning one effect setting process, the background in the normal state is maintained, and the false pt addition effect is executed (step S3203 in FIG. 33 (a)). In this false pt addition effect, a lottery similar to the pt lottery (step S1245 in FIG. 16) executed by the main control unit 300 in the normal mode is performed, and the pt derived here is used. That is, it is an effect to make it appear that the normal mode is set regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value. After that, while the morning one flag is set to on, the false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value.

For example, in the third game, the condition device number 6 is internally won, so that the pt high-probability set number lottery is won and the mode shifts to the high-probability mode. However, FIG. 45 (b) shows the high-probability mode. It is shown that a value different from the pt actually acquired by the false pt addition effect and the cumulative acquired pt is displayed regardless of the fact and the acquired pt. Further, in FIG. 44, after this high-probability mode continues until the 12th game, it temporarily becomes the normal mode, and in the 15th game, it shifts to the high-probability mode again, but since the morning flag remains on, it is normal. It is shown that the effect of the state (due to the false pt addition effect) is performed.

In FIG. 44 described above, the case where the state at the time of power failure is the normal state (normal mode) has been described, but the morning flag is similarly set to ON even if the state at the time of power failure is the high probability mode. A false pt addition effect will be executed. Hereinafter, this case will be described with reference to FIG. 46. FIG. 46 is a timing chart showing an example of operation when the power is turned on without changing the setting.

In the example of FIG. 46, it is assumed that the first game to the fourth game are executed with the high probability mode set, and the power is cut off at the end of the fourth game. The state at the time of this power failure is a normal state and a state B, the cumulative acquisition pt is 720, and the value of the number of pt high-probability remaining games is 3 (pt high-probability flag-on, high-probability mode). These values are reset when the power is turned on. On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the effect of the normal state is executed as shown in FIG. 45A by the initial setting after the power is turned on, and the value of the display pt is set to 0 (FIG. 30). Step S301). Also, in this initial setting, the morning flag is set to on. As a result, the morning one effect setting process (FIG. 33 (a)) is executed from the fifth game, and the false pt addition effect is executed. In the state before the power failure, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt have the same value, but after the power is restored, the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt have different values.

As described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 46, regardless of whether the state before the power failure is the normal mode or the high probability mode, the effect corresponding to the normal mode when the power is turned on (due to the false pt addition effect). By executing, it is possible to hide the state at the time of power failure (for example, the state at the end of the previous day), and it is possible to prevent the presence or absence of setting change from being inferred.

[Operation in normal state (5)]
The false pt addition effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the actual acquired pt and its value by the morning one flag described above, but during this period, the cumulative acquired pt and the display pt will be different from each other. After the morning flag is turned off, the pt acquired in each game is added to the display pt as usual, but the above deviation remains as it is. This deviation is resolved when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 or when the state B ends (both the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are initialized, and the state B is newly entered. Will be).

Even if the display pt is less than 1000, if the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000, the lottery such as the CZ lottery and the lottery effect are executed regardless of whether the morning flag is on or not ( Step S1211 of FIG. 15 and step S3221 of FIG. 33 (b). Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to FIG. 47. FIG. 47 is a timing chart showing an example of an operation when the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 in a state where the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt are different from each other.

In the example of FIG. 47, the power is turned on again without changing the setting, and the cumulative acquisition pt is 850 and the display pt is 100 in the fifth game after the power is turned on. Further, since the morning one flag is set to on at this point, the effect in the normal state is executed by the false pt addition effect.

In the 6th game, by winning the condition device number 6 internally, the lottery for the number of pt high probability sets was won and the mode was changed to the high probability mode. The value of the display pt different from the pt and the cumulative acquisition pt is displayed. After that, this high-probability mode continues until the 15th game, but it is assumed that the cumulative acquisition pt reaches 1000 during that time. Then, when the number of pt high-probability remaining games becomes 0 in the 15th game, the 1000pt arrival flag is set to ON (step S1237 in FIG. 15).

In the following 16th game, the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are executed when the game is started, 1000 is subtracted from the cumulative acquired pt (90 in this case), and the 1000 pt arrival flag and the pt high probability flag are set to off. , The value of the pt high probability set number is cleared to 0 (yes determination in step S1201 of FIG. 15). On the other hand, in the first sub-control unit 400, the morning flag is set to off (step S3011 in FIG. 31), the lottery effect is executed by the normal effect setting process (FIG. 33 (b)), and the value of the display pt is set. The value of the current cumulative acquisition pt (90 in this case) is set (step S3221 in FIG. 33 (b)).

In the games after the 17th game, the morning one flag is set to off, and the difference between the cumulative acquisition pt and the display pt is eliminated. That is, the effect corresponding to the normal mode and the high probability mode can be executed, and the display pt and the cumulative acquisition pt are in the same state. In FIG. 47, it is shown that the 17th game of the next game is in the normal mode and the 18th game is shifted to the high probability mode without winning the CZ lottery or the AT lottery in the 16th game. In the game of, it is shown that the display pt and the cumulative acquisition pt are in the same state.

[Operation in normal state (6)]
Hereinafter, other configurations applicable to the normal operation described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 47 will be described.

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

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

Further, a configuration is adopted in which 10 pt high-probability remaining games are assigned when shifting to the state B or when the number of pt high-probability sets is subtracted by 1 (step S1019 in FIG. 12 and step S1259 in FIG. 16). As for this value, not only an arbitrary value can be adopted, but also a configuration in which a different value is set by lottery can be adopted. Further, the configuration may be such that the number of pt high-probability sets is given instead of the number of pt high-probability remaining games when shifting to the state B.

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

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

In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the morning flag is set to on when a power failure is restored. However, for example, in the case of a momentary power failure due to a lightning strike during business or a double power supply, the production is taken over as it is. In order to be able to do this (the morning one flag is not set to on), for example, the morning one flag may be set to be on according to the passage of time from the power failure to the power recovery.

Further, when setting the morning flag, it may be determined by lottery. In the case of this configuration, the operation after the power is turned on becomes uncertain, and it may be more difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed.

In the present embodiment, by facilitating the transition from a state disadvantageous to the player such as state A to an advantageous state such as state B and the high probability mode, the player's willingness to play even if the state is disadvantageous to the player. Can be prevented from declining. Such an advantageous state is not limited to the high probability mode, and may be, for example, a CZ or AT state, and a state in which a player can easily obtain a profit or a state in which a player can easily shift to such a state. Any configuration that can be easily migrated to is sufficient.

In the present embodiment, the effect corresponding to the state B and the high-probability mode (high-probability mode effect) is executed. Then, when the power is turned on after the setting is changed, the mode shifts to the high probability mode at an early stage. In this configuration, if the high-probability mode effect is started early after the power is turned on, it may be easily estimated that the setting has been changed. In order to prevent such a situation, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the morning flag is set to on when the power is turned on and a false pt addition effect is executed. Since the execution of the high-probability mode effect is restricted by this configuration, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. It should be noted that this configuration may be any configuration as long as it limits the effects that can be executed when the state B is entered, and is not limited to the effects corresponding to the high probability mode. That is, by limiting the effect that can be executed in the state B when the power is turned on, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the execution of the high-probability mode effect is restricted not only when the setting is changed but also when the setting is not changed, but the high probability is obtained only when the setting is changed. Even when a configuration that limits the execution of the mode effect is adopted, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the first high-probability mode effect after the setting change is always restricted, but the execution of the first high-probability mode effect may be restricted. A configuration may be adopted in which the on setting of the morning flag at the time of turning on the power is executed by lottery.

Further, for example, when the business is terminated with the high probability mode set on the previous day and the business is started on the next day in that state, the state in which the high probability mode is set is restored after the power is turned on. In this configuration, if the high-probability mode effect is started after the power is turned on, it may be easily estimated that the setting has not been changed. In order to prevent such a situation, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the morning flag is set to on when the power is turned on and a false pt addition effect is executed. Since the execution of the high-probability mode effect is restricted by this configuration, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. It should be noted that this configuration may be a configuration that limits the effects that are executed in response to a certain state, and is not limited to the effects that correspond to the high-probability mode. , RT, advantageous section, chance zone, high probability, internal winning state, etc., and are not particularly limited. That is, by limiting this effect when the power is turned on for the effect executed for a certain state, it is possible to make it difficult to guess whether or not the setting has been changed. In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the high probability mode is set at an early stage when the setting is changed, but even if such a configuration is not adopted, whether or not the setting is changed is adopted. It can be difficult to guess. Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of the high-probability mode effect after the power is turned on is always restricted, but the execution of the high-probability mode effect may be restricted in some cases. A configuration may be adopted in which the on setting of the morning flag is executed by lottery.

[Example of conditional addition]
In the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment, a conditional addition lottery is executed in the AT state. If this lottery is won, three conditions (hereinafter, first clear condition to third clear condition) are set along with the additional amount of AT remaining games (hereinafter, first clear condition to third clear condition) (step S1409 in FIG. 20A). When the condition of (clear) is satisfied (cleared), the set number of remaining AT games is added (step S1D03 in FIG. 26 (a)). In addition, an effect related to this is executed in the first sub-control unit 400 (step S3417 in FIG. 35A, step S3A07 in FIG. 36). Hereinafter, the operation when the conditional addition is won will be described with reference to the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49. FIG. 48 is a timing chart showing an example of a case where a conditional addition lottery is won. FIG. 49 is a diagram showing an example of an effect executed by the effect image display device 157 according to the timing chart shown in FIG. 48.

In the example of FIG. 48, it is assumed that the first game ends with the conditional addition flag turned off in the AT state, the conditional device number 10 is internally won in the subsequent second game, and the conditional addition lottery is further won. (Step S1409 in FIG. 20A). FIG. 48 shows that the conditional device number 10 was internally won in the second game, and that the conditional addition flag is set to ON by winning the conditional addition lottery. .. Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 10 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal winning of the conditional device number 8 as the first clearing condition, the internal winning of the conditional device number 9 as the second clearing condition, and the third clearing condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as.

At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (a), the effect image display device 157 of the condition device number 10 The operation navigation showing the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, an image showing that the conditional addition lottery has been won is displayed because the conditional addition flag is turned on (step S3417 in FIG. 35A). In FIG. 49A, as an example of this image, three circle TCs displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 are shown. Of these three circles TC, the lower left circle corresponds to the first clear condition, the middle upper circle corresponds to the second clear condition, and the lower right circle corresponds to the third clear condition. The initial state of these circles is set to white, and the part where the corresponding clear condition is satisfied is judged at the end of the game and changed to the color corresponding to the additional amount won in the conditional additional lottery (Fig.). 36 step S3A07). Specifically, when the additional amount is 10 games and 20 games, it changes to green, and when it is 30 games and 100 games, it changes to gold. That is, when all three circle TCs turn green or all turn gold, all the first clear conditions to the third clear conditions are cleared, and the number of remaining AT games is added. At the start of the second game, all the circles are white because it has not been determined that each clearing condition is satisfied. The timing of determining the establishment of the clear condition is not particularly limited, and for example, the determination may be made before the reel is stopped.

In this second game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of 5) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circle TCs changes to green as shown in FIG. 49 (b) (in this figure, the circle is changed to green). Green is shown by diagonal cross-hatching).

In the third game, it is assumed that the condition device number 9 is internally won. FIG. 48 shows that the condition device number 9 was internally elected in the third game. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 9 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (c), the correct answer of the condition device number 9 in the effect image display device 157. The operation navigation showing the operation order (middle first stop) of is displayed. In the third game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of 5) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the second clear condition is satisfied, the middle and upper circles of the three circle TCs change as shown in FIG. 49 (d) (in this figure, the green color is an oblique line. (Shown by cross-hatching).

In the fourth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 8 is internally won. FIG. 48 shows that the condition device number 8 was internally elected in the fourth game. Further, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 8 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (e), the correct answer of the condition device number 8 in the effect image display device 157. The operation navigation showing the operation order (first stop on the left) of is displayed. In the game of the 4th game, it is assumed that 8 medals are obtained (net increase of 5) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the first clear condition is satisfied, the lower left circle of the three circle TCs changes as shown in FIG. 49 (f) (in this figure, the green color is oblique). Shown by line cross-hatching).

Further, when all three circle TCs turn green (clear all the first clear condition to the third clear condition), the three circle TCs blink as shown in FIG. 49 (g), and further, FIG. 49 (h). ), The effect of prompting the user to press a predetermined button (for example, one of the stop buttons) is executed. Further, when this predetermined button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 49 (i), the three round TCs disappear, the additional amount won by the conditional additional winning is displayed, and the number of remaining AT games is added. When this addition is made, the conditional addition flag is set to off (step S1D05 in FIG. 26A).

In the following fifth game, it is assumed that the condition device number 10 is internally won and then the conditional addition lottery is newly won (step S1409 in FIG. 20A). FIG. 48 shows that the conditional device number 10 was internally won in the fifth game, and that the conditional addition flag was set to on again by winning the conditional addition lottery. There is. Here, as a result of the conditional additional lottery, 30 games are set as the number of additional games, the internal winning of the conditional device number 8 as the first clearing condition, the internal winning of the conditional device number 9 as the second clearing condition, and the third clearing condition. It is assumed that the internal winning of the condition device number 10 is set as.

At this time, since the first sub-control unit 400 internally won the condition device number 10 which is the push order bell in the AT state, as shown in FIG. 49 (j), the condition device number 10 is displayed in the effect image display device 157. The operation navigation showing the correct operation order (first stop on the right) is displayed. Further, in the first sub-control unit 400, since the conditional addition flag is turned on, three circle TCs are displayed in the upper left of the display area of the effect image display device 157 as in FIG. 49 (a). At the start of the fifth game, all the circles are white because it has not been determined that each clearing condition is satisfied.

In this fifth game, it is assumed that eight medals are obtained (net increase of five) by operating according to the operation navigation. Here, in the first sub-control unit 400, when the third clear condition is satisfied, the lower right circle of the three circle TCs changes to gold as shown in FIG. 49 (k) (in this figure, the circle is changed to gold). The gold color is shown by the hatching that goes down to the left).

Although FIG. 48 shows the sixth to ninth games, it is shown that the first clear condition and the second clear condition are not satisfied during this period. In the 9th game, the condition device number 10, which is the third clear condition, was internally won again, but at this point, the third clear condition has already been cleared, and at least the 6th to 9th games have been cleared. During that time, the colors of the three circle TCs do not change.

[Other configurations for conditional addition]
In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49 described above, the number of remaining AT games is added when the first clear condition to the third clear condition (in the example of FIG. 48, the condition device numbers 8 to 10 are internally won) are cleared. The configuration is adopted. Further, a privilege image corresponding to the given additional amount (in the example of FIG. 49, all three green or gold circle TCs) is prepared, and the above-mentioned first clear condition to the third are obtained for this privilege image. A configuration is adopted in which a part corresponding to the clear condition is set, and when any of the first clear condition to the third clear condition is cleared, the part corresponding to the cleared condition is displayed. With this configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by expecting an addition for each clear of the first clear condition to the third clear condition. Further, as the clearing of the first clear condition to the third clear condition progresses, the privilege image is gradually displayed, so that the additional amount to be obtained can be estimated and the interest of the game can be improved.

In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, a configuration is described in which three clear conditions, a first clear condition to a third clear condition, are provided and the three clear conditions are associated with the three parts of the privilege image. Here, the configuration in which the privilege image is gradually displayed at different timings when the clear condition is satisfied is not limited to the above configuration, and the clear condition is associated with each of a plurality of parts of the privilege image. Just do it. Further, the timing of association is not limited to the timing at which the clear condition is set, and may be configured to determine which part is to be displayed at the timing when any of the clear conditions is satisfied, for example. Further, the criteria for determining the determination are not particularly limited, and for example, a configuration in which the corresponding portion is randomly determined may be used.

In the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, as a clear condition corresponding to one part of the privilege image, a condition that is satisfied according to the winning internal winning combination is adopted, but the content of this clear condition is described in the above example. Various conditions can be adopted without being limited to. For example, in FIGS. 48 and 49, the configuration in which the internal winning of the push order bell is a clear condition has been described, but a configuration in which a condition device different from the push order bell is used as a clear condition for a part or all of the push order bell may be used. In addition, it is not an internal winning combination but a condition that is satisfied by a winning combination or a reel stop mode, a condition that is established by the result of some lottery executed by the main control unit 300, a game such as the number of games and the winning history of the combination. It may be a condition that is satisfied by the history of the game and a condition that is satisfied by the elapsed time in the game. Further, it may be a condition that is satisfied according to the operation conditions (operation contents) such as the operated operation means, the operation order and the operation timing, and the lottery result for each game (for a plurality of games) regardless of such an operation. It may be a condition that is satisfied by the combination of the lottery result for each game and the operation of the player. The operating means is not limited to the various operating means provided in the present embodiment, and for example, an operating means for directing may be used. By associating the clear condition with the operation condition, it is possible to give fun to the operation. Further, for example, after winning the conditional addition, the first clear condition is satisfied by the first internal winning of the conditional device number 8, and the second clear condition is satisfied by the second internal winning of the conditional device number 8. The configuration is such that the third clear condition is satisfied by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 for the first time, and the configuration that the first clear condition and the second clear condition are satisfied by the internal winning of the same condition device number. There may be common requirements among the clearing conditions corresponding to the parts.

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

Further, in the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, the cleared state is maintained as it is, but the cleared state is reset later, for example, by setting a valid period in the cleared state. Alternatively, another clear condition may be reset. Further, the clearing condition may be changed in the middle, such as setting a valid period for the clearing condition.

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

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

In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the amount of addition is determined in advance in the conditional addition lottery, but the privilege may be determined when the clear condition is first satisfied. Further, the configuration may be such that the predetermined privilege can be changed on the way. In this case, the privilege image may be used according to the privilege before the change, or the privilege image may be changed according to the privilege after the change.

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

In the present embodiment, when the AT state is terminated (shifted to the normal state) without satisfying all the clearing conditions, the privilege obtained if all the clearing conditions are satisfied cannot be obtained. However, when the AT state ends, a privilege corresponding to the clearing condition that has been established halfway may be given. For example, if two of the three circle TCs in FIG. 49 are gold, 10 games may be added (in this case, the number of remaining AT games is 10). And the three circle TCs disappear). When adopting this configuration, it is better that the benefits obtained when the clearing conditions are met halfway are less (disadvantageous to the player) than the benefits obtained when all the clearing conditions are met. preferable.

In the example of FIG. 49, an example in which the colors shown in FIGS. 50 (a) and 50 (b) are associated with the number of additional games that can be acquired has been described. Specifically, when the three round TCs have the same color, 10 or 20 games if it is green and 30 or 100 games if it is gold are added to the number of AT remaining games. In the example of FIG. 49, only the modes shown in FIGS. 50 (a) and 50 (b) were used, but for example, if the colors are not all the same and different colors are included, the result is not added. (Addition failure) may occur. In the example of FIG. 50 (c), the lower left and lower right of the three circle TCs are green, and the upper middle is gold, and when this privilege image is displayed, 20%. There is a probability that the number of remaining AT games will be increased by 10 games (80% probability of failure). Further, it may be configured to give a large reward when the three circle TCs have a specific color combination, and information such as a setting suggestion may be included in addition to the addition. In the example of FIG. 50 (d), an example in which each of the three circle TCs has a different color is shown, and when this privilege image is displayed, the number of remaining AT games is added by 100 games, and the set value. Is suggested to be one of 456.

Further, it may be configured to suggest clearing conditions corresponding to each part of the three round TCs. In the example of FIG. 50 (e), the part where the katakana "chi" is displayed suggests that the internal winning of the cherry is a clear condition, and the part where the katakana "su" is displayed is. , It is suggested that the internal winning of watermelon is a clear condition, and the part where the katakana "be" is displayed is the clear condition of the internal winning of the push order bell (or common bell). It suggests. In this example, the part where the katakana "be" is displayed is in the lower left, which also suggests that the internal winning of the left 1st bell is a clear condition. As described above, when suggesting the clearing condition, not only the notation but also the position may be suggested. Further, the portion where the katakana is not displayed may be used as a suggestion of some internal winning (for example, push order bell). Further, it may be configured to suggest by adding a clearing condition different from the actual clearing condition. Further, it is not limited to suggesting all clearing conditions, but may suggest some clearing conditions. In the example of FIG. 50 (e), the relationship between the clear condition and the corresponding portion is clarified, but the configuration may be such that only the clear condition is suggested and the corresponding portion is not displayed. In the configuration suggesting the clearing condition as described above, the player can be made to recognize the clearing condition, and for example, if the clearing condition can be satisfied, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of challenging the clearing condition. Also, by clarifying the part corresponding to the clearing condition, it is possible to give fun such as aiming at the part to be displayed.

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

Further, the privilege image is not limited to the three circle TCs shown in FIGS. 49 and 50 (a) to 50 (d), and various images can be used. For example, FIGS. 50 (j) to 50 (p) show an example in which a character is used as a privilege image.

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

In the example of FIGS. 50 (m) and 50 (n), FIG. 50 (m) is a privilege image corresponding to a privilege that can acquire an additional 100 games with a 100% probability, and FIG. 50 (n) is an additional 100 games with a 100% probability. It is a privilege image corresponding to the privilege which acquired 100 games and further suggests that the set value is one of 456. These privilege images are examples in which a princess character showing a privilege more advantageous than the basic form (an image in which only the main character is displayed) of FIG. 50 (j) is used. This princess character indicates that the addition of 100 games or more has been confirmed. Further, the Haniwa character displayed at the lower left of the privilege image of FIG. 50 (n) suggests that the set value is 456, and even if it is used in combination with the main character and others of FIG. 50 (j). good.

In addition, although the middle part is common in FIGS. 50 (j) to (l) and 50 (m) to (n), the privilege image having the common part with other privilege images is described. May be configured so that the common part can be seen from the beginning. Further, the case where the common part is shown from the beginning and the case where the common part is not shown may be determined by lottery.

In addition, the image of the treasure box in FIG. 50 (o) suggests that the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20 (a)) has been won. In this case, information about the game can be obtained from the privilege image. The character image of the robot in FIG. 50 (p) is a privilege image from which data for customization can be acquired.

When a plurality of privilege images are used as shown in FIGS. 50 (j) to (p), they are arranged in a preset area such as the frame shown by the cross hatching in FIG. 50 (q). You may do it. Further, for such an area, a plurality of positions that can be arranged may be provided, and this position may be appropriately selected and used. However, the position and the obtained privilege are not predicted so that the obtained privilege is not predicted. It is preferable not to be related to. Further, in the example of FIGS. 50 (j) to 50 (p), the background of the character exists, but the background may be configured so that nothing is displayed.

FIG. 51 is a diagram showing an example of the operation of the conditional addition lottery when the privilege images of FIGS. 50 (j) to 50 (p) are used.

FIG. 51A shows an example of the operation corresponding to the second to fourth games of FIG. 48. In this example, the first clear condition corresponds to the left part, the second clear condition corresponds to the middle part, and the third clear condition corresponds to the right part. In the example of FIG. 48, the third clear condition, the second clear condition, and the first clear condition are satisfied in this order, so that the operation in this case is as shown in FIG. Displayed in order.

FIG. 51 (b) shows an example in which the already satisfied clear condition is satisfied again. In this example, the internal winning of the condition device number 9 (middle 1st bell) is the clear condition corresponding to the middle part of the privilege image. When the middle part of the privilege image is not displayed, the middle part is displayed by the internal winning of the middle 1st bell. Furthermore, although the middle 1st bell was internally elected, the middle part has already been displayed, so there is no new part to be displayed. Further, in this figure, it is shown that the left part that was not displayed is displayed by the internal winning of the condition device number 8 (left 1st bell) which is the clear condition corresponding to the left part.

FIG. 51 (c) shows an example in which the same condition device (here, cherry) is associated with each portion. In this example, by winning the cherry three times internally, the privilege images are displayed in order from the left. The part corresponding to the internal winning (clearing condition) of the first to third cherries may be determined when the clearing condition is set, or is determined randomly or by lottery each time the clearing condition is satisfied. May be. In any configuration, it is sufficient that the clear condition and the privilege image part are associated with each other.

FIG. 51 (d) is an example in the case of adopting a configuration in which the privilege changes in the middle. In this example, after the middle 1st bell internal winning set as the clear condition corresponding to the middle part is established and the middle part is displayed, the strong cherry is internally won and the number of additional games increases (privilege changes). , It is shown that the privilege image used by this has changed. It should be noted that the change of the privilege image is not limited to the mode in which the character is replaced as in this example, but may be a mode in which an image such as the star mark described with reference to FIGS. 50 (k) and 50 (l) is added.

FIG. 51 (e) is an example in the case where the clear condition corresponding to the operation order is used. In this example, the right part of the privilege image is displayed by pressing forward when the common bell is internally won, and the left part of the privilege image is displayed by pressing backward when the common bell is internally won. In this configuration, the part to be displayed can be determined by the operation. Therefore, by using a privilege image in which the information obtained differs depending on the displayed portion, the player can select and display the information desired to be acquired. In the privilege image of FIG. 51 (e), the "G addition" on the right side recognizes that the number of additional games can be acquired, and the "50" on the left side recognizes the number related to the privilege. In this example, the information about the acquisition of the number of additional games is obtained first, but the number regarding the privilege can be displayed first. In addition to "G addition" that shows information that can acquire the number of additional games as such a privilege image, "set addition" as a privilege when the number of AT sets is adopted, the period of the AT state is the number of games. "Addition of navigation" is used as a privilege when managing by the number of times of navigation, and "acquisition of cards" is used as a privilege when managing the AT state period by the number of available cards instead of the number of games. By using a display such as "pt acquisition" as a privilege in the case, the content of the privilege that can be acquired can be inferred. In addition, for example, only the numbers (only the left part in FIG. 51 (e)) may be displayed, and the right part may be displayed so that the content of the privilege can be grasped. Further, the displayed portion of these privilege images may not be selected according to the operation of the player. For example, in the case of a configuration in which the AT state is managed using two parameters of the number of navigations and the number of sheets that can be acquired, either of the above-mentioned "add navigation" or "acquisition of sheets" can be used. That is, the management configuration of the AT state is not limited, and an appropriate display can be adopted according to the management configuration of the AT state.

The privilege image has been described above with an example. In addition, if a part of the privilege image is common to different privilege images, it is not possible to determine which privilege image is displayed when this part is only displayed. May increase expectations for. Further, in the example of FIG. 49, the three circle TCs are grouped together, but each portion of the privilege image may be arranged apart from each other in the display area of the effect image display device 157. In addition, a part of the privilege image may be displayed from the beginning. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 48 and 49, the state in which none of the clearing conditions is satisfied can be grasped by the fact that the three circle TCs are white.

In this embodiment, if the AT lottery is won during the CZ, either the BAR right or the peach 7 right is acquired (step S1305 in FIG. 19). Regarding these rights, there is a condition device that shifts to the AT state regardless of the stop mode when an internal win is made, but if these condition devices are internally won, a stop operation is urged to win a specific role. The aiming effect is executed (step S3307 in FIG. 34). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the case where the BAR right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device number 2 is a condition device for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C01 in FIG. 25). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 52, the operation when the condition device number 2 is internally won while the BAR right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 52A shows that in the effect image display device 157, the aim effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol is executed in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that encourages this stop operation.

According to this aiming effect, the stop operation is first performed by aiming at the BAR symbol on the right reel 112. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pulling range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 52 (b), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 52 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Subsequently, when the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 are stopped by aiming at the BAR symbol, the BAR symbol is within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) based on the position on the winning line. It is necessary to perform a stop operation at a certain timing. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) is on the winning line. Further, it is necessary to stop the left reel 110 at the timing when the range from No. 19 (blank 1 symbol) and No. 0 (bell symbol) to No. 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. FIG. 52 (d) shows the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the middle reel 111 with four BAR symbols, and FIG. 52 (e) shows the BAR symbols on the winning line due to the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown in. Further, in FIG. 52 (f), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols in the left reel 110 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 52 (g), the BAR symbol is a winning line due to the left third stop. The stopped state is shown above.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in a state of winning the replay combination 10 (BAR replay). At this time, as shown in FIG. 52 (h), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the AT state is entered. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

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

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

Next, the case where the peach 7 right is acquired will be described. In this case, the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are condition devices for shifting to the AT state (Yes in step S1C03 in FIG. 25). Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 53, the operation when the condition device number 3 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 53A shows that in the effect image display device 157, the aim effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol is executed in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 3 is internally won, the BAR symbol cannot be stopped on the winning line regardless of the stop operation. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the BAR symbol is aimed at the right reel 112 and the stop operation is performed as in the example of FIG. 52.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pulling range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. Of these, the stop operation at the timing when the range from No. 1 (replay symbol) to No. 4 (Seven 2 symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is to stop the Seven 2 symbol at the winning line. It is also the timing of (both symbols are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 53 (b), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As explained above, among the timings to stop the BAR symbol, the timing when the BAR symbol is in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is also the timing to stop the Seven 2 symbol, so aim for the BAR symbol. As a result, the Seven 2 symbol may stop. FIG. 53 (c) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 53 (d), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the effect is changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though he aimed at the BAR symbol, but he knows the symbol that should be originally aimed by this change. As a result, it is possible to be convinced that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Subsequently, the middle reel 111 and the left reel 110 are stopped by aiming at the Seven 2 symbol. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the 7 symbols are on the winning line. More specifically, a stop operation is required at the timing when the range from the number 0 (cherry symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. Further, a stop operation is required at the timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 53 (e), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols in the middle reel 111 is shown by four Seven 2 symbols, and in FIG. 53 (f), the Seven 2 symbols are won by the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown on the line. Further, FIG. 53 (g) shows the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 with four Seven 2 symbols, and FIG. 53 (h) shows the Seven 2 symbols due to the left third stop. The state of being stopped is shown on the winning line.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in a state of winning the replay role 16 (peach 7 replay). As a result, the aiming effect in this case is an effect that encourages a stop operation for winning the replaying combination 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 53 (i), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the AT state is entered. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

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

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

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 54, the operation when the condition device number 4 is internally won while the peach 7 right is acquired will be described.

FIG. 54A shows that in the effect image display device 157, the aim effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol is executed in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, since the condition device number 4 is internally won, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line at the first right stop.

It is assumed that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol on the right reel 112 according to this aiming effect. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pulling range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the right reel 112 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (replay symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) of the right reel 112 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. In FIG. 54 (b), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 54 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Regarding the subsequent middle second stop, the stop operation will be performed aiming at the BAR symbol, but since the condition device number 4 is internally won here, the middle reel 111 has the BAR symbol regardless of the stop operation. Cannot be stopped on the winning line. However, since the player does not know that the BAR symbol cannot be stopped, the BAR symbol is aimed at the middle reel 111 and the stop operation is performed as in the example of FIG. 52.

In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pulling range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. More specifically, it is necessary to stop the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 at the timing when the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 5 (BAR symbol) is on the winning line. Of these, the timing at which the range from the number 1 (watermelon symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the middle reel 111 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the seven 2 symbol at the winning line. (Both symbols are within the pull-in range). In FIG. 54 (d), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the middle reel 111 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. However, here, the BAR symbol does not stop on the winning line, and the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are preferentially stopped. As explained above, among the timings for stopping the BAR symbol, the timing when the BAR symbol is in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols in the middle reel 111 is also the timing for stopping the Seven 2 symbol, so aim for the BAR symbol. As a result, the Seven 2 symbol may stop. FIG. 54 (e) shows a state in which the Seven 2 symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the middle second stop.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 54 (f), in the effect image display device 157, the content of the effect is changed so as to aim at the Seven 2 symbol instead of the BAR symbol. If the aiming effect before the change is executed as it is, the player may feel uncomfortable that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped even though he aimed at the BAR symbol. In particular, unlike the example of FIG. 53, the stop mode of the right first stop is the same as that of the example of FIG. 1, so that there is a possibility that the feeling of discomfort will be greater. As a result, it is possible to be convinced that the Seven 2 symbol has stopped and to increase the motivation for the subsequent stop operation.

Subsequently, the stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven 2 symbol on the left reel 110. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the 7 symbols are on the winning line. More specifically, a stop operation is required at the timing when the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 4 (seven 2 symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line. Of these, the timing at which the range from the number 0 (bell symbol) to the number 3 (BAR symbol) of the left reel 110 shown in FIG. 5 is on the winning line is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbol at the winning line (in any case). The design of is also within the pull-in range). In FIG. 54 (g), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by 4 Seven 2 symbols. However, here, the Seven 2 symbol does not stop on the winning line (Neither of the replaying roles 14 and 15 remaining as candidates for the winning combination stops on the left reel 110), and the Seven 1 symbol does not stop. And BAR symbols will be stopped preferentially. As described above, among the timings for stopping the Seven 2 symbols, the timing when the Seven 2 symbols are in the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is also the timing for stopping the BAR symbols. As a result, the BAR symbol may stop. FIG. 54 (h) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the left third stop. In this case, the Seven 2 symbols are aligned downward to the right.

As described above, by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect, the player is in a state of winning the replay role 15 (peach 7 replay). As a result, the aiming effect in this case is an effect that encourages a stop operation for winning the replaying combination 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 54 (i), the effect image display device 157 is notified that the AT state is entered. By this series of operations, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that the AT state can be shifted by the stop operation.

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

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

In the explanation of FIGS. 52 to 54, the aiming effect when the AT lottery is won (when the BAR right and the peach 7 right are acquired) has been described, but the aiming effect can be achieved even when the AT lottery is not won. It may be executed (step S3317 in FIG. 34). Hereinafter, an example of the operation when the condition device number 1 is internally won without winning the AT lottery will be described with reference to FIG. 55.

FIG. 55A shows that the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 1 is internally won, and the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line for the right first stop and the middle second stop.

It is assumed that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol on the right reel 112 according to this aiming effect. In order to stop the BAR symbol on the winning line, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pulling range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 55 (b), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the right reel 112 is shown by 4 BAR symbols. Further, FIG. 55 (c) shows a state in which the BAR symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the first right stop.

Subsequently, even when the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol on the middle reel 111, the BAR symbol is stopped at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) based on the position on the winning line. You need to do something. In FIG. 55 (d), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols in the middle reel 111 is shown by four BAR symbols, and in FIG. 55 (e), the BAR symbols are on the winning line due to the middle second stop. The stopped state is shown in.

Subsequently, the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol on the left reel 110. In this case, it is necessary to perform the stop operation at the timing within the range of 4 symbols (within the pull-in range) from the position where the BAR symbol is on the winning line. In FIG. 55 (f), the pull-in range of the 1st to 4th symbols on the left reel 110 is shown by 4 Seven 2 symbols. However, here, only the replay combination 8 remains as a candidate for the winning combination, and only the replay symbol is stopped on the left reel 110. FIG. 55 (g) shows a state in which the replay symbol is stopped on the winning line due to the left third stop.

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

If the condition device number 1 is internally won, even if the stop operation is performed according to the aiming effect, none of the replaying combinations 10, 15 and 16 that are won at the time of AT winning will be won. At this time, as shown in FIG. 55 (h), the effect image display device 157 displays a "sorry" message notifying that the AT state is not entered.

[Other configurations for aiming in CZ]
As described in the examples of FIGS. 52 to 55, in the present embodiment, it is possible to lead to a prize for a specific role while changing the target symbol on the way, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous to win the re-game combination 16 and the re-game combination 15 in FIGS. 53 and 54 than to win the re-game combination 10 in FIG. 52 (AT state). The number of initial AT remaining games is large, FIG. 18 (d). Although it is not necessary to adopt a configuration having a difference in the degree of advantage in this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by adopting a configuration that is more advantageous when the target symbol is changed. It should be noted that the configuration may be more disadvantageous when the target design is changed.

In the examples of FIGS. 53 and 54, the BAR symbol is aimed at and the effect is changed at the timing when the Seven 2 symbol that is really desired to be stopped stops, but when the Seven 2 symbol does not stop here. May continue as it is without changing the target effect. In particular, in the present embodiment, regardless of the stop mode, the seven 2 symbol does not stop because it is configured to shift from the next game to the AT state when the condition device corresponding to the acquired right is internally elected. You may execute the effect suggesting the transition to the AT state after continuing the effect as it is without changing the effect to be aimed at. Further, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a failure effect indicating that the target symbol has not stopped may be performed. In the examples of FIGS. 53 and 54, the target symbol is changed, but there may be a case where the effect of aiming at the Seven 2 symbol is executed from the beginning and the target symbol is not changed.

Further, regarding the timing of the change in the target effect, a symbol different from the symbol shown by the target effect (Seven 2 symbol in FIGS. 53 and 54) is set to the target position by the stop operation (middle row in FIGS. 53 and 54). It may be the moment when it is confirmed that it will be stopped, or it may be after the corresponding reel has stopped. In particular, depending on the reel symbol arrangement and the timing of pressing, a configuration that makes it easier to grasp the stop symbol may be adopted, and for such a configuration, it is preferable to change the target effect after the reel is stopped. In addition, depending on the player, it is possible that the player operates the game by inertia and does not notice that the target symbol has been changed, so it freezes along with the change of the target symbol so that it is easy to notice that the target symbol has changed. It may be configured to execute.

Further, as described with reference to FIGS. 52 and 55, the condition device number 2 can win the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved, while the condition device number 1 wins the re-game combination 10 when the internal winning is achieved. Although there is nothing to do, the winning combination is a stop mode (replaying combination 8 in FIG. 55) that is expected to win the replaying combination 10 halfway. On the other hand, in the condition device numbers 3 and 4 described with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54, it is possible to win the replaying combinations 15 and 16, respectively, but for these combinations, a condition device for expecting a prize is provided. Not done. That is, it can be grasped that the AT winning (acquisition of the peach 7 right) is confirmed when the target symbol is changed in the aiming effect. Not limited to this configuration, the replaying combinations 15 and 16 may be configured to be provided with a condition device for expecting a prize in these combinations.

Further, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other, but even if they are not adjacent to each other, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped among the stop timings aimed at the BAR symbol. Should be included. For example, in the configuration in which the Seven 2 symbol is arranged above the BAR symbol in FIG. 5, the Seven 2 symbol is less likely to stop when aiming at the BAR symbol as the distance increases, but when the Seven 2 symbol stops. Can surprise the player because the amount of pulling in the reel is large. Further, in the present embodiment, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are adjacent to each other on the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, and there is a stop timing capable of stopping both of them. However, regarding the operation of FIG. 53, these reels are used. In, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other. Even in this configuration, the operation described with reference to FIG. 53 is established. As described above, at least one reel capable of stopping both the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol (for example, the right reel 112 in FIG. 53) may be provided, and the stop operation is performed on this reel. The configuration may be such that the aiming effect is changed at the timing. Further, regarding the operation of FIG. 54, the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol may not be adjacent to each other in the right reel 112.

In the examples of FIGS. 52 to 55, the configuration using the BAR symbol and the Seven 2 symbol has been described, but the symbols used are not limited to this. Further, the winning combination is not limited to the replaying combination, and various roles can be used. Further, in this example, the operation of the target effect is configured to be performed when notifying the transition to the AT state, but the application scene of this operation is not limited to this example. For example, in the present embodiment, if the condition device numbers 2 to 4 are internally won in the special zone, the number of remaining AT games is added, but the effect aimed at when the condition device is internally won is executed. It may be configured.

Here, an example in which the configuration of the target effect is combined with the bonus will be described with reference to FIG. 56. In this example, "7-7-7" is used to win the big bonus, and "7-7-BAR" is used to win the regular bonus. In this configuration, when the bonus is confirmed, as shown in FIG. 56 (a), a display that can be either a big bonus or a regular bonus is executed until all reels are stopped. Here, if 7 symbols stop on the upper stage of the left reel, the big bonus is confirmed (1st probability). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 56 (b), the display of the BAR symbol displayed on the screen at the stage when the first probability is reached is turned off to announce the confirmation of the big bonus. Also, for example, when the big bonus is established, by performing the stop operation when the 7 symbols are located in the upper left row, the 7 symbols are stopped in the upper left row and the big bonus is confirmed, while outside the display frame. If there are 7 symbols, the 7 symbols will be drawn to the middle left, and the big bonus will not be confirmed. In the case of a specification capable of determining the above, the instruction of the target symbol may be changed as in the present embodiment by performing the operation.

[About the aim production when moving to the specialized zone]
In the present embodiment, if the special zone right lottery (step S1411 in FIG. 20A) is won in the AT state, the blue 7 right is acquired. If any of the condition device numbers 2, 3 and 4 is internally elected with the blue 7 right acquired, the zone shifts to the special zone (step S1D11 in FIG. 26 (a)). On the other hand, if any of the condition device numbers 2, 3 and 4 is internally won while the blue 7 right is acquired, the aiming effect of prompting the stop operation for winning the re-game combination 6 is executed (FIG. 35 (a). ) Step S3409). Hereinafter, a specific description will be made with reference to FIG. 57.

Here, a case where the condition device number 2 is internally won with the blue 7 right acquired will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 57 (a), the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven 1 symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the Seven 1 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game combination 6 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that encourages this stop operation. FIG. 57B shows that as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect, the player won the replaying combination 6. Further, it is shown that the special zone entry effect suggesting the transition to the special zone is executed at this time (step S3411 in FIG. 35 (a)).

As described in the example of FIG. 52, when the condition device number 2 is internally won, the player wins the re-game combination 2 in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, and re-wins in the case of the right first stop. Win a prize in any of the game roles 1, 3 to 10. It should be noted that there are Seven 1 symbol, Seven 2 symbol, and BAR symbol as candidates for the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if it is possible to stop these symbols, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, not only the re-game combination 6 is awarded according to the aiming effect as shown in the route of FIG. 57 (b), but also the BAR symbol is aimed at without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 57 (c). It is also possible to win a prize in the replaying role 10. Further, in the route of FIG. 57 (d), it is shown that the player has won the re-game combination 1. In either case, after all the reels have stopped, the special zone entry effect suggesting the transition to the special zone is executed (step S3411 in FIG. 35 (a)).

Although the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won is described in FIG. 57, the same aiming effect is executed even when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won. If the condition device number 3 is internally won, the player wins the re-game combination 2 in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, and the re-game combination 1, 3-6, 11-13 in the case of the right first stop. , 16 to win a prize. In addition, if the condition device number 3 is internally won, the player wins the re-game combination 2 in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, and the re-game combination 1, 3-7, 9 in the case of the right first stop. , 14, or 15 to win a prize. Therefore, when the condition device numbers 3 and 4 are internally won, the re-game combination 6 can be won by performing the stop operation according to the aiming effect in the same manner as when the condition device number 2 is internally won. Even if the aiming effect is not followed, the game shifts to the specialized zone and the special zone entry effect is executed regardless of the winning combination. Therefore, for example, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, it is possible to aim at the Seven 2 symbol and win the re-game combination 16 without following the aiming effect.

[About aiming production in the specialized zone]
In the present embodiment, if the condition device numbers 2, 3 and 4 are internally won in the special zone, the number of remaining AT games is added (step S1423 in FIG. 20 (b), FIG. 21 (d)). On the other hand, if any of the condition device numbers 1 to 4 is internally won in the special zone, an aiming effect for urging a stop operation for winning a specific winning combination is executed (step S3425 in FIG. 35 (b)). Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the case where the condition device number 2 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. 58. In this case, as shown in FIG. 58 (a), the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the BAR symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 2 is internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the BAR symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game combination 10 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that encourages this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 58 (b), it is shown that the player won the replay combination 10 as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Here, the number of remaining AT games is increased by 10 games due to the internal winning of the condition device number 2 (FIG. 21 (d)), but in the route of FIG. 58 (b), this is performed together with the winning of the replaying combination 10. It is shown that a success effect indicating the added value is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36).

As described in the example of FIG. 52, when the condition device number 2 is internally won, the player wins the re-game combination 2 in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, and re-wins in the case of the right first stop. Win a prize in any of the game roles 1, 3 to 10. It should be noted that there are Seven 1 symbol, Seven 2 symbol, and BAR symbol as candidates for the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if it is possible to stop these symbols, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, not only the re-game combination 10 is awarded according to the aiming effect as shown in the route of FIG. 58 (b), but also the Seven 1 symbol is aimed at without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 58 (d). It is also possible to win a prize in the replay role 6. Further, in the route of FIG. 58 (c), it is shown that the player has won the re-game combination 1. In this embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the re-game combination 10 is won but also when the re-game combination 6 is won (step S3A17 in FIG. 36). In the route of FIG. 58 (d), it is shown that the success effect showing the additional value is executed together with the winning of the replaying combination 6 (step S3A17 of FIG. 36). Further, in the route of FIG. 58 (c), it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the re-game combination 1 is won (step S3A19 of FIG. 36).

Next, the case where the condition device number 3 is internally won will be described with reference to FIG. 59. In this case, as shown in FIG. 59 (a), the effect image display device 157 executes a target effect suggesting that the stop operation is performed aiming at the Seven 2 symbol in the order of right, middle, and left. Here, the condition device number 3 is internally won, and if the stop operation is appropriate, the Seven 2 symbol can be stopped on the winning line and the re-game combination 16 can be won. The aiming effect here is an effect that encourages this stop operation. In the route of FIG. 59 (b), it is shown that the player won the re-game combination 16 as a result of the stop operation according to this aiming effect. Here, the number of remaining AT games is increased by 30 games due to the internal winning of the condition device number 3 (FIG. 21 (d)), but in the route of FIG. 59 (b), this is performed together with the winning of the replaying combination 16. It is shown that a success effect indicating the added value is being executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36).

As described in the example of FIG. 53, when the condition device number 3 is internally won, the player wins the re-game combination 2 in the case of the left first stop or the middle first stop, and re-wins in the case of the right first stop. Win a prize in any of the game roles 1, 3 to 6, 11 to 13, and 16. It should be noted that there are Seven 1 symbol, Seven 2 symbol, and BAR symbol as candidates for the symbols constituting the winning combination, and if it is possible to stop these symbols, these symbols are preferentially stopped. With this configuration, not only the re-game combination 16 is awarded according to the aiming effect as shown in the route of FIG. 59 (b), but also the Seven 1 symbol is aimed at without following this, as shown in the route of FIG. 59 (d). It is also possible to win a prize in the replay role 6. Further, in the route of FIG. 59 (c), it is shown that the player has won the re-game combination 1. In this embodiment, the success effect is executed not only when the re-game combination 16 is won but also when the re-game combination 6 is won (step S3A17 in FIG. 36). However, in the case of winning the re-game combination 6, a value smaller than 30 (10 in this case), which is the number of additional games, is displayed. In the route of FIG. 59 (d), it is shown that the success effect showing the addition of 10 games is executed together with the winning of the replaying combination 6 (step S3A17 of FIG. 36). Further, in the route of FIG. 59 (c), it is shown that the failure effect is executed when the re-game combination 1 is won (step S3A19 of FIG. 36).

In addition, even if the condition device number 1 is internally won, the aiming effect (similar to FIG. 58) is executed, but neither the re-game combination 6 nor the re-game combination 10 is won, and the number of remaining AT games is added. Therefore, the failure effect is executed regardless of the stop mode (step S3A19 in FIG. 36).

Further, although the aiming effect when the condition device number 4 is internally won is not shown, the effect may be the same as that of FIG. 59, the effect of FIG. 54 may be diverted, or the replay combination may be used. You may execute an effect suggesting the first stop on the right while displaying 15 symbol combinations. When the condition device number 4 is internally won, a success effect indicating the number of additional games is executed when the re-game combination 15 is won (step S3A17 in FIG. 36), and when the re-game combination 6 is won, the number of additional games is 30. A success effect that displays a smaller value (10 in this case) is executed (step S3A17 in FIG. 36), and a failure effect is executed if a winning combination other than these is won (step S3A19 in FIG. 36).

In the above operation, the situation is such that the notification is not performed even though the addition is performed, but the portion that is not notified is displayed when the AT state is returned. The timing is not limited to the timing of returning to the AT state, but may be the (apparent) final game of the AT state, the final game of the special zone, the timing of winning a new additional lottery, and the like.

[Other configurations for aiming in the specialized zone]
As described in the examples of FIGS. 58 and 59, in the present embodiment, when a symbol (combination) different from the target symbol (combination) is won, the originally targeted symbol (combination) may be selected depending on the winning combination. By providing a case where the effect of granting a privilege is executed in the same manner as when the game is stopped, it is possible to acquire new playability such as intentionally stopping a symbol different from the targeted symbol. In this embodiment, the number of additional games is notified when the player wins the re-game combination 10 and when the player wins the re-game combination 6, but the target symbol (role) and a different symbol are used. The effect of winning the (role) is not limited to the one that notifies the number of additional games, but may be the effect of other benefits. These benefits are not limited to benefits that are advantageous to the player (shifting to an advantageous state, lengthening the period of the advantageous state that has already been set, etc.), such as the set value of the game console and the internal gaming state. It may be information about the game console, and moreover, for example, when the game console provides a user-specific environment, it may be image data or music data for customization, or it may be owned by the player. Information that is not related to the game, such as information such as images and music that can be downloaded from a mobile terminal or the like, may be a privilege. Further, these combinations may be used.

In the present embodiment, the distance between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is arranged beyond the maximum pull-in range, but the configuration is not limited to this, and for example, these symbols may be arranged adjacent to each other. However, if the distance between the BAR symbol and the Seven 1 symbol is within the maximum pull-in range, it may be difficult to clearly aim because the other may stop even though one is aimed. Therefore, when adopting a configuration in which a symbol (combination) different from the symbol (combination) aimed at by the stop timing is adopted, it is preferable to adopt the configuration as in the present embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, different configurations are adopted in which the re-game combination 1, the re-game combination 6, and the re-game combination 10 are won depending on the operation timing, but the operation for differently stopping the symbol or the combination is adopted. The conditions are not limited, and the configuration may be different, for example, by using an operation order. If the operation order is used to make the difference, another role will be aimed at by the operation order different from the suggested operation order.

In the example of FIG. 58, the same number of additional games is notified in both the case of winning the re-game combination 10 and the case of winning the re-game combination 6, but in the example of FIG. 59, the re-game combination 16 is notified. The number of additional games different between the case of winning a prize and the case of winning the re-game combination 6 is notified. In this way, the production when a prize is won for a symbol (role) different from the targeted symbol (role) may be the same as when the target symbol (role) is won, or differently. May be good. For example, when a symbol (combination) different from the targeted symbol (combination) is stopped, the set value or internal is displayed (or added) differently from the case where the targeted symbol (combination) is stopped. Information about the game, such as state, may be suggested. FIG. 60 shows an example in which an image suggesting a set value is displayed in addition to the notification of the number of additional games as a modification of the route of FIG. 58 (d). Further, a specific image may be displayed only when a symbol (combination) different from the targeted symbol (combination) is stopped. With these configurations, it is possible to give the player fun when not aiming at the design.

Further, as shown in FIG. 57, the replaying combination 6 is provided with an opportunity to separately perform an effect aiming at this. This configuration may give the impression that the replaying combination 6 is a special role. In particular, in the present embodiment, the frequency of the aiming effect of FIG. 57 is lower than the frequency of FIGS. 58 and 59 (the winning probability of FIG. 21 (c) is lower than the winning probability of the condition device number of FIG. 21 (d)). , Such an impression can be given more strongly. By giving this impression, it is possible to give the player the enjoyment of aiming at a symbol different from the symbol suggested in the case of FIGS. 58 and 59.

≪Others≫
In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the internal winning probability of the replaying combination does not change is used, but the configurations described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 60 and their modified examples can also be applied to a configuration provided with a so-called RT. be. Further, although the configuration in which the bonus combination is not provided is used in the present embodiment, the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 60 and the modified examples thereof can be applied to the configuration in which the bonus combination is provided. be. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 52 to 60, the configuration using the conditional device for winning the replay combination of the conditional device numbers 1 to 4 has been described, but the combination, the conditional device, the symbol combination, and the like to be used are limited to this configuration. It's not a thing.

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

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

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

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

In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the flags and variables related to the state B are initialized at the end of the state B (step S1E21 in FIG. 27). Such information is not limited to the variables used in the present embodiment, and may be configured to determine whether or not to execute automatic settlement and termination using various variables and flags. For example, as a condition for operating the automatic settlement function, when the number of continuous games in the AT state is 200 or more, the number of operation navigations in the AT state is 50 or more, and the acquisition difference from the start to the end of the AT state. When the number of sheets is more than a certain number, such a thing may be adopted. Further, the timing for determining these conditions is not limited to the configuration for determining at the end of the advantageous section such as state B, and the corresponding flag is set to on when the above conditions are satisfied, and the advantageous section is determined. It may be configured to execute automatic settlement and stop according to this flag at the end of. When the variables and flags described here are adopted, these variables and flags are initialized at the end of the state B.

Further, when the automatic settlement is executed, the signal may be output through the information output circuit 334. This signal may be configured to be output only when the automatic settlement function or the stop function is enabled. In this configuration, the player may be able to know that the automatic settlement function and the stop function are enabled. Further, regardless of whether it is valid or invalid, a signal may be output when the execution conditions (= limiter reached) of the automatic settlement function and the stop function are satisfied. In this configuration, it may be possible to know the number of times the player has reached the limiter.

Further, regarding the automatic settlement function, in addition to paying out the stored game medium (medal), the information provided for the stored game may be stored in an external recording medium (storage). Transfer of records of game media being played).

The state of the switch when the power is turned on is used to enable or disable the automatic settlement and stop functions. Therefore, for example, if the power is turned off immediately before the limiter is reached, the power is turned on again and the limiter is reached, the automatic settlement or the stop is executed according to the reset state.

In the present embodiment, as an example of the game table, a slot machine 100 using a medal (coin) as a game medium is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a game ball (for example, a pachinko ball) is used for playing a game. It can be applied to slot machines, pachinko machines, arrange ball game machines, rock game machines, smart balls, etc. as media.

The slot machine is a slot machine that operates on mobile terminals (smartphones, game machines) and personal computers by a program that simulates the operation based on the above configuration, and only exchanges electronic data without using medals. In this case, the game medium includes electronic data corresponding to a medal, and the game medium is input from a predetermined external device (electronic storage device). The payout of the game medium includes outputting the digitized data to a predetermined external device (electronic storage device).

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiment of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention. , Such modifications and alterations are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Further, the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the present invention merely list the most suitable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are described in the embodiments of the present invention. It is not limited to what has been done.
