A slot machine, which is a type of gaming machine, generally has a variable display unit having a reel on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer peripheral portion, and a start switch is set with a predetermined bet number set. When the reel starts to rotate by the operation of, and the stop switch is operated to stop the rotation of the reel, a predetermined symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter, symbol combination) is applied on the winning line. A prize is generated by deriving a combination of display results, or a combination).

There are various types of roles such as small roles, special roles, and replay roles. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small winning combination is derived on the winning line, the number of medals determined for each type of small winning combination is paid out. If the display result corresponding to the special role is derived on the winning line,
It is possible to shift the gaming state to a special gaming state that is advantageous for the player, such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. When the display result corresponding to the replay combination is derived on the winning line, the next game can be played without consuming a new medal for setting the bet number.

As such a slot machine, there is a machine that provides a plurality of types of notification modes such as changing the color of characters and the shape of decoration as notification modes when notifying the operation mode of the stop switch (for example, Patent Document 1). .. In this slot machine, the winning combination and the state transition are suggested by the above-mentioned notification mode.

(1) A variable display unit capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified by each is provided.
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after variable display of the variable display unit and a prize can be generated according to the display result.
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result, and
Predetermining means for determining the display result that allows derivation (for example, processing for executing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41),
A derivation control means (for example, a process of executing reel control by the main control unit 41) that controls to derive the display result, and
A navigation effect using a liquid crystal display 51 by a sub-control unit 91 is executed by a notification means (for example, navigation information) for notifying specific information (for example, navigation information) capable of specifying an operation mode (for example, push order) of the derivation operation means. Processing) and
In the derivation control means, when the determination result of the prior determination means is a specific determination result (for example, BAR uniform lip winning or BAR tempai lip winning), the derivation operation means is the first operation mode (for example, right first). When the operation is performed in the second operation mode (for example, the first stop on the right), the first display result (for example, the symbol combination of the lip 1) is derived, and when the derivation operation means is operated in the second operation mode (for example, the first stop on the right), the second display result is derived. Derived the display result (for example, a combination of BAR matching rips and BAR tempai rips) (see, for example, FIG. 10).
The notification means is
The first operation mode is when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result when the special condition is not satisfied (for example, when not in the special zone or when the BAR aiming effect is not executed). The first notification (for example, the navigation effect (navigation of killing) that notifies other than the first stop on the right) is executed to notify the specific information that can be specified.
When the special condition is satisfied (for example, when the special zone is in the special zone, when the BAR aiming effect is executed), and the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result, the first. 2 The second notification (for example, the navigation effect for notifying the right first stop) for notifying the specific information capable of specifying the operation mode is executed, and the operation mode is executed.
Types of notification modes (for example, navigation background modes) of the specific information that can be selected by the notification means in the first notification (for example, precursor state or killing navigation in CZ or AT) (for example, two types (blue background). , Green background)), rather than the types of notification modes of the specific information that can be selected by the notification means in the second notification (for example, navigation effect in the specialized zone) (for example, four types at the time of winning the BAR matching lip (for example). There are more (blue background, green background, red background, gold background) and three types (blue background, green background, red background) at the time of winning the BAR Tempai Lip (see, for example, FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d)).

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above

When a predetermined display result (for example, a symbol combination of the main character) is derived and the derived operation means is operated in an operation mode different from the predetermined operation mode (for example, an incorrect answer procedure), a non-predetermined display result (for example, a sub-role) Derived a certain AT role or a combination of special figures),
When the predetermined display result is derived, the game value given to the player is larger than when the non-predetermined display result is derived (for example, when the main character wins, the sub-role wins or special features. The number of payouts is larger than when the figure was derived),
The game value given to the player does not change between when the first display result is derived and when the second display result is derived (for example, when a BAR matching lip or a BAR tempai lip wins a prize). When Lip 1 wins a prize, it will be a replay),
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the predetermined determination result in an advantageous state, the notification means notifies the specific information that can specify the predetermined operation mode (for example, the main control unit 41 or the sub control). Bell navigation is executed by part 91),
In the advantageous state, the ratio at which the suggestion effect other than the notification of the specific information by the notification means (for example, the effect of the additional winning suggestion by the navigation background) is executed is determined by the predetermined determination result of the prior determination means. It is higher when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result than when there is a certain time (for example, the production of the additional winning suggestion by the navigation background is BAR.
It is executed when the matching lip or BAR tempai lip is won, whereas it is not executed when the push order bell is won).

(4) In any of the slot machines (1) to (3) above,

An embodiment for carrying out the slot machine according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

[Slot machine configuration]
FIG. 1A is a front view of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a diagram showing an example of a main internal configuration of the slot machine 1. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a pattern arrangement of reels.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 is provided with a liquid crystal display 51 on the front door 1b. A bonus lamp 60 is provided above the liquid crystal display 51 on the front door 1b. The bonus lamp 60 is a lamp that notifies that a special state is in progress. Special states include bonuses such as RB (regular bonus), BB (big bonus), SB (single bonus), and CB (challenge bonus), in which the probability of winning a small role is higher than in the non-special state. In the present embodiment, the bonus lamp 60 is turned on when the bonus is in progress and turned off when the bonus is not in progress.

A see-through window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51 in the front door 1b. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R arranged side by side inside the housing 1a through the see-through window 3. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of types of symbols, each of which can be identified, are arranged in a predetermined order on each reel.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the front door 1b has a medal insertion unit 4 into which a game medium (medal) is inserted, and a game state within the range of the stored game value (credit). The MAXBET switch 6 operated when setting a predetermined number of bets, the start switch 7 operated when starting a game, and the stop switch 8L operated when stopping the rotation of the reels, respectively. , 8C, 8R, and a production switch 56 used for production are provided.

The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for notifying information about the game. The game auxiliary display 1 displays the number of medals to be paid out, an error code in the event of an error, or operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R on the game display unit 13.
2 and an advantageous section lamp 19 for notifying that the user is in an advantageous section, which will be described later, by turning on the lamp are provided. The operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R include the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated (operation procedure, push order) and the timing in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated (operation timing). included. In the present embodiment, as information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (navigation information described later), numbers and alphabets corresponding to the pressing order are displayed in 7 segments by the game auxiliary display 12. The advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on when it is in the advantageous section and turned off when it is not in the advantageous section.

When playing a game on the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or sets a predetermined number of bets by operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If a medal is inserted with the number of bets already set, that amount will be added as credit.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
When R rotates and the symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reels stops, and three symbols are derived as display results in the upper, middle, and lower stages of the perspective window 3. Is displayed. If a prize is generated by stopping the combination of the symbols of the winning combination on the winning line LN, a predetermined number of medals will be given to the player according to the winning and will be added to the credit, or the maximum number of credits will be given. When the number reaches, the medal is paid out from the medal payment exit 9.

The "game" in the slot machine 1 means, in a narrow sense, from the operation of the start switch 7 to the stop of all reels, but when playing a game, the bet number setting before the operation of the start switch 7 is performed. In addition, since medals are paid out and the game state is changed after all reels are stopped, these incidental processes are also included in the "game" in a broad sense.

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), inside the slot machine 1, a main control unit 41 for controlling the progress of the game, a sub control unit 91 for controlling the effect, and the like are provided. Main control unit 4

The sub control unit 91 includes a main CPU 91a that executes various processes, a RAM 91c that stores various data, and the like. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect according to the command transmitted from the main control unit 41.

The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, or the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. The main control unit 41 controls the 7-segment display of the game auxiliary display 12 included in the game display unit 13 and the lighting or extinguishing of the advantageous section lamp 19. The sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56. The sub control unit 91 controls the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting or extinguishing of the bonus lamp 60. Note that FIG. 1B is just an example, and other configurations are provided inside the slot machine 1.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate (ratio of the total number of medals used for setting the bet number to the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate changes by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery or the like. The set value consists of 6 levels from 1 to 6, for example, 6 has the highest payout rate and 5
The smaller the value in the order of 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the payout rate. That is, in terms of the payout rate, when 6 is set as the set value, it is most advantageous for the player, and 5, 4
The smaller the value in the order of 3, 2, and 1, the lower the advantage is.

[Winner]
The winning combination and the special drawing will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a small role. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a small role, a special role, and a special figure. 5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining the replaying combination. The names of the winning combination or the special figure are shown in the name column of FIGS. 3 to 6, and the symbol combination of the winning combination or the special figure is shown in the symbol combination column. In addition, the remarks column shows the operations (medal payout, re-game grant, game state transition, etc.) performed at the time of winning.

Winning roles include special roles, small roles, and replay roles. Special roles are roles that involve the transition to bonuses. A small role is a role that accompanies the granting of medals. A replay role is a role that accompanies the granting of a replay. Replaying means making it possible to start the next game without consuming the game value (for example, credits).

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the small winning combinations include AT01 to AT16 and bell 1.
, 2, and 1-card combination 1-8 are included. Bells 1 and 2 are collectively referred to as bells, AT01 to A.
T16 is collectively referred to as an AT role, and 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as a 1-sheet role. The special winning combination includes bonus 1 and bonus 2. The special figures include special figures 1 and 2. The special figure is a missed eye that can be derived when the leading role and the sub-role are missed in the game in which the push order bell, which will be described later, is won.

If you win the bonus, it will be controlled by the bonus until the end condition is satisfied. The termination conditions include that a predetermined number of medals have been paid out during the bonus, that a predetermined number of games have been played during the bonus, and that a predetermined number of prizes have been won during the bonus. In the present embodiment, the end condition of the bonus 1 is satisfied when more than 324 medals are paid out during the bonus 1. Further, when more than 27 medals are paid out during the bonus 2, the end condition of the bonus 2 is satisfied.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the replaying combination among the winning combinations includes rips 1 to 21. As shown in FIG. 6, rips 9 to 16 are symbol combinations in which 7 is displayed in two upper and lower stages on any reel, and are also referred to as 7 rips. Further, the rip 15 is a symbol combination in which three BAR symbols are displayed together on the winning line LN, and is also referred to as a BAR-matched rip. Further, the lip 16 is a symbol combination in which two BAR symbols are displayed together on the winning line LN, and is also referred to as a BAR tempai lip. In addition, the replay role is also collectively referred to as a replay.

[Game state]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. The gaming state includes a state in which the winning probability of the replay in the internal lottery is determined, and such a state is also referred to as an RT state. In addition, the game state includes the inside that can be transferred by winning the bonus and the bonus that can be transferred by winning the bonus. In the present embodiment, the RT state is RT0 to R.
T4 is provided.

RT0 and RT1 are the states having the lowest replay winning probability among all the gaming states. RT3 and RT4 are the states having the highest probability of winning the replay among all the gaming states. RT2 has a higher probability of winning a replay than RT0 and RT1, but RT3 and RT4
The probability of winning the replay is lower than that. Also, only at RT0, the special lip will be the target of the lottery. Therefore, compared to other RTs, it can be said that there is a high probability that a special lip will be won at RT0. The probability that a special lip will be won at RT0 is, for example, 1/5. If you win a special lip during CZ, you will be granted the right to AT.

RT0 is controlled after the bonus (bonus 1 or bonus 2) ends. R
When the special figure is displayed at T0, the game state shifts to RT1. RT2 at RT1
When the transition lip (lip 3) is displayed, the game state shifts to RT2. RT at RT2
3 When the transition lip (lip 5) is displayed, the game state shifts to RT3. On the other hand, when the special figure or the RT1 transition lip (lip 4) is displayed in RT2, the game state shifts to RT1. When the RT4 transition lip (rip 8) is displayed in RT3, the game state shifts to RT4. On the other hand, when the special figure or the RT1 transition lip (lip 4) is displayed in RT3, the game state shifts to RT1. When the special figure or the RT1 transition lip (lip 4) is displayed in RT4, the game state shifts to RT1.

In any RT state, if the bonus is not won in the game that won the bonus, the bonus winning is carried over and the game state shifts to the inside, and when the game that wins the bonus wins the bonus, the playing state is changed. Move to a bonus. If you win a bonus inside, the game status will shift to the bonus.

[Lottery target role]
8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining the lottery target combination. The lottery target combination is a combination that is the target of the internal lottery executed by the slot machine 1. The internal lottery is a process executed by the main control unit 41 to determine a symbol combination that allows derivation. If the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery, the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination is won.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, bonus 1 and bonus 2 are selected for the special role lottery target combination.
Is included. Common bells, left correct answer bells 1 to 4, middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, and small role lottery target roles
And right correct answer bells 1 to 4 are included. These small wins are subject to internal lottery in any RT state and can be won.

The lottery target roles for the re-game role are advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, middle cherry, advantageous lip, strong cherry, weak cherry, special lip, 7 lip 1-5, BAR matching lip, BAR tempai lip, normal lip 1 ~. 3. Preparation rips 1 to 6, rush rips 1 to 5, RT1 fall rips 1 to 3, ascending rips 1 to 3, and RT3 fall lips 1 to 3 are included. These re-gaming combinations include a combination that is a lottery target and a combination that is not a lottery target, depending on the type of RT state. For example, special rips are subject to lottery only at RT0 and can be won, but other RTs.
In the state, it is not subject to lottery.

The left correct answer bells 1 to 4, the middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, and the right correct answer bells 1 to 4 are also referred to as push order bells because the winning combination differs depending on the push order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. In addition, preparation rips 1 to 6, rush rips 1 to 5, RT1 fall rips 1 to 3, ascending rips 1 to 3, R
T3 fall rips 1 to 3, 7 rips 1 to 5, BAR matching rips, and BAR tempai rips are also referred to as push order rips because the winning combination differs depending on the push order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Further, these push order bells and push order rips are also collectively referred to as push order roles. Further, as will be described later, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, and middle tier cherries are collectively referred to as advantageous cherries because they are won in advantageous sections or bonuses at the time of winning. On the other hand, strong cherries and weak cherries are available at the time of winning.
Since neither the advantageous section nor the bonus is won, these are collectively referred to as the non-advantageous cherry role. Further, the advantageous cherry role and the non-advantageous cherry role are collectively referred to simply as the cherry role.

A combination number is assigned to each of the above-mentioned lottery target combinations. In FIG. 8, the winning combinations with the largest assigned winning combination numbers are arranged in order from the top. In the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning combination has been won in order from the lottery target combination having the largest combination number. For example, in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 acquires a random number from an integer within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). Each lottery target combination is assigned a number of determination values according to the RT state in advance from among integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535).

For example, bonus 1 is 100 from 65435 to 65535 in any RT state.
The number of judgment values is assigned. Further, the bonus 1 is assigned the same number of determination values regardless of which setting value is set (no setting difference). On the other hand, in the bonus 2, when the set setting value is the same, the allocation of the judgment value number is the same in all RT states, but the determination value number is assigned according to the set setting value. Is different (there is a setting difference). Specifically, when the set value is 1, the allocation of the number of judgment values is the smallest,
As the set value increases, the allocation of the number of determination values increases, and when the set value is 6, the allocation of the number of determination values is the largest.

The main control unit 41 adds the number of determination values to the acquired random numbers in order from the lottery target combination having the largest combination number, and when the addition result overflows (exceeds 65535), the addition target at that point. The winning combination is decided as the winning combination.

As shown in FIG. 9, each of the above-mentioned lottery target combinations includes a combination in which a plurality of winning combinations are duplicated and are subject to lottery. For example, in the push order bell, the bell, the AT combination, and the one-card combination are duplicated in the lottery target, and if they are won, all of these combinations are won. As for other lottery target roles, predetermined roles are duplicated and are subject to lottery. Further, in the BAR matching lip and the BAR tempai lip, the lip 1 is included as a lottery target combination common to each other.

[Reel control when the push order is won]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning a push order combination. In the push order shown in FIG. 10, the left first stop is the push order in which the left reel 2L is stopped first, and the middle first stop is the push order in which the middle reel 2C is stopped first. The right first stop is a push order in which the right reel 2R is stopped first.

As shown in FIG. 10, each push order combination is a stop switch 8L at the time of winning.
Different wins will be won depending on the order of pushing 8C and 8R. Specifically, the push order corresponding to each of the correct answer procedure and the incorrect answer procedure is predetermined for each push order combination. Then, when the push order combination is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the player has a higher degree of advantage than when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the incorrect answer procedure, or the player. A role that suggests a high degree of advantage for the player wins a prize. The correct answer procedure is not limited to the push order, but may be an operation timing, or may be a combination of the push order and the operation timing.

For example, when the left correct answer bells 1 to 4 are won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at the left first stop, the 9-card payout bell 1 wins, and when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated at a time other than the left first stop. The AT role of paying out one piece will win a prize, or a special figure will be displayed. When the push order bell is won, the bell that wins according to the push order is called the leading role, and the AT role is also called the sub role. In this way, when the push order bell is won, the leading role wins when the stop switch is operated by the correct answer procedure, and the secondary role wins or misses the winning when the stop switch is operated by the incorrect answer procedure. When the stop switch is operated by the correct answer procedure, the number of medals given to the player is larger than that when the stop switch is operated by the incorrect answer procedure. On the other hand, when the push order rip is won, the replay wins and the replay is given both when the stop switch is operated by the correct answer procedure and when it is operated by the incorrect answer procedure. In terms of payouts, the advantages are the same for both. As shown in FIG. 10, for other push order combinations, the push order is predetermined so that different combinations win prizes.

If you win the BAR alignment rip, the rip 15 (BAR alignment rip) will win when the stop switch is operated at the first right stop, while the rip 1 will be won when the stop switch is operated at other than the first right stop. Will win a prize. If you win the BAR Tempai Lip, Lip 16 (BAR Tempai Lip) will win when the stop switch is operated at the first stop on the right, while Lip 1 will win when the stop switch is operated at a stop other than the first stop on the right. do. Thus, B
When the AR alignment lip or the BAR tempai lip is won, the BAR symbols are lined up when the stop switch is operated at the first stop on the right, reminding the player of some event such as granting a privilege. On the other hand, when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won, when the stop switch is operated other than the first right stop, the player simply recognizes that the lip 1 has won and the replay has won.

[Navigation]
The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a function of notifying navigation information corresponding to an operation mode (for example, the above-mentioned correct answer procedure) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player. The function for such notification is called navigation. The navigation includes a navigation performed by the main control unit 41 and a navigation performed by the sub control unit 91.

As shown in the navigation notification column of FIG. 8, when navigation is performed by the main control unit 41, numbers and alphabets corresponding to the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are displayed as navigation information on the game auxiliary display. 7 segments are displayed on 12. The notification of navigation information performed by the navigation of the main control unit 41 is also referred to as navigation notification. Here, in the navigation notification column of FIG. 8, 1F is the left first stop, 2F is the middle first stop, 3F is the right first stop, 12 is the left middle right, 13 is the left and right middle, 21 is the middle left and right, and 23. Indicates middle right left, 31 indicates right middle left, and 32 indicates right middle left. For roles for which navigation notification is not performed, it is indicated as off in the navigation notification column.

When navigation is performed by the sub control unit 91, the stop switch 8L is used as navigation information.
, 8C, 8R, the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The notification of navigation information performed by the navigation of the sub control unit 91 is also referred to as a navigation effect.

In the navigation effect, a plurality of types of navigation modes are provided. The navigation mode is a kind of notification mode (appearance, etc.) of navigation information, and in the present embodiment, the color of the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is selected from a plurality of types. Further, in the navigation effect, a plurality of types of navigation backgrounds are provided. The navigation background is a kind of notification mode (how to see, etc.) of navigation information, and in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of background colors of the entire screen when a numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed. Selected from.

In the game in which the push order bell is won, a navigation effect called a so-called small fish navigation is executed. In this navigation effect, for example, objects corresponding to each of the left, middle, and right (for example,
The image of the enemy character) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with the numerical image showing the pressing order, and the effect of disappearing one by one each time the stop switch is operated by the player is executed. Then, when the stop switch is operated in the order of pressing indicated by the navigation system, a special background image and background color are used to appeal that the protagonist has won a prize (hereinafter, also referred to as a bell prize-winning effect). Is executed. For example, in the bell winning effect, an image that appeals that the enemy character has been defeated is displayed, or the background color becomes yellow to remind us of the bell winning. In this way, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the bell winning effect using a dedicated background is executed so as to appeal that the leading role has won, so that the bell winning effect is not hindered as described above. The effect of changing the navigation background is not executed. On the other hand, since it is difficult to hinder the bell winning effect, the above-mentioned effect of changing the navigation mode is executed in the game in which the push order bell is won.

In the game in which the push order lip is won, the bell winning effect is not executed, so that the effect that changes the navigation background described above is executed. For example, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won, an effect of changing the navigation background is executed. In addition, the navigation that notifies the push order other than the right first stop when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won is also a navigation that prevents the BAR symbols from lining up, so it is also called a killing navigation.

In this way, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the effect of changing the navigation mode is executed, but the effect of changing the navigation background is not executed, whereas the BAR matching lip and the BAR tempai lip are won. In the game, an effect of changing the navigation background is executed.

As shown in the transmission navigation column of FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of specifying the navigation information to be the navigation notification to the sub control unit 91 according to the winning lottery target combination. For example, when the left correct answer bell is won, the main control unit 41 displays the 1st floor on the game auxiliary display 12 as a navigation notification, and subordinates the type 7 as a command capable of specifying the 1st floor (that is, the left first stop). It is transmitted to the control unit 91. Upon receiving the type 7 command, the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display a numerical image (for example, an image of 123) corresponding to the left first stop. As described above, in the navigation effect on the liquid crystal display 51, the navigation mode changes when the color of the numerical image changes, or the navigation background changes when the background color changes. However, in the navigation notification on the game auxiliary display 12, only numbers and alphabets are displayed, and the colors and the like do not change.

Here, the main control unit 41 transmits a type 0 command whose operation mode cannot be specified to the sub control unit 91 when the navigation notification is not performed. Even if the sub-control unit 91 receives the command of type 0, the operation mode cannot be specified, so basically the navigation effect is not executed. However, the sub-control unit 91 may execute the navigation effect even when the command of the type 0 is received only when the 7-rip is won. That is, when the 7 rip is won, the main control unit 41 does not perform the navigation notification, while the sub control unit 91 can execute the navigation effect.

[Game section]
The main control unit 41 controls a plurality of types of game sections as a concept of a state different from the game state (RT state). The game section includes a normal section, a waiting section, and an advantageous section.

The normal section is a section in which navigation information cannot be notified. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be notified, and is a section having performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player of the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In the advantageous section, the navigation that generates the prize (in the present embodiment, the bell that is the main character) that obtains the maximum number of payouts is executed at least once. Specifically, when the push order bell is won, a navigation system for notifying the correct answer procedure is executed. The advantageous section is a section (state) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal section in that the navigation in which the prize is generated to obtain the maximum number of payouts is executed at least once.

After the setting is changed, it is controlled to the normal section and shifts to the advantageous section based on winning the transition to the advantageous section. The transition to the advantageous section will be won when certain conditions are met. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section when the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section. As shown in the column of advantageous section transition in FIG. 8, the advantageous section transition role is
Includes Bonus 1, Advantageous Strong Cherry, Advantageous Weak Cherry, Middle Cherry, and Advantageous Lip. In the normal section, if these roles are won by internal lottery, the transition to the advantageous section is 10
Determine 0%. Further, if these advantageous section transition combinations are won in the advantageous section (AT or specialized zone described later in the case of this embodiment), the AT controlled by the AT can be extended.
The addition is confirmed. In addition, the advantageous section transition combination that is won in the advantageous section is also referred to as a winning combination.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous section includes a precursor state, CZ1, CZ2, AT, and a specialized zone. In addition, CZ1 and CZ2 are generically also referred to simply as CZ. In the present embodiment, if the transition to the advantageous section is won, the advantageous section distribution lottery will be used.
The types of advantageous sections are only the precursor state, CZ1 transition after the precursor state, and C after the precursor state.
It is decided to be one of the Z2 transitions.

Advantageous cherry roles such as advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, and middle cherry are won alone, but may also be won at the same time as bonus 1. Therefore, when the advantageous cherry combination is won and the cherry symbol is derived, the player can expect to win the bonus 1. Furthermore, the advantageous cherry role is also an advantageous section transition role. In the present embodiment, when the advantageous cherry role is won, the advantageous section lamp 1 in the winning game
The lighting of 9 suggests control of the advantageous section. On the other hand, since the non-advantageous cherry role such as strong cherry or weak cherry does not win the advantageous section or the bonus, the advantageous section lamp 19 does not light in the game in which the non-advantageous cherry role is won, and the control of the advantageous section is not suggested. ..

In the present embodiment, when the advantageous cherry combination or the non-advantageous cherry combination is won, the continuous effect is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 20 games). In the continuous production, for example, a production image in which a ally character and an enemy character engage in a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the battle is settled in the final game of the continuous production. If the advantageous cherry role is won, it is controlled to the precursory state for the time being, so that the continuous production is executed in the precursory state.

If you have won the bonus along with the advantageous section when you win the advantageous cherry role, or if you have not won the bonus when you win the advantageous cherry role but it is decided to control to CZ after the precursory state, the ally character in the continuous production battle The WIN image that wins is the liquid crystal display 5
It is displayed in 1 and the player is notified that the bonus is won or controlled by CZ. On the other hand, if the bonus is not won when the advantageous cherry role is won and it is not decided to control the CZ after the precursory state, the ally character will be defeated in the continuous production battle.
By displaying the OSE image on the liquid crystal display 51, the player is notified that there is no bonus winning and that the advantageous section ends. In addition, even if the non-advantageous cherry role is won, since the bonus is not won and the advantageous section is not won, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a LOSE image in which the ally character is defeated in the continuous production battle. Is displayed on.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the advantageous cherry combination or the non-advantageous cherry combination is won, the cherry pattern is displayed, and the bonus is controlled by the continuous production, and the CZ or AT You can expect control. When the advantageous cherry combination and the bonus are won at the same time, the game state is controlled internally after that, and the control period in the internal and the execution period of the continuous production match. As a modification, the control period in the inside and the execution period of the continuous effect do not match, for example, the continuous effect may end before the control period in the inside ends.

In the precursory state, the navigation information for winning the leading role at the time of winning the push order bell is performed at least once, which suggests that the advantageous section is being controlled. In the result of continuous production, when the advantageous section ends as it is and shifts to the normal section, then the advantageous section lamp 1
9 goes out, and when the advantageous section continues, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.

In the normal section, when the bonus is won, the control to the advantageous section is waited until the bonus is won. In the waiting section, when the bonus is won, it is controlled to the advantageous section.

If it is controlled to the advantageous section, it shifts to the normal section based on the condition that the predetermined end condition is satisfied. The predetermined end condition includes a condition that is satisfied when the numerical value updated during the advantageous section reaches a specified value regardless of the type of the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 counts the number of digestion games (also referred to as the number of advantageous sections G) in the advantageous section. When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games (hereinafter, also referred to as a limiter), the main control unit 41 initializes all the data related to the advantageous section and ends the running advantageous section to shift to the normal section. In this case, for example, when the advantageous section being executed is CZ, CZ ends even if the number of CZ games still remains. Further, for example, when the advantageous section being executed is AT, AT ends even if the number of AT games still remains.

When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the game state may be controlled to the initial RT state after the setting change while shifting from the advantageous section to the normal section. For example, if the initial RT state after the setting change is RT1, the gaming state may be controlled by RT1 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games.

Further, the predetermined end condition includes a condition that can be satisfied before the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games and is satisfied when the right to control the advantageous section is lost.
The right to control the advantageous section includes the number of precursor games for controlling the precursor state, CZ.
There are the number of CZ games to control, the number of AT games to control to AT, the number of specialized zone games to control to specialized zones, and the like. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 has the remaining number of games (the number of advantageous remaining G) for controlling in an advantageous section such as the number of precursor games, the number of CZ games, the number of AT games, and the number of specialized zone games. When it reaches 0, it shifts to the normal section by ending the running advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, it may be controlled internally during the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19. For example, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on and controlled inside. Further, in the period when the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit, if the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is controlled inside while being lit. Further, in the period in which the bonus is controlled internally by being independently elected, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on while being controlled internally. In these cases, the advantageous section lamp 19 is designed not to be turned off inside. The reason is that the inside is always winning the bonus, so the lottery situation is different from the non-inside inside, and in such different lottery situations, it is linked to the winning combination in the same way and it is an advantageous section. This is to avoid controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the lamp 19.

Further, considering that the continuous effect is executed inside, it can be said that the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect may overlap in the present embodiment. For example, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on and the continuous effect is executed. Further, in the period when the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit, if the advantageous cherry combination is won, the continuous effect is executed while the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit. Further, when the advantageous cherry combination is won during the period when the bonus is won alone or the continuous effect is executed by winning the non-cherry role, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on while the continuous effect is executed. Even in these cases, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off during the execution of the continuous effect.

That is, in the present embodiment, at least during the period when the continuous effect is executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light, and after the execution of the continuous effect is completed (when controlled by the bonus, the bonus is given after the continuous effect). After being controlled), the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. However, even during the period in which the continuous effect is being executed, when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games, the advantageous section lamp 19 is exceptionally turned off.

In the advantageous section, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed. AT for the lottery related to the instruction function
It includes a lottery to decide whether or not to control the special zone and a lottery to extend the control period to the AT. While controlled by the waiting section, the lottery related to the navigation and instruction functions is not performed.

However, even if it is controlled in the advantageous section, the bonus 2 that is not the advantageous section transition role
While winning and being controlled by bonus 2, the lottery related to the navigation and instruction functions will not be performed. Also, even if bonus 2 is won during CZ, the AT right is not granted. Therefore, even if the bonus 2 ends, it will not be controlled during the ART preparation, but will be controlled by the CZ again.

The precursor state and CZ are states in which the degree of advantage regarding control to AT is higher than that in the normal section. A high degree of advantage in controlling the AT is the right to control the AT.
It includes that the T game can be given, the probability of controlling the AT (the probability of winning in the lottery related to the instruction function) is higher than that of the normal section, and the AT game is given more than the normal section.

The precursory state is a state in which the period during which navigation can be executed is not guaranteed as compared with the CZ, AT, and the specialized zone, and the degree of advantage is the lowest in the advantageous section. The precursory state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is controlled by CZ or AT, or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. For example, in the precursory state, after the effect image by the continuous effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over a plurality of games, the advantageous section continues or becomes the normal section depending on the result of the battle in the final game of the continuous effect. You will be notified if you want to move.

CZ2 is in a state of having a higher degree of advantage than CZ1. For example, CZ2 is in a state in which the degree of advantage regarding control to AT is higher than that of CZ1. The high degree of advantage in controlling the AT includes that the probability of controlling the AT is higher than that of the CZ1 and that the AT game is given more than the CZ1.

AT is a precursory state and a state with a higher degree of advantage than CZ. For example, in AT, the precursory state and the period during which navigation can be executed are guaranteed longer than in CZ. or,
In AT, the number of times that navigation can be executed is guaranteed more than in the precursory state and CZ. In this way, since the AT is guaranteed to have a longer navigation execution period than the precursor state and CZ, for example, it is possible to increase the number of games in which the leading role is won when the push order bell is won, which is more advantageous than the precursor state and CZ. The degree is high.

The special zone can be migrated from AT only, and the period controlled by AT can be extended. As shown in FIG. 7, the state controlled by AT in RT3 is also referred to as ART. A
In the RT, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 executes a special zone lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the special zone as a lottery related to the instruction function. In the present embodiment, 7 rips are frequently won (for example, a winning probability of 1/2) during RT3. When 7 rips are won during ART, a special zone lottery is executed and the right to move to the special zone is granted with a predetermined probability (for example, 5%). When the right of the special zone is granted during ART, it is first controlled during the preparation of the special zone in RT3. During the preparation of the special zone, the user has the right to the special zone but is not yet controlled by the special zone (the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone has not started). During the special zone preparation, the system shifts from the special zone preparation to the special zone regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated according to the navigation information when the ascending rip is won. As a result, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone starts.

When shifting from the ART to the special zone, a start effect suggesting that the special zone is started is executed, and delay control (also referred to as freeze) is performed to delay the progress of the game over a delay period. For example, the sub-control unit 91 executes a start effect by displaying a character image, a character image, or the like suggesting that the special zone is started on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the main control unit 41 is MAX in the game in which the ascending / descending lip, which is the trigger for shifting to the special zone, is won, or in the next game of the game (the start game of the special zone).
It delays the activation of operations for operating means related to the progress of the game, such as the BET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switch. It should be noted that the start effect and freeze are in a common manner when the ART shifts to the specialized zone, regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated according to the navigation information notified when the ascending lip is won in RT3. Will be done.

Here, in the game in which 7 rips are won during ART, the navigation information notified by the navigation effect changes depending on whether the game is won in the special zone lottery or not in the special zone lottery. Specifically, when the special zone lottery is won, the main control unit 41 transmits a command including information to that effect to the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 10, in the game in which 7 rips are won during ART, when the special zone lottery is not won, the sub-control unit 91 displays the navigation information of the left first stop corresponding to the rip 1 by the navigation effect. When it is notified and it is recognized that the player has won the special zone lottery based on the command from the main control unit 41, the navigation information other than the left first stop corresponding to the 7 rips is notified by the navigation effect. As a result, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation and the 7 sets are displayed, it is possible to notify the player that the right of the special zone has been granted. Further, the sub control unit 9
1 won 7 rips because it notified the player that the right of the special zone was already granted during the preparation of the special zone or during the special zone after winning in the special zone lottery. In the game, the navigation information of the left first stop corresponding to the lip 1 is notified by the navigation effect.

During ART, when the push order bell is won, the net increase in the number of cards will increase due to the winning of the leading role, and it will be possible to avoid falling to RT1 due to the display of the special figure. It is also possible to be promoted to RT4 by winning the RT4 transition lip while avoiding the fall to RT1 due to the winning of the RT1 transition lip when the promotion lip is won. Furthermore, as mentioned above, RT3
Since the probability of winning the replay is high, it is less likely to be lost in the internal lottery than RT1 and RT2.

In the special zone, when the push order bell is won, the net increase in the number of cards will increase due to the winning of the leading role, and it will be possible to avoid falling to RT1 due to the display of special figures. Also, RT1
It is also possible to avoid a fall to RT1 due to a prize in the RT1 transition lip when the fall lip is won. Further, as described above, since RT4 has a high probability of winning a replay, it is less likely to be lost in an internal lottery than RT1 and RT2. In this way, ART
The state controlled by the AT such as the special zone and the special zone is more advantageous for the player than the RT1 and RT2 in that the net increase number can be increased without consuming medals.

In the AT and the special zone, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the advantageous cherry combination is won), an additional lottery of the AT that can extend the period controlled by the AT is executed. In the present embodiment, the probability of additional winning in the special zone is higher than the probability of additional winning in AT. In the special zone, when you win the BAR alignment lip or BAR tempai lip, the first stop on the right is notified as navigation information, and "Aim for BAR" etc. to stop the BAR alignment on the winning line LN etc. The BAR aiming effect that displays the character image of is executed. At this time, when the BAR symbols are stopped side by side by the operation of the stop switch by the player, it can be reminded that some privilege such as an additional winning is given to the player. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the navigation background changes depending on whether or not the additional winning is performed. Therefore, when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won in the special zone, the BAR aiming effect is executed and the navigation background is executed. By changing, it is possible to expect the player to have additional benefits such as winning due to the synergistic effect.

In addition, in this embodiment, the BAR matching lip and the BAR tempai lip do not serve as a trigger for the additional lottery, and at the time of winning these, the navigation background is changed depending on whether or not the additional winner has already been won. It is a thing, and it makes the player expect a privilege such as an additional winning. As a modification, a BAR matching lip or a BAR tempai lip may serve as a trigger for the additional lottery, and the navigation background may be changed depending on whether or not the additional lottery is won by these roles.

The state in which the right of AT is held in CZ but is not yet controlled by ART (the state in which the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of AT has not started) is referred to as ART preparation. During the preparation for ART in RT2, it is possible to be promoted to RT3 by winning the RT3 transition lip while avoiding the fall to RT1 due to the prize of the RT1 transition lip when the rush lip is won. When promoted to RT3, it is controlled by ART and the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of AT is started.

As shown in FIG. 8, the special lip can be won only at RT0. The special lip serves as a lottery trigger for the lottery related to the instruction function. For example, if a special lip is won in CZ during RT0, an AT game will be awarded with a 100% probability. When the AT game is given, it is controlled by the ART via the preparation for the ART. Therefore, the player is expected to win the special lip at RT0 after the end of the bonus before shifting to RT1 by the display of the special figure.

[Notification mode of navigation information]
With reference to FIG. 11, a mode of notifying navigation information in the navigation effect executed in the slot machine 1 will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining various tables relating to the notification mode of navigation information.

First, the navigation mode will be described with reference to FIG. 11A. FIG. 11A is a diagram for explaining a navigation mode determination table at the time of winning the push order bell. In the game in which the push order bell is won, the color of the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation mode. The sub-control unit 91 indicates that the push order bell has been won, the type of advantageous section under control, and the like.
And whether or not the additional winning is won is grasped based on the command from the main control unit 41. Then, when the push order bell is won, the sub-control unit 91 determines the white navigation (based on the navigation mode determination table shown in FIG. 11A) according to the type of the advantageous section under control and the presence or absence of the additional winning. The navigation mode is determined by either one of (navigation in which the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed in white) and yellow navigation (navigation in which the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed in yellow).

As shown in FIG. 11A, when the push order bell is won while being controlled by the precursor state or CZ, the type of navigation mode is one type of white navigation. If the push order bell is won while being controlled by the AT, there are two types of navigation modes: white navigation and yellow navigation. Furthermore, A
If the push order bell is won while being controlled by T, the navigation mode differs depending on whether or not there is an additional win. It is decided to be either white navigation or yellow navigation. If the push order bell is won while being controlled by the special zone, there are two types of navigation modes: white navigation and yellow navigation. Furthermore, if the push order bell is won while being controlled by the special zone, the navigation mode differs depending on whether or not there is an additional win. When it is done, it is decided to be yellow navigation.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the push order bell is won, the types of navigation modes that can be selected differ depending on the type of the advantageous section under control and the presence or absence of the additional winning.

Next, the navigation background will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 (b) to 11 (d). FIG. 11 (b)
Is a diagram for explaining the navigation when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai is won. As shown in FIG. 11B, the sub-control unit 91 is a BAR aligned lip or a BAR.
When the tempai is won, it is determined whether to notify the right first stop by the navigation or to notify other than the right first stop (killing navigation) according to the type of the advantageous section under control. For example, when it is controlled by a precursor state, CZ, or AT, the navigation notifies other than the first stop on the right. On the other hand, when controlled by the special zone, the navigation notifies the first stop on the right.

FIG. 11C is a diagram for explaining a navigation background determination table at the time of winning a BAR-matched rip. In the game in which the BAR matching lip is won, the background color of the entire screen when the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation background. When the BAR matching lip is won, the sub-control unit 91 has a blue background (entire screen) according to the type of advantageous section under control and the presence or absence of additional winning based on the navigation background determination table shown in FIG. 11 (c). (Navigation where the background of the screen is displayed in blue), Green background (Navigation where the background of the entire screen is displayed in green)
, Red background (navigation where the background of the entire screen is displayed in red), and gold background (navigation where the background of the entire screen is displayed in gold) determines the navigation background.

As shown in FIG. 11 (c), when the BAR matching lip is won while being controlled by the precursor state or CZ, the type of the navigation background is one type of the blue background. B when controlled by AT
If you win the AR matching lip, there are two types of navigation background, blue background and green background. Furthermore, if the BAR matching lip is won while being controlled by the AT, the navigation background will differ depending on whether or not there is an additional win. When present, it is determined to be either a blue background or a green background. If you win the BAR matching lip while controlled by the special zone, the type of navigation background is blue background,
There are four types: green background, red background, and gold background. Furthermore, if you win the BAR matching lip while being controlled by the special zone, the navigation mode will differ depending on whether or not you have won the additional prize. When it is, it is decided to be one of blue background, green background, red background, and gold background.

FIG. 11D is a diagram for explaining a navigation background determination table at the time of winning the BAR Tempairip. In the game in which the BAR Tempi Lip is won, the background color of the entire screen when the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation background. When the BAR tempi lip is won, the sub-control unit 91 has a blue background, a green background, and a blue background, a green background, depending on the type of advantageous section under control and whether or not an additional winning is performed, based on the navigation background determination table shown in FIG. 11 (d). And determine the navigation background with one of the red backgrounds.

As shown in FIG. 11D, when the BAR aligned tempai lip is won while being controlled by the precursor state or CZ, the type of the navigation background is one type of the blue background. If the BAR Tempi Lip is won while controlled by the AT, there are two types of navigation backgrounds, a blue background and a green background. Furthermore, if the BAR Tempai Lip is won while being controlled by the AT, the navigation background will differ depending on whether or not there is an additional win. Sometimes it is decided to be either a blue background or a green background. If you win the BAR Tempi Lip while controlled by the special zone, there are three types of navigation backgrounds: blue background, green background, and red background. Furthermore, if you win the BAR Tempi Lip while controlled by the special zone, the navigation mode will differ depending on whether or not you have won the additional prize. When it is, it is determined to be one of a blue background, a green background, and a red background.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempi lip is won, the type of the navigation background that can be selected differs depending on the type of the advantageous section under control and the presence or absence of the additional winning.

[Various processing]
Various processes mainly executed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 24.

(Common start processing)
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a common start process. The main control unit 41 executes the common start process when the start switch 7 is operated with the bet number set.
As shown in FIG. 12, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the flag = ON during the advantageous section (S10). The advantageous section middle flag is data indicating that the advantageous section is in progress, and is set in the advantageous section winning process shown in FIG. 18 to be described later.

When the flag in the advantageous section is not ON (NO in S10), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the lottery type 1> 0 (S21). Lottery type 1 is an advantageous section transition role (bonus 1)
, Advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, middle cherry, advantageous lip) is a data area for storing winning information.

Specifically, as shown by the * marks in FIGS. 8 and 12, each lottery target combination is assigned a combination number that can identify the type of each combination. The winning combination number is an advantageous section transition combination, a combination in which the number of judgment values does not change according to the RT state (a combination in which the winning probability does not change), and a combination in which the number of judgment values changes according to the RT state (a combination in which the winning probability changes). Larger numbers are assigned in the order of. In addition, on the premise of this rule, large numbers are assigned in the order of special role, small role, and replaying role. In the present embodiment, the bonus 1 which is an advantageous section transition role and a special role, the advantageous strong cherry, the advantageous weak cherry, the middle stage cherry, the advantageous lip, and the advantageous section transition which are the advantageous section transition role and the replaying role. A combination number is assigned, such as bonus 2 which is not a combination and is a special role, and a push order bell which is a small combination whose number of judgment values does not change according to the RT state although it is not an advantageous section transition role.

If the winning combination number in the internal lottery is 50 or more assigned to the advantageous section transition combination, the main control unit 41 sets a bit for the lottery type 1. In this way, the main control unit 41 stores only the winning information of the advantageous section transition combination in the lottery type 1. Then, in the process of S21, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section transition combination has been won by determining whether or not the bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1.

As described above, the winning combination that triggers the bit to be set in the lottery type 1 is limited to the advantageous section transitioning combination. Therefore, the main control unit 41 can determine whether or not to shift to the advantageous section only by referring to the data included in the lottery type 1. This makes it possible to centrally manage the data area used when deciding whether or not to shift to the advantageous section.

When the lottery type 1> 0 (YES in S21), the main control unit 41 executes the advantageous section winning process (S22), and shifts to the process of S19. The processing at the time of winning the advantageous section will be described later with reference to FIG. When the lottery type 1> 0 is not set in the main control unit 41 (NO in S21)
, S19.

When the flag in the advantageous section = ON (YES in S10), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the advantageous section G number counter (S11). Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section G number counter ≧ 1500 (S12). When the advantageous section G number counter ≧ 1500 (YES in S12), the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section end flag = ON (YES in S12).
S13). The advantageous section end flag is data indicating the end of the advantageous section. Main control unit 4
1 determines whether or not the advantageous section G number counter ≥ 1500 (NO in S12) or after the processing of S13, whether or not the bonus is in progress (S14).

When the bonus is in progress (YES in S14), the main control unit 41 shifts to the process of S19. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not in the bonus (NO in S14), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is inside (S15). When the main control unit 41 is inside (YE in S15)
S), the process proceeds to S19.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not inside (NO in S15), the data indicating the main state is set to the next main state (S16). The main state is a state controlled by the main control unit 41, and is a state other than the gaming state (RT state). Specifically, the main state includes the normal section, the precursor state, CZ1, CZ2, in preparation for ART, ART,
Specialized Zones Preparing, and Specialized Zones Included. The main control unit 41 sets any of these states as the main state.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 has been won (S1).
7). When the main control unit 41 wins bonus 1 or bonus 2 (YE in S17)
S), the return destination setting process is executed (S18), and the process proceeds to S19. The return destination setting process will be described later with reference to FIG. When the main control unit 41 has not won the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 (NO in S17), the main control unit 41 shifts to the process of S19.

The main control unit 41 executes the start processing of each main state (S19). The start processing of each main state will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation process (S20). The navigation process will be described later with reference to FIG. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the common start process.

(Start processing of each main state)
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a start process of each main state. As shown in FIG. 13, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the return waiting information = 0 (S41).
The return waiting information is information such as a symbol combination that is set after the end of bonus 1 or bonus 2 and triggers the start of the next main state, and is set by the bonus start common process shown in FIG. 20 to be described later.

When the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), the main control unit 41 has a main state =
It is determined whether or not the special zone is being prepared (S42). When the main state = the special zone is not being prepared (NO in S42), the main control unit 41 shifts to the process of S44. On the other hand, when the main state = the special zone is being prepared (YES in S42), the main control unit 41 subtracts 1 from the advantageous remaining G number counter in the advantageous section under control (S43). For example, in the case of CZ, the advantageous remaining G number of CZ is subtracted by 1. In addition, when AT is in progress, AT's advantageous residual G
The number is subtracted by 1, and if it is in the special zone, the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted by 1.

As a modification, in the case where a precursor period of a predetermined number of games is provided before shifting to the special zone during AT, in addition to subtracting the advantageous remaining G number of AT, the special zone The number of advantageous remaining G in the precursory period before shifting to may be subtracted. That is, when configured in this way, even in the advantageous section, there is one type of the number of games subtracted by S43 like CZ (
The number of games that are subtracted by S43, such as AT, is 2 when it is the advantageous remaining G number of CZ).
It is possible to provide a case of the type (the number of advantageous remaining G of AT and the number of advantageous remaining G of the precursory period to the special zone).

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the return waiting information is not 0 (NO in S41) or, after the processing of S43, the lottery related to the instruction function is won (S44). For example, in the case of CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT has been won. Further, in the case of AT, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the special zone has been won.

When the main control unit 41 wins the lottery related to the instruction function (YES in S44), the main control unit 41 sets the next main state (S45). For example, when the AT right is granted during CZ, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state during AT preparation. When the right of the special zone is granted during AT, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state during the preparation of the special zone.
On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not win the lottery related to the instruction function (NO in S44).
, It is determined whether or not the advantageous remaining G number = 0 for the advantageous section under control (S46).

The main control unit 41 is in the case where the advantageous remaining G number = 0 for the advantageous section under control (S46).
YES), it is determined whether or not continuous production is in progress (S46a). In the present embodiment, since the internal control period and the continuous effect execution period coincide with each other, whether the main control unit 41 is performing the continuous effect by determining whether or not it is inside. It can be determined whether or not. When the continuous production is in progress (YES in S46a), the main control unit 41 executes the advantageous section extension process (S46b). The advantageous section extension process is a process of extending the advantageous section at least until the continuous production is completed. For example, the main control unit 41 adds a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) to the advantageous remaining G number in the advantageous section extension processing. As a modification, the main control unit 41 executes the advantageous section extension process when the advantageous residual G number is low, and stops the subtraction of the advantageous residual G number in the process (that is, the advantageous residual G of S43). It may be the one (skipping the subtraction of the G number counter). By executing such an advantageous section extension process, a situation in which the advantageous section ends and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off does not occur during the execution of the continuous effect.

On the other hand, when the continuous effect is not being performed (NO in S46a), the main control unit 41 executes the normal section return processing (S47). The processing at the time of returning to the normal section will be described later with reference to FIG.
On the other hand, the main control unit 41 is in the case where the advantageous remaining G number is not 0 for the advantageous section under control (S).
After the processing of NO), S45, S46b, or S47 at 46, the start processing of each main state is terminated.

(Navigation processing)
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the navigation process. As shown in FIG. 14, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the flag = ON during the advantageous section (S51). The main control unit 41 ends the navigation process when the flag in the advantageous section is not ON (NO in S51).

On the other hand, when the flag = ON in the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 (YES in S51),
It is determined whether or not the push order is won (S52). When the push order combination is not won (NO in S52), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process.

On the other hand, when the push order combination is won (YES in S52), the main control unit 41 performs navigation control (S53). Here, the main control unit 41 makes the navigation control different depending on the gaming state and the type of the advantageous section given at that time. Specifically, in the case of RT0 after the bonus, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information when the first push order bell is won when the CZ right is granted, and first when the AT right is granted. The navigation information is not notified when the push order bell is won, but the navigation information is notified when the subsequent push order bell is won.

By making the navigation control different in this way, the game characteristics are as follows. That is, as described above, the special lip that can be won only at RT0 after the bonus is a lottery trigger for the lottery related to the instruction function. If you win a special lip while you are entitled to CZ
Since the AT game is given with a 100% probability, the player expects to win the special lip at RT0 before shifting to RT1 by displaying the special figure. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the right of CZ is granted in RT0, the display of the special figure is avoided by notifying the navigation information at the time of winning the first push order bell, and the game state is changed to RT0 by that amount. To maintain with. As a result, when the CZ right is granted at RT0, the player can be expected to be granted the AT game by winning the special lip.

On the other hand, when the right of AT is granted at RT0, it is controlled by ART via RT2 which is preparing for ART. Therefore, if RT0, which has a low probability of winning a replay, is maintained for a long period of time, the consumption of medals will increase accordingly. Therefore, in the present embodiment, R
When the AT right is granted at T0, the special figure is displayed and the game state is transferred to RT2 by not notifying the navigation information at the time of winning the first push order bell. After that, the display of the special figure is avoided by notifying the navigation information when the push order bell is won. As a result, when the AT right is granted at RT0, A while suppressing the consumption of medals.
It can be controlled by RT.

Further, in the case of a gaming state other than RT0, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information when the first push order bell is won, regardless of whether the right of CZ or AT is granted.
As a result, it is possible to avoid displaying a special figure when the push order bell is won, and it is possible to suppress the consumption of medals.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the push order bell has been won (S54). When the push order bell is not won (NO in S54), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process. On the other hand, when the push order bell is won (YES in S54), the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF (S55). The advantageous section navigation waiting flag is a prize that allows the maximum number of payouts to be obtained during the advantageous section (in this embodiment, the leading bell).
This is data indicating whether or not the navigation in which is generated is executed at least once, and is shown in FIG. 18 described later.
It is set by the processing at the time of winning the advantageous section shown in. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process.

(Common third release process)
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a common third separation process. After the reels rotate, the main control unit 41 stops the final reel (third stop) by operating the stop switch, and when the operation of the stop switch is released, the main control unit 41 executes a common third release process. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus is in progress (S61).

When the bonus is in progress (YES in S61), the main control unit 41 shifts to the process of S67. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not in the bonus (NO in S61), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is inside (S62). When the main control unit 41 is inside (YE in S62)
S), the internal middle flag is set (S63), and the process proceeds to S67.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not inside (NO in S62), the flag in the advantageous section =
It is determined whether or not it is ON (S64). The main control unit 41 has an advantageous section flag = ON.
If not (NO in S64), the process proceeds to S67. On the other hand, when the flag in the advantageous section = ON (YES in S64), the main control unit 41 executes the display symbol determination process (S).
65). The display symbol determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 23.

After that, the main control unit 41 executes the return waiting determination process (S66). The return waiting determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 24. The main control unit 41 executes the third release process of each main state (S67). The third release process of each main state will be described later with reference to FIG. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the common third release process.

(Third release processing of each main state)
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the third release process of each main state. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the navigation ignore flag = ON (S71).
). The navigation ignore flag is data indicating that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R were not operated according to the navigation information even though the navigation information was notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41. It is set by the display symbol determination process shown in 23.

When the navigation ignore flag = ON (NO in S71), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state under control = ART preparation is in progress (S72). When the main state = ART preparation is in progress (YES in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the RT3 transition lip is displayed (S73). The main control unit 41 is displayed when the RT3 transition lip is displayed (S7).
3) YES), the process proceeds to S76. On the other hand, when the RT3 transition lip is not displayed (NO in S73), the main control unit 41 ends the third release process of each main state.

When the main state = ART preparation is not in progress (NO in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state under control = special zone preparation is in progress (S74). Main control unit 41
Determines whether or not the RT4 transition lip is displayed when the main state = the special zone is being prepared (YES in S74). When the RT4 transition lip is displayed (YES in S75), the main control unit 41 shifts to the process of S76. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 is RT.
4 When the transition lip is not displayed (NO in S75), the third release process of each main state is terminated.

On the other hand, when the navigation ignore flag = ON (YES in S71), the main control unit 41 is S.
Move to the process of 76. The main control unit 41 sets the main state next time (S76). For example, when the current main state is preparing for ART, the main control unit 41 sets the main state from the next game to ART. As a result, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of AT is started from the next game. Further, when the current main state is preparing for the special zone, the main control unit 41 sets the main state from the next game to the special zone. As a result, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is started from the next game.

(Game end processing)
FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the game end process. When the main control unit 41 ends one game, the game end process is executed. As shown in FIG. 17, first, the main control unit 4
1 executes the advantageous section end determination process (S81). The advantageous section end determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section end flag = ON (S8).
2). When the advantageous section end flag = ON (YES in S81), the main control unit 41 is
Clear all ball ejection works (S83). For example, the main control unit 41 clears the flag relating to the advantageous section. For example, the main control unit 41 has an advantageous section flag = OFF.
To. When the advantageous section end flag = ON is not set in the main control unit 41 (NO in S81),
Alternatively, after the processing of S83, it is determined whether or not the flag in the advantageous section = ON (S84).

When the flag in the advantageous section = ON (YES in S84), the main control unit 41 performs a lighting process of the advantageous section lamp 19 (S85). On the other hand, when the flag in the advantageous section = ON is not ON (NO in S84), the main control unit 41 performs the extinguishing process of the advantageous section lamp 19 (S86).
.. The main control unit 41 ends the game end process after the process of S85 or S86.

(Processing when winning an advantageous section)
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the processing at the time of winning the advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 18, first, the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section navigation flag = ON and the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON (S101).

Next, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section distribution lottery (S102). In this process, the main control unit 41 shifts to CZ1 only in the precursory state, shifts to CZ1 after the precursory state, and C after the precursory state.
One of the Z2 transitions will be decided by lottery. After that, the main control unit 41 draws a lottery for the number of games (S103). In this process, the main control unit 41 determines by lottery the number of games that have the right to control the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102 (S103).

Next, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state to the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102 (S104). As a result, from the next game, it is controlled to the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the processing at the time of winning the advantageous section.

(Return destination setting process)
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a return destination setting process. As shown in FIG. 19, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus 2 has been won (S121).

When the bonus 2 is won (YES in S121), the main control unit 41 sets the return destination main state to the main state (S126), and ends the return destination setting process. The return destination main state is the main state at RT0 after the end of the bonus. That is, the main control unit 41 sets the main state after the end of the bonus 2 to be the same as the current state, regardless of the main state in the game in which the bonus 2 is won. Unlike the bonus 1 described later, even if the bonus 2 is won, the AT right is not granted when the bonus 2 is won.

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state is a normal section or a precursor state when the bonus 2 is not won (NO in S121), that is, when the bonus 1 is won. (S122).

The main control unit 41 is in the case where the main state is a normal section or a precursor state (Y in S122).
ES), the return destination main state is set to CZ1 (S123), and the return destination setting process is terminated.
That is, when the main state in the game in which the bonus 1 is won is a normal section or a precursor state, the main control unit 41 grants the right of CZ1 when the bonus 1 is won, and changes the main state after the bonus 1 to CZ1. Set.

On the other hand, in the main control unit 41, when the main state is not a normal section or a precursor state (S12).
2), it is determined whether or not the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S124). When the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (YES in S124), the main control unit 41 has a main state of CZ1 or CZ2.
The return destination main state is set during ART preparation (S125), and the return destination setting process is terminated. That is, when the main state in the game in which the bonus 1 is won is CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 grants the AT right when the bonus 1 is won, and sets the main state after the bonus 1 is completed during ART preparation. do.

On the other hand, when the main state is not CZ1 or CZ2 (NO in S124), that is, when the main state is ART preparation, ART, special zone preparation, or special zone, the return destination main The state is set to the main state (S126). That is, the main control unit 41 is preparing for ART in the main state of the game in which the bonus 1 is won, and the ART
, Specialized zone is being prepared, or if it is a specialized zone, the main state after the end of bonus 1 is set to the same as the current state. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the return destination setting process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state in the game in which the bonus is won. Then, during the bonus 1, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed according to the type of the set return destination main state.
For example, if a lottery trigger such as an advantageous weak cherry is won during the bonus, if the return destination main state is CZ1, it is decided by lottery whether or not to grant the right to control the AT, and the return destination main state. If is ART, it is decided by lottery whether or not to grant the right to control the special zone. In the lottery related to the instruction function, although the lottery is performed, 100% of the right to control the AT or the special zone may be granted and confirmed. Alternatively, 100% of the right to control the AT or the special zone may be granted by winning the lottery trigger without performing the lottery itself. On the other hand, during the bonus 2, the lottery related to the instruction function is not performed.

(Common process for starting bonus)
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining a bonus start common process. The main control unit 41 executes the bonus start common process after executing the common third release process in the bonus winning game. As shown in FIG. 20, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the return waiting information = 0 (S131). When the return waiting information = 0 in the main control unit 41 (
NO in S131), the bonus start common process ends.

On the other hand, when the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S131), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the next main state is ART (S132). The next main state at this time corresponds to the return destination main state set by the return destination setting process shown in FIG. For example, if the return destination main state = ART is being prepared or ART, the next main state = ART. If the return destination main state = special zone is being prepared or the special zone, the next main state = special zone. If the return destination main state = CZ1, the next main state = CZ1. When the next main state is ART (YES in S132), the main control unit 41 sets the return waiting information to RT3 transition rip display waiting (S133), and ends the bonus start common process.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 at the time of winning the bonus 1, the main control unit 41 sets the return destination main state after the end of the bonus 1 to ART.
Set during preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the AT during the bonus 1, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of the AT. Then, in RT0 after the end of bonus 1, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification at the time of winning the push order bell until the special figure is displayed, and the special figure is displayed and shifts to RT1 to win the rush lip. Sometimes navigation notification is performed. After that, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation to display the RT3 transition lip and the gaming state shifts to RT3, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the AT is started for the first time.

On the other hand, when the main state of the main control unit 41 is not ART next time (NO in S132), the main control unit 41
Next time, it is determined whether or not the main state is the special zone (S134). When the next main state is the special zone (YES in S134), the main control unit 41 sets the return waiting information to RT4.
Set to wait for the transition rip display (S135), and end the bonus start common process.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is preparing for the special zone at the time of winning the bonus 1 or the bonus 2, the main control unit 41 specializes the return destination main state after the end of the bonus 1 or the bonus 2. Set during zone preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the special zone during the bonus 1 or the bonus 2, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone. Then, in RT0 after the end of bonus 1 or bonus 2, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification at the time of winning the push order bell until the special figure is displayed, and the special figure is displayed and shifts to RT1 to rush. When you win the prize, you will be notified of the navigation. After that, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation to display the RT4 transition lip and the game state shifts to RT4, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is started for the first time.

When the next main state is not the special zone (NO in S134), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the next main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S136). When the next main state is not CZ1 or CZ2 (NO in S136), the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF (S140), and ends the bonus start common process.

On the other hand, the main control unit 41 is in the case where the next main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S13).
6 is YES), and it is determined whether or not the bonus 2 has been won (S137). If the bonus 2 has not been won (NO in S137), that is, if the bonus 1 has been won, the return waiting information is set to wait for the special map display (S139), and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set. (S140), bonus start The common process ends.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is the normal section or the precursor state at the time of winning the bonus 1, the main control unit 41 sets the return destination main state after the end of the bonus 1 to C.
Set to Z1. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the CZ1 during the bonus 1, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of the CZ1. Then, the main control unit 41 starts subtracting the advantageous remaining G number of CZ1 only when the special figure is displayed and the transition to RT1 occurs at RT0 after the end of bonus 1.

On the other hand, when the bonus 2 is won (YES in S137), the main control unit 41 sets the return waiting information to the end of the bonus 2 (S138), sets the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF (S140), and starts the bonus. End the common process.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit 41 sets the main state at the time of winning the bonus 2 as the return destination main state after the end of the bonus 2. If the main state is CZ1 when the bonus 2 is won, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus 2 is also set to CZ1 (the same applies to CZ2). In this case, at RT0 after the end of bonus 2, CZ
Subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of 1 or CZ2 is started immediately. Therefore, the return waiting information is set to the end of bonus 2, and when the bonus 2 ends and is controlled by CZ1 or CZ2, the return waiting information = 0 without waiting for the display of the special figure.

In addition, the setting of the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF will be described by taking Bonus 2 winning as an example. For example, when shifting from CZ to bonus, the state of CZ is maintained in the case of bonus 2 winning (shifting during ART preparation in the case of bonus 1 winning). In CZ,
Navigation information is notified by winning the push order bell, and the player receives the maximum number of payouts and sets the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF. If the player wins the bonus 2, the player will be paid out by the bonus 2. As a result, it is assumed that an advantageous state has occurred as in the case of winning the push order bell, and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set.

As a modification, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is used in the game in which the bonus is won.
The setting is not limited to the one set to OFF in S140 after the common third release process is executed, and may be set to OFF at any timing after this timing until the bonus ends. For example, it may be the timing when the payout is completed in the game in which the bonus prize is won, or the timing when the start switch 7 of the next game in which the bonus prize is won is operated. However, as long as the bonus is a role that is not missed, it may be the timing when the bonus is won. Also, if you move from CZ to Bonus 1,
You may return to CZ again.

In this way, in the return destination main state set in S122, S124, and S125 in FIG. 19, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number is started when the display result set as the return waiting information is derived after the end of the bonus. It is a state for shifting to the state of.

[Relationship between continuous production and lighting of advantageous section lamps]
With reference to FIG. 25, lighting of the advantageous section lamp when the execution period of the continuous effect and the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp overlap with each other will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a timing chart for explaining the relationship between the continuous effect and the lighting of the advantageous section lamp. As shown in FIG. 25, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line indicating whether or not the advantageous cherry is won, a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit, and a line indicating whether or not continuous production is executed are shown. Includes a line indicating whether or not the bonus is controlled.

First, a case where the continuous effect falls within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described with reference to FIG. 25 (a). As shown in FIG. 25A, when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry combination at the timing t1 (hereinafter, “timing” is omitted), the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 starts. The advantageous section is controlled according to the number of games given at the time of winning the advantageous section, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light for a period in which the advantageous section is controlled. For example, when an advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry role, if a precursor state of 20 games and a CZ of 30 games are given, it is controlled to the advantageous section for a total of 50 games, and the advantageous section is controlled during that time. Continues to light. In the following, such a predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is also referred to as a predetermined lighting period. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t5.

After the advantageous cherry role is won, continuous production is executed for a period of t1 to t2, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). At t2, the player is definitely notified that the CZ is controlled as the final result of the continuous effect.

After that, in t3, if the advantageous cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, it is controlled internally from the next game. Then, after the advantageous cherry combination is won, continuous production is executed over t3 to t4, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). During this time, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect overlap, but in this example, the execution period of the continuous effect falls within the predetermined lighting period. At t4, the player is notified that the bonus has been won as the final result of the continuous production, and then the bonus is controlled. The advantageous section lamp 19 is t5 on which a predetermined predetermined lighting period elapses.
Turns off with.

Next, a case where the continuous effect does not fall within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described with reference to FIG. 25 (b). As shown in FIG. 25B, when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry combination in t1, the advantageous section lamp 19 starts lighting. The advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit for a predetermined lighting period in which the advantageous section is controlled. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4.

After the advantageous cherry role is won, continuous production is executed for a period of t1 to t2, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). At t2, as the final result of the continuous production, the player is definitely notified that the control is controlled by, for example, CZ.

After that, in t3, if the advantageous cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, it is controlled internally from the next game. Then, after the advantageous cherry combination is won, continuous production is executed over t3 to t5, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). Here, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4, whereas the execution period of the continuous effect is t.
It is 3 to t5, and the execution period of the continuous effect does not fall within the predetermined lighting period.

Therefore, the advantageous section extension process shown in FIG. 13 is such that the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit at least during the period in which the continuous effect is being executed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 is extinguished after the execution of the continuous effect is completed. The advantageous section is extended to t6. As a result, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the bonus is controlled after the continuous production is completed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25 (c), a modified example of the case where the continuous effect does not fall within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described. As shown in FIG. 25 (c), when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry combination in t1, the advantageous section lamp 19 starts to light. The advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit for a predetermined lighting period in which the advantageous section is controlled. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4.

After the advantageous cherry role is won, continuous production is executed for a period of t1 to t2, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). At t2, as the final result of the continuous production, the player is definitely notified that the control is controlled by, for example, CZ.

After that, in t3, if the advantageous cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, it is controlled internally from the next game. Then, after the advantageous cherry role is won, continuous production is scheduled to be executed over t3 to t5, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). Here, the predetermined lighting period is a period of t1 to t4, whereas the execution period of the continuous effect is t3 to t5, and the execution period of the continuous effect does not fall within the predetermined lighting period.

Therefore, at least during the period in which the continuous effect is being executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit, and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the execution of the continuous effect is completed, based on the remaining period of the predetermined lighting period. The execution period of continuous production is shortened. As a result, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the bonus is controlled after the continuous production is completed. The content of the continuous effect when shortened may be a part of the effect when it is not shortened, or the content is the same as the effect when it is not shortened, but the time is shortened (for example, fast forward). ), Or it may be changed to a production with a content different from the production when it is not shortened (for example, the production is rich in content due to the short time).

In this way, at least during the period when the continuous effect is being executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light, and after the execution of the continuous effect is completed (when controlled by the bonus, after being controlled by the bonus after the continuous effect). The advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

It should be noted that the advantageous section is set in a predetermined period (for example, between 30 games) even after the number of AT games for controlling AT and the number of specialized zone games for controlling the specialized zone are all consumed. It may be continuous over. Such a period is also referred to as a pullback period. In this pullback period, for example, the display state of the liquid crystal display 51 displays the background image for the normal section as in the normal section, but since the advantageous section still continues, the advantageous section lamp 19 lights up. continue. In the withdrawal period, for example, A as a lottery related to the instruction function.
A T lottery is performed, and if the AT lottery is won, the number of AT games is given and the ART is controlled again.

During the pullback period as described above, a rare role such as an advantageous cherry role may be won. In this case, in the pull-back period after the end of ART, a continuous production triggered by the winning of the rare role is executed. That is, in the pullback period, the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap. In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap during the pullback period, the advantageous section lamp 19 is at least during the execution of the continuous effect. It is designed not to go out.

For example, if 20 games are continuously produced by winning a rare role when the pullback period is 2 games remaining, the advantageous section continues and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light even after 2 games have elapsed. Then, after the continuous production of 20 games is completed (when controlled by the bonus, after being controlled by the bonus after the continuous production), the advantageous section ends and the advantageous section lamp 19 is also turned off.

In this way, even in the pullback period at which the AT control is likely to be executed again, if the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap, the advantageous section is at least during the period in which the continuous effect is executed. The advantageous section lamp 19 may be turned off after the lamp 19 continues to be lit and the execution of the continuous effect is completed (when controlled by the bonus, after being controlled by the bonus after the continuous effect).

That is, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section lamp 1 is triggered by winning the advantageous section.
When the continuous effect is executed while 9 is lit and the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit (
For example, the same control is used between the example shown in FIGS. 26A to 26C) and the case where the continuous effect is executed while the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit during the pullback period when the advantageous section is about to end. Therefore, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light at least during the period when the continuous effect is being executed.
The advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the execution of the continuous effect is completed (when controlled by the bonus, after the continuous effect is controlled by the bonus).

[Timing chart when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during the bonus]
FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a timing chart for explaining a case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus. In FIG. 27, the number of advantageous sections G is 15 during the bonus.
It is a figure for demonstrating the result screen about the case which reached 00 game. First, Fig. 2
A case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the non-bonus will be described with reference to 6 (a) and FIG. 27 (a).

As shown in FIG. 26A, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line showing the type of the game section being controlled, a line showing the type of the background effect being executed, and a line showing whether or not the freeze is executed. And a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit.

Before t0, it is controlled to an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, the background effect for the advantageous section is executed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light. At t0, when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the advantageous section shifts to the normal section. Along with this, the background effect for the advantageous section is switched to the background effect for the normal section, and the advantageous section lamp 1
9 goes out.

In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out during the advantageous section. In the game in which the advantageous section is completed, the freeze is executed and the result of the game in the advantageous section is notified. For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), in the result notification, the liquid crystal display 5
The result screen is displayed in 1. The result screen includes a region 51a showing the characters of the result, a region 51b showing the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section, and a region 51c showing the number of digested games in the advantageous section as a template. Advantageous section G number is 1 during non-bonus
In the result screen when 500 games are reached, the area 51a, the area 51b, and the area 5 are displayed.
The image is displayed in all of 1c. For example, a character image of "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51a, a character image of "1700 sheets" is displayed in the area 51b, and "1" is displayed in the area 51c.
The character image of "500 games" is displayed.

Next, a case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 (b) and 27 (b).

As shown in FIG. 26B, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line showing the type of the game section being controlled, a line showing the type of the background effect being executed, and a line showing whether or not the bonus is controlled. A line indicating whether or not the freeze is executed, a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit, and a line indicating whether or not the bonus lamp 60 is lit are included.

Before t2, it is controlled to an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, the background effect for the advantageous section is executed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light. At t2, when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the advantageous section shifts to the normal section. Along with this, the background effect for the advantageous section is switched to the background effect for the normal section, and the advantageous section lamp 1
9 goes out. The operation of the background effect and the advantageous section lamp 19 in FIG. 26 (b) is the same as the operation of the background effect and the advantageous section lamp 19 in FIG. 26 (a) described above.

On the other hand, the freeze and result notification in FIG. 26 (b) operate differently from the freeze and result notification in FIG. 26 (a). This will be described below.

It is assumed that the bonus is won at t1 during the advantageous section, and the bonus is controlled until t3 thereafter. The bonus lamp 60 lights up from t1 to t3 during the bonus.

Here, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out during the advantageous section. Also, during the bonus, 325 medals were paid out, of which t after the advantageous section ended.
It is assumed that 174 medals are paid out in 2 to t3. In this case, the total value of medals paid out during the advantageous section and during the bonus is 1874. Further, it is assumed that the bonus is played over 20 games in t2 to t3.

In the example of FIG. 26 (b), unlike the example of FIG. 26 (a), the freeze and the result notification are not performed at t2 where the advantageous section ends, but are performed at t3 where the bonus ends. Specifically, in the game in which the bonus has ended, the freeze is executed, and the total value obtained by adding the number of medals paid out only during the bonus to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section is notified by the result notification. Be notified. Further, on the result screen when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the images are displayed in the areas 51a and 51b, while the areas 51c are displayed.
No image is displayed on. For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), the region 51a has "RE".
The character image of "SULT" is displayed, and the character image of "1874 sheets" is displayed in the area 51b. On the other hand, the area 51c is not used and no character image is displayed in the area. Thus, unlike the example of FIG. 26 (a), the number of digestion games (150) in the advantageous section.
The character image indicating 0G) is not displayed, and further, the character image indicating the total number of games (1520G) controlled either during the advantageous section or during the bonus is not displayed.

In this way, it is controlled by the bonus during the advantageous section, and the number of advantageous sections G is 1 during the bonus.
Depending on whether or not the game has reached 500 games, the result notification and freeze control are different. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus 1 is won has been described, but the same applies to the case where the bonus 2 is won.

[Timing chart when a bonus is won during ART]
Next, the case where the bonus is won during ART will be described with reference to FIG. 29. FIG. 29 shows AR
It is a figure which shows the timing chart for demonstrating the case where a bonus is won during T. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus 1 is won will be described.

FIG. 29A is a diagram showing a case where the bonus is won at t1 in the limiter arrival undetermined state (also referred to as the first situation) as the first state. FIG. 29B is a diagram showing a case where the bonus is won at t1 in the limiter arrival confirmed state (also referred to as the second situation) as the second state. (A) of FIG. 29 (A) and (c) of FIG. 29 (B) indicate a controlled state, and (a) of FIG. 29 (A) and (d) of FIG. 29 (B). ) Indicates an effect screen (a screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51).

Here, the limiter arrival undetermined state is a state in which it is not determined that the number of advantageous sections G reaches the limiter (1500 games). In the limiter arrival undetermined state, for example, the value of the advantageous section G number is 1000 games (1000 games are digested in the advantageous section), and it is confirmed that the limiter is controlled to the advantageous section over the remaining 200 games. It is a state. That is, at the time when the value of the advantageous section G number is 1000 games, it is confirmed that the advantageous section game is controlled over 1200 games, and the number of advantageous section games reaches the limiter (1500 games). It is in a state where it is not confirmed to do.

On the other hand, the limiter arrival confirmed state is a state in which it is confirmed that the number of advantageous sections G has reached the limiter (1500 games). For example, in the limiter arrival confirmed state, the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1000 games (1000 games are consumed in the advantageous section).
It is in a state where it is confirmed that the control will be performed in an advantageous section over the remaining 500 games. That is, in the limiter arrival confirmation state, when the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1000 games, it is confirmed that the limiter arrival is controlled over 1500 in the advantageous section game (it is confirmed that the limiter is reached). (In the state of being).

First, FIG. 29 (A) will be described. As shown in t1 and the like, the navigation effect is executed during ART. In addition, it is assumed that the bonus is won at t1 during ART. By winning the bonus, the game state shifts to the inside of the bonus. In addition, the navigation effect is not executed inside the bonus of this embodiment. If a bonus is won during the ART, this ART will be temporarily suspended.

Then, in the game started at t2 (bonus winning game), it is assumed that a combination of bonus symbols (bonus roll in FIG. 29) is derived based on the bonus winning.
t3 is the timing at which this bonus roll is derived.

At t3, a start freeze is executed. Freeze is a state in which the progress of the game is delayed. For example, a freeze is a state in which a game progress operation from a player is not accepted (or delayed). The start freeze is a freeze indicating that the bonus game is started. The start freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Along with the execution of this start freeze, the bonus start effect is executed. The bonus start effect is an effect indicating that the bonus game is started. In the example of FIG. 29, the characters "bonus start!" Are displayed.

The bonus game (bonus state) is started from t4 when the start freeze is completed.
During the bonus, an effect during the bonus (not shown) is executed to notify that the bonus is in progress. The bonus medium effect is, for example, an effect in which a character with a premier feeling is displayed.

Further, it is assumed that the additional winning combination is won at t5 during the bonus game. here,
It is assumed that the limiter has not been reached yet, although the additional winner was elected. Here, "limiter arrival undecided" is the number of games obtained by adding the number of AT games given by the additional winning and the value of the advantageous section G number counter at the time of the additional winning of the AT (hereinafter referred to as the AT additional winning). The number of hourly addition games) does not reach 1500. For example, when the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1100 games and the AT game of 200 games is added and won, the number of games added at the time of adding AT is 1300 games.
It does not reach 1500 games. Therefore, in this case, the limiter arrival is undecided.

On the other hand, the confirmation of reaching the limiter means that the number of games added at the time of winning the AT addition is 1500 or more. For example, when the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1450 games and 100 AT games are won, the number of additional games at the time of AT winning is 1550.
Since it is a game, it reaches 1500 games. Therefore, in this case, the limiter arrival is confirmed.

In addition, if the additional winner is won but the limiter arrival is undecided, the additional freeze is executed. The additional freeze is a freeze indicating that the number of AT games has been added. The additional freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Along with the execution of this additional freeze, the additional effect is executed. The additional effect is an effect indicating that the number of AT games has been added. In the example of FIG. 29, the characters "Add AT!" Are displayed.

After that, at t8, it is assumed that the bonus final game, which is the final game in the bonus, is started. t9 is the timing when this bonus final game is finished.

At t9, the end freeze is executed. The end freeze is a freeze indicating that the bonus game is ended. Further, the end freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). In addition, along with the execution of this end freeze, the bonus end effect is executed. The bonus end effect is an effect indicating that the bonus game is ended. In the example of FIG. 29,
It is a production that informs the number of medals given during the bonus. In the example of FIG. 29, "TOTA"
L325 sheets! Is a production in which the characters "" are displayed.

When the lever-on operation is executed at t10 when the ending freeze is completed, the interrupted AT game is restarted.

Next, FIG. 29 (B) showing that the limiter arrival is confirmed (second state) will be described.
In the limiter arrival confirmed state, the ending effect is executed. This ending production is
It is an effect showing that it is confirmed that the period of the advantageous section will reach the limiter. This makes it possible for the player to recognize that the period of the advantageous section is determined to reach the limiter.

Next, the start trigger (start condition) of the ending effect will be described. When the number of games in the advantageous section is not determined to reach the limiter (first state) and the additional lottery is executed, the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the limiter by the additional winning. It is assumed that the confirmed state (second state) has been reached. In this case, the ending effect is started in the additional winning game (a game in which the number of games in the advantageous section is confirmed to reach the limiter). Further, the ending effect may be started after a predetermined number of games have been exhausted from the additional winning game. The predetermined number of games may be a predetermined number of games, or may be a number of games determined by a random number lottery. FIG. 29 (B)
In the example of, the example in which the ending effect is started from t1 is shown, but the ending effect may be started from the timing before this t1.

Further, if another effect is executed during the execution of the ending effect, the other effect may be executed together with the ending effect. In the example of FIG. 29B, an example in which the navigation effect is executed as well as the ending effect is shown. In addition, this ending effect is continued until the number of advantageous section digestion games reaches the limiter. Further, the ending effect of the present embodiment is a winning run effect in which the screen on which the character is running is displayed.

Then, in the game started at t2 (bonus winning game), it is assumed that a combination of bonus symbols (bonus roll in FIG. 29) is derived based on the bonus winning.
t3 is the timing at which this bonus roll is derived.

Here, when the control to the bonus state is started during the limiter arrival confirmation state, the start freeze is not executed. In addition, the bonus start effect is not executed due to the non-execution of the start freeze. Then, the bonus game (bonus state) is started from the game (t4) next to the game from which the bonus result is derived.

Further, it is assumed that the additional lottery combination is won at t4 during the bonus game. Here, even if the additional lottery is executed by the additional lottery, the number of AT games is not added because the limiter has been confirmed. Since the number of AT games is not added, neither the additional freeze nor the additional effect is executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the additional lottery combination is won in the bonus controlled during the second state, the additional lottery is executed. With such a configuration, when the additional lottery combination is won, the additional lottery is executed regardless of whether it is in the first state or the second state.
Therefore, it is possible to standardize the processing for the additional lottery in the first state and the second state.

As a modification, even if the additional lottery combination is won in the bonus controlled during the second state, the additional lottery may not be executed. With the configuration of such a modification, it is possible to reduce the process of executing the additional lottery.

After that, at t5, it is assumed that the bonus final game, which is the final game in the bonus, is started. t6 is the timing when this bonus final game is finished. Here, at t6 when this bonus final game ends, the end freeze is not executed. In addition, the bonus end effect is not executed due to the non-execution of the end freeze. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus 1 is won has been described, but the same applies to the case where the bonus 2 is won. However, if Bonus 2 is won, the additional lottery will not be held.

In the present embodiment, the bonus state can be controlled in either the limiter arrival undetermined state (first state) or the limiter arrival confirmed state (second state). In addition, FIG. 29
As shown in (A), the start freeze can be executed when the control to the bonus state is started during the first state. By executing this start freeze, the player can clearly recognize that the control to the bonus state has started.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29B, when the control to the bonus state is started during the second state, this start freeze is not executed. The reason for this will be explained. In the second state, since the ending effect is being executed, the player recognizes that the limiter has been reached. In this way, if the start freeze is executed under the situation where the player recognizes that the limiter has been reached, the progress of the game will be unnecessarily delayed. It makes me feel annoyed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the case of the second state, the start freeze is not executed when the control to the bonus state is started. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed. In addition, since the start freeze is not executed, the progress of the game is not delayed, so that the bonus internal state can be smoothly transitioned to the bonus state.

[Timing chart when bonus 2 is won during CZ2]
In the slot machine described above, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF is set based on the fact that the bonus is controlled during the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON when controlled to the advantageous section.
(S13), the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF is set by winning the push order bell that is the target of navigation information notification in the advantageous section (S55), and based on the fact that it is controlled by bonus 2. Even if the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF (S140)
I did it. Then, when the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied, when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set, the advantageous section is terminated and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag =
When it is not set to OFF, the advantageous section is not terminated until the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF.

By doing so, the advantageous section can be terminated based on the establishment of advantageous conditions for the player, such as notification of navigation information by winning the push order bell and control to bonus 2. As a result, it is possible to appropriately manage the notification of navigation information in the advantageous section.

Hereinafter, the case where the bonus is won and the case where the bonus is not won during the advantageous section will be specifically described as an example.

As described above, the bonus in this embodiment includes bonus 1 and bonus 2.
Bonus 1 is the one that wins bonus 1 regardless of the set value (no setting difference)
Is. On the other hand, the bonus 2 is the one that wins the bonus 2 with a probability according to the set set value (with a setting difference).

Since the bonus 1 is an advantageous section transition combination, in the present embodiment, the AT right is granted by winning the bonus 1 in the CZ2. As a result, after the end of bonus 1, it will be transferred to ART. Further, in the bonus 1 where there is no setting difference, a lottery related to the navigation and the instruction function is performed.

On the other hand, since the bonus 2 is not an advantageous section transitioning combination, the AT right is not granted even if the bonus 2 is won during the CZ2. Therefore, after the end of bonus 2, CZ2 will be used again.
Will be controlled by. In addition, during the bonus 2 where there is a setting difference, the lottery related to the navigation and the instruction function is not performed.

As described above, CZ2 is in a state in which the degree of advantage regarding control to AT is higher than that in the normal section. In addition to this, if it is controlled again by CZ2 after the end of bonus 2, it will be R at the same time.
By being controlled to T0, the degree of advantage regarding control to AT is further increased.

Specifically, at RT0 after the end of bonus 2, the special lip will be the target of the lottery. The special lip is won with a high probability (for example, 1/5). It is controlled to bonus 2 during CZ, and when a special lip is won during CZ after bonus 2, the right of AT is granted. As a result, it will be controlled by ART after preparing for ART.

As described above, when the right of CZ2 is granted in RT0, the display of the special figure is avoided by notifying the navigation information at the time of winning the first push order bell, and the gaming state is maintained at RT0 by that amount. As a result, when the CZ2 is controlled to the bonus 2, there is a high possibility that the special lip will be won in the CZ2 after the bonus 2 ends. Thus, bonus 2
In CZ2 after the end of, there is a higher probability that the AT right will be granted by winning the special lip than in CZ2 before being controlled by bonus 2.

Here, the flow from being controlled by CZ2 to the end of CZ2 will be described as follows. First, if the advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, it is controlled to the advantageous section from the next game. When the control to the advantageous section is determined, the advantageous section distribution lottery determines, for example, the transition to CZ2 after the precursory state, and the game number lottery determines the number of CZ games. In addition, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = ON is set.

After being controlled by CZ2, when the number of CZ games is exhausted, the advantageous section ends when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by winning the push order bell. On the other hand, when the number of CZ games is exhausted, the advantageous section is not terminated when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is not set to OFF. In this case, after that, the advantageous section ends in the game in which the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by winning the push order bell.

Further, when the bonus 2 is won during the CZ2 and the bonus 2 is won, the CZ game number counter is stopped. That is, the number of CZ games is not counted while being controlled by the bonus 2. When the bonus 2 ends and is controlled by the CZ2 again, the CZ game count counter resumes counting. Then, the advantageous section continues until the number of CZ games is exhausted.

Hereinafter, a specific description will be made using a timing chart with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31. FIG. 30 is a diagram showing a timing chart for explaining a case where bonus 2 is not won during CZ2. First, with reference to FIG. 30A, a case where the bonus 2 is not won during CZ2 and the push order bell is won before all the number of CZ games of CZ2 is exhausted will be described.

As shown in FIG. 30A, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line indicating whether or not a winning combination has been won, a line indicating the setting (ON / OFF) of the advantageous section navigation waiting flag, and C
A line indicating whether or not it is in Z2, a line indicating whether or not it is in bonus 2, and ART
Includes a line indicating whether or not it is inside. Hereinafter, the same applies to the timing charts of FIGS. 30 (B) and 31.

Before t2, it is controlled to a normal section. If the advantageous section transition combination is won in t1, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section in the next game, t2. Along with this, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON is set, and the control is performed in a precursory state.

In this example, it is assumed that it is decided to shift to CZ2 after the precursory state in the advantageous section distribution lottery. Further, it is assumed that the number of CZ games is determined to be 20 by the game number lottery.

After a precursory effect over a predetermined number of games, the game shifts to CZ2 at t3. After shifting to CZ2, counting of the number of CZ games is started. If you win the push order bell at t4,
Advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF is set. And the count of the number of CZ games is 20
When the game is reached, the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In the example of FIG. 21 (A),
Since the push order bell was won during CZ2, 20 games were completed under the control of CZ2.
At 6, CZ2 ends. As a result, the advantageous section ends and the normal section is controlled.

Next, with reference to FIG. 30B, a case where the bonus 2 is not won during CZ2 and the push order bell is not won before all the CZ games of CZ2 are exhausted will be described.

As shown in FIG. 30B, before t2, it is controlled to a normal section. t1
In the next game, t2, when the winning combination for the advantageous section transition is won, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. Hereinafter, the description of the same parts as those in FIG. 30A will be omitted.

In the example of FIG. 30 (B), unlike FIG. 30 (A), after being controlled by CZ2, by the time when the count of the number of CZ games reaches 20 games and the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied.
It is assumed that the push order bell is not won. In this case, the control to CZ2 is continued. and,
It is assumed that the push order bell is won at t5 where the count of the number of CZ2 games is 28 games. By winning the push order bell, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set. Then, the control to CZ2 ends in the game in which the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF. As a result, the control to the advantageous section is completed, and the control is performed from the next game, t6, to the normal section.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a timing chart for explaining the case where the bonus 2 is won during the CZ2. First, with reference to FIG. 31 (A), a case where the bonus 2 is won during the CZ2 and the special lip is not won during the CZ2 after the end of the bonus 2 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 31 (A), before t2, it is controlled to a normal section. t1
In the next game, t2, when the winning combination for the advantageous section transition is won, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. Along with this, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON is set, and the control is performed in a precursory state.

In this example, it is assumed that it is decided to shift to CZ2 after the precursory state in the advantageous section distribution lottery. Further, it is assumed that the number of CZ games is determined to be 20 by the game number lottery.

After a precursory effect over a predetermined number of games, the game shifts to CZ2 at t3. After shifting to CZ2, counting of the number of CZ games is started. It is assumed that the bonus 2 is won at t4. Even if you win the bonus 2, the control to CZ2 will continue until it is controlled to the bonus 2 by winning.

It is assumed that the bonus 2 is won in the 8th game after being controlled by CZ2. At this time, after the stop operation of the final reel of the game that won the bonus 2, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set. Then, as the control to CZ2 ends in the game, the counter for the number of CZ2 games stops at 8. However, since the count of the number of CZ games, which is the end condition of CZ2, has not reached 20 games, it is controlled by CZ2 again after the end of bonus 2.

In t6, which is the next game after winning the bonus 2, the bonus 2 is controlled. After that, when the end condition of bonus 2 (more than 27 medals are paid out) is satisfied, bonus 2 ends. When the bonus 2 ends, it is controlled by CZ2 again at t7. At this time, C
Since the counter for the number of Z games (8 games) before being controlled by the bonus 2 is taken over, the number of CZ games starts from the 9th game at t7.

Further, the game state is controlled to RT0 by the end of the bonus 2. That is, FIG. 31 (
In the example of A), after the bonus 2 ends, it is controlled by CZ2 and RT0. As described above, by controlling to RT0, the special lip becomes the lottery target combination. The special lip is won with a high probability, and the AT right is granted by winning the special lip. This makes it more likely to be controlled by ART.

In this example, it is assumed that the special lip is not won until the count of the number of CZ games reaches 20 games. At t8, when the count of the number of CZ games reached 20 games,
The end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied. In the example of FIG. 31 (A), since the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is already set by the bonus 2 winning, CZ2 ends. With the end of CZ2, the advantageous section ends and the normal section is controlled.

If it is controlled in the normal section, the navigation information will not be notified when the push order bell is won.
Therefore, the special figure is likely to be displayed due to the incorrect answer procedure. Since the control to RT0 is terminated by the display of the special figure, the special lip will be excluded from the lottery target combination.

Next, when the bonus 2 is won during CZ2 with reference to FIG. 31 (B),
The case where the special lip is won in CZ2 after the end of bonus 2 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), before t2, it is controlled to a normal section. t1
In the next game, t2, when the winning combination for the advantageous section transition is won, the normal section shifts to the advantageous section. Hereinafter, the description of the same parts as those in FIG. 31 (A) will be omitted.

In the example of FIG. 31 (B), it is assumed that the bonus 2 is won during CZ2 and is controlled again by CZ2 and RT0 at t7 after the bonus 2 ends, as in the example of FIG. 31 (A).

Then, it is assumed that the special lip is won before t8 (16th game) before the end condition of CZ2 is satisfied (before the number of CZ games reaches 20 games). By winning the special lip, the right of AT will be granted. As a result, in the next game, t9, the control to CZ2 is completed and the ART is being prepared. Then, after preparing for ART, it is controlled by ART at t10.

As shown in FIG. 30A, when the number of CZ games is consumed during CZ2 (t6), when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by winning the push order bell (t4).
) Ends the advantageous section (t6)), and as shown in FIG. 30 (B), when the number of CZ games is consumed during CZ2 (t4), the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. If not, the advantageous section is not terminated (t4)), and as shown in t4 of FIG. 30 (A), the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by winning the push order bell that is the notification target of the navigation information. In addition, as shown in t6 of FIG. 31 (A), the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF even based on the fact that the bonus 2 is controlled. In this way, the advantageous section can be terminated based on the establishment of favorable conditions for the player, such as notification of navigation information by winning the push order bell and control to bonus 2. As a result, it is possible to appropriately manage the notification of navigation information in the advantageous section.

Since the bonus 2 is a combination with a setting difference, it is suggested that the more frequently the bonus 2 is controlled, the more advantageous the setting value is set for the advantageous person. This allows the player to pay attention to how much the bonus 2 is controlled.

When controlled by bonus 2 during CZ2, the advantage in the advantageous section does not become higher than before being controlled by bonus 2 by granting the right of AT. In this way, since the AT right is not granted in addition to the bonus 2 right, it is possible to prevent the player from being excessively advantageous to the player.

As shown in FIG. 31 (A), after the bonus 2 controlled during CZ2 ends (t7),
The advantageous section is continued until the number of CZ games is exhausted (t8). As a result, the player can be noticed during the period until the initially set end condition (digestion of the number of CZ games) is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), when the AT right is granted by winning a special lip in the advantageous section (t8), it is controlled by ART (t10), and as shown in FIG. 31 (B), the bonus 2 In the advantageous section (t7 to t9) after the end of, there is a higher probability that the AT right will be granted by winning the special lip than in the advantageous section (t3 to t6) before being controlled by the bonus 2. As a result, the player can be noticed in the period after the bonus 2 ends.

As described above, the slot machine according to the present embodiment is configured as follows.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, when the advantageous section transition combination is won and controlled to the advantageous section, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to ON, and as shown in FIG. 30A, C
When the number of CZ games is exhausted during Z2 (t6), when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by the push order bell winning (t4), the advantageous section is terminated (t6).
), As shown in FIG. 30 (B), when the number of CZ games is consumed during CZ2 (t4), the advantageous section is not terminated when the advantageous section navigation wait flag is not set to OFF (t4). As shown in t4 of FIG. 30 (A), in addition to setting the advantageous section navigation wait flag to OFF by winning the push order bell that is the notification target of the navigation information, t of FIG. 31 (A).
As shown in 6, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is O even based on the fact that it is controlled by bonus 2.
Set to FF.

Also, when controlled by bonus 2 during CZ2, AT rights are granted, etc.
The advantage in the advantageous section will not be higher than before being controlled by the bonus 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31 (A), after the bonus 2 controlled during CZ2 ends (t7), the advantageous section is continued until the number of CZ games is exhausted (t8).

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), when the AT right is granted by the special replay winning in the advantageous section (t8), it is controlled by ART (t10), and as shown in FIG. 31 (B), the bonus 2 In the advantageous section (t7 to t9) after the end of, there is a higher probability that the AT right will be granted by winning the special replay than in the advantageous section (t3 to t6) before being controlled by the bonus 2.

[Main effect]
Next, the main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.

(1-1) As shown in FIG. 11A, regarding the navigation mode of the bell navigation executed when the push order bell is won, there is only one type (white navigation) of the navigation mode in the precursor state and the CZ. There are two more types of navigation in AT and specialized zones (white navigation and yellow navigation). In this way, it is possible to make the game interesting by having a plurality of types of navigation modes. Furthermore, while reducing the types of navigation modes in advantageous sections such as precursor states and CZ that do not win additional prizes, increasing the types of navigation modes in advantageous sections that win additional prizes such as AT and specialized zones. In addition, by making the number of types of navigation mode different according to the type of advantageous section under control, the operation mode is compared with the case where the number of types of navigation mode is uniformly the same regardless of the advantageous section under control. It is possible to suppress the increase in data capacity as much as possible with respect to the notification of.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 11A, the navigation mode (white navigation) that can be selected in the precursor state or CZ is changed to the navigation mode (white navigation, yellow navigation) that can be selected in the AT or specialized zone. included. In this way, since the navigation mode (white navigation) that can be selected in common in the precursor state, CZ, AT, and specialized zone is provided, it is possible to suppress the increase in data capacity as much as possible with respect to the notification of the operation mode. can.

(1-3) In the present embodiment, in the AT or the special zone, the navigation mode is selected according to the presence or absence of the additional winning. Thereby, depending on the navigation mode when the bell navigation is executed, it is possible to make the player expect the additional winning by suggesting whether or not the additional winning is performed. For example, in the present embodiment, during AT, white navigation is selected with a 100% probability if no additional winning is made, and white navigation or yellow navigation is selected by lottery if additional winning is made. To. Therefore, when the yellow navigation is selected during AT, the player can be expected to win an additional prize than when the white navigation is selected. Further, in the special zone, if the additional winning is not performed, the white navigation is selected with a 100% probability, and if the additional winning is won, the yellow navigation is selected with a 100% probability. For this reason,
When the yellow navigation system is selected in the special zone, the player can be notified of the additional winning.

(1-4) In the present embodiment, in the navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51,
While the navigation mode changes, in the navigation notification on the game assist display 12, only numbers and alphabets are displayed, and the colors do not change. As a result, the game auxiliary display 12
In the navigation notification in, the navigation information does not become difficult to understand due to changes in the navigation mode.
If the player operates the stop switch according to the navigation notification, it is possible to avoid operating the stop switch in an operation procedure different from the navigation information as much as possible.

(2-1) In the present embodiment, a precursory state or C in which the BAR aiming effect cannot be executed.
If you win a BAR matching lip or a BAR tempai lip during Z or AT, the killing navigation that notifies you other than the first stop on the right is executed. On the other hand, if the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won in the special zone where the BAR aiming effect can be executed, the navigation that notifies the right first stop is executed together with the BAR aiming effect. And, there are at most two types of navigation backgrounds (blue background, green background) for killing navigation when you win a BAR matching lip or BAR tempai lip during a sign state or CZ where the BAR aiming effect cannot be executed, or during AT. Selected from. On the other hand, B
The navigation background when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won in the special zone where the AR aiming effect can be executed is selected from four types (blue background, green background, red background, and gold background). In this way, it is possible to make the game interesting by having a plurality of types of navigation backgrounds. Furthermore, while reducing the types of navigation backgrounds in advantageous sections where BAR aiming effects cannot be executed, increasing the types of navigation backgrounds in advantageous sections where BAR aiming effects can be executed, such as specialized zones. In addition, by making the number of types of navigation mode different according to the type of advantageous section under control, the operation mode is compared with the case where the number of types of navigation mode is uniformly the same regardless of the advantageous section under control. It is possible to suppress the increase in the data capacity as much as possible with respect to the notification of.

(2-2) In the present embodiment, the navigation background is selected in the special zone according to the presence or absence of additional winning. As a result, the player can be expected to win the additional prize by suggesting whether or not the additional winner is present, depending on the navigation background when the navigation is executed.
For example, in the present embodiment, in the special zone, the blue background is selected with a 100% probability if no additional winning is made, and if the additional winning is made, the blue background, green background, etc. are selected by lottery. The navigation background is selected from the red background and the gold background. Therefore, when a blue background, a green background, a red background, or a gold background is selected in the special zone, the player can be expected to win an additional prize than when the white background is selected. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the navigation background.

(2-3) In the present embodiment, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the additional winning suggestion effect that changes the navigation background is not executed, whereas the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won. In the game, an additional winning suggestion is performed that changes the navigation background. The reason is that, as mentioned above, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the bell winning effect using a dedicated background is executed so as to appeal that the leading role has won, so such an effect is navigated. This is because it is not hindered by changes in the background.
Furthermore, if the BAR matching lip or BAR tempai lip is won, no matter which push order the stop switch is operated, it will only be a replay for the benefit of the player, but if the push order bell is won. This is because the net increase in the number of medals cannot be increased unless the stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, so that such a dropout of medals is not hindered by the change in the navigation background. In this way, when an effect that appeals that the protagonist has won a prize is executed, or when the advantages / disadvantages change depending on the push order, the effect that changes the navigation background is not executed. , It is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible by not damaging the player's attention to the navigation.

(2-4) In the present embodiment, both when the BAR matching lip is won and when the BAR tempai lip is won, when the stop switch is operated other than the first right stop, they are common to each other. Lip 1 wins as a role to play. As a result, the symbol combination derived when the killing navigation is executed without executing the BAR aiming effect can be shared by a plurality of roles, so that the increase in the data capacity can be suppressed as much as possible.

(2-5) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there are three types (blue background, green background, red background) when the BAR tempai lip is won in the special zone. The background effect is selected from among the four types (blue background, green background, red background, and gold background), which are more than that when the BAR matching lip is won. In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type in which the background effect can be selected according to the winning combination. Further, as shown in FIG. 11D, when the BAR matching lip is won, the navigation mode is variously different depending on the winning combination by providing a gold background that cannot be selected when the BAR tempai lip is won. It can be made to improve the interest of the game. Moreover,
By making the navigation background a gold background, it is possible to make the player recognize that the BARs are aligned. In addition, if it is configured to be added and won on the condition that the BAR matching lip is won,
By making the navigation background a gold background, it is possible to expect the player to win the additional prize.

(2-6) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there is only one type (blue background) of the navigation background of the killing navigation executed in the precursor state or the CZ. Against
There are 3 types (blue background, green background, red background) or 4 types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background) of the navigation background that is executed together with the BAR aiming effect in the special zone. .. In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type in which the background effect can be selected according to the situation (state) in which the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won. In addition, FIGS. 11 (c), (
As shown in d), in the specialized zone where there is a possibility of additional winning, by providing more navigation backgrounds than the precursory state or CZ where additional winning is not possible, when the navigation background is other than the blue background, additional winning is won. It is also possible to expect a player to play against.

(2-7) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there is only one type (blue background) of the navigation background of the killing navigation executed in the precursor state or the CZ. Against
There are two more types of navigation backgrounds (blue background and green background) for the killing navigation executed in AT. In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type in which the background effect can be selected according to the situation (state) in which the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won. In addition, FIG. 11 (c)
As shown in (d), in ATs where there is a possibility of additional winning, by providing more navigation backgrounds than in the precursory state where additional winnings are not made or CZ, when the navigation background is other than the blue background, additional winnings are made. It is also possible to expect a player to play against.

(3-1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), when the advantageous section is won by winning the advantageous cherry combination at t1 and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on, it is advantageous thereafter. The lighting period of the section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect overlap, but t2
At t5 after the continuous production is completed, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. That is, when the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect overlap, the advantageous section lamp 19 does not go out during the period when the continuous effect is executed unless the bonus is won. Further, when the bonus is won by winning the advantageous cherry role at t3 during the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect overlap, but t4 Advantageous section lamp 19 at t5 after the continuous production is finished and controlled by the bonus
Turns off. That is, when the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous effect overlap, if the bonus is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 does not go out until the continuous effect ends together with the inside. As a result, since the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off at least until the continuous production is completed, the player's expectation that the lamp 19 will be controlled by the CZ or AT after the precursory state can be maintained as much as possible.

(3-2) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when the advantageous cherry role is won, the bonus is won together with the advantageous section. Therefore, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 starts to light and the continuous effect is executed. As a result, when the cherry symbol is derived by winning the advantageous cherry role, the player can be expected to control the CZ and AT, and can also expect the control to the bonus. In particular, in the present embodiment, the continuous effect is executed when the advantageous cherry combination is won, so that the player can be expected to control the CZ and AT and control the bonus.

(3-3) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit and the advantageous cherry combination is won at t3, the advantageous section lamp 19 is used. Continuous production is executed while lighting. In this way, the advantageous section ramp 19 is already
Even if the continuous effect is started during the period in which is lit, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off until the continuous effect is completed, so that the player's expectation can be maintained as much as possible.

(3-4) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the continuous effect does not fit within the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the continuous effect period is set. The advantageous section is extended and the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is extended. This will result in
Even if the continuous effect does not fit within the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the continuous effect is executed within the lighting period by extending the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 so that the continuous effect period fits. A period can be secured.

(3-5) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), when the continuous effect does not fit in the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is set. The period of continuous production is shortened so that it fits. As a result, even if the continuous effect does not fit in the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the continuous effect period is shortened so as to fall within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, so that the continuous effect is continued within the lighting period. The production can be ended.

(4-1) As shown in FIG. 20, when the next main state is the special zone, S135
Waiting for return information = RT4 transition rip display waiting is set. In this situation, AR
When the ascending / rolling lip is won in RT3 in T, the navigation information for winning the RT4 transition lip is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 24, when the RT4 transition lip is displayed according to the navigation information (
YES in S227), and the return waiting information = 0 (S230). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, when the RT1 transition rip is displayed instead of the RT4 transition rip by not following the navigation information (S).
NO) at 195, and return waiting information = 0 (S199). In this way, when the ascending / rolling lip is won during ART, the return waiting information = 0 regardless of whether the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, and the return is returned as shown in FIG. Waiting information =
When it becomes 0 (YES in S41), the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone starts (S43). On the other hand, when 7 rips are won in RT3 during ART, the navigation information for winning the rip 1 is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, but the stop switches 8L and 8C are notified according to the navigation information. , 8R is not operated, the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone does not start.

The flow of the game according to the above-mentioned processing will be described with reference to FIG. 28. FIG. 28 shows
It is a figure for demonstrating the flow of a game during preparation of a special zone. As shown in FIG. 28 (A), when 7 rips are won during ART (AT + RT3), a special zone lottery is performed. If you win the special zone lottery, the sub-control unit 91 will perform a navigation effect. At this time,
The navigation information prompting the first stop corresponding to the 7 rip is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 using the game auxiliary display 12 is not performed.

As shown in FIG. 28B, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, 7 rips are displayed. As a result, the player is notified that the special zone has been won. As shown in FIG. 28 (C), when the game shifts to the next game, it shifts to the special zone preparation while maintaining RT3.

Here, first, the case where the ascending lip is won in the game after the example shown in FIG. 28C will be described. As shown in FIG. 28 (D1), when the ascending / rolling lip is won, the sub control unit 91 performs the navigation effect and the main control unit 41 performs the navigation notification. In this example, the navigation information prompting the middle first stop is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the navigation information (2F) prompting the middle first stop is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 in seven segments.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D1), when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, as shown in FIG. 28 (E1a), the freeze is performed and the start effect is performed. In this example, a character image suggesting that the special zone is started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the advantageous residual G of the special zone is on the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51.
The number (remaining 30G in this example) is also displayed. Stop switch 8L, 8C according to navigation information
, 8R is operated, so that the game state is controlled to RT4 from the next game by the display of the RT4 transition lip as shown in FIG. 28 (F1a). On the liquid crystal display 51, a character image indicating that the special zone is in progress is displayed, and the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted (remaining 29 G in this example). That is, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone starts.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D1), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R do not follow the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (E1b), the stop switch 8 is according to the navigation information.
Similar to when L, 8C, 8R are operated, the freeze is performed and the start effect is performed. In this example, a character image suggesting that the special zone is started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, in the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51, the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone (
In this example, the remaining 30G) is also displayed. Stop switch 8L, 8C, without following the navigation information
Since 8R is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (F1b), the game state is controlled to RT1 from the next game by the display of the RT1 transition lip. On the liquid crystal display 51, a character image indicating that the special zone is in progress is displayed, and the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted (remaining 29 G in this example). That is, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone starts.

Next, a case where 7 rips are won in the game after the example shown in FIG. 28 (C) will be described. As shown in FIG. 28 (D2), when 7 rips are won, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect. At this time, the navigation information corresponding to the lip 1 prompting the left first stop is the liquid crystal display 51.
Is displayed in. In the example shown in FIG. 28 (A), the navigation information prompting the first stop in the middle corresponding to 7 rips was notified in order to suggest that the special zone was won, but in the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2). Since it is not necessary to display 7 rips meaninglessly because the special zone has already been won, the navigation information corresponding to the rip 1 prompting the left first stop is notified. On the other hand, the game auxiliary display 1
Navigation notification is not performed by the main control unit 41 using 2.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2), when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, as shown in FIG. 28 (E2a), the special zone is not frozen or started. Preparing is maintained. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 does not display the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone. As shown in FIG. 28 (F2a), even after the transition to the next game, the gaming state remains RT3 and the special zone preparation is maintained. in short,
Subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone does not start.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R do not follow the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (E2b), the stop switch 8 is according to the navigation information.
As with the operation of L, 8C, 8R, the special zone preparation is maintained without freeze or start effect. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 does not display the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone. As shown in FIG. 28 (F2b), even if the game shifts to the next game, the game state is R.
T3 is still maintained, and the special zone is being prepared. That is, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone does not start.

As in the above example, during the preparation of the special zone, when the ascending / rolling lip that is the target of the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 is won, the stop switches 8L and 8 are according to the navigation information.
Regardless of whether C and 8R are operated, the process shifts to the special zone and the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone starts. On the other hand, during the preparation of the special zone, when the 7 rips that are not the target of the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 are won, the stop switches 8L and 8C are according to the navigation information.
, 8R does not shift to the special zone regardless of whether it is operated, and the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone does not start.

Here, in order to start the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone in S43 of FIG. 13, it is a condition that the return waiting information = 0 and the main state = the special zone is not being prepared. In order for the return waiting information = 0, the return waiting information must be 0 in S199 of FIG. 23, but the condition must be NO in S191. However, since the navigation notification is not performed when the 7 rip is won, it is determined to be YES in S191. Therefore, when the 7 rip is won, the return waiting information = 0 does not occur. In addition, in order to not prepare the main state = special zone, it must be set to the special zone from the preparation of the special zone by the next main state setting in S76 of FIG. 16, but as a condition, the navigation ignore flag = ON. Must be. However, in order for the navigation ignore flag = ON in S198 of FIG. 23, the navigation must be NO in S191, and the navigation notification is not performed when the 7 rip is won, so that the determination is YES in S191. Therefore, when the 7 rip is won, the navigation ignore flag = ON is not set. In addition, in order that the main state = the special zone is not being prepared, it must be set to the special zone from the preparation of the special zone by the next main state setting in S76 of FIG. 16, as a condition of the RT3 transition lip or RT4. The migration lip should be displayed. However, when the 7th rip is won, neither the RT3 transition rip nor the RT4 transition rip is displayed, so the next main state = special zone will not be reached.

In this way, in a situation where the navigation information is notified by both the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, the game in the specialized zone regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed. Since the subtraction of the number starts, if the navigation information is notified by either the navigation notification or the navigation effect, by not following the navigation information, it is possible to avoid shifting to RT4, which is a specialized zone. However, by extending the period of transition from ART to the specialized zone, it is possible to prevent the player from trying to increase the net increase in the number of cards. On the other hand, in a situation where the navigation information is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, there is no possibility of avoiding the transition to the RT4 which is the specialized zone, so whether the navigation information was followed. By preventing the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone from starting regardless of whether or not it
It is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied as much as possible.

It should be noted that the next time the main state is not limited to the specialized zone. For example, when the next main state is ART, the return waiting information = RT3 transition lip display waiting is set in S133.
In such a situation, if you win the rush lip in RT2 which is preparing for ART,
The navigation information for winning the RT3 transition lip is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 24, when the RT3 transition lip is displayed according to the navigation information (YES in S225), the return waiting information = 0 (S2).
30). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, when the RT1 transition rip is displayed instead of the RT3 transition rip by not following the navigation information (NO in S193), the return waiting information = 0 (S199).
). In this way, when the rush lip is won during ART, the return waiting information = 0 regardless of whether the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, and as shown in FIG. 13, the return waiting information is set. When the information = 0 (YES in S41), the subtraction of the number of ART games starts (S43).

(4-2) When the ascending rip is won in RT3 during ART, if the navigation information is followed, the RT4 transition rip wins and the game state shifts to RT4, whereas the navigation information is obeyed. If not, the RT1 transition lip wins and the gaming state shifts to RT1. As a result, when the navigation information is notified by either the navigation notification or the navigation effect, the navigation information is not obeyed, so that the game state is shifted to RT1 by avoiding the transition to RT4 which is a specialized zone. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from attacking to increase the net increase number by extending the period of transition from ART to the special zone as much as possible.

(4-3) When the push order bell is won during ART in the situation where the return waiting information = waiting for the special figure display is set, the navigation information for winning the leading bell is the navigation by the main control unit 41. It is notified by the notification and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 23, when the bell is displayed according to the navigation information when the push order bell is won (
YES in S197), the process of S199 is skipped and the return waiting information = 0, and when the special figure is displayed without following the navigation information (NO in S197), the return waiting information = 0 (S19).
9). Further, as shown in FIG. 23, if rip 1 or rip 2 is displayed according to the navigation information when the RT1 fall rip is won (YES in S194), the processing of S199 is skipped and the return waiting information = 0. If the RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation information (S1)
NO) at 94, and return waiting information = 0 (S199). As shown in FIG. 13, when the return waiting information = 0 (NO in S41), the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone starts (S43).
In this way, the push order bell and RT1 that do not trigger the start of the specialized zone during ART
Stop switch 8L, 8 without following the navigation information even if you win the transition fall lip
Since the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone starts when C and 8R are operated, if the navigation information is notified by either the navigation notification or the navigation effect, the player is urged to follow the navigation information. Can be done.

(4-4) As shown in FIG. 10, when 7 rips are won, navigation information for winning rip 1 is notified when the special zone is not won, whereas the special zone is notified. When you are elected, you will be notified of the navigation information for winning 7 rips. Then, if 7 rips are won, the player is suggested to win the special zone. In this way, since the 7 rips are used to suggest the winning of the special zone, the 7 rips can be used to improve the interest of the game.

(4-5) During ART, regardless of whether the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R were operated according to the navigation information notified when the ascending / rolling lip was won, the special zone was changed from the preparation to the special zone. At the time of transition, the start effect is executed in a common manner. As a result, the player will not be dissatisfied because the start effect differs depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed.

(4-6) During ART, regardless of whether the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R were operated according to the navigation information notified when the ascending / rolling lip was won, the special zone was changed from the preparation to the special zone. When migrating, freezes occur in a common manner. As a result, the freeze does not differ depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed, which does not cause dissatisfaction to the player.

(4-7) When the ascending / rolling lip is won, whether the gaming state is promoted to RT4 or falls to RT1 changes according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. On the other hand, when 7 rips are won, the gaming state does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In this way, when the 7 rips in which the degree of advantage for the player does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are won, the navigation information is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, and further. It is possible to prevent the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone from starting regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed.

(5-1) As shown in FIG. 8, the weak cherry, which is a common display result, is obtained when the advantageous weak cherry which is the advantageous section transition role is won and when the weak cherry which is not the advantageous section transition role is won. Can be displayed. In RT1, both advantageous and weak cherries and weak cherries can be won, whereas in RT0, advantageous and weak cherries can be won, but weak cherries cannot be won. As a result, when the weak cherry is displayed at RT0, the winning of the advantageous weak cherry is confirmed and the transition to the advantageous section is confirmed, so that the interest of the game can be improved with respect to the transition to the advantageous section.

(5-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT0 which shifts after the end of the bonus, it continues until the special figure is displayed when the push order bell is won. As shown in FIG. 8, at RT0, a special lip that is not won at RT1 is won. Since the special rip is a lottery trigger for the lottery related to the instruction function, for example, if the special rip is won in the CZ during RT0, the AT right is granted with a 100% probability. As a result, in the RT0 that shifts after the end of the bonus, the player can pay attention to whether or not the RT0 can be continued without displaying the special figure.

(5-3) If the advantageous or weak cherry is won at RT0, the addition of AT is confirmed. Therefore, even if the RT0 is in the gaming state after the bonus has ended, it is possible to prevent the player from giving a disappointment to the end of the bonus as much as possible.

(5-4) In RT0 after the end of the bonus, it is initially controlled to the advantageous section by winning the bonus, but after that, when the advantageous section ends, it is controlled to the normal section. Even in this case, if the advantageous and weak cherry is won in the normal section, the transition to the advantageous section is confirmed, so it is necessary to prevent the player from giving the player a disappointment due to being controlled in the normal section as much as possible. Can be done.

(6-1) As shown in FIG. 18, in the advantageous section winning process, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON is set in S101, and then, as shown in FIG. 14, when the push order bell is won (6-1). YES) in S54, and the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF is set in S54. In this way, the processing when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag related to navigation shifts to the advantageous section is O.
When the push order bell that is set to N and is the target of the navigation wait is won, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF to indicate that the navigation has been performed, so that the management of navigation information notification is suitable. It can be carried out.

(6-2) As shown in FIG. 12, when either the advantageous weak cherry or the advantageous strong cherry, which is the advantageous section transition combination, is won, the bit of the lottery type 1 is flagged. Then, the presence or absence of the advantageous section transition winning is determined based on the flag set in the lottery type 1. Specifically, if any bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1, it is specified that the winning combination has been uniformly won, and it is further decided that the data will be uniformly transferred to the advantageous section. Will be done. In this way, the flag for storing the winning result in the internal lottery and the flag used for the advantageous section transition lottery are shared, and the advantageous section transition combination can be obtained only by referring to one data included in the lottery type 1. It is possible to decide whether or not the player has won the prize and whether or not to move to the advantageous section. Therefore, for example, in the case of individually specifying whether or not the internal lottery has been won by using the individually assigned winning numbers in the internal lottery, and further specifying whether or not the player has won the advantageous section transition lottery. In comparison, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of data, and it is possible to preferably manage the notification of navigation information.

(6-3) As an advantageous section that is more advantageous than the normal section, it is a precursor that suggests whether the advantageous section is controlled by CZ1 or CZ2 and continues as it is, or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ1 or CZ2. The state is provided. As a result, it is possible to suggest to the player whether the advantageous section continues or shifts to the normal section in a precursory state that is more advantageous than the normal section, so that the advantageous section continues for the player in the advantageous state. You can expect it.

(6-4) As shown in FIG. 18, in the advantageous section winning process, the flag in the advantageous section = ON is set in S101. In this way, by setting the flag in the advantageous section, it is possible to suitably manage whether or not the flag is in the advantageous section.

(6-5) As shown in FIG. 17, when the advantageous section middle flag is set (YES in S84) in the game end process, the advantageous section lamp 19 lights up in S85. As a result, if it is an advantageous section at the end of the game, the advantageous section lamp 19 can be surely turned on.

(7-1) As shown in FIG. 12, in the common start process, the number of advantageous sections G is 150.
When the game reaches 0 (YES in S12), the advantageous section end flag = ON is set in S13. Further, as shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, when the advantageous remaining G number reaches 0 (YES in S171), the advantageous section end flag = ON is set in S173. In this way, the timing of the end processing of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games is different from the timing of the end processing of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous remaining G reaches 0. It is possible to make the end processing of the above more reliable, and it is possible to preferably end the advantageous section.

(7-2) As shown in FIG. 12, in the common start process, the advantageous section end flag = ON is set in S13 regardless of whether or not the navigation information is notified. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, navigation is performed and the advantageous section navigation wait flag =
When it is OFF (YES in S172), the advantageous section end flag = ON in S173.
Is set to. In this way, in the advantageous section end determination process, even if the advantageous remaining G number reaches 0, the advantageous section end flag = ON is not set when navigation is not performed, so that the advantageous section is set without navigation. No terminating process is performed.

(7-3) As shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, whether or not the advantageous section end flag = ON is set by determining whether or not the advantageous remaining G number has reached 0 in S171. Is determined. Further, in this process, it is determined whether or not all the advantageous remaining G numbers such as the precursor state, CZ, AT, and special zone have reached 0, and whether or not the advantageous section end flag = ON is set. judge. As a result, the end processing can be distinguished from the end processing of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, so that the slot machine can be easily designed.

(7-4) In the game end processing of FIG. 17, regardless of whether the advantageous section end determination process = ON is set in either the common start process shown in FIG. 12 or the advantageous section end determination process shown in FIG. 22. When the advantageous section end determination process = ON is determined (YES in S82),
In S83, all the payout works are cleared, and the flag = OFF during the advantageous section is set. After that, as shown in FIG. 17, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off in S86. In this way, after all the ball ejection works are cleared and the flag in the advantageous section is set to OFF, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off, so that the advantage section lamp 19 is turned off to more reliably notify that the section is not an advantageous section. can do.

(7-5) The advantageous section end determination process shown in FIG. 22 is included in the normal section return time process shown in FIG. 21, and this normal section return time process is executed in any main state during the advantageous section. Will be done. As a result, in a plurality of main states, the processing related to the end of the advantageous section using the advantageous remaining G number can be shared, so that the processing load related to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(7-6) The common start process shown in FIG. 12 is executed in any main state during the advantageous section. As a result, in a plurality of main states, it is possible to standardize the processing related to the end of the advantageous section using the number of advantageous sections G, so that the processing load related to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(8-1) As shown in FIG. 19, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state at the time of winning the bonus. Then, during the bonus, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed according to the return destination main state. In this way, when the bonus is won, the lottery during the bonus can be set, and the lottery process during the bonus can be suitably executed. As a result, the processing when the bonus is won can be preferably executed.

(8-2) As shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is the normal section or the precursor state, the return destination main state is set to CZ1, and when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2, the return destination main state is set during ART preparation. Will be done. In this way, even if the main states when the bonus is won are different, the common return destination main state is set, so that the processing load related to the setting of the return destination main state can be reduced.

(9-1) As shown in FIG. 20, in the bonus start common process, the return waiting information is set according to the next main state. The return waiting information is information on the symbol combination that triggers the start of the state set in the main state next time. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the return waiting information is not 0 (NO in S41), the processing of S43 is skipped and the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted. In this way, after the bonus ends, as long as the return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set, the advantageous remaining G number in the next main state will not be subtracted.
It is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being lowered as much as possible with respect to the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the end of the bonus. Then, the process relating to the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the end of the bonus can be preferably executed.

(9-2) In the process of S43 shown in FIG. 13, the number of advantageous residual G of CZ and the number of advantageous residual G of AT
Alternatively, the number of advantageous remaining G in the special zone is subtracted, but after the bonus ends, these advantageous remaining G numbers are not subtracted as long as the return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set. As a result, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being lowered as much as possible with respect to the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the end of the bonus.

(9-3) As shown in FIGS. 7 and 20, when the next main state = CZ1, a special figure which is a display result for shifting the game state to RT1 is set as return waiting information.
When the next main state = special zone, the RT4 transition lip, which is the display result for the game state to shift to RT4, is set as the return waiting information. In this way, different return waiting information is set according to the type of the next main state, so the advantageous residual G after the end of the bonus
The process related to the subtraction of numbers can be preferably executed.

(9-4) As shown in FIG. 24, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, the return waiting information = 0 is set in S230. To. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, even when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, the return waiting information = 0 is set in S199. Will be done. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts (S43). In this way, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts not only when the navigation information is followed but also when the navigation information is not followed. Therefore, by not following the navigation information, the advantageous state is controlled. By extending the period, it is possible to prevent the capture of the player who tries to increase the net increase number.

(9-5) The common start process shown in FIG. 12 is regardless of whether or not it is in the bonus.
It is executed every game. Then, in this common start process, the advantageous section G number counter is incremented by 1 in S11. As a result, it is possible to prevent the gambling of the game during the bonus from being excessively increased.

(10-1) As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of types of RT states having different replay winning probabilities are provided, and any RT state can be controlled to an advantageous section. Further, the common start process shown in FIG. 12 is executed every game in any RT state, and S11
The advantageous section G number counter is incremented by 1. Further, the start processing of each main state shown in FIG. 13 is executed every game in any RT state, and when the return waiting state = 0 ().
YES in S41), the advantageous remaining G number counter is subtracted by 1 in S43. As described above, in any RT state, since the advantageous section G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent the game from being excessively gambling in the advantageous section as much as possible. Further, in any RT state, since the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent the game from being excessively gambling in the advantageous section as much as possible. By improving the end of the advantageous section in this way, it is possible to prevent the gambling of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively increased as much as possible.

(10-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT3 which is an advantageous RT, if the RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation at the time of winning the ascending / rolling lip, it shifts to RT1 which is a disadvantageous RT. This makes it possible to give benefits to the player who operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the navigation.

(10-3) As shown in FIG. 24, the return wait information is set to one of the special figure display wait, the RT3 transition lip display wait, and the RT4 transition lip display wait, and when these display results are not derived, S230 The return waiting information = 0 is not set because the processing of is skipped. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, as long as the return waiting information = 0, the processing of S43 is skipped and the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted. The special figure, RT3 transition lip, and RT4 transition lip set as return waiting information are promoted from RT0 to another RT state when displayed. That is, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted and the RT is concerned.
After being promoted from 0 to another RT state, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts. In this way, unlike RT1 which is controlled by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R without following the navigation like RT0, RT0 which is always controlled after the end of the bonus has an advantageous remaining G number. Is not subtracted, so it is possible to prevent the player from being excessively disadvantaged.

(10-4) Multiple types of advantageous sections are provided, such as precursory states, CZ, AT, and specialized zones. Regardless of which advantageous section is controlled, if the special figure or RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation in RT3 or RT4, the game state shifts to RT1. This makes it possible to simplify the process related to the transition of the gaming state as much as possible.

(11-1) As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the advantageous section G when not in the bonus
The result notification and freeze are performed at t0 when the number reaches 1500 games. On the other hand, FIG. 26 (
As shown in b), the result notification and freeze are not performed at t2 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, and then the result notification and freeze are performed at t3 when the bonus ends. In the result notification performed at t0 shown in FIG. 26 (a), FIG. 27 (a)
As shown in, the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section and the number of digested games in the advantageous section are notified. On the other hand, in the result notification performed at t3 shown in FIG. 26 (b), the number of medals paid out only during the bonus is added to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section as shown in FIG. 27 (b). The total value is notified by the result notification. In this way, the result notification can be appropriately performed not only when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games when the bonus is not in progress, but also when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the bonus. .. As described above, by improving the processing when the advantageous section ends, the result notification can be appropriately performed.

(11-2) As shown in Fig. 26 (b), the number of advantageous sections G is 150 during the bonus.
At t2 when the game reaches 0, the result notification and freeze are not performed, and then, at t3 when the bonus ends, the result notification and freeze are performed. In this way, not only when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games when not in the bonus, but also when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the bonus, the result is notified when the bonus ends. Can be done properly.

(11-3) As shown in FIG. 26, the freeze is performed together with the result notification. This makes it easier for the player to recognize that the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1500 games.

(11-4) As shown in FIG. 27 (b), the number of advantageous sections G is 150 during the bonus.
When the game reaches 0, the total value obtained by adding the number of medals paid out only during the bonus to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section is notified by the result notification. This allows the player to know the number of pure medals paid out during the advantageous section and during the bonus.

(11-5) As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the number of digested games is not notified in the result notification. As a result, for example, by displaying the total number of games (1520G) controlled in either the advantageous section or the bonus, the player is told that the total number of games is controlled in the advantageous section over 1500 games. Don't get me wrong.

(11-6) As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the number of advantageous sections G is 150 during the bonus.
When the game reaches 0, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off at that time, while the bonus lamp 60 is kept on. As a result, the player can be made to recognize that the bonus is in progress by turning on the bonus lamp 60, while it is possible to make the player recognize that the advantageous section has ended by turning on the advantageous section lamp 19.

(12-1) As shown in FIG. 14, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, if the CZ right is granted, the navigation is performed when the first push order bell is won, whereas the AT right is granted. If it is, navigation will not be performed when the first push order bell is won. Thus, RT
The control regarding the notification of navigation information when the CZ right is granted at 0 is different from the control regarding the notification of navigation information when the AT right is granted at RT0. This makes it possible to design a variety of games according to the type of advantageous section by differently controlling the notification of navigation information according to the type of advantageous section to which the right is granted, and manage the notification of navigation information. Can be preferably performed.

(12-2) As shown in Fig. 14, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, if the CZ right is granted, the navigation is performed when the first push order bell is won, but the AT right is granted. If it is, navigation will not be performed when the first push order bell is won. In this way, since the presence or absence of notification of navigation information differs depending on the type of advantageous section to which the right is granted, it is possible to draw attention to the player as to whether or not the navigation information is notified.

(12-3) When the AT right is granted, if the special figure is displayed without displaying the leading role because the navigation is not performed at the time of winning the first push order bell, the game state changes from RT0 to RT1. Transition. As a result, when the AT right is granted, promotion from RT0 is prioritized first, so that it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible.

(12-4) As shown in FIG. 14, CZ and AT in a gaming state other than RT0.
Regardless of which right is granted, navigation will be performed when the first push order bell is won. As a result, in a game state other than RT0, the presence or absence of notification of navigation information does not differ depending on the type of advantageous section to which the right is granted, so that it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible. ..

[Modification example]
Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, a modified example of the above embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About specific state]
In the present embodiment, the AT or special zone is applied as an "advantageous state" that is more advantageous than the normal section, and the precursor state is used as a "specific state" that can be controlled before being controlled by the AT or special zone. And CZ were applied, but it is not limited to this. For example, after the number of AT games and the number of specialized zone games have all been exhausted, A for a predetermined period (for example, between 30 games).
The withdrawal period during which the T lottery can be performed may be applied to the "specific state". And, there may be more types of navigation modes in AT and specialized zones than types of navigation modes in such a pullback period. In addition, the preparatory state in which it is confirmed that the control from the precursor state or CZ to AT (for example, the state in which the number of AT games is given) and the state of waiting to be controlled by ART by the promotion of RT is defined as the "specific state". May be applied to. And, there may be more types of navigation modes in AT and specialized zones than types of navigation modes in such a prepared state.

[About navigation mode]
In the present embodiment, there are a maximum of two types of navigation modes, white navigation and yellow navigation, but the navigation mode is not limited to this. For example, three or more types of navigation modes may be provided, such as adding a red navigation in addition to the white navigation and the yellow navigation. Further, in the present embodiment, a common navigation mode (white navigation) is provided between the precursor state and the CZ and the AT or the specialized zone, but the navigation mode common to both is not provided. You may. In any case, rather than the precursory state or CZ
It suffices if there are more types of navigation modes in AT and specialized zones.

[About navigation]
In the present embodiment, when the BAR matching lip or the BAR tempai lip is won in the special zone, the navigation notifies the first stop on the right regardless of whether or not the additional winning is won, but this is limited to this. do not have. For example, if you win a BAR matching lip or a BAR tempai lip during the special zone, the navigation will notify you of the first right stop when you are winning, and the killing navigation will notify you of the first stop on the right when you are not winning. May be done. In this case, when the first stop on the right is notified, the additional winning is confirmed.

[About symbol combination]
In the present embodiment, the symbol combination derived when the killing navigation is executed may be different between when the BAR matching lip is won and when the BAR tempai lip is won.

[About updating the number of advantageous remaining G]
In the present embodiment, in any RT state, both the advantageous section G number counter and the advantageous remaining G number counter are updated in the advantageous section. but,
Not limited to this, for the advantageous remaining G number counter, the RT state that is updated and the RT that is not updated
A state may be provided. Specifically, in the disadvantaged RT state where the replay winning probability is low, the advantageous remaining G number counter is not updated, while in the advantageous RT state where the replay winning probability is higher than the disadvantaged RT state, the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated. May be done.

By doing so, in any RT state, the advantageous section G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, and further, the advantageous residual G is in the advantageous RT state where the probability of winning the replay is high.
Since the number counter is updated, it is possible to prevent the game from being overly gambling in the advantageous section, while the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated in the disadvantaged RT state where the probability of winning the replay is low. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming excessively disadvantaged as much as possible.

[About result notification]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the advantageous section G in the bonus
At t2, when the number reached 1500 games, the result notification and freeze were not performed, and then, at t3, when the bonus ended, the result notification and freeze were performed. However, not limited to this, the timing when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during the bonus (Fig. 2).
In the example shown in 6 (b), the result notification and the freeze may be performed at t2).

By doing so, not only when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games when not in the bonus, but also when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the bonus, the result notification is notified during the bonus. Can be done properly.

In addition, when the result notification and the freeze are performed at the timing when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the background effect is performed and the result notification is performed in the period until the result notification is performed. In the later period, the background effect may be performed in the normal background.

By doing so, in the period after the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the player does not misunderstand that the advantageous section is still controlled to the advantageous section.

[About the transition of the game state]
In the present embodiment, when the ascending / rolling lip is won in RT3, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, the RT1 transition lip wins and R.
The game state fell to T1. However, not limited to this, when the ascending lip is won in RT3, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, the lip 1 wins and the gaming state is maintained in RT3. It may be.

In the present embodiment, when the rush lip is won in RT2, the RT1 transition lip wins and R when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information.
The game state fell to T1. However, not limited to this, when the rush lip is won in RT2, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, the lip 1 wins and the game state is maintained in RT2. There may be.

[About the setting of the return destination main state]
In the present embodiment, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state at the time of winning the bonus, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus may be set according to the RT state at the time of winning the bonus. Then, during the bonus, a lottery related to the instruction function may be performed according to the type of the return destination main state set according to the RT state.

[About navigation processing]
In this embodiment, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, if the CZ right is granted, the navigation is performed at the time of winning the first push order bell, whereas if the AT right is granted, the navigation is performed. Navigation was not performed when the first push order bell was won. However, not limited to this, in RT0, navigation is performed at the time of winning the first push order bell regardless of whether the right of CZ is granted or the right of AT is granted, but the second push order bell is won. At times, navigation may be performed when the CZ right is granted, whereas navigation may not be performed until the special figure is displayed when the AT right is granted.

Further, in RT0, when the right of AT is granted, the navigation may not be performed until the special figure is displayed when the push order bell is won.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, when the push order bell is won, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF is set regardless of whether or not the special figure is displayed. .. However, not limited to this, when the AT right is granted at RT0, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF may be set on condition that the push order bell is won and the leading role is displayed. In addition, in RT0, when the right of AT is granted, even if the push order bell is won and the leading role is displayed, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = O until the special figure is displayed.
It may remain set to FF. Then, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF may be set on condition that the special figure is displayed.

[About the state after the bonus]
In the present embodiment, RT0 after the end of the bonus is always controlled in the advantageous section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and RT0 after the end of the bonus may be controlled in the normal section. For example, in the process of FIG. 19, when the main state at the time of winning the bonus = the normal section, the return destination main state = the normal section may be set. In this case, as an opportunity to shift to the advantageous section, an AT transition role that grants the right to directly shift to the AT from the normal section without going through the CZ may be provided. Then, as described above, when a special lip that can be won only at RT0 is won, a lottery related to the instruction function may be performed and the AT right may be granted. In this way, if the right of CZ is granted at RT0 after the end of the bonus and the player shifts from the normal section to CZ, the player wins the AT at RT0 before shifting to RT1 by displaying the special figure. Expect. On the other hand, if the AT right is granted by winning the AT transition role at RT0 after the end of the bonus and the player shifts from the normal section to AT, the player
We expect that we will get out of RT0, which has a low replay probability, and be controlled by ART.

Therefore, in this modification, in the case of an advantageous section to which the right of CZ is granted in RT0, the navigation information is notified at the time of winning the push order bell to avoid the display of the special figure and maintain the gaming state at RT0. On the other hand, in the case of an advantageous section to which the AT right is granted in RT0, the special figure is displayed by not notifying the navigation information when the push order bell is won, and the game state is changed to RT0.
You may migrate from. In this way, when the right of CZ is granted at RT0, the player can be expected to win the special lip by maintaining RT0. On the other hand, when the right of AT is granted at RT0, the player can be expected to be controlled by ART by shifting the gaming state from RT0 to RT3.

[About CZ and bonus]
In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, only the precursory state, the CZ1 transition after the precursory state, and the CZ2 transition after the precursory state are determined by the advantageous section distribution lottery. However, it may be determined to be either CZ1 transition or CZ2 transition without transition to the precursory state.

Further, the main control unit 41 decides the number of games such as the number of CZ games by lottery (S103). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a fixed number of games may be assigned.
For example, whenever it is decided to shift to CZ, 20 games may be given as the number of CZ games.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to win the special lip only at RT0. but,
Not limited to this, the special rip can be won at all RTs, and the probability of winning the special rip may be higher at RT0 than at other RTs. By doing so, the player can expect to win the special lip at RT0 after the end of the bonus.

In addition, the probability of winning the special lip is set high (for example, 1/5), but the player is not limited to this, and can expect the player to win the special lip at RT0 after the end of the bonus. It can be any value. Further, when the special lip is won at RT0, it may be directly transferred to RT3 (ART).

In the case of RT0 after the bonus, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information when the first push order bell is won when the right of CZ is granted. However, not limited to this
In the case of RT0 after the bonus, the navigation information may be notified at the time of winning the push order bell during CZ. In this way, by always notifying the navigation information when the push order bell is won during the CZ, it is possible to avoid the display of the special figure and maintain the gaming state at RT0 during the CZ. This makes it possible for the player to expect that the AT right will be granted by winning the special lip.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31 (A), when bonus 2 is won during CZ2, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set in the game in which the bonus 2 is won, and after being controlled by CZ2 again, CZ When the number of games reaches the number of CZ games (20 games) (
The control of CZ2 is terminated when the termination condition of CZ2 is satisfied). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following may be used. For example, the end condition of CZ may not be the arrival of the number of CZ games, but may be either at the time of winning the push order bell or at the end of the bonus. In this way, if the bonus is not won during the CZ, the CZ ends in the game in which the push order bell is won during the CZ. If the bonus is won during the CZ, the CZ will end in the end game of the bonus.

In addition, various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, and the like in the above-described embodiments and modifications can be appropriately combined.

It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the scope of claims rather than the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.
